Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The magic device on the wall kept them alive and imprisoned them at the same time. They only wore clothes that covered their key parts, and their skin was very clean with no trace of being whipped during interrogation.
Then the middle-aged man walked up to the two of them with a sullen face. When the twins looked at him with angry and hateful eyes, he slowly said: "The method of Shadow Thorn was cracked by someone who claimed to be from the Golden Dynasty."
Crack, what crack?The brother and sister were stunned for a moment at the same time. The elder brother, Doraniel, was quick in thinking. He laughed loudly and taunted happily: "Hahaha, what's wrong? Isn't it just that Shadow Thorn's invisibility has been cracked, does it make you so nervous? "
"Pa!" A whip mark instantly appeared on the brother's face, and then it quickly disappeared under the healing power of the magic instrument.
"What are you afraid of? What are you panicking about? Judas the Usurper?" Dolanier didn't care about the whip that fell on him at all, and continued to mock: "It's because you are thinking of the prophetic curse your ancestors were told when they usurped the country. Yet?"
Judas swung down the whip fiercely and used the ether. His brother's mouth was smashed and his front teeth were pulled out, leaving him unable to speak for a while.It can only be healed slowly with the help of instruments.
The younger sister, Dolan Guier, said nothing and even closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at her brother.
Judas put down the whip, came to Dolanguier expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and strangled Dolanguier's neck fiercely.
"Uh...ah..." As time went by, Dolan Guier gradually turned red and purple. Her mouth grew uncontrollably and she stuck out her tongue, struggling to breathe.
The hand that was strangling her neck loosened as she wished, and her lungs greedily breathed in the fresh air, but the next second her violently bullied abdomen was punched hard by Judas.Dolan Guier, who was breathing heavily, suddenly lost her breath and almost fainted from the pain. However, the magic instrument faithfully performed its duty and protected Dolan Guier's life.
Judas returned to his original position, looked at the brother and sister who were no longer speaking, nodded with satisfaction, and then said fiercely: "It's just that the invisibility of Shadow Thorn has been broken. There is no accurate prophecy in this continent."
Then he left the secret room, leaving only Dolanguire, who was constantly breathing and twitching, and Dolaniel, who was looking at her with concern.
"I'm fine..." Dolan Guier, who could speak, immediately said weakly. The life energy in the magic instrument was healing her body.
"Well, let's hold on for a while longer. We will be able to go out soon, and the prophetic signs have appeared. We will be free soon." Dolanir comforted softly.
Dolan Guier also showed a smile that reassured her brother. She closed her eyes and her purple hair swayed with her body.
It's almost here, it's almost here, I've been waiting for you, my hero, my savior.Dolan Guier recalled the scene that had always appeared in her dreams. Under the bright and huge golden tree, she was being held by a very gentle man, and behind her were soldiers with golden tree badges embroidered on their bodies.
It was this image that had always supported her in this secret room where she could not see the light of day, maintaining herself through repeated painful and inhuman tortures.She believed that the person whose appearance was unclear would come to save her.
Dolan Guier and her brother murmured in unison: "The flame shines through the illusion, the benevolent person turns into a king. The lion drives away the false king, and the gold lowers hope."
Chapter 26:Luyi Stacey
The capital of Charles' empire, the white-walled capital of Wiener, Stacey's mansion.
This is the time when the morning sun is the warmest and brightest, and the sun shines on the walls made of pure white marble.The open-air garden of the mansion has a magical device for automatic watering. The water mist disperses the sunlight into colorful colors.Several gardeners in plain gray clothes were tending the garden.
At the door of Stacey's house, two burly doormen wearing silver heavy armor stood motionless, with sharp eyes in their helmets scrutinizing the guests who entered the mansion.
This is the imperial guard that only exists in the royal family of the Charles Empire, which is enough to show the importance Judah attaches to the Stacey family.
The Stacey family was originally just a low-level noble family. In the aristocratic residential area of the White Wall City, any horseman who could be hit by a stone would be a noble, and there were countless of them.
