Chapter 503 Intervention 2
With a huge friction sound, the heavy door made of fir wood was slowly pushed open. Two guards stood on the left and right on the door carved with complex and exquisite patterns. In front of the two door panels, the light from the outside shines into the originally dark treasure room, and the floor paved with precious piebald stones is instantly reflected on a road shining with golden light.
A man led four attendants slowly into the treasure room along the golden road.
The man is tall, wearing a gorgeous velvet robe, with long curly brown hair scattered naturally on his back. His eyes are bright and deep, and there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Now he has a look on his face. With a serious expression, he followed the light into the depths of the treasure room very solemnly.
“It’s too dark,” the man waved to the guard following him, “Light some candles.”
The two guards at the end immediately walked to the left and right respectively, and using the residual light from outside the door, they each lit a row of candles that had been placed there.
The entire treasure room suddenly became brighter, revealing its true appearance.
Pieces of precious utensils, boxes of ancient coins, and various weapons and armors that looked like they were made by masters filled a room in Nuo Da, and the walls around the room were also hung with Valuable paintings.
But the man had no interest in picking up any of these priceless treasures. He continued walking along the central axis of the treasure room until he came to the wall at the end.
In front of the wall is a rectangular table about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide. There is something on the table, which is covered tightly with red silk cloth.
The man stretched out his right hand and picked up a corner of the silk cloth and slowly opened it. A frightening cold light burst out. It turned out that under the silk cloth was a golden sword frame, with a simple long sword placed quietly on it.
The man held the hilt of the sword and raised the ancient long sword in front of his eyes.
“My ancestors used this sword to establish the current Principality of Eton.”
The man, or the ruler of the Principality of Eton, Grand Duke Eteote Cabre, said so sincerely Said to himself.
"Now, I will use it again to defend the people of Eaton."
He held the long sword and waved it in front of him, and a stream of light appeared in mid-air.
"Holy Sword-Silonimus, please give us power again."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Your Majesty, has the situation reached such a dangerous point?"
The voice was gentle and gentle, but it contained worry that was difficult to conceal.
Grand Duke Cabret turned around and looked at his beautiful wife, Grand Duchess Helen, who was once known as the famous pearl of Corner Bay.
He frowned and asked: "Helen, why are you here?"
His wife replied: "I know you haven't fallen asleep, so I also I didn’t sleep. I just saw you getting up, so I followed you.”
“Oh!” Cabret sighed, “I’m sorry for making you worry.” In front of him, "What are you talking about? You are my husband. If you are worried, how can I be calm?" Cabret waved his hand to summon the attendant, and inserted the ancient long sword into the sword held by the attendant. in the sheath.
The young Grand Duke said worriedly: "The church's army is approaching Hydra. I estimate that they will appear under the walls of Hydra in less than a week."
Helen asked doubtfully: "Wouldn't our troops be transferred back from the Horn League soon?"
In order not to worry her, her husband always looked confident in front of his wife. , if someone she could trust had not told her the true situation today, and if she had not seen a large number of people fleeing the city for refuge while traveling incognito, she would not have known that the situation had deteriorated to this point.
Oh, man.
Cabret spread his hands helplessly and said: "It will take time for them to come back. Garreth wrote a letter saying that the Corner Bay Alliance refused to let them leave at first and did not provide them with the supplies they needed on their way back. In the end, Garreth had to find a way to raise it on his own." They were able to leave only after receiving a batch of supplies.”
The originally massive protestant coalition against the church and the inland countries was about to be replaced by the “armed excuse” of the northern neutral countries because of their lack of martial ethics. It fell apart.
“Your Majesty!” Helen had tears in her eyes. The anxiety shown by her husband completely letting go of his pretense made her very distressed. “If that doesn’t work, don’t fight with the church. We don’t care about any new or old sects. , Eaton just abide by the neutrality quietly."
"Oh, my dear, you are too naive," Cabre said: "The destruction of Jebu and other neutral countries is just around the corner. Everything can be done to exterminate the [heresies] along the coast as soon as possible.”
Of course, the national power of Eton is not the same as that of small countries such as Jebu, so it is not impossible for Eton to carry out so-called armed neutrality, but the Grand Duke. There are other reasons why neutrality cannot be achieved.
"Taking a step back, even if the church accepts Eaton's neutrality, what will you and Fanny do? The church has long been eyeing you two sisters, and they have already grasped the true situation of Fanny during the incident in Nisburg. . If the condition of the church’s permission for Eaton to be neutral is that I hand over you and Fanny, do you think I can agree to such a condition?”
As spellcasters, Helen and her sister Fanny are a thorn in the church’s side. , the original reason for the outbreak of this war was the huge differences between the church and the coastal countries in terms of hunting wizards. When the differences were not obvious or had just emerged, the church could still take into account the fact that they belonged to the ruling class of a country and chose to tolerate it. However, things have changed now. The church, which has officially started fighting, will never turn a blind eye to a witch with such status and influence.
“Your Majesty.” Helen was so moved by her husband’s words that her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't worry, Helen, as long as I'm here, no one can do anything to you and Fanny."
Cabre patted his chest and once again showed his previous indifference to his wife. The confident look in front of him.
The Grand Duke raised the long sword named "Silonimus" and said: "The power of my ancestors will protect me, and I will use it to kill all enemies who dare to attack."
But he said something unexpected. Said: "However, you have to promise me to take Fanny away from Hydera for a while and go south. I have selected a guard for you. You will wait until Hydera becomes safe..."
< br>"No!" Before the Grand Duke finished speaking, Helen covered her husband's mouth and flatly refused.
"Fanny, you can send her away, but I must stay by your side."
Arch Duke Cabret also urged: "Oh, don't be so impulsive..."< br>
"Don't worry!" Helen looked into her husband's eyes and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible:
"Someone can help us get through this difficulty."
