Chapter 225: Glenette's Melancholy

readx;

"Yikes!"

With a soft scream, the girl suddenly jumped out of bed, her eyes widened, and she looked around carefully, only to find that she was sleeping in a comfortable bedroom. However, she was not relieved by this, on the contrary, the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced around uneasily, and then shrank her body and wrapped the quilt tightly around her.www.biquge.info Although the warmth of the charcoal basin in the room did not make people feel cold, looking at the girl's pale face, it seemed that she was completely unaware of this.

Her eyes were as pure as ruby with fear and bewilderment, and she didn't even notice that her hands were trembling slightly, until a moment later, when the girl seemed to notice what was wrong, and she shrunk her shoulders and wrapped herself around her body, as if that would stop the trembling in her body.

It's that dream again...... Farren bit her lip and shook her head desperately.

Although two full days had passed, she still couldn't forget the battle of that day, the scene of that day, and her last shot. The nightmarish sight could not be erased from the girl's mind in any way, for the simple reason that it was the first time the girl had killed someone.

Farin Glenette.

As one of the only six gifted knights left on the continent at the moment (Judy and the others are not counted), she has long been famous. It can even be said that when she became a gifted knight, even Sidwig and Lintillot had not yet obtained the official title of gifted knight. As the ultimate trump card of the Mage Guild, the Wizard Knight, Lotus is a powerhouse who has reached the top level from both combat skills and magic. However, no one ever knew that this young girl, until the present battle, had not killed anyone.

The reason is very simple, the Mage Association needs a final trump card to justify itself, after all, on the current continent, there are four gifted knights in the Sith Empire, and the elves also have a gifted knight. And other countries and forces do not. Although there are many Knights of Grace in the Church of Holy Grace, those who are familiar with the inside know very well that those are just knockoffs, and their power cannot be compared with the genuine ones at all. So, if the Mage Guild can have a gifted knight, then it will have the upper hand.

And Horen, it was under such circumstances that he ascended to the top.

She was born into a magical family of Glenette, and since she was a child, she has shown amazing magical comprehension, as a mage, Faren has an unattainable memory, a strong magical reserve, and an affinity for Mana, all of which allowed her to grow rapidly, and at the age of nine she had the ability to be a mid-level five-ring mage. This news naturally shook the entire Mage Association, and even the head of the association personally inquired about it, and at the same time issued an order to let Faren enter the City of a Thousand Laws for training. At this time, many people still regarded her as just a promising mage.

And after that, an accident changed the fate of Haruin. While studying in the City of a Thousand Laws, she stumbled upon the training of those magic swordsmen, and was very interested in the kind of swordsmanship that looked majestic. And nine years old is still an age of curiosity after all, so Faren took the initiative to ask for swordsmanship training.

Many mages in her family were quite puzzled by her decision. After all, they also knew how difficult it was to cultivate the magic sword, and although this girl's attainments in magic were very outstanding, it didn't mean that she could also be successful in swordsmanship. Moreover, most of the things like swordsmanship are practiced by men, what can she do as a little girl?

Of course, thinking so, Faren has a reputation as a "little genius" after all, so everyone didn't stop it, thinking that after a few days, the girl would naturally give up if she couldn't hold on. After all, compared to magic, swordsmanship has high physical requirements, and Faren has been focusing on magic training before, so naturally he has not exercised his body much. Therefore, most of the people just pay attention by the way to avoid this little genius getting injured or something, then it will be troublesome.

However, the next development was completely unexpected by everyone.

Far from being bored with the rigors of swordsmanship, Haren showed unusual talent and enthusiasm in this area. However, what is even more surprising is that it only took her half a year to go from a rookie who couldn't even hold a sword to a mid-level swordsman. It is said that when her swordsmanship teacher saw the soul energy emanating from this girl's body, he even lost control of his emotions on the spot and almost became a madman.

After that, Faren's rapid progress was even more terrifying, and after a year, three months before the girl's eleventh birthday, Haren had successfully advanced to a high-level swordsman.

The news almost drove the entire wizarding world crazy, as no mage had ever grown so quickly and so weirdly. And the most unbelievable thing is that when training swordsmanship, Faren did not fall behind in the study of magic. She usually practiced swordsmanship during the day, practiced magic at night, and then went to bed when the time came—a more regular routine than many all-night mages, but it allowed her to achieve things that no mage could possibly achieve. Just three days after she was born at the age of 11, Lotus passed the test of the Mage Association and officially became a high-level eight-ring high-ranking mage -- stepping into the realm of the Grand Mage.

