Flora was dumbfounded by the babble and didn't know whose question to answer first.

It was still the little dragon girl Devrola who answered a question: "The ten major guardian knights of the Holy Light Alliance, except for the Holy War Blood Angel Knights, the other nine knights have a certain secular nature. The knights of the Nine Knights, each of them is a nobleman! Of course, most of them were knights of the lowest rank, but there were also big nobles such as viscounts and even earls.

"Since there are secular aristocratic attributes, of course you have to get married. It is also the duty of the nobility to pass on the descendants. Besides, you've heard Flora say that her mother was a former knight who must have retired after marriage.

"As for Flora's grandfather allowing his son to marry a former knight cathar, it must have been out of hiding. After all, his grandfather was a very successful businessman, how could he not deal with the Radiant Holy Sect all this time? And if you want to better disguise your identity when dealing with the Radiant Holy Sect, there is no better way to marry a person from the Holy Sect as a daughter-in-law.

"In this case, the knight of the apologetic with a secular nature is the ideal marriage partner. Also, I think Flora's grandfather, like her great-grandfather, Prince Salma, kept the secret church from everyone. Her grandmother, father, and mother probably didn't know who her grandfather really was, and what he was doing in secret. ”

Xiaolongnu said it reasonably, and Li Qing and the others nodded when they heard it.

Flora glanced at the little dragon girl gratefully and said, "Just like this respected general said, before the family perished, except for my grandfather, everyone in my family did not know my grandfather's identity and real career. Even though my father was the youngest son who was most favored by my grandfather, he didn't know the truth. My mother, of course, didn't know.

"For the sake of secrecy, the Cult of Radiance didn't reveal anything to my mother before launching an attack on my house - after all, she was already a retired former knight cathar, and with me with my father, it was natural for the Cult of Radiance to doubt her piety. And just as the Radiant Cult had predicted, between faith and her daughter, my mother chose me......"

Flora's mother chose her daughter.

With her experience as a knight cathar, her strength, and her understanding of the Radiant Holy Cult's style of acting, Flora's mother, with Flora, who was less than half a year old, escaped from the net with great difficulty.

After that, she didn't dare to stay in the sphere of influence of the Holy Light Alliance, or even in some small countries that the Holy Light Alliance could influence, and only took Flora all the way to the east, to defect to the Eastern Empire, the only one in the world that was not afraid of the Radiant Holy Sect.

"My mother was injured when she took me through. As you flee east, you'll have to deal with the paladins of the Church, the knights, the killers of the Inquisition, and the bounty hunters...... For the former apologetic knights who betrayed the faith, the Radiant Holy Sect will never let go, and the hunt has never stopped.

"Although my mother is strong, her injuries are never healed due to frequent fighting, and new injuries are constantly being added. Sometimes, after escaping a hunt, we had to stay for months or even a year or two in some remote village until my mother recovered from her injuries.

"We walked for ten years, and when I was 10 years old, my mother and I still didn't get there. And when I was eleven years old, my mother's body finally couldn't support it. After years of fighting, new and old wounds that could not heal for many years, finally brought down my mother's body.

"She couldn't afford to be sick and couldn't carry me anymore. Half a year later, she died in her hospital bed. On his deathbed, he told me to forget about the Goddess of Sprouts and not to repeat the path that my great-grandfather and grandfather had taken. She wants me to come to the East, to the Eastern Empire, to start over.

"But ......"

Flora choked up, big tears rolling from the corners of her eyes: "But I'...... I can't obey my mother's instructions, because on the first night of her death, my divine blood was awakened......"

Awaken the Divine Bloodline and automatically inherit the memories of your great-grandfather and grandfather. The qiē they experienced, the qiē they hated, the qiē they fought for, became a part of Flora's memory, lingering.

This heavy burden of memory made Flora, who was less than twelve years old, almost go crazy. It was all thanks to the tenacity of the divine bloodline and the longing for her mother that she survived the pressure of bloodline awakening and memory inheritance.

