Sword of Daybreaker

After Hetty and Baldwin left, there were only Gavin and the Duchess of Victoria in the study-Amber was actually there at the beginning, but she disappeared the next second after Gavin announced that the matter was over. She should have rushed to the nearest bar nearby. If she didn’t step on the mousetrap on the road, now she is 80% holding a beer and starting to pause.

Victoria returned to Kovin's desk, his eyes seemed a little curious: "Do you have anything else to order?"

"Did you forget what I mentioned to you before?" Gao Wen smiled, got up and opened a small cabinet beside the desk, and took out a sturdy and exquisite wooden box from it. He handed the wooden box to Victoria. At the same time, the buckle on the lid was opened, "The thing is back to the original owner."

Victoria immediately guessed the contents of the box. She took a light breath and opened the lid solemnly. A thick book with a mottled cover and a yellowish paper roll was lying quietly on the velvet backing. .

The ink on this book is already dry, but at the moment when the lid is opened, Victoria still feels that she smells a breath of ink vaguely-that may be her illusion, or it may be that the book repairer is repairing this The smell of the potion used in this ancient book. There seemed to be some fluctuations on her frozen, expressionless face, and a complex look mixed with emotion and joy in her ice-like eyes.

"This is... the travel book that our family has lost for a long time..." she whispered as if to herself.

"This is the repaired Travels of Modile," Gao Wen nodded. "It was originally put together by a crappy editor, and it was put together with other scraps, but it has been restored. There are only those precious notes left by Modil Wilde."

At this point, he paused and added a sentence: "But this travelogue still has something missing-after all, it was something six hundred years ago, and there may be more than one holder in the middle, and some chapters have been lost. Now, I suspect that there is at least a quarter of the space, and this part of the content is unlikely to be found again. I hope you can understand this."

"It's very rare, Your Majesty," Victoria said immediately, with a trace of excitement in his eyes, "This book has been lost for a long time, and I haven't even thought it will be found in my generation-this is for our family It is of great significance. Your Majesty, the Wild family will always remember your kindness!"

"Then I will accept your gratitude," Gao Wen smiled, and then he turned around. "But while returning this book to you, I still have some things to say-also about this travelogue. ."

"About this travelogue?" Victoria was a little curious, and she noticed the seriousness in the other person's eyes. She immediately took it seriously. "Of course, please."

"Some of the content in this book should not be made public," Gao Wen said, and pointed to the travel notes in Victoria's hands. "You can see a bookmark in it-open the corresponding position. Since then, 27 The content of the page is the undisclosed part. It contains a special adventure by Modil Wilder, an... adventure near the kingdom of the dragon."

"Dragon Kingdom?!" Rao Yiwei was always calm, and at this time could not help but exclaim a little, "You mean Talund?!"

"Yes, Tallond, exactly where I plan to go this time," Gao Wen nodded. "Of course, my trip to Tallond and Modil Wilde’s six hundred years ago Adventure is not connected."

Victoria nodded, then couldn't help but ask: "Why can't this part of the adventure record be made public?"

"Modier came into contact with some secrets of the northern waters during the adventure. Those secrets are taboo, and they are also quite dangerous not only for the dragons, but also for humans. I have discussed this with representatives sent by the dragons," Gao The article explained patiently, "You should also judge the specific content after you have read it. In short, I have reached an agreement with the dragon family and promised that the corresponding chapter in the travel will not be disseminated to the masses. Of course, you are Descendants of Modil Wilde, so you have the right to know and the right to inherit the knowledge left by Modil."

"Inherit, but don't spread it to the outside world, do you?" Victoria is very smart. She has realized from Gao Wen's solemn attitude that her ancestors left behind that year may not be as simple as a strange adventure record. The legendary hero in front of him is cautiously regarded as a "dangerous taboo", which is definitely worthy of everyone's careful treatment, so she did not feel that it was inappropriate for Gao Wen and the Dragons to reach an agreement in advance on "Modier's Travels", but rather very Nodded seriously, "Please rest assured, I will keep your warning in mind."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded slightly. "This time I went to Tallonde. Although this is only due to the invitation of the Dragon God, I will also try to investigate if Modil had contacted me if I had the opportunity. If the survey is rewarding, I will tell you when I come back."

"Thank you very much," Victoria lowered her head, and said with a very sincere attitude, "But you still have to pay attention to your safety-if it is really a huge hazard to humans, we would rather not touch its secrets."

Gao Wen yelled that he would judge for himself. At this time, he did not explain to Victoria in detail about the concept of the sailor, the giant tower in the north, the anti-tide chaos in the ancient times, etc., because he was not very sure about these things, and he hurriedly thrown out the unverified information to the other To cause greater confusion, as for himself... He went to Tallon this time to solve these confusions.

...

In the newly expanded cathedral of Cecil City (the headquarters of the New Holy Light Church), the simple-style main hall has not yet opened.

Several large pillars support the large circular prayer hall. The high dome of the prayer hall is inlaid with the emblem of the Holy Light made of magic crystal lamps, and the rows of neat and clean benches are light and warm. It is slowly surging, and a small, light-cast figure is flying rapidly between these benches and pillars, looking elated.

Veronica, who holds the platinum scepter, is standing in front of the sermon at the front of the hall, her head closed slightly, her head hanging down, and she seems to be praying silently.

Wright, who was very tall, was standing on the sermon in front of her. The great priest was wearing a plain everyday white robe, his eyes were gentle and quiet, and a faint ray of light slowly walked beside him, and behind him. , The place where the icon of the deity was originally placed in the old church period, there was only one lens like a crystal shadow wall-the sunlight outside the church was refracted through a series of complex crystals, and finally filled into this crystal shadow wall. A faint light illuminates the entire preaching stage.

