Chapter 630 Prisoner
"The road to the dragon?" The other three people looked at each other.
This is an unexpected verdict.
In addition to the bloodline of existing dragon descendants in the Holy Wing Islands, there is also a way to be promoted to a dragon - or in other words, it is also the source of the earliest growth of the dragon descendants.
That is the Denglong Tower located on the western outskirts of Hilla City.
Its history is even older than that of the royal capital. It is rumored that the builder of this tower was the sun god Hera. It only allows those with demons to enter. After going through some challenges, those with demons have the opportunity to gain the ability to transform into dragons and become new dragonborn. However, the consequences of failure in the challenge range from death, serious injury to insanity. In addition, more and more demon-loving people are joining the mage tower. In the past ten years, almost no one is interested in climbing the Dragon Tower.
Mayne nodded slightly, "Although there has never been a precedent for a dragonborn to enter the Dragon Climbing Tower again, the dragonborn is essentially a demon holder and will not be rejected by the tower. In a moral sense, transforming into a dragon has the potential to regain a new life. It means that Taksis is willing to make a cut with her past self. In terms of punishment, this tower may be life-threatening for ordinary demon possessors, but it is much less for Yongyi, who is already a dragonborn. . Even if her magic ability is sealed, her body's strength is still there. She may suffer a lot, but there won't be any fatal damage. What do you think?"
"Sounds like there's nothing wrong with it." Bolton said, stroking his hands before the other two people could speak. "As expected of Ms. Mayne, who is in charge of the collection, she was able to come up with such a compromise. Climbing the dragon is the most important thing to the world. It is both a challenge and an honor. Such a verdict should not frustrate Taksis too much.”
Seeing what the Archbishop said, Sedaro and Alek no longer expressed any objection.
After all, Taksis is a presiding judge who has experienced hundreds of battles. Both her personal ability and combat experience are far superior to those of ordinary Qi sensers. Taking the journey to the dragon once is indeed a good training everywhere.
The most important thing is that this challenge has a very high status among non-dragon believers. If Taksis can successfully complete it, the controversy about her will probably subside a lot.
"Since everyone has no objections, it's settled." Bolton said, "But as Alec said, letting the God of Hera come to Shira is the top priority right now. I hope everyone will do a good job. get ready."
"Don't worry," Sedaro nodded. "The Judgment Team will temporarily clear out all the Mage Tower members in the capital to ensure that they cannot secretly cause trouble on the day of the ceremony."
"I have collected all the magic materials here." Alec calmly continued, "The new Mystery Lock Technique is enough to turn half of the upper city into a divine presence."
"Very good, then the plan remains unchanged. We will officially hold the Advent Ceremony in a week." The Archbishop said word by word.
…
On the other side, Xia Fan finally had a general understanding of Princess Muye's situation after listening to Feleyton.
This matter actually has to start with the political system of the Holy Wing Islands.
After the rise of the Church of Hera, it gradually squeezed the power space of the royal family. The new king needed to be recognized by the Pope. Until the arrival of the god a hundred years ago, the reputation of the church reached its peak, thus promoting the orthogonal unity. The church manages the affairs of the islands, including the command of the army.
As of today, there is no official king of the Holy Wing Islands, or the lord of Sheila is the past king. For example, the current Grand Duke of Silver Scales is a bloodline passed down from the royal family. He is very close to the church and is also in charge of some affairs of the Kingdom of the Islands. Even his team has inherited the royal family's practices, such as the ministers and the royal family. The Prime Minister is complete, second only to the Pope in status.
But because they were so far away from the king after all, the Yinlin family did not live in the palace. The forbidden area of the palace that was once located in the northern suburbs of Shila is now... still a forbidden area, but it has been transformed into a luxurious prison by the church. Imprison some special people.
These "prisoners" are either of distinguished status or have extraordinary abilities. They belong to a category that cannot be treated casually, but it is necessary to ensure that they will not disappear suddenly. For example, the marshal of Oceania who is worth ten thousand gold, the illegitimate son of the royal family of Shazhou, etc... For some people, the church does not even want them to have the negative emotions of being imprisoned. Not only are they served by attendants on weekdays, and the food and wine are never interrupted, but also You can go out and hang out regularly, which is definitely a generous treatment.
In other words, none of the people imprisoned here are real criminals.
Princess Muye is one of them.
"You even know that there is an illegitimate child of the royal family?" Li shook his ears.
"I said that all this information was obtained with money and blood." Felayton showed a wry smile. "These words you have heard can cause an uproar if you reveal just one or two sentences. In fact, most people I had no idea that the palace prison existed, because from the outside it looked as vibrant and royal as ever.”
"The church also knows how to save resources." Xia Fan joked, "So Princess Muye is now worshiped by the church?"
"How is it possible?" Felayton shook his head. "With my master's innate strength, as long as she has the opportunity to leave the palace area, no one can stop her. In fact, she is imprisoned in the deepest part of the palace and is subject to Due to the restriction of bloodline magic, you can’t leave the palace for a day.”
"This restriction was set by the ethnic group that also possesses original blood?" Li guessed.
"Yes, it works on the same principle as the Zodiac Key. Only the highest-level vampires can unlock it." Feleton's tone became a little solemn. "In fact, the person who set this ban is the current emperor of Natantine - Talus Frost."
"The king of Natantine came to Hera, but the church didn't kill him on the spot?"
"He was not the king at that time." Feleton also said with a little regret, "And Talus came here on the opportunity of signing the armistice agreement, which was considered a formal diplomatic visit. At that time, he was accompanied by the huge Natantine Tranquility Fleet and a large group of high-level vampires. I guess the Hera Church didn't want to turn the capital into a wasteland."
"So the role played by Princess Muye is actually a hostage of the armistice agreement?" Xia Fan suddenly felt that this emperor was quite resourceful. Secretly imprisoning his sister in the capital of the archipelago not only greatly improved the credibility of the agreement, but also eliminated the threat of competitors, allowing him to free up his hands to attack the World Island in a big way, taking a solid step towards the expansion of the empire. It was a three-pronged plan.
"This is a naked murder, and it was done while deceiving all the citizens of Natatin!" Felayton said bitterly, "Most people still don't know that their beloved Princess has now become a prisoner of the flying lizards!"
