Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"Forget it, it seems you don't know anything. So, do you know that she discovered your secret possession of armored soldiers and secret meetings with envoys from neighboring countries?" Roland asked again.

Marek's eyes narrowed and his tone was surprised: "When did she know?"

Damn it, this old guy is a complete waste.Unfortunately, I still thought he had some back-up plan, and he was being manipulated by Elizabeth.Roland cursed in his mind.

"You don't know anything, so there's no need to save your life." Roland signaled Farrugia to take action directly. Marek, sensing the danger, yelled frantically: "No, no, no, no, I'm still useful, I'm still useful! I've already I have surrendered to the Holy Empire of France, and Duogu City is now the territory of the empire!! The empire’s envoys are resting in my house, and the empire will definitely not let you go if I die!”

Roland was stunned, stopped what he was doing in Farrugia's hands, and asked, "Holy Empire of France? Why did they send their envoys here?"

Seeing that Roland heard the name of the 'Holy Empire of France', Marek thought that he was afraid, so he relaxed a little, and his tone was a little tougher, of course just a little bit, after all, the knife was still on his neck.

The city lord said: "Of course I am here to liberate the people of the Charles Empire who are living in dire straits! As the city lord of Duogu City, I have long been dissatisfied with the oppression of the Charles Empire! Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally surrender!"

This is the first time I've seen someone talk about treason in such a high-sounding, fresh and refined way, and if it weren't for the fact that your city lord's mansion and the ordinary people's houses outside are not painted in the same style, I would really believe it.

"What about the envoy?" Roland asked.

A young voice at the door replied: "I'm here. Ouch, what's going on? Did I come at the wrong time? How about you solve your personal problems first, and I'll come back later?"

When the Lord Marek saw the person coming, he shouted excitedly: "Lord Langet! Please help me! These thieves are too audacious!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I said Marek, don't be impatient." The messenger, known as Langet, wore a white metal mask with a sword and iris on it, and his appearance was indistinguishable.He saw Robert and the others pointing their crossbows at him, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, everyone makes money by being harmonious. It's really troublesome to do anything."

"You don't seem to care much about Marek's life or death?" Roland discovered this problem, and Langert was not nervous that Marek was in a dangerous situation.

Langert even moved a bench that had been thrown at the door due to the commotion just now, patted the dust with his hands and sat down.He said: "You are indeed not the mercenaries of Regeas. I am quite confident in my own memory. We have seen too many people like Lord Marek. If one of them dies, he will risk it again." There are countless of them, so it doesn’t matter at all. For example, the group of guards you are tied up with now, you can choose any one to continue to be the city lord of the ancient city. On the contrary, I am very interested in you. "

"Golden Dynasty, I have been familiar with history books since I was a child. Whether it is the Imperial Citizen Library or the Internal Affairs Library, there has never been a record of the Golden Dynasty. What makes me most curious is that you actually came out of the Endless Forest, and the thousand-year history of the Empire appeared I have passed countless Dharma Saints and Martial Gods, but I can't conquer even an inch of the endless forest."

"Do you know why? Because the strength of those talented Dharma Saints and Martial Gods dropped sharply after entering the Endless Forest. In the 100th year since the founding of the French Empire, Latour II personally led the famous dragon Xiang and Feng Yi to conquer the country. The founding regiment of the People's Republic of China includes a total of 8 Dharma Saints, 10 Martial Gods, and a total of 34897 other elite soldiers."

"But no one came back. Latour II had no heirs left, and the empire was in chaos. Civil war, reunification, and now the Holy Empire of France is like this. When I heard that you came, I thought it would be Latour in history. Descendants of Tour II and his troops, but after looking at your insignia, I confirm that they are not them."

"Because neither Latour II nor the families in the two war groups use a tree and a lion as their emblem, you are a force that is completely unknown and unknown to the world. What you yourself are The value is priceless to the empire, and I don't want to be at odds with you. If you want to do anything to the Lord Marek, please do so." The messenger shrugged easily and returned the reins of Marek's life to Roland.

After Langet finished speaking, he really didn't look at Marek again. Instead, he curiously picked up a pepper shaker that rolled to his feet, opened it, smelled it and raised his eyebrows.

Then he shamelessly put this into his pocket, which made Roland twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. City Lord Marek can't enjoy this pepper anyway, so I can just get a bottle, right?" Langert even found that Roland actually looked at him. Ask if you can take it away.

