Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 52 Clues
In the evening, the gentle and magnificent twilight shines from the narrow and narrow entrance of the alley, and falls on the flowing silver long hair of the visitor, reflecting a brilliant and dazzling brilliance, even though he is only wearing a pair of ordinary clothes that can no longer be ordinary. The knight's armor still exudes an extraordinary temperament all over his body, like a natural god.

"You are His Royal Highness Lucia Sanks?" Christopher, who had met Lucia outside the city before, was the first to react.

However, he didn't lose his composure because of Lucia's identity and his "presumptuous words" just now. He just took a deep breath and performed a proper knight's salute: "Christopher, the ancient dragon knight, I have seen Your Highness."

After a short period of confusion, Tuo Lixia quickly bowed and said, "Perfumer Tuo Lixia, I have met Your Highness."

Before Lucia could speak, Christopher took a step forward, took off the saber at his waist and handed it to Lucia in his hand, and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, you must have heard the presumptuous words I just made, if you think I I have offended the dignity of Prince Gu Long and the god-man, and I can accept any form of punishment—it’s just that all of this has nothing to do with Tolisha, and it has nothing to do with the other patients here, and I hope you don’t have anything to do with them for Teacher Lance’s sake. care about."

"Christopher, you..." Tolisha on the side looked anxious when she saw this, and looked at Lucia again, trying to defend Christopher, but the latter stopped him immediately with his eyes.

"Tsk, identity is such a troublesome and useless thing sometimes—" Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lucia rubbed the center of her brows helplessly, "I'm just telling you my identity is to prove that my divine power level is enough to help rescue people." People, but no one seems to be listening to what I have to say!"

As soon as these words came out, the young girl in front of Lucia immediately petrified. After a few seconds of silence, a faint embarrassment pervaded.

Probably, it seems, maybe what His Highness said just now is to help treat the boy with bad omens?

"If you realize it, can you let me go in first?" After a long while, Lucia spread her hands and said.

"Ah, I'm sorry, please come in—" Tolisha, the owner of this place, hurriedly led the way forward, and together with Christopher, led Lucia to a small living room behind the operating room.

The girl rummaged through the cabinets and found a small bag of tea, and found a kettle to temporarily serve as a teapot to stand on the fire. Not long after, the room was filled with a scent of tea.

The three of them sat around the fireplace in the center of the living room. In the sweltering heat, Tolixia struggled to organize her words, and spoke first: "We didn't think of you, Your Highness. How could you?"

"Why did you appear here, didn't you?" Lucia had already guessed the meaning of the other party's words, and replied calmly: "Recently, I often sneak into the arena with a false identity to participate in the arena to practice combat skills, and sometimes I meet injured demihumans and Mixed species, I will help secretly, I didn't expect to meet you when I was preparing to make a move today."

"When I first arrived in Rodel two months ago, I saw Christopher once outside the city, so I recognized him. I followed him out of curiosity and heard some of your conversations." He looked down and rubbed his clothes. The girl perfumer in the corner smiled lightly and said, "This world is really small. I didn't expect you to be Clivell's disciple."

"You know the teacher?" Tolixia asked in surprise.

"Not only do I know each other, he is now serving as the consul in Karen, so he can be regarded as taking orders from me," Lucia said, "I heard that he once rescued some demi-humans and hybrids when he was in the capital, if he knows As an apprentice, you have completely inherited his mantle, so you should be very happy, right?"

"Where." The girl blushed and hurriedly shook her head to deny, "Whether it is medical skills or quality, I am far behind my teacher."

"So Mr. Clivell has been in Karen all these years?" Christopher was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then he was surprised, "I helped Tolisha check his whereabouts in the temple, but I can only find out that he was arrested five years ago. After being relegated from the capital, there will be no clues to be found."

"Until a few months ago, he was only Karen's internal affairs officer, and he was not included in the orthodox official establishment of the Golden Dynasty. It is normal if he can't be found." Lucia replied, "Besides, the inside story of his being demoted from the capital is not Simple, because he rescued a mixed race with complicated identities five years ago."

Speaking of this, Lucia was stunned suddenly.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"

"Nothing." Lucia was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Originally he offended a certain important person for this, and he couldn't save himself, but suddenly an order came from the palace to take that bastard away, and relegated him to the Karen barely survived."

"That's right," Christopher rubbed his chin, "Torisha, did you hear that Mr. Clivell offended any important person?"

"No," Tuo Lixia shook her head, "Now that I think about it, the teacher seemed to have noticed something a few days before he was relegated. He refused to tell me anything, but only kept the books, medicinal materials, medical equipment and other belongings under his name Entrusted to me one by one, and then suddenly disappeared.”

Listening to the reminiscences of the two, Lucia's expression remained calm, but a turbulent wave had already set off in her heart.

Clivell, the court perfumer, a mixed race with complicated identities, five years ago, the decree from the palace, Queen Malika's false excuse when she mentioned the reason for Clivell's demotion, the one in the camp outside Karen City At night, he was quite concerned about this secret, but Clever, as the person involved, was extremely lacking in information, so he naturally had no way of doing it.

However, at this moment, these clues finally come together.

Five years ago, one early morning in December, a hybrid with a mysterious identity and serious injuries was thrown outside the gate of the Ancient Dragon Temple. The hybrid's name was Xiu Gu.

The wounds that have been carefully treated, the strange place of abandonment, the great fear when mentioning the past experience, and even the flash of astonishment and panic when Lucia's identity was recognized. Lucia had never met before that. When Xiu Gu met, the panic would never come from himself, so naturally there was only one answer left.

What Xiugu was afraid of was his identity as a god.

The presence of a demigod, god-man, or god at all casts an indelible shadow on him, so that whenever he sees such a person, he cannot help expressing a feeling of horror and horror.

He once thought that if Queen Malika planned all of this, it would be too early for her to act. After all, no matter from what point of view, there is still a long way to go before the night of the black knife. a period of time.

But he didn't believe that there would be so many coincidences between two irrelevant things. Now it seemed that the queen started to make arrangements much earlier than he originally imagined.

After going back, it is necessary to write to Clivell to inquire about it, he thought to himself.
