Chapter Eighty-Seven: Return to the Imperial Capital
"Thank you so much, Francis!" Hawke looked excitedly at the ghost fire in Dees's hand, it was great that Pal was still alive.
Dice stretched out his hand and threw it, and the two ghostly fires quickly floated down the mountain. "Their souls will fly back into their bodies, don't worry!"
"Francis, there's one more thing for you!" Hawke looked at Francis, a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, Lord Hawke just said it!"
"Cut!" Dis snorted very unpleasantly, what kind of ability does that guy have to make the young master call him sir.
"Those withering flowers, your bodyguard Dismask snatched them all!I wonder if I can?" Hawk was a little embarrassed, Francis might be his own junior in the future.
"Dies, you snatched all those flowers!" asked Francis, looking at Dies.
"Well, they had already put away the space ring at that time, and I had no choice but to take the ring away!"
"I remember I said that I would find the flowers myself, and I don't need you to do it!" Francis didn't believe Dies's nonsense, he must have seen a lot of people and went to join in the fun.
"I'm also doing this for the good of the young master!"
"Alright, alright! I don't blame you! Give me the ring, if it's a flower, it's no problem! I've found a few on the mountain, enough for the task. Francis shook his head, and said that I must pick it myself, otherwise it will be useless for you to get more!
"What, in vain!" said Dees, pulling out the ring from his robe and handing it to Francis.
"Thank you very much!" the elf took the ring from Francis's hand and bowed to Francis twice.
Francis looked at Hawke strangely, isn't the ring you wanted?
Hawke shook his head, "If the elves want, we Caesar can only offer it with both hands!" For Caesar, the withering flower is not important, defeating the two god ranks of Osman and Carter is the key!"
"I see!" Francis sighed, no matter where it is, only those with big fists have the right to speak! The three empires planned a year-long battle, and the fight was dark, and the elves said that they wanted it, but they didn't have to send it obediently.
"Francis!
"Lord Hawke!" Rand and the two also chased after him, seeing Rand panting, such a mountain road was really embarrassing for him.
Rand and Ed looked at the people on the field in surprise, Dies's holy clothes were too ostentatious, no matter where they were placed, they could immediately attract the attention of others, and the elves on one side were ignored by the two of them.
"Then let's go down the mountain!" said Hawke, who was still worried about Parr.
"Francis, that's your servant!" Rand asked, pointing to Dees on the way down.
"yes, yes! What's wrong?"
"Why is he here?" Rand was strange that he hadn't seen him all the way!
"Rand, pay attention to your tone, add the word "adult!" Mr. Dismask is a god-level powerhouse!!" Hawke said as he walked ahead and turned around.
"What!" Randt glared in surprise, it turned out to be... Thinking of the fact that he and Francis had been side by side for a month before, and Dies's respect for Francis, Rand was incredulous. Ed and Randy Grace also looked back and forth on Francis and Dees in surprise, and Francis actually had a god-level guard.
"That's right, this Mr. Dismask is at the bottom of the mountain with one enemy against seven, against seven gods! Defeat two, repel two! Only Mr. Hawke and I still have the strength to fight. Dillut followed Hawke and said, the strong should be respected.
"One against seven!!Francis, you—" Rand smiled wryly, with such a strong guard, Francis didn't even say a word.
"Francis, your other bodyguard, is he also a god rank?" Ed suddenly thought of Aeolos beside Francis, remembering that he had seen him make a move before, and that unfathomable strength was definitely not as simple as the Holy Order! Hawke heard Ed's words and focused on Francis, what is the origin of it, there are so many strong people around him! Even the emperor of Caesar will not follow a god rank all day long!
"Aiolos, no, Aiolos is just a holy order!" Francis waved his hand, Aiolos's current small universe seems to have reached a bottleneck! According to him, what he needs now is an opportunity, just like the breakthrough between life and death last time for Dieth, he needs an opportunity that can help him reach his seventh sense!
"Roar!" Just as the crowd was walking down the mountain, the roar of a wild beast came from ahead.
"It's Parl!he's supposed to smell us!" Hawke said excitedly, listening to Parr's angry voice, Hawke was sure he was fine.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" In addition to Parr in human form, there were two other elves who appeared in front of everyone.
"Captain!" the two elves saw Dyrud and Diess standing together, and immediately became alert.
"Hawk!" Parr also looked nervously at Dies, he didn't want to go to the dark underworld again.
"Parr, it's all right! Don't be nervous!"
"Allow us to take our leave!" Dyrud greeted Francis and Hawke, and began to talk to the other two elves, ready to leave.
"Mr. Francis!" Dyrud spoke with the other two elves for a while, then returned to Francis.
