Chapter 67 Beskod
The Holy Paradise is very large. It is a city built on a mountain peak. At the top of the mountain is the imperial palace, with a series of buildings below it, and at the outermost edge is the vast suburban forest, which tightly wraps the entire imperial capital. Two large tracks at the front and back divide the forest.
Cook led Xu Yue into the city from the east gate. The imperial city was quiet at night, but under the cold moonlight, one could still see the prosperity of the city through the surrounding scattered houses and flat and wide streets. Different While the buildings in Kedra Town are low and sparse, the buildings in the Imperial Capital are mostly tall and dense.
"That's the palace. The statues on the left and right sides are crowned by the two angels who are said to protect the goddess, the Angel of Glory and the Angel of Holy."
The layout of the entire imperial capital is in the form of a staircase, and the buildings become more luxurious and gorgeous as you go inward, guarding the white pearl at the top like blooming petals.
Xu Yue rode his war horse and walked slowly on the main road paved with marble. Listening to Cook explaining various areas of the imperial capital to him, he looked up in the direction instructed by Cook.
A magnificent white castle building comes into view. The building is majestic and white. At the outermost end of the building, there are two tall angel statues standing on the left and right. The statues wear high crowns and robes, with wings converged behind them and in front of them. Holding a stone scepter as high as the statue.
"This is the inner city of the imperial capital. The nobles and officials of the empire basically live in the inner city. Lord Beskod's residence is also here."
The management of the inner city is obviously much stricter than that of the outer city. After following Cook into the inner city, Xu Yue has already seen several waves of guards patrolling the streets.
When these guards saw Cook leading the way, they all saluted respectfully and then retreated obediently. It can be seen that Cook's status in the imperial capital is not low.
After walking in the inner city for a while, Cook finally took Xu Yue to a stop in front of a rather solemn-looking mansion. Compared with the various buildings around it, the mansion was not luxurious and even looked a little cold. Hard and monotonous, but with a strong military style.
Cook stepped forward to call the door, and then led by an old housekeeper, the two came to a living room. There was no one else in the hall except a man with loose black hair. He had a strong body and deep features, but There is always a vague and gloomy feeling under the long hair.
"Lord Beskod, the goods have been shipped to their destination."
When Cook saw Beskod sitting on the main seat in the hall, he immediately touched his chest and saluted, and reported the situation. Xu Yue did the same thing half a step behind him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Cook. Sit down. We are not in the military in private, so there is no need to be so formal."
After listening to Cook's report, Bescord waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down, and then turned his attention to Xu Yue, who was following Cook. "Who is this?"
Although Beskod had a somewhat gloomy temperament, his attitude during conversation was very gentle and casual. After Cook sat down with Xu Yue aside, he began to introduce Beskod.
"This is the firebrand of the Knights of Radiance. He came to the Holy Heaven via Barna's airship not long ago, along with Geraint and Algerta."
After hearing Geraint's name, Beskod raised his eyebrows slightly, but quickly calmed down. He looked at Xu Yue, who was sitting upright, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Xinhuo, I saw your name in the battle report sent by General Thorne. Under the purple fire dragon, you can burn thousands of armors with one strike, which is amazing."
"The rudimentary means are just suitable for the battlefield. Lord Bescord has oversold you."
After the two sides exchanged polite words, Bescord stopped talking and started talking about business.
"Geraint is an old friend of mine, but he hasn't returned to the imperial capital for many years. Are they here this time about the black dragon's resurrection?"
"Yes, Geraint has noticed that the black dragon has revived recently, so he came to the imperial capital specifically to meet with His Majesty the King to discuss how to deal with the black dragon. And according to his description, the black dragon's strength is now greater than before it fell asleep. We The pressure will only be greater this time.”
After listening to Xu Yue's story, Besked frowned slightly.
"The elves and the temple only knew about it a few days ago. Geraint actually knew about it at the same time, and it is also certain that the black dragon is now more powerful than in the past."
"Oh, it seems that my old friend still hides many secrets. Did Geraint say anything special?"
"Yes, he said he knew the black dragon's weaknesses."
"Oh? What a weakness."
"Black Dragon Baoyu."
Xu Yue calmly spat out four words. This information was not made up by him, but was exactly what he learned from Geraint. It was exchanged to Xu Yue when Geraint asked Xu Yue about the situation of the monsters in Black Mountain. intelligence.
Geraint thought these things were insignificant and had no intention of hiding them, but for Xu Yue, they were the best stepping stone.
"Black Dragon Baoyu..." Besked muttered the Black Dragon Baoyu in a faint tone. "Tell me more specifically."
"According to Geraint, the Black Dragon Jade is the source of the Black Dragon's power, the foundation of its existence, and its greatest weakness."
"The life forms of dragons are very special. Their weakness is not the regular heart or brain, but the jade on the chest. It can even be said that every dragon exists attached to the jade on the chest, and there is no hardness in that place. The protection of scales.”
"As long as we target this weakness during the battle and dig out the jade from the black dragon's chest, the black dragon will collapse."
"By the way, Geraint emphasized that the power of the Black Dragon Jewel is extremely evil. Anyone who attempts to contaminate it will fall into the abyss of darkness and will never recover."
Bescord listened quietly to Xu Yue's words, and did not react until he heard Geraint's final warning.
"Oh, it's this rhetoric again. There is no difference between evil and justice in power. After all, it is just a tool. It can only be decided by people whether it is used for destruction or protection."
"Geraint is still as naive as ever, but how come he understands the black dragon in such detail?"
As Beskod lowered his head in contemplation, the living room gradually became quiet. After telling the information he knew, Xu Yue began to enter a state of looking at his nose and his mind. However, Cook kept talking after Xu Yue spoke. Be quiet.
After a long time, Beskod, who was deep in thought, finally raised his head, breaking the stagnation in the atmosphere.
"This information is very useful. The Fire Knight understands the righteousness and the importance, which is very good."
"Lord Bescord is exaggerating. This is all for the safety of the empire."
After staring into Xu Yue's sincere eyes for a moment, Bescord nodded with a smile and did not continue talking about this topic, but instead started chatting.
"I heard that the Flame Knights suddenly emerged on the battlefield as soon as they arrived at the fortress. After that, they joined the Radiant Knights and were responsible for leading the team to exterminate the monsters in the rear of the empire. The whole process only took a few days. It is really outstanding."
Faced with Beskod's sudden praise, Xu Yue acted extremely humble.
"Mainly because of General Thorne's eclectic approach and the full use of his talents, I am fortunate enough to be valued by Captain Kairos. Moreover, although I have only been a member of the Glow Knights for a few days, Captain Kairos has great trust in me. I will do my best. Try your best and don’t dare to slack off.”
"It seems that the Fire Knights and the Glow Knights have a very close relationship. I originally wanted to recruit more talents to the Guards Knights, but now it seems that the hope is slim."
"Thanks to Lord Beskod for your appreciation, but the Imperial Knights are all headed by the Knights of the Guards. Whether I am in the Knights of Radiance or elsewhere, I am still a member of your command. There is no difference. If you have orders, I will give them." Yes, I should try my best."
