Chapter 223 (1/2)
The Sauron Kingdom occupied half of the Roland Continent However, the capital city of the Kingdoined
The imperial palace definitely did not deserve to be called ‘Brilliant Golden Wall’
The Sauron Kingdodom ell known; there were even traces of history in the construction of theof the palace
Beneath the tallest tower that had eighteen floors, was the main part of the palace At the periphery of the palace were about a dozen statues recording the glorious achievedos of birds and beasts Below the carvings were stone tablets packed with details of the brilliant histories of those personages The stone tablets usually stated on a certain date, a certain monarch conquered a certain land or on a certain date, a certain monarch triumphed over a certain enemy army
The main hall was spotless and extremely silent The beautiful murals on the ere lifelike There were also sky-like reliefs on the ceilings Although the floating cloud reliefs were not real, there were peculiar ge it appear colorful Unlike a noruards on strict patrol here
Like the previous kings before hi Sauron had the same belief: unseen poas the most effective deterrent
Having the place heavily guarded would be akin to what a newly rich would do; ais not placed on top of the creases1
The reigning king of the Sauron Kingdom was only thirty years old However, he looked e That a hard for his country every day since he becaer to his monarchical poould undoubtedly be the ubiquitous Roland Te sneered, whispering to hihty? Since I rule this country, then everything should be carried out according to radually reduced as he opened his eyes He turned to look at his ed Senior Prime Minister2
The Senior Prime Minister was his teacher when he was still a crown prince As thetrusted him and showed him more respect Or at the very least, superficially, he was extre at the Senior Pri smiled and said, ”Senior Pri? Does ourwas a smart ruler He knew that he needed to use an amiable approach with his ed Senior Prime Minister’s face rinkled like the skin of dried ly old , he was just someone who could be trusted
”Your Majesty, do not worry Commander Bia has sent the fleet out to welcome them Presumably, the Tee of the current situation The Teainst us Even if they want to act, they would do so secretly We can take advantage of this”
The King casually played with the ring on his finger and slowly said, ”Then, what about the Black Veil Saint? What is her position on these matters?”
The Senior Prime Minister looked wise as he replied, ”That woman seldom appears in public ever since she came back from the South Before the war, she had already lost most of the Temple’s trust As a matter of fact, based onwanted to recall her However, as she is already known to the public as a Saint and had been dispatched here by the Te for an excuse to arise before acting”
The King laughed and said, ”So, should we provide the Temple with an excuse? The Black Veil Saint is very powerful Do we need to worry about this?”
The aged Senior Priaze and said, ”No, I believe a Saint who only appears to be in harmony with the Temple is actually beneficial to us If the Temple were to send us a completely loyal Saint, then ould havenodded, apparently satisfied with the aged Senior Priain, ”Then, what is happening in the Te about? They actually appointed five new Paladins within the last ten days! I suspect he is up to some tricks! Are Paladins noorthless? It was so difficult to even find two to three real hout the entire continent but suddenly so round?”
The King sounded a little angry and a little ireater the strength and the threat of the Temple
The Senior Prith is beyond doubt I have secretly sent people to investigate These five people ere given the title Paladin all have outstanding strength Their backgrounds are also very clean and nothing strange could be found However, I feel like their clean backgrounds are very suspicious”
The King’s eyes lit up ”Do you meanall these Paladins come from”
The Senior Prier and pointed to the north
The King looked at the Senior Priesture and showed a conteh the Franks Kingdoht’s birthplace’, they have not produced a single Paladin for more than a hundred years”
The Senior Prime Minister shook his head and continued to point north
The King frowned, ”Is the Teuton Kingdo the Te is frodo martial experts However, these people could not becoiven to theain His finger was still pointing towards the north
The King’s expression finally changed as he asked, ”Teacher, do you mean…those creatures?”
The Senior Priical explanation! Even if it was the Radiant Continent, it would be ie in such a short tie out of thin air on the Roland Continent The only possibility is that strong race in the north!”
The King sneered and said, ”That old scoundrel of the Temple In order to becoon race Weren’t the Dragon race heathens? Could it be that the Dragons now dared to venture out of their territory?”
The Senior Prihed and softly said, ”Your Majesty, do you still re the ti lowered his head and thought for a hed and said, ”I remember!” He closed his eyes and repeated those words, ”When sorievances with mortal enemies could be solved There are no perion is just a deceit under guise The brighter the place, the darker the hidden corners!” At this juncture, the King opened his eyes and looked at the Senior Priently said, ”So, that old scoundrel of God, for the sake of achieving his highest interests, took this desperate action He even went to the extent of tearing off their hypocritical religious ht?”
The Senior Pri sloalked towards the edge of the hall His palently touched the beautiful ers touched the cold reliefs, hishis lover The King then showed a proud expression ”This is the wealth left behind by doave the Senior Prih You o back now Tell me when there is news about the Radiant Eathered his sleeves and bowed
He slowly stepped back a few steps and then turned around to leave The moment he left the palace hall, the chilly air on his face startled hihtened his hunched body His senile look disappeared and hisharder to control…”
Suddenly, he felt as if he was being watched However, when he turned around to look, he found that the corner was e just an illusion?
