Led by the Servant, Des Moines walked into Arnold's House and came to Roy.

"Roy." Des Moines walked over and said hello, then looked at Leon.

"Lord Leon is also here, could it be that I came at the wrong time?"

Leon smiled: "It's just a greeting, nothing important, Your Excellency Des Moines came here on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, right?" ”

Des Moines bowed: "Exactly." ”

He turned to Roy and said, "Roy, Your Highness has invited you to be a guest in the Ellan Mansion, if it is convenient, please follow me now." ”

"No problem." Roy nodded.

He removed Apophis from the "coffin", put it in the scabbard, and hung it around his waist, then greeted Leon and Arya, and followed Des Moines into the carriage of the Ellan family.

Although the scabbard that Leon had made for him could not hide the aura of Apophis, there was no better way for the time being, and he could only use it.

Anyway, the big people he was going to meet would not be easily affected by Apophis's breath.

"What were you guys doing? I see you put Apophis in a transparent box. ”

In the carriage, Des Moines asked curiously.

As the person in charge of contacting Roy, it is also one of his tasks to gather and understand the intelligence of Apophis.

Because no one in Sidenia had signed a contract with Apophis before that, and they knew very little about the sword.

The only historical material that can be referred to is the record of the decisive battle with the Demon King 600 years ago.

Soon after that battle, all the heroes who fought against the Demon King died, and it is not known whether it was the power of the Demon King or the power of Apophis.

At present, they can only be sure that Apophis is indeed an unusual law sword, but the aura it unconsciously emits in a normal state is unbearable for ordinary people.

Even if the high-level inheritors stay with it for a long time, their physical and mental state will decline, which is a testament to Apophis' strength.

It's hard to imagine how powerful this magic sword will be when it is thrown into battle again.

"It's nothing, it's just that I asked Lord Leon to accompany me to do some small tests."

Roy smiled, "By the way, Mr. Des Moin, did you convey my meaning to Your Highness, what did she think?" ”

Des Moines shook his head and said, "Your Highness didn't say much, she invited you to come to the mansion as a guest, maybe she wanted to talk to you face-to-face." ”

Roy nodded, already having a bottom in his heart.

Des Moines' answer was very tactful, and it could be said that it was a decent refusal.

It's natural to think about it, if it were him, he would also require the subordinates he had worked so hard to recruit and cultivate to swear allegiance to him.

What's more, it's a personal guard like a knight in front of the palace.

This time I went to the mansion as a guest, and it is estimated that I would also ask the saint herself to solicit him again to test his true attitude.

If you insist on refusing to swear allegiance, then the matter can only be done.

Although Leon said that becoming a knight can get a spatial ring, if you lose your freedom because of this, you will lose your original and end up.

This is also his bottom line, no matter how generous the remuneration is, he will not be tempted by it.

……

Located in the heart of the Uptown, just behind the Temple of Sidnia, Airland House is the largest family residence in Sidnia.

The reason why Airland House is so close to the Sidney Temple is also because of some historical problems.

Hundreds of years ago, during the first dictatorship of Sidnia, the Temple of Sidneya was the place where the royal family of Ellan summoned their princes to court.

And the Erlan Mansion is equivalent to the royal family's dormitory, and these two parts are originally one, and they are both the territory of the Erlan family.

Later, the system of Sidneya underwent a bloodless reform, the royal family ceased to exist, and the Sidney Temple became the office of the temple council, and ceased to be the property of the Erlan family.

However, the status of the Erlan family is still noble, and as the residence of the Holy Son (Holy Maiden), the Erlan Mansion is still the same and has not been moved.

Arriving at the gate of Ellan House, Roy jumped out of the carriage with Des Moines and walked towards the house.

It is worthy of being the dormitory of the royal family in the past, and the Erlan Mansion is more luxurious than the mansions of the Qin family and the Paladin family he has seen.

After entering from the gate, there is a square, and through the square, you can see a wide avenue paved with a red carpet, leading straight to the white palace at the end.

