Chapter 260: The Silk Thread Sought
PS: It's already the last moment, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a sprint............
To Rhodes' relief, Lillian didn't dwell on Irene's affairs. She did learn from the others that Ireen was going to the Void Realm, but Lillian only asked Rhodes who Irene was, and then warned him to be carefulβββ but Lillian's so-called caution was not on the same level as Rhodes.
"That Ian is very annoying, always so scary, Brother Rod, you have to be careful, his sister may be terrifying too, but I believe that Brother Rod, he will definitely not be bullied by her! If she dares to bully you, let her see how good you are. I'm sure Brother Rhodes will be fine! β
Advice for Lillian............... Rod only had to "laugh and accept".
In the chat with Lilian, neither of them talked about any major matters, after all, even if there was a big event, Lilian couldn't call the shots. And Lilian also knew that the relationship between the Kingdom of Light and Rhodes was not good now, and at this time she was even a little glad that she was just an ornament and not a real ruler, at least these things had nothing to do with her, so that she could chat with Rhodes here quietly, without being embarrassed by those boring things. As before, it was Lilian who was talking, and Rhodes was listening. Although for Lilian, Sonia is also someone close to her, but there are some words that can only be mentioned in front of Rhodes after all.
It can even be said that this time Lilian has more on her mind than before.
In the past, Lillian was just ignorant and ignorant of doing this and that under the arrangement of the Council of Light, although her heart was full of questions and puzzles, but it was only a small complaint and trouble. But now it's different, and as Lillian begins to try to regain her rightful power, the more resistance she encounters. However, with the appearance of Sonya, Lilian is no longer alone as before. The joy of finally being able to find a comrade standing in the same trench as him diluted the original anger and uneasiness. It is precisely because of this mood, coupled with the fact that Rhodes is now the inheritor of the dragon soul as himself, and he doesn't have to worry about any etiquette like before, Lilian is also extremely excited, and tells Rhodes with great interest everything she has done since the last time the two separated, although it has little effect. But Lillian is really growing.
ββ¦β¦ Call............ Phew..............."
I don't know when, the exhausted Lilian curled up in Rod's arms and fell into a sweet dream. Rod, on the other hand, stroked Lilian's hair and stared at the face with a sweet smile. Everything is going well, Sonya's side seems to be doing very well, and the problem on the Council of Light's side, although it has indeed dragged on for a while, is almost to the limit. The riots in various parts of the Land of Light are gradually subsided, and there are basically no thugs to be found, except for the most troubled frontiers. And. The next president of the Council of Light has almost been decided.
It's time to get started.
"You seem to be thinking something dangerous, huh? His Majesty Rhodes? β
At this moment, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Rod's ears, and Rod turned his head to see Lydia looking towards him with a smile. She glanced at Lilian, who was already asleep, and then withdrew her gaze to look at Rhodes in front of her. And in the face of Lydia's gaze, Rod nodded slightly. Then he picked Lillian up in his arms and placed her on the soft couch next to her.
"Your Majesty seems to have fallen asleep. Can I borrow a little time? β
"Of course there is no problem."
Hearing Lydia's words, Rhodes withdrew his gaze from the sleeping Lilian, and then turned his head to look at the archangel in front of him.
It was already dusk, and the dazzling glow of the sunset sun poured down from the side of the mountain, burning the entire forest into a bright red. A staggered dappled light and shadow shrouded the land, and not far away, you could see the believers still walking on the white slope. They leaned down reverently and walked slowly. Looking at the scene in front of her, Lydia narrowed her eyes and looked at the believers who were heading towards the temple with an expression of appreciation.
"Faith is such a wonderful thing......... Don't you think so? His Majesty Rhodes? What exactly supports these people. Trekking from such a distant homeland, regardless of the dangers of the journey, just to see this temple? Or are they merely using this as a source to confirm the firm will of their inner soul? β
"Just call me by my name, Your Highness Lydia, for me, the so-called Your Majesty is not such a reverent title. To be honest, seeing you call me that makes me feel a little uncomfortable. β
"That's not good, no matter what, you are now one of the inheritors of the dragon soul, and the necessary etiquette is still indispensable."
Although he spoke respectfully, it looked like Lydia was making fun of her, but Rhodes didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he couldn't know what kind of person Lydia was. And for Rod, he doesn't really care about this identity and anything like that.
"I have something to ask you, Your Highness Lydia."
"Is it about Liliane's majesty?"
Hearing Rod's words, Lydia smiled and leaned against the trunk of the tree and turned around.
