PS: To avoid misunderstanding, although they are all called powers, the powers in this book have nothing to do with the powers in dnd4e, and are more akin to a spell-like ability. As for the magical setting...... Read on and you'll find out.

From birth to growing up, like all children, in the process of exploring the world, Enid gained more and more doubts.

Why is there magic in this world and not on the other side? What is magic? Why is there no sun during the day? There is no moon or stars at night? Only the sky with a cycle of light and darkness is like a display that automatically adjusts its brightness.

Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. So, if you have a question, maybe you should ask the teacher?

Enid had two teachers, one of whom was also her father's magic advisor, and the young lady of the Earl of Education was probably only part-time, in fact, this magic teacher only threw some magical science books (maybe it should be called magic books?) to Enid, and then did nothing, and spent his days immersed in his own magic experiments.

Another literature teacher only spends one afternoon every weekend to teach her, in addition to being responsible for her reading and literacy, that is, to teach some knowledge of noble coats of arms, customs, geography and weather, etc.

To Enid's question, the literature teacher, Olivier, replied, "The sun?

"You mentioned it last week when you talked about the heraldry of the Sunbird family," Enid said with a small face, "It is also mentioned in The Fallen Gods that there was a god in ancient times who included the sun in his priesthood, and the sun was ......"

Before Enid could finish speaking, he waved his hand to interrupt: "Yes, I know what you want to say, distant legends say that in the past, our world was not floating in the endless void like it is now. It's located in a place called the multiverse, where there are countless magical things, such as glowing orbs that rise and fall every day, well, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that there are endless alien beauties......"

In other words, was there a sun in this world? So what happened next? Looking at the blonde young man who was talking about the situation at last night's banquet, Enid thought that it would probably be quicker for him to look for answers from the book.

I am special, many things, I can only find the answer by myself, and when I was very young, Enid already understood this truth.

With a valet and a squad of guards, the 4-year-old Countess strolled through the streets of St. Valentine.

The Islay Basin, the family domain of the Lilac family since ancient times, is a 200-mile radius of rich land where the smell of honey wafts through the air and milk flows from the river, and the word of the Noble family is law. The city of St. Valentine, the central city of this small country of abundance, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the centuries-old Lilac family castle is like a giant beast, entrenched in the center of the city.

Enid, who had just come out of the castle, was now walking on the avenue in front of the castle that was large enough for six carriages to run in parallel. Surrounding the castle is the best workshop area in the city. Every September, a steady stream of high-quality grapes from the vineyards of the basin is sent here to produce the famous Noble wine, which is famous throughout the continent, and then transported by truckloads of merchants who have been waiting for a long time to sell it to the whole continent.

The streets were crowded but orderly, and the passers-by, whether they were dusty merchants or hurried craftsmen, would touch their chests with solemn expressions, bend down, and salute Enid: "May the lilacs bloom!"

Enid watched all this silently, did not return the courtesy, and did not even smile at all, the little young girl squinted her eyes, and suddenly said, "Ellie, I want to eat grapes." ”

"Yes, miss. The black and white maid, who had been standing behind Enid with her hands in her hands, replied, and she made a gesture, and immediately the servants who were waiting far away on the side of the street rushed into the distance.

It's late autumn and most of the vineyard's grapes have been sent to the city, where they are made and shipped away. The rest is also made into various dried products. Grapes are highly seasonal, and even though Islay is the only grape producer on the continent, it can be difficult to find fresh grapes at this time.

But Enid spoke.

As the only daughter of the ruler of these tens of thousands of square miles, no one would underestimate this little young girl, and even if one of her willful requests was carried out, it would be carried out seriously.

In the distance, there was the sound of chariots and horses, and Enid looked up, a carriage was speeding in the direction of the castle, and several knights were running in front of the carriage to clear the way, they drove the passers-by, and the slightest slow movement was a whip down, and the originally orderly street was full of chickens and dogs.

Looking at the chaos that was gradually spreading from the other side of the street, Enid narrowed her eyes, did not speak, but did not mean to get out of the way.

The master did not move, and the guard and maid naturally stood silent.

There are adventurers from afar on the side of the road who are gloating here, and the conflict between the nobles and lords is a good conversation point for them.

Like Moses dividing the sea, the crowd of people on the avenue with envy, anger, or other thoughts quickly divided to the sides, and looked at the approaching team with complicated eyes. The gap between the classes is extremely clear at this moment.

Everybody is equal? Enid came up with a word, a word from a textbook from another world. Sounds great, but it seems, at least here, that doesn't exist.

Then Enid noticed that there was a little girl in the middle of the road. What's going on?

......

A moment earlier, she had been picking up her beautiful white hat from the ground when she was startled by the sudden separation of the crowd.

And her mother was haggling at the roadside stall at the moment, not even noticing that her daughter had left her side.

The galloping knights had no intention of slowing down, and at the head of the race was a young man who looked less than twenty, with a few pimples on his face. With a hideous expression, he raised his horsewhip high, and the pimples on his face became more and more conspicuous due to the writhing of his muscles.

The little girl was already frightened, and she looked at the knight on the tall horse in bright half-body armor, and she couldn't move at all.

White horses, knights, princes, no matter what world they are in, are the fantasies of little girls. But this child will probably never have the slightest illusion in the future.

If she has a future.

"Ellie!" Enid had no intention of sitting idly by.

The maid stepped forward in silence, and before the sword hidden in the maid's suit could be drawn, her figure had disappeared in place. (Vaillant)

"Bell!" a crisp sword roar, and the two swords crossed in the air in front of the Pimple Knight.

At this moment, before the passers-by on the side of the road could even move their eyes back from the little girl, there were two more people in front of the pimple knight.

These are two people who don't seem to be in harmony at all, no matter how you look at it, such two people shouldn't appear in the same scene, but at this moment, they are standing facing each other, the swords in their hands pointing at each other.

It was a heavily armed knight with a maid in a black and white dress.

"You're good. The middle-aged man said flatly, as if he didn't notice that he was about to bump into his subordinates from behind.

At the last moment, the pimple knight finally recognized the figure in front of him as his superior, and tightened the reins of his horse, "hoo" the horse let out a mournful roar, and the hooves were raised high into the air, and stopped at the last moment.

On the long road, people neighed on their horses, and the knights next to them and the carriage behind them also stopped.

The middle-aged man didn't care about his subordinates, but just looked at the girl in front of him with appreciation.

But the maid didn't seem to be interested in him at all, and after confirming that there was no threat, she silently put away the sword in her hand and took the frightened little girl behind her.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, and his expression became a little gloomy. How many years have it been since he became a weapon master and promoted to a high-level warrior that no one dared to despise himself like this?

And then he struck.

He didn't intend to kill the girl, he didn't forget that the girl in front of him was wearing a maid's outfit. Excluding the possibility of personal fetishes, there are very few people in the city of St. Valentine who can let such a young high-ranking warrior act as a maid.

So, he's just going to teach her a lesson and tell her never to leave your back to someone you've just offended. (Opportunistic Attack)

"It's despicable!" a scimitar slashed at the middle-aged man's sword that stabbed at the girl.

The middle-aged man frowned, flipped the cross sword in his hand, and used the back of the sword to hold the scimitar, and then pulled it down and slashed at the target's wrist. (Defend in attack, unload weapons)

His target, a young man in leather armor, dropped his scimitar and jumped back.

Ellie also turned around again, frowning at the middle-aged man.

It seems that conflict is inevitable.

Adventurers on the side of the road watched with their arms folded, expecting a good show.

Unfortunately, this time they were doomed to disappointment.
