Chapter 31: The Legendary Paladin
Ha ha......
"My son! Sure enough, he is a descendant of my Xue family. β
Speaking of this, Xue Lianzhou's expression immediately darkened, and then he said in a long voice: "I don't want to carry the charge of treason, in exchange for what you said, I will also carry it, and you will listen to your father tell you a story!"
Xue Houqi didn't understand the story of Xue Lianzhou very well, until the end Xue Houqi could only hear a hint of clues, the story is like this, I still remember that a thousand years ago, there were four kingdoms in the Qiankun Continent, one was the Shuiyue Kingdom that was cut off by the Ice and Snow Mountains and never interacted with outsiders, the other was the Shangshan Kingdom in the east and the Qingying Kingdom in the middle, and the last one was the Luoya Empire, which was the largest and most powerful in the history of the Qiankun Continent.
The Luoya Empire was recognized as the most powerful empire on the continent at that time, and there was no one, it was an empire that multiplied magic and fighting spirit to the peak, where genius magicians were vertical and horizontal, and the seven-colored fighting spirit was unparalleled in the world.
But with the continuous unprecedentedly large-scale battles between the two kingdoms of the Qing Underworld and the Shangshan Kingdom, the Roa Empire has gradually been affected, and it is one after another to the peak, and the hidden powerhouses continue to surface, and finally the Roa Empire also broke out civil strife, and finally led to the division of the Roa Empire into two, which is why there are now the two empires of Jiaya and Roland, the supreme rulers of these two empires are the Pope who sits in the Phantom City, and the Roland who dominates the Roman City.
"Father, please forgive the child for being dull, I don't know why you suddenly told me this? Could it be that this matter has something to do with what is going to happen next?" Xue Houqi became more and more confused the more he listened, so that he interrupted Xue Lianzhou before he could finish speaking.
Xue Lianzhou made a gesture not to be in a hurry, and then continued: " The Pope is the strongest person in the Qiankun Continent for thousands of years, and he marched into the Phantom City in high spirits at the moment of the civil strife in the Roa Empire, and even took the Phantom City in one fell swoop, although the capital of the Roa Empire is the Phantom City, but at that time, the civil strife of the Roa Empire has reached an uncontrollable situation, and the grievances between the magicians and the swordsmen have been around for a long time, even if the Pope's army has successfully entered the Phantom City, but the division of the Roa Empire is already an irreparable situation, even if the Pope has the heart to calm the civil strife and prevent the division of the Roa Empire, but it is also more than enough to do it, after all, the Roa Empire is too big, and the Phantom City is located in the west of the Roa Empire, which can only be beyond the reach of the whipγ β
In the end, after the appearance of Roland, the craziest man in history, the Pope completely gave up the decision to pacify the south, and this decision was completely divided as soon as the Roa Empire existed in name only.
In the end, the Jiaya Empire and the Roland Empire, which were split from the Roa Empire, were formally formed, and they were not invaded by the Putuo River, and the ten-year war came to an end.
Hearing this, Xue Houqi didn't interrupt out loud, and he was even more faintly aware of something.
"The two empires went to glory under the guidance of these two people, but in the tenth year after the end of the war, Roland, who was known as the most outstanding sword fighter in the continent's fashion, suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared, but his appearance was destined to draw the most brilliant stroke for the Roland Empire. β
"It is rumored on the mainland that Roland did not disappear, but was defeated and killed in a secret duel with the Pope, is that true?" Xue Houqi asked cautiously.
"Yes, this rumor is true. β
Xue Lianzhou sighed deeply and said, "But I know that Roland is not dead......
"What?"
Xue Houqi couldn't help but exclaim, and even more consciously bounced up from the chair, "Father, you said that Roland is not dead? How is it possible? If he really is not dead, how can he not appear all this time, this has been a thousand years! Looking at what has become of the current Roland Empire? If he really didn't die, he should have appeared a long time ago!"
From Xue Houqi's words, it is not difficult to hear his regret for a generation of genius swordsmen, his admiration for a generation of paladin Roland, and that is to have a trace of expectation for this legendary paladin, a thousand years have passed, the glory of the Roland Empire is not as good as before, and the Pope on the side is eyeing him, as the founder of the Roland Empire, if he really did not die, how could he watch the country he had beaten down be eaten away by the Jiaya Empire bit by bit.
"He's not dead, and you believe he's not dead, right?"
At this moment, Xue Lianzhou seems to have changed as a person, and there is a secret that has been buried in his heart for many years and is about to share with others and show unprecedented ease, the tense face gradually relaxed, and the eyes like a torch stared at Xue Houqi and said: "The only paladin in the history of the continent, how can a man who has completely mastered the seven-colored fighting spirit and has a mysterious domineering spirit die like this, not to mention that the people of the whole continent don't believe it, I'm afraid even the Pope Lao'er may not believe it." β
Xue Houqi's intuition told his father that the history of a thousand years ago must be related to the visit of people from the Shangshan Kingdom. So he took a deep breath and forced down the shock in his heart and said, "Where is he now?"
