Well, there are two people in the book review section who have moved the readers' votes, and everyone can go and join in the fun when they have time......
On summer afternoons, the bright sunlight shines through the window screens, bringing plenty of light to the room, but not dazzling.
Compared with the nearly 1,000-year history of the Louvre, the 30-year reconstruction time of the East Audience Hall is relatively short, so the tall Lockcoian floor-to-ceiling window lattices are also a reflection of the mysterious and sturdy ancient Acropolis, and the light-colored teak furniture in the room gives the interior a warm and bright light.
But Stellan Sivor Lane Fernandis was a little tired of the abundant light which would normally make him happy, because it made him unable to see the man's face, which should have been naturally overshadowed by the face of the sun. But in the eyes of the young prince, that face was still drowned in a faint halo of light, along with the neatly trimmed white beard, and no matter how much he narrowed or widened his eyes, he could only see a white patch.
At this moment, he couldn't help but have a strong disgust and hatred for the white light, because it was so strong that people couldn't resist, and forcibly stuffed the pale into his eyes.
"I'm sorry...... But Priest Heinker, you were just talking ...... 'cultist'?"
"Very exactly. That's exactly what I said. His Royal Highness. "The old man in the chair has a gentle voice, and if he just listens, I am afraid that no one will be able to associate it with the word 'old man', mellow and gentle, so that just hearing it will produce a sense of intimacy.
However, the young prince did not have a good impression of the person in front of him, not only because of the light, but also because of what he was saying.
"As far as I know. The term has not been used in the country for at least a hundred and fifty years. With a finger, tapping lightly on the gilded parchment in front of him, the young man pondered the wording: "What's more, in the territory of Edward Vincent...... I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, though my knowledge of this Viscount Edward is limited to a few private conversations, but as far as I know him personally, he is not a man of connivance with evil. β
"Of course, His Majesty the High Lansender taught us. We will never let go of any evil, but we must not wrongfully accuse any good person, so we also know enough about this Viscount Edward Vincent, Your Highness. **The youngest apprentice and the youngest high-level mage. The most gifted mage apprentice of all time. The first mage lord in nearly thirty years, the realm is thriving and unbelievably prosperous, in fact, or you don't know, he is also an honorary member of the Church of Lansendel. β
"This is the first time I've heard of this, so please forgive me. I remember that the relationship between the mages and the priests had always been uneventful. Stran laughed, "Even so, do you suspect that he has something to do with the so-called evil......?"
"It's a faux pas to suspect a friend, but this time the problem is too big. There is no room for the slightest sloppiness. β
The words of the chief priest of the Lansendel Temple in the southwest region made the young prince frown.
Of course, there is a big problem, otherwise it would not be your local priest who will come in person, and you will have to meet with me to agree on the addition of new temples in the four regions of the country, or to increase the size of the temples? If it is linked to the so-called cult, the problem is not to ask for money.
"I think, Your Highness, you should have heard of the impact of the rune that appeared in the sky recently, right?"
"The opinion of the state mages about this rune is that it is nothing more than a natural disaster, some ...... created by the operation of the magic web Well, please forgive me for not knowing what the mage said, but in short, it is a natural product like a storm at sea, and although it may cause some danger, it will eventually disappear after a certain period of time, and we don't need to overreact to it. Of course, the more radical way of saying it was the Empire's name, you know, the timing of their attack was ideal, and we were caught off guard and held back a lot in the previous period. β
The young prince said, and his eyebrows jumped, which seemed to indicate that he was impatient with the fuss made by the priest in front of him, and the sudden change of topic.
"I see,"
The regional priest of Lansendel nodded, and spoke slowly, but his voice was surprising: "The mages may have their own opinions, but Your Highness the Prince, if we understand it, this matter is probably not so simple, because that rune is somehow closely related to an ancient sin that once disappeared in the records of our church, and now its appearance is on a certain stage...... It could be some kind of harbinger of the imminent return of that evil. β
"Ancient evil?" the prince was stunned, and then couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth: "Your Majesty, although I don't know much about ancient legends, but the word ancient evil seems to represent a very terrible disaster, and the scale is often grand and amazing?"
