Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 33 God Man
"I didn't feel any power fluctuations in her." Lance Shanks pondered, "There is no divine power or magic power. Except for her supernatural intelligence, she seems to be no different from ordinary beasts."

"Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask since the Shadow Beast Summoning Ceremony," she said solemnly, "Do we really need to be so afraid of the two fingers—or the god behind the two fingers?"

Of course, she could tell that Lucia had deliberately chosen such a shadow beast, which neither had the shocking power of "Black Sword" Marikas, nor the wisdom of the half-wolf Blaze.When she left early to go to the Temple of the Ancient Dragon, Lucia even seized the opportunity when Marenia picked up the little fox to play, and asked her to secretly investigate the state of the shadow beast.

All kinds of actions are not at all like treating a close guard who goes hand in hand with God and Man, but rather like being on guard against a potential life-and-death enemy.

"Sister Lance, how much do you know about the existence of 'Shadow Beast'?" Lucia asked after a moment of silence.

"Well, they are all creatures that exist in the borderland itself. During the canonization ceremony of the god-man, two fingers cross the space through the fog door, so that the god-man can establish a connection with the beast that suits them best, and under the witness of the supreme will, the two Those who sign a soul contract, regardless of life or death, will not depart from each other," Lance Shanks concluded after thinking.

"In addition, I also heard that the blessing of the supreme will is contained in the fog gate, and the shadow beast will be greatly strengthened in the most anticipated characteristics of the gods, such as Marikas-many years ago, when he was named When Gulange was a high priest of beasts who followed His Majesty Helaris, his status in the Sky Temple was second only to the high priest of Gulan. Before Fuer and I became priests, he was also assisting the high priest. He was in charge of the government affairs of the court. Although he was already famous for his force at that time, he was far less terrifying than the shadow beast who became the eternal queen."

"Ten years ago, when the Ancient Dragon Temple was first established, I saw him once in the capital," she recalled, "It was the first time I met him after many years. The coercion made me feel an unspeakable sense of oppression. This feeling is even more terrifying than Godwin under the blessing of the golden tree. It is like a walking melting pot of divine power. The escaping breath is enough to make the most heroic The knights of the world are as silent as a cicada."

"The most anticipated trait of a god-man? If it was Queen Malika back then, power should be the one she expected?" Lucia murmured.

"In short, I can feel from the soul contract that the shadow beasts who passed through the fog gate are no longer what they used to be. Whether it's a blessing or something else, they have already been branded with an indelible brand of supreme will."

"So, do you suspect that the god planted a seed by your side in this way, so as to interfere with your next actions, and even control your life?" Lance Shanks revealed a hint of clarity in his eyes. .

Lucia nodded when he heard this, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the other party that this was not his conjecture at all, but an irrefutable fact that he had personally experienced in his previous life.

In this land, since the beginning of the eternal queen Marika, behind every god-man who seems to have supreme honor stands an unfathomable two-fingered angel who hides in the shadows and secretly grasps Everything about Kamito, once Kamito acts like Lani trying to get out of control, what awaits them is the backlash of shadow beasts and the never-ending slaughter of black knife assassins.

The only thing that surprised him was that the two-finger angel named Epsilon did not choose to follow him into the Valyrian Temple, but said that it would stay in the Two-Finger Church outside the Golden Temple, occasionally He will also go to the royal library and other places. If Lucia wants to see him, he only needs to send someone to the Two Fingers Church to summon him, and it will respond immediately.

Lance Shanks sighed lightly, and apologized: "Before I arranged for you to come to the capital, I never thought that Supreme Will would add a God-man position specially for you, but in the end, by accident, you were completely swept away." Into Rodel's vortex, what a miscalculation"

As the priest of the Sky Temple who leads the dragon clan, and has been preaching in the capital for more than ten years, although she cannot foresee the broken war that will swallow up all the demigods in the future, she can clearly see the current situation of Rodel's undercurrent. It is clear that even if the conflict between the original golden tree doctrine and legal fundamentalism is aside, the supreme will is absolutely unpredictable in the canonization of gods and men.

It is clear that the Eternal Queen, who is a god, has an endless lifespan, and a nearly perfect law incarnation Radagon sits on Elden's throne. Gods with different positions.

Among them, Marenia is still young and weak, and she is riddled with corruption and curses, so she does not have the strength to compete for the position of god for the time being, but the other two—whether it is Mikaela who has crushed her peers in prayer since she was a child The prince, or the princess of the moon in Kalia, who is talented in the way of magic, undoubtedly has the potential to create his own laws and the qualifications to become a god in the new era.

Looking at the countless dynasties that have risen and fallen in history, when more than one existence with the power to become a king is also qualified to be a king, the situation of the entire dynasty will immediately fall into an extremely dangerous balance. Once the situation changes, the balance collapses , The kings fight only between nights and nights. For the Dragon Clan, they have seen similar situations too many times since the ancient times of ignorance until today.

"How can this be blamed on you?" Lucia shook her head, "Think about it carefully, as long as I hatch alive from that supreme egg, what happened today will come to you sooner or later. The Golden Dynasty and Kali Yadu has its own gods and men, and there is no reason why the sky city standing with them has no reason to stay out of it, and I came to Rodel to advance the canonization ceremony by a few days at best."

At this stage, he still has too little information, and the future night of the black knife and the queen's motives for destroying the magic ring are at most speculative, and there is no value for in-depth discussion, but for now, the two fingers and the reason behind them The Supreme Will has clearly begun to prepare for the next era.

The law of the new era may be the golden law that fully implements fundamentalism and is ruled by Radagon, or it may be created by any one of Godwin, Lani, Michaela, Marenia, or himself The new law, the supreme will does not care who will win, he will only set enough choices in advance to ensure the coming of the next era.

It will be a time when the Golden Tree still stands on top of the world, and a time when there will be no more Marika, the Everqueen.

"Sister Lance, since we have jointly decided to come to Rodel, there is no room or possibility for us to retreat. From now on, all I can do is to continue to grab more power and strive to hold enough cards before the incident. "

At this point, he didn't hesitate anymore, and said: "When I was in Karen City two days ago, I felt the change of the dragon's blood inheritance in the depths of my soul. Next, I plan to retreat for a few days and try to open the seal. please."

"Dragon Blood Inheritance?" Lance Shanks' face changed, "I only started trying to open the seal when I was 230 years old, and I didn't fully succeed until I was [-] years old—is it too dangerous for you to try now?"

"Don't worry, I have my own measure," Lucia comforted her with a smile, "Besides, it's just a test, there won't be any problems."

Lance Shanks stared at him fixedly, as if trying to discern the impulsive nature of this decision from his eyes, but she only responded with a rational calm.

After a while, she took a deep breath, nodded helplessly, and said: "Then you must be careful, once you find that your state is not right, stop immediately, no power is as important as your life!"

"No problem—" Lucia replied seriously.
