Summoning the Holy Sword

The bell rang.

The heavy impact echoed in the Mithril Hall, everyone's ears were tingling slightly.

The meeting is about to begin.

Members of the parliament stood in the preparation hall, looking at each other sadly, but could not say anything. In front of them, there were four old men in red robes, different from their frowning colleagues. At the moment, the four old men were smiling with a triumphant smile.

"The meeting is about to begin, everyone, I think you should know what to do."

"..............."

Hearing them, the rest of the members of the council could not help showing satire. One of them even wanted to say something, but he just moved his body slightly and was immediately restrained by the sharp sword. However, when he saw the actions of the other party, one of the old men in the red robe immediately moved his finger, and then the guard standing beside the legislator stood back immediately.

"Say, I won't take away your right to speak. What are your thoughts? You can speak freely here, you too, isn't this why we are standing here?"

"Your approach is nothing more than to bring destruction to the Solagang Mountain Territory !!"

At this moment, the senator who had left the sword immediately drank. He clenched his fists and stared angrily at the four people in front of him.

"Say what it takes to stay in the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, then we can keep prosperity forever, but have you ever thought that we are in the gap between the Dragon Kingdom of the Night and the Dragon Kingdom of Light, so that we can make a choice without authorization, One carelessness will put the entire mountain collar on the verge of destruction !!! "

"This is all a cliché. Gambling has to pay for capital, and we know each other very well. The reason why we chose the Dragon Kingdom of the Night ........." Speaking here, one of the old men in the red robe suddenly raised his voice and he went on In the previous step, the anger-like momentum enveloped the entire room in an instant, so that the person who had originally scolded him stepped back involuntarily.

"The Dragon Kingdom of Light is too deceiving, their oppression and crushing of us are almost insatiable! Because of that **** nature treaty, we have to separate out some minerals for sale to them every year, but those greedy **** What? They are not even the cost price !! Everyone, we all know how many times we have demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall in this year and year meeting to do for the workers in those mines. Compensation? Every year the crystal ore from the Solagang Mountains is astronomical, but why are there miners who ca n’t eat enough? Why is this? They are asking me, and now I ask you, who is it? "

Here, the old man waved his hand.

"It's the **** **** of the kingdom of light. They are greedy, unruly, and wanton to lower prices. But when we sell them to them at a low price, what are they talking about? They complain that the minerals we give them are no better than the dark There are many Dragon Kingdoms. They claim that we are the running dogs of the Dragon Kingdom of the night. They claim that we have betrayed the living and the humans! This is the bastard's face! They squeezed our blood and sweat and turned back and complained to us! Are these not facts? We work and live here hard, just to be insulted by others and treated as slaves ?! "

"Of course this is a problem, and none of us here have denied that it is a problem !!!"

I don't know if it was to build momentum or to argue, but the person who backed up stepped forward again.

"The issue of the Dragon Kingdom of Light does cause a lot of trouble for the Solagang Mountain Territory. I don't deny this, but this is politics! Politics needs compromise and negotiation! Instead of quarreling with children, I hate you, I Just go with the person you hate. This is not such a simple thing! Indeed, we are very disgusted with the Dragon Kingdom of the Light, but what about the Dragon Kingdom of the Night? Why are they willing to buy at market prices fairly, openly and fairly? Is our output just to gain a good reputation for ourselves? Members, we live here, and you have also come into contact with many humans who have fled here from the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, that is the kingdom of the undead, the living There is no status there, they are just slaves, pariahs, food, and their bodies cannot be rested even after death, but they are permanently converted into one of the undead spirits to serve those dark and evil beings. Do n’t you I never expected that if we chose to join the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, would we be treated the same? No! Maybe we do n’t The undead are still very generous to their subordinates. If we are willing to abandon our dignity as human beings and pray for false eternal life, maybe we can become a corpse witch or a vampire, but what about other people? They are human beings, if we Accepted the asylum of the Dragon Kingdom of the night, what about their status? "

Having said that, he took another half step forward and frowned.

