Arnold House.

After the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, it was already night, and everyone was already hungry.

I was going to eat right away, but I didn't expect Apophis to suddenly go berserk.

In order to prevent it from accidentally injuring anyone again, Roy threw Apophis into an empty room and confined him, and then went to the main hall with Leon and Arya for dinner.

Because of the existence of the soul contract, he can sense the location of Apophis at any time, and he is not afraid of someone stealing it.

What's more, Apophis is currently extremely resistant to strangers touching it, and even Leon has to retreat from the power it has exploded.

With its violent temper, if there is really a thief who is not afraid of death plotting against it, I am afraid that it should be the thief himself who will encounter the unexpected.

In the main hall, as Roy and the others took their seats, the servants of the Arnold Mansion brought plates of delicacies to the table.

During the meal, Leon asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the person in charge of your Holy Land tour today should be Des Moines, does he agree to your terms?" ”

Leon knew Roy, and as a future oracle, he could not have sworn allegiance to anyone.

Roy shook his head: "They may not be willing to agree to my request, it is estimated that it will be difficult."

"However, I don't care about the name of the 'Imperial Knight', if you want to get close to the Holy Maiden, this is not the only way to go."

Leon bowed his head and said, "Even if they don't agree to your terms, as a new lawyer, Your Highness will definitely see you once in the near future."

"I just don't know if it's the current Highness Shireen or the next Highness Vera who wants to see you."

Speaking of the Holy Maiden, Roy suddenly thought of something and said strangely: "I heard Des Main say before that Her Royal Highness Shireen seems to be about to abdicate, but she still looks very young, right?" ”

At the beginning of each year, on the day of the Apocalypse, the Holy Maiden personally presides over the Apocalyptic Day festival in the Uptown District.

Although he was unable to go to the Holy Land at the beginning of this year because he was going to participate in the Holy Land Tour, he had participated in all the festivals of previous years.

The last time I saw Shireen was at the final of the "Sidenia Medal" at the end of June this year, when she came to the Inheritor Academy to watch Vera and the others fight against Qin Liu.

Although it was only a glimpse from afar, the saintess Shireen at that time looked as young and dignified as ever, and she was only in her twenties.

Of course, he knew that Shireen couldn't be only this age, after all, her daughter Vera was already eighteen years old, maybe she was really well-maintained.

But even so, Roy felt that she didn't need to be in such a hurry to give up the position of the saintess to Vera, who had just graduated from the academy.

Des Moines has said that Shireen is the most powerful judge in Sidney, and the life span of a strong person is very long, even if Shireen is in her forties, she can do it for a few more years.

Hearing Roy's question, Leon smiled: "Her Royal Highness Shireen is older than me, and she is fifty-nine years old this year. ”

Roy was drinking water, and when he heard this, he almost choked, and said in surprise: "You're almost sixty years old, do you still look so young?" ”

Sidney's makeup is terrifying.

And, doesn't that mean that Shireen didn't give birth to Vera until she was forty years old? It's really late enough.

However, the more pure and powerful the inheritor's bloodline, the more difficult it is to have descendants, so most of the direct lineage of the temple family is a single lineage.

Presumably, the Erlan family is also plagued by this problem, and it is understandable that they will have a late pregnancy.

"The reason why Her Highness Shireen looks young is because she has the Irlan family's legal weapon."

Leon explained, "The Ellan family's law weapon is called the Ellan Stone, also known as the Healing Stone and the Destiny Stone, and one of its effects is to keep the wielder young forever.

"Ever since Her Highness Shireen inherited the Stone of Elland, her appearance has not changed, and this is exactly what the people of Sidneya expected.

"They wish Her Highness eternal youth, just as they wish Sidenia eternal prosperity."

Roy's heart moved: "Then if Her Highness Vera is about to become the next saint, Her Highness Shireen will also give her the Stone of Ellan?" ”

"Of course." Leon replied, "It's not just the Ellan family, most of the Temple families have this tradition.

"The Holy Maiden is equivalent to the head of the family to the Erlan family, and when the direct descendants inherit the position of the head of the family, the old family head will also transfer the law to her."

"Then next year, Her Highness Shireen will be sixty years old." Roy nodded, "At this time, it makes sense to cede the position of the Holy Maiden and the Law Instrument to Her Highness Vera. ”

After chatting and eating a fairly sumptuous dinner, Leon got up to take his leave.

"Is there anything I can help with about Apophis?" Before leaving, he asked.

