Chapter 162: People Grow Old
Yin finally knew what her little emotions were, and she also knew that she had committed the biggest taboo of the Shimmering Gold Man. Love is the biggest obstacle that affects the interaction between the hearts of the Twins of the Sparkling Gold People, and once they fall into it, the Sparkling Gold People are no longer the Sparkling Gold People.
Therefore, the Glittering Gold people have instituted the most severe punishment for this taboo as a warning to all their people.
Luke wanted to enlighten the sound, after all, the sound had not yet reached that hopeless point, and the two did not start this forbidden love. There is still room for redemption, as long as this emotion is cut off in time, she is still a shimmering gold person.
But before Luke could speak, the voice turned to smile and said, "Pan promised to help me keep it a secret, and I will also suppress this emotion, and taste it when I think about it."
Won't cause trouble to anyone, even if it's ...... If it is discovered by the elders, it will not affect anyone. ”
Yin didn't say what she wanted to say to Luke, and she didn't know what she would get, after all, the punishment of the Glitter would implicate him. It's better to hide this emotion in your heart and enjoy it alone as before.
Luke didn't know what to say.
"Since this is your decision, I respect you. But no matter what happens later, I'm your best friend. My promise to you is valid at all times, and I will help you solve any trouble that finds you. ”
The burden in Yin's heart seemed to be released in an instant, and his smile became more natural: "Don't talk about this kind of thing that destroys the atmosphere." It's the first time I've seen such a magnificent palace, can you show me around? ”
"Of course, you are the most honored guest of the Golden Shield Empire."
Luke takes Yin on a tour of the palace before taking her to the shimmering quarters.
As soon as she returned to her lodgings, Karina informed that a mysterious old man had been visiting and had been waiting in the lounge for more than two hours.
"He wouldn't tell me his name, but judging by his temperament and demeanor, he seemed to be a big man. And for two hours he sat there motionless, without any sign of impatience. ”
Who is it?
After listening to Karina's description of the visitor's appearance, Luke never guessed the identity of the other party.
But since the other party has been waiting for him for two hours, he has to meet him in a reasonable way.
"Take him to the study on the second floor."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
As soon as Luke came to the study on the second floor and sat down, the old man who visited was brought in by Karina.
With just one glance, Luke knew who he was.
Archangel Gold.
It is the fourteen archangels who manage Sky City, and the archangel Gold is considered to have a relatively high status among the fourteen archangels, and is the main envoy of the angel mission's visit to the Golden Shield Empire.
Now Archangel Gold did not wear an angel's robe, but a popular gentleman's suit, and the angel wings were also hidden, no wonder Karina could not see his angel.
Although Luke recognized Gold's identity, he did not break it.
"You may be seated, mysterious guest. I'm short on time, so you can introduce yourself and explain what the visit is about. ”
"Thank you, Marquis of Meteor......" Gold sat down across from his desk, then took out a cross dagger, and a small crystal bottle hung from the handle of the dagger, and the bottle contained water that emitted holy white light: "I am an exorcist, and when I passed by the neighborhood, I found that there was a strong demonic aura here.
Demons are extremely evil creatures. They will confuse people's minds and slowly devour people's souls. Please let me destroy him and return peace to you. ”
Luke didn't expect a dignified archangel to pretend to be a magic stick with him.
"After the naval battle against Leo, the world knows that there is a demon who is serving his sentence with me. If you've felt the demonic breath in me, you're the unlucky one.
I don't have a demon here for you to exorcise, and if nothing else, I'll have someone send you out. ”
Gold finally saw the meteorite, how could he be driven out in two sentences.
"I've heard rumors about this demon. He was subdued by the Elven Queen of the Sky and punished by detention. But demons are demons, and any of their promises cannot be trusted, and they will do evil whenever they have the chance.
Destroying them is the most correct way. ”
"If you like destroying demons so much, why don't you go to hell? It's full of demons, enough for you to rush into the show. ”
Gold was not annoyed by Luke's taunt, he still said sincerely: "Exorcists are on the mission of redeeming the world, and the demons in hell are not the targets of our hunting as long as they do not harm the world."
Lord Marquis won't let me destroy this demon, is it because of the Queen of the Sunny Sky? You can let me meet the Queen of the Clear Sky, and I trust Her Majesty will follow my advice. ”
Gold's purpose for coming was finally revealed.
