Chapter 124: Opportunity
The Holy Palace.
In the hall of the main hall.
The Holy Emperor sat in the center, and the Holy Maiden Irene stood to the side.
In the hall, four chairs are arranged in two rows.
And the four people sitting on this chair are all old men with white hair.
The four old men were dressed in white robes, and the golden holy cross on their chests was very dazzling.
Even a three-year-old child knew what this costume meant on this dark road, and they all knew that these four old men were definitely not ordinary cardinal archbishops.
The faces of the four of them were solemn, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and the holy aura that was faintly emanating from their bodies added a bit of sacredness and solemnity to the entire hall.
Seeing that the four of them didn't say a word, the Holy Emperor was silent.
After a long silence, she finally let out a long sigh.
"Four Archbishops, if you have any opinions, please ask. No matter what rude words you say, I will not blame you today. ”
Hearing this, the four remained silent.
It's just that in their eyes, they seem to have set off a slight wave.
Seeing the four of them like this, Erin bit her lip slightly.
She raised her eyes to look at the Holy Emperor, and then spoke,
"Teacher, forget it. ”
Shaking her head slowly, Erin looked determined.
"All in all, I'm going to tear up this engagement anyway. No matter who dissuades me, I will not change the slightest. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Holy Emperor frowned slightly.
Her watery gaze swept over the slightly blue faces of the four Archbishops in the Holy Clothes, and her mood gradually became heavy.
"Looks like the four bishops are going to disagree, Archbishop Rex, don't you think?"
The Holy Emperor asked, and Archbishop Rex had to answer.
The three of the Archbishops in the Holy Clothes moved slightly, and they all turned their heads to look at Archbishop Rex, who was sitting at the front of the left-hand seat.
Feeling the gaze of the three of them, Archbishop Rex remained unmoved.
I saw him squint his eyes slightly, and then said leisurely,
"Since Her Highness has already made a decision, why bother to ask the opinions of the four of us old fellows again. This Empire of Light is the Empire of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Maiden, and we will obey the orders. ”
Seeing the usually kind and kind Archbishop Rex speak like this, Erin's heart ached slightly.
If you want to say that the best relationship with him among the four archbishops in holy clothes is the Archbishop Rex, who is in charge of the mirror of the gods, because he and the little princess Sophia, he raised it single-handedly.
Erin's face moved, and her eyes were full of tenderness and guilt.
"Uncle Rex ......"
"Lord Irene. ”
Rex stood up, then bowed.
"Don't dare to be an old man, it's better for you to call me Archbishop Rex. ”
Seeing Rex's cold attitude, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but sigh.
She looked at poor Erin and shook her head slowly.
Slowly tightening her fists, Erin slowly walked in front of Rex.
"Uncle Rex, Sophia and I have been seen by you since childhood, you treat me like your own daughter, and I have always treated you as an uncle. I know you're angry this time I'm arrogating you, and I know that what you're trying to do is for the sake of the people of the Great God of Light, but I'm ......"
Before she could finish speaking, two lines of crystal tears slid down her beautiful cheeks.
"But I really can't do it......"
Seeing Erin crying, Archbishop Rex's heart seemed to be rubbed hard.
He frowned tightly, holding back the softness of his heart.
"Holy Maiden, you are the future of the empire, the messenger of the great god of light, everything you do not belong to you, please also think about the people of the empire. ”
Ruthless, Rex said loudly,
"If Gabriel hadn't been injured, and if the Knights of the Round Table had been at their peak, we would have supported your decision, even if we hadn't obtained the full Halberd of Adema. But have you ever thought about it, tearing up the marriage contract at this time is tantamount to declaring war head-on. Now, if we start a national war, what is our chance of winning?"
"I know, and I know. ”
Erin sobbed slightly, looking at Archbishop Rex with teary eyes.
"But I just can't do it......"
Irene, who was raining pear blossoms, made the hard defense line built in Archbishop Rex's heart collapse in an instant.
He looked at this girl who had been taught by himself from a young age, and he only felt that his heart was like a knife.
"Erin......
Raising her hand, Rex reached out and wiped the tears from her beautiful face.
"I ......"
Rex's face was soft, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
And Erin saw that Archbishop Rex's face had finally faded from frost, and she only felt a full of grievances gushing out.
"Uncle Rex ......"
Throwing herself into Rex's arms, Erin leaned on Rex's shoulder and cried.
And Archbishop Rex patted Erin gently on the back, his eyes full of pampering and love.
"Alright... Okay......"
He opened his mouth slightly and said softly,
"I know, I know ......"
Archbishop Rex behaved in this way, which already shows that his so-called insistence has collapsed. The other three Bishops looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads and sighed.
They all know that this is a foregone conclusion.
"Alright. ”
The Holy Emperor straightened up, and then spoke,
"So ...... this thing"
Erin gently stepped away from Rex's shoulder, looking into his eyes with teary eyes.
