Book 81 Iron Princess
Princess Fuhu has been hiding her identity since the battle with Chief Kurogi, pretending to be dead. She would do it to protect herself.
There is no doubt that there was a mole in the White Moon Royal Court Council. If Princess Fuhu does not hide, then she will follow in the footsteps of her brothers and be sent to die in vain in the quagmire of the enemy.
Her act of protection was successful, and at least she was alive and well at the moment. The only thing that made her complain constantly was her 10,000-year-old hood and veil covering her face.
The sick princess has a beautiful appearance, but she does not have any overly eye-catching physical features, so it is not difficult for her to hide her identity among the people. And Princess Fuhu was born with a large red birthmark on the left half of her body, and she tattooed the birthmark into a flame pattern when she was a childish girl. Therefore, her physical characteristics are extremely obvious, and if she wants to hide it, she can only cover her face all day long.
Although she claims to be the most powerful, she is still an unmarried woman in essence, quite beautiful, and loves to promote her personality. Otherwise, she wouldn't have secretly tattooed, so that she was almost beaten to death by the Knight King afterwards.
Now that it was the New Year, she sat alone in a black cloak and looked like a bad person who could not distinguish between men and women, and sighed and sighed. The drinkers beside her ignored her at a distance, for fear that if she got closer, she would be stabbed to death by the suspicious man in black with a dagger.
When Princess Fuhu sighed for the twentieth breath this morning, her comrades-in-arms who had planned for this lantern trip finally appeared at the door.
The three most hated words of Princess Fuhu at the moment are black cloak, council, and lateness. As a princess, she and her four sisters were the first to arrive at the meeting place, which made her feel that she was being slighted. As for the black cloak and the council, they were even more shadowy, tormenting her nerves all the time.
The council is a resolution group composed of great nobles, and the power in their hands is equivalent to that of the knight king, but the royal family is also a member of the council, so the royal family is slightly more powerful.
The interests of the great nobles are generally the same as the interests of the state, and they will only prosper if the country is strong and they are the nobles. Judging from the history of the previous wars of the White Moon Kingdom, the Kingdom of Danfan was in crisis, and most of the soldiers who charged forward were from these nobles. It is precisely because of their act of sacrificing their lives that the people of the jurisdiction will be grateful and respected for their lords.
But now things seem to have changed, although Princess Fuhu can't figure out what those big nobles think, in short, it seems that some of them want to bring down the country, or the White Moon Royal Family, even if their own interests are damaged. The three of them, the sick princess, the princess Fuhu and the promiscuous princess, at first thought that the prime minister of the kingdom had done these things by himself, but with the secret investigation in the past few months, the number of nobles involved seemed to be very large.
In order to defend the Flanders family, Princess Fuhu and her fourth sister, Loved Flender, nicknamed Iron Princess, secretly come to Lantern City together to stop the rebellion in the Lantern area.
The Iron Princess had set off from White Moon City with Princess Fuhu, with her Guards and the Fourth Knight. This little princess was leaving White Moon City for the first time, and she didn't want to waste her rare time going out and her sister sitting in the tavern waiting for someone, so she went out for a stroll with her team early in the morning.
The current legal heir to the throne of the White Moon is the sick princess, but everyone knows that with her physical condition, it is impossible to live past the old and strong knight king. After that, the successor was Princess Fuhu, but she chose to disappear in order to protect herself, and outsiders only thought she was dead.
The third princess, Princess Messy, has married and has become the female archduke of the Red Moon Principality, so the fourth princess, Princess Steel, has rightly become the first heir to the throne of the White Moon in the eyes of the world. During the time when Princess Fuhu disappeared, her main task was to protect her sister, but she seemed to be overly concerned, and no one tried to threaten the safety of Princess Iron for months. This should have something to do with the strength of the Iron Princess herself.
The adopted sons and daughters of the Knight King have been trained by the top cultivation magic array of the royal family, and all of them are extremely powerful. Among them, the strongest magic talent is the third prince who has died, and the strongest root bone talent is naturally Princess Fuhu. When it comes to comprehensive talent, Iron Princess is the most exaggerated.
