Tenaric stepped forward and hugged Fang Plover heavily.
Then it backed away and nodded to Sylvester.
In the past, this brave warrior would not show off to others. He did this to recognize Sylvester's status as a friend. But more importantly, it was for Fang Plover's sake.
Sylvide only smiled slightly and returned the favor with a smile.
"Tenaric, what are you?" Fang Plover looked the lizard prince up and down. If he hadn't remembered the other person's appearance, he would have hardly recognized him. Just by looking at the figure behind him,
The followers, as well as this gorgeous robe, are almost completely different from the brave warrior underground in Fenris.
But Tenaric shook its head, as if it didn't want to talk about this topic. It replied: "After leaving Fenris, I completed the trial and brought back the news of Toragothos' betrayal. Returned to Gudatho
After defeat, I took over the position from my father and became the leader of the White Skull clan, able to lead everyone to continue to pursue the path of the saints... But in comparison, I still miss the days of adventure with you more, those days in Fenris
The memory of being underground lingers in my mind all the time."
Fang Yu responded, "Have you been recognized by the stars and priests and become the king of the clan?"
Teneric nodded.
"Then congratulations," Fang Yu said sincerely, "you got what you wanted. When you went to Fenris to participate in the Dragon Blood Clan, the priests of Ka-Cuilan, and the trial of Toragothos, you
In order to legitimately inherit the position of the Chosen One of the Saints?"
The lizard people worship the stars, the saints of the sun and the sea of light, and are the descendants of the dragon. They once had an experience as servants of the snake people, but after the era of the Black Throne, the snake people experienced the Rebellion of the Seven Emperors and declined.
The lizard people established their empire in the jungle.
with their times.
That was the Year of the Saints, about the same era as the birth of the Numerin Elf Empire. From that era, the lizard people called the highest among them the Chosen of the Saints, who were descendants of the most holy Etar.
The person who came to this world and led the lizard empires forward.
However, the Saurian empires have long been lost in history, and now the Saurians of Gudasok are divided into hundreds of clans, large and small. However, they still inherit this title and call the leader of the clan the Chosen One of the Saints.
.
It's just that he is also the person chosen by the saints.
The saints of the Saurians refer to the sun gods of the Xinthus era, the son-gods born from Ita. The belief spread in Etalia today was founded by the sun god Orli who was resurrected from the Black Throne.
They are called the Orin Protoss by the world.
There was a period of hatred between lizard people and humans for this reason, but those times are long gone now.
What the lizard people said about the saints leaving and then returning was referring to the birth of Orin from the Black Throne. But what is strange is that most lizard people today do not recognize the Orin Protoss as the Sun Sect of Sinsas.
God's successor.
The history during this period has long been too long to be examined by anyone.
Tenarik said: "After returning to Gudasok, I have been asking for news about you all the time. But the sea of clouds is too vast. My respected human brothers, it always takes too long for news to be transmitted from one continent to the other side of the sea of clouds.
.It took me a long time to get the follow-up on the Fenris incident, confirming your safe return from the underground."
"You should call me Ed."
Fang Yu looked at the lizard prince. He had not changed much in the past two years, but he was no longer as sharp as he was in Fenris. He seemed much calmer. This was probably a change brought about by status and power. It was no longer just
He is the brave warrior and the leader of a clan.
"Actually, I've heard that a lizard-man envoy arrived in Bavalan earlier, but I didn't expect it to be you," Fang Plover asked curiously, "Behind you is the Dragon Blood Clan of Gudasok, right? So, right?
You are not here on behalf of the troglodytes of the White Skull clan, but on behalf of the Great Council of Gudasok?"
Although the lizard people of Gudasok have been divided for a long time, there is still one highest institution in the jungle that can represent all lizard people, and that is the Great Council controlled by the upper-level lizard people priests.
The fact that Tenaric was able to represent the Great Council on an mission to the Empire shows that his identity in the Whiteskull clan may be far more than just a lizard prince. It seems that the pilgrimage in Fenris was very important to Tenaric.
Significance.
Those who can be recognized by the Great Council are also qualified to be the electors of Gudasok. Of course, the supreme emperor of the ancient jungle country has long become a myth, a nominal title, but the seven electors of Gudasok
The Hou is still the most powerful person after the Grand Council.
Generally speaking, it is obtained by the seven most powerful clan leaders. In Fang Plover's memory, the White Skull clan is not well-known in Gudasok, nor is it the most powerful clan. Tenarik can now reach this point.
