Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 26 Demigods
Passing through the palace gate, Lucia looked around. This should be a side hall where the golden royal family held family gatherings. The decoration and furnishings are not as dignified as the outside world, but it has a warm and comfortable home atmosphere.

There is a huge sandalwood dining table in the center of the main hall. The seats of Malika and Ladagang are arranged side by side at the top, and there are more than ten seats on each side. It is exactly the same, everything is different from the gathering places of ordinary people, and there is no difference between closeness and distance.

At this moment, the table is already filled with precious fruits and vegetables produced in various parts of the border, and the exquisite and gorgeous magic energy lamps on the roof and surroundings cast a warm golden glow, reflecting a colorful and dazzling brilliance on the glass cups and plates. There are several well-dressed maids standing respectfully by the side, waiting for orders at any time.

"Come on, hurry up and take your seat—" the queen walked briskly in front, "I think you must be hungry, Lucia, so you have ordered the chefs to start preparing dinner. Today's chef is a master from Stonewell , his style must be in line with your taste."

Radagon followed behind Malika calmly, and did not speed up his pace a few steps until he approached the table. He moved the high-backed chair for the queen, and sat on the parallel chief after she was seated.

On the other side, Lance Shanks originally planned to let Lucia sit in the first seat on the left, but Lucia stepped forward first, pulled the chair over and said, "Sister Lance, you sit here."

Lance Shanks saw that he had a look of reason and could not refuse, so he had no choice but to sit down. Lucia then pulled out the second chair and sat in the seat next to her.

Seeing the distinguished guests seated, the maids immediately presented all kinds of appetizing desserts and drinks, Queen Malika looked back at a female officer standing not far away, frowned slightly and said: "Peggy, Mikay Aren't Ra and Marenia here yet, and the Greco kid?"

The female officer was about to explain, when a slightly anxious voice suddenly came from not far away: "Sorry, mother, we are late."

Lucia looked around, and saw a thin blond boy hurried out pushing a wheelchair from the side door on the right side of the palace.He was too short, and the wheelchair was too tall, which completely blocked his body, even covering most of his face.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a girl who looked more delicate than him. She had red hair as delicate as a rose, and her skin was as delicate and pale as snowflakes. Her right arm, left leg, and right calf all disappeared. , replaced by prosthetics made of gold.

However, such a terrible incompleteness does not seem to make the girl's character gloomy. At this moment, she is opening a pair of clear eyes, looking at the visitors in the temple curiously. Perhaps because she has seen Lance Shanks, she almost immediately He focused his attention on Lucia.

Lucia looked back, and suddenly saw her lips move slightly. Even though they were so far away, he understood the content immediately.

"It's a dragon!" she murmured softly.

"Marenia!" Mikaela's doting voice reminded her from behind, "That's a very important guest, don't shout!"

Marenia snorted, and quickly covered her mouth, but her pair of shining eyes were still looking at Lucia non-stop.

Behind the two were a group of maids in a hurry. After seeing Malika and Radagon, everyone immediately bowed and saluted, and the first female official came out and explained: "Your Majesty, His Highness Mikaela insists on taking care of Malika himself. Your Highness Lenia, so."

Ladagon obviously knew his son and daughter very well. Seeing this, he didn't blame the maids, but responded with a pleasant face: "Okay, I know it's not your fault, let's go down."

"You two." He looked helplessly at the two brothers and sisters, "Mikaela, you are not in good health, why are you still busy fighting for the maid's job every day—and you, Marlenia, if it wasn't for you I always like to play tricks and let your brother be with me, so he won't be used to you like this, and even make you late for such an important occasion today."

Malenia who was criticized immediately lowered her head and stuck out her tongue quietly, while Mikaela smiled apologetically and explained: "It's my fault, Father, Malenia is not feeling well this afternoon, Peggy sent someone to come When I notified us, I was helping her suppress the scarlet corruption, so I was late by mistake."

While speaking, Mikaela had already pushed Marenia to the dining table. At this moment, he came out from behind the wheelchair, and Lucia had a complete view of him.

If ignoring the overly thin figure and slightly sickly pale complexion, Mikaela undoubtedly has a perfect appearance that is not inferior to his father's, and the golden hair color even Radagon himself would be ashamed of himself.At the same time, his mature temperament and immature body present a very contradictory sense of separation, like light and shadow, which are scattered and indistinguishable from each other.

