Heart of the Castle

Chapter 707 Guangyao came to make me feel terrified

Accompanied by the low and majestic sound of the horn, the last heir of the Arthurian royal family, Her Majesty Queen Frasier Adams I, who has the irrefutable right to inherit the throne, stepped into the ancient Green Castle through the side door, accompanied by two iron guard knights. Hall.The nobles of the kingdom who had been whispering in the hall immediately fell silent, turned around in the direction of the throne, put their hands on the position of their hearts, and bowed deeply.

After seeing the figure of Her Majesty the Queen, Cardinal St. Nemok's pupils shrank slightly, and a slight surprise appeared on his face, because Queen Fleischer did not wear luxurious and magnificent clothes like the kings of other kingdoms. Instead of a robe inlaid with gold and treasures, he was wearing a splendid silver-white knight armor.With the eyesight of Cardinal St. Nemok, it can be seen that this armor is not the kind of thing to put on a pose in the ceremony. The material is made of precious enchanted metal or special alloy made by alchemy, with pieces of silver alloy scales Overlapping each other in a clever way, forming an excellent defense ability that will never lose to the steel plate armor, but the weight is only less than half of the steel plate armor.

If it hadn't been for the austere golden diadem on Queen Fleischer's head, and a knight of the iron guard holding the helmet for her, Cardinal St. Nemok would have thought that her majesty was going to the sword clanging The battlefield, instead of holding a banquet with a lot of wine, and even the famous sword of oath and victory of the Arthurian royal family hung on her waist.

Although it is rumored that this sword has disappeared with the fall of the capital of Fermeyer, similar rumors only have a market among the lower-level nobles and small citizens of the two eastern counties. This dismissive.The symbol of the royal family must be held in the hands of the orthodox king to be effective. Even if the oath and the sword of victory are really lost in the hands of the devil, it does not mean that these filthy creatures from the abyss have the right to sit on the golden throne of the Kingdom of Arthur .

Queen Fleischer stepped up to the high platform quickly, then turned around and looked around the vast hall of Green Castle, her gaze was as sharp as a sharp sword's edge, "Loyal subjects of the Kingdom of Arthur," she said slowly, her voice was soft, but there was a certain kind of With a majestic and majestic temperament, "Let us clap our hands to welcome the envoys from the Temple of Glory. They traveled thousands of miles from the Holy Mountain and brought His Majesty the Pope's concern and greetings to us."

After the words fell, Queen Fleischer applauded first, and the iron gloves collided with each other, making a series of crisp clangs, but the applause that followed in the banquet hall was not very enthusiastic, and the duration was quite short.The nobles in luxurious robes on the left side of the hall were quite polite. Among the knights and lords from the Northern County standing on the right side of the corridor, some of them didn't even bother to make the most perfunctory gestures.

No matter whether it was a noble family born in the royal capital or a rude lord born in the northern border, although there were huge differences between them, their views on the Temple of Radiance were surprisingly consistent.

The four counties in the south were occupied by demons, His Majesty King Arthur XII died unexpectedly, and the glorious capital of Fermeyer fell. Of course, all the sufferings suffered by the kingdom of Arthur should not be blamed on the glorious temple far away on the holy mountain. This sect, which claims to spread the light of the golden sun Flandara all over the world, has indeed not made any representations for more than a year, not even a single bit of support.

Under such circumstances, these nobles and lords were able to applaud with indifference, which was already a perfunctory move for the sake of what Queen Fleisher said just now.

This is a cold reception that members of the Temple of Glory have never experienced before. The smile on Cardinal St. Nemok's face suddenly became a little forced and stiff, and the expression of the head of the Triunician Oita was so gloomy that it almost dripped. .In the mind of this fanatic, not sincerely believing in the Lord of Radiance is already considered a sin, and daring to be hostile to the devout servants of the Lord of Radiance is a shameful shame that must be washed away with the holy flame .

Queen Fleischer glanced at the head of the court, Bamilian, who immediately took a step forward and raised his hand as a signal, and the already sparse applause in the hall stopped immediately.After waiting for the sound to completely disappear, Queen Fleisher continued to announce: "The next round of applause belongs to the guardian of Arthur's kingdom, our Lord Regent, His Excellency Levisstone! He just defeated a demon in Dirk City not long ago. The conspiracy planned jointly with the deceased, killed countless high-level demons and undead, and made the evil ghost of the deceased withdraw from the stage of history forever!"

Even with words like "the raging waves crashing on the shore", it is difficult to describe the astonishing uproar that resounded through the halls of Greencastle. The lords of the northern border shouted wildly one by one, jumping and jumping, shaking their helmets and sabers There were clanging noises; those wealthy nobles who were born in the royal capital were also very excited, and even the most reserved old guys showed sincere smiles.

