79. Captivity in disguise
Golando's concerns came true. On the day of the Son's canonization, the rebellion was seen by the royal family as an indelible stain, and the Holy See kept the matter secret, and the reputation of the high priest plummeted.
The people were divided into two factions, the minority still choosing to believe in the Son and supporting the Son because of the miracle of the reappearance, and the other choosing to hate the Son and oppose the Son because of their terrible losses - what a reasonable development.
Only two days after the riots, the opposition came to the door many times to ask the Holy See for the Holy Son himself, and they spoke fiercely, claiming that they would personally deal with the enemies who had lost their relatives, and the Holy See naturally could not hand over the Son of Prophecy, so the opposition people stood outside the Holy See day and night to protest.
The Holy See reported the details to the royal family of Ferga, but the royal family ignored the actions of the opposition, and the oppositionists felt that they had the support of the royal family, and their words and deeds became even more unscrupulous.
Most of them are commoners who do not believe in gods and have no magical talents, and they do not consider the interests of nobles and magicians, so when they make trouble, they exaggerate and smear the Royal Academy of Magic that cultivated Ronoye, and this behavior has brought the feelings of some commoners who hate the nobles, and more and more people have joined the opposition.
Seeing that the situation would be out of control, for the sake of the Son's safety, the Holy See decided to send the Son to Alfonsta, where he would be isolated from the rest of the world.
Unexpectedly, the royal family of Ferga turned a blind eye to the opposition's deposit, and readily agreed when the Holy See asked to borrow the power of the Royal Wizards.
The Holy See and the Royal Wizards' Senior Magicians have set up a strong barrier outside the entire Elfonsta, and its barrier is so tight that no birds or mosquitoes can break through, and only the High Priest and the Grand Prince can enter the tower to meet the Holy Son.
Does this count as protection? In fact, it is just captivity in disguise.
Golando thought.
What's even worse is that he has not been able to find a chance to speak to the high priest since he returned from the ceremony, the clergy of the Holy See have a tough attitude, and these days have strictly restricted his range of activities, and Golando does not want to conflict with the Holy See in such a sensitive period, and angering the Holy See and the royal family with his unmatched strength will only add to the trouble.
In the past few days when he was closed to the Holy See, Golando tried his best to find out the news of Ronoye, but the clergy did not deliberately hide it, and even told the truth about the Son being resisted by the victims of the monster riot.
The more he knew, the more worried he became about Ronoye's current situation, but he himself was a wolf in chains, so what could he do if he was worried.
Now he is nothing more than a lonely man, in the eyes of some people, maybe he is still a lost dog, a person is a mantis arm to a country, so he urgently needs strength.
The High Priest allowed Golando to leave the Holy See after dealing with Ronoye, but only gave him half a day to pack his luggage, as if he wanted to drive him to the Valian Eagle immediately, and to contact what he had seen and heard in the past few days, even a fool knew that the High Priest's mind was not pure, not to mention that Gorando was not stupid at all.
Before the ceremony, the high priest didn't let them ask why he didn't answer his and Ronoye's questions, as if he knew that something would happen to the ceremony and tricked Ronoye into bearing notoriety, and Gorando's hatred for the high priest was almost oozing out of his bones.
He didn't care what the high priest stood or suffered, he only knew that it was that person who made the innocent Ronoye a deceitful and swindler in the mouth of the world now.
The young master was bent on sacrificing himself to save Felgar, full of yearning for serving the country, and so flattered after becoming the Holy Son, he was full of hope to ride the float of the Holy See, but ushered in such an ironic end.
The monster riot at the canonization ceremony shattered Ronoye's lofty ideals and pure aspirations, not only shattered, but also trampled and shattered, ruined to worthless.
In the future, whenever the people of Fergar mentioned the name of the Duke of Amphilos' Palace, they would not think of how wise the Duke was, nor how heroic the Knights of Orwin was, but only that there was a false Son of Ronoye under the surname of Amphilos, just as the Royal Academy of Magic had also suffered injustice.
