Chapter 7: The Mystery of the Knight and the Beginning of the War
The black knight came along the road to the palace.
The black shin armor stepped on the golden-red long carpet, and the sound of armor clashing sounded, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked into the hall step by step.
No one could see what she looked like, only that she was wearing full body armor, and even her face was hidden under the helmet.
The only thing the people on either side could see clearly were her eyes, those in the shadow of the helmet, the same dark eyes, with a look of calm and indifference.
Until Chu walked to the throne and stood still, there was not a sound in the palace.
Chu raised his head, looked at Hillman on the throne, raised a hand to his chest, and bent down to half-knees.
"May the king's glory be eternal. ”
This is what Hillman taught her, saying that it is the etiquette above the palace.
Silently, Hillman rose from the throne and picked up a sword leaning against the throne.
It was her long sword, symbolizing Reinhardt's kingship.
The dark red scabbard is carved with the coat of arms of the royal family, and the hilt of the pure gold sword is molded to resemble a roaring lion.
Holding the sword of royal power, Hillman walked slowly down the steps in front of the throne and walked in front of Hatsu.
She drew her sword, the blade reflecting the sunlight shining in from outside the palace gates.
······
In the presence of her courtiers, the queen drew her sword and placed it on the black knight's shoulder, bestowing her with endless glory and wealth, and canonizing her as the Knight of the Kingdom.
——From "The Kingdom of Reinhardt" in the 12th year of the latter period"
······
The queen completed the knighthood ceremony, and the morning council was over.
After the end of the Senate, many people were still at a loss and surprised.
They didn't understand where this suddenly appeared knight of the kingdom came from. But it was Her Majesty's decision to canonize her, and no one could argue with it.
Puzzled, the ministers left after the meeting, and Hillman would not leave until they had all left.
So when he first walked out of the palace, he stood on the side of the palace gate and waited for Hillman.
Almost everyone who came out of the palace would take a good look at the New Kingdom Knight standing by the gate, some just looking, others observing.
Until the appearance of a person.
"Is your name Chu yes, and you don't have a surname?"
A figure blocked the sunlight in front of Hatsu, and when Hatsu looked up, she saw a woman with a giant sword on her back.
The reason why it is said to be a greatsword is because the sword on the woman's back is taller than her own height, almost like a door panel.
And the woman is also very tall, half a head taller than Chu, and when she stands in front of Chu, she is enough to look down on Chu's eyes.
If she were a man, she would definitely be a handsome and beautiful man with her appearance, but as a woman, her appearance was indeed a little too heroic.
glanced at the woman in front of him for the first time, and replied indifferently and briefly.
"There is no surname, only the beginning. ”
After saying that, they lowered their eyes again and stopped looking at each other.
She wasn't interested in paying attention to anyone other than the summoner.
"Well, my name is Roland and I don't have a last name. ”
The woman before her first body also made a brief introduction to herself.
However, she didn't have any sense of closeness in her gaze, but with undisguised vigilance, and her tone was also very cold.
This woman named Roland is the first knight of the kingdom of Reinhardt, and she is also the only female swordmaster in the kingdom, and one of the only three saints in the kingdom.
It can be said that she has strategic power.
She stood in front of Hatsu, her eyes narrowed, and her eyes flashed dangerously.
"I would like to believe that Your Majesty will not make the wrong decision, but I will continue to watch you if you dare to act against the kingdom. Trust me······"
Roland stretched out a hand and placed it on Hatsu's shoulder.
"I'm going to make you regret it. ”
After saying that, she let go of Chu's shoulders and walked towards the distance with the giant sword on her back.
She didn't believe in Chu, there weren't too many reasons, just because of the cold aura on Chu's body, which made her very uncomfortable.
Chu Mu sent Roland's figure away, and his left hand pressed against the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist.
Just now she obviously felt that Roland had revealed some killing intent to her, she was very sensitive to killing intent, and her subconscious reaction made her want to draw her sword.
But she resisted the urge, after all, this was not an apostolic wasteland, not the kind of place to kill everyone she saw.
"Don't worry, Roland is such a person. There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and he turned his head for the first time.
Hillman was standing dignified at the palace gate, looking at the female swordsman who had faded away, with a smile on her face.
"She's always too tough and intimidating. In fact, contrary to her style, she is actually a very delicate person. ”
As she spoke, she walked slowly to Hatsu's side.
"When you get to know her well enough, you'll find out that she's going to be a nice person to work with. ”
She was silent at first, she didn't know how to get along with people, and she didn't plan to know about it. All she had to do was follow the summoner's orders and complete the mission.
Hillman glanced at Hatsu, seemed to see Hatsu's thoughts, and looked away.
She didn't know where the apostle came from, but in the beginning, she only saw a tool-like fate. At the mercy of others, it can be called a ridiculous fate.
If it were her, she would do her best to break free from this fate. She didn't know what she had experienced at the beginning to accept everything so indifferently.
Hillman looked at the road in front of the palace, half loud, and smiled.
But now that the tool is in my hands, it's up to me to decide how to use it.
Thinking about it, she raised a hand and handed it to Hatsu.
She tilted her head slightly and said with a smile.
"I still have some time to spare in the morning, at the beginning, will you walk with me, I can show you this palace. ”
He was stunned for a moment, but he still took Hillman's hand.
Today is a sunny day, and under the sun, even the black knight's armor is no longer so dark.
······
It hasn't been so peaceful in the royal city lately, and almost everyone is talking about one thing.
Her Majesty has canonized a new Knight of the Kingdom.
So far, however, no one knows where this knight came from, let alone why she was named one of the two tallest knights in the kingdom of Reinhardt. Some people say that this knight is a kingdom guard specially trained by the royal family, and others say that she has strong strength and will be valued by the queen.
But in any case, the knight became a figure like a mystery. Whether she is male or female, what she looks like, whether she really has great strength, no one can give an accurate answer.
The only thing people know is that her name is only one character, called Chu, and like another knight of the kingdom, Roland, she has no surname.
Rumors of knights continued throughout the royal city, and even in the taverns on the streets.
This continued until another, even more significant news appeared.
······
In the last month of midsummer, the kingdom of Reinhardt officially declared war with Plann, the land of the plains.
Under the scorching sun, the war began.
