The national capital of Wensted, known as the magnetic capital of the "capital of machinery".

In the central city, the 300-meter-high building, with a height only below the Fengshen Tower, is the tallest building that symbolizes "royal power" - the Great Hall of the Kingdom Council, the inner hall.

In the glorious hall, a huge ball of light emitting a warm white light floats in the dome of the hall, bringing light.

In the center of the hall, there is a long metal table with a silver white body, emitting a cold arc light.

On each side of the bench are six metal chairs with a mechanical aesthetic, and at the back of the chairs, they are marked with numbers.

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 on the left and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 on the right.

On the short side of the long table, facing the empty throne that stood tall in the depths of the hall.

At this moment, there are twelve metal chairs on the long table, each sitting with figures of different shapes.

After a long period of depression, sitting on the chair marked "1" on the top of the left side, a figure in a robe, with a distorted light on his face, and a mock lake slowly spoke:

"[The Princess], [Swordsman], you have failed."

The voice was indifferent, unable to hear a trace of emotion, as cold as a machine.

Subconsciously, the rest of the people in the seats set their eyes on the top head on the right and the two people at the end of the left side.

Yin Lina was wearing a dark purple dress from Lolita, and her right arm made of silver and white metal constantly flashed with pure cyan magic lines, which was a blow from [Storm Aria] that injured her magic core, and it couldn't be removed in a short time.

Sitting at the end of the left side, Glenn was covered in white bandages except for his eyes, nose, and mouth, which seemed to be very incompatible with the solemn and majestic atmosphere of this place.

Facing everyone's gaze, [Swordsman] Glenn just shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just a handyman, what do you think I'm for?" ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect Yin Lina to have a day of failure~" Sitting on the second seat on the left, the chair marked "3", a woman who looks very similar to Yin Lina, but has a surprisingly good figure and is wearing a bright long skirt like fire, covers her mouth with her hand and chuckles.

—The Third Seat of the Kingdom Council, [Queen], Rhaenys Stokes.

At the same time, she is also the sister of [the royal daughter] Yin Lina.

A year earlier, [the Queen] had defeated the previous three [cavalry] and was promoted to the new three.

For the legislators in the lower nine seats, they naturally did not dare to interject when the upper three seats spoke.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, the twelve councillors seem to be similar, but only they know best what kind of monster the upper three seats are.

Yin Lina glanced at her sister, who was talking cool words, and ignored it, but said in a calm voice:

"The Twilight Sword Master activates [Storm Aria], and my Thunder Mecha can't fight it."

"[Aria of the Storm]...... That's really not a force you can fight against. The chief figure recognized this reason, and after a slight pause, said:

"There are three things that are happening at this meeting of parliamentarians. First of all, the day of the Holy Wind Parade will come in a week, and since this operation has failed to get rid of the Twilight Sword Saint and Acat, then, do a good job of blocking it. ”

"The process of the Parade of the Holy Wind is set by the original wind and cannot be changed by others, but I don't want to see Acat, or anyone else with the blood of sin, standing at the second level."

"The specific blockers of the checkpoint will be determined after the guardians of the parade are determined."

"But before they arrive in Cidu, we can arrange a 'small gift' for them."

"From the ancient city of Sam to Cidu, the cities that the pilgrimage route passes through, arrange some 'scattered people' who have nothing to do with the kingdom council to stop it, [Queen], you are in charge of the professional association, you should know best what kind of people are suitable, and you are responsible for this matter."

"Okay~" [Queen] Rhaenys chuckled.

After a brief pause, the Chief's voice continued:

"The second thing, [cavalry], how are the Wind Sons doing now?"

The person who was named was seated in the second seat on the right, a burly man in heavy mechanical armor, even if he was sitting, he was two meters tall, and it was hard to imagine how tall this person should be when he stood up.

