Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 59 Mugram
When they came to the door of the study room in the inner hall, Lucia asked the court lady on duty today to take care of Marenia, and after making sure that no outsiders would disturb her, she led Mikaela in.The two sat opposite each other across an ebony desk, and he poured a cup of warm tea for Michaela and himself as usual.

"I just received the news not long ago that the Kalia mission has passed through Dedas and will arrive in Rodel the next day." As Lucia expected, Mikaela said straight to the point.

Lucia took a sip of tea, frowned slightly and said, "If the original itinerary was followed, they should have arrived more than a month ago, right?"

In fact, after Klewell mastered Karen, an important node between the three places of Asia, Lienia and Nangemir, the movement of the Caria mission has been under his control, and Because of this, this time he received information on the departure of the mission even earlier than Mikaela.It's just that it's not appropriate to disclose his relationship with Clareville, so it is still necessary to put on a gesture of just knowing about it on the bright side.

Mikaela sighed softly, and continued: "Twenty days ago, they arrived at a position only fifty miles away from Didas, and then they set up camp there, not moving forward, until today they took the big elevator to the Yatan Plateau. Mu Knight Gram specially sent a letter to father, saying that he will arrive at the outskirts of the capital at noon the day after tomorrow."

"A few hours ago, my father ordered to hold a banquet in the suburbs the day after tomorrow to welcome the two brothers Lataen and Lakad and sister Lani. It is estimated that the invitation letter will be delivered to you tomorrow at the most."

"Outskirts?" Lucia was really surprised this time, "According to the usual practice, shouldn't the banquet to welcome them be held in the Golden Temple?"

"Indeed, that's why I feel something is wrong," Mikaela said with a worried expression. "The two brothers and sisters have traveled all the way here, and they should be resting and having a banquet in the Eternal Palace. How can there be any reason to meet the wind in the suburbs? I think it should be It was what Knight Mugram mentioned in that letter that father made such a strange decision."

Lucia pondered for a moment and said, "How much do you know about that Mugram knight who led the mission?"

Unlike the lonely knight who was unknown in the previous life standing in front of the Queen of the Full Moon, since Lucia came to this world, the name Mugram has appeared around him too many times, in annals, classics, biographies, rumors. Legends of that man abound everywhere.

As a human hero who rose up during the Unification War, Mugram's age is almost the same as that of the Storm King's wings Oleg and Ingwell, and he is much younger than the powerful knights such as Ortapis and Siluria who have been famous for many years .However, the prestige that Mugram has created in the past twenty years of wars is not inferior to the heroes of the time, but after the Battle of the Moon Tree, he showed an aura that overwhelmed the world.

"The first and strongest Kalia knight" - that's what people call him.

"Among the twelve Kalia knights selected by the queen of Kalia, Her Majesty 'Full Moon' Renara, the Mugram knight is the first to follow and the most powerful among them ’” Mikaela said.

"The twelve knights are all famous and powerful heroes in the world, such as the mountain demon knight Boers, the pyroxene dragon Morlet, and the 'magic sword' Siren. They were already famous before they followed Queen Renara This is a strong team. Even so, there is still an unbelievable rumor circulating in Lienia—they say that Mugram Knight alone is enough to beat the sum of the remaining 11 people."

"Better than all the other Kalia knights combined?" Lucia was shocked when he heard this.

In the two battles of the Moon Tree, Kalia was able to draw a tie with the Golden Dynasty, relying on the unparalleled magic of the Full Moon Queen and the strength of the Kalia knights comparable to the golden heroes.

However, he understood that the number of heroes in the Western Expeditionary Army of the Golden Dynasty at that time had far surpassed that of the Kalia royal family. They are heroes on one side, but each of them has the strength of one enemy and many, so that they can forcibly contain the front of Ladagang with a number far inferior to that of the opponent.

To be able to surpass the other eleven Kalia knights with one's own strength, this kind of strength is no different from that of a peak demigod, right?
"During the second Battle of Moon Tree, my father served as the head coach of the Western Expeditionary Corps. He fought three times with the Mugram Knights. The first two battles took place in the city of Leidoyas and the Fortress of Kalia, and both ended in a draw. .”

"The last time was 14 years ago. The two countries, exhausted by the long war, gradually had the intention of negotiating peace. In addition, the front line has also spread the news of the mutual love between father and Queen Renala." See Lucia's strange voice Looking at me, Mikaela said helplessly: "Don't look at me like that. These things are not secrets to the people of Kalia and the people of the Golden Dynasty. My father also mentioned it to me a few years ago."

"That was the last battle between my father and the Mugram knight, and it was also the last battle between Golden Tree and Kalia. They did not bring any soldiers and horses. On Lake Yenia."

He paused for a moment, then sighed deeply: "During that battle, my father and the Mugram knight, who had never been injured during the entire Moon Tree Battle, both suffered heavy injuries. My father once told me that his injuries even Heavier than the Mugram Knight—and that's the closest he's come to death in all these years."

"If the Kalia mission wasn't led by the Mugram knights this time, I probably wouldn't be worried at all. In recent years, I heard that Queen Renala has been suffering from anxiety, and the situation is getting worse and worse. It has gradually reached the point where she can't handle the government affairs. No matter what you say about this matter, my father has an unshirkable responsibility. If Knight Mugram came here this time to ask for a crime, I’m afraid of him.”

"The situation shouldn't be that bad," Lucia muttered as he tapped the cup with his index finger, "I think you're a little bit concerned about it and it's messed up. The situation now is very different from 14 years ago. Gold, the full moon, After the alliance between the three dynasties of Gulong was completed, His Majesty Malika has long been the de facto co-lord of the world. In the final analysis, what happened back then was also Her Majesty Radagon who was recalled by her. The banquet the day after tomorrow only needs Her Majesty to be present, as long as Knight Mugram does not really plan to have With the Golden Dynasty tearing their skins apart, most likely they won’t do anything out of the ordinary.”

He looked straight into Mikaela's eyes, and said frankly: "There is nothing to hide between you and me. Kalia has been the most staunch ally of Sky City since the Battle of Moon Tree. I also know that you came to save today. I mean to test my attitude with three points—but since you have told me your worries bluntly, I can also give you a clear answer. The Kalia mission did not have any contact with us in advance for this operation, so to speak , do you understand what I mean?"

"If you don't contact Gu Long, that means they won't really make trouble, right?"

Mikaela showed a slightly bitter smile and said: "The word "probing" sounds a little sad. I really wanted to ask you about your attitude towards this matter before I came here, but as a friend, even if you really intend to stand On their side, I will try to convince you as well."

"Fortunately, now it seems that I don't need to worry about so many things," he breathed a sigh of relief, "Lucia, this time... thank you very much."

"Too serious," Lucia smiled easily, "I don't know many people here, and even fewer people care about them. If you're not so picky, you can barely count half of them except Marenia. Bar?"

"You." Mikaela rubbed her forehead speechlessly, and the guy's heavy heart made this guy talk nonsense, and it immediately dissipated a lot.

Under the lights, the two were relatively silent for a while, but after all they just smiled heartily.

　ps. The levels and attributes mentioned yesterday should not be interpreted as the attribute levels in the game. This is just a reference to the settings in the game.Referring to Samuel's level 215, the protagonist's current panel attributes have crossed the threshold of a hero.In addition, whether the equipment can be used has nothing to do with the attribute, and the battle between the two parties in this book is not about the size of the board.
