Chapter Eighty-Six: The Deceased
When a certain "princess" is performing proudly, the real princess is only trembling in the audience.
When she woke up, she found that she had been stripped clean like a little white sheep, and was only wrapped in a cloak and thrown on the stands.
The fake princess was more capable than the real princess, which made her very frustrated, and the subsequent angel incarnation shocked her to disbelief.
Humans are a very xenophobic race, but there is a bloodline that is not only not rejected, but is repeatedly admired.
"Angels."
The first generation of the people of the Order, the messengers of God, the eldest sons of the gods who participated in the creation of the human race, have broken away from the mortal race of gods.
The frescoes of the church and the sacred hymns are indispensable in the praise of this race, and in both the epic and the novel, the angels are holy and pure, their existence itself is the will of the gods, and where their blades are pointed, they are the enemies of order.
Perhaps, it is impossible for existing angels to appear in the mortal world, which is why humans who believe in the gods of order hold them in such high esteem, after all, for the true king, the farther away from the divine power above, the better.
At that moment, Renee understood what the fake princess was doing, and secretly applauded.
"Did she really help me? Just the bloodline ability of this angel incarnation, the Arashi royal family will not be underestimated, even if the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, and with those materials, as long as we are given time. We have hope for a new rise. β
And when I saw that sword slashing Carter. Renee threw her fist and applauded. Don't say that she has been disgusted enough by that gorilla, the resentment of these days has made her have no good impression of this country.
But then, Dassos's sudden marriage proposal completely scared her.
The marriage of the kings of the two countries? It's unbelievable just to think about it, whether that man is for bloodline power or for the complete annexation of the Duchy of Donglan, he is showing his ambitions at the same time. It also showed its sincerity, and undoubtedly, this is a very important diplomatic choice.
At that moment, Renee really hesitated, if she sacrificed herself to accept this proposal, maybe her principality would have a respite, but then she thought that when the two sides of the merger were too far apart, then it was just another way of saying annexation. If the current Duchy of Donglan were to merge with the Orlan Empire, it would only be possible to annex it into one of the provinces.
"Nope. You must refuse, but a direct refusal will not only hurt Dassos's face, but also bring shame to the entire Orlan Empire. β
Obviously, this was an unprepared contingency, but with the coercion and bargaining chips of the entire empire, Dassos did not expect that he would be rejected at all.
However, the desperate situation in the eyes of the real Renee is a piece of cake in the eyes of the fake Renee.
"I'm sorry, you're a man, but what I like is women."
Dassos was full of confident marriage proposals, but he was ruthlessly rejected in person, and he didn't know how to get angry when he wanted to take the opportunity, and in the end it could only become a farce and a conversation before dinner.
The object of his marriage proposal is a special lover who likes the same sex, and this kind of rejection is probably the most helpless, but it is also the most sufficient reason for rejection - how to fall in love with different genders.
While Renee secretly congratulated herself and the Donglan Principality that she had just escaped, she also immediately realized her new troubles, and while being saved, she seemed to have been pitted by that fake Renee, and it was estimated that she would not be able to climb out of this pit in her life.
"Wait, I actually said this kind of declaration in public with my face, and then I couldn't wash it up after that? I don't have to think about getting married in my life? β
Well, tomorrow's headlines on the front pages of various newspapers have already determined that "the Emperor's marriage proposal is blocked, Princess Renee blows up her sexuality", "The secret history of the emperor's rival Swana", "Love triangle across borders and genders", there is no doubt that these must be the hottest topics in recent times.
As for Renee herself?
Under the witness of the god of light, the authenticity of her true love vow as a paladin is not questioned, and soon, with the spread of intelligence and gossip, Her Royal Highness Princess Renee's special preference for loving beauty rather than the country will spread throughout the world.
And this will inevitably become a typical example of fake play, if it is confirmed that she is normal in the future, I am afraid that this incident of deceiving Emperor Oran in public will inevitably rise to an insult to the entire Oran Empire, and the consequences will be unimaginable, then, Renee will not only be unable to explain in the future, but also try to disguise herself as an abnormal woman, and if she can't do it, she will have three wives and six concubines.
"Bastard! I'll kill you!! How can I see people here? β
Well, if Diana hadn't held her down, I'm afraid Renee, who only had light underwear inside, would not hesitate to risk going out of the ring to rush into the ring.
And when this tragedy was completely turned into a farce, more than two hours later, when the tabloids and newspapers couldn't wait to spread the news about what happened in the Royal Arena, the real and false princesses returned to the temporary embassy and sat together.
"Roland, you are Roland! You're not dead. β
"Long time no see, Sister Kelly." ββ
Due to the wonderful performance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the obscure Duchy of Donglan suddenly became a hot topic, and the temporary embassy that was originally crowded with visitors was immediately crowded, but unfortunately the door was locked, and there was no intention of receiving it at all.