Eleven-year-old and three-day-old archmages and high-level swordsmen, of course, this kind of abnormality cannot fail to attract the attention of the Mage Association, and as a profession that has the most knowledge on the mainland, the Mage Association can naturally easily judge that Faren's strength is definitely not because of how smart she is or what special methods she has mastered -- magic may have dangerous and special shortcuts, but swordsmanship is not. There is, then, only one conclusion.

This girl is a gifted knight. And it's rare, a magic-type gifted knight.

This also made the Mage Guild attach more importance to Farren than ever before, they provided the girl with all the best resources, and Farin lived up to everyone's expectations - on the day she was born at the age of twelve, she received her own aura of talent and officially became a gifted knight.

In less than three years, a nine-year-old mid-level mage can become both an archmage and a high-level swordsman, and then a gifted knight. This kind of thing would not seem to anyone to believe, but this is what makes gifted knights special.

But that's about it.

The Mage Association needs gifted knights, just to show their strength to the mainland, they are not like the Sith Empire, there are territorial and population disputes, as a supranational organization, the mage association is actually more of a natural knight as a strategic nuclear deterrent, unless it is absolutely necessary, it will never be launched.

Because of this, although among the current six talented knights in the continent, Fa Lian became famous quite early, but when it comes to killing, she has never done it at all. After all, the gifted knight is the trump card of the Mage Association, and if the ace wants to make a move, it will naturally be against the ace. However, at the moment, the Mage Association does not have any enemies worthy of their talented knights, so all along, Faren has faced very few battles, and the number of people who need to fight to the death is almost zero.

The reason is very simple, under the powerful power of the gifted knights, most people even have a luxury desire to fight to the death, and in the face of this powerful existence that they are completely out of reach, it can be said that life and death are completely up to these people to decide. The other party wants them to live, and they can't even die.

It can be said that Faren's disconnection is completely different from Princess Shirley's, who has been deliberately cultivated to think in a way that is out of line, which has completely permeated her personality and cannot be changed. Faren's disconnection is more due to the near-vacuum management and training of the Mage Association, as well as the lack of understanding of the outside world.

The reason why Faren led the Wizard Knights to appear here this time was partly at the request of her teacher, and on the other hand, Faren also wanted to see more of the real battlefield. After all, although the girl is naïve, she is not stupid, and she also knows that her current combat experience is too little, so she hopes to improve her training in this area through more battles. Even before her arrival, Faren was very confident, she was confident that she could control her strength, and she was also confident that she would not cause unnecessary casualties.

And the fact is just as the girl expected, those aristocratic troops who "show their teeth and claws" and "bully the weak and fear the hard" were frightened and their legs were weak when they saw them appear with the Demon Guide Knights, and when they released the magic guide cannon, they fled in a panic. Occasionally, a few brave men would try to come forward and fight themselves, but for Farin, it was as easy to knock them out as it was to eat and drink.

And for the dead ......... Recalling the scene she had seen before, Farren couldn't help but gasp, she didn't have the concept of death, but this concept was almost distorted for Farin. For death, girls learn more from books, and in reality, it is just birth, old age, sickness and death. However, it wasn't until that battle two days ago that the girl experienced death for the first time, and it turned out that it could be so cruel.

She couldn't understand why the other party still insisted on pounceing on her even though she had made such an obvious deterrent -- according to Faren's combat experience, once she made this move, almost everyone immediately retreated, and never stepped forward. However, the corpse of a girl about the same age as herself that she saw from the sky still shocked her.

The originally beautiful, slender body was already mutilated, and even the flesh and blood on the shoulders and chest flew away, leaving only large cavities, in fact, the moment he saw the corpse clearly, Faren almost passed out. Especially when she realized that it was self-inflicted, the horror in the girl's heart was completely indescribable. When she looked at the other party's originally beautiful face, pale and without the slightest breath of life, Faren felt for the first time that life was so fragile and death was so omnipresent. The best things can be destroyed even so easily.

At that time, Faren didn't have the slightest intention of killing the other party, she just wanted to use this trick to show her strength to the other party, and then let her retreat and obediently give in. But I didn't expect it to cause such an ending, it's like a child, trying to make a joke on others, but instead killing the other party in a daze, helpless panic.

