Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and a figure in a white shirt riding on a strong horneer galloped from a distance, and as it approached Zhongrao, the wildebeest slowly and spiritually stopped.

Compared to the dark clothes of the people, the white silk clothes that reflected the sun's rays looked shiny. Aemon and Clara immediately thought of the identity of the comer, and the protagonist of the next place - Queen Mia.

Since Mia has rarely been seen in recent years, there are many low-ranking soldiers who have never seen their queen up close. Therefore, he constantly looked at this richly dressed woman with a cold face with suspicious eyes, and guessed her identity in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Mia had been in a high position for a long time, and with the coercion of the superior on her body, no one spoke for a while, and there was a brief silence in the hilltop square.

"Your Majesty!" Aemon was the first to break the silence, kneeling in excitement and shame. "Please Your Majesty punish me, due to my dereliction of duty, the outsider Li Ling has completed the guidance ceremony under the leadership of Clara!"

Mia nodded expressionlessly.

As soon as Emon's words fell, Clara snorted coldly, also knelt down on one knee towards Mia, and said respectfully: "Mother, please be clear, I came here to convey your will after completing the ordination ceremony for Li Ling......

Halfway through, Clara noticed that Mia's expression had not changed, but she keenly felt that Mia's expression was even colder than when Emonn spoke. So he hurriedly changed his tone and begged: "Please ask Mother Mia to condemn her, no matter what the punishment is, even if it is my life, I will not complain!" Clara said loudly, feeling Queen Mia's anger in her heart.

To her disappointment, she couldn't feel the anger coming from Mia.

Luckily, Mia nodded at Clara as she had done with Emon.

Clara secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed a little. But Mia's next words made her nerves tense again.

"Clara, you've disappointed me so much!" Mia's voice suddenly became stern. "Do you think that if you are nothing, I will not be able to fathom your mind? You've grown too slowly over the years, and you've been too slow to react! Can't even feel my anger anymore? ”

"Mother...... Your Majesty! Clara fell to the ground in fear. When Mia wasn't here before, Clara thought she could break free from Mia's shackles and even boldly challenged her authority. But now, Clara felt that she had nothing but kneel and beg for mercy.

It's almost an instinct, and there's no room for turnaround.

But to get this far, Clara has done her best. In other words, anyone facing Her Majesty Mia may not even be able to beg for mercy.

Clara peeked at Mia again, her dress was actually the same as the previous time she had met Mia, but now Her Majesty Mia seemed more noble and dusty. It's like having a compelling glow on it.

"She is beautiful, sacred...... Perhaps, she would have been very merciful to my previous crimes. Clara pondered to herself.

"Raise your head!" When Clara was worried, Mia commanded in a cold voice.

Clara shuddered and involuntarily looked up at Mia. The black-armored knight and Li Ling behind her all felt Clara's panic and wanted to walk over to help their master. But Mia's intimidation also oppressed the crowd, repelling them far away from Clara.

Mia jumped off the horn horse, walked towards Clara step by step, reached out and stroked Clara's face, and shook her head gently: "Tsk, my child, look at your appearance, how old are you?" Not yet one hundred and forty years old, right? ”

"Your Majesty...... I am one hundred and thirty-nine years old. Clara didn't dare to slack off, and returned truthfully.

"Yes, I'm only one hundred and thirty-nine years old, I'm still a girl, my hair is already so white, and the wrinkles on my face are almost uncountable." Mia shook her head, rather regretful.

The young people around were confused by the conversation between Mia and Clara, and some even took the risk of being sensed by Queen Mia, and secretly muttered: "One hundred and thirty-nine years old or a girl?" Oh my! Wouldn't that be an old lady until she was seven or eight hundred years old? ”

"You don't know! Awakened warriors like us are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and their lifespan is much longer. Strong people like Queen Mia and Her Royal Highness Clara are naturally far beyond ordinary people. Another whispered.

The conversation between the two Rao was not loud, but it was still heard by the person next to them, and they began to mumble quietly.

"That's true, maybe more than a hundred years old is really nothing for Mia and Her Highness Clara, it's normal to live a few hundred years old."

"Yes, if a person has worked hard to cultivate great strength, and has also stood at the pinnacle of power and wealth, but his lifespan is only about 100 years old like ordinary people, why do he have to climb up so hard? Wouldn't it be nice to spend your life comfortably! ”

A few people laughed.

An older black-armored knight saw Queen Mia casually glance in the direction of him, only to feel a cold air quickly wrap himself up, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up, and immediately warned: "Shhh ”

Clara also noticed Mia's casual glance. This time, she clearly sensed the anger in Mia's heart, and instead of being sluggish and hesitant as she had just shown, Clara strode over to several of her subordinates: "What are you guys muttering here just now?" Clara hissed, looking very angry.

"We ...... Let's ......" The few people just now hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing tremblingly, but they never dared to repeat what they had just said.

"When Your Majesty Mia is here, can you talk to each other at will without special permission?" Clara asked.

"Please punish us, Your Highness!" The elder knight who warned everyone just now.

"Of course, it seems that my team is not all fools and rubbish, there are still a lot of loyal soldiers!" Clara felt the sincerity of the older knight, looked at him approvingly, and then said coldly, "You can judge yourselves and apologize!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The older knight shuddered, nodded heavily, drew his sword from behind his waist and stabbed it into his abdomen, and then slashed it towards his chest before pulling it out.

