Chapter XVII: The Shameful King

Morton opened the envelope, and the familiar handwriting came into view.

"Hail to my long-time friend, Morton the Swordmaster."

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you for so long, and I have transferred Prince Ai Xingyan to you when the situation has changed dramatically."

"It's worth mentioning that when you read this letter, I was no longer alive."

"My nephew Reddick has betrayed the Kingdom of the Silver Wings, he has planned a rebellion in the royal city, and has united the Kingdom of Hastan with other unknown forces."

"Unfortunately, I was not able to stop this traitor."

"But the flames of Star City haven't consumed everything, and we still have hope, friend."

"As Ai Xingyan's father, I hope you can keep him by your side and teach him literature and swordsmanship, so that one day when he returns to his hometown, he will also have the ability that everyone expects."

"Thank you, you will always be my best friend to the people of the Silverwing."

"Don't worry about me, I'll live well in another world."

"King of the Wings: Ethel."

A friendly smile tugged at the corner of Morton's mouth.

Although this sad news made me feel like I had been hit by a bolt from the blue... But...

He looked at the child on one side.

With this child's company, I will not be lonely in the rest of my life, thank you, Ethall...

At this moment, Ai Xingyan suddenly opened his eyes, which surprised everyone present.

The sky blue pupils are like only in myths and legends, and there are really people who would have such rare pupils!

They all came forward, but at the same time, Ai Xingyan suddenly spoke, which startled them all.

"Thank you, old man, where am I? What about the Wings of the Wind? Its back is as comfortable and warm as a quilt. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pegasus let out a chirp.

Morton touched the prince's head with delight.

"This is the Holy Pterodactyl Village, and from now on, it will be your home..."

Ai Xingyan raised his head and blinked ignorantly.

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace of the Silver Wing.

After meeting William and Pelorance, Reddick motioned for them to stay in the hall and wait, while he returned to his original living room.

Russell Heartbreaker has been waiting for a long time.

"Dare to ask my dear King Redick, can the 'Sword of Life Surge' be given to me to play with for a few days?" His voice seemed to be hypocritical and soft.

"Oh... I'm afraid not, because that's what we, the Silverwing royal family, have always passed down, the symbol of the king. Reddick replied firmly.

"I made you what you are, King of the Wings." The heartless one changed his words and began to pace back and forth freely.

"Unless you can prove that you are a king worthy of this sword."

Reddick looked solemnly at the Heartbreaker, who looked at him with a sly look.

In the next second, the Silverwing King angrily raised his sword on the table.

Looking closely, the scabbard is engraved with countless patterns of starry sky and sea, and in the sunlight, they shine like beating life, radiating pure energy.

And in the center of the hilt, there is a sparkling blue gemstone, some say that it is the source of life, gathering all the aura between heaven and earth.

Now it was held tightly in Reddick's hands, and its beautiful luster spread through the opulent palace.

Reddick frowned slightly, and suddenly exerted force.

With a burst of silver-white light flashing, the Sword of Life Surge finally revealed its true form.

It is white all over, and at the moment of unsheathing, the original picture of life appears in front of people's eyes in a trance.

Even the eyes of the heartless became slightly moist.

At the end of the sea, magical islands give birth to peaceful life, they run on the beach, the years pass by their side, the legends in their hearts are connected to dreams, and they yearn to break through the barriers of reality.

Whenever the blue sea laps on the monument of the hero, people's tears are like springs of water, and under the endless night, they believe that all life will eventually pour into the endless starry sky.

At that moment, all the voices became ethereal, and at the beginning of life, the pure and flawless smile of the Creator was once again present in their minds.

The sword light flashed, and the silver streamer floated, like a beating elf.

"Today, why is the legendary sword spirit: the stag missing?"

A faint sadness flashed between the brows of the heartless, as if the picture just now touched him slightly.

"That's because its owner is dead." Reddick said, "I'm going to guard it until it's gone." ”

"Well, keep it, it's a treasure of the Silver Wing, anyway." The Heartbreaker whispered, then turned away.

"Also, what's going on with Ai Xingyun?" Redick withdrew the holy sword, and Masasei said.

"Martha and Brutouille have disappeared, presumably with that guy." Said the Heartbreaker.

"What..."Redick was taken aback, but in a blink of an eye he returned to normal: "I guess he can't make any big waves." ”

At this moment, the attendant outside the door came in and spoke.

"Tell the king that the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, please prepare your majesty as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, in the hall of the celebration, William and Pelorance looked at each other.

The members of the Saint Wing Ambassadors were now sitting around, but the two of them could clearly feel the change here.

"Compared to when King Ethor ascended the throne twenty years ago, the number of visitors seems to be much smaller." William said.

"It is true that the prestige of the current king is not as high as that of the predecessor, but there seem to be many who do not agree with the new king's ideas and force field." Pelorance said.

"So, they were deliberately absent?" William said in surprise.

Despite this, the emissaries of the Holy Wing Empire and other nations still gathered in every corner of the celebration hall, and many elves could be seen faintly, these noble races from Isul were born diplomatic experts.

However, at this time, they noticed something unusual in the hall.

I saw many unidentified mysterious people dressed in sackcloth surrounding the hall, their expressions serious, and they could see that they were not ordinary messengers.

William turned away noncommittally, but Pelorance immediately alerted him.

"According to the regulations, no one other than the guards is allowed to wear weapons during the enthronement ceremony of the Silver Wing Kingdom."

Pelorance said solemnly.

"And look at them." He pointed to the burlap-clad men: "The tail of a sharp blade often peeks out of their waists, which is part of a dangerous weapon. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion looked around in astonishment.

The situation became dangerous in an instant...

"Sure enough, as you said, then in other words, this enthronement ceremony is indeed a little different from usual?"