She has an eighth-level magical talent, excellent roots, and the most rare thing is that she is also a magician who has stepped into the temple of magic. Both cultivators and magicians, the number of such geniuses is very small, and those who can cultivate both to a certain level often do not exceed five in the same era, and Iron Princess is one of them.
If you want to use magic, it's not that hard. As long as a person with magical powers spends a few months studying, he will be able to use a specific magic circle through a specific magic circle. Some magic arrays and magic equipment don't even need to be learned, and they can be used by directly supplying magic power. In other words, as long as you have magic equipment and magic power, anyone who casts simple magic can do it, and this kind of person is naturally not a magician.
A magician is a scholar, a researcher, an inventor, a technician, and a person who creates magic and related magical devices. The Iron Princess has a moon-level upper limb martial arts cultivation, and the research direction and theme of magic is metal smelting.
She learned magic before martial arts, and years ago she single-handedly developed and weaponized several new powerful alloys. Since these metals were all refined through her special magic array, the production was very low, and the number of finished weapons was even more limited, only enough for herself and the people around her. Because of the effectiveness of these weapons, the nickname of the Iron Princess has been known for many years, and she is occasionally referred to as the Blacksmith Princess.
The people at the door of the hotel were the first and second knights, and behind them there was a man with a hidden face, a fake duke conjured up by Zhou Shu.
The knights of the kingdom had all seen the real Duke of Lantern before, and they didn't believe it when they heard that the sick princess had made an identical fake, but the first and second knights, who had always been strict, were frightened quite sternly when they met.
The sick princess directly confessed the origin of the fake duke, saying that the golden armor man who fought against them before used magic to create it.
This caused the two knights to sigh for a while, and they were wary of this mysterious mage whose identity was unknown. Their duty is to protect their princess, and any suspicious figure that appears next to her is to be suspected by them at worst. Therefore, they are hostile to all the unidentified people around the princess, especially the men, and this behavior is almost like the father of an adolescent girl, for fear that the baby girl will be deceived by the bad boy.
The second knight saw that his princess wanted to make a formal knightly salute to her who had not been seen for a long time, but it was not convenient here. Arriving later than Princess Fuhu and not being able to salute, this made him feel that he was violating the way of the monarch and the minister, and he felt uncomfortable.
The first knight didn't have so much psychological burden, but he admired the second knight for being able to recognize Princess Fuhu who was dressed so unsightly at a glance. But why didn't you see the Iron Princess?
"Where's the fourth lady?"
Princess Fuhu shook her hand lazily and said, "Take her people out to play." ”
"Then we'll have to get to her!"
The first knight knows the ability of the four princesses, and has a spirit in causing trouble. Usually locked up in the White Moon Castle, it is rare to see an outsider, and there are a large number of attendants and servants around him, and this princess often causes chaos in the entire palace.
Princess Fuhu shook her hand again, "Let's wait for her to come back." "If you get into trouble, you'll be in trouble.
She didn't care about her sister's behavior at all, and it would be nice to give her some freedom to let her get in touch with the world outside the palace. Anyway, with the Fourth Knight here, there shouldn't be any big mess - "Boss, please give me your best dagger here!" On this day, the weapons shops and blacksmith shops in Lantern City opened early, and they all welcomed a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes. The girl herself was beautiful, and she also had three servants with outstanding temperament.
Whenever she went to a shop, she would ask the shopkeeper to bring out the strongest and sharpest weapons, and whatever the shopkeeper had brought out, the girl shook her head.
"Is this the best you guys have here? Poor strength, heavy weight. Selling this weapon to people is nothing short of murder, and the person who buys it is simply committing suicide!"
If the shopkeeper was too angry with the girl's outrage to open his mouth, the girl would pull out a finger-wide letter opener from her waist and cut off the shopkeeper's utensils one by one in front of the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper had been humble and polite, the girl would have swaggered away.
"Fourth Miss, can we go back? Second Miss should also be in a hurry. ”
The Iron Princess served five weapons shops in a row in the morning, and she was in a good mood. He ignored the advice of his little knight.
The Fourth Knight is the youngest of all the Kingdom Knights, and the weakest. He was elected because he was more in the eyes of a princess, and as a nobleman, he was caught by the young Iron Princess at a New Year's ball. At that time, the Iron Princess had shown a strong desire and talent for magic, and was the adopted daughter of the Knight King. The family of Flender of the White Moon Royal Family are all martial artists, and the old man of the Knight King very much hopes to cultivate a magician, so he is obedient to her.
