In a human-built mine not far from the city, miners were left out with their tools.

The underground mineral resources of this city are too rich, but because of the problem of those mineral essences, they can only be mined to about a few hundred meters and cannot go deeper, if they go deeper, stepping into the territory of those mineral essences, it will be equivalent to a disaster.

But today, a big man came and led a group of people down the mine.

There were three knights standing outside the mine, and in addition to two knights in white armor and full armor, there was also a golden cloak standing in the center, and the insignia of the dragon's head with a pattern on the cloak represented his identity.

A knight under the Emperor's command!

The knight standing in the center was a middle-aged man with a rugged beard, not wearing a helmet.

His name was Kenther.

In more detail, it's called Kense. Dodran is the cousin of the current Emperor Dodland XXXI.

With the royal blood flowing in his body, he became the chief head of the knights directly under the emperor!

There are countless knights in this world, excluding those groups that work in literature and art and groups that are free and similar to mercenaries, there are about 100,000 knights belonging to the empire, but unfortunately the knights directly under the emperor sound really good, but the real combat power is only the tenth at the end of the knights currently known.

And this tenth is also deliberately raised, and Kenseh knows exactly how capable his subordinates are.

As the Emperor's exclusive Knights, it is natural that his status is one level higher than that of other Knights. Therefore, they usually disdain to participate in the encirclement and suppression of rebels, robbers and monsters......

Even the knights must be on the stage, the battlefield! It turned out to be a legendary thing.

The world is so peaceful.

Keseer understood.

The tranquility is somewhat scary!

The tranquility makes people feel that their bodies are gradually rusting!

Since the unification of the empire and the fall of the court of the gods into this world, there has not been a single major war in hundreds of years!

People surrender to the fears of the court of the gods and indulge in the faith that the gods bring.

It's been a long time since humans have been fighting.

A world without war and gunpowder looks beautiful.

But Keseer was worried, a feeling of worry that had been piling up on his chest for some reason.

This beauty is like a poppy.

Once it burns, it will turn into a raging fire.

Humanity has forgotten how to wield a sword. How do you go about killing enemies......

"It's all about getting the job done." Kense's ridiculous thoughts were thrown out of his head. When people get old, they always think a lot.

One of the most important tasks that my knights have taken on in recent times is probably to capture the saints.

A mission personally issued by the Court of the Gods!

Because the Court of the Gods had promised that it would not take many people to accomplish it, Kenseh did send a small team to the designated location to capture the saint.

I haven't come back yet......

Kenseer glanced at the dense forest behind him, inhabited by the most terrifying creatures of mankind! Warcraft...

But these monsters seem to be immersed in the comfort of the world, as long as humans don't bother them. They don't threaten humanity.

It was as if the world was at the moment when the court of the gods came. There is real peace.

And next. Keseer stared at the mouth of the cave.

The second mission of this Imperial Order.

That is to bring the only surviving royal highness of the empire back to the central capital safely!

Kenseer didn't know why the emperor suddenly had an extra daughter, he suddenly had an extra niece, and the empire suddenly had an extra royal highness.

But the most respected great prophet of the Divine Dragon Church admitted that the emperor's words were true. And he prophesied, 'This will be the existence of this world.'"

So the restlessness of the civilians of the entire empire subsided slightly.

Belief in dragons has taken root in the hearts of everyone in the Empire... They won't deny what the Ryujin Church has brought.

Kenser even suspected that if there was no court of gods in heaven to deter it, the Dragon Church might immediately raise the banner of rebellion.

Because they had a knightly order no less than the emperor, and even in the hearts of the commoners, the faith was higher than the imperial power.

As Kenseer waited quietly, the lord of the city in charge of the mining offered to enter the mine.

In the prophecy, Her Royal Highness is in the depths of the earth.

It's weird......

The Minerals Plague is notoriously rampant, and no living creature can escape from the boundless sea of Minerals.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness has the same potion that the mineral spirits ignore?

The raw materials are very precious, and no one will refine them except for the alchemists of the Divine Dragon Church.

Just as a large number of questions were piling up in Kenther's head, the mouth of the black hole finally moved.

"Captain ......"

Extremely weak, with an exhausted voice, when the figure walked into the sun, he realized that it could no longer be called human.

Both the armor and the body are corroded by the saliva of the mineral spirits......