"Those memories are so clear, too vivid. As soon as I closed my eyes, the images that my great-grandfather had seen would automatically come to my mind, tormenting me to the point of rest. A voice told me that only by fulfilling the will of my great-grandfather, resurrecting the goddess of sprouts, restoring the country, and taking revenge can I be truly liberated. ”

When Flora said this, Susu pouted and said, "What is this blessing?" It's clearly a curse! It must have been the goddess of sprouts, unwilling to fall, and cursed the descendants who flowed in her blood. The curse before the fall of the gods is very powerful, especially the descendants of the gods themselves, who are more susceptible to curses, and even pass them on from generation to generation. ”

Li Qing nodded: "Indeed, this is completely the taste of the curse." The Goddess of Sprouts has cursed her descendants and must resurrect her, or all generations will awaken the divine bloodline, pass on their memories, and be tormented by the heavy burden of memories forever. ”

Xiaolongnu shook her head: "That sprout goddess is too selfish, right?" He actually treats his descendants like this. ”

Su Su sneered: "God is inherently selfish, indifferent and ruthless. How could a God, who had enjoyed a long life and high authority, be willing to fall? But where there is a way, there must be a way to resurrect it. ”

Flora timidly said, "Please, please don't talk about my ancestral god like this. She, she is a great god, and until she is gone, she has been guarding our kingdom of peace and tranquility, though weak, but peaceful......"

"Your ancestral god has done you so badly, and you actually helped her say good things." Su Su pursed his lips disdainfully: "Are all the Divine Bloodline people so idiots?" Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. Tell me, how did you end up here? As a Divine Bloodline, why are you so weak, chased by a few scouts and almost lost your life? ”

Flora said: "When my mother died, although I awakened the divine bloodline, I was only less than twelve years old, and it was impossible for me to cross such a long distance and come to the Eastern Empire alone. So I stayed in the small village where my mother died for another three years, training according to the training methods passed down from memory......"

"Let me interrupt." Li Qingdao: "You said you stayed in a small village for three years? Without her mother's care, how did you, a twelve-year-old girl, survive even if she awakened the Divine Bloodline? ”

"Mother......" Flora pursed her lips, looking unspeakable, but under Li Qing's forced gaze, she still reluctantly spoke: "Mother already noticed that her body couldn't hold up before she fell ill. So she devised an accident that put a young hunter in danger. Then his mother came forward to save him......"

Flora's mother saves the hunter and then makes the hunter fall in love with her.

As a former knight apologetic, an old Jianghu who had fled alone with his daughter for eleven years, how could Flora's mother's methods be resisted by a young village hunter?

What's more, as a fifteenth-level powerhouse, even if she has been on the run for many years, even if her health has deteriorated dramatically, Flora's mother still maintains the beauty and figure of her youth. With a little trickery, the young hunter fell in love with her so much that he couldn't help himself.

And Flora's mother, for Flora's sake, really married the young hunter before she fell ill.

So the young hunter, who was ten years younger than Flora's mother and only nine years older than Flora, became Flora's stepfather.

Hearing this, Li Qing and the others were all moved. Li Qing sighed: "It's really great maternal love." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Su Su didn't say anything strange.

The young stepfather loved her deeply and took care of Flora's mother for half a year after she fell ill. When her mother died, her stepfather continued to raise Flora as if she were his own daughter.

Even though the people in the village ridiculed him for suffering a big loss and being a big fool, he was still determined not to change.

He often said to Flora, "It is the greatest luck of my life to have your mother's favor." It must have been my devotion that touched the heavens, and your mother was the goddess sent by the heavens. To have a goddess as my wife, even if it is only for half a year, I am satisfied.

Now, the goddess has completed her mission to heaven and has returned to heaven. But she left you, my daughter, as a testimony of my love with her.

I am grateful for this qiē, and I am very glad for this qiē. Ridicule from others, it's not a big deal. They're just jealous of my luck.

