Chapter 13: Queen, You Hurt Me Again!
In the early morning, there was a cry of cold wind outside the window, and in the distance, a thin trace of light had just emerged from the darkness, like a sleepy eye that had just opened, announcing that a new day was coming.
β......β
Yalei then opened his eyes, and after getting dressed, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window where the cold wind was whining, and opened the thick curtains, and found that the snow was drifting in the courtyard, fluttering like butterflies in the morning light.
It's not a storm...... It's a blizzard......
He looked at the sky with some headaches, but he didn't see the sun, only a hazy clear light.
The northern Celtic region is sparsely populated, and most of the people are nested in remote mountain villages, so it is difficult to find a reference when walking into the wilderness.
"Are you awake?"
Charlene wrapped her wet hair in a white bath towel, walked over from the direction of the bathroom, stopped in front of the wardrobe, took out a set of white training clothes, and said to him:
"Soon after we returned, it began to snow in the evening, and now the snow has blocked the road, but it doesn't matter, I have prepared a directional scroll for you and placed it on the weapon rack. β
The black-haired knight's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he took a sip of the water handed by the ghost maid, moistened his throat, and asked in a low voice:
"Yesterday...... Didn't you sleep all night?"
β......β
The green-haired girl gave him a faint look, turned away in silence, and walked into the locker room beside her with her training clothes.
β......β
Yalei understood the other party's current mood, but he didn't know how to enlighten him, so he simply approached the bathroom in silence, and after quickly washing up, he walked to the weapon rack and grabbed the rapid-fire cannon and directional scroll, and quickly left the Earl's Palace.
When I walked out of the doorway. The black-haired knight turned around and waved in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, the winter sun shining on his side, outlining a warm silhouette.
......
In the midst of the blizzard, Yalei relied on the guidance of the directional scroll and walked quickly to the training camp of the new army, because he did not deliberately ignite the fighting spirit. As a result, the snow quickly accumulated on him, turning it into a moving "snowman".
A short gun that pierces one's own heart.
In his spare time, the black-haired knight has been thinking about what kind of short spear can pierce his heart in this world.
Ever since he awakened the power of origin and became the top fifth-order knight, he had never encountered an opponent worthy of a battle. Not to mention the kind of rune warriors who rely on props in the Highland Kingdom, even if it is Ilunciya and Geneviv, this kind of origin knight who is gifted and enjoys the blessings of the ancestors. Yalei believed that he could win without the help of the Holy Sword.
In other words, there are only a handful of opponents in this world who can defeat him by force, at least not in the Highland Kingdom.
Moreover, the black-haired knight's steel fighting qi protective performance is very good, only the heart is the door of death in the whole body, and the heart is the strongest part of his body.
You know, the strength of this heart, which contains the essence of the previous generation of witch queens, was not damaged even by Figres's full force. Hence the defeat of Yalei. And piercing his heart in battle, not at all a level of difficulty.
Since guessing from the direction of personal ability. The possibility is slim, so the short gun that Elena said must have some kind of magical ability.
More than the heart itself is immortal!
Thinking about it like this, Yalei quickly thought of all kinds of legendary weapons, and the Highland Kingdom didn't seem to have any legendary weapons.
That is, it is likely that the short gun came from the two giants of the Liberty League. It could also be a rune item at the bottom of the highland kingdom...... In any case, it must be extremely powerful.
All in all, since the opponent wants to kill him with props, then he has to find a way to get a protective armor.
Where can I get protective armor?
In the midst of the snowstorm, the black-haired knight looked at the white snow in front of him. I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The first choice must be the legendary royal arsenal that has collected several world treasures, but how can he speak, could it be that he has a good relationship with the current witch queen, and he also listened to the other party's prophecy?
Witches are what everyone shouts and beats, and they are wanted by the whole country!
With that said, Aree believed that he might accompany Shelton to a foreign land to gnaw sand.
Or rather...... Tell His Majesty the Emperor the truth, he does not plan to continue to grind with the Highland Kingdom, and is sharpening his sword Huo Huo is preparing to fight with them, please borrow a talisman armor to strengthen your courage.
As for whether you will fight or not, sorry...... Will be subject to the king's order outside...... Ministers must fight!
Arei thought about it carefully, and felt that he could not die like this.
After slowly advancing in the snow for a long time, the black-haired knight thought about it and felt that there was only one reliable way, and that was to let the highland merchant Gilred fake information, claiming that the highland kingdom had obtained a powerful secret treasure and was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.
Then arrange for Pulit to report this important news, in this way, His Majesty the Emperor should not be reluctant to give up a piece of protective armor, anyway, there are many old people there, and many holy swords can be placed in front of the door of the Five Military Governor's Mansion as decorations.
......
Three days later, Alonidan, Yongle Palace.
Dressed in a white off-the-shoulder draggar robe, Atalan walked through the orange-lit hallway with a document in his hand, a thick, soft wool carpet engulfing the footsteps, all surprisingly quiet.
A court maid hurried past with a forklift cart, and like most women, she didn't forget to stare at his handsome face a few more times.
