Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 188 Invitation

"Why are you so reckless!" In the magic research room, Lani tugged on Lucia's sleeve with a small hand, and said with a worried face, "Valanis is the second priest under Beta's command, and you beat her like that as soon as you came. Beta's vengeful character will definitely get you into trouble!"

Lucia didn't struggle, let her pull her and said, "It's just a running dog who can't tell how much I am. If she isn't killed, I'm already saving face for Beta—besides, even if he doesn't trouble me, I will trouble him."

Lani was slightly taken aback, looked up into his eyes, blinked and said, "What have you heard?"

"I just came back from Teacher Otaupis," Lucia shrugged, "Including but not limited to the shitty things He did in Kalia in the early years, chasing and killing your teacher in the past three years, and not returning to the capital Just issue an edict to prevent you from participating in the magic conference and most importantly, I hope you stay away from me."

He said that the first half was okay, but when he heard the last sentence, Lani withdrew her arm holding his sleeve and said with a blushing face, "I didn't get close to you, okay! He just meddles in his own business, why not You are also being sentimental!"

Lucia smiled lightly when he heard the words. In recent years, he has already known Lani's temper like the back of his hand. At this time, she would be angry if she admitted that she was passionate, and would embarrass her by forcefully exposing her. Therefore, he did not refute at all, but just enjoyed the moonlight The naive attitude of the princess.

Seeing his look like a hob, Lani rolled her lips and gave him a blank look, turned around and jumped onto her high chair, stretched out her hand again, and used her magic hand to rummage through the pile of debris in the corner of the laboratory. He took out another chair, threw it behind Lucia, and hummed softly, "Sit down."

Lucia looked back at the chair that happened to be a few inches lower than Lani, and sat down without saying a word—anyway, the difference in the height of the chair is made up by her height, so it's not a problem.

"Lani, what I heard from Mr. Ortapis is just rumors after all. I want to hear your own opinion. What kind of existence is Beta?" He shook his head and cut to the point.

"I have never been in contact with Alpha, but he is obviously very different from the other three envoys. Whether it is the unusual desire for power and control, or the attitude and means of facing you, they are far from a double Refers to the reasonable category of divine envoys."

Lani lowered her head and said after a long silence: "Actually, I didn't know that I awakened the primordial magic power when I was six years old. It was also at that time that I was canonized as the first God-man of the Golden Age by the Supreme Will. The winter of the 40th year of the Golden Era , I met Beta for the first time in the Royal Court of Kalia."

"At that time, He gave me a very strange feeling. At that time, my mother and the Mugram knight were with me. There was nothing wrong with the whole canonization ceremony. He also perfectly performed everything that the two-fingered angel faced the god-man. Etiquette, but maybe my innate talent for perception played a role. I can clearly perceive that He wants to control me very much, just like a magician facing his golem—from behavior to flesh, From personality to even soul, He wants to control everything about me."

"You also know that the ancestors of our Kalia royal family are descendants of the Eternal Capital from the Xingyue era. The monarchs of all dynasties believed in the March God and chose one of the March as their source of power. My mother chose the full moon, and I It's Dark Moon. Although I haven't established my own legal direction, no matter what, I will not believe in the Golden Tree, let alone tinker with the Golden Law and treat it as the next step. law of the age."

She sighed faintly, and said: "I don't know if this is the root cause of Beta's dislike of me. Maybe in his eyes, a god who doesn't believe in gold is a heresy in this prosperous world, so he tried everything possible." Fix 'my thoughts."

"In the past years, he tried his best to expand his party in Kalia. In the early years, his mother was not seriously ill, and his actions were restrained. Those potential unstable elements in the royal court did not dare to act rashly, but later, their behavior became more and more serious. It is blatant, especially in the three years since the three of us came to Rodel, at least one-third of the nobles in the dynasty have become his vassals."

Lucia nodded heavily. He was in a similar situation to Lani, so he could fully understand the key points.

Since the death of the High Priest of Gulan Shanks in the Battle of Nagarjuna, Sky City has also fallen into a predicament similar to that of Kalia. They are all in a dangerous stage of failure.

