306 The Secret of the Kerter Family
Many things, when they don't need to be known, are kept as secrets forever. And when it needs to be known, it will no longer be a secret.
Kuta asks Koster to return to the family estate to find the secrets of the Koster family, and Uncle Drew tells the Koster family a shocking secret when he first meets him.
"Master Koster, the Koster family has never been a small country aristocracy, and our history goes back to the First Continental War. The ancestors of the family were great knights, but they were unwilling to accept praise in a high-profile manner and chose to live in seclusion at the foot of Sunset Mountain. ”
Kerst listened to Uncle Drew and had a little hunch. Whether it was Kuta, the Great Elf King, or the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan, they all said that there was something terrible in their blood. That can only show one thing, the Chester family has a terrible history.
Drew took Koster to the deepest part of the castle, where Master Koster used to be.
Although the castle is not large, it is quite dilapidated. Before, Kerst had never taken a good look at the castle. But when he came back this time, he began to discover the castle of Kester, which was full of strangeness.
Speaking of the main body of the castle, in the countryside of the remote and small country of Kaman, a castle with an overall stone structure is actually rare. Taking advantage of Drew's unpreparedness, Kster quietly scraped the wall, and found that under the black stains, there was still a stone that was still strong and abnormal.
Drew walked slowly in front, Kerst followed, and they came to the previous castle owner's room, which was the very top of the castle.
Kerst looked at Drew suspiciously, not understanding his actions. Drew didn't explain, but walked to the wall facing the bed. There was a dirty tapestry hanging there, and I don't know which master of the Kester family had collected it.
Drew stepped forward and ripped the tapestry off, and the walls behind it were as dirty and smudge-covered as the rest of the castle. Drew didn't care so much, took a few steps back, carefully estimated the distance with his eyes, lifted his cane, and tapped lightly around the wall.
"Chester, what I'm doing now should have been told to you by your father. It's just that he died urgently, so I'll do it for me. ”
As he spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop. After the tapping, use the cane to slowly slide along the place where you just struck.
Kester's eyes lit up, and on the wall, a golden pentagram suddenly lit up, and in the next second, the wall began to fold like a dream, revealing a hole in the back.
"Golden Pentagram!" Chester had no idea that in his family castle, where he lived day and night, there were still secrets of magic hidden.
"Come in, sir. Drew was at the wall, waving at Koster.
Kerst didn't hesitate, took the candle from Drew, and bent down to walk in.
There wasn't a lot of space behind the wall, just a small wooden table. It seemed that time had passed, and the legs of the table seemed to be corroded badly, leaning against the wall, crumbling.
Koster stretched the candle forward, and on the table by the firelight, there was a parchment book and a metal box.
"What is this?" Kerst looked closely, unable to see why. Looking around, there was nothing else, and he picked up both with some confusion.
"Master, I won't bother you, just wait outside the house, if something calls me. Drew bowed, left the bedroom, and closed the door.
Koster sat down cross-legged and opened the metal box first. There was only one side of neatly stacked golden cloth in the metal box.
Kester opened it and found it to be a heraldic banner, and on the golden cloth, it was a fire-breathing dragon!
"Whose heraldic flag does this heraldic flag belong to?" said Koster, puzzled.
Puzzled, he picked up the parchment book and opened it, which seemed to be a record composed of diaries.
On September 7, the assault on the Magic Empire reached its most difficult moment. The offensive and defensive battles on the outskirts of the Magic Empire's capital were suffocating, with more than 10,000 casualties in a single day, and if it weren't for the magic of the High Priest, the collapse of the Rebel Coalition was just around the corner.
However, the Magic Empire's armies were not feeling good, and I, along with Aphrodite, burned a large amount of heavy food and grass. Aphrodite's right wing was hit with two spells. The caster was somewhat damaged, and the Dark Corrosion caused Aphrodite to lose several pieces of scale armor.
Tomorrow's battle, an army without bows and arrows, what do I see them doing?
On October 8, after crushing the last of the Magic Empire's army, the rebel coalition besieged the Magic Empire's capital. The archon raised a super defensive barrier in the imperial capital, and even Aphrodite had no way to break through. After trying a few times during the day, her dragon flame was able to spray inside the barrier, but she couldn't get in.
However, the Grand Priest said that there is a limit to the magic enchantment, and after suffering a huge amount of magic attacks, there will be a moment when it cannot be supported. At that time, the 100,000 troops outside the city will not be able to resist the people of the Magic Empire. The meaning of the coalition headquarters is to let the five-headed dragon concentrate the magic attack on the frontal defense tomorrow morning, and all the mages will cooperate.
