Richie made the situation so serious that he only planned to take Tina to see it. Karin didn't want to go for a break, and Retana was loyal to her duty and had to follow, and finally a team of four was formed.

Retana is a panacea, Karin is a bear, Tina is a stalker, and Li Qi has been in the state of a Thorn Priest in order to ensure that the red net has a sufficient level of pain nodes, and he is considered a plate armor priest, and the team's milk is insufficient and the output lacks combat power.

The crack was in the mountains north of the town, twenty or thirty kilometers away in a straight line, which was a distance for the team to lift their legs. However, the surrounding area of the town is densely populated, and it is convenient to take out a float motorcycle and sweep there, and it will be troublesome to be seen by the locals, so the four of them rode over.

Of course, Li Qi's gang is not afraid of any trouble, but they are not here to find trouble but to solve trouble, and it is really a lot of trouble to conflict with the high-level transcendents here.

The Holy Will Empire has not been able to conquer this place, except that Romrose has a strategic focus on the west and does not pay much attention to it, and it is also related to the high-level transcendents that it has.

The White Bird Kingdom, like the Pegasus Kingdom further west, was founded by the remnants of humanity after the collapse of the First Age Magic Empire. After several eras, the blood of the nobility and even the royal family has changed countless times, and countless upheavals have broken out during this period, but the history of the kingdom has continued to this day, and the traditional power is incomparably strong.

For example, the White Bird Kingdom, no matter how the royal family changes, this kingdom has not changed its name. All kinds of natural and man-made disasters, even if Emperor Tuduo led the army to suppress the realm thousands of years ago, or was invaded by the army of the Empire of Will with the magic weapon of the new era, they could not make this kingdom history.

In addition to the two human countries of White Bird and Pegasus and the dwarven country Anvil Fortress near the ice field in the north have always been strategic alliances, and the three kingdoms have advanced and retreated together to share glory and disgrace, more importantly, this kingdom is guarded by a powerful organization called "Twelve White Bird Knights", which lives with the kingdom.

It is said to be an organization, but it is actually a union of twelve white bird knights. Each of them has a territory equivalent to a territory and a number of people, but it is not hereditary, and only the modern White Bird Knight can claim it. Of course, they did not believe in the knightly gods of Donfin, but they all had their own beliefs, and they were all fallen gods, such as Loshanda, the lord of the dawn, or Heim, the god of protection.

The White Bird Knights are all legends, and their powers claim to be derived from faith, but the Intelligence Bureau's report notes that the power of these legends is more like the resonance of blood and the weapons they wield.

It was these White Bird Knights who continued to kill the generals of the Will Empire, coupled with the strong armor and heavy shields of the dwarves of the Anvil Fortress, and the magic cannons supported by the Dawning Empire, that the will empire collapsed here.

The lineage of the White Bird Knight is carried out through some kind of mysterious ritual, and the relationship between the previous and descendant is complicated, with both direct blood inheritance and open selection, and the only requirement is that they must be promoted to Legend before the age of thirty.

Once you become a White Bird Knight, you have to dedicate your life to an ancient oath to protect the White Bird Kingdom.

According to the oath, they were required not to interfere in the political and secular affairs of the kingdom, and only to act when the whole kingdom was in danger, and it was naturally part of this oath to resist foreign invasions.

Usually the White Bird Knight buries himself in cultivation, as well as trains his own scarce number of "White Bird Attendants", and many White Bird Knights have also grown up from White Bird Attendants. However, they also send men to patrol the kingdom to monitor all kinds of disasters that may harm the kingdom.

In this turbulent age, the Twelve White Bird Knights are overseeing the kingdom with double diligence, and in their eyes, the epoch change is not an irreversible tide of the times, but a greater challenge to the ancient oath they guard.

The White Bird Knight regards the Holy Will Empire as a foreign enemy, and the Dawning Empire is not a good thing. Under their influence, the White Bird royal family only dared to obtain technical weapons such as magic cannons through trade, and did not dare to carry out comprehensive military innovation of the kingdom, let alone allow the Holy See of Order to settle in. Originally, the Loyal God Court did not have much influence in the White Bird Kingdom, and the Holy See of Order was also regarded by the Twelve Knights as a rebellious heresy of the former.

After all, this is an ancient country that believes in fallen gods, and in the era of the Tudor Empire, although it was oppressed by the martial virtues of Tudor the Great and recognized the rule of the Emperor, it still insisted on independent sovereignty.

"Tsk, a kingdom that has existed for tens of thousands of years is a living fossil. ”

Riding on a trembling horse, as if fearing that she would be eaten, Karin expressed her feelings. It's been a month since she's been here, and it's the first time she's listened carefully to the background history of the White Bird Kingdom.

The Red Federation has also been in contact with the Twelve Knights, but these self-proclaimed "Eternal Guards" are obviously very unkind to the Red Alliance's gang, and Li Qi's team tries their best to hide themselves, just not wanting to have a conflict with them.

