Chapter 23: The Oath
Now in the entire living room, there are only Queen Heaney, Xu Mu, and Ai Lu.
Ai Lu was very strange, obviously their needs had been met, why did Xu Mu have to do more? But she had always been obedient and rarely disobeyed Xu Mu, so she stood quietly next to him.
"Queen Heaney, why don't you pray with a light shield, I'm afraid our conversation will be heard by outsiders. ”
"Oh?" Queen Heaney got up from the main seat, obviously Xu Mu didn't have any capital, but she spoke very hard, and she kept asking her without care, which really whetted her appetite.
A black magic mark appeared on Queen Heaney's body, and she didn't even move her mouth, and gently raised her sword staff and struck it on the ground, and suddenly the entire interior of the meeting room was covered by an inky light-shaped shield.
Is it a dark magic seal... Xu Mu looked at the magic mark that appeared on Queen Heaney's body, and couldn't help licking his upper and lower lips, after all, he had been pursuing magic for nearly half a year.
"Now let's talk. ”
"Yes. Xu Mu smiled lightly, "Actually, I mainly want to ask Queen Heaney for one thing." ”
"Do you still have requirements?" Queen Heaney couldn't help but laugh when she heard what Xu Mu said: "Civilian, do you know who you're talking to? I'm the supreme leader of Heaney's Kingdom, and you've repeatedly made demands and conditions to me... If you can't tell me anything that interests me later, there is no need to talk about the knight candidates! ”
"Naturally, I won't let Queen Heaney down. Xu Mu pressed his right hand on his chest and saluted, "Actually, I want to borrow something from Queen Heaney." ”
"Borrow something?"
"I want to use the Royal Family's Magic Awakening Stone with Queen Heaney. ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Queen Heaney, Ai Lu felt that Xu Mu was crazy, and she didn't do anything or say anything, just desperately put forward the conditions on the side, she was a little scared and stretched out her hand to hold Xu Mu's hand.
Xu Mu felt the warmth in his hand, and when he turned around and saw Ai Lu's face full of worry, he responded gently to comfort Ai Lu and signaled that it was okay.
"Oh, why should I promise you? ”
"If Queen Heane is unwilling to lend me the Magic Awakening Stone, I'm afraid that when I go to the Magic Academy, Queen Heane will be in big trouble. ”
"It's funny, tell me, what the hell is in trouble with me?" laughed Queen Heaney.
Xu Mu took out a magic identification stone from his waist bag, which he bought in the capital during this time, but fortunately, this is in the capital, not a mountainous place, otherwise he would not be able to buy this thing if he has money.
"Mana Identification Stone?"
"Yes. Xu Mu took a deep breath, held the magic identification stone in one hand, and put his thumb to his mouth on the other side and bit it down fiercely!
He wanted to use a knife, but unfortunately he was scavenged by the slaves.
The thumb bit through the skin, and the blood flowed out, and Xu Mu leaned the dark blue magic identification stone towards the blood.
Ai Lu and Queen Heaney both knew what Xu Mu was doing, and Xu Mu wanted to show his magic compatibility in front of them, but what was the point?
Could it be that this Xu Mu can make the magic power identification stone glow with colorful light?
Queen Heaney couldn't help but laugh, and began to feel a little bored in her heart, she sat back on the throne very lazy, after all, there are many noble children who are very conceited about their magical abilities, and she has seen a lot of these people.
However, he only adapted to one or two systems of magic, and boasted about how good he was, as if the kingdom would be without him, it would be a big loss for the kingdom.
Queen Heaney, who was lazy on the throne, was bored when suddenly the scene in front of her made her stunned.
Even the inky eyes of Ai Lu, who was on the side, were full of incredulity.
After the magic identification stone Xu Mu was holding in his hand touched the blood, it began to emit light, and the color of the light was sometimes red and blue, sometimes white and sometimes black, and then evolved into three colors: yellow, green, and black.
Under the light of this colorful color, Queen Heaney finally came to her senses, and she stood up in shock.
Then Ai Lu's red lips opened slightly, and he stretched out his hand towards the magic identification stone in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
Xu Mu didn't mind, and smiled and handed the magic identification stone to Ai Lu's hand.
Ai Lu felt the hot heat of the magic identification stone in her hand, and looking at the colorful light in front of her, she finally knew that none of this was an illusion, it was real!
Then the light of the magic identification stone disappeared, and the originally dark blue gem turned into a white clay block, and Ailu turned into ashes with a slight pinch.
"You... Adapting to the Seven Lines of Magic?!"
Xu Mu looked up and saw that Queen Heaney was no longer a leisurely and smug look, but a stunned look, and he couldn't help laughing: "Just like Her Majesty saw it." ”
"You... Why did you never tell me?" said Ellu, who seemed a little sad, holding the ash in his hand and bowing his head.
Xu Mu touched Ai Lu's head and said with a smile: "Won't I tell you now?" Otherwise, when I was on the way, I told you that I can use seven-system magic, do you believe it? Could it be that I will also buy a magic identification stone certificate for you on the road? How expensive it is, I am reluctant! If I hadn't come to see Her Majesty the Queen this time, I wouldn't have been willing to buy it. ”
"Who the hell are you!" asked Queen Heane aloud.