Roland tilted his head: "Okay, it's just a bottle of pepper. If you want it, I'll give it to you. Do you, the French Empire, speak as nicely as you do?"

"Oh, that's so polite." When Langote heard this, he smiled all over his face. Under the wary eyes of Ikosela and others, he actually picked up the bottles and cans on the ground, and then replied Said: "Maybe I'm easier to talk to. My colleagues are too rigid. They fight each other if we don't agree with each other. It's so tiring. We chat in a harmonious manner, and we don't have any deep hatred. If we can talk, we can solve the problem. Isn’t it great?”

"No, Lord Langet, you can't do this to me!" Marek's head was pressed to the ground and he began to shout desperately.

Langat was looking at the cream can that Marek wanted to open before. He heard Marek's shout and then picked his ears: "It's useless for you to yell at me so loudly, Lord Marek. You have no value to me now, do you understand? Well, this cream is good, I have never tasted such sweet cream."

Then he looked up at Roland and said, "If you can't do it, do you need me to do it for you? I want to talk to you again. He's a little bit disturbing to me."

Roland said: "It's okay, there's nothing he can do anyway. But I don't think we have anything to talk about. The goal of the French Empire behind you is to seize Duogu City. Unfortunately, our goal is also Duogu City."

"That's easy. I'll give this town to you." Langert answered simply and yawned.

I believe you are the only one who has ghosts.Roland rolled his eyes. The system had just told him that the task was not completed at all.

Farrugia listened to the conversation between the two without saying a word, then frowned and suddenly blocked Marek with the shield in his hand.Only a muffled sound was heard, and Farrugia shouted sternly: "There are invisible assassins! Robles, Amber, and sentry torches, light up the surroundings!!! Everyone is in cylinder formation!"

"Yes!" Robles and Amber immediately took out a floating torch wrapped with steel wire and lit it. The light from the torch contained this golden blessing. The light gradually filled the entire city main hall, and also made the invisible figure People are revealed.

Roland recognized the assassin's appearance at a glance: "Elizabeth!"

Langert looked at the simple-looking torch with some surprise, then glanced at Elizabeth who was stunned. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, the shadow of Charles's empire was actually killed by a small torch." The spell is broken. Everyone from the Golden Dynasty, how many other things do you have that I am interested in? Can this torch be sold? The price is easy to say."

Elizabeth had no idea that the invisibility spell she relied on for survival would be broken. Her delicate face did not show any expression, but she was already getting anxious inside.

She originally wanted to kill Marek to complete the above task and escape directly, but now this torch has completely disrupted her calculations.

Sentinel Torch: A torch given to the guardians of the Golden Tree.Flame performed special prayers and was able to see assassins hiding behind veils.The Golden Tree and the Blessed King are on guard─to prevent the night of conspiracy from happening again.

Chapter 18: We have to fight in the end

Seeing Elizabeth appear, Roland was not in a hurry.The most fearful thing is the situation where the enemy is hidden and we are clear. You never know where there will be cold shots and hidden arrows.

"Charlie's Empire? Shadowthorn? Didn't you tell me that you were a pitiful, weak woman whose entire clan was slaughtered by Marek?" Roland asked in a mocking tone.

Elizabeth looked at the Royal Army beside Roland with vigilance, and then at Langette who didn't pay attention to her at all. She pretended to be charming and said: "Whatever you say, my true identity now has also been revealed by this Holy Empire." The holy armor soldier told you. Why, do you still want to use your vicious interrogation on me? My body has been exposed to you, aren't you satisfied?"

Langet looked like he was eating something. He was addicted to the cream can in his hand. When he heard this, he raised his eyes with the words "I want to hear the gossip".

Roland rolled his eyes: "Yes, come here. This time I promise to let you enjoy the feeling of your head falling to the ground."

"That's not necessary. This little girl's body has other uses. But I'm curious, why can the torches held by your soldiers break through the invisibility spell on me?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well, it's because we were once missed by an invisible assassin like you. So we are quite prepared to fight against this little trick." Roland thought of the assassins who were assassinated by the black knife assassins in the game. 'Gold' Godwin, replied.

Before he traveled through his previous life, Roland had watched a lot of plot analysis videos by environmental scientists.Without exception, they all regretted the death of "Golden" Godwin.If he had not been assassinated, the Golden Law would not have declined.Although Malika may still smash the ring, Godwin, who has been designated as the next heir to the Golden Law, will definitely repair it.

