Chapter 3: Changes in the Imperial Palace
"Because I'm the future King Eddard!" Ed raised his arms as if he had been crowned, and said proudly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"King Eddard!"
"King Eddard!"
……
Everyone involuntarily shouted these three words, even Lac Dianan and Grassi were no exception, and they looked at each other to see the relief in each other's eyes, that proud Eddard was already qualified to announce his accession to the throne in Canduras.
Looking at the Canduran Legion with a fanatical look in front of him, Black Thorn pouted expressionlessly, and with a casual swing of the horsewhip, a path immediately cracked behind him.
Lac Dianan did not dare to hold back, and immediately commanded the army to pass through it, and Ed immediately sat down, accepting the blessings and praises of every passing knight.
In the end, there were only two people left on the Canduras side, one was Ed who became a hostage, and the other was of course not Wu Liang, but Adria.
"Canduras needs you more!" Ed smiled bitterly and looked at his wife with pity.
"But I need you even more!" Adria whispered, with unshakable firmness in her words.
Black Thorn snorted coldly, and was very disdainful of the two of them.
"Strength and wealth are my life's pursuit! Woman? What the heck? ”
So says a bachelor.
……
It seemed that the system had decided to give Canduras a chance to live, so the Canduras Legion did not encounter any trouble on the ensuing journey, and the journey was uneventful, and it was rushed back to Tristram in the middle of the day.
At this time, except for the new patrol in charge of patrolling, there were almost no ordinary residents in the capital city of Canduras, and it was like a glorious ghost capital.
When the forces of the Ranger Camp and the Convent were stationed in the base camp of the Knights, they did not stop the residents from fleeing, and formed several mixed patrols composed of knights, rangers and nuns to monitor the wind and grass in the city and prevent the sporadic demons from suddenly escaping and endangering the lives of the remaining residents.
After the army entered the city, they did not dismount, but marched directly along the wide main road, Wu Liang looked at the obviously deserted streets with emotion, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.
As the army passed through a tavern, a decadent figure staggered out of the tavern door, and walked slowly down the street, clapping his pale hands and babbling nonsense.
"It's Farnham!" Casas, who was following behind Wu Liang, said in disbelief that he had the best relationship with Farnham among the knights, so even if the latter was so down, Casas still recognized his identity at first sight.
Rakdainan's eyes froze, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the ragged Farnham, and was speechless in surprise when he saw the once high-spirited Farnham fall to the current step.
The drunken Farnham opened his heavy eyelids and looked blankly at the tall figure in front of him, and after a long time, he finally remembered his identity, choked up and unable to speak.
His raised fingers trembled violently with too much excitement, his wide open mouth kept breathing, but he couldn't spit out a word, and the uncontrollable tears stained his dirty face even more, and Fanham had just gained a glimmer of clarity, but then he fell into madness again.
"They're all dead! All dead! ”
His face suddenly erupted with a deep rage, and he roared madly, rudely breaking free of Rakdainan's hands holding him, and turned to all the knights and yelled, "All of you are going to die!" All to die! ”
After roaring angrily, Farnham cried and laughed, turned around and slowly slipped into a dark alley.
Rak Dianan's clenched fists were bruised, and his face was full of self-reproach.
"Rak Dianan! Now is our time for revenge! Pull yourself together! Grassy said in a deep voice.
Rakdainan nodded sullenly, without words, but the depression in his eyes could not be dissipated for a while, he was the leader of the Knights of Light and Guardian, and the leader of all the knights, seeing his subordinates become like this, his heart was like a knife.
After the Western Expeditionary Legion rushed back to the base camp, Wu Liang followed Lac Dianan and Grassy to meet the fat paper knight who was in charge of the stay, Gracewald.
In the Council Chamber of the Knights, several powerful beings with awe-inspiring or restrained momentum listened intently to Lac Dianan's account of the western expedition to Westmar.
"Little Ed was actually detained by Black Thorns, it's a little difficult to do!" Gracewald shook his head helplessly, he couldn't do anything when he encountered a powerful but shameless existence like Black Thorn.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince will return safely in the near future, please don't worry." The blind nun dressed in mysterious purple said softly, she "looked" at the guilty Lak Dianan, and smiled slightly.
And as soon as her words came out, the rest of the people present except for Wu Liang were relieved, the purple-clothed nun was named Akara, a respected nun, and her nun's mind could predict the uncertain future.
"I would like to go to the palace and ask King Leorik why he would agree to Lazarez's request and lead our brother into the abyss from which he will never recover." Lac Dianan proposed, but was immediately opposed.
"The feeling of being a ranger tells me......" a hawk-eyed man in fiery red leather armor warned, "In the palace, demonic energy is rampant. ”
The one who spoke was one of the leaders of the Ranger Camp, "Fire Crow", and his strength was almost comparable to that of Black Thorn.
