Chapter Seventy-One: The Covenant
Rui's brain roared, the whole world was filled with golden flashes, she felt that her shadow power seemed to be completely expelled from her body, she struggled in panic, she didn't want the shadow power in her body to disappear like this, but the boundless golden light seemed to be endless, completely eliminating all shadows.
"Stop!" Rui shouted, opening her eyes to see the gray granite roof, the crackling of the firewood burning in the fireplace reassuring her, this was at least an ordinary room.
"You're awake! The Great Sage is really accurate. A maid came through the door, carrying a basin of warm water. "He told me to wait here when you woke up, and then let you go to the hall to meet him. ”
Rui reached into the basin, the water was just right, the most comfortable temperature, she wrung out the towel and wiped her face clean. "What do you mean he counts accurately?"
The maid looked at Rui excitedly, her eyes full of admiration. "I came in just ten minutes ago, and the great sage said that you were about to wake up, and I wouldn't have waited long, as he said. ”
"Really?" Rui put the towel back in the basin. "Thank you, you go out first, I'll go over right away. ”
The maid placed the basin on the stand at the head of the bed and slowly walked backwards out of the room. After Rui and the other maids left, she sat down on the bed, closed her eyes, and tried to channel the shadow magic, to her surprise, the dream did not come true, and she could still feel the surging shadow power surging in her body. Rui exhaled with relief, got out of bed and straightened his hair and clothes in front of the bronze mirror. I remember that the power of light penetrated my whole body, and I was powerless to resist such powerful light magic, and it stands to reason that I would have completely lost the ability to use dark magic again, but why ......?
Puzzled, Rui walked into the hall, King Augusta and the Great Sage were already chatting inside, in addition to them, there were several knights standing on both sides of the hall, behind Augusta, two young men stood upright, one left and one right.
"How does it feel, Ray?" Manfred raised his chin as he tilted his chin in the chair across from him.
"Not bad, at least much better than I thought. Rui smiled at the Great Sage and sat down in his chair. "I thought I would never be able to unleash dark magic again. ”
Manfred smirked. "Remember when I put my hand on your forehead before entering the room? I had a premonition of danger in the room, so I cast a light barrier for you first, so that the light magic I cast in the future would not hurt you, because in the eyes of magic, you were one with it. ”
"Light Enchantment!Combine light magic and enchantment magic into one!" Rui looked at the old sage in disbelief.
Manfred didn't pay much attention, but waved his hand a little embarrassed. "Little, little, it's time to get to know the king of Tempe, Augusta. With that, the Great Sage's gaze turned to the king on the throne.
Rui then realized that the true appearance of King Tempe was completely different from the previous sluggish image, Augusta's face was angular, and his dark green eyes were as sharp as an eagle. "You're the mage who saved me from evil magic with the Great Sage, what's your name?"
Rui stood up respectfully and curtched slightly. "Your Majesty, you can call me Rui, I'm from Sarah. ”
"Sarah...... I regret Sarah's demise, Rui, please receive my remembrance. Augusta motioned for Rui to sit down. "Behind me are the two princes of Tampe, this is Lucian. The king's face turned to the right and then to the left. "This is Taquin, he's a little bit younger. ”
"Your Royal Highness, it is an honour to meet you here. Rui bowed respectfully before sitting back in his chair.
"It is my pleasure to know you, beautiful lady. "The eldest prince Lucien bowed very politely in return. "Your beauty makes the snow of Deluth look pale. ”
Tarquin, who was standing on the other side, shook his head helplessly. "It is a pleasure to meet you, beautiful and brave lady, my brother is like this, he is always carried away when he sees beautiful women, and I beg your pardon. ”
Rui was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything at all, but Lucian's burning gaze made her unable to continue looking in the direction of the king, so she had to turn her gaze to the great sage opposite.
Manfred looked calmly at the majestic king. "Your Majesty, do you agree with my proposal just now?"
Augusta's stern face seemed to never have a second expression. "Allow me to repeat your proposal, Great Sage, firstly, that Tempe must immediately cease his threats to the surrounding kingdoms, especially with Canrito, secondly, form an alliance with Doyle and Cumberland, and send troops to support Doyle's war on the northern border, and finally, ......" The king paused, raising his chin slightly. "In the joint operation against the dark tide, you want me to obey Sigmund's arrangement. ”
"Very accurately, Your Majesty, without the slightest mistake or misunderstanding. Manfred's beard twitched, but his eyes remained calm.
"Great Sage, I am grateful that you have come all the way to Delus, and even more so for saving me from magic. With that, the king nodded slightly to Ruiya. "Thank you as well, beautiful lady. Rui raised his eyebrows in flattery, and then the king looked at Manfred again. "I didn't realize that I had been controlled for so long, my two princes were estranged from me, and my ministers were worried about the fate of the kingdom, and I am sure that during this time I must have made many bad decisions and been used by the Twilight Cult. ”
"I'm afraid so, Your Majesty. Manfred nodded, his voice softening. "According to what the ministers said earlier, it is very likely that you sent soldiers to the Westwood Forest to look for the Hallows, and it is very likely that the Twilight Sect controlled your order, and we have a group of people who have also gone to the same place, and I am afraid that they have already clashed. ”
"You're right, but I've given the order to withdraw them all, hoping that no harm will be done to your people. Augusta bowed his head apologetically, but then lifted it up again, his resolute face like a rock. "Now that I am no longer controlled by evil people, it is time to move in the right direction with Tempe, in my world, Tempe can be defeated, he can perish, but he must not give in to anyone"
Rui looked at the king's unquestioning face in surprise, and then looked at Manfred in confusion, and the great sage narrowed his eyes and stared at the king carefully.
Augusta didn't care about their reactions, and continued, "Just yesterday, you rescued me, and you saved Tempe, and you risked your life to pull me back into the light from the endless shadows, and you have done so much for me, what should I do for you?" the king clenched his fists and held them flat on the armrests. "Tempe will no longer be a threat to its neighbors, the elite army will rush to Doyle's northern border to defend the people of Wallis against the threat from the Dark Tide, and finally, in the war with the Dark Tide, I will temporarily follow the instructions of Sigmund, the Grand Lord of Cumberland, and as long as his decision is correct, I will spare no effort to carry it out!"
Manfred's frown suddenly relaxed, Rui let out a long breath, and leaned back in his chair with difficulty, Augusta just said that she was exhausted, this feeling of oppression can be said to be innate.
The Great Sage stood up, his beard trembling with his body. "Today, Wallis's anti-Gloom Alliance has finally been established! Defeating Gloom is no longer an unattainable luxury, and we can finally fight against Gloody!"
Augusta looked at the Great Sage with a full face, and nodded vigorously.