Atalan smiled generouslyβhe was used to this kind of attention.
He was born a gelding, and since he was a child, he was regarded as a holy being by the Church, and the local bishop adopted him and trained him to praise the Gospel of God.
Born with a disability may also be a talent, Atalan's voice is loud and clear, better than the castrated song, so he was recommended to Emperor Romulus by the Ecumenical Patriarch.
When he gently hooked the strings, opened his pink lips, and matched the long and poignant sound of the piano, the song as clear as the water of the glacier quickly moved the supreme supreme.
Then...... You know, in the culture of Rosevia, it is actually a matter of elegance. Especially in the eyes of philosophers and clergy, the love of men and men is often purer and nobler than that of men and women.
Afterwards, Emperor Romulus was so impressed with Atalan's performance that he took him from the Patriarch, and the young man rose to prominence and soon became a court eunuch specializing in the service of the king.
Now. He stood in front of the door of the emperor's study, and reached out and gently knocked on the intricately carved metal door:
"Your Majesty, clerk of the Celtic Doge's Palace. β
"Come in. A deep voice came through the door.
Atalan reached out and pushed open the hidden door, and a cold air poured out of the study, and he unconsciously pulled his shoulders together, trying to wrap the tuning robe tighter.
Although the Celtic at this moment is already cold and windy, Alonidan, who is close to the Mediterranean, is still warm as spring, and the supreme's body is too good, so he usually likes cold rather than heat. Therefore, the landing area is fully air-conditioned.
The eunuch walked into the room with his feet raised, then turned around and reclosed the thick metal door to prevent the cold air from draining and displeasing the lord.
The study room of Yongle Palace is not very large compared to the other rooms, but it is also the favorite place of Emperor Romulus, the decoration is naturally majestic, the four walls are full of shiny glass paintings, and the dome is hung with several rows of beautifully carved magic chandeliers. There is no ignition at the moment.
The light in the room came from the blinds on the wall, and the air conditioning came from the trident next to the lamppost. The dim cold light cast a tiny glow on the wall, swaying slightly.
The burly figure of Emperor Romulus sat in the swivel chair beside his desk, and he raised his head and looked at the other with gentle eyes:
"Come, come to me. β
"Documents from the Celtic Doge's Palace. β
Atalan's delicate face flushed slightly, and he repeated what he had said outside the door. Then he walked to the Supreme and handed over the paperwork in his hand.
β......β
The Emperor took the paperwork, then glanced at his trembling body, waved his right hand quietly, and the cold light on the trident disappeared immediately.
The blinds were also rolled up at the same time. Stacked above the window, the hot and humid mist curled up, and with the warm breeze blowing outside the window, Atalan's face softened.
Only then did the Supreme cast his gaze on the paperwork, regaining his statue-like solemnity, and after a long time, he said sharply: "This small highland kingdom is really bold. β
"What's wrong?"
Queen Shalan's voice came unexpectedly, and with a smart and gentle step, the beautiful queen pushed open the metal door and glanced at Atalan faintly.
walked straight to the high-backed chair opposite the emperor's bookcase, unfolded the ivory fan in his hand, and sat down with a smile.
"According to the secret report from the Celtic side, the cheap dogs of the Fannon family are secretly making small moves and plotting to assassinate the important ministers of the empire. β
His Majesty the Supreme still sat still, but a trace of anger appeared on his face: "This barbarian scumbag really thinks that I dare not touch him?"
"What do you say about the Celtic governor's palace?" the queen shook the ivory fan of her fingers, and glanced at the eunuch standing beside her with an understated look.
"Nope. β
The Emperor then beckoned, motioned for Atalan to help him knead his shoulders, and continued:
"According to the secret report from the Polisian side, Cardinal Yousseph, who is resident in the Highland Kingdom, recently returned to the Pantheon of Nations and spent some time alone with the Pope. Combined with the news of the Celtic Governor's Palace, it is really suspicious, and this matter cannot be left unguarded. β
Queen Sharan had to look away from the eunuch and asked with a smile:
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"The Bernstein boy wanted me to give him a talisman, and I agreed. β
Emperor Romulus narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, thought for a moment, and said slowly:
"I plan to give him the dragon's blood armor I got from the Far North, and wearing that armor will not only be difficult to hurt with a spear and sword, but also withstand a mortal injury. β
"I have a different opinion. β
The queen covered her thin lips with a fanning ivory fan, and said softly:
"That kid himself is immortal, plus the natural disaster weapon of steel fighting energy, it is not much worse than the defense of the evil dragon blood armor, Your Majesty gave him another evil dragon blood armor, wouldn't the effect overlap?"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
The Supreme looked attentive.
"That kid is in the Southern Celts, and even if someone had the intention to assassinate him, it would be only a few people, and I don't think that this person can threaten the strongest warriors in the world. β
Queen Saran pursed her lips and smiled, and continued:
"Also, I don't think he's missing a deterrent weapon in his hands. It is used to intimidate the Highland Kingdom. Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to give him a high-powered weapon, so that the child will definitely be much easier, and maybe the Highland Kingdom will change its mind because of this. β
"It makes sense, this is the cure. Emperor Romulus thought for a moment. Feeling reasonable, he continued to ask, "What kind of weapon do you think I should give him?"
