The Amber Sword: Act 53 The female Count
The undulating holy voice under the towering curved vault came to an end. high level Priest His face was pale and almost unsteady. low level The ministry came forward to hold them. These high-profile figures are either Lucita Areas around Great Deacon Or by the hospital Expert Scholar , Grand status, respect for identity, can be said to be second only to Holy Cathedral of Fire The figures above the dome; matching their identities is their strength, of which Christopher Cohen Great Deacon , Anders, the gods, and Sutton Facets of Truth , Just a step away from the Holy See -- Lucita Residents are used to Holy Cathedral of Fire The eleven people above the dome are collectively called above the Holy See, and over time, this saying has also spread. -- In addition to these three people, all nine others are also unsealed Up element , People who are like them on weekdays are actually already Rarely preside over sacraments or Ritualist But occasionally make a move , Most of them are hand-in-hand, never to be so embarrassed as at this moment.
"It's really amazing." The person who spoke while watching this scene was Vala. It's hard to imagine a person who hasn't seen this supreme one. The person in charge of the entire Holy Cathedral of Fire will be such a kind-looking man. Little old man, his beard eyebrow has long been snow-white, and his body has shrunk a lot. Wearing a red Bishop shawl with snow-white edging and carrying his hands on his back, he trembles as if a gust of wind can blow down. But only those pairs of eyes that are deeply under the eyelids, and the clear lines flashing from time to time, can prove that this old man who has controlled Holy Cathedral for more than half a century has not shown that simplicity. .
The world calls him High Priest who brought iron and fire. The only person in the eleven thrones who has experienced a complete Holy War, Lucita has a proverb about him that is widely spread. The -- throne is never relentless. It is his character. Not as kind-looking as it looks.
He was standing on the altar with two other people, and the object he spoke to was a woman on the left behind Correct. This woman was very tall, wearing a short white cape, a high headband, and a golden flame in her hand. emblem's scepter, the long cloak dragged to the smooth ground made of obsidian; her face was a bit too thin, and her cheeks seemed to be cut with a knife and axe, so that she could not see the beauty of the woman, and seemed too much. Leng Jun, she has short blonde hair, a long thin braid tied behind her head, hanging from the shawl. This woman is Sydney Metfalica, the third handle of Holy Cathedral of Fire, and the fourth master of Kirrlutz Empire. About her Legend has it that counting from Year of Gathering Star, it is said that she played against the fourth wizard Boss of the Buga person, losing only one line, although she was defeated.
Ordinary people often use the sharpness of a hawk to describe the sharpness of a person's eyes, but such wording appears weak and weak in front of this lady. Her eyes are not only sharp, but also have substance. Let her understand what she meant. There is a golden flame ring deep in her pupil. This is related to the angel Akroma of Holy Sword from her master divine power -- from Holy Sword. Regarding her accomplishments on the Holy Magic, no one in the empire can do her right. Even Vala has to admit it.
The other person around Vala, the decoration on the silk robe is gorgeous, with a nice face, and looks more like a businessman. This person is called Caesar, which is the lower-ranked existence of eleven. The name sounds very good. Domineering, but his people are hard-working and hard-working in history.
Sidney maintained a constant silence. Even if the person in charge of Holy Cathedral of Fire spoke in front of her, she did not have any meaning at all. It is not unreasonable to call her a statue of a lion in the shrine. But Vala appreciates her character very much. Compared with the era of the previous generation High Priest, because of the experience of Holy War, this generation of Holy Cathedral of Fire's inheritor generally appears young -- youngster always looks too aggressive, but it is not stable enough, only Western Denny is an exception.
"His Majesty sent his wife on the 14th, and these people seventeen days entered the city. Those in the Academy responded most positively, High Priest." Caesar whispered.
Vala nodded, of course he understood the hidden meaning in this sentence. For centuries, the imperial power of Kirrlutz has finally reached its peak in this century. Sometimes he ca n’t help but think that if he was born, How good it was before your teacher. At that time, Holy Cathedral could not only develop the one's own force arbitrarily in small countries such as Aouine, Antroborough, but also intervene in worldly things. In the era of the highest religious power, even the right to inherit the throne, In the hands of High Priest, but now?
This old man just feels bitter.
"After this time, I'm afraid your Majesty's influence in Holy Cathedral will rise again, High Priest."
"I understand." Vala shook his head. The sects have always been closer to the royal family. They have been wanting to reform their education since Year of the Thunder, and have long accused him of High Priest, although after Holy War A group of people were eliminated, but this obviously did not stop the madmen. Holy Cathedral is indeed about to make changes, and he is becoming more and more aware of this, but the authority who is in charge of the changes must not fall into the hands of those who are party and private, otherwise Holy Cathedral of Fire will have no tomorrow.
He knows that Caesar's words remind him that he should not meet Her Majesty's request this time. Although the imperial power is increasingly infiltrating into the Holy Cathedral, Holy Cathedral of Fire still has the power to decide his own internal affairs. His decision was called that as if for nothing. supreme one, who is never old, reached into Holy Cathedral, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many eleven. Only he, Sidney, and Caesar who were present today showed that -- Sidney had no intention to fight for power, Caesar was just a promise, and others were obviously very dissatisfied.
