Chapter 53: The Four Powers
The truth of the matter made everyone who heard it break out in a cold sweat. If this catastrophe does strike, the familiar world will be devastated.
"I'll never allow this to happen!Ipeya, I'm going to stop you!And you owe me an important answer!" Julian clenched his fists, steading his resolve, not noticing that his fists were too strong, his nails digging into the flesh and blood dripping down his palms.
The original library just came back to his home country to get a sword, but he didn't expect things to happen so out of control, Julian felt powerless, but he couldn't escape the guilt.
Owen patted him on the shoulder, shook his head at Julian, and motioned for the latter not to take the blame on himself. The humiliation of being deceived and exploited must be cleansed with the blood of hypocrites - this is what the instructor had taught the two of them when they were studying together in the classroom of the Paladin's training camp.
Realizing his friend's good intentions, Julian's complex gradually calmed down. After calming down, Julian politely asked Isabel: "Your Highness Isabel, you said that we should stop this catastrophe, what are your specific arrangements?"
"Arrangement? Isabel sneered, "That's the dilemma you humans are facing, and it's your business how to solve it." I have bought half a month for you, and I have already done my duty. ”
"Only half a month?" Hearing this deadline, Julian's heart was half cold, "This demonic beast in the forest sea may not be anything to your Golden Dragon Clan, but it is an extremely dangerous existence for us humans. When we first entered the forest sea, a total of ten people had overcome all the obstacles and it took almost two months to barely advance to the place close to the Golden Dragon Sacred Domain, and they almost all became the snacks of the King Kong Giant Ape. But now, with only half a month, we may not even be able to rush through the territory of the King Kong Giant Ape. ”
"And with two seriously wounded men. Owen added.
At this point, Isabel ignored the two humans, and her gaze passed over to them, calling out the name of the man standing in the grass, silent.
Hearing the Empress's call, Shatarikis had to do it, even if he didn't want to. He leapt into the sky, his hands held high, and a golden fireball focused on his hand, and then quickly swelled into a huge fireball with a diameter of 4 or 5 meters. Shatarikis pushed forward with both hands, and the golden fireball tumbled away, leaving a golden path of flame on the ground, but not causing any damage to the flowers or other living creatures in its path.
"Follow this path of fire, no demonic beast will dare to attack you, not even the King Kong Giant Ape. With that, Isabel turned and left.
"Please stay!" Owen called out to her from behind.
Isabel twisted her head back slightly.
"Your Highness, can you tell me what will happen to the friend who was taken away, that is, Ray, who has a relationship with your Golden Dragon Clan?" Owen asked in a respectful tone.
This time, however, Isabel ignored Owen's words, and she lifted her steps and walked forward as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Owen was about to persevere, Shatarikis descended from the sky and stopped Owen. The killing intent in his eyes will definitely not make people suspicious, as long as Owen dares to take another step forward, he will be burned to slag.
This deterrence lasted for several seconds. After confirming that Owen and Julian had not tried to follow, Shatarikis turned around and left with his Empress.
An intense golden glow emanated from the two departing backgrounds, one near and far, as bright as the sun. Owen and Julian had to cover their eyes to avoid going blind.
Half an hour later, feeling cold droplets of water fall on them, Julian and Owen opened their eyes. Isabel and Shatarikis were long gone, and the vast golden temple was gone, and the surrounding ornate gardens and clear skies were gone. The two of them were standing in the stormy night of the Antigorin Sea, letting the storm sweep over their thin bodies.
Was what just happened all hallucinations?
No. The path of golden flames left behind by the flames of punishment was still clearly presented in front of them, and even under the beating of the wind and rain, the flames showed no sign of extinguishing......
In the blink of an eye, the half-month period has long passed.
No one knows what really happened in the Antigorin Sea, because at this time the entire Rocard Empire was immersed in a carnival. The annual "Red Moon Mica Festival" kicks off on a larger scale than in previous years.
On the lively streets, colorful flags are displayed, flower petals are fluttering, and at a glance, there is a vast sea of people. People dressed in classical traditional costumes, standing on both sides of the street, raising their hands and shouting with joy --
"Praise! ”
"Praise! ”
"Praise! ”
......
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the convoy carrying the empress was slowly parading around the city.
Dozens of nobles stood on the left and right, and in front and behind the guard of honor of the freshly clad and angry horses, in the largest float, the ruler of the empire, Empress Ipeya, was sitting in a tulle tent that shaded the sun, receiving the praise and worship of her people. Although people could not clearly see Her Majesty's true face, every time she waved her hand into the crowd, it caused the crowd to go crazy wave after wave.
In front of the Empress's float were knights led by General Menavino himself, while two smaller carriages followed, one with the Archduke Rousseau, the head of the civil clique, and the other with a distinctive cross carved into it, and a person sitting in it was the diocesan bishop of the Empire.
Originally, in previous years, clergy generally did not participate in secular celebrations with no religious overtones, such as the "Red Moon Mica Festival", but this time Empress Ipeia graciously invited him to participate, out of fear of the supreme authority that Ipeia had gained after the end of the civil war, and because the Central Church was so anxious about the Truth Affair that the local church could not take care of the local church, the isolated diocesan bishop could only participate in this celebration for the first time in a semi-forced manner.
General Menavino, Archduke Rousseau, and the diocesan bishop, respectively, represented the military, the regime, and the theocracy, all completely on the side of Ipeya. However, it seems that there is still a little bit of power left to be truly in charge.
"Whew...... Rumble ......"
At this moment, there was a long muffled sound in the sky. Everyone in the street stopped the noise and consciously quieted down. The convoy also ceased to move, and the army and the people looked up together and saluted the sky with the most reverence.
Then, a great black shadow obscured the sky, and the city and the people below were cast in shadow, but in an instant, everyone felt that they were bathed in golden light.
A huge golden dragon flew over the city of Yacheng Mountain at an unhurried speed. The golden dragon seemed to be flying very carefully, it did not release the slightest bit of dragon power that frightened the animals, nor did it create a powerful air flow that would cause the people below to flip their horses and the roof when it flapped its wings, but only flew silently over the crowd. It flies high enough to even allow people on the ground to see the scales on its abdomen with the naked eye.
Many people wept silently, although the oath with the golden dragon was part of the glory and tradition of the Rocal Empire, but the vast majority of people in this vast empire never had the opportunity to see the real dragon in their lifetime, even in the battle that ended the civil war a few days ago, the golden dragon appeared in the city, but because it was stormy and in the midst of war, all the people stayed at home, The doors and windows were locked, and the lucky few lucky enough to see the dragon's true form were only a handful of people living around the palace, and now, they were able to see the real dragon for the first time, how could they not make people cry with excitement?
The golden dragon circled over the city and finally landed in the back garden of the palace. The crowd, which had been silent for a long time, finally broke out again, and the secretion of adrenaline was more intense than ever.
Well, now the support of the Golden Dragon Clan has been on the side of Empress Ipeia, and along with the other military power, political power, and divine power, it has been fully displayed in front of the people of the empire. No previous emperor of the Rocal Empire had ever combined these four powers, but Ipeia did.