Looking up, behind the White Palace was the towering World Tree.

Roy followed in Des Moines' footsteps, and as he went, he had seen no less than two groups of patrolling soldiers pass by him.

It is worthy of the royal family.

Roy sighed in his heart and confirmed, "Speaking of which, is Her Highness Shireen planning to see me this time, or is Her Highness Vera planning to see me?" ”

"It's Her Highness Vera." Des Moines replied.

He led Roy through the layers of garrison, walked into the white palace, came to a spacious study, and said, "Your Highness has come, please sit here and wait for a while." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, hesitated for a while, and still advised: "Roy, although Her Royal Highness Vera herself has an easy-going personality, and she has not yet been officially crowned.

"But after all, she is the saint of the future, and you must not go too far with her, otherwise it will be undignified."

After the Holy Land Tour, Roy had said that "even the saints are not worthy of my allegiance", which frightened him at the time.

He was really a little afraid that this kid would make a provocative remark in front of His Royal Highness, and if he angered His Highness because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Don't look at Vera is only eighteen years old now, in the past few months after graduating from the Inheritor Academy, she has gradually taken over the affairs of the Ellan family, she has real power.

Although the outside world did not give Vera a high evaluation of her performance because she lost to Qin Liu twice, as a member of the Ellan family, Des Moines knew-

Vera's talent is actually quite high, and even Her Royal Highness Shireen has personally admitted that her daughter will surpass her in the near future.

He had always been convinced that the reason why Vera lost to Qin Liu was just because she didn't want to win.

This Holy Highness, when she uses all her strength, it is not just that!

"I know measure."

Seeing Roy nod, Des Moines left the study.

The maid outside walked in and made Roy a cup of tea, and then left as well, leaving Roy alone in the huge study.

Roy took a sip of his tea and leaned back on the couch quietly waiting for Vera's arrival, the wall clock on the wall making a "click" sound.

As the minutes ticked by, Roy half-closed his eyes in the quiet atmosphere of the study, as if he was napping.

Then, at some point, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, staring straight at a rag doll on the desk opposite.

As a human being in two lives, coupled with the baptism of the heart of God, his spiritual strength has long exceeded that of ordinary people, and his intuition has become more keen.

As soon as he entered the study, he immediately realized that he had been targeted by a certain gaze.

The owner of that gaze seemed to think that Roy couldn't find out about its voyeurism, and had no intention of hiding it at all.

Roy pretended to be asleep, but in fact he was silently observing the surrounding environment, and soon locked on a suspect in the study-

It was a rag doll placed on the desk opposite.

Vera was only eighteen years old, and it was not particularly unusual for her to have a rag doll in her room, and the workmanship of this rag doll was extremely exquisite, even if it was placed in the study for decoration, there was no sense of disobedience.

Roy crouched on his desk, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the rag doll carefully.

No, to be precise, this should be a doll, and its body joints should be made of hard materials to support such a heavy skirt on its body.

With long blond hair, blue eyes and a delicate face, the doll is dressed in a sumptuous tutu dress like a noble princess dressed for a ceremony.

Roy had seen this type of doll in the store when he was working on various props before.

But in his impression, there has never been a puppet like the one in front of him, the costume is so beautifully designed, and the facial features are so vividly depicted-

It's like coming to life.

Could it be that the feeling of being watched just now is just an illusion created by the fact that this puppet is too vivid?

But how is it possible, how could you make such a low-level mistake yourself?

Roy frowned, hesitated for a moment, and reached out his right index finger to poke at the puppet's cheek.

Although it is a bit rude to touch other people's things casually, this doll is really weird.

And since Vera invited him, but the main lord didn't show up for a long time, could it be that this is the test she set?

He wanted to see what kind of mechanism was hidden in this little doll.

And just as Roy's hand was about to touch the puppet, he was suddenly stunned.

The puppet in front of me - actually moved!

The puppet's eyes looked at Roy, its body floating slightly, and quickly retreated.