"But that's Azure Spear." Vala sighed one breath, their Her Majesty was too difficult to deal with, sometimes he wondered whether such an Empress is the luck of Kirrlutz, or the misfortune of Holy Cathedral of Fire -- Azure Spear It is mortal relic, Heavenly Azure Knight crushes the sky and brings Second Era. In Dark Blue Poem, it is described as the hope of mortals. Holy Spear -- that can change fate can be imagined, any Holy Cathedral has such a divine artifact, if it is recognized by it For how big the prestige of Holy Cathedral has been, it is impossible for him to refuse to go to the public.
Caesar also closed his mouth. Of course, he understood the meaning. He couldn't help looking back at his one's own colleague, and even Sidney, who always had the same expression on his face, blinked in his eyes at this moment. Shining light.
It's Holy Spear Aether Ah–– after all
"Unfortunately, why the gunman is a mountain people." Caesar thought unfortunately that if he hadn't known that Holy Spear had been shipped from Aouine, already had the owner before that, otherwise he would have to I think this is the plan of the supreme empress. Because it is known that among the nations under Holy Cathedral of Fire, only mountain people does not believe in the teachings of Gaetel. They worship the spirit of ancestors and nature, so they are called Barbarian Tribe, but It's just such a barbarous person, recognized by Holy Spear.
"Oh, Her Majesty, give the things that change your destiny to aliens, just to suppress Holy Cathedral. You are playing with fire and self-harm. Ah–– How can mortals take the future into their hands, and the gods will bring it to sin." Vala It was also helpless and couldn't help mumbling.
The three did not speak. They silently watched the crystal layer in the center of the hall become thinner and eventually disappeared. The young girl inside closed her eyes tightly and supported spear in her hands. It seemed like she had lost her center of gravity and broke through the ice. He fell to the ground softly and weakly, then fell down, and then fell into a coma on the ground poured with layers of magic formation.
Vala looked at the pieces of crystal that fell on the ground, and seemed to see the fragmented Holy Cathedral. The school sent already not to stand with them, and the local Deacon also had snakes and rats at both ends. The failure of Williams was even more Hit the Holy Cathedral's prestige outside the empire hard. He thought of the incompetent guy and couldn't help but get upset. He was a Knights Templars long and would be planted in the hands of a junior. It was a shame, but it was not only his face that was lost, or The face of the Cecil family is also the face of Holy Cathedral.
He went on to think of the little Aouine Count of Tonigel, the grandson of Sword Saint Darus in that rumor, couldn't help muttering: "Why this guy, it's really a ghost."
Caesar heard the whispered whisper, and couldn't help but snored, his face changed. Of course, he still remembers the dramatic change of forty years ago, the decline of Holy Cathedral, as if Correct started with that unfair trial. He looked at the High Priest next to himself, and suddenly thought that High Priest promised Her Majesty's conditions so readily, I am afraid that it was not only because of Azure Spear, he suddenly remembered that, as early as last week's Royal Banquet, Her Majesty seemed to have Vaguely revealed the birth of the newly born female Count, and her relationship with the Aouine Count of Tonigel.
He thought of this, could not help but even the cold sweat almost ran down, hurry up, his face was tight, as if he was afraid to call the supreme one around him to see the one's own idea.
But Vala didn't care about him at all, but turned his head to Sidney and said, "Sidney, take Count to bathe and freshen up, be nice to her."
Priestess froze, then nodded indifferently.
...
The girl is dressed like a Princess. She is wrapped in a light yellow baroque style dress, with her long red hair falling down, like a flowing scattered flame, a slender neck and a weak collarbone exposed in the air. In the middle, a thin Mithril necklace passed through a flame jewel, close to it, and the flowing amber color set off the healthy skin. The fluffy skirt was full of rose-like folds, and she was almost dressed as a delicate doll with multiple sleeves, lined tulle, and a huge bow on her chest. Her waist was severed, making her breathless. Scarlett looked at it a little at a loss, and her amber eyes were full of restless light.
The experience since this day seemed to her to have a ridiculous and weird dream. She dreamed that she slept in a huge piece of amber, experienced many things in the meantime, saw the strange scenery -- but most of them At that time, she was covered with a black cloth, or when she was kept in a box, but the sky was not there. -- occasionally felt upset, there would be a voice to chat with her, but the frequency was not particularly high. The Young Lady in Azure Spear was proud. Wonderful, can't wait to draw a conclusion between the two sentences to prove that she is a fool.
