Chapter 12 Danger lurks
The sudden arrival of Pegasus causes some noticeable commotion among the crowd.
Silver streamers, dotted with satin, wrapped around Pegasus' sturdy wings, and then for a moment drowned out everyone's otherwise calm gaze.
People flock to the city to get a good glimpse of something they've never seen before.
At the same time, in the quiet farmhouse, the old man who had just picked up the child was frowning, and the light in the room was dim, but it was still difficult to hide the aging of his appearance, especially the gray-white eyebrows and panting nasal cavity, which made people sigh the sadness and cruelty of youth.
"I really didn't expect that Ethel's death was really a conspiracy. The old man sighed.
"I didn't get there in time, and I ended up mourning silently in this remote place. He closed his eyes, and on the white envelope in his hand, the black handwriting was glaring and abrupt.
The content of the letter is simple.
"In the name of the King, I salute you, whom I have not seen in years, Sword Saint Morton, my friend. ”
"Time flies, we are all getting old, but the power of justice is being mercilessly watched by the power of evil at this time. ”
"By the time you know this, I'm long gone. ”
"Reddick the Betrayer has joined forces with a mysterious force to storm the palace of Australasia City, dreaming of one day seizing the sacredness and splendor of the Throne of Glory. ”
"But I am powerless to stop it, so I have to entrust me and Anne's young son, Essouyan Lockdan, to you, who can help me. ”
"I want nothing more from you than to let him grow up safely. But I want you to let him learn literature and swordsmanship until he has the power to hold the legendary sword again. ”
"The Throne of Glory cannot fall into the hands of traitors for long, for the first task of being a king is to learn to restrain his greed and lust for power. Otherwise you will lose everything. ”
"Farewell, Morton, I'm leaving to see Anne, and we'll be happy in the other world, and you don't need to worry about it. ”
"King of the Silver Wing: Ethel III. ”
Morton froze, and suddenly he heard a crisp child's voice.
"Grandpa, when I was in the sky just now, I almost fell down, thank you for letting me land safely, my name is Ai Suyan. ”
Morton looked at his face, the pure blue color of the clear sky, there is no doubt that it is inherited from the most noble royal bloodline in the western part of the continent, but...
He smiled.
"From now on you will follow me..."
Three days later.
In the ruined Star City, in the solemn palace, the ruined walls have all been repaired, and in the deepest hall, the new king Reddick is dressed in silver armor, reclining on the throne of glory.
Behind the curtain, a short figure suddenly flashed out, but at this moment, the hall was empty.
However, Reddick did not show the slightest hint of surprise, and only said lazily, "You are finally here." ”
"I'm not the only one who has arrived here, there is also the great will of the Sirius God. The short figure was dressed in black armor, and his face was slightly obscene, but his words revealed incomparable firmness.
Redick turned his head, and the hall was dimly lit, as if something strange was quietly flowing by.
"Then my ally, Rachel Heartbreaker. What kind of order do you want to pass on to Lord Sirius God this time?" After a long moment, Reddick finally asked.
"I still want this 'Sword of Life Infusion' by your side, what do you think of this?"
"Is it the will of the Sirius God again?" Redick asked.
"No, it's my own. La Ring sneered slightly: "Anyway, this sword is just a scrap metal for you, so it's better to use it in the most useful place." ”
Reddick suddenly rose from his throne.
"It's impossible. This sword has been passed down from generation to generation and has always been a hero's saber. What's more, I was able to harness its power with ease. Reddick said with a frown.
"Is that so? Don't forget, how did you get your throne? Ra Ring raised an eyebrow, and then continued aggressively, "If you can prove that you are indeed the owner of this sword, I can also dispense with this request." ”
Reddick reached into his waist and pulled out a sword.
At first glance, the sword shimmered with silver-white light, like the sparkling surface of a pure lake. The blade of the sword is carved with countless small and delicate patterns, and the hilt of the sword is inlaid with a large and brilliant blue gem, which shimmers in the dim hall with a beautiful luster that seems not to belong here.
The holy sword "Life Infusion", which has never left the hands of the kings of the Silver Wing for a thousand years, is now tightly held in Redick's hands.
He suddenly exerted his strength, and the holy sword was unsheathed.
In an instant, the sound of the sea seemed to come to my ears, countless years passed, and the original legend of life still made people feel like they were in a blurred dream.