The location, it seems, is inseparable from the Trials of Tolagothos.
No wonder the Dragon Blood Sacrifice of Asuka and the Sacrifice of Ka-Cuilan all gathered in that place.
It's just that this was an internal matter among the lizard people. Although he was chosen by Guanghai, he still couldn't know the inside story at that time.
Tenaric clicked on the picture, "You are right, I am here on behalf of the Great Council. The Sea of Light has changed, and I must retrieve the sacred objects belonging to my clan from the Silver Tower and bring them back to Gudasuo
In the jungle of Gram."
Has Gwanghae changed?
Fang Yu was slightly startled. He still remembered that when he was in Fenris, the Tada priest of Ka-Cuilan told him that the blessing on him would last until the moment when the sea of light was extinguished.
The shining sea mentioned by the lizard people does not completely refer to the ocean of ether, but the place where stars exist. Fang Plov suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a similar saying from the tall shadow man at the other end, the sea of light.
Unrest, they return.
What happened to Gwanghae? It actually caused the Great Council to send an envoy to the empire. This is a rare thing in that jungle.
He suddenly reacted. Only then did he understand why the imperial soldiers had blocked this place. The Great Council represented the nominal ruler of Gudasok, so the standard of Teneric's envoy was obviously much higher than he had imagined.
.
Teneric noticed the gaze of his human friend, and looked in the direction of the square, and said: "This is the mayor's own decision. I am Ta-Hess, not the weak Tojin. I don't need it at all.
Such precautions.”
Fang Plover shook his head. His old friend, the lizard man, obviously didn't understand human society. The mayor of Bavaria couldn't bear the responsibility of letting something happen to an elector from Gudasok.
He was still a little curious as to why the lizard clan's sacred objects were in the Empire's Silver Tower. However, Fang Plover looked at the Asuka lizard clan behind Tenerik and realized that this question might not be asked now.
The best time.
Teneric continued: "But this time I came not only for the holy objects, but also for you, my brother."
"I?"
"You are also the dragon's choice," Tenaric replied, "don't forget that you still have the blessing of the dark saints. But about this matter, I will tell you the whole story later. I came from the human world.
I came to this place specifically after I found out that you would participate in this competition in the empire."
Fang Yu reacted, "So before...?"
Tenerik nodded again, "Of course I watched every one of your games. Originally, I planned to wait until after the game to come to you."
Fang Plover was greatly embarrassed and asked quickly: "Then you haven't read the nonsense in the imperial tabloids, have you? Teneric, what is said above is probably not true..."
Teneric gave him a strange look. "I don't watch anything from the Empire, and I have no interest in mortal games. Lizardmen don't need alchemy. I watch the games just because you are participating in the games. My
Brothers of mankind.”
…
The tabloid of the Empire that Fang Yu was talking about was actually being held in a big hand at the moment. The tall man in a trench coat was lowering his head and looking at the photo captured by the photo crystal on the front page of the newspaper.
That happened almost more than a month ago. The date of the newspaper clearly stated March 17. On the lead-gray page, Fang Plover, wearing an alchemy coat, lowered his head and frowned.
Face with a surprised look.
The title attached to it is ‘Super level performance, which surprised even Ed player himself——’.
"Got you."
The tall man in a trench coat murmured, folded the newspaper, and threw it into the trash can nearby. He raised his head and saw that the train was roaring past the truss bridge above, and the light of the spiffer lamp shone on the steel beams.
Shuttle between them, piercing the night.
It casts a patchwork of flashing light and shadow in the alley.
The man in the trench coat stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the 'Gears and Magic Books' not far away. The tall building was shining with warm orange light from the windows. He took out a communication card from his pocket.
Crystal comes.
"It's him."
"Where are they?" A voice came from the crystal.
"I found their destination, but they are not currently in Ayinbrok."
"That's not important. They can't take the things away," the voice said through gritted teeth. "Go and search and see if you can find some clues."
"Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
"Don't worry about this, finding Ash Lynn's manuscript is the key!"
"Then you send some people over, preferably official people. I can use them."
"snort."
The man in the trench coat put away the crystal.
In the lobby of the hotel.
The owner of 'Gears and Magic Books', Pushe was wearing reading glasses and immersed himself in sorting out the accounts for the day.
The old man was holding a pen and scribbling in the account book. Today's accounts were recorded by Laila. The little girl who lived in the attic often helped as much as she could, and was better than the few apprentices he originally found.
