Chapter Forty-Eight: The Vice-Pope's Wife, the Great Sage! (6,000 words oversized chapter)
Virgil and Serafina naturally knew each other.
On weekdays, all kinds of work, socializing, and communication are indispensable.
Virgil glanced at Serafina next to him, bowed slightly, and said hello, but what he said came to an abrupt end. Although Ron and Serafina walked out of the hotel together, and even flirted at the door, it looked as if they had just had an in-depth exchange.
However, Virgil could not tell what position Serafina was in. In this case, Virgil doesn't let Serafina know too much.
Serafina was not stupid, she smiled slightly: "Bishop Virgil, Mr. Ron, you talk slowly, there are still some things to deal with on the law enforcement team, I will ...... first"
"No, Serafina, you stay."
"The situation that Larnaca City will face next cannot be solved by a single branch of the Church of the Dawn." Ron said quietly.
Serafina's eyes twitched, and she remembered that Ron had called himself a prophet and said that the city of Larnaca was about to fall.
Virgil frowned slightly.
Originally, in Virgil's eyes, he and Ron had formed a group, and he and Ron were the core of the group, plus an Irelia at most.
But now in this situation, Ron clearly wants to pull Serafina into the team...... I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, he and Serafina belonged to different forces, and they were irreconcilable contradictions between political power and theocracy.
However, since this was Ron's decision as a prophet, Virgil could not refuse.
Back in the opposite side of the restaurant, still sitting down by the window.
Around the round table, the three of them sat in a regular triangle, the atmosphere was a little depressing, Virgil and Serafina belonged to the type of superficial harmony and internal contradictions, and Ron, who was nominally a member of the Church of the Goddess of Aurora, but had an ambiguous relationship with Serafina, was a conciliator between the two.
"Ahem......" Ron broke the silence of the scene, "Serafina, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, ask." ”
Serafina exhaled slightly, her smooth forehead wrinkled, and she no longer hesitated: "Are you really a prophet?" ”
This is the core of all the issues, and everything that follows, is premised on that.
Ron smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Fergil next to him had already spoken: "Miss Serafina, there is no need to doubt that Ron does have the ability to see through the future. ”
Virgil sings out Ron's previous prophetic poem, which makes Ron a little embarrassed, and it feels like a black history has been revealed.
"Brother Ron accurately predicted that the sun will be swallowed, the world will fall into darkness, and the city of gold will appear, which is enough to prove Brother Ron's ability."
Serafina nodded, and Ron had said what Snowphilip had to say before he could speak.
"Brother Ron, I also prophesy that a great race will wither and the Twilight Continent will usher in disaster."
Virgil continued: "These two prophecies are also being confirmed little by little, especially the first. ”
"Archbishop Gerald has long since left Larnaca City and is currently at the church headquarters." Fergil's face turned depressed: "The information that the archbishop has sent back through secret techniques is not good. ”
Serafina's face also became solemn: "How? ”
"The Golden City, appearing in the sky above the Dragon Valley, the dragons naturally regard the Golden City as their own property, they have sealed off the nearby area, and it is strictly forbidden for other races to approach."
"Archbishop Gerald went to the headquarters of the Goddess of Dawn as soon as possible, and through the top of the church, conveyed the information that the dragons might be in danger to the dragons, and expressed his willingness to help."
Virgil spread his hands: "You know, the dragons are proud and arrogant, and those big lizards with wings don't have as good brains as their strength...... No dragon takes the church's warnings to heart. ”
"Actually, they quite like that giant city, and they don't think it's dangerous at all, or they believe that even if there is any danger, their strength is enough to deal with it."
"In the eyes of the dragon, that golden, shiny, majestic and huge city is worthy of the identity of the dragon clan, and they want to take the golden city for themselves and become the royal city of the dragon clan."
"They tried to enter the Golden City, but there seems to be some mysterious force around the Golden City, which is difficult to break through."
