Chapter 7: St. Bauhinia

The Kingdom of St. Helier, a huge kingdom covering an area of about 2.75 million square kilometers, has become one of the largest countries in the West Pole since the collapse of the Bonn Empire.

Due to its geographical location on the east side of the West Pole continent, most of the coastal territories belong to the Kingdom of St. Helier, so it is also one of the leading kingdoms in terms of economy and power on the West Pole continent.

Hundreds of years ago, due to the collapse of the Bonn Empire, the entire empire was in chaos without a commander, and countries rushed to repair the empire and make their kingdom the master of the new empire, so wars broke out one after another.

Decades after the outbreak of the war, weak and small states have been swallowed up, while powerful kingdoms have maintained a delicate balance with other kingdoms of equal strength, causing wars between states to enter a sticky state and be delayed indefinitely.

Until one day, the power of the goddess Jasmine, the god of mankind, rose rapidly, and they established a base between countries for missionary purposes, and penetrated the politics between countries, forming a territoryless state called the Holy Church.

In the end, after decades of flowering and fruition, in addition to the Demon Guiding Kingdom, the Holy Sect successfully made the Great Powers Kingdom on the original West Pole Continent reach a line and sign a peace treaty that lasted for nearly thousands of years.

Of course, the Demon Empire was a kingdom outside of the peace treaty, so this also led to the later establishment of the Demon Empire by proclaiming themselves emperor.

And in the Kingdom of St. Helier, the core of the Holy Cult's power, the St. Bauhinia family was one of the pillar nobles who supported the Holy Sect. As a result, the Holy Church later gave them extremely powerful powers, including keeping a list of candidates for each generation.

Saint Bauhinia Joanna Eve, born into the Bauhinia family, rightfully qualified as a candidate for the Holy Maiden.

Not only that, but from the moment she was born, she showed that she possessed an extremely powerful 'miracle' talent, and the purity of the 'Holy Mang' in her body almost surpassed that of all saints in the past.

If it weren't for the Sixth Lady having already taken office, Joanna Eve would definitely have been given priority by the Pope to the position of Holy Woman.

But unfortunately, one of the harsh conditions for becoming a saint is that she must be officially crowned before the age of seventeen, otherwise she will not be able to receive the 'baptism of Jasmine' for the rest of her life, and she will not be able to become a saint.

If nothing happens, Joanna Eve will spend the rest of her life under the care of an ancient and powerful family and the Holy Cult.

However, the unexpected happened.

On that day, the Sixth Virgin and her Knights of Oaths disappeared.

As if the world had evaporated, under the frantic search of the Holy Sect, there was still no trace of the Sixth Holy Maiden.

Thus, Joanna Eve was officially appointed by the Pope as the next saint, the Seventh Virgin.

Half a month before Charlotte arrived on the West Pole Continent, just a few days after leaving the 'Star Creator's Treasure'......

A luxurious carriage kept running on the dirt road, followed by dozens of tired and tired elite knights.

The old butler Dennis rode his horse in a luxurious carriage, and after several days of travel, he finally entered the territory of St. Bauhinia, and soon reached the residence of the Bauhinia family.

The territory of the St. Bauhinia family covers an extremely large area, almost one-fifth of the territory of the Kingdom of St. Helier is under the coat of arms of the St. Bauhinia family, perhaps thanks to the achievements of St. Bauhinia hundreds of years ago, in exchange for today's glory.

"It seems that too much territory is also a troublesome thing. Dennis, who was driving the horse, sighed, "I hope Miss can hold on." ”

With a worried gaze, the old butler glanced at the luxurious carriage behind him out of the corner of his eye, and sighed involuntarily.

......

After several days of travel, the luxurious carriage stopped in front of an extremely beautiful manor.

Dennis stood straight in front of the carriage door and knocked lightly. After waiting for a few minutes and finding no response, he gently opened the carriage door.

I saw that under the sunlight shining through the car window, the girl's long white hair looked sacred and pure, and she was wearing aristocratic clothes after several days of running, and the pure white cloth on the clothes was stained with a trace of mud.

Perhaps the girl was so tired from the journey that she closed her eyes and put her cheeks on her cheeks, and fell asleep.

"Miss, here we are. The old butler gently shook the girl's shoulder, "Please wake up." ”

The girl opened her eyes like sea-blue gems, rubbed her hazy eyes, and said, "Well, thank you, Dennis. Please give me a little time to prepare, and I'll be right there. ”

Dennis nodded, and left the carriage and closed the carriage door. He can understand that Eve, who grew up under the education of wealthy nobles since childhood, must always follow the etiquette and teachings of the family, and must not be sloppy at all.

About fifteen minutes later, the carriage door was opened. The rejuvenated Eve was dressed in a clean aristocratic service, and there was not a trace of dust and stains on her body when she was tidy up.

"Let's go, Dennis. The maiden took Dennis's hand and walked into the manor, accompanied by the knights.

After a stretch of road that had been trimmed by the top craftsmen of the kingdom, one came to a four- or five-story noble villa. Before knocking on the door, the old butler helped to arrange the girl's clothes, and when he was sure that it was perfect, he knocked on the door and stepped back behind Eve.

The heavy door was pushed open by Eve, revealing the lavish dΓ©cor and furnishings of the interior hall, surrounded by lamps made of magic crystals.

The main attraction of the hall is a huge staircase in front of you, with a bright red carpet and fresh bauhinia petals on the stairs and floor. There is also a huge chandelier hanging from the roof of the hall, which is inlaid with thousands of extremely precious magic crystals, and the magic circle on the chandelier will automatically activate whenever night falls, and each magic crystal will emit a gentle and dazzling light.

The cleanliness and luxury of every detail in the hall are staggering.

But it also shows the status of the St. Bauhinia family on this continent.

"Father. Eve saw her father standing in the middle of the hall, dozens of housekeepers and maids standing neatly on either side, as if she had prepared for Eve's return.

"Well, my dear daughter, it would be nice for you to come back safely. The muscular man spoke, his strong physique faintly visible under the neat suit, "Thank you, Dennis." ”

"Please don't say that, Lord Grover. Dennis saluted with respect and deeply, "This is my mission." ”

"Don't say that, Dennis. Although you are my servant, you should also be well aware of your own position in the Bauhinia family. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty understands. ”

Seeing that Dennis was still behaving like this, Grover had to smile wryly and shake his head.

"Father, about this journeyβ€”" Eve said after a pause, uneasy.

"Dennis has already told me that it's not your fault in this matter. Grover interrupted Eve, "But this time you've gone a little too far, do you know what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Eve bowed her head deeply.

"Lord Grover, please listen to me..."Dennis was about to explain, but Grover raised his hand to stop him.

"Thankfully, you two came back safe and sound, and I'm satisfied. Joanna Eve, please don't make the same mistake next time. ”

Eve understood. The maiden looked up and said to her father, "But we will not be able to find Charlotte in the end, there is something about the Holy Maiden..."

"Well, I also understand this, the boy in the report seems to have been captured by pirates, right? and the huge sailing ship is most likely the 'Fu Lisan'. ”

"The overlord of the seas, the notorious Lerod Morey?" Dennis muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it, whether it is reasonable or reasonable. ”

"But if Charlotte is not found, then the contract cannot be dissolved, and the appointment of the Holy Maiden can only be postponed indefinitely. Eve said eagerly.

"You don't have to worry about that. That's why I called in our old friends to help us find out where the boy was. Grover smiled slightly, showing a confident smile, "I even got a great piece of good news." ”

Grover clapped his hands lightly and bowed deeply to the stairs.