Then the current head of the Stacey family, Lu Yi, married into the Stacey family with the up-and-coming "Lulan Chamber of Commerce" about 30 years ago, which changed everything.As time went by, the Lulan Chamber of Commerce gradually became the largest chamber of commerce in Charles' empire, and the status of the Stacey family also rose.
Originally, some old nobles were quite critical of Lu Yi marrying into the Stacey family as a commoner and gaining noble status, but seeing more and more wealth flowing in and out of their hands, there was more and more money in the treasury, and even The wealth allocated to his family was getting more and more, so everyone kept their mouths shut.
At least he kept his mouth shut on the surface, but secretly he still ridiculed Lu Yi as a "speculator who only has gold."
Today is Lu Yi's day to rest, but she still has to entertain several important customers from abroad before she can fully enjoy the rare holiday.
After sending away the last guest, Lu Yi took off the white silk gloves on his hands, picked up the carved teacup that had just been replaced, and took a sip of black tea.The coexistence of sweetness and bitterness relieved the thirst in her throat, and she felt relaxed physically and mentally after putting it down.
Time has left scratches on her originally graceful face, but it is also time that has made the charm of a lady become sweeter.Lu Yi's originally pink and white hair also gradually grew a few silver strands, but there was a bit of an invisible smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Grandma Lu Yi, are you so carefree?" Elizabeth's voice came suddenly, startling Lu Yi who was originally relaxed.
Seeing Elizabeth coming in without knocking again, Lu Yi sighed helplessly and said, "I'd better inform the guard before entering next time. I'm old and my heart is not good."
"I reported it today." Elizabeth shrugged, "And I feel that grandma, you can't be said to be old yet. Your skin is much better taken care of than most nobles. I heard that many young men are fascinated by you. I’m going to marry Stacey’s house.”
Lu Yi smiled faintly, and the mature charm spread from the corners of her mouth like ink spots: "What they covet is just my body and the wealth represented by the Stacey family. In a few years, I will be old and yellow, and my color will fade. , they will kick me away, even your grandpa will not do this."
Elizabeth showed a meaningful smile: "Didn't you expect Grandma Lu Yi to miss grandpa so much? Is he the kind of person who is very dedicated to you and doesn't care about your appearance and wealth?"
"No, it's just that your grandpa has self-awareness and will not have unnecessary thoughts. How many people in this world can have self-awareness, and how many people with self-awareness will refrain from doing things beyond their abilities? What's going on?" Lu Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Elizabeth also nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Even with my grandfather's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to develop General Stacey to the point where he is now playing a very important role in Charles' empire."
"What on earth did you come to see me for today?" Lu Yi glanced at the shadow in front of him, "If you just want to chat about family affairs, I do have a lot of time today, but I think this is not the right place for chatting. If you can, follow me. I’ll go to the talking room, and I’ll ask the servant to bring some desserts, and we can talk while we eat.”
Elizabeth still had that meaningful smile, and she said: "Did you steal those desserts from somewhere? Are they the same as the iconic products in the Chamber of Commerce?"
Lu Yi frowned when he heard this, and her tone became unhappy: "I shouldn't have offended you recently? It's just a technique that others taught me when I was young. It's just a technique that is not worth mentioning. Why do you say that?"
Elizabeth's words were still very offensive. She walked up to Lu Yi and pulled out a chair decorated with expensive decorations and sat down: "I can't help it. Who told me to hear those things every time I enter and leave the palace or go to some occasions?" The nobles secretly say that you are a 'thief who likes betrayal'."
"Who said all this?" Lu Yi asked with an unkind expression: "It seems that some people are going to knock again."
Elizabeth leaned forward and stared intently at Lu Yi's blue eyes that had become a little cloudy due to old age: "Grandma Lu Yi, how does it feel to betray your lover?"
"Wow--" The boiling black tea poured onto Elizabeth's delicate and beautiful face between the corners of her eyebrows, which was somewhat similar to Lu Yi's. The agate-like liquid flowed down her face.
Elizabeth did not scream from the heat, nor did she show any anger.She opened her mouth, like a poisonous snake revealing its message: "Did you break your defense?"
