Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 153 Meeting
When Lucia was awakened softly by Guerrell, she was still in a state of ignorance. After listening for a long time, she said: "You mean that Priest Fuer has rushed back to the capital overnight and is asking for an audience in the living room?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Guerrell said with joy on his face, "I heard that Priest Fur not only left Prince Godwin and the Blazing Sun Legion behind in a hurry to return to see you, but also didn't even bother to go back to the ancient dragon. The temple came just once, and I thought that you must have not fallen asleep not long after you lay down, so I hurried to call you."

In the end, the young captain of the personal guard probably realized how outrageous what he just said, so he stuck out his tongue embarrassingly, and skillfully hugged his head and hung it down, waiting for His Highness to knock his head and educate himself again.

What she didn't expect was that His Highness was not angry at all this time, but sat up straight away, quickly put on the clothes outside the nightgown, and asked at the same time: "Are you familiar with Priest Foer when you were in Sky City? What are your hobbies in diet and life?"

"Ah?" Guerrell froze for a moment, rubbed his head and replied: "It's quite familiar, the combat skills and prayers of Eggkiss and I were taught by two priests personally - nothing in life, Foer The priest has always been very casual, and for this reason he has been beaten by the priest of Lance, and in terms of diet, he is not interested in those exquisite palace delicacies at all, but he likes barbecue very much."

"Go and tell the kitchen to prepare immediately," Lucia ordered while straightening the skirts, "Let them bake it and send it directly to the living room. Priest Fur must be tired from traveling all the way, so the banquet will be skipped."

"Yes." Just as Guerrell agreed, he saw His Highness rushing towards the front hall with brisk steps, almost trotting.

On the other side, Fur Sanks was holding a teacup, chewing and swallowing the tea together with the tea while drinking the tea. While waiting for Lucia, he was also summing up in his heart the journey he had made after entering the palace gate. perception.

The number of maids and servants was basically kept at a minimum to maintain the normal operation of the palace. The furnishings in the palace were not extravagant and wasteful, and many of the inherent gold and silver decorations when the dormitory was built were obviously removed. The overall style showed a simple and capable atmosphere. .

It seems that at least in terms of life style, his prince is much better than Godwin's son - Furshanks thought to himself, but he was still young and energetic, wanting to prove himself too much while not Knowing to leave a way out for herself, she is impatient despite her extraordinary talent, and I don't know if my sister is too busy recently, otherwise how could I sit back and watch the situation escalate to the point where it is today.

While his thoughts were churning, he saw a well-proportioned and tall figure of a young man coming out from the corridor at the back of the palace. Looking at the silver hair shining like frost and snow and the eyes as clear as a icy lake, Forsanks actually felt that it was Hera. His Majesty Reese came out of the portraits passed down from generation to generation in Sky City, and was stunned there for a while.

"If you don't count the time I was still in the dragon egg, Priest Fur, this should be the first time we met." Lucia walked in front of him, nodded with a smile.

"I don't know how to express my feelings to you at this moment, but no matter what - hard work, welcome home."

It is no exaggeration to say that he is really excited now, to be able to see this man who single-handedly fought against "Golden" Godwin in the Battle of Nagarjuna and won ten years of peace for Sky City. For a powerful ancient dragon, especially the ancient dragon royal family with the same name as himself as "Shanks", Lucia once again felt the sense of identity and pride from the depths of his blood.

Since time travel, if one must find a moment that can be compared with this moment, perhaps only sister Lance manifested a dragon body and descended from the sky, when the Golden Knight was suppressed by the Dedas elevator.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Fur Sanks also nodded in greeting, and sat down again under Lucia's guidance.

He rubbed one of his temples, trying to dispel the sense of confusion in his mind that seemed to span time and space. The young man in front of him really perfectly inherited the blood of the two majesties, the Dragon God and the Dragon King. The two seemingly conflicting elements of handsomeness and beauty have been fused to the extreme, presenting a peerless appearance standing at the apex of all living beings - from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to call him the demigod with the highest bloodline in the world.

However, if only this is the case, it is far from enough.

Looking at the other party's expression, Lucia keenly noticed that Fur Sanks' late-night visit was not just to see himself, but obviously had something to say.So he suppressed all the words he wanted to say first, and quietly waited for Furshanks to speak first.