It is much more reliable, which makes the old businessman feel very happy.
But at this time, he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from outside. The old man couldn't help but lift his glasses with his hands, and looked in that direction with some surprise, and happened to see the hotel door being pushed open with a bang.
Come.
Outside the door, a group of patrolling guards wearing silver helmets swarmed in, following a man in a trench coat.
Seeing these people, Pushe's heart skipped a beat. Why did these patrol team guards come to the old city? It's obviously been less than three months since the last inspection, and there's still a long time before the next routine inspection, right?
?
Something happened? Or is there something illegal in his store that was reported? He thought about it carefully and found out that 'Gear and Magic Book' has been operating well in the past six months, with no tax arrears and no suspicious payments.
of guests.
It was calm in the hotel, and nothing major happened.
While he was thinking about it, the man in the trench coat came to him with several guards. "Mr. Pusher, right?" the man looked at him and said in a cold tone, "We have received reliable information that there is a suspect.
I may have stayed in your hotel, I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."
"Who are you?"
The old businessman was fairly well-informed. He could recognize the identities of the guards. He knew they were from the patrol team when he saw the dark gray woolen coats on them. But he could not tell the origin of the man in front of him. He looked at
More like the Chosen One.
He looked at the other man's collar, but there was no mark on the man's coat that could identify him. He was neither an alchemist nor the guild emblem that is common among the electors. If Pushe had not been to many places when he was young, he had seen
Many people really may not be able to tell the identity of their chosen one.
How can a selector mix with the guards of the patrol team and still seem to be the leader of the other party?
He was confused, but he still didn't answer the other party's question immediately, but asked like this.
But the man didn't answer his question, he just took out a brooch, put it on the counter, pushed it in front of him with his hand, and looked down at him.
Pushe pushed up his reading glasses, and then he saw the emblem on the brooch clearly, and couldn't help but gasped - it was from the Cunning Owl family.
Of course he had heard of the famous magician family, and even had an entanglement with it when he was young. But how could the gears and magic books get into trouble with such a group of people? On one side were the famous aristocratic families in the empire, and on the other
It's just a little-known little hotel located in the old town of Ayinbrok.
When he was young, he had a relationship with the Linn family, but with the death of Ash-Lynn, the Linn family ended, and he no longer had any contact with the Hart Principality. Even the people of the Cunning Owl family had no contact with that family.
No matter what disputes there are, they should not be found in the gears and magic books, right?
Is it for Laila?
Pusher thought of the little girl from the Lynn family who lived in the attic, and his heart tightened subconsciously. While he dealt with the guards in front of him obediently, he quietly gestured to Matri, who was not far behind him.
Matri happened not to be taking care of the boiler today, so he naturally noticed the movement in the hall. He had been with Pushe's master and servant for many years, so when he saw the old businessman's gesture, he naturally understood it. When no one was paying attention, he turned around and walked towards the hotel.
.
The man in the trench coat glanced in this direction, as if he had seen Matri's actions, but he didn't care.
He stood at the front desk and listened patiently as Pushe explained to himself: "My lord, Gears and Magic Books have always abided by the law and never accepted suspicious guests from outside. We also have people issued by the Empire here.
The wanted list has been checked one by one with the above to ensure that the identity of every guest is clear."
Pusher said as he went to get a thick booklet on the front desk. But the man in the trench coat stopped him, "No need, Mr. Pusher, we believe you. But this suspect is not on the empire's wanted list.
He just offended some people."
Offended that cunning lord of the empire.
These people don't even spare a little girl like Laila.
Pushe was secretly disgusted in his heart. He did not expect that after so many years, those people still did not give up the persecution of the Lin En family. No wonder the Lin En family kept their names anonymous.
However, the old man did not show his emotions on his face at all. Instead, he asked submissively: "Well, sir, can you describe to me what this suspect looks like? Maybe I can help recall whether the other person is there."
In the hotel.”
"No need," the man in the trench coat replied, "We are going to search this place, we just want to give you a warning."
"But," Pushe hesitated, "the other guests..."
"Presumably the other guests won't have any objections," the man in the trench coat interrupted, finally getting a little impatient, "Mr. Pusher, you should know that we don't actually need to ask for your consent."
"I see."
The old businessman knew that he was unable to resist these people. Behind them was not only the patrol team, but also the cunning owl from the empire. He could only watch helplessly as the man waved his hand, and the guards behind him rushed in and rushed towards the brigade.
