Volume 1 - The Celestial Sect Chapter 14 - Keith and the fleeing lions
After a stressful night, tired Perth woke up for lunch and went to the study to write a letter.
Spreading out the thick parchment, Perth picked up a quill dipped in ink and began to sketch the sinuous text that is said to have evolved from the time of mythology in Hogworth.
Without telephones and faxes, he could only communicate with the most primitive letters.
Perth intends to write to the Earl of Philantrite, the Pearl-Led Baron on the coast, the Golden Knight of the Water Empire, and the Diamond Knight, the Diamond Knight, the Noble Baron of the ChΓ’teau of the South Mountain, George Fett.
Because as far as he knew, as a thunderbolt attribute earth knight, Count Fei Leng Cui had two tulip elves in his hands, and presumably Count Fei Leng Cui would be happy to assimilate his magic elves. Because different varieties of anthocyanins are absorbed and assimilated, which is very important for the accumulation of magic elf energy, it is related to the evolution and transformation of magic elves.
As for Kazan Leto and George Fett, one of them was the only lord of the Nanshan Earldom other than him, and the other was the "Commander of Naoli" who was in charge of the Knights of the Nanshan Castle. And as water-type knights, they would never refuse to come.
Therefore, whether it is an exchange of interests for each other, or for the purpose of obtaining greater political capital, this is a long-term and lucrative interest for Perth.
Don't think about how easy it is for a noble lord, after all, no one would want to share their own land freely, especially in a society that relies heavily on land farming.
Perth then summoned Ston and Nader, Keith and Chuck Sr., and Luca and Jack to the study.
When Nader Booker saw the letters drying on the table, and knew the reason and purpose of writing the letter to Perth, Nader first praised it poetically, and said, "The magic plant is a precious and magical plant, which is essential to the attraction of knights."
And the elves are the primary productive forces, I think you may be able to exchange something with the Earl through the absorption and assimilation of the flower coin this time. β
Obviously, although Nader's personality is not the same as his elegant appearance, his intelligence and ability are still worthy of recognition.
Perth nodded in agreement and said, "You are right, Mr. Nader, on the basis of building deals and friendships, I think I should more co-opt and enrich my political power, and I also need their help."
After all, sapphire tulips can only be grown here, and this is one of our specialties. β
This sentence undoubtedly shows that Perth wants to hold the exclusive right to produce sapphire tulips in its hands, and to manage its political position and power for this.
This made Nader look at Perth differently and said with relief: "Your wisdom has simply surprised me, and I am sincerely proud to be your former tutor!" β
"In that case, I think I might be able to invite some of the friendlier nobles, don't you think?" Perth then looked at a few people in the study and asked.
After all, whether it is the predecessor of Perth or the current Perth, the political situation of the county of Nanshan is not very clear.
When Keith heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Lord Baron, the military adjutant of the Earls of Nanshan, Gore Berg, he is my maternal grandmother's nephew, and perhaps you can invite him to attend."
When I first enrolled in Nanshan Knight Academy, it was Mrs. Naji who asked him to make a guarantee. β
Nader, who was in a personal accident, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Keith's words, "Knight Chief Keith, I didn't expect you to have such a prominent cousin, his wife is a noble lady of the Stuart family, that is a rich and powerful city-state marquis family, it is said that they are also relatives of the royal family!" β
"We're just distant cousins, sons of my maternal grandmother's cousin, and his wife is only the daughter of a side branch of the Stuart." Keith couldn't help but be a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze, and hurriedly explained.
Perth saw that Nader was going to continue to tease, so he hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Okay, Nader, there are not many guests in Tulip Castle."
After you have discussed it with Steward Ston and Old Chuck, you can give me the list. β
"We'd love to serve you, Lord Perth." The three of them were commanded.
Immediately, Perth folded the parchment on the table, and handed it to Keith with a wax seal with a tulip badge, and instructed, "Knight Chief, I need you to hand over the three letters to them with your own hands." Remember, it must be delivered to the recipient by hand. β
"My pleasure, Lord Perth." Keith took it with both hands and saluted on one knee.
.......
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Keith went to the stables of the castle to feed the alpine horses with their characteristic fodder, and to scrutinize the letters that Perth had given him, as well as his dry rations and flares.
Here, a stout boy comes carrying a barrel full of horse feed, and he is the servant of the castle - Tom Jetton, an orphan who followed Jack into exile to Tulips.
Seeing that it was Case, Tom quickly put down his shoulder and bowed to say hello, and Keys nodded back, "You're okay, Tom." β
As for why Keith was impressed by him, it was because Keith discovered the aura formed by the faintly converging energy around him, which was the precursor to the awakening of the fighting spirit in the knight's body.
