Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 29 Oracle
"Your Majesties, I encountered another incident on the way here. Although it is not serious, I think it is necessary to report it to you two." Lucia sat upright and said, "Shortly after passing through the portal of the Asian Altar, I In the Vania River Valley, I encountered the assassination of the apostles of the godskin, and they were led by two nobles of the godskin, one of whom was beheaded by my guard."

Lucia deliberately didn't mention the name Samuel. At this stage, it is impossible for him to reveal the existence of the memory battlefield to the outside world, so even Lance Shanks knows nothing about it.In addition, the news about Queen Nighteyes' consciousness coming to Samuel was also tightly locked inside by him. For the time being, only Lance Shanks and the five people in the imperial tent knew about it.

As soon as these words came out, the living room was suddenly silent, and even Mikaela, who had always been calm and gentle, showed a look of surprise.

Even for the gods and demigods of the Golden Dynasty, the godskin apostle is a near-taboo word—everyone understands that, compared to the almost destructive unification war ten years ago, it was actually the one that really laid the foundation of the dynasty’s rule The battle of the gods lasted for a hundred years.

After the Forbidden War, the Dragon Clan, who was the ruler of the previous era, drifted to the Far East Sea along with the broken Sky City, licking their wounds alone in an isolated environment. And roughly the same.

After the overlords from ancient times left the field, countless new strongmen emerged with the recovery of civilization. When their strength and ambition expanded to the point where they could not coexist with each other, a new round of war to determine the ownership of the border land was inevitable. The outbreak was inevitable, and the participating parties included not only Queen Malika and Queen Nighteyes who were candidates for gods, but also many local gods of the junction that had emerged after the Forbidden War.

It was during that protracted and tragic battle that Queen Nighteyes, who wields the power of death, and her apostles under her command became the nightmare of the entire era—where the hunting god's great sword pointed, the apostles were like sweeping dead wood The autumn wind of withered grass is like harvesting the lives of the gods. They peel off the skin of the god corpses to make their own battle robes, and spread the black flame representing death towards the next target.
The frightened gods tried to unite against the enemy, but they still couldn't stop Queen Nighteyes' advance. All this happened until Queen Malika signed a contract with the beast priest Guranger with two fingers. The latter changed her name to Marikas and became The shadow beasts who guarded the queen were brought to an end.

Facing the shadow of the apostles of Godskin, Marikas, who has not yet become a "black sword", showed a powerful force that overwhelmed an era. He forcibly defeated all the apostles with his own strength, and delivered the doomed death from the hands of Queen Nighteyes. Take away the seal.

After that battle, Queen Nighteyes disappeared, and the few remaining gods descended and prostrated themselves at the foot of the golden tree. Queen Malika was thus promoted to the "Eternal Queen" and officially became the dragon god Heraris The only true god recognized in the world after his disappearance.

Today, these blood-stained past events are still vivid in my mind, but the god-skin apostle who should have disappeared in the depths of history has reappeared, and the first move was to assassinate the ancient dragon demigod. Are rulers vigilant?

"You child." Queen Malika let out a breath after being silent for a few breaths, "Why are you talking about such a serious matter now, are you not injured?"

"You bothered, of course you didn't," Lucia replied with a smile, "I thought they were just a group of evil remnants of the party. After this serious injury, there should be no troubles for a long time, so there is no Immediately report to you."

While speaking, he was also silently observing the changes in the expressions of the people on the field.

Suddenly there was a cold snort full of anger, and Ladagang slapped the armrest of the sofa, gritted his teeth and said, "It's too rampant, a group of cultists who violate the law dare to make trouble so close to the golden tree !"

His perfect face was distorted by anger, and Lucia was a little surprised. Queen Xiaoyan and her god-skin apostles should be the biggest enemy of Queen Malika before she became a god, but Radagon probably still Didn't show up, how could he act even more furious than the queen?
"Marika, we must investigate this matter strictly," Radagon tried to calm down his emotions, "Attacking our allies near the golden tree is undoubtedly the most arrogant provocation to the golden law."

"Yes." On the other side, Malika first agreed, then thought for a moment and said, "The destructive power of the apostles should not be underestimated. I am going to assign Chief Siluria to deal with this matter fully. If necessary, I can mobilize all forces in the dynasty." .”

"I agree." Ladagon replied decisively.

Lance Shanks glanced at Lucia indiscriminately, and said: "Your Majesty, in the matter of tracking down the remnants of the god skin, the Ancient Dragon Temple will provide the Golden Dynasty with all the support it can."

Malika nodded slightly in thanks, and then immediately summoned the female officer who was on standby outside the hall. After explaining clearly, she took a token engraved with a golden tree pattern, and asked her to hand it over to Siluria, another chief of the furnace knight in the capital.

The female officer led the order, and Marika held Lucia's hand, and said softly: "My child, you can stay here with peace of mind. We will definitely protect your safety. I believe that the Siluria Knights will find clues soon. Get rid of those rats hiding in the gutter."

"Then I would like to thank the two Majesties."