Kalia has a large and unstoppable Rhyallucaria Academy of Magic, and the ancient dragon dynasty also has the Senate and the Council of Presbyterians. At this time, a golden dynasty rose in the sky. It is perfectly normal for some traitors to seek glory from the Lord.

If it wasn't for Fam Yazra, the two ancient dragon priests Lance Shanks and Fur Sanks, and the twelve Kalia knights headed by the Sky Temple, Kalia, and Mugram, Perhaps the two great dynasties have already fallen apart under the weight of the Golden Tree.

"My first teacher—the Snow Witch whose name I don't know until now, I can guess that she is also an eternal survivor," Lani thought for a while and continued, "And with Kalia, Selia, etc. The nation that rebuilt its homeland shortly after the end of the Star-Moon Era is different, she is likely to come from the real eternal capital, that is, the city of thousands of races that was said to be buried underground in the Forbidden War."

"With the help of the Full Moon Goddess, my mother comprehended the full moon magic beyond Kalia's inheritance, and I came into contact with the Dark Moon Goddess under the guidance of my teacher, and realized the cold magic that belongs to the Dark Moon. It was from that time From now on, I am determined to use the power of the dark moon as the foundation to establish a new set of laws that do not depend on the operation of Elden's ring, so that all spirits in the world can be born and die freely without being bound by the law."

"Beta regards this as a taboo. He has refuted my ideas more than once, and even sent followers to kill the teacher, and tried to marry me with the golden nobleman, and bound my footsteps with family and blood—because he is the apostle of the supreme will , Standing behind him is the golden tree that pierces the heavens and the earth and the entire golden dynasty, so every word he says can represent the oracle, and if it is violated, it is heresy."

She turned her head away, smiled sadly or relievedly, and said, "I should thank you, Lucia. If you hadn't defeated brother Rataen three years ago and let us stay in the capital, I might not have been so short-lived." You are not entitled to the freedom you have. When I first met you, I complained about this matter to you, but now I feel "

"This is the happiest time in my life." Lani looked at Lucia and said with a gentle smile on her lips.

It was obvious that she had been trying her best to hide the melancholy between her brows since the latter entered the door, but the slightly quivering corners of her mouth still exposed her uneasy state of mind, and those blue and clear star pupils were unconsciously moist.

"Whether Beta regards me as a rebel or a heretic, I will not let him implicate you in these things. If you can't go to the magic conference, you can't go. There will always be a chance to go back in the future. As for us"

She raised her small face and blinked quickly, trying to get rid of the falling crystal, "Just like you said when you said goodbye to Priest Lance in Port Rhoderia, the life of an ancient dragon is very long, and the life of a god-man The lifespan is not short, the big deal is that we—”

"Lani."

Lucia, who had been listening quietly, interrupted her, looked up into her eyes and said, "This is different."

"If we shoulder our respective missions, it won't matter if we wait another hundred or thousand years, because we are the gods who bear the fate of all people, the successors of Kalia and Fam Yazra, and the blood flowing through us We are doomed to have an inescapable responsibility."

Just like in the moonlit starry night in the previous life, he put on the dark moon ring for her, and the farewell after she gave him the dark moon sword at the bottom of the Manus Celis Cathedral—she was going to go outside the sky Seeing An Yue restore the law, he will go to the king's capital to kill the gods with a mortal body, and prove to the world that he is qualified to be king.

But this time, it's different.

"But this time, I'm sorry I can't accept it, and it's impossible to accept it—" he said indifferently, "Now, I invite you to accompany me to the magic conference held in Rhea Lucaria on June [-]th, you Don't you want to?"

Lani was stunned by his aura for a moment, shrugged her shoulders involuntarily, and said in a daze, "I, I am willing."

"Then there's no problem." Lucia got up and went straight to the door, "I'll take care of everything, and I'll send another team of storm knights to station in front of the temple. You can study magic here with peace of mind, and you don't have to meet anyone you don't want See you."

Before leaving the door, he paused slightly, turned his back to Lani and said in an extremely calm tone: "Beta has only two fingers left, if he dares to reach out again, I will make him the first one-finger in the Golden Age."
