Chapter 62: The Brave

After a week's rapid march, they came to an undefended town called the town of Gotting, the western gateway to Menihao, the capital of Vienria, from where they could reach Menihao in another day's walk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Upon arrival, Salian sent Baron Weldon to Meniou to contact the Hinterfingen family about a meeting. And let the rest of the men rest for a day in the small town before setting out, in order to maintain a good mental outlook to appear in the capital of Vienria. As a prince of the empire, he could not be underestimated by another prince, although one of them was the oldest family and the other was the newest family.

At the town's most famous beer hall, Salian took Aphroa and Hilda to enjoy Vienria's local specialties and pork knuckle, as the other girls were well-informed travelers. It's a pity that the two of them didn't have any praise for the food in front of them, and sure enough, the taste still depends on each person, so let's take them to the northern New Mark border area to eat something different next time.

At that moment, Salian heard a loud noise outside, and the curious Hilda immediately threw away her knife and fork, got up and ran out. Salian didn't want to leave Hilda running alone, so he chased the orc girl out with him, and of course he left a few Groschen coins on the table.

As soon as they got out of the door, they saw a couple of gentlemen arguing around a young man dressed in ordinary clothes, and he walked over and took Hilda's little hand, and they watched the excitement follow. Although Salian was not near them, he was able to improve his hearing to understand their conversation, and it turned out that the gang was very interested in the long sword that the young man was carrying, and wanted to buy it. The young man also looked like a Tutonian, but spoke a strong southern Mars mountain dialect, which was now a semi-independent region nominally part of the Rokenhausen family in Altenburg, but had been rebelling against the rule of the Archduke Rokenhausen.

"I said that the wild boy from the mountains, be honest on our territory! My eldest brother said, sell this sword to him, and reward you with a hundred gold coins, this is a great thing! Hmph, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"

If it was a beautiful girl who was surrounded, Salian would naturally have the duty to put on a performance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but unfortunately this person who was not even a beautiful boy could not arouse his interest at all.

I heard the young man reprimand loudly: "You hateful sons of the Gentle, I am the descendant of the Waier family, who have been brave for generations, and I carry on my back a holy sword that can only be used by my bloodline. ”

Salian, who was eavesdropping in the middle of the crowd, suddenly lit up, the surname of Treir may not be known to ordinary people, but he knew, because this civilian family on the mountain of Mars also had an ancient weapon, and legend has it that they were recognized by this sword, and only the bloodline of the family could exert its power, which they called the holy sword "Imeches".

Suddenly, Salian thought of something, what he saw and heard at Baron Ridlingen's house that day made him know the secret of the seven ancient divine weapons of the White Lion Dynasty, and then thought of the so-called recognition of weapons by the Die family, which made him faintly feel a strange smell.

The group of gentlemen obviously did not know the weight of the Waier family, and they surrounded the youth group and tried to snatch the sword.

The young man of the Retreat family also knew that he could no longer stop the actions of this group with words, so he immediately drew his sword from his back without hesitation. I saw him holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword was upward, and the raised sword body instantly emitted a dazzling light.

The people around, whether it was the gentlemen or the ordinary people watching the excitement, were shocked by this majestic light. Men and women, young and old, all had a strange feeling in their hearts at this time, as if they wanted to surrender to this sword, even Salian and Aphroa, whose willpower was far beyond ordinary people, and they had to bow their heads and bear this great force. Maybe only the dragon girl Hilda was not affected, and as a dragon king bloodline, she naturally would not be afraid of the kingly aura of humans.

Salian concentrated on the terrifying arcane technique, and struggled to raise his head to take a closer look at the sword. He should not be wrong in his guess, at least it was a weapon from the Second Dynasty, because he could clearly see that the hilt of the sword was in the shape of a white lion with a crown, which was the coat of arms of the white lion family.

Even after hundreds of years of weather, Salian is well versed in imperial history and heraldry, and he can't be mistaken. He thought that this sword was most likely one of the seven legendary magic weapons of that year, and it was one of the weapons that the White Lion Emperor did not give to his subordinates, and those weapons that were given were decorated according to the coats of arms of those families, and they all had portraits handed down to the world, and Salian had seen them, only the two weapons that had not been rewarded were no longer available.

Salian's guess is right, this sword is the sword of the famous White Lion Emperor himself, and later the times changed, and the greatest White Lion family on the continent also disappeared in the long river of history, these hidden weapons were scattered all over the place, and finally "Imeches" fell into the hands of the Retreat family, it may be the choice of this living imperial sword!

