Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 278 The past events of the dynasty
It was approaching evening, and the storm that had been common these days broke out on the sea again. Silver lightning was like a thick dragon snake swimming in the depths of the dark purple clouds. The strong wind blew one powerful wave after another and slapped on the side of the ship. , even the heavy and majestic body of the magic sailboat couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Lucia's exclusive ship, except for the direct guards of Sky City, prohibits other people from approaching. At this time, in the wind and rain of this intensity, no one will notice a visitor who arrives quietly.

After receiving Lucia's permission, a figure wearing a small Storm Knight armor quickly opened the door and flashed in. As the other person took off his helmet, a slightly green girl's face was revealed from below.

At first glance, the humanoid appearance of Adulla is quite similar to Guirel. After all, they both belong to the bloodline of top-level flying dragons. They are both handsome and reveal a trace of heroism, but upon closer inspection, there are many differences.

Compared to Guirel's sassiness and confidence, the temperament between Adura's brows seemed colder and alienated, like a hard stone that had weathered the elements for a long time. The hardness contained aloofness from the inside out.

Like Freya who followed Lance back to Fam Azra three years ago, Adura still retains two small dark silver dragon horns on her forehead. Of course, unlike the former who has just learned to transform, she It's completely intentional.

Except for the rare moments when she has to be shown in front of others, Adura will maintain this appearance with obvious dragon characteristics. Even if she never mentions the reason for doing so, Lucia can guess a lot——

This is to remember the bloodline and identity of being a dragon, especially for a lost dragon who has been helpless since the demise of the Storm Dynasty.

"Your Highness." Adura held his helmet in his left hand, bowed deeply and apologized, "Please forgive me for being rude just now. I accidentally called you by your first name."

"It doesn't matter," Lucia waved her hand casually, indicating for her to take a seat, and said, "Only the people of Fam Azra need to call me Your Highness. As for the status of demigods and gods, as far as I am concerned, It’s nothing.”

Hearing this, Lucia frowned slightly and said: "I had too many things on my hands a few days ago, and I never had time to ask you - after all, you are also an upright semi-finalist in the duel competition, so you can just accept the reward and leave openly. , Even if those magic organizations are interested in you, they won't make a big deal out of it on this occasion, but why do you look so afraid of them? "

"I underestimated Rhea Lucalia's defensive strength. If it hadn't been for your timely help this time, I would probably have been blocked by the Seamo mages. Let alone returning to Galede, it would have been a problem for me to escape safely."

Adura's expression was slightly stagnant, and she did not continue the topic. She sat on the sofa in the living room, put her helmet on her closed legs, and said slightly cautiously: "In addition, I also want to do something for you when I come here this time. I would like to formally thank you for helping me get out of trouble earlier.”

He glanced at the young Huishilong in front of him with a smile and said: "Before you decide to return to the Ancient Dragon Dynasty, you are free to call me whatever you want."

"This." Upon hearing the question, Adura lowered his head lower and hid his expression in the shadow of the candlelight.

The delicate silence lasted for a few breaths. Just when Lucia was about to reveal the truth, Adura raised his head and glanced at him. His hesitant expression gradually calmed down and he said, "Have you ever heard of it among the people, Your Highness?" The title "Swallowing Magician"?

Lucia was stunned. She had heard it before, but in her previous life.

Speaking of which, he always thought that Adura's becoming the legendary "Swallowing Magician" should be further back in the timeline. After all, at this time, she was still not well-known as a pyroxene dragon, and the Moonlight Sword was far from becoming famous in future generations. Brilliant stunt. But now listening to what Yadula meant, it turned out that this incident happened when she was young.

"I have swallowed more than sixty magicians, of which there are no less than ten from the academy. Maybe it is because of the blood of my ancestors, or maybe my body is somewhat special. I can have this magic power now, mostly because of them. Given.”

"But Your Highness -" Adura spoke quickly and added with a hint of anxiety, "I have never eaten any of the magicians from the Kaliya royal family."

"Uh"

Lucia's old waist swayed and she almost couldn't keep up with this guy's strange brain circuit. After reacting, several black lines could not help but hang on his forehead and said: "It's none of my business whether you have eaten Master Kalia, let's get to the point! "

"Yes," Adura nodded cautiously and continued, "I just reported to you before that I am a descendant of the Storm Dynasty, but my true identity is actually the deputy leader of the Royal Guards Knights - Powder Stone Daughter of Ronscan Wade.”

"After my father died in the battle with the Queen, many magicians from major organizations participated in the Golden Dynasty's pursuit of the Storm survivors. Many of them longed for the power of the Dragon Clan, and even more coveted the precious bones and blood of the Dragon Clan. . My mother, brother, and sister all died in the pursuit of the Angni Guild and the Orkan Warlock Alliance. Only I escaped and fled to Galede. "

Lucia's expression was solemn. What Adulla was talking about was by no means a tragedy that only belonged to one family, but a disaster that was experienced by many people of the Storm Dynasty in the 32 to 35 years of the Golden Calendar.

Back then, High Priest Gulan Sanks led an army to besiege Rodel, and at the same time sent a partial force to support the Storm Dynasty. However, the partial force encountered a strong resistance from the Golden Dynasty's Eastern Expedition Army. Halfway through, news came that Stonewell City had been destroyed and the Storm Queen had died in battle. news.

Later, although War King Godfrey explicitly banned all persecution against the Storm People, the Eastern Expedition Corps was already criticized for its military discipline. In addition, secretly, various forces were carving up the dynasty's legacy without regard to means. For a time, the entire Ningmu Gefu continent almost turned into a purgatory on earth.

The Storm Dynasty is the longest-standing human dynasty. Its earliest history is comparable to that of the ancient Wud people, the people of the ancestral spirits, and the Eternal City. Therefore, in the mainstream cultural system after the recovery era, the vast majority of humans regard Nim. Gefu regarded it as the place of origin.

This catastrophe not only wiped out nearly one-third of the people of the Storm Dynasty, but also laid the foundation for the endless rebellions in the southern region that lasted for many years.

According to folk rumors, a large part of the reason why the King of War was exiled by the Eternal Queen was due to the mistakes he made during the Storm War. Without going into details about whether it is true or not, the residual poison of that war is already evident.

"I remember that the partial division sent by High Priest Qulan to the south reached a ceasefire agreement with the Eastern Expedition, and the War King allowed them to go south to receive and appease the refugees," Lucia recalled. "Why didn't you ask them for assistance at that time? "

"Are you talking about Caeronissa and his army?" Adura smiled coldly. "Without them, perhaps the remnants of the former storm would not have been on the verge of annihilation."
