Chapter 668: Between Light and Light (VII) [I'm going up the mountain today......]

After that, the road was relatively smooth, although there were still crowds of people demonstrating and protesting around, but no one dared to stop them. But even so, the atmosphere in the carriage was still very bad, and Marlene stared out the window with a gloomy face, her eyes shining with a raging fire. Lijie, on the other hand, frowned tightly, not hiding her dissatisfaction at all, which is very rare for a girl who has always been very cautious. But Anne came and went quickly, at this moment she had leaned back in the chair and fell asleep, watching her tilt her head and drooling and falling asleep, but it made people a little speechless——— didn't know what to say.

Soon, Casablanca, the capital of the Land of Light, was presented to everyone.

In terms of appearance, Casablanca and the Golden City have some similarities, such as their main color is white, with high white walls, wide streets, and scattered houses. But the Golden City is more about nature, with lush forests, mountains and calming lakes blending together under the golden castle to create a wonderful picture. In contrast, the City of Light is more like a miracle of human civilization, and the most striking thing in the city is not the natural scenery, but the tall buildings. The tall buildings that are all white stand out from the crowd, and their presence can be seen at a glance.

One of the most striking is the Temple of the Radiant Dragon, which is located on the east side of Casablanca, and unlike the angular castles, the Temple of the Radiant Dragon is more like a blooming flower, with petals spreading out in all directions, revealing the holy and beautiful stamens within. On either side of it, round pillars supported the palaces that reached into the sky on either side, where the other two archangels lived. Unlike Lydia, the two archangels have always lived a life of seclusion. They secretly protect the Dragon's Soul of Light from harm, while also commanding the remaining Legion of War Angels.

In the game, many players have discussed why the remaining two archangels did not "set up their own portals" like Lydia, because if they also established a country controlled by the archangel like Lydia did, then there would be no need for the country of light at all, as long as the three archangels would unite the three countries. It is still possible to establish a kingdom of God that belongs only to the dragon of light, and there is no need to live a miserable life like now. Especially before this, when the Council of Light gave the Dragon Soul of Light to the Dragon of the Night, the presence of the two archangels could not be lower, and almost no one remembered their existence. This is really a very strange thing, it stands to reason that the two archangels, as the existence of the dragon soul that protects the light, should protect their own masters in this situation, but they are missing——— some players say that they were secretly eliminated by the Council of Light. Some players also say that they were disheartened after seeing Lydia defeated and dead. Abandoned his mission and chose the path of depravity. But even the players of the Land of Light can't tell where the two archangels have gone.

Although under the sunlight, the Dragon Temple of Light in front of him showed dazzling brilliance, but he didn't know what it was, but Rhodes always felt that it looked a little dim, as if looking at the opposite side through a layer of sunglasses, it was always a little dim. I don't know what the road is.........

Except for the Dragon Sanctuary of Light. Two other buildings are equally striking, and they are not very luxurious. It's not beautiful, but it's a big one, with round columns surrounding and supporting a tall triangular dome, and a quadrangular roof from top to bottom blending with the rectangular thick building walls, imbuing it with a sense of sacredness and solemnity. This is where the Council and House of Light are located. It is also the true political center of the Land of Light.................. Or rather, the core.

However, it is not these that the City of Light is best known for.

Rod withdrew his gaze. Moving to the south to the seashore, he soon saw a tall building there, a huge right hand carved out of stone, which held a torch aloft. Far away from the Dragon Sanctuary of Light.

It is the most famous building in the country ——— a beacon of freedom.

It was built on the centenary of the founding of the Council of Light, when the Council of Light built the lighthouse to "celebrate the freedom of humanity to finally be independent, and that they no longer need to look at the eyes of the dragon soul and the archangel to take charge of their own future!" ”

Seeing the lighthouse in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't understand what the Dragon Soul of Light thought, as the Creation Dragon Soul, he participated in the Creation War, sacrificed so much, and the peace that came after the most was obtained. Hasn't the Creation Dragon Soul seen the nature of human beings? Humans are full of desires, and in essence, there is no difference between Rhodes and these members of the Council of Light. They all aspire to power, to consolidate their power, to have as few things as possible to restrain themselves, and to have as many things as possible that they can control. How could the dragon of light not understand this? Could it be that she has a low IQ? Rhodes didn't think so, if the Radiant Dragon really had a low IQ, then it would be impossible for the Radiant Dragon to still own such a large piece of land at the end of the Creation War, and it would have been squeezed into the pimple corner by the Night Dragon Kingdom and the Law Country.

So why did the dragon of light do this?

