Chapter 54: Shaina's Trial (2)
"Hey, what is this moonlight sacrifice? I remember Aragorn once said that the supreme symbol of your elven race is the queen." Faras interjected.
"Yes, the supreme ruler of our elven race is the queen, but the queen is only a spiritual symbol, she does not deal with those trivial things. In the clan, if it is a daily matter, it is handled by a few elders, and the military is commanded by the moonlight sacrifice. ”
"Oh, I see. After Shaina's explanation, Faras nodded with understanding and said: "Actually, this is very similar to us humans before, the current Queen Catherine is actually just a symbol of the empire, her status is not the same as the queen of the elves, and my father is in charge of daily affairs, and my brother-in-law's position as the head of the Royal Knights is no different from the moonlight sacrifice of the elves." ”
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" Shayna asked as if she didn't understand, Faras told her a lot of customs, but it didn't involve politics, on the one hand, Faras didn't want the simple Shayna to fall into these things, on the other hand, Faras couldn't boast that the old man named Luke was my father, the general named Orlando was my brother-in-law, and there was an unscrupulous magician Victor, who took herself as a student but didn't teach anything.
You continue. Faras was reluctant to dwell on these things, so she made vague remarks.
"Oh, okay. Shaina nodded and continued: "The elder of our elf clan must be a man, he is actually the manager of the elven clan, and every elder of the elf clan is over 150 years old, and their rich experience will allow them to make the most accurate judgment on affairs. The Moonlight Sacrifice will definitely be performed by a woman, who commands the entire elven army and is responsible for everyone's safety. ”
"Our elves have a lifespan of about 200 years, and when the moonlight sacrificed to Sophia - after leading the army to defeat the army of the undead, Moon Shadow also became a hero of the entire elf clan, and the bow she shot at the evil demon king Arest also became a sacred relic in the clan, and was enshrined in the Temple of the Moon God after her death. ”
"Soul Song?" Ryan interjected, "the legendary longbow that can shoot all evil creatures?"
"Yes. Shaina was surprised that Ryan actually knew these things, nodded slightly, and continued: "But more than a month ago, the Moon Temple was suddenly stolen, and the Song of Soul Suppression was stolen, and one of the guards who guarded the Moon Temple that night was nowhere to be found the next day!"
"Ah!" everyone shouted together, what Shaina said was really beyond everyone's expectations, no one thought that such a thing would happen to the elf clan, could it be that the elves who have always been indifferent to fame and fortune in people's minds would also have this kind of bad behavior?
Although Ryan didn't know what the position of the Moon Temple in the Demon Moon City was in the hearts of the elves, but just by virtue of the soul-suppressing song that enshrined the Moon Shadow in it, it must have the same status as the Basilica of San Nebiro in the imperial capital, because Ryan knew that there was also an offering hall in the backyard of that church, which was also filled with various personal belongings of the previous pope, and the "Praise of Light" full of the blessings of the gods was also placed there before being bound to Red's soul.
"Because of what happened, Her Majesty ordered that the Song of Soul Suppression be brought back intact, but because it was the Luna Temple Guardians who guarded it that stole the artifact, our Moonlight Priest had to send us trainee wind shooters to track it down. ”
Ryan nodded, if it were him, he wouldn't be at ease, as long as he imagined it a little, he could understand that a moon temple that an elf regarded as an important area, how could a guard steal the items inside alone, most likely he still had accomplices, and before he understood the specific situation, he could only send people who were slightly inferior but had nothing to do with that matter.
"That's what you're here for, under the guise of a coming-of-age trial?" Flanna asked Shaina suddenly, and Shaina blurted out, "No, we were supposed to have a coming-of-age trial." If that doesn't happen, we'll each complete our own trials in a few months' time, and then we'll be back in Demon Moon City and ask Her Majesty to give us a name. But now, after getting the news, Aragorn has changed his original plan a little bit, and we are further away from Demon Moon City, and our stay is longer, hoping to find some clues, although that is very unlikely. ”
Shaina said with some distress: "We can't get too close to the human city, and how can we get too much information in this kind of wilderness?" Aragorn asked us to search separately, so I put my mind on the humans passing by, but I found something for more than half a month, although I also saw a few human mercenary groups, but they were more to capture the ...... of Warcraft."