"Anything else?" Francis looked at Dillut, who had turned back again, weren't they about to leave?
"Please take this!" said Dillut, pulling a leaf from his sleeve and handing it to Francis.
"What is this?" Francis looked at the leaves in his hand, and when he looked closely, he realized that this was actually a delicately crafted ornament.
"This is a symbol of friendship between the elves, with it, you will be warmly welcomed by our elves when you come to the dark forest in the future!" said Dyrud solemnly, the dark forest is forbidden for humans to enter and leave, because greedy humans will always put ** on the elves.
"Oh, then I'll take it!" Francis looked at the trinket in his hand. The workmanship of the ornaments is very realistic, and the leaves are full of life, which is the unique wood magic of the elves!
"I beg your pardon for leaving, the people are still waiting for us!" said Dillut and left with the two elves, who seemed to be in a hurry!
"Does Lord Hawke know what these elves are doing with the withering flowers?" Francis looked at the elves who were leaving in a hurry, what could make the humble and polite elves so flustered.
"Flowers of Withering!As far as I know, they don't seem to be useful except for a few alchemy!" Parr stood beside Hawke, still looking at Diess cautiously. Just now, Hawke had explained to him the relationship between Francis and Dis, but in Parr's opinion, this is a very dangerous existence for both master and servant, and if you can, stay away as much as possible!
"Well, I've seen in the library of the palace that the withering flower also has the ability to put creatures to deep sleep! If a person eats it, it will immediately fall into a deep sleep and the body will stop its life cycle!" said Randy Grace, holding Grey, whom she had found out a few days before she received the mission.
"Won't you wake up again, I mean people will sleep forever if they eat it?" Rand thought for a moment, but couldn't guess what the elves wanted so many withered flowers for?
"Not really, the more powerful the person, the shorter the sleep time!"
"Let's go! You don't need to worry about these things! Let's go down the mountain first, and we'll clean up Yanjing, you guys are too nonsense! Be careful the next time you take on a mission, this kind of mission is too dangerous for you!"
"But we didn't expect that to happen!"
"The three empires gathered, eight god ranks! I didn't expect elves to emerge, there is no one victor in the three empires this year!" Hawke shook his head, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, it was really unexpected.
"Your Excellency!" As Francis and the others followed Hawke back to the dilapidated camp, a spy appeared in front of Hawke.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, the urgent letter from Yanjing, 100,000 urgent!" The spy took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hawke!
"Well, this is ......" Hawke opened the letter and looked at it twice, his brows furrowed, what a big deal!
"Master, has something happened?" asked Randy Grace nervously, and Rand also looked at Hawke, is something wrong?
"Five days ago, the orcs sent troops to attack the kingdom of Dilis on the east side of Caesar! The military strength of the kingdom of Dilis has been dealt a heavy blow, and now it is in danger! Some principalities have fallen, and Dilis has formed a three-kingdom alliance with the kingdom of Locke in the south, as well as Caesar's neighbor Kingdom of Jesha to face the orc army together! Now the kingdom of Jesha is asking Caesar for help and asking for reinforcements!" Hawke's heart sank, is the orc war about to break out again?
"What?"
“!”
"Isn't the Triple Alliance still able to resist the orc army?" asked Francis, frowning.
"It's not an opponent at all, it seems that they can't break through the Ottoman Empire's defense, and now they have the idea of those small countries!" Hawke slowly analyzed the orc's thoughts. "It seems that Your Majesty is preparing to send troops!"
"Hmph!" Randy Grace snorted suddenly, for no reason, and Rand shrugged his shoulders as well.
Hawke glanced at Randygris and shook his head with a smile. "Locke and Dilis can be left alone, but Jesha is the last barrier between Caesar and the orcs, and His Majesty will not allow Caesar to border with the orc alliance!"
"Even if it's a war, it has to be resolved on someone else's territory, and the war can't burn Caesar, right?" Francis looked at Hawke and said, this is the helplessness of a small country, others sent troops to fight in the dark on his territory, and he was still grateful to Dade.
"Well, as Caesar's emperor, His Majesty can only choose to do this!" Hawke glanced at Randy Grace and whispered to Francis: "You don't know yet, right! Actually, the queen of the Kingdom of Jesha was His Majesty's confidante when he was young! The Kingdom of Jesha is a country of queenship, if it weren't for the fact that there was only one princess in the Kingdom of Jesha, she would be in Caesar's palace now!"
"Oh, so it is!" Francis did not expect to have such a secret. When I was chatting with Ed a few days ago, I found out that Randy Grace was a princess born to the queen. In this case, no wonder Randy Grace reacted so much just now!
