Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 220 Preparations for Departure
"Radagan asked me to keep a distance from you and be more careful about everything——"

Half an hour later, Rakad, who had arrived at the Valyrian Palace, said with disdain. He deliberately put on a serious look on his face as he spoke, imitating Radagan's accent and said: "'I hope you can. Understand that personal friendship can never override the conflict between faith and law. No matter when he returns to Sky City, he will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Golden Dynasty in the future!'"

"Hey, I'm talking about someone who is a close friend. Can you put down my sister's hand first? People are secretly considering you as the second most important enemy in the next 20 years. You are still here drunkenly dreaming about the love between your children!"

Lucia clicked her tongue and said dissatisfied: "What does it mean to live in a dream and die in a dream? I am studying magic books with Lani, okay?"

"Yes, yes, that book "Basic Magic Release Techniques" that is not half as big as your dragon's claw needs to be placed in the middle of the table for the two gods to study side by side and hand in hand? Even turning the pages must be done together. Turn it over, it’s ridiculous.”

On the other side, Lani's crimson cheeks were filled with clouds before she knew it. She slammed the books on the table, turned her head and looked at Racade with a smile, and said: "My dear brother. If you come Just to talk about these meaningless nonsense, I have to accompany you to verify the magic and see if someone has made progress following Radagan recently."

"Hehe, hehe." Lacade smiled dryly and took two steps back, "That's not necessary. I have been busy with official duties recently and have slacked off on my magic practice. Besides, I do have business to see Lucia."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box, threw it casually after a few steps, and said, "Open it and take a look."

Lucia took it and took a look. The surface of the wooden box was engraved with several sealing formations that were obviously from the Kaliya series. The patterns carved around it were mostly based on stars and moons, which were very different from the popular styles of Rodel.

He released an unblocking magic in reverse, and a glimmer of light flashed in the magic circle, and then slowly bounced away from it to both sides. The inside was lined with a layer of exquisite and elegant black velvet, and a piece of black velvet was quietly displayed on it. A moon-white necklace and a pair of pale silver earrings, both exuding gentle yet powerful magic fluctuations.

Lani stared at the jewelry in the wooden box and seemed to understand something instantly. A look of hatred appeared between her eyebrows involuntarily.

"The necklace is made of the finest Cang Yue crystal, and the earrings are made of life amber. Although he didn't have the guts to give his mother a more symbolic gift like a ring, I have to say that Radagon did indeed You're careful." Larcade said calmly.

"However," he changed the topic and said in a cold voice, "A betrayer should have the consciousness of a betrayer. Such hypocritical pretense can only make me feel sick."

Lucia resealed the wooden box and said without changing her expression: "Since the gift cannot be delivered to Her Majesty Lenara, what are you going to do?"

"Throw it into your magic factory and melt it down," Lani said. "Bringing it back will only make mother sad. If we deal with it here, there will be too many people at the Kallia Chamber of Commerce to avoid leaking the news. It's better to just do it here." If you dismantle it into raw materials, you can also use it to produce a few enchanted weapons, which is considered waste utilization."

Seeing that Racade also agreed, Lucia nodded and put the wooden box away and said, "Then let's do it."

He knew that the reason why Larcade came to explain this matter in advance tonight was not only to avoid Michaela and Marlenia, but also to avoid his brother Latarn.

The three brothers and sisters have maintained completely different attitudes towards Radagan since many years ago. Today, this difference has not been bridged, but has become further and further apart like an ever-extending fork in the road.

I just don’t know what the attitude of the Full Moon Queen, who has been suffering from worry for many years in Lienia, towards the King of Elden who has abandoned herself and her children.The Supreme Mage, who used to be the most powerful magician in the world, if he hadn't been trapped by love, wouldn't he be reduced to a puppet under house arrest in the big library of the academy many years later, right?

Larcade took out a handkerchief and wiped his palms. It seemed that he had finally settled a troublesome matter, and said: "Others are fine, but you really have to be careful about Radagan. Compared with when we first came to the royal capital three years ago, , I always feel that he has become weirder. I can't tell what is wrong specifically, but he seems to be further away from the concept of 'mortal'. Every move does not seem to be of his own will, but more like he has been completely reduced to gold. The agent of the law.”

“It can also be seen from the various measures implemented by the New Party in the past two years that their admiration for fundamentalism has reached a pathological level. As the power of the old Party retreats, the hostility and persecution against foreigners in various parts of the Golden Dynasty has also increased. It is far more serious than before, and there are even some voices opposing the Eternal Queen. Your intelligence network is wider than mine, and you should be very aware of these things."

Lucia breathed out slowly and said softly: "It is true. Prince Godwin has been working hard to ease the conflict in recent years, but now it seems that the conflict between the two has turned from an undercurrent under the water to an overwhelming wave. In this Under such a turbulent tide, the power of any individual or faction is insignificant. All we can do now is to accumulate strength and try to protect as many innocent people as possible when the tide overturns."

Lacard nodded slightly and said: "Not to mention the distance, Kallia must not start chaos this time. Only by stabilizing the basics of the Western Region and the Far East can we have enough energy to plan other parts."

As the night got darker, the three of them discussed the trivial matters of the upcoming itinerary, and Rakad went back to the Ludia Hall. As soon as it dawned the next day, the last few demigods to leave for this magic conference Gathered here again.

Except for Lani, who never went back at all, Latarn was the first to come this time. In more than two years, the already tall and extraordinary body of the great prince of Kallia has grown a lot, and his height has almost increased. Reached the height of an adult mountain demon.

He was wearing a set of shabby mercenary-style chainmail, and two black steel swords shaped like broad knives were stuck on the left and right sides of his waist. He was holding a tall horse in his left hand, and he was also holding a horse in his right hand. The pony was obviously much thinner than him.

"Sure enough, he still took the horse with him," Lani said helplessly, holding her forehead.

Lucia beside him was already used to this. In his previous life, he had a deep memory of General Broken Star and his beloved horse. In this life, he had completely witnessed the origin of this legend.

This war horse named "Rio" was a birthday gift personally given to Latarn by Queen Lenara when he was a young pony. Of course, it is the same as the dragon scale horse Lucia usually rides. The gift that could be given to Latarn was originally a top-notch war horse with the bloodline of the Kaliya pyroxene dragon.

But for some reason, something went wrong during Leo's growth process. When he reached the size of an ordinary dragon-scaled horse, he completely stagnated. No matter how carefully Latan took care of him, there was no improvement at all.

At the same time, Latarn's own physique grew rapidly, and Leo gradually became overwhelmed, so he usually had to switch to other war horses or giant wolves trained by the Kaliya royal family, but he still often brought Leo with him to personally care.As expected, when they returned to Calia this time, Leo became a member of the entourage, responsible for helping the owner carry some luggage and sundries.

Immediately afterwards, Michaela, Marlenia and Finley, who were responsible for escorting, also came from the Holy Tree Temple next door.

Michaela wore a robe and pretended to be a scholar, while Malenia, with the help of her brother, used illusion magic to cover up the golden prosthetic limb, and put on the leather armor commonly worn by female mercenaries, with the scarlet scabbard slung across her back. With a long sword and bright red hair hanging around his shoulders, he looks like an adventurer.