And how could Archbishop Rex stand this, he could only let out a long sigh, and then said slowly,
"We, the Mirror Sanctuary, agreed to the decision of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Maiden, tore up the marriage contract, and from this point on, we will prepare for war with all our might, vowing to sprinkle the Holy Light all over the continent. ”
Hearing Archbishop Rex's decision, the other three archbishops also stood up.
They bowed to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and then said in unison,
"We, the three domains, have also agreed with His Majesty the Holy Emperor's decision, and vowed to spread the Holy Light throughout the continent. ”
Seeing that the four archbishops all nodded in agreement, the Holy Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
And Erin looked at Archbishop Rex with gratitude in her eyes.
"Alright. ”
Archbishop Rex patted Erin on the shoulder, then sorted out the colors.
I saw that his face was solemn and his tone was extremely solemn.
"In that case, let's look at how to deal with the next situation. ”
Looking at the Holy Emperor, Rex said in a deep voice,
"The first thing we have to solve is how to announce this to the outside world. Because the marriage contract involves the peace agreement, breaking the marriage contract is tantamount to declaring war. ”
Hearing this, Erin shook her head slowly.
"I don't want to start a national war because of my willfulness, is there any way we can avoid it?"
"No way. ”
The Holy Emperor sneered twice.
"Even if we don't start a war, the princes of the Dark Empire won't agree. ”
Squinting his eyes slightly, the Holy Emperor said coldly,
"I advocate a static brake, if they tear up the marriage contract and they don't start a national war, if they start a national war immediately, then we have the ability to compete with it, anyway, we have all the conditions for war first, so we can be prepared. ”
Rex nodded.
"Okay, that's it. However, the Demon Emperor has already sent Roy to persuade Erin not to tear up the marriage contract, how should we deal with it? If you refuse directly, I'm afraid it won't be reasonable. ”
The Holy Emperor snorted coldly.
"I've thought about this too, we can't let others say that our Holy Light Church doesn't give us a chance. In a month, our empire's annual martial arts conference will begin, let's let Na Roy participate, if he can come out on top, let's give him a chance to meet Erin, if he can't do it, then don't mention anything. ”
Hearing this, the four Archbishops of the Holy Clothes all nodded approvingly.
"It's a good move, so that people don't say we won't give him a chance. ”
"Anyway, that waste is definitely no match for the young talents of our empire. ”
"Yes, although that guy has become a medical venerable now, but the most of us are medical venerables, and this martial arts competition is a battle power, and he definitely doesn't have the slightest chance to meet His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden. ”
Hearing the discussion of the four people, a sneer hung on the corner of the Holy Emperor's mouth.
"Yes, Roy came this time, I'm afraid he will return in vain. ”
Raising her eyebrows slightly, she said with a slight disdain,
"Count the footsteps, that guy should be in Edinsburg soon. ”
......
"I'll go! What's that?"
Li Yanbei jumped and pointed at the lion-headed and snake-tailed fire-spitting monster in the sky, his face full of excitement.
"A two-headed lion that can fly?"
"That's called the Chimera. ”
Nero wailed, and then looked at Li Yanbei with a look of resentment.
"I said, Lord Deacon, can you be quiet?"
He was embarrassed as he looked around at the civilians who were staring strangely.
Rao was so thick-skinned that he didn't feel that his cheeks had become red.
"You're making such a fuss, it's like we're dirt buns who haven't seen the world. ”
Li Yanbei didn't seem to hear Nero's complaint at all, and still shouted with interest.
"Look, that big guy with a slender neck and a pair of wings, what kind of monster is that?"
Looking at the western dragon pointed at by Li Yanbei, Nero looked up to the sky and sighed.
"That's the dragon knight's dragon. I said, sir, don't you call it anymore, everybody is looking at us. ”
Li Yanbei was already attracted by everything in the main city of Edinsburg, in his opinion, the fifth-level royal city of the Dark Empire was just a big village and town compared to the main city of Edinsburg, which was only fourth-level.
The Empire of Light has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the Empire of Darkness was established hundreds of years ago by the Demon Emperor with the believers of the Dark God, so there are naturally many differences in inheritance and heritage between cities.
It's no wonder that Li Yanbei is so surprised, because everything in this Empire of Light seems so interesting to him.
"I'll go, I'll go!
Li Yanbei stretched out his hand and pointed to the monster with wings that had been one-horned, his face full of surprise and curiosity.
"Look at that big eagle, there's a person sitting on it, it's too windy!"
Looking at the horned eagle beast ride pointed by Li Yanbei, Jester, Nero and Collinder reached out and covered their eyes.
They really don't want to see the appearance of their bosses in their own homes, because this appearance is too embarrassing.
"Hurry up and leave him behind. ”
Jester muttered to the two of them.
"It's as if you don't know him. ”
Nero pursed his lips in disgust.
"Yes, let's go. ”
"It's a shame. ”
