Chapter 760: Uninvited
Sting narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "Details of the scene? What do you mean? β
Denisha frowned and said, "When I arrived at Dawn Peak, Lorna was already covered in bruises, and there were no other helpers by her side. However, it is very strange that I saw a very large scorched mark at the scene, and even saw that the mountain peak thousands of meters away was fused by some kind of force, which obviously could not be the power that Lorna in the third sequence should have, nor was it very similar to the power that the remnants of the Six Kings could control. β
"And when Lorna woke up in the hospital room, she suddenly told me that she was talking on a blood oath date, and that there was a voice talking to her, and I asked her what she was talking about, and she became very silent again, and she wouldn't say anything."
"Do you know anything about these strange things?"
Sting sat silently in place, surrounded by only the sound of wind and snow whistling, and he didn't know how long it took, he laughed: "Lorna, this is a hallucination, maybe it hurts her head?" β
"Sting." Denisha looked at him deeply, "You look at me. β
Sting and Denisha looked at each other, their eyes unwavering and emotionless.
Denisha: "Sura used to be my best friend, and she's always been a warm, positive person. But as far back as I can remember, one day after Sura pulled out the Blood Oath, she suddenly became very reserved and silent, and she was no longer willing to communicate with me about many things, always avoiding me, consciously or unconsciously. β
"After that, there was a fire for 500 years...... You know what I'm talking about. β
"What do you know about the Blood Oath? What secrets does it hide? β
Sting said lightly: "I am a follower of the bloodline, I don't need to swear a blood oath, how do I know what secrets are buried on it?" β
Denisha looked at Sting suspiciously, but she didn't ask any further, after all, what he said was the truth, only the Queen's Blood Dragon Knight could use the Blood Oath, which was a well-known thing.
Dinisha looked at the snow-shrouded courtyard in front of her, as if she was looking at Lorna, who was eating with the children in the kitchen, and said silently, "Whether you really don't know, or you are deliberately hiding it, I just hope that Lorna will not repeat the mistakes of Sulla." β
...
On the 30th of the snow return, the last day of the 514th year of the Huoyao calendar, this is the day of the New Year's feast held in the royal palace, and it is also Solandale's birthday, after today, Solandel will be 15 years old, and there is only one year left before the age of 16 to adulthood.
Today's royal palace is as lively as in previous years, and the nobles who have been invited have come from all over the world to celebrate Solandale's birthday.
However, unlike previous years, this year's New Year's Feast was attended not only by nobles from all walks of life, but also by a group that had not been seen beforeβthe Crimson Church.
The Crimson Church, led by the archbishop, also came to the feast this year, and it is worth mentioning that they were not on the royal family's invitation list, they were completely uninvited, and because of the delicate relationship between the kingdom and the church, Perseus did not prohibit them from entering.
The archbishop's image was as simple as ever, without any ornaments, and in this cold winter, he was dressed only in a rough red linen robe, and his feet in straw sandals were covered with frostbite, like a devout ascetic.
Solandale was at the door of the temple at this time, and when she saw the archbishop, she said politely, "Welcome." β
The archbishop smiled, the knife-like wrinkles on his face deepened, he nodded to Solandelle, and then stretched out his thin hand: "It's your birthday, and it's a shame that I don't have any personal wealth and can't get a suitable gift." I heard that you asked Sting for a kiss on your 12th birthday, so I'll follow Sting's example and give you a kiss. β
As he spoke, the archbishop prepared to take Solandale's hand and kiss the back of her hand.
However, before the archbishop could touch Solandale, an exclamation suddenly came from beside him: "Oh! My feet slipped! Be careful! β
I saw Lugo's body swaying, the soles of his feet slipping like butter, and he staggered over to collide with the archbishop, and the wine in his hand was also splashed on him.
The entourage hurriedly held the archbishop and glared at Lugo with ugly expressions.
Lugo also knocked his head and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, this snowy world is too slippery, come on, come, I'll help you clean it." β
After Lugo finished speaking, he lifted his clothes to wipe the wine stains on the archbishop's face, and the action was like rubbing a dog, and he rubbed off several more strands of his already small hair.
This made the atmosphere very embarrassing, and the imperial guard beside Perseus asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to take down this impudent person?" β
Perseus looked at Lugo, smiled briefly, didn't say anything, but silently moved his gaze to the man walking behind him.
"Lugo, be careful next time." A smile came from behind Lugo, who was in time to get out of the way and stood there smiling and shaking.
Chino slowly walked up to the archbishop and graciously clasped his hands on his chest: "My subordinates are reckless and offend you. β
The archbishop showed no anger, and still had that simple smile on his face: "You have a very obedient subordinate. β
This answer is not the right one, but it shows that the archbishop has insight into everything.
Just when the atmosphere became a little stiff, Pertheus's voice came: "Your Excellency, take your people to their seats, I have prepared good wine and food for you." β
The archbishop ignored Chino and led the man to Percius, and said slowly: "Thank you very much for the generosity of Your Majesty, but I am so accustomed to bread and water that my stomach is no longer accustomed to good food and wine, so I should leave it to the other distinguished guests." β
The archbishop, supported by his entourage, walked up to the high platform, bowed to Percius, and asked, "I have not come to the banquet this time, but I have a message to inform you, I wonder if Your Majesty will allow me to declare it in public?" β
Pertheus didn't know what medicine was sold in the archbishop's gourd, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his chin and motioned for him to continue.
The archbishop stepped to the stage, looked at the crowd below, and said in a loud voice: "We have all had a very difficult time since the beast plague swept through the whole of Dorguland since the year 486 of the Pyogon calendar. β
"I have witnessed countless people being separated from their wives and families due to the animal plague, or being isolated in the epidemic area by cold iron nets, unable to hug each other's families."
"Despite the efforts of the Crimson Church to develop technology to keep the price of blood therapy down, there are still many poor people who cannot afford it, and my heart tingles every time I see them being locked up in a dark epidemic area."
"Gone are those days, though!" The archbishop raised his thin arm, his figure was obviously so thin, but in the light of the surrounding candles, a huge shadow cast a huge shadow on the hall, "After our sect's day and night study, we have found a new blood treatment plan!" β
