Candela Continent, Gale Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was the middle of winter, and after the heavy snowfall, the entire imperial capital was covered with a thick layer of silver. Named after the Imperial Empire, Gale City, the Imperial Capital is one of the most prosperous cities in the world, second only to the City of Freedom, which is known as the 'City of Commerce'.
The most famous place in Gale Winde is the five estates where the four dukes and royalty live.
The five estates are: Duke Tulip's Tulip Manor, Duke Bauhinia's Bauhinia Manor, Duke Adolf's Mandala Manor, Duke Bess Snake Manor, and the Royal Family's Lionheart Manor.
Each manor was designed by the top designers of the time, and then built by the top architects, legend has it that each manor has a mysterious power to protect it, and anyone with bad intentions will stay in it forever.
Originally, these five manors should be inaccessible places for ordinary people, and they can be said to be forbidden places for civilians, but there is one exception to one manor, that is, the mandala manor belonging to the 'right hand of the empire' Duke Adolf, although the security is equally strict, but it does not prohibit the approach of civilians.
The mandala manor occupies an extremely wide area, the whole manor is planted with mandala flowers, and the main gate is greatly open day and night, enough for six horses to run in parallel, which can be said to be the largest of the five manors.
On both sides of the gate stood two brave men in red armor of about two meters, these two big men were like rock carvings, their indifferent eyes scanned the passing crowd, and the huge blood-colored war knives hung on the broad tiger's back. At a glance, the blood-colored war knife was one and a half meters long.
However, this is not the most terrifying, what is even more terrifying is that next to these two big men, there is a fierce tiger.
The tiger's whole body is as red as a flame, the body length is about three meters, and the tail like an iron whip swept suddenly, all of which made the air vibrate, and the tiger's eyes emitted a cold glow, this tiger is the so-called 'Red Rock Tiger King'.
These two strong men are the personal guards of Grand Duke Adolf, from the 'Red Tiger Army' under the command of the Grand Duke and the 'First Army of the Gale Wind Empire'.
Today, Mandala Manor, and even the entire Gale City, is a festive place, and the eyes are red as fire. Because today is the 150th birthday of Duke Adolf, the owner of the mandala manor, and Duke Adolf has been in love with red for some reason since ten years ago, especially on birthdays.
In order to cater to Duke Adolf's preferences, the entire population of Gale Winde City will wear specially prepared red clothes on this day, and then run to celebrate his birthday.
But the happiest are the children in the slums.
Since ten years ago, every time Duke Adolf's birthday, the Duke's Palace will send people to hold a banquet here, invite the people of the slums to have a meal, and if you are lucky, you will be valued by the stewards of the Duke's Palace and become the reserve personnel of the 'Red Tiger Army'.
However, it was not Duke Adolf who was most grateful to the people of the slums, but to the grandson of Lord Duke, Aaron Adolf.
Originally, the slum was called the slum, although there was a word difference, but the survival situation was very different, the slum is the dirtiest place in the whole city, here is gathered all the scum of the whole city, it is a place that the law does not cover, it is a place where the sun is not willing to shine, trafficking, robbery and other dirty and dark happen here in the open, and no one will feel wrong.
Therefore, as long as they are able, they are not willing to live in slums, and even gangs rarely set up strongholds in them.
Later, the situation in the slum was known to Aaron, who didn't know what Aaron said during a meeting, and His Majesty the Lionheart suddenly ordered the slum to be rectified after he returned, and then under the deterrence of bloody human heads, the law finally covered this blank area, and the people in the slum finally saw the long-lost sunshine.
Since then, the life of the slums of the Gale Empire has gradually improved, as long as you are willing to work hard, although it is impossible to eat and drink, but food and clothing can be guaranteed, so the slums were officially renamed the slums three years ago.
"In the blink of an eye, it has been twelve years since I came to this world. ”
A faint sigh sounded, and the vicissitudes and sorrows contained in it made it impossible to believe that these words came from the mouth of a child who had just turned twelve today.