Let's hope everything goes well tomorrow, I heard that the magic of the archon is thorough, and even the dragons are no match. Oh, my Aphrodite, I hope all is well.
On October 9, the final offensive began. The Great Elven King and the Great Priest were the leaders, and behind them were more than three hundred magicians, and in the sky, I, along with the other four dragon knights, stepped on our dragon and acted together.
Aphrodite, what a graceful golden dragon she is, the red dragon, the green dragon, and the frost dragon around her are not as good as her temperament.
Ah, I can't think about it, the Great Elf King is already raising his hand to signal that the attack is about to begin.
October 10th, Double Tenth Festival, I don't want to write more today, I'm so tired. The magic barrier has been broken, and the ground army has entered the city. A fire began to burn in the city, and Ilya was told that the archon was dead. But no matter what, I'm really tired and want to rest.
On October 12, something happened.
Aphrodite felt unwell. During the attack the day before yesterday, we were besieged by several super magicians, and Aphrodite was hit by several spells, and the battle was so intense that neither she nor I noticed. When she came back, she also said that she should cultivate well.
Today, however, Aphrodite can't even climb up. Both the Great Priest and the Great Elf King had come to visit, but he couldn't help it. The body structure of dragons is completely different from that of humans and elves...
Ilya said that he would help inform the Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan.
The following records are somewhat sloppy, and it seems that the text has been eroded over time. It took a number of pages to go back before the record continued.
On April 5th, I left the capital of the Magic Empire. Now it has a new name, Kyoto Castle. The people of the Union of Scholars are ready to form a new nation on this land.
I don't care, though. In the morning, after bidding farewell to Ilya and them, they were going to follow their mounts to the dragon's lair, and I watched them leave with envy. Ah, my Aphrodite, how good it would be if you were still alive!
"What! the dragon is dead!" Kerst shuddered at the sight of this, and it seemed that there was still a lot of information on the broken pages in the middle.
The High Priest approached me, and he said that he was going to the Sunset Mountains in the West, and asked me if I would like to go with him. I thought about it for a long time and thought it seemed like a good idea.
The High Priest ceased to be my friend a long time ago, but war, this damned war, brought us together again.
This damn war.
On May 7, the planned trip was delayed until today, and a fierce dispute broke out between the Grand Priest and the Scholars Alliance. The barbarians also left. It seems that everything in the world is like this, and when the enemy is gone, there is no need for the alliance to exist.
However, it was still very easy for me and the Grand Priest to set off, although we are not young anymore, and the Grand Priest and I are still single. The high priest joked that when he went to the West, he might be able to find a few beautiful girls to live with.
But I don't want to, I just like my Aphrodite, the abominable dark magic!
On June 18th, ah, what did I see? the majestic sunset mountains, the hills and fields, the warm sunshine and the warm breeze. What a beautiful scene, the high priest asked me how long it had been since I had seen such a sight.
I think about it, after becoming a dragon knight, I fly around the sky every day, and I don't have time to enjoy this beautiful world.
Oh, I'm going to build a manor here, I'm going to live here!
On December 13th, the first stone of the estate arrived, and I was ready to build my estate. The reward given to me and the Grand Priest by the Rebel Coalition has also arrived. I heard that the Grand Priest will be the Duke of Carman in the future, and I seem to be called the Marquis of Kist. Hey, it's ugly, I don't like the Marquis.
Go back and discuss with Duke Carman, just call me Knight Lord Knight of Khor, he is my lord, I just want to live here in peace and seclusion.
The headquarters of the Rebel Coalition is also funny, and the lowest level of nobility is actually called a knight lord. Also, I heard that the divided list is not reasonable, and many people have opinions. The chief priest said, "If you can't do it, you have to fight."
Hey, why is there another war, isn't this just the battle against the Magic Empire! Barbarians, the League of Scholars, and the rebellious nobles of the Magic Empire are not convinced by each other, and they are arguing!
Fortunately, I am wise with the Great Priest, at least in this land, no one can bother us. I heard that the supporters of the High Priest will also appear soon, and he is going to establish a new country in this land, so he will name it after his title, well, the Principality of Kaman, that sounds good.
On January 1, we were informed by the coalition headquarters that a new era had begun.
In fact, the headquarters of the coalition forces has long existed in name only. But leave it alone, the High Priest told me that the ring coat of arms I drew was too ugly. Hmph, his golden jasmine is very good-looking.
In the back, there was another large pile of invisible, corroded fragments. However, these words alone have shocked Kerst beyond measure.
"We, the Kesters, have always been the Dragon Knights?" muttered.
