Chapter Forty-Four: Barn
It's just that the two of them have completely embarked on two paths, Yunmeng is completely suppressed and transferred energy, combined with the unique power of internal strength, integrated all the martial arts essence seen in the battle, and used a unique dual-wielding swordsmanship.
But Eunice is different, not only can she want Yunmeng to use a dual-wielding sword like this, she also signed a contract with Tamos, believes in the demon king Uhir, practices swordsmanship, as long as she can get power, she will do it, even if it is to sell her soul, she also wants to go to that person's side
Leon has a number of harems and children, among which his favorite is his eldest daughter, Princess Helia.
But among his children, only three princesses can barely get their hands on it, and the throne is likely to be inherited by one of the three in the future, but the eldest princess Helia is very close to a captain, and often goes out on missions with him, and this captain establishes the Ghost Knights, which is a knight order composed of ghost swordsmen, and the name of this leader is "Ilrubek".
And the second princess left the school after graduating from the Royal Sword Academy, went out on an adventure, and did not even participate in the final ranking match.
As for the third princess, Isabella, inherited the brilliant mind and sharp intuition of Heinrich III and longed for a free life.
Unlike the other sisters, Isabella resists marriage, and even the hard-nosed emperor is helpless against this daughter and is left to live the life she likes.
Because of the emperor's favor, Isabella developed the habit of profligacy.
Isabella didn't like to carry escorts, preferring to make private interviews and gain insight into public opinion.
Although she now has Sellers as a bodyguard, she is not averse to this childhood sweetheart.
Cyrus, whose real name is Cyrus. Elgett, a loyal hound of the Delos Empire, was born into a family of Imperial Army cadres.
After his father was killed by anti-imperial forces, he voluntarily transplanted a demon hand in order to avenge his father.
Among the Demon Hand transplanters, her transplantation rate is the same as that of Eunice, which is the most perfect, even Yunmeng can't compare to them, and Cyrus and Eunice are among the first Demon Contractors to communicate with the Demon, although there are only two Demon Contractors on the continent at present.
There are even some demons that only Cyrus can manipulate, not even Eunice, but this is a top-secret matter that is not open to anyone, and only the Emperor of Leon knows of its existence.
A self-proclaimed hound, Cyrus eliminated a large number of enemies for the Empire and was trusted by Barn, the Shortsword Saint.
After receiving a tip from within the empire that the nobles supported the revolutionary army, Sellers forcibly carried out a search, but was strongly repelled by the aristocratic forces and finally dismissed from his post.
And now Sellers is in charge of protecting Princess Isabella.
Speaking of Barn, he is a sword master who served in the Delos Empire, and one of the four sword saints who fought against Shylock in the Cave of Sorrow, and his proud weapon is a short sword.
His dazzling short silver hair and gorgeous earrings are his most obvious features. Although he seems to be polite to people, his demeanor always inadvertently reveals the arrogance of the elite.
Barn had long been among the top swordsmen in the Delos Empire, but he was not content to be resigned to the power he possessed. In order to take on stronger opponents, he resolutely joined the Empire's Cave of Sorrows Investigation Team.
In the course of his investigation, he was fascinated by the power he had dreamed of, the apostolic power of Shylock.
After the investigation was over, he made a very different choice from the other Three Sword Saints.
He accepted the title of knighthood granted by the Empire, stayed with the Emperor, and instigated him to imprison young children for transfer experiments in order to gain that infinite power.
It was because of him that Eunice completely changed her fate.
However, Barn is also a poor man.
Emily, she is an aristocratic girl who fell in love with Barn when she was young and was engaged, Barn was an out-and-out grassroots teenager before she went to the Cave of Sorrows, at least compared to Emily's family, or Barn would not have told Emily how happy she was when she was crowned.
And then is it a beautiful love story of a pair of childhood sweethearts entering the marriage hall?
No! Not.
On the eve of the wedding, Emily was seriously injured by an attack by opponents of the Empire, and although she was saved from the fire, she became unaware of Barn and could not take care of herself.
When Barn went, not only did Emily fall unconscious, but there was also a guard in front of her who swore to protect her. The guard did not die in vain, he knocked down two assassins.
When Barn rescued Emily, her silver knife happened to fall out of her hand, and it was the two assassins who tried to insult Emily, but the silver knife in Emily's hand protected her chastity.
Then there is some pan-goodness. The bard Alice met with Heinrich III and answered His Majesty's questions.
It can be seen that Heinrich III is an out-and-out cold-blooded tyrant, and Barn is involved in Emily, who seems to be the sword master admired by all people.
