Chapter 79: The Flag Bearer

In order to convince the Legion Commander of the Flame Legion to help him, Aychen followed Von Man to the Burning Castle on the outskirts of Spire City, where he was waiting in the reception room for an audience from the Legion Commander of Galia.

The reception room is a dark stone room with several smoky torches hanging from the walls. It can be seen that the process of civilization in this world is at a rather low ebb, somewhat similar to the dark Middle Ages.

According to the Voice of Enigma's account of the alternation of civilizations in this world, the civilization that once had the ability to turn land into an empty island has been extinct for 30,000 years. I don't know to what extent the magical power of this world has been restored.

Sitting on the creaking wooden chair, Aichen noticed that Shanti next to him seemed to be a little nervous, his hands cramped on his knees, his eyes were already aimed at the floor, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"Shanti?" Aichen called out to her. "Are you hungry, let Feng Man invite us to dinner in a while. What do you want to eat? ”

Shanti shook her head. She was nervous, after all, she had successfully arrived at the base camp of the Fire Legion, and she would be able to meet the Legion Commander immediately. She wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about her parents. The swaddling flag that wrapped her back then was being carried in her arms, and she might be able to investigate some clues, or maybe she could find her parents' names and surnames. Maybe nothing.

Regardless of the outcome, the wait is just as nerve-wracking.

As an orphan in Rust Village, Shanti does not have a so-called adoptive father and mother, and was brought up by everyone in the village. When she was a child, everyone was always worried that she would not be able to support her as a fatherless and motherless child, and often gave her the precious meat she got to eat, which directly caused her to eat the meat of the creatures in the clouds as food and build a good body.

For such kindness, Shanti, who has nothing to repay, has decided to be a Rust Village person for the rest of her life, even if she finds her parents, even if her parents are still alive, she has no intention of leaving the village.

Ai Chen saw that this girl was preoccupied, and he was a little worried.

"Let me tell you first, I need you to show the power of the green beast in a moment. If anyone is judgmental of you, I hope you can bear with it, and this is also to deal with the beast tide after 30 days. ”

Regarding the beast tide, Shanti still has no sense of reality. She believed in Aichen, a sage in the clouds, and was willing to help, but she didn't believe that disaster had struck.

After waiting for a while, Galia finally agreed to the meeting and had Aichen and his party taken to her office.

After opening the door, Shanti saw a huge banner standing beside the bed, with gold on a black background, painted with a raging fire, scorching a broken sword—fire to eliminate disputes.

The flag bears a strong resemblance to the one in her arms.

After Aichen saw Galya, he didn't say a word politely, and said straight to the point: "I brought bad news, and I must spread this news all over the country." ”

Galia sat behind the bookcase and nodded with a straight face, "What do you have to say?" Say, I'll hear it. On the desk, there was the novel she had almost finished.

Aichen's account is very brief, emphasizing the inevitability of the occurrence of the beast tide, and then giving his own solution. These include concentrating on holding Spire City, including using the Blue Beasts to fight.

Hearing this, Galia did not immediately state her opinion, but asked about Achen's identity.

"I heard that you claim to be a sage in the clouds. I don't know if you know, every year in Spire City, there are some liars who claim this, and they often predict the end of the world. ”

"What, you don't believe me?" Aichen knew that things were not going so well. "Then let me prove it."

"Proof?" Galia was curious, "Are you planning to turn into a big bird and take me to the Sky Island to meet your 'Sage in the Clouds' friend?" ”

It's not like Aichen hasn't done this kind of thing like changing birds and taking off, but now he doesn't have the ability.

"I can't prove myself as a sage in the clouds, but I can prove that I'm not one of those crooks who appears more than once a year. I'm still a bit of a real thing. ”

With that, he walked up to Shanti and asked her to turn into a green beast for the Legion Elder to see.

In fact, the so-called 'proof', to put it bluntly, is just giving 'chips'. He planned to show off the power of the green beast, and then use the green beast spirit as bait to ask Galia to help him introduce the king.