Lu Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The hand holding the cup was thrust into his pocket. He could feel the ups and downs of her emotions, as if the gentle lady just now was not her.
After exhaling, Lu Yi calmed down a little and returned to the look of a noble lady, but his eyes became cold: "Don't mention this matter in front of me, I have not betrayed my lover at all. The one who loves me He's just a 'devil' who was judged as a heretic by the Heresy Tribunal."
"Yes, I will trust you unreservedly and share everything in the Chamber of Commerce with you, teaching you knowledge that does not originally belong to you. If there is such a devil who is willing to love me, can you please introduce it to me, grandma?" Elizabeth giggled smiled.
"That's enough! If you are here to make trouble, don't make me angry today." Lu Yi shouted angrily. She tried hard to control her anger. "If you keep talking like this, I can only ask the guards to send you out."
"Ha, I don't care. Those guards of yours can't do anything to me. If it weren't for the fact that Shadow Thorns can't attack people from their own country except for their stipulated tasks, the first person I want to kill must be you, my deer. Grandma Yi." Elizabeth didn't care at all about angering a lady who was so powerful that she could cover the sky with one hand.
Lu Yi frowned: "I have said many times that I am really sorry about your parents, and I don't know the specific details of their death. There is no need for you to have such hatred for me."
Elizabeth waved her hand and interrupted Lu Yi: "I don't care about this, don't say such things to me. I'm just here today to tell you that I discovered something interesting in Duogu City."
"Duogu City? What's so noteworthy about a remote town with a population of only five digits?" Lu Yi frowned.
Elizabeth looked at Lu Yi's ignorant face and suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha"
Lu Yi interrupted Elizabeth's laughter with a cold face and said, "What on earth do you want to do today? If you are mentally abnormal, I can treat you with the best doctor in the empire."
"No, no, I'm just... I'm just thinking about how funny your expression will be if I tell you the news next." As if thinking of the scene that would happen next, Elizabeth still had a wicked smile on her lips. smile.
She stared at Lu Yi, at the mature and charming woman in front of her, and said word by word: "I have met the lover you most want to see~"
"What lover? I don't have the habit of keeping lovers outside." Lu Yi felt a little confused.
"Gee, how can those lovers compare to your first love? Grandma Lu Yi." Elizabeth just wanted to see Lu Yi's reaction and subsequent expression: "I met Roland, the 'immortal' Roland. Oh, he really hasn’t changed at all, he’s exactly the same as the portrait in your study, grandma.”
Lu Yi's green eyes were filled with shock and fear when he heard the name.The precious cup in her hand fell on the table and rolled to the floor. Fortunately, the floor in the room was covered with a thick blanket, otherwise the cup would not have escaped the fate of being broken.
"Yes, yes, that's the expression. I have always dreamed of seeing your scared and helpless expression." Elizabeth felt that she had gained great satisfaction, and an abnormal blush appeared on her face.
Lu Yi reacted and shouted sternly: "This can't be possible!!! After Roland was executed, his body was put in different bottles and sealed by the presiding judge. Even if he is really the reincarnation of the demon king, it is impossible for him to die in just 30 years. He will return to the human world in about [-] years. Did you deliberately deceive me?"
"Are you lying to me? Just use the connections you have to go to Duogu City to check for information~ My beloved Grandma Lu Yi." Elizabeth smiled, "By the way, just a friendly reminder. This time Roland has a Loyal to his army, you might as well guess what happens when you encounter this army?"
Then the blond assassin stood up and stretched comfortably.
She said: "I have said everything I want to say. Grandma Lu Yi, just live in fear~"
After saying that, Elizabeth walked out of the room in a very good mood.
Luyi Stacey, whose fingers were trembling slightly, was left thinking about something in the chair.
Chapter 27: Specialize in dealing with unruly people
The border of Charles' empire, Duogu city.
At this time, Duogu City had been completely obscured by the projection of the golden tree, and the entire city was bathed in the golden light.
