Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 57 Reply
When Clivell's reply letter arrived at Valyrian Hall, Lucia was practicing the body of the Dragon King in the courtyard.

Guerrell took a metal cylinder sealed with a secret method from the taciturn messenger, and trotted all the way to the inner courtyard, only to find Elder Yatok with half-white hair was also in the courtyard at the moment.

The old man, who was over seven hundred years old at the time, was holding a volume of classics explaining storm combat skills, sitting on a deck chair under the shade of a tree, flipping through the slightly yellowed pages with fingers as rough as tree roots, his eyes flickering from time to time. A little bit of brilliance with great interest.

"Ah, it's Guerrell—" Yatok noticed the girl's arrival, and beckoned her to come closer with a smile. "His Highness is at a critical moment of cultivation, you should wait here for a while."

This elder, like Guerrell and Egg Kiss, belongs to the high-ranking flying dragons with extremely high bloodlines, and the latter two are future members of the Presbyterian Church, so Yatok has always regarded them as juniors worthy of support. The relationship between them has always been quite close.

"Elder." Guerrell came forward and bowed, and soon his attention was drawn to the classic book of combat skills in the hands of the old man, and he said curiously: "This book should not even be considered as an enlightenment book for you. Well, why are you still watching so engrossed?"

Yatok laughed when he heard the words, closed the book and handed it to her, "You don't understand this, do you? Well, you can understand after reading it yourself."

Guerrell took the classic book and opened a page at will to read.I saw that she didn't react at first glance, but after turning two pages, her heroic eyebrows raised slightly, and then her fingers turned faster and faster, and the expression on her face changed from flat to surprised, and changed when she turned to the last few pages. became a deep shock.

She put down the classics, looked at Lucia who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed not far away, and asked Elder Yatok softly, "The books are all the notes His Highness made these days?"

"This was already a month ago, these few days are over there—" The old man pointed to another pile of taller books beside him, most of which still contained classics recording various combat skills and sword skills. It's just that the content is far more esoteric and difficult than the one in Guerrell's hands.

"While chatting with Merrell yesterday, I heard that old guy mentioned that His Highness not only inherits a talent from Gu Long, but is also very unique in the cultivation of various combat skills. He has fully understood it in less than three months. There are thousands of classics, and the notes left behind are often thought-provoking even in his eyes."

Yatok touched his beard and said with emotion: "I didn't believe it at first, thinking that this old boy was flattering His Highness, after all, we have been studying these things for hundreds of years, so it is impossible for His Highness to learn I just left behind casually in the past few days. I didn’t expect that after witnessing it with my own eyes, I found that I was that self-righteous old thing! The point of reference is already the only method that can be regarded as a standard for you and children like Aigerkiss."

"That's true." Guerrell's understanding in combat and her usual resourcefulness are two extremes, and she comprehended the meaning of the elder's words without saying a word, "His Royal Highness can always use the most concise language to analyze a Not only that, but he can also propose the most accurate and effective training method and several ways to improve the power of combat skills. For the great masters, it takes years of painstaking research to gain comprehension."

"But for His Highness—" she stared at the tall and straight figure in the courtyard in admiration, "he has done this kind of thing hundreds of times."

At this moment, the two dragons, who were both flamboyant talents at their respective ages, had the same idea at the same time—is it true that the demigod possesses this level of power?
In the long lifespan and rich experience of the Dragon Clan, they have seen too many amazing characters who pierced the sky like meteors, up to the Queen of the Full Moon who is in charge of the Kalia Dynasty and the Rhea Lucaria Academy of Magic, defending them like a shadow. Queen Malika's "Black Sword" Marikas, down to Mugram, Autobius, Siluria and other famous and powerful knights in the world, although they do not have the blood of demigods, they all possess With a mighty power close to or even comparable to that of a demigod.

Because of this, before the demigods of the next generation rose strongly and set off the shattering war that destroyed the entire golden age, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan and even the vast majority of people, there was no strength between the strong among heroes and the demigods. The chasm above.

They have yet to see Lataen who sealed the stars with his own power, Lakad who restored the ancient spell of Gemir with magic, Marenia who wields a peerless blade, and even guarded the royal city alone, causing countless heroes to flow into rivers of blood. The last king, Mongot. This is an era when legends have not yet arisen, and people have not yet realized what kind of powerful overlords these young demigods will grow into.

If you stand in the sky of history and look down, in the last dusk of the golden age of prosperity, before the eruption of the night of the black sword that opened the troubled world, the junction is certainly at the critical point of turning from prosperity to decline, but it is not thousands of years old. Come to the highest peak of mortal life force?

"Elder Yatok, Guerrell," Lucia, who had finished her training, nodded to the two of them respectively, "Did Clavier's letter arrive?"

Guerrell handed over the well-crafted metal cylinder with both hands, and after Lucia took it, he injected a divine power into the engraved rune array on the surface, and the lock of the metal cylinder bounced off by itself, revealing the rolled pages inside. letterhead.

Lucia pulled them out of the metal cylinder and read them carefully from beginning to end.

Clivell used a pre-agreed code. At first glance, several pages were filled with irrelevant nonsense. Only Lucia, who knew the code, could decipher the real content from it.

The letter first described the cause and effect of Xiugu in detail. Although Clavier did not remember Xiugu's name, since the many details mentioned by Lucia can perfectly correspond to his memories, the identity of the hybrid at the beginning is natural. it goes without saying.

Clareville mentioned a few things that only he and Xiugu knew back then. Lucia could have gained Xiugu's trust by relying on these. Under his command, it depends on what Queen Malika wants.

On the other hand, Clivell spent a lot of time reporting that the Caria mission had crossed Karen and left for Didas. The letter not only attached various information about the mission, but also strongly suggested that Lucia should deal with it. Add more things to your heart.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Kalia mission, which had left suddenly at this time, had deliberately delayed the trip for many days.

Lucia is also well aware of the grievances between the current king of Elden, Radagon, and the Queen of the Full Moon, so she is naturally more sensitive to this matter, so she began to conceive the next several plans as soon as she received the information.

However, this time, his usual calm thinking gave way to some chaotic memories and emotions. The first thing that jumped into his mind was not any effective strategy, but many old people he hadn't seen for a long time.

He thought of the last Kalia knight who stood guard in front of the academy library until his death and guarded the Queen of the Full Moon with his life. The sad general who hurt people thought of the hero of the generation who had the ambition of overlord, but was finally swallowed by the greed of the big snake. Of course, in the end, he took the law out of the sky and gave countless creatures in the mortal world a cold, dark and yet peaceful life. A future moon princess full of freedom and hope.

He had offered her the dark moon ring that was locked in the big library countless times, forbidding anyone to take it, and ignored those duplicity warnings, walking side by side with her to the endless loneliness of the dark side.

"Finally, we are going to meet again—— Lani." He said silently in his heart.

　ps. It’s already afternoon, so there’s still more tonight