"It's in Shanhai City. Xue Lianzhou smiled meaningfully, and then said meaningfully: "He is your playmate from childhood to adulthood!"
Although Xue Houqi was already trying his best to control his emotions, he couldn't help but set off a monstrous wave in his heart when he heard Xue Lianzhou say this, and immediately blurted out uncontrollably: "You are talking about Luo ......"
"That's right, let's go! Unprecedented changes will happen in Shanhai City next, guard that kid, the black knights of the Roland Empire should almost arrive at this time, they must not be allowed to take him away, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." β
"Do they want to kill Tiancheng too?
"There's nothing that shouldn't be, with Rod's brutality, do you think he will let a person who may threaten his status live well, not to mention that the Kunlun Mirror was born in Shanhai City, which is even more of a big trouble for Rod, and now the warriors who covet the artifact Kunlun Mirror are constantly gathering beyond Shanhai City, and it will be difficult for Shanhai City not to mess up next. β
Xue Hou thought for a moment and then turned around and walked out of the side hall, but he stopped as soon as he took two steps, and then turned around, and at this moment Xue Lianzhou smiled mildly and said: "Don't worry, kid, the infamy of traitors and the Xue family can't afford it, I will escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess to leave safely in the event of turmoil." β
Hearing Xue Lianzhou say this, Xue Hou laughed, and smiled from the bottom of her heart for the first time in her life.
Xue Houqi, who walked out of the general's mansion, completely understood, the reason why Xue Lianzhou promised the envoy of Shangshan Country was nothing more than a delaying tactic, and the reason why the envoy of Shangshan Country had the courage to enter Shanhai City was to talk to Xue Lianzhou about business, presumably knowing that Roland's deceased was in Shanhai City to use this as a threat, which undoubtedly pinched Xue Lianzhou's weakness, compared to the Shangshan National Army's soldiers in the city, the threat brought to them by the Roland Empire is the greatest, although the decline of the Roland Empire, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of the Roland Empire is only above the Shangshan Stateγ
The Roland Empire led by Rhodes has evolved into militarism under the pressure of the Jiaya Empire, and if Rhodes uses bloodthirsty and brutal methods, if he knows that the deceased after Roland's reincarnation is in Shanhai City, the consequences are unimaginable.
But now Rhodes has obviously smelled the wind and grass, and even sent the black knight to secretly go to Shanhai City across the border of the Qing Netherworld, so that the conspiracy between Shangshan Kingdom and Xue Lianzhou will naturally be nullified.
It can be said that Xue Lianzhou did not intend to conspire with Shangshanguo from the beginning, all he wanted was chaos in Shanhai City, the more chaotic the better, who called Huangtianqi would appear in Shanhai City at this juncture, but only in this way could he have the opportunity to send Huangtianqi and Huang Ying away safely.
As for how Luo knew how to learn the news, Xue Lianzhou didn't want to think about it anymore, he might be able to resist the black knight coming, but what about the army of Shangshan Country? This is very suspenseful, but don't forget that there are also tens of millions of warriors who come for the artifact, this is a variable, as for what kind of scene Shanhai City will evolve into at that time Xue Lianzhou doesn't bother to think about it, he will always have a way to muddy the water in Shanhai City.
And the possession of the artifact Kunlun Mirror, Ye Qingxuan is destined to play an unexpected role in this turmoil.
In the past two days, the warriors have been rushing to Shanhai City, the business of various inns and restaurants is unprecedentedly hot, and the warriors with various weapons can be seen everywhere on the street, at this time, the inn where Ye Qingxuan is temporarily staying is about to be full, and Ye Qingxuan seems to have noticed that things are unusual, but he doesn't have extra time to pay attention to these, it's not that he was hooked by a girl with a bright eye.
Now Ye Qingxuan is busy arguing with others! Oh! Not a quarrel to be exact, but a fight, because he has already beaten people.
"Boy, do you know if you have to talk about it in the future?"
In the dining room on the first floor of the inn, Ye Qingxuan pointed to a young man in his twenties lying on the ground in front of the dining table, and said viciously: "Even your virtue has come out to run the rivers and lakes, I don't bother to talk about you, don't you know that the misfortune comes from the mouth? Can't you learn to be humble when you don't have a strong strength to support you?"
The man got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked around, his face flushed, obviously not because he was beaten by Ye Qingxuan, but because his face was too thin and there was no place to tell about his grievances. It's really embarrassing, you said that it's not easy for me to come out and run the rivers and lakes at a young age, who did I recruit to provoke today?
Now in front of so many people, he was completely blown up by a man about his age, and the diners in the hall were all watching, many of them knew him, so how could he be called in the future!
The man glared at Ye Qingxuan resentfully for a moment, and then snatched the door away. Don't go? Can you not leave, he can't afford to lose that person, and besides, he is afraid that he will not have the material to burn if he stays in Qingshan?
