Chapter 243: An Invitation from the Templar
Soon, as Agapì had said, Rhodes met with the two emissaries from the land of France. When he walked into the hall, he saw that the two envoys were curiously looking at the room in front of him——— compared to other places, Rod's palace itself was not very large and gorgeous, and it could even be regarded as relatively simple, there was no such huge hall that was large enough to hold the entire square at a glance, nor was there the kind of throne that looked incomparably noble and majestic. As a player from modern Earth, Rhodes actually doesn't care much about this kind of face-saving engineering, as long as he can get by on face, there is no need to make people feel majestic.
Because of this, the hall of the center of Grandia is not so much a hall of deliberations, but a beautiful and beautiful park, semi-circular, similar to the stepped structure of the school pulpit, and the white circular conference hall is surrounded by clear flowing spring water and emerald green plants, which looks very pleasing to the eye, and also faintly adds a bit of elegance and solemnity to this place, and with the transparent glass floor in the center, you can clearly see the suspended clouds and ocean below. In a way, this further reinforces the concept that this is a city suspended in the sky, and it makes people spontaneously feel a sense of awe. It is not the oppression of the environment itself, but the awe that comes from the depths of the heart when any life sees with its own eyes something that it would never have been able to do.
When Rhodes appeared in front of the two, the envoy who was still curiously looking at the palace in front of him immediately withdrew his gaze, and then knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Thank you for allowing us to enter your realm, the great inheritor of the dragon soul, Your Majesty the Void Dragon."
"You're welcome."
Hearing such a formal title, Rhodes felt a little unaccustomed. However, he didn't say anything, but waved his hand and motioned for the other party to get up. At the same time, he carefully observed the two messengers in front of him, and on the surface, they were wearing full sets of glass armor like those elven guards. Along with the face, the cloak was shrouded, revealing only the elongated, pointed ears. Still, Rhodes could tell who they really were from their pure white armor and the round golden badge on it.
"The Holy Maiden's Guards of the Land of Law?"
Looking at the golden badge, Rod couldn't help but ask. At the same time, I had some doubts in my heart, as we all know, the country of law is a country of theocracy. But in fact, the country of law is not the same as the church, and most players are still very clear. On the surface, it seems that the church is spread all over the country of law, and it is a religious country no matter how you look at it. But in fact, the church itself is just a derivative of the two twin dragons, as if someone has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, she will invest in some financial products, but those financial products do not represent the wealth she originally had. And the church. It is such a "financial product" that only preaches popular beliefs and dogmas, and does not encourage people to worship a specific personal idol, and if the church and the kingdom of law are really one, then there is no need for them to do so. As long as the two creation dragons are pushed to the altar, how many believers do they want?
But the church doesn't do that, they preach faith and spirit, not a specific being. At the same time, he is responsible for the review and confirmation of financial turnover and contract. To be honest, the inhabitants of this world realm may not be able to see it. But players have basically slandered that if you remove the fact that the church preaches the faith itself, it is simply a transcontinental international business and financial joint management organization.
As a veteran player, Rhodes still has some understanding of the political systems of the countries on the Dragon Soul Continent. He originally thought that it would be the high-ranking members of the church or the representatives of the Elven Forest who came here, which was also the high-level envoy that the country of France would basically send when it was involved in foreign affairs. Because both elves and churches are subordinate to twin dragons. But. This is not the case with the Holy Maiden's Guard, in a way, they represent the twin dragons themselves, rather than a collection of political concepts like the Church and the Land of Law. This also means that what they brought was a formal invitation from the twin dragons?
"Yes, Your Majesty, we are members of the Holy Maiden's Guard of the Land of Law."
Hearing Rod's question, one of the elves stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully, and spoke. Then she reached into her bosom, took out a letter from her bosom, which looked very ornate, and handed it respectfully with her hands forward.
"We have come here by order of Your Majesty to invite you to the Rite of Order to be held in the Sanctuary on the third day of the Radiant Moon."
"Order ritual?"
Reaching out to take the letter, Rhodes raised his eyebrows and asked, he was sure that he had never heard of a similar ceremony, what was it?
"Yes, not only you, but His Majesty Ion, the Dragon of Darkness, and His Majesty Lilian, the Dragon of Light, will also be invited to attend."