"Indeed, I admit that the greed of the Dragon Kingdom makes us uncomfortable, but do n’t forget that because we are currently neutral, the Dragon Kingdom of the Night will obediently do what we say , Because they know that we are living beings. Although the words of the maggots in the kingdom of light are disgusting, we have to admit that when facing the threat of death, we always yearn for light and life. If the dragon kingdom of the night chooses and shines The Dragon Kingdom also lowers prices and squeezes our resources and manpower. Then we will definitely choose the Dragon Kingdom of the Light, and the goodness of the Night Kingdom is probably now, if we really seek the shelter of the Night Kingdom, Then, after that, we will completely lose our identity of reading autonomy, and we will be reduced to the same fate as the living beings in the kingdom of the night! "

Speaking of which, he could not help raising his hands high, a little excited.

"This is a sweet trap, don't you see it? We can't release our hands, even if the hands are filled with thorns, it's better than falling into the poisonous snake's nest !! "

"The question you said is of course clear."

Facing the other party's doubts and accusations, the old man in red robe sighed slightly. At that moment, his original resolute face suddenly became a little more tired and old than before.

"We are all members of the parliament. We all work for this land. My colleagues, how can I not know? In fact, I know very well that there are many forces behind the decision we made this time. They may not be happy, but they will be shaken. We are risking our people, but ... "

Having said that, the old man gritted his teeth and he glanced at the heavily guarded guards around him.

"We don't have much time."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing here, the members of the House of Representatives couldn't help but hesitated. In fact, this was the first time they had met with these rebellious colleagues. Since the disappearance of the old parliament leader, they have been controlled separately. Stay in your own home. Although these people also have their own way of inquiring about the news, in fact, they have only heard about it cryptically.

"I can tell you, I know what you think, I can swear here with my reputation, we absolutely have no plan to murder the old parliamentary president, but ... sometimes ... we have to avoid bigger ones Sacrifices and make choices. "

Having said that, the old man in red robe spread his hands.

"... During the time we are talking, the danger is gradually approaching. We have no time and must make a decision as soon as possible. You are right, seeking dark asylum will put us in long-term danger, but ............ "

Having said that, the old man in red robe paused.

"But if we are about to be destroyed, then we will never have the opportunity to experience the long-term danger."

"What do you mean?"

"Please make it clear !!!"

"We want to know the answer !!"

"Please tell us the truth !!"

After hearing this sentence, the lawmakers finally couldn't help shouting. They were not idiots. After hearing the old man's sentence, they soon realized that things didn't seem so simple. This time the parliament made this decision. It had not been discussed with the Dragon Kingdom of the Night before, which seemed unbelievable to members of the House, but now ... at this time, an old, thick voice suddenly sounded.

"I'll tell you !!!"

Hearing this voice, the crowd raised their heads and happened to see the old parliament president open the door and walked into the room.

"Master of Parliament!"

Seeing his appearance, everyone could not help screaming, and the old man nodded to them, then he glanced at Rhodes, who was standing behind him, still silent.

"It's not bad that I can come back alive. Some people don't like seeing me so much, and now it looks like they really let them down."

The old councilor stared coldly at the four red robe old men, but unexpectedly, in the face of his glaring, the four old men did not flinch at all, they still looked up, with extremely firm conviction Looking at the old parliamentarians, at this moment, they seemed to jump from a villain who had been in power to a hero who resisted power. This sudden and strange contrast made many people be stunned.

"I can tell you the truth ...... No, it should be said that I would have told you the truth without the troubles that happened before."

Having said that, the old parliamentary paused, he went to the center of the room, looked up at his colleagues and subordinates.

"In fact, a few months ago, Parmal and others approached me and reported something to me ........." Speaking here, the old parliament sighed, he looked at Rhodes, and then He quickly looked away, then lowered his head.

"He told me that the gap between the seals was loose."

"... ……………………"

no respond.

Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment and stood still, while hearing the words of the old parliament president, Rhodes standing behind him frowned.

Seal gap.

The word is definitely not a good sign whether it is in the game or reality, whether it is in the task or the copy. In fact, in the game, the player has two most feared system prompts, one is [xxboss starts to mutate], and the other is [discovered gaps].

Although these two words have different meanings, in general, there is only one result for the player.

That is mass destruction.

The old parliament leader ignored Rhodes' thoughts, and he still spoke to his colleagues.

"Pamar they talked to me. They want to rely on the power of the Dark Dragon, but I don't think so. We have lived on this land for generations. We have the ability to protect this land ... And, at the cost of the future, it is a bit too high. We cannot afford this sacrifice. This is not just the sacrifice and death of our generation, but eternal despair ... "

"But, but ... Lord Parliament ..."