At the same time, a young female voice with a little disgust sounded in his head:

"You have an abominable ominous aura on you, get away from me!"

Soul Transmission?

Roy was stunned, this was the second time he had communicated with others through his divine sense, in addition to the Divine Heart.

He took two steps back and sat back on the couch, looking curiously at the puppet floating in the air, simulating the way he had spoken to the Heart of God before, and asked in his heart:

"You're the puppet? What are your intentions? ”

The doll retreated straight to the wall, sat down on the window edge of the study, and then replied:

"What attempt? It's ugly, I just wanted to come and meet the lawgiver who has the magic sword Apophis.

"As expected, the aura of this sword is really disgusting, and just getting close to it makes me feel very unpleasant, I can't imagine that you can actually withstand its power."

Roy's heart moved, and he was about to speak, when the door on the other side of the study was opened, and a silver-haired girl in a long dress walked in.

Unlike the door through which he had entered as a guest, only the host's family could walk through it, and her long silver-white hair also indicated her identity.

Vera Ellan, the future Holy Highness, is finally long overdue.

Before, in the audience of the Inheritor Academy, across the huge arena, he could only see Vera's figure.

It was only now that Roy could fully see her face.

This young girl inherited the beauty of the Holy Maiden Shireen, her skin was as white as her silver hair, and she was different from her noble status, but she wore a relatively simple white dress.

The most impressive thing is her golden eyes.

Vera's golden eyes are not like ordinary judgment inheritors, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and her eyes are very calm...... Sometimes it even seems a little hollow.

When she first looked at Roy, the slightly out-of-focus look made him think that Her Highness was wandering.

"Her Highness Vera?" Roy said hello tentatively.

“…… Sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Roy. ”

Vera's eyes refocused, and an apologetic smile appeared on her face, "Alice said she wanted to see you alone, so I'm sorry to be a few minutes late. ”

"Y-you?" Roy couldn't be rectified, "Your Highness Vera, please just call me by my name, it's not more polite." ”

Even if he becomes a legal envoy, he will not be honored by this holy highness to use you.

Then he looked at the doll sitting by the windowsill and said, "What do you mean by 'Alice'...... This doll? ”

"Yes."

Vera sat down at her desk, and the doll rose from the windowsill and floated on her shoulder, "Her name is Alice Lucian." ”

"Lucian......" Roy mused, "I remember that the Temple family represented by the Dead Word was the Lucian family. ”

"That's right."

Vera nodded, "Alice was born in the Lucian family, she was a genius of the Lucian family at that time, and she reached the ninth order at a young age, but unfortunately she was incurably injured in a strategy battle.

"One of the ancestors of my Ellan family, who was a friend of hers, found this doll for her to use as a vessel, so that Alice's soul survived and has been guarding us descendants to this day."

"For those who meet for the first time, as for the details, can you say so much?" Alice's dissatisfied voice sounded in the minds of the two, "What's more, this is all an old thing from more than a hundred years ago. ”

It turned out that he had lived for more than a hundred years...... Girl, Roy touched his chin.

The Dead Word Inheritance is good at manipulating the soul, and perhaps only a powerful Dead Word like Alice can still cling to objects to continue to survive after the body falls.

Alice had just shown an attitude of disgust towards him, probably because Apophis's aura had stimulated her.

After all, Apophis' power acts not only on the body, but also on the soul, and it may be very restrained by Alice, a "lonely ghost" who has lost her body.

Vera and Alice were silent for a while, and the two seemed to communicate with their divine senses for a while, and then Vera nodded and said, "Mr. Roy, Alice and I are both very interested in Apophis.

"Can you let us see your sword?"

"No problem." Roy stood up and was about to walk over.

"Don't come!" Alice warned aloud in her mind, "Just stand still!" ”

"Okay." Roy froze in place, smiling wryly.

Well, the path of the strong is always lonely.

Thank you for teaching me this, dear Apophis.
