Chapter 279: The Council of the Holy Court
Fortunately, the boy didn't catch up again, so gradually Roland couldn't see the boy, and Roland was a little relieved.
However, although the young man had left the field of vision of the two, Sharon's expression at this time was still cold. She suddenly stopped and said to Roland very seriously: "You must remember not to have casual contact with that person just now, especially when you are alone." ”
"Why? Who is he? ”
"Rollo, the Holy Inquisitor in the Holy Court, who is second only to the Dragon Knight, is not a simple character. He has always been unruly and unruly, and he has never obeyed the rules and regulations of the Holy Court. But because Luo Luo is outstanding, and we have to ask for him, the current Holy Court can only turn a blind eye to his behavior. In the final analysis, all of this is due to the fact that the Holy Court is now seriously understaffed. Now the situation on the entire continent is complex and changeable, and the things that the Holy Court has to deal with are much more difficult than before. But it is impossible for the dragon knight to do everything by himself, so many things that cannot be done by ordinary personnel of the Holy Court can only be done by relying on him. It's just that he has always been idle, relying on his own ability, and usually likes to be powerful in the Holy Court. And in terms of the current state of the Holy See...... No one really dared to provoke him. The people below can't be messed with, and the dragon knights ...... I don't want to provoke him, so as to make the Holy Court even more withered. ”
"And what happened to him just now?" Roland asked.
Sharon glanced back at Roland, with a slight harshness in his eyes: "Luo Luo usually teases his subordinates and prefers to provoke superiors, including you, of course." There is no shortage of conflicts between you and him on a daily basis. And the discord between the two of you is known to everyone in the Holy Court, and no one is aware of it. Judging from your current situation, if you start a fight with him, you are not an opponent at all, then you are not Dingennier's own business, and you will be exposed to him immediately. Therefore, you must avoid contact with Rollo, after all, Dingeniel is no longer there, and the less people in the Holy Court know about it, the better. ”
After that, Sharon took Roland and continued to walk deeper into the bridge.
After a few more turns, a large stone door finally appeared in front of Roland's eyes.
The stone gate is dozens of meters high, and the whole body is white, which seems to be faintly shining with light, making people feel that their hearts seem to have been cleansed, and they suddenly become calm.
Roland followed Sharon and slowly approached the door. He could feel the cold wind coming through the crack in the door, and before he knew it, there was a little more chill on his body.
At this moment, the door suddenly began to move slowly, and the ghostly light on the other side of the door began to shine through the door. Sharon took a slow step and began to move towards the side of the door. Roland has been following Sharon forward. And every time he walked every step, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated: they were finally going to meet.
Meet the most powerful rulers of the continent.
The inner chamber is large and the temperature is very low, and the whole is made of white stones, giving the appearance of a cylinder. In the center of this circle there is a circle with a slightly smaller radius, and a white mist is emitting from the inside out. On closer inspection, it turned out to be empty underneath, and vaguely seemed to be bottomless. On both sides of the hall are hollowed-out spiraled staircases, all pointing upwards to the same suspended platform, which is emitting a strong dazzling light, and at the same time there are some winding and complex dead branches coiled on it, giving people a very mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
Roland followed Sharon as he snaked up the stairs.
As he got closer to the suspended platform, Roland could faintly hear someone talking. He couldn't help but get a little nervous again: I wonder if they would be willing to accept him? Identify with him......
Roland's heart hadn't yet figured out how to deal with the people on the platform, and the ladder had come to an end. Everything on the platform suddenly became unobstructed for Roland.
Roland could see that there was a huge conference table on this platform, which was different from the solemnity he had imagined before, and the seats around him were of different shapes, which seemed a little casual. There were two old men staying on this platform, and it seemed that they were originally exchanging something.
After seeing Roland and Sharon appear, the two old men stopped talking, and they all turned their eyes to Roland. Roland felt a little hairy in his heart when he was watched.
However, Roland also felt a little surprised in his heart: Could it be that these two old men are dragon knights? That's really a lot worse than Roland imagined. Roland originally thought that most of the dragon knights in the Holy Court should be in the prime of life, but look at these two ...... Doesn't it really look like it? Not only are they old, but some are even too old.
A man with a clumsy body, thinning hair, and a severely wrinkled skin, if he was human, looked to be more than a hundred years old, barely supported by a cane, and seemed to be unable to stand. On the other hand, Roland was a little unsure of his race. His eyes were large, his ears were long, and although he was of normal shape, he didn't look as old as before, but his beard was still completely white. Moreover, the old man was petite, although he looked quite healthy, but he was not a strong physique, and it was really difficult for Roland to associate the two old men in front of him with the dragon knight in his impression.
Just as Roland began to think crankily, the old man with the cane suddenly took a step closer to him and took a closer look at Roland's face. Then, the old man's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes showed a slightly complicated look, and finally his expression showed a hint of loss.
The old man sighed slightly, and said to Sharon, "...... I see, so, Dingenier is no longer there? ”
The old man's words made Roland's heart fluctuate again, it seems that Dingenier's previous situation, they are also clear, and they have already been mentally prepared. The memories that he inadvertently recalled made Roland feel uncomfortable again, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Sharon's expression was calm, but the emotion in her eyes was not deceiving.
"Yes, two days ago, in the outer woods." After a moment of silence, Sharon replied.
"Alas! I can't imagine that our Holy Court will eventually wither like this, and I don't know what the situation will be after this. The white-bearded old man couldn't help sighing, and then looked into the distance with blank eyes, looking like he was thinking heavily, and seemed to be a little dazed.
Sharon glanced at the two old men who were preoccupied, pursed his lips, and then looked at Roland, and introduced: "This is the dragon knight Bright, a human being, the dragon who dominates the truth. It was the dragon knight Hatsurui, from the Forest of Merlin, who controlled the dragon that represented life and knew the mystery of the source of life. As for the one in the tree behind him—"
At this moment, the intricate branches on the platform suddenly began to circle and move, startling Roland. Only then did he realize that there was a face formed by a dead branch buried in the pile of dead branches circling around!
The face began to slowly protrude outward, and became more and more prominent, until finally it turned into a complete human form and walked out of the pile of dead branches! Judging by the size, this guy hiding in the branches is quite hot, and he should be a woman.
"She is the dragon knight Ahbourne, an earth spirit who holds the ancient mysteries of this world since its formation, and is the wisest sage in the world."
At this moment, Roland's thoughts had not yet recovered from the impact brought to him by Ashburn, so his expression remained a little sluggish for a while, and he didn't have time to react.
Ashburne glanced at Roland like this, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Sharon, I told you a long time ago, with his physical condition, he won't be able to continue to toss like this for long. Now, you're the only dragon knight left in the Holy Court who can handle things, what are you going to do? I think you should know very well that Bright, and Chu Rui, and I, can't do things like you. Ashburn's voice was thick and magnetic, and Roland thought she should be a wise, mature woman.
