Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 114 Reasons and Conditions

On the same night, the Fredel Hall at the other end of the Golden Temple was brightly lit.

Different from the other demigod palaces, this palace belonging to Greg has a luxury visible to the naked eye inside and out. Every tall column in the courtyard is coated with brilliant gold powder, and the marble Both sides of the paved road are dotted with countless precious gems, and even the horses resting in the stables are covered with rare furs transported from all over the border.

Most of these extravagant decorations were transported to the Freddie Hall in recent years—when the Golden Prince Godwin was not as busy fighting against the rebellion as he is now, the young Grek hadn't shown his desire for materialism. Such an indulgent treat.

But in the past two years, local rebellions in the Golden Dynasty have become more and more frequent. Godwin is often outside the army all year round, and Greg, who is almost an adult, has naturally become the most orthodox leader of the Golden Line in the capital. He has the power and qualifications to restrain him. There are only two His Majesties.

However, perhaps in order to show his respect for the former King Ge Fulei, Ladagang never expressed any dissatisfaction with the elders of the Ge Fulei era except for the disputes between the old and the new parties in the government. Gregoire, the eldest grandson of the first line, is even more graceful.

And Queen Malika, who should restrain Greg the most, just showed an almost conniving attitude towards her grandson, not only letting him indulge in material enjoyment, even if Greg made mistakes, she would often make big things into small things. There is no real punishment.

Over time, Grek gradually developed an unscrupulous style. In addition to the material indulgence that was criticized by others, he also mingled in the underground gladiatorial games among the nobles all the year round. He likes to organize mixed races, mountain monsters and other alien races to fight to the death with all kinds of wild beasts, and indulges in those bloody and brutal killings.

In the long run, the speed of the large and small arenas under the name of Greg has consumed foreign slaves far faster than that of his peers. He and the Duoris family, a family that leads the outside world and can provide "sources" for a long time, are getting closer and closer. reasons.

At this moment, Gregor is sitting high in the banquet hall in the middle, with two beautiful maids in his arms, sometimes raising his glass to drink with Grafya and Carlisle who are sitting below. His face was hot and his ears were hot, and the chatterbox couldn't stop opening up.

The three of them are now students of the royal family's private school, and most of what they talk about in their conversations is what happened in the classroom. Grek has the most noble demigod blood of the gold line, and he has performed quite well in all aspects except for being slightly inferior in the field of magic. excellent.

Of course, "excellence" can be compared with anyone else. If he is compared with other demigods whose talents are similar to those of Prince Godwin, he is inferior in all aspects—he is inferior to Latarn in combat skills, and better than Prince Godwin in prayer. However, Mikaela is not as good as Lacard academically, and is not as good as Lucia in all aspects.

He couldn't understand why that damned ancient dragon could inexplicably break through the natural shortcomings of the dragon race in the field of magic, not only awakening the primordial magic power that was countless times better than him, but also making rapid progress in the practice of magic. With the momentum to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kalia's three guys who played magic since childhood.

In a few words, the topic unknowingly led to Greg's belittling and insulting Lucia. This may be due to the conflict between the two at the dinner that day, and the fact that Lucia was first conferred as a god-man, and then in various places. On such occasions, the limelight overshadowed his factors, but in the final analysis, it was still because of his disapproval of the identity of "ancient dragon and demigod" from the bottom of his heart.

In Greg's eyes, only demigods with golden blood flowing in their bodies are considered demigods in the true sense. Since the prince and princess of Kalia are the biological children of His Majesty Radagon, the current king of Elden, he can't say much about it. What, but why can an ancient dragon who has passed away be canonized as a god-man by the supreme will, and his status is still faintly above him?

Gefuya and Carlisle on the side have always been Greco-based in the process of getting along, and seeing this situation, they tried their best to agree, until they made Greco's eyes blurred and finally coaxed him to let go of this tone.

Seeing that this meaningless topic was finally revealed, Carlisle proposed the real purpose of the trip. He first toasted a glass of wine to Greg, and then smiled casually: "Brother, I don't know if you have paid attention to the end of the year recently." Battle Festival?"

Greg laughed, and said with the strength of his wine: "How could I miss such a grand event—if I wasn't afraid of losing face, I would like to go out and play in person to see how good these new fighters are this year!"

Carlisle shook his head and smiled lightly, "I want to ask, has my brother paid any attention to the bet between my father and the Marquis of Osarion?"

As soon as this remark came out, Gefuya, who was sitting on the other side, was a little embarrassed. Given the relationship between the three of them since childhood, Carlisle's previous question obviously meant this, and Greck's answer was more or less suspected of pretending to be confused. .

He originally thought that the matter was just muddled, but he didn't expect Carlisle to be so ignorant, he insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line, wouldn't this make his brother unable to step down?

A gleam flashed in Greg's eyes, and a smile appeared on his alcoholic face, and he said, "I've probably heard that the two adults are betting on the ownership of the guardian of the northern border, right? Hahaha, the two adults must be It was also a joke, this kind of appointment is a big deal, how can it be decided by a gamble?"

"Brother."

Carlisle stopped covering up completely, he simply stood up, bowed and said: "With the relationship between you and my brother, there is no need to cover up this matter. I do have an unfeeling request when I come here today——"

He looked directly at Greg, whose face was gradually gloomy, and said: "Brother is right, the appointment of this level is naturally not determined by one game, so I want to ask brother to be in the court meeting after this game. , support my father to continue to sit in the northern border."

Greg, who was sitting on the main seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could no longer hear the slightest hint of drunkenness in his voice, and said, "Give me a reason."

Carlisle looked directly at his childhood playmate whom he had known for many years. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he really heard the other party say such words so coldly, he still felt an uncontrollable chill in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and replied: "Little brother can not only give brother a reason, but also attach a condition."

Greg was slightly startled, and raised his hand to signal Carlisle to explain in detail.

"The reason is that we will definitely win this bet. Even if Marquis Osarion invites Master Rollo to help us, we still have the means to ensure victory."

"As for the conditions - whether the Duoris family who can continue to sit in the northern border has more weight than the Ofnir family who just lost Karen, an important border town, I believe I don't need to talk to my brother."

"The condition we can give is that if my father continues to serve as the guard of the northern border after my brother supports the gamble, the entire Duoris family will formally pledge their allegiance to you. In addition, after this gamble, the remaining Icefield Mountain Demon and Seran under the family name All the special arenas can also be given to my brother to show our sincerity."

After speaking, Carlisle quietly looked at Greg on the main seat. After a moment of silence, the latter let out a few hearty chuckles, and then turned into a hearty laugh.

Greg strode down the steps, came to Carlisle, held up the other's palm, and said with a smile: "You and I are like brothers, even without these conditions, how could I not lend a helping hand to Duke Duoris? Just now It was just a joke."

Carlisle showed a knowing smile at the right time, and Gefuya took advantage of the situation to raise his glass to toast, and everything seemed to have returned to the lively and peaceful atmosphere before.

Greco, who felt that he was earning a lot of money, had dissipated the unhappiness caused by thinking of Lucia. During the banquet, the three of them talked about their respective ambitions in the dynasty, and there was a sense of boldness that the future was in the palm of their hands.

Greg has already made up his mind to fully support the Duke of Duoris to continue serving as the guard of the northern border after the gamble. As Carlisle said, a Duoris family who is willing to be completely loyal must be more important than the Offnell family.

After tonight, he was one step closer to the power core of the Golden Dynasty—at least at this moment, he thought so.
