Act 187 Battle of the White Lion X

The Flame Blade Odysphes hung high above the halls of the Temple of Forsa, and the Believers and Jelfo in the hall even saw an illusory figure emerging from behind the sword, holding the sword in his hand and wearing a long dragon flame cloak, with his back to the people.

A strong feeling suddenly and irrepressibly welled up in JΓΆrfo's heart, and he seemed to see the magnificent era of the past, but the sages and heroes were turning their backs on them, drifting away. The beliefs and pursuits of his youth, the worship of heroes and his unwavering belief in the Temple of Fire are recalled, as if they were a voice flowing in the field of the heart, bitter and regretful after decades of fermentation and cherishing. As soon as Jolfo's legs went limp, he knelt down, and as soon as he knelt down, many low-ranking monks behind him also knelt down one by one.

The two scholastic masters also knelt down, and in front of Geert, one of the four sages, King Geert of the Cruz, they were drenched in cold sweat and could not say a word.

"We have made a sacred covenant, but what is our covenant? Thousands of years ago we defeated the Dark Dragon and freed Vaynd from tyranny. We are not saviors, but we are just seeking freedom. However, thousands of years later, the empire of the Miner no longer exists in this world, are we still qualified to say that we are glorious people? ”

The phantom of Gilt, the Lord of Fire, was silent in mid-air, but for these loyal followers of the Flame Temple, the question was in their hearts, and they could only be indifferent unless they had truly abandoned their faith.

Far away in the sacred palace of Faenzan, the majestic and tall figure let out a long sigh, her green gaze seemed to be able to see through the infinite time, to see the past, present and future at the same time under the canopy of thunder and lightning, the rise and fall of the Miner people. Humans and elves tore up their covenants and attacked each other, as if it were a thousand years of reincarnation, only this time the liberators became oppressors.

In the Elven Court, St. Osor, the Queen of the Wind, also felt that she had risen from a rock in the forest, and the two hunter sisters and many knights and spirits all looked up at her. She frowned slightly, looking at a certain direction of the wind in the west.

"Geert, whether it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, you are still so upright, everyone has changed, but you have always been ......the same"

In the Temple of Fossa where everyone knelt in unison, Sidney looked condescendingly from the altar at these peopleβ€”those who had atoned for their souls, and they were not at fault. Just forget your vows. She turned around and said to Roman: "Miss Roman, you did a good job, you didn't let them spread the news before, otherwise it would be a bit of trouble now, now please help open the main entrance, I need to announce this to everyone at once, the army of the undead is approaching Port Fatan." If we don't move fast enough, the port will be destroyed. ”

"An army of the undead?" Jolfo, who was kneeling not far away, heard the words. Stunned, he raised his head, there were still two obvious tear stains on his face, but the priest didn't have time to feel embarrassed, and hurriedly asked Sidney: "Lady Sidney, what are you talking about the army of the undead, how can there be an army of the undead near Port Fatan?" ”

"You should know the history of East Mez." Sidney glanced at him and said coldly: "This army of the undead began to gather before the solar eclipse, and at this moment it should have arrived in the east of the Golden Needle Valley, not too far from Fatan Harbor, if you don't want to see Fatan Harbor become a hell on earth." Hurry up and gather all the faithful in the whole diocese. ”

Jolfo's face changed drastically, and he said continuously: "How can this be! I see, Lady Sidney, please leave this task to me, this young lady is very born in the parish, and I can do it better if I leave it to me! ”

"Count me in!" Alemov in the crowd stood up, he first glanced at Roman, and after seeing that the latter did not mean to reproach him, he said loudly: "I am the priest of the third block, my name is Alemov, Alemov. Shedol, Ms. Sidney! ”

Sidney glanced at them, nodded, and the two of them immediately turned away to set things up.

The statue of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Palace retracted its gaze and fell on the two scholastic masters who were kneeling on the ground, and Joelfo and the others could still say that they were unaware of the whole plan, but these two people must have known the cause and effect of everything that happened today, even the collusion between the Silver Queen and the undead. However, her gaze only lingered for a moment on the two trembling fellows, and then she looked away coldly, and to be honest, she had no interest in the internal struggles of these temples if it were not for the necessity of the situation.

