Sword of Daybreaker

The

The magic car is still driving smoothly on the wide street leading to the Obsidian Palace.

The light from the magic crystal street light is passing backward through the window.

The seat is empty and there are no traces left by anyone. The car seems to have only two people from the beginning to the end, a devoted servant responsible for driving, and Empire Duke who is in charge of power.

Pedinan has a deep complexion, his mental strength is diffused, but he does not feel any residual mana fluctuations around him, or even the residue of Life Aura. He looked towards the attendant on the front seat, the latter I don’t know what happened just now, but it seems to feel the master’s gaze after coming to him, so he asks, “Sir, what happened?”

“…No, it’s nothing.” Pedinan Duke said solemnly, while extend the hand touched the side seat-the leather seat was cold and cold, and there was no residual body temperature.

Old Duke’s complexion immediately became more gloomy, his expression revealing his thoughts, and outside the car window, the flashing neon lights and the faint music sound suddenly appeared, briefly attracting Pedinan’s eyes.

The afterglow in the corner of his eyes saw the scene outside the car window. He saw several tall buildings rising out of the left window. The spires of St. Yolem’s War God Church were protruding from above the buildings. , And the right side of the window is where there is Ang Salon-the magic car just passed by the Dragon Sect entrance, and the noise is passing through the window to his ears.

“We just passed where the On Street is?” Pedinan’s pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately looked up and asked the celebrity attendant who was driving in front.

“Yes, sir,” the attendant replied immediately, “We have just passed where there is Ang Sharon-it will be a while before the obsidian palace, do you want to take a break?”

“…” Pedinan was silent for two seconds, then shook his head, “No. Speed ​​up, we will get to the obsidian palace as soon as possible.”

Although the attendant felt a little strange, he did not raise a question, but immediately ordered his life: “Yes, sir.”

The black magic car speeded up on the night streets with few pedestrians. After a while, the silhouette of the obsidian palace finally appeared in Pedinan’s line of sight, and the old Duke’s heart was still haunted by the uneasiness in his mind. The strange and sudden visit of Malm Dunit appeared, and the unfathomable mystery words that the other party said to himself appeared, but when he saw the minaret and the wall of the Obsidian Palace, his slightly uneasy heart gradually calmed down. .

The guards on duty late at night inspected the vehicle and verified the personnel. Pedinan Duke stepped into the palace. Under the leadership of a female court officer, he walked towards Roseta·Augustus’ private meeting room.

“Did Ms. Diana not be on duty tonight?” He looked at the woman officer who was leading the way in front of him and asked casually, “She is usually responsible for this time.”

“She has another job,” replied the woman officer respectfully, “Your Majesty’s orders.”

“en.” Pedinan simply complied and said nothing more.

When he passed the last arch leading to the inner court, he lifts the head and glanced at the already familiar roof and pillars-the classical polygonal pillars supported the corridor leading to the inner court. The beams extending in the direction depict reliefs of heroes, and near the arch, all the beams and sculptures are connected and decorated with gold. The black and red drapes hang down from both sides of the arch, majestic and solemn.

It’s like a kind of giant beast’s throat, mortals may only build their houses like this to symbolize the majestic imperial power.

Pedinan burst out with some unreasonable sighs, and then he took the head and strode across the door.

……

In Roseta Augustus’ private meeting room, the lights are bright, and the slight aroma breathes the spirit of every visitor, and there is a gentle music sound that I don’t know where to start, let people who step into it relax unconsciously .

The talented Empire ruler was sitting on his favorite high back chair. When Pedinan stepped into the room, he was looking down at a thick book, looking like a A piece of concentrated attention completely.

“Your Majesty,” Pedinan stepped forward to salute Roseta, “I’m here.”

“Oh, Pedinan-you came earlier than I expected.” Roseta lifts the head. After seeing Pedinan, he smiled a little. He stood up while holding a page of bookmarks in the big book in his hand, and then Set it aside.

With the front of the book facing up, Pedinan saw the bronzing words in the corners of his eyes: “Society and Machine”-he recognized the book, in fact, he had read many of its contents. Roseta Augustus ordered people to print a batch of copies of this book and gave it to some nobles and officials. As the most trusted representative of Emperor Typhon, Pedinan Duke naturally has this honor.

This book is from Cecil, but Pedinan has to admit that many of the above can be inspiring. He has also been inspired by many concise “principles” that no one has ever thought about. Convinced, but at this moment, when he saw the book placed on the coffee table, he recalled a part of the book in his heart, but felt a period of uneasiness…uneasiness.

But now it’s not time to think deeply about the “Cecil way of thinking” in the book, Pedinan Duke diverted his attention and looked towards Roseta: “Your Majesty, you called me into the palace late at night…”

Roseta·Augustus glanced around, the few attendants and high-ranking female officers in the parlor immediately retreated silently, and when there were only two people left, the Typhon ruler Only to Grandduke Lord nodded, said solemnly: “Malm Dunit was summoned tonight-something about four hours ago.”

Pedinan’s breath suddenly suffocated, he felt his heartbeat suddenly paused for half a beat, all the uneasiness he had accumulated was finally faintly connected, and this short-term change did not hide Roseta’s eyes, the latter immediately cast attention Sight: “Pedinan Qing, your reaction is a bit wrong-what do you know?”

“Your Majesty,” Pedinan took a soft breath, and his expression was very serious. “I saw Malm Dunnett tonight-just on the way to here. But he appeared very strange, the whole process …Full of contradiction.”

“Tell me details at once,” Roseta said immediately, “all details.”

