Chapter 052: Simba
"If you were my own brother, you wouldn't say such a thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoHow do you feel when you know that your sister was almost killed? ”
Admittedly, this is a pretty face, but the words that come out of this mouth can sometimes make the guard officer Leon angry.
Zoro's eyebrows furrowed slightly, signaling the guard officer Leon to calm down.
Under his observation, Horsen Edward did not appear to be annoyed by the stunner's sister's complaint. Instead, a question mark formed between the eyebrows, and then it stretched happily like an exclamation mark.
"Really? My sister. It seems to me that even a king will immediately treat you with courtesy when he hears that you have been called the daughter of Hosen. In the entire Seven Kingdoms, no one has dared to offend you yet. At least, I've never seen one! ”
As he spoke, Horsen Edward's chin lifted up, unoblivious to his sister's words.
is ignored, especially this brother who knows himself. Miss Alvira was so angry that her teeth rattled. At this time, Christina stepped forward, only to face Edward, making her blush a little when she spoke, and even lowered her head, "Son of the great Horsen, valiant General Edward." I'm sure you remember me, Christina, daughter of Abraham, Lord of Onyx River. When we were young, we ...... Met. Christina's voice grew inaudible.
And in Edward's point of view, it was a beautiful melon seed face, and he couldn't help but stare at it carefully.
Not a native of the Dande Kingdom himself, Edward didn't have many opportunities to see Dande's beauties. Needless to say, she is still the daughter of a nobleman who is familiar with her.
"Oh, you're Christina. Daughter of Apollahand, lord of Agate Rivertown, when she was young...... Well, we do. ”
Horsen Edward's somewhat confused eyes, falling on Sauron's perspective, made him feel a little unbearable.
Where did this Edward remember Christina, he had clearly forgotten everything. Pronounce Abraham's name as Apollaham.
"Lord Edward, I can testify. Your sister, Miss Alvira, is indeed true. Yasuo, the lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, has indeed threatened Miss Alvira's life. ”
Hear what Christina has to say. Horsen Edward's expression was indeed a lot more serious. And his eyes looked at Sauron and his party, who were guarded by the Knight of Light. In particular, the royal coat of arms on Zoro's chest was noted.
And Zoro himself, at the right time and helplessly, conveyed an innocent look.
Seeing this scene, Edward's originally slightly frowning brows gradually loosened, and his eyes flashed as if he was laughing.
"Alvira, since when did you like targeting a child? Behold, the man whom thy mouth hath threatened thy life, he may be a teen or even a man. And...... The body is thin and the health is also poor. ”
Eventually, Horsen Edward's patience seemed to run out. "Alright, my sister. You should go back with me, this is my father's order. ”
"I'm not going back!"
All eyes looked in the same direction, and no one would have thought that this stunner, whose skin was as white as cream, would be so loud when she was angry.
"You're always using my father to press me. You know, my father never took my feelings into account. Half a year, half a year later, I will be married to the prince of the kingdom of Handforths. And I was the last person to know the news. ”
The anger that had been endured for so long exploded. Alvira's eyes turned red, and tears were tried to be forcibly hidden. But it still flowed out unexpectedly, not within hope.
All the Knights of the Holy Light showed embarrassment. Horsen Edward's eyes glanced around, showing helplessness.
"Alvira, father, he is a strong soldier and does not like others to disobey his orders. I know that this Prince of Handforth is twice as old as you, and he is indeed not a hero in terms of quality. But my father said that Handforth was a powerful kingdom that would one day become a great empire. …… Since you don't want to go back for the time being, I have no choice but to accompany you. Tell your brother what you want to do next. ”
Edward stressed that this was Hawson's order.
The thought of her father's strength made Alvira feel dazed, and she looked at her brother and Cristina with empty eyes.
When she missed these two cheeks and looked back, these eyes suddenly darkened, and suddenly flickered again, as if she had found an outlet for all grievances and unwillingness, and then ignited an unquenchable anger.
"I'm going to have the Temple of Light Inquisition burn him in the name of heresy, and then give the Dragon Court Woodland to Christina. My brother, as long as you can make Christina the rightful lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands, I will go back with you. ”
………………
……………………
For a moment.
Even a person like Sauron, who has two lifetimes of experience, looks at things calmly and calmly.
At this moment, he also felt that his eyes seemed to be burning outward, and if he could, he would go up and slap her hard.
Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Obviously, Alvira and Cristina are the same kind of people.
Although Zoro was surprisingly quiet, an uncontrollable feeling of resentment was churning in his heart.