Roy thought for a moment and said, "The energy that escapes from Apophis body can spread to others, and that's a real problem.

"Lord Leon, I wonder if you can help me make a scabbard for it to shield his breath from his breath?"

Leon muttered, "A scabbard capable of shielding the aura of Apophis must at least be of the highest grade...... It's even a super-grade spiritual weapon.

"I can go and make one for you, but there is no guarantee of the effect, after all, none of the forges in Sidneya have experience in customizing scabbards for Apophis."

"Then I'm bothering you." Roy nodded.

Sending Leon away, he and Arya returned to the room where Apophis was confined.

Roy stood beside Arya, took Apophis in his hand, and reconfirmed:

"Arya, don't you really feel the slightest discomfort?"

Although she had told Harvey that she didn't feel much of it in the carriage before, it was probably just because of the short time.

Arya was the closest person he was to on a daily basis, and if anyone had to say who was most vulnerable to the Apophis aura, it would be her.

He couldn't joke with Arya's body.

"I'm ......," Arya was about to speak.

"No, I'm not in a hurry to make a decision." Roy thought for a moment and said, "You stay with me a little longer and see how it goes." ”

"Okay." Arya nodded, and sat down in the room with Roy.

Roy held Apophis and meditated with his eyes closed, and after about two or three hours, it was time to sleep.

He opened his eyes and looked at Arya, "How are you feeling?" ”

Arya gave Roy a gentle smile, "I'm fine." ”

"Don't be pushy, fool, your face doesn't look like it's okay at all."

Roy stroked her slightly pale cheek with pity, "Don't worry, I'll fix this problem." ”

While meditating just now, he had been trying to communicate with Apophis spirit.

Since it can resist the touch of strangers and express irritability, it shows that there is a certain wisdom in this instrument.

At the very least, it has to learn to recognize who it is.

"Listen to Xiaobo, I am your master, she is your hostess, you have to treat her like me!"

Roy held Apophis' hilt in one hand and Arya's hand in the other, allowing her to slowly touch Apophis' sword.

And just as Arya's hand was about to touch the blade of the sword, the purple-black aura that swirled around the body of Apophis' sword fluctuated again.

At the same time, Roy felt the violent emotions that Apophis was coming from the depths of his soul.

Despite Roy's efforts to communicate with it, Apophis resisted everyone but him.

"Am I being too gentle, or are you rebellious?"

Good words and persuasion could not tame Apophis, and Roy was also angry, and shouted in his heart, "Heart of God, come out and take care of it!" ”

"You're too strong, aren't you?"

In his mind, the heart of God spoke helplessly, "Apophis was born in the abyss of chaos and darkness, and it has always been like this.

"If you calm his mind, it's like letting a tiger learn to meow."

Roy snorted: "What is difficult for the strong is difficult for the strong, you are a god, not a man."

"And isn't this sword recommended by you? Now it's hurting my wife, it's good that I didn't ask you for compensation, at least I have to warrant it, right? After-sales service has to keep up! ”

God's Heart sighed, "It's really that strong word, but it's okay, you just need to make it settle a little, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy's heart suddenly beat violently twice.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The breath of the heart of the god reached Apophis's body with two dull heartbeats, and Apophis's sword body trembled, and the purple-black aura on the surface quickly converged and calmed down.

The emotions transmitted to Roy through the soul contract also changed from the original violence to silence.

What should I do if my child is disobedient? Just take a beating!

Roy didn't know what the Heart of God was doing to scare Apophis, but when he took Arya's hand and directed her to touch Apophis again, it did no longer resist her.

"That's amazing, young master!"

Arya stroked Apophis' sword in amazement, "Now I can't feel its breath at all!" ”

"It's good to be able to suppress it." Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in his heart, "God's Heart, since you have this method, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"What's the matter, I'm just scaring it."

"But this method is not a cure, and you can't expect me to scare it every once in a while, right?" ”

Roy asked, "Is there any clever way to tame this disobedient instrument once and for all?" ”

"There is no such way." The Heart of God sighed, "To make it as docile as a sheep, and to make it as fierce as a lion, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Think about why you chose it in the first place, Roy, if you just want an obedient weapon, there were so many ordinary legal weapons for you to choose from, but you didn't like it."

Roy was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "I understand what you mean. ”

Perhaps he was thinking in the wrong direction, Apophis was by no means a docile kind, and forcibly changing his character would not only be half the effort, but would also very likely have a bad effect on it.

It seems that the only way to keep it from harming the innocent is to use equipment that can mask its breath.