Several knights around him looked at their companion with a shudder, but no one reached out to hold him, until the older knight fell heavily to the ground, and the second walked up to him, ran his palm over his face, and helped him close his eyelids. Then he picked up the long sword from his hand, and slowly plunged it into his chest under the surprised gaze of everyone.

And then the next, the next......

Until several knights in the circle that had just gathered together all died under the same sword.

Li Ling's eyes widened, watching one fresh life after another fall one after another, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart one after another.

"Why? Why were these people deprived of their lives just for a few offensive words? Li Ling's mind was dizzy, and he knocked his head hard with his palm a few times before his mind regained clarity, and some memories that gradually became blurred came back to his mind again. He remembered that his father did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order to save more people, and he remembered that Qin Yu did not hesitate to risk offending all of them in order to save an irrelevant giant beast cub.

"They don't deserve to die in such a humble way." Li Ling couldn't suppress his anger anymore and yelled.

Everyone was attracted by Li Ling's roar. If those whispers just now were considered offensive to Queen Mia, then Li Ling's roar at the moment was obviously ignoring Mia.

"Oh? So how are you supposed to die? Clara heard Li Ling's words and walked over to him with a smile. She felt Li Ling's thoughts churning violently, as if she wanted to get out of her control. But she also believes that once the guiding ceremony is completed, no one can escape that instinctive submission!

Mia also looked at Li Ling in surprise, thinking that this guy's performance was really beyond her expectations again and again. It seems that Clara's guidance did not completely succumb to Li Ling, and he still has a strong sense of autonomy.

"Emon!" Bren, who was following Mia, quietly walked towards Aemon. Supporting his weakened body. "Mother won't be bad for Li Ling, right?"

"I don't know, Bren!" Aemon shook his head. "When I told him just now that Li Ling had completed the guiding ceremony, Queen Mia didn't have any fluctuations in her thoughts. But now, I feel that she has a little more interest in Li Ling. But it's just an interest. Compared to before, it has even weakened a little! ”

"As long as you're interested, Ming Li Ling still deserves his mother's attention!" Bren comforted himself. "However, I think Her Highness Clara can't wait to win the trust of Her Highness Mia by dealing with her subordinates and Li Ling."

In the eyes of the crowd of people talking and paying attention, Li Ling's suddenly ignited anger and excited expression suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the whole person also withered, muttering, "I...... I don't know, maybe it's an unknown corner! ”

"What if I let you die in front of everyone?" Clara said.

Li Ling was stunned, thinking that Clara was joking: "What are you?" Your Highness, is this your order? ”

Clara could feel Mia's gaze staring at herself and Li Ling behind her back, and she suddenly wanted to test Mia's attitude towards herself and Li Ling, so she said, "Yes, Li Ling!" I command you to die now, just as these men did......" Clara pointed to the corpses that had been lying on the ground for suicide. thought that if Mia really cared about Li Ling and herself, she would stop Li Ling's suicide, and then she would be safe.

With Li Ling's quality, after growing up, he will definitely bring great growth to his strength. And the growth of his own strength will also bring great benefits to Queen Mia's strength. There are a lot of debatable details in this, but Clara has figured out a lot about the Awakened based on her growth experience over the years.

When Bren heard this, he became anxious and shouted at Clara: "Clara, are you crazy? Did you go to great lengths to get Li Ling to complete your guidance ceremony, just to get him to obey your orders and judge himself? ”

Aemon was equally surprised, but instead of questioning Clara, he asked Mia, "Your Majesty, look ......?"

"I also want to know if this outsider has the strength worthy of my attention!" Mia waved her hand, and said to herself: "Li Ling, if you end it on your own like this, it will be a waste of my hard work!" ”

"Boom!" To everyone's surprise, Li Ling also picked up the long sword on Lin, and wiped the blood stains on it that had not completely dried with his palm, as if he had made up his mind to obey Clara's command.

"Li Ling! I know that the Awakened must obey their own commands, but if you think about it, do you really intend to die like this? Think about your companions, think about your original intentions, why are you here? How much effort did it take? ”

Li Ling's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be moved by Bren's words. It's a pity that in a moment, the glimmer of light disappeared again, and it turned into the solemn appearance before.

"You'd better hurry up, take care of these trivial matters, I'm still waiting to serve Her Majesty Mia!" Clara said again.

"Li Ling, don't listen to her, you are confused by her. The so-called Awakening Ritual is nothing more than a means for these people to manipulate your poor lives! Don't be stupid! Seeing Li Ling's imminent appearance, Bren was in a hurry, and shouted out the words hidden in his heart regardless of whether it was related or not.

As soon as the words came out, Bren felt that he was too reckless, and perhaps everyone would be taken aback, and they began to review themselves and the state of Rao around them, and even stood up against their master, and even his mother Mia would be affected......

"Hahaha......" Unexpectedly, Clara laughed: "Who are you saying these words to?" Poor Bren. Are they young people who don't know anything about awakening, or are they those who have completed the ritual and are bent on how to serve the Lord well? Look at it, Li Ling will definitely obey my orders. However, maybe at the last minute, I will relent and let him stop. ”

"Shameless!" Bren gritted his teeth and cursed, and set his eyes on Li Ling again. Expect him to break free from Clara's grasp.

"Huh!" Li Ling raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into his chest fiercely under the stunned gaze of everyone.
