Chapter 568 The True Form of the Goddess
"I think the first thing to do now is to stabilize the situation in the empire." Ryan said, looking at the powerful empires around him, his eyes passing over Elder Ivan, Reginald, Lambert and others.
"I suggest that the imperial guardians quickly form teams of varying numbers and go to the major provinces. There is only one requirement, which is to quickly defeat the cult activities."
Ryan's words made many imperial guardians present nod their heads.
"My Lord Iron Throne, we are confident that we can solve most of the problems by forming a team, but if the gods descend to incarnate, except for His Majesty the Vokmas who can arrive, we are afraid that..." At this time, an imperial guardian frowned and said.
"Don't worry, most of the evil gods have fallen and incarnated again when they were in the floating city. Unless they don't want to revive as soon as possible, otherwise, they will not easily descend to incarnate in a short period of time."
Ryan waved his hand and said.
"Hiss~" Hearing this news, all the imperial guardians opened their eyes slightly and looked at Ryan in surprise.
They didn't expect to hear such news.
Naturally, no one doubted the authenticity of this news. After all, this was said by the first full moon wizard in a thousand years.
Moreover, everyone knew that it was highly likely that the Iron Throne in front of them was responsible for the fall of the incarnations of the gods.
The originally solemn atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed!
"Great, if that's the case, I think it will be no problem to quickly stabilize the situation in the empire." Walkermas laughed.
"By the way, what about the imperial capital?" Elder Ivan suddenly thought of it.
Ryan looked at the Cologne Cathedral with deep eyes and said, "I will be stationed in the imperial capital."
"In addition, if you really encounter the incarnation of the gods, you can send a message as soon as possible. As long as the province is not very far from the imperial capital, I will arrive quickly."
Although his attack just now was considered to have frightened the evil demon clone, so that it dared not expand recklessly.
But after the other party digested and absorbed this wave, it will inevitably seek to infect more lives again.
What he can do now is, on the one hand, to keep applying eye drops to the evil demon to make it recover as slowly as possible, and on the other hand, to see if he can find the whereabouts of the second time key from the data.
"Okay! Lord Iron Throne, Your Highness Menia, what are we waiting for? Let's act quickly." Sword Saint Lambert said with a smile.
"Yes!"
"It's time to act."
The imperial guardians agreed.
For most of them, fighting with the evil demon is quite frustrating!
Because when facing the evil demon, if the strength is only a line lower, they will worry about being infected after being injured, and thus be timid. The advantage of the imperial guardians in numbers cannot be transformed into an advantage in the situation, but facing the cult, it is completely different.
For three consecutive days.
'Red Queen' Menia did not have much chance to rest, and kept arranging a series of important matters for the empire.
Since the evil spirit shrank, the area where the evil demon entrenched was approximately a semicircular area with a diameter of several miles centered on the Cologne Cathedral.
Compared to the entire imperial capital of Tamriel, this area is neither big nor small, but it just covers most of the inner ring and the palace, and touches part of the second ring area.
The small nobles and wealthy businessmen outside the third ring were not damaged to a high degree, and the outer trade area and the people's houses in the fourth and fifth rings were almost undamaged.
However, even so, the panicked people in the imperial capital did not dare to live in their own homes. Many left the imperial capital for other provinces, but most civilians stayed.
Because the people saw that the imperial high-level officials headed by the "Red Queen" did not evacuate the imperial capital, and more importantly, they heard that the empire had given birth to a demigod!
This greatly increased the confidence of the people.
Fortunately, there are large manors and fields on the outskirts of the imperial capital, which were originally used to supply the imperial capital. Food, shelter and other supplies can accommodate most of the people.
The imperial guardians, as early as three days ago, completed the team according to the meeting arrangement and went to various provinces to support and eliminate the evil cult to restore the situation. At present, the progress is smooth and the situation in the empire is gradually recovering.
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, Rose Manor.
The Rose Manor, which originally belonged to the Royal Family of Dragun, has now become a temporary residence for Ryan and his family.
For Ryan, who has the ability of "shadow shuttle", as long as the distance is not too far, there is no big problem. Going to the camp or going to Cologne Cathedral to suppress the evil demon is all within an instant.
In the study on the second floor of the manor, Ryan was quickly flipping through the box of information he got from Cologne Cathedral.
