Chapter 249: The Problem (I)
"I'm going to go crazy. I've seen Swart's map. She said almost to herself.
"I've also memorized the location of the Dragon Legion. Robert couldn't get to St. Quest at all.
As for the others who found the Dragon God's Secret Treasure, he didn't know the danger of the Dragon God's Secret Treasure. I had to warn him. ”
"Don't be so willful, my dear. Elistan said mildly. "If Robert can't get to St. Quest safely, how are you going to find him?
Lorana, according to reason, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
"I don't want to make any sense!" Loulana shouted as she stamped her foot and glared angrily at the priest.
"I'm tired of reasoning! I hate this whole war. I know you're right," she said ashamedly. "But I just can't stand idly by, I have to stop the tragedy from happening!"
Although Lolana didn't say it, she had her own considerations.
The human woman, Ella. Where is she? Is it with Robert as in the dream?
Lorana suddenly realized that what was in her mind at this moment was the last image she had seen in the dream before she died—Robert's arms embracing Ella.
At that moment, Sir Swart burst into the room. "Oh!" he was surprised to see Elistan and Lorana. "I'm so sorry, I hope it didn't bother you!"
"It's okay, please come in," Lorana said quickly.
"Thank you!" Swart walked in, carefully closing the door - first to see if there was anyone else in the hallway.
He walked over to the window and joined them. "Actually, I was going to talk to both of you in secret.
I would have sent Wells to you. But it's better that way, no one knows we're here. ”
It's so funny, Lolana thought in disgust.
On her way to Swart Castle, she hears nothing more than political strife within the Order, which is slowly destroying the historic Solanian Knights.
Lolana was shocked to hear Swart relay Stone's trial, and Lolana decided to appear at the Knights' Council to defend Stone. While it was unheard of for a woman to appear in a council, the knights were impressed by the defense of Stone by this beautiful and energetic woman.
Her status as an elven royal family, as well as her exploits in bringing dragon slaying spears, have made her highly rated. ——“。
Even the characters left behind in Drake's camp have a hard time finding her mistakes.
Still, the Knights couldn't reach a consensus. The one who appointed Sir Alfred to act was a die-hard member of the Derek camp;
In the course of the defense, Sir Michael was even more vacillating. Swart was forced to resort to a referendum. The knights asked for an adjournment before a vote.
They are ready to reconvene this afternoon. Apparently, Swart had just returned from this meeting.
Lolana knew from Swart's face that things were going well. But if so, why be so careful?
"Has Stone been forgiven?"
Swart smiled and rubbed his hands. "Not to be forgiven, dear.
That would make one suspect that he was guilty. This will not work. He was acquitted! This is the result of my strong operation. We cannot accept the outcome of forgiveness.
He was officially knighted. His command qualifications have been duly authorized. Derek is in big trouble!"
"I'm happy for Stone. Lolana said lightly, exchanging uneasy glances with Elistan.
As much as she liked Sir Swart, from her experience growing up in the royal family, Stone was nothing more than a pawn in a power struggle.
Swart could hear the coldness in her voice, and his face sank. "Miss Lorana,"
He said more seriously. "I know what you're thinking - you think I'm using Stone as a puppet.
Let's be honest, miss. The Order has split into two factions: Drake's faction and my faction.
We all know what happens when a tree is cut in half – both halves wither and die. The struggle between our two factions must end quickly, or it will end in tragedy.
Now, Elistan and Mademoiselle, because I trust the judgment of both of you, I let you decide for yourselves.
You've got to know me, and you've known Derek Kronga. Who do you choose to lead the Order?"
"You have to be, Sir Swart. Elistan said sincerely. Lolana nodded.
"I agree. This struggle has taken a toll on the Order. I've seen it myself.
Also, from the report I saw from Paranzas, this also made the defenders over there wonder what to do. Either way, my friends are my main concerns. ”
"I understand, and I'm glad to hear you say that. "Because it gives me more confidence to ask them for a great favor." Swart took Lorana's arm.
