Chapter Seventy-Seven: Academician Settlement

The majestic temple stretches out in front of you, giving you a sense of pilgrimage.

It can be seen that the supreme Holy Wing Emperor is indeed in control of everything in the vicinity.

Ai Suyan slowly walked into the hall, but in the next second, he involuntarily breathed a long sigh of relief.

I never thought that this place would have the slightest hostility towards me...

I saw that all the guards had been completely removed, and in the empty hall, only the magnificent decorations and the snorting of the people remained.

Even Knight William, who was unfazed, seemed to be unable to believe his eyes for a moment.

Have our exploits been exaggerated to the point that His Majesty has treated them so well?

At the same time, in the center of the main hall, a thin and majestic figure slowly emerged on the edge of the throne.

From a distance, his back was firm, his gorgeous golden robe sparkled like countless pearls and diamonds, and as for the awe-inspiring aristocratic temperament, he showed a look that he would not flinch in the face of any enemy.

I heard that the Emperor Arthur Pendria, who was also an invincible warrior in his youth... Ai Suyan was a little imaginary for a while.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly coughed lightly, and then leaned down and sat down on the top of the throne in impassivity.

"Please come to me, young hero. He stretched out his right hand with a golden glove and waved, then his sharp gaze swept over everyone in front of him, and finally stopped in front of Essouyan.

William looked up in surprise: "Do you already know everything?"

Under the slightly envious and prompting gaze of the knights, the hesitant Silver Wing Prince finally took a decisive step towards another powerful king in front of him.

As he approached, he noticed that Arthur's beard and hair were a golden hue, how to say... He thought slightly: Even the rice fields in the autumn season of Longye Village in the past didn't seem to be so pure...

And these eyes as majestic as stars, why are they made of such pure green?

It's like the most precious jadeite... I heard from Master that this kind of pupil color inheritance is even rarer and rarer than the blue of the Lockedan family...

He approached with a flood of thoughts, and even the air around him seemed to hold his breath.

"I have an important matter that I would like to talk to you about alone. After a long time, the emperor suddenly said majestically and calmly.

William was slightly stunned: "Do you need us to step down?" ”

Arthur nodded, and after a while, in the emperor's palace, the lone prince Ai Suyan looked straight ahead with clear eyes.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Silverwing. Arthur stared intently at Essusyan's face, and his tone was a little unfazed.

Ai Suyan only smiled slightly, as if he didn't have anything to say.

"It's Tuyaraf's letter, delivered not sooner or later, just before you enter the temple. ”

He yawned slightly, and a white envelope appeared in his hand at some point: "The letter says that you have single-handedly saved the battle in the fortress city, but why should you turn against your motherland?

Then the prince could clearly see that the green eyes began to grow incomparably deeper.

"In any case, please explain the original meaning of this summoning. Ai Suyan said sincerely and calmly.

"It's really something to ask for. But would you like to?" Arthur smiled, a hint of teasing in his expression.

Ai Suyan raised her eyebrows, as if she was completely puzzled.

"Here's the thing, in view of your excellent performance this time, I will grant you an official position while agreeing to your conditions, but before that..."

His tone paused, "I need you to go to the bottom of Luoxin Lake and fetch me a red stone." ”

Then, as if sensing the incredulity on Ai Suyan's face, he coughed calmly, then stretched out a finger and shook it.

"I will give you everything you want, and it will be as reliable as an unshakable vow. As long as you complete your mission, my promise will be fully fulfilled. ”

His long, majestic voice echoed through the temple like the beat of a drum.

At this time, Knight William, who was standing solemnly at the entrance of the hall, gently wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Such a call may not be just a symbol of luck..."

Ai Suyan stared ahead in amazement, her long silver hair was a little abrupt in the golden palace, but it added a touch of nobility.