So the dragons chose to use the simplest and most brutal means to solve the Golden City...... They gathered hundreds of dragons and tried to blast the blockade of the giant city with their breath. ”
"And then?" Serafina was interested, she urged.
"And then, all dead." Virgil sighed, "Their massive, mountain-like bodies turned into fine powder, and blood stained the sky. ”
"The Seine near the Valley of the Dragons is dyed scarlet."
Serafina subconsciously sat up straight, her face was unprecedentedly solemn, it was a dragon.
That's the real strongest in the entire Dusk Continent.
Even young dragons that have only been born for a few days have catastrophic strength, and adult dragons can reach the level of heroes at the worst.
Is it such a powerful life, gathering hundreds of dragons, not only failed to break the blockade of the Golden City, but even died?
What is the origin of this giant city, and why can it unleash such terrifying power?
Serafina subconsciously looked at Ron next to her, only to find that Ron was just smiling inscrutablely, as if she had expected this outcome.
The elegant neck swallowed: "And then what about ......"
Virgil smiled bitterly: "The Dragon King is furious, gathering thousands of powerful dragons, ready to move in a week's time, completely destroying the blockade on the periphery of the Golden City." ”
Serafina smiled wryly.
It is worthy of the most savage race.
The dragon clan, although it is the ruler of the Dusk Continent, does not represent the life that is ruled, and there is much respect for the dragon...... They are more afraid of the dragon's power.
As for wisdom...... By the way, do dragons have such things?
The death of hundreds of dragons does not make the dragons afraid, on the contrary, it also stimulates the wildness of the dragons, since hundreds of dragons can't handle it, then thousands!
None of the problems that can be solved violently are problems.
After Fergil's words fell, both eyes fell on Ron, and they both wanted to know what the prophet thought of the current situation.
The smile on Ron's face narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the Golden City, which was still clear even from a long distance, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The end of the dragon clan...... It's here. ”
Boom!
Even as expected, Virgil and Serafina changed their faces.
That's the dragon clan, the most powerful existence that has ruled the entire world for thousands of years, how could it be so easy to usher in the end?
Ron's fingers rubbed the wine glass in front of him: "Fergil, tell them that the blockade on the periphery of the Golden City is a kind of magic array that has long been lost, and the name of the magic array is no longer known...... But, maybe it can be called an infinite rebound magic array? ”
Although the city has been locked down, Virgil naturally has a way to convey the message, but it really can't be done, Serafina is next to it, and it is always okay to open a back door, right?
"This magic array itself does not have any destructive power, but when it encounters an attack, it can bounce back the attack it has received with two hundred percent of its power."
Swish!
Both Virgil and Serafina were pale.
If that's what Ron said...... Thousands of dragons attack together, with two hundred percent power...... This destructive power may really be enough to drown the entire Dragon Valley!
But it's still too late, as long as the news is told to the dragons, everything will ......
But at this moment, Ron's body suddenly pressed down, and a pair of eyes swept over Virgil and Serafina, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So, Bishop Fergil, Miss Serafina...... Will you tell the dragons about this? ”
Virgil and Serafina subconsciously wanted to open their mouths.
But when the words came to their mouths, they suddenly stopped, and the expressions on the faces of the two people kept changing, and finally turned into a helpless wry smile.
Dragons, it's really going to be finished!
Although they already know the future and the crisis, the dragon clan is still going to be finished.
Ostensibly, Ron was asking Virgil and Serafina if they wanted to use this opportunity to save the Dragons......
But, in reality, as Virgil and Serafina, they have no qualifications to contact the dragons at all...... That's right, the dragons are so proud, they are qualified to enter the Dragon Valley and accept the existence of the dragon king, and there are only the kings of the major kingdoms, the popes of the church, the saints, the queens of the elves, the patriarchs of the orcs, and so on......
Virgil, but a branch bishop of the Church of the Dawn.
Serafina is just the daughter of a marquis, and her hero-level strength is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the dragon.
