Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 138 Staggered
"Of course." Lucia exhaled slowly, feeling relieved.

The queen's mental coercion just now is too shocking, and I'm afraid it is not inferior to his state in the memory battlefield.

Although the queen seemed to have returned to her previous calm state, Lucia had no doubt that she was still in an extremely dangerous situation in the following conversation.

Queen Malika was slightly taken aback when she heard his calm answer, but her tone was still cold: "So, who gave you the courage to openly propose to take away her child in front of a mother?"

"Or, because you sympathized with what happened to those two children, you thought it was me who abandoned them, so you wanted to decide their fate as a savior?"

Lucia shook his head and said: "16 years ago, under the pressure of Rodel's millions of people, His Majesty had no choice but to announce that the Son of Omen was exiled to the underground waterway. These old things are not secret, and I have no intention of using them to comment on Your Majesty at will. Competent as a mother. On the contrary, I have three reasons to prove to Your Majesty that this proposal is a good thing for both of you and me."

"Say."

"First, the dispute between the old and new parties in your country has continued to this day. It has long been not only a rivalry between the two major political factions, but its essence has deepened into a conflict between two ideas, two consciousnesses, and two interpretations of the Golden Law. Although there are a lot of antagonisms in this kind of conflict, there are also many natural evolutions formed in the changing situation that are completely unified for both sides."

"Some old things and old fashions that were once frantically pursued by the people of gold are already out of date today, and they will become an obstacle to the prosperity of the Golden Dynasty in the future, no matter for His Majesty and the old party, or for His Majesty Radagon and As far as the new party is concerned, these evolutions are the trend of the times and cannot be stopped-this point, surely His Majesty also agrees?"

"I can't deny this," the queen sighed slightly. "You brought it up at this time, it must be aimed at the decades-long wrestling in our court. The former King Ge Frey strongly praised this move. He was not keen on barbarism. It’s just that the Golden Dynasty was still in the pioneering era of expansion, and force and conquest must be the main theme above everything else.”

"However, today, if the gladiatorial competition continues, it will only evolve into meaningless cruelty and depravity. Incidentally, this will completely lead to blood feuds between us and many non-human races. Therefore, just talking about the 'abolition of the arena' you mentioned 'If you discuss it, neither Ladagang nor I will object, and it can even be said that what you and Lataen have done is an excellent opportunity."

Lucia smiled slightly when she heard the words, nodded and said, "Then Your Majesty and I have at least reached a consensus on the first reason."

"Tell me about the remaining two reasons," the queen said noncommittally, "this one alone is far from enough."

"Secondly, it is exactly what His Majesty mentioned earlier—the so-called 'their fate'."

"The nature of the 'curse blood' and 'curse power' that Rodel spoke of, I believe His Majesty knows better than me. Although we cannot determine the source of the blessings of those melting pots, including the two princes Menggot and Meng, All the children of evil omens are indeed filled with the power of the furnace, it is not the curse of some evil god, let alone a sign of disaster."

"So," Lucia took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice, "who is qualified to define them so viciously, and who is qualified to determine their fate from the day they were born, and let a group of talented people Extraordinary children who should have a free life are doomed to linger in the smelly and damp sewers? Above their heads, millions of human beings from the same origin desperately curse them to death—including their parents, There are their brothers and sisters, and they deserve to die just because of their bodies and appearances that are different from ordinary people?"

At the end of the sentence, perhaps due to the ups and downs of his mood, he unconsciously carried a trace of divine power in his voice, so that the tone of his voice became more vigorous and passionate, echoing endlessly in the originally silent night.

However, the queen didn't care about his "gaffe" and instead fell into an unprecedented silence.

Lucia's clear and handsome figure was reflected in her blue eyes, and she was a little disillusioned for a moment—it was only a cup of tea before and after, and Malika found that her judgment on this young ancient dragon had changed several times, and in the end she was somewhat disappointed. The feeling of not wearing.