Perhaps even perfecting the Golden Law with the help of the Golden Mask.

But all this has nothing to do with Roland who is now in another world, because this world does not have anything similar to the Dharma Ring that "you can conquer the world if you get it".

"You actually said that the 'invisibility' technique that the Charlie Empire is proud of is just a trick. If the kings of those empires or principalities heard this, they would laugh out loud. I said, you really don't think about selling one. Give me a torch? I'm willing to pay, let me think about it, buy it with 1000 purple gold coins." Langet continued to watch the movie, and expressed that he wanted to buy a torch that looked like the king's army had one in each hand.

Roland looked strange: "Are you serious? This torch only has this function."

Langert had a sad expression on his face: "You, the Golden Dynasty, have lived in the endless forest for a long time and you don't know anything about it. The shadow of the Charles Empire comes and goes without a trace. Even the most powerful spell casters in the world are not aware of it." The own Arcane Council can only prevent this kind of spell. For example, they can know who is coming to their own family, but they don’t know where this person is and what they are doing. Not to mention other small principalities, Shadow Thorn wants to assassinate the king or important ministers of a principality as easily as eating and taking a walk."

"Believe me, if your Golden Dynasty is willing to sell this torch, those empires and principalities will definitely pay a high price to buy it. This is also the first time I have seen Shadow Thorn's invisibility broken like this. If I can get it from you If the key casting unit or spell to break the invisibility is found in the torch, the Shadow Thorn of the Charles Empire, which has terrorized various countries on this continent for nearly a hundred years, will be directly swept into the history textbooks."

"I think Miss Shadowthorn is secretly anxious. She wants to run out of the city lord's palace immediately and report the situation of this torch to her superiors." Langert turned the conversation to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth retorted unceremoniously: "To try to remove us from the stage with just a mere torch is too disrespectful to us as the sharp sword in the hands of the Kingdom of Charles."

"Stop pretending to be righteous with me, just tell me if you want to know the secret of this torch?" Langet waved his hand.

"I really want to." Elizabeth said frankly.

Langote was stunned for a moment, and stopped eating the can of cream: "Okay, you are quite crisp here."

Elizabeth shrugged: "Maybe I was infected by your way of speaking."

"How about we talk about something else?" Roland joined the conversation.

"Okay, I have more time. What do you want to talk about?" Langote was the most indifferent. The longer the delay, the better it would be for him.

Elizabeth secretly frowned. She was now the weaker side. Although both Roland and Langote were a little out of tune, Roland's soldiers focused their attention on her. The position of the gate was once again attacked by Langette on horseback. Like to keep it.

This situation is very embarrassing.

She suddenly said to Roland: "Don't you want the position of the city lord of these many ancient cities? On behalf of the royal family of the Charles Empire, I can give you the city lord and all the rights of inheritance, as long as you help me give away these many ancient cities."

"I feel more and more that the city lord of Duogu City is too unfortunate. Just now, the messenger who was sitting over there and twirling his fingers also said that he would give Duogu City to me. Now you also say that you will give it to me. Then after you say that you will give it to me. What should Marek do? Have you asked him how he feels?" Roland suddenly felt very tired.

Marek had not dared to say anything for a long time. The greedy old man was afraid of attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Although I don't have a good impression of the lackeys of the French Empire, there is one thing I agree with what he said. If a person like Marek kills one, he will display more, so who is the leader of Duogu City? The Charles Empire doesn't care at all." Elizabeth actually answered Roland's complaint honestly.

Roland asked the system and got a headache after getting the answer that the task was not completed.

He bent down and said to Marek, who was being pushed to the ground for a facial massage: "What should I do, Lord City Lord? No matter where you are, they seem to want you to die? Do you think you, the City Lord, got into this situation?" Some are too bleak.”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the city lord's hall.

Four men and women wearing white-gold armor with blood stains on it appeared behind Langet.The leader, a young man with short blue hair, looked around, then frowned and scolded Langote: "Vice Captain Langote! Why are you still eating here? The empire's pioneering guards will arrive soon, why are you like this? Is there anyone alive in the city lord’s mansion?”