"King Leorik is still in the palace, I must save him!"
As soon as Lac Dianan heard this, he was anxious, and he regarded loyalty as higher than his life, and at this time he only thought of the safety of King Leorik, even if King Leorik once wanted to kill him, and he was disappointed in the latter again and again, but he was always loyal to the king's character, so that he ignored all the unpleasantness.
"Don't fantasize, your king may already be in the company of demons, otherwise how could he give so many mediocre orders." Huowu said contemptuously, immediately drawing the wrath of Rakdenan.
"King Leorik has only been taken away by time to be wise, he belongs to the human race, I know you don't like him, but I won't allow you to insult him like this! He is the king of Canduras! Rakdenan stood in front of the fire crow in a fit of rage, his cheeks flushed with anger, and his clenched fists seemed to fall on the other man's face in the next moment.
"Huh!"
Huowu sneered, Shi Shiran stood up, calmly looked directly at the angry Lakdianan, shook his head and said disdainfully, "He is not the king of rangers!" ”
What the fire crow said was the truth, Leoric was the king of Canduras, but he was not the king of the rangers, nor the king of the nuns.
There are four professional forces in the land of Canduras, the Light and Guardian Knights, the Palace Priesthood, the Convent, and the Ranger Camp, the strongest Ranger Camp and the weakest Nuns are in the same vein, and they are very resistant to Leoric's claim to be king of Canduras.
Therefore, in this expedition to the west, only knights and priests can be seen in the army.
Twenty years ago, Leorik was a generation of heroes who understood the importance of peace for development, and he also knew that he had encroached on other people's territory, so he had always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards the two sides, allowing his development forces to recruit members and never interfere.
This delicate balance has been maintained, so that for twenty years Canduras has remained in a state of calm and prosperity, and has grown rapidly under the leadership of Leoric.
"Quarrels won't solve anything!"
The old Dika Kane suddenly lifted his staff and tapped it on the ground, causing Rakdenan and Fire Crow to sit back in silence, their eyes fiercely clashing in the air, but they just stopped mocking each other.
Wu Liang, who had made an exception and was allowed to participate in such high-level meetings, had been immersed in the joy of mission rewards until he saw this scene, and he felt the heavy atmosphere in the field, and he was surprised that the thin Dika Kane could be so majestic, and only one sentence made the powerful leaders of the two major forces dare not speak.
Dicakane struggled to get up from his chair, the years had exhausted his physical strength, Wu Liang looked at his trembling body, and only hoped that this wise old man would last forever.
"Lac Dianan, what will happen to you if Leorik falls into a demon?" Decca Kane asked, a pair of cloudy eyes looking somewhere, and the sound of vicissitudes reached Lac Dianan's ears.
"I'm ......," Rakdenan struggled, but still relented, "I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" ”
"Hmm!" Dika Kane nodded, and immediately performed the drawing stunt that surprised Wu Liang again, and the magic circle that was no different from the last time was born in front of everyone, the patterns of unknown meaning were complex and dense, but they did not look bloated, and they were as pleasing to the eye as a beautiful work of art.
Decca Kane slowly took out a few pieces of light gray stone that Wu Liang had touched from the cloth bag he carried, gently rested them on top of the magic circle, straightened up his rickety body and said to Rakdenan, "You come personally!" ”
Rakdainan nodded calmly, and then fed his holy light into the magic circle, and in the blink of an eye, every pattern in the magic circle appeared with brilliant light.
Decakane once again took out a piece of greystone and pressed it against his forehead, and whispered, "Leoric, where are you......"
Wow!
A dazzling white light suddenly appeared, and it did not dissipate for a long time, this scene immediately made Wu Liang frown, there had never been such an abnormality when searching for White before, and sure enough, Dika Kane immediately said to Rakdenan: "The entire palace has been buried, and it will become very difficult for you to support the search for the magic circle!" ”
Lac Dinan shook his head with a determined expression, signaling that Decca Kane should not worry.
And at this moment, under the palace ground, Archbishop Lazares looked at the forbidden circle that kept shaking in front of him, and smiled coldly.
"Leoric, where are you?" Dicakane continued to mumble.
Gradually, the light is no longer dazzling, the light is intertwined in the air, and a vivid picture scroll appears in front of everyone, among the scrolls, the towering palace stands on it, and the smart figure wanders in the middle, which is a top view of the entire palace.
But looking at those scattered figures, Wu Liang only felt very weird, but he couldn't say why for a while.
"What about the servant? What about the female dependents? How are they all knights and priests? Rack Dainan suddenly said to himself, but Wu Liang suddenly brightened.
"No, they're no longer knights and priests!" Akara shook his head slowly.