Inside the store.
But the other person didn't seem to be in a hurry. He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around at the surrounding environment. He took out his pocket watch again, popped open the cover, looked at the time on it, and then put it away again.
Pushe said nothing, silently listening to the sounds of chickens and dogs jumping from the hotel behind him, the cry of children, and the scolding of guards. However, what this man said was not wrong. The people who live in this place are...
How could there be a background that the Cunning Owl family cannot afford to offend?
Most guests don't even dare to show their presence in front of the patrol guards. How can a truly wealthy and distinguished person settle down in the old city?
While the two were silent, suddenly a sound of things collapsing came from upstairs, mixed with the screams of girls.
When Pushe heard that voice, he couldn't help being shocked. He clearly recognized that it was Laila's voice, but didn't he ask Matri to inform the girl to avoid it? What on earth did that guy Matri do?
He was worried in his heart and couldn't help but look at the man in the trench coat in front of him. But the man didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him. Pushe quickly apologized and then hurriedly left the front desk and headed upstairs.
When the man saw him leaving, he looked around again before following him upstairs.
The two of them came to the corridor on the third floor one after another. Pushe saw Laila kneeling on the ground from a distance, her face was purple, she was holding her face in her hands, shivering.
The girl looked at everyone with a pale face and was crying, while Matri, furious, stood between her and a group of guards.
However, the guards did not trouble the two of them anymore, and instead guarded the entrance from the third floor to the attic above.
"What's going on?" Before Pushe could speak, the man in the trench coat behind him spoke first.
The guard looked at the two of them and replied: "There is something in the attic above."
The man in the trench coat looked at Laila who was lying on the ground. "What is this?" He asked Pushe.
The old businessman glanced at Laila with concern.
Seeing that although the other party was very frightened, he was not seriously injured, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly explained: "She is just a poor student who came to Ayinbrok to study. Because she didn't have much money, I let her live in the attic. She is now a student of the Demon Academy and has lived here for a long time.
Yes, he is probably not the person you are looking for."
The man in the trench coat was noncommittal and just sneered, "You do know how to do business."
He looked at his guards and asked, "What did you find in the attic?"
"This is it, sir." The guards presented a box.
The man in the trench coat took it and opened it, and took out a compass-like thing from it. It was a very delicate thing, and there were all kinds of gears and clockwork devices under the glass cover.
He raised the object, squinted at it, and asked Laila: "Is this yours?"
Laila's face was pale and she looked a little panicked. She looked at them blankly, "That's my father's thing. Please...please give it back to me..."
The man in the trench coat turned the compass around, saw the emblem on it, and then asked Pushe on the side: "Do you know this emblem?"
Pushe's heart trembled.
He naturally recognized it, it was the emblem of the Lin En family.
But the man in the trench coat sneered disdainfully and threw the thing back like a piece of shit.
The compass fell to the ground, rolled around in a circle, and rolled back to Laila.
"It's a trick to fool people." The man in the trench coat looked at Laila, "I heard that you are now a student of the Magic Academy. I advise you to abandon these unrealistic things as soon as possible. The Lin family's magic...
Relying on this thing? Haha, ridiculous..."
Laila didn't dare to look at him, but silently trembled as she picked up the compass and held it tightly in her arms.
The man in the trench coat saw her like this and said nothing.
He whispered to the guard for a few words, and the guard shook his head repeatedly. The man in the trench coat also frowned, and then whispered: "Take the person away, and then close the team."
He turned around, looked at Pushe, and warned:
"Don't tell anyone what happened today."
Pusher was shocked: "Sir, Laila, she..."
"Her name is Laila?" the man in the trench coat asked, "Very good, she is the person we are looking for."
At this time, Pushe had already seen that the other party was not here for any suspects, but he wanted to refute, but was unable to stop him.
The old man could only watch helplessly as the guards dragged away Matri, who was still resisting. Then they roughly lifted Laila up from left to right. During the struggle, the little girl's glasses fell to the ground.
She panicked and quickly stretched out her hand to grab it.
But the guard accidentally stepped on it and broke it into pieces.
"No, my glasses-!"
Laila exclaimed, her voice full of panic.
Pushe couldn't bear to look at it, so he could only look away.
The man in the trench coat looked at him, then waved with satisfaction and led a group of guards to carry the trembling girl downstairs.