The fourth knight, who was ignored, sighed, the princess of Xindao has been disobedient to her more and more recently, and when she is a few years older, her relationship with her may become the same as that of the first knight and the sick princess.
The Fourth Knight was only twenty-two years old, only a year and a half older than her princess. Because both of them are blonde and blue-eyed, they look like twins. In terms of temperament, the Iron Princess is stronger, and the Fourth Knight looks like a submissive little brother in front of her sister under her aura.
Is the princess going to the next shop? should she be stopped?
The Fourth Knight turned his attention to the two Guards Maids. He felt that if he continued to swagger like this, he would be recognized.
He knew that the sick princess had been identified once before when she came to Lantern City with a male alien magician. That's a sick princess who has always been steady, and the people around her are magical magicians who once saved Princess Fuhu and transformed into a fake duke. Even such a combination will be guessed through the identity, and if you don't do it well, if you don't accompany the wayward princess, something big will happen.
The guards scratched their heads at the princess and said with helpless eyes, 'Even if you say so, there is nothing we can do.'
"Little Si, you go and ask passers-by, where is there a weapon shop. ”
Sure enough, I still have to continue.
The fourth knight secretly decided to lie about the military situation directly after inquiring for a while, and trick the princess back to the tavern first.
There was a sound of horses' hooves tapping past the sick princess with rolling wheels, a carriage that was a little too complicated. The coachman stopped the horse and brought it to a stop in front of the Iron Princess. A handsome young man stepped out of the car and walked directly in front of the Iron Princess.
The iron princess, who is not deeply involved in the world, is very wary of the handsome guy who suddenly walks towards her. She was influenced by several younger sisters since she was a child and read many poems about love. Although she is a princess, she is very fond of the love story between the farmer's daughter and the nobleman, and yearns for the day when this impossible thing can happen to her, the princess.
At this time, she was dressed plainly, but the three handsome men and women behind her obviously treated each other with servant courtesy, no matter how you look at it, she is not the appearance of a pretty village girl, and the most aggrieved must be a rich lady.
The young man who got out of the car and walked straight for her was a real nobleman. His family history can be seen from the Jiahui on his short shawl.
The Fourth Knight had seen his portrait and had decisively recognized him. He is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Lantern who had guessed the identity of the sick princess before, and the lantern of Kesbero.
The fourth knight's heart tightened, the sick princess had been guessed by him before, and in his opinion, this time it was probably more than lucky.
He didn't have anyone with him, should you take this opportunity to deal with him?
No, the disappearance of the lantern's parent grandson will definitely cause a big storm and affect the plan.
The fact that this person would appear in person proves that he didn't recognize the fourth princess at all!The fourth knight grabbed the sleeves of the two guards beside him, and motioned for them to improvise. Cathbello's hobby was to forge swords, and occasionally to build some valve weapons. His works focus more on the appearance of weapons, all of which are gorgeous and unique, but the practicality is terrible. Because of his interest, his father has criticized him many times.
The heir of the Lantern Family, Cade Lantern, has no objection to his son working with molten iron by the furnace, as long as he can craft a few decent weapons that he can handle. But his son's works, his blood pressure rose vigorously after reading them.
For example, Cathbello once built a very large all-metal warhammer. The hammer body is the bust of the goddess of the sky in the temple, and the hammer head is the head of the goddess.
Kaide Lantern really can't think of anyone in the White Moon Kingdom who can have the courage to use the goddess's head to knock on the back of someone's head. Moreover, the handle of this warhammer is too fragile to break the hammer head with a slight blow. This thing made by his own son has no value other than to throw it back into the furnace.
Cathbello also admitted that he did a good job of making molds that time, and then he made a few decorative swords with very regular shapes and gave them to his father, but he was still reprimanded. He has no plans to give up his interest, and has been honestly making practical weapons for some time in an attempt to change his father's view of his craft. As for his own aesthetic aspect, he can only let it go first.
He went to the blacksmith shop he knew early this morning to borrow a stove, and accidentally bumped into the Iron Princess who came to find fault.
