Chapter 225: Mission
Roland was silent.
To be honest, although Roland did make the decision to join the Holy Court in the first place, it didn't actually contain many ideals. The reason why he did this was just to convince himself that he would give himself a reason to leave Twin Moon City.
However, in the current situation, it seems that even this reason is no longer necessary.
Therefore, the current Roland has long lost the urgency he had when he joined the Holy Court. Plus the presence of that Lord Dingenier...... Roland couldn't imagine what it would be like to be with someone who looked exactly like him all day!
At this time, Dingnonier and Sharon also walked into the cave.
Sharon glanced at the two of them, and his tone was a little cold: "Have you rested?" Let's go. ”
Roland understands a little that he can't. Gray pulled a cloak and draped it over Roland's body, then explained, "Because the two of us didn't report on time, we have missed the meeting time with the new army of the Holy Court. However, it just so happened that the two of them were going to investigate some things on the mainland, so they planned to take us along the way to complete the mission, and then take us back to the Holy Court. ”
Only then did Roland notice that the pure white cloak had a golden pattern on it, the same style as the Dingenniel and the others were wearing. It was the symbol of the Holy Court, and when Roland saw it on the street before, he only felt envious, but now that the cloak was really draped on his body, Roland had a different mood.
"Task? What task? Roland asked.
Dingenier glanced at Roland meaningfully, and said slowly, "It's going to change." ”
Dingenier didn't continue, but Roland sensed the meaning of his words.
Isn't it obvious enough?
From the moment the Holy Court began to recruit mercenaries, Roland was faintly aware of this world, and it seemed that it had begun to get out of control.
Whether it is the giant beasts that broke through the seal in the outer forest, the large-scale appearance of demons in Twin Moon City, or the creatures of the underground barren forest suddenly began to invade Castlevania City on a large scale without warning...... Just the things that Roland himself has experienced show that some things on this continent have begun to get out of control. It's just that what exactly is out of control, and to what extent it is out of control, is not yet known.
"So what's next for the two adults? Where are you going? Gray didn't recognize his life at all, and asked directly.
"Twin Moon City."
"Twin Moon City?" Hearing the name of this place, Roland couldn't help but be shocked.
Dingenier noticed Roland's abnormality and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?" ”
Roland sensed his gaffe, so he had to smile bitterly: "It's nothing...... It's just that something happened to me in Two Moon City before, and I don't have a good reputation. Most of the people in the city knew me, and I was already dead in their eyes. So if the two of us just show up in Two Moon City, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate......"
Listening to Roland's words, Dingennier didn't say anything. He just silently put on his cloak and hat, hiding his true face in the shadows.
Roland also straightened up at this time, and then he took a few steps out, and only then did he see the situation outside the cave.
Underneath is boiling magma, and it is like a bottomless abyss, flickering and dark, making people incomprehensible. Above, there are high cliffs with no end in sight. The surrounding stone walls were piled up with all kinds of bones, stretching for hundreds of miles, some still with flesh and blood, and some with only white bones left.
It turned out that the last time Roland and Rand saw it was just the edge of the top.
"How are we going to get back to it?" Gray asked, apparently he hadn't thought about it at all when he came down.
Sharon glanced at Gray and didn't speak, just circled his fingers and whistled.
About half a minute later, a flying figure appeared not far away. Due to the gloomy environment, Roland could only vaguely see a dark shadow, and then the black shadow suddenly disappeared.
Just when Roland was a little confused about where the black shadow had gone, suddenly a huge figure rushed up from under the cliff in front of him, and crossed a graceful arc!
Roland only felt a sudden light in front of him, and then felt a gust of wind blowing, which made people feel very comfortable.
Next, Roland saw the huge pure white wings! He saw the blue and transparent eyes of the lake, and the faint gentle light that emanated from the surface of his body!
What kind of creature it is, it is impossible to overstate all the good words in the world.
Is this the legendary dragon?
It was only then that Roland realized the true meaning of Dingurnier and the Sheron Dragon Knights, the ability to harness the most powerful beings in the world. And the shock that I brought to my soul when I first saw the dragon is difficult to describe in words.
"Come on!" Without giving Roland more time to sigh, Sharon jumped on the dragon's back at once, and Roland was slightly stunned and followed her up.
Only then did Roland have a chance to take a good look at the dragon. It is quite large, with a head and tail length of about 20 meters and a wingspan of more than 40 meters. The whole body is snow-white and translucent, as if it is radiating light all the time.
Roland glanced at Dingeniel beside him, imagining Dingeniel riding the dragon, and somehow a trace of bitterness rose in his heart: although they were brothers, the fates of the two of them seemed to be destined to be different from the moment they were born.
Dingenil is a dragon knight from a wealthy family, who is admired by thousands of people, and is always bright in front of people. And Roland is just a prisoner with a rough background and spurned by thousands of people. Such a strong contrast is really embarrassing.
Forget it, stop thinking about this nonsense.
Now Roland has also been freed from Catherine's spell. With Augustine, the demon lord by Lante's side, he should not encounter any major danger in the future.
In this way, Roland can also let go of the past and do what he really wants to do.
Now Roland's body is no longer free of the pain of the past, as if he has never encountered those misfortunes. For Roland, it's time to start over. It was like a new lease on life, and it was indescribably beautiful.
As the dragon flew up, Roland vaguely knew the purpose of the Holy Court from the conversation between Dingurnier and Sharon.
The primary duty of the Holy Court is to maintain the balance of the entire continent, and this balance has clearly been broken now. In order to understand the cause of this imbalance, it is first necessary to investigate the source of these events. For example, why did the demons invade Two Moon City in the first place?
Originally, under normal circumstances, when encountering such an unknown incident, the Holy Court would send ordinary investigators to investigate. However, this time the situation is too serious, and the aspects involved are too extensive, involving struggles and contests between different races. The ordinary members of the Holy Court really didn't have the ability to mediate, so they had to let the dragon knight himself take the lead.
Before coming here, Dingenil and Sharon first went to Castlevania and the Barren Forest to investigate the cause of their conflict, and then planned to go to Two Moons to find out the truth about the demonic invasion.
And the passage they passed through at this time, which was full of corpses, full of blood and tears, was not only full of sin, but also a passage between the underground and the human world.
After understanding the general situation, Roland, as a witness of all this, couldn't help but start to seriously think about the reasons for the recent intensive occurrence of these events. But he also knew that he couldn't think of anything at once.
At this moment, the dragon they were riding on suddenly began to exert force, and its speed quickly increased. Roland struggled to keep his balance, only to feel a sudden light in front of him, followed by fresh air, and a patch of green appeared in front of him. By the time Roland realized what had happened, they had landed in a wooded area.
Roland looked at the familiar scene around him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: Isn't this the dense forest in the central park?
While Roland was still stunned, several other people had already put on their capes and hats to reduce their sense of existence, so now they looked like ordinary Saint Court personnel who appeared on the street.
Roland was stunned, and then put his hat on his head, so that his face was completely hidden under the shadow of the wide brim.