Xu Mu was stunned: "Why did Her Majesty ask so." ”
"Magic has been born in this world for hundreds of years, and no one has ever been able to adapt to the seven-line magic! The world's most famous magician has only been born to adapt to the four systems, and the acquired to make up for the second system, until he dies, he has mastered the six-series magic... You are just a civilian, and you have been congenitally adapted to the seven systems of magic...!How is this possible?!"
"Your Majesty, I can't answer your doubts about this, because I don't understand either. ”
Queen Heaney looked at Xu Mu seriously this time, with a brown short robe and hood, her eyes were sharp and her face was indifferent, she remembered what Xu Mu said before, saying that Xu Mu would be in big trouble if she went to the Academy of Magic.
"No wonder you said that if you go to the Academy of Magic, I'll be in big trouble... No wonder you want to borrow the magic awakening stone of the royal family with me..."Queen Heaney has woken up, if she really let Xu Mu go to the magic academy to awaken the magic seal, I am afraid it will shock the entire magic academy and the entire kingdom!"
"So I wonder if Her Majesty is interested in what she said to me?" Xu Mu smiled lightly.
"Indeed..."Queen Heaney held the sword staff and draped in a black fluffy robe, and slowly walked in front of Xu Mu.
Xu Mu looked at Her Majesty the Queen in front of him, who was just up to his chin, he couldn't help but lose his mind, and Queen Heaney was beautiful, she was not very old next year, but she revealed a unique charm that only a superior person has.
"On a new look, I am the current ruler of the kingdom of Heaney, and my name is Xenia. ”
Hearing Xenia's calm tone, Xu Mu's jaw was about to drop in shock, could it be that his adaptation to the seven-system magic was really so scary?
"Ahh My name is Xu Mu. ”
"I'll reconfirm with you. Xu Mu, are you sure you want to be loyal to me?"
Xu Mu replied without hesitation: "I am willing to be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen." ”
Xenia waved her sword and staff, pressing heavily on Xu Mu's shoulder, and she said in a deep voice, "Kneel." ”
Xu Mu immediately learned of his faux pas, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pressed his right hand on his chest.
Ai Lu was still holding the identification ash in her hand, she looked at Xenia and Xu Mu in front of her, she felt that she was far away from Xu Mu... Obviously, a few minutes ago, the two of them could hold each other's distance as soon as they stretched out their hands, but now they feel thousands of miles apart...
"I say the oath again, you repeat it. ”
"Yes. ”
Xu Mu then recited the oath of Xenia's leadership, and every word was so heavy and solemn: "Humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, honor, soul... At present, the strong enemy is not afraid, bold and loyal, and worthy of faith. I swear to be kind to the weak, I swear to fight bravely against rape, I swear to fight all wrongs, I swear to fight for the defenseless, I swear to be loyal to my kingdom......"
"Good. Queen Heaney heard Xu Mu read out all the oaths, she was a little happy, and her mouth chattered: "Xu Mu... Sure enough, the name still feels strange when I pronounce it. ”
Xu Mu coughed awkwardly and got up: "Your Majesty, what about the Magic Awakening Stone?"
"No problem. Xenia smiled indifferently, she looked at Xu Mu up close, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Xu Mu was a little interesting, she returned to the main seat of the living room and stood, turned around and looked at Xu Mu's tone for a while, and asked seriously: "Xu Mu, since you are loyal to me, then I can trust you." Today, I grant you the position of Captain of the Royal Knights, to protect the majesty of my royal family and the glory of my kingdom of Heaney, are you willing?"
"What?" Xu Mu was stunned, "Your Majesty, I don't even know magic yet, and..."
"Needless to say, I just ask you, would you like to?"
"I... I do. Xu Mu saluted with his right hand.
"Well, since you are the captain of my royal knights, then I promise you all the privileges of your nobility. Xu Mu, you can freely exercise your aristocratic privileges and rights in the territory of the Hehni Kingdom! In addition to your obligations and responsibilities as the captain of the royal knights, the rest of the aristocratic obligations will be exempted first, and the formal aristocratic oath will be held, and you will come back from the magic academy in two years, and I will personally hold it for you. Xenia stared at Xu Mu seriously, her voice flat and serious: "And the title and fief... When you come back in two years, I will give you another title. ”
Xu Mu was really stunned this time, he thought about the plan when he rushed into the queen's line a few days ago was very simple, that is, to be able to become a knight candidate with Ai Lu to study at the magic school, and then to borrow the magic awakening stone.
After all, he is not capable enough, he is not enough to protect himself at all, and his magic adaptability is exposed, which only does him disadvantages and does not do him much.
However, what I didn't expect was...
Xenia even gave him the rights of nobility and the position of captain of the royal knights.
"I'm surprised to see you. Xenia saw that Xu Mu had always been very indifferent and indifferent, and this was the first time she had seen Xu Mu like this, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Speaking of Her Majesty, then I am now... Is it a nobleman?"
"Not yet, exactly. However, the captains of the royal knights in the past generations will be nobles, I will give you the position first, the noble title will be later, and I have just given you all the privileges and rights of the nobles. Xenia thought of something, "By the way, as for the matter of the Magic Awakening Stone, I need to arrange it secretly... And today's events, be sure not to know about the fourth person. After speaking, Xenia glanced at Ailu, who was losing his mind.
"Yes. ”
