Volume 2 Don't Chapter 45 Dragon's Fang
Solar Calendar October 1729 Lozema
The royal palace of Lozemar was a forbidden place for the common people, and only the royal court and the royal family were allowed to enter and exit it. Thousands of years of history have left a mottled mark on this huge palace, but it still can't hide the ornate carvings and magic that never dimmed when it was built.
As the capital of the former empire, Pamela's royal palace far surpassed other countries in terms of scale and craftsmanship, and even Portnas, the country of craftsmanship, could only be resigned to the second place. Once the crystallization of the highest craftsmanship in the whole continent, the palace can feel a strong sense of awe just by looking at it from a distance, and at night, the wood and stone that has been enchanted will emit a blue light that lasts for the whole night, and the night cannot hide its sparkle.
The palace is divided into four parts: the huge square at the entrance, the front nave, the apse and one side hall on the left and right.
The front hall is entered from the entrance gate through the square, and it is the place where the king and his ministers deliberate.
The apse is the place where the king lives, called the apse, but it is not a palace, it is a very large building complex behind the front hall, and it is also the place where the craftsmen gather the most painstaking efforts, whether it is a garden, a small canal, or a pavilion, a majestic hill, a solemn palace, there are all here, the exquisiteness of the building is indescribable, and the overall area accounts for one-sixth of the entire Lozema.
The side halls have the most extensive functions, they are divided into the left and right sides of the square, the left hall is responsible for receiving foreign guests, and the right hall is the living place of some soldiers stationed in the palace and some of the peripheral attendants.
The huge square is the main place for large magical ceremonies in the palace, so there are often members of the acolytes who draw circles here, and sometimes there are palace attendants who are responsible for wiping the traces left by the old circles, there is almost no shelter here, and Lozema is located in the tropics, and those who pass through it during the day have to go through a trial of fire, and most of the acolytes who work here are punished or ostracized.
At this time, there is a man who is undergoing this trial of fire. He was not dressed in the clothes of the royal family or ministers, but the leather armor that the combatants were accustomed to wearing, because he was a man, so he could not be a crow and a sparrow, and there were no other retinues around him, he could not be a general, and the soldiers wore standard armor, so this man was very special.
His direction was the left side hall, and he walked all the way over, which attracted the curiosity of many attendants, although it was strange, but he was able to come in, and he must have passed the inspection of the guards, so no one stepped forward to ask.
The man had only walked halfway, the sweat on his head fell down like a waterfall, he wanted to reach out and untie his clothes, but he stopped, this is the palace after all, he still has some concerns about doing this, he resisted his impulse, scolded in his mouth, he quickened his pace, hoping to get to the destination quickly, it must be better than now.
It seemed as if he had walked for a century, and finally he arrived, and the door of the side hall never closed, but there stood at the door a woman dressed in black.
"Who?" the crow stepped forward and stopped the man.
"Blue, the leader of the Dragon's Fang, we have an appointment after coming to see the crow. The man wiped the sweat from his head as he spoke.
"Dragon's teeth?" the crow's eyes immediately changed.
"Yes. β
"Wait outside, I'll check first. "The crow turned and walked inside" without formal permission, you can't step in, or you will bear the consequences. β
Blue's feet had already stepped on, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took it back, this is the headquarters of the crows and sparrows, if they don't follow their intentions, they may not even be able to keep the whole corpse, Blue is not the first time to deal with them, he has a deep understanding of these stinky women.
Can't enter the side hall, equal to the eaves are one step away from him, the sun is just shining on his body, Blue can't leave yet, a lot of sweat is dripping down, Blue just begged the crow to come back soon.
But just like that, an hour passed.
The sun is merciless, and so are the crows, there is no response, and occasionally someone walks past him, but no one pays attention to him, and gradually he even becomes confused.
"Come in. A woman's voice, Blue quickly raised her head, it was the crow just now, but it could be seen that the clothes seemed to have changed, although they were also black, but this dress had some white accents.