Also, Keith learns that he is no more than a twelve-year-old.
As a civilian or even a refugee orphan who is about to awaken the seeds of vindictiveness at this age, it is already a very commendable talent. In particular, Tom is still a calm and down-to-earth child.
With that, Keith looked at Tom and got up and set off.
When Keith was gone, a fat man came out of nowhere and mocked, "You only deserve to do this kind of dirty work, maybe Lord Perth should let you clean up the on the street!" β
The fat man looked at Tom's indifferent appearance, and suddenly became angry, and raised his hand to push Tom to.
At this time, a beautiful and cute, blonde-haired Susan ran over, pretended to be vicious to the fat man, and threatened, "Thomas, you are bullying Tom again, be careful I tell my brother to let him punish you severely!" β
Despite Susan's vicious appearance, there is no deterrent effect. But who let Susan's mother be Mrs. Rowling in charge of the kitchen, so the fat man, Thomas, did not dare to provoke her, so he could only walk away in a huff.
After the fat man left, Susan turned to Tom and encouraged, "Trust me, Thomas, everyone will see your efforts." One day, you will definitely become a great knight! β
"Thank you, Shanna." Tom was too shy to look into Susan's eyes, bowed his head crampedly, and whispered.
After saying that, he hurried away as if he were running away.
After a while, Mrs. Rowling came over and complained to her daughter Shanna, "Why won't this stupid boy give me a chance at all, my daughter is so beautiful that she can't say a nice love word!" β
"Alright Mom, let's get to work!"
With that, he dragged Mrs. Rowling away.
Perth stood from a distance and watched the bullying among his servants, and he didn't bother because it wasn't necessary.
Originally, he wanted to give Keith a ride and give him a good advice on his straight temper, but who would have thought that Keith didn't see it, but he saw this scene.
I can't help but sigh, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
.........
The mountain scaly horses traveled thousands of miles in a day, and it was not long before Keith left the town and galloped into the forest.
In fact, it is more of a forest than a path between two low woodlands that separates the forest along the border of the hills, making it the only way to get in and out of Tulip Town.
There aren't many monsters and beasts in the winter forests, as most of them are hibernating.
There were only a few foraging monsters, but as a silver knight, he was not afraid of even ordinary monsters.
In addition, the demonic beasts with a strong sense of territory rarely go out, so this road is still relatively safe.
But it seems that the heavens always like to joke so much, and not long after he walked into the forest, as an experienced silver knight, Keith felt the breath of the monster.
I can't help but curse in my heart for being unlucky!
Clenching the big sword, Keith nervously watched the direction of the mixed spread of the demonic beast's aura and the smell of blood, and did not dare to slack off at all.
Because Warcraft that knows how to ambush and sneak attack is more difficult to deal with than Warcraft that is reckless and stupid.
Those monsters are the best hunters, and they will unleash the deadliest attacks the moment they notice that you are slackening, leaving you unguarded!
Just as Keith was putting on the illusion of leaving, the lurking demonic beast finally stopped holding back, and the tall figure with a metallic luster suddenly jumped out and slammed towards Keith!
And Keith, who had been guarded for a long time, opened his bow left and right, and blocked one with two big swords backhand!
"Sonorous!" With a bang, he blocked the sneak attack back.
I saw that the figure jumped not far away and looked at Keith fiercely, and at the same time, Keith saw the appearance of the monster clearly, with a golden mane and majestic, cold armor covering the back and limbs, like a heroic king - the golden lion with a steel spine!
But at this time, the male golden lion was covered in blood and his breath was scattered, and the original scars seemed to be more serious because of the attack just now, and the drops of blood kept falling down the steel armor.
The Steelridge Golden Lion also seemed to realize its weakness, and a low roar rippled.
Suddenly, with the sound of "bang-la-la" leaves, the two lionesses gasped and walked out, staring viciously at Keith, who was like a great enemy, and his eyes were full of defense.
Seeing that the situation was not good, even in the weak and embarrassed Steel-Ridged Golden Lion, it was also a three-headed third-order king demonic beast, and it was definitely not something that he could match as a silver knight!
I saw that he quickly and decisively took out the signal flare on his waist, pulled the detonating rope and threw it into the sky, hoping that someone in the town would be able to see it.
Immediately, he roared angrily, and the thick and surging cyan fighting spirit bloomed vigorously, and the fierce battle with the three-headed steel-spine golden lion became a mess!