"I don't know much, after all, I've only been the archangel for a short time, and I should say that before I became the archangel, Lilian had already become the inheritor of the dragon soul............... However, Your Majesty, you should know how the Dragon Soul Inheritor was created. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Lydia's inquiry, Rhodes raised his eyebrows and did not answer. Of course, he knew how the inheritors of the dragon soul of the Dao Dao were created, and unlike the general situation, the inheritors of the dragon soul were not descendants connected by blood, but were randomly selected among the newborns born under the protection of the dragon soul. Of course, this choice is not really arbitrary, the new Dragon Soul Inheritor himself is the condensation of the essence of the Dragon Soul Power of this continent, and only such a body can withstand the huge power of the Dragon Soul. And before the death of the previous dragon soul heir. A new successor to the condensed dragon soul power essence will be born, and the position of the new inheritor will only be known to the previous dragon soul inheritor. As far as the normal steps are concerned, the newborn dragon soul inheritor will be immediately brought back to the palace by his predecessor to teach and experience himself. Knowledge and power are all transferred, and the previous Dragon Soul Inheritor dies......... And that's where the new cycle begins. Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is generally up to the most trusted family members of the previous Dragon Soul to bring their heirs back to avoid any accidents.
But now Lydia suddenly asked herself this question.........
"There's only one thing I can say."
Looking at the silent Rod, Lydia chuckled and reached out.
"The current Dragon of Light. Her Majesty Liliane was brought back by the Council of Light. That's all I know. β
Brought back by the Council of Light?
Hearing Lydia's words, a gleam flashed in Rod's eyes, and then, silently, he nodded to Lydia silently, and then turned and left the woods. Looking at Rod's distant back, Lydia smiled meaningfully. She chuckled and reached out and put it to her mouth.
"So. Where can you go next? His Majesty Rhodes? β
"You've gone too far, Lydia."
And at this moment, suddenly, a serious, deep voice sounded. Subsequently. Blazing golden flames erupted, enveloping Lydia in it. Then, the six-winged angel stepped out of the woods, his two bright eyes burning with obvious anger.
"I could tolerate your recklessness before, but now. You've done more than you can do! Lydia, who gave you the power to leak our secrets so wantonly to outsiders?! β
"Gee, I don't think that's a secret, right? His Highness Boulder. β
Facing the golden flames that surrounded her, Lydia did not have the slightest panicked expression on her face, on the contrary, she still had the same smile as always, her hands were down, and with Lydia's movements, two beautiful and peerless long swords appeared in her hands.
"Concealed diseases only exacerbate the disease, and putrid soil cannot be purified without sunlight......... As the archangel, you should understand this very well. Do you only intend to cover up everything that you have caused because of your own mistakes? What is the difference between you and the pests that hide under the branches and leaves of the flowers, sucking and cannibalizing? β
"You............ How dare you say that! β
Hearing Lydia's words, Boulder's face changed dramatically, he clenched the sword in his hand, and his eyes were almost bursting with anger.
"You don't know anything at all, you have only been an archangel for a few years, and you dare to raise objections to our approach?"
"It's no different from the length of time, I'm also the archangel, am I? His Highness Boulder? β
Lydia walked slowly to the edge of the flames, her eyes sharp, shrill.
"A noble reason is not an excuse to hide cowardice, for me, as long as I can overcome the predicament in front of me, I will seek help that I can seek together. I can't understand the feelings you have for your former Dragon Soul Heir, Your Majesty, but that's not a reason for you to wantonly hurt Lillian's Majesty. As a courtier serving the 'current' Dragon of Light, there is nothing I will not do as long as my lord can get out of the predicament in front of me. Don't forget our duties and identity, Your Highness Boulder. β
"You don't understand at all, you don't understand ............ at all!!"
"I don't need to understand."
The two swords staggered, and the sword wind that they brought up instantly exploded, splitting the wall formed by the golden flames in front of him in two. Lydia slowly stepped out of the wall of fire, her eyes staring gravely at her colleague in front of her.
"When spring turns to autumn, ripe fruits will one day fall to the ground, and new shoots will grow from the dead branches that have fallen leaves. It's acceptable to ignore the beauty of the present and just dwell on the dreams of the past, but to hurt the delicate and weak seedlings because of that false dream is nothing but brutal and tyrannical foolishness. β
"Lydia ............!!!"
The anger in Boulder's eyes had reached its peak, and there was anger in his trembling voice. He raised the sword in his hand and aimed it in Lydia's direction. And Lydia also lowered her swords, staggered in front of her.
"It's hard to look at a wound that can't heal............... His Royal Highness Boulder ............ Are you sure you want to go to war with me now? β
As Lydia spoke, the bright red glow of the sunset suddenly turned into a tangible weight and spread out towards the surroundings.
"At this twilight?"
"That's it."
Just as this moment was about to erupt, suddenly, another figure came out of the woods and stood quietly between the two, like a hard and invisible wall, cutting off the intertwined fighting intent between the two sides.
"This is the country of law, please be careful in your words and deeds. Lydia, we don't doubt your loyalty to our lord, but ..............."
"The past is a motivation rather than a burden, and from that point of view, I really can't understand what you think."
Interrupting Sling, Lydia withdrew her sword, and then she glanced at the silent Boulder.
"Is there anything more important than cherishing the present?"
With that, Lydia shook her head, then turned to leave. Slynn and Boulder watched her back and remained silent.
The last ray of sunset light also completely disappeared below the horizon at this time.
Night falls. (To be continued......)