She then "sees" that she was transported into a magnificent Holy Cathedral, where there were many Priests performing a ritual around her, and she was chanting the low hum of Hymn in her ears, and then Then, then again, she felt as if she had woke up, and there was a lady in white priest robe leading her in the mist, and then the lady asked a few maids to bathe and change her clothes; she had never experienced such a scene in her life, Almost stunned, she tried to escape on several occasions, but was stopped by the lady every time. She was proud of her strength, and she was as weak as a child in front of him. . She remembered that the other side looked at her with certainty every time, and read a prayer, and then it seemed that an irresistible coercion fell from the sky, penetrated the dome of Holy Church, and directly applied to her, leaving her unable to move.
At this moment, she was sitting on a long chair. The chair -- was extremely luxurious, almost like a woodcarved throne. Even in Lord Thane's castle, she had never seen such a beautiful chair -- absentmindedly. Looking at herself in the mirror in front of the floor, although the beautiful person inside didn't look like her at all; a few maids around her, carefully dressing her, Scarlett knew that she could not resist, she was like a They are still playing with them like puppets.
While looking at their new master, several maids contrasted the beauties in the mirror, carefully combed her long hair, put on glittering earrings, or whispered, occasionally making a low laugh, He laughed with fever on the Scarlett. She still hasn't figured out what exactly is here, why she came here, why she wore such weird clothes, she wants to contact Alvina, but the Young Lady in Azure Spear seems to have another today The important thing was the inquisition in Scarlett's heart, and she felt that she could still feel existence of Azure Spear, which made her feel a little relieved.
The maids around her are all cute and lovely, obviously they have been carefully selected, but most of them have long red or short hair with different shades of red, which makes people understand their origin and bloodline and Scarlett looked at these same people they had never seen before, and listened to them softly speaking in their ears, it was really hard for a while to shake them off and start their tempers, but only with patience -- Of course, this is also She understood that the Priestess, who was a little too harsh, was still out there.
"Lord Count," a round-faced maid said with a little envy, "You are really the most beautiful girl among our Princess, mountain people."
"You ... what do you call me ..." Scarlett is not very good at dealing with strangers, but I can't help but be surprised when I hear this sentence, almost some absentmindedly asked this sentence.
"Yes, Lord Count, you do n’t know yet -- You are the the only Count who has been sealed by the emperor for hundreds of years. Your fief is said to be the most beautiful piece of land in the kingdom, on the side of Four Borders Plain On -- "
"Yes, yes, I've seen the maple forest there, oh my god, it's so beautiful, you can see that Your Majesty appreciates you very much," the maids said sternly, "The point is, still close to The mountains of our -- Vala deed of mountain people, I really want to go home and take a look.
Scarlett heard the fog in the clouds, she looked at the girls somehow, and didn't understand what they were talking about. She was born in Chablis, and there were many mountain people. It seemed that she had indeed heard about the hometown of mountain people when she was a child The legends of the mountains of -- Vala, but those are distant dreams. She listened to what they said about fief, her Majesty, and Lord Count. She only felt that the mind was messy, and for a moment could not think of anything.
But she can see that these girls worship her sincerely, and they whispered to her: "Lord Count, I heard that Your Majesty intends to make the land autonomous after your sword is loyal. The land that belongs to you -- is in your hands, which is equivalent to returning to our mountain people. For thousands of years, the independence and autonomy that we mountain people dream of can finally be realized in your hands! "
The girls talked enthusiastically, but as they spoke, their voices gradually went down.
mountain people's situation in the empire is not much better or worse than Aouine. Kirrlutzian regards them as Barbarian Tribe. nobles's capture of mountain people is like the capture of wild beasts. Once the men and women of -- mountain people are taken from the forest, If you drive out, you will be locked in a cage like a beast, and will leave your hometown and sell to other places. Those in better conditions can become noble's servants, and most of them die in an unknown mine.
Who is willing to leave the country, but the history of mountain people resistance has been legend for centuries. In the empire, except for a few clans that are attached to the empire, most of them are hiding in the forest. Live like a beast. But even those who remain are still lowered and may be caught at any time for various reasons and become slaves.
These seem to be the common experiences of these girls. There was a sudden silence in the room. Several girls couldn't help sobbing. The round-faced maid choked and said, "Lord Count, do you know, today Because you -- and mountain people will no longer have to leave the country and leave your wife, and will not be hunted by those Kirrlutzian like a beast. Lord Count, your reputation will surely spread throughout the mountains of the empire. One day you will be a hero of mountain people. -- "
Scarlett opened his mouth.
She felt that she must be dreaming. She couldn't help but grabbed the handrails, as if she wanted to stand up steadily under the -- crystal shoes. She really was n’t used to it. She walked like a puppet. --, the waitresses hurriedly supported them to Her Highness the Princess. Beware that she stepped on the one's own skirt and dropped to the ground. This is not something that has never happened before. But Scarlett looked around and finally asked negligently: "What you said ... I don't quite understand, Lord Thane, where is he ...?"
"Lord Thane, aren't you?"
Scarlett shook his head fiercely, trying to refute, but someone knocked on the door outside, and then Sidney's voice came in: "Mitra Count, if you finish your makeup, someone will see you."
The maids became quiet for a moment, and all of them seemed to suddenly become puppets, because they knew that only anyone would come here at this time.
