Chapter 33: The Guardian Knight
The Hall of Heroes, this majestic building was dedicated to the heroes who have made great contributions to the natural camp led by the elves throughout history. Even among the elves, only a few of them who are great enough have managed to make it here. There are many statues of outstanding figures from the natural camp, such as the Treant Prophet Garaman Ironwood, the Druid Hero Grand Druid: Simmons Talon, etc., many of whom have left their names in the history of the continent.
However, Roger knew very well that his bizarre inventions and various improved magic plants, as well as the addition of various alien "tree people" who he called the Wood Spirit family, as well as Chinese medicine that could nourish his body and longevity, were enough for him to enter this Hall of Heroes after death. Of course, he must be wearing a title such as "scholar" in the last place, and Roger is not going to enter the Hall of Heroes with these achievements.
Generally, the canonization ceremony of new heroes is presided over by the elven queen herself, and here she is recognized by the representatives of the various races of the natural lineage.
However, it is clear that Luna is not here for this purpose, after all, even if Luna is the third princess of the elven clan, she is not qualified to summon representatives of the various clans.
Entering the Hall of Heroes, under the noses of the strange-looking Elder on Duty, Luna pulled Roger to the center of the hall.
Seeing that Luna suddenly took out a ceremonial sword, Roger didn't know what was going on, and quickly knelt down on one knee.
"Jack Rowe! Will you be my Guardian Knight? Luna asked with a smile, and she directly omitted most of the ritual process, causing the Elder on duty to frown.
"Lead by my blood! By my real name, Covenant! Under the watchful eye of the gods, I swear! I will do my best to protect Luna Celena! For the shield! For the sword! I will keep my vows for the rest of my life! Compared to Luna's ease, Roger made an oath with a stern face, not to the heroes enshrined in the Hall of Heroes, but to his own heart.
Seeing Roger's serious face, Luna also put away the smile on her face, which made the face of the elder on duty on the side suddenly look a lot better.
When Luna solemnly slapped Roger on the shoulder with her sword, and then handed the sword to Roger, a pillar of light suddenly emitted from Roger's body.
The heroic statues of the Hall of Heroes emitted light in unison, and slowly separated from the statues one by one balls of light, as the balls of light merged into the pillar of light on Roger's body, the innermost halo under Roger's feet slowly turned into a tender green.
The pillar of light exploded into countless points of light, half of which returned to Roger's body, and the other half continued to surround Luna, eventually merging into Luna's body.
"Licheng!" The Elder on duty let out a loud shout, then waved Roger and Luna away without hesitation.
In the eyes of the elder on duty, it is too nonsense to think that the third princess would act so recklessly and casually appoint a guardian knight! Even if Roger's oath is sincere, and even if it is recognized by the heroes of the past generations, it can't change the perception of the elders on duty!
Out of sight is pure! Out of sight is pure! The elder on duty muttered in his heart, but his subordinates drove more diligently.
Roger and Luna didn't resist either, after all, Luna's approach was so deviant that they left the Hall of Heroes.
Anyway, Luna's purpose has been achieved, and Roger, who was named the guardian knight of the elven princess, naturally belongs to the camp of the elves, and it is far more effective than the canonization of the elven queen! After all, the guardian knight is actually equivalent to the princess's fiancé, far higher than the status of ordinary canonized heroes, almost equivalent to the elven royal family's personal battle.
Judging from the system prompts obtained by Roger, the bonus of the Guardian Knight is quite a lot.
"Earn a new title: [Guardian Knight]"
"[Guardian Knight] Title Effect: +10 affinity for all classes of the Natural Faction (effect is equivalent to diplomacy)"
Moved by his heart, Roger couldn't help but hug Luna. You know, the canonization ceremony of the guardian knight was originally equivalent to the engagement ceremony of the elven royal family, but Luna held it so simply, and directly omitted most of the ritual steps! That's why the Elder on duty is so unhappy, in the eyes of the old-fashioned Elder, Luna is so rebellious! This is not much different from the average ordinary people's private life, how can Roger, who knows that Luna is just for himself, not be moved?
Luna struggled slightly, and when she saw that Roger was holding her tightly, she naturally gave up the struggle and leaned on Roger with a shy face.
With the canonization of the Guardian Knight, Roger is already Luna's de facto fiancé, even if the elves protest again.
"By the way, I'll leave this team of elite Phantom Shooters to you! My knight. Luna said playfully.
But Roger was directly shocked by this sentence!
Phantom Shooter! The strongest marksman unit in the continent of Elia!
Roger finally knew what the strange feeling was before, that is, he clearly felt the threat of his life, but the other party did not have any hostile strong sense of disobedience!
If a team of magic archers can already threaten the dragons, then a team of phantom shooters can undoubtedly slay dragons!
Phantom Shooter
Race: Elf (Terrans can also train as Phantom Marksmen)
Rank: Rank 8
Class characteristics: No range penalty, ignoring obstacles, armor-piercing arrows, 100 shots.
The ten Phantom Archers under Luna's command have all reached the eighth order, all of them are sixteenth-level top strength, and the average ranger unit is no different from the average Ranger unit on the outside, all of them are wearing dark green cloaks and white light armor, and they are wearing tight black leather clothes inside, but the longbow in their hands is two sizes larger than that of ordinary archer troops.
Somewhat peculiarly, the cloaks of these eighth-order phantom archers all have a gold rim.
