Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 35 The Ancient Spirit Beast of the Town
Saint-Randle, the capital of the Violet Empire, was the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire country, as well as the spiritual center of the empire. It is not only inhabited by ordinary people who live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is prosperous, but also gathers countless spiritualists, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and masters.
In the very center of the city is the location of the royal palace. It is inhabited by a royal family that symbolizes the power of domination.
The territories of the three major races, the Spirit Race, the Illusion Race, and the Astrology Race, are all located in the north of the city. With this area as the center, large and small bases were set up throughout the territory of the Violet Empire, so that the spiritualists scattered in various places could obtain information and exchange information.
Featherfish and Gwendrin hurried back from Mystic Lake, and by this time they were already under the city of St. Randall.
Surrounded by high walls, the urbanization of the last decade has led to the expansion and transformation of the old city center, and today only some wall buttresses, square towers and round towers remain. The tower, which stands in the north of the city, is a landmark of the city, with a faint light from above.
In spring, the weeping willows grow luxuriantly, and the branches and buds caress the water like a green curtain on the outer wall of the palace. Through the green sprouts, you can see the complex of the Royal Palace of Saint-Landel.
Similar to what she remembers, the walls of the palace are based on white marble, with marble as the foundation, which is refreshing and pleasant, and the translucent water color is unified. Alabaster stone is made of reliefs, and ethereal water ripples ripple along the palace walls, as if those buildings are not real at all, but reflections underwater.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they can't see the clues of this stone wall at all, but for spiritualists, it is different.
Led by Gwendlin, the two walked backwards along the palace wall. The terrain is getting higher and higher, and the stone steps under your feet are worn out very much, and you can tell at a glance that it has been a few years.
Feather Ray asked, "Gwendrin, who are you going to take me to?"
"See the envoy of the Spirit Clan, Patriarch, the first time you return to the territory of the Spirit Clan, you must first meet the envoy. Gwendlin paused and continued, "Ah, here it is. ”
Feather Ray reached out a hand and gently stroked the texture of the wall. Suddenly, patterns jumped out of the walls, and golden threads of spiritual power connected a series of arched holes, but inside was not a building inside the palace, but a bottomless pitch-black corridor.
Featherfish hesitated, then looked in. It is a long tunnel leading to the underground, and there is no light in the cave, only a few steps at the entrance of the cave can be seen through the sunlight. The staircase faded to gray at the end of the light, vanishing.
"The messengers...... What is the origin of it, have you checked it?"
"This ...... I don't know. Gwendrin shook his head, "The Imperial Patriarch was very busy during his reign before, and I didn't usually see him, so I met directly with the envoy for anything. Since they are people trusted by the patriarch, I didn't ask about their identities......"
"But...... Is it really safe?" Feathered Ray's fingertips gathered a stream of spiritual power, and the swirling spiritual power light shot into the deep tunnel, but was quickly swallowed up by the vast darkness.
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this place. Gwendlin nodded firmly and walked in first.
Feather had no choice but to follow down the steps, and the corridor lit up. She looked in amazement at the textures on the walls on either side, which were ancient patterns unique to the Violet Empire, a symbol of the water element.
She could see God, but the light was extinguished by her distancing. The brightness here is completely maintained by the aura of spiritual power, so I can only explore as I walk, and see the whole picture of the underground space little by little.
"Why did my father place the Spirit Messenger here?"
"The emissaries of the royal knights are all over the country, and if we hastily rendezvous with the emissaries of the Spirit Clan, we are likely to be exposed. As he walked forward, Gwendrin respectfully explained, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, and the stronghold of this part of the palace has been set up by the Imperial Patriarch for many years, and it has not been discovered, so it is safe. ”
"Where does this road end?"
Gwendrin glanced forward and said, "The very center of the palace is estimated to be a little further on." The chamber of the Second King is now directly above our heads. ”
Needless to say, it didn't take long to reach the end of the stairs, and the light gradually brightened. As the two stepped into the flat area, the room suddenly lit up with a soft light.
Only then did the feather fish see the whole picture of the ground.
It was a very empty stone room, with no ornaments. In the middle of the room, a man in a white emissary robe stood, and before the feather could see his face clearly, the emissary knelt down neatly.
"Honorable new patriarch and great spirit envoy. The voice of the messenger was clean and clear, like a pool of crystal clear water.
It was the first time she had seen such an eccentric person. The Spirit Clan's envoy exuded a cold aura all over his body, like a white jade statue in an underground tomb, or like a corpse sealed in an ice coffin for many years.
Timidity and confusion left her a little at a loss.
Gwendrin was familiar with everything here, and before the Spirit Clan envoy could finish getting up, she had already spoken, "Patriarch Feather and I have come to get some information, and I hope you can provide it truthfully." ”
"Honorable Feather Chief, my subordinates are willing to serve you. ”
The spirit envoy's tone was cold, although there was respect, but it made people sound very uncomfortable, and even looked at the eyes of the great spirit envoy with disdain.
Feather Ray spoke: "Messenger, please answer me truthfully, have any high-level spiritual magicians been here in these days when the spiritual power of Saru Town has fluctuated?"
"Patriarch, the level division of the Illusory Capital Continent for psychics is rough, and there are many psychics who can reach a high level in Saint Langdel, you still explain whether it is the spirit envoy level, the leader level, or the ancient level. The Spirit Messenger paused slightly, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Feather Ray muttered, "At least my level......"
