Chapter 100: The Ice Moon Empire
The border of the Ice Moon Empire is very long, and according to the shape, it is a long strip of country. The Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info straddles Bancor, Ambra and a number of smaller principalities. Because of the high terrain, the climate here is harsh in winter all year round.
The Ice Moon Empire is sparsely populated, and the harsh winter climate makes food resources scarce, and it is difficult to meet the food and clothing of the entire population of the empire without relying on imports. Fortunately, the Ice Moon Empire is rich in resources, and a large number of open-air magic crystal minerals make their financial income equal to other empires, and the per capita financial dominance and enjoyment rate naturally greatly exceeds that of other empires.
So, even if the climate is not good, the Ice Moon Empire is still a rich place. To describe it with the word "rich to the people", it can better show the characteristics of the life of this empire. When people become rich, they will no longer pursue material things, but will invest in other needs. Force, naturally, is the biggest part of the other needs of the people of the Ice Moon Empire.
In order to resist the harsh winter climate, the people of the Ice Moon Empire advocated martial arts cultivation. There have been many great masters here, and they are famous in history. Although the current Ice Moon Empire has not yet given birth to a new master, the military foundation is very good, and many empires believe that it may not be long before the Ice Moon Empire will naturally produce new masters with the ability to protect the country.
As one of the six empires participating in the Garden Trials, the Icemoon Empire can be at the top of the list of popular participation enthusiasm for this event. This is a rare pastime, so in the two days that the knights of the major empires have arrived here, whether it is the airship center or the surrounding area of the garden trial specially built for various countries, the major media and ordinary people of the Ice Moon Empire have gathered.
"It is said that the people who participated in the garden trial this time were the famous knight elite Chrissy of our Ice Moon Empire and Jalen, who is known as the butcher!" said some viewers excitedly.
"Chrissy, isn't Jalen a star in the Colosseum? That violent maniac can also participate in the Garden Trials? He's not a knight!"
"Who knows what the selection is all about. On the list released two days ago, it was him and Chrissy. Maybe you want to win by force, don't you want to watch Jalen abuse the knights of other empires in the competition?"
"It's well worth a look. Banko's airship has arrived!"
This time, Banko's airship was the first to arrive, and after landing, the people gathered in the center of the airship let out a huge cheer, and the people of the Ice Moon Empire were very enthusiastic, and they were also curious about what kind of strong people from other empires came.
At this time, the role of the media is reflected, the live broadcast equipment of the Ice Moon Empire is aimed at the hatch of the airship, and some reporters have begun to report on the scene.
"We saw the airship of the Banke Empire arrive, and according to the news released by the Banke Empire, the young knights sent by Banke this time are all elites from the Strategic Knight Brigade. The hatch opened, and the first to come down was Bancor's male knight, Luthor! This 2-meter-tall man was an elite knight known as the fortress, and his weapon was a war axe. Oh, he's so chivalrous!" the reporter watched as Luthor walked down, and the big man didn't go far, and then turned back and helped the female knight who had come down with him and was about to walk down the stairs.
"This beautiful and generous female knight is Masami, and the title is Electric. Also one of Bancor's famous knightly elites. The male is majestic, and the female is feminine. Banko has put in a lot of money this time, and it seems that he wants to fight for a good seat in the garden trial!"
Before the words fell, the two knights of Banko got on the reception snowmobile of the Ice Moon Empire and left the scene together. The two sat in the car and kept waving to the people who were hot money, looking very stylish.
Immediately after, another airship arrived. Hanging on it was Kazan's flag, and the airship made a dazzling air flutter and landed in a gorgeous posture.
"That's a really showy way. The reporter announced, "Oh my God, the knight jumped down!"
It's not just airships that love to be in the limelight, but Kazan's knights love to show off too. The knight who jumped off the outer deck was a handsome and dashing red-haired knight, who was carrying a little girl on his back and standing on the ground in a very handsome landing position.
"This is Judona and Oloria from Kazan! Oh my God, that's a thrilling way to play. Yudona is the Radiant Knight of Kazan and is known as the Scimitar Reaper. This guy has beheaded more than 1,000 thieves on the border battlefield, and his name can make the thieves fearful! Olori is the little girl he carries, don't underestimate this 15-year-old girl, she is a genius knight who has hammered and killed giant beasts in the ruins. One with a scimitar and the other with a short hammer! a combination of strength and speed!"
The people were very fond of this way of showing off, and the cheers came one after another. The two knights of Kazan enjoyed the sight and waved enthusiastically as they were also sent away by the receiving vehicle.
After some more time, three airships flew over at the same time. This is the airship of the three empires of Shenghui, Dean, and Ambra, and they have arrived together.
"Oh, the airship of the Radiant Empire landed first. This is a stable appearance, and the first to come down is Jack, the Shining Knight of the Holy Radiance Knights, this guy is a knight who fights the enemy empty-handed, and has the title of a martial artist. Is this to promote the Holy Martial Arts in the Ice Moon Empire? And this blonde girl, my God, this is Marianne! The deputy head of the Divine Radiance Knights! A super strong knight with real status among the younger generation of knights, I remember her title is Raging Heavenly Damnation, and she uses a knight's heavy sword. ”
"The knight of the Dean Empire has also come out, it is the heavy cannon Hanny! There is also the female knight Fansina, this one is known as the Silver Viper! These two have a very high appearance rate on the battlefield, Dean actually sent these two, and they are really ambitious for the garden trial!" The reporter exclaimed excitedly.
