Chapter 438: Summoned
Gredi's residence in Grenada has the largest dome and the largest number of arches on the continent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Of course, it can also be said to be a sanctuary, or a temple, where Gredi's favorite handmaidens live, they are the priests of Greday, they inherit her bloodline, they are beautiful and cruel at the same time, their loyalty to Greday is unassailable, they are not afraid of pain, they are not afraid of death, for they are honors and praisesβno one knows the number of these maids-in-waiting, because they are constantly changing, some die before their kind, some become sacrifices or sacrifices, There were also those who were suspected of not being religious enough and were simply disposed ofβthe four chiefs of the handmaidens who had the right to make this judgment would not hesitate, and if the children were pious enough, they would have heard Gredi's call in the mourning moor, and the harsh punishment would have only preceded their return to Gredi, for which they should not have complained, and if not, they were hypocrites, and they deserved to be punished.
Nicks is the eldest of the four, and her great-grandson is the red-robed sorcerer Ostahl, who now controls the Dragonthorn and its token, the Thieves' Guild known as the Fineweb (the one in which Kelce once intervened but was unsuccessful). She had lived six times as many lives as a normal human, but because of Gredi's favor, her face and body still looked like a slender and delicate girl.
She scrutinized the throne, which was so large that it took up almost a third of the hall, and Gredi's throne was a huge whole made up of countless dragon bones, most of which were white fangs and rocky skulls that rolled inward like a tideβthough Greday never said it explicitly, everyone was speculating that these might be the trophies of the Red Dragon Gredi. Above the messy hyoid bones were heaped with gold coins and large gems, pearls hung from the ribs, gaps filled with sand of mythril and adamantite, and the surface of the vertebrae was painted with magic patterns and totems - some wondered if the criss-crossing nicks were left by a powerful lich, and perhaps the soul of the defeated dragon was still among the broken bones, and with a call from Gredy, it would regrow its scales and flesh and prostrate itself in front of the red dragon to fight for her.
It is likely that Grenada has an alliance with the Seventy-Seven Islands, and that lichs are not uncommon in the royal capital, which is shrouded in a scarlet smog all year round, and is often recruited by Grenada's army, and that Grenada's priests have had the honor of hosting a demigod lich...... Although, the impression he left on the Knicks is not at all indescribable...... For a while, Knicks even thought his faith was wavering, given that he had accepted Gredy's invitation, and Knicks cursed his carelessness as he quickly extinguished that terrible thought. She took the scarlet velvet from the maid behind her, the color of the velvet was so bright and pure, with a rich smell of sulfur and myrrh that only pure children's blood would never fade from moisture, sunlight, and dust. About thirty pounds of velvet were covered in the keel throne by the Knicks, and in the light of the fire and smoke, they looked like blood flowing from the keel.
A footstep sounded behind the maid, and Nyx turned, the Dragonborns of Grenada were accustomed to inlaying precious metals on the heels of their boots - gold, adamantite or mythril, so that when they collided with the stones, their footsteps would be particularly disturbing, but if they needed to, they would be as silent as spiders walking on spider silk - only one man in this majestic hall dared and could do so. Nicks bowed to him slightly, "Your Majesty," she said, "I didn't expect you to be the first to get here." β
"Because today is very important to me. The "new king" of Grenada said that he was dressed in grand attire, wearing a sword and dagger, and holding a staff of adamantite gold in his hand.
Then came his eldest son, Mitcot, who was different from the other Dragonborns, wearing Mithril's full-body chainmail as if he were walking in the army, even the backs of his hands and ankles were covered, and the chainmail on his chest was adorned with the scales of a red dragon, the scales came from a young red dragon, the red color was bright and bright, probably ...... Gredi's third or fourth child of the Red Dragon, who had fallen in the war during Grenada's expansion, mourned for him, but he didn't waste the rare good material - the new king turned his head so as not to smile sarcastically, and he saw Kelmen and Kelce, who were also his children, but they never hid their disgust and hatred for each other.
Looking through the dim sky circled by the arch, you can see that there is a small red dot from small to large, its speed is so fast, in the blink of an eye, the red dragon's chest is darker than the other places, sharper and thicker shield scales obscured everyone's view, it flapped its wings rapidly, its thick hind feet swept past the eyes of the new king, set off a foul wind and then rushed into the air again, circled for three weeks in a row, before falling on the covered bridge connecting the hall, Mitkot only saw a blinding flash, and the red dragon changed from the form of a giant dragon to the form of a humanγ
This is a female red dragon, and the mother of Kelmen and Kelce, but when she walks past Kelmen and Kelce, she does not even give them a look, and in those diamond-shaped pupils, only the terrifying and magnificent throne is reflected.
Then Gredi's other children of the red dragons followed, as cruel and arrogant as all the red dragons, but none of them dared to step into the hall in the form of a dragon, even if every part of the hall was large enough for a dragon to walk with its head held high.
