Chapter 255: The Rite of Necessity

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed like a ball that had punctured the air.

Hearing Nalaya's words, the dark dragon snorted coldly and said nothing. And Rod shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened. Only Lilian glared at the Dark Dragon with some dissatisfaction, but after looking at Rod, she finally reluctantly restrained her anger. No matter what the reason is, but at least for now, they do eliminate the intention of wanting to fight, which makes Xigall, who was still a little uneasy standing next to him, finally relieved. It is true that although her sister does not seem to be very reliable, sometimes, her unreliable behavior makes people feel reassured. Even myself, although I felt a little helpless because of my sister's off-line behavior, but because of this, unexpectedly, the originally nervous mood began to become relaxed.

Thinking of this, Higal took a deep breath, then collected his mood and walked forward slowly.

"Then, please follow your majesty Lilian, Rhodes, and Ion into the dragon souls, and for the others, please stay here and wait a while. If you can, I hope you can exercise restraint............" Saying this, Sigal glanced at Lilian and Ion, and seeing that they did not disagree, he reached out and made an inviting gesture to Rod.

"Then, Your Majesty Rod, please follow me."

"It's good."

Rod nodded without hesitation at Seagal's invitation, then he turned his head, reached out and patted Little Bubblegum's head, then made eye contact between Canary and Marlene, then turned and followed behind Seagal, walking deeper into the Sanctuary. And on the other side. Lilian also hurriedly took two steps and happily followed behind Rod. Only Ion stared coldly at the two in front of him, and it wasn't until a moment later that he snorted coldly and walked slowly into the deep and dim passage.

"Pretending guys."

Looking at Ion's back, little bubblegum pursed her lips disdainfully. Then, she looked curiously at the canary beside her.

"By the way, big sister, do you know what the head of the Dao Dao is doing here? Isn't it like those bullshit religious ceremonies, baptism or something? That's a, we're not here to watch a monkey show, and of course, if we can get a fight with some guys, that's a different story. ”

While speaking, the little bubble gum looked at the four demon generals not far away with excited eyes. In her eyes. Shines with undisguised fighting spirit. It's just that this time in the face of Little Bubble Gum's unscrupulous provocation, the Four Demon Generals didn't make any response, even the most provocative Esvielle, at this time, they didn't make any response to Little Bubble Gum. The previous loss had already made the Blood Countess secretly vigilant, and naturally she would not be so stupid to kill herself.

Although the three factions do not have any water from each other's wells, this does not mean that they really have no communication at all.

"I really didn't expect that His Majesty was really strong in his hands."

Irene leaned against the corner of the wall, squinting her eyes and looking at Marlene and the others on the side. Curiously shaking the wine glass in his hand.

"Only fertile soil can nurture a beautiful garden, and rhizomes that penetrate deep into the earth can support the growth of towering trees. I don't think it's that weird, Irene. ”

Leisurely walking out of the shadows, Lydia leaned leisurely on the stone pillar beside Irene, looking in the direction of the canary and the others with interesting eyes.

"To be honest, even I'm a little jealous, I knew it was like this. I shouldn't have agreed to his request in the first place. But now it looks ............ It seems that I made the right choice. ”

At this, the corners of Lydia's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile. Seeing the expression on her face, Irene sighed helplessly.

"Yes, to be able to have the Genesis Dragon Soul as a guardian knight. You're the first in the past, and even I'm a little jealous. It's a shame that he wasn't born in the Land of Night, otherwise I'd have wished he had become my knight. In the Night Country, it's rare to see such an admirable existence. But......... It's not like I'm completely out of chances, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Irene's words, Lydia raised her eyebrows curiously, and turned her head to look at the black-haired girl in front of her. Feeling Lydia's gaze, Irene chuckled, then held out a finger to her mouth.

"It's very simple, why do you think I'm going to come to this holy ceremony?"

"Indeed, if I remember correctly, the one in your family probably doesn't like you to interfere in internal affairs."

