Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 4 Prophecy
The collision of fists and cheeks made a muffled sound of flesh and blood, and a pool of blood exploded. Eggerkiss used his dragon-like arm to strangle Samuel's collar tightly, his eyes seemed to spew out flames, "I will again Ask again, name, position, and who is the main messenger behind you!"

After all his divine power was suppressed by the dragon's breath seal, Samuel's figure had returned to the category of a normal person, and what was hidden under the eerie hood was not a sinister spirit, but a handsome man with a bit of vicissitudes. Middle-aged faces.

But at this time, he was like a puppet without a soul. No matter how much Aegis tortured and questioned him, he just swayed along with the opponent's strength. I can see the slightest mood swing from it.

Just now, Elder Yatok, who had recovered from his wounds, brought the latest casualty statistics. Of the 500 flying dragon warriors who accompanied him, three were killed and two were seriously injured. As for the total of 37 Storm Knights, 20 people were killed and two were seriously injured. [-] people.Therefore, at this moment, the leaders of the five missions in the Chinese camp, including Lucia, all wanted to crush Samuel to ashes.

"Stop first, Egg Kiss." Just as Egg Kiss was about to hit hard, Lucia's faint voice came from behind.

"Yes." He stepped aside when he heard the words, and watched his young lord slowly walk up to that damned god-skinned nobleman, and stared at him silently.

For a long while, Samuel, who had been pretending to be dead, finally turned his shoulders involuntarily. For some reason, the look in the pair of ice-blue eyes on the opposite side always made him feel very uncomfortable, as if all his weaknesses and flaws were hidden. There is nothing to hide, and everything is exposed to the other party's eyes.

This weird feeling didn't come out of thin air. Thinking about everything that happened just now, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how this kid put himself down.

"Aristocrat of the godskin?" Just when Samuel was about to growl, Lucia suddenly turned around, pacing and muttering.

Suddenly, he paused, looked back and sneered: "The world thought that His Majesty died in the battle with Queen Malika, but she didn't expect her to survive until this era—why, you thought you killed me, an ancient dragon and demigod, By provoking the conflict between Sky City and Rodel, will she have a chance to climb out of the gutter and restore her dynasty?"

As soon as this remark came out, the other four people in the tent stood up in shock at the same time, and the expression on Samuel's face that was originally calm was immediately replaced by an unconcealable astonishment, and then revealed a deep sense of panic and fear. He moved, as if he wanted to ask something.

At this time, a sudden change occurred, and a powerful will acted on him without warning, forcing him to close his eyes and mouth like an iron bucket!

In the next second, Samuel's eyelids slowly opened, but those light gray eyes burst out with a purple light like a starry night!

"Oh..." There was a low chuckle in his mouth, the strange thing is that the voice was not the low and arrogant tone when he broke the camp, but erratic and charming, full of the charm of imagination .

"I can't think of anyone remembering me in this era," 'Samuel' said leisurely, "Then, as a remnant of the remnant party from the previous era, I am fortunate to be remembered by a new demigod, right? Should I thank you well—Lucia Shanks?"

At this time, the instigator of this accident, Lucia himself, was completely stupefied. Originally, he just wanted to pretend to be confident to deceive this noble nobleman, and he could say a few words. What the hell is the operation of seizing the house face to face?

The Nighteye Queen who is in charge of "Destined Death", drives many god-skinned apostles to hunt down countless gods, and wrestles with the eternal queen Malika head-on, is really fucking alive!
"Protect Your Highness!" Aegis, who was the first to react, yelled loudly, and his violent figure turned into an afterimage and darted between Lucia and the robbed Samuel.

Guerrell and the two elders also acted almost at the same time, each showing their weapons to protect Lucia.Although they all knew very little about the Night-Eyed Queen, it did not prevent them from being aware of the danger of the current situation!
Less than ten steps away, the being who created a great panic as soon as he arrived just quietly looked at everything in front of him. In the silence, the air in the tent seemed to be stagnant, and the atmosphere seemed to be tense to the extreme. The strings, just waiting to break, will trigger a violent fight like a storm.

Just as the situation between the two parties reached its peak, "Samuel" suddenly let out a faint sigh.

"It's the first time I met you in such a situation. It's really ironic and boring." She looked at Lucia behind the human wall, with a faint wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and those dark eyes There is an obscure emotion in it.

"I don't understand what you mean," Lucia hesitated a little, "Isn't it because you sent someone to assassinate me that this happened?"

At this time, after recovering from the short-term panic, he still had a tentative mind. No matter what the other party answered, he would have a chance to deduce whether the assassination was planned by Queen Nighteyes herself, as well as her purpose and current state, etc. wait.
The queen, however, did not answer.

She just sighed again, looked at Lucia seriously and said, "Young dragon, if you have the ability, try to survive in this troubled world."

Speaking of which, the body of "Samuel" controlled by the dragon's breath seal suddenly ignited raging black flames, and together with the enchanted iron chains that bound him, it turned into disintegrated ashes. Before it completely disintegrated, the Queen's last sentence The words also fell away——

"Anything is possible as long as you live"

After a long time, looking at the pile of charred ashes on the ground, Guirel's confused voice broke the silence, "What the hell is she talking about?"

Not only the four people in this tent, most people in this era may not be able to understand the true meaning of Queen Xiaoyan's last words. The troubled times are just a joke. The current golden age is obviously the most prosperous civilization in thousands of years Is the period good?

If you don’t consider those barbaric areas that have not yet been included in the rule of the Golden Dynasty, the power system formed by Rodel, Kalia, and Sky City has truly achieved political success and prosperity, allowing more than 80.00% of the population of the border area to They all lived a prosperous and affluent life.

How come this kind of situation is inexplicably precarious in the mouth of the other party, and it needs to struggle desperately to survive?
But Lucia knew.

He knew that the so-called golden age would be as fleeting as a mortal's lifespan. From the beginning of the shattered war that swept across the continent, to the time when the entire border land was reduced to a purgatory full of living corpses, he knew that everyone All the high and mighty demigods would be swallowed up and annihilated by that catastrophe, and almost all those who survived became monsters with neither human nor ghost.

"Survive." He sighed silently in his heart, "It's really a difficult challenge."

At the same moment, an invisible energy escaped from the mass of charred ashes, and quietly sank into Lucia's chest without anyone noticing.
