Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 37 Shirley
"You mean you saw the virtual nebula of the Goddess and Her Majesty behind the bronze door, and this kind of rune?" Lance Shanks looked at the drawing that Lucia had just drawn for her in surprise, and there was a touch between his brows Surprised.

"Yes," Lucia nodded and said, "I can read the runes that record the ancient dragon's combat skills, the five royal family's combat skills, and the five lines of prayers, but this kind of runes has no clue, Miss Lance Do you have any impression?"

After coming out of the quiet room of retreat, he described the whole process of accepting the inheritance of dragon blood to Lance Shanks in detail, only slightly embellished, and skipped the content related to the memory battlefield.

Lance Shanks racked his brains for a long time, finally shook his head in distress, and said: "I have no impression at all-don't talk about this, when I entered the bronze door, even the phantom nebula and other illusions you mentioned I have never seen it before, I just feel that there is a lot of unprecedented knowledge in my memory, and it took almost 100 years to fully grasp the combat skills and prayers recorded in it."

Speaking of which, she couldn't help looking at Lucia with a monster-like look, "In other words, even the seal I faced back then, the mental strength of these young demigods is not enough to crack it, it stands to reason that you Your seal will only be stronger than mine, and I don’t know how you guys did it.”

"Well," Lucia scratched her head and laughed, "Maybe it's because of some changes in my 1000-year inheritance in the dragon egg. Anyway, I didn't feel how strong my seal was, so I just pushed it lightly. Just open."

"C'mon, you're a good boy, right?" Lance Shanks caught a glimpse of the unconcealable color at the corner of his mouth at a glance, and couldn't help stretching out his claws, rubbing his long silver hair that he had combed just this morning. chicken coop.

After some unilateral oppression, she breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed Lucia's cheek and said, "It doesn't matter how it was successfully opened, but the result is good enough, sister, I can finally sleep when I go back." I feel good."

"Go back?" Lucia was slightly taken aback, "Don't you stay here for a few more days, I still want to learn from you the cultivation methods of the Dragon King's Body and the Claw of Destruction."

"Hey, hey, let's figure out one thing, okay? I'm a dignified priest of the ancient dragon temple. I condescend to come here to protect you, a little demigod, for a few days. Alright, there are still many things waiting for me to go back to the temple. Arrangements!"

Seeing that Lucia rolled her eyes, she chuckled, stood up and brushed off the spotless white robe and said, "Okay, I really have something to do, and I'll teach you the basics of the two royal combat skills in a while. Here you go, practice slowly by yourself during this time, if you don’t understand other combat skills, prayers, and storm swordsmanship, you can ask Elder Murrell and Egg Kiss, and if you have any questions, come to the temple to find me.”

"I know, I know, yes—" Lucia replied with a drawn out voice.

In the next half day, Lance Shanks watched him rehearse the basic training methods of the Dragon King's Body and the Claw of Destruction more than a dozen times. Since Lucia had practiced many times in the memory battlefield three days ago, this time Sometimes it is only necessary to make some fine-tuning of details under the guidance of the former.

In the afternoon, Lance Shanks summoned the two elders in the hall, the two captains of the guards, Aegis and Guerrell, and Anacia, who was temporarily in charge of the Storm Knights, and explained the defense work and other matters to everyone. Leading a group of ancient dragon knights hurriedly returned to the temple.

"Is there something wrong with the Temple of the Ancient Dragon?" In front of the Valyrian Temple, Lucia looked at the back of the white robe going away, and asked Guerrell beside him.

The girl rested her chin with her knuckles and thought hard for a while, "I haven't heard anything in the past two days. Except yesterday, a knight who delivered a letter came to the temple last night, but Priest Lance didn't respond after reading the letter. Inside the hall, wait for His Highness to leave the customs."

"Is that letter still there?" He frowned slightly.

"It's gone," Guerrell shook his head, "Priest Lance burned it casually after reading it, and I didn't ask about the content."

After hearing this, Lucia was silent for a moment, looked at the royal road outside the hall several times, but finally just nodded and said, "I see."

Judging from the state of Sister Lance when she left, she shouldn't have encountered any problems that she couldn't solve. As for burning the letters, it was probably because she didn't want to let herself know and worry about something meaningless.

In this case, instead of following up and causing chaos, he might as well stay at home and practice honestly, so as to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Dragon blood inheritance is indeed powerful, but he is still too weak before completely digesting it.

In the afternoon of that day, he moved all kinds of weapons, armors and steel puppets used for training in the arsenal to the courtyard in front of his residence, and piled up a large number of combat skills and prayer books from the library for his own use. Refer to the confirmation at any time, and then start the practice of spinning like a spinning top, and often stop to take a short rest when you are exhausted.

In the evening, the hall ushered in two more regular visitors. They were Michaela and Marenia who lived in the Holy Tree Hall next door, but today they visited much later than usual.

The maids, who had long been accustomed to it, led the two gods to the courtyard where their master was. The little fox had been by Lucia's side all the time, lying on the pile of books and dozing boredly. Zhi Leng raised his head, and when the figure of the other party appeared at the gate of the courtyard, he immediately turned into a white light and rushed out, jumping into the little girl's arms in three or two steps.

"Shirley——" Marlenia hugged the little fox happily, allowing her to lick her cheek happily with her tongue, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm late."

Mikaela looked at the welcoming Lucia, didn't say much, but smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Lucia smiled back.

It’s so easy to get along with Mikaela. The other person’s outstanding wisdom saves me from being so tired like when I was with Guerrell. No matter whether the matter is complicated or not, I have to spend a lot of time explaining it. Sincerity and kindness.

"Marenia," Lucia took another two steps forward, looking helplessly at the little girl who was having a heated fight with her shadow beast, "Can you explain to me what the name 'Shirley' means? , and why did she agree?"

"Ah, this." Marenia suddenly showed a little timidity, "I'm sorry, you have been practicing in seclusion these days, I came to see Shirley—ah no, I'm looking for your shadow beast to play with. She took a name, if you don't like it"

"I like."

"what?"

"What's there to be sorry about?" Lucia rubbed her hair amusedly, "I like this name very much. You can see that her hair is as snowy as snow, so it's just right to be called Shirley."

This time even Mikaela, who is well-read and knowledgeable, couldn't understand. I am satisfied, so the name is naturally finalized.

The three of them laughed and teased Shirley for about a quarter of an hour. Just when Marenia and the little fox were having sex, Mikaela came to Lucia and whispered that she had something to discuss with him alone. .

After Lucia understood, she summoned two maids to watch over Marenia, while she led Mikaela into the hall.
