More than 2,000 years ago, the famous scholar and 12th level sage Weston Surmarine discovered that in addition to a few special abilities, the power contained in the bloodline of "Oude" can be divided into two ways of expression: one is to collect the elements of the world into one's own body by exercising one's own ** and will, and transform it into an element that can be stored by itself, and the ability to release it when needed.

The other is to exercise one's mental power and perception, communicate with the elements in the world, and manipulate the elements to form their own desired forms to achieve various goals, and Weston named this power of manipulating the elements "magic". And because the same thing behaves in a fixed way under the same conditions, no human being has ever been able to cultivate both vitality and magic at the same time.

- "The Chosen One, Ode"

Just as Kaye fell, about to die in the wolf's kiss. Suddenly many golden points of light appeared in the air, and they condensed into a golden greatsword in front of Kaye, cutting the wolf in half like scissors cutting through a piece of tissue paper, and then turned into bits of golden light again and disappeared into the air

In the evening, Gad, who was waiting in the palace, found that Kaye had not returned, and he returned to Afflica with a team of guards, only to find the bodies of the seriously injured and unconscious Kaye and the body of Sabo in the afternoon, not far from Kaye. It was night, and Lionheart shook.

Lionheart Palace, in an unknown dark room...

"Bastard, I know you must have done it, you broke our agreement!"

"Ou~Ou~ My close ally, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it?" said a figure wearing a black hood and a black robe in the darkness in a slightly playful tone.

"Don't pretend to be garlic! It's your hands and feet to do the matter with Afflica! You're the only one who can confuse the mind of the monster in the territory of the Winged Lion!"

"Oh, you already know so soon? Hehe, the people of the Ryan family are really not easy to fool. But that's what makes me an ally, isn't it?

Alright, Baines, trust me, it was just an unfortunate mistake, and I promise it will never happen again. This time, let's take it as a little test for your nephew. And I was careful that in order not to be detected by Arasius, I had only confused a small group of Sabos. ”

"8 Saber of the same rank and 1 head wolf of level 6, you call this a 'little' test?"

"Uh... Anyway, your nephew came back alive, didn't he? Rest assured, I'm in control. ”

"I don't want to see anything like that happen again, and if there is a next time, I will be your enemy. Even for beings like you, you can't achieve your plans here without my help. ”

"Bairns, why do you want to make the topic so serious?forget the unpleasant conversation just now~ Speaking of which, I'm still more interested in how your nephew solved that Sabo group. Judging from Sabo's wounds, that's at least an 8-level Ode can do it, right?"

......

At the same time, in the study of Byzantium...

A tall man with snow-white skin and a crimson silk robe stood at the side of Byzantium. "My friend, I'm very sorry for this incident. I've checked the scene, and it's clear that the Sabo are under the control of some evil spell.

However, the other party did it very secretly, and I was not able to sense the fluctuations of evil energy at that time. This is what happened on my turf and I am to blame for it. ”

"Alasiaus, you don't have to take the blame on yourself. Our enemies hide in the shadows, always defenseless, and Kaye survived the storm without any danger. The young lion cubs of the empire can only grow when they leap over thorns, and I believe that this experience will also give him a lot to gain.

Judging from the wounds of the wolf, someone must have secretly helped Kaye. But if it's one of us, why don't we send the unconscious Kaye back?"

"Byzantium, leave this matter to me, and I will let my people investigate. There will be a day when the fog will lift. It's just that I'm worried that the enemy will have some conspiracy when we go on the expedition, so it's better for you to make more arrangements. ”

"Well, I will. When we return from the expedition, Kaye and Augustine's coming-of-age ceremony is not far off. When the time comes, when they have mastered the new power, they should be able to have more or less self-protection ability. ”

......

Seven days later, inside the palace of Lionheart.

"Where am I... I... Are you dead?"

Kaye opened his eyes, and his gaze gradually intersected. The first thing that catches your eye is the familiar knightly proclamation on the ceiling.

Linda, go and inform Your Majesty and the Queen. ”

Hearing the shouts around him, Kaye turned his head to see Gad standing beside his bed with a surprised expression.

"Gad, don't be so surprised, I'm just sleeping sweetly. ”

"My beloved Highness, you have slept for only a week, and I can't afford not to worry about it. ”

When Kaye heard this, he was also surprised, but he didn't expect that his coma would only be a week away. He felt the condition of his body, and the wounds had obviously been treated by divine magic, and they had basically healed. But the body still exudes a heavy sense of weakness.

"Priest White has already come to treat His Highness when he hears the news, but Priest White said that His Highness has lost too much blood, and for some reason his mental strength is also seriously overdrawn. Therefore, it is still necessary to recuperate slowly for a while. ”

......