Letana couldn't help but ask the question that she should have thought about for a long time: "The society that has not changed for tens of thousands of years is like a microcosm of the entire Finn world, and it is even more solidified, and the class oppression should be very deep, shouldn't it be the object of our revolution?"

Li Qi said with a smile: "Therefore, at all times, we must pay attention to the principle of seeking truth from facts and analyzing specific problems. ”

The White Bird Kingdom is indeed like a microcosm of the magical world of Finn, an incomparable standard medieval magical country. Slaves, commoners, nobles, royalty, commoners and transcendents are distinctly classed. The four of them rode past the fields, and the farmers in the fields all bent down to salute, because in the eyes of the farmers, even if they were knights, they were nobler lords than them.

"The kingdom of Shiratori is not large, its area and population are smaller than that of Hadlang's, its property is also poor, its commerce is very backward, and there is not much difference in the standard of living between the various classes. ”

"Their class social model is also very strange, and there is a twelve white bird knights among the nobles and transcendents. Although the White Bird Knights do not interfere in the politics of the kingdom, the puritanical style allows them to consciously or unconsciously curb the oppression of the lower classes by the royal family, nobles and other transcendents, you must know that most of the White Bird Knights have grown up from commoners. ”

"The White Bird Knight has an absolute advantage in strength over the royal family, and he also has an unshakable righteous name. Don't you hear those children who play with Helva think that when they talk about their ideals, they all regard becoming the squire of the white bird as their most ambitious goal?"

Karin stretched her arms, which made the mount tremble even more, and she had to try to restrain her breath again.

After getting the mount done, Karin continued: "It sounds like a paradise here, the poor people are doing well, and they will not welcome our liberation, so will we not consider this place to be liberated in the future?"

Li Qi shook his head: "If this is a closed world, and the history that has been precipitated for tens of thousands of years will continue to be precipitated, then we will indeed be very embarrassed." ”

"But there will be no paradise in the world of Fein, don't you think this is the perfect example of the eternal order advocated by the Goddess of Order?

"Karin, wasn't your former Tinneway Kingdom a paradise, and how did it turn out?"

Karin sighed: "I knew you were going to make fun of my, but the problem is that I still haven't found any clues, Morquin has already touched the northern ice fields, and God knows how my ancestors wandered back then." ”

Next to him, Retana had an understanding: "So, we will definitely come to liberate here, but things have to be prioritized." We need to solve Finny's problem first, defeat the Dawning Empire first, and overthrow the Goddess of Order. ”

This guardian witch is making rapid progress, and the frustration of not being able to meet with the god's father has now dissipated, and she should realize that there is a wider world.

The four men and four horsemen came to the bottom of the mountain at trotting speed, and before entering the mountain road, they all stopped their horses, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, the two little children rushed over with their bare feet, and in the face of the four smiling faces, they screamed and braked suddenly, turned and ran, and were stopped by Karin's scream.

"Lenny, Jairo......"

Li Qi said: "I really didn't expect your legs to be so sharp, since you are here, let's follow." ”

These two children were orphans adopted by the priests of the Temple of Life, and they must have heard that they were going to venture into the mountains, so they came with them. In this kingdom, the temple also served as an orphanage, a tradition of the old times.

"Is that okay?"

"Thank you, Captain!"

The two eleven or twelve-year-old children were pleasantly surprised, thanked Li Qi for not stumbling, and then skillfully came to pull the horses and serve as attendants, which they did in the temple.

"This horse is too bad, I knew I should have ridden Ash. ”

Next to her, Karin was still busy calming the mount that was scared silly by her, this time in Richie's team, in addition to the traffic dragon Halligos, there was also the "air traffic horse" Ash.

Tina muttered, "Maybe it's a very special horse, and I can smell that you're actually ......"

Karin sighed, "Then I'll have to learn the language of the horse, and ask his ancestors if they have seen my ancestors." ”

The six of them and the four horses entered the mountain leisurely, and the two extra children, Richie, thought that he had enough strength to protect, and saw the shadows of Daniel, Sanina and Cassus in them, those little ones had grown up, and he felt that since he had the ability, he should also give these two little ones a chance.

After about two hours, they came to the vicinity of the village that the clerk had mentioned, and the original village had been swallowed up by a terrifying crack, and there was no major movement, which must have been caused by supernatural forces.

Li Qi was staring at the perspective view in his field of vision, and he carried the Source Mana Field Scanner with him, which could only scan a distance of one or two kilometers within a radius of one or two kilometers, and the effect was much smaller than that of his residence. If nothing is found in this range, the matter is closed, and he has to consider sending the Air Force's AWACS aircraft over at the risk of touching the White Bird Knight.

Looking at the sudden fluctuations of extraordinary power on the perspective view, Li Qi sighed, there was nothing to be found underground, and there was new trouble on the ground.

Two griffons swept through the air, and four figures fell, standing firmly on the ground, raising only a faint amount of smoke.

"Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

It was two men and two women, and a burly man came over first and asked in a deep voice.

Looking at the coat of arms on the man's chest, the two little boys on Richie's side exclaimed in surprise.

"White Bird Squire!"

"White Bird Warrior!"
