The Amber Sword: Act 182 White Lion Battle V
The shrill cry is constantly ringing in the port of Fattan. Romaine watched those Priest or believers wearing gold or red robe took to the streets and rushed to -- in one direction. The direction is Fusha Square, the largest Holy Cathedral location in Fattan. -- She stood in a crowd of people, and did not feel cramped, but Halutz stood behind her, looking slightly uneasy.
Romaine suddenly saw a familiar figure from the crowd, and a little white hand was stretched out in excitement and waved in the air:
"Mr. Alermov --"
The middle-aged man wearing a robe and dressed as a priest was slightly surprised, turned around, and looked to this side with surprise: "Romaine Young Lady?"
At this moment, the bell shrill cry of Fatham Port is not a simple bell. The bell came from the direction of Fusha Square. It is obviously a Holy Cathedral call for believers. As a believer of the most Expert in this city, it also serves as a block. The position of priest, but the faculty is actually only a multi-class to him. His other identity is the vice chairman of Fattangang Silver Shark Merchant Union. The empire is prosperous, and most of the empire merchants, Merchant Union organizations and business families Through close marriage or other means, he has known and even met the --, a beautiful lady --, the representative of Aouine's southern emerging business power, and is said to be the fiancee of Young Lord.
In the past year, the emerging forces that have risen in the south of Aouine have gained fame in the eyes of businessmen within the empire or in the eyes of the Merchant Union organization. In fact, it is far greater than their reputation in the traditional noble of the empire. The revival of the Trentheim collar and building brought a huge amount of trade to the empire. The empire's handmade products, weapons and even labor and slaves were transported through a continuous fleet Go to the humble territory in the far south of Aouine. In exchange for the precious minerals and raw materials transported from Black Forest, and after passing through these imperial merchants, they can exchange an amazing profit, and facing the people who made it all, the owner of this territory and its future Mistress, who is not willing to be kind to them?
After all, for most people in this world, ideals and beliefs are too far away. Only interest is the most real and kind thing.
, the dinner was hosted by the eldest son of the emperor. The banquet hosted many famous noble celebrities in the nearby areas, but most of them were local families and businessmen who were inextricably linked with military noble. The intention is self-evident.
Hearing from Romaine's, he stopped. Asked politely, "What's wrong, can I help you, Romaine Young Lady?"
"Nothing," Romaine hehe smiled, "I just want to ask what happened, why so many people, Mr. Alermov, where are you going?"
Because of this? Alermov froze slightly, and pointed at the spire of Holy Cathedral towards Fusha Square: "Have you heard the bell, Romaine Young Lady, this is the bell to convene believers. What should have happened to Holy Cathedral? A believer or priest nearby, hurried to Holy Cathedral to see what happened.
"Is it really the bell of Holy Cathedral. Mr. Alermov, are you correct?" The black eyes of Romaine turned slightly, that prime minister's daughter also had such a big influence on Holy Cathedral, but Brando never mentioned Having been to this matter, isn't it to say that the relationship between Holy Cathedral and the prime minister is not very good?
"Of course, this is not a joke with you. Romaine Young Lady, at this moment this bell is not usable by ordinary people. It should be that the high-level Holy Cathedral of Fire has arrived. If anyone else uses this bell to call believers, I'm afraid he can't afford the responsibility. "Speaking of here, Alermov himself has frowned, Fattan Port already has been closed for several days, how can a Holy Cathedral high-level arrive at this time?
What's more, this port is now controlled by the eldest son already. What is the meaning of the high-level Holy Cathedral arrived at this time?
"Holy Cathedral executives?"
"The high-level people here should only refer to people who are never sent by Holy Cathedral of Fire, Romaine Young Lady." Alermov had some doubts in his mind, but his mouth still answered subconsciously.
"What about so that's how it is, thank you for telling me this, Mr. Alermov." Romaine replied with a smile.
Alermov nodded, he was not sure about the future Mistress of Trentheim asking himself what they were for, or to satisfy curiosity. After all, this is not in contradiction with the other party ’s performance at the banquet. Everywhere at the banquet, the lady looked like a lovely, curious, and very business-savvy person.
Romaine didn't ask any more. After talking with the multi-class priest briefly, he saw the other person hurriedly disappear into the crowd.
"Where is the high level of Holy Cathedral, Your Highness Little Prince."
"Romaine Young Lady?"
"Don't you have an opinion, Your Highness Little Prince? After all, such complicated things are not my best." She asked back.
"There are some strange ... reasonably speaking, at this time, why would there be Holy Cathedral high-level people to Fattan port, I heard that Holy Cathedral of Fire headquarters already is controlled by The Silver Queen, how can the eldest son let her queen enter the city?" Halutz Although a little timid, but not stupid, he connected these simple reasons with a little thought.
"Meaning that you also feel weird --?"
"Wait, Romaine Young Lady, what are you doing?"
"I find it strange, of course, I have to go and see what went wrong. Brando entrusted the rear to me to take care of it, but I have to do my utmost." Romaine replied solemnly.
"Wait, but ..." Halutz was dragged by miss merchant and ran forward, panicking in panic: "But don't you need to inform adults Jutta and Nemesis adults?"
"Do you think they need our notice?"
"It's ... that seems to be true. But ..."
"No, but why are you a big man so shy, you should learn more from your teacher. Brando he is not like you --"
"I, how can I compare with the teacher ..." Halutz was anxious.
...
On the pale red to purple sky, the little silver ships are leaving the port of Fattan, heading towards the lofty inland sea, and one boat is gradually disappearing into the sea fog that pervades the harbor.
