Chapter 57: The Choice

"Your Excellency, you've pretty much mastered the basics. Korodov said, retracting his sword.

After two days of training, Stannis has mastered the basic skills of using a sword and has successfully graduated.

"Well, I'm a quick learner. He boasted to the chief knight that for an office man, the mere idea of not injuring himself with a sword was a great achievement.

Korodov still didn't know what he meant, because in his memory, Stannis was a master of swordsmanship, and picking at the throat of an enemy with a sword was as easy as eating and drinking.

"Your Excellency. He still couldn't help but ask.

Stannis, who was humming a ditty proudly, stopped, "What's wrong?"

"You haven't felt any changes in your body lately, have you?"

Stannis lowered his head and looked at his body, there was no mutation, "There is no change, why do you ask?"

Korodov thought for a while, but still had the courage to say his confusion, "Since the night you were held hostage by the witch, maybe a day or two later, I feel as if you have completely changed as a person, although your appearance and behavior are still the same as before, but the inner soul seems to have completely changed, you can't have been taken by that evil witch!"

After Robert, this guy also threw out questions, it seems that it is necessary to pay attention to this issue, and he will have to pay more attention to words and deeds in the future, otherwise he may really be a goof.

"Ahem," Stennis cleared his throat, "and what do you think of my change for good or bad?"

He threw out this rhetorical question, thus taking the initiative.

Sure enough, the knight-chief, who was not in his brain, replied obediently: "I don't know, although I shouldn't make any evaluation of my allegiance to you, but I still think that you are much better now than in the past year, because you have regained the courage that you were most proud of, the courage to move on." ”

"That's fine, I'm still me, it's just that the past year has been a mess and I'm in a mess. Now I've regrouped my mood, so it's like a different person, understand?" Stannis said as he continued.

Korodov nodded, still in doubt, but still confident that he wouldn't be with the wrong loyalty.

"Okay, it's hard for you to study with you for two days, let's have a half-day holiday in the afternoon, and I also have a good rest. Stannis unleashed the Enveloping Skill again.

"Hmm. The chief knight withdrew his sword and gave him a formal knightly salute.

Apparently dodging again this time, Stannis whistled towards the castle and saw from a distance that Maester Romon was walking towards him.

The old man had returned in the morning, and he had spent a day in the school town visiting his granddaughter, and he seemed very satisfied.

"Hey, old man, I'm looking for you!" Stannis grabbed him.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?" asked Maester Romon respectfully.

"Now I feel like I'm a big fighter and ready for the next level of specialization. But each training item should use its own weapons, and it's really annoying to pick and choose, so I want to ask you if there are any family heirlooms here that I want to inherit? ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Bachelor Romon almost cried in front of him.

It's just tears of joy.

"Your Excellency, I have been waiting for the day when you say this! I didn't expect it to come!" said Master Romon as he looked up to the sky.

Looking at the happy and forgetful old man in front of him, Stannis couldn't help but reach out and touch the other party to see if he was feverish.

"Aren't you crazy?" he asked tentatively.

Bachelor Romon then fell silent, and he took Stannis's hand and hurried towards the castle, as if he were afraid that he would regret it.

"Don't you be in such a hurry!" Stannis didn't know where the old man had come from so much strength, and felt as if his hand was caught in iron tongs, and he grinned in pain.

But Lady Romon didn't pay any attention to it, he had been waiting for this time for a long time, and he definitely couldn't let it go again.

Then they walked into the dimly lit basement of the castle, and by the light of the entrance, Stannis could see that a wall with a dragon's head carved into it appeared in front of him.

The walls are covered with cobwebs, and no one has been here for a long time. Stannis suddenly felt a little scared, as he could feel his heart beating rapidly, echoing the other side of the wall, and whatever was inside would resonate with his soul.

"I've been waiting for thirty years, thirty years! Finally it's my turn this time!hahaha!" shouted Maester Romon with his arms raised.

Stannis looked at the crazy old man a little scared, this guy can't be an evil character who has been lurking here for twenty years, just waiting for the time to sacrifice himself to an evil god like the Old Dominator in the hope of gaining a new life, right?

The old man suddenly withdrew his laughter and turned to look at him solemnly, "Accept the choice of fate, the twenty-fourth head of the Red Dragon Family, Stannis Hiraclius Basil Justine!"

In an instant, a sense of mission from the heavens ran through his body, and Stannis knew that his crossing must be carrying a certain mission.

At this time, the old man began to say again: "Every male descendant of the direct line of the House of Justins on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty must enter this treasure trove of dragons and choose a weapon that resonates with his fate, and this weapon will never be separated for the rest of his life. Until the day he dies, the weapon will return to the Dragon Treasury and his soul will return to his ancestors. ”

The story suddenly becomes serious, and Stannis listens with bated breath.

"Thirty years ago, your father also walked into the forbidden place of the Red Dragon Family, picked out a weapon of his own, and made a career. At that time, it was my teacher who was his witness, and I was standing on the sidelines, and I was thinking about when it would be my turn to witness a 'red dragon' accept his destiny, and it would be a moment of great honor. ”

Master Romon said, the pride on his face overflowing.

"But you, you escaped at the coming-of-age ceremony a year ago!" said Lady Romon covered his face with the back of his hand, looking like he couldn't look back on the past.

Stannis remained unwavering and even laughed a little, because the coward wasn't him.

"Thankfully, you've figured it out now, and it's a little late, but it's better than never. The old man then flashed to the side and raised his hand to the dragon wall.

"Make your choice, then, Your Excellency. ”

"Well, then how do I get my own divine weapon?"

Greeted by Lady Romon about his fateful choice, Stannis decided to pick a weapon to pick up his handy.

"Just click on it. "Lady Romon spreads his hands.