Will Ion and Lillian also attend?
Hearing this, although Rod did not have any expression on his face, he had already begun to think quickly in his mind. If this was a meeting about the political trends of the entire continent, then Lilian would not need to attend at all, and everyone else should know that Lilian had no real power in the Land of Light, so even if the meeting gave her any tasks, it would be in vain. But even so, Lillian was still invited, led by twin dragons, and even the dark dragons would attend? Plus yourself............... Thinking of this, Rod seemed to suddenly understand something, not to mention the content of this ceremony, just looking at the people who participated in this ceremony themselves are already very clear.
They are all the inheritors of the Genesis Dragon Soul.
If that's the case, then it's not surprising that players don't know the way, and the ceremony itself can only be attended by the creation dragon, so the player naturally doesn't have the privilege to know the contents. And now inviting myself to participate, although I don't know what the intention of Lu Dao is, it is obvious that this is an opportunity for communication and meeting between the inheritors of the Creation Dragon Soul. And perhaps, this is also an opportunity to show off his strength to other Dragon Soul inheritors.
Thinking of this, Rhodes flipped through the letter in his hand, and at the same time, a line of system prompts that he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.
【Activation Mission: Soul Tome】
The kings of creation are about to gather again, and what you do will directly affect whether you are eligible for their recognition and be on an equal footing with the ancient guardians. When you are recognized, the name of the dragon soul that exists is revealed, and it exists.]
[Special conditions: From the beginning to the end of the mission, the Phantom Guardian can act regardless of the range of potential]
Sure enough, just as he thought, seeing the task prompt in front of him, Rod raised his eyebrows. This is obviously an occasion for the Genesis Dragon Souls to show their strength, and only after gaining the approval of the other four Genesis Dragons can they truly gain the title of Void Dragon. And the reason why the system unlocks the range of action of the Phantom Guard this time means that the three archangels and the four demon generals will also appear together, so the elemental lord and the six-pillar demon god under his command, plus the little bubblegum and canary who are supreme powers, are naturally no exception. Judging from the comparison of strength, the completely unsealed Fire Elemental Lord Seven Love has no problem dealing with one of the three archangels and the four demon generals, and Marlene, who is fully open, can also single-handedly take on any demon general or archangel. Although Little Bubblegum and Canary are slightly poorly equipped, they are more experienced, and it is not difficult to kill one person in a two-on-one way. As for Christie and Alice......... Rod didn't plan to push Christie out of the stage, although the other Christie was strong, but it wasn't her body after all, it was Christie's body. With her current physique, being exposed to such a powerful being would only bring unnecessary danger. It would be safer to keep her in Grantia, and it would be able to give herself an extra ace. As for Alice——— Rhodes hasn't found her yet, and I don't know where she wanders in the library, so it seems that she will have to look for it when the time comes.
"In five days, we will lead His Majesty and your men to the Sanctuary of the Law as the guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, as long as it is within our scope, we will try to answer them. ”
"There's no need, thank you for your kindness."
Hearing the elf's words, Rhodes put away the letter in his hand, and then he looked around.
"Then, during this time, please have a good rest in Grantia."
"Yes, Your Majesty, everything is as you wish."
After receiving Rod's answer, the two elven messengers saluted Rhodes respectfully again, and then turned to leave. Looking at their departing backs, Rhodes frowned and thought carefully. Going to the country of law to participate in this holy scripture is probably the biggest test for me at present, especially when I have to confront the dark dragon Ion, thinking of this, Rhodes can't help but have a headache. The Dark Dragon is not a good character, and if he discovers his vulnerability, it may not be long before the undead army will march into his territory. Not only that, judging from the current situation, he will have to meet Lillian and Lydia at that time. Lilian's side is okay, but on Lydia's side, how should she face it?
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but shake his head, forget it, compared to these, the most important thing to consider at present is the number of people to be brought to participate in this holy scripture. Everyone else is easy to say, but Alice, one of the six pillar demon gods, is the biggest variable, according to another Christie, she is only a soul body now, and I don't know how much power Alice has at the moment. Before leaving, Rhodes seemed to have to talk to Alice.
Anyway, didn't Christie say that when the time comes, she's bound to show up?
Now, it should be the right time. (To be continued......)