Blue just walked into the palace, as soon as he entered the inside, the feeling around him was completely different, the heat was not relieved much, but the body was not uncomfortable, if it was the first person to come in, he would definitely think that this was the restoration of the holy word, but blue knew that this was not the holy word, and the kingdom was not qualified to use the holy word, this is
A kind of hallucinatory magic, the effect of the magic is to paralyze the uncomfortable feeling in the body, although the physical condition has not improved, but Bruben can't die, just a little lack of water, he can now turn his brain again, think about the next thing to deal with.
The raven led him all the way to the door of a room and left, it was not the first time he had been here, he was not very nervous, but his body was a little weak, Blue checked his clothes again, and then opened the door.
"Long time no see. Blue smiled kindly.
But the crow queen did not return the smile with a smile: "Sit." She didn't even lift her head, there were a lot of papers piled up on the table, and she was still signing something with a pen.
Across from the table was a chair, on which Blue sat down.
"Sit down. Still keeping her head down, the queen lifted her hand and pointed in the direction to the right, which was a little far from her desk, but there were also neat tables and chairs.
"Good. Blue didn't object, and sat down there with a smile on his face.
But when he sat down, the crow queen still didn't look up, still busy with the work in hand.
"Thatβ" Blue wanted to speak.
"Wait, we'll talk when I'm done with what we're doing. The Raven Queen interrupted him.
"Good. Blue lowered his head.
So a few minutes later
"What's the matter with you, the leader of the Dragon's Fang, coming to me?" the Raven Queen finally stopped after signing the last document on the table, and she sorted the documents aside and looked up at Blue for the first time.
"Queen Crow, I'm here to ask about a few people in my group. Blue smiled and showed his most respectful attitude.
"How many people are going to trouble your head to come in person, and they are looking for me?"
"That's... Some of these people were killed by your sparrows, and one of them is still missing, and he also disappeared in Lozema, and his companions said that he was imprisoned by you, but then disappeared, and I think maybe the crows have some clues. Blue still smiled politely as he said this, even though it was serious.
"I'll ask. The crow queen drew a magic rune in the air, the rune flashed twice, and disappeared "Those people we killed were robbing, so they were executed on the spot by our sparrows, the missing one you mentioned, he escaped from prison, we don't know where he went, and we are also looking for him." The crow queen smiled, "Any more questions?"
"Summarily executed?" Hearing this explanation, Blue's tone was a little excited.
"Don't forget, your Dragon's Tooth is not protected by the Adventurer's Guild in Pamela, this is agreed, you are a free person, not a citizen, so we can choose not to judge and deal directly with your Dragon's Tooth's vicious crimes according to the urgency of the situation at the time. The crow queen's eyes glared, "You want to question the legitimacy of our sparrows?"
"I know" Blue nodded, still without any displeasure, he kept smiling and softened his tone, "I just don't think it's possible for them to commit a crime, let alone a robbery." β
"I have proof. As she spoke, she nodded to the table and sent the image over. With that, a magical image appeared in the center of the room, in which several people were whispering about a sword, and suddenly a sparrow rushed into the middle of several people, and before they could react, she had already cut them to the ground.
"They didn't say robbery, it's just chatting, right?" Blue was a little unconvinced after seeing the scene.
"The robbery was said, but the sound was too small and not recorded clearly, and the sparrows involved did hear it, and there would never be a mistake. β
"You..."
"As for the missing one, he clearly violated the rules of the Colosseum, do you still want to see it?" the crow looked at him without changing his color.
"Then I know, but he's gone now, and not when you were in custody. β
"He escaped from prison, and we don't know where he went. β
"Isn't your magic surveillance all over the city, how can you not find him?"
He escaped from Lozema overnight. We didn't catch up with him. β
"Can you show me a video of him running away?"
A relapse slammed on the table, "Blu, don't go too far, what right do you have to look at our crow's things, don't forget, if it weren't for Modryra's intercession with you Dragon's Fang."
