Chapter 46: The Captain of the Griffons
After spending more than a day, Haotian landed in the small float boat in the port city of La Rochelle in Torlistine. The www.biquge.info spent some gold coins to entrust the harbor with the custody of the floatboat, and the four of them bought four horses and rode towards the royal city of Torlistine.
When Willus woke up, he learned from Haotian about the determination of the king and Gelfin, and the whole person became silent. It's just that Haotian has seen Willus honing his skills in wind magic alone.
A day and a half later, the four arrived at the Academy of Magic in the afternoon.
Louise and Furke stayed together, and Willus spent the night in Haotian's room, and the four of them rested. Haotian sent Fukai to take over the group of shoddy magicians in the royal capital and gave her most of the gold coins. Her order was to inquire and gather information that would affect him. Fukai took over with great energy, and in Louise's unkind gaze, she rushed up and kissed Haotian on the cheek.
The three of Haotian rode on horseback and headed for the king's capital and arrived in the afternoon.
Dismounted at the palace, Louise was allowed to meet Ann Rietta.
The soldier was wary of Willus, who was shrouded in a cloak, and Louis repeatedly assured that the soldier would allow Willus in. The three of them saw An Rietta in the side hall, she was still wearing a purple dress, and her expression was a little melancholy.
Seeing Louise come in, she got up from her seat with a smile and hurried to meet her.
"Ah, Louise, it's great that you're alright. I've been worrying about you these days. ”
"I'm worried about you, Your Highness the Princess. I've always missed you, princess, too. ”
"Louise."
"Ann Rietta."
Just when the two women ignored the two men, their faces slowly approached.
"Ahem," Haotian pretended to cough and interrupted the two.
"Ah, Haotian, I forgot. Is this Valut? Angelita looked at Willus.
"Long time no see, Ann Rietta." Willus took off his cloak and smiled gently.
"Ah, ah, it's not a dream. It's Willus, you. Angelita looked agitated and reached out to stroke Virus's face. Great, it's really Cousin Willus. I've always worried about you, and if those rebels find you, they won't let you go. ”
"Willus, stay with me, I won't hand you over to those guys." Angela said firmly.
"I'm glad you have this heart. However, if your aunt had known, she would have stopped you. And those ministers of yours, they will definitely pass you over and give me to the rebels in exchange for benefits. Virus shook his head.
"Damn, is this still my country? Ever since the death of the first king, they have been preventing me from wearing a crown and almost putting me under house arrest, if it weren't for some power in the queen mother's family. An Rietta's expression was cold, and she obviously had a bad feeling for those ministers.
"Ann Rietta, let Willus change his name and study at the Academy of Magic. How about saying it's my distant cousin? At the Academy of Magic, I can protect him too. Haotian said.
"This." Angeletta thought for a moment and nodded, "Maybe it's better." Willus, you're going to school at Toristine Academy. ”
"Well, Toristine Academy is famous, and I hope to increase my magic level there." Virus nodded.
"That's great."
"By the way, what about Valut? Didn't I come back with you? Angela asked again.
"I have something to say about Valut." Louise said that Valut betrayed the princess, was part of the Restoration Alliance, and that he had assassinated Willus, as well as that he had been killed by them.
Haotian and Willus nodded and testified.
"How so?" Angeletta was incredulous, "Valut is a traitor or something. ”
"That's just the way it is. Ann Rietta. Haotian said coldly.
"Alas-" Ann Lietta sighed weakly, a weak woman, as the princess's future queen, was oppressed by the minister. The captain of the Magic Knights, whom she trusted, betrayed her again, and for a moment felt powerless.
"Angelata, if you trust me, I can take on that griffon's position." Haotian said.
The three of them looked over. Haotian is calm.
"Haotian, the captain of the Magic Knight Team is the weakest and also a triangular level magician. You, can you? Louise was skeptical.
"Really, would you like to help me? Haotian. "Angela was a bit of a surprise.
Willus stopped talking, looking at An Lietta and Haotian, feeling faintly uncomfortable in his heart.
"I believe Louise, if it's Haotian, you can trust it." Angelita seemed much more relaxed.
"I'll go and announce the betrayal and death of Valut, and then appoint you captain of the griffons. The griffons will not want you to be the captain of an outsider, and there may be some trouble. ”
"It's nothing, Valut has been killed, and the others shouldn't be my opponents." Haotian said confidently.
"Well, I believe you." Ann Rietta.
"I'll let Anicos prepare the identification and application for Virus, and I'll say hello to the Ottoman side. Stay in the palace room for the rest of the night today, everyone. ”
"Hmm."
"Thanks to the princess."
In the afternoon of the same day, a proclamation announcing the death of Viscount Valut, the former captain of the griffons, for betraying his country, caused an uproar at the gates of the city. Many of the young women who admired Valut refused to believe it, and the griffons gathered in front of the palace to demonstrate. Angela herself came forward to explain the series of events, which also involved the Reconquista and the rebel army of Albion.
The griffons were still skeptical, but had to accept the result.
The next day, Haotian appeared in front of the griffons, accompanied by Ann Rietta and Anicos.
"Knights, this is Haotian, my knight. Now, I have appointed him as the new captain of the Griffons. Ann Lietta said.
"What!" "How can this be?" "What is he capable of, Captain Valut is our captain."
The magic knights below were in an uproar.
"Quiet." Haotian took a step forward, his eyes swept over everyone.