When Shaina said this, her face flushed slightly, and she stopped talking. Ryan understood what she was going to say, so he said, "The past is the past, after these few days of getting along, I think we basically understand your temperament, and there will be no more misunderstandings like that between us." ”
"You're strong, Lane Magician. Shayna bowed her head for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I have a request, I hope you can help us find the song of the soul." ”
"Well, that's a real problem. As soon as Ryan heard Shaina's words, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he went to Mochizuki City to have a mission, although Ryan didn't pay much attention to this task, and because of several things that happened before, Ryan was very disgusted with Luke who gave the task, so they walked slowly along the way, and there was no race against time to complete the task, but this does not mean that Ryan and they have a lot of time to find any soul song.
"It's not that I won't help you, it's really a weapon, as long as you cover it up a little, this continent is so huge, and you don't have any clues, how can we find it?"
"Who said there was no clue?" Farath disagreed with Ryan, and she pointed her finger at it, "Based on Shaina's words, we can draw several important conclusions. First, the Song of the Soul Suppression was stolen for just over a month, with Demon Moon City as the center, how far can it go in more than a month, and the time for concealing the trail must be subtracted, isn't this range roughly determined? Second, what did the person who stole this weapon for? Gain power, or sell it to gain wealth? What is the detailed identity of the missing guard, we can analyze it...... Ryan, why are you hitting me on the head?"
"You, can't you use your brains?" Ryan put on a straight face and lectured Faraz and said, "It's still centered on Demon Moon City, don't you know that the location of Demon Moon City is a secret, it's best not to ask about this kind of thing." What's more, even if you know, for more than a month, that person can walk thousands of miles at will, and find a place to hide in such a large area, how can you find it?"
"Also, analyze the missing guard? You can think of it, you can guarantee that he must be the one who stole it? Could it be someone else who stole it, and then killed him, and diverted your attention? Don't forget, on the night of His Majesty's assassination, they all said that it was the palace maid, what was it called? Oh, by the way, it was called Hannah, and they all said that she met His Majesty Fernando, and then His Majesty was assassinated, and then no one found this maid. But can you guarantee that this maid will do it?"
Faras was speechless, and Ryan was reluctant to say anything more, as it would be easy to implicate Luke in any further detail. Shayna didn't understand what it meant, she just put her eyes on Ryan with a pleading look, hoping that he would help her, and Ryan smiled bitterly and said, "I know that Aragorn is not at ease, alas, who told me that I am not in the habit of abandoning my companions." ”
Shayna looked at Ryan blankly, she didn't understand what Ryan meant by saying this, and Faras reacted immediately, she took Shaina's hand and said excitedly: "Great, great, Ryan promised you." There's something exciting to do this time.,It's good.,I've been in a panic lately.。 ”
"Ahh "Although the rose is beautiful, but it is covered with thorns, use the rose to describe Faraz, then her style of acting is self-evident, I used to look at Faraz gentle and gentle, I am afraid that it is because I have just known myself for a long time, and I have deeply hidden my nature, right?
"Don't be too busy to be happy, I have to say it first. Ryan shook his head helplessly, and said to Shaina: "First of all, we have a task in our bodies, and this matter can't be delayed for too long, so it is very likely that we will complete our own mission first, and then help you find that soul song." Secondly, it's not easy to find this weapon, and I don't predict the magic of the system, so it's impossible to predict its whereabouts, so basically we can just try our luck. ”
As Ryan said this, he saw that Shaina's big bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he added: "If your companion has accurate news, we will naturally assist in our full strength, of course, without affecting the completion of our own mission." ”
Shayna gratefully said to Ryan, "Thank you. ”
Ryan couldn't stand Shaina's gaze, he hurriedly took out Shaina's dress again, lowered his head and studied it, avoiding Shaina's sight, but there was still a faint fragrance from Ryan's hand, this fragrance loomed in the air, so that Ryan couldn't calm down, he was distracted when he studied the magic array for the first time.