In the reception room on the second floor, it was noisy.
"Bastard, I'm fighting with you. How dare you frame me! β
And in front of the angry and irrepressible girl, I was like Luo Lan, but I slowly drank iced bitter tea, this is a specialty of my hometown, I haven't encountered it for a long time, so I naturally want to taste it more.
"Can you find a better way? Neither swept the face of the Orlan Empire, but also refused to come down. You should thank me, otherwise you're in big trouble right now. β
Renee is not an unreasonable person, I am telling the truth, and immediately, Renee fell silent, she has been thinking, but don't say a better way. I can't even think of a solution.
"Who are you? Roland wouldn't call me that. β
After the initial euphoria. Hear me called. Kelly's face was a little more hesitant.
"The world is bigger, I'm bigger, Roland will never call someone sister, brother, he ......."
In the diary, Kelly was the closest person I had in the past, and I couldn't hide it as expected, but I didn't expect it to leak as soon as I opened my mouth? So, try the second title on the journal, and by the way, there's a little secret about the Wood Elves.
"Hmm. Little Kelly. The star-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck and the black mole on your right breast and left buttocks are still there. β
Hearing this, Kelly immediately clasped her hands, blushed, and stared at me with a protective pervert, and Diana, who was walking with me, also looked at me in surprise.
"I've forgotten a lot of things, but it's only natural that short-lived species can overcome the lifespan limit."
Calebrian shook her head, even though her instincts told her that the person in front of her was indeed Roland, she was still not sure.
It's a matter of weight. It is impossible to be too careful, if you get what Roland left behind. It is possible to know this, but she has a better way of testing it.
The short knife entwined by the double dragon was placed in front of him, and it was the "lamp of life" linked to the soul.
As soon as I got closer, the little white beads shone brightly, proving that this was my lamp of life.
"Sure enough, it's you little pervert! How the hell did you do it when it went off and on, and when it turned on and went out! β
Before I could react, Kelly hugged me, her excited face making one wonder if she was the calm wood elf she had just had.
"Heh, it's very simple, live and live, live and die."
Hearing this, Kelly was stunned, dead and alive, alive and dead? It's easy to say, but if you know a little about the world and the soul, you'll know that it's absolutely impossible.
"Okay, it's a rare reunion, let's not talk about these boring things. By the way, is the black and white of this lamp of life a manifestation of the soul's bias towards the order side and the chaos side? It seems that Cavins is really dark this time. β
Indeed, there could be more chaos than a demon incarnated by chaos, but to the surprise, Kelly shook her head.
"More than one hundred and thirty years ago, your soul pearl was darker than his, so to speak, are you it? That represents the nightmare of the night. β
There was a tremor in the question of the wood elf, even though the news that the Lord of the Eternal Night was Roland had been circulated among the high-level leaders of various countries, but as the enlightenment teacher of the twin stars, she had always been unwilling to believe that Roland, who was originally kind and sunny, would go far.
"Well, it's me. Back then, it was not as simple as it appeared to find out that the fall of Arashi no Kuni was as simple as it seemed, so I simply cleaned up all the suspects and accomplices. Heh, it seems like it's a bit overdone later. β
"Ah......h
"Sister Kelly!! What did you do! Why did Sister Kelly faint. β
Well, the nightmare I was most worried about turned into reality, Kelly didn't say a word, she had mixed feelings on the spot, she was angry, and she fainted and fell to the ground.
But she fainted, but left the remaining three people present, only staring at me with wide eyes, and I lost the relevant memories, and I could only know from the journal that Kelly loved me very much, but I couldn't understand this excessive reflection.
And waiting for Renee's first aid, Kelly had just come to her senses, but suddenly hugged me and whimpered lowly.
"Woo, it's all because Sister Kelly is useless that you and Cavins have suffered too much."
The people who value fall into darkness, the prince of sunshine becomes the demon king, and the strong self-blame makes Calebrian cry silently.
Tears wet my back, this familiar and unfamiliar touch makes people unable to move, this feeling of being loved and cared for by the elders is the first time I have encountered it, which makes people unaccustomed to it and makes people want to run away quickly.
"Looks like I'm looking for something that can help me regain my memory."
Obviously others are crying in a mess but I don't feel anything, and for the first time, I feel that journals can't replace memories, and some things are difficult to recover once they are lost.
Well, it took a lot of effort to persuade Kelly, who was already constantly blaming herself and crying into tears, to turn the topic back to the point.
ββ¦β¦ Will you come back? β
A trembling Kelly asked, but I shook my head.
What to do when I go back, my subjects are still in the city of Sulfur Mountain, and the current Duchy of Donglan is no longer the original country of Arashi, and besides, what kind of system will the king who has abdicated ascend the throne again, and my goal is impossible for me to limit myself to one country.
