Chapter 70: The Smoke Fills the Air
For the nobles of Shakdam, it was an eerie dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoArchduke Edward and Archduke Fisher, who had always been on the same page, actually lived in peace, and they sat opposite each other, both silent. These two big men didn't speak, and these nobles naturally didn't dare to talk about it, so they could only form groups in groups of threes and twos, secretly wondering what the two grand dukes had suddenly smoked.
Just when they thought that the birthday was spent in this strange atmosphere, the square where the game was held was suddenly bathed in firelight, the sounds of knights fighting were intertwined, and some daring nobles poked their heads out to try to understand the commotion in the square, and rows of neat rockets sped in the direction of the banquet hall. The arrows were nailed to the ornate curtains, and the entire venue was set on fire in an instant.
"It's a rebellion!"
And this time, the Silver Archduke arrived with Reinhardt.
The always cheerful Duke Silver was pale at the moment, and Reinhardt, who was beside him, clenched his teeth, obviously angry to the extreme, and the panicked Princess Rose buried her head in his arms. Under the pouring out of the underground knights' guild, the knights in the square couldn't resist for long.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that only the regular army of the royal city and the knights under the command of the Silver Duke are facing the rebels in front of the royal city, and the knights of the Grand Duke Edward and Archduke Fisher are not among them.
"Edward, send your most valiant knight to protect Rose!"
Reinhardt roared in frustration.
After the battle with the Templar from Holutiah, his notching power had faded to the brink of collapse, and at the end of that confrontation, he had only relied on the advantage of the engraving to bring the opponent into a coma. Since then, the little strength he has left is no longer enough to sustain this illusory kingdom normally. Therefore, he had to freeze the time on Princess Rose's favorite day, a week before her birthday.
Because every day of the week, Rose would pester, smiling and asking him about his birthday.
However, all the dreams he had longed for had been ruined by the royal knight!7 times, 15 times? He had too much to remember how many rebellions had taken place on the evening of his birthday. He was both angry and tired, and this strong emotion climbed to its peak until Lin Qiu's appearance.
But he didn't understand.
He was a Templar, owner of the Quicksand Mark, and one of the eight deceased members of the Chaos Cult, why was he upset about a stinky child? That night, he seemed to see the silhouette of Shakdam crumbling in the burning blue flames.
"Reinhardt, who are they?"
From her bosom came the faint voice of Princess Rose inquiring. Reinhardt had to soften the expression on his face, he lowered his head, and comforted the other as usual: "Don't worry, Rose, I won't let them come up whoever they are." ā
Then, he raised his voice, "You, take Rose upstairs!"
The knight, dressed in iron armor and hiding his face under the heavy iron helmet, stepped forward, bowed slightly to Reinhardt, and took Princess Rose upstairs. As Princess Rose vanished into the spiral staircase, a pitch-black flame appeared on Reinhardt's armor, an ominous flame that stunned everyone in the venue.
Was this red-eyed, hideous-faced, black-lit man really the Knight King they were familiar with?
In everyone's heart, such a question can't help but arise.
ā...... Do you know who those people are?"
On the spiral staircase, Princess Rose asks the knight holding her hand. Although the man was covered in cold-glowing armor, the palms of his hands were surprisingly warm. For some reason, the knights around her always gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"I don't know. ā
The knight replied, "Maybe it's some scientist." ā
"Scientists?
The knight politely opened the door to her room, and when Princess Rose entered, she asked, "Is it like a fairy or an elf......?" It's supposed to be an evil wizard, right?"
She vividly remembered the clown who rushed towards her, and without the slightest hesitation, stabbed the dagger into the chest of the knight who was protecting her safety. Such a person would not be a fairy or an elf in any case!
"Your Highness, Rose, haven't you heard the story of the scientist Tyr Seleus?"
Tyre Cylenus......
Rose couldn't help but be stunned, she thought she must have heard the name somewhere.
At the same time, Reinhardt, dressed in black fire, rushed into the rebels as if he had entered a no-man's land, and any knight who came into contact with the black flame screamed and turned to ashes in an instant. Even so, the knights in the clown style still killed him as if they were dead. This kind of killing has been reincarnated more than ten times, and these knights who have been reduced to ashes have been killed by him more than a dozen times with his own hands!
He couldn't understand why, under such absolute disparity, these people still rose up again and again to rebel against the kingdom he had created.
What they are rebelling against is a utopia without intrigue, without war, without hunger!
This time, under the effect of the engraving, the entire square turned into quicksand traps, and the knights who were caught off guard were swallowed by the huge quicksand vortex before they could even struggle. Swallowed by the sand, there were also the guards of the royal city and the knights under the command of the Silver Duke.
Before that, he had dealt with these people and had no regard for the use of engravings. But this time, he was really mad, and he had been tormented by uneasiness since the boy who had followed Alyssa appeared.
Of course, he knew that these fallen people would soon be "reborn", and that the houses that had been swallowed up by the quicksand could be rebuilt by him without deviation. At this moment, he just wanted to vent his anger to the fullest, trying to vent the deep uneasiness in his heart together.
After the screams in the square gradually faded away, three sword shadows flashed, and three knights, led by golden light, attacked him from different directions.
......
"And then?"
It's something that almost all children who hear half of the story will say. Rose sat at the table, swaying her little feet regularly, and after listening to the story, her mood finally calmed down.
When Reinhardt returns, she must let him reward this worthy knight!
Later, the scientist Tyr Cyrus finally invented a jewel that would awaken his sweetheart, a pure and immaculate orb that emitted a purple shimmer when night fell. Tyr placed the orb on the head of his sweetheart's bed, trying to let the purple glow bring miracles into his dilapidated hut. ā
As he spoke, the knight removed his iron helmet, and with a clumsy motion, he fumbled in the grooves of the armor for a long time before he held a transparent orb in front of Rose.
Rose's eyes lit up and she took the orb: "Is this the orb?"
The moment the orb was placed in her hand, a faint purple light swirled around her palm.
"Master, please don't come to me next time this happens. ā
The deep sea muttered in his heart. Deep Sea believes that her magic is not used to deceive children.
"That's it. ā
Rose, who had carefully examined the orb, was suddenly stunned, and as the story drew to a close, a very familiar scene flashed through her mind.
It seems that at some point, there was also a teenager standing in front of him, telling her a story about Tyr Cyleus looking for his sweetheart.
But that Tyre Cyrus seems to be a teenager who wants to be a knight.
Is this hazy feeling a dream?
She couldn't help but clench her hands, clenching the cold but as if touching her heart.
