At this time, the man dressed as a knight standing next to him spoke with great guilt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His Majesty George glanced at him, remembered who he was, and had gone with Rowling to the Forest of Life, a candidate for the priesthood named Martin.
Did the Holy See hurt Rowling?
Thinking of this, His Majesty George's expression sank, and he said coldly: "Please explain carefully what is going on." ”
"Enough, don't worry about these things that are already in the past!"
Rowling suddenly snorted in an unhappy tone, leaving His Majesty George stunned.
"Yes......" Soon, a trace of confusion flashed on his face, but he didn't continue to ask.
"I called you here this time to let you tell me what happened to this army of the undead that suddenly appeared? On my way back, I saw no less than half a million army of the undead heading towards the Gray Eagle Kingdom. ”
After everyone quieted down, Rowling gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and said lightly.
Hearing this, His Majesty George told everything that had happened since the incident in Herder City, including the fact that the Five Kingdoms had received news from the Holy Empire and formed an alliance ahead of schedule.
"The Demon God has been revived?!"
After hearing this news, the most surprised was Martin, who was the candidate for the priesthood of the heresy Arbitrator, his eyes flashed with crazy battle intent, and he wanted to go to the place of bones immediately to find Andesia desperately.
His Majesty George glanced at him and said lightly: "I know what you are thinking, I advise you not to act rashly, now the Holy Empire and the Holy See have sent all their forces to various parts of the Western Continent to help resist the undead, and the Inquisition is no exception, and even the priesthood has personally taken action." ”
"Did the priest make a move? Could it be Mr. Link......" Martin was startled when he heard the news, but his expression returned to normal.
"I see, it's a ghost thing made by these demon gods who are not willing to be lonely. ”
Rowling said coldly, then stood up, a light breeze blew, and pieces of pitch-black feathers flew in the wind, forming a black feather robe, covering Rowling's bumpy body.
Listening to Rowling's tone, His Majesty George showed a trace of worry in his eyes, and said: "Lord Rowling, if you are injured now, you should rest well, the Gray Eagle Kingdom is currently under attack in many places, and the army can deal with it." ”
"Oh?"
Rowling glanced at him and said mercilessly: "I heard all the sound of your anger just now, are you sure the army can handle it?"
"This ......," His Majesty George grimed.
"Don't worry, my injury won't affect anything. ”
Rowling's face softened slightly, and she said lightly.
"Well, what are you going to do according to Lord Rowling?" His Majesty George could only say helplessly.
"I will go wherever the kingdom suffers the most. Rowling said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, His Majesty George's eyelids jumped, and after being stunned for a moment, he muttered, "It seems that there is only the northern border......
"That's right, I'm going to take Davis' place in the North until all the undead are destroyed. Rowling said slowly with a complicated look in her eyes.
His Majesty George frowned, pondered for a long time, and saw that Rowling's face became more and more impatient, and finally smiled bitterly, nodded and said:
"Well, I can send you to the North, but I have two conditions. ”
Say. Rowling raised an eyebrow.
His Majesty George stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "First, you can't go alone, you must bring Duke Reloz and Mist." ”
"Yes. Rowling simply agreed, anyway, what His Majesty George said about the two people is still passable, and will not become a burden to her, and obeys her words.
Seeing that Rowling agreed, His Majesty George breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out another finger, and said, "Second, Lord Rowling, you must come back alive." ”
When he said this, His Majesty George's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and even Rowling's face couldn't help but become serious with such a look.
She thought for a moment and said slowly, "I can't promise you this, but I can guarantee that I won't die so easily. ”
Hearing this, His Majesty George frowned again and said in a deep voice: "Lord Rowling, if something really happens to you, where will I have the face to go to the first king?"
"If a town is destroyed, you can rebuild it, and if a kingdom is destroyed, you can start again, but if you die, the Gray Eagle Kingdom really ceases to exist. ”
"I can promise you to go to the North, but please think carefully about your importance to the Greyhawk Kingdom, and don't stay willful. ”
With that, His Majesty George turned and left.
"Well, don't mind Lord Rowling, Your Majesty has been having too many troubles lately. ”
Hibiki stayed where he was, seeing that Rowling's face began to change because of George's words, he secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, I know he's doing it for my good, but some things aren't as simple as he thinks. Rowling said lightly.
In her dark eyes, the outline of a figure faintly appeared, revealing a hint of pity.
"Well, I'll pass on this to Your Majesty. Seeing this, Hibiki smiled helplessly, and left with His Majesty George.
"You're not leaving?"