Under Roland's instruction, some residents who were afraid of the sudden appearance of the golden tree chose to leave Dogu City after receiving a good moving fee.
Originally, according to Marek, there were 45678 registered residents in the ancient city, with 1645 households.As for the illegal households that have not been counted, the specific situation is not clear.
However, after the riots caused by the French Holy Empire Pioneer Corps, most residents realized that this might be a time of change, and living in border towns like Duogu City would not be as stable as before.
Therefore, after statistics, a total of 31547 residents decided to move out of Duogu City, leaving only some people who were old and nostalgic or felt that there was no way to make a living outside Duogu City.
Dismissing these more than 3 residents cost Roland some of the purple gold coins he had accumulated after his resurrection, about 400.There is no doubt that for these residents, the purple gold coins they were given were a huge sum of money that they could save without eating or drinking for three or four months.Moreover, Roland would also take a little care of those residents who had many elderly people and children who were waiting for food, giving them some gold coins and so on.
However, this kind act did not attract the gratitude of the residents who wanted to move out. Instead, after discovering that residents with more family members would receive more subsidies, they began to cheat without any instructions, hoping to obtain more money. .
We are leaving Duogu City anyway and will never come back, so why not make more money.Anyway, the new city lord is kind-hearted and can understand the difficulties of little people like us, right?He has so much money, so I only ask for a little more so that I can live better, and the city lord will not starve to death even if he loses this little gold coin, right?
If the city lord doesn't give it, then we will have no choice but to unite with other families to protest.Those who lied about the death of their friends and wanted to get more comfort money were only informed by the city lord without any punishment. They must be a kind person.
If you have a kind heart, you will definitely be soft-hearted and save face.When the time comes, we will have more people and more power, and we will get tears and tears from our noses. With the power of more people, won’t we get the money?
You see, the residents of this other world are so simple and simple and have an eye for money.
If it was the old Roland, perhaps he would be able to satisfy their demands as soon as he softened his heart, as these people thought.But now Roland doesn't think about this at all. He gets annoyed when he sees unruly people.jpg
But this matter didn't even reach Roland's ears immediately.
Roland himself was too busy considering the future course of action and handling various government affairs in the city lord's palace. Moreover, the two homeless knights and the summoned exiled soldiers were responsible for the defense of the town, so he handed over the purple gold coins and some currencies from the city lord's palace. They went to Farrugia to distribute them.
As the monarch's army who are now loyal to Roland, they can naturally feel what these unruly residents are thinking.
There was nothing to say. The king's army took out those who clamored for insufficient money one by one, beat their mouths to pieces first, and then either had their legs broken or their hands broken as they screamed in agony.Whoever comes up to help stand in line will fight together. Anyway, the king's army is strong, and these people who can't even lift their swords have no ability to resist.Not to mention that that group of people were clamoring just for profit, and most residents had no idea what they were doing.
After giving a lesson to more than a dozen of the leading birds, the clamors finally turned into howls.
The commotion caused by Farrugia and the others even attracted the attention of the exiled soldiers on patrol.After questioning, the exiled soldier gave a thumbs up and said that Farrugia and the others were not cruel enough.
So the exiled soldiers directly tied up those people and threw them out of the city together with their families without even allowing them to take any luggage.They were escorted five miles out of the city before returning, leaving these people and their families to fend for themselves in the wild wearing clothes that could not withstand the cold night.
Roland didn't know about this until Farrugia and the others returned with the exiled soldiers to plead guilty and report.
Roland felt angry and amused by Farrugia's unembellished report.But he soon adjusted his mood. After all, he knew what kind of behavior this group of people without etiquette would do in his previous lives.
Roland did not plan to do anything with Farrugia and the exiled soldiers. Instead, he ordered them to deal with them according to the methods of the exiled soldiers if this situation still happened.
By the time everything was settled in Duogu City, a week had passed.Only then did Roland get a breather from the heavy government affairs.
There is no way, Marek was too busy enjoying himself when he was in office, and there were many problems that needed to be solved in the city.