"However, I will help the country of Arashi rise again. That information already shows part of my sincerity. And then comes the main event. Start with this sword. β
γRoland Sacred Sword, Sub-Artifactγ
[Attack: 22-44+11] (+11 is a sub-artifact that is considered to be a +11 level sub-artifact, even if the weapon's lower limit damage is used, it must also add 11 unabated Silver Flame enchantment damage)
[Never Break: Even in the face of an artifact, this holy sword will not break. γ
[Arashi's royal power: The Roland Holy Sword is the symbol of the royal power of the Arashi royal family, and this holy sword can only be used if it has been approved by the king. And with the resurgence of Arashi no Kuni, it is trying to evolve stronger. But at the same time. This proud holy sword can only be used by knights who are extremely trusted by the king of Arashi no Kuni. γ
[Wind of the King: Holder Strength +2, Agility +2, Body lΓ¬ +2, Charisma +6, in the country formed by the Arashi bloodline, prestige is calculated from respect. γ
[There is a string of yellow letters on the sword body: The Roland Holy Sword is the sword of the legendary paladin prince Roland, and only his descendants and heirs of the will can obtain the approval of this holy sword.] (Conditions of use: Arashi's bloodline)]
The silver holy sword emitted a dazzling light, but I was secretly weeping, I should have known that the system was not at ease, from this point on. It's not something I can use.
Become a knight of royal allegiance? Then there will be a canonization ceremony and a fief, and the current Donglan Principality can't do it at all. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to be a knight with allegiance to someone, even if that allegiance might be my own descendants.
And even if I can use it, in my hands, this is at most a magic weapon, although such a thing is rare, but I can still find it, with the guidance of "history", I don't think it should be too difficult.
But if the crown prince and knight princess of this generation find the Roland Holy Sword, the symbol of royal power, it is simply the destiny of heaven, in this era of intertwined royal power and divine power, the recovery of lost royal power, the cohesion of the whole country will increase dramatically, and those who have been lost due to the war will also consider returning to their homeland.
At the very least, Renee's reputation for recovering Roland's holy sword will skyrocket, and she can even try to negotiate a merger with the other two small countries established by the remnants of Arashi no Country, so that with the territory and the people, there is hope for the resurgence of Arashi no Country
"Roland Holy Sword! Is this the legendary Roland Holy Sword? β
The cheering Renee had just touched the Holy Sword, but instead it was directly catapulted, but judging from the fact that she was not burned by the Holy Flame, she was indeed fully eligible for use, but she was still too weak, and the weak made the Holy Sword admit that she couldn't do it.
However, looking at this persevering princess, I am also thinking about ways to make her stronger.
"Why is Renee so weak? Is there no one to teach? β
"Renee's swordsmanship talent is okay, but it's just okay, a lot of trivial chores are on her, and there is time for her to practice swordsmanship slowly. She has no talent for magic, and the path of the Paladin and the Priest is equivalent to being cut off. Although she is very smart, she does not have a lot of time required for the mage path, so at most she can practice swordsmanship and exercise her body. Don't compare you and Cavins by the standard, the royal family of Arashi has only produced the two of you for thousands of years, which is unfair to the children of other royal families. β
I nodded, I pretty much knew what to do.
"I have a new profession just knight here, although he is a knight of the god of law, but in fact, like the paladin, he does not need to be fully loyal to the church, and he does not need the willpower attribute required by divine magic, what he needs is intelligence, what he needs is the understanding and analysis of the law......."
"Perhaps, the Principality of Donglan can contact the Church of the God of Law, if it can be used as the state religion, many things will be different......"
"By the way, there is also the cultivation of Aurora Knight, which must start from now, and it will be too late when winter comes......."
It didn't take long to get down to business, after all, it was just me talking, they listened, and it wasn't a matter of time before they finally made up their minds, but there was a personal matter that I really wanted to ask.
"By the way, Kelly, Renee, whose descendants are they? Is it mine, or is it Cavins's. β
The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, full of ups and downs, and this doubt is not a matter in my heart, so I finally asked.
"You don't know it yourself?"
Okay, Kelly's surprise was rightly true, but I could only shake my head helplessly, pointing to my head, indicating that I couldn't remember.
Suddenly, Kelly showed a heartbroken expression and then lowered her head. With weeping and complaining.
"It's enough for you to forget jΓ¬! You actually forgot our children! β
"Our children!" "Our children! "Our children! Five words echoed in my mind and in the room at the same time.
"Click!" "Click! "Diana and I both hit the ground straight to the ground. I can't close my mouth anymore.
"Bang dang." It was Renee who threw her sword to the ground. She was also dumbfounded to look at her sister who raised her, could it be that her ancestors were actually her children, should she call her grandma.
"Just kidding!!"
I'm completely overwhelmed, and the most terrible thing about losing my memory is that I don't know what I've forgotten at all, am I unconsciously forgetting my wife and children?