After receiving the queen's definite answer, Lucia finally relaxed a little after being tense for several days. Although he said just now that "the situation is not serious", he actually did not believe that the night-eyed queen would fail in such an assassination. Then stop here, who knows what kind of conspiracy she will have against her next.

Under such circumstances, fully mobilizing the power of the Golden Dynasty to counterattack is undoubtedly the most effective countermeasure in a short period of time. Even if the Silurian knights cannot make meritorious deeds, at least they can fully reduce the room for the apostles to move, forcing the opponents to follow up Flaws were exposed in the possible confrontation.

Next, as long as he waits until the end of the dinner and settles down in the capital, he will probably be able to usher in a long period of stable development. He can start trying to crack the dragon blood inheritance seal with the memory battlefield. Analysis The role of progress should be researched as soon as possible, and we have to try again to see if we can unlock more targets in that starry sky
Now that the main business is over, the following is nothing more than some small talk to connect feelings. Lucia is planning the follow-up action plan in her heart, and she does not forget to tell a few well-timed jokes at the right time, making Marenia giggle, From the bright smile on the little girl's face, it was impossible to see that she was suffering from scarlet corruption a few hours ago.

However, just when Lucia thought the dinner party would end smoothly, a female priest in a white silk robe suddenly came in from outside the hall, and his peripheral vision keenly caught the coat of arms hanging on the priest's chest—— That's the two-finger emblem.

An inexplicable vigilance rose in his heart. As the king of the stars who handed Lani hundreds of hunting finger knives in his previous life, he has always kept a respectful distance from the supreme will and its spokespersons since time travel.

The two-fingered priests represent Lord Finger's will, and those strangely shaped two-fingers themselves are the spokespersons of the supreme will, so these priests have the right to move freely in most areas of the royal court.

The priest bowed deeply in front of the Queen and Ladagon, and said, "His Majesty Malika, Your Majesty Radagon, Mr. Finger has just received the latest oracle."

Malika's expression moved slightly, she and Radagon exchanged a glance, the latter was also slightly puzzled, so she said: "We are ready to listen to the oracle, the envoy can come at any time."

The so-called "God Envoy" refers to two fingers, but only gods, kings, and demigods appointed by the supreme will have the same status as two fingers, and can use this title.

The priest saluted again, and slowly exited the hall.

Not long after, everyone felt a sacred and solemn wave descending out of thin air. A ring pattern was outlined in the center, and the golden tree holy mark shaped like a cross slowly appeared in midair, and then the light of the mark spread to the surroundings. Like pulsating golden blood vessels, the outlines of two fingers were transformed out of thin air.

In the next second, the light of the holy seal disappeared, and the outline of the two fingers became completely solidified.

Lucia looked intently, and the skin on the surface of the two fingers showed a stone luster, which was similar to the scales of an ancient dragon. A white robe was worn at the joints where the two fingers met, and the pattern of Elden's Ring was woven with gold thread. pattern, and under the robe, he saw two legs and feet made of condensed light!
Looking at this strange existence that looks like an X chromosome, Lucia didn't feel funny at all, but felt a tingle in his scalp—this two-finger is obviously not the low-end version of the residual blood that was placed on the base in the round table hall, and it happened to be Don't come early, don't come late, and specially choose to come on the first day of his arrival in Rodel. Could it be that Supreme Will has realized that he is not a local creature, but an "extraterritorial demon" who has crossed the border, and is going to wipe him out? ?

He tried his best to keep his expression calm, but his muscles were tense to the extreme. A few dragon scales had unconsciously appeared on the skin on his back. As long as he thought about it, he could immediately transform into a dragon and rush out of this palace!

"Lucia." Suddenly, a soft little hand gently grasped his palm, and he suddenly turned around, only to see Marenia, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to her, approached quietly at some point.

"Is this the first time you've met Mr. Two Fingers? Don't be afraid," she whispered. "They're good people."

Lucia looked at her crimson pupils and felt the temperature of that little hand. His extremely tense mind suddenly relaxed for no reason. He slightly adjusted his sitting posture, smiled and said, "Understood."

"We heard that the envoy brought a new oracle, and we are ready to listen." Queen Malika nodded in greeting.

The two fingers bent slightly, which is probably the way it saluted, and then a warm voice sounded, "Your Majesty Malika, Your Majesty Radagon, and your highnesses, the great supreme will has just been issued to me The new oracle—"

Lucia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the voice came from the mouth of two fingers, no, where did this thing come from? !
Could it be that the two fingers in the golden age not only have long legs and can walk, but don't even need a finger-cleaning priest?

At this moment, he saw his two fingers turned to face him, and continued: "The supreme will has been watching the junction. His gaze not only stays within the range protected by the golden tree, but also never ignores anyone on this continent." devout people."

Its voice is warm and thick, as if telling an ancient epic, "Before humans took control of the Elden Ring, in the distant ancient times, the ancient dragon was already the most loyal defender of the original ring, and the supreme will is gratified With the birth of the Dragon Prince, the will of the great Helares and Platon Shanks was finally succeeded."

"Therefore He decided, Lucia Shanks, son of Helares and Platon Shanks, ancient dragon and demigod from Fam Yazra, the city of the sky - you shall be under the Golden Law, No. Four gods."
