Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 185 Beta
Leaving the Valyrian Hall, Lucia drove straight to the Huiyao Hall where the private school of the royal family was located.

After the carriage came out of the Golden Temple and passed through two blocks in the upper city, it arrived at this magnificent building adjacent to Rodel's Great Library.

The overall style of the auditorium is extremely simple and rigid. The entrance is a giant black steel gate with a height of 12 meters. Great view.

This was originally the guest house where Ge Fulei, the first king of gold, received heroes from all over the world. Because Ge Fulei himself is extremely heroic and martial, the Huiyao Auditorium is different from the luxurious and comfortable layout of general welcome places. Instead, there are weapon arsenals and fighting arenas everywhere. .

After Ge Fulei and the Eastern Expeditionary Corps were exiled, the auditorium remained vacant for more than ten years. It was not until the royal private school opened that the Eternal Queen Marika specially approved it as the main campus of the private school.

In the past three years, Lucia and others spent most of their time practicing various combat skills, prayers, magic, military and political strategies, culture and art here.With the full support of Queen Malika regardless of cost, the most prestigious knights, fighters, mages, and scholars from the three dynasties and even many overseas city-states came here one after another, trying their best to impart their knowledge and skills.

Except for the six and a half gods, the students in the private school are the essence of the young generation of the entire Golden Dynasty. With such a strong faculty and the strict management of Ordopis, who is the principal, teaching students according to their aptitude, geniuses in various fields have sprung up like mushrooms If only in terms of the quality and quantity of talents, this generation of young people is definitely better than their parents.

Entering the auditorium, Lucia did not rely on her status to drive straight in. Instead, she asked people to park the carriage in an open space not far from the gate, and walked all the way in. It took a quarter of an hour to pass through most of the campus and arrive at the entrance of Ortapis. Principal room.

The layout of the principal's room is extremely simple, except for the central desk and bookcase and a set of sofa and coffee table, there is no other decoration. The set of red gold heavy armor that symbolizes the identity of the chief of the furnace knight hangs in a corner of the room, leaning against an extremely wide and heavy giant sword.

Otaupis was only wearing an old shirt that was washed white, and under the rolled up cuffs were well-defined muscles. Even if he was just sitting there quietly reviewing documents, his whole person exuded an invisible and aloof aura , as awe-inspiring and inviolable as a mountain.

"Principal, are you looking for me?" Lucia looked at the old man and nodded slightly while performing the discipleship ceremony.

"Ah, Your Highness Lucia," Ordopis put the quill in his hand back into the ink bottle, and also nodded in greeting, "Sit down as you please."

After that, he got up and poured two cups of black tea, and handed one cup to Lucia. He sat on the opposite sofa with the teacup in his hands, lifted the lid and took a sip, narrowed his eyes and smiled in the mist that filled the air. Smiling, he said, "Hurry up and try it. This is the new tribute tea from the Dennis Islands last week. It's just like Victorik's wine. It's a must."

Lucia smiled lightly, took a sip of the teacup familiarly, and said, "The tea is good tea, but it's still a bit worse than what you invited me to drink last time and the last time - it seems that Dennis was also the last time. Is your tea here?"

"Disgusting!" Autopis rolled his eyelids and said, "Tea also depends on the month. Although Dennis's climate is mild and the seasons are like spring, the tea is still the best in the ten days from the end of March to the first ten days of April. Now It’s nice to have something to drink.”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Principal, for your hospitality!" Lucia shrugged and said as she dealt with the errand.

Ordopis ignored him, and didn't put down the cup until he drank all the tea, and said in a bad mood: "It's not once or twice that you come to my place to drink tea. This time, you look like you owe you money, because you guessed that I What am I going to tell you?"

"I can't guess the specifics, but there is nothing good anyway - you said earlier that you would organize a study tour in the summer, as an experience before the completion of the royal private school, but unfortunately the northern border is now a burning powder keg, which may explode at any time , Westland has that group of magicians who refuse to stop for a moment, even if I like it at Ningmgfu, His Highness Godwin has to stop me from going to the last place where there is only one peace of mind. But if you go there, you don't need to talk to me today, do you?"

"You!" Ordopis was also a little speechless for a while. After thinking about it, he stopped making detours. He got up and took an invitation letter from the desk, threw it in front of Lucia along the table, and said, "See for yourself. Bar."

Lucia took it and saw that the cover of the invitation letter was made of unknown material. It felt cold and smooth to the touch, and at the same time showed a hazy blue light. The starry sky emblem representing Rhea Lucaria Academy was engraved in the center of the cover.

"Invitation to the magic conference—six demigods, private students, golden royal magicians, plus Selia and free magicians from all over the mainland. Oh, what a great deal!"

Lucia threw the invitation letter on the table casually, and said calmly, "Since His Majesty Renara was seriously ill, these people have been holding back for so long, and finally there is some disturbance."

"I originally thought that there would be at least a few more years for the academy to dare to make such a test because of the group of mature and prudent origin factions. By then, the three His Royal Highnesses of Kalia would probably have returned, so naturally there would be no trouble," said Ortapis He said lightly, "But I didn't expect that they would be so impatient, and the authority of the Origin Sect in the academy is far less firm than I imagined."

"Just yesterday, the Mugram knight's handwritten letter was also sent to me. Kalia acquiesced in the academy's presumptuousness. What they meant was to allow the three highnesses Lataen, Lakad and Lani to participate in the meeting. A lesson for a group of ignorant magicians, lest they think that Kalia has no successors."

"That's what I mean," said Ortapis, "I plan to send those private students who are only proficient in prayer or military strategy to the northern tutelary fortress, and your six Highnesses will go to the Western Continent together with the rest of the students who are proficient in magic. , just to use it as the final travel training.”

Lucia was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and said with a puzzled expression: "This arrangement is very good. If this is the case, you don't need to discuss it with me, right?"

"The problem is precisely here." A rare look of hesitation appeared on the heroic and resolute face of Ortapis, "I just got the news half a day ago that Her Majesty Lani's envoy, Lord Two Fingers Beta, is about to return to the capital. Before my side could reply to the academy's invitation, the two-fingered priest sent his edict."

"Beta?" Lucia knew that this was the second two-finger angel, which was the code name of the two-finger behind Lani.

If there is no accident, this is probably the guy who was twisted into twists by Lani countless times with a hunting finger knife in the basement of Manus Celis Cathedral in his previous life.

"What did he say?"

"Master Beta means that he does not want His Royal Highness Lani to participate in this magic conference."