Hearing this, Scarlett, who was more emotional, had already shed tears. Ni Yuanyuan and Song Qiqi also quietly wiped the corners of their eyes. Chu Lingfeng and Xiaolongnu sighed again and again, and even Su Su, although she thought that the young stepfather was really competent, but at the same time, she felt deep affection for the young stepfather in her heart, and she was not without admiration.

"It was because of my stepfather's care that I was able to live in the village for three years."

With tears in her eyes, Flora continued, "But it wasn't long before tragedy struck again. A team of bounty hunters arrived at the village and unexpectedly recognized me—I had a very similar appearance to my mother, and my appearance at the age of eleven was also on the wanted notice of the Church of Radiance. When the bounty hunters recognized me, they attacked my house that night.

"My divine bloodline has awakened for three years, and in these three years, I have carried out a lot of training according to the methods in the memory inheritance, and my strength is already very good. Although it is far less powerful than his mother, great-grandfather, and grandfather, it is not a problem to deal with a few bounty hunters.

"However, although I killed them, my stepfather wanted to protect me because he didn't know my power, and when he attacked a bounty hunter with a hunting bow, he was killed by the bounty hunter......"

At this point, she covered her face tightly and sobbed quietly before continuing: "After my stepfather died, I had no reason to stay any longer. And because of the appearance of bounty hunters, that small village is no longer safe. So I buried my stepfather next to my mother's grave and began to continue my journey east, which had been suspended for three years......"

This time, because she and her mother had disappeared for three years, the Holy See's pursuit of their mother and daughter finally eased. So it only took her half a year to come to the southern border of the empire.

But a small country outside the southwestern border of the empire has long been a vassal of the Holy Light Alliance. And because of the start of the Great War, the hedgehogs outside the southwest border of the empire gathered more than a million Holy Light Alliance troops. From land to sea, there are barracks, fleets everywhere. On every road, soldiers from the Holy Light Alliance patrolled back and forth.

In addition to the massive servant army, the army from the headquarters of the Holy Light Alliance is also hundreds of thousands, and a large number of strong people are gathered.

Therefore, it is easy to reach the southern border, but it is a great problem to really enter the territory of the empire.

Fortunately, Flora has awakened the divine bloodline, and in the divinity of the goddess of sprouts, there are plant attributes. So Flora is very good at woodland sneaking. The southwestern theater is also a mountainous terrain, and more than 90 percent of the landforms are dense mountain forests, which facilitates the development of Flora's ability.

She entered the deep mountains and dense forests, and sneaked through the mountains and forests into the territory of the empire. Because I didn't know the terrain, I could only bury my head all the way to the northeast. After a month of sneaking in the woods, she was completely disoriented, not knowing where she had been.

Just as she was about to leave the forest, find a place to live, and reorient herself, she met a group of knights.

A team of Guardian Knights of the Holy Light Alliance.

"Two Blood Angels for Preparatory Holy War, three Flame Knights." "They're doing the same thing as I do," said Flora, walking through the mountains and forests......

After discovering the five Guardian Knights of the Holy Light Alliance, Flora judged that they had figured out the Guò Mountains and Forests and infiltrated the territory of the Empire. Relying on the Divine Bloodline's ability to stealth in the woodlands, Flora quietly followed the five Guardian Knights, attempting to follow them into the Empire.

But Flora still underestimated the power of the Aphar Knight, and overestimated her own abilities. While navigating a small river in a valley in Guò, the five knights of the cathar realized that they were being followed. So they quietly laid a trap.

Flora, who fled with her mother for many years and was forced to learn countless traps and counter-trap knowledge since she was a child, and inherited the memories of her great-grandfather and grandfather, noticed the existence of the trap in time and did not crash into the trap.

But even so, she was still tracked down by five powerful Guardian Knights.