The twins blessed by the Golden Tree——Michaela and Marenia, one is tainted by scarlet corruption, and the other will never grow up.

Looking at them, Lucia suddenly felt puzzled. If this is called a blessing, then what is a curse?

"You must be His Royal Highness Lucia," he looked at Lucia, and smiled gently, "If possible, I hope you can forgive us for being late—my name is Michaela, and this is my sister Marenia, We have been looking forward to it for many days since we heard that you are coming to the capital as a guest."

"It's okay, just call me by my name," Lucia stood up and said with a sincere smile, "I am also very happy to be here, you should be able to understand that the elders in Sky City who are over five hundred years old on average will not follow What common language do I have, after all, strictly speaking, I was only three months old."

"Liar!" Marenia said in a crisp voice, "How can it be possible to grow so big in three months, my brother is almost ten years old, and he doesn't look as old as you!"

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing. Queen Malika stroked her hair and explained with a smile: "Malenia, Lucia and Priest Lance are both ancient dragons. Their growth methods are different from humans. Lucia was born It has been grown in the Supreme Egg for many years before!"

"Really?" The little girl looked at the boy in front of her with wide eyes.

"Of course it's true," Lucia blinked. "I've been in that egg for more than 1000 years. Both you and Michaela have to call me brother."

"No--no!" Marenia pouted and deliberately made a face at him.

"Okay, sit down quickly, Lucia has been waiting for us for a long time." Mikaela said and was going to hug Marenia to the high-back chair.

"But I want to sit over there—" Marenia pointed to the seat next to Lucia, and then looked eagerly at her parents and brother.

Malika looked at Radagon helplessly, then turned to Lucia, asking for his opinion.

"It's my pleasure." Lucia smiled.

He really has nothing to be unhappy about. The current Marenia doesn't have the world-famous prosthetic knife in her hand, and she won't suddenly chase four times after getting close to a waterfowl. On the contrary, she is still a provocative Lovely little girl.

He got up and helped Michaela push Marlenia's wheelchair over to the dining table, and pushed aside the chair beside him.Mikaela lifted Marlenia up and put her on it, patted her on the head lightly and said, "Sit down properly, don't make trouble, and don't say any more rude words."

"Got it!" Marenia agreed, but she couldn't help but look at Lucia. Since she was sure that he was actually a young ancient dragon, she seemed to wish to see a few dragon scales from him.

"Are you Lucia Shanks?" At this moment, a light voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Lucia looked sideways, and saw a short-haired young man in a fancy dress striding in. From the outside, he had inherited the burly features of the golden lineage, and his facial features were quite angular. He is handsome, but there is always a gloomy temperament hovering between his brows, which makes the whole person look narrow and constricted.

Walking into the hall, the young man glanced around for a week, saluted the queen and the royal husband first, then nodded slightly to Lance Shanks, then went straight to the right side of the vacant long table, pulled out the first chair and sat down proudly.

"Welcome to Rodel." He looked at Lucia and said calmly, "It seems that the big elevator I built is somewhat unsatisfactory, so that His Highness has to fly over the plateau barrier to travel here. In this way, I really didn't wait for the reception well!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the meeting became tense.

Lucia squinted at him for a long time before finally matching the gray-haired demigod with arms covered in memory with the young man in front of him, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what. He looks like a dog, why did he stop being a human and become a tentacle monster?
Besides, you're being weird with me, you didn't know where to dig the mud when I was laning against people in my previous life.

So he shrugged his shoulders and said with a kind smile: "You must be Brother Godwin's eldest son, Greg, right? The hospitality is not good, but Deidas is too close to here, and I, as an uncle, came here in a hurry , I haven't prepared any toys for you, I will definitely do it next time!"

Beside him, Marenia, who had just been taught a lesson by Mikaela, who was reluctant to sit, burst out laughing.

　ps. The author himself is also a 500+ hour Dharma player. I must know that Malika and Ladagang are half bodies of each other, and when they appeared on the stone stage, they were obviously one body and two souls, including the part of the opening CG smashing the ring and repairing the ring. a body.However, according to the second setting of this book, they still have their own independent bodies at this point in time, and all the holes dug will be filled in later with the development of the plot, please rest assured.In addition, these are the second design added for artistic effect, so don't treat it as a serious research result of environmental science!