"There is no way. Look at the people here. They are dynasty soldiers with unknown strength and shadow thorns of the Charles Empire. Captain, if you ask me to solve it alone, I can't do it. I might as well chat with them and wait for you. Come here and let's eat together." Langote reluctantly put down the unfinished can of cream, but unfortunately he couldn't finish the delicious food.

Then he asked, "Where are the others?"

The captain's expression turned ugly: "Six of them were taken away by those Shadow Thorns before they died."

"Oh, that's such a pity." Langet said without changing his expression, "Where are those Shadow Thorns?"

The captain replied: "One escaped and was seriously injured, and the other thirteen have been taken care of."

"Then there is one left here, and he should be at the same level as Captain." Langote pointed at Elizabeth.

The captain nodded: "Then deal with her here. The Pioneer Hundred of the Empire's Pioneer Corps has arrived outside Duogu City. What's going on with these soldiers?"

"They claim to be members of the Golden Dynasty, and they came out of the Endless Forest. In addition, their torches can break the Shadow Thorn's invisibility spell, which is why the Shadow Thorn captain showed his body stupidly." Langert said.

The captain's eyes narrowed, Langet's words contained a lot of information: "The dynasty in the endless forest? The invisibility technique that breaks the shadow thorn?"

"Yes, but their soldiers seem to be quite troublesome. It's a bit difficult to survive. The mercenary-looking man seems to be the talker of this group of soldiers. He is not very strong and can be captured alive." Langert added his opinion Speak up.

Roland raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So what you just said about giving Duogu City to me was not very sincere?"

"That's not the case. We will invite you to our Holy Empire of France. After explaining the affairs of the Golden Dynasty, we will send you to be the city lord of these many ancient cities. What do you think?" Langert said with a smile.

Chapter 19: It will break when you touch it.

Roland smiled silently when he heard Langote's words.He asked softly: "Has your French Empire always acted like this?"

Langert shook his head: "Not really. If you can defeat the five Holy Armor soldiers we have present and the vanguard of the Empire's pioneering corps that will arrive later, then the Empire will definitely treat guests politely first."

After hearing this, Roland laughed a little and said, "What you said is quite clear. In the final analysis, it's all about who has the bigger fist."

"That's right, it's because our fists are big enough now that we dare to make this decision. Of course, in order to avoid a life-and-death situation, you ask your soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender. As the commander of the Imperial Holy Armor Division [-], The captain can guarantee that you will not die." The blue-haired captain Youlan took over: "Our country has always had a fine tradition of treating envoys from foreign countries well, provided that you take off your armor."

"Aren't you afraid that I will join forces with this Shadow Thorn to kill you all here?" Roland glanced at Elizabeth, who had been silent, and asked Yolan.

Youlan nodded: "Of course you can try this, but we will delay the battle. After you can really kill us, you will face the blade of the Empire Development Corps. There is no way for you to escape unharmed."

When the three parties were in a stalemate, a guard belonging to Marek ran into the city lord's palace panting. It was Roland and others who met Char who was guarding the entrance to the ancient city.

He didn't realize that the two guards who used to guard the door were missing. He ran out of breath and shouted: "Master Marek, something is wrong! There are many, many armed soldiers not far outside the city. Come to the ancient city! They are under the banner of the French Empire!"

Then Charles discovered that the courtyard, which was usually filled with birds and flowers, was eerily quiet. The maid who took care of the flowers and plants fell to the ground without knowing whether she was alive or dead. One of the girls was the type of girl he really liked. Every time he passed by the courtyard, his eyes would linger on her for a long time.He had imagined that one day when passing by the courtyard, he would ask this quiet girl her name and then invite her to have a meal.

Of course, Char would not take her to a tavern where she often drank alcohol. Not far from the tavern was a restaurant owned by a chef hired by the Lord Marek.As Marek's gatekeeper, he can still take him in for a nice meal or something.

When he saw the girl falling to the ground, Char's brain had not yet reacted. His legs were running like a machine. He saw the chaos in the city lord's hall and stopped.

He opened his mouth to say something, and saw the blood-stained holy soldiers in the white-gold armor in the city lord's hall.Char's brain began to spin rapidly, his body issued an alarm to him, and his desire to survive made him turn around and run towards the way he came.

But it was already too late. As soon as Char turned around, he felt a chill and pain in the back of his heart. He took off into the air and fell with a plop on the famous flowers and plants that the city lord spent an unknown amount of money and effort cultivating.