After flipping through these materials intermittently over the past few days, Ryan has basically finished reading them.
Many of the records are not deliberately vague, but the recorder himself is not clear about the whereabouts of the artifact, and the information left behind is often various speculations and investigations.
In other words, Ryan needs to find the clues he needs in a large amount of unrelated information.
".After defeating the evil demon and a group of evil gods, the goddess began to go to various places to seal various powerful beasts."
"After that, it seems that no one has seen the goddess fighting with the artifact again."
Ryan closed a brown-covered diary and thought.
"Unlike the way the goblin princess Amora used the secondary key, the goddess did not use the secondary key to imprison the evil spirit clone, so where would she put the secondary key?"
After summarizing the scattered records, Ryan vaguely grasped something.
"Wait, why is it sealed? Instead of killing?"
"Logically speaking, the strength of these behemoths is far inferior to that of the goddess Matilda. They can even defeat evil spirits and evil gods. Why seal them?"
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Ryan's mind, tearing through the fog.
"If it were me, unless I was not strong enough to kill these giant beasts, otherwise, there would be no need to choose to seal them with the help of a group of powerful believers."
"Not strong enough?"
"Then it is very likely that she was injured?"
"Yes, that should be the case! Although it is not necessarily injured, it is certain that she cannot exert her full strength."
"So, the secondary key of the Key of Time is used to suppress the injury?"
Ryan's eyes became brighter.
In other words, the second secondary key is likely to be next to the sleeping goddess.
"Even. The one who sealed the giant beasts in various places is not the goddess herself, but her incarnation. This can perfectly explain all the unreasonable things."
"At least, this is a possibility."
Ryan stood up suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly.
"In other words, the key time node is the period after the goddess's battle with the evil demons and evil gods and before the start of the sealing journey. Where did the goddess Matilda go?"
Ryan quickly came to the silver box and turned out many ancient books, ancient diaries and old parchment scrolls. These are all materials recording the relevant time nodes.
"After the war of gods ended, the goddess took pity on the world and first found the three-headed sea dragon on the coast of Mayest County." Ryan held an old parchment scroll and read softly.
After a while, Ryan's figure flashed and disappeared in the study.
When he appeared again, he was already in the air far away from the imperial capital. He determined the direction again, and Ryan's figure flashed for the second time and arrived at the seaside of Mayest County.
Since absorbing the fifth fragment of the godhead, Ryan's mental power has further increased, and the maximum shuttle distance has become longer.
The distance that originally required a high-speed airship to travel for at least half a day was reached directly in just two "swishes".
Looking at the familiar coast in front of him, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The two passages that originally led to the underground were now guarded by only a few imperial soldiers. Obviously, since the last time the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon broke the seal and fought with Menia, the importance of this place has been greatly reduced.
The next moment, Ryan came to the familiar underground hall.
There was no one in the huge bronze forbidden door, but the remaining breath of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon was still there and did not dissipate so quickly.
After Ryan looked around, he turned around and locked his eyes on the underground hall covered with light blue stone slabs.
I saw a surge of mental power, with him as the center, probing towards the bottom of the hall.
"If it is really as I guessed, it should be not far from here, or even..."
"It may be down there!"
The powerful mental power of the Full Moon Wizard level rushed down like a drill!
Fifty meters underground.
One hundred meters,
two hundred meters.
"Huh? No. Did I guess wrong?" Ryan frowned and thought to himself.
Three hundred meters.
"Found it!" Ryan's face was happy!
The next second, his figure disappeared again and came to a deeper underground.
A tall and slender figure appeared in a secret room that no one had visited for tens of thousands of years.
The first thing that caught Ryan's eyes was a rectangular stone platform in the center of the secret room, four huge night-shining pearls, and a striking female body on the stone platform.
Although the other party was wearing a cockscomb-shaped helmet and a light blue ancient battle armor, and her face could not be seen clearly, the towering bulge on the breastplate and the unique skirt at the bottom of the battle armor all showed that the other party was a woman.
However, what attracted Ryan's attention more was the secondary key of the Key of Time held in her hands.
The upper end was a hollow ring, and the lower end was vertical like a sword. It was exactly the same as the secondary key he got from the goblin princess Amora.
In addition, Ryan also keenly noticed that at the bottom of the secondary key ring, the shiny gravel like fine sand was not much left, about only one-tenth.