Shanti didn't reply, but put her hands on her chest, took out the flag that she had wrapped herself in her arms, and unfolded it for the few people present to see.

Several people frowned at the same time when they saw this flame flag. Shanti timidly said: "I am an orphan who was abandoned by my parents when I was a baby. I was wrapped in this when I picked it up. I want to find my parents! ”

When Galya and Feng Man heard this, they all frowned.

"Want to find your parents with a flag? It's a bit hard. Galia shook her head, "And this flag is not mine, it is the flag of the previous flag bearer." You take a closer look at the broken swords destroyed by the flames on the banner, one is a sharp sword, and the other is a blunt sword. ”

After being reminded, Shanti found that the pattern of the flag was different, and her broken sword was very blunt and mottled, full of rust. But she didn't know what that little distinction meant.

Seeing that she looked ignorant, Galia explained, "Have you heard the founding story of our Golden Crown Kingdom? Three birds, three beasts and three reptiles, the story of regaining the light for the world with the Golden Crown. ”

The area that Aichen traveled through belonged to the 'Golden Crown Kingdom'. The nobility of this kingdom is not a count or duke, but a group of people called 'flag bearers'.

There are a total of nine families in the Golden Crown Kingdom, each holding three bird flags, three beast flags and three reptile flags, each flag symbolizes a force, and the king is the Golden Crown royal family in charge of the spire city.

In mythology, the first king of the Golden Crown Kingdom relied on the help of birds, wild beasts, and reptiles to find three treasures that symbolized light—fire, glory, and wisdom.

In addition to the nine Great Banners, there are three 'Flags of Light', which are held by the commanders who control the three major legions, namely the Banner of Fire, the Banner of Glory, and the Banner of Wisdom.

The nine families of birds, beasts and reptiles have been passed down from generation to generation, but the banner of fire, glory and wisdom often changes hands.

Galia explained to Shanti, "The owner of your banner rebelled twenty years ago and was basically dead, and my family is the new flag bearer. Judging by how you look like you're not twenty years old, maybe your parents bought this expired flag at a thrift stall as a cold thing, and you shouldn't have anything to do with my Fire Legion. ”

Her argument deliberately avoids another possibility - Shanti is a remnant of the rebels. Feng Man, who was on the side, saw that his boss didn't mention it, and he was very relieved for Shanti.

Galia still likes this little girl who looks a little timid, and she doesn't want to deduct the from twenty years ago on her. After all, the flag bearer of the previous generation of Agni Banner has long been dead, and even if there are descendants, it is impossible to set off a storm, so why should I embarrass a little girl?

Even, because Shanti has such a 'tragic color', Galia felt a trace of pity when she saw her.

Ai Chen listened to it for a long time and had a certain understanding of the aristocratic system in this world. Feng Man took advantage of the gap to add some, "There are also some small noble flags in the kingdom, all of which are issued by the Golden Crown Royal Family. Together, these people are quite powerful. ”

After roughly figuring out a basic situation, Aichen forcibly reversed the topic. Order Shanti to turn into a green beast and show it to Galia.

Shanti complied, and her body slowly changed. First the head, then the skin, and soon turned into a green beast warrior.

Aichen said to Galya with a smug expression: "This girl ate a kind of treasure I gave her called 'Green Beast Divine Soul' and gained the ability to transform. Now she can deal with your ten soldiers at the same time, and there is still room for growth. I still have some of this green beast spirit, and I need to distribute it to those who can fight before the beast tide comes, and everyone will survive the disaster together. ”

As he said this, Galya's expression became extremely gloomy, and her teeth creaked. In the eyes of the commander of the legion, the cute little girl named Shanti in front of him has become such a weird and ugly appearance because of some bullshit and fake sage.

Whether it was the heavy blue-gray skin or the four blood-red round eyeballs on the forehead, all of them were extremely disgusting.

While holding back her anger, Galya swept over the novel on her desk and thought of the liar in the novel, the villain who deceived the protagonist into misery, and he was heinous.

Look at Archen again...... The two characters gradually overlapped.