"Well, just kidding. I'm not married yet. β
Kelly stuck out her tongue and grimaced, don't look at her 700 years old. Among the long-lived wood elves, they can only be regarded as young women, and the wood elves are even more famous for their emotional optimism.
"Click!" This time, even the plate holding the cup was broken.
I clutched my chest and collapsed in my chair, which was really not good for my heart.
I kind of know why the journal about Kelly is so contradictory:
"Although she is as gentle as her sister and mother, she loves to joke too much, sometimes those are very deadly, don't give her a chance, otherwise you will regret it, absolutely!" I also marked this record with an asterisk.
"I almost believed it. Don't joke about this kind of thing, okay! "Okay. I confess that I am completely convinced.
"Actually, I don't know, there was a lot of war at that time. I went straight back to the Melody Forest, and when I met again, the people back then were already unrecognizable, but they should be descendants of you or Cavins, but anyway, they are all descendants of Lan, and after a few hundred years, the bloodline is naturally thin, is there a difference? β
The difference is huge! It has to do with whether I am a senior magician for more than 300 years!
Well, it's a self-destructive ugliness to say this, and it even reveals that in the past three hundred years, I haven't made progress in my love life, and I'm not so stupid.
"It should be Cavins, after all, that kid is ...... than you"
Needless to say, I know Cavins is much more popular than I am, but please don't rub salt in your wounds.
But then, the familiar body fragrance approached again, and Sister Kelly hugged me again.
"If the good memories are gone, it would be nice to recreate them. Kelly, I like the cute little Roland the most......"
As soon as we reunited, I was hugged three times, and I also understood what the note next to me meant, "Be careful to be used as a pillow".
"Sister Kelly, I'm not a child anymore."
Excessive enthusiasm, although I was a little moved, but more of it was overwhelmed, after all, half of the beauties I had come into contact with before, half of them were shouting and killing me, and the other half was smiling at me and hiding a knife, so that a beautiful woman with kindness in her arms was unprecedented, but I didn't know how to deal with it.
Suddenly, Kelly in her arms smiled evilly, leaned closer, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and gently licked my ear.
Feeling the soft touch of the tip of my ear, for an instant, I felt trembling all over, then dizzy, and hurriedly retreated.
"You...... What did you do. β
Even if I don't look in the mirror, I know that I must be choking on my red face, and now, I am completely exposed.
"It's exactly the same reaction as in the past, and he said that he is not a child, after so many years, it seems that little Roland's love life is still blank. I have also seen the Sage's Time Warp Ring, we Wood Elves are the most sensitive elves to natural life, and it is our most basic racial talent to probe the age of the ancient tree through guΓ² contact. Judging from the taste just now, your real age is far from your appearance, do you need me to guess the real age of your current physical body? β
I folded my hands and raised my hands in surrender, in the past, I was the only one who pitted people, and today I have completely met a person who can finish me, is this the experience of the elderly, but it was obviously easy when I pit the king of banshees.
"Hmph, don't underestimate people. I've watched you grow up, and your tricks don't work for me. β
It seems that it is not only the age and experience gap, but more importantly, she knows me and what she knows, while I am stuck in information and books for her.
Suddenly, as if a little dissatisfied with my defensive gaze, she hugged me again.
As I watched warily at the woman who liked to grasp people, there was a whimper behind my ears, and on my shoulder, Kelly sobbed and cried.
"It's too much, stinky Lanlan, I actually forgot about me, I still think about you all the time, I've been worrying about you, I only talk to me about business, and I don't know how to care about greetings. Let me hug it, just a moment, woo woo, bastard Lan Lan. β
Feeling the cry behind me, I couldn't move a single bit, my five senses were intertwined, and I really didn't know what to do.
I'm now sure that the woman who is also my teacher and mother is definitely my nemesis, I would rather go and fight the evil dragon alone than guess what she is going to do in the next second, and in the end, I can only helplessly let her do whatever she wants, just hug her, and hug her for at least ten minutes.
"Little Roland has also reached the age of turning an adult, if it's Roland, it's okay."
Even if it is finally released, the casual ambiguous joke still makes people not know whether it is true or not.
But looking at the green-haired elf in front of me whose eyes were already swollen from crying, but still smiling from the bottom of my heart, I felt that my efforts had one more reason.
Ten minutes later, a fire suddenly struck the temporary embassy of the Duchy of Donglan, seemingly the work of activists who were dissatisfied with the knight princess's rejection of Dassos's marriage proposal, and twenty minutes later, escorted by a small team of royal knights of Donglan, the princess and her court teachers found a new residence - a three-story bungalow.
"Welcome to the Absolute Gentlemen's Alliance of Mercenaries, where we will provide the most reliable security and the most attentive room service." (To be continued......)
