Kingdom of Relia, City of Caanster.

For Edge, it's a city it's been a long time coming. He's been away for a year and a half, and he doesn't know if he'll ever remember the great city that amazed him.

He grew here and gained the strength to go out. Here he has the first woman in his life, the incomparably beautiful, supreme and beautiful princess Kate. He also has the tender former maid Leah, the righteous friend Orwell, and the unfrank Tuckery here...... He has a lot of stories to remember here.

But he never came back.

When he left Caanster City, he gave Kate a promise: he would definitely come back. When the time comes, he will marry her in the name of being worthy of Kate, if she can wait for him. And now, I'm afraid, he doesn't dare to say such things anymore.

There have been many women in his life, and he doesn't know how to choose. Even if he met Kate one day, he didn't know how to deal with it.

However, Kate doesn't miss him that much now. It's not that she doesn't miss it, but now Kate can't be distracted and has to face the final of the pilgrimage ceremony selection with all her might.

Unlike the Kenos Empire, the Kingdom of Relia is a peaceful country. Under such circumstances, the majority of the people believed that this stability was due to the Holy See. Therefore, in the Kingdom of Relia, many people believe in the Holy See and hope to enter the Holy See. For this reason, there were many people who participated in the pilgrimage ceremony qualifiers, and it lasted for a year and a half before it reached the current final stage.

Kate, Tuckerley, Orwell they are a group, after their disdainful efforts. Now we are in the semi-finals.

There will be twenty groups in the semi-finals, and these twenty groups will compete in the form of a draw to qualify for the finals. Ten teams will be eliminated from each of the 20 groups, and the next 10 teams will be played by lot. In the end, there were five groups left. The five groups will face off again, plus the previous results, to select the person who actually went to the city-state of San Fiente to participate in the pilgrimage ceremony.

Having worked so far, Kate has no reason to slack off. Her goal was clear, to seize the final qualification and go to the Holy See Holy Land, the city-state of San Fiente, to participate in the pilgrimage ceremony. In addition to wanting to make a name for yourself. She also wanted to investigate something about the forbidden arts of the Great Hero.

She has always been an ambitious person, and taking power is a path she has already arranged. As for the matter of the forbidden art of the Great British Spirit, she had almost died because of it. If she doesn't investigate, how can she be willing?

It is worth mentioning that Orwell and Leah are now a couple. Such a development makes people sigh, and it is clear that Leah had a heart for Aggie at the beginning. If Aggie crosses the line with her. She would definitely be willing to be Age's woman now. Of course, Edge is not such an abusive person, he loves Kate. Leah's words are more grateful.

A year and a half is enough to erase the ambiguous feelings that Riah has for Age. Naturally, Leah is not the kind of person who forgets her feelings easily, and even now that she sees Age, she will definitely be warm and gentle. It's just that. Over the past year and a half, there has been a lot of contact between Leah and Orwell. There are also more sparks from the friction.

Coupled with Leah's continuous learning, her status has become very high, and she has become the premier noble and outstanding butler in Caanster City. And in the process of continuous improvement, many of the difficulties she encountered were helped by Orwell. Orwell was originally an informal person, and later often visited Leah's house, and got along very well with Leah's younger siblings.

Gradually, the two of them came together.

But Tuckerley's feelings are embarrassing. As long as he is a normal person, he can see that he likes Kate. But he never said it, as always, not frankly. He knows what happened between Kate and Age, but Age and Kate have always been separated, and he and Kate get along almost day and night, in fact, there are many opportunities.

Why do outsiders sigh and sigh? Because outsiders don't know much about Kate and Age. Kate has always been a cold princess, and to this day, no one has heard of her having an affair or rumors with any man. Therefore, everyone thinks that Kate is still single, so what is it strange that a young master of a prominent duke's family pursues her?

However, in the days that followed, every once in a while it would be reported that Tuckley had a relationship with a noble lady. Takley did not admit it, nor did he deny it. Orwell and Leah, who sometimes gossip, always care about him and hope that he will find a partner as soon as possible.

As for Kate, even Orwell felt that she was not a woman of good talk. He wondered how Edge had negotiated with Kate in the first place. He knew that the relationship between Aggie and Kate was very unusual, but he didn't know that Aggie and Kate were already a couple, and the matter of rolling the sheets was violent more than once.