I'm afraid that this question can only be asked clearly by looking for the Light Dragon at that time when traveling back to the Creation War. Because when the dragon soul inheritor inherits the dragon soul, he will only inherit the knowledge and power of the dragon soul possessed by the previous one, and will not obtain the memory of the previous one himself, so this question ——— even if Rhodes goes to the current dragon soul of light to ask, I'm afraid the other party will not know anything.

The carriage slowed down, and came to a halt in front of the Council of Light.

Then, the door opened.

Lydia stepped out of the carriage and soon saw the councillors standing in front of the Council of Light, dressed in fine clothes, they looked at her with a warm smile, and when they saw her step out of the carriage, they also smiled at her——— it was a smile from the bottom of their hearts, especially after they knew what had just happened. In addition to the people of the Council of Light, on both sides of the stairs, there were the lords and representatives of other major territories, and when they saw the arrival of Lydia and the others, their faces were also different. Some people are worried. Some people laughed at it, while others looked like they didn't care about watching the show, and obviously, they all knew what had just happened.

"On behalf of the Council of Light, I welcome you, honorable archangel."

The old council chief stepped forward with a smile on his face. He bowed to Lydia and then looked up with a look of regret and apology on his face. He glanced at the people behind Lydia and gave them a very apologetic and helpless smile.

"On behalf of the Council of Light, I am sorry for this, but I ask for your understanding that as a free nation, there is no reason for us to prevent the activities of the people's self-organization. Unless they go too far, we don't do much. This is also to avoid unnecessary disputes, but I believe that the people are sensible and they will not act recklessly........."

Hearing this, the faces of many people immediately sank.

None of the people who had followed Lydia this time were idiots, and they immediately understood what the old council chief meant, although on the surface, the old council chief was apologizing for everything that had happened before. But looking at the content of his defense of the people, you can understand what this old immortal means. He said that the people would not act recklessly and ignorantly, which means that the demonstration was organized by the people. Disciplined and very smart moves? Everyone in the delegation who had been scolded all the way on the road was in a bad mood, and at this moment they heard the old council chief openly and secretly exonerate the mob, and affirmed the actions of those people in his words, as long as he was sober-minded, who didn't know what this old bastard was thinking? Isn't he secretly sarcastic about himself?

"Of course I can understand, Speaker. Whether it's running a city or a country, it's a very difficult thing to do. ”

Lydia's smile remained unchanged, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words at all, and gently revealed the matter, and then. She gracefully stretched out her right hand——— but it was not a handshake gesture, on the contrary, Lydia stretched out her right hand, the back of her hand facing up, her palm down, and she put her hand in front of the old council leader, smiling silently.

“………………………”

This time, it was the turn of the Council of Light's faces to change slightly. And the lords and representatives of other territories were bright-eyed at this time!

Of course, they knew what Lydia meant, and that it was for the old council chief to kiss his hand!!

On the Dragon Soul Continent, the hand kiss is a solemn and formal custom, and it is only qualified for the upper class. And on such solemn and formal occasions, only people of high status are qualified to use this courtesy. But in this way, problems arise.

The hand kiss is a kind of etiquette among the upper and lower classes. And at this moment, Lydia made this move, implying that she has a higher status than the old council leader, she is telling the Council of Light unmistakably that she ——— Lydia is the direct subordinate of the dragon soul of light, one of the three archangels! And your Council of Light is nothing more than a subordinate under this! Your status is lower than mine!

In the Dragon Soul Sanctuary before, Lydia had never done this!!

If the old councilmaster was to accept Lydia's salute, he would have to get down on one knee and kiss Lydia's finger——— which was a naked humiliation to the Council of Light!!

They had been working hard for so long, but in the end, the representative of the Council of Light actually bowed to an angel!!

If the old council leader did this, then it would mean that the Council of Light was completely disgraced! And if he doesn't do this, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to a formal break with the Duchy of Moon in front of everyone, Lydia is the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Moon, the lord of a country, under the gaze of all the lords and representatives on the Continent of Light, if the old council leader refuses Lydia's etiquette, then the relationship between them will be completely broken at this time!

The people of the Council of Light didn't expect that after they laughed at Lydia and the others, the retribution would come so quickly. It's a formal diplomatic occasion. So many people are here watching, what should the old council president do in the face of Lydia's action? Lydia made a very perfect kiss and hand, he didn't have time to shake hands with the water, this was a good opportunity to resolve the crisis, but who is Lydia? Archangel, her strength is second only to the creation dragon soul, and the old council leader is just an ordinary person——— only in terms of rank attributes. He wasn't even level ten.

How could Lydia give him this opportunity.

For a moment, the air froze.

