Chapter 10 The Seal of Flame, The Blade of the Sky (2)
"King Bern will summon them."
Above the magic ladder, a quiet and commanding voice came, allowing Karen to bring the leader of the Tarasha caravan and the escort of the duke to the upper city.
In doubt, Orbi and Roland set foot on the high rock city, which only a few foreign distinguished guests and dwarves allowed to enter.
The magic ladder made using elves' spells is not as high as it looks from the outside. The psychedelic spells obscured the sight, making the road that was originally close to the distance.
Under the surveillance of several guards, Carly led Roland and Obie to the Glory Hall of Uptown, where the king handled government affairs and received foreign guests to change their services.
In the magnificent hall, besides the Duke of Rosal who had come up before, there were several dwarves, all staring at the undead who were allowed to enter the city of Gaoyan for the first time in four thousand years.
"I heard that Ai Ge proposed a duel to you, right? Is it the Dark Clan from the Eastern Continent?" In the middle of the hall, the tall rock dwarf Wang Born with red hair and bearded looked Roland up and down with sharp eyes.
"Yes." Faced with the king's inquiry, Roland answered with ease.
"Your Majesty..." The Prime Minister Conta next to the throne was full of worry. He was about to say something, but King Bourne stopped him with his eyes.
"Originally, the undead were not allowed to enter this city. Since you are a mercenary of Tarasha and the Aige Saint wants you to make a duel, I have to make an exception and allow you to stay.
But... you can't make trouble in my jurisdiction until the five days in Gaoyan City until the duel is over, otherwise don't blame me for not giving Tarasha's face at that time." As he said this, King Bourne turned his gaze to Obi, and the hint was very obvious.
"I will abide by the rules." The head of the E-shou agreed to the request set by the Dwarf King, and Roland expressed his willingness to comply with the rules.
"Okay... Kalian, take them to the exclusive area of Tarasha to rest, don't let the priests in the temple who always like to invade our guests." Waving his hand, King Bourne signaled to the end of the reception. He summoned the chief guard beside him and whispered something. Octavian's eyes, which had an eagle-eyed pupil, had never left Roland. The gaze that followed Roland left also made her care.
After Rosal also retreated with Roland and others, the prime minister asked, "Your Majesty, why do you want the undead to stay in the city? Aige is not an ordinary sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacr
If something happened to the undead in Tarasha…we might end a five-year partnership with Tarasha.”
It was precisely because Tarasha, who was worried that the main source of financial resources that supported the entire kingdom, might have a frustration because of this incident that Conta wanted the king to immediately expel the undead from the city to prevent the situation from deteriorating. Unexpectedly, King Bourne not only did not stop him, but even kept him.
"The Sky Blade is indeed the strongest warrior of the White Elf Clan, and it may also be the strongest warrior in the earthly realm except the Dragon Clan, but this does not mean that he is invincible. The Sword of Death vs. The Blade of Sky... Who broke these two sharp swords in the end... I am more interested in this." Flirting with his beard, the Dwarf King stared at the exquisite murals on the dome to marvel.
"Your Majesty?!" Conta's concerns became even more serious. As early as a few days ago, news came from the Church of Light that General Ming Zhan might seize the ancient seal guarded by Gao Yancheng.
But King Bourne knew that the so-called private guard of the duke who came to seek asylum was the famous general of the Underworld, but he made a decision on his own.
Sky Blade Ai Ge is one of the oldest blood elves in the White Elf clan. He was born in the late stage of the Great Darkness and is also the mentor of the Hero King among the Seven Heroes.
Almost few people in the outside world know this as the Dragon Knight, known as the strongest warrior.
Although General Ming Zhan is also a strong man,... the place he is now in the earthly realm, with the forbiddenness of the gods, it is impossible to exert normal power like in the underworld.
If these two match, no matter who wins or loses, it will inevitably lead to a new round of light and dark disputes.
"Konta... Now is a critical period for decisions. We need to see who has the advantage. Is it the gods in the Star Ghost Realm or the heads of the gods who escaped from the underworld.
This is not only a duel between the Sky Blade and the Sword of Death, but also a competition of the forces they represent. It will also determine the direction we, the Gaoyan Dwarf clan, will eventually follow. Once the wrong choice... is only destruction.
I am the king and shoulder the important task of protecting the entire race. I cannot decide the future of the entire race based on my personal preferences. If the gods who ruled Anesia for thousands of years have no power to fight against the God King, then we can only give up everything we believed in and followed in the past."
"Yes..." Hearing the Prince's heavy sigh, the Prime Minister could only silently agree.
Five days later, it will be the time to determine the fate of the entire High Rock Dwarf.
If possible, he would rather continue to maintain this kind of unidentified relationship.
The dwarves do not protect their own tribes. The dwarves, like elves, originated from ancient giants, are all branches of species originating from ancient times.
Unlike elves, ancient giants had already died as early as the Great Dark period and were embarrassedly sandwiched among all races for thousands of years. It was time to find a god who had been looking for shelter.
If the God King from the Underworld's Counterattack against the gods can seize his own status and power again, then as the first high rock dwarf who followed him, he can also find a strong backing that he can truly rely on.
Otherwise, the Gaoyan dwarves who chose the wrong camp will turn into history like their ancestors and disappear into the long river of time.
******************************************
"Your Excellency, why did that priest ask you for a duel?!" Leaving the Hall of Glory, he glanced at the guard beside him, Obie approached Roland and whispered his doubts.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to duel with others as a priest.
After all, he is the one who serves the gods, and he must put aside all the joys, sorrows, and happiness of ordinary people and abandon the emotions of ordinary people.
Furthermore, as a magician, he should not make a duel with a close fighter no matter what. This is an incomparable duel.
As long as one of them is too strong, it will only end with a victory that suppresses sex.
"He is not a priest. Although he is dressed as a priest, his eyes belong to the warrior." At the moment when his eyes met, Roland already understood.
