Chapter 9:-for-tat

Destiny does not depend on the stars in the sky, but in one's own hands. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a long time ago, he was convinced of this sentence.

Rombido plunged his greatsword deep into the ground, and he had to find a way to enter the bottomless abyss to see if the unicorn had really fallen into it. If it's really that important to Victoria, then what's the point of doing something stupid.

"Lord Guard, dare to ask you what you are doing here?"

There was a dark voice behind him, and Rombido didn't have to turn his head to know who was coming, the current whip officer of the Council of Light, whose position in the council was only that of the Patriarch, one of the ten cardinals, Archbishop Ferdinand.

"I just wanted to go down and see, Lord Whipper. Rombido replied with a nonchalant face.

The corners of Ferdinand's mouth curled slightly: "A person in his right mind would never have thought of such a good idea, to find her pet for a little girl, and to need the Imperial Honorable Chief of Guard at the cost of his life?"

Rombido turned to look at Ferdinand, "If I'm not mistaken, a cardinal who believes in the goddess of light was taunting her mount for being a pet. ”

Ferdinand smiled disdainfully, "I never admitted that pet was the Pony of the Goddess of Light, we all knew it was just a legend. The brute has been here for two years, and every day except eating, drinking, and wandering is wreaking havoc, especially the precious collection of books of the Holy See, which I have caught several times in the library, and if I had found it later, the books that had been handed down for hundreds of years would have become its most delicious pastries. I've reacted many times to the Pope, and if Victoria hadn't been protecting it, this beast would have been banished long ago. ”

"Even so, you can't deny that it is a holy unicorn, that it appeared on earth at the prayers of His Holiness the Pope. ”

"Rest easy, Rombido. Ferdinand smiled: "I have no disrespect for the Pope, but who can tell how this beast came from, he has not shown any visions in the past two years, and he is worse than the horses in the Sunset Pasture." Maybe he's just a little brute who got lost in the light and just happened to bump into the coronation. The holiness of the Goddess is not to be defiled, and there will never be a mount under her command that is so badly behaved. “

Rombido felt that the man in front of him was showing a naked hatred, and if it was just to destroy the scriptures, it should not have made him so strongly directed at an ignorant unicorn, and there were other things he was hiding. He didn't want to delve into it either, he never had a good opinion of Ferdinand. The glittering bramble grass badge on Ferdinand's chest evoked many unpleasant memories of the family. The Thorn Grass family and the Tulip family have always been full of contradictions, in the intertwined power system of the Bright Empire, the two long-established and deep-rooted families often break out into various conflicts, and the most serious time is a bloodshed one hundred and fifty years ago, which almost triggered a war between the families, although it was finally suppressed by the then Bright Emperor Susilo XIV, but the feud between the two families is completely unresolved.

Where tulips bloom, there is no grass. So says the family motto of the Tulip family.

Alas, Rombido sighed inwardly, this is the closest place to the light, but it still can't get rid of the shadow of power.

Ferdinand felt a little happy in his heart when he saw that he was silent, he had tried his best to prevent the Pope from sending the Knights of the Cathar to search, just because he didn't want this unicorn that had made him extremely shameful to be found. Unexpectedly, Victoria asked the captain of the imperial guard to help, but fortunately, there was no result after looking for a month, he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but come over to stimulate the proud son of the tulip family with a few words, it would be better if he could make him give up the search.

Seeing that the purpose of striking Rompido had been achieved, Ferdinand said lightly: "Lord Guard, after a month has passed, and you have been away from the palace for so long, is it more important to find a beast than to protect your majesty's safety? ”

Rombido looked at him and took a deep breath, "Lord Whipper, I don't need you to teach me how to do it. The Tulip family has never broken its word, and since I promised Her Excellency the Holy Maiden to help her find her unicorn, I will not leave until there is no result. ”

Ferdinand laughed: "Stupid, the Tulip family is really a bunch of stubborn madmen." Since you want to continue to be stupid, this bishop will not be accompanied. ”

Seeing Ferdinand turn to leave, Rombido said, "Until the results are in, it's impossible to say who is more stupid between you and me." ”

With a wave of his hand, Ferdinand lifted his red archbishop's robe and turned to leave.

Rombido looked back into the depths of the waterfall, sword in hand, urging his breath to wrap around his body, and he was about to act.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking wind came from far and near at an unimaginable speed, and with a flicker of white light in front of him, a white unicorn with wings on its back fluttered its huge wings and rushed up from the abyss, swept high overhead, and landed on the ground not far away.

It lost its wings and fell to the ground with a slam, its pure white fur covered with droplets of water from the bottom of the waterfall.

Ferdinand's eyes widened before he had gone far, and he couldn't react to the sudden appearance of this guy, when this lazy and greedy beast could fly, and also had the mana to fly up from the bottom of the waterfall, it was unbelievable.

Rombido walked over slowly and said to Li Wangxing, who was lying on the ground panting, "Welcome back." ”