"My subordinates don't know the limits of your spiritual power, so they can't answer your questions. ”
"The person who wants to intervene in this matter and stir up trouble from it should at least be at the level of spiritual power above the Great Spirit Envoy. During this time, was there any?"
The messenger was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes, but it has little impact on the situation, almost negligible. Is there anything else the patriarch has to ask?"
"In that case, there is a high probability that it was not the spirit magician's doing...... "Yu Wei calmed down and thought seriously: "If there is a violent spiritual power fluctuation in an area, it is nothing more than the spirit beast awakening, or several high-level spirit magicians fighting. However, according to the Great Spirit, the intensity of the fluctuations felt that day had far exceeded this range. ”
"That's right. ”
"Then answer me, what is going on in the town of Saru, and how far is that dangerous 'thing' from St. Randle?"
Obviously, Featherfish's question was too abrupt, causing the Spirit Clan Emissary to fall silent for a long time. He sighed softly and replied, "According to the information obtained by his subordinates, the three Sir Grenville, Shenlin and Monica have all been to Saru Town, but the factors of spiritual power fluctuations are very complicated, and it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by the spirit beast riot, and there is no way to know what kind of spirit beast is under it." ”
"What level?"
"Ancient level, to be precise, can be compared to the four great spirit beasts of ancient times. ”
"What did you say?" Gwendlin's eyes widened, "Do you know how serious this is?"
The envoy said in a solemn voice: "Of course my subordinates know. If it is determined that it is a spirit animal that causes the fluctuation of spiritual power, someone must have done it on purpose. ”
"Who, and how?" asked Featherfish bluntly.
"According to intelligence, the possibility of a 'town decision' cannot be ruled out. This is top secret, and I hope you don't disclose this to anyone else. The Spirit Envoy was still cold, and his tone was unquestionable: "The Great Spirit Envoy is here, and that kind of power almost kills Sir Monica instantly, which is long beyond the scope of the ability of a spirit magician......"
Gwendrin interrupted the Spirit Emissary, "Wait, you're saying Monica isn't dead?"
The envoy nodded: "That's right, about Monica, there is still something that the subordinates need to tell the patriarch. ”
"Please. Feather Ray said in a deep voice.
"Sir Monica has been brought back to the palace by royal emissaries, and the spiritual circuit has been repaired and reorganized with the assistance of a witch doctor. Due to the severity of the damage, it is not ruled out that she will develop a new psionic power. The subordinates conservatively estimated that no matter whether her future situation was good or bad, it would deviate from her original spiritual power. ”
"What is Monica's psionic powers?" asked Gwendlin.
"It's up to you who you've fought with her. The messenger bowed slightly, "It will take some time for her spiritual power to return to its original level. Until the turmoil subsides, ask the Patriarch to beware of the other members of the royal family attacking Saru Town. ”
Gwendrin asked, "Then do our patriarchs need the help of the astrologers?"
"Great Spirit Envoy, can you rule out the suspicion of the Melting Charm Patriarch?"
There was a sudden silence in the space.
"I ...... What suspicion can the Patriarch of Rongmei have?"
The envoy said: "The subject of Saru Town is the young man you took away, and no one related to him can rule out suspicion. ”
Feather Ray immediately interrupted, "So, among the people who have recently been in and out of St. Randall, are there any people who are suspected of being the owner of the 'Zhen Shi Duel'?"
"Patriarch, if you keep thinking about the true identity of the Lord of the Towns, you will only think about this matter more and more complicated. Putting aside the interference of divine power, on the premise that the Beast Tribes did not participate in the battle for Saru Town, who among the four major races would dare to confront the Spirit Clan and the royal family?"
The answer was on his lips, and Gwendlin couldn't wait to grab Bai and said, "Xiyao once appeared in Saru Town, and she was the first to know Bai Lianzhou. The news is so fast, it is definitely not for the royal family. They don't do good things behind their backs!"
Yu Wei asked, "Where is Xi Yao now?"
"It should be in merfolk territory at the moment. Strangely, the Queen's desire for Saru does not seem to be as strong as it had been at the beginning. The subordinates speculated that they should have gradually given up the competition for the spiritual power area. ”
Feather Ray nodded, and then asked, "How is the situation in Saru Town now?"
"Patriarch, the Beast Clan's spiritualists are already cleaning up the mess, and it won't be long before the town will be able to return to the peace and tranquility it was a few days ago. The envoy paused and continued: "With all due respect, your qualifications are still young and inexperienced, but the Spirit Clan still respects your opinion, do you plan to continue, or do you quit?"
Feather was stunned, and the sudden question made her in a dilemma. In the past, her father laid everything for her, and she never had an idea as the head of the family......
The future of the Spirit Race was at stake, and she couldn't make her own decisions for a while.
Seeing that Feather Ray was silent, Gwendrin also understood her difficulty, so she had to say to the messenger, "Please give our patriarch some time to think about it." ”
The envoy's tone was full of helplessness: "Patriarch, although you do need to grow, and your subordinates are willing to give you time to think about it, this matter can't wait any longer. There's never been a better time to take Saru, and your answer should be clear, right?"
"Yes, explicitly. Naturally, we can't stop there. Feather Ray smiled lightly, as if remembering something important, and then changed the subject, "Please bring the Immortal Spirit Master Bridget to me, I have something very important to talk to him." ”
"Yes. ”