In the arena in the center of Caanster City, a fierce duel was going on at this time. The duel is played against the two groups of three people in each group who participated in the pilgrimage qualifiers. The three of them are against the three of them, and they are all very well composed of each other, a warrior, a strong physical defense. A magician with powerful attacks. A healing mage that provides recovery aids.

Both groups are from different regions, and the tricks they know have local characteristics. A group of barbarians from the deep mountains of the south, the warriors' abilities are simply as wild as beasts, and they are terrifying. And the attacking mage and healing mage are also huge and have a certain melee attack.

The combination of these three barbarians was very powerful, and they overwhelmed the enemy at once. Under their persecution, another group soon fell behind. But even so, the weaker group was unwilling to be defeated, resisted desperately, and burst out with the ability to go beyond the limit. Even if he was defeated in the end, he also seriously injured the opposing barbarian group.

Neither side won or lost to get any benefit, and this is the status quo of the pilgrimage qualifiers. Everyone who participates in the event will do their best, and whoever slacks is likely to fail. Once it fails, the past efforts become a bubble. No one wants this to happen to them, so every one of them is so desperate.

This shows how fierce this matchup that has lasted for a year and a half is, and who can neglect it.

After watching the showdown between the barbarian groups, Kate returned directly to the court and thought about what to do. If nothing else, their combination will be a rival to the Barbarian combination. This is something that both Kate and Tuckery need to be treated with caution, as the trio of them has a very fatal flaw, that is, there are no recovering auxiliary members.

Takli has the shield of Godpik's protection, which has some of the power of the Light, and is very powerful as a guardian warrior. As a powerful ice magician, Kate can use the Freezing Technique to perform powerful damage moves and disrupt enemies with the Frozen feature. Orwell was a nimble swordsman, taking heads thousands of miles away, and his high-explosive attacks made his enemies fearful.

The strength of their combination has long been noticed.

However, even if they are a team, it is not difficult to find a shortcoming as long as they analyze it: they lack members of the healing support, so every battle has to be solved quickly. They don't have the ability to fight a war of attrition, and once the time is lost, they are injured and consumed, and these problems will directly reduce their combat effectiveness, and then the showdown will become precarious.

To compensate for this, they had to adopt a quick fix. But as the knockout rounds progressed, the opponents they encountered became stronger and stronger, and the tactics of quick wins did not go smoothly. At one point, they almost lost because they couldn't make a quick decision, but Tuckerley's tenacity crushed their foe, otherwise they would have missed out on the semi-finals.

If it was to make up for the shortcomings of not having healed the recovery personnel, Kate had been thinking about such a thing. It's impossible for their group to be replaced, and no one is going to give up or quit because of this. It's not generous at all, it's moving, but it's a shameful act. So they have to start with themselves and see if there is a way to solve this problem.

Before there was a practical solution, Kate's decision was to strengthen the physical workout of each of the three of them, even those who focused on attacking, so that they could support the fight for a longer time. In this way, even in the event of a war of attrition, you can still fight.

Returning to the court from the arena, Kate immediately went to train her body. Previously, she could use weapons to attack, and she was a person who knew both martial arts and magic, and she was very proficient. But after participating in the pilgrimage ceremony trials, the more she went to the back, the more she realized that the combination of martial arts and magic could not do much in actual combat except for amazing the audience.

On the contrary, it is more useful to concentrate on one attack, which is more likely to restrain the enemy. So after thinking about it, she gave up using weapons to attack and chose ice magic, devoting herself to studying and practicing ice magic.

In the later showdown, it was witnessed that Kate's choice was right. After carefully using the Ice Magic Attack alone, her explosive ability and Freeze Disruption ability are very effective, and several times have become the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

Kate wanted to go to training, but then a guard came in and reported to her something from the Kenos Empire. This is what she asked the soldiers to do, she didn't care about the situation in the Kenos Empire, but she cared about the situation in Age. How to say that Aggie is also her man, she has not changed her mind, she still thinks about Aggie.

"Really, did he succeed?......" Kate's face swelled with a rare smile as she heard the soldier report that the Kenos Empire had been restored. Although it was shallow, it also stunned the soldier. Of course, he was also surprised and scared, why did Princess Kate, who had always been cold, laugh?

Soon Kate sent the reporting soldiers back and went on to train. At this time, she was in a good mood, and vaguely expected that Aggie would come back to see her. She remembered what Edge had said to her.

He will return when he completes his responsibility for the recovery of the Kenos Empire. Now, isn't it time for him to come back? (To be continued......)
