Chapter 526: Legendary
Twenty-five days later, Rock Castle, Kerston City.
Rex was on the throne, his expression was deep and serious, his gaze was unfocused, and the index finger of his left hand, which was wearing a top-grade elemental crystal ring, lightly tapped the purple gold armrest. Those who knew him well knew that His Majesty the King was thinking at this time.
In the impression of the Marquis of Worrentert, King Rex was rough and brave, informal, and very strategic, but he was strong and introverted, good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and often let the vassals fully express their suggestions first, guide them secretly, and finally make a decision. He was not only a mighty Golden Knight, but also a beloved king among the people of Neville, and a statesman par excellence.
Rex would only look thoughtful in front of his vassals when he was under great pressure.
The Marquis of Worralter was not surprised, for the source of the problem was His Royal Highness Victor Win Randall.
The emergence of a new Highness in the human kingdom is a major event that has the potential to change the political landscape of a kingdom. It is customary for the Church to inform the kingdoms of the identity of the new Highness. But for the Great Lord, the influence of His Royal Highness of other countries on his own country is very limited, and as long as he sends a congratulatory gift, it is considered to be a good courtesy. Only the Divine Knight can attract the attention of the major forces.
The Sun Elves are also in the spotlight.
The Vice-Templar Commander informed the dioceses that Viscount Randall was about to mutate into a Sun Elf bloodline. In just ten days, Rock Fort received letters of inquiry from all the royal families and royal families. Rock Castle was embarrassed by the fact that Viscount Randall had been promoted to His Royal Highness in Neville, but he himself was not a nobleman of Neville. How to reply to the royal family's inquiries and how much information to disclose should be consulted by His Highness Randall, but Fort Rock has no way to communicate with His Highness Randall now, so he can only be vague in his reply.
Dealing with the inquiries and spying of the royal family is not the most difficult problem. Fort Rock is currently struggling to ensure the safety of His Highness Randall, and if he is killed in the fight with the fangs, Neville will immediately be pushed to the forefront of public opinion. How should the Rex family, as the master of inviting His Royal Highness Randall to visit the Kingdom of Neville, explain to the royal family of Gombis and Sylvia? Even His Majesty Clement may be implicated. If Clement were to be attacked by his political enemies and removed from the Pope's throne, it would have irreparable consequences for Neville's Middle Kingdom strategy.
Rex patted the purple and gold armrest of the throne, looked around the hall with amber eyes, and said: "The Queen of the Roses has sent an official note to all His Highnesses through the Church, and no one is allowed to interfere with His Highness Randall's hunting, otherwise don't blame her for not following the rules! ”
"His Highness Randall hunts for wind fangs, and there is also a possibility that something will happen...... I'm not sure if this is what Sylvia really thinks, so I wrote her a private message, but she didn't give any response. ”
Rex stroked his chin and bared his teeth and said, "The regent of Gombis has made a formal request to us, and Kite Castle wants us to keep His Highness Randall safe as much as possible and confirm his whereabouts. If, after 2 months, Randall has not finished the hunt, Kite Castle asks Fort Rock to intervene and summon him back to Gangbis. ”
"Sylvia and Kite Castle are at odds with each other, what do you say the Gambisians want to do?"
After a while, the palace minister of Worralter stood up and said, "Queen Rose obviously doesn't care about the personal safety of Her Highness Randall, she values more about whether her partner can be promoted to the Sun Elf bloodline. And the Auguste family, as the feudal lords of His Royal Highness Randall, have the obligation to protect the vassals. From that point of view, the note from the kite castle is beyond reproach. ”
"We can understand Sylvia's eagerness, and we can understand the position of the Kite Castle as a feudal lord...... High-sounding requests can be met with high-sounding reasons, and the warnings of the Divine Knight are definitely no joke...... In fact, we can interfere with the hunting process of His Highness Randall, but we cannot guarantee his personal safety. He and Wind Fang were too fast, the battle was too fierce, and there were many hand-to-hand fights. It was difficult for the Sword Mantis Knights to keep up with them, and they were unable to launch a timely rescue for His Highness Randall. ”
Rex's eyes flickered and he asked, "You mean, follow Sylvia's request and take a side-by-side attitude?"
Marquis Worralter bowed and said, "Yes." ”
Rex nodded, turned to the queen beside him and asked, "What do you think, dear?"
