Chapter 207: Saving the Royal Capital (1)
A knight can receive many honors and medals in his life, but the highest honor that can be obtained by both ordinary knights and Anglican knights is the appointment of a sword guard. The knight who received this honor would remain by the king's side, serving as the king's protector and servant, defending the precious sword of the kingdom of Rodland. But that's not all, the older sword guards are often like the king's father, and for the sword guards, it is a very painful experience to see their own king die.
Especially a loyal old knight like Sir Lowwater, who had served two monarchs.
In Mierte, almost everyone had heard of the legend of Sir Lowwater, especially the squires who served the royal family. Lowalt was once a common attendant of King Guffenhardt, His Majesty Ryan I, and when King Guffenhardt was ambushed during a hunt, all the knights of Griffonheart were quickly killed, as were the squires. King Geffenhardt fell to the battlefield, crushed by his dead horse. Only Lowalt survived, and the young squire might have escaped, but instead he picked up a spear and charged at the enemy. He fought his way to the king, freed him from his dead horse, and protected him from danger. Soon after, King Geffenhardt canonized him as a knight and appointed him as his sword guard.
Sir Lowater seized the golden opportunity to prove his loyalty with a feat of victory, and at the same time to show off his hard work, so he had the highest honour. He accompanied the old king through a life that was not very open, personally experienced and witnessed the end of the Barron Empire's war of aggression, and then ushered in the little king Ryan II, watching him marry two women before and after. In the royal city of Mierte, except for the old prime minister who was already at home, there was no one with higher qualifications and more prestige than him. And if nothing else, he will continue to serve the royal family and take care of the next heir. Sometimes Sir Lowatt jokingly thought that after serving two kings, it was time for him to change his taste and serve the queen for one term.
As usual, Sir Lowwater awoke from his residence in the royal palace. After completing the morning swordsmanship training, respectfully take out the Sword of the Ancestors and complete the daily routine maintenance. Although his job was to deal with the dust from the scabbard and polish the pearlescent gems on the scabbard, Sir Lowalt never slackened. As for the sword in the scabbard? Don't say it's him, even Ryan I, he has never seen it.
After completing this series of work, it is already the third day of the day, and Sir Lowalt is ready to go to the palace where the princess is staying to teach the princess basic swordsmanship. At this time of year, Sir Lowwater was not able to accompany the King. Although as a sword officer. Sir Lowater should not leave the King's side, but the arena where the martial arts tournament took place was so crowded that Sir Lowater considered it an insult to the sword to be squeezed around, and his duty was not to leave the sword, so His Majesty the King granted him permission to remain in the palace. Over the years, the sword officer and the king had been separated unharmed, but today, Sir Lowwater's life has undergone a second upheaval.
Carrying the Sword of the Ancestors and the Sword of Ryan I. Sir Lowalt walked through the corridors of the palace and greeted each of his attendants politely and calmly. But just as he walked out of the side door of the main hall. There was a sudden explosion, and in the courtyard where the princess was, the tower specially built for Her Royal Highness the princess collapsed, and Sir Lowwater watched as the towering tower cracked and collapsed from the middle, and dust instantly covered the entire side of the palace.
"There was an earthquake!"
The waiter's screams woke the old sir, his first reaction. It was to rush to the princess's courtyard to rescue Her Royal Highness, but when he rushed to the scene with a sense of shock, what he saw was a huge ruined wall, and it was impossible for him to move out the rubble to find the princess with his own strength, so he immediately summoned the palace guards. But before the palace guards cleared the barrier at the entrance of the courtyard. News reached the palace that the earthquake had caused a partial collapse of the arena, and Sir Lowwater could not sit still. Leaving more than a dozen palace guards, let them and the palace attendants search and rescue Her Royal Highness, and he took more than eighty other palace guards and hurriedly got on his horse and rushed to the arena.
The sword guard swore allegiance to His Majesty the King to the death, and this conviction was firm and unshakable.
Even if it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, as long as she does not succeed to the throne for a day, the center of gravity in the old sir's heart will never exceed His Majesty Rion II!