A territory with a population of nearly 10,000 and the allegiance of 3,000 sergeants. He thought he had authority, but he encountered such a strange situation.
When two women can also threaten the Dragon Court and threaten their own personal safety, Zoro can't help but say indignantly in his heart, "When you meet this kind of brainless stunner resentful woman, if you really lie down, you can get shot." ”
Struggling to pull a shred of reason from the chaotic mind, Zoro opened his eyes, a forbearant wrinkle between his brows.
When he glared at Perkins fiercely, the other party spread out his hands, revealing a bitter gourd face to show helplessness. In fact, Zoro also knew very well in his heart that as Biggins, he was not even qualified to talk to Edward.
"How to respond to this crisis......
Zoro realizes that in the end, he will have to rely on himself.
Horsen Edward didn't show up, and with the help of Biggins, Sauron was able to deal with the two brain-dead women.
Alvira and Cristina are determined to persecute themselves. Now add Horsen Edward, and it's hard to say.
"The breakthrough in dealing with this crisis lies in Edward, the son of Hawson." In Sauron's eyes, "With a noble enough status and power, Edward's statement can completely influence the will of a district inquisition." ”
Of course, even if he doesn't succeed, Zoro will never sit back and let the two brain-dead girls play with themselves. He had his worst-case plan, "Use the Scroll to return to the territory and become an enemy of the Temple of Light from now on!" ”
"Zhongping Ridge has arrived."
With a hint, a city on a ridge came into view in Sauron's view. Duanmu City, built on a rocky fence, was no stranger to him. In Sauron's lord's journal, it is written, "The concept of a city is very different from that of a town in general. ”
In a professional phrase, it is that "the city itself indicates the center of civilization formed by the concentration of population, means of production, capital, pleasures and needs, and the feudal society of mankind has developed here to its apex." ”
All in all, owning a city is like owning a miniature kingdom.
……
Head to Taikoo Shing and pass through the territory of Chung Ping Ling. The Holy Light Army is temporarily resting in the field of Zhongping Ridge.
As for the food and water, it was provided free of charge by the lord of Zhongpingling in the name of 'offering the holy light'.
So, when the corners of Zoro's mouth sketched a sneer. He knew that it would be inevitable to meet the Marquis of Walter again.
"Your Excellency General Edward, the great son of Horsen and the greatest knight under the Holy Light, and the Lord of Zhongpingling, Walter, pay you my respect."
"Daughter of Hawsen, Miss Alvira, the noblest and most holy legion of the Holy Light in the Holy Light, your beauty is as stunning as the legend suggests."
Purple symbolizes nobility, and white represents purity and integrity. No matter which way you look at it, Sauron thinks that the despicable Marquis of Walter is not worthy of the color of his clothes.
The Marquis of Walter saluted the children of the legendary Horsen in a humble and rich tone. Edward and Alvira only nodded indifferently in return.
After some pleasantries, Marquis Watt's slender eyes, with a look of pleasure and mockery, naturally looked at Sauron, the lord of the Dragon Court, who was feeding his mount twenty meters away.
As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed.
Marquis Vought's eyes glared fiercely at Sauron, as if they were about to spark.
"Little Baron, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Tell me, should I just behead you, or should I torture you slowly until you beg for mercy? ”
Regarding the threat of Marquis Walter, Zoro sneered, "Marquis Walter, the despicable Marquis Walter, on the grass of the Dragon Court Woodland, there are thousands of souls of the soldiers of Zhongping Ridge who are wailing to you again. Don't say that your army couldn't kill me before, even today, you are helpless against me. In addition, I have great mercy to warn you that the day of destruction is not far from Zhongpingling......"
The cheeks of the Marquis of Walter, the lord of Zhongping Ridge, gradually distorted, and he longed to witness the Lord of the Dragon Court being burned alive immediately.
However, there was no room for the knights of Zhongping Ridge to get close, and there was no need for Master Isol, the Ringwraith, or the guard officer Leon to stop them.
A large sword carrying a halo blocked between the Marquis of Walter and the Dragon Lord Sauron.
"Do not err before the Light, Lord Marquis. The Lord of the Dragon Court is not an ordinary lord, he is a member of the Dande royal family, he has been charged with heresy, and he will be protected by the Holy Light until he is tried by the Inquisition of the Light. ”
Edward's eyes were the most direct warning.
As the son of Horsen, he didn't have to take a marquis in his sights. Even if the other party is a City Lord.