Satya raised a fan to cover her delicate red lips, her purple eyes turned slightly, she chuckled, and said, "The Eleano family is keen to study the knight bloodline, and the moon elf bloodline is the focus of the Suss royal family. It is known that the Wind Whispering Moon Elves are the source of the Wind Knights. The wind golden bloodline is powerful, but fickle, and it is the most difficult knight bloodline to maintain. Therefore, the Empress of Iron Mountain chose to leave the bloodline of the Divine Knight for the Barcelius family, rather than the Wind bloodline of the Sword Saint Draven. The royal family of the Iron Mountain Empire has lasted for more than 3,000 years, and the Barcelius family is still a golden bloodline. Although the four descendants of the Iron Mountain Empire originated from the golden bloodline of the Wind Sect of the Sword Saint Draven, they have all declined, and two of them have even died out. ”
"The kingdom of Cambis is building a political structure for the descendants of the royal family...... To be honest, I don't think the Yorkie bloodline can serve as a descendant of Gombis...... Sylvia prepares to emulate Empress Verrotica and leave the golden blood of the Divine Knights for the House of York. But what if Victor fails?"
"His Highness Randall fought with the Gnolls, and the possibility of his unfortunate fall has been put aside for the time being. The Moon Elf bloodline is different from the knight bloodline in that it has a degenerative phenomenon of unstable bloodline. His Highness Randall currently has the characteristics of golden eyes, but it is still some time before the blonde golden eyes stabilize form. In other words, even if he kills Wind Fang, it is still possible for him to degenerate into a Wind Whispering Moon Elf. ”
"Even though the Windwhisper Archer is of golden blood, he can't impregnate Sylvia, but he has a lower chance of giving birth to a Silver-tier Lady Knight. Victor's lover, Trisley, is a Knight of the Raging Waves, and his other lover, Phinex, even has the potential to impact the elemental sea. Auguste had even more options...... Princess Roland and the Marquess Sophia Wimbledon are sure to have an heir to the Windwhispering Archer offspring. ”
"His Highness Randall may leave two bloodlines in Gombis, one in Kite Castle and one in Goldwater City. According to the principle of heraldic marriage, after three generations, these two golden bloodlines of the wind system can intermarry with each other to ensure the purity and stability of the bloodline. With its golden bloodline, Gombis is enough to evolve into a thousand-year-old empire. ”
"Even if the high-ranking female knights of the York family fail to have children with Victor, Jinshui City can also exchange heirs through the royal family descendants and draw the golden blood from the kite. But in either case, within three generations, the York family and the Kite Castle need to use the female apprentice knight of the silver blood to maintain the purity of the golden blood of the wind system. The nobles of the Augustian family will make great sacrifices...... With this, the Rose Manor has to bow down to the Kite Castle. ”
The conflicting opinions of Rose Manor and Kite Castle reflect Sylvia's conflicting feelings. The Purple-Eyed Queen put down her fan, her red lips lifted lightly, and said confidently, "I'm sure Sylvia doesn't want her little lover to have an accident! As for whether Victor can be promoted to the Sun Elf, it doesn't matter to us. In fact, it was in Neville's interest that Cambis was missing a powerful Sun Elf. ”
"Kite Castle has set a deadline of one and a half months for His Highness Randall, and the longer he drags on hunting for Wind Fang, the greater the risk he takes. I suggest that the Knight of the Kite Castle be respected and let the Sword Mantis Knight join His Highness Randall's hunting operation!"
The queen's advice contradicted the opinion of the court scholars, and Rex shook his head and smiled, "You guys...... Why ignore the most important figures? Don't you see that Sylvia's public proclamation is actually the will of Victor's cousin?"
Satya frowned lightly and said hesitantly, "Wind Fang is not an ordinary monster, it has the ability to kill your cousin Victor. ”
Rex exchanged glances with Marquis Farul, who was sitting at the bottom of the house. The head of the Sword Mantis Knights comprehended, stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Lord Gong Xiang stays, and everyone else withdraws." ”
The Rock Fort scholars got up and left the conference room with the guards. Rex picked up the golden bell on the table and shook it, and a moment later, a mysterious man in a brown robe walked into the conference room alone through the secret door and bowed to the king and queen.
The mysterious man wore a silver mask on his face, unbelted, and was covered by loose robes, revealing even his gender. His outfit can avoid being peeped by the Marquis of Worrentert, but it can't hide from the eyes of the high-ranking knights.
Queen Satya asked in surprise, "Black Fox, how did you go back to Rock Castle, and how did the Sword Mantis Knight follow Randall and Wind Fang now?"
The mysterious man, codenamed Black Fox, is a wizard raised by the Rex family. His sorcery abilities can be traced back to the past, and it is the Black Fox that the Sword Mantis Knights rely on to firmly grasp the tail of the Wind Fang.
