Chapter 146: A Test
No matter how long the journey is, there is a time to reach the end, and Queen Laura can't tell whether she wants this moment to come sooner or later. After all, when she reaches the end, she will have to face some kind of outcome, whether she likes it or not.
There was a knocking sound in the carriage, and Salmeron removed the soundproofing circle from the car. The voice of the guard came from outside: "Your Majesty, Master Salmeron, we have arrived. ”
Laura opened the curtain again and looked out, her carriage had stopped in a wide clearing, where the canopy above her head was not so dense, the sunlight penetrated through the pores in the leaves, forming dappled light and shadow on the ground, and a beam of light also shone on the window of the queen's carriage, illuminating half of her face, and these rays of light through the dense forest somehow made her mood lighter.
The guards opened the door for Queen Laura, and Salmeron jumped out of the car before helping her down.
Laura found that the open space where the car was parked stretched out with wide steps, and after a dozen steps up, there was a doorway made up of three oval boulders, which was tall and narrow, and seemed to be a lush green behind it.
At this moment, another middle-aged priest came out of the doorway, stood on the top of the steps, and watched them quietly.
Queen Laura thought he would come down to meet them, but the priest looked at them without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, it looks like we're going to have to go up on our own. Salmeron said.
"It doesn't matter, I know what it's like to be a requester. Laura whispered.
She is wearing a tight-fitting swordsman suit today, with a long sword at her waist, her body is exquisite, her figure is good, and she has a youthful vitality. The queen refused the maid's support and took the steps first. Salmeron and seven or eight warriors and mages followed him.
The middle-aged priest's gaze fell on her, watching her step by step up the steps and in front of him. He finally spoke, "Your Majesty Laura, I'm glad you came on time, I'm Felix, the chief priest of this branch hall. ”
"Priest Felix, thank you for arranging this meeting for me. Queen Laura said.
"You don't have to thank me, it's the Golden Bough Priest himself who has taken an interest in you, or rather in the recent changes in the kingdom. Felix smiled and said, "Please come with me to rest first, and I will inform the Golden Bough Priest." ”
"Please lead the way. Queen Laura said.
Priest Felix turned and walked into the huge doorway behind him, and Queen Laura followed him, but there was a cry of surprise behind him. She turned her head to look and saw that many vines had grown between the cracks in the stones, entangled the hands and feet of her subordinates, including Salmeron Mellon, each of whom was bound by seven or eight rattans, and they were all imprisoned in their current positions.
Queen Laura was shocked and angry, she reached out and grabbed the hilt of her sword at her waist, and asked, "Priest Felix, what is going on, why are you attacking my men?"
Felix said: "It's not an attack, it's just a test. The Sage is not something that everyone can see. You are a guest of the Sage, but these people are not, and if they are to get the chance to enter this gate with you, they must show sufficient strength. ”
Queen Laura bit her lip, her chest rising and falling in anger, she knew in her heart that the other party's posture must be deliberate, maybe to teach her a lesson first, let her learn how to maintain a low posture in front of the temple of nature, or it is also a test to see how she will deal with this matter, and how far she will compromise.
Queen Laura drew her longsword and glared at Priest Felix. The other party raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Aren't you going to go in with me?"
"I'm not going to give up on them like that. Laura said, turning around and picking up her fighting spirit to chop through the vines on Salmeron's body. Felix didn't say anything about her actions, just quietly watched her fight Teng Man.
"Your Majesty, please leave me alone, I can break free from this vine by myself. Trust me. Salmeron said. After he said this, the Dou Qi on his body began to boil around his body, and those vines made a crackling sound in his Dou Qi, which was a manifestation of them being burned by the Dou Qi energy.
"Then I'll help the others!" Queen Laura took two steps and rushed towards the other mage. The long sword in her hand slashed at the vine, but it didn't cut the vine, and only cut into less than a third of the depth.
This mage is also a great magician, but his level is quite far from Felix. While struggling to attack the vine with magic, he said: "Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary vine, it is a vine blessed by the blessing of the Nature Temple, released by a great magician like Felix, with your current strength, it is too difficult to cut it, please let us find a way to get rid of this bondage, you can wait patiently for us." ”
"No, I cut in!" said Laura, "as a monarch, I shouldn't back down at this time!"
Laura's realm is limited, but the long sword in her hand is a holy weapon, although she can't exert the true power of this long sword at all, but the sharpness of the long sword itself has helped her a lot. She slashed several swords in a row, and finally cut off a vine. Queen Laura was ruthless, took out a bottle of potion from the storage ring, and poured it into her mouth.
"Your Majesty, what are you drinking?" Salmeron said nervously. He took a closer look at the bottle and shouted, "Is it the Mad Blood Essence? Stop! Stop! This potion that stimulates potential is very harmful to the mind and body! It will also put the consciousness on the verge of losing control, only the berserker with a particularly strong body will use it, you can't drink this potion!"
Queen Laura ignored the shouts of her subordinates, drank the potion, and used her fighting energy to spread it to all parts of her body. Suddenly, I felt a violent force pour into my body. Even she felt that a kind of fury had been instilled in her spirit. She now has an urge to fight, but fortunately, with the blessing of various magic props on her body, she still basically maintains her sanity.
Laura raised her artifact sword in both hands again, and used the power added to her body to slash at the vines.
This time, several vines that trapped the mage were cut off by her sword. The overflowing sword qi even cut through the mage's body, but in this way, the mage was completely liberated.
Laura did the same, sword after sword slashing at the vines on the others.
