Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 190 The Secret Meeting
Two refers to the second church, in the side hall dedicated to priests.

The colorful spar tiles reflect the bright light of the pyroxene chandelier, and the black and shiny ebony wood tables and chairs exude a faint fragrance. Even the doctrinal classics displayed on the bookshelf have a gold leaf cover inlaid with precious stones. Everywhere you look, there is a grandeur and luxury far superior to other two-finger churches.

Such a luxurious palace is shrouded in unbearable oppression at the moment. The inner hall where Valenice lives is filled with a strong and pungent smell of medicine, accompanied by her hoarse howling and cursing Whether it is the low-level priests standing outside the temple or the medical officers and maids walking back and forth, they all feel creepy when they are in it.

"Ah—you bloody bitch, do you want me to chop off your claws?" Valenice's bandaged face showed a pair of bloodshot red eyes, and her cracked and bleeding lips moved up and down He stood there, venting out vicious curses all the time.

"Master Priest," the two maids who were in charge of cleaning her wounds turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice, "We...we just want you to recover quickly."

"Hurry up and get out after changing the medicine!" Valenice let out a hoarse roar from her vocal cords, "Get out, get out!"

The maids quickly fled out after cleaning the wound, and only Valenice was left in the room staring blankly at the ceiling in a daze.

Even though her body was already wrapped in bandages like a mummy, black blood stains slowly seeped out from under her skin, making the air around the hospital bed linger with a rotten and stench.

A dragon thunder that Lucia casually lowered instantly scorched one-third of Valenice's skin and burned most of her internal organs. In addition, the last leg sweep that was like a heavy battering ram bombarded her even more. It was the shock that broke more than [-]% of her bones.

If it weren't for the peak healing skills of the Golden King's Capital, and Lucia hadn't killed him after all, I am afraid that the second two-finger priest under Beta's seat would become the first high-ranking two-finger priest to fall in the world.

The silence didn't last long, and the door was knocked lightly again, and a priest's cautious voice came from outside the room: "My lord priest, there are guests outside asking to see you, the matter is urgent, look—"

The fire of resentment that had just been silenced by Valenice ignited once again, "What do you see, I don't see anyone now except Master Beta, tell them to go back where they came from, immediately!"

However, this time, the priest outside the door was not scared away. Instead, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice and replied: "Master Priest, that guest seems to be from the east. Lord Lannis has written before and warned you that you must see him." .”

The ferocious face under the bandages of Valenice suddenly froze, she was silent for a long time like a stone statue, and finally her lips moved slightly, and she said as if letting out a sigh of relief: "Please come in, I will meet you here He, in addition, be vigilant around the room, and no one is allowed to approach around the room."

"Yes."

She stared blankly in the direction of the door. The anger and pain in her heart were suppressed for a moment, replaced by anxiety.

Lannis is the chief priest of Lord Beta, and in terms of status and strength, there is no half-step difference between her and her second seat. He is the real confidant of Lord Beta, and he is also a noble existence that she has to flatter every day.

In other words, what deserves a personal letter from Priest Lannis must be something that Lord Beta attaches great importance to.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. The visitor didn't knock on the door, but just waited quietly at the door.

"Is it a guest from the east?" Valenice struggled to get up and sat on the head of the bed, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a tall figure covered in a cloak walked in, and closed the door casually.

"Didas has only been away for a few days, and I didn't expect to meet again like this." The visitor sneered, and stretched out two big bony hands to take off the hood on his head, "It's really embarrassing, Valais Priest Nith."

Under the hood, there is a face that is very different from that of the people of gold. Under the protruding forehead are deep eye sockets. The high cheekbones lead to sharp facial lines, and then quickly converge downwards to outline a rigid and neat face. jaw line.

This face is obviously weather-beaten over the years, but the ravine-like dense wrinkles did not imbue him with the decadence of the waning sun, on the contrary, there was a vicissitudes and heaviness polished by time.

"Your Excellency Keronisa," Valenis looked at the old man in front of her, took a deep breath and said, "If you just came to laugh at me, then your goal has been achieved."

She gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes and said: "As you can see, this injury has caused at least [-]% of my divine power to permanently drop, and it has almost completely cut off the possibility of me continuing to practice in the future—and this is exactly what Bai It was given by your highness of the ancient dragon clan!"

Kaironisa stared at her injury for a few breaths, and then laughed dumbly: "The priest misunderstood. Although the old man is old, he is not bored enough to come here specially to laugh at a useless person."

His brows were slightly raised, and he said in a leisurely tone: "In other words, the old man may have to thank you. If it weren't for your reckless actions, we would not be able to measure how far Her Highness Lucia has grown."

Valenice felt a surge of anger, and said with tearful eyes, "You—"

"Shut up!" Caeronisa's expression suddenly changed, and she exuded a pressure as heavy as a mountain, which instantly suppressed all Valenis' thoughts of struggle and resistance, "Valenis, you are so stupid. Incomprehensible!”

"I don't understand the sense of honor that running like a crazy wild dog in front of Her Majesty Lani's door and barking and barking can bring you, and I don't even understand why you dare to speak nonsense in front of me after facing Lucia's anger— —However, what really confuses me is how Master Beta would choose such a waste as his second priest, and let you serve as the advance staff who came to the royal capital to convey the edict!"

"Do you know how much risk I took when I bypassed the surveillance of that crazy woman Lance Shanks and avoided the intelligence network arranged by Lucia all over the Golden Dynasty to come to the king's capital?" Kaironisa growled Said, "If it wasn't to show my sincerity to you, why should I leave Fam Yazra, why should I appear here?!"

"But what about you? Is this what you promised to do?"

"Master Beta promised us that he would prevent further contact between Lucia and His Royal Highness Lani, and put an end to the possibility of their marriage, but now the Storm Knights of the Valyrian Palace have already stationed at the gate of the Dark Moon Palace! If it continues, wait until They returned to Kalia together in June and met His Majesty Renara, what else can you do?"

After a storm of cursing, Valenice's face was as pale as paper.

She waited timidly, until she confirmed that Kaironisa had finished pouring out her anger, and then said with difficulty: "Your Excellency, I am injured and cannot move now, please give me some more time, and I promise to complete Master Beta's attack." your promise."

On the other side, Keronisa had already suppressed all her anger, looked at her with a half-smile, shook her head and said, "I don't need your guarantee—in fact, you are not qualified to make a guarantee to me at all. "

"Master Beta will arrive in the capital in the future, right?" he said, "I'm here today just to ask you to be a messenger and report my words to your master—if he can't Prevent Her Highness Lani and Lucia from going to the Westland together, then all the things we promised before will be abandoned, I hope you can do it yourself."

After the words fell, his eyes did not stay on Valenice for a second, he put on the hood again indifferently, turned around and disappeared outside the hall.