"Your Highness." After a while, Fur Sanks was the first to break the silence and said, "For the matter of the Duoris family's involvement in Longxiang, you finally agreed to fight Greco on the [-]th of this month at the Serrant Arena to determine the outcome." Is there such a thing as the final result of the ruling?"

Lucia was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Fur Sanks to talk about it first, so he nodded and said, "Yes, His Majesty Malika said at the court meeting that Prince Godwin will personally sit in the arena to decide the winner. Negative, you should have received the news when you were in the Blazing Sun Legion, right?"

Fur Sanks shook his head and said, "I came today to persuade His Highness to suspend this duel."

As soon as these words came out, the living room suddenly fell into silence. Even Guerrell, who was excitedly running in with a large plate of barbecue, froze in place. It took him a long time to realize that he put the tray on the coffee table. Only the surface of the barbecue remained in the air. The soft sound of oil blossoms bursting, and the crackling of rosin wood burning in the fireplace.

Seeing that Lucia was silent, but her face looked a little ugly, Fur Sanks frowned, and said, "I know His Highness is doing this to defend the dignity of Fam Yazra, but have you ever thought about losing? What are the consequences for Gregor?"

"Earlier, I also heard about the lakeside battle between Your Highness and His Highness Rataen. It is undeniable that both of you are extremely talented existences among the demigods of this generation - but Greco is different. Although this person has misbehavior, he has Having grown up under the full support of the Golden Dynasty for more than ten years, it is a bit whimsical for His Highness to try to close the gap with only half a year of training."

"Take a step back, even if you win by chance and exile the entire Duoris family to the border, how will you deal with the attacks of countless gold nobles from the old and the new parties?" Fur Sanks' tone gradually increased, "I'm back Earlier, Prince Godwin asked me to persuade His Highness specifically to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the two parties. Even if His Highness is in the position of a god, he thinks he can ignore the hostility of all the golden nobles, but he cannot ignore His Highness Godwin who is about to return. ?”

"In short, no matter whether Your Highness wants to protect the Dragon Clan or prove himself, you shouldn't take such a reckless way. I hope you can calm down and think carefully—to vent your anger and take revenge on the Duoris family, and fight with countless dragons and storms. Compared with the peace bought by the knight's blood, which one is more important or less important?"

Seeing the situation, Guerrell, who was on the sidelines, couldn't bear to listen anymore, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Priest Fur, isn't Your Highness?"

"Stand back, Guerrell," Fursanks reprimanded, "Your Highness is still a child, at a critical stage of growth, you mistake flattery for loyalty, but you don't know that it will only harm him!"

Guerrell's eyes turned red, and he wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Lucia: "Okay, Guerrell—"

He got up and walked to the captain of the personal guard, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head, forced a smile on himself and said, "Thank you, go back and rest first, it's okay on my side."

Seeing the loneliness hidden deep in His Highness's smile, Guerrell's tears welled up in her eyes. After struggling for a moment, she wiped her eyes vigorously, turned around and ran into the inner hall with a stomp.

Seeing the girl's figure go away, Lucia turned her back to Fur Sanks, and said calmly: "Priest Nafur thinks, how should this matter end?"

"Maintain the previous agreement, and suspend the nobles and ransack the house of the Duoris family. This matter ends here," Furshanks slightly raised his head, "His Highness Godwin is about to return to the capital, and he will come forward to cancel this duel. His Highness's reputation There will be no impact."

"No need."

"what?"

Fursanks was a little astonished, "Did your Highness not hear what I just said, it is of no benefit at all, no matter the outcome, you will be an enemy of the entire Golden Dynasty in the future?"

"Maybe the priest didn't hear me clearly," Lucia looked back at Furshanks, her voice was calm and unwavering, "Now I repeat to you—"

"impossible."

He walked to the table and pushed the barbecue plate with knives and forks towards Fursanks, "The priest must have been fighting with Prince Godwin for many days, and it must have been very hard. You might as well have a meal and rest first, and then you can rest here for the night , or directly return to the Ancient Dragon Temple, it is up to you."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even glance at Fur Sanks' face, then turned around indifferently, and went without looking back.
