Chapter 33: Beth Kod
The Sacred Heaven is a large city, a city built on a mountain peak, the top of the mountain is the Imperial Palace, the continuous buildings below, and the outermost part is a vast outlying forest, which firmly envelops the entire imperial capital, and only two large galloping roads in front and back divide the forest.
Cook led Xu Yue into the city through the east gate, the imperial capital was quiet at night, but in the cold moonlight, the prosperity of the city could still be seen through the surrounding houses and smooth and wide streets, unlike the low and sparse buildings in Kaidra Town, the buildings in the imperial capital were mostly tall and dense.
"There is the palace, and the statues on the left and right are the two angels of the legendary Arch Guardian Goddess, the Angel of Glory and the Divine Angel."
The pattern of the entire imperial capital is in a stepped upward pattern, and the further you go, the more luxurious and magnificent the building becomes, like blooming petals guarding the white pearl at the top.
Xu Yue rode his war horse and walked slowly on the main marble paved road, listening to Cook explain the various areas of the imperial capital to him, and he looked up in the direction indicated by Cook.
At the outermost end of the building, there are two tall statues of angels, wearing a high crown and robes, with their wings constricted, and a stone scepter as high as the statue in front of them.
"This is the inner city of the imperial capital, and the nobles and officials of the empire basically live in the inner city, and Lord Beskode's residence is also here."
The management of the inner city was obviously much stricter than that of the outer city, and after following Cook into the inner city, Xu Yue had already seen several waves of guards patrolling the streets.
After seeing Cook leading the way in front, these guards all saluted respectfully, and then retreated obediently, which can be seen that Cook's status in the imperial capital is not low.
After walking in the inner city for a while, Cook finally took Xu Yue to a stop in front of a rather solemn-looking mansion, which was not luxurious compared to the surrounding buildings, and even looked a little cold and monotonous, but it had a strong military style.
Cook stepped forward to call the door, and then, led by an old butler, the two of them came to a meeting room, where there was no one but a man with black hair in dishevel, who was strong and had deep senses, but there was always a sense of gloom under the long hair.
"Lord Beskode, the goods have arrived at their destination."
After Cook saw Beskord sitting on the main seat in the hall, he immediately stroked his chest and saluted to report the situation, and Xu Yue also stroked his chest half a step behind him.
"It's hard work, Cook, sit down, you're not in the army in private, so you don't have to be so restrained."
After listening to Cook's report, Bescord waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, and then looked at Xu Yue, who was following behind Cook. "Who is this?"
Although Beskode's temperament was a little gloomy, his attitude was very gentle and casual when he talked, and after Cook took Xu Yue to sit down beside him, he began to introduce Beskode.
"This is the Flame of the Knights of Radiance, who recently arrived in Sacred Heaven through Barna's ship, along with Gerante and Aljeta."
After hearing Geraint's name, Beskode's eyebrows were slightly raised, but they quickly calmed down, and he looked at Xu Yue, who was sitting upright, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Flame, I saw your name in the battle report from General Thorne, under the purple fire dragon, thousands of armor were burned in one blow, which is amazing."
"The micro means are just suitable for battlefield play, and Lord Beskod has an overreputation."
After the two sides exchanged polite words, Bescord did not say much, but began to talk about business.
"Geraint is an old friend of mine, but they haven't been back to the imperial capital for many years, and they came here this time for the revival of the black dragon?"
"Yes, Geraint has sensed that the recovery of the black dragon is just around the corner, so he specially came to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty the King and discuss how to deal with the black dragon, and according to his description, now that the strength of the black dragon has surpassed that of before it fell asleep, the pressure we face this time will only be greater."
After listening to Xu Yue's story, Bescord frowned slightly.
"The elves and the temple only knew about it a few days ago, and Geraint actually knew about it at the same time, and he can be sure that the strength of the black dragon is stronger now than it used to be."
"Oh, it looks like this old friend of mine still has a lot of secrets hidden in him, did Geraint say anything special?"
"Yes, he said he knew where the black dragon's weaknesses were."
"Oh? What weaknesses. ”
"Black Dragon Treasure Jade."
Xu Yue calmly spat out four words, these pieces of information were not made up by him, but they were exactly what they learned from Geraint's mouth, and they were the information exchanged with Xu Yue when Geraint asked Xu Yue about the Black Mountain monster.
Geraint felt that these things were insignificant, and he didn't plan to hide them at all, but for Xu Yue, they were the best stepping stones.
"Black Dragon Treasure Jade ......" Beskode muttered Black Dragon Treasure Jade in his mouth, and his tone was quiet. Let's be specific. ”
"According to Geraint, the Black Dragon Jade is the source of the Black Dragon's strength, the foundation of its existence, and its greatest weakness."
"The life form of the dragon clan is very special, their weakness is not the regular heart or brain, but the treasure jade on the chest, it can even be said that every dragon is attached to the treasure jade on the chest, and in that place, there is no hard scale armor to protect."
"As long as in the battle, we set out for this weakness and dig out the treasure jade on the black dragon's chest, then the black dragon will directly collapse."
"By the way, Geraint emphasized that the power of the Black Dragon Jade is extremely evil, and anyone who tries to be contaminated will fall into the dark abyss and never recover."
Beth Cord listened quietly to Xu Yue's words, and did not react until he heard the last warning from Geraint.
"Heh, it's this set of rhetoric again, there is no difference between evil and justice in power, after all, it is just a tool, and it can only be a person who decides whether it is used for destruction or protection."
"Geraint is still as naïve as ever, but how can he know the black dragon so well?"
As Bethcord lowered his head and pondered, the living room gradually fell silent, and after telling the information he knew, Xu Yue began to enter a state of looking at his nose and nose, and Cook kept quiet after Xu Yue spoke.
After a long time, Bethcord, who was in deep thought, finally raised his head, and also broke the stagnation of the atmosphere.
"This information is very useful, and the Knight of the Flame understands the righteousness and knows the severity, which is very good."
"Lord Bethcord has an overreputation, and this is all for the safety of the Empire."
After staring at Xu Yue's sincere eyes for a moment, Bescord nodded with a smile, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but instead began to chat.
"I heard that the Knights of the Flame burst into battle on the battlefield as soon as they arrived at the fortress, and then joined the Glowing Knights, responsible for leading the team to exterminate the monsters in the rear of the empire, and the whole process has only been a few days now, it is really outstanding."
In the face of Bescord's sudden praise, Xu Yue was extraordinarily humble.
"Mainly because of General Thorne's eclecticism and the best use of his talents, I am fortunate to be valued by Captain Kairos, and although I have only joined the Knights of Glow for a few days, Captain Kairos has special trust in me, and I should do my best and dare not slack off."
"It seems that the Knights of the Flame and the Knights of Glow have a very close relationship, I originally wanted to recruit and add another talent to the Knights of the Guards, but now it seems that there is little hope."
"Thank you for your appreciation, but the Imperial Knights are all headed by the Knights of the Guards, whether I am in the Knights of Glow or elsewhere, they are all under the command of the Lords, and there is no difference, if the Lordship has orders, I will do my best."