"Where's the hedic?!"

Kese's immediate provoking was out, but he fell to his knees and died as soon as he walked out into the sun.

He should have died a few minutes ago.

“……”

When Kense's saw this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

When he wanted to rush into the hole, he suddenly felt a black shadow fly out of the hole, and Kense's speed was too fast for him to care.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, he finally saw the scenery in it.

The knights, who had been corroded by the ore acid, fell to the ground, and they tried their last bit of strength to get to the surface, but the acid of the ore spirit was really too corrosive! After the human ** is stained, unless the piece of meat is cut off. Otherwise, you will have to wait for death!

"Damn it!" Kenseh slammed the stone wall next to him, and the fragile ore wall was shattered by Kense's tremendous strength: "Guards?!" Hurry up! Find the living, and bring the bodies of the victims back to Yangdu! Give it to their families......"

It was the first time in several years that the Order had seen a dead man......

A knight is supposed to gallop between swords and swords, and bury his blood forever on the battlefield in order to protect his country, the title of a hero.

But in these centuries of peace, the title of knight has gradually changed into no different from those hedonistic nobles.

A knight is not an aristocratic ......

Kenser understood...

But he looked at the frightened speechless appearance of some of the recruits after even seeing the hideous corpses on the ground, and sighed silently.

But what he feared most finally happened! These people ran back with a long time, but there was no trace of Her Royal Highness.

But when Kenseer looked up, a pair of scarlet pupils met him. It was a heroic girl. She stood among the corpses, silently staring at them, but there were no wounds on her body.

"They're all dead."

Naya stared at the stranger and spoke with a cold feeling.

"Her Royal Highness... It's really Her Royal Highness! ”

Kenser recognized Naiya's appearance at a glance. Naiya's portrait had been circulating throughout the capital a few days earlier. As the executor of this mission. If the target's appearance is not recorded, how can he have the face to come out to carry out the mission!

"They didn't die in vain!"

It suddenly occurred to Kense's sense that this was a legend belonging to the knights.........

Heroic righteousness for the protection of Her Royal Highness the Princess! This is the way a knight should die!

Although the first day they had seen the princess, it was the first time they had heard of such a noble royal highness in this country!

And now. Naya didn't hurt at all except for the torn clothes on his left arm.

Now, in Kense's mind, the cowards of the earth who had escaped from the miners had become a hero who gave his life to protect the princess.

Great comfort, isn't it? At least, there are still a few hot blood beings in their own knights, and they have not been calmed out by their blood.

But Naya knew that the blood of these people was cold from the beginning.

Because they had been killed a few minutes earlier.

What is presented now is just a few puppets, the chess pieces controlled by Lu Qiu's hands.

"Your Royal Highness, I can't explain to you the reason for the incident at this time, but please leave this mine first, okay? We will not threaten you in any way. ”

Despite being the emperor's eldest brother, Kense's identity was still a small knight commander, and in the face of His Royal Highness, even his niece had to kneel down on one knee and bow his forehead.

“……”

Naya's expression was cold, and she no longer had that emotion called 'believing' for humans. Now that life is in the hands of another person, Naya can only obey the other person's orders.

She looked at the knight who seemed to respect her very much, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

'What should I do?' ’

There is a special way of communication between the blood clans, and Naya whispered in her heart about the man who controlled her life and gave her a new existence.

What to do?

On top of a forest branch not far from the mine, there was a pitch-black life, a life called a bat.

This bat is not hanging upside down on the tree, mainly because Lu Qiu, who has been standing for so many years, is not used to doing a handstand.

It was very simple for Lu Qiu to become a bat as a vampire, he had already rushed out of the cave and sat on the branches of the tree to observe everything.

Faced with the confused and overwhelmed inquiries of his juniors.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Qiu told her what to do with a slight teasing feeling.

Just smile. ’

was originally a girl with a very arrogant personality, but she was trained by herself to become a pseudo-three-nothing.

But this is just a disguise, and Naya's expressionless appearance is just a disguise to protect herself.

Right now... It's also camouflage.

"Where is this? Who are they? ”

But it's a pity that Naya's acting skills are not good enough, and there is still a deep vigilance in her tone.

"I'll tell you everything, Your Highness." Kenseh stood up and made a gesture of please.

Outside is the world touched by the sun, away from the darkness...... (To be continued......)