Unlike ordinary alchemy troops, even if they have not awakened, Phantom Marksman, as a hidden class, has enough wisdom! The difference between the Phantom Shooter and the awakened alchemy creature is already only a name and enough self-awareness! Sometimes after a fierce enough battle, often the whole team of Phantom Shooters will awaken en masse!
This is the real trump card of the elves!
And apparently, this is Luna's royal guard for the Elven royal family! That strength up to the eighth order is proof of this! For alchemy soldiers, entering the top tier and not entering are two different concepts entirely! You must know that the strength of alchemy creatures is generally stronger than that of ordinary professionals, and they are not afraid of death! Eighth-order troops, such as alchemy dragons, angels, and demons, are enough to fight against level 20 Terran professionals!
And there are a full ten eighth-order phantom archers here!
And she just gave it all to herself!
Roger didn't know what to say, so he hugged Luna tightly and kissed the seductive red lips gently.
Now that the Golden Bow had been delivered to the Elves, Roger, who had nothing to do, decisively left with Luna and the Phantom Marksman.
It is said that the young elves who learned that Her Royal Highness Princess Luna and the bastard druid had made a guardian knight's oath relied on the elven specialty fruit wine to drown their sorrows, and the morale of the entire young generation was low for a whole month.
Even the grapevine said that some elves also tried to storm the elven royal court, but they were caught by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was not in a good mood recently, if it wasn't for the timely intervention of Her Royal Highness the second princess, Milia, those daring elves would probably have been left with a lifelong psychological shadow because of some terrible actions of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who was furious......
As soon as the news came out, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who might not have been able to get married, now had fewer suitors. After all, there are elves who are not afraid of death, and male creatures who are not afraid of the divine skills of the root of life are really rare.
But none of this has anything to do with Roger.
Roger, who teleported to Luye City, originally planned to visit Marceau, the legendary hero of Luye City, but was told by the guards that Master Marceau personally led the troops to patrol the border, and Roger had no choice but to return to Emerald Town with his troops.
Just when Roger was practicing in the Hero Academy, the high-level elves led by the elf queen unanimously voted to put the elves under martial law, and the reason for the announcement was that they had found traces of the demons, (not lying, Roger did find traces of the demons, but not in the territory of the elves.) )
In this regard, in the southern region of the Falcon Principality near the northeast side of the Misty Forest, because the Terran forces led by Cardinal Xiba of the Dawn Church and the hellish forces led by the Devil Barak Baron Garton, who possessed Viscount Barak, were in a fierce battle, they did not have the time to pay attention to the movements of the elves.
The lion principality in the northwest was nervous for a while, but after discovering that the elves had only strengthened the border guards and had no other actions, the riot was quickly quelled. After all, over the years, the elves have completely shrunk into defense, and the elves generally do not take the initiative to attack the outside world at all, so the nobles of the lion principality have begun to live a life of drinking and drinking again.
In Siekerd, the merchant capital of the Free Federation on the southeast side of the Misty Forest, the mercenary king Lance Saudgael was deeply puzzled by the elves' actions. After all, there are many elven mercenaries in the Free Federation led by the mercenary kingdom of Gelaru, and if there is really a trace of the demon in the elven territory, the elven royal family will definitely recall all the elven mercenaries.
But it has been nearly a week since the news of martial law was received from the entire elven clan, and the elven clan has not recalled any elven mercenaries.
At the same time, as one of the very few Terran forces that are friendly with the elves, as the mercenary king of Gelaru, King Lance, who has submitted wartime alliance agreements to the elven royal family many times, has not received a reply from the elven royal family so far.
You must know that the Duchy of Gelaru, which had been independent from the Griffon Dynasty several generations before the Demon Calamity, was able to gain a foothold in the south of the Falcon Principality with the help of many alien forces and eventually form a mercenary kingdom. The royal family of Geralu, who has been friends with the elven royal family for generations, has always had an alliance with the elven royal family, and it is rare for the elven royal family to have no response like this, and I remember that the last time this situation occurred was a hundred years ago when the elven royal family was raided by the drow elves of the drow forces of the dungeon forces. But in the past two years, although the internal strife of the Drow elves has gradually subsided, it should not have the strength to attack the elves in a short period of time.
So something big happened in the elven royal family?
The helpless King Lance couldn't help but smile bitterly, if something big happened in the elven royal family, he really couldn't help as an ally.
"Knock knock."
"Come in." When he heard the knock at the door, King Lance knew that it was his precious daughter who had arrived, after all, no one dared to disturb him while he was alone in his study.
"Daddy! Are you still worried about the elves? Don't think about it so much! Just do what we can! As she spoke, Alice, who had the same gorgeous blonde hair as King Lance, burst in.
Looking at the daughter who completely abandoned the previous aristocratic lady style when she went out, King Lance was happy on the surface, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
As his only daughter, Alice's talent is actually quite good, but she stubbornly chose the family heirloom sword technique crazy sword technique that is not suitable for women to cultivate, which makes her strength improve slowly. But after going out this time, this girl seemed to have opened her mind, and she successfully broke through to the high level.
But if you want to inherit the throne, it is not enough to have strength at all, and it is quite difficult to become a king as a woman.
Laughing and teasing his daughter, King Lance secretly made a decision in his heart: It seems that he should plan for his daughter earlier, after all, if the elven royal family and other allies suddenly become unreliable, the royal family of Gelaru will face an heir crisis.