Rex vaguely explained, "The Black Fox was wounded in Earl de Caeser, and I ordered the Sword Mantis Knight to bring him back to recuperate. ”
The Marquis of Farul faced the queen and said, "Your Majesty, the Black Fox left the county of Decaeser, and the Sword Mantis Knights lost His Highness Randall and Wind Fang three days ago. When I came back this time, I asked the black fox to check their location and condition first. Then, take him back to the mountains and continue tracking the wind teeth. ”
Rex interrupted Farul with a wave of his hand and said, "Alright, let's see the recent battle between Cousin Victor and Windfang. ”
Farul took a small leather bag from his waist pocket and handed it to the wizard, but the other party took half a step back as if avoiding the snake and scorpion, as if the leather bag was hiding a deadly danger.
"Rest assured, this is the Wind Tooth Mane found by the Sword Mantis Knight in the valley on the east side of the Earldom of De Kaiser, and it has been carefully cleaned to ensure that there are no items belonging to His Highness Randall, or blood...... In fact, based on surveys of the scene, we are sure that His Highness Randall was not injured in this recent battle. ”
The black fox took the leather bag, held it in the palm of his left hand, and then stretched out his right palm, blue and green runes emerged from the void, rotating alternately, forming a mysterious circular pattern, and the water vapor in the air continued to converge, gradually turning into a water curtain.
The king, queen, courtier, and military minister of Neville stared intently at the water curtain. As the rune circles turned, the water curtain took on a clear sight.
It was the valley at night, the silver moon was dim, the river was murmuring, and a slender and straight figure appeared at the mouth of the valley, getting closer and closer, it was Viscount Randall. He wielded two pure gold swords, his steps were light, and his every move was full of compact and powerful coherence, but it also gave people a relaxed and leisurely feeling, and the two-headed dragon lizard leather armor on his body had three holes, located on his chest, under the ribs, and on his abdomen. Through the cracks in the leather armor, a few faint scars can be seen. Then he stopped, a playful smile on his handsome face, and a dark golden glow surging around his dark eyes.
The Marquis of Worralter clasped his hands to his chest uneasily, and through the curtain of water, he had the illusion that Viscount Randall had insight into all the secrets, and felt a chill from the heart, as if the blood in his whole body was frozen.
The water curtain suddenly widened, Viscount Randall raised his slender eyebrows, and a faint blue streamer lit up on his body, and disappeared without a trace, replaced by a rapidly reversing scene.
The speed of the picture change was too fast, the water curtain was blurry, and the Marquis of Worralter was dizzy, irritable and nauseous, and couldn't help but want to vomit.
"Black Fox, stop. ”
The blue-green rune circle slowly stopped dissipating, and the water curtain suddenly turned into a white mist and spread indoors. The black fox lowered his dangling right arm, bowed slightly, and retreated to the corner of the conference room.
"Is it better, old dog?" asked King Rex with concern.
Marquis Worralter gasped for a moment and nodded with a wry smile. Rex set his eyes on the black fox and asked, "How long can Windfang's mane set you back?"
The black fox stretched out four fingers and flipped the back of his hand, indicating that he could go back four days before and after.
Rex smiled: "It seems that you are recovering well, go down and get ready, and when my side is over, we will go to track the wind teeth together." ”
The black fox nodded, and walked through the side door of the conference room without saying a word. When his footsteps disappeared, Marquis Farul spoke, "Let me explain, the scene just now is the vision and feeling of the wind teeth. ”
"The valley was very dark at that time, and the graphics were clear due to the night vision of the wind teeth. The beast is proficient in stealth and stealth, and unless it deliberately exposes its tracks, it is almost impossible to track it down at night by normal means. And Viscount Randall found its hiding place directly. What does that mean?"
The Marquis of Worralter groaned, "I've heard that the Wind Whisperer can probe a few kilometers away......"
"It's not that simple. ”
Queen Satya looked solemn, shook her head slowly, and said, "His Royal Highness Randall used the wind language to find the gnolls, so how did he know that the wind teeth were hiding in that valley? I saw that His Highness Randall was full of energy, and his whole body was filled with great strength, and even the gold-rank gnolls trembled at it. Moreover, Wind Fang has a dangerous instinct, and judging from its escape performance, it is not like deliberately leaving traces in order to ambush Viscount Randall, but simply hiding...... Why was His Highness Randall able to accurately find the gold-rank gnolls who were deliberately lurking?"
Rex sighed and said, "What comes to mind is the mental intuition of Tournans and Caligula. ”
The palace minister of Worralter muttered, "How can it be mental intuition? Sword Saint Draven doesn't have this ability......"