"I want you to go to Paranzas. ”
"What?!Why??I don't understand what you mean. ”
"Of course you don't understand. Let me explain it to you. Please be seated. Ilistan, you too. I'll pour you some wine—"
"I don't want to drink," Lolana sat down near the window.
"All right," Swart's face grimaced. He put his hand on Rolana's hand.
"Miss, we both understand what politics is all about. So I'm going to put all my pieces in front of you.
Let's say you're willing to go to Paranthas and teach those knights how to use the Dragonslayer. This makes sense, because without Telos, you and the dwarves are the only two people who know how to use the Dragon Slayer.
Let's face it, dwarves can't use dragon slaying spears that long. ”
Swart cleared his throat. "You'll head to Paranthas with the Dragon-Slaying Lance. More importantly, you will take the Council's Innocence Decree with you and restore Stone to his reputation.
This would be a fatal blow to Derek's ambitions. The moment Stone donned the heirloom armor, everyone knew that the Council had my full back.
I should have considered whether Derek would be willing to stand trial when he returned. ”
"But why me?" asked Lolana frankly. "I can teach anyone, like Sir Michael how to use a dragon slayer. He can go to Paranthas with the Dragon-Slaying Lance, or he can bring an edict to Stone—"
"Miss—" Sir Swart whispered to her, holding her hand tighter.
"You still don't understand, I can't trust Sir Michael, I can't even trust any knight!
Drake has been pulled off his horse, you could say that. But he hasn't lost the duel yet.
I need someone I can trust completely! I need someone who sees through Drake's true colors, and I need someone who puts Stone first!"
"I do put Stone's interests first. Lorana said coldly.
"More than the interests of the Order. ”
"Ahh
Think about it, what will happen to him if the Order collapses completely, what will happen to him if Drake takes power?"
Of course, just as Swart had predicted, Lolana finally agreed to go to Paranzas.
As the time for departure drew closer, she began dreaming every night that Robert had arrived after she had left here.
She almost wanted to go back on how many times, but she always thought of having to face Robert and explain to him that she refused to lend a helping hand when Stone needed her most.
It made it difficult for her to make up her mind to change her mind. Secondly, there is another reason for her concern for Stone.
These lonely nights, when she missed Robert so much, she always imagined that he was holding that human woman with black curly hair, big brown eyes, and a narrow smile, and she felt infinite pain.
Even her partner didn't know how to comfort her. Elistan also left, and the elves sent messengers informing him to go to South Atlantis immediately, and he asked for a knight to escort him.
There was no time to say goodbye, and within a day of the messenger's arrival, Elistan and Sir Alfred's son, a serious, serious young man named Douglas, set out for South Atlantis.
Lolana said goodbye to her mentor and felt alone like never before.
Wade also faced a sad parting.
The excitement of the appearance of the dragon slayer made everyone forget that poor Chekov's lifelong volunteer, which was now thousands of pieces lying on the grass.
Except, of course, for the old and wise Aven.
The great dragon god's secret treasure is now reduced to a pile of fragments, which makes all the righteous people who want to fight against the evil Red Dragon Legion feel very desperate.
The only mysterious force capable of fighting the evil dragons has been shattered before it has even begun to play its role, which makes people feel confused.
However, to their less-grieved part, Lolana and the others brought with them dragon slayer spears, which were undoubtedly lethal to the dragons.
The old mage got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the stricken gnome, who was staring blankly at the fragments of the dragon god's secret treasure on the ground.
"Calm down, my good boy. "It's not the end of the world!"
"Isn't it?" Chekov was so sad that he said it again.
"No, of course not! You have to look at it from the right perspective.
Please, you now have the opportunity to study this dragon god's secret treasure thoroughly, inside and out!"
Yi Xiu's eyes lit up. "You're right. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, I bet I can stick them—"
"That's right, that's right," Evan said hurriedly, but Chekov rushed forward with an arrow, and he spoke faster and faster.
Yi Xiu's remarks obviously cannot be established, and the secret treasure of the dragon god cannot be repaired by the usual methods.
It is a great creation of magicians, so it can only be restored by magicians, but unfortunately none of you here have such powerful magical energy.
Evan may try, but there's no guarantee of success.
