Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 230 Bet
  Since the Great Lift of Dickas left Yatan and passed through the Vanya Valley connecting the two realms, on June [-]th, a group of demigods from afar finally arrived in Kallia.

Due to the group's outstanding camouflage and illusion skills, it was not until they arrived at Muland, a military town [-] kilometers north of the royal court, and revealed their identities to the local garrison that the whole of Lienia suddenly discovered that there had been no news for many days. The demigods have actually arrived at the doorstep.

Therefore, Muland's garrison general and the seventh "Devil Sword" Seren among the twelve Kalia knights immediately dispatched his personal guards to send the news back to the Royal Court of Star-Moon City, and at the same time welcomed several His Royal Highnesses into the city.

Less than three hours later, the royal court's escort team led by the third seat of the Calian Knights "Glowstone Dragon" Moret and the fifth seat "Star Warlock" Olanvinia arrived at Muland to greet them. The demigods went to Star-Moon City.

Sending these two big men to serve as the leaders of the escort team is naturally to show respect on the one hand, and on the other hand it also shows that Kallia has far-reaching thoughts——

Although Morlet was born in Carlia, his father "Glory Moon Dragon" Kaleos and "Ice Dragon" Boleleus were both one of the twenty original flying dragons personally conceived by Guior, the mother of flying dragons. , is undoubtedly the most orthodox ancient dragon bloodline.

Olanvinia is one of the top five masters in the Western Region in both magic and prayer. She was originally from a noble family in Rodel, and met her when she came to Rhea Lucalia to study magic twenty years ago. Queen Full Moon, who was at her peak, was deeply impressed by his charm and knowledge, and then joined Calia and became one of the knights who defended the queen.

At the same time, Olanvinia's twin sister Olivia also serves as the sixth Flame Archbishop of the Flame Temple. Just like Morelet who is inseparable from Sky City, this starry sky warlock can also become an extremely natural The bridge between Kallia and the Golden Dynasty.

"Lucia," in the queue going to the royal court, Latarn drove his horse to Lucia's side and said in a low voice, "Teacher Otaubis specially asked us to pretend to be ordinary mercenaries and drive here lightly. , and monitor the situation at any time, but until now, except for the foreign caravans encountered in Dominola, everything seems to be normal."

"Before today, this was indeed the case, but now it's different -" Lucia raised her chin and looked at a woman not far away who was holding Lani's hand, with red eyes and asking something with concern, and smiled. He said, "Isn't the flaw right in front of us?"

"Professor Miriam?" Latarn scratched the red hair on top of her head, "But she has known Lani for a long time. She taught my sister some basic magic knowledge when she was a child. Wait, you mean?"

"The timing of her appearance in front of us is such a coincidence." Lucia said lightly.

"The second professor of Rhea Lucaria's Double Wise Classroom, the main person in charge of the college's magic workshop and dozens of advanced research projects, when we were in the royal capital, the college's transactions with me were rarely handled by her personally, because even if One minute of wasted time is a huge waste for a scholar in her position."

"But it just happened that today, we arrived at Muland early without alerting Kalia, but she appeared in Star-Moon City 'just in time' and appeared in the welcoming team as soon as possible. In front of us - no matter how you look at it, this is beyond the scope of coincidence, right?"

"But what is the purpose of the academy, or the Double Sage Classroom?" Latarn still frowned, "Since this magic conference is to verify the quality of our demigods and challenge the bottom line of the royal family, and Why send a person like this to come here specifically to show your kindness?"

"Probably because we are young and can be bullied, and want to create a preconceived impression invisibly?" Lucia smiled and put her arm around Latarn's shoulders, whispering something in his ear.

After hearing this, Latarn looked stunned, touched the hard stubble on his chin, and said doubtfully: "Then wait for Lani to come over and ask later, I don't believe you can even guess this."

After a long time, Lani finally found a chance to get rid of Miriam. When she saw Lucia and Latarn winking at her secretly, she came straight to them and asked curiously: "What are you two doing?"

"Well." Latarn first glanced at Lucia, signaling him to be silent, then turned to Lani and said, "We were guessing what Professor Miriam told you just now, and now we ask you to verify it. ” ˆ ˆ “It’s boring,” Lani sneered, “Just tell me what you guessed, and I’ll tell you, right?”

Lucia sighed helplessly, "Your brother is afraid that we will collude to cheat. Can't you see this little trick?"

"I don't!" Latan blushed and retorted, "How can I not believe my sister? At best, I just don't believe you, a bad-tempered Cologne!"

After saying that, he didn't care that his rebuttal was so pale. He just waved his hand with a straight face and said, "Okay, tell us what you just said."

Looking at her eldest brother, who was usually very majestic, but rarely behaved at a loss at this moment, Lani blinked her eyes and sighed quietly: "Okay."

"First of all, of course, he asked me how my life has been in the royal capital for the past three years. Did the several letters I sent to me deliberately lie to reassure my family? I also specifically asked about his situation——"

Seeing the way his sister looked at Lucia, Latarn suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said, "What next?"

"Then there is the Magic Conference. Professor Miriam confessed that this time there are many young and talented wizards in the academy who want to challenge us demigods. Some people in the higher-ups with ulterior motives also intend to add fuel to the flames. If the challenge is successful, they will be able to take advantage of the situation. If we weaken the authority of the royal family, the failure at most will be like the defeat of Master Azler and Lusset to their mother, and nothing will be lost at all."

"She also said that she hopes we can teach those guys who don't know the heights of the world a lesson, just to put an end to the arrogant and impetuous atmosphere in the college in recent years, especially the Double Sage Classroom under her command."

"That's all?" Latarn said with a victorious expression on his face and looked at Lucia, "I just said that some people are just whimsical. How could they be so accurate?"

"One last thing -" Lani recalled carefully for a moment and added, "Before she left, she casually mentioned that the research breakthroughs in the classrooms of Caleros and Olivenis had been made, as if it was about ' But because I never cared about the pie-in-the-sky theories of the Origin School, I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

"What did you say?" Latarn suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Lucia in disbelief.

If the first two things can be reasonably inferred as long as one knows enough about the situation in the Western Territory and the relationship between Miriam and Lani, the last thing is purely a baseless fantasy. This is why he is sure that Lucia is impossible. Guess the reason.

However, unexpectedly, Lucia's assertion that Miriam would mention the Origin Sect's research pretensely or unintentionally, most likely in the form of affirmation and praise - now actually came true.

However, as the winner of the bet, Lucia did not feel satisfied at all. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Now I would rather guess wrong."

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Miriam, who was talking to Knight Olanvinia at the front of the queue. His eyes became cold and he said slowly: "It seems that the ambition of the academy is no less than my worst estimate." ah."