Because of the so-called "holy sword" of the young man, all the gentlemen who were directly hit by this light were paralyzed to the ground and lost their physical strength, and the other onlookers were okay, and the power only slightly affected them.

The young man saw that his purpose had been achieved, and in order to avoid confusion, he immediately put away his sword and put him back on his back.

"Salian, what's going on with that momentum just now, I can't even raise my head!"

"Yes, Dad, the magic of this weapon is very powerful, and it seems to have a soul of its own. ”

"Since you're all interested, let's make friends with that young man, and I have a lot of questions for him. ”

As they said that, they followed the young man to see where he was going, and Salian noticed that the young man of the Retreat family was very thin, probably about the same as Yulia. And because the "holy sword" was a weapon built during the Second Dynasty, although it was advanced beyond the times, it was still in the style of a traditional long sword in terms of shape, so because of the short height of young people, it could only be carried on its back. In fact, if it was Salian or Aphroa, it should be able to be worn around the waist.

In this way, they followed the youth all the way to the end of a remote path, and the young man suddenly stopped, turned and looked at them vigilantly.

In order to show that he had no ill intentions, Salian immediately spoke.

"Hello, my friend from the Waier family, my name is Salian, and I am a tourist passing through this place, I just saw your magical performance, and I want to invite you to drink, is it okay?"

"What if I don't want to?!" the young man asked alarmedly.

"Hehe, why don't you want to, if there are many people, others won't dare to provoke you easily, and shouldn't travelers help each other!"

Unable to resist Salian's warm invitation, the young man followed them to a tavern.

The heir of the Dyer family also reported his name, and it turned out that his name was Thomas, and he was the only male member of the Treist family, the guardian of the "Holy Sword". This time he came out of the mountains to see his sister, who was married to a minor nobleman of the side line of the Rokenhausen family of the Grand Duke of Altenburg. The little nobleman fell in love with Thomas's sister and married him when he was a tax collector in the Mars Mountains. Last month he received a letter from his sister saying that she had a girl left and that Thomas could visit when he had time.

So that's why the heir of the Brave family is here now, and he, like Salian, is going through the Duchy of Wienria to the Grand Duchy of Aldenburg.

Salian knew that it was too early to ask him about the Holy Sword, so he only talked to him about some topics that young people were interested in, wanting to get on good terms first. They shared the same hobby of swordsmanship and battlefield art, and in a short time the well-informed Salian had a firm grip on the young man's heart.

Then they talked about their daily lives, and it turned out that the brave man had never left the Mars Mountains before because of his family, and this was the first time he had gone away alone. He originally thought that the life of the people who left the backward mountain areas should be happy and peaceful, and who knew that there was discord and strife everywhere. He had encountered this situation many times along the way, and he had never expected that the brave people who were beloved in the Mars Mountains would be treated like this.

Salian, who had expressed deep sympathy for him, immediately invited Thomas to accompany him, and the young man, who had already thought that Salian was simple and reliable, naturally nodded in agreement.

But as soon as they left the city and saw the neat tent and the black dragon banner hanging high, Thomas thought he had been deceived.

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, Thomas, I forgot to tell you my last name, my full name is Salian von Hohenstelingen, and my territory is not far north of your Mars mountains, and I am a neighbor of you!"

"Oh, I remember, I used to go to Constance, the big city closest to the mountains, with my sister in the past, and I heard her say that the garrison there seems to be this awkward surname, and my sister also said that the man likes beautiful women very much, and told me to stay away from him!"

"This is a rumor, a complete rumor, and I solemnly declare that there is no such thing!"

"Really, brother, this beautiful boy is your new dish?"

"And what am I doing?"

"Salian, you've found another fun little thing!?"

At this time, the girls who had been resting appeared, and they all heard Salian's words and expressed their opinions. How pale Salian's statement looked!

"Oops, what a terrible feeling, I'm going home!"

"Hehe, I want to leave, but it's not that easy!"

In order to escape from here, Thomas once again drew his "holy sword", and at the same time, Salian had already raised his terror power and was ready to fight, but among the noisy girls, there was no magical incident like in Gottingtown.

Although the "Holy Sword" that was pulled out still shone brightly, it did not have a strong power. Sally thought it might be because Thomas wasn't proficient in using the Holy Sword yet.
