Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 133
"It's too slow," Lucia replied with lowered eyes, "Especially after saving the child, I feel that I was wasting my time before. Judging by the injuries on her body, it is obvious that she has been imprisoned in that dungeon for at least half a year , if I could have discovered the clue earlier, why did I make her wait so long?"

He raised his head and looked at Lance Shanks with a complex expression, gritted his teeth and said, "A prison with a height of no more than ten meters and a radius of no more than twenty paces is narrow enough to accommodate a dragon. Why can she be imprisoned?" Three years, five years, or even a lifetime, why is Maxwell, a bastard who is not as good as a pig and a dog, still has a heart of a dragon beating in his chest? How many people who should have been under the protection of Sky City were injured and bled?"

Lucia took a deep breath, as if to expel the burning unwillingness and resentment in his chest. As the years passed, the traces of his previous life became weaker and weaker. What exists in this body now is the soul of an ancient dragon.

"But none of this is your fault, Sister Lance—without you and Foll, perhaps the ancient dragon dynasty would have collapsed in that war long ago."

He shook his head slowly, and said: "I have seen the eyes of some ancient dragon elders looking at me, and I have personally experienced the dullness and depravity in that sky city that is coiled like rotten tree roots. The dynasty has come to this day, and you have really paid too much."

"So on this matter, I can't wait any longer—whether it's for the ethnic group who had the same experience as that child, or for all the people who have not failed Sky City, but have been let down by Sky City. Whether you think I'm impatient Whether it is aggressive, or regardless of my own safety, at least this time, I must finish this matter."

Unknowingly, the wind outside the window was much stronger, the snowflakes slapped on the glass and rustled, Lance Shanks stared at the young man in front of him, the emotion in his eyes was like the elusive mist on Lake Lienia, making him People can't see clearly.

After a long while, she finally sighed faintly, and said: "As early as the day of Didas, I realized how tenacious your will is, and since then, I want to remind you not to worry too much. At such a young age, everything can take its time."

"However, this is the end of the matter, and there seems to be no need to talk about it," she said with a wry smile, "I don't need to say that you must understand that your choice tonight is not only related to these things in front of you, if everything goes well, the entire Golden Dynasty All the nobles will be aware of your threat, and even the goodwill released by Radagon will quickly dissipate."

"After tonight, there will no longer be any questions like 'this time' or 'next time'. If you choose this path, you will inevitably face a hundred times more dangers and obstacles than in the past, and there will be no turning back. "

Lucia took a sip of tea calmly and did not speak, but at this moment, silence is already the best response.

Lance Shanks closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows. After a while, he exhaled and pushed the chair away to go around the desk. Lucia just wanted to get up together, but she pressed her shoulders on the chair.

In the next second, she gently embraced the young man in front of her from behind, her snow-like silver hair hung over his shoulders, her smooth forehead rubbed against Lucia's cheek, and she leaned into his ear and said:
"Then let's go on together until we finish this road."

Lucia felt her back and neck stiffen suddenly, and her cheeks also turned red instantly. Fortunately, the body of the Dragon King, who had just glimpsed the door, was really extraordinary, and the qi and blood fluctuations of this level were suppressed in the blink of an eye. After going down, at least on the surface, nothing unusual can be seen.

When he calmed down, he clearly noticed that Miss Lance's breath was heavier and longer than usual, like a long-distance traveler who finally found a corner to rest—perhaps it was himself at this moment who was the first to breathe. Let her feel for the first time that she is not alone in leading the ancient dragon dynasty forward?
On the other side, Lance Shanks also let go of his arms, but compared to a certain ancient dragon prince who was nearly petrified, the ancient dragon priest was obviously much calmer. She just sorted out the matter for Lucia just like in the past. With slightly wrinkled clothes, he said, "I won't accompany you to the Eternal Palace, lest it appear that we are putting too much pressure on the Golden Dynasty. It's better for you to discuss those matters."

"I understand." Lucia said.

"Then go!" Lance Shanks patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "I just rushed back from the outside, and there are a lot of things to deal with at the temple. When your side is over, the next few days will be busy. I need more, so I’ll go back and prepare first.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and went out, and in the blink of an eye, she couldn't even hear the footsteps.

Lucia got up unsteadily and returned to her main seat, and took a few minutes to calm herself down completely. Although the development of the situation was a little bit unexpected, she still had to settle the matter on the side of the Eternal Hall first.

A few hours have passed since he and Lataen appeared in the underground waterway, and the Eternal Palace has not responded at all. It is not necessary to think that the two majesties are definitely waiting for him, and he himself is also waiting for a few things that are enough. The key to the final decision of the game.

About a quarter of an hour later, Aegis knocked on the door of the study and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

"We set off immediately."

Escorted by Aegis and ten storm knights, Lucia's carriage galloped all the way, and arrived at the gate of the Eternal Hall after passing through half of the Golden Temple.

The king's knights guarding here seemed to have received orders from their superiors long ago. Although it was midnight, they didn't make routine inquiries at all, but directly allowed Lucia to come in to meet him.

As soon as they entered the apse where Malika and Radagon were resting, Xia Bolili, the internal affairs director of the Eternal Palace, greeted him with his signature flattering smile, and said with a deep bow: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered The officer has been waiting here for a long time."

Lucia wanted to ask which majesty ordered you to wait, but Xia Bolili had already said: "The whole country celebrates tonight, and both your majesties also rest late. At this moment, His Majesty Malika is admiring the flowers in the back garden. Lada His Majesty Gang is handling government affairs in the side hall, who is His Majesty going to visit first?"

Lucia was slightly taken aback, I haven't asked you yet, why are you lying here waiting?
However, this question is naturally not Xia Bolili's own audacity, but the temptation of a certain majesty behind him.Although this guy temporarily acted as Radagon's emissary last time, in the current situation, the person who tested him may be Radagon, or Malika, or even a little bit of the tacit commonality between the two. test.

But for him, this is not a problem worth tangling at all.

"Go to the back garden first." Lucia said without changing her expression.

"Yes." Xia Bolili still had that flattering smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Lucia's choice, he turned and led him to the back garden.