The Iron Princess has the dual attributes of a magician and a princess, and there are a lot of attendants in the palace who don't know her, which is not as eye-catching as the princess of the prince's disease. Even if the former royal singer beside Cathbello was there, he couldn't recognize the fourth princess who lived in seclusion.
When Cacybello saw a beautiful woman take out a knife and cut off all the weapons on display in the shop, he was really fascinated by the heroic posture.
That knife is so charming, what kind of material is it made of? This must be a magic weapon, but the blade is so narrow, where should the magic array be engraved? No, even if it is a magic weapon, it is impossible for such a small knife to cut through fine iron, and the material of the knife must be very different!
Kathbello is fascinated by Iron Princess's knife and wants to ask about the knife and the name of the knife maker. So he changed out of his overalls, dressed himself back to the duke's son, and chased after him in a carriage.
"Miss, I want to invite you to a cup of tea, I don't know if it's an honor. ”
The fourth knight leaned into the princess's ear and told her the identity of the man. “...... So, princess, be a little polite when you refuse, and if he stalks us, we must be prepared to run away. ”
The Iron Princess nodded, smiled brightly and said to Cathbello, "We'll drive all the followers away." If it's just the two of us, it doesn't matter if you ask for it. ”
"Huh?" the Fourth Knight's eyes were about to drop. "Miss, do you know what you're talking about?"
With a confident expression of 'the mountain man has his own plan', the Iron Princess waved at her knight and used the princess's might to drive him and the two guards away.
Kathroo also waved his way back and approached the Iron Princess with an excited face.
"My name is Cathbello, and I am the last descendant of the lantern family. I don't know Miss's name?"
"Call me the Iron Maiden, I'm the blacksmith's daughter. Those were my apprentices. ”
The Iron Princess is a fool.
Apprentice? Cathbello went out with his brains, and he didn't believe that these four handsome young men and women were blacksmiths. However, he himself has hidden some real identities, and he is not qualified to accuse others. He just wanted to get a few words out of the mouth of the woman in front of him who called herself the Iron Woman.
"Iron Maiden...... Miss. ”
"Well, Mr. Cathbello. If you drink tea, you can pick a place, I am a foreigner and I am not familiar with this place, so I can go to your house. ”
Is this woman hinting at something?
"That, Miss. It may be a little inconvenient for my house, I know that there is a nice tea shop nearby......"
"Then go ahead!"
Cassbello was caught off guard by the decisiveness of the other party, and without the coachman, he had to walk down the street with the Iron Maiden. Although he wanted to talk about the knife directly, as a gentleman, he still habitually chatted with the woman in front of him about the usual chat topics.
The Iron Princess had little interest, and was almost unresponsive to what Kathroo threw out about literature, jewelry, and interpersonal gossip, just a perfunctory look.
Kathbello touched the ash of his nose and talked directly about the blacksmith shop in desperation.
Aren't you the daughter of a self-proclaimed blacksmith?
This is what the Iron Princess is waiting for.
When she had smashed the shop before, she had seen this man standing next to him in a dirty deerskin apron and heat-insulating gloves. Now, Kasbello is recognizable, though white and new.
Aren't you chasing me just curious about the letter opener in my hand?
The Iron Princess took the knife out of her waist and flicked her arm to rest the blade directly under Master Cathbello's neck.
"Do you know why I asked you to send your men away?"
Worst!
Kathbello is suffering from the biggest crisis of his life. Iron Princess's knife was tucked into the palm of her hand, and she strangled Kasbello's neck with it, looking like a girl caressing her boyfriend's cheek to passers-by.
Can't call for help......
Although Cassbello had a third-level martial arts cultivation in his upper limbs, he didn't dare to resist at all at the moment. The knife could cut through steel, and it would have been easier to remove his head from his neck.
"Miss...... What do you mean?" he said, his voice trembling, trying to get a chance to negotiate.
"Isn't that interesting? I ask you, do you know why I took both of our men away?"
Cathelo subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but his skin was cut through a small opening.
Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to die, something strange happened.
He watched as the woman who called herself the Iron Lady removed the knife from his front and stuffed it into his jacket pocket, and then smiled and said, "Because I am a lonely wolf! ”