That was the first time she realized that her power could be used to do such a brutal killing.

"What should I do......... What to do........."

In the past two days, whenever the girl closed her eyes, what appeared in front of her was the corpse, which she could not forget, and who could not escape, which followed her closely like a nightmare. It made the girl's heart extremely uncomfortable, especially when she thought about it carefully, but found that the other party was not a very vicious person, which also made Faren's heart more and more entangled.

Her current situation is very similar to how Offariel felt when she first killed someone, but there are also differences in deciding on her last name. After all, Offariel already had the consciousness to kill in the first place, but Farin did not have similar thoughts, but it caused the same result. It was this unexpected ending that brought her such a shock.

Do you want to run away like this?

Faren was not a weak girl, but this time the development was really unexpected by herself, and she had no way to face it. And now, she had locked herself in her room for two whole days, but she still had no clue, on the contrary, she kept repeating the nightmare every night, which made her unforgettable.

It can't go on like this!

Thinking of this, the girl's face became resolute, after all, she is a talented knight, and what it brings is not only the growth of strength, but also the exercise of the mind. Of course, this is also inseparable from Haren's own hard training, and if she didn't have confidence in her own strength, she wouldn't have such a resolute mind.

Soon, Faren got out of bed, changed her clothes, and then pushed the door open, and soon noticed five or six red-robed mages standing outside the door.

"Commander, are you alright?"

"Commander, you're alright!"

Seeing Faren come out, these red-robed mages also hurriedly asked, and at this time, after taking off their cloaks, these mages revealed their true colors -- this is a group of girls about the same age as Faren.

Of course, they don't have the same talent as Horim. In fact, as members of the Wizard Knights, the strength of these mages is about the same level as the three rings. However, they are not taking the ordinary training route, but the battle mages specially trained for the Lotus Alliance, these girls do not know the spells that ordinary mages know, on the contrary, they only learn one or two specialized skills. In fact, the status of these red-robed mages is similar to that of the soldiers in the legion -- the soldiers do not require you to have advanced and powerful swordsmanship, as long as you can obey orders and fight together, then even the most ordinary forward stabs can exert amazing lethality.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern. ”

Faren smiled at everyone, since she became a gifted knight, the Mage Guild had specially created such a wizard knight order for her. And these red-robed mages have been following themselves since then. It can be said that they have even become sisters with each other. If you evaluate it by the level of mages, then many of them are unqualified in many aspects, but they have given up on their path to becoming real mages and have instead embarked on this path of war mages. This means that they will dedicate the best time and energy of their lives to the Wizard Knights.

And in the two days that Faren was closed, these battle mages were also guarding her door, worried and anxious about her. Now, seeing that their head finally came out, they finally put their minds at ease.

"I'm just a little ..............."

Saying this, Farin bit her lip and looked at the sisters beside her, deciding not to talk about the topic again in order to prevent them from continuing to worry. Her psychological situation is known only to herself. The sisters were too far away that day to see the final battle between the two sides, nor did they see the body.

"What's the situation now? Is there any news from the rebels in the past two days?"

"Yesterday morning there was news that they were going to attack a small town, but they were not strong enough, so they wanted us to help. But at that time, the head of the regiment, you............ So we didn't answer right away, we just said we would have to wait a while. ”

Saying this, one of the red-robed mages frowned. She looked at Faren in front of her worriedly, and whispered to dissuade her.

"Commander, if you're not feeling well, then let's go back. It's not our fight, and if something happens to you............"

"Yes, Commander, let's go back. ”

"Go back to the City of a Thousand Laws and live our original life, it's too cruel for you. ”

Not only her, but many red-robed mages also gave the same advice. After all, because of the special surname of magic, although their identities are very similar to ordinary soldiers of the legion, when it comes to real battles, they are more like aid and logistics personnel, and the front-line battles have always been borne by Faren alone.

"No, we're going to continue. ”

However, Farin hesitated for a moment, and finally rejected their claims.

"This is the teacher's order, and I can't give up halfway. And......... I can't always run away, I know that sooner or later I'm going to face this kind of thing, I can't run away. If I run away, then I'm the real loser! And we're here to help the weak! If we leave, they'll be bullied by the bad nobles! I can't tolerate that! I've made up my mind to help them, so I can't break the promise!"

Saying this, Horin looked at the crowd.

"Then, let's go and rest, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
