Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 154 Anger
On the way back to the Temple of the Ancient Dragon, Fur Sanks was in a state of turmoil.

He didn't think he was at fault. As far as Long Xiang was concerned, he didn't completely deny Lucia's decision. On the contrary, he also supported the other side's earlier opinion on the Duoris family's robbery, but he didn't want to go any further. Do things completely.

In the final analysis, Lucia's own strength is still not worth mentioning, and the foundation within the Cologne Dynasty is not stable, so rashly making enemies with the old and new parties and even the entire golden aristocratic system, what is it if it is not rash and aggressive?
What's more, he didn't believe in the bottom of his heart that Lucia had the slightest chance of defeating Greco. The ancient dragon royal family was born with a nearly infinite lifespan, which was commensurate with a growth rate that was much slower than that of humans.

For example, Mugram, the current chief of Kalia, was vulnerable to his sister and himself when he visited Sky City more than 20 years ago. During the Battle of Moon Tree, he has grown into a top powerhouse who can evenly compete with Radagon.Another example is in the battle of Nagarjuna, when I was over 600 years old, I still didn't have the slightest advantage against the "golden" Godwin who was under 30 years old, and even lost half a move after a few days of consecutive battles.

There are countless such precedents in the history after the Forbidden War. No matter how high Lucia's pedigree is, no matter how miraculous the supreme egg is, it is impossible for him to grow beyond common sense and catch up with a person who has practiced for more than ten years in only half a year. The golden demigod, right?

If it really happened according to his temperament, and on the day when the two demigods duel face to face under the eyes of all the people, not only Lucia's own confidence and glory would be lost, but also the dignity of the entire ancient dragon dynasty.

The sound of horseshoes echoed in the empty streets in the middle of the night, and before you knew it, the bronze gate of Rodel's Ancient Dragon Temple appeared at the end of the square. Fur Sanks pulled the rein slightly to slow down the horse, and saw the bronze gate from a distance. Suddenly, a gap was opened, and the dim light of the candle flames faintly flowed out of it.

As we approached, a middle-aged priestess carrying a lamp came out from the door, bowed slightly to Fur Sanks, and said, "Priest Fur, please follow me to the Ancient Dragon Cathedral, Lord Lance has already I have been waiting for you there for a long time."

Fur Sanks is quite familiar with the visitors. Apart from the two ancient dragon priests, this Karen priest from Fam Yazra Sky Temple can basically be regarded as the oldest and highest-ranking existence in the temple, and is also the elder sister. The most trusted subordinates and comrades in arms.

"Priest Karen." He considered his words, and tentatively said, "What do you mean my sister has been waiting for me for a long time? I made a temporary decision to rush back to the capital tonight. Could it be that she hasn't rested so late? "

The priestess turned her head and glanced at Fursanks, and said, "Lord Lance was going to rest—until His Royal Highness's personal guard Captain Guirel came to the temple and reported to her what you did not long ago .”

"What?" Fol Sanks felt his whole body choked, and he planned to discuss with his sister tomorrow that the elders and attendants beside His Highness were too conniving, why did one of them come to sue him first?

Calculating the time, that guy almost just retreated from the living room, and he came running non-stop to make a small report within 5 minutes, right?
But with her sister's usual tricks, what kind of muscle did she make wrong to think that her sister would mess around with them!

"Priest Furr—"

These thoughts were still circling in Furshanks' mind, but Priest Karen sighed softly beside him, and said, "I don't know whether to say that you stayed with Prince Godwin for too long, or return to Prince Godwin. Rodel's time is too short, but you really don't understand our Highness."

"I don't think you have seen the elders Murrell and Yatok tonight, right? At the request of His Royal Highness Lucia, they have been monitoring the outside of the Duoris mansion and the underground secret vault until now, in case His Highness Godwin Or there will be another disturbance from the real sect. If you can see how much they respect His Highness, you won't be so rude."

Hearing Lucia's arrangement for the two elders of the Dragon Clan, Forsanks was touched for a moment, but when Karen criticized him for being rude, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Where am I being rude, I obviously did it for Did he think about it?"

"Lucia has only been king for less than half a year, and I don't know what ecstasy soup has been poured into you. Everyone can't even analyze the basic interests. If you really think about him and the ancient dragon dynasty, you shouldn't—"

"Priest Fur," Karen interrupted Fur Sanks, "you don't need to convince me, in fact, I shouldn't tell you so much, lest Lord Lance think I'm too troublesome .”

While debating, the two had already reached the entrance of the Gulong Cathedral. Fur Sanks was still full of depression, but Priest Karen showed him a sympathetic look and said, "Please come in. If you have any opinions, please let me know." Go talk to Lord Lance."

Just go in!
Fur Sanks stiffened his neck, angrily pushed open the wooden door carved with ancient dragon patterns, and strode in.

Priest Karen looked at his stiff back, couldn't help curling his mouth, and closed the church door from behind with his hand.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door closing from behind, Fur Sanks felt his heart tighten for no reason. When he walked through the corridor at the entrance and stepped into the sermon hall in the center of the church, the palpitations seemed to turn into In fact, huge pressure came from all directions, almost crushing him.