The group of men and horses rushed out of the palace, galloping along the way, and the old knight prayed in his heart that the ancient god Luna would protect the king, and what was happening on the street was also seen. The impromptu thugs, the barbarians who saw plunder as the norm, and the bullies and merchants were all vividly remembered, and Sir Lowwater was very chilled by the fact that an earthquake could cause so many atrocities. He thought that if he could confirm the safety of His Majesty the King and ensure that Rion II was safe and sound, he would definitely come back to punish these wicked people, but for now, at least, he could only hope that Luna would save her people.
In less than ten minutes, Sir Lowwater and the palace guards hurried to the venue of the martial arts conference, but the terrible thing was that they circled around the arena and failed to find a gap for people to enter, and dozens of entrances and exits of the entire venue collapsed and were blocked. In fact, this is not a strange thing, the entrance and exit of the arena must have fewer support points than the walls, and it is almost certain that the foundation will collapse above the unstable foundation after the earthquake, but Sir Lowalt still feels a strange feeling from it.
It was like the lingering foreboding in his heart many years ago, before accompanying Ryan I on a hunting trip.
The palace guards shouted loudly for His Majesty, trying to understand the situation inside, but they were all muffled by the rumbling sound. Even if there was no earthquake, Sir Lowwater could hear the cacophony of people inside, and it was clear that there were many people trapped in it.
"Lord Sir, the stones here are too heavy, I'm afraid we won't be able to move them until the mages of the Magic Guild come." Some palace guards tried to move the collapsed stone pile, but unfortunately they returned in vain.
Sir Lowalt pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his horse's head, "Go to the guard post!" "There is a monitoring center for the Wizard's Eye of the entire city over there, if you can't rescue His Majesty the King, at least you must see the safety of His Majesty the King first.
In addition, he also had to blame the commander of the city guards, and if such a big thing happened, he would rush to the arena to rescue His Majesty the King immediately. Second, if you don't send city guards to maintain law and order in the city, you will be responsible for this dereliction of duty!
There can be no doubt that the royal guards' respect for the old knight can only be checked and balanced by the king's orders. More than eighty horsemen immediately turned to the city guard post in Nancheng District
It has always been said that "eyes are the windows to the soul", so facing the one-eyed monster on the body of this cloud, Green was sure that he saw embarrassment in its eyes.
Why was the demonic beast sent to assassinate the white-haired old man? Will you look embarrassed?
This question flashed through Green's mind for a moment, and in the next second, Green had already raised half of the holy sword to make a move. No matter what the other party plans, now his ridicule is obviously much greater than the old man's, if he waits for the continuous lightning to fall again, even if the old man makes a move to block the lightning, he has no strength left, and he can only rely on the pot of strong desire, but with the first ineffective absorption, I am afraid that the ability of the pot of strong desire will not help.
But before Green could activate the Mental Qi Barrier. The one-eyed in the huge cloud in the air actually gave up the lightning attack, fluttered down, and then in Green's vigilant posture, it actually seemed to be magical, and a circle of gas was snorted, and when the white smoke dissipated, what was revealed was actually a palm-sized, big black eyes cute little cloud baby!
What the heck!
Not only Green, but everyone present dropped their jaws in shock. The leader of the assassins, who was entangled by the Minotaur in the distance, was even more stunned. If it weren't for the bull-headed giant beast jumping up and down, he would have wanted to rush over and pinch the cloud doll's neck and question it again. Where did it hide that behemoth!?
"What are you...... Cloud? ”
Green swallowed back the "person" in his mouth, and asked cautiously in front of the princess, but it still missed Sefilia's curious little head. Among all the people present, I am afraid that only Her Royal Highness the princess does not have the slightest vigilance against this cute little cloud baby.
"Ahh
Yun Baobao sneezed as soon as he opened his mouth, and her cute appearance made Her Royal Highness the princess see it, and she was about to rush out behind Green and hug him regardless of it.