Facing the chief's question, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "The situation is normal, the four sons of the wind are under supervision, but some time ago, the lava knight who was responsible for supervising the fall of the No. 3 son of the wind, the person who shot was an unknown candle star man, the old city lord of Pernes Port was about to take down this person, but was stopped by the young palace division of the candle star embassy. ”

"Through follow-up investigation, it was learned that this candlestar man should have seen the extraordinaryness of No. 3 and accepted him as a disciple, so he had a conflict with the lava knight."

"Candle Star, Shaogong Division...... Hum! This account, and then calculate it with Candle Star! The Chief Councilor snorted coldly: "Regarding this Candlestar, you will go after it yourself, and before that, you will personally send the four Children of the Wind to 'there' before the day of the Holy Wind Parade, and you must ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"Understood." [The cavalry] nodded, and the heavy mechanical armor made a regular "rhythm" sound as he nodded.

"Now, let's talk about the third thing."

"As for the Candlestar Exchange Mission, from now on, until the end of the Holy Wind Tour, we must ensure that they stay in the embassy courtyard 'safely'."

"Chief, the others are okay to say, but their captain, I may not be able to stop them." A young man with a very immature face who sat down in the third seat on the left said.

He is the fifth seat of the Kingdom Council, [Deacon].

"What the hell ......" After a short mutter, a voice sounded: "[Imperial Maiden], you are in charge of the Candlestar Exchange Mission, and [Deacon] assists." ”

"Understood." [The princess] nodded, the expression on her face still indifferent.

Although she was injured, her strength was still not comparable to the Legend of the String Moon.

……

The ancient city of Sam.

Leo walked out of the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary, and behind him was the sound of the metal door slowly closing.

Although the Twilight Sword Saint said it lightly, the injuries he suffered were very serious, and he could not be completely healed in just three days, and he still needed to recuperate.

After sparring with Leo and presiding over a grand Storm Oath ceremony to awaken the sleeping Knights of Lanloins, his body was a little overwhelmed.

After seeing this, Leo did not bother anymore and chose to leave.

Walking on the quiet walkway in the inner area of the City Lord's Mansion, Leo's thoughts drifted a little.

Acater turned out to be the son of the first leader of the Knights of Lanloins, which he did not expect. Prior to this, although he had guessed that Acater had a close relationship with the Knights of Lanloins, through magical swordsmanship, he did not expect that it would be so close.

It turns out that the "choice" in your mouth is the Parade of the Holy Wind......

Burdened with the burden of the family, with the cold eyes of the world, he resolutely chose this path of "death".

Should I call you stupid, or should I say you don't forget your mission......

Feeling the heavy weight of the [Heart of Oath] in his arms, Leo was silent for a while.

In fact, when answering the Twilight Sword Saint earlier, his reasons were not exhausted.

Choosing to be the Guardian of the Pilgrimage is of course to repay Arcat's life-saving grace, but on the other hand, Leo also has his own selfish intentions.

Judging from the current situation, the pale bone mask figure that appeared in the alley outside Mimi's bookstore that day, and even the attack that caused the St. Annus to encounter the mutant sea monster in the first place, as well as the pseudo-legendary-level high-level blood beast that was manipulated and attacked in this red crystal incident, the force behind it is definitely related to the Kingdom Council.

And the abilities displayed by the pale bone mask figure are from the same origin as the Archbishop of the Dark Moon, so it is conceivable that the Kingdom Council must have something to do with the Goddess of the Dark Moon.

Although Leo didn't know why the Kingdom Councilor of Winsted, who ruled the Wind God, would have a relationship with another god, no matter what, since it was confirmed that the Kingdom Council had a connection with the Dark Moon Goddess, Leo would definitely confront them one day.

Whether it is to find a way back to Blue Star, or to repay the "kindness" of the former Archbishop of Dark Moon who caused his sister Li Fei's spiritual sea to be eroded.

Although he can't wait to rush to the magnetic capital immediately and find out who is behind the scenes, Leo still has a clear understanding of himself.

Although his strength is now against the average Crescent Moon Legend, once he encounters the String Moon Legend, there is a high probability that he will not be an opponent.