The sound of the waves looms, if it is about to leave, the vaguely pure water waves, quietly lapping on the heroic monument engraved with legends, moistening the eyes of countless people passing by.
It doesn't seem to belong to this world, and its voice is clear, but it's ethereal and distant.
When the cleanest light in the world begins to flicker, the sea at the end of fate is also calling for the return of the brave.
The silver sword light flashed, but it was so fleeting that it didn't even have time to confuse people.
The sound of the waves dissipated, and in the quiet silver streamer, Ra Huan, who had regained his composure, said with a smile: "Why is the legendary sword soul: the stag missing?"
"He is asleep because of the death of his master," said Reddick, "and I intend to secure a resting place for him that is sufficiently peaceful." With that, he put the sword into its sheath.
"Bookmark it, Reddick. Ra Ring suddenly changed his words: "But you have to do what you are supposed to do." ”
Reddick nodded, "How is the situation now with the two combatants you sent south to hunt down Asuyun?"
"Aisuyun's resistance is too stubborn, the berserker was killed in battle, and the magic queen was wounded, but Martha thinks that he has also reached the end of the crossbow, and rest assured, he alone will not be able to make any waves." ”
"What? he ran away?" said Reddick, taken aback.
"The Mystic Legion has halved in strength due to Saturst's demise, but our men are still searching for his whereabouts, and he has been missing since that battle. ”
Before Rahuan could finish speaking, a kingdom attendant slowly approached outside the hall, and Rahuan hurriedly hid behind the scenes again.
"Report to Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony in the Hall of Glory will begin soon, and the King himself is requested to prepare as soon as possible. The squire leaned over and said.
Reddick nodded.
When it comes to the most eye-catching place in the great Silverwing Palace, it is undoubtedly the "Hall of Glory" where every king ascends the throne and feasts his guests.
He couldn't help but smile wickedly on his face.
All of this is destined to belong to me...
At this moment, the hall was crowded.
William patted Bill on the shoulder.
"This enthronement ceremony, compared to the one twenty years ago, is significantly more sparse. ”
Bill came back to his senses, and then said unhurriedly: "It seems that this is true, the key is that many important people in the human kingdom are not very much in favor of the transfer of the throne from the Lockedan royal family to others, and the elven kingdom Ilil was also absent from this ceremony this time. ”
"All in all, the fall of the Silverwing Kingdom is inevitable. William said.
"But as long as it can hold on to the last bastion of the Kingdom of Khastan, there is still no force that can threaten its existence. Bill said.
They looked around, most of the congratulators in the hall were from the Silver Wing Kingdom itself, and the envoys from the Holy Wing Empire and the Liuxia Kingdom almost occupied the rest of the seats, but outside the crowd, Bill suddenly noticed something unusual.
On the periphery of the crowd, the temperament of some people seems very abnormal.
They were dressed in sackcloth and their faces were solemn, and everyone else was moving around, but they were just as motionless as puppets.
Such a temperament gives people a sense of crisis coming.
"According to the rules of the Denaleo continent, no one other than the guards should be allowed to wear weapons at this rally, and, look at those guys. Bill gestured to the group of people dressed in sackcloth.
"They are not Silver Wing officials, nor are they dressed as emissaries of other kingdoms, so who are they?"
"Maybe it's because of the lack of numbers, so it's just civilians specially recruited from other places, just to count people. William replied lazily.
"But don't you think they stand like soldiers on a march, and do you see a small part of their scabbards exposed?" said Bill, solemnly, and William looked at it intently.
"It's a really hot place. After observing this, William wiped the sweat that was oozing slightly from his forehead.
"It's unusual, but we don't have a sword in our hands, so let's take advantage of it. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, the muezzin's voice rang out from the temple.
"The King is coming!"
"God bless my king!" At the same time, all the silver-winged nobles bowed down and saluted, and the envoys of the various countries warmly applauded their palms.
The atmosphere was quite enthusiastic for a while, and under the gaze of everyone, "King" Reddick slowly walked to the front of the crowd, he was dressed in clean and gorgeous silver armor, and behind him was draped in a huge red velvet cloak, which was a symbol of the king's glory.
In the Hall of Glory, the dangerous aura that ordinary people are difficult to perceive touches the hearts of Bill and William.
"After the ceremony, we will leave this place immediately and return to the Holy Wing Empire!"
