Chapter 115: Mother of Light
The Sun Fort was always close at hand, but the road turned to the other side, forcing them to distance themselves again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The advantage of this is that if someone can break through the fifty-foot wall, they will not be able to reach the Sun Fort quickly, so that the lord can take the opportunity to evacuate. Kane sat down in the saddle and said, "Although, no army in this world can break through Sunlight City. ”
So, they kept going around and around, and the team of nearly 1,000 people still caused quite a stir. The people of the sun stopped to watch, either in the streets or on the delicate balconies. They were the fairest race of Sumerians, preferring linen and cotton, and in Kenny's eyes, they were all lords and nobles: even the women who sold vegetables on the street wore at least one or two ornaments, and the men wore countless rings on their fingers. Compared to the Nikko people, we are simply insanely poor. He thought.
Using his memory, Kane led Kenny and his party through a massive arcade street, where the lords of the realm stood on white stone pillars twice the size of a human being. They then pass through a marketplace where the procession encounters a jam, where Kenny sees a dense forest of trees and flowers growing on the platforms above the shops along the street, and a wide variety of shops in the endless line that seem to encompass all that the Namu god and humans have created.
When the patrol guards arrived to evacuate, it also took them half an hour to get out of the bazaar. On duty today was a middle-aged knight with two mustaches, and he suggested that Kane hand over the army to him for the time being. Kane complied, and the middle-aged knight led him, Kenny, and their own soldiers to Castle Sun.
The Sun Castle is far bigger, grander, and more luxurious than Kenny had expected.
Through the narrow high windows of the throne room of the main fort, the warm sun fills the golden marble floor, and the walls are hung with sun coats of arms carved in gold, matching the turquoise and tan stone walls. The guards stood at both ends of the hall, wearing golden cloaks and sun-patterned half-helmets, and nearly ten knights in sword armor were on either side of the staircase leading to the throne, and the courtiers lined up in the corridor. But they stood at the foot of the steps in tattered clothes and like beggars.
Kenny then discovers that the Nikko people are not all pleasant, they also have a strict and solemn side. At least, that's the case with all the people in the Sun Castle.
Kane didn't squint, his eyes fixed on the golden throne on the steps. "Hey, man," he whispered, "how much gold did you say that chair would cost if we could move it—"
- They're going to take your head away too. Kenny whispered as he pointed his chin at the knight standing on either side of the steps.
As the two spoke, an old man dressed in a white robe and wearing a necklace made of several gems around his neck quietly walked from the side steps to the throne. He stood a few feet away from the throne, folded his hands on his abdomen, cleared his throat, raised his head and said loudly, "Acting Lord of Sunshine City, Biological Mother of the Lightbearer, listen to your words-"
After the old man finished singing, the knights on both sides of the steps turned to the throne, and everyone in the hall knelt down.
Kane did as the locals did, nodding to the ground on one knee, and then reached out and tugged at the corner of Kenny's shirt, but the latter still stood abruptly in the center of the hall, which attracted a lot of angry eyes. "Kneel, stranger, this is the Sun King's Palace!" said the old man standing by the throne.
At the same time, a woman dressed in a fine costume walked slowly to the old man's side. Instead of sitting on the throne, she looked in amazement at the two strangers at the bottom of the stairs—one of them.
"Outlander, my lingua franca—"
"Lord Kenny?" the woman immediately lifted the heavy hem of her skirt, and the old man beside her hurriedly helped her. Everyone in the hall looked up and watched as their acting lord descended the stone steps to the ragged stranger and looked up at him.
"Alan has been looking for you for a long time. A hint of surprise appeared in the corner of Kenny's eyes, "Why are you here?Seminary?Priest?Lord?Mother of the Lightbearer?Tell me, who are you?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's change places. The woman turned to the old man, "Bachelor, I'll leave it to you." She smiled at Kenny, her purple eyes full of surprise.
The place where Shelley spoke easily was a restaurant with a hearty breakfast. A long table large enough for thirty people was placed in the middle of the room, with polished marble floors on the floor, gold woven tapestries hanging from the walls, and lifelike hunting paintings, and the sun shining warmly on the tablecloth through the high windows, on which were placed four 'beggars' delicacies that the 'beggars' could never have dreamed of.
“..... After that, I met Kane Irene, and then I came to your territory. Kenny quipped as he chewed on the honey-coated roast lamb, "Why didn't you say goodbye?"
"You mean, you witnessed the death of Lord Jefferson?" Kane's question came with some abruptness.
'It was an accident, Kane. Kenny shrugged and put the lamb in his mouth, "I don't know ..... old man"
"He's dead, Kane Irene. Shelley interrupted, "I wanted to take the child and get away from Sunshine City, but ..... Maybe that's fate. The Synastery and the Council found Nipur and made an exception to use the Undead, Jefferson's most hated sorcery, and it was at the execution ground that you remember, I was taken there. ”
"So ..... kid"
"It's his. Shelley admitted, "I am Jefferson's seventh wife, and the only one still alive." Until then, whenever his wife became pregnant, she would die a mysterious death, and no one could explain why, not even the priests of the Temple of Light. Jefferson was nearly fifty years old when he married me, and when I told him I was pregnant, I saw only horror on his face. After that, he insisted on stepping down as lord despite the opposition of the council and the seminary, and then left Nikko City with me....."
"Because of the witchcraft of the undead?"
"Maybe it is, maybe not, I don't know, he's gone. Shelley smiled bitterly.
"It's good that you're safe, and Alan will be happy if he knows. Kenny was relieved.
"Alan?" the sadness on Shelley's face vanished instantly, "You didn't hear from him?"
"Letter?" Kenny swallowed the lamb in his mouth, blinking blankly, "What letter? have you seen them?"
"Yes, and Captain Sercy, who just came to Daylight City not long ago. ”
"What about them?" said Kenny.
"They met your buddy Mike, and your wife. "But not long ago, they were besieged by the Flame Legion, and it seems that the cause was a child named Linde." ”
"Linde?" Kane leaned forward, looking at Shelley with his mouth wide open.
"yes, it seems to be the name. Shelley looked down at Kane, then lifted it up again, "After the jail, they escaped, but your friend Mike was trapped in your city. ”
"The two of them went to your?"
"No, they borrowed 10,000 soldiers from me. "Three days ago, I left for your. ”