This series of effects is terrible, people are blinded by pain, their eyes are covered by hatred, they have no way to take revenge on the monster hiding in the gap in space, so they selfishly transfer their anger to Ronoye, the happier Ronoye's first seventeen years are, the more envious they are, and the more superior Ronoye's own conditions, the more jealous they are.
They lost their loved ones and their possessions were overturned, and Ronoye was only unconscious, with nothing to lose, and the Children of Prophecy weaved them a false dream that lasted less than two minutes before it lost its persuasiveness. They may just need an outlet, and the Children of Prophecy have unfortunately become that outlet.
And it would have been the High Priest who had caused it to become, if it weren't for his insistence on making Ronoye the Son......
For this alone, Golando would never forgive the High Priest.
The clergyman who relayed the news did not seem to have any intention of spying on him, and after conveying the meaning of the high priest, he said a few polite words and left, Golando closed the door, looked at the back of the door panel, and remembered that Ronoye had come to him in a white robe before the ceremony.
His body remembered Ronoyer's body temperature, his hands remembered the touch of Ronoyer's skin and hair, his ears remembered Ronoyer's voice, and his brain remembered every word Ronoyer had ever said.
Golando stared at the empty door panel in a daze, as if his young master was still leaning there and smiling at him.
He used to always want Ronoye to grow up quickly, and he used a lot of words and actions to maliciously force Ronoye to be strong, at first he chose the dark experience to tell in front of the little master as if he was showing off his experience, and deliberately tore the beautiful world to the other party, and then he did similar things to these, and now he regrets it.
always thought that Ronoye was a young master who was not dry and ignorant of the world, but in fact, he should be the most naïve.
Golando tugged at his hair, and bad imaginations came to his mind one by one.
The future prophesied by Ronoye was crushed by the iron hooves of reality, and his value as a holy son was completely lost.
No longer convinced by the populace, no longer recognized by Fergar, misunderstood by the people, blamed by the royal family, ostracized by the nobility, imprisoned/imprisoned by the Holy See, and cold-eyed by his father who was far away on the battlefields of the north...... Once Ronoye regains consciousness, these "malice" will come flooding in.
Even if Ronoye gritted his teeth and endured all of the above, he couldn't keep his original intention in the end.
Gorando only felt a pang of pain in Ronoye's position, which is the worst way to grow.
But it's useless to just be sad and curse.
Ronoye was imprisoned by Fergar and the Holy See, and he did not have the ability to rush into the enchantment to take away Ronoye, and even due to the shielding effect of the enchantment, he did not even know the truth about whether the young master had awakened or not, and whether he had been accused of the monster riot/chaos, so he had to hurry up and do what he could before leaving the Holy See and going to the Mighty Eagle.
All the clergy who had been to the ceremony that day had been transferred out of the Archchurch, and when Golando returned, he was met with strange faces that he had never seen before, and the servants that Ronoye had brought from the Duke's Palace were also nowhere to be seen, but Golando did not care, and did not have the energy to care about them.
The room where Ronoye had stayed was long empty, so Gorando had to first collect what he could use in his room and throw it into his suitcase, and then buy some practical scrolls in the Holy See's sacristy shop. These things are more expensive than those sold outside, but the quality is much better.
At this time, he didn't have time to care about the unreasonable price of the Holy See, and he had saved money for many years, and he still had this savings, although the high priest had bad intentions, but he had paid him all the expenses of the Brave Eagle, and in the future, there were more ways to make money, and he didn't have to worry about money in a short time.
With everything to bring and what to buy, and one last bit of time left, Golando decided to check out Gustav's room.
Fortunately, Gustav's room remained as it was, and the attendants of the Holy See were too busy to take care of the traces left by the Son, and they did not have time to clean it up.
Golando walked around the room, searching every nook and cranny he could think of, but to his disappointment, the closets and bedside tables in the guest room were empty, without any hint of life.
Regardless of whether Elderland deliberately didn't leave clues to avoid being identified, the real Gustav was such a boring person.
