The war between Elry, the country of elves and dwarves, which had been burning for more than three months in the land of the three human lords, came to an abrupt end, not only because the Council of Elry sent an emissary to intervene directly, and strictly ordered Parrington not to continue to attack Skelly's last castle, otherwise Erry's army would directly participate in the war, in fact, Adra, who had fish-people and gunboats, and Parrington, who was armed with a large number of muskets and artillery, were not afraid of the threat of the elves with their force if they really wanted to fight.

The problem was within the army of Spartacus.

Since Lear's disappearance, the Fishmen who received the Siren's orders were no longer directly involved in the war, and they were more faintly vigilant and monitored Spartacus's fleet, and when the news of Lear's rebellion came, Adela immediately lost control of the army and was imprisoned in the barracks, only waiting for the arrival of Spartacus's temple messengers, she would be judged and judged.

The turmoil happened too suddenly and too violently, so sudden that people were caught off guard, so violent that people were frightened, this is not comparable to the rebellion of the princes and generals, the rebellion of the dragon holy son made the already gloomy and bleak continental situation like a thick layer of frost.

Although Asha has not really come yet, all of them have more or less felt some kind of clue from the will of the gods they worship, not long ago, the goddess of life, the goddess of the earth, the goddess of the forest and hunting, the goddess of luck, The high priests of the gods on earth, such as the god of death and even the god of war, Ardis and other gods, received such an oracle, that is, they should no longer be enemies of Spartacus, and just when everyone thought that Lear was about to rise strongly, the news of his rebellion suddenly came, and the mystery was as clear as an abyss, and people did not dare to think about it.

Palrington, who originally planned to ignore the elves' warnings and launch a strong attack to completely drive Skelly and Grote into the sea to swim, stopped the offensive as soon as he heard the news of Lear's rebellion, not only that, but he also expressed his willingness to accept the mediation of the elves, and swore that his ally was only Spartacus, not Lear personally.

It's not despicable, Parrington's Mingzhe is understandable at this time, take 10,000 steps back, his alliance with Lear is indeed based on a deal, Lear helped him unify the Eli human territory, and then he facilitated Lear's dispatch of Tiga to conquer Sandru, and the current situation is that Lear unilaterally abandoned him, so he would not be stupid enough to use his life to endorse this covenant.

What's more, although the three human realms of Eli are all nominally established territories, they have a common belief - the god of war Ardis, without the help of angels, these territories cannot be passed down for hundreds of years under the noses of the elven dwarves, and Lear is not only rebelling against the dragon god, but also scolding the entire alliance of gods, in Parrington's opinion, he must be crazy.

On the twentieth day of the war, the eleventh day of Lear's Declaration of Independence, and the seventh day of Adela's captivity, a huge and friendless ship flying the purple-black dragon flag and the last Hades-class warship to be completed at the same time appeared on the harbor of the border city.

The first four ships were requisitioned by Valenk and Tariq to support the battlefield of Eri a week ago, but a week has passed, not to mention reinforcements, and not even a single larger fish has appeared in the sea area blocked by the fish-people, so it is clear that Valenk did not have the intention of supporting Eri in the first place.

After learning the news, Delo vomited blood again, originally he still hoped that Valenk would really come to Eli to join Adela, and he also summoned Dylan, the great priest of Erie's army, as soon as Valenck docked, he immediately detained all the traitors on the ship for trial, but Valenk played with him, and now not only is the battleship gone, but the priests he planted on the ship are probably also unlucky.

"What about people?"

As soon as the soles of his feet left the heavy slope and stepped on the port ground, Raymond asked Dylan who was waiting on the side of the road with a cold face, because Lear's rebellion involved the fact that the Great Elder Delo had to stay in Spartacus to deal with the aftermath, and also to screen whether there were still remnants of Lear's hearts in the city, so this time he was sent to the border city, not for the purpose of trial, but to bring Adela back to Spartacus, together with Landrig, who went out with Adra, Sylvia, along with Galen and the others, were to be taken back to be judged by the High Priest of Delo himself.

"Already imprisoned in the dungeons of the Border City, each one is held in solitary confinement and guarded by the people of the temple themselves, making sure that they have no access to anyone. Dylan replied respectfully.

"You're doing a great job. Raymond nodded, it is no exaggeration to say that Lear's betrayal is simply a slap in the face of the dragon god, even with these comrades of his, every word he says may have a huge impact on the reputation of the dragon god, although Yasha herself may not care about these ethereal things, but for those of them who have served the faith all their lives, Yasha's holy name is more important than their lives.

"Take me to see it. Raymond commanded, and Dylan immediately led the way.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the closed space through the cramped corridor, the sound of the soles of the feet rubbing against the moss on the stone steps was like a scaly demon gliding on the ground, and the rusty and mottled light holes in disrepair occasionally fell with a piece of light, but it was soon swallowed up by the dark shadows of the dungeon, only the flickering torches on the walls, and the occasional crackling howl or two.

"Ms. Adra, after a few months, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a situation. It was not until the priest who was guarding him that he walked away under his order that Raymond spoke slowly, looking at the woman in the iron fence with thick arms, who could not be said to be a country and a city, but as long as he saw it, he would never forget those clear eyes, and he felt a sigh in his heart for no reason.

A few months ago, they were partners fighting side by side for the great cause of the dragon god, but now one of them has become a prisoner, and the other has become a judge with no sense of accomplishment.