They simply did not have the qualifications and opportunity to enter the Dragon Valley, meet the Dragon King, and convey information. Even if you barely encounter a giant dragon, with the arrogance and cruelty of the dragon clan, it is impossible to gain any gratitude, and it is more likely that it is because of the curse of the dragon clan, the contempt for the power of the dragon clan, and the squirting of a dragon's breath.
The only way left is to share this information with the Kingdom and the Church higher-ups and to convey it on their behalf.
But would King Holt do that?
Would Vice-Pope Apu do that?
A true careerist, no one wants to have a stronger, more terrifying one above their heads, who can destroy their existence at any time.
Granville King Holt 473, on the surface, seems to be mediocre and incompetent, but in fact, under Holt's operation, the influence of the aristocratic class is concentrating on the royal family, and several descendants are also very good, and Holt 473 is still one of the strongest in the entire Granville Kingdom, which is by no means something that a mediocre and incompetent monarch can do.
The Pope of the Church of the Dawn is old, and a lot of things in the church are handled by Herman's father, Vice-Pope Apu Montgomery.
And this one's ambition is well known to passers-by.
It is almost certain that even if the top management gets the information, it will definitely be secret.
They will watch the dragon clan fall.
After losing the suppression of the dragons, what followed was ...... War!
Except for a very small number of existences, not many people wanted to see blood flowing and corpses strewn all over the field, and Virgil and Serafina could feel the oppression in each other's eyes when they looked at each other. Obviously, the singing and dancing are leveling down at the moment, but the invisible pressure has already made the two of them a little breathless.
Ron still had a smile on his face, "Oh, you two, please don't think that far, really...... Let's take care of Larnaca City first. ”
Serafina's heart trembled slightly: "Ron, you said before that Larnaca City would perish?" ”
Fergill's eyes lit up, and even he didn't know the news.
"If you don't do something about it, destruction is just around the corner." Ron took a sip of the drink in front of him, sweet and bitter.
"Could it be that this is also the aftermath of the demise of the dragon clan?" Serafina asked.
"No, it's not about dragons." Ron shook his head slightly, his face showing some compassion: "This is the after-effect of the Golden City's current life. ”
"I used to peek into the future...... People dragged their rotting bodies through the streets of Bruno, their mouths open and the roar of beasts. ”
"They bared their fangs and tore at the flesh of normal people."
"They know no pain, no fear, as if summoned by a necromancer, wandering in the lightless night."
"The black beast leads its loyal minions, they advance, they trample, they destroy, they destroy......"
The hoarse voice, the suppressed tone, only the scalps of Serafina and Virgil tingling, and the invisible coolness permeated their bodies, and they imagined the scene, and their skin was covered with tiny pimples.
"That'...... What is it? After a long moment, Virgil squirmed his throat and asked.
"The Black Beast and its infected!"
After a brief pause, Ron said again, "They are the guards of the young gods, and they exist to protect the young gods. ”
Infected person?
Black Beast?
Infant gods?
The name that they had never heard before made both of them a little confused.
"Young God, what is it?" Serafina asked.
Ron revealed a lot of things, but the more he knew, the more Serafina felt her ignorance, and her mind seemed to be more confused.
Ron didn't answer, just glanced out the window, the golden city floating in the sky far, far away: "Do you know what that is?" ”
Virgil raised an eyebrow: "City of Gold? ”
"No, it's the Twilight Temple."
"It is the imperial tomb of the Dusk Dynasty that ruled the whole world 8,000 years ago...... There, a large amount of wealth, knowledge and power that has long been forgotten by the world are stored, and there are also the remains of the Dusk Kings of the Dusk Dynasty who have been lying there. ”
"A king...... Awakening! ”
Hiss!
Rao had received enough shock in this period of time, but at this moment, when they heard this, Serafina and Virgil both gasped.
The origin of the City of Gold is even more exaggerated than imagined.
Dusk Dynasty?
Twilight Clan!
It was necessary to gather all the intelligent beings of the entire Dusk Continent, including the dragons, and even rely on the gods...... That's right, it's not a god, it's the help of the gods that can suppress the existence.