"We know too little about the Sun Elves, and just because His Majesty Ravin doesn't have it doesn't mean that Cousin Victor doesn't. ”
Rexton paused and continued: "The two have different era backgrounds, different environments, different growth experiences, and it is reasonable to awaken different Sun Elf talents. Just now, I saw Victor use the Void Wind Element to dodge the attack of the Wind Fangs, which is an ability that Ravin does not possess. ”
"The difference in talent between Victor and Ravin can be discussed later. ”
Marquis Farul said, "He dodged so fast that the Wind Tooth couldn't catch it with his eyes. When Wind Fang fled for his life, he chose to face His Highness Randall, why didn't it turn around and flee? There was only one possibility, and its wild intuition told it that it would die if it turned its back to His Highness Randall! This was the intuitive impression left by Victor's will on Wind Fang...... He forced Stormfang to fight him!In fact, Randall let Stormfang go once more, cutting off only a strand of its mane......"
Speaking of this, Marquis Farul paused for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "Wind Fang no longer poses a threat to His Highness Randall, Victor can find it and kill it at any time! ”
A legendary archer capable of melee combat with gold-tier gnolls and a talent for psychic intuition and wind talk?!
There was silence in the conference room, and the palace minister of Worralter lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why didn't His Highness Randall take his life?"
King Rex glanced at the old marquis and said lightly, "Are you scared? I am also scared...... I can tell you that the Wind Fang ambushed Victor at least three times, but each time it was a frontal attack, and each time it failed. If it can sneak up on Victor from behind, even if it's only once, Victor is dead. However, Wind Tooth couldn't do it, and Victor didn't give it any chance. Victor has been able to control the pace of the battle throughout, and he has become stronger and stronger in battle, even in the face of bloodthirsty fangs. ”
"You guessed it right, Victor is using the Wind Fang to improve his strength, his newly awakened bloodline talent has not yet stabilized, and if someone intervenes in his hunt, it may cause his bloodline talent to degenerate. But I can guarantee that whoever that person is, he will take the place of Wind Fang and become the target of Victor's hunt. So, don't have inexplicable thoughts...... You say, what kind of impact will Victor's cousin's success in stepping into the ranks of legendary powerhouses have on Neville?"
Worralter thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Good and harmless!"
"Good and harmless...... I think so too. Rex nodded and said with a smile: "The Northern Empire supported by the Knights of Radiance and the Southern Empire supported by the Council of Cardinals balance each other, and our geographical advantage determines the pattern of the Middle Kingdom of Neville...... Well, prepare for the king's car and the bounty of 200,000 gold soles, and I would like to congratulate Cousin Victor as soon as possible. ”
"As you wish, my majesty. The palace minister and the Marquis of Farul got up at the same time and bowed off.
After the two adults left the meeting room, Rex turned to the queen and said, "My dear, the Queen Mother of Cambis has gone to the county of De Kaiser, and she does not like any of the high-ranking female knights now. During my time at Rock Castle, you'll have to keep an eye on the high-ranking female knights of Kgston, and don't let them run to the county of Decaeser and be bored. ”
Satya raised her willow eyebrows and said angrily, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to explain it to your queen?"
Rex scratched his hair and asked confusedly, "Explain what?"
"As a wizard, the black fox is protected by high-level knights and arcane warriors, so why is he injured without participating in the battle?
"Oh...... It's a thing. ”
Rex slapped the queen's slender hand and smacked his lips and said, "The black fox got the fragment of armor left behind by Victor and wanted to retrace his battle vision, but he fell unconscious on the spot...... According to the 'Doctor', the Black Fox spied on Randall's Highness and suffered a witchcraft backlash and wounded his soul. Fortunately, Farul sent someone back to the Rock Fort in time, otherwise he would have been abolished. ”
Satya's face turned pale, and she said in horror, "How can this be......?
Rex shook his head and said, "How can a Moon Elf bloodline nobleman be a wizard...... I reckon it's because Victor is under the watchful eye of the Divine Knights. Any snooping involving the Knights of the Gods, even if the first Pope casts a great prophecy spell, will have unpredictable consequences. The level of witchcraft of the black fox is too far from the great prophecy of the Pope and the Pope, and it is not surprising that he used witchcraft against Victor and was affected by Sylvia, and was swallowed by witchcraft. ”
Satya froze and said, "I always thought that the god knight surpassed all magic and witchcraft was just a legend...... Unexpectedly, Sylvia really has incomparable power. ”
Rex was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sylvia and the Divine Knight can't be simply confused, but if she unblocks all her powers, she can feel it even if someone mentions her name...... This is my understanding of the origin of the world. However, what happened to the Black Fox convinced me that Neowest dared to harm Victor's life, and Sylvia would know it immediately...... It saved us a lot of trouble. ”
"Neowest has infiltrated the county of Decaiser?"
"Hmm. Rex nodded with a dull expression.
Satya smiled, shook her husband's hand, and said with relief, "Don't worry, dear. Emperor Rand had no intention of harming His Highness Randall...... Not even more capable of this. ”
"I even doubt now that he had the guts to appear alone in front of His Highness Randall. ”