According to the words of the Twilight Sword Master, the three steps of the legend, each step, are completely different landscapes, and the difference in combat effectiveness is huge.

And the twelve members of the Kingdom Parliament, not to mention the legend of the full moon in the upper three seats, in the lower nine seats, there is certainly no shortage of legends of the first moon.

With his current strength, if he wants to do what he wants, he is still too far behind.

And serving as the guardian of the parade of the Holy Wind is a side confrontation between him and the Kingdom Council.

On the bright side, there are the rules of the original wind and the ancient city of Sam, and there is no fear of chaos in the kingdom council.

What's more, as long as he kills enough councilors and gets more "Heroic Souls", even if he hasn't found the "path" for the time being and can't be promoted to a legend, his actual combat power can reach an extremely terrifying level with his terrifying physical fitness!

Of course, it would be best if you could determine the "path" and become a legend before the parade of the Holy Wind began, but if you can't, you can't force it.

It will be a week before the parade of the Holy Winds.

Leo is ready to take advantage of this precious and short time to sort out what he has learned.

After sparring with the Twilight Sword Master, he gained a deeper understanding of magical swordsmanship.

In his thoughts, Leo quickly walked back to the tower where he lived.

The setting sun illuminates the tower a little golden.

All the way up, to the top floor, this is the highest standard residence of the city lord's mansion of the ancient city of Sam to receive foreign guests, even if it is a legend, it is not necessarily qualified to live here.

As soon as he walked out of the corner of the stairs, Leo's footsteps paused slightly.

In the distance, at the door of the house where he lived, there stood a somewhat familiar figure.

It's her?

The slim cyan armor outlines a certain curve, and the long blue hair exposed after taking off the helmet is softly draped behind the head.

Acat's sister, Claire Pasdea?

How could she be here?

His thoughts flashed through the relationship between the Pasteya family and the ancient city of Sam, and Leo knew it in his heart. There has been such a big turmoil in the ancient city of Sammu recently, in order to ensure the safety of the Acatel sisters and brothers, it is normal to bring them into the city lord's mansion.

However, she came to me, is there something wrong?

Confused, Leo stepped closer.

The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of Claire Pasdea, who turned her head for the first time, and a young man dressed in white with a long sword at his waist was reflected in the child's hole.

It wasn't until Leo walked three meters in front of her and stopped, that Claire Pasdea suddenly woke up, she subconsciously raised her left hand, pressed it against her chest, and made a knightly salute: "Mr. Leo, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing." ”

"Miss Claire, do you have anything to do with me?" Due to Claire's special relationship with Arcat, Leo was very gentle towards her.

He didn't know if there was a conflict between Acater and Claire, but in any case, she was Arcat's biological sister, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Claire was not surprised that Leo knew her name, apparently she had known about Leo's relationship with Arcatel before she visited.

Under Leo's gaze, Claire hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and finally said up:

"Mr. Leo, I heard that you are going to follow ...... Acat, let's go to the magnetic capital together? ”

"Yes." Leo nodded and acknowledged.

There was no need to hide it, and almost everyone in Winsted would know about it a week later on the day the Parade of the Holy Wind began.

Hearing Leo's affirmative reply, Claire's eyes flickered for a moment, and even her face turned a little pale, she pursed her lips: "You are a friend of Acater, can you please persuade him to give up this trip to Cidu." ”

"This is the road to death, and even you, who accompanied Acatel to the Magnetic Capital, will be greatly implicated."

Leo looked deeply at the girl in front of him: "Miss Claire, if you are really worried, why don't you go and persuade Arcatel yourself?" Compared to me, you are his own sister. ”

"Me......" Claire shook her head, her heroic face darkened.

"As for the danger?" Leo smiled swellingly: "Many things, even if you know the danger, you must do it." ”

Hearing Leo's words, Claire was silent for a long time, she recalled that more than ten years ago, the man named "father" seemed to have said such things, but after that, there was no father in her world.

Now......

Claire's face turned paler: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making it difficult for you, please forgive me for the interruption." ”

With that, she turned and walked away quickly.

