Act 40: Breaking Barriers
The sound of the wood carving falling to the ground is very crisp, but fortunately, it is made of cork, and it has not been broken after falling.
"You're really here to investigate Rhine's background!" The moment the wood carving hit the ground, Harrester drew his sword from behind his back and pointed it at La Niña.
"I'm sorry Rheinland, but this kind of thing can't be hidden! You can't find a second pair of ice pupils in the world, so it's better to find out directly and solve the matter now! "Harrest knows Rhine too well, and he noticed that Rhine was showing a little abnormality on the road just now. And he is like this, the Rhine matter, he has to make a kick no matter what he says.
According to Harletter's speculation, if Rhine and La Niña were left alone next, Rhine would definitely take the initiative to provoke La Nina's intentions. At that time, Rhine will not face the current La Niña, but the kingdom's sixth-order magician. This kind of thing Harrester says nothing that won't let it happen!
"You are indeed the son of the paladin Alfred Betchernst, Alfred Rhein!" La Niña finally confirmed the speculation in her mind. She clearly wants to rectify Ota City, but this small city should not be let be rectified by herself. In fact, at the castle meeting, she suspected that Rhine's identity was extraordinary, and later she secretly consulted the history books, and actually found a man with blonde hair and ice eyes who looked exactly like Rhine. And that man was none other than Betch Ernst.
The reason why the paladin Betchernst was not well-known back then was because the Longyuan Kingdom completely blocked the news, and among the nobles and high-ranking people of the Longyuan Kingdom, Betchernst was a thunderous name. Even though La Niña grew up in the elven race, it seems that she has heard this name appear in the mouths of the elves.
Rhine's hand that had been clenching finally let go, he closed his eyes and said, "Hallest, you go, this is the hatred between me and the Longyuan Kingdom, it's none of your business!" ”
Harrest was not moved at all, and said: "I am now picking out to help you deal with this guy together, so today we will either live together or die together!" ”
La Nina looked at the two teenagers in front of her, a little embarrassed.
Betchernst was a sinner in the kingdom, and his son should be beheaded together. But after Betchernst volunteered to dedicate himself, the people of the kingdom could not find the whereabouts of Rhine, so the matter was shelved.
As for La Niña, he should serve the kingdom. But she is also half a friend of these two teenagers, and it is really difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness!
"Ten years have passed, no matter what mistakes that paladin made back then, it should be settled, right? Besides, I'm a sixth-order forbidden spell magician, can't I do business privately, who dares to accuse me? And this Rhine is an upright person no matter how he looks at it, why should he let the old foxes in the royal capital deal with him......" La Nina couldn't find a reason to deal with Rhine no matter how she thought about it. However, Rhine's intentions are unclear, and he regards the Longyuan Kingdom as an enemy...... But a good person is not a threat to the kingdom, is he? The son of a seventh-order powerhouse may become a power for the kingdom in the future...... La Niña struggled back and forth in her mind.
"I haven't said anything!" La Niña finally spoke.
"Needless to say, didn't you come this time to find out my background?" Rhine looked at each other coldly, without the slightest intention of saying good things.
"I've lived in the elven clan for eighteen years, and I don't know what grievances your father has with the kingdom! This time I'm really here to investigate your origins! But I'm just curious! I just want to see if you're the son of a seventh-order powerhouse!" La Niña said the words abruptly.
"Then why are you so surprised when you hear my father's name, isn't it because you thought of leaving me at the disposal of the kingdom?" Rhein continued.
"I didn't hold it, I accidentally dropped it! Haven't you ever dropped something? Is it really just a coincidence, do you know what coincidences mean? "La Niña gives the feeling of being coquettish......
"Now that you know that I'm the son of Betchernst, what are you going to do with me?" Rhein looked at La Niña as if she had been wronged, and she couldn't lift her anger.
"You're the son of Betch Ernst, not my La Niña. Why should I deal with you! La Nina's last sentence was uttered, and the tense atmosphere at the scene was completely disintegrated......
Harrester looked at the way he was now, relieved and laughed again.
Rhine was also suddenly confused, and he forgot all the questions he had thought about. He thought that the best outcome would be that La Niña would find nothing, and the worst would be that La Niña would execute him on the spot. I didn't expect this to be the case now.
"I'm a sixth-order forbidden spell magician, and I have the Elf Queen to support me! I dare not listen to anyone's words, even if Wang Duli orders me to arrest you, I will not do anything! You, Rhine, are brothers who have lived and died with me! La Niña patted her chest, looking generous. In the end, she also released such cruel words to reassure the two teenagers, which can be regarded as her best efforts......
Hearing this, Rhine was almost relieved. But just in case, he decided to give himself another insurance, because he couldn't die right now.
"Lord La Niña!" Rhine drew his saber abruptly, then handed the hilt in front of La Niña and knelt down on one knee.
"What are you doing here, didn't I say I don't blame you?" La Nina was startled when she looked at the sword handed to her, thinking that Rhine was trying to get her to pick up the sword and give him a good time.
"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul."
"At present, the strong enemy is not afraid. Courageous and loyal, worthy of the gods. Loyal and upright, rather than give in. Protecting the weak is not against the principles of heaven. ”
"I, Alfred Rhein, swear to be loyal to you forever, to protect your safety forever, and I swear to die for what I love!"
La Nina looked blankly at Rhine, who was kneeling on one knee, at his golden hair, and at his pious vows for love, and suddenly the girl's heart exploded! She didn't know how many times she longed for this scene, but no man had ever dared to swear so sincerely in front of her.
She raised her sword and gently touched the blade to Rhine's shoulders.
Then Rhine gently lifted La Niña's hand, kissed it on the back of it, and then stood up.
Harrester had been watching the two men from the sidelines, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart...... He didn't know if he should complain at this time...... However, seeing Rhine take the initiative to kneel down and ask to become a knight of La Nina, Harrest felt that this was a bit problematic. It's not the Rhine's style, unless there's something he doesn't know yet.