The first thing that needed to be solved was the hygiene problem. After all, the strange smell almost made Roland pass out when he first entered the city.Dirty and messy is a common problem in most border towns.
The poor air quality in cities will also affect the health of residents. It is still early autumn, which is relatively good.Once the transition between winter and spring occurs, any flu encounter will be a dimensionality-reducing blow to such a dirty and messy little city lord.
So Roland's soldiers took on the important task of building toilets and cleaning up urban garbage.
Fortunately, the soldiers who were summoned had no complaints.The right is to organize a clean city for the incarnation of the golden will.
Air purification is more convenient. The golden tree is responsible for filtering the turbid air and then spitting out the air with golden blessings and ether.
Roland felt that due to the existence of the golden tree, Duogu City seemed to be gradually being transformed into a place similar to the "Blessed Land and Cave Heaven" in Xianxia novels.
This can also be confirmed by Marek. His hair, which was originally gray and sparse, has even gradually become thicker, and the color of his hair is also showing signs of changing to black.The whole person's energy and energy seemed to be much younger.
Not only Marek, but also the old people who stayed in the town and bathed in the light of the golden tree all showed signs of this.Younger people also find that their systems have become better, and some hidden diseases caused by overwork are showing signs of gradual improvement.
It was precisely because of this phenomenon that Marek and the residents in the city were determined to hold Roland's thigh tightly.
The more Marek thought about it, the more he wondered if Roland was the incarnation of some kind of god.Even though he has stayed in Duogu City his whole life and never left the city, there are many businessmen coming and going through Duogu City. Naturally, he has heard a lot of things after living for such a long time.
Only those holy places that were almost boasted by businessmen would have this phenomenon happen to him, and those holy places without exception had the power of gods behind them.
Of course, these blessings have a higher bonus on the soldiers summoned by Roland.
[100/850], this is the current energy of the golden tree.After a week, Roland summoned 2 more Gorick knights and 4 Gorick soldiers.Let them teleport back through blessing and guard the body of the golden tree.
Verena and Lucci, who were originally part of Farrugia's team, naturally returned to the team after listening to what Ikosela and the others had to say.Verena subconsciously buried her head in Lucci's chest to express her regret for not coming to participate in such a lively battle. Lucci looked at Verena dotingly and said nothing.
"Hey, you two, your reactions are quite interesting~" Everyone noticed that the atmosphere between Verena and Lu Qi was not right, but only the young Amber pointed it out in person.
"Pah." Amber was slapped on the back of the head by Robles without any surprise.
Unexpectedly, Verena's face turned slightly red, but she still admitted generously: "That's right, Lu Qi and I confessed our feelings during the days when you were out."
Lu Qi remained silent, but his slightly red cheeks showed that the giant man was also a little shy.
"Haha, that's really gratifying." Farrugia sent his heartfelt blessings to his team members, as the captain who survived the Broken War together and then left his hometown to come to Nimgefu together.He treats his teammates like the younger children in his family.
Thinking of this, Farrugia, as a senior, also wanted to make a fuss. He coughed and asked pretending to be calm: "When are you two planning to get married? Now that the golden will is showing its miracle, maybe you can get Roland." Maybe a personal blessing from your lord?"
Verena shook her head, bit her lower lip and said hesitantly: "Lord Roland seems to be very busy recently, and there are many places in the city that need to be rebuilt. I'll wait until the city is almost finished, I will miss Lord Roland Applying for a wedding.”
"Well, you're right." Farrugia nodded, "I'm really busy with a lot of things recently, but you don't have to worry about the wedding. As the captain of you and Lucci, I will also plead with Lord Roland. Compared with the supreme will that originally only sent Two Fingers as a spokesperson to let the old woman Jie Zhi speak, Lord Roland is still easier to get along with and kinder now."
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out what dad said is right. It turns out that falling in love can really change a person." Amber looked at Verena's change from her old sisterly look and felt a little emotional.
When Verena heard this, her eyes widened and she was about to pass: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Amber, are you feeling itchy?"
"Hey, didn't I say that my good temper will get better?" Amber hurriedly hid behind Robles.