Looking at the back of the blue-haired female knight leaving, Leo didn't speak, and the footsteps of "stomping" faded away until it disappeared completely, and then Leo turned his head and looked at the dark place in the corner not far away:

"It's all here, why didn't you come out just now?"

The sound fell, the air there suddenly distorted, and a gray-clothed figure walked out.

Facing Leo's gaze, Acat's eyelids drooped and he shook his head: "What if you come out?" Now that you've made your 'choice', there's nothing to hesitate about. ”

"That's what I said, but if you talk about it well, at least it can make the people around you feel better." Leo looked at Acatel in front of him and found that the magic fluctuations on his body had been promoted from the transcendent peak limit three days ago to a half-step legend!

That's why Claire couldn't spot him hiding at such close range.

"Your magic power ......" Leo frowned, his eyes stern, "Didn't I warn you, that kind of secret method of forcibly pulling out magic power must not be used again!" If you do this, I'm afraid that before you go to Cidu, the tour is over, and your soul will be scattered! ”

An apologetic smile appeared on Acater's face, "It seems that Lord Twilight Sword Saint has told you everything." ”

"That's right, the Twilight Sword Saint asked me to be your Guardian of the Pilgrimage, and I agreed." Leo was expressionless: "But the way you are now, you don't care about yourself so much, it makes me wonder if I have made a wrong choice." ”

Acater was silent, and after a moment, he exhaled softly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I lied to you before."

"Once this secret method is used, there is no possibility of stopping, it will cause my magic power to grow for a month, until the limit of its capacity, and after a month, the effect of the secret method will disappear."

"My previous request, I just wanted you to follow quietly and help stabilize my soul when it was about to be scattered."

"It's not meant to make you a Guardian of the Pilgrimage."

"This tour has nothing to do with you, you don't need to risk your life to help me."

"You ......"

Before Acater could finish speaking, Leo stepped forward and pressed one hand on his shoulder:

"Acater, just as you make a 'choice' and then don't change it, becoming a Guardian of the Pilgrimage is also my 'choice', and this has nothing to do with you."

After speaking, Leo rubbed shoulders past Arcater's body, pushed open the door and entered: "I'm tired, don't bother me." ”

"Bang!" The door closed, and Acater was left alone in the hallway.

Standing still, Arcater was silent for a long, long time.

He tried to raise his hand and knock on the door several times, but finally let it go.

Finally, he hesitated and hesitated, but finally turned around and walked in the direction that Claire had just left.

……

In the room, Leo sat cross-legged on a cushion, his mind uneasy.

Just now, he didn't ask Acater what the consequences would be if the effect of the secret method disappeared after a month.

There are many things that you don't have to ask, you can know them.

He's more empathetic.

While he was still in the Blue Star, the Archbishop of Dark Moon threatened his sister Li Fei's life and forced him to enter a special space. And at this moment, Acate is nothing more than the enemy has changed from the Archbishop of the Dark Moon to the Council of the Kingdom and even three generations of wind gods, and the conditions of coercion have become a mission that has been passed down by the family for hundreds of years.

Essentially, there isn't much of a difference.

At that time, he was the same as Acater now, powerless to resist.

Leo didn't have much of a sense of mission, but Acatel was different.

For the mission of the pilgrimage, even if Acatel knew that he was "dead and lifeless", he still firmly "chose".

Maybe for him, mission is more important than his own life, right?

Are those Heroic Spirits of the Knights of Lan Luo Yin who are sleeping in the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary also think the same way?

Leo didn't know.

"But, as a friend, how could I not help you in your most difficult moments?"

"It is because I have fallen into darkness that I understand better than anyone else the value of light and hope......

Leo raised his hand, and a special soul flame cluster of pure cyan was suspended in his palm.

"What's more, they also pinned their expectations on me......"

With a "bang", the [Heart of Oath] on the palm of his hand was crushed by Leo, and countless green flames flew out and flowed into his body.

[Absorbing [Heart of Oath] ......]