"There have only been seven times in well-documented history. But Your Royal Highness, I have to remind you that three of them are related to the one we are talking about. β
The regional priest lowered his gaze slightly, and noticed with satisfaction that the slight hostility in the eyes of His Royal Highness the prince had subsided, there was no doubt that this young man did have good attainments in love, and his efforts did not show any inner turmoil in his expression: but in the eyes of an experienced old man, this disguise was intended to be concealed: "This is why I have paid so much attention to this new church. In the name of darkness, appearing at this sensitive moment, it has to be said that we cannot ignore its existence. β
"It is true that this goddess named Bellena has never manifested her existence, but does she really have anything to do with it?
"I'm not alarmist, Your Highness. β
The young prince's surprise and incomprehension made the old man sigh: "Regarding the details of this matter, we will naturally send a detailed report to explain, but for now I can only hope that you can believe it." The thing I said. And keep it a secret for us. β
Although, what caused this qiΔ was a more terrible existence than the evil god. But detailed explanations do not help the events themselves.
"Of course, you have enough credit. β
"Then, Your Royal Highness, your time is precious, I won't go into details, for the construction of several areas of the temple, we will pay the corresponding expenses as compensation. The specific amount has been written out, and as for the personnel, we will soon put it in place, and. Regarding the invasion of the Empire, we will give the greatest help to the King ** team at the level of our ability. β
The young man's soft jaw was enough to sign the success of the agreement, and the old man stood up and prepared to leave.
"But as far as I know. His Majesty Lansender has always been unsupportive of war?"
His Royal Highness seems to be trying his best to maintain his affection. But it still can't hide the surprise in the words
In fact. With the exception of a few, most of the self-proclaimed righteous or good priests will not take war lightly, because war is different from war, there is no real distinction between good and evil, and they may help the victims of war, but they will not give too much support to one side or the other. Whether it is the Tumenes or the Empire, any killing between people can only be regarded as an equal evil.
What, then, does the old man's last promise represent?
"Of course. We will not disobey our teachings, but we can do some positive work in the treatment of the wounded in the war zone. The old man nodded, and turned to leave.
"I'm here, boy...... I'm in trouble right now. β
As the old man stepped out of the door, it was not until the door was closed and the protection of the magic began to work again that the young prince sat down, leaned his head back in his chair, and muttered to himself.
In a moment, a pair of soft and slender palms landed on his shoulders, gently kneading and thrashing, while the young man only sighed comfortably and did not look up.
"Is that good? Ransendel's church, I have heard that they seem to be a little ...... in their tactics towards people of different philosophies Radical. β
The woman who walked out from behind the screen in the room kept her head down, as if she liked to hide her face in front of the long front and under the shadow: "Whether there are any evil gods in the territory of Viscount Edward, I am afraid that they will inevitably have some conflicts." β
"yes...... Some people are not to be provoked, no matter how gentle and harmless they may seem. Especially that Edward...... And those gods ......"
Straan sighed: "A friend of mine once told me that these sticks are always more dangerous than the three-headed dogs, and for the three-headed dogs, you only need to watch out for them from the left and right sides of the front, and for a magic stick, you have to be careful not to be bitten by him in any way!"
"It's inconceivable that the temple of His Majesty Lansendel would do such a righteous thing...... Engage in mundane warfare, something they haven't done in the last thousand years. β
The young maid hung down, but at last she couldn't help asking, and the whisper was almost inaudible. But the corners of the young prince's mouth curved into a sarcastic smile:
"Justice, what is justice? If it's really righteous and kind, throw aside their rules of paying first and then healing? Not to mention Tumenis, even if I cure the rotten feet of the beggars in the streets and alleys of Romandy, I can trust their justice! Besides, I don't really believe that they really didn't participate in the war, but they just cleaned up their hands and tails, right?"
"But Your Highness, is it really okay for you to agree to their conditions......?" the maid hesitated: "Will this be a little ...... for Viscount Edward?"
