Section 37 The True Heir

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the forest was dark at night, and all around was the sound of countless insects.

Under the woods where he couldn't see his fingers, a horse galloped from the south, startling several black knights who were patrolling in a panic.

In the shadow of the sword and sword, the screams continued one after another. In the blink of an eye, several Tubisi people fell in a pool of blood, completely unable to block the way of the comer. When the other black knights heard the noise, the man was already gone.

Robitt took the long sword, grazed it twice on his arm, retracted the scabbard with a clatter, and continued to gallop north wildly.

All the way from Fort Litun, this is already the third group of barbarian patrols Robit has encountered. For Robit, these small black knights of Tubis are not in his eyes at all. Robit had only one thought in his heart, and that was to rush to the big cliff south of the royal capital as soon as possible, and to retrieve his father's sword in the wide West River River. If anyone dared to stop him, he would kill as many as he could, and Robit had no fear of that.

For the rest of the day, Robit rode his horse day and night. When he was tired, he took a nap on the grassy slope with his war horse; When he was thirsty, he drank the clear water of the stream with his horses. He avoided all the roads, weaving between the woods and the meadows, and ran to the direction of the royal capital with the closest distance. On the morning of the third day, Robit finally reached the West Crystal River, and the tall cliffs were in front of him.

Robbitra sat quietly on the banks of the River Sinette with the reins, her eyes staring at the low walls of the royal capital at the top of the cliff.

This section of the wall belongs to the southern wall of the royal capital, because it faces the cliff and is completely separated from the east side of the city wall by the mountain, so this section of the wall is not used to defend against enemy attacks, but only to protect the people in the city from falling off the cliff, so this section of the wall is not very high. There was a gap in the wall, and if Mary chose to jump off the cliff, she would have to choose to jump from that gap.

Robitt had already locked the spot, and he picked up a rock from the ground and threw it into the river, estimating the depth of the water based on the splash. Then, regardless of his tired body, he untied the long sword at his waist and threw it aside, and quickly took off the extra clothes on his body.

With a thud, Robit plunged headlong into the river and swam quickly to the edge of the cliff.

As Robit plunged headlong into the water, the river was immediately quiet, except for the whirlpools brought by the fast-moving water.

At this time, the sky began to darken, and a strong wind swept through the south gate, and soon it began to rain.

When Robit surfaced for the third time, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky overhead, and it began to rain heavily.

The rain and wind frantically slapped Robit's face, but it still couldn't stop him, and Robit plunged into the water again to continue the search.

In this way, Robit changed positions again and again, but every time he surfaced, he was empty-handed.

The sword was heavy, and it certainly wouldn't be carried away by the river, it was definitely hidden somewhere at the bottom of the nearby river, Robit was very sure. He wiped the water from his face, gasped for breath, and then put his hand in the water to feel the speed of the river.

Suddenly, Robit also thought of one thing, that is, the sword is a long, narrow flat shape, and there will be a certain position drift when falling in the water. He estimated a distance, then swam a little downstream, then made mental marks with the positions of the banks on both sides.

Robit's head then submerged in the water again, once or twice...... Fifteen ...... Twenty-one times, Robit has been searching relentlessly, and it seems that he will never give up.

When he plunged to the bottom of the river for the twenty-second time, it was a long time before Robit came to the surface.

This time he had an extra scabbard crawling with snails in his hand, and he lifted the heavy scabbard with ecstasy, the thin ribbon on the hilt still there, but the color was a little black because of the long soaking.

It was a very coincidental number that Robit finally recovered his father's saber when he dived underwater for the twenty-second time, and he was exactly twenty-two years old this year.

The sword seemed to be waiting for its true owner, and so many villagers who were good at diving had been searching for an afternoon and couldn't find it, and now it appeared in Robit's hands out of nowhere, as if the gods were guiding Robit to retrieve it.

After returning to the riverbank, Robit's heart seemed calm at this moment! He reached out and tore a piece of fabric from his clothes, and gently scrubbed the scabbard, cleaning it inside and out.

Robit stood on the riverbank diving, quietly looking at the dark red mark on the hilt, which was the mark of Alto's use. Robit removed the dirty ribbon, for Robit felt that it was not the glory of the First Duke's Palace, and that the new glory had to be earned by himself.

Suddenly, Robit snorted and pulled out his long sword, the sword glittered in the lightning, the blade was as sharp as ever, and the words of Connor's sword were clearly visible on the sword, and at that moment Robit's face showed a satisfied smile.

Towards the end of the evening, the rain finally stopped, and Robit woke up in a daze in the half of the village's dilapidated thatched huts, his clothes already drying by the fire. Robit stretched, then quickly put on his clothes, put out the fire with his feet, and walked out of the grass hut with his sword.

Robit led his horse to the three big trees at the entrance of the village that Carter had mentioned, and on the dirt slope behind the big trees, Robit saw a simple earthen grave.

Among the siblings in the First Duke's Court, Mary and Robit were the closest. Seeing his sister buried here alone, Robit's nose was sore, and two lines of tears burst out.

He knelt quietly in front of his sister's grave, placed his father's saber on the ground, and stared at the sword without saying a word.

The past slowly came back to his mind, remembering his father's stern face and angry rebuke, and he understood that this was his father's pure teaching to him. It's a pity that he didn't fight and killed the prince by mistake, discrediting the entire Duke's Palace, and making his father desperate for himself because of this. The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, he missed his relatives very much, and he was lonely and his tears flowed non-stop.

After calming down, Robit closed his eyes and prayed silently for his sister. During Mary's lifetime, she was the most fond of prayer, and was ridiculed by all her brothers for it, and Robit had to read it to her herself, praying that the gods would take her to heaven.

After the prayer, Robit took a lot of stones from nearby, built a simple wall for his sister's grave, covered the whole grave with gravel, and then dug a deep ditch around the wall to prevent the rain from washing away the grave and keep it as dry as possible.

Before leaving, Robit took one last look at his sister's grave, and then he whipped up and galloped away.

In the mountains and forests on the north side of Reesburg, Robit rode his horse wildly and hurried to Dragon City.

This is a knight who has been silent for a long time, he is full of anger and determination, and the word revenge is only left in his heart!
