Chapter 823: The Queen's Dinner
Although Leo no longer needs to take off his armor and weapons, Kerry Fao still did not directly lead Leo and them to the palace to meet the Ice Queen, but took them to a room in the Ice Sanctuary, let them rest first, and when it was time for dinner, someone would take them to the palace.
Kerry Fao's room is nice, located on the top floor of the Ice Sanctuary, which is just right to look past the idol in front of you and see the panoramic view of the capital city of Dai Lisa.
The entire Ice and Snow Sanctuary is built at a height higher than the Ice and Snow Goddess Statue, the main body is a small mountain with a height of more than 500 meters, the inside of the mountain has been hollowed out, and the construction style is similar to that of the royal palace, and the outer wall is made of bricks and stones dug out of the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a huge city wall, blocking the front of the palace, making anyone who tries to attack here feel desperate.
Naturally, such a tall building could not be built by ordinary construction methods alone, and there were some mysterious powers mixed in the building, and Leo could feel this mysterious power, and knew that these mysterious powers came from each of the cornerstones, or more accurately, the symbols on the cornerstones and walls.
The room on the top floor was also filled with these symbols, and Leo was captivated by these symbols containing mysterious powers when he entered the room.
These symbols are very special, and their combination is very different from the writing method and Turing roots, and they are supposed to be a kind of mysterious writing independent of the Turing roots, like the runes in Lake Town.
"These should be the Ice Runes of the Reynolds. Sylvia also walked up to Leo, and while recording what he saw through the second-brain chip, he explained to Leo: "This is the most difficult kind of writing in the whole small world, there is no pattern in their writing, and there are very few people who can read it, even among the Reynolds, only those priests can understand these runes." However, after the disappearance of the Reynolds, the priests of the Reynolds also disappeared, and now there are probably only two people in the whole world who know the correct use of this rune, one is Leah Venistan, who seems to have obtained the inheritance of the Reynolds priests. The other person was the old man Rembrandt, who had spent three years in the last tribe of the Reynolds in order to study the culture, customs and language of the Reynolds, and had a very good relationship with the last priest of the Reynolds, who was also the old man of Rembrandt before he died, and it is said that the priest also gave some things to the old man Rembrandt. ”
"Are there any Reynolds now?" asked Leo after listening.
"No, at least there are no more true pure-blooded Reynolds," Tessa Mocha also walked over at this time, looked at the runes on the wall, and said, "However, the blood of the Reynolds has now been integrated into the blood of the Derians, and now more than eighty percent of the people in the Deliats have the blood of the Reynolds." ”
Leo wasn't asking anything, he was memorizing the runes as much as he felt Sylvia, because he suspected that they might come from another world as well.
Sylvia quickly recorded the runes in the entire room, and then she ran to the bedroom, lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and called up the runes she had just recorded to recall them seriously, while Leo on the other side memorized the runes earlier than Sylvia, but he didn't end there, but continued to check the runes in other places that could not be seen by the naked eye through the spirit net.
As the number of memory runes increased, Leo found that the shapes of these runes were completely different, and none of them were repeated, which obviously violated the rules of language he knew, and he couldn't figure out the joints for a while.
However, even though he had no idea about the meaning and usage of these runes, he was not discouraged and gave up, but was more interested, as if he regarded them as a game to pass the time.
When it was time for dinner, the court attendants came to the door of the room to take the three of them to the palace to attend the queen's dinner, Leo then took back the spirit net, collected the memory materials into the memory database, followed a simple freshening up, and then followed the court attendants out of the Ice and Snow Sanctuary, walked on the towering rainbow bridge, and entered the royal palace of Dalyat.
The reason why the ancestors of Dalyat chose to dig a mountain to build a palace is not only because the mountain is extremely strong and the location is also very suitable, but also because most of these ancestors came from the Mares Kingdom, and the early architectural form of the Maris Kingdom was mainly to dig mountains to build palaces.
For example, the headquarters of the Church of the Hill Kings is such a hollowed-out mountain, and the first royal palace of the Kingdom of Mares was also built by digging out the mountain.
Therefore, at that time, after hearing about the construction of the royal palace, the first and only plan that came to the minds of the ancestors of most of the Mares Kingdom was to dig a mountain and build a royal palace.
If anyone has ever been to the headquarters of the Holy See of the King of the Hill, then when you come to this royal palace of Dariat, you will find that the two palaces are strikingly similar, and even some of the buildings are located and shaped identically.
For example, the huge corridor they are walking in now is also found in the headquarters of the Holy See of the King of the Hill, both of which have thirty-six stone pillars, each of which has a different shape of the god on it, but one is the idol of the King of the Hill, and the other is the idol of the goddess of ice and snow.
However, after reaching the end of the cloister and coming to the first hall in the palace, they found that the construction and design of this hall had changed to a completely different style, with a large number of intricate decorations connected by twinkling vines, and both the floor and the ceiling were covered with various complex but contrasting patterns, and some precious stones were also inlaid around the patterns, giving people a sense of jealousy and luxury.
"Savile style!" Sylvia said Leo at this time, "I have seen him in the church of the Lord of All Life and Death in Savile. ”
After hearing Sylvia's words, the attendant who led the way in front also led them to a small room on the side of the hall.
By this time, the room had a fire lit, a large amount of food was on the table, and Kerry Fao was seated at the table.
After seeing the three of them enter the house, Clefao motioned for the three of them to sit down, and the three of them found a random place to sit down.