It was the grandson of Duke Adolf who spoke, but because his physique was too poor to adapt to the too lively environment, he did not attend his grandfather's birthday banquet.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, the corners of Yalian's mouth raised slightly, and he looked up at the busy servants outside the window, with some emotion in his heart.
Everything in the previous life was vain, he didn't think about it, and in the more than ten years since he traveled to this world, he just wanted to live a more wonderful life.
It is a vast and mysterious world.
There is no legendary fighting magic, nor is there a story of immortal cultivation, only some great beings called knights, who have terrifying powers, and some strange creatures survive on the earth, and among the common people, there are all kinds of legendary myths.
His grandfather was the Duke of the Gale Empire, one of the four empires of the Candela Continent, and at the same time, he was also a silver-level knight with extraordinary powers, and he was able to see many strange creatures here, which was very different from others.
Black iron, silver, gold, the three major classes of knights.
As long as you become a black iron knight, you will have the strength of a hundred people, and what is even more crazy is that your lifespan will increase to two hundred years old.
Not to mention the silver level, it is an inhuman existence that can live for five hundred years, and as for the strength, it can match a legion, which is the best interpretation of 'one person into an army'.
As for the gold-level knight, it has become a legend, for hundreds of years, no gold-level knight has appeared, but Duke Adolf has become one of the most likely people to become a gold-level knight with the strength of the silver level.
As for whether or not he can become a gold level, it still depends on luck, before Duke Adolf, there are countless knights at the peak of the silver level who have fallen outside the gate of the gold level, and they have not been able to step into the realm of longing for a lifetime until they die.
Legend has it that the four great empires have all had gold-level great existences!
But Aaron clearly knew that this was not a legend, because if you want to build an empire, the first requirement is to have a gold-level knight.
Moreover, Yalian also knew that these gold-level knights were still alive, because once they stepped into the gold level, they would have a lifespan of a thousand years, and the four empires were only founded for more than a hundred years, not to mention that in this world, there are still many things that extend life.
Although the location where these things appear is extremely dangerous, for the gold-level knight who is already standing on the top of the world, there is no danger that cannot be conquered.
Reflecting on his experiences over the years and the information he had gathered, he heard a conversation between two servants outside the door.
"Today is not only the master's birthday, but also the birthday of the little master, but our little master is really sensible, he doesn't cry or make trouble. ”、
"Yes, if the young masters of other families had already made a fuss, even our Young Master Gray would probably make a big fuss. ”
"Their father and son are really not like ah, the little young master is so good to us, but unfortunately, the little young master's body is not good, he can't become a knight, otherwise I still want my son and grandson to serve the little young master." ”
"yes, it's a pity......"
The servants drifted away, and the conversation became inaudible.
Aaron touched his nose, not knowing what to say, the servant's mouth, Master Gray was his cheap father, and at the same time the third son of Duke Adolf, because he was the youngest son, he was spoiled since he was a child, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he was romantic, and he lingered among the flowers all day long.
However, it also caused trouble, and made a marquis's young lady belly bigger, and was forced to marry the young lady with a knife by the old duke, who was worried about the scarcity of family heirs.
It's just that after Aaron's cheap Lao Tzu got married, he was still amorous and lingered in Fengyue places, without the slightest intention of restraint, which angered his new wife, that is, Alian's mother, and countless quarrels broke out between the two.
During a quarrel, Aaron's mother accidentally touched her stomach, causing the fetus to be born prematurely, and Aaron was only seven months old at that time, and if it weren't for the old duke's spare, I'm afraid Aaron wouldn't have survived at all.
Even so, because of congenital deficiencies, Aaron's body has always been weak, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will get seriously ill, let alone become a knight, even if he wants to be the same as ordinary people, it is a luxury.
"I should be glad I was born into an aristocratic family, otherwise I would have been gone a long time ago?"
Looking at his weak body, he laughed at himself and thought that because he was too hard, the green tendons on his hands burst out, and against the backdrop of his pale skin, it looked extremely terrifying.
He was not reconciled!
In a wonderful world, the hope of immortality is just in front of him, and he can only watch it, and he can't do anything.
"There is a tiger in my heart, and my body is like a rotten wood, I am not willing to ......."