Luke smiled and said, "The Queen of the Sunny Sky has been very busy lately. And she'll meet the shepherd elders of the Glittering Gold people first, and then it's your turn...... Archangel Gold. ”
Gold was stunned.
He didn't expect his identity to be easily seen through by the falling star.
"I don't understand...... I have not been in the world for hundreds of years, and I have not come to the city of Holy Grace today to tell anyone who I am or how you recognize me. ”
Luke lifted Erlang's legs, pinched them, and said, "Archangel Gold, don't you look at what I'm doing." The Imperial Intelligence Bureau is engaged in the work of collecting intelligence, if you can't even recognize it, won't I get this salary for nothing? ”
Gold knew that Meteorite was talking nonsense, and no matter how powerful the Golden Shield Empire's secret intelligence bureau was, it would be impossible for him to get the information to Sky City.
"Since the Marquis is unwilling to tell the truth, I won't ask. I came as an ordinary person, and it was a secret visit, and I did not inform the angels who accompanied me, and I asked the Marquis to keep this secret for me. ”
Luke looked at Gold and asked, "Of course it's okay to keep a secret." But why hide it from the angels who walk with you? ”
"This is an internal matter of our Sky City, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. I'm here to see if I can meet Her Majesty the Queen of the Clear Sky alone through your introduction. ”
Luke replied just now: "No! Whoever the Queen of the Clear Sky will see and what she will talk about has already been arranged. Seeing you alone, we have no way to explain to the Shining Gold Man.
After all, the people of Shimmer came with investment, and the angels ......"
Luke is better than silent.
If you have money, you can cut the queue, and if you come empty-handed, just wait for the process honestly!
The Golden Archangel did not give up on this: "Just a private meeting, not a formal meeting. And about Augustine the Great, I think you need our help to hide it too. ”
Faced with the threat, Luke said unhappily: "It is precisely because of the matter of Emperor Augustine that you have the opportunity to enter the palace. Otherwise, if you kill the emperor of the empire, none of you will see it. ”
Gold asked, "Why did we kill Augustine the Great, obviously the sky was clear......"
"The Queen of the Clear Sky only killed a heroic spirit who tried to cause trouble to the empire in the name of Augustine the Great, and at the moment of his physical death, our great emperor died.
If it weren't for the Sword of Oath randomly giving His Majesty a set of Heroic Spirit Armament, His Majesty would definitely not be willing to make his body look like that, and he would have lived for a long time.
Transforming a healthy person into a Heroic Spirit, what is the difference between your approach and the Demon Collecting Souls! ”
In the face of Luke's angry rebuke, the Archangel of Gold was irrefutable.
Although he didn't know the details of the whole process, only from what information he knew, the Sword of Oath did violate the convention of giving a set of heroic spirit weapons to a person whose body was far from the stage of death.
It can be said that it was this set of heroic spirit armaments that prompted Augustine the Great to abandon his body and transform himself into a heroic spirit.
If it is to be held responsible, Sky City has an unshirkable part.
Archangel Gold immediately corrected his mistake: "Our visit to the Golden Shield Empire this time will not involve any disputes within the empire, only to discuss the construction of a sanctuary in the city of St. Lun.
And what we really want to do is ...... I'd like to talk to the Queen of the Sunny Sky about the compensation for the damage to the World Tree of the previous generation. ”
Gold said that he would not talk nonsense in the matter of Augustine the Great, and Luke also accepted it when he saw it, and it would be no good for anyone to be too stiff.
"Yes, let's take care of the internal affairs of the empire. As the first assistant minister of the Moonlight Queen, I am very pleased with the idea that Sky City is willing to compensate for the destruction of the World Tree.
Her Majesty the Clear Sky Queen once said: Asking for compensation is not the purpose of our claim this time, how to use this incident as a warning so that this incident will not happen again is our real intention.
The newborn World Tree is still very weak, and cannot be compared to the former World Tree. We must prevent this from happening before it happens, and we must not allow the tragedy to happen again, because the extinction of the World Tree would be a loss for the whole world. ”
Archangel Gold agreed, "Yes, the World Tree, as the oldest transcendent species, must be closely protected.