In the face of Irene's words, Lydia frowned, she had this question before, as the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Moon, Lydia knew a lot about the situation in the Night Country. In fact, although Irene is a princess, she is strictly forbidden by the dark dragon to meddle in internal and military affairs. Normally, she would not be allowed to appear in such diplomatic situations. But now, she followed the Four Demons to the Kingdom of Law, which was originally a somewhat strange thing. But now, after hearing Irene's answer, Lydia seemed to have a clue.

"Do you mean ...............?"

"That's right, just like you think, I'm being used as a bargaining chip by my brother, maybe it won't be long before I marry the Void Lord. Whew, how's that? Are you already a little anxious? ”

As she looked at Lydia, Irene laughed as she ate, not at all showing that she didn't want to do anything. On the contrary, it is more like before the young lady goes out to play, full of excitement and anticipation. Seeing Irene's smile, Lydia pursed her lips helplessly and shrugged her shoulders.

"I really didn't expect this to happen......... Ah, it seems that this is indeed a mistake on my part. It's a pity, if I had known that this was the case, I should have started as soon as possible, but ......... Although it is not as good as the flowers that are carefully cultivated in the greenhouse, the flowers that bloom in the wild have a different flavor, right? It should be said that that tenacious vitality and perseverance are the most beautiful products of this world. ”

At this, Lydia closed her eyes.

"If there ever is such a day, then I will bless you, Irene. Well......... But I don't think it's likely that you can get his recognition so easily, after all, there are a lot of opponents, right? ”

"That's true."

Irene nodded slightly, although her words sounded like she was talking and laughing, but in fact she gave people the appearance of thinking very seriously about the future. She turned her head sideways, carefully looked at Marlene, Canary and the others, then frowned and withdrew her gaze.

"In every sense of the word, I have a lot of enemies to face. And............... Aren't you one of them? ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Quite simply, if I do marry into the Void Lord, then wouldn't the Radiant Dragon choose you as a bargaining chip on the other side of the balance in order to maintain balance?" Irene smiled and turned her head, looking carefully at Lydia beside her. "And, as far as you're concerned, aren't you really interested at all?"

“…………………”

This time, Lydia did not answer Irene's inquiry immediately, instead, she just raised her head, cast her gaze to the end of the deep, dim, candlelit passageway, and then narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth playfully curled slightly.

"Who knows?"

Then, she replied.

The dimly lit passage was unusually quiet, and Rhodes quietly followed behind Higal, contemplating the tome that was about to begin. Judging from the current situation and the previous reactions of Siegel and others, this should be a completely internal ritual, and Rod certainly wouldn't think it was a baptismal ritual like Little Bubblegum. Because Nalya and Siegal are only the inheritors of the dragon soul, in terms of status, they are exactly the same as Ion, Lilian and themselves, so they are not qualified to baptize themselves.

Then, the fact that this holy book has been able to be preserved until now, and even recognized by the Dark Dragon, then it shows that it is very likely that there are some secrets that players do not know. Because in the game, players can kill the inheritors of the dragon soul and open up the territory, but they will never become the inheritors of the dragon soul, so it is naturally impossible for players to start with the plots and tasks that are exclusive to the inheritors of the dragon soul. Coupled with a ritual like this that only the inheritors of the Dragon Soul and their dependents are eligible to participate in, I'm afraid it's useless for players to brush their prestige to the full level of worship. So even if there is such a ritual in the game, it is impossible for the player to know the way. And for now, this ritual will only be activated when the Dragon Soul Inheritor inherits the power of the Dragon Soul, which means that it is almost impossible for the player to get involved in this mission.

And now, Rhodes will actually "trigger" this kind of plot, and judging from the previous thoughts, it is very likely that this holy book hides some unknown secret in the Dragon Soul Continent. Otherwise, they would never have chosen to put Siggar and Nalaia in charge of overseeing the holy text.

Thinking of this, Rhodes raised his head again and looked at the back of the woman in front of him, as well as the long sword behind her.

This back is not new to Rod, and it can even be said to be very familiar. He had followed the twin dragons more than once, fighting to restore order and destroy Chaos.

And now, I finally appeared in front of them again. (To be continued......)