……

In this way, they remained in the house for three days, until the morning of the fourth day, when Leon visited again with his retinue.

Roy led him to the room where Apophis was "sealed", and Leon took a custom-made black scabbard from his entourage and handed it to Roy, saying:

"This is the high-grade spirit weapon-level scabbard that I asked the master to customize, you can see if it is useful.

"If the scabbard does have an effect on suppressing Apophis' ability, I will ask someone to strengthen and improve it on the basis of it, and create a super-grade spiritual weapon-level scabbard to match it."

"I have a heart." Roy thanked him, then picked up Joyeus and slowly tucked it into the black scabbard.

Leon had seen Apophis up close before, and had a good idea of its size, so the scabbard was a decent size.

However, after completely sheathing Apophis, Leon stood beside Roy for a while, slowly shook his head, and said, "It seems that the scabbard can't hide Apophis's breath. ”

"Could it be because the scabbard can't completely cover the sword?" Roy made a guess.

Even when fully sheathed, Apophis' lattice and hilt were exposed.

"Just take a test and you'll find out."

Leon waved his hand and motioned for his entourage to bring a transparent "coffin" with a length of nearly one meter eight.

"What is this?" Roy froze.

"I found the props that Sidney used to carry and store Apophis, and this is a replica I made."

Leon explained as he opened the coffin board, "Put Apophis in and try?" ”

Roy did so and put Apophis in, and as the coffin board slowly closed, the dull atmosphere in the room disappeared.

"It worked."

Leon smiled, "It seems that only this level of protection can cover the aura of Apophis." ”

Roy looked at Apophis, who was sealed in the coffin, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

However, although this method can indeed mask the breath, it is not practical!

He can't fight with a coffin on his back all day long, right?

Put the coffin down during a fight and say to your opponent "Wait a minute, let me draw a sword"?

"It doesn't seem like either approach is practical."

Leon pondered, "In that case, there's only one last option left." ”

Roy nodded, "I just happened to think of a solution." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Leon's right hand, which wore a milky ring on his ring finger.

It's a spatial ring, which can be used to store things, and naturally it can also store weapons.

Presumably, in Leon's spatial ring, there is the Paladin family's legal sword Durandel.

The principle of the Space Ring is to carve out a small and stable space. Putting Apophis inside, naturally there is no need to worry about its breath affecting other people.

"Looks like we want to go together."

Leon opened his right hand and showed Roy the spatial ring in his hand, "Perhaps, it's time for you to have a spatial ring of your own." ”

Roy asked, "How can I get a spatial ring?" ”

The Space Ring is a typical super-fine spiritual weapon, and it opens up space storage technology to this day, representing the pinnacle of Sidney's application of space technology.

Because of its extremely high strategic value, the manufacturing technology of the Space Ring has always been monopolized by the Temple of Sidney, which is very rare.

Only those who have received a medal or made a distinguished contribution to Sidney are eligible to have a Spatial Ring.

Although Arya is a legal envoy, she does not have a particularly impressive record for the time being, so she is not eligible to obtain the space ring.

"To be rewarded with the Space Ring, at least you have to achieve outstanding performance in the strategy battle of the high-level world, which is still too far away for you now."

Leon muttered, "I'm afraid the only way to obtain the Space Ring at your age is to participate in the Inheritor Academy's sophomore competition, the Academy Ribbon. ”

"One of the prizes for the "Academy Ribbon" is a Space Ring. But this is a year from now, so you shouldn't be able to wait that long, right? ”

Roy nodded: "Is there no other way to get it?" ”

Leon spread his hands: "There is no way, the space ring is so rare, so its nickname is also called 'Power Ring', when you have it, you are the big man in Sidney......

"Wait, speaking of which, you do have a way to get the Space Ring right away."

As if thinking of something, Leon's expression became strange.

"If you become a knight of Her Royal Highness, Your Highness will award you a reward during the ordination ceremony.

"These rewards include medals, uniforms, capes, etc., which represent your status as a knight before the Emperor, and one of them is the Space Ring."

After all, he is a royal knight who can represent the will of His Royal Highness, and he can be regarded as a figure who stands at the top of Sidney's power, and he can't do without a "power ring".

"Ah, this." Roy was dumbfounded, "Am I going to be her Imperial Knight because of this?" ”

Just then, a guard walked briskly from outside and asked Roy for instructions:

"Sir, there is a guest at the door who wants to see you, and his name is Des Moin Ayrland."

Roy and Leon looked at each other.

No, I was just talking about the Imperial Knight.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