Just a hundred steps away, the existence he respects, loves, and fears the most in this world—the older sister Lance Shanks is wearing the familiar pure white priest robe, with an extremely rare and undignified expression Sitting recliningly on the pulpit at the end of the church.

She hugged her left knee with one hand, her slender right leg was hanging in the air, quietly looking up at the ceiling above her head, where a huge relief of His Majesty the dragon god Helaris was engraved, and the background was a vast starry sky.

"Find a seat wherever you want." Lance Shanks said indifferently, but he never restrained the terrifying power of the dragon that overwhelmed the entire church.

Fur Sanks swallowed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not tired, just stand."

Lance Shanks shrugged and didn't say anything more, just still quietly looking up at the statue of Helaris.

Fur Sanks behind her didn't dare to take any action, and didn't even dare to speculate on her sister's intentions, so she just shut up and stood there waiting for her to be dealt with.

I don't know how long this tense silence lasted. Just when Fur Sanks was about to lose his hold, he finally heard Lance Shanks say:

"On July 46th, 40th year of the Golden Calendar, the Sky City Mission was attacked by the Godskin apostle. The Dragon Warrior and the Storm Knight killed 22 people and seriously injured [-] people. Lucia was assassinated by a Godskin nobleman, and then confronted briefly The queen of death who descended into that nobleman—where were you then?"

"I"

"You are serving as the vanguard general of the Blazing Sun Legion, leading the army to besiege the Sacrifice Bridge occupied by the demi-human rebels."

"On July 46th, [-]th year of the Golden Calendar, the Sky City mission was intercepted and provoked by the Rodel knights in front of the Didus elevator. The two elders joined hundreds of dragon warriors and storm knights to fight together. Lucia was thinking about the overall situation. , didn’t draw the sword out of its sheath until the last moment—where were you at that time?”

"If I remember correctly, that day you broke through the Sacrifice Bridge and beheaded three rebel generals in one battle. It was really unstoppable." Lance Shanks laughed softly.

"In October, Queen Malika set up a plan to transfer me away from the capital, and Lucia was invited by Radagon to go to the shore of Lake Rodel to mediate the conflict when the duel between Lataen and Mikaela was about to break out. Princess Marenia successfully suppressed the curse of corruption, and at the same time gained the favor of Radagon and Kalia—at that time, you were with Godwin and were on your way to the city of Moen."

"Just a few days ago, Lucia and the three demigods Lataen, Lani, and Michaela acted together to save the child named Freya before the Duoris family held the dragon feast ceremony, and then went to The Eternal Palace negotiated with Malika and Radagon to finalize the disposal of the murderer, shut down all arenas that persecute non-human races within the Golden Dynasty, and relocate Mengget, Mengge, and more than [-] sons of evil omens to three islands in the East China Sea. item."

"After learning that the heretical sect behind the Dragon Feast Ceremony is the Mother of Truth, he didn't want to make any compromises with the minions of the foreign gods, so he demanded a heavier punishment and exiled the Duoris family to the border. As for the duel you mentioned, heh—"

Lance Shanks sneered, "It was your best friend who mobilized secretly to direct and act out a scene in which the Duke was attacked and injured, in order to coerce Earl Rothschild not to support Lucia, otherwise Calvin Duoris would have been killed." Put on handcuffs and shackles with his damned clansmen and roll off to eat dirt in the wilderness."

"Where were you then?"

"In Godwin's barracks, you self-righteously believe that the only son of His Majesty Platon Sanks and His Majesty Heraris, the only demigod of the ancient dragon dynasty, and your lord is a reckless, impatient, and ignorant child, Probably patted your chest and assured Godwin that you would rush back to the capital to persuade him to rein in the precipice and focus on what you call the overall situation, right?"

"Sister, I'm not."

"The overall situation—what is the overall situation?!"

A black-red dragon thunder full of disillusionment flashed across, and Lance Shanks crossed a hundred steps as if distorting the space, and instantly appeared in front of his brother with a pale face. The dragon's claws grabbed Foer Shanks' collar lifted him up into the air.

Blazing thunder flashed in her pupils, and her breath was like magma in the depths of a volcano. She said in a frosty voice: "Tell me, the overall situation is to bow your knees in fear, and consider yourself a dwarf in the face of the golden lineage. You shouldn’t have the courage to fight a fair fight; or should you hope that Godwin will rule the world and become the new king who can treat countless races equally in the face of the three dynasties, and then restrain his wings and crawl at the foot of the golden tree for generations?”

"I never questioned Lucia's qualifications to become the master of Sky City," Furshanks gritted his teeth, "but he still needs a long time to grow. Besides Godwin, who else has—"

"Shut up."

A terrifying divine power full of destructive aura poured out from Lance Shanks' fingers and claws, instantly blocking [-]% of the divine power in Fur Sanks' body, and then threw him to the ground.

"Compared to Lucia, you are more like the reckless, impatient and self-righteous guy in your mouth - who do you want to say besides Godwin who is qualified to be the king of the next era?"

She looked down at her brother who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, with a mocking arc on the corner of her mouth, and said: "In my eyes, if Lucia is given another 20 years, Godwin doesn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent."

"Stop shivering on the ground like a dehydrated fish, stand up—" she said, "I'll prove it to you tonight."