"The world is impermanent. Adela gently swept the hair that had fallen from her sideburns, and in order to prevent her from escaping or mutilating herself, the priests of the temple took away her rings, robes and even all her jewelry, and even put shackles on her in addition to the spell of sealing spiritual power, but fortunately, perhaps knowing that she was a very important person, and she had not been mistreated except for the above actions, so although she looked cold and lonely, it was not miserable.

"Do you have anything to say to me, whether private or personal, rest assured, I am not here to judge you, and your question will be decided by the High Priest of Dro himself when he returns to Spartacus. ”

Speaking of which, Raymond was still a little glad in his heart, if Grand Elder Delo really asked him to judge these people, he really didn't know where to start with the past feelings, and now that he was just escorted, the pressure in his heart would undoubtedly be much easier.

"Whatever you think I'm going to say to you, or what Grand Elder Delo wants me to say, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, don't say that I don't know about this at all, if I knew, do you think I'd stay here and wait for you to come and arrest me?"

There was no sarcasm, no resentment, no reluctance, Adela seemed to be just calmly expounding a fact, as calm as she had been, and this calmness made her more beautiful.

"Hey!"

Raymond let out a heavy sigh suddenly.

"Even if I want to believe that you are innocent, but Grand Elder Delo and Grand Sister Roland will not believe it anyway, not only will they not believe it, but also the comrades of the Blind Brotherhood and the Sisters of Silence will not believe it, after all, you and Lear have been so close in the past, in the past, he was just messing around, for the sake of the dragon god, we will still tolerate him and support him, but this time, what he did is no longer a simple crossing the line can be perfunctory, Lord Sa-Alang has not yet returned from the kingdom of God, so this news has not yet reached the dragon god, just imagine what a terrible consequence if His Majesty the dragon god knew。 ”

"So, what's the point of you telling me this?" Adela said, raising a picturesque brow, a little amused.

"It should be a farewell, according to the old feelings, in the style of the High Priest of Delo, after returning to Spartacus, your best ending is to dry on the gallows, unless you ......"

At this point, Raymond paused, looked into Adela's eyes, and then stopped.

"Unless I'm willing to cooperate with you and set a trap and wait for Lear to come in, so I can prove my innocence, right?" Adela smiled and said what he didn't finish in Raymond's place, but before Raymond could nod or admit it, she said lightly: "You must think too highly of me, if I really am so important to Lear, why didn't he tell me when he did something, if I was really his man, he would have betrayed Spartacus, and I would be stupid to wait here for death?"

"This ......" Raymond, who was originally going to be seduced by Adela, was dumbfounded by Adra's words, but he was a little unwilling to give up like this, so he struggled and said: "Aren't you and him lovers?"

"Huh. Adela just gave a meaningless smile to Raymond's words, "He never really trusted anyone, and never really pinned himself on any emotion, from the first day I met him, what I saw in him was chaos and disorder, the so-called heavy feelings are better than personal likes and dislikes, although he never said where he came from, but that kind of state that is incompatible with the whole world, don't you feel it?"

"So, you're not willing to cooperate?" At this point, Raymond finally tore off the warm disguise he had been wearing, and the light in his eyes became hateful and hideous.

"When did I say I didn't want to?" Adela didn't mind the change in Raymond's attitude, as if she had expected it, and her cheeks, which had been slightly pale from the long loss of light, raised slightly, and asked inexplicably.

"And what the hell do you mean?" Rao is Raymond City Mansion no matter how deep he is, he is also a little annoyed by Adela so tossed and turned, he blushed and screamed like a duck before he died.

"I agree to work with you, but your plans need to be told in detail, and while I don't dare say I know Lear 100%, I think I know a little better than you about what kind of trap can trap him. With a calm expression, still without any flickering eyes like a quiet pool, Raymond stared at Adela for a full minute, unable to determine whether what she said was true or not.

"Why are you doing this?" Raymond asked directly.

"Why?" Adela smiled, "since he was abandoned, then I must find some way to prove my innocence, he once betrayed Spartacus and became famous all over the world, but we people want to lose their innocent lives, if it were you, what do you think?"

"And. Adela took a soft breath, and her pale cheeks seemed to be a little rosy, "He can have no faith, he can despise the gods, but I can't, the Kulan Heights where I live have believed in the goddess of fate for generations, and I left the Kulan and came to the Antaglisi continent because I was guided by the goddess of fate, not only me, Landrig, Sylvia and Galen, they both have a deep fear of the gods in their hearts, we have followed Lear from the beginning, it is precisely because of the reverence and yearning for His Majesty the Dragon God, although I dare not pretend to be more religious than you, but at least as a believer we are humble, Lear's betrayal of Spartacus is not only a betrayal of the Dragon God betrayed you, but also betrayed our expectations, and we, as an outcast, seem to have more reasons for revenge, right?"

No matter from which point of view, there was no flaw in Adela's words, so even though Raymond still had doubts after hearing it, he still frowned deeply and did not question directly.

"I will tell High Priest Delo what to do with your words, there will be results after returning to Spartacus, and before that I hope you can all settle down a little, so that everyone will have a lot less trouble, after all, there is enough trouble. It was a few moments before Raymond said in a deep voice.

"I can't seem to cause anyone any trouble like this. Adela smiled and lifted the heavy shackles between her hands, mottled rust casting a black mark on her tender wrist.

"It's for the best. Raymond replied with a blank face, then turned to leave, and did not seem to have the chivalry to unshackle Adela.

"Elder Raymond. ”

Just as Raymond's back was about to disappear at the end of the dungeon's corridor, Adela's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Anything else? Ms. Adra. ”

Raymond stood still and did not turn back, a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Just wanted to remind you that if you can find someone, you're slightly more likely to succeed. ”