"Huh? This is!"
As Ryan approached further, the scene in front of him shocked him.
Under the protection of the faint halo, through the gap of the skirt of the goddess's armor, you can actually see the wisps of evil spirit.
"Is this... infected by evil spirit?"
Ryan was shocked, but after repeated inspections, he was sure that if the person in front of him was the true body of Matilda, the goddess of monsoon and ocean, then she should have been infected by the evil spirit before she fell asleep.
"Even with the power of the true god, it is impossible to drive away the infection of the evil spirit?"
Ryan frowned, and couldn't help but become more and more afraid of the evil spirit.
Goddess Matilda was a true god ten thousand years ago. Logically speaking, this is an existence higher than his current full moon wizard level.
"But fortunately, because of the secondary key of the key of time, the erosion of the evil spirit has not been completely completed."
Ryan could see that at the seam of the neck of the ancient armor, the skin of the neck of the goddess Matilda was white and shiny, very normal, without any abnormality of being infected by the evil spirit.
In other words, the other party should have only been infected by the evil spirit on part of her body.
"I see. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."
"That's why the goddess will use the gentler method of sealing to deal with those giant beasts later."
"At that time, the divine body and the Key of Time were used to fight the infection of evil spirits, so it is likely that only projection or at most incarnation can be used to respond to the requests of believers."
Ryan thought about it for a while and basically figured out the general context of the matter.
This is basically consistent with his previous speculation.
Of course, many major events have occurred during the ten thousand years, such as the kingdom melee, the establishment of the Dragun Empire, etc. Ryan is still not very clear, but these are not the main threads, at least, this is not related to the secondary key of the Key of Time.
"According to the goblin princess Amora, two secondary keys can find out the whereabouts of the real artifact Key of Time."
"However, the secondary key currently in the goddess's hand is related to the other party's suppression of the evil spirit, so it must not be taken away." Ryan focused his eyes on the secondary key in the hands of the goddess Matilda and thought.
He is not a person who will do anything to achieve his goal.
"What if I put the secondary key on the other party's secondary key? Can I achieve the same effect?" Ryan suddenly thought of a way.
At the same time.
In the suburbs of the imperial capital, in the Rose Manor.
"Look up in the sky, sister Lagre, over there." Sister Mint pointed to the sky and shouted to Lagre beside her.
Lagre, who was talking to Ryan's mother Emma, heard Mint's exclamation and looked up.
"Is this a floating city?" The next second, Lagre's beautiful eyes widened and exclaimed.
And everyone in the manor also looked up at the wonders in the sky in the distance!
In the distance, a huge, flat hemisphere was seen, slowly approaching the imperial capital Tamriel under the tow of dozens of huge airships. There
was also a black dragon comparable to a large airship on the side, as if it was guarding.
This amazing momentum naturally caused a commotion among the people and nobles of the imperial capital below.
At the temporary camp where the Red Queen Menia was, the Imperial Guardians led two teams of griffin knights to greet the huge fleet of airships in the sky.
In the floating city,
on the negative fourth floor,
a group of metal wizards were busy under the unified command of Hiram, like diligent worker bees coming in and out.
"Your Majesty Hiram, regarding the power of the floating city, are you sure that Lord Ryan of the Iron Throne has a way to solve it?" The plump and beautiful Councillor Trena asked Hiram, who was directing the repair work.
She was the head of the Federation delegation on this visit.
Originally, she would not have set off
to the Empire like this. The Federation's previous plan was to arrange airships in advance to transport a batch of food and supplies, and it had never thought of transporting the floating city to the Empire.
This is because Hiram, the dean of the Federal Mechanical Research Institute, insisted that the repair work must be completed with the help of the Iron Throne in order to be successful and complete, and to make the floating city form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
In addition, the Federal Parliament learned that the temporarily sealed evil demons could break the seal at any time, and only Lord Ryan of the Iron Throne could suppress the evil demons.
So, after repeated discussions, the Federation agreed to Hiram's suggestion.
"Of course, Senator Trena, Lord Ryan mentioned this to me before." Hiram nodded affirmatively and said.
"In addition, the floating city needs a lot of rare metals. Our Federation's reserves are insufficient, and the Empire's Cyrodiil Plateau has always had rich mineral reserves."
"The current situation requires the two countries to work together to make the floating city form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