All the strength in his body was gradually deprived of him. Char struggled to get up but was unable to do so.He fell to the ground in embarrassment, and before his vision went dark, he just saw the girl's peaceful face as if she was sleeping and the faint blood on the corner of her mouth.

Yolan took back the magic sword in his hand, and the air around the blade was distorted by heat waves.

He turned back, a confident smile appeared, and said: "The empire's pioneering corps has arrived. Whether it is the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty or the shadow thorns of the Charles Empire, you seem to have lost even the chance of a final struggle."

"Ask your soldiers to put away the torch, and I can work with you to take you out." Elizabeth couldn't hold it in anymore when she heard the news of the arrival of the Pioneer Corps.

If she continues like this, she's really going to stumble here. It doesn't matter that Marek didn't succeed in assassinating her or complete the mission.But we must bring back this information about Roland, the Golden Dynasty, and the torches that can break the invisibility, as well as the trends of the French Empire.

This time the French Empire dispatched the pioneering corps and it was definitely not as simple as occupying a few border cities. They were absolutely ready for war mobilization and preparations for war with the Charles Empire.If those in the royal family of the Charles Empire still thought it was a simple border friction, something big would definitely happen if they were unprepared.

"Then, take me out alone and let you manipulate me at will because I am powerless?" Roland felt that Elizabeth's words were really a bit retarded.

He sighed and said: "I have no intention of joining forces with you, Ms. Elizabeth. Of course, I have no intention of visiting the French Empire as a guest."

Roland glanced at Elizabeth, Youlan and Langote, looked at Farrugia and the others and ordered: "King's army, use the blades in your hands to tell them what gold is and what power is."

"It looks like there's nothing to talk about anymore, so it's very troublesome to talk about fighting and killing." Langet shrugged and held the magic sword in his hand, but Yulan stopped him.

The latter said to Langote: "Go and notify Juseus of the vanguard, and ask them to line up directly after entering the city. Let's hold them back before we do it again."

"Okay, captain, be careful." Langet nodded, turned around and walked away, avoiding a round of crossbow arrows fired at him with a slight movement of his steps.

"Pang, Lord Roland will be left to your protection. Robles, Amber, and Kathleen, cover and fire. Ikosela, the female assassin will be left to you. Acker, Pavel, charge with me!" Farrugia Give orders quickly and quickly lay out what everyone should do.

Ecosela nodded and swung the sword with both hands at Elizabeth.Elizabeth frowned and ducked backwards with a light step. At the same time, she held two throwing knives in her hands and ran away.

"Dang-!" Ikosela raised her sword and knocked away a flying knife, only to find that the target of the other one was not her at all.The wire torch held by Amber sank. He looked up and saw that it was directly penetrated by Elizabeth's flying knife, and the prayer lines on it were destroyed.Although the torch is still shining, it is no longer able to illuminate all false illusions as before.

Robles immediately realized the intention of Shadow Thorn. He protected his torch and stopped shooting crossbows in the direction of Youlan and others. He hid his figure behind the bunker surrounded by tables and tables. He immorally dragged a tied-up guard captain between himself and the table.

Elizabeth felt that the spell that had been suppressed on her body was slightly loosened, and she also breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, just destroying the torch can break the damn effect.

But before she had time to think about it, a cold light flashed, and Ikosela's sword broke through the air and came towards her face. Elizabeth had no choice but to continue to dodge.Even if he occasionally blocked the attack with the dagger in his hand, the tiger's mouth would be numb from the shock.

"You are so strong, are you really a woman?" Elizabeth tossed and turned, occasionally having to deal with a few incoming crossbow arrows.

Ikosela's face was solemn, and the big sword in her hand moved flexibly. She ignored Elizabeth's words at all. She had only one purpose, which was to kill the assassin on the spot to give Roland her own credit.

On the other side, Farrugia raised a golden shield in front of him with one hand, while Aker and Bavel hid behind Farrugia.The magic swords in the hands of the holy armors lit up with white light, and the sword wind formed by the etheric magic flew towards the large shield in Farrugia's hands.

To Yolan's surprise, their magic sword was invincible. When facing these warriors who did not know magic and tried to block the sword wind with their shields, they would be neatly cut into two pieces with their shields.

However, the sword wind was blocked by the large shield made of unknown material, leaving not even a trace behind, as if it was really blown by the wind, it hit it and dissipated.