After they left, Rowling stood in place and was silent for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Martin standing stupidly next to him, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and said coldly.
"Oh, then I'm leaving. ”
Martin didn't know why Rowling suddenly lost her temper with her, but after a trip to the Forest of Life together, he had seen this woman deeply... No, the horror of the female demon beast, she didn't dare to talk back at all, and after saying it obediently, she also walked out.
In fact, even if Rowling hadn't chased him, he was ready to leave and return to the Inquisition to learn more about the undead.
After everyone left, Rowling's face suddenly became extremely pale, and her body was unstable, leaning on a pillar beside her.
Ahem......
She coughed violently, and by the time she finished coughing, there was already a pool of red blood on the ground, which was shocking.
Looking at the blood stains on the ground, Rowling's face rarely showed a trace of bitterness, and she leaned on the pillar very weakly, and whispered to herself:
"Sure enough, it wasn't that simple to go straight through the abyss rift, and it almost tossed me to death in one fell swoop. ”
As the words fell, she thought of the man who had named her again, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Even if I can't go in and find you, I'll help you protect everything you cherish......"
After a long time, a sigh slowly sounded.
"Are you worth it? ”
Hearing the voice, Rowling did not show a surprised look, but only shifted her gaze slightly, looking at the man who came out of the shadows.
"You haven't been in love with someone, you won't understand. Rowling glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and said disdainfully.
“...... I am going to comfort you with the wrong tendon. ”
Reloz rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Do you know why you can't beat him?" Rowling said lightly, ignoring him, staring at the empty front.
Hearing this, Reloz became interested and asked, "Why?"
He and Davis are the only two dukes in the Greyhawk Kingdom, and because of this, Reloz has always regarded Davis as his biggest rival in life, and wants to compete with him anywhere.
Finally, one day, Davis was overwhelmed and agreed to Reloz's constant request for a duel, giving Reloz a beating.
And, because of Reloz's own conditions, the loser must hide his strength for the next twenty years, and not expose it.
Reloz has become a waste duke who can only drink heavily in the eyes of the world, which is in stark contrast to Davis, who gradually gained fame and won the title of "God of War in the North".
Of course, if it was just this false name, Reloz wouldn't care about anything, after all, what his true strength was, the real high-level of the kingdom was clear.
But the point is that he challenged Davis for the second time in the time that followed.
And a condition was added very, very deadly.
Those who lose must wear the artifact [Ring of Sorrowful Wind and Sigh].
This thing was obtained by Reloz in the few years of hiding his strength to explore, and the specific effect was not clear to Reloz at the time, only that it could imprison a part of the fighting spirit.
The result afterwards was naturally that Reloz lost again, and he put on the Ring of Sorrowful Sighs, and the result was just as tragic as the name of the artifact.
At that time, the difference in strength between Reloz and Davis was actually not very large, both were the pinnacle of legends, but Davis's White Tiger fighting spirit was slightly stronger than Reloz's Thunder and Lightning fighting spirit.
But since wearing the Ring of Sorrow and Sigh, Reloz's strength has plummeted, from level fifty-nine to level fifty-seven in the first year, and then it has dropped again and again, and finally even fell below the legend and stopped at the peak of transcendence.
Although Reloz felt that his transcendent peak was a little different from the original transcendent peak, but in any case, the transcendent peak was still the transcendent peak, and he was at the transcendent peak, even if Davis stood still and let him play for a day, he would not be injured at all.
In the time that followed, Reloz tried everything he could to take down the Ring of Sorrow's Sighs, but all of them failed.
Over the years, because of this, Reloz has not even had any hope of defeating Davis, and even traveled around the Atlantic every day in order not to see Davis.
But it's one thing to not have hope, it's another to win or not.
And Rowling's words also aroused Reloz's curiosity, and now he doesn't care, what he wants to know is why he always loses when he and Davis are about the same strength.
"Like I just said, you have never had the experience of falling in love with someone, and you have nothing to cherish, to protect. “
"If you are all interested, you will never be able to defeat Davis, who has a firm belief in your heart. ”
Rowling whispered, the smile on Reloz's face fading.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "How do I feel that you are saying that I have no heart and no lungs?"
"Whatever you want. Rowling glanced at him and said lightly.
A complicated look flashed in the depths of Reloz's eyes, and he glanced down at the Ring of Sorrowful Wind Sighs on his arm, and quickly returned to his normal expression.
He smiled and said:
"Let's go, the fog is already waiting outside. ”
"I'd like to experience what it's like to be guarded. ”