"Edward, didn't the old fellow say he had a good relationship with the Sun Temple, I don't think there would be any problems, and...... How could there be any collusion with the cultists?" Strang smacked his lips, grunted imperceptibly, and then looked up:
"No way, he gave me a condition that I couldn't refuse, you know, how advantageous it is to have the help of a priest in a war, right? a priest can almost keep seven or eight soldiers in the best fighting condition forever, and he will reduce the cost of the bereavement to the greatest extent, otherwise the pension for the crippled alone will be enough to drain every copper plate in the treasury. β
Reaching out and carefully rolling the fine parchment on the table, he placed it in a case of pure gold scrolls. He sighed:
"Alas, my friend once said that if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, that old pelican may not be able to sleep if he doesn't complain to me about the lack of money twenty times a day, and I can't make so much trouble for him anymore, but even if I add a church in the territory, I guess Edward will not have any problems. Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, let's take the money first, and then talk about it, the temples in the other three locations can start construction first, as for Edward, hehe, if he doesn't want to. Just stop work, can these priests stop work for a temple...... Oh. It is a temporary shutdown. And to nullify the whole plan? There is no precedent for such a thing to want it back from me after paying the money!"
"Of course, you're right, you do have to tell Edward first, well, the viscount. Can you help me think about how to say it more tactfully?,
He didn't doubt the loyalty of the woman in front of him, but he instinctively didn't want her to get too much into his secrets. I don't want to let my experience bring more burden to her, after all, if he makes a mistake, he may have to face death, and at that time, no one should pay attention to the existence of a little maid.
Of course, this is just a conjecture in a certain part of his mind, he is well aware of the fate he faces, if there is a real day of failure, all the participants can only step on the fate of death. The difference is only whether the pain of death is short-lived or more intense.
"I think it's up to you to tell him about this matter in person...... Demonstrate your sincerity, or...... Or don't tell him at all...... Just do what he doesn't agree with?" After a moment's hesitation, the maid said in a low voice, "And most importantly, you'd better know if the visions that have been produced these days are really related to him?"
If you don't write it, you will be said to have jumped too much of a dividing line
"What?"
Edward frowned deeply, "Is the impact so great?"
"I can't help it, Edward. That strange thing seems to have affected the connection of the gods, and no matter how much we pray, it is not easy to get a response, although we can still feel the metaphor of Belllena's majesty, but the meaning that can be produced is fragmented, and it is completely impossible to spell out a complete sentence. β
Miss Lisa, who was sitting on the side, shrugged her shoulders: "Rotten melon, you're like that over there, right? I guess you're probably worse there, aren't you?"
The Psychic shook his head, pulling his gaze away from Dahny's jaw movements, landing beyond the wide lattice of the Mage's Tower.
The horizon, the evil talisman.
If you look closely, you can notice that the faintly visible rune has become much clearer, even if it is not night, ordinary eyes can barely observe its existence, and in Edward's eyes, it is even clearer that around the indescribable character, the rings of fine textures, constantly rotating, constructing a mysterious that attracts attention.
Just like he was in the kingship, the rune at the core.
Unexpectedly, once the influence of this thing expanded, it would spread so badly to block the connection between believers and gods?
This time, he really shot himself in the foot...... Or rather, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?
Hold on
Giving the old guys instructions on the train's derailments, turns, and movements delayed his lunchtime, and the fellows had so many stubborn and strange ideas in their heads that Edward's every decision would be questioned by them, but no matter how much they racked their brains and tried to find a little doubt in the various techniques to maintain their fragile self-esteem, they could only be beaten to the brink by the young man's ridicule, and finally when they finally understood that the young man had given them an unassailable perfect plan, the sun had been in the middle of the sky for a long timeγ
Although this time must be wasted, or these skeptical old fellows will inevitably test the possibilities in their minds, Edward can only pay for it, and he really can't imagine any way to teach them some lessons.
This time, the meal was a little more casual and a little more common, a platter of pepper broth, freshly marinated, fried pork sausages, steaks and vegetables, palm-sized bread with butter as a staple, served in woven rattan baskets, and placed casually on a long table by the wall, ready to eat.
For Edward, who has almost eaten for stir-fry in recent times, this is already counted
Dimon Long? (To be continued......)