The griffons slowly quieted down.
"The minimum requirement for the captain of the Magic Knight Team is also a [Triangle] mage. If you are not convinced by me, you can send someone to challenge me, and I will convince you. Haotian said coldly.
"Damn, this guy is so rampant."
"Vice Captain, come on, give him some good looks."
"We believe in you, Vice-Captain."
The representative of the griffin team, the vice-captain William, and the [Triangle Level] fire mage stepped forward.
William was tall, with a hooked nose and a gloomy expression.
"I'll be your opponent."
Haotian pulled out the long sword at his waist: "Well, just go up." ”
The rest of the group moved out of the way, and Anrietta retreated into the distance, Anis's side guard.
William pinched his wand, first a fireball. A head-sized orange fireball slashed through the air in an arc and smashed towards Haotian.
Haotian slashed out with a sword, and the fireball was hit in the air, and the sword body shone slightly to absorb the fireball.
"A sword that absorbs magic?!" William had good eyesight and recognized it.
"That's half right." Haotian swung at William, and a fireball shot at William from the blade of the sword.
William looked moved and ran away to the side.
The fireball landed and smashed into a large crater.
Haotian dragged his long sword upside down and rushed forward.
William chanted as he pulled away.
"Babbling, Phil, Griffondor." 【Beaded Fireball】
From the tip of William's wand, fist-sized orange fireballs continued to condense towards Haotian.
Haotian swung his sword to absorb it as he ran, but the impact attached to the fireball stopped Haotian's movements again and again.
William pulled away, about ten meters away from Haotian, closed his eyes and chanted aloud.
"Babble, Phil, Phil, Phil, Albrooke." [Flames]!!
This is the third form of the fireball, and the gathered fire magic causes the ground and the lawn to dehydrate and dry.
The griffons, Angela, and Anicos all had a change of expression.
A red, five-meter-diameter fireball in the sky exuded an astonishing amount of heat, slowly pressing down towards Haotian.
In the face of this kind of magic, Haotian clenched his sword and chanted softly.
"Harhuo Wendy, Wendy Lie." [Wind Blade].
The cyan brilliance flickered away, absorbed by the longsword Drew Fringa.
"Come on, buddy." Drew Fringa encouraged.
"That's exactly what I mean." Haotian rushed up to meet the fire explosion from top to bottom, kicking the ground hard and jumping high.
The heat wave was rolling, and Haotian swung out with a sword.
The Great Wind Blade was compressed by the long sword, slashing out the middle of the infestation with precision, splitting one in two.
"Soak it up for me, Dever."
The sword glittered, sucking at the flames around it and swallowing it into its blade.
A huge fireball that was cut open, the upper half detached, exploded in the air.
A fiery red heat wave swept in all directions, and the surrounding spectators had to retreat farther away.
The lower half of the huge fireball slowly decreased, and was swallowed into the sword by the long sword.
It only takes a little more time to absorb that part.
William held his wand and aimed it at Haotian, who was wielding a sword.
"Babbling, Phil, Albrooke." 【Fireball】
A fireball the size of a crimson head smashed straight towards Haotian.
Dever was absorbing part of the fireblast and had no strength left to deal with the fireball.
Haotian looked at the flying fireball, and his lips opened and closed to complete the chanting.
"Emo Walter Haye." 【Water Bomb】
A balloon of the same size met the fireball and flew out in a straight line in different directions.
"Boom" fireballs and water bombs collided together, and the water vapor filled and obscured William's vision.
An Rietta and the others, who were watching, could see it clearly.
After Haotian absorbed the flame explosion, he didn't fit into the water vapor and rushed towards William.
William stared at the cloud of water vapor and stared at it. Left? Or on the right?
Haotian rushed out from the opposite direction and stabbed straight with a sword.
William subconsciously held his wand in front of him.
"Clang" sounded clearly.
The sword stopped in front of William.
"Snap" the wand that broke in two and fell halfway to the ground.
"The winner is decided." Haotian said lightly.
Looking at the long sword in front of him, William was unwilling to say: "I lost." ”
"In the future, be your vice-captain." Haotian raised his sword and swung it upward.
"Boom" The crimson flame sword light emitted, rising upwards for about twenty meters before dissipating into the air.
After absorbing the flame explosion, it was reconstructed by Dev and became a sword of flames.
Feel the power of it. The griffons bowed their heads in silence.
Haotian withdrew his sword and returned to Rietta's side.
"It seems that everyone has no opinion."
An Lietta turned to look at Haotian with a solemn expression.
"My knight, Haotian, are you willing to be my shield, my sword, and fight for my will?"
"Yes, I do, Her Royal Highness Princess Ann Rietta." Haotian half-knelt on the ground, reached out to hold An Rietta's deep hand, and gently kissed the tip of An Rietta's hand.
With a blushing expression, Angela withdrew her hand and took her wand from Anicos' hand.
"So, I, Ann Rietta, Lady Torlistine, canonize you as a Royal Viscount and appoint you captain of the Griffins of the Royal Magic Knights. Would you like to accept this appointment? ”
An Rietta gently tapped Haotian's left and right shoulders and forehead with her wand, and then reversed the wand and handed it to Haotian.
"Yes, I do." Haotian took the wand with both hands, stood up, and stuck the wand next to the long sword.
From this moment, Haotian became the Royal Viscount and the captain of the Griffin Team.
