The knight's mind and body are one, after stepping into the transcendent realm, the temperament is outward, born from the heart, calm, wise, free, reserved, majestic, rough, wild, each with its own distinctive characteristics, and when it reaches the golden level, the knight's appearance and age will change with the change of mood.

Roland was less than the peak of her achievements at the age of 20, and now she is 31 years old, she has encountered all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, experienced the pain of losing her father and mother, defeated the famous Unicorn Knights, personally killed high-ranking knights, ordered the slaughter of the vassal soldiers of the Rand Empire, and did many embarrassing things that make people laugh and cry, but she has always looked like a girl, full of vitality, pure and flawless, joy, anger and sorrow are all on her face, like a crystal clear stream, which can be seen at a glance.

Sylvia, on the other hand, thought that Roland was like a cloud in the sky, unpredictable and elusive. As a god knight who controls the four elements, she hates people who don't play their cards according to common sense, whether they are opponents or collaborators.

Roland has all three.

No one can ignore the influence of a golden knight, especially Roland, who has the strongest armed force in the Kingdom of Gambis, and she orders all the major lords, including Sylvia, to respond to her call to war. Arguably, Roland is one of the most powerful people today. However, Roland's mind is pure, agile and ethereal, no one knows what she will do, and her seemingly random actions are like her extraordinary sword skills, which are difficult to parry.

Sylvia could support Williams on the throne, or Prince Edward, but she didn't want Roland August to become the monarch of Gambis. In Sylvia's eyes, Princess Roland was a big trouble that she feared.

Now, big trouble is coming......

The agents of the Kite Castle intercepted Sophia's hidden gold, which was a fortune of more than four million gold soles.

The annual financial income of the Gambis royal court is only about 1.5 million gold soles, and after deducting various expenses, the remaining is not more than 400,000. If the Auguste family had received 4 million gold soles, they could have solved many problems. However, Roland ordered the Night Stalker to give up the collection of the saber-toothed tiger merchants' gold, and asked Sophia to transfer the money to the centaur hills, where it was stored in the treasury of the Rose Manor.

Sylvia couldn't guess Roland's intentions, and she wasn't prepared to accept Roland's favors.

"Roland, that money belongs to Sophia, but it can't be considered a gift from you. Sylvia paused, and then said, "I'm going to build a port, and Williams is going to build a port, and it's not certain who Sophia will give her money to." ”

"I don't care if you take this huge amount of money alone or let Sophia take charge. Anyway, you have a chance now, and I gave you the opportunity. Roland pursed his lips and said, "Moreover, my gift to you is not four million gold soles, but Sophia. ”

"I whispered to Sophia to get the gold to the Centaur Hills, or Catherine would have her money seized from the treasury. Sophia was frightened, after this incident, can she trust the Kite Castle except to take shelter behind you?, should you thank me?" Roland smiled slyly.

Sophia has no loyalty to the royal family, and the Kite Castle has no obligation to protect her, so taking Sophia in will be under pressure from the Knights of Radiance, and it is in the interests of the Auguste family to keep the money and not the talent.

Looking at Roland's triumphant appearance, Sylvia was no longer able to argue with her, but said expressionlessly: "I thank you......."

"If you want to thank me, answer my question!" Roland said urgently, tapping his toes on the lawn, stopping the swing.

"......" Sylvia sighed silently and said helplessly, "You ask." ”

"Who can let the Divine Knight escape in a hurry, give up the territory that the family has run for generations, and lead his people to move west and reopen a new territory?" Roland opened his eyes wide, stared at Sylvia's face, and said word by word: "Neovestre alone can't make you back down, they are two people...... Or, three people. ”

Sylvia stroked her shawl hair, sat down on the hanging chair beside Roland, swayed gently, and sighed faintly: "Roland, force cannot solve all problems...... I also have something to do. She tilted her head and asked, "How did you come up with that?"

"It's not that you can't think of it, but everyone doesn't dare to think about it, and you don't dare to say it when you think of it. Roland shook his head, tiptoeing, and the chair swinged again, "Konstantin told a story, I'll tell you a story too......"