"The last to appear is the knight of the Ambra Empire, and the first to come down is a male knight. Belch. The reporter was stunned for a moment, and kept glancing at the information provider who was assisting next to him. However, the informant also looked at the reporter with an ugly face, he really did not have any record of the knight's reputation, only a little basic information.
"This male knight of Ambra is named Egret. We have very little information about him. The reporter said, glancing at the wordboard. "Oh my God, he's actually the guardian knight of the Ambra Pearl!Princess Theresia's guardian knight?!"
"It seems that Ambra, the old empire, is still bound to win the garden trial, and even the heir of the empire has sent out the knights!
"He was followed by Lulu, the dragon knight, Lulu, the young girl who had hunted dragons, and was the famous chief of the Royal Order of Ambra. This cooperation is really amazing, and I'm a little worried about the female knights of other empires!"
The reporter was exclaiming, but saw something more violent happening on the field.
Ignoring the obstruction of her companions, Marian, the knight of the Holy Radiance Empire, actually directly drew her giant sword and pointed it at the white herret, making a provocative move!
That's enough to rise to a diplomatic event!
The reporter shouted excitedly: "My God, what's the matter?! The Marian Knight actually provoked Ambra's Egret Knight, and before the garden trial began, these two were already full of gunpowder!"
This is in the Ice Moon Empire! And in the halls!
Of course they won't really fight. The egret couldn't have imagined that the knight selected by the Holy Radiance Empire turned out to be a violent maniac named Marianne!
However, the egret is not the original egret, otherwise, it would definitely be tempted to go toe-for-tat with Marianne, and the current egret is helpless and makes an ambiguous smile. Then he thought about it like a spring breeze, and the knights of the two countries performed a standard knightly etiquette. It was as if Marianne's provocation had not been taken to heart in the slightest.
Such an excellent posture and demeanor obviously made people feel comfortable, and the most enthusiastic response was probably the audience on the side.
Some of them howled, not afraid of the excitement. Some praised it again and again, thinking that the Egret's behavior was worthy of a knight representing the Ambra Empire, and that he behaved as a gentleman and had comprehensive etiquette.
"Did you step on that tail?" Lulu smiled and waved at the crowd as she said something that didn't match her expression at all.
The white herret's face remained unchanged, and he spoke without hesitation: "I have nothing to do with that violent woman." Then he explained what had happened to Illian and the others, and this was what Lulu understood.
"Loyalty beyond the ordinary," Lulu replied, "or this Marianne is unexpectedly easy to deal with." ”
"Then you're wrong. Egret shook her head, "Marianne's stubbornness and personality are straightforward, but that doesn't mean it's easy to be taken advantage of. If someone underestimates her because of this, or uses her character to make a fuss, they will suffer a big loss. "How can someone who can be the deputy head of the Holy Radiance Empire, especially the person who is paired with the future Pope Ilian, be a simple-minded, reckless and willful guy. In particular, Illian is still a child who has not had much political struggle, and in an old religious country like the Shenghui Empire, he doesn't know how much he will be attacked, and it is impossible for the current Pope to arrange a simple and reckless guy by his side.
"Since you know it, I naturally won't touch the moldy head. But I don't think it's easy to say on Dean's side. Lulu glanced at Dean's two knights and exchanged their heads, their eyes did not leave Marianne, and they probably had a plan in their hearts.
The reception of the Ice Moon Empire quickly picked up the six knights and drove towards the station together.
The Garden Trials are divided into etiquette, music, history, chess, wisdom, and finally the ability to fight, which is carried out in order. Ritual competitions were held in the Ice Moon Empire, music competitions in the Dean Empire, history competitions in the Divine Radiance Empire, war chess competitions in Banko, wisdom competitions in Kazan, and finally battle competitions in Ambra.
Of course, the Garden Trial is no longer the overtly active activity of the upper classes in ancient times. In today's society, the Garden Trial has evolved into a live reality show.
So the content of the competition, of course, will not be you left and right, as if one-on-one in front of everyone is so dull. Every trial will be different.
"What are you kidding?" the hot-tempered Jalen jumped up, "What etiquette are you calling us to teach?"
As soon as the trial officer of the Ice Moon Empire released the content of the first trial, Jalen was furious, what kind of knightly style did he have, although he had also experienced a certain degree of etiquette training, but when it came to an emergency, this guy couldn't hold it back.
Chrissy tugged at his arm and reminded Jalen with her eyes that she was on the air all the time. Jalen was aggrieved and sat down with a blushing face.
"The trial examines your manners. If it were just your own performance, I don't believe anyone would be able to find fault with the elite knights of all countries like you. The trial officer first brought high hats to everyone, and then said: "So this time, we will randomly select six noble maidens from the Ice Moon Empire and hand them over to you, and you need to become the mentors of the maidens and teach them the etiquette norms. Of course, the girls are lively and cheerful by nature, and they have not received much etiquette education. In terms of teaching, I still need a lot of attention from the knights. Speaking of which, the trial officer was simply smiling evilly.
The audience knows the inside story, and the media outside have long announced the information of the six girls, all of whom are well-known thorns in the aristocratic families in the Ice Moon Empire. The audience was laughing, excited and enthusiastic. If nothing else, this trial will be nothing short of spectacular.
What could be more eye-catching than seeing a big man like an elite knight from all over the world make a fool of himself in front of the live broadcast?
"Of course, what the final result of the teaching will be, we will have a liturgical competition in seven days, when etiquette experts from various empires will be invited to evaluate. The order of the girls' etiquette ranking is the final result of each of you. Please do your best to bring a wonderful competition to the trial!"