Sidney ...... Lady? At this time, Roman finally had time to interject, and she was already very curious: "Is this the Flame Blade Odysphes?" She asked, staring intently at the Flame Blade Odysfis.

"This is Ordphis, the Blade of Fire."

"But I heard it's damaged, have you fixed it?"

Fix? Sidney shook his head, how could the Flame Blade Odysphes be repaired, the sword soul of the Holy Sword recognized Brando and merged with the latter, only if the latter truly recognized the sword and the concept of Geert, the King of Fire, the sword could be repaired. As for now, the sword is actually in a state of temporary activation.

She couldn't help but think of what had happened a few hours earlier.

"Lady Sidney, since we are already an alliance, and now I am about to go to war with Her Majesty the Queen, as an ally, you are welcome, there are some things I may need to entrust to you immediately." In the Imperial camp, Brando turned to the Cruz officer after turning the hilt of his sword and knocking the Cruz officer unconscious.

Sidney nodded, "Please." ”

"You should also know that the Silver Queen is in collusion with Madara, and there is currently an army of the undead heading towards Fatan Harbor, and I need your help to destroy this army of the undead."

"Do you want me to go to Fatan Harbor to gather the middle and lower level priests of the Flame Sanctuary and form a group of priests to defend against the undead?"

Brando nodded: "The holy art of the Fire Temple and the holy art of Faenzan are the nemesis of the undead, although there are many undead who came this time, most of them are low-level undead, I think as long as the middle and lower level priests of the Diocese of Port Fatan unite and are not broken by each other, it is still very easy to deal with them." ”

Sidney pondered for a moment: "That said, the army of the undead is too large. We will have a chance to win only when the power of the golden flame is at its fullest during the day, but it is impossible for the undead to fight us in broad daylight. ”

"Not necessarily." Brando took out an agate-shaped gem and shook it in front of her, "They will definitely attack Port Fatan during the day, I promise you." ”

Sidney frowned and nodded silently.

"There's a second thing, Ms. Sidney." Brando said again.

"What's the matter?"

"It's about you. Did Her Majesty the Queen know about the fact that you took away the fragments of the Holy Sword Odysphes? Brando asked.

"That's why she wants to keep me," Sidney replied indifferently, as if to say something that had nothing to do with her, "I know what you're trying to say, and you're trying to ask if she's going to send someone to Port Fatan to intercept me?" ”

"Exactly, because the Flame Sanctuary still holds the secret of this flame gate, doesn't it?" Brando nodded.

"I think she'll send someone."

"Who do you think it will be, no more than ten people will be able to suppress you in the Flame Temple, right? Among them, the Great Holy See of Vala should be excluded, and Caesar is on your side, so it should also be excluded. Among the rest, if the Knights of the Yan Clan don't make a move, then there should only be two or three to choose from. Brando immediately began to analyze it in a down-to-earth manner.

Sidney glanced at him in some surprise: "I didn't expect you to know us so well, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen has greatly underestimated you." ”

"Lady Sidney, you and I are not-talkers," Brando interrupted her, "who do you think is coming?" ”

"Roderick, Roderick. Barbarossa. Sidney replied affirmatively.

Brando was slightly stunned, the candidate he locked in his heart was actually Roderick. The other is Madi the 'Most Holy', but not as sure as Sidney. He couldn't help but look at the statue of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Sacred Palace with some curiosity. The latter seemed to see through the thoughts in his heart, and explained: "By the side of Her Majesty, the most loyal person to her is Roderick, this matter is very important, and she will definitely let Roderick take action." What's more, Roderick is good at hymns. The holy spells of this series are very restrained to me. ”

Brando nodded, Sidney inherited the blood of angels and was good at melee combat, and the hymns with more control abilities were indeed very restrained for her.

"What are you going to do with him?" He asked again.