Standing on the horizontal bridge of the airport, Delphine's long purple hair dances with the wind. If you only look at the figure in the back and the flowing long hair, she can be regarded as a peerless beauty. But underneath her hair was a terrible face, and the scars left by the burn were crisscrossed across her face. One eyeball was sunk deep in the eye socket, as if there was no luster in the slightest, only the glory contained in the other eye faintly showed the moving style that this face once possessed.
She is still in a wheelchair, but Ms. Yinlong already is missing. At this moment, the wheelchair was pushed by Marjorie, while O'Neill stood a bit farther away. The latter seemed to have no cold at all with prime minister's daughter, and even very angry at the fact that she let Marjorie push the wheelchair.
But Delphine didn't care at all. She stared at the huge fleet in front of her, frowning. Before Brando suddenly let her send orders to let this fleet sail. The other party must have found any opportunity. It was for White legion. The young Lord Thane from Aouine's looks like already is ready to show his minions to The Silver Queen.
"Six o'clock."
"What?" The O'Neill not far away was confused by her headless words: "What did you say?"
"The time is wrong," Delphine stared at Tianmu and replied, "The last fleet left the port at seven in the morning, but the sky is obviously not like it is going to be eight o'clock."
"Isn't that the dawn ..."
"Dawn is in this direction. It's sunset." Delphine replied with certainty.
"It's impossible, it's just an hour before dawn!" Duke was shocked, but she suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "A solar eclipse again?"
Delphine didn't speak. At this time, the bells in the city finally came over from afar, and she raised her brow slightly. Looking back, he asked, "What is this bell?"
O'Neill didn't seem to care too much about the bell, she still stared in suspicion at the line of gold on the sea level. Replied casually: "It seems to be the bell of Holy Cathedral ..."
"No," Delphine frowned and shook his head: "The bell is ... someone in Holy Cathedral headquarters has arrived."
"Holy Cathedral headquarters?" O'Neill froze: "What do you mean, how could someone in Holy Cathedral headquarters come here?"
Marjorie has heard about Sidney, the sacred statue of the lion's palace from Ciel. He just wanted to say something, but prime minister's daughter interrupted him: "Marjorie, you have to notify Ciel, there is a problem, It ’s not Ms. Sidney, let him be careful and do battle preparation. "
Marjorie also took a moment, thinking how did you know that the person who came was not Ms. Sidney, but as a professional soldier, he still chose to obey the command of immediately: "I understand, Delphine Young Lady!"
...
Jutta felt the vibration of the carriage and woke up from a coma. The surrounding light was a bit dim, like the scene at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. The narrow Space looked like the carriage of a caravan and shot outside. The sunlight coming in was dim orange red, it was already Twilight -- or early morning.
She frowned, and the whole body's pain immediately responded from the limbs and bones. Only then did she remember the previous battle. She thought she would die, but Brando arrived as promised.
"Wake up, Boss-neesama?" The voice of Crue came from one side. She turned her head and saw that the latter was sitting aside, her legs crossed, and a thick magic book on her knee, not far from him. At the position near the entrance of the car, Mel and several other youngsters were seated. She counted subconsciously and found that at least half was missing.
Mel heard the sound of Crue and turned around to discover the situation here. He saw the gloomy face of Jutta and understood what the latter was thinking: "already is good, but Lord Thane comes in time, otherwise it will be lost. Even more, I'm afraid you will die there, even adults. "
Jutta frowned, such a heavy loss reminded her of the battle in Fir Tree Shire.
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself. What I learned at Royal Knight Academy is that someone must bleed, whether it is us or the enemy," Mel seemed to see what the boss thought, and advised: "We can All we can do is let the enemy flow more blood than ours -- "
"But you are so young ..."
"Adult, there are adventurers and mercenary killed every moment at Aouine. Some of them are much younger than us. You have been mercenary commander, you must have been familiar with these."
After listening to Mel, not only Jutta, but even Crue became silent. Indeed, in the short time of Southern Territory, these people have long been used to life and death. Whether in Aouine or Kirrlutz, or in the ten-city area farther, the survival status of adventurers and mercenary is far worse than them. As a member of White Lion Guards, they can at least have enough food, but in Aouine Southern Territory, many adventurers Live like mercenary and the desperate, struggling on the line of hunger and death.
At that time, they didn't seem to care about it, and life and death were no different. Just like those companions who were hanged to Fortress Fir by Grudin, they could only make them angry at forget it/that's all at best.
Sometimes, those of them who are living on the edge of the knife have become so sentimental.
"Mel, what made you pay for all this?" she asked in a low voice suddenly.
"Ambition," youngster replied lightly: "Sir, you do n’t understand a **** like me, you are not qualified to inherit the title, and the best way out is to become an Knight under a certain big man. The pattern of the kingdom already has not changed for many years. No matter who I follow, the final result can only be a small fief after getting old or injured. I will marry a wife and have children. One of my sons and daughters may meet in the future. Last chance, I have come out ahead, but this is not the life I want. Lord Thane is a person who the only one may overthrow the entire Aouine pattern. Only by following him in person and participating in all of this can I build a great achievement and change one's own fate, I want to prove to everyone, I am the best -- "
Crue smashed his mouth a few times in surprise, and probably didn't expect that his companion who was not so eye-catching would have such a long-term ideal. Compared to his greatest ideal, it was just to become a real wizard, or more Exaggerated, if he can reach the level of the Ciel instructor, he will probably wake up with a smile.
