Chapter 1275: A Hero's Courtesy
The iron-masked prince's unreasonable cards directly blinded the nobles in the Heroes Square, and they looked at His Royal Highness Leon on the podium one by one, not knowing what he was crazy about.
If you want to win the throne of the prince, you have to win the support of these big nobles and big businessmen, that is, the so-called power class, so their number is pitiful compared to the commoners, but they are the ones who hold the right to speak in this country.
"Leon, this is digging his own grave!"
Listening to the waves of cheers, the faces of the nobles began to turn pale.
"I knew he would do that!"
Black Charlie stood aside, without any surprise, his brother is such a master who thinks about the commoners, in fact, the easing of domestic contradictions in Brittania is also inseparable from his suppression of the aristocratic class, just like this, he doesn't even want to be on the throne.
"It's really humbling for me to fight for inheritance with such a noble guy. ”
Freya also sighed.
"Please show gentlemanly manners, get out of the way, commoners, you can enter!"
Leon's Guards Regiment was dispatched and began to maintain order.
On this occasion, Leon had absolutely no possibility of retracting the declaration, and the nobles were not stupid, knowing that whoever stood up would become the mortal enemy of those commoners and be nailed to the pillar of shame, so even if they were unwilling, they obediently retreated to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, the square was already crowded with people, like a school of sardines in the harvest season, and a large piece of it could be pinched to death with a handful.
Knock! Knock!
The drums of war sounded, and the heroic movement was played.
Less than five minutes after the commotion, the whole square was quiet again. Everyone looked at the gate of the magnificent Hall of Heroes, longing, excited, and emotional, with different expressions on their faces.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I will never forget this opportunity you gave me!"
The first adventurer to pass through the corridor walked past the podium and knelt down on one knee towards Leon. "Allow me to offer my loyalty, and I will always be loyal to you and to the Holy Breton Empire!"
"Good luck!"
Leon smiled.
Groups of civilians passed by the podium and unanimously offered their blessings to Leon, and it was precisely because of their experience in the mercenary world that they knew how rare this opportunity was.
"Hmph, buy people's hearts!"
"It's just a bunch of untouchables, even if they go one step further, they won't do anything!"
"You can't say that, don't forget. That Duke of Downton, but he is also from a commoner!"
The aristocrats whispered, and in their hearts, they looked down on these low-level guys, even if the wealth they enjoyed was their taxes.
"He's a good guy!"
Sissi sighed lightly, she didn't know how many nobles she had seen, so she could feel it. Leon is not acting for the sake of gaining the hearts and minds of the people.
"I think he's good, too, but why are you sighing?"
Hu Tao was puzzled.
"Because he's challenging a behemoth. If you don't have the strength, you will end up being powdered!"
Downton admired the Iron Mask Prince, "But once it succeeds, the national glory of Brittania will last for a thousand years!"
"He won't succeed, there is no chance for his actions. It's tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car. ”
Washington shook his head, not to mention domestic forces, and other empires would not allow him to succeed.
The Corridor of Heroes has become a household name, and everyone knows that it is an opportunity to change their fate. Therefore, many people from other countries come here early, because only in these few days of the Midsummer Festival, this thousand-year-old secret realm will be open to people from all over the world for free.
Until the sunset rises, the crowd is still surging, and the nobles are so hot that even if they only charge an entry fee for a copper plate, it will be a huge wealth, but no one dares to do this, because this is the iron law set by the Empress Madeleine back then, and it was written into the imperial constitution ~ chapter.
"Why did those people come out dejected?"
Hu Tao counted the time, and some people came out almost as soon as they entered the Hall of Heroes.
"You don't think anyone can go in, do you?"
This is a luxury restaurant near the square, which belongs to Sissi's name, and Washington follows to eat and drink, "There are always some unlucky people who will be rejected by the law of the secret realm." ”
No one pays attention to those losers, they are all looking forward to a better future, and some of them are seizing the time to supplement their knowledge and meditate and cultivate, wanting to increase the chances of recruiting rare demon servants.
"Isn't that just that a hero for the rest of your life?"
After Hu Tao saw some people come out, he either lost his mind in a trance, or cried bitterly, and even many people committed suicide, that kind of desperate atmosphere was simply cruel.
