Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 60 Dilemma
The next morning, Lucia sat alone in the study, staring at the gilded invitation letter in her hand, and fell into deep confusion.

The content of the invitation letter is very simple. It is nothing more than that Radagon will hold a banquet at the shore of Rodel Lake tomorrow at noon to entertain the Kalia mission from afar. He also emphasized that all demigods are brothers and sisters. Ask him to make time to attend Yunyun.

What is not simple is the nature of this invitation letter. This is not the previous official letter from the Eternal Palace issued in the dual names of Malika and Radagon, but a private letter from Radagon alone. It was also his private seal—that is to say, legally, this invitation has nothing to do with Queen Malika, and it can be completely understood as a personal invitation from Ladagon.

As for Her Majesty the Queen who was supposed to attend the banquet as the core figure, she suddenly announced this morning that she would attend the Memorial Ceremony of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps held in Rhoderia Town.The ceremony will last for three days. Before the trip, the Queen specially invited Lance Shanks, the priest of the ancient dragon, and Godwin's eldest son Greg and his bastard Gefuya by the way.

All this happened extremely suddenly. The ancient dragon knight sent by Lance Sanks to report the matter to Lucia had not even reached the Valyrian Palace, when the traveling team led by the queen had already left the inner city of Rodel.

In the short letter sent by the ancient dragon knight, Lance Shanks mentioned that the Queen's trip was mostly to stagger tomorrow's lakeside banquet, and asked Lucia to be as careful as possible in these two days, and go directly to the ancient dragon in case of any accident. For the temple, she has issued an order in advance to all the ancient dragon knights. At that time, in addition to the [-] storm knights who have been guarding the Valyrian temple, Lucia can temporarily mobilize more than [-] ancient dragon knights for self-protection.

However, the changes in the situation have finally exceeded Lance Shanks' prediction. Originally, the muddy water between Radagon and Mugram could not touch Lucia, but since the invitation letter arrived in Valyria From the moment you enter the temple, everything is very different.

Lucia let out a breath of foul air slowly, and made various guesses and thoughts in her mind.

I have to admit that Queen Malika's way of staying out of the matter is extremely clever. To put it bluntly, it can be interpreted as leaving enough private space for Radhagang and his children, allowing them to talk about their old feelings, and then let Radha The three brothers and sisters in the family gradually accepted her existence as a "stepmother".

But if you think about the worst, as the recognized co-lord of the world, as long as she is present, even if there is a conflict at the banquet tomorrow, it will be difficult to evolve to the point of no control. Shunyan will not tear face with Queen Malika.

Therefore, she simply withdrew, and easily eliminated all the buffer space at the banquet, and also made all the ideas Lucia and Mikaela made yesterday into empty talk.

As for Ladagang, Lucia was really not sure what the other party meant.

As the biggest opponent of his identity as a god-man, the relationship between Ladagon and himself has almost been called tit-for-tat, as evidenced by the bloody conflicts between the Ancient Dragon Temple and the new party nobles in various places a month ago-however, the tone in the invitation letter was different. It was obviously not a routine, but really wanted him to attend, and even showed a relatively relaxed attitude unprecedentedly.

What do you want to do, expect him to act as the atmosphere adjustment team for tomorrow, and help hold down all the Kaliars who may cause trouble when the situation is not good?
Just kidding, his friendship with Kalia is still in his previous life. Among them, his friendship with Lataen and Lakad is limited to the big rune that he inherited after successfully killing them. How can it be his turn to fight? ah!

The only explanation is that Radagon took a fancy to the Sky City force he represented. As an ally who jointly resisted the Golden Tree more than ten years ago, Gu Long held a pivotal position in the eyes of the Kalia people.Perhaps what he really wanted to invite was the more important Lance Shanks, but when she was invited to leave by the queen in advance, he had no choice but to choose himself.

Thinking of this level, Lucia suddenly froze in place—since the Queen had made plans to draw out the bottom line, and even Sister Lance had considered it, why did she keep him in the capital?

Is this a leeway for Ladagon, or a test for himself?
The bright light from the window shone in, and Lucia was in a trance for a while. When he first saw the queen's girlish innocent and agile eyes, he came to his mind again. However, this time, he only felt that those eyes were like a cold The abyss made him feel cold all over.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm down.

Now he is really caught in a dilemma - if he refuses to accept the invitation, he will completely disgrace Ladagang. Although his status as a god-man has been rejected by him before, and the new party and the temple have also fought, they have not arrived At the point of full-scale war, of course, the conflict should not be intensified now. Besides, Michaela and Marlenia will definitely attend the banquet tomorrow. Thinking of those two people, he is a little worried after all.

But if he accepts it, the Mugram knight will come aggressively. Once the two parties clash, how will he deal with himself as the only outsider present?

He thought about who he could discuss this matter with, and now that Sister Lance had gone to Rhoderia with the Queen, she naturally couldn't give any advice.Although Mikaela has outstanding intelligence and is his good friend, but he is a real insider after all, and he has an unbroken blood relationship with Radagon, so it is impossible for me to force him to make a choice.

And at this moment, Mikaela must have known the news of the Queen's temporary visit to Rhoderia earlier than him, and must have known that this invitation letter was in front of his desk.He didn't take the initiative to discuss this matter, and he didn't even bring Marenia to the Valyrian Palace for a visit. s Choice.

As for the two elders around him, Aegis, Guerrell and others, most of them are only good at force, and their position and information are exactly the same as their own, no matter how much they discuss, they can't get rid of the current embarrassing situation.

While he was struggling, he suddenly thought of a person, or an existence - two fingers "Epsilon".

As an envoy appointed by the supreme will to serve him on the path of gods, perhaps he is the only one who can help him solve his current predicament.

Thinking of this, Lucia immediately ordered the car to prepare, and went straight to the Two Fingers Church.