"Actually, as long as the lord now informs his subordinates and orders the Fusa Sanctuary to be closely monitored. It's okay not to give them a chance to open the Gate of Fire. Sidney replied, "If I'm not mistaken, St. Mephistopheles the Grey Sword must be in Port Fatan." ”

Brando shook his head: "No, Lady Sidney, the teacher is no longer in Port Fatan, not to mention that this choice is not good enough, if you believe me, I suggest that you should let Roderick come to Port Fatan, and then kill him, I can provide you with evidence that he is in collusion with the One Society." ”

Brando remembered that Roderick was found to be in collusion with the Society after the Wolf Plague, and although he was not a member of the Society himself, he used his cooperation with the Society to eliminate dissidents in the Temple of Fire, and he believed that this cooperation would never have started after the Wolf Plague, and some clues should be found in this era.

But Sidney interrupted him: "No need, you want to kill Roderick?" ”

Brando was slightly stunned and looked at her in surprise: "So you already knew?" ”

Sidney didn't choose to answer this question, but said lightly: "It's not difficult for me to deal with Roderick, but it's unlikely to kill him, not to mention that he definitely can't come alone, the Flame Gate of the Flame Temple, the lowest level of the Flame Temple, can teleport two people with the same strength as Roderick, and he may bring two high-ranking priests of the scholastic sect." ”

"It's not that easy to kill himβ€”"

"But it's not impossible, is it?" Brando could hear something in her words.

Sidney nodded, "I need your help." ”

"Me?"

"I need you to give me a portion of the Holy Sword Soul."

"The soul of the holy sword?" Brando reacted: "You're going to fix Odysphis?" ”

"Repair can't be talked about," Sidney shook his head, "but as long as there is a part of the Holy Sword Soul, I can activate it temporarily, the Holy Sword Odysphes and the Fire King Geert are the source of the Fire Temple's faith, the supreme thing, and with their blessings, no Fire Temple's holy arts can defeat me." ”

Brando was silent for a moment before he asked in a low voice, "I have never felt the existence of the soul of Odysphes, can I do it?" ”

"You can do it."

"Then I seeβ€”"

……

With a creak, the main entrance of the Fossa Temple was pushed open from the outside, which brought Sidney back to her senses from her contemplation, and then she heard Roman's crisp voice: "Marjorie, you're here too?" ”

"Miss Roman, why are you here, what's going on?" Striding in from outside the main gate was none other than Sergeant Marjorie, Sidney had seen the young man for the first time, but she immediately saw Jolfo and Alemov outside the main gate, and many believers were gathering behind them, and it seemed that the two men were doing their jobs quite well, and had already informed her of what she had ordered.

"Marjorie, this is Lady Sidney," Roman thought for a moment, probably thinking about how to introduce the statue of the Virgin of the Lion Palace, "--She's very powerful! ”

However, Marjorie had already learned from Charles and Brando about this goddess from the upper echelons of the temple, and in fact knew the details of this lady far better than Miss Merchant, so he nodded to the latter, glanced left and right, and found that the situation in the temple was not out of control, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Ms. Sidney, did you gather these believers?" ”

Although things were a little different from what he imagined, Sidney did not deny it, only nodded and said, "Yes, I believe you have understood the current situation, I will take these believers away immediately, is there no problem?" ”

Marjory shook his head: "No problem, Lord Lord has already ordered us, but do you need any help, ma'am?" ”

"No," replied Sidney, "you just have to do your own thing, guard the gates, and let not a single undead enter the city." ”

"I understand."

Roman looked at the two men with some boredom, and she turned her gaze to the side, surprised to find that the revitalized gate of the Temple of Fossa was embarrassing His Royal Highness the Little Prince of Eruin.

"Hey, lad, have you figured out the answer to this question? Doesn't look like you're that stupid? Could it be that your brains are full of moldy flour? ”

"Not really," Haruzer frowned and pouted, "Mr. Daimon, it's because your question is too strong, how can I guess what you're thinking?" ”

"Alright then, let's change the question."

"Then please ask a question, Mr. Daimon-"

"Guess what my name is?"