“Yes,” Pedinan nodded, began to talk about his strange experience just now, “It should have happened an hour ago, when I passed the “Salon” in the neighborhood of Fannang. There were no witnesses except me. At that time…”

How much time it took not at all to tell the story, Pedinan tried to restore all the details of his strange experience in a concise narrative, and as his voice fell, Roseta’s brows were tightly wrinkled, expression Became extremely serious.

“That may be an illusion, or some kind of’projection’ that directly affects the mind,” Pedinan said his guess, “regardless of which one, the situation is very serious-the anomaly of War God Church has already Spread to its uppermost layer, if Malm Dunit, who is Pope, becomes the source of mutation, then the response plan we set may be…”

Roseta suddenly interrupted Pedinan’s words: “Did you ever think that this anomaly did not spread to the uppermost layer, but at first originated from the uppermost layer?”

Pedinan’s eyes widened a little, and he quickly fell into contemplation. After a short period of thought, he lifts the head: “Your Majesty, the summon of Malm Dunit… is it true? Are there more details?”

“The news has not been made public. At present, only Great Saint Church and you and I are aware of this. You know, according to tradition, Pope of War God Church should notify the Imperial Family as soon as possible regardless of any cause of death. To ensure the stability of the situation, at this point, the Great Saint Church still fulfilled its responsibilities well this time, but after that there was something wrong,” Roseta said to Pedinan. “After the news of Pope’s death, the Great Saint Church The normal process of sending a representative from the Imperial Family to salute the body was rejected, and no reason was given, and they also closed the communication channel with the obsidian palace.”

“They closed the channel of communication with the obsidian palace?” Pedinan was suddenly shocked, “Then over the Great Saint Church…”

“Diana is trying to investigate and I am waiting for her news,” Roseta said. “And I call you to prepare for a worse situation.”

“More…bad situation?”

“War God’s Priest and ascetic are the most powerful of all clergy, and the most recent changes in the situation have made them too nervous,” Roseta said slowly, “Imperial Family is directly under Knight Corps The Obsidian and the Forbidden Army are ready near the Great Saint Church, the War God Church of St. Yolem, and the War God Church of St. Martin, but we have to make further plans.

“If, as you discussed before, War God’s Priest has the possibility of collective runaway and madness, then they are likely to take more crazy and unpredictable actions than normal humans and face in the urban area. This threat is a challenge. I am afraid that the young Hadi Lun has no experience in facing that complicated situation.

“You are ready, when the situation is necessary, we may need to protect the Knight Knights admission-of course, that is the worst case.”

“The situation may develop to this extent?” Pedinan brows tightly frowns, with a solemn expression, “Knight Guards will only act when Imperial Capital is threatened with destruction in a war situation…”

“If Empire’s largest sect is completely out of control in Oldern, then the situation will not be much better than the attack on Imperial Capital during the war,” Roseta said slowly. “I don’t want things to go that way… but unfortunately, from War God Church appeared strangely until the situation deteriorated, the time was too short, we didn’t have enough time to prepare, and we couldn’t take more drastic action directly against the church until there was solid evidence and a full name…you have to have something Prepare, Pedinan Qing.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Very good, then we will discuss some details…”

……

Silentness and darkness covered the deepest part of the Great Saint Church. On the corridor leading to the inner sanctuary, the candlelights in countless niches had been extinguished. The radiance that once shone to the sanctuary disappeared, leaving only the corridor hanging down A row of candles provides the least amount of light, so that this long corridor will not fall into darkness completely.

According to the sacred books of War God Church, the candlelight in this alcove leading to the internal sanctuary will only be extinguished when the highest person of the church, the gods, is in the world’s spokesperson and is summoned by the master.

They will extinguish for ten days and nights until the new church leader accepts the enlightenment, completes the test, and successfully receives the Pope scepter before being ignited by the “God’s Flame”.

In the dim corridor, the fully armed Holy See Knight stood silently between a pillar and each and everyone’s alcove, and the battle of Priest and high-level Priest guarding the gate stood like sculptures in front of the gate.

It’s early winter, the fog has shrouded Oldern, it is difficult for starlight to penetrate the clouds and fog on the plain, and Imperial Capital under the night is therefore darker, but for the Priest in the Great Saint Church, this Sacred Temple Hall The darkness in it is even worse than the Imperial Capital outside.

A breeze blew through the dim corridor, crossing the sights of the guards of the Holy See.

There is no life response, no leaking mana, and there are almost no perceivable heat fluctuations-the elite Extraordinary guards in the corridors have not sensed that the uninvited guests have crossed the line of defense under their eyes and entered the interior. The deepest prayer room in the sanctuary.

The prayer room of Malm Dunit was empty, with only a dim oil lamp illuminating the center of the room. In the dim rays of light, a black hair black clothed silhouette from the air Emerged.

Diana lifted the hidden effect of the curved light field. While maintaining a precise perception of the surrounding environment, she began to look at this not-so-large room.

As expected, the corpse is no longer there, and most of this time has been completely “purified” by the flame.

No matter what face Pope died in the past, what remains of the twisted horror remains, it must now become a handful of ashes and a ray of smoke.

But this does not mean that clues in the prayer room will not stay.

Diana looked around quietly and pressed her hand to the forehead. With a faint sound of mechanical operation, the skin on her forehead suddenly cracked a gap, and part of the “crane” was pushed back by the deformation device. On, some precise structures that shimmered shimmered out of it, one after another quickly flashing rays began to scan the entire room.

At the same time, the black hair maid’s long eyes also became indifferent and cold, and the photosensitive unit in the depth of his pupil was slightly adjusted, and he began to carefully record all the traces scanned.

Under the detection of scanning rays, large areas of the floor and walls, furnishings, and even the roof of the whole room are full of fluorescence!

“Praying prayers, praying for mercy, and receiving holy will… as you wish.”