The New Holy Light Church no longer needs an exact deity to be an idol, and the sunlight that is introduced into the church through the lens represents the new church’s philosophy-sunlight is one of the fairest things in the world, regardless of noble civilians, men and women Old and young, everyone living on this land can accept the sunshine, no one has the right to deprive this right, just like no one can deprive everyone of the Holy Light in their hearts.

"It's rare to see you praying here," Wright lowered his head and looked at the "Princess Saint" in front of him, "and he called me specifically."

In the eyes of outsiders, Veronica is a real "holy and pious person". From the old church period to the new church period, this virgin princess showed an image of belief in piety and embracing the Holy Light. Always praying, always lingering with brilliance, it seems that faith has become a part of her life, but those who know the insider know that all this is just the "personal design" that the ancient disobedient created for himself.

In fact, she should be one of the most unbelieving people in the world. She has never followed the God of Holy Light, and in fact did not embrace the Holy Light very much-the glory that always haunts her is just some kind of Gondor era The technical means of her, and the piety she showed is to evade the soul stamp and the anti-bite of the **** of light-strictly speaking, that is also the technical means.

Therefore, Veronika will not do any prayers when there are no other people and no need-this is only known to a few people such as Wright and Govin.

"I will soon follow His Majesty to Tallond," Veronica ended her prayers and lifted her eyes to the Great Patriarch in front of her. "It's far from here."

"You don't seem to be someone who seeks guidance and comfort for this kind of thing," Wright said slowly. "Is there anything I want to help?"

Veronica looked at Wright quietly for a few seconds, then nodded gently and handed the platinum scepter that never left: "I need you to help me keep it until I return with your majesty."

"...This scepter?" Wright apparently had some surprises and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. "I thought you would take it to Tallond-you can never leave this thing."

"...Talund is too far away," Veronica said. "In the case of being away from the mainland of Loren, my control of the Platinum Scepter will be weakened, although in theory the God of Light will not take the initiative to pay attention. Here, but we must take precautions. After this period of time we have reformed the doctrine and the various dioceses, and the diversion of faith has begun to produce initial results. The "bridge function" between God and man is no longer as dangerous as before, but This scepter is still uncontrollable to ordinary people, only you... can be completely unaffected by the soul seal and hold it safely for a long time."

Will the control of the Platinum Scepter be weakened away from the Loren mainland?

Wright keenly noticed the key in the other party’s words, but he glanced at Veronica, and finally he did not ask-there are many secrets hidden in this ancient disobedience, but no one can help unless she is willing to disclose Let her speak. After all, even if there is only a cooperative relationship between His Majesty and the disobedient, others are less likely to ask the "Her Royal Highness" thoroughly.

The Patriarch shook his head and reached for the scepter.

It was just a slightly warm heavy rod, and Wright didn't feel anything else from above except the full power of the Holy Light.

"Is there anything to pay attention to?" he asked.

Veronica nodded: "You don't have to hold it all the time, but make sure it is always within 100 meters of you, and no one else can touch it during the time you release the scepter-otherwise the bridge 'It will immediately point to the new contact, thus directing the gaze of the Holy Light to the world. In addition, there is an important point..."

Wright looked serious and listened attentively.

"Don't try to use it as a weapon when leading young priests into the mountains for exercise. It is better to prepare a normal warhammer," Veronica said lightly. "After all, this is an ancient thing."

Wright: "... Frankly speaking, this thing is not easy to use as a weapon, a little lighter."

Obviously, both people are discussing this matter very seriously.

Then Wright raised his head, glanced at the sunlight that had sprinkled through the crystal into the church, and said to Veronica: "It's not too late. Today the church is only resting for half a day. I'm going to prepare the afternoon sermon. You have to pray here For a while? It's about half an hour away from opening here."

Veronica bowed her head slightly: "Go ahead, Archbishop, I have to think about something here."

Rai nodded, turned and walked towards the exit of the prayer hall, and waved to the benches opposite the sermon: "Go, Emily!"

A group of human-shaped glances protruded from the bench, responded with joy, and then got into the slightly undulating Holy Light behind Wright, and left the prayer hall with the great priest.

In the large hall, only Veronica stood quietly in front of the sermon.

The "Princess Holy Light" slightly closed her eyes and lowered her head, as if facing a wooden preacher like a devout believer. She didn't know what to think. She didn't raise her head slowly until after ten minutes of silence. Come.

The holy light that had always been floating in those eyes seemed to be dimmer than usual.

At the next moment, she murmured like she was talking to herself in the prayer hall:

"Perform a Type II safety separation process.

"Memory and Personality Database began to perform remote synchronization...

"Prepare to go offline...

"We wish us good luck and look forward to the observation data we brought from Tallonde.

"Personal data has been backed up, and the Ophelia-cruise unit has gone offline."

...

On the third day after the magic goddess "burial of gods", everything was arranged properly.

On the courtyard square on the west side of the Cecil Palace, Melita Penia appeared in front of Gavin.

Since this is not a formal diplomatic activity and there are no arrangements for external publicity, there are very few people who come to see off, in addition to the three magistrates and the necessary guards at the scene, only a few government officials come to the square Senior officials of the Office.

"I thought a lot of people would come," Melita looked at Gao Wen in front of her, and there was a smile on her face. "It's not like an honour for the emperor."

"The honour is for outsiders-this time there is no need for the outsiders to stand out," Gao Wen said casually, and glanced at Melita who came alone. "Now I am curious how we are going to Tallond. ...You take us there?"

"I am a senior agent who is in full contact with you, and of course I am in charge," Melita smiled slightly. "As for how to get there... of course I flew over."