Back then, Barn. Basiut returned to the empire after defeating the evil monster Shylock who had caused Arad to panic, and immediately attracted much attention.
Even the battle-hardened knights couldn't achieve a great feat, but this young sword soul did, and people praised and blessed him one after another.
Women sprinkled flowers at the young hero, the men applauded with all their might, and the children cheered after Barn's ranks.
Amid the sound of trumpets and cheers, Barn, the protagonist of the celebration, entered the palace in a daze and knelt before the emperor.
"Barn. Bashut, the subordinate is back. Barn said.
Emperor of the Delos Empire, Leon said: "Good work. It's great that you're back safely. I heard that even the court magicians were no match for her, but I didn't expect you to defeat the evil Shylock at a young age. ”
Barn said: "It's not the work of one person. If it weren't for the fact that there were other sword souls fighting side by side with her subordinates at that time, her subordinates would definitely be defeated in her hands. ”
Barn's voice was loud and clear. Today was supposed to be a celebration for him, and it was okay to accept the emperor's praise alone, but he still mentioned the other sword souls, making it clear that it was not his own credit. Leon smiled mildly and said, "You are so humble. However, you don't have to deliberately humble yourself for your merits today. You are the proud knight of our empire. ”
"Huh? But the subordinates are not knights......"
Looking at Barn, who hesitated to point out the emperor's mistake and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, the smile on the emperor's face became even brighter.
Leon smiled, "You weren't before today, but from now on, you will serve me and the Empire as a knight, and become famous all over the world." Come here, get down on your knees. ”
Hearing the word "knight", Barn looked up.
Barne didn't follow the knightly path step by step. Although his strength was recognized, his name was not included in the knight candidates with intricate interests.
However, he has been busy honing his swordsmanship and is not too obsessed with the honor of knighthood. For him, getting the title of Sword Soul was already a remarkable achievement.
No, it should be said that the recognition of swordsmanship is more proud of him than the title of sword soul.
However, since the emperor personally bestowed on him the title of knight, he had no reason to refuse.
Leon said: "Barne Baschut, will you swear to be a knight worthy of chivalry, advocating justice, willing to give, and leading by example to all people?" ”
Barn said, "I swear. ”
Leon added: "Barn Bashut, are you willing to swear that as the glorious knight of the Delos Empire, you will die for your country and defend your country with your flesh and blood?" ”
Barn said, "I swear. ”
Leon: "Your loyalty will reap love and trust, and your betrayal will incur anger and punishment." This vow will last until the day of your life, until death. Lift your head up and flatten down. You have become a knight of the Delos Empire. And, from now on, you will be Viscount Barn Bashut, and your name will forever be etched in history. ”
There was a commotion among those present. Hearing the emperor's declaration, the nobles of the empire all widened their eyes, thinking that they had misheard.
However, there was nothing wrong with their ears, and Barn, who had nothing but swordsmanship prowess. Bashuut will be a nobleman from today, a viscount.
A minister named Heuman secretly said in his heart: "Is Your Majesty crazy? How can you make such a vulgar guy a viscount! Didn't we discuss making him a baron at most? Why is that damn little imp ......?"
Barn himself was also very frightened, and the only person who kept his composure apart from the Emperor was Conard of the K* family, who was famous among the warrior families.
Conard said secretly in his heart: "The viscount ...... Your Majesty also really likes to joke. There will be a lot of people who will oppose it...... However, Baschut should be able to deal with these difficulties. Compared to the knights who are willing to fall now, that young man is a hundred times stronger than them......"
Hearing the emperor's sudden declaration, only he cast a kind gaze.
Barn didn't know the quiet and quick eye exchange behind him, and he swore aloud and with determination and force.
"The subordinates are terrified, and they will do their best for Your Majesty!"
…………
"Emily! Emily! ”
As soon as the Emperor's audience was over, Barn hurried to a quiet courtyard where a maiden was waiting for him.
With people trying their best to catch a glimpse of Bath, it's not easy to sneak out.
However, in order not to forget Emily for a moment during the long expedition, Barn ran to her against all odds.
The girl, who was waiting at the place where the two often met, heard her name being called and turned around. The girl was startled at the sight of Barn's embarrassment in order to sneak over, and soon her face turned red, full of shyness and joy.
Anyone can tell that this is a girl who is in love.
Barn gently picked up Emily, who was running over with her skirt fluttering, and happily spun in circles. Emily hugged Barn tightly, too.
