Chapter 3: Knight Roland
"It turned out to be a special issue, which shocked me, after all, "The Fresh Spring of Raygram" has only been released for a long time." An old bookworm stared at a bookstore poster and muttered to himself. Lane's book is a bestseller, and the novels in this special issue are not long, so they simply carry out a surprise attack, and many fans only find out that there is a special issue to buy a few days later.
"That's it, Banaji has an average of one volume every six months, and it's only been two months." Another book friend chimed in. It is still easy for Semlia's readers to be satisfied, and there are many authors who have 10,000 words a day in their previous lives.
"In addition to the first chapter of the fifth volume, "The Death of Roland", there are also information on the Iron Cavalry and the Nord warriors, introductions to the genres involved, and comments from some celebrities." That's right, this special issue is out according to the routine of the setting set, and Li En was a little surprised when he heard it, how can the only way to circle money on the earth be used here.
"Why do you say so much, buy and buy, the boss will give me a copy." The reader who had just entered the store took out his wallet and walked to the cash register.
"I want a copy too." "Here's a copy." The others reacted instantly and took out their money.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Roland" The tall female knight sighed, her supple blonde hair swaying gently in the wind, and her blue eyes revealed a hint of sadness.
"Sister, what's wrong with you, isn't that damn author scribbling." The long flaxen hair was coiled behind her head, and the girl in a knight costume who looked a little confused was full of concern.
"Sister, I'm obviously sad about my former comrades-in-arms, Du Barry, there is something wrong with your eyes." The other young knight next to her had a different opinion, her hair was blue and her eyes were sharp.
"Ennaia, how dare you talk to the Chief like that." The girl known as Du Barry was about to have a seizure as soon as she stood up as soon as she brushed it.
"I agree with Ennaiya." A calm voice was inserted at the right time, and the red-haired female knight not far away stood upright.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. This book is well written, and it reminds me of those days again. The blonde knight closed the book in her hand and calmly looked at the three puzzled girls in front of her. Since you're interested, let me tell you what I know about Roland. ”
"I didn't meet him directly, because he was dead when I met him." As he spoke, he opened the poster that came with the book, "Although this picture is beautified, it is generally quite realistic, and it is not much like the portrait of Roland himself." ”
"Ask questions." The red-haired girl raised her hand, and after receiving permission, she expressed the doubts in her heart, "How is this Lord Roland's martial arts?" ”
"This still needs to be asked, it must be inferior to our sister." "Because my lord was the hero of the Lion War, Liana Sandlot." ”
"That's in the past, and I'm Arian Heard now." Liana or Arian Hurd shook her head, "I'll answer Ainas first, although I haven't fought before, but among that old subordinate, Roland's martial arts are among the best, even if they are not as good as me, they will not be too far behind." ”
"After all, he was the knight who guarded the elder sister before him, and to deny him was to deny his sister." Ennaia shrugged, no surprise.
"Then let's go on to say that Roland and that one are friends of the horns."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At the same time, there is a similar combination in the meadows of Liana's hometown, the lakeside town of Ragram. Laura is reading, Kuroai, Cindy, and Selia are listening, and those who read are serious, and those who listen are serious.
Roland's back was empty, and his companions had already gone to the kingdom of the goddess first. Opposite him were well-groomed enemy reinforcements.
But he was not afraid, his sword was on his chest, and his original shiny armor was now mottled with blood and tattered.
"I really don't want to die." Roland took a greedy breath of air, mixed with the smell of blood and sweat was not good, but he was very nostalgic.
This was the last charge, there was only one person, and the momentum was especially superior to that of thousands of troops, and the enemy on the opposite side was shocked by his courage and did not meet it at the first time.
Roland, the knight, was slain in battle, standing tall and facing north, where his lord, his best friend, his hope. In this battle, he suffered a total of 37 gunshot wounds, 15 sword wounds, and 8 arrows, and could not find a single intact skin on his body.
Reading this, Laura's voice was a little choked, and the three listeners had long since stopped crying. It's not that they haven't heard Roland's stories, but most of them are deified, which always makes people feel unreal. The reason why "Epic Lion Battle" is so popular is because the people in Lien's pen have joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, advantages and disadvantages.
"It's all Dawn's fault." Kuloai, who couldn't wipe away his tears no matter how he wiped them, complained with a crying voice, why did he make people like this.
"It's just, why do you have to make a good story like this." Selia had to be a little better, at least her voice was normal, so she could speak in a gritted tone.
"Next time Li Enlai comes, he must be good-looking, and he must let him know that we are amazing." Cindy rubbed her eyes, and finally stopped the tears, making them cry that sooner or later the account would have to be recovered.
"Paladin Roland, the guardian knight of the Emperor, a knight completely different from Lord Liana." Laura put down the book and clasped her knees in her hands, unable to calm down for a long time.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Brother Huang, is Lord Roland really like what is written in the book?" In the study room of Balfrem Palace (Imperial Palace of Erebonia), a handsome young man with dazzling blond hair has a confused face.
"Ahra, Cedric, a novel is a novel, it's all fiction, you can't take it seriously." The person who was questioned had not yet answered, and the girl on the side, who looked like a teenager for five or six minutes, but had softer lines, spoke first.
"Mm-hmm, it's Alfen, that's right." The young man standing by the window turned around and changed his words, "However, this book is different from the previous popular novels, it is written according to historical facts through artistic processing, at least the content of the lion battle in the book is basically the same as the record of our Arnoor family. ”
In other words, the Roland depicted in the novel is not far from the real him? Then why can't you see it at all in the history books. Cedric walked to the bookshelf and picked up a thick hardcover book, with the cover printed "The Lion Battle Evidence" in gilt letters, which is a truly professional history book.
"The records in the history books are very brief." Regarding his younger brother's question, the young man patiently explained, "Maybe in another 250 years, the history books will write that I, Olibat, the son of Emperor Yukent III, is dissolute by nature, and pursues love and beauty all his life, commonly known as 'the debauched prince', and the folk nickname is 'the hunter of love'." ”
"Smack." Elfin pulled out a paper fan from behind his back and gave Oliebar the back of his head, "Brother, please restrain a little, okay." ”
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, worthy of my sister, what a sharp blow." Oliebart covered the back of his head with one hand and gave his sister a thumbs up with the other.
"I understand, just like my brother said, I have pursued love and beauty all my life, and I don't know what love and beauty are in this sentence alone." Cedric's seriousness, Olibart and Elfin's casualness, the contrast is huge.
"That's right, so whether the Roland in the novel is close to the truth or not, we just need to remember the spirit contained in it." Olibat looked his brother in the eye, "When something you hold dear is threatened, can you stand up and protect him at all costs?" ”
"I" Cedric was silent, he was only a thirteen-year-old after all, and he couldn't face such a heavy problem.
"You don't need to give me an answer, just ask yourself." Olibat pointed to his heart and didn't say anything more.
"I'd like to find a knight who can protect me." Elphine rested his chin in both hands. Every girl will have a knight in her heart, not to mention that this is a real princess who really has the right to choose a knight.
"In that case, I have a good candidate." At the mention of this, Olybat's eyes lit up, "He was born in the north and was born in the nobility; The others are very interesting and can be compared with me; He has good martial arts, won the Liber Martial Arts Conference this time, and more importantly, he looks good, a little worse than your brother and me. ”