As they spoke, Byzantium and Christine pushed the door open.

Christine saw that Kaye was able to sit and laugh with Gad, and her hanging heart finally let go. She walked briskly over to the bed and took Kaye into her arms.

"Thank you, gods, that you have finally woken up, my child. ”

Feeling her mother's concern and care, Kaye couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I'm sorry Mother, for worrying you. I'll never run around alone again. ”

"Kaye, you can rest and recuperate during this time. I'm going to go to Cold Rock City once in three weeks, and I hope to see you healthy and healthy when I come back. Byzantium's face was still calm and resolute, but he couldn't hide his caring look at Kaye and said.

"Will you come back for my coming-of-age ceremony, then? ”

"Of course. How could I have missed my son's coming of age. It was a big day for me. ”

"Then we agreed! Keeping one's word is the basic rule of knights. ”

"Well, I promise. By the way, I'll have Augustine accompany you recently. There are a lot of things you need to learn after the coming-of-age ceremony, so it's good to prepare early. ”

............

A month and a half later...

Summer on the continent of Navia always comes early, and even though it has just entered June, the sun is already blazing.

The farmers of the continent of Navia are convinced that the summer heat is caused by Loki, the god of fire, who has drunk all the water underground. And the period before Frey, the god of abundance and peace who presides over the nectar, refills the water, is summer. When Frey fills these waters, it brings a bountiful harvest for autumn.

Thus, in Navia, Frey is a beloved deity, and the Elves are his strongest adherents. As for Loki, he doesn't have such a good reputation. Loki has a moody personality but is also passionate about pranks, making him a nerve-wracking character no matter where he goes.

Even in Asgard, the kingdom of God, there is only his sworn brother, Odin, the father of the gods, who can barely make him restrain himself.

At noon, the scorching sun hung high in the air, showing its majesty to the world. The blue sky seemed to have been washed by water, and there was not a single cloud.

Kaye, Gad, and Augustine, a bizarre combination of two horses and one lion, walk the mountain roads near the northern town of Lane. And the most striking of them is undoubtedly Augustine, a winged lion whose hair looks like silver in the sun.

Judging by the color of his hair, Augustine undoubtedly inherited the lineage of his father, "White Mist" Aracios, with a white body and a dark gray mane. However, slightly different from the snow-white coat of Alasius, Augustine's hair color is more silvery-white.

The Winged Lion was a level 8 monster when it was born, and then in the next 20 years, it went through the juvenile stage and the growth period, and its strength would always reach the peak of level 9. After reaching adulthood at the age of 20, the winged lion will begin to grow a pair of wings between its ribs, and its strength will also reach level 10, officially stepping into the realm of high-level magical beasts.

The royal bloodline in the Winged Lion clan will gradually awaken a special talent after adulthood, and most of the aliases of each Winged Lion King come from this.

For example, the current leader of the Winged Lion Clan, "White Mist" Aracios, is said to be able to control the mist. And King Darren's contractual companion, Nicholas the Eternal Night, appears in many of the bard's poems as a man who can manipulate the dark element.

At this time, Augustine was not yet an adult, so he had not yet given birth to wings and could not fly.

"Your Highness, I really don't think it's a good idea for you to go and purge the Black Knight not long after you have recovered. I really can't figure out how His Majesty would agree to your request before he set out on the expedition. "The guards of Lionheart City would be shocked if they saw this scene in front of them, they were meticulous and upright, and the elder of the guard, who was noble as the Lord of Glory, was staring at the blonde figure in front of him with an unusually mournful look.

Gade sighed faintly, he watched His Royal Highness the Prince who grew up with everything, but he was a little too energetic.

"Gade, you didn't stop all the way... Actually, I wanted to go to the front with my father, but my father didn't agree. So I had to settle for the next best thing. I just wish I could fight at the same time as my father. I wanted my father to know that one day, his back could be handed over to me to protect. ”

Hearing Kaye's words, Gad couldn't help but be stunned, and at this moment he suddenly realized that the blonde boy in front of him had grown up unconsciously.

"If you think so, Your Highness, then we must hurry. As agreed, we should arrive at the meeting point this evening. ”

Five days ago, Kaye and his party, escorted by a squadron of knights from the Second Imperial Legion, began their journey to the destination, the eastern town of Dent in Bledsoe. Then because Augustine caused a lot of commotion along the way, in order to avoid more trouble on the way, and also to avoid being heard by the Black Knight, he was startled.

Eventually, after deliberation, it was decided that the troops would meet near Dent in two ways. The knights of the Second Legion continued their original route, while Kaye and his party marched through the sparsely populated mountain region towards Dante.