Among them, a few of the country bumpkin lords they had always looked down upon hugged and turned around, but instead of being furious as usual, they responded with tolerant smiles, and even some young kings who had already married the northern lords The nobles took the initiative to join the noisy crowd.

Bamilian Yang, the head of the palace, raised his hand again to signal calmness, but this time no one cared about his actions at all, and the sound of cheers, applause and shouts reached a new climax when the figure of Levi Stern appeared at the main entrance of the hall, " Long live the Kingdom of Arthur." "Long live Her Majesty Queen Fleischer!" "The Lord Regent Levi Ston is invincible!" The cheers merged into an earth-shattering din, which not only swept through the wide hall that could accommodate hundreds of people, but also rushed out of the narrow hall. The high windows echo among the tall towers and watchtowers in the Green Castle.

Cardinal St. Nemok and the head of the Triunisian branch turned around almost at the same time, and they faced the direction of the gate together with the members of the mission. Emotions vary, but are mostly negative.

In the mind of Cardinal St. Nemok, this patron of the God of the Earth, who once made great achievements in battle, should be a man with a sharp appearance, sharp eyes, and resolute courage. , There must be an awe-inspiring feeling around you... If you don't mind offending, it is somewhat similar to Ingram, the commander-in-chief of the Knights of the Sentence Sword.

However, what the Cardinal did not expect was that the young man walking from the gate was too ordinary, including the armor on his body. If it wasn't for the golden griffin badge on the breastplate, it would be a It is no different from ordinary knights.In contrast, the two people walking beside the young man seemed even more eye-catching. One of them was covered from head to toe by a hideous thick black armor, and the visor on the helmet was not even opened. Hiding his face behind a black steel mask, the hilt of the crudely shaped two-handed giant sword slanted out of his right shoulder.The black-armored knight's armor and two-handed giant sword were obviously quite heavy, so that every time he took a step, the iron boots would make a heavy clang on the ground.

The other's attire was just the opposite, standing next to the black armored knight as if he had no clothes on.He only wore a studded leather vest, a plain white linen robe, and a pair of exquisitely handmade calfskin short boots. His long hair was not tied up, but let loose on his shoulders, like a molten golden waterfall poured down the same.

The man looked less like a knight and more like a court singer...or perhaps more aptly - some Queen's favorite jester, but Cardinal St. Nemok didn't miss this Around the man's waist hung a slender long sword that was more of a handicraft than a weapon. The scabbard was inlaid with gorgeous patterns of gold wire and jewels.The cardinal's eyes were swept away at first, but his heart suddenly moved, and then his eyes returned to the long sword, and he involuntarily took a breath of air.

The head of Triunisian Oita paid more attention to the black armored knight.The Temple of Glory has its own secret information collection channel. Before this mission, it has carried out detailed information collection work on the important figures in the Northern County of the Kingdom of Arthur. It is not difficult to collect information on the important ministers of the Kingdom. Even the Bamilian chief who is in charge of the Sleepless Eye intelligence organization, the eyeliner of the Guangyao Temple can roughly grasp his origin through some clues.Only a few people around the griffin lord Li Weiston were shrouded in an impenetrable fog, and even the best spies could not find any credible information.

This black-armored knight who called himself Sir Rodriguez was one of them. The information from the Shining Temple only showed that he possessed the strength of a sword-wielding earl, and he didn't appear by Li Weiston's side from the very beginning.This mysterious black-armored knight appeared for the first time at the critical moment of the bloody battle against Heihe. He easily beheaded the commander of the demon army - the vicious and prominent demon general Kleinus, thus laying the foundation for the final outcome of that cruel battle. victory.

The victory in the defense of the Black River gave the Kingdom of Arthur, which was already on the verge of collapse, a rare respite. It was also the first time that Li Weiston's name entered the vision of the high-level people in the Temple of Glory.Prior to this, no matter how the cardinals of the temple deduced, the situation facing the Kingdom of Arthur was extremely bad.Unless the Glory Temple puts out more than half of its power and dispatches the Knights of the Sword of Condemnation to fight the devil in a brutal bloody battle, there is absolutely no room for turning defeat into victory.

It is obviously not cost-effective for the Temple of Radiance to invest such a huge force and sacrifice for a kingdom in the north.In particular, the belief in this kingdom is not pure, and there are still beliefs in the Temple of the Earth, the Temple of the Storm, the Goddess of Life, and some other gods.Since these gods are either neutral or belong to the same camp as the Lord of Glory, the Temple of Glory has no way to blatantly deal with the believers of these gods, so after some discussions with the high-level of the temple, they made a decision to stand still and wait for changes .