"Blood... Only the blood of the Silverwings can open that door. Arthur said without changing his face, "The Lake of the Fallen Heart is located in the heart of the 'Land of Dreams' of the Silverwing Kingdom, surrounded by greenery and water all year round. ”

"But—" his expression suddenly became a little serious, "According to the prophecy of the gods, there is a red hexagonal stone with infinite magic power beneath the lake, and the light shines like a burst of stars. ”

"For a thousand years, the Holy Wings, the Elves, and many other races have sent personnel to visit the bottom of the lake many times, but without exception, in vain. ”

"But, you know what? Just yesterday, it dawned on me about all of this. ”

"A prophet said to me: 'A young man with blue eyes will be the new hope to solve all these mysteries.' ’。 ”

He shook his head a little helplessly: "Who knows? Just now, half of this prophecy was fully fulfilled. ”

Then Arthur sighed again: "Really, young man... This task really belongs to you. ”

But the prince Ai Suyan, who was standing in place, did not immediately and completely express his position.

"Everything you want?" he asked rhetorically, a little suspiciously.

Arthur nodded firmly: "Yes, I will give you three days to make all the preparations completely." Afterwards you will be a hero who has never been seen before. ”

Then he looked up again in confusion: So, are you willing to fight for it?"

Ai Suyan looked at him silently, his sky-blue eyes cloudy and uncertain, like the unpredictable ancient firmament.

"Yes, but you have to remember that I've been fighting for myself all along. ”

His figure was abruptly reflected on the gold-forged ground, like an irresistible thing in the laws of the gods.

At the same time, his innocent face, which is enough to touch all hard-hearted people, also seems extraordinarily strange and real.

Arthur leaned lightly over the armrest, then waved his hand calmly.

"When you return, may you be the same. ”

The emerald eyes slowly closed like a treasure gate.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the brilliant sunset spread across the sky like a gorgeous brocade.

But no one noticed, or rather, no one noticed, that near the fountain in the center of the palace garden, an eagle with gray-brown feathers and a resolute expression was lazily fiddling with its magnificent feathers.

Rumor has it that at this moment of dusk, all the guards are dismissed early. And for three years, there has been no interruption in this.

A man of great figure sat on the back of an eagle, his grayish-brown, somewhat melancholy eyes, perfectly matched what was at his feet.

Then he patted the sturdy leather armor around him, and glanced apprehensively at the palace.

"I'm coming, Arthur... This disaster can be said to be unprecedented. ”

Meanwhile, on the streets of Pompeii, a lone Essyan was anxiously searching for the direction of the inn.

When he left the palace, one of the guards claimed that he had arranged a place for himself, but, in the blink of an eye, this guy didn't know where to go...

He stomped his foot angrily, looking rather disdainful.

However, immediately afterward, he remembered something very important.

Shaka talked about the location of his house... The Academician Settlement in the Southwest? Oh... It's not too late to visit him first, and then go back to the inn..."

So he followed the guidance of the guards and began to run towards the edge of the city.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ai Suyan, who was running at full speed, finally felt a little tired, and he leaned on the stand of the crystal street lamp breathlessly, looking ahead: by the way, the crisp white building in front of him is the destination of this trip?

He crept closer, and what appeared in front of him lifted his spirits once more.

There are about a dozen of these houses in rings, and although the floors are not high, they occupy an extremely large area, and most importantly, there is not the slightest stain on their walls.

It's like a clean paradise, giving people a sense of freshness and refinement.

Some tall windmills are also slowly turning... Essusan squinted her eyes to look around: some of the houses here were emitting black smoke from the outside, and there were often bursts of mechanical "boom" sounds, and in the center of their surroundings, something of great importance seemed to be parked.

Is this Shaka's home? Essouyan thought to himself with some distress: it was so interesting, I had to meet him as soon as possible.

There was a red fence in front of him, and as he stepped out of his left foot to enter it, a large group of fair-skinned humanoids armed with spears and swords suddenly screamed before his eyes.

"Everyone... Excuse me. The prince touched his head in annoyance: "I just wanted to visit an old man, so..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the weapons of all the creatures were pointed at his chest in unison.

"They're just a bunch of robots, they can't understand what you're saying..."After a long time, an elegant female voice suddenly sounded quietly on the side.