If the Moonlight Court agrees to Skycity to build a Sanctuary near the World Tree, Skycity can send angels to protect the Worldtree. ”
Luke knew the true purpose of the angel, and he pretended to refuse: "No, Her Majesty wants to maintain the status quo of the Moonlight Court, and external factors may damage the World Tree.
Especially...... In the ancient wars, all five of your civilizations were involved in the war to destroy the World Tree. The newborn Moonlight Tree King is inherited from the previous World Tree, and the Angels' Sanctuary may cause it to be displeased. ”
Gold knew that the relationship between the Falling Star and the Elven Sky was very deep, and if he wanted to meet the Queen of the Clear Sky, he had to pass this level.
He said to Luke, "As long as the Marquis can make this happen, Sky City will definitely prepare a separate thank you for it." ”
It is said that people become fine when they are old, and angels are also fine when they are old.
Old Gold knows this very well in the secular world!
Luke immediately changed his smile: "I'm not trying to thank you, but I must be cautious in my position." There is not necessarily any benefit to doing it right, but there must be a disadvantage in doing it wrong.
The Queen of the Clear Sky is a fierce war song of the elves, who has dedicated her life to the World Tree, and now she serves as the Queen of the Moonlight, even if I have a very good relationship with her, I can't agree to anything about the World Tree at will.
But...... Angels are the embodiment of justice, even if that war caused damage to the World Tree, it must have been the devil's hand first, and the angels just accidentally injured the innocent. ”
Luke felt no guilt about the blame for the demon.
Archangel Gold said against his will: "Yes, none of us want that to happen, but wars always affect the innocent." We have always had a deep reflection on hurting the World Tree, and now that the World Tree is revived, the angels are trying to protect it to the best of our ability. ”
Luke smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me." The order of formal meetings cannot be changed, and we must not make the people of Sparkling Gold feel neglected.
But I will find a way to arrange a private secret meeting between you and Her Majesty the Queen of the Sunny Sky, and I will do my best to facilitate the construction of a sanctuary in the Moonlight Court.
After all, the tree people who protect the World Tree are still saplings, and having angel protection is more reassuring than anything else. ”
With the promise of the meteorite, the purpose of Archangel Gold's visit this time has been achieved.
He stood up and presented the cross dagger in his hand: "This is a dagger and holy water made by my own hands, and it has a very strong restraining effect on demons. Once again, I remind you that demons cannot be trusted, do not leave them around. ”
Luke took the dagger and holy water, and the weight was no less than a large broadsword, obviously made of some kind of special alchemy metal, and it was a powerful alchemy weapon.
"Thank you Archangel Gold for the gift and thank you for your kind reminder. I also have a saying to you that before ancient wars, there was no distinction between good and evil in living things. As a result of the forced division, some of the angels were transformed into fallen angels and went to hell. ”
Archangel Gold has experienced the Fallen Angel event and is well aware of the changes in Sky City before and after the war.
Good can enforce justice, and evil can enforce justice. Without the neutralization of evil, the good side becomes more and more extreme.
Even if the angels and demons restrained each other before the ancient wars, they never regarded the destruction of demons as their duty, and there were even many angels who had a good relationship with the demons and punished the evil people in the world together.
The angels carried out justice, and the demons received delicious souls.
The demons of that time did not believe in demons, but trusted angels.
At that time, the angels lived very easily.
It wasn't until the Glittering Gold launched the Ancient War that everything changed.
The Golden Archangel knew why this change was happening, but he knew he couldn't change anything.
"Well, please take what I just said as a very common suggestion. Greetings to Her Majesty the Sunny Sky Queen on my behalf, I look forward to meeting her sooner rather than later.
Leave! ”
The Archangel of Gold left with a great harvest.
But before Luke could take a break, Karina came in and reported: "Director Pan of the World Bank's Angry Waves branch has come to visit. ”
Luke asked, "Is Director Pan here alone?" ”
"Yes, Lord Marquis, the sound director did not come with me this time."
Luke had guessed what Pan wanted to talk about.
The defeat at the Battle of Port Samuel was an extremely serious blow to the Republic of Leo. Not only did the local government collapse, but the new government did not smooth out the chaotic domestic situation.
The Restoration Army of the Lookout took the opportunity to attack aggressively, forming an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the overwhelmed Republic of Leo.
Some of the speculators in the Rio government began to re-align, and it was almost only a matter of time before the kingdom of Rio was restored.
