PS: Thank you for the encouragement of the cheap cat pass!From today, "Banner of Glory" will be updated at half past seven in the evening, so stay tuned!

"When the earth shakes, the lives are devastated, and the shadow of death fills the sky, the entire shijie will step into an endless abyss. The sins of the past will be punished, the glory of the past will be dimmed, the order of the past will collapse, and chaos and despair will accompany the souls of all!"

With his head bowed, Malcius held his staff aloft in his hand, muttering words in his mouth, taking every step like a saint. Alpha and Elena stopped at the doorway, watching the old man walk into the halls of Haringos Castle.

All the knights and magnates looked at him, and an indescribable chant rose from the bottom of his heart, as if it were the dawn rising over the plains and seas.

Theodore looked at the old man in astonishment, and the magic liliang also infected him. There are many things that people can't calm down by willpower alone - the heart beating rapidly in times of tension, the body trembling when hearing the roar of the tiger, that is the liliang that goes straight to the soul!

Is this magic? Or is this the Radiant Cross? Theodore pondered, but had to admit that the old man did have a powerful infectious energy - a lot of good music also had such a liliang, but compared to the current momentum of Malcius, it was not at all an order of magnitude.

"The oath is forgotten, the strong heart fades in comfort, and under the liliang of destruction, the fear will not end, and the vengeance of anger will bring fear to all. The old man did not stop, his voice getting quieter and quieter. But everyone felt that it had become louder: "The glorious Liliang will be reproduced in the north, and the opportunity for its rise will be born here." The eagle soaring in the sky brings everyone the courage to win, and the impregnable iron wall comes from the unity of Liliang. ”

"The Emperor of People. Will be reborn in the North!" The voice gradually stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With a broad smile, Maltheus took off his hood and saluted everyone around him: "Under Malcius, an ordinary wizard, brings the hope of the north here!"

"You mean that the Radiant Cross is in your hands right now?" Lord Charles of the Kwyn River couldn't help but stand up and preemptively ask, "Is this true?!"

"Oh, how could such a precious divine sword be in my hands?" Malcius smiled, "I just kept it to this day by the will of His Highness the Emperor Aragon." ”

"What?!" the old man's words caused an uproar. Terenus stepped forward and asked, "Your Excellency the Wizard, are you trying to say that you have lived for hundreds of years?!"

"Lies!" Lord Charles shouted, looking at Maltheus righteously: "This is definitely a lie, this old madman is completely trying to cheat money!"

"Let me expose you, poor old fellow. Lord Charles sneered: "Let's talk about how much benefit that Noldor Elf has given you." So you risk your head to come here to deceive us?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a descendant of the Charles family, right?" said Malcius, unhurried, standing up straight with his cane. Smiling and reaching out to stop Yelena, who had already pulled out the short bow, "Am I right?"

"That's right, I'm the current lord of House Charles. Lord Charles patted the silver pin on his chest: "The Trident coat of arms of the Charles family is here, my ancestors used to hold it and fight for the second emperor of the empire, Bixia." rescued the prince who fell off the war horse and got the title of knight!"

After Lord Charles said this, the knights present immediately stood in awe. Even Salald put on a rather reverent face. Although he is not the ancestor of his family, he has a lot of admiration for heroes.

"If only Sarah Charles had heard that. You can definitely laugh out loud. Maltheus smiled, "It's not a trident, it's a pitchfork." When he joined the army, he couldn't afford such expensive weapons. ”

"Sara was able to get the surname Charles. It was because of his noble deeds and courageous dedication that Emperor Bixia understood one thing, a small farmer can have a heart as strong as a knight!" Malcius groaned and said: "The surname Charles contains the meaning of a noble heart, not because Sara holds a fine blade like a trident. ”

"Do you know my ancestors?!" Lord Charles asked incredulously, "This is impossible!"

"I was fortunate enough to meet him, and although he hated a guy like me, who only knew what to know in books and couldn't even use a sword, he was able to sit in a high position. Maltheus smiled helplessly: "He even refused the ceremony that Bixia had prepared for him in the palace and chose to accept the canonization on the battlefield." ”

"Our ancestors taught us to always be faithful and never forget kindness. Lord Charles bowed his head: "Salute you, Your Excellency Maltheus!"

