Volume 2: Empire Chapter 209 Return to the Imperial Capital
The prison of the Abyss Temple was filled with the pungent stench of excrement. There were too many Abyss Mages imprisoned inside, and more than ten people were crammed into a small prison. Some Abyss Mages had become Abyssalized, and the arrival of Luke and Egbert made them behave very violently.
There were sounds of wailing, cries for help, and gibberish everywhere.
As he walked along, Luke saw large areas of uncleaned blood, as well as pieces of flesh and limbs.
This shows that there are simply not enough people to deal with all this dirty stuff.
And there were even fewer guards in the prison than expected.
After the external and internal friction, the Abyss Temple has reached the point where its fuel is exhausted. It is estimated that the Abyss Apostles realized that if they continue to fight among themselves, the temple will only be destroyed by itself.
Rather than everyone perishing together, it would be better to completely tear each other apart and have a decisive battle.
Only the final winner will have the opportunity to rebuild the Temple of the Abyss on the ruins.
Visiting the prison made Luke feel the weakness of the Abyss Temple, and a decisive battle between the apostles was imminent.
Luke found the wizard, curled up in a felt blanket in the innermost corner of the cell. There was a crack in the wall that allowed him to communicate with the man with the sore face outside through the scorpion centipede.
Luke didn't know whether the wizard had received the news that the rescue was about to be implemented. He didn't stay in front of the wizard's prison for too long, just glanced at him and walked to the next cell...
The Holy Mountain has entered its most important moment. Major events are about to erupt one after another and will have a profound impact on the entire Tedega Hills.
In the Empire's Saint Lun City, an airship painted with the World Tree landed on the airship landing platform high above the palace.
The hatch opened, the stairs were lowered, and a team of armored Moonlight Knights walked down.
Finally, Moonlight Queen Qingkong walked out of the airship.
On the landing platform, Princess Agatha of the Empire led a team of royal knights to welcome the arrival of the Queen.
The royal knights saluted together: "Your Majesty, welcome back to Saint Lun City."
Qingkong nodded in response to Agatha who saluted him: "No need to flatter me so much, just call me Qingkong. Your Majesty, do you have time now?"
Agatha ordered her followers to receive the Moonlight Knights, and then took Qingkong along the stairs into the palace.
Without any extra people, Agatha was much more friendly to Qingkong: “Her Royal Highness knew that Miss Qingkong was about to arrive, so she put aside all other things. She is waiting for you.
The angels' arrival this time really caught us off guard. We don't know what they want to do now."
As they walked, Qingkong asked, "What did the angels do to build the church in Saint Lun City?"
Agatha replied: "All the angels who descended are in Silver Manor. They have not left Silver Manor until today. Moreover, they do not employ any servants, so the Secret Intelligence Agency has no way to place spies there.
Her Majesty the Queen and I both believe that there must be something in Saint Lun City that attracted the angels here, and they used such extreme means to achieve their goal of entering Saint Lun City."
"How is the Empire going to respond?"
"There is no good solution. We can only endure this invasion and actively integrate resources to prepare for possible conflicts with Sky City in the future. Fortunately, we can still claim that the angel's arrival this time is an agreement between the Empire and Sky City, so as not to cause a big chaos.
The Empire cannot afford internal chaos now.
Archangel Gold is in the Moonlight Court. Does he have any explanation for the sudden arrival of the angels in Saint Lun City?"
Qingkong and Agatha walked into the corridor leading to the Queen's study, and the palace guards on duty saluted them one by one.
"This matter has nothing to do with Archangel Gold, but he also did not give any explanation for the angel's arrival in Saint Lun City. Now he should have returned to Sky City, and I guess he can't help much."
At this time, the two came to the door of the Queen's study. Agatha stopped and asked quietly: "Where is the meteorite?"
The door opened from the inside, and Clear Sky answered Agatha, "He is in the Holy Mountain of Tedega Hill."
When Agatha heard that the meteorite was actually on the Holy Mountain, she immediately caught up with the person who had entered the study.
Clear sky. After the door closed automatically, she opened the restriction in the study and asked nervously, "Why did he go to the Holy Mountain! That is the lair of the Duke of Celtic and the Temple of the Abyss! He, he, he doesn't want to die?"
The study is spacious and bright, and various precious decorations and furnishings make it look magnificent.
Queen Christina sat behind her desk, preparing the agenda for the upcoming royal meeting.
After hearing the conversation between Agatha and Qingkong, she raised her head and asked nervously, "Is the meteorite really in the Holy Mountain?"
Qingkong sat down on a chair by the French window. Outside, downstairs, was a garden with blooming spring flowers, new branches and tender leaves, which was very pleasing to the eye.
"Yes, he is in the Holy Mountain now. Things over there are coming to an end and he will be back soon."
Queen Christina and Agatha came over and sat down. The three of them gathered around a crystal tea table. A teapot and three teacups flew over and poured three cups of hot tea for them.
Agatha asked, "What is he doing in the Holy Mountain? He is going to such a dangerous place. Shouldn't you also protect him in the Holy Mountain?"
Agatha's concern for Luke was evident in her words, and Queen Christina also looked at the clear sky, waiting for an answer.
The teacup flew into Qingkong's hands, and she said, "The meteorites don't need too much protection now, but the angels that descended on Saint Lun City need to know that this is not a place where they can act recklessly.
Don't worry, Meteorite is very safe now. He is now a priest of the Abyss Temple, a candidate for the Abyss Apostle... and will soon become a hero of the Tedegar people and a guest of the Celtic Duke. "
After saying that, Qingkong slowly sipped his tea.
The expressions of Agatha and Queen Christina changed from worry to surprise, and then to matter-of-factness.
This is the meteorite they know.
However, he had only been in Tedega Hills for a few days when he became a priest of the Temple of the Abyss, was about to become a hero of the human race in Tedega Hills, and a guest of honor of the Celtic Duke.
This is too unbelievable.
If he were allowed to stay in the Holy Mountain for a few more days, would the Barbarian Legion surrender directly to the Empire?
Queen Christina asked: "How did he do it? Can the barbarian rebellion in the Tedega Hills be solved in one fell swoop?"
Qingkong replied: "I don't know exactly how they did it. But the situation inside the Tedejia Hills is very complicated and cannot be completely resolved by simple strategies and military actions.
Solving the problem of the barbarians needs to be done step by step, and the Northern Legion must be dealt with first.
You should discuss these matters after Meteorite comes back.
I came back this time just to deal with these descending angels."
Agatha asked, "How are you going to deal with them?"
Qingkong closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was more spirit in her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Of course it's a fight!"
