Chapter Forty-Eight: The Power of One
Ferdinand's estate, the building closest to the lookout, has unremarkable grey walls, but it is the most unique place in the entire estate to enjoy the view.
When the sun rises, the windows of the corner tower reflect the light into the building, scattering into specks of light, and decorating the whole building into a Christmas tree full of stars.
The window facing the direction of the rising sun opened slightly, and slightly humid air penetrated through the window, and a layer of coolness suddenly rose in the whole room.
A slender figure leaned against the window, his tired expression slightly lonely. The fair-skinned cheeks were slightly pale. She pursed her lips and stared gloomily in one direction outside the city gates.
"Alas......"
A faint sigh sounded from behind her, and a middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties, dressed in simple and noble clothes, gently draped her over a shawl of dark blue velvet.
"Christine, although I know it's cruel to do so, I have to remind you that you are already a Templar, and you should be well aware of the taboos of the Templar...... In half a month, the Magic Knight Academy in Neumann City will open, which will be the most unforgettable time in your life, and only those who graduate from the Knight Academy can be regarded as a real knight. "In the beautiful woman's long chestnut hair was a pure gold hairpin, and a four-edged golden shield was attached to the hairpin, which swayed gently in a bun.
"Thank God, my old friend, Si Getu, the Great Domain Master of the Emerald Valley, will still be a professor at the Neumann Knight Academy, I have already sent him a greeting, and he has promised that he will directly enter you into the list of students in the inner sanctum of the Knight Academy, and personally guide you!"
She paused, took Christine's pale hand, and murmured, "Holy knights obey holy praise, we pursue the true, we are never fearless......"
"We are redeemed by love, and we must be cautious and reserved......" Christine muttered as she followed.
"Leron!"
"Leron!"
The beautiful woman smiled with satisfaction, no more, no less, and it felt just right. She rubbed Christine's hair in distress, bringing back the shredded hair that had fallen to her forehead and pinning it behind her ear with a delicate pin.
"You've grown up......"
"Seventeen." Christine came back to her senses, and didn't seem to pay attention to the rapid passage of time, her heart was completely filled with another thing, nothing that could break the wall of the girl's heart.
"I told the Grand Duke that after this naval battle, I will celebrate your coming-of-age ceremony on the nine-story tower of Mohatby."
The beautiful woman smiled with satisfaction in her imagination, and she looked at the girl in front of her, her eyes filled with love and hope.
"You should understand him, as the actual ruler of Mohatby, he must go on a campaign, it is his responsibility as an archduke! He wants to get back the resources and dignity of his people! Demon spirit pirates have invaded the Harilan continent on a large scale, and it has not been more than a hundred years since something so serious happened, something must have gone wrong in the original continent...... And in the temple, dear ...... This world is not something that you and I can control by ourselves, and it is not as simple and beautiful as you imagined......"
"I don't want to hear ......" Christine looked away, very bored with the subject, "So, he's going to sell my dignity, is he?" Golia-sensei! ”
"Alas...... Imperial marriages are indeed unfair, but there is no way around it. What's more, as Lord Iru, as a golden knight, only he can mobilize the power of the Sun Temple to increase the number of Mohatbi! Moreover, his third prince is already a person who has cultivated dual magic, and the combination of you and the third prince will be recorded in the history books of the Hallilo Empire! ”
"Dear Chrissy, Feynman City needs more knights to protect them, Feynman City needs you to do this!" Golia's tone couldn't help but harden.
"But what if it's him?" Christine looked out the window, beyond the tall city walls, the young man standing on the giant hammer, pointing his sword at the sky.
"No, you can't!" Goliath interrupted her angrily, her beautiful face gloomy, "You must know that as the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Hallilo Empire, it is impossible to marry a poor civilian boy who has nothing!" ”
"I don't care...... Even if you are poor, it is better than living under the control of others without dignity! ”
Christine bit her lip stubbornly, she was ready to face it all.
"He only has the second level of battle qi, and he is not even the lowliest apprentice knight...... What's more, he violated Mohatby's law and dared to openly challenge the authority of the Grand Duke and break into the Grand Duke's manor! Do you wish you were the wife of an exiled prisoner on Liberty Island? What's more, you've only met once, are you sure you don't regret making this decision? ”
"But he's here to save people!"
Christine looked away, her voice trembling slightly, she was holding back the grievances in her heart. "I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life...... I also want to repay him a favor, I owe him a life! ”
"Silly Kid ......"
Gloria sighed wistfully suddenly, she couldn't bear to criticize her favorite student, let alone Christine, who treated her as her own.
At this moment, outside the window, there was a heavy crash in the distance, as if a rock beast in the depths of the earth was roaring, and a choking gust of red dust flew up from outside the city wall, and along with it was a black and white tower-like primeval panda bear.
Immediately after, two more Panda bears were tossed up.
Each Panda bear let out a heart-rending howl in mid-air, and the sound was like a cry and begging for mercy from the depths of his soul, instead of the heroic and wild nature of his usual attacks.
"Oh my God, is he already able to challenge the siege of the primeval panda bear?!"
Gloria looked out of the walls in amazement, and from the upstairs where she was, through the window, she could just see what was happening.
I saw that the young man who had been standing on the top of the giant hammer and watching everyone had jumped into the encirclement of the Pandas, and the hammer, which was as huge as a hill, was actually grabbed by him in his hand and waved back and forth.
With each swing of the hammer, a Panda bear was smashed into the air, crossed the wall more than three feet high, and smashed heavily into the open space in front of the command post.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The huge panda bear was like a fat dumpling thrown into a pot of boiling water, and one by one it was broken, with a blue nose and swollen face.
Claude, the butler, and the rest of the knights ran out of the ambush one after another, and everyone was stunned when they looked at the group of big men lying on the ground in front of them and wailing......
"Oh my God...... How many of them came......! ”
"Did the Demon Clan summon the mammoths to help?"
"Everyone, immediately prepare for urgent battle! Holy Light Cannon Ready! ”
The chief butler made battle arrangements as soon as possible, and immediately ordered everyone to prepare, but at this time, I don't know which Panda Bear Knight, who was lying on the ground and was smashed in a circle, suddenly said a word-
"Everyone...... He...... There is only one person ......"
Only...... A ...... alone
The sound of jaws falling to the ground filled the air......
