Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 32 Valyrian Palace

"It seems that our prince is very concerned about that princess!" Lance Shanks winked at Lucia at the entrance of the Valyrian palace, and teased with interest.

"Sister Lance" Lucia withdrew her gaze from the backs of Mikaela and Marenia, turned to look at the white-robed priest in front of the temple, and said with a speechless expression: "There are so many things in chaos from morning to night today, I Why do you feel that you are not tired at all!"

"Tsk, talking like that hurts people," Lance Shanks said with an innocent face, "Sister, I rushed to help you out early in the morning and flew with you from Didas to Luoyang. Del, I also visited the ruins of the sword stele on the way, and just before the dinner was over, I rushed back to the Temple of the Ancient Dragon to dispatch troops, and by the way, I also turned down the official duties for the next few days and condescended to be your temporary guard—that’s all you have to do. Strange yin and yang saying I’m not tired? Hey, don’t run—”

Lucia had already raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and walked into the courtyard, repeating mechanically without any sincerity in her mouth: "It's wrong, it's wrong. Can't it be okay if it's wrong?"

Lance Shanks smiled triumphantly, and quickened his pace to catch up.

"By the way, Miss Lance, how long have you been here? Have you sent someone to check the environment in the hall?" After a brief laugh, Lucia asked the real question.

"Don't worry, it's more than just sending people to check. I have personally checked the inside and outside of this bedroom. The layout of all buildings is exactly the same as the map delivered by the Golden Dynasty. There are no secret rooms, secret passages, and wiretapping. Or a blind spot for surveillance." Lance Shanks replied, and threw a scroll to Lucia casually, "Here, look for yourself, and I will take you around by the way."

Lucia unfolded the scroll, and inside was an extremely precise and rigorous layout map of the Valyrian Palace. It not only marked the location and function of each room in detail, but even accompanied it with a set of detailed scales and legends. However, in the map In the lower right corner, there is a flamboyant signature——Ed Lindsay.

"This Ed Linsell, have you heard of Miss Lance?" Lucia raised her eyebrows and asked. The level of drawing of this map is almost as good as that of computer graphics seen in previous lives, but the final signature is so arbitrary Zhang Yang couldn't help but make him a little curious.

"Ed Lindell?" Lance Shanks was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said: "Of course I heard that before the Golden Dynasty went south, he was the most famous university student in Rodel, not only presided over the construction of The bastion-style defense system on the periphery of Rodel also led the design of the entire Golden Temple as the chief designer. It was not until the King of War led his army to Ningmgfu that he was specially invited by the Golden Royal Family to serve as the entire East Palace. The military theory advisor of the Conscript Legion was also exiled outside the Sea of ​​Fog."

Speaking of this, she sighed softly and said: "The reason why I can remember so clearly is also because the collapse of the Storm Dynasty is inseparable from this university student. Designed and built a large number of weapons and equipment that far surpassed the troops of other countries at the time."

"They used pulley bows and crossbows to create an unprecedented dense rain of arrows, suppressing the storm knights' group charge head-on, and imitating the technology of ancient ruins civilization to make golem guards over ten meters high-although those guys moved slowly, But when the number of giant bows and arrows in their hands exceeds a certain scale, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to the flying dragon warriors we sent to support."

"Everyone in the world thinks that the strength of the Golden Dynasty in the War of Unification lies in crushing the number of powerhouses in other countries, and in the fact that the two armies of the East and the West are omnipotent. However, as early as 30 years ago, the High Priest of Gulan warned at the Elders' Meeting Before us, the strength of the Golden Dynasty lies first in Rodell. Talents, military resources, wealth, materials, and technology. Rodell is like a powerful machine that never stops, absorbing the nutrients of the entire continent for the Golden Dynasty, and it will continue to flow This is the real reason why the Golden Tree is invincible."

"It is also because of this that we did not use the Storm Dynasty as the battlefield for the decisive battle, but chose to attack Rodel directly and burn the war to the heart of the enemy." She sighed quietly, "In that battle, although we fought from beginning to end In the end, they did not really destroy the opponent's strength, but at least made the Golden Dynasty realize one thing - if the war continues, Rodel is bound to be destroyed in a new round of war. For seeking to establish a new order covering the entire world For the golden tree, this is a price they are unwilling to bear anyway."

Lucia was silent for a long time after hearing this, and now he already understands why in that era when the Golden Dynasty swept all directions and the golden tree grew and prospered, almost covering everything, only the Kalia and the ancient dragon managed to preserve their own civilization and inheritance, because their dignity is not bestowed generously by the Golden Tree, but is defended by countless Kalia knights and ancient dragon warriors with blood and swords.

However, more than ten years have passed since the Battle of the Moon Tree and the Battle of the Dragon Tree. During these ten years, the Golden Dynasty, which lost the King of War and the Eastern Expeditionary Legion, not only did not weaken, but showed unprecedented strength. At the same time, Sky City is declining day by day due to endless internal disagreements, and Kalia is gradually declining after the Queen of the Full Moon has a mental breakdown. Big, began to try to grab more right to speak.

If everything continues on the current track, will they still have enough strength to protect themselves when the next upheaval comes?

During the conversation, the two had followed the route guided by the map and turned around most of the Valyrian halls.

As Lance Shanks said, Ed Lindsay is worthy of being one of the most talented scholars in the history of the Golden Dynasty. Lucia combined the knowledge of mathematics and science from the previous life with the powerful spiritual power of demigods, and continued to use his naked eyes along the way. After measuring the structure of this sleeping hall and calculating it in my mind, I found that the error between this map and the actual building is even less than centimeters.

In terms of the layout of the palace, although the Valyrian Hall is a sleeping hall in name, it is the residence of the demigods, complete with training grounds, library, arsenal and other facilities.A wall on the east side is the Holy Tree Hall where Mikaela and Marenia live. There are several sleeping halls with similar regulations hundreds of meters away. At this time, they are all vacant. If they arrive, most of them will be placed directly here.

Approaching the inner hall side by side with Lance Shanks, the two ancient dragon knights guarding the door immediately gave a military salute to them. After entering the door of the hall, Lucia gently picked up the sleeping little fox on his shoulders , handed it to a court maid, and told her to take the little fox to find a place to rest.

Afterwards, the two came to the study together, and it was not until Lance Shanks sealed the interior space with divine power that Lucia suddenly relaxed.

"Sister Lance, I troubled you to observe all the way just now. My shadow beast should be fine, right?"
