On the Seven Towers

Queen Laura panted and put the sword back into the scabbard. Her hands were shaking because of the force she used. The bloodshot in her eyes had not faded because of the violent power.

Two guards cast healing and mental calming magic on her.

The queen rescued two people, and with Salmeron who escaped herself, she finally rescued the trapped guards one by one. During the whole process, Felix just looked at them, neither launching new attacks nor saying anything.

Salmeron held the sword and said to Felix: "Priest Felix, what do you want to do? Using the so-called test to attack Her Majesty's entourage is really too much. We are here to seek cooperation, not to seek humiliation."

Queen Laura said: "Okay, teacher. I believe this is just a test. Test whether I am suitable as a partner of the Temple of Nature."

"If a person is not strong enough, then this humiliation is his own fault, and he can't blame others. And the strength of a king naturally depends on her subordinates." Felix's words made the queen's guards blush, "But at least from the queen's own response, it's not bad. You know, Priest Fahs has always admired the survival of the fittest in nature. He never helps the truly weak, but only helps the strong who haven't become strong yet."

"Then, can we go to see him?" Queen Laura asked.

Priest Felix pointed at Salmeron and said, "He was the only one who broke free from the vines. No one else is qualified to enter the temple to see the Saint. Now, please follow me."

Behind the huge doorway is a path leading up the mountain. This temple is not a palace, but a small hill. Priest Felix took Laura and Salmeron and walked up slowly. Laura felt that the feeling here was very different from the natural temple in the capital. If the temple in the capital was a carefully built and maintained work of art, then this temple gave people the feeling of a rough and stubborn stone. The mountain under her feet had overly lush plants. Many places on the path were even blocked by branches or covered by grass. There was no trace of human care. Walking here was like walking in a barren mountain.

Following Priest Felix to the top of the mountain, Laura saw a thatched hut with wind on all sides. An old man in a simple priest robe sat cross-legged in the middle of the hut. Priest Felix walked respectfully to the door of the hut and said to the old man inside: "Lord Fahs, Queen Laura is here."

Priest Fahs of the Golden Branch looked up at Queen Laura and Master Salmeron. Laura's eyes met those ordinary eyes, and she felt a pressure transmitted to her heart. She could feel that the pressure was not directed at her, but when you are scrutinized by a giant, you will naturally feel that kind of oppression. They looked at each other for only a second, and Queen Laura suddenly felt that the surrounding scene changed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye she had come to the hut.

The pair of eyes she was looking at from afar suddenly appeared in front of her. At this time, she had a clear understanding that this old man would never allow anything to get out of his control. Once she cooperated with him, the fate of the empire would be inseparable from this person.

Priest Fahs said, "Queen Laura, I asked you to come here because I know you need my help. Now can you tell me what you want?"

"I..." Queen Laura hesitated for a moment, but was ready to tell the truth. The saint in front of her should know everything. Since she was here, it would be meaningless to hide anything. "You should know that the situation in the kingdom is very bad. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a danger of extinction. I hope you can save the kingdom and prevent it from being destroyed by the rebels."

Fahs smiled slightly without comment, and a few wrinkles appeared on his old face. "Then can you tell me what specific results you expect?"

Princess Laura knew very well that what kind of request would have what kind of result. Price, she didn't want to play all the cards in her hand, so she hesitated and said: "I hope you can help me take back the city of Bavaria in the west. With this city as a line of defense, we can stabilize the line of defense against Count Carlos. In the south, we hope to take back the city of Lagos and the land of Duchess Josefina, and then mediate the hostile relationship between us and the Chinese, so that we can fully deal with the attack of the northern empire."

The smile of Saint Fahs deepened his wrinkles, "My queen, as a king, you are still a little timid. If it were just these requirements, you wouldn't have to negotiate with me. As long as you can convince Felix, he can do it."

"What do you mean?" Laura asked carefully.

Fahs said: "Count Carlos and his daughter can be stopped, and even the land lost by those nobles can be taken back, not back to their hands, but back to your hands. As for the empire in the north... your army fought well before. If you get some help from us, I am afraid you will gain a greater advantage. I think you can fight all the way to the South Fortress and turn this fortress into the new dividing line between the Purple Eagle Empire and the Iberian Kingdom.

As for the Chinese Tower, this is indeed the most troublesome thing. They actually had a saint appear in the battle a few days ago. Not only did he beat Morales once in the contest, but he also easily threw the priest Margaret of the Western Temple into the river. And now they have gathered a large number of master-level masters. It is not a good idea to fight against such a force with saints and masters, but we can help you stabilize the defense line and prevent the Chinese Tower from taking advantage of it again. "

"Although I am very grateful for your advice, such help is too great, I am afraid that the kingdom cannot afford it." Queen Laura said.

"No, you can afford this help. My request is very simple. First, I will let you marry my grandson Sherlock, who is a 26-year-old young man who has crossed the threshold of the high level and has a very good future. "Fahs said.

Queen Laura opened her mouth slightly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes, but this emotion was fleeting, and only calmness remained, except that her hand betrayed her. The hand holding the sword was shaking uncontrollably at her side. "I know."

Fahs nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Second, I will provide a place in the Kingdom of Iberia, and a large number of people, as preparations for the arrival of the City of God."
