Chapter 1: The Pupil of the Clear Sky

Next Chapter

In winter, the world of everything withers, the western part of the world of Denaleo, a village covered in snow.

The snow, falling like a feather, is as clean as God's crystal gift to the world, and whenever a cold wind blows, it is like a dance of elves that has reappeared in the world, beautiful and bleak.

In one stone bungalow after another, tired village residents huddled one after another, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, but it was difficult to alarm them in the slightest.

If they hadn't been restrained by exertion at this moment, the villagers would have gone out when they heard the sound, and then stared ahead with wide eyes, and then let out an exclamation of "someone has come to us at this time".

Indeed, two visitors from the village, both riding tall horses and walking side by side on the snow, were not ordinary.

"Now it's easy, when you boast to the Imperial Parliament, you should think that if it snows, we will face this kind of torture now!" said a man on the left, wearing a black cloak and a figure that made people know that he was very strong at a glance.

The other man on the horse on the right was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly apologetically, but his face was indeed handsome, and he was dressed in bronze armor, and a golden glittering badge pinned to his chest.

"It's true that I was too hasty in this matter, and I didn't think too much about it when I promised it to the Duke. But—" He paused, and a look of determination suddenly flashed in his dark brown eyes.

"But as a warrior of the Royal Knights of the Holy Wing Empire, this bit of wind and snow, in the end, is not even an ordinary trial, how can it stump us?" After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the golden emblem engraved with the lion pattern on his left chest, and a proud look suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

"Yes, you're right, 'The Holy Winged Knight is required to be absolutely obedient to the Emperor and the Council for the rest of his life', how could I easily forget the oath I made at that time?"

"It's called Zhuyu Village, guess how I know?" the handsome man smiled slightly, "A good knight never does anything unprepared, so I have prepared the Chronicles of Denaleo for a long time, and whenever I take a break along the way, I will take it out and look through it to determine where we will arrive next and the specifics of it." ”

"Interesting, I've heard that this book is a must-have in the hands of every traveler on the continent, and you've dreamed of being an adventurer since you were a child, Bill. The man on the left turned sideways and said lightly.

"If that were the case, I would have been in the quest for the ultimate mystery of human history, and the three skills that Denario adventurers must have, 'Courage, Swordsmanship, and Wisdom', were also chosen by the Royal Knights ten years ago. The handsome man sighed slightly, and then he reached out and grasped the ornate saber at his waist, only to see that the scabbard shone with a golden light, which was obviously not an ordinary item.

"There is a clear and winding stream near this place, known as the 'Pearl River', which produces a large number of pearls that are as clean as the stars in the summer, and they are hidden deep in the body of the mussels, and without exception they are very valuable, so there is a steady stream of people who mine them. ”

"But the rapidity of the stream is the most powerful in the world, and every year, there are bound to be some cases of unlucky people not only not picking pearls, but being swept away by the current. ”

"The people who settle here are called 'pearl guardians', they don't collect pearls for a living, but are in charge of everything here and control the amount of collection under the orders of the king, and every summer, there are only a hundred adventurers who can enter the river to search for mussels, which also makes it almost impossible to get people here in winter..."

"But this time it's not our job to talk about that. The man on the left interrupted the other man's speech suddenly, and then he touched his head again with a puzzled expression.

"The Lockedan royal family, which was still beautiful some time ago, has suddenly lost its heir, and after the death of the king, only Duke Reddick can inherit the throne, which is probably not as simple as I thought. He suddenly accentuated his tone and said solemnly, his voice fluttering far away, echoing in the empty snow, but there was no response.

"I don't know much about this, but the prevailing opinion in the Sacred Wing is that 'the king died of murder' and that 'the children of the royal family died in the flames', and a flamboyant, sloppy court cook orchestrated all of this and committed the heinous sins. Bill explained, but the same incomprehension and surprise in his eyes as his friends on the side.

"In any case, the Silver Wing Kingdom is a friend of the Holy Wing Empire, and the king is on the throne, we must complete the tasks assigned by the Council, so let's congratulate them with all our might. The man on the left yawned again, and then he suddenly looked up at the sky, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"The day after the death of the Silverwing King Ethore, His Majesty was also ill, and many things were pushed to the council, by the way, the envelope that Duke Findal gave you is still on you, right?" he asked with a sudden anxious expression, as if the things he had tried so hard to guard were about to be lost.

"Don't worry, it's foolproof. Bill replied. Unconsciously, the snowflakes that fell one after another had covered the top of their clothes, and the horses' hooves stepped on the snow, leaving a long trail behind them, which stretched until the end of the vast earth, which was also the origin of the two of them today's departure.

The elf-like snowflakes, like the funeral of the earth from the sky, swirled and danced, and the cold wind swept away the last trace of warmth and peace left in the world.

The earth, where no grass grows, seems to be completely buried by sadness, and the world, shrouded in silver-white and lightless silence, seems to be only a little bit, and it is about to be stripped of its original colorful colors.

The war horses under the two of them neighed lowly, and in the vast sky in the distance, a heavy and mysterious figure suddenly flashed, stepping on the snow, leaving a bottomless mark.

The two of them couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time reined in the reins. The snowflakes were still flying, surrounding the body of the thing in front of them, and for a moment it seemed to have a soul.

Bill clenched his saber tightly... His face was serious, looking ahead, and his eyes were full of nervousness and anxiety when a crisis was coming.

"He's riding a horse, why, at this time, how could there be anyone..."The sword in his hand, even tighter, was held in the palm of his hand that was already slightly dripping with sweat.

In the blink of an eye, the person who came had come to the front, and the silver-white war horse under his crotch swept by like the wind. However, his body was constantly heaving, his mouth seemed to be panting slightly, and when he came to Bill's group, he did not react in the slightest. But Bill and his party couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the expressions on their faces were as if they had encountered thunder from the sky.

Pass...

However, at this moment, there are some things that people will never forget.

It is an unimaginably handsome face with a high nose bridge that is unique among all men. The long silver hair is like a silver chrysanthemum blooming in winter. Holding a sharp sword with a silver dragon hilt in his hand, slanted into his waist, he walked indifferently, as if he had not crossed paths with the two of them.

The most surprising thing is that his blue pupil color is like a sunny day, without the slightest impurity, and the things contained in it are as unfathomable as the ocean.

The most precious diamond in the world is flesh and blood...

"Clear Sky Eyes"... How can it be!

A week ago, the Silverwing City suddenly caught fire, and all the members of the Lockdan royal family were all buried in the fire, which is also the new king's words when remembering the old royal family.

But now, the person in front of him has the calm and gentle, pupil color like a clear sky, which is completely contradictory to the words of the successor king.

The man on the left sighed: "The color of the pupils exclusive to the Silverwing Royal Family's Lockedan is pure blue like the sea and the sky, this feature has been known to the nobles of all races on the Denario continent for a thousand years ago, but today, we have witnessed it as if we were in a dream, and we can't believe ourselves." ”

Bill said: "On the mainland, the eyes that can be called the 'pupil of the clear sky' have always belonged only to Lockdan, and he must be one of them just now, this is a legend on the continent, and it is also a wonderful thing that the world's curiosity hunters want to see: the pure and unadulterated azure eyes that only the Silver Wing royal family has." ”

"But, a week ago, weren't all the children of the royal family already buried in the fire? Why? Could it be that someone has deceived us all this time?" said Bill, as he looked behind him, and the horses under the crotches of the people who came, and the hoof prints that had passed through the snow, had been intimately blended with the footprints of the two of them at some point.