Green has a black line. I also wondered what this jumping plot meant, and the listless pot of strong desire that flew down next to it was unprecedentedly nerve-free, and fed back a message to Green in a relatively normal language: "Hee-hee, smoke ball." It's a smoke ball. ”
"Smoke balls?" Green was stunned for a moment, and realized that it was talking about the cloud baby who had changed from big to small, "Its race is called Smoke Ball?" ”
The big kettle shook his head, "Smoke balls, it's smoke balls." ”
Green wondered even more, "How do you know?" ”
As a result, he was taken aback, and saw the light yellow body of the cloud baby flying over with a smile, pounced on the body of the pot of strong desire, and dragged its bottle mouth to fly wildly, and the pot of strong desire did not resist in the slightest, just rolled his eyes on that funny big face, obviously helpless.
"I'm a dog, you know!?"
This is not standard, and Green's expression is obviously the same as that of being doggy.
"Mud howl! I'm a cigarette ball...... "Yun Baobao's voice was sharp and tender, like a child, but before he finished speaking, he was thrown off by the pot of strong desire.
"Looks like I don't need to worry about it here?" The white-haired old man walked up, looked at Xiaoyun and asked with a smile, without the slightest anger of being attacked and suppressed. Green didn't know what was going on, he looked at the pot of strong desire, and saw that the latter nodded helplessly, so he had to believe it for the time being. Although this guy's nerves are twisted and weird, after all, he is a heroic spirit creature in the Immortal Monument, and each of them has the absolute trust of the first generation of sons of military uniforms, and Green, as the heir, of course chooses to believe these guys.
"Then I'll leave it to you here, and I'll do the rest." The white-haired old man smiled and left it to Green to deal with the little cloud child, while he walked over to the assassin leader, "Oh, you can put away your summons." ”
Green let out an "oh" and opened the pet space to retract the Minotaur, and the leader of the assassins was about to run away immediately, but as soon as the little old man stretched out his hand, a transparent wall rose directly to block his way, and then the second and third pieces ...... Five transparent walls locked him inside. The boy turned around and saw that the assassins who had fought with the four men with sticks were scattered and fled, but before they could run far, they were blocked by the middle and high-ranking members of the Hope Sect who had rushed back from outside, and the riots in the church on the other side were also dealt with by the Hope members, and a crisis was obviously over.
"Okay, tell me what's going on?" Green crouched down and talked to the little doll-like cloud. Yun Baobao glanced at Her Royal Highness the star-eyed princess next to her, and the pot of strong desire flew behind her, biting the corner of her clothes and dragging her away.
"Are you the son of a uniform?"
Xiaoyunbao's first sentence made Green suddenly realize. I see, this guy has something to do with the son of the uniform! No wonder I know the pot of strong desire, and the pot of strong desire will pull Her Royal Highness the princess away.
But wait, if it knows the pot of desire, doesn't that mean......
"What do you have to do with the First Highness?" Green rolled up his sleeves, revealing the strange tattoo marks on his arms. He had only been changing into the aristocratic clothes for a day, and they were all crumbling after transforming, and now he was wearing ordinary clothes that he had temporarily changed into when the smoke and dust were filled.
The little smoke ball widened its eyes, and its dark eyes were filled with water vapor for a moment, and then it cried out loudly, "Dead, they're all dead...... and then threw himself on Green's hand without hesitation, and opened his mouth to bite-
It's a pity that this little guy is just a cloud of clouds, and he has no teeth at all.
It took a little effort for Green to understand that it was to suck his own blood and carry out the blood pact of the Son of Uniform. Although he couldn't understand the intentions of Yun Tuan'er, who obviously belonged to the son of the first generation of uniforms, the young lord of Jinlunga still agreed to its request and took the initiative to conclude a contract with it.
- Nonsense, who disagrees with the good thing of pie in the sky.
Thanking his predecessors for their bequests, Green stood up and held the crying little cloud in one hand, the historical origin of the allusion, and there will be time to figure it out in the future. He turned around and asked the pot of strong desire to let go of Her Royal Highness the princess and take it back, Sefilia immediately pounced, leaned over and stared at the smoke ball wanting to touch it but was reluctant to touch it, obviously this princess is not much different from ordinary girls, although it is a heavy taste, but still likes cute things.
Green handed the cigarette ball to the princess, who immediately cast a look of surprise and appreciation, but before Green could speak, Albert's eager cry suddenly came from the psychic communication.
"Your Highness! Hurry up and save us, it's almost unbearable! (To be continued......)