"1,500 years ago, the Knights of Radiance seized the opportunity to oust the Papal line from the throne of power, and the Paladins seized control of the Church, but there was one family that remained loyal to the Pope, and that was the royal family of the El Cult, Nakhtigar. ”

"The six paladin families have held the divine power of the church, and they are not satisfied, and they have extended their hands to the secular power. 700 years ago, two legendary paladins plotted against the emperor of the Rand Empire, and as a result, they lost their holy powers, and they took control of the Freitte family as the Golden Knights, and eventually unified the north and founded the Sassanian Empire. ”

"With the establishment of a secular regime, the power and influence of the Paladin family has become greater. Whoever they didn't like, they let the Inquisition trouble him, and if the clergy lost their magical powers, they joined the Fredet family and strengthened the secular power. ”

"The paladin's unscrupulous style of behavior is remarkable, and everyone in the lords is in danger, especially the secular lords of the Sassan Empire. So, Nakhtigarh joined forces with the Barcelius family of Sassan to secretly call on the knightly nobles and the ordinary clergy to launch a counterattack, which was the rebellion of the Holy City 300 years ago. ”

Roland said lazily: "Our August family was involved in that matter, and due to the ancestor's secret oath, it is inconvenient for me to disclose the specific details. In short, the heads of the six Paladin families were almost wiped out, and finally they signed the Bright New Covenant, promising not to abuse the law enforcement power of the Inquisition, and the White Tower camp was formed. ”

Sylvia nodded and said, "I can guess if you don't say it." Although the Knights of Radiance were arrogant, they successfully blocked the invasion of the orcs, and even had the possibility of counterattacking the northern wilderness. In this case, no one wants the papal line to return to power. At the most critical moment, the secular lords and the ordinary clergy turned their backs on the Pope and Nakhtigar at the same time, and they reached an agreement with the Radiant Knights, whereby the Papal Cardinal and the Presbyterian Order of the Monastic broke away from the control of the Radiant Knights, received missions, levies the eleventh tax, distributed relief supplies, and the right to train the clergy, while supervising the Radiant Knights in the execution of the Bright New Covenant. ”

"On the other hand, the six major paladin families have completed the integration of the Sassan Empire, and the contradictions between them have also come to the fore. Although the Sasang royal family is related to the six major paladin families, the status of secular knights and paladins is completely different, and no paladin is willing to give up the power of divine magic. The six major paladin families do not want their children to degenerate into secular knights, and I am afraid that there will be open and secret battles between them.

The New Testament of Light clearly stipulates that the divine right belongs to the divine right, the world belongs to the world, and the inquisition only has the power to exile and imprison the knights and nobles, but not the right to execute. This is not only in the interests of the secular lords, but also in line with the actual needs of the Radiant Knights, after all, the Frerett family has their own heritage, but their bloodline has been marked by the Paladin family, and they have always been the staunchest supporters of the Radiant Knights. ”

"The Knights of Radiance no longer interfered in secular politics with theocracy, the knightly lords allowed the Fredet family to participate in secular battles, and the ordinary clergy were given a voice. With the exception of the Pope and Nakhtigar, there were no losers in the Holy City Rebellion. ”

Roland said with a look of adoration: "It is worthy of the god knight I admire, and you are all right." ”

"There is a rule to follow in everything...... Sylvia said lightly, and said angrily: "Except for you!"

"Is that a compliment?" said Roland, bowing his head in delight.

"Humph!"

The two most prestigious female knights of the day no longer spoke, facing the moonlight, gently swinging on the swings, like estranged sisters.

After a moment, Roland broke the quiet atmosphere and spoke: "Nakhtigarh and the Pope are angry, they find that they can no longer defeat the Knights of Radiance by theocracy, so they follow the example of their opponents and set their sights on secular power. Nakhtigarh, as king, announced that the Kingdom of El had joined the Rand Empire, and that the Imperial Family was the object of their support, and that the Neovist family was the victim of the Radiant Knights' support of secular power. Now, my father, Ryan Auguste, has also become a victim of the Pope's support for secular power!"

Sylvia was silent for a long time and said, "Roland, you have no evidence!"

"You don't need evidence to tell a story. Roland smiled back, and said lightly: "Back then, the old Duke of York kept your affairs secret, and few people in the York family knew that you were a god knight. ”

"Before I stepped into the pinnacle realm, it was to protect me, and once I became the Golden Knight, I needed time to get rid of the influence of the Fire Elemental Sea. Sylvia said lightly.

"I was young then, and I'm not sure what Ryan would do if he knew your identity in advance. If I were a king, I would never strangle a god knight, and I believe neither would my father. Roland shrugged his shoulders and said innocently.

Sylvia shook her head and smiled, "I trust you, but I'm not going to take any chances. ”

"In short, not many people know who you really are. At that time, our Gambis were strong and strong, and the kingdom of Duoduo was declining, coinciding with the migration of forest people, Gambis had no worries, and the hills were rich in refined iron ore. My father was ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the majesty of the Divine Knights to annex the kingdom of Duoduo in one fell swoop before the Duoduo fought with us over the Centaur Hills. ”

"At this juncture, the Sasan Empire invaded the south, and the 11 Golden Knights of the Sasan Empire were all dispatched, and the White Water Fortress of Duoduo was in danger. As a last resort, Old Man Goron and you led an army to support the Kingdom of Duoduo, and I only then learned that our Gambis actually hid a god knight. I really admire and envy you for your majesty, and I take you as an example when I work hard, and five years later, I also became a golden knight. Roland said with a twinkle in his eyes.