Rhodes looked at the scene in front of him with interest, and everyone in the delegation was also smiling at this time, looking at the Council of Light as a matter of course. In their eyes, this is a matter of course, and Lydia is the archangel who serves the dragon soul, so she is naturally much higher than your Council of Light. It is a matter of course to kiss your hand, and the archangel's kiss is already a gift to you, don't you kneel down and thank you? Mortal?

The air was extremely solemn, and even the deputies who were standing by and watching the excitement showed their eyes in disbelief, they did not expect that as soon as the two sides met, they did not even have an outpost, and directly entered the stage of fierce conflict. At this moment, all eyes are on the old council leader, whether he wants to do this salute or not?

No one can say.

A lot of people know it. The current Speaker of the Parliament is in an unstable position in the Parliament, because of a series of mediocre policies and decisions since he came to power, his approval rating in the Land of Light has fallen to its lowest point, and even within the Parliament, some people have begun to discuss a replacement. At this time, if he chooses to give in, then it means that the re-election of the old parliament president is basically completely finished, and there will be no more possibilities. A man who turned his back on the traditions of the Council of Light in full view. is not qualified to govern the country.

But what if he refuses?

The hostile relationship between the Council of Light and the Duchy of Moon will be completely substantial, and they may face the barrier of the Night Dragon Kingdom as a result. Not only that, but it is almost certain that Lydia will definitely reduce the amount of money given to the Dragon Soul of Light this time——— which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Land of Light, which is already in financial crisis right now!! If they don't have enough money to cover the shortfall, they can see what kind of turmoil will happen in the coming year for those territories that don't have enough local financial support. They might even affect the stability of the entire Radiant Dragon Kingdom!!

Is it to choose your own political future? Or the future of the Land of Light?

Looking at the palm of the hand in front of him, which was as bright as white jade, the old council leader raised his head, and he saw Lydia's smile as soft as a spring breeze, but firm as a mountain. That's the archangel's answer, and she's firm. Resolute, without a trace of doubt, and without any wavering. His gaze crossed over to Lydia and behind her, where he saw his old rival. Amund was leaning against a staff at the moment, silent. Behind him, the young men looked at themselves quietly. Their eyes are full of determination and clarity.

This is the future of the Duchy of Moon...............

The old council leader sighed in his heart, he finally understood why this time Lydia did not let the members of the three major families come as before, but brought such a group of young people, they were young, they had a strong enough will, and they had also experienced the scene just now............... So, where is the future of our kingdom of light? The old council leader didn't look back, but he could feel the eyes of his colleagues behind him, anger, helplessness, surprise, worry, and ridicule. Are they really for the good of the country? Everyone thinks that it was their own poor decision-making that led to the current situation of the Land of Light. But what did they do? Every time, every time I put forward a bill, those whose interests have been touched can't wait to come out and veto it, and they will make up a thousand or ten thousand reasons to protect their interests. But what can I do? Can he object? Can he ignore the opinions of those people? If you do this, then you will be regarded as a tyrant by them, let alone re-elected, and I am afraid that you will be directly dismissed from your post and ousted from power. Even now, even when it comes to the glory and dignity of the Council of Light, and even the entire Nation of Light, they are not able to stand on the same side as themselves, on the contrary, there are still people among them who look at their own jokes?

Have they forgotten that they are also members of the Council of Light, the Land of Light?

I'm old...............

This thought flashed through the old council leader's heart, and suddenly, the old man felt that his breathing was extremely heavy, and at this moment, he already knew what to do.

The old man lowered his gray-haired head.

Seeing this scene, many people's pupils narrowed. Some clenched their fists, some subconsciously stepped forward half a step, and some opened their mouths to shout something. However, none of them could stop the old council leader's next move——— he bent down and got down on one knee!!

Seeing this scene, the deputies behind the old council president only felt that their whole body was cold, and the blood was rushing to the top of their heads, and they couldn't believe it, staring at the scene in front of them.

This kneeling has removed the pride and glory of the Council of Light for hundreds of years!!

He didn't know what he was doing?!!

"Welcome, Your Highness."

The old councillor spoke hoarsely, and then he reached out respectfully and took Lydia's right hand, and then kissed her fingertips.

All this ended completely at this moment.

PS: At one o'clock at noon today, my father walked into the house, and the first thing he did was to announce that he would go up the mountain ——— afternoon to escape the heat, and my little friends and I were stunned............ Dad is worthy of being a dad, and he has always been so resolute in his work, so from tomorrow onwards, I will stay in the barren mountains and mountains for a week.........

Fortunately, the mountain people have their own clever plan, tossing for a long time, and finally bought a 3G monthly 100-hour unrestricted wireless network card, 500 oceans are out of the way, is there any...............

If the network is smooth, the update will not be short.

Thereupon............ I beg everyone's monthly pass to be more violent

Now I'm going to pack my things, and I'll be on a shift today. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
