Prince Chris did look like a handsome imperial man, and his heroic appearance also carried the noble feeling unique to the superior of the empire, and the short golden hair belonging to the noble blood also raised in the garden breeze along with the pair of sword eyebrows, and the confident smile he displayed at this time shone around the garden pavilion. It seemed that because of the appearance of this handsome blond guy, Duan Qing and Xue Linghuanbing, who were standing at the gate of the garden, did not step forward for a long time, until the face of the soldier of the Imperial Royal Guard who came here with the two people began to show a little anger, and they bowed their heads respectfully again: "Meet Your Highness." ”

"No need to be polite."

The momentum of the young prince then looked at the figures of the two players who were still standing respectfully in place with their heads bowed, and a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in their eyes: "Are the two also adventurers who came to accept the commission?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

A few thoughts flashed slightly in his heart, but Duan Qing's respectful salutation did not change in the slightest: "My companion and I got the news from an adventurer, so we came to try our luck." ”

"Try your luck...... Hehe. ”

The noon sun refracted into the light and shadow of the pavilion, and the blond-haired young man raised his head slightly: "What an interesting statement...... Did you adventurers come to me just to try your luck? ”

"No, we definitely didn't mean that." Duan Qing replied without humility or arrogance: "It's just that we heard from Captain Lott before that the city lord is responsible for the matters related to recruiting adventurers to assist in the guard......

"The lord of Romria is the lord of the city who represents the empire, and his will is the will of the empire."

Duan Qing's words were interrupted by a deliberately lowered majestic voice, and the blonde young man who understood what the other party was referring to still waved his hand: "Even if it is His Excellency Bamos who appears this time, you should have enough respect for him." ”

“…… Respectfully, Your Highness. ”

"But it doesn't matter, this time it happened suddenly after all."

The majestic voice with coercion disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a young voice unique to ordinary young men: "Since it is my escort who is going to be selected, then I naturally have to see it with my own eyes." ”

"Tell me what your origins are." He put away his upright posture and asked slowly in an easy-going voice, "Are we the people of the Frey Empire?" ”

“…… We are all people born in the village of Carlo. ”

Glancing at the snow spirit phantom ice beside him, Duan Qing raised his head slightly: "Although we are always called foreigners by the people here, we are also the people of the empire. ”

"Karlo Village?" The blonde young man's eyes showed a moment of thought: "Yes...... Is that village located south of the castle of Thebilisi? ”

"Your Highness really knows the territory of the empire well." Duan Qing slapped the other party's ass silently: "We said goodbye to that village not long ago, and we want to go to other parts of the empire for a while......"

"Not so long ago?" A little surprise flashed in the blonde youth's eyes: "You have only been an adventurer for a short time?" ”

"Oh, our party has just been formed." Stroking his chest, Duan Qing, who straightened up, gestured to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice next to him, "The name is the Green Spirit Adventure Group." ”

"Qingling—a good name."

Nodding his head, the blonde prince, who was surrounded by the royal guards around him, said in a low voice, "I have known about the more famous adventure groups in the Santelius Province before, but it seems that there are no your names in them. ”

"Is Your Highness worried about our strength?" Duan Qing looked up at the man above the steps: "I don't know what kind of way we should prove ourselves?" ”

“…… Your consciousness is much better than the people before you. ”

Nodding slightly, an inexplicable smile bloomed on the face of the prince named Chris: "That's right, I personally presided over the recruitment of the mission this time, in order to be able to select the most suitable adventurer for the identity and symbol of the imperial prince, if you want to become such an adventurer, you must pass my test." ”

"I'm not going to give you any preferential treatment just because you're new adventurers, that's not fair to anyone else." Speaking of this, he glanced down at Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Bing: "And...... Since you have decided to come to me, it means that you have a similar realization, right? ”

"That's right." Duan Qing lowered his head deeply: "Please make a move, Your Highness, we will accompany you at any time." ”

"Good."

The feeling of coercion suddenly appeared in the sky above the pavilion as the voice raised, and Chris Frey Cardreft raised one of his hands in the air: "Gomez." ”

"Yes."

"Which side to start with this time?"

"In the previous order, this time it should start with the aristocratic side."

Nodding his head, the prince, who was standing in place and no longer speaking, then looked around the other side of the pavilion, and some of the nobles who heard this conversation then twisted their bodies uneasily, and finally sent out an aristocratic old man in a formal dress: "Ahem! That one...... Listen up. ”

"I'm going to put you to the test." He cleared his throat, his eyes closed as if he were thinking hard, "Please get ready. ”

"An old magician...... Come on. With his right hand on the hilt of his sword, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice replied in a deep voice, "We're ready." ”

"No, no, no, this is not a competition." The old man hurriedly waved his arm: "It's a test." ”

"Please answer my question: what is the name of the Imperial nobleman who is known as the 'Durandel', the flower of the Temple?"

“…… Yes? ”

In the movement that gradually fell silent, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was pressing the hilt of the sword, blinked his eyes, and only after a while did he send out a somewhat overwhelmed look under his eyes, along with a subconscious puzzled voice. In the low snickering that came from all around, Duan Qing, who heard this shock, stretched out his hand to cover his face, and only after a while did he turn around and pull back the snow spirit phantom ice on the side in the movement of waving the sleeves of the tiger's gray magic robe: "Sorry, I want to confirm a little - is this your test?" ”

"This is our test for this round."

Biting a few of the syllables hard, the aristocratic old man replied with a smile, "As long as you can answer this question, we can count you through." ”

“…… It's as simple as that? ”

"Simple?"