Since the existence of the power of the Temple, in the entire land of the Seven Kingdoms, Edward has not seen anyone dare to oppose the Legion of Light. …… Since he became an adult, he had not seen a lord dare to be disrespectful to him.
Marquis Vought wanted to ask Edward for something, but was forced by the blade of the other party's sword to remain silent.
Seeing their lord regressing step by step, the Zhongpingling Knights wanted to draw their swords.
However, seeing this scene, the Holy Light Knights, who were resting in the wild, pressed down on the hilt of their swords one after another. The walking sergeants who were sitting on the ground also stood up.
"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, Your Excellency General Edward." Marquis Walter, the lord of Zhongping Ridge, bowed and said goodbye to the figure he could not provoke. And in Christina's swearing, leaving with resentment and rage. "Get out of here, despicable. Christina, the daughter of Abraham, will one day take revenge on you! ”
The real murderer of Baron Abraham is at hand. Looking at the Marquis of Walter, Christina was almost in tears of excitement, but she could not get Zoro's sympathy. Because this is a woman who does not deserve sympathy.
…………
The tall war horse in horse armor came to Sauron's side. It is white all over and has a pair of red eyes.
It is said that such a horse has the blood of one-eighth unicorn.
And the owner of this warhorse, Horsen Edward, is now using a different perspective to re-examine the young lord under his 'protection'.
"Lord of the Dragon Court, the souls of thousands of Zhongpingling soldiers? Hehe...... I have to say that I was surprised by this result, after all, it doesn't look like you're over thirteen. ”
Caught in Edward's attention, it turns out that Sauron's purpose has been achieved.
"As you heard, Lord Edward!"
Under the watchful eye of several knights of the Holy Light, Zoro's demeanor and tone were standard.
However, the content of this sentence is not understandable to ordinary people. Because what Sauron is speaking is the most standard elven language.
In the surreal experience of Total War, Sauron takes on the role of an elf who was born into an elven family from the moment the character was created. Being proficient in the language of the elves seemed quite normal in Sauron's personal logic.
However, when it fell on Edward's ears, the scene clearly surprised him.
The Temple of Light comes directly from the elven world, and it is not so much that the master of the temple has always listened to the will of the Holy Light, but that he is following the instructions of the elven empire. Therefore, a noble-born nobleman of the Holy Light like Edward has been learning the language of the elves since he was a child.
"You know the language of the elves." Edward looked Sauron up and down with a gleaming look in his eyes, and waved his hand to signal the knight of light beside him to step back and begin to communicate with Yasuo in Elven language.
However, he soon discovered the fact that his pronunciation was not as standard as that of a 13-year-old.
In order to cope with the crisis, Sauron chose to use the memories of his past life to scare Edward, completely out of necessity.
However, the stakes are significant.
Sauron thinks that since they have already done this, it is better to be more thorough.
I made up my mind to pay attention. Zoro's more and more calm gaze not only made the other party unpredictable, but also added a sense of mystery.
"Lord Edward, I don't just know the language of the elves. And, Rivendell's Hall of Glory is no stranger to me. ”
At this point, Sauron's tone and syllables changed again, and for the first time since coming to this world, he used the words of the elven nobles, "...... Spread the light over your shoulders and pray that when darkness comes, your heart will remain steadfast. Walking on the lonely road, you are far from home. Darkness comes, and faith will guide you to your direction. The starry sky, the spirit of the sky - the starry sky empire! ”
Edward did not understand the Upanishads at all. But he was completely stunned by this series of difficult and incomprehensible, deep and hoarse syllables.
If Edward could still try to be as calm and calm as possible just now, then at this moment, the clear and coherent cognition in his mind was like a mess of paste in an instant.
The so-called Upanishads, in Sauron's opinion, are actually just things that the higher upper elves use to identify themselves.
The effect of using the Upanishads will cause a zigzag snake symbol to appear on the user's forehead, which will not only emit a silver light, but also contain hundreds of miniature elven characters densely packed with.
There is no way to fake this.
"You ......"
Staring at the strange scene in front of him, Horsen Edward suddenly became dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. A handsome cheek was also almost completely bluffed.
……………………………………………………………………………………
"That's Sinda's symbolic imprint."
Silently reminding himself, Edward's heart became chaotic, and a sense of confusion began to overshadow his state of mind.
Looking at this young lord from the Dande royal family, he had a very complicated feeling.
Edward will not forget that the so-called Sinda means High Elf, also known as Gray Elf, meaning - Gray Wise.
In Edward's childhood education, the status of elves was high, and the human kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms and even the Seven Great Temples were the most loyal servants of elves.