When talking with her here alone, she thought that the other party had only grown a little compared to the first battle at the lakeside, and Lance also deliberately pushed him to the front of the stage to hone his skills. However, as the conversation deepened, she gradually felt that the truth was true. Lucia herself is the core of all the vicissitudes tonight.

When Lucia proposed not to kill Duoris, but asked to move all the alien races in Rodel to the ancient dragon dynasty, Malika suddenly felt a strong sense of vigilance and disgust.

After calming down a little bit, she immediately realized why the hostility surged out at that moment - from this young man who was supposed to be passionate, pure, clear about love and hate, and easy to control, she smelled something similar to herself.

It is a mixture of conspiracy, deceit, desire for power and ambition, and the whole body exudes the will not to be reduced to a pawn and be controlled by others, but to break free from the shackles and leap above all things. It is daunting and makes people want to vomit .

But when he asked the phrase "They deserve to die?", Malika was a little at a loss again. With her mental perception, it was too easy to tell the truth of Lucia's emotions, precisely because the words contained Her emotions were so real that she was even more overwhelmed.

This time he is not like her, but like the old enemy who has been fighting with her for a hundred years. I can't remember how many years ago, that person once sat in front of him like this, it's just the words of that person It was sharper and colder, and the topics they were arguing about far exceeded this level of petty disputes.

The two seemingly diametrically opposite temperaments, which are incompatible with each other, appeared in one person at the same time. Malika even felt a little unbelievable. Is this really a young demigod who is the same age as her children?

Or is it that the mighty power of Platon Shanks and Helaris far exceeded my expectations, and the next generation of sky city masters who inherited the blood of the Dragon King and Dragon God should be born so extraordinary?

She breathed a sigh of relief, reconciled her chaotic thoughts, and said, "It seems that you don't define yourself as a condescending savior like I said."

"At least for Menggot and Meng, I'm their friend—" Lucia said with downcast eyes, "That's all."

"Are you a friend?"

The Queen's eyes fell to the bedroom where she lived, and she remembered that there was an old first edition of the Law Book next to her bed. Under the title page was supposed to be the supreme ring pattern, but she sandwiched two pages Poorly drawn illustrations.

The Otaupian knights were not good at calligraphy and painting, so the two portraits, as rough as children's scribbles, were drawn by Montgothet and Montgomery for their brothers, and were handed over to her by their common teacher.

Two little bastards with horns all over their bodies, how can they look like me or your father.

On the contrary, this ancient dragon also has horns on its head, so it is so easy to become friends with others?
"Maybe it's their luck to have a friend like you?" The queen pondered for a while, and said with some interest.

"I agree with this matter."

She glanced at Lucia's surprised eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Don't look at me like that. If I change the time and the situation, I probably won't agree, but at this moment, I suddenly feel that, Those two reasons are enough."

"Still—I want to hear your last reason."

The queen blinked, looked at Lucia with great interest, and said, "You have brought me enough surprises today, I want to see how far this kind of surprise can go?"

　ps.1. In the previous article, Silurya is indeed a woman in her own setting, and "he" is a typo, which has been modified.However, this is not clearly defined as a woman in the original work. The English version of "her" should be a subjective guess based on the pronunciation of the original Japanese version. Clarify gender orientation.Of course, it is set as a female in this article, so you don't have to worry about it. 2. The update problem. I have been really busy recently. When I made the update plan in March, I didn’t expect so many troubles during this period, and it didn’t happen in the end. I would like to apologize to everyone.Now it seems that the main body of the project will be completed in April, and the defense will be held in May. I can’t guarantee the speed and frequency of updates in the near future, but what I can guarantee is that this book will definitely be finished.At present, it has been confirmed that after graduation, I will engage in novel writing work full-time, and may work in related units, but the job content is to write novels, so you don't have to worry about whether the author will be more busy looking for a job later and cut the book.

　　3. All in all, I hope that everyone will take care of it in the next two months. If you can spare time to update faster, you will try your best. If it is too slow, please keep the book. It will never be cut.