"Whether you want to be a hero or not is not evaluated by others, but by asking yourself!"
Downton tapped on his chest.
"Huh?"
Hu Tao's head was full of question marks, and she grabbed her hair in confusion, she was a fool, not old enough to understand these words.
The nobles had to go home until noon the next day, when it was their turn.
When Downton and his party walked into the main hall, they finally saw the gate of the secret realm, which was a huge red stone wall, with lifelike reliefs on it, there were domineering dragons, elegant elves, and burly giants, humans, orcs, and even demons, who could appear on the stone wall, they were all heroes.
"How do you get in?"
Hu Tao was not afraid at all, and walked to the stone wall and reached out to touch the dragon's head.
Roar!
With a roar, the dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the walnut.
"Walnut!"
Elaine was startled and reached out to pull her, but she was swallowed up with her.
"Don't be nervous, this is how to get in!"
Just standing next to him, the moment the thousand long words of the Knights of the Garter who were in charge of explaining fell, the giant brandished a huge war hammer and smashed it down on Washington's head, he subconsciously blocked, but it was completely ineffective, and the whole person shattered into a streamer and disappeared.
If you want to enter the thousand-year-old secret realm, you have to be attacked by the heroes on the hero wall, and if they can't look at it, it means that the adventurer is not qualified.
Seeing that Sissi was also dissipated into the hall with a dagger in the chest by a female elf, Downton frowned, because he was the only one left.
The Garter knights in charge of the guard and the nobles waiting behind all looked at each other. They had known Downton's identity for a long time, so they were surprised to death when they saw him still standing there.
"Haha, this means that you don't have the qualifications to be a hero!"
Schadenfreude applause rang out.
A group of nobles turned their heads in amazement, who was so bold as to dare to mock Downton? Don't you want to live? Quickly reined in all expressions.
"Charles, the eldest son of the Lower Stuart family, is a good thing!"
Charles, with his long hair and shawl, as if reflecting the sunlight, walked up to Downton and held out his right hand.
"Luckily!"
Although Charles was rude, Downton didn't want to be rude, so he stretched out his hand.
"Ah, let me go, I want to enter the secret realm!"
Charles deliberately raised his hand and patted Downton on the shoulder. Then walk straight by.
There was an uproar, and everyone could see that Charles was deliberately embarrassing Downton.
"Charles, you've gone too far!"
The silver-haired man who had been standing next to Charles scolded, "I'm sorry, his personality is like this, please don't mind." ”
The silver-haired man has an elegant temperament and an angular face. Junlang's mess is a mess that makes any man look at it. Crazy with jealousy, he was wearing a decent white gown, with a white rose in his breast pocket.
Qualified to wear roses in public, the silver-haired man's identity is already revealed, he is Othello, the heir of the House of St. York. That is, the White Rose family, who fought the thousand-year-old Rose War with the Lancaster family.
"Haha, why are you so polite to him?"
Charles joked that entering the secret realm was just a pretext, and he couldn't wait to stand here and watch Downton make a fool of himself, knowing that he was one of Sissi's suitors.
"For guests of the royal family. Isn't your behavior too rude?"
Another young man came over surrounded by a group of people, and if Othello was the sun, then he was lightning, sharp and sharp.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to have wronged you. ”
The young man does not need to introduce himself, as the famous Prince of the Black Sun, he is also a household name in the aristocratic circle.
"Ah, Black Charlie is so cool!"
"No, I think Othello's temperament is more evil ~ charming. ”
"Hey, I still like Downton, just like the god of war of Apollo who came out of mythology!"
The aristocratic girls in the hall talked a lot, these three men have their own strengths, don't look at Downton's commoners, but they stand with the heroes of the Red and White Rose family, and they are not inferior.
"Guest, then why hasn't Queen Oni received him yet?"
Charles pouted, "He's not really your brother, is he?"
"Charles!"
Black Charlie and Othello frowned at the same time, if Downton's identity is confirmed, this is a royal scandal, and no one wants to be brought up.
"Hmph, why is all this fuss about? He doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the secret realm!"
Charles scoffed.
"It's not that you haven't seen it!"
The Iron Mask Prince also stepped forward.
"What?"