With the Bloodline's woodland stealth ability, Flora fled all the way, narrowly escaping the five Guardian Knights. But when two jungle experts, the Thorn Knights, join the trail, she loses her chance to get out of the trail completely.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the courage inherited from her mother's blood made Flora give up the idea of escaping and began to try to fight back. While pretending to continue to flee, she used the experience and skills she learned from her mother, as well as the knowledge and natural abilities inherited by the bloodline, to lay deadly traps one after another.

After five long days of chasing and counter-killing, Flora counter-killed a full seven Guardian Knights.

"Won't it?" After hearing her say that she had killed seven guardian knights, Li Qing and the others were greatly surprised.

Li Qingdao: "Three Raging Flame Knights, two Thorn Knights, and two even more terrifying Reserve Blood Angels...... There are seven Guardian Knights, all of whom were killed by you? ”

"How is this possible? There must also be a limit to bragging, ...... with your strength" Su Su's pupils flickered, staring at Flora: "Sixth-level warriors, fifth-level magicians, and some divine talents...... It's no problem to deal with ordinary soldiers, but how can you kill seven cathar knights? If you were really so strong, you wouldn't have been chased and killed by a few scouts from level eight or above just now. ”

"I'm not bragging." Flora said: "I, I wasn't so weak, I just ...... It's just that when I fought back against the seven Guardian Knights one by one, I was injured many times in a row. Five of them were fatal injuries. At that time, I didn't have time to recuperate, not even for a while, so I could only burn the divine blood and activate healing magic beyond my ability......"

After Flora's divine bloodline awakened, she possessed a lot of divine talents. Among them, there is a "full recovery" magic technique, which can restore all injuries in an instant, even if there is only one breath left, it can become alive again within a few seconds after the magic is activated.

But such a powerful magic is also very expensive. Each time it is used, a certain amount of Divine Blood is burned. It was impossible for Flora to kill seven powerful cathar knights without paying any price, and within five days, she was mortally wounded five times in a row. As a result, five full restorations were launched.

In this way, she originally had the strength of a thirteenth-level warrior and a fourteenth-level warlock, but after five full recoveries, her strength fell to the level of only a sixth-level warrior and a fifth-level warlock. The warrior level has dropped by seven levels, and the warlock level has dropped by a full nine.

Although this fall is not permanent, and as her divine bloodline grows, it can gradually recover, but under normal circumstances, it will take at least several years to slowly recover its former state.

It was precisely because her strength had fallen too much that she would be chased after a team of servant army scouts whose average strength was only above level eight and above, and she would be chased after the wolf bèi and fled.

"My strength has fallen too much, and I don't dare to leave the mountains and forests that can protect me, so I have been sneaking in the mountains. When they met the scouts, they didn't know they were already in the Empire. ”

Flora said, "I thought they had come to arrest me after learning about the death of the seven Guardian Knights, so they fled in the first place. I resisted when I fled, and I killed seven of the twelve scouts!

"It's a pity that my strength has dropped too much, and killing seven elite scouts has almost consumed all my body and energy. That's why he was chased by the remaining five scouts. ”

She fled all the way, and when she fled to a nearby mountain, she accidentally discovered an official road, and with the talent of the divine bloodline, night vision and farsightedness, she saw Li Qing and others standing in the shadow of the roadside from a distance. After recognizing that the appearance and clothing of Li Qing and others were the characteristics of imperial soldiers, she was overjoyed and finally left the mountains and forests and fled to the official road for help.

As early as when she decided to defect to the Eastern Empire, Flora learned a lot about the empire from her mother since she was a child, including language, writing, and so on. Even the imperial Chinese are so fluent, it is normal to recognize the military uniforms of Li Qing and others.

Speaking of this, Flora said with trepidation: "If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I'd have died by now." Thank you for saving me. I, I don't have anything to repay you now......"

She gritted her teeth, hesitated slightly, and then a touch of decisiveness flashed in her eyes, reached into her arms, took out an object, and said, "On the way to escape, many precious things were lost. It's the only thing I've got on me, so I'll use it as my thank-you gift. ”