There was no place in the hall except the throne, and the children of the red dragon of Gredy stood closest to the throne, followed by the new king and his children, and the maids stood behind them, as if to serve, or to speak of vigilance and threatβthey waited with bated breath, except for the small sound of spices burning in the great brass vatsβ Then they heard a suppressed but heavy sound, like something beating at their hearts, like a sharp sword tearing through the scales, and everyone and every red dragon bowed their heads respectfully, and with this sound came a heavy smell, the freshest smell of blood and fire that you can smell in the deepest nightmares, it was thick and colored, substantial, touchable, and crushing every inch of your skin.
Gredi walked out from the back of the hall, in the form of a dragon, she was bigger than every red dragon present, her scales were full of ripple-like rings, as deep as the marks of burning on grease with a soldering iron, and the edges of the scales were purple and blue like night, indicating that even with the age of the dragon, she was already entering old age, but her eyes, those eyes, even if they were obscured by a translucent instantaneous membrane, they were still sharp and bright as if they gathered all the flames and stars on this main material plane, and her breathing was long and powerful, like a wind that blew through the wasteland, howling endlesslyγ
"Come to me. She said, "My child." β
No one could mistake this for another dragonborn or a red dragon, and the new king stepped up and sat down between Greday's paws tucked across his chest, Gredi's tail coiled around and the tip of his tail resting on his knees.
Gredy nodded in satisfaction, "That's good," she shifted slightly, "Let Cremar in," she said to Nix, "let's take a good look at him." β
Nicks bowed deeply to Greday.

The otherworldly soul didn't get the slightest reminder or warning, but it didn't matter, it was always ready.
So when he heard that Gredi's official summons was at dawn the next day, he didn't panic, but had a strange, relieved feeling - perhaps because the second slipper upstairs had finally been dropped, he was not allowed to take his attendants with him, and in a side hall that resembled a secret room, he was told that he needed to clean himself, that all scrolls, potions, and runes had been confiscated, and that the maid seemed to have checked if he had any magic tattoos, and that a maid had brought him a brand new set of clothes.
The black-haired spellcaster walked into the hall with an embarrassed expression, but in this plane, embarrassed is still a very unfamiliar term, so the dragonborn and the red dragon see an unusually calm face, maybe a little weird, but this is not surprising, even the red dragon must face extremely heavy pressure when facing Gredi, let alone a dragonborn with half elven blood.
"Cremar. Gredi said that the voice of the red dragon was like thunder rolling in the thick clouds in the closed hall, and the sound and the leaking magic reverberated the air in the hall at the same time, and some of the maids turned pale and their breathing became rapid.
Gredy showed an approving smile, the black-haired spellcaster did not show any cowardly demeanor, calm, and calm, although the heavy hair color and the color of the iris were not within the scope of Gredi's approval, but she liked his eyes very much, their eyes met in the air, and the soul of the other world paused slightly, and bowed deeply.
"Greetings to you," it said, "the mighty and venerable Red Dragon Gredi." β
The red dragon laughed in amazement, "No," she said, "you shouldn't be a shy call me, child, that title should only be used for outsiders who have nothing to do with me, and you ......," she said, "Cremar...... You are my descendant, and you should, call me 'Mother,' just like everyone else here. β
She moved her claws, and the new king jumped from his position almost at the same time, his reflexes were swift and timely, for the next moment Gredi stood up, and his tail swept slowly over the keel and the gold coins, with a crisp and expensive sound: "Cremar, Cremar, Cremar......" She repeated, "Do you know why you have such a name?" I gave you this name, child, and I remember the first time I saw you, when you were so small, so small that your father could hold you up with one hand, your eyes were closed, your breathing was weak, and even your crying came and went, and I touched you, and you were cold, and I thought you would die in a few daysβbut I gave you a name," Gredi suddenly said in a very short sentence in dragon languageβ Dragons are different from lingua franca, compared to lingua franca, dragons have more distinct and intense ups and downs, with distinct syllables, sometimes like roaring, sometimes like wheezing, the soul of the other world did learn dragon language with the lich, but it was like being in another plane, it could listen, but it had to speak slowly, clearly, Under the premise of being low, it is a little numb when it is so emotionally charged with Gredy that the pronunciation is not so standard, but fortunately the sentence is simple, only two words to say, and Gredi immediately explains. "Cold, and small, krah...... malγ She uttered the name in dragon language for the second time, and the souls of the other world seemed to be able to hear it more clearly this time.
- The bottomless abyss beneath, it sighed and poked at the lich in the sea, for the first time I knew that you should have been called Kameow.

"Ostal ......" muttered Larry, who had just gotten a piece of information from the dangerous red-robed warlock, but he wasn't sure if it was real, but he was even more reluctant to pass up the opportunity - he had a lover, Gredy's priest, and he went to find her, but was turned away- Yes, the temples and sanctuaries of Gredi do not accept any visits and sacrifices today, and this usually happens when Gredi comes to the royal capital, because the priests need to listen to Gredi's will to carry out their will, so it is very likely that this information is true.
"How much should I give?" said Larry, knowing of course what he needed most right now, but he couldn't give, at least not until Mitkot died.
He snapped his fingers, and a servant sped up to him, kneeling on the ground and waiting for his orders.
Send those cute furries along. He had decided, and it seemed that they were still quite pleasing at the banquet, and that he had spent a great deal of money on them, and that such extravagant and useless gifts should have been quite in line with the wishes of his present host. (To be continued.) )