The nobles were stunned and discussed, they were well-informed, so they knew the various ways to enter the secret realm, and besides, Stuart was one of the great families of Brittany, if not even Charles of the heirs.
Leon didn't explain, as the heroic stone wall began to shake, and then a pair of large hands suddenly reached out, pushing all the reliefs to the sides, and then the stone wall parted, forming a long corridor with stairs for Downton to enter.
"How many years have passed, and I have seen the grand opening of the door of heroes again!"
The head of the Knight of Guardian, who rushed to hear the news, saw this scene and was full of emotion.
The reliefs came down from the stone walls and stood on either side of the corridor, taking up their respective weapons and striking them, playing heroic poems.
"This is the Heroic Secret Realm's recognition and praise for what you have done!"
Leone explained.
When adventurers enter the Heroes' Corridor, the Laws of the Esoteric Realm will feel the power of the Laws on their bodies, and read the messages they carry, they will not ban the villains from entering, but they will give the heroes a grand welcome.
"I'm a hero?"
Downton was stunned.
"Yes, to the people of Frankfurt, you are their hero!"
Leon sighed that he was too young when he entered the secret realm, so he didn't have any heroic deeds, and naturally he couldn't let the door of heroes open.
"I'm sorry, I'll go first!"
Downton quickly recovered his mood, greeted everyone, and walked to the hero corridor, "Charles, do you want to be together?"
Some nobles chuckled.
Charles's face was already turning blue, this scene undoubtedly proved that what he said just now was a fart, Downton not only had the qualifications, but also received the highest level of courtesy.
The corridor was long and seemed to be short, and when Downton's sense of time was almost blurred, his body seemed to pass through the surface of a lake, and his body went from stasis to light.
In the field of vision, the spring is bright and warm.
"Big brother, you're so slow!"
Hu Tao jumped onto Downton's back, still holding a telescope in one hand to look in.
At the end of the spectrum is the endless turquoise water, with a huge circular terrace at its feet, behind which was originally a portal, but the moment Downton entered, it disappeared.
The terrace extends into a three-meter-wide cloister that leads to no apparent direction.
"You have two choices, first, go forward, is Valhalla, you may recruit the powerful and rare Heroic Soul Demon Servant, and second, meditate, feel the call of the Demon Servant, and then go to recruit. ”
A solemn female voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
"Does it make a difference?"
Sissi asked.
"The former has a high failure rate, and you have a chance of getting nothing, and the latter has a high chance of getting a demon servant that matches your own attributes!"
After the voice was finished, no matter how Hu Tao shouted, he didn't answer anymore.
"What should I do?"
Sissi looked at Downton.
"Do you need to ask?"
Downton chuckled, "Let's go, Hutao out of the way!"
"Okay!"
Hu Tao carried the war hammer and led the charge.
This is a rare opportunity, so most of Downton's command is here, but Xia Luo is an exception, because the colorful dragon potion is almost ready, and she has no time to clone.
"I can't summon mounts, and the use of flying costumes is restricted. ”
Sissi was depressed, and running like this made her feel very tired.
"I'll help you!"
Walnut prepares to be a foal.
"No!"
Sissi's cheeks flushed, she was embarrassed.
On the first day, everyone was still interested in sightseeing, but in the next few days, it became more and more boring, after all, every day they saw the same corridors and lakes, and everyone would get tired of it.
"I knew that I would have chosen to find the demon servant, when will it be a head if I run like this?"
"If you bear with me, maybe it's almost there, after all, it's Valhalla, how can it be so easy to arrive?"
"Yes, otherwise everyone has a Heroic Spirit, and that would be too cheap?"
"What if we go the wrong way?"
Along the way, Downton and his party met a lot of adventurers, some of whom are still persevering, and some of whom are returning, although there are no monster attacks, but day by day, this kind of running with no end in sight is also very torturous.
Without the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, time seemed to freeze, everyone was running, but they didn't know the end, only through the pocket watch, they knew that ten days had passed.
After all, the adventurers with space equipment are in the minority, and the dry food carried by some people is almost exhausted, so for this reason, the fight and fighting begin.
"Stand still and leave the food, or I'll kill you!"
A man hiding behind a pillar rushed out and roared at Downton's party. (To be continued......)