The corners of Sylvia's mouth curled slightly, and she sighed again: "My identity was also exposed, and in the next few years, things became a mess. ”

Roland nodded, "The green barley of the Sassans fills the granaries of Dordor and Neville, but reduces the share of the green barley trade of Gambis. Neville secretly allied himself with Dodd to fight against our Gambis. Daddy Ryan had to concentrate on exploring the Centaur Hills, and he also built the Black Castle. Within a few years, the outer lords of your York family began to harass the outer lords of the Joshua family, and we decided to suppress the arrogance of the York family first, set up the three eastern provinces, and throw all those restless independent lords to those three unlucky ghosts. Father said he had secretly communicated with you, and you agreed!"

"That's right. Sylvia said calmly: "At that time, the old duke had just died, and I had not yet completed the reorganization of the family, and those bastards dared to take advantage of my reputation, what was the use of me keeping them?" Ryan promised to carve out an enclave of 30,000 square kilometers for me in the Centaur Hills, ......" Silvia glanced at Roland deeply, "The most important thing is that I can make the Golden Knight hold back, but I can't deal with thousands of Swift Dragon Knights." ”

"Hehe, this ......" Roland laughed dryly and said, "My father only brought 120 dragon knights to the east to show his sincerity to you, but he was raided by Niovest and Adrian, a total of more than 400 unicorn knights. He suspects you of colluding with Neovest. ”

"I also suspected that Ryan and Neovester conspired to trap me, so I couldn't hold out and forbade the Dragon Knight to enter the city, but I didn't expect Neovest and Ryan to hold a knightly duel, and when Ryan died heroically, the Dragon Knight was slaughtered, and it was too late. Sylvia shook her head and sighed as she remembered the scene.

"I killed 84 unicorn knights, but I couldn't kill Adrian. Roland shook his head in frustration and said, "Countless coincidences, countless last resorts, have led to the current situation. It's hard for me to imagine that a mortal scheming could count everyone and still be able to do it all. ”

"Old man Goron told me that when you showed the power of the god knight, the golden knight of the Sarsan Empire was extremely shocked, and it didn't seem to be a fake! Sylvia, please tell me, is it not so?" Roland pleaded bitterly.

"Yes. Sylvia bowed her head slightly, and said slowly, "I clearly sense that they did not know about it in advance, including Emperor Freret. ”

"I knew I was right!" Roland waved his little white fist excitedly, and said, "When the Fredet family made a noise about proposing to me, I made a story. ”

"The story goes that the Knights of Radiance sensed the rise of a centaur clan in the northern wilderness, threatening to annex other orc clans and form a centaur khanate. They must use all their strength to prevent the Centaur Khanate from being born, or the Sarsanid Empire will lose its eastern territories. Before striking down on the Centaur Clan, the Sarsanians feared that the Centaur would take the opportunity to invade the steppe city, and that a small-scale war would not only deplete the Empire's military strength, but also waste valuable time to prevent the rise of the Centaur Khanate. ”

So they asked the Pope to perform great prophecy. ”

"It is said that the Great Prophecy can glimpse into the future and even have the power to change fate. Although the Pope can perform it, how can the legendary priest compare to the priest of the Sanctuary? The future of mankind is at stake, and in order to prevent it, Clement asks the Pope to perform the Great Prophecy himself. The pope's chance has come. ”

"Only the Pope's great prophecy can glimpse the secrets of the gods and knights, change the direction of fate, and form one coincidence after another. So, while they let the Knights of Radiance deal with the Centaur Clan, they secretly led the Auguste family to break with you. How do you explain that the House of York is sitting back and watching the monarch die in battle? If you choose to take refuge in Neovestre, the three knights will gather under the Pope, and the restoration of the Rand Empire will be just around the corner. The divine right to the theocracy, the worldly to the world, and when the Frevice family raised their hands to surrender to the Rand Empire, the Radiant Knights had to obediently return the Golden Horn. ”

"You are the Pope's target, and my father is just a victim!"

Sylvia didn't move, just listened quietly.