You're a dead man now. β
Blue was shocked and turned pale, he had done his best to show kindness, but the Raven Queen's series of rhetoric, everyone could see that there was a problem, "Raven Queen, after the agreement, I advise my members to behave in Pamela, they will definitely commit much fewer crimes than other adventurers." You disposed of them so casually, and killed them inexplicably, do you really think Dragonfangs will swallow their anger?"
"Do you have proof that we crows and sparrows kill people casually?" "The crow queen jumped in front of Blue, the dagger was already on his neck, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, based on your slander just now, I can kill you right now." The dagger slashed lightly at the neck, and Blue showed no fear.
The two stared at each other, feeling like they had fought with their eyes for hundreds of rounds.
"Of course not," Blue suddenly laughed, "since you think there is no problem with the crow queen, then there is no problem." He stepped back, away from the dagger's threat, "I'll go first, I'm sorry to disturb you." With that, he turned and left the room.
After he left the room, a crow jumped from the roof "Crow queen, why don't you kill him." β
"He's an old fox, he doesn't even have a weapon, and it can't be justified to kill him with a word, and he won't be so easy for us to get the handle. The raven queen sat back in her seat.
"Can't you just kill him? and then falsify evidence? Queen Crow, don't be afraid of him, he's not your opponent. β
"He must have left enough evidence beforehand to prove that he did not have a weapon. As for being afraid?" the crow queen laughed, "how could I be afraid of him." What I'm afraid of is that if we don't put aside the relationship with his death, the whole dragon's tooth will change drastically after his death. β
"Aren't we already at a standoff with the Dragon's Fang, and it's not obvious that they're taking refuge in other countries?"
"Hey" The crow queen looked resentful at this time, "Bribing the king's ministers and opening up the relationship with the attendants, if it weren't for the queen's keenness, he might have inserted people in the queen's maids' group, and the relationship must have stiffened after being caught." However, the total number of Dragon's Tooth accounts for one-fifth of the total number of adventurers' guilds, and if they quit the guild en masse and go to other countries to become mercenaries, this will be a much greater threat to Pamela than it is now. β
"This..."
"Blue is smart after all, and although he has a bad relationship with us, the adventures of the Dragon's Fang in Pamela are not restricted, he still wants to earn a bounty with us, and conversely, as long as he does not die, the Dragon's Fang is not at risk of becoming a power of other countries. The Raven Queen sighed, "The best chance is to kill Blue with a single sword, and then slaughter the entire Dragon's Fang, so that there will be no future trouble." But Moselilla defended them at the time, and under the threat of the entire adventurer's guild, Queen Palinda could only bow her head and sign this agreement with the Dragon's Fang, and in Pamela, the Dragon's Fang's people were not protected in any way. β
"Blue is so powerful, even Modrilla can please move. β
"Isn't that doll in for money, Dragon's Tooth is the number one in the ranks, and the bounty given by the whole group accounts for half of her guild's operating funds. Without the Dragon's Fang, the Adventurer's Guild would also be devastated, so she naturally had to defend them to the death. β
That's the price she pays for wanting to remain neutral. β
"Yes, to get rid of the financial support of the kingdom and think of self-sufficiency, you must put up with the existence of the dragon's fangs, and endure their use of nonsense to complete the entrusted tasks, this is the sad place where Modryla is now, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact she is also a beggar. β
"There's no way around it..."
"Don't worry. The Raven Queen said and closed her eyes, "Before I leave this position, I will definitely find a way to kill Blue and make the dragon's tooth disappear forever." β
"Queen Crow, please let me do my part. The raven said and got down on one knee, "For the Queen, for Pamela." β
"I never doubted your loyalty, did the two grey men pay enough?" the raven queen walked over and helped her up.
"Well, the money has been made up this morning. β
"Then let them go, anyway, they're the ones who got the Dragon's Fang, it doesn't matter. β
"Yes. β
"Did the glowing sword find anything?"
"So the clues all point to Modrilla, and then they all break, I don't know if it's a coincidence or if she's playing on us. β
"Alas, it's really hard to get hold of the information she wants to hide, so withdraw the relevant people, but you still have to keep an eye on it, understand?"
"Yes. β