So when he saw the serpentine symbolic imprint, his shocked mood became easy to understand.
In my memory, the elf was long, intelligent and beautiful, with elegant manners and keen eyes. The most striking sign is a pair of pointed ears.
Even if the appearance of the Dragon Court Lord Sauron is very different from the elves. But the symbol couldn't be fake, something Edward thought he couldn't be mistaken.
From this, he had to come to a conclusion, "Even if the Lord of Luolong Court is a human teenager, then he should also be inextricably linked with the High Elves. ”
Looking at Edward's deep thinking expression, the corners of Zoro's mouth turned up slightly, and a smile was hidden on his indifferent face, and the mouth lines on his cheeks climbed from the corners of his mouth, and he said the words he was ready to say, "Your Excellency Edward, in the name of the High Elf Mentor Valda, I ask for your help. As long as I survive the crisis, you will be awarded the Order of the Hall of Fame of Rivendell. ”
A medal of honor for the Hall of Fame of Rivendell?
For a noble-born knight of light like Edward, it was the crowning glory he had pursued all his life.
The meaning of that medal means that you can freely enter and leave the Starry Sky Empire.
In Edward's memory, even his father, Hawson, was only awarded the Order of Rivinedell at the age of forty-five.
Edward had a handsome face, and although his face was engraved with traces of valor and determination, it could not hide his caution in the slightest. After all, on the border island of the Dande Kingdom, in a barren land where birds don't, Simba will actually appear. It sounds very illogical, very weird.
"You say that the elf Valda is your mentor, and as far as I know, Her Highness never leaves the Starry Sky Empire. So...... Since you've stepped into the Starry Sky Empire, you must have some memories of it. ”
Not only do you have a memory, but it is as familiar as your own palm prints.
Hearing the other party's question, a smile appeared on Sauron's face.
Edward's ordeal, even for a king, was quite difficult. After all, not everyone can casually step into the Starry Sky Empire, and not everyone can tell the geography of the Starry Sky Empire.
So when Sauron answered all the questions fluently. The level of detail is even beyond the imagination of the other party. And made Edward shamefully admit that all he knew was to listen to his father's dictation from Hawson.
At this point, Edward seemed to have no doubts, a pair of deep-knit eyebrows, revealing his seriousness.
"Lord Sauron, as a Knight of the Light, I will earn the Order of Rivendell in my own way. Out of reverence for Her Highness Valda, and the mark of noble Sinda, I, Edward, will not only swear by my honor to keep you safe, but will also help you in any way I can. I also hope to be able to become true friends with you. ”
Edward's face was very serious, and his title to the Lord of the Dragon Court was instantly raised to an equal level.
Elven Mentor Valda.
Zoro remembers that in his previous experience with the surreal game of Middle-earth, it was an NPC standing in the Palace Square of the Starry Sky Empire. Every day, the words are repeated to all those who experience entering the Elven Empire, "Welcome to the Starry Sky Empire, I am your Elven Mentor Valda!" ”
As for the high degree of overlap between the elven starry empire in this world and the elven empire in the surreal game of Middle-earth, it is still an unsolvable puzzle for Sauron.
Apparently, Edward knew the name. And with respect for the name. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it so seriously.
Staring into Zoro's eyes, Edward lowered his posture and continued, "As for the trial of the Inquisition of Light, it seems to me that it is not necessary at all. The Holy Light Inquisition, a provincial province in the Temple of Light, is not qualified to judge Her Highness Valda's disciples, let alone my Edward's friends. ”
In Zoro's eyes, to use a popular phrase, "Sycophants are the same as falling in love, and the highest state is that both people are comfortable." I have to say that Edward's sycophant shot hit the bull's-eye. ”
Edward maintained the highest reverence for matters that he could not understand, and for characters that could not be understood by common sense logic. He turned his head and shouted almost in a commanding tone, "Alvira! ”
From Sauron's point of view, Edward's expression and voice were as serious as his own commands to stand up as he did when he was reviewing the army.
"What's the matter, my brother." Reluctantly, Alvira walked over from a distance, followed by Christina.
Seeing Zoro and Edward facing each other, Alvira was impatient, "I don't think we need to waste any more time on a heresy, but should burn him at the stake as soon as possible." You know, my brother, I've had enough of your fatherly tone......"
"Shut up Alvira, I want you to apologize to Lord Zoro!"
As the smile on Zoro's lips deepened, a dramatic scene appeared.