Then, a few more people walked in from the outside under the leadership of the attendants, judging from the clothes of these people, they should be ordinary civilians of Dyriat, after coming in, they saluted Kerry Fao and Leo in a little panic, in their opinion, Leo and the others' dress, and their attitude of being on an equal footing with Kerry Fao, must also be a big man in Dyriat, and there is no harm in acting respectfully.
After meeting these people, Leo and the others understood that it was clear that the Ice Queen had just treated the matter of seeing them as an ordinary daily business.
Immediately after that, a number of nobles, generals, and foreign envoys walked in, and gradually filled the long table.
Once the crew was full, Kerry Fao stood up and tapped his glass to signal everyone to sit quietly, then turned and walked to another door in the room.
After a while, he saw Kerry Fao come out of the door and shout to the crowd: "Lord of the Northern Ice Field, Lord of the Ancestors of Dariath and of the Renos, Destroyer of the Light of Milocas, Doran, Barrick, and Kampro.................. The embodiment of the goddess of ice and snow born in the wind, Her Majesty Leah Vinistan, arrives!"
After announcing a series of names, Kerry Fao stepped aside from the doorway, and bowed respectfully.
Then I heard a crisp sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, and then a majestic woman with the same form as the colossus of the goddess walked through the door.
Not to mention the other party's almost perfect appearance and figure, her height alone is already a little shocking, even Leo, who is tall in the crowd, can only reach her chest compared to the other party, so the moment they see the Ice Queen, those who see the queen for the first time can't help but wonder if the queen has the blood of the legendary giant in her body.
However, the height of the other party is really nothing for Leo, Leo has seen real giants, and compared to the height of hundreds of meters, it is obvious that the height of the Ice Queen is a little insufficient.
But the Ice Queen's height also reminded Leo of one thing, he remembered that a recent black market material about witches recorded that the Ice Queen's height was normal, not as unusual as it is now, and the current height change is likely to have happened recently.
This also reminded Leo of some of the fresco reliefs seen in Arnoor Lund's royal city, in which it is recorded that some people will become extremely powerful and their bodies will become larger after receiving the gifts of the gods, which seems to be somewhat similar to the situation of the Ice Queen now.
When the Ice Queen walked to the main seat, the people around the table had already stood up, and almost simultaneously saluted each other, saying, "I have seen Her Majesty!"
While everyone saluted, Leo, Sylvia, and Tessa Mocha did not make any maverick moves, and also saluted the Snow Queen with the others.
"Sit down, everybody! It's just a very ordinary dinner. Lea Venistan did not act too harshly, and after everyone saluted, she commanded everyone in a gentle tone, and then she looked at Sylvia and Tessa Mocha in particular, and did not say anything, but when her eyes fell on Leo, she couldn't help but smile and teased: "Mr. Leo Dodd, I would like to know how you eat in this situation." ”
In fact, before this, Leo Dodd had already attracted the attention of the people who came to the banquet, because among all the people who were dressed up, he was the only one wearing full body armor and carrying weapons, which made the nobles and commoners of the Dyadat present can't help but guess who the other party is, and can get such special treatment.
And now after the Ice Queen said the other party's name, the confusion in the hearts of everyone present not only did not disappear, but became even more confused, because in their memory, not only did Delliyat not have a big man named Leo Dodd, even other countries did not seem to have it, and the surname Dodd obviously did not look like a surname on the Minsk continent, but like a surname on the side of the French Empire or the Kingdom of England.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Leo was a little more urbane, trying to make his words as appropriate as possible, and said, "No! I don't need to eat." ”
"It's a pity, I wanted to see what the last Tower wizard looked like?" the Ice Queen looked regretful and said with a smile, "However, it's better not to take off your helmet, after all, for my own sake, it's not good to let the whole city faint like Ko Hu happen again." ”
Although the Ice Queen spoke lightly, some well-informed people at the table were terrified when they heard it, and there was a fear in the eyes that looked at Leo.
In the last few days, the fainting of the whole city of Koh has spread to the various cities of Dailiat, and there is an extremely detailed information in the hands of the nobles, but it is not written in those materials why the people of the whole city of Koh suddenly fainted, which has also become an unknown mystery.
Now that everyone knows that the incident of the fainting of the whole city of Kohin was caused by the person in front of him dressed as an ancient knight, and listening to the words of the Ice Queen, it seems that that the person only needs to take off his helmet to cause such an incredible incident, how can this not be terrifying.
And among these people, there are some people who have been in contact with the dark world who know some things about the dark world, and they all think of Leo's other identity mentioned by the Ice Queen at the beginning, the last tower wizard, which makes their eyes shocked, because in the information they obtained, without exception, it was mentioned that the tower wizard is the closest existence to the god in the world.
Leo didn't know why the Ice Queen wanted to reveal her identity and what happened to Ko Yu on such an occasion, but he felt that the other party had other intentions in doing so, but he didn't know what the intention was for the time being.
Therefore, he did not make any response to these words, and just sat quietly in his chair.
The Ice Queen did not continue to pay more attention to him, but turned to Sylvia and Tessa Mocha and said a few words, so that they could ask someone to buy it if they needed it during their stay here, and invited the two of them to wear it in the palace tonight to have a good talk.
Faced with the Ice Queen's invitation, Tessa Mocha didn't know why she didn't want to agree, but Sylvia agreed, so the words of refusal went around her mouth and she swallowed it again.
After that, the Ice Queen did not pay any more attention to the three of them, but talked to the nobles, soldiers, merchants, and commoners separately, mainly to find out from these people the situation of the upper and lower levels of the Lyad, whether the policies she had designated were fully implemented, and so on.
At the end of the meal, everyone else, except for Sylvia and Tessa Mocha, who didn't care about being the Ice Queen, had almost nothing to eat like Leo.
