The corridors of the palace resounded with the sound of hurried footsteps.

The captain of the Praetorian Guard, Sakolos, with two deputies, hurried to the door of the imperial study.

Since His Majesty the King personally ordered the cordon to be placed 50 meters away, Sacolos was stopped by the guards before he could approach the Imperial Study.

"Against you, dare to stop me, I am your commander!" was stopped by his own soldiers, and Sakoros was angry and scolded.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Captain, it was an order from His Majesty himself, no one is allowed to approach the Imperial Study, and any important matter can only be reported tomorrow. "The guards at the gate did not budge because of Sakolos's identity.

"Tomorrow, you'll be finished tomorrow!" Sakoros snarled at the guards, repeating again, "See, I'm the Captain of the Praetorian Guard, your sir!"

"I'm very sorry, but Your Majesty's order is directed at anyone, including Your Excellency. "The queen still doesn't give an inch.

"Bastard, can you afford to have an accident?" said Sakoros, who was so angry that he almost drew his sword.

These soldiers were all promoted and trained by him, Sakoros, and he personally taught the rule of "unconditional obedience to orders", but he did not expect that it would now become an obstacle to him.

At this moment, the king's voice came from the imperial study: "Is there anything worth making a big noise about in the middle of the night?" ”

Although it was through a door, the king's voice could still be heard majesticly and calmly, which should rule out the possibility that the king was in danger at this time, and Sakolos's high heart was half relieved. He took a deep breath and said aloud to the imperial study: "Your Majesty, there are two unknown objects flying out of the wing room where the guests are staying, hitting the roof, and they don't know where to go. ”

"I know. In stark contrast to Sakoros's anxiousness, Duris replied in a somewhat lazy, or rather calm, tone.

"But ......"

"Go back to your post. Tell everyone in the palace to stay honest, and whatever is unusual happens tonight, you must turn a blind eye and never intervene, understand?"

"Yes. His Majesty, the minister commanded this. ”

Sakoros, who had returned with his order, was full of doubts, he really couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in his king's gourd. Sakolos is one of the few people who know about the "death knell incident", he knows that tonight is the last day of the deadline, and in less than four hours, the death knell of the end will be sounded, so it can be said that the current Hansar City is facing the same or even more severe destruction than last year's "Tower of Seven Sins" incident, but compared to the tense atmosphere at that time, it is really incomprehensible how calm and relaxed King Duris is at this time. Could it be that Princess Sophia and her companions, who had just returned to Hansar City not long ago, were really so trustworthy?

After Sakolos had walked away, the two men in the study began to talk again.

"Your subordinates look a little nervous. The Vampire Prince continues to command Black's "queen" and invade White's territory.

Indeed, it was undeniable that it was Sakoros who was very worried, not only for his king, not only for the sake of his family who had been placed in the city, but also for the trust he had built up for more than ten years that would be shattered overnight. White's long-hidden "queen" is finally on the move, and her goal is a "bishop" for Black.

"Whether the trust of the subjects will be shattered depends not on the subjects themselves, but on their rulers. The prince put the "queen" in front of the "bishop", and under the cover of the "knight", formed a confrontation with the "queen" of White.

Now on the board, White has 2 fewer main pieces than Black, and if he also fights the most powerful "queen", he will obviously put himself in a more dangerous situation.

Let's get back to the previous topic. As the saying goes, 'red face and bad water', it is not uncommon in history for a country to perish because of a woman, but it is the first time that a country dies because of a man. However, as a different kind of monarch, Duris unexpectedly swapped out the "queen" with Black

"It's not unusual, especially when the country is ruled by women. The prince was not surprised by Duris's move, he knew very well that Duris's seemingly reckless gambling was actually a trumpet for White to blow the horn of counterattack, and the prince smiled slightly, and unhurriedly used the "knight" to slaughter the "queen" of the white side who was not afraid of death: "When Monica Braden was still a yellow-haired girl, the Duchy of Braden had not yet been upgraded to a kingdom, and her father set her a baby to marry the son of the protector of the principality: Calivin Snowton. Monica and Calivan were two children, childhood sweethearts and very affectionate, and in the eyes of all the people of the principality at that time, they were a natural pair of golden boys and girls, if it weren't for the fact that when Calivan was 13 years old, a golden dragon suddenly appeared and took the boy away. ”

"Golden Dragon?" Du Lisi transferred troops on the chessboard, and although the "queen" was sacrificed, the situation was bright and cheerful.

"That's right. After this incident, Monica's father sent almost all the troops in the Principality to look for him, but two years later, he still did not find any clues, and everyone in the Principality thought that the little boy had been eaten by the golden dragon. Unexpectedly, five years later, the little boy reappeared in the capital of the principality, Braidon, and by that time, the little boy had become an 18-year-old sturdy boy, and what was even more incredible was that the golden dragon that had taken him away had become his mount and combat partner. The prince let his "bishop" continue to advance in place of the "queen" who had been redeemed, and although White had already begun to fight back by this time, it was still Black who had the advantage in terms of chess strength.

"Could it be that during these five years, this little boy has become a dragon knight?"

"The number of dragon contractors, also known as dragon knights, is quite scarce, and Califin Snowton is one of them, but his name is not left in the history books. ”

"Interesting. Duris laughed, "Among Sophia's little girl's companions, there is also a contractor, and the object of the contract is the Golden Dragon. ”

Burning church of Somendir.

Two unrestrained pieces fell from the sky, tore through the smoke, ploughed through the flames, and landed precisely beside the tormented thunder. I don't know if it was a conditioned reflex, or if he was guided by an unknown force, Lei, who should have been unable to control his active nerves, actually turned over, opened his bow left and right with both hands, and took the two unknown objects in his hands before they landed.

"Ah...... Woo woo oh ......"

Thunder's throat let out a series of strange screams, and the two things that fell from the sky in his hand were the body of the crimson Blood Pact Dragon Lance and the severed head. I saw a flame rushing out of Thunder's body, enveloping him in an instant, and unlike the flames that engulfed the church around him, this flame that came out of his body was golden. At the same time, the golden flames completely burned the already tattered robe on his body, revealing the set of Blood Pact Dragon Scale Battle Armor underneath that was emitting golden light.

Lei, who turned into a fire man, knelt on the ground with his feet, leaned back, and raised his head to the sky and let out a roar of "Ang", which shook the heavens and the earth, and the bats that had already fled far away, after hearing this roar, landed on the ground or the roof one after another, huddled and trembled.

Even Sophia, who was casting a spell to exorcise the anomalous magic for her companion in the distance, was shocked by the powerful pressure contained in this roar, and her heartbeat increased dramatically. "Ray, you have to hold on, we'll be here in a minute. From this roar, Sophia felt that Ray's body seemed to be suffering a great deal of damage, and he used all his strength to make this roar.

However, the golden flames lasted only a few seconds before returning to nothingness again. The dazzling golden light on Ray's body also faded, and the coercion that shocked his heart and lungs disappeared, but his body did not suffer any damage in the golden flames, but the evil magic in his body was completely burned by the golden flames, and Ray had been rescued from Melissa's torture.

Melissa standing next to her was motionless at the time of this qiē happened, not because she didn't want to intervene, but because she hadn't recovered from the shock in her heart.

It's so familiar!

That's right;

The golden flame is the breath of the dragon;

The roar that shakes the earth is the roar of the dragon;

The feeling that terrifies all things is the power of the dragon!

This familiar scene in front of her made Melissa feel as if she had returned to that time two hundred years ago.

The face of the man back then reappeared in her mind, overlapping with the thunder in front of her.

"Califin, it turned out to be you. Melissa smiled heartily.