Stunner's breathing is noticeably faster, and his blood pressure is also rising. On top of the large flush on her cheeks, Alvira appeared incomprehensible to Edward's words.
"You know what, Alvira. The 'heretic' in your mouth, he is a disciple of His Highness Valda. I can let you disobey your father's commands, but I can't condone you to ruin his reputation. Lord Zoro, he's a Simba. ”
A stunner is a stunner, even if he laughed angrily and sneered, the corners of Alvira's mouth still rose to an arc that made people want to blaspheme, "You didn't take the wrong medicine, my brother, the general Edward under the Holy Light." Just him, Simba? Can an inconspicuous boy be involved with Her Highness Valda? I'm really worried about your intelligence. ”
Alvira crossed her hands over her chest, dismissive of Edward's explanation.
It seems to realize that the atmosphere is interesting and that something is wrong.
At this time, Christina also chimed in, even if she didn't know what Simba and Valda's Highness were.
"General Edward, I assure you, he is only a human being, and his small voice has nothing to do with the elven empire as distant as the horizon. For you, it's just a small person who counts. ”
Since it has just been stated that he wants to be friends with Zoro.
Hearing Christina's words at this moment made Edward's face suddenly pull down, as if he had been brushed with a layer of paste. "Shut up, you're not qualified to speak here."
Out of the corner of Edward's eye, he kept an eye on Zoro's face. When he noticed that Sauron's eyebrows were so knit together that he had to say harshly, "Lie and conspiracy to frame a lord and nobleman who wants to gain his territory." As the just and holy Knight of the Light, I have to say that your actions are completely incompatible with your nobility, and you are not qualified to be Alvira's friend. In the name of the Holy Light, I declare that from now on, using the privileges of the Holy See of the Holy Light, you will be relieved of your nocracy. And your destiny will be to become a slave of Lord Zoro, Christina. ”
It was only at this time that Sauron suddenly realized. The name of the elven mentor Valda should be full of a strong deterrent power, maybe it was a figure who even Edward's father, the commander of the human Holy Light Legion, the ninth-order powerhouse Huo Sen, had to bow down when he met.
This lie is a bit big......
When Solon reopened the Upanishads, the crooked Simba symbol reappeared on his forehead. Looking at the stunner's ecstatic expression of the coexistence of high tide and pain, and Christina's graceful posture that was dizzy and almost unable to stand.
While Sauron felt a sense of joy, he did not forget to make a friend with such a powerful background as Edward.
"Son of Hawson, Lord Edward. I, Sauron Dande, would like to be your most sincere friend. As for Miss Alvira, I would like to accept your apologies. And I wish you a harmonious and happy marriage with your prince. As for Christina......"
Turning around, a mockery appeared on Sauron's face, "I'm sure you'll be a competent handmaiden who knows how to please your master." ”
Hearing the words of the Dragon Court Lord Zoro, Christina's face was so white that she wanted to ask Alvira beside her for help, but the other party was also at a loss. Christina's melon seed face lost its bloody color, and she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and she fainted in front of everyone's eyes because of despair and humiliation.
……………………
If power is a tool, then power is magic that can do whatever it wants. If you want to know how fun it is, you should ask its suitors.
Stamping Edward's ring mark on a scroll can erase all the accountability of the Inquisition of the Seven Temples against the Lord of the Dragon Court.
On another piece of paper, without even an imprint, and only by signing Edward's name, he could order the Inquisition of the Temple, in the name of blasphemer, to strip Christina of her nostrilous status.
"My friend Zoro, you and your retinue have regained their freedom, but I invite you to join you on the journey to Taikoo Shing. After all, with the Scroll of Return, you can choose to return to your territory at any time. ”
Edward had already discovered that Sauron was carrying a scroll back to the city in his bag, but he did not order his men to search for it. This shows that Edward did not intend to really burn himself at the stake from the beginning.
I have to admit that this won the favor of Zoro.
Taikoo was the Acropolis of Black Mountain, but he had never set foot in person, so Zoro accepted Edward's invitation. "As you wish, my friend Edward!"
Edward had no objection to Sauron calling his name by name. Next, he ordered the Knight of Light to release the surveillance and guarding of Sauron and his party.
Zoro rode his horse again with the guards Leon and Isol. And at this moment, Biggins was already looking at Yasuo, the lord of the Dragon Court, with eyes that bordered on adoration and fanaticism. Especially when he found Edward, the son of Hawson, he actually pulled out his Halo Sword to show Sauron. The smile was, in Biggins' own lewd words, "like a girl with her piao open thighs." ”
