Chapter 154: The Inheritance of the Holy Spirit
"Alice, you go out first, let me talk to this Emerald City Lord alone." After a moment of shock, the mercenary Wang Lance quickly raised his eyebrows, and then said that he would let his daughter leave first.
Glancing at Roger with a very complicated expression, Alice nodded to the Mercenary King, and then slowly left the study.
"Click."
With the sound of the door closing, the mercenary king reached out and pulled a small mechanism on the desk, and there were flashes of magic on the walls, floors and ceilings of the study visible to the naked eye, it was obvious that this was a mechanism to open the magic enchantment.
"Okay, this Dragon Knights' preparation, preparation, success, and membership, which force are you here on?" deliberately accentuated the tone of the words of the reserve members, and although the mercenary king still had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.
Roger's self-reported title is simple, but it directly involves three forces: the elves, the dragon knights, and Roger's own night elf lineage.
The Night Elves lineage, a new force that has just begun to develop, is nothing for the time being, and at most it can only mean that Roger is a leader of a force independent of the Elves. However, no matter how independent this new force led by Roger, who is the child of nature, it is inseparable from the elves after all, after all, the elves will never really let the children of nature break away from the elves.
Regarding the entanglements between the elves and the night elves, the mercenary king said that he was not interested in mixing them at all.
However, compared to the elven race, which has an alliance with the mercenary kingdom, the meaning of the dragon knights, a special organization that spans major forces and races, is completely different. That group of legendary dragon knights is definitely not a existence to be messed with, and many small countries do not have the strength to resist this organization.
However, the eldest son of the Mercenary King, who died in the Demon Plague, was once a member of the Dragon Knights. Therefore, with such a relationship, the Mercenary King does not have to worry about any trouble from the Dragon Knights in the Mercenary Kingdom.
Of course. The premise is that it is indeed a trouble from the Dragon Knights, but Roger claims to be a "reserve member" of the Dragon Knights.
No single force will allow so-called "reserve members" to represent the entire force.
And glanced around the enchantment in the room. After making sure that this room was safe enough, Roger nodded at the mercenary king and said, "I came here by the oracle of the god of beauty. ”
"Beautiful ......" The mercenary king raised his eyebrows in shock, and then swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and then collapsed on the back chair weakly. casually picked up the wine glass on the desk and took a sip, and the mercenary king, who tried to suppress the shock with alcohol, was very helpless to find that the wine glass was actually filled with juice.
After drinking this glass of juice in one gulp, the mercenary king looked at Roger, who had a calm face, and was a little helpless. The mercenary Wang Lance was not worried that Roger was deceiving him, after all, it was a blasphemous crime to deceive him in the name of a god, and he would definitely be wanted by the Church of the Gods. And the relationship between the royal family of Gelaru and the god of beauty is also very secret. No outsider has known about this for so many years, so the mercenary king is very sure that Roger must have been sent by the God of Beauty, even if he is really not the God of Beauty, he must have been assigned by the God of War.
Whether it's the god of war or the god of beauty, it's a notoriously troublesome god in the heavenly realm. The Church of the Gods also often fights with each other over the grievances between the gods, and the Church of Beauty and the Church of War are two churches with many enemies.
However, the two churches with many enemies have been able to support themselves to this day, and it can also be seen from here how strong the god of beauty and the god of war are.
The mercenary Wang who breathed a sigh of relief quietly calmed down his mood. To be honest, in recent years, a series of events that have occurred today have made this king lose his temper the most.
"Tell me, what did Your Majesty the Beauty God ask you to do?" Playing with wine glasses. The mercenary king stared at Roger with his eyes intrinsic.
Very helplessly, Roger smiled bitterly and said: "His Majesty only told me that His Majesty was almost unable to hold on, so he sent me to assist His Royal Highness Alice." Do your best to ensure that the bloodline of the royal family of Gelaru can continue to be passed on. ”
"It's already decided that Alice will succeed me, but what about Julian when he grows up?" Mercenary Wang Lance's face was a little ugly.
Julian is the eldest grandson of the mercenary King Lance and the son of Prince Thors, a former member of the Dragon Knights. Although he was only twelve years old. However, Julian already has the strength of a fifth-level swordsman, and it is said that his strength has even shown signs of breaking through to the sixth level recently. The level of talent can be seen in general.
Originally, the mercenary king planned to wait for Julian to grow up and pass on the throne to this child. After all, in this mercenary kingdom mixed with dragons and snakes. Although there are special cases such as the Sword and Rose Mercenary Regiment, women are obviously not as mixed as men. Therefore, despite Alice's hard work, even with the support of troops loyal to the royal family such as the Iron Blood Mercenary Regiment, it may still be difficult for Alice to gain a foothold in the mercenary kingdom.
After all, there are male mercenaries who despise women in this mercenary kingdom, and many male mercenaries with machismo may not be willing to see the appearance of a female king.
"Alice isn't a good fit, but she's the only one who can take your place right now, isn't she?" Roger looked at the mercenary king's ugly face, and always felt that the mercenary king was not very happy with Alice's ascension to the throne.
"Since you are a child of nature, you must have heard of the Holy Spirit inheritance, right?" The mercenary king lowered his head and said: "The mercenary kingdom is respected for its strength, and there have been several queens, so although Alice is a little younger, I originally planned to let Alice ascend to the throne, after all, that kid is really working hard." ”
"But!" The Mercenary King sighed again, "Alice went a little wrong when she received the Holy Spirit inheritance, so I turned to cultivating Julian." ”
"Receiving the inheritance can also be problematic?" Roger's eyes widened, "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing." ”
The inheritance of the Holy Spirit of the royal family of Gelaru is indeed very famous, but there are similar inheritance secrets among the royal families of various countries, so the royal families are actually more envious of the heroes and heroes of the royal family of Gelalu in the past.
