Chapter 45: Princess Catherine
"A lady wants to see me, who is it?" asked Li Ang, stunned.
Christina smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes, please!"
Leon nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go and see which lady wants to see me!"
So, Leon and the others followed Christina into a box.
When Li Ang entered the box, he immediately saw a beautiful woman with blonde hair and golden eyes.
This blonde beauty has long waterfall-like hair, is very tall, noble and elegant, wears a princess tiara, a white princess dress, a pair of high heels studded with sparkling diamonds, and is accompanied by two armor-clad guards.
"Let me guess, this is the number one princess Catherine?" said Leon's eyes lit up and he guessed.
Christina smiled and said, "Baron Leon, you are really a smart person, you guessed right at once, that's right, this is the eldest princess Catherine of our HRE Empire, and also the patron of our Ancient Magical Civilization Exploration Society!"
Li Ang hurriedly bent down slightly, raised his right hand to his heart, bowed to Princess Catherine, and said, "Lord Aomori Li Ang, I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine!"
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" the two siblings, Brand and Britney, and Yulia hurriedly saluted.
Princess Catherine smiled and said, "Hello, I heard Christina say that she found a newcomer with very good qualifications, so I came to take a look, and I saw a good show, I didn't expect that Baron Leon had not advanced to the transcendent level, and he already had the strength to defeat the transcendent rank powerhouse, and his achievements in the future were limitless!"
Li Ang hurriedly said humbly: "It's just that the opponent is too weak, although Balu has the power of the transcendent rank, he lacks combat experience and cannot exert the true strength of the transcendental rank powerhouse!"
Princess Catherine said with a smile: "Don't be too humble, Balu's strength is indeed the weakest of the top ten powerhouses in the Heavenly List, but it is by no means a weakling, you can defeat him, it means that you already have a strength comparable to that of a transcendental rank powerhouse, I wonder if Baron Leon is interested in joining the Royal Knights of the HRE and serving the country?"
"Knights of the Shinra Royal Order?" Li Ang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Over the past few months, the intelligence officer Bazel has heard a lot of useful information for him, including information about the Royal Knights of the HRE.
According to intelligence, this HRE Royal Knights seems to be a very powerful organization that can monitor the nobles of the HRE Empire, and if Leon can join the HRE Royal Knights, even if Lancelot is a prince, I am afraid he will not be able to help him.
At this time, Princess Catherine smiled and said: "The Royal Knights of the HRE is a military intelligence organization with the mission of defending the country, specializing in monitoring and cracking down on the noble lords who oppress the people and intend to rebel in various places, as well as eliminate thieves and evil organizations, and most of the members of the Royal Knights of the HRE are selected from the lower nobles and knights to ensure loyalty to the country!"
Leon thought for a moment and asked, "If I join the Royal Knights of the HRE, what treatment will I get?"
Princess Catherine smiled and said: "Since you are not yet a powerhouse of the transcendent rank, so after entering the Royal Knights, I am afraid that you must start from the reserve team, not to give you a certain value of military merit every time you complete the task, you can use military merit to exchange money and magic equipment, and even exchange titles and territories." ”
"In addition, if you want to learn the top spells or martial arts inherited by the academy, you can also use military skills instead of tuition, there is a 20% discount, which can be stacked with a 50% discount for the top ten freshmen, of course, you still have to complete the corresponding trial first!"
Li Ang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, then I will join the Royal Knights of the HRE!"
Princess Catherine took out a badge, handed it to Leon and said: "This is the reserve badge of the Royal Knights, which is enchanted with a messenger magic, which allows me to contact you at any time, from today onwards, you are a reserve member of the Royal Knights, I will issue you some tasks regularly, if you are in trouble in the imperial capital, you can also activate this badge to contact me!"
Li Ang hurriedly took the badge, nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I will definitely work hard to serve Her Royal Highness!"
Princess Catherine smiled happily and said, "Okay, then I look forward to your performance, I hope you can become an official member of the Royal Knights as soon as possible!"
With that, Princess Catherine walked out of the box with two guards.
Waiting for Princess Catherine and the others to leave, Christina smiled and said to Leon: "Congratulations to Baron Leon for joining the Royal Knights, and his future is limitless!"
Brand, Britney, and Yulia also congratulated each other.
Li Ang smiled bitterly: "It's just a reserve member now, there's nothing to congratulate!"
Brand shook his head and said: "The Royal Knights are a military organization directly under the royal family, and they are extremely powerful, I want to join it, but unfortunately they only select members from the lower nobles and knights, and I am not qualified to join at all!"