At this time, another member of parliament spoke up. He was not one of the four old men in red robes, but at this moment there was a little more fear and worry in his face.

"I, we ..."

"Well, I have decided."

Without waiting for his colleagues to finish, the old councilman waved his hands.

"The bell is over, the meeting is starting, let's go!"

After that, the old man nodded at Rhodes.

"Thank you for your help, but that's all I can say now."

After saying this, the old councilor walked into the passage between the other side of the preparation, and Rhode stood still, staring at the back.

At this moment, he finally realized that things were not easy.

As Rhodes expected, motivation and state of affairs were irrelevant. The previous quarrel Rhode and the old parliament heard before entering the room. Sure enough, the oppression of the kingdom of light was just an excuse, or in other words, it was a relatively easy excuse. Sometimes excuses are used to conceal the real idea, and now Rhodes can conclude that the reason why the Solagang Mountain Leadership Council used this as an excuse is to blind the Dragon Kingdom of the Night and the Dragon Kingdom of the Light. Let them know the truth hidden in it. For the people, this excuse is easier for them to accept.

So what's hiding behind this excuse?

Rhodes is not very clear. He used to make inferences based on the development of the game, but now it seems that things seem far more complicated. The resolution made by the Solagang Mountain Territory Council is not that they are coerced by people. Although it may seem to be coerced, at least the reason is not from either side of the Dragon of Light and the Dragon of Night. On the contrary, the mountain terrain seems to have consciously used the power of both sides and made a gambling adventure. ……… what is the mountain leader thinking about? As the old president said before, no matter what kind of disaster, it should not be at the cost of betting on the future ... But if there is no future, what's the point?

This is like the earth is about to be swallowed by a black hole. If there are aliens coming to the rescue, the condition is to make the earth people become slaves of the aliens. Will they agree or not agree?

Thought of this, Rhodes suddenly shivered.

Almost inexplicably, he remembered something that was totally unreliable now--that was still behind. When the Dragon Kingdom of the Night invaded Muen, the Duchy of Muen fell back under the might of the undead. It wasn't until His Royal Highness Lydia's own shot that the battle was stabilized. At that time, the Dark Dragon suddenly withdrew from the battlefield for a day. No one knew what the Dark Dragon had done on this day, but after that, there were Players heading to the Solagang Mountain Territory complained that the Solagang Mountain Territory had been completely destroyed, because it also made the Solagang Mountain Territory a laughing stock for everyone on the forum. In the player's view, those leading parties chose to join the dark night The Dragon Kingdom was eventually destroyed by the other party.

But is it really so?

The inexplicable cold air ran straight down the head of Rhode's feet.

The Soragang Mountain Territory contains magic crystals. This is a rare place of order and stability at the junction of Dragon Souls. Magic crystals are not strange, because the magic of this chaotic point of junction has always been outstanding, and even the environment here is quite Degree of transformation. Because of this, people born in the Solagang Mountains have more or less natural elemental power. But stable order is rare, rare, and even unique.

Then the next question and answer are, the Dragon Soul of the Light and the Dragon Soul of the Night each occupy one third of the land on the continent, and the junction of the Dragon Soul spreads indefinitely. Why is such a long distance on the border? Only Solangang Mountain is so unique?

Is it born? Or artificial?

In the past, Rhodes and many players always only thought that the Solagang Mountains were born with good luck, but now it seems that at least from the words of the old president, this is definitely not good luck. Obviously, the Solagang Mountains have a relatively stable environment because there is some kind of seal here, it seals something, and the border area benefits from it. Gained a stable mountain terrain.

What can be sealed can also show a certain degree of order in the borderline that was originally chaotic. The so-called negative and positive can seal things here. Is it that ... Can not help but clenched his fists, he stared at the figure of the old parliament.

If Rhodes were to choose, if he knew the news half a step earlier, then he would not hesitate to kill the old parliament leader, and then let the night dragon country take up the trouble, but now he has no way to do so. But what about the Principality of Munn? Did Grand Lydia really know nothing about this? Supervisor, I have always felt that this position is weird. Now I want to come. Isn't the so-called supervisor watching the mountainous territory, but monitoring something here?

If Grandpa Lydia knew what was happening here, what would she mean to send herself over?

Or, is there anything else in this matter that you did not know that Her Royal Highness knew?

Rhode raised his right finger and placed it next to his mouth.

"Marin, you retreat immediately."

Then he said categorically.