Pointing to the embarrassed face of Xue Linghua Bing on the other side, the aristocratic old man stroked his beard: "Look at the way you look now, can you answer this question?" This is one of the final results of my research after studying the history of the empire for nearly a thousand years with several other elders of the Imperial Mansion! ”

"If you really can't answer, I can give you some hints." He laughed, "Although its reputation is not as prominent as before, it is an imperial family that can be juxtaposed with many ancient families......

"What is this, an intelligence test?"

Looking at the old man standing in front of the pavilion and began to talk endlessly and with a triumphant expression, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who didn't want to pay any more attention to him, pouted his lips: "Why does the adventurer's entrusted mission suddenly have a history question that jumps out?" ”

"You understand that whether it's a plot change or a system setting, in short, it did appear." Duan Qing, who was leaning against each other, also let out a low chuckle: "Just now he also deliberately emphasized the three words 'this round', so this Wendou is just one of the tests we are about to face." ”

"It's just a matter of selecting guardian players, is it necessary to make it so complicated?" As a result, Xue Ling's face hidden under the hood became even more tangled: "What should we do?" ”

"What else can I do, of course, to answer the question."

A strange smile slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and Duan Qing gestured in the direction behind the noble old man: "Do you know why those nobles are laughing?" Because the answer to this question is actually quite simple. ”

"It's the Roland family."

He raised his head and whispered in the direction of the noble old man, whose smile then seemed to have frozen for a long time, and was masked by the low laughter of the nobles: "You, how do you know? ”

"The first head of the House of Roland was a great performer at the founding of the Frey Empire, and his name and statue were later engraved in the main hall of the Royal Palace of Redcar, and Frey the Great at that time gave him the title of Templar." Duan Qing Shi bowed gracefully: "I happen to know that crazy girl-ah no, I just happen to have some research on the history of the empire, and I have heard some imperial secrets, so ...... I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer? ”

"Wonderful, very wonderful."

Before the old man's lips trembled could say his response, the Imperial Prince, who was sitting in the pavilion, smiled and clapped his hands: "It seems that these two are indeed adventurers who know the Frei Empire very well, and they are stronger than the previous test takers." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment." Duan Qing, who took a step back, looked up at the other party: "Then this level-"

"You've passed this level." His Royal Highness tilted his head in satisfaction: "Gomez." ”

"Yes."

"The next level is up to you."

He pointed forward, and at the same time said to a certain royal guard beside him who had been answering him, and then the sound of the collision of armor and the sky-breaking wind howl that suddenly disappeared in place instantly appeared in front of Duan Qing: "...... Be. ”

"Wen Dou is finished and changed to martial arts...... Hmph, there's really nothing creative. ”

Looking up at the figure of this imperial soldier with gold-inlaid armor in front of him like a mountain, Duan Qing sighed and let out his voice: "Fortunately, we have a clear division of labor. ”

"Spirit Ice." He smiled at the woman next to him, then took a step back in the latter's nod: "It's really your turn this time." ”

A silent confrontation appeared in the middle of the garden with the change of positions between a man and a woman, accompanied by the sight of a woman in a cloak standing quietly in front of the soldier known as Gomez, and the aristocratic crowd that had been gathered around them also dispersed with this confrontation, as if they had foreseen what was going to happen there in the next moment. Gradually lowering his body, the right hand of the cloak Snow Spirit Phantom Ice slowly landed on the white hilt of the sword at his waist again, and the eyes that were exposed between the tips of the white hair also gradually solidified with the atmosphere, and fell between the iron helmets of the royal guard in front of him: "Please advise." ”

"I can't talk about teaching, it won't take too long anyway." Two rays of light slowly shot out from the helmet, which was also covered with gold, accompanied by Gomez's voice of an urn shrouded in an iron helmet: "You just need to take my move." ”

"One move...... Hum. ”

The light in his eyes flashed, and the corners of Xue Ling's mouth gradually revealed a disdainful chuckle: "Okay, it's faster this way." ”

"You look confident."

Arms wrapped in heavy armor slowly raised, Gomez raised a heavy sword high above his head: "Hopefully ...... in ten seconds"

"You still have the life to keep saying this."

The invisible pressure appeared around the royal guard as his words fell, gathering around the long sword held high in the air like a mountain of mountains, and they gradually transformed into identical long swords in the eyes of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, accompanied by the figures of the imperial soldiers who also held the long sword side by side above the head of the royal guard named Gomez. Knowing that this was the performance of the peak of momentum, Xue Ling Phantom Ice closed his eyes very simply, and then curled up his bowed body to the extreme according to the sword method he had trained since his rebirth: "......"

"What you are facing now is the glory of the Empire."

As if to understand the mountain-like scene that Xue Lingphantice saw at this time and the indomitable will of the woman who was suppressed by this scene, Gomez said in a flat voice, and then slashed the sword down lightly under the eyes of everyone around the garden and pavilion: "Drink! ”

Bite!

There was no imaginary heavy collision sound, a crisp metal clanging sound then appeared in the center of the two long swords that converged in an instant, and the snow spirit phantom ice that had already pulled out the dragon's tooth long sword at some point then stabbed the white blade with the same color as his own on the top of the oncoming blade, and the long sword blade that was collapsing in the mountains staggered: "Give me ......"

"Get out of here!"

With a piercing grinding sound, the slash of the mountain and the spike of the dragon's tooth intersected in the air for a second, and then slashed down the edge of the white blade, landing heavily at the feet of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice.