Esoteric methods such as the transmission of the Holy Spirit are in fact life experiences such as the life memories of members of the royal family that have been preserved by various means. And the royal family of Geralu is of divine descent. Therefore, many of the most prominent kings or members of the royal family of the past were able to ascend to the Holy Spirit by virtue of their merits in the mercenary kingdom after their deaths.
Of course, a hero like Prince Thor, who died young. I don't think I will have a chance to become the Holy Spirit. After all, although Prince Thors is superb, he has not left much of a record. Therefore, it is impossible to become the Holy Spirit of the God of War lineage, which values military exploits the most.
The inheritance of the Holy Spirit actually refers to the fact that the ancestors of the royal family of Gelaru, who have become the Holy Spirit, instilled part of their memories and power into the descendants who were selected by them, and such a lineage generally did not have any descendants who were favored by the Holy Spirit to accept the inheritance, or there was more than one Holy Spirit who handed over their inheritance.
After all, only part of the memory and power are inherited, and under the control of the Holy Spirit entrusted to the inheritance, I have never heard of success or not getting the third result other than the inheritance.
"I don't know the specific reason, but after accepting the inheritance, Alice lost a lot of memories, and only remembered the events before her eldest brother died in the Little Demon Disaster." The mercenary king looked at the surprise on Roger's face, and he shook his head helplessly, "After that." I personally asked several of the ancestors who were present at the time, and according to them, Alice did receive the inheritance, and more than one. However, the Holy Spirits who gave the inheritance have all gone into hibernation, so I still haven't figured out the details. ”
"And Alice, who was originally very aggressive, has become very mature and stable since then, as if she were another person, so I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart that I finally chose to cultivate Thor." The mercenary king casually put the wine glass in his hand on the desk, "Although Alice used to be very well-behaved, she would never do such a thing. ”
Look at the wine glass that was originally filled with juice. Roger also fell silent.
He also understands the mercenary king's concerns, and it is obvious that Alice, who has gone wrong, is obviously not suitable to be the heir, at least until the mercenary king finds out what happened to Alice, the mercenary king will definitely not be at ease to let Alice take over. However, the other successor is only twelve years old. Obviously, he is more unsuitable to inherit the throne than Alice, so now the mercenary king himself is also in a dilemma.
But his days are running out now.
"It's imperative to find out what happened to Alice first." Roger said to the mercenary king with a solemn face. "I have a solution to this. Maybe let me give it a try? ”
"Oh?" The mercenary king's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Roger tightly for a while. Then he nodded slowly, "Yes, but I will be there then." ”
"And rightfully so." Seeing that the mercenary king agreed, Roger smiled and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to prepare a teleportation array for me, I need to invite a friend to come over." ”
The mercenary king looked at Roger and the gang again, and then nodded slowly.
The mercenary king's movements were very fast, and Roger waited for the helper he needed smoothly, and then the mercenary king took Alice directly to a living room where only Roger and his helpers were there.
"Father, who is this?" Alice, who followed the mercenary king into the living room, immediately noticed the man with a wide cloak next to Roger, but found that the mercenary king's face was also full of suspicion.
Shrugging at the wary Alice and the hesitant mercenary king, Roger patted the cloaked man next to him and said, "Okay, you can introduce yourself." ”
"It's a pleasure to meet both, I'm Anne, a diplomat from the Emerald City." Pulling down the cloak, Anne straightened her ears before nodding at the Mercenary King and Alice with a smile on her face.
"Foxes? No, is it a half-breed? Looking at Anne's obvious fox ears and tail, the well-informed mercenary Wang Lance quickly judged Anne's identity.
"Yes, Anne is a fox half-breed and a psychic mancer, making her the best person to find out about Her Highness Alice."
Seeing that the mercenary king nodded, Alice suddenly frowned: "Father, I don't have any problems, I don't need to be subject to psychic investigation, right?" ”
"As a swordsman, the sword in your hand is undoubtedly your second life." Roger looked at Alice with a solemn face, pointed to the [Red Lotus] sword on her back and said, "But do you remember where your sword came from?" ”
"This ......," Alice hesitated.
"This big sword was actually given to you by me! This is the weapon I got from the god of war! However, since druids can't use metal gear, I'll give it to you at the time. This big sword should be very handy for you as a believer in the god of war, right? Roger said calmly, and Alice's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Alright, let's get started." Roger waved his hand, and the gossipy mercenary king and Anne suddenly became serious.
Waving her wand, Anne carved the magic array on the ground and explained to the mercenary king and Alice: "Since I need to establish a spiritual channel for His Majesty the mercenary king, who is a demigod-level powerhouse, I need the assistance of the magic array, please don't worry too much." ”
"Don't worry, I still have the guts to do this." Mercenary Wang said heroically. In fact, even with the assistance of the magic array, it is difficult for Annie, whose strength has not yet reached the legendary level, to make any bad impression of the mercenary king.
Alice, on the other hand, looked at the magic array that was gradually forming on the ground, and held the big sword in her hand tightly. To be honest, she was still a little resistant to Roger and Anne, but at this time, it was impossible for the Mercenary King to make her back down.
So when Anne completed the magic array, the mercenary king pulled the reluctant Alice into the magic circle with Roger.
Seeing that the mercenary king, Alice, and Roger had all arrived in the center of the magic array, Anne slowly closed her eyes and slowly activated the magic array on the ground.
When the light of the magic array completely enveloped the three of them, Alice suddenly felt that something was constantly pouring out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and then she lost consciousness. (To be continued......)