This decision not only means that the Temple of Glory will stand by when this disaster strikes, it is also equivalent to pushing the 10,000+ believers of the Lord of Glory in the Kingdom of Arthur to a desperate situation. Even Ingram, the head of Sword of Condemnation, raised objections.In the eyes of this leader, giving up his life to spread the glory of the Lord of Radiance should be the highest honor for all devout believers of the Lord of Radiance. He will not tolerate the abyssal demons raging in the world.

Although the supreme power of the Temple of Glory belongs to His Majesty the Pope, the four heads of the Knights of the Apologists, and the four cardinals, in fact, neither the head nor the cardinal will treat Nicholas St. Do not question the decision of His Majesty the Pope.The only exception may be Ingram Siegfried, head of the Sword of Condemnation. This fanatic possesses incredible legendary strength. In terms of strength, it was completely suppressed.

No one knows how His Majesty the Pope finally persuaded the head of the Ingram. It's a high position.However, from the beginning to the end, he failed to get a positive answer from the head of the Ingram, but was warned meaningfully by the head of the head that all glory goes to our Lord Flandala.

All glory to our Lord Flandara, this sentence was originally spoken by a martyred pope in the Temple of Glory hundreds of years ago, and can be seen on the title page of every religious book in the Temple of Glory arrive.Of course Triunician is very familiar with it, but thinking of the strange change in the stubborn attitude of Chief Ingram, Captain Oita couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"If the Knights of the Sword of Condemnation entered the Kingdom of Arthur in large numbers at that time, these honors would have belonged to us!" Triunisian clenched his fists and stared fiercely at Sir Rodriguez, "It's just a mere sword-wielding It's just the count...it's just..." His brows suddenly frowned, grooves as deep as canyons appeared on his forehead, and the muttering in his mouth disappeared.

Cardinal St. Nemok originally observed Triunicion's movements from the corner of his eye, and his heart was full of bitterness of worry.No one knows better than him what the group of fanatics of the Sword of Condemnation can do. Most of the clergymen and apologist knights of the Temple of Radiance are more self-cultivated, but this does not include any of the Knights of the Sword of Condemnation. members.The cardinal is very worried that his deputy to the mission will suddenly ask the griffin lord Liviston—or someone around him, such as the black armored knight Rodriguez—to ask for a duel. Regardless of the outcome, this mission will end in failure ahead of schedule.

But today may be a day full of miracles. What the Cardinal was worried about did not happen until Levi Ston and his party walked in front of Triunisian, the head of the Oita Knights of the Sword of Conviction. They all looked thoughtful, and even the hand on the hilt of the sword relaxed.

Seeing Li Weiston stopped beside the huge round table, Cardinal St. Nemok breathed a sigh of relief, and touched Triunisian next to him with his hand, "Brother Triuni," he said. He lowered his voice and asked, "You seemed a little thoughtful just now, did you see something unexpected like me?"

Triunicion let out a breath, turned his head with a stiff expression, and there was much more surprise than anger in his tone, "Lord Cardinal, I don't know what you saw just now, but I...I think ...I saw the Chief Commander..."

If it weren't for his calm personality, Cardinal St. Nemok would have almost exclaimed, "Brother Treuni, what are you talking about?" His voice was lowered, and he asked a question in a hurried tone, "What is the chief? Lord Ingram Siegfried of the Sword of Condemnation?"

"No, it's not." Triunician shook his head vigorously, finally waking up from the shock, "My lord cardinal, please forgive me, there is something wrong with my statement just now. That black-armored knight...is called Luo The man in Driggs...is probably stronger than me, I can feel the danger, the danger is very oppressive, just like...the one I faced when I faced the commander-in-chief Ingram in the arena It feels the same!"

"What? The feeling when facing Chief Ingram!" Cardinal St. Nemok leaned back, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly, "Brother Treuni, what do you mean... ...that black-armored knight is a legendary powerhouse?"

"Legendary strongman... that's not sure, after all, when Commander Ingram defeated me, he didn't use the original power he possessed." Triunician's tone was bitter as if he had just eaten a full meal. Take the unripe berries, "But at least it's a sky knight. Those eyeliners should be damned, and the guy who sorts out the information should be damned. The green lion Marquis Osiris of the Kingdom of Arthur did stay in the elven kingdom of the Emerald Forest, but this The strength of Sir Rodriguez will only become stronger!"

"There are two things that are so bad..." Cardinal St. Nemok's voice seemed to be squeezed through his teeth, "The blond young man in a white burqa next to Levi Stone is also a huge man. I don’t know how strong he is, but the long sword on his waist... If I remember correctly, it should be the enemy of the dragon, the Holy Sword of Light—the Golden Dawn! During the Dragon War a hundred years ago, the Angel of Dawn held the holy sword of light and swept across the dragon camp, and as many as ten legendary dragons fell under the sword!"