His Majesty Sharan cast his gaze out the window at the rising sun in the east, and said with some distraction:
"Legend has it that after the disappearance of the land of Seris due to the Great Shift, a hero was born from the sun in the farthest and oldest east. The gods prophesied that he would die by the spear, and the sun, not wanting to see his son fall, gave him the light to be immortalized in golden armor. Later, in the war of the gods, this hero fell into a desperate situation. The golden armor turned into a spear, and with an avalanche of light, it killed all his enemies, and he himself disappeared in the light. β
His Majesty the Emperor's face immediately became a little strange, and he said in surprise:
"You mean the extinguishing spearβobedient to death?"
"I think it's a good fit for him. β
Queen Sharan smiled at her husband: "With this spear in hand, the Highland Kingdom will no longer have the courage to assassinate him." β
"But ......"
Emperor Romulus was hesitant, not because he was reluctant to use the gun, but because the history and name of the gun were too obscure. Don't let the Bernstein kid be killed by it, he still has a lot of use.
"Your Majesty has nothing to worry about. That kid is an immortal, with the strongest body, plus this extremely powerful spear, how can the Highland Kingdom kill him. β
"Makes sense. β
His Majesty the Emperor was finally convinced, and immediately stood up from the swivel chair and said to Atalan behind him:
"Take me on a trip to the Royal Arsenal. β
"Yes. β
The beautiful eunuch bent down. Softly replied.
......
Glamorgan, the ruins of nightmares.
After receiving half a month of training, the neat footsteps of the new-style army stirred up billowing smoke and dust, and rows of soldiers formed a horizontal formation for a while at the sound of the officer's command. One moment it becomes a column, another marches in neat strides, and the next it runs rapidly, showing a discipline and temperament completely different from that of the contemporaneous army.
I have to say that the wild Rosevians are easy to practice, simple, tenacious, and not very demanding, if the number is several times more, Yalei even feels that he can take the initiative to attack the high ground.
For the recruits, the boring training of the day was over quickly, and the black-haired knight left the camp after nightfall, and at the same time counted a few times on his fingers, thinking that in another half a month, he could conduct night training.
When he returned to the Earl's Court, he found an airship parked in the courtyard, and the bronze statue of the lion roaring in the sky behind the airship glowed dimly in the light of the jack-o'-lantern.
Isn't this the airship that Major Orient was on last time...... Come here at this time...... Could it be that his request was granted?
Yalei immediately looked happy, walked into the hall quickly, and found that the purple-haired major was really talking and laughing with Charlene, and after seeing him come back, the other party immediately stood up, opened his arms and said exaggeratedly:
"Your Excellency, you're so busy, I've been waiting here for two hours. β
"It can't be helped, who told you not to inform me before coming. The black-haired knight noticed a long metal box standing by the wall, and immediately hugged him with a smile on his face.
"Governor Yare, your application has been approved. β
Oride is not a person who likes to sell guanzi, so he immediately lifted the silver long metal box that was taller than him, held it in his hand, and handed it to the other party:
"His Majesty the Emperor feels that he has given you a weapon of great power. β
"Weapons?"
The black-haired knight was stunned for a moment, but still took the heavy metal box, looked at the other party's expression, and asked again with certainty:
"Weapons?"
"Yes, a weapon, a spear of boundless power. The purple-haired major said with envy on his face.
"How can it be a weapon, or a gun?"
Yalei looked at the metal box dumbfounded, showing a crying and laughing expression, he applied for a piece of armor, but the emperor gave him a spear, which is clearly a chicken and a duck.
"And ......"
Charlene raised her forehead covered with black lines, and said with a forced smile:
"The name of this gun is - Mortal Blade. β
What a bad luck this Nima is!
The black-haired knight's anger almost exploded, but because of Orient's face, he could only squeeze out a smile and ask: "Your Excellency Colonel, I applied for a piece of armor, why did Your Majesty give me a spear, could it be a mistake?"
"Make no mistake. β
The purple-haired major patted him on the shoulder and said happily:
"According to the eunuchs beside His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty was originally going to give you the Evil Dragon Blood Armor, but Empress Sharan felt that it was inappropriate. She thinks that the Highland Kingdom dares to assassinate you entirely because the Governor's Mansion is not a deterrent enough, and with this Blade of Destruction, they will definitely restrain a lot. β
Your Majesty Sharan, how much enmity do I have with you, and you want to harm me so much?
Yalei roared loudly in his heart, and on the surface he could only show a grateful expression:
"Please thank Your Majesty for your gifts. β
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll relay it for you. β
Oride pretended to look around for a moment, then touched his belly, and said to himself, "It's so late, I'm going back to dinner." β
"We've just been preparing dinner, please stay and dine together. The green-haired girl held back her slander and smiled like a flower and invited him to the table.
"Then you're welcome. β
The purple-haired major walked to the table and sat down in the high-backed chair with anticipation. (To be continued.) )
