Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 132 Lance
When Lucia returned to Valyria, Lance Shanks was already waiting there.

Freya didn't know whether she was seriously injured or suffered too much shock in a short period of time. Before she got home, she fell into a deep sleep again. As soon as she landed, Lucia handed her over to two medical priests specially transferred from the Ancient Dragon Temple. Nursing, as long as this most dangerous time is passed, with the blood talent of the high-level flying dragon, there will naturally be no problems in the follow-up.

After explaining the solutions to several other matters, he walked into the study room he used the most, but at this moment, the ancient dragon priest in white robes sitting opposite the desk, he carefully opened it for the guests. He sat down on the chair, without daring to let out a breath.

There was a gurgling sound of tea being poured into the mouth of the cup, and the hot air diffused, covering the expression on Lance Shanks' face.

After pouring out a cup of warm black tea, she just calmly pushed it over from the other side of the water mist, and said in a calm tone, "Drink some, it's rare for Rodel to be so cold, especially when you were in the underground sewer just now." You have been tossing around for so long, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Both of them knew very well that even a newly born demigod would not suffer from freezing in a place like the extreme northern ice sheet for a few days and nights, let alone the current Lucia.

It's just that he didn't dare to talk too much at this time. Hearing the words, he immediately took the teacup with both hands, and began to sip it in small sips. At the same time, he tried to judge the direction of the next conversation from the subtle expression of the other party.

He knew that just half a day ago, Sister Lance was still outside the capital to deal with the mess left by the previous round of conflict with the New Party. On the surface, the temple also fought, and Ladagang even used the golden rule The intention to reconcile is clearly expressed in the legal token, but the deeper problem is much more than that simple.

When Lucia, with the dual identity of ancient dragon prince and god-man canonized by the supreme will, stepped onto the big stage of Rodel, the center of the era, the ancient dragon temple, which was originally a symbol of the friendship between the two dynasties, completely changed in nature. The current temple has been completely bound together with the Valyrian temple, and has become a new political force close to the category of the old and new parties.

In this context, even if the core figures of the new party and the temple——Ladagang and Lucia have no intention of embarrassing each other in a short period of time, the two factions are still in the throes of adapting to each other. The fierce beasts that met suddenly in the mountains and forests, although they were afraid of each other and would not come up, they would fight to the death, but friction and collision twice, testing each other's waves, and even renegotiating the boundaries of their respective territories are all inevitable.

All these things, although not as exciting as a direct fight some time ago, but in terms of complexity, it is definitely more than that, even with Lance Shanks' control over his subordinates like his arms and fingers, I had to leave the capital and go to various places to inspect and inspect in person, and re-plan the development strategy for the next few years based on the actual situation in different regions.

Her original idea was to let Lucia get involved in these affairs while studying in the private school of the royal family. After all, the future Dragon King's military strength alone is far from enough. of.

But who would have thought that she had only been away from Wangdu for less than a month, and a series of troubles have been involved here through the battle ceremony. Sky City is not interested in the position of guarding the northern border, but the matter further involves Long Xiang. , and Lucia's layout and planning of the sensitive group, the Sons of Ominous Omen, are much more serious than the disturbing mess of the New Party.

So Lucia wrote to Lance Shanks very early to discuss this matter, but she considered that she was too far away, and the news was delayed for several days, and the matter would eventually be delayed. Still within the controllable range, let Lucia make his own decisions throughout the process.

As for herself, she compressed all the affairs at hand to the limit, and ran around the ancient dragon temples in various places in the Golden Dynasty almost day and night, and then rushed back to the capital without stopping, just to cover the way if necessary West Asia platform——but when she arrived, she suddenly realized that it seemed no problem to let this guy make his own decisions. This wave of integrating all the forces at hand surprised her a little, but the current situation is too big, right?
Lucia swallowed a sip of warm tea, and stared quietly at Lance Shanks with a pair of eyes. The pure white priest robe was still spotless. The exhaustion and worry between them really can't be covered up.

In the past ten years, she has borne the ups and downs of the Gulong Dynasty on her shoulders. Now that she has appeared, it seems that the burden on her has not been lightened, but has become heavier.

Thinking of this, his already depressed mood this night could not help but darken a bit.

"The soldiers besieging the Duke's mansion were well done," Lance Shanks suddenly opened his lips lightly, but to Lucia's expectation, what she said was not a blame but a compliment.

"Using the Golden Knight to deal with the Duke of the Golden Dynasty is much better in terms of effect and influence than directly dispatching the Storm Knight or the Ancient Dragon Knight. It is also appropriate to use one's own people to search the secret vault. No one can fault it."

"Speaking of which, among the ten demigods in the present world, except for Godwin you haven't seen and Greco who can't support the wall with mud, the others seem to have become your friends without knowing it, even Meng Gete and Meng Ge Brothers can fight side by side together."

She smiled and shook her head slightly, and said, "It seems that your growth is much faster than my wildest prediction."

"However—" she held her chin, looked slightly sideways at Lucia, and said, "In my opinion, do you still think this speed is too slow?"

That's right, long before Lucia was born, she had been in the muddy water of Rodel for more than ten years. How could she not see the deeper layers behind his actions tonight? meaning?
For the single dragon feast, the ancient dragon dynasty killed more than a thousand spellcasters and dragon feasters for thousands of years. It is one thing to make Duoris and even the Golden Dynasty pay the price. It is a completely different matter to block the duke's mansion and overthrow the gambling games, festivals, and even the King's Capital Gladiator Association behind it.

It seems that a few demigods came here with the general trend and accomplished all this effortlessly, but in fact, he was one step ahead and caught all the golden nobles by surprise by virtue of the first-mover advantage, which caused the current situation.

But the real test is yet to come. The two His Majesties who have remained silent during this incident and who are condescending in the Hall of Eternity are the arbiters of where Rodel will go tomorrow morning, and only they can affirm. One side is the real winner tonight.