But Golando still didn't give up, his instincts told him that Gustav wouldn't be so light until he was replaced by Eldrán, and that with that man's personality, he would definitely leave something behind.
Gustav on the airship is still the real Gustav, if Elderland wants to drop the bag with the real Gustav, he can only choose the period when they stay in the Holy See, and during this period, Golando and the real Gustav will go to the open field every day to fight, and the time that Elderland can exploit the loophole is narrowed to the time between Ronoye's departure from the prophecy and the ceremony.
Time is so rushed, it is impossible not to have any clues.
By the way, how did he forget about it?
Gorando had a flash of inspiration and hurried to the place where he and Gustav often fought.
It was a clearing between the two convents, with nothing but a few cedar trees, and it was rarely visited by the clergy, so it was chosen by Gustav as a place to meet him.
As far as the eye could see, the whole clearing was unobstructed, and the mushroom-like cedar trees stood quietly, and there was no zài to hide, and Golando had some guesses in his heart, and went straight to the back of a cedar tree on the field.
Some years of the tree trunks were scorched by the magic of the battle, and one of the narrow pits stood out, a flattened hole that was black enough to hide something a little smaller.
- Bless him for something.
Golando reached into the hollow of the tree.
His fingers touched a hard object as soon as he reached the gap, and when he touched it down, he grasped a slender cylinder smoothly, and Gorando's heart sounded with the music of victory.
It didn't take him much effort to pull out a staff, and the sunlight penetrated through the leaves and cast spots of light on the staff's staff, adding a lot to its unremarkable appearance.
This is the "memorial" that Gustav left him? It doesn't look much different from his standard campus model.
Golando brushed the dirt and dust off the staff in confusion, changing several gestures to hold the staff. The staff is very lightweight, and it feels top-notch to use, but I don't know how fast it responds to spells and conducts them.
The wind blew the floating sand at his feet, bringing a hint of coolness, and Golando was stunned, and looked up at the sky, where the sky in the distance was already dyed with the twilight of the morning glow. He's got to go.
Golando hung his staff on the lock around his waist and dragged his suitcase in the direction of the Holy See gates.
……
In Matilda late at night, a light the size of a soybean flickered in the small window on the top of Alfonsta.
The light comes from the iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling, which is the only source of light in the room, but it is clearly not very dedicated.
However, by the sporadic firelight, you can still tell that this is a beautifully decorated bedroom, and the materials used in the furniture and bedspreads are very valuable, but unfortunately the cold of the room is like drinking snow. In Yuleni, where the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the average temperature in this room certainly seems out of place.
Lowering the temperature of this room is the ice magic array drawn on the four walls and floor, they operate day and night, the supply of magic stones is never stopped, and it takes so much effort to finally exchange the room for a biting low temperature, thanks to maintaining this low temperature, the person living in this room can continue his fragile life at the moment.
"There will never be a second time, and I will do my best to prevent that tragedy from happening......"
The boy's weak voice echoed through the cold space.
"You have such an awareness, I think the eldest prince will be very happy to know it." Said another person in the room.
"You must have worked very hard to eliminate the backlash for me every step of the day, so go back and rest early today." The teenager said politely.
The other person did not refuse, and immediately stood up.
"Good night, Holy Son."
After saying goodbye, he used his magic to blow out the chandelier on the ceiling and left.
The footsteps gradually disappeared, and the boy who had been left in the room finally relaxed his nerves, he gave up his stubbornness, gasped and hugged his shoulders, and then exhaled a painful breath of white air, and the gas condensed into a mist and dissipated in an instant.
The young man's whole body was hot, and he was delirious a few days ago, and his state has only stabilized recently, but the high temperature has not faded. Every moment he had the delusion that he was going to die, and every time he miraculously survived, it wasn't for this experience that he didn't know that his life could be so tenacious.
“…… Golando. The boy said a longing name hopelessly, and immediately closed his lips again.
The other party will definitely wait for him, he can't lose his will so quickly.
All in all, live first.