Christina also nodded and said: "Princess Catherine knows how to make good use of people, you must not be wrong to follow her, okay, let's not talk about this, come over and dine!"
With that, Christina beckoned everyone to sit down and asked the waitress of the cafeteria to bring the pre-ordered dishes.
First of all, it is an appetizing soup made of mushrooms, sour bamboo shoots and fish, which has whetted the appetite of Li Ang and others.
This is followed by greasy, golden and crispy grilled lamb chops, as well as tender and savory steaks.
Then there is bread smeared with honey and cream for dessert.
Finish with a glass of sweet and savory elf fruit wine.
"The chef of the academy is really amazing, this level, I'm afraid it's already comparable to the imperial chef of the palace!" After eating the big meal, Li Ang and the others couldn't help but praise one after another.
Christina smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the chef in the academy is not a human at all, but a magic puppet found from the ruins of an ancient magical civilization, that magic puppet is dedicated to housekeeping, and it doesn't know how to fight, only knows how to cook and do housework!"
"It's amazing, is the ancient magical civilization already so advanced, then why did such an advanced civilization suddenly disappear!" Britney asked curiously.
Christina said: "The disappearance of the ancient magical civilization has always been a mystery, but according to the conclusion of our exploration society's archaeology, the ancient magical civilization may have been destroyed because of the invasion of the demon world!"
"Oh, the invasion of the Demon Realm?" Upon hearing this, Leon couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, remembering the prophecy he had heard from the mouth of that demon warlock.
Three years from now, there will be an energy storm in the Celestial Realm, the gods will no longer be able to give divine power to protect the world, and the Dark Council will open the gates of the Otherworld, welcoming an army of demons, demons, and the undead.
If the demon warlock's prophecy is true, three years later, this world will probably be destroyed by the invasion of the demon world.
Thinking of this, Leon suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
"No, I have to improve my strength quickly, before the Demon Realm invades, I must at least advance to the Holy Rank, and I must control a strong enough army!" Soon, Li Ang set a goal in his heart.
Now that he has decided to work hard to become stronger, Leon can no longer sit still.
So he hurriedly said goodbye to Yulia and the others, and continued to come to the library of the academy, constantly flipping through various books.
After a few days, Leon finally went through all the books in the library, and with the help of the assistant magician, he memorized all the contents in his brain.
At this time, all kinds of basic knowledge skills have reached the level of ten experts.
And the Nebula Meditation Technique taught to him by Master Michelle was finally successfully explained and completely mastered by Li Ang.
Li Ang immediately returned to his residence, and then tried to cultivate this newly mastered Nebula Meditation Technique.
Soon, Leon sat down cross-legged and concentrated his mind in his brain according to the Nebula Meditation Technique, trying to condense it into one point.
Gradually, Leon's mental power condensed into a ball, which made his brain swell and ache.
But Li Ang still kept gritting his teeth and persevering, and continued to compress his mental power.
In the end, when Li Ang's spiritual power was compressed to the limit and he was about to be unable to hold on, he cultivated the second step of the exercise.
I saw that Li Ang instantly relaxed the compression of his spiritual power, and suddenly his spiritual power erupted in all directions.
"Boom", a loud thunderous sound sounded in Li Ang's brain, flashing with a blazing light like the creation of the universe.
The thunderous roar continued for a while before it gradually subsided.
At this time, a huge consciousness space had formed in Leon's mind.
The consciousness space is filled with colorful points of light, forming a brilliant ball of light.
Gradually, those points of light merged together, condensed into small clusters of light, and pulled each other, gradually converging into a brilliant nebula.
And Li Ang's consciousness space gradually dimmed, forming a night sky as black as ink.
At this point, Li Ang finally completed the first cultivation of the Nebula Meditation Technique.
"You have completed the cultivation of the first Nebula Meditation Technique, and your six elemental control abilities have each increased by one level, reaching Level 2!" the auxiliary spirit came with a prompt at the right time.
When Li Ang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
I didn't expect this nebula meditation technique to work so well.
So, he couldn't wait to continue to practice the Nebula Meditation Technique.
This time, Li Ang didn't need to compress his mental power and detonate his spiritual power, and it was easy to directly meditate on the pitch-black consciousness space and the brilliant nebula.
According to the follow-up exercises, Li Ang concentrated his spiritual power on the nebula and sensed the elemental structure of the nebula.