And a dusk king, waking up?
Ha......
Ron was too conservative to say, and this is no longer a disaster.
It's the end of the world!
"Of course, the Dusk King won't wake up so easily." Ron continued, "Before the Dusk King wakes up, his children will be the first to wake up from their slumber, hatch from eggshells, and be born from the placenta! ”
"These are the young gods."
"And the most loyal of guards will offer their masters the most delicious, sweetest, and most nutritious blood and heart."
"How many young gods are there?"
Ron shook his head: "I don't know, there could be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands?" ”
"No one knows exactly how many children the Dusk King has, but what I do know is...... Even in his slumber, the soon-to-awaken King of Dusk is still giving birth to offspring in a special way. ”
Serafina squirmed her throat slightly: "What about the black beasts, how many?" ”
"I don't know!"
Ron still replied in the same way: "I only know that the number of black beasts is dozens or hundreds of times that of the young gods. ”
"And at the moment, I only know of the existence of a black beast......"
"Who is it? Where is it? Virgil immediately asked.
"Herman!"
Virgil and Serafina's eyes narrowed.
……
Kingdom of Granville.
Intramuros.
The Grand Chapel, the headquarters of the Goddess of Dawn Church.
A middle-aged man in a gold silk robe on a white background was speeding through the hallway.
In his forties, he was in his forties, with a tall torso, a handsome face, and golden eyes, shining like the sun. This is a rather attractive man...... Especially for those girls controlled by uncles, this man is endlessly charming.
Apu. Montgomery!
Vice-Pope of the Church of the Goddess of the Dawn!
It's just that at this moment, this elegant and noble man is frowning.
Not long before, he felt it.
Eden, Simon, and Marty, all three of whom died, were the bodyguards that Upmontgomery had arranged specifically for his only son, Herman.
He used special means to control the life and death of the three people, which was enough to ensure their loyalty.
But not long ago, the threads that the three people tied to Apu's body were all broken.
The only son, Herman, is in danger!
This sudden situation did not seem to have any effect on Apu Montgomery, there was not a trace of nervousness or worry on his face, he walked without hurry, and he could even respond to the greetings of the other priests with a gentle smile on his face.
"Where are you going...... It is better not to leave the headquarters. ”
Just as Apu reached the door of the temple, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Lazy and slightly hoarse.
The sound is not crisp or pleasant, but it seems to be full of magnetism and has a different kind of charm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a tall figure on the side.
It was a woman in her thirties, but the years had not left too many traces on her, she looked only in her twenties at a glance, and her mature charm and tight and sexy body formed an incomparable temptation.
Her figure is plump, plump to the extreme.
The chest of the holy woman's dress is about to burst, it is obviously a conservative and holy holy woman's dress, but when she wears it on this woman, she exudes a soul-hooking feeling. Desire. The fabric sticks to the skin, revealing uneven curves, fully showing her beauty, and her rounded and plump legs support her full body.
The plain long skirt covered her ankles, revealing only a pair of white and tender jade feet, and she stepped on the cold floor without shoes and socks.
A pair of cold eyes did not look at Apu Montgomery, but the deputy pope felt the gaze.
His body stopped.
His face was as indifferent as ever, he didn't spy on the beauty of the woman, his eyes just drooped slightly: "Something." ”
Not counting the answers, Apu didn't seem to want to communicate too much with the woman, and walked straight out of the temple.
The woman didn't stop her, but just looked up at the statue of the goddess of dawn in the temple, and her face showed a smile on her face, a little dirty...... She took out a white silk scarf and gently wiped it on the idol to wipe away the tiny dust.
Cleaning the church, that's her job.
"Diana ......"
"You're going to Larnaca!"
The woman seemed to be talking to herself, but a crisp and cold response came from the shadows next to her: "Follow your commands, Great Sage! ”
This woman who is chaste on the outside, but gives people infinite reverie and longing.
The Great Holy Maiden of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.
Christian!
Vice-pope, wife of Apu Montgomery.
However, she is not Herman's mother!