Not seeing Sylvia's shocked expression, Roland pouted and continued: "The Pope didn't expect you to choose to move to the Centaur Hills instead of joining his command, it seems that the Great Prophecy Technique also has limitations...... Or maybe the Knights of Radiance have quietly come to you and made you change your mind. The Sassan Empire has proposed to me in the dark, and the main purpose is to unite Gambis and prevent Neovestre from restoring the Rand Empire. If I agree, Gambis can hold the Kingdom of Duoduo and the Rand Empire at the same time, if I don't agree, I will have to marry the secular lords, as long as the political situation in Gambis is stable and you are on the side of Gambis, Neovester will not have the slightest chance, we Gambis have thousands of dragon knights. The reason why the Sassan Empire did this was because they didn't murder my father at all. ”

Sylvia said in a deep voice: "No one understands the Elemental Sea more deeply than me, the past is unchangeable, the future is chaotic, we can only grasp the present." The operation of the Elemental Sea represents the laws and laws of the world, who can transcend the Elemental Sea and completely control the direction of fate? If the Great Prophecy is really omnipotent, why did the first Pope make the Radiant Code? How could the Pope 1,500 years ago die at the hands of the Great Wizard?"

"Roland, judging the truth by guessing is like watching a figure through a curtain, behind which there may be a person, or maybe just a puppet. I don't know if the mastermind behind the scenes is the Pope, and I don't care. The Knights of Radiance have not approached me, and it was my own choice to move my family to the Centaur Hills......"

Sylvia stretched out her hands, and the palm condensed into a yellow ball of light, and a ray of light flowed between the two Void Earth elements, the left one gradually growing, the right one slowly shrinking, and finally being completely absorbed.

"If the Pope, Nakhtigarh, and Neovestre dare to appear before me, I will kill all three of them, though I myself will fall...... But as I said, force can't solve all problems, and if they hide in the castle or hide, I can't do anything about them. I also have one of my most fatal flaws, the Spirit Knight is infertile, and my bloodline is worthless. If I owe allegiance to Nyovist, the members of the House of York will be drawn to the blood of Nyovest and Nakhtigar, and the family will disintegrate from within? Crushing the Void Earth Element in her left hand, dust fell one after another, and Sylvia said, "You just said that Ryan died because of me, do you know how Ryan died?"

Roland said in a low voice: "Daddy used his transcendent combat skills to severely damage Neovest, and he was also infected and assimilated by the Elemental Sea. ”

"Neovest didn't intend to kill Ryan, he made Ryan kneel, perform the courtesy of an audience with the emperor, and then cede the three eastern provinces, and Ryan chose to fight to the death. Sylvia said coldly: "The Neovester family was originally the lord of the Three Kingdoms, if Ryan is the king, what can he do if he kneels down to the lord? If he is a ranger, what reason is there to fight to the death for Gambis? The king is not a king, and the ranger is not a ranger, this is the cause of Ryan's death." ”

Roland wiped his tears and choked up: "Daddy Ryan is my father and my hero......"

The Golden Knight was still crying. ”

"I can cry when I want to cry and laugh when I want to. Roland said angrily.

Sylvia persuaded: "Roland, don't think about revenge, if it's a war, how many people have you killed in the Rand Empire?" If it's a Ranger, even if you advance to Legendary, you can't defeat Neovest, who is a fierce legendary knight with a powerful physique that can hold more elements. If you mobilize the war forces of the Gambis, don't forget that behind Neovest is also Nakhtigar. In addition to the paladins, El also has a large number of elite soldiers, and besides, I wonder how the August family has so many high-ranking knights and dragon knights?

"We have noble blood, and the effect of refining potions is excellent. ”

"What about Catherine? she can be promoted to a high-ranking knight, do you dare to say that there are no wizards behind the Kite Castle?

"Hmm...... I'm not ready for revenge, but you just said that the future is a bastard, and no one knows what will happen. Roland shook his head and burst into laughter, "I have a way to keep Neovest from sleeping." ”

"Roland, the one I hate the most is you. Sylvia had a headache and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I won't tell you...... Well, I don't know. Roland rolled his eyes and said, "It seems that my student has made up for your fatal flaw, and his bloodline can unite the members of the York family." ”

"You gave up on Victor yourself, don't expect me to thank you for it. Sylvia looked at Roland vigilantly and said murderously: "If anyone dares to fight Victor's idea, I guarantee that he will not wake up again." ”

"Then I'm relieved. Roland patted her full chest, got up and jumped onto the wall, she sat on the wall, smiled and waved goodbye: "I'm going back to sleep, and I'm going to my student's territory tomorrow." Good night, Sylvia. ”

Sylvia pondered for a long time, shook her head, and muttered: "Inexplicable wonderful princess ......", a better user experience.