"I once served the Emperor of Aragon, so I was given the noble and solemn mission of protecting the Holy Sword. Malcius turned his head and looked at the adults present, "And now, it's time for the Holy Sword to appear again!"

"The person who draws the holy sword is the new human emperor, and this person will inherit the same mission as Aragorn, defend the human shijie, defend the fire of civilization, and regain the glory of the past!"

As he spoke, Malcius lifted his cloak, took out a long sword from under his waist with both hands, raised his hands above his head, and looked solemn: "With faith as the handle, gathering stars as the blade, and the shining light soothes the earth, this sword is only held in the hands of the human emperor!"

It was a cross-shaped knight's sword, unpretentious with a hilt made of some kind of metal, as bright as crystal, but not fancy. At the top of the grip is a fan-shaped seal with the coat of arms of a star.

The sword was hidden in an ordinary black scabbard, and the blade of the legendary starlight was completely hidden.

"Holy Sword!" it's the Radiant Cross!" Terenus fell to one knee almost reflexively, his head bowed, motionless. Then there were Helena and Bran Elfwan, and Salald and Aaron............ One northern lord after another fell to his knees, even Elendil.

Holy Sword. What does it mean? It is faith, it is longing. The myth of defeat is undefeated! Every knight once pursued, and the Holy Sword Radiant Cross is the god in their hearts!

Only Theodore remained where he was. Looking at Malcius with gentle eyes to himself, "Now, then, will you bow down under the majesty of this glorious cross? Caesar of Rome." ”

Theodore smiled, knowing that there were many pairs of eyes looking at him now. If you kneel, it means that Rome also believes in the Radiant Cross, and if you don't kneel, you are tantamount to breaking with them completely.

But this was by no means the intention of Malcius, and the old man hoped that Rome would fight alongside the Pande. Theodore thought so, curling the corners of his mouth slightly, he already knew what kind of answer the old man wanted.

"I will not bow down to the Radiant Cross. Theodore smiled and said, "But." I will bow down to the man who holds the Radiant Cross, and the gods of Rome will surely bless him!"

"Then the Radiant Cross will bless you. Malthews let out a sigh of relief, the problems he had been worrying about could be put aside. Whether Theodore Julian would become emperor or not, Rome would be a part of the new empire of the future, even a very important part.

"According to the Emperor's last words, all the knight chieftains will be given the right to draw their swords - before the end of sunset. Maltheus raised his sword and said, "Then, please get ready!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

............ Ah, that was the story of my youth, when wizards had not yet declined. The liliang of the gods blesses this shijie, and the Noldor elves of the Forest of Silence control the order of everything.

And I, Malcius, am just a little wizard apprentice. Learn from my mentor, an older druid of the Lagrange family. At that time, Elena and I were studying magic patterns together. She was so beautiful and delicate that I was obsessed. even delayed his studies because of this, so that he was kicked out of the Shenmu Forest by his teacher. I decided to travel to the human city-state. Find your own future and explore the human shijie that you have never been in contact with.

Kind, welcoming, kind and hardworking. This is what I know about my fellow man—I have learned from books, and through all the hardships I have made in the thorny, desolate, and dangerous north to the southern plains where mankind lives, and Isos, a city-state that was one of the best at the time, ruled by the Pendragon family, and whose banner of the red dragon hung high above the towers.

What is despair? I experienced it for the first time when I arrived in my hometown. When I told the gate guards that I was a wizard, the disgust and fear that came from the bottom of my heart were deeply expressed on their faces, and when this identity became known to the people of the city, I became almost the least welcome person in the city.

The Pendragon family welcomed me warmly, but I am more convinced that they were merely trying to please me, and made me ignore the coldness of the people of Issos - how pathetic!

The children of Pendragon and I dine together, which is the Isotian way of expressing friendship. But the children, who were innocent and didn't know how to hide it, looked horrified, as if they were enjoying food with a man-eating beast.

What could be more desperate than being feared, ostracized, and deeply disgusted by one's own fellow man?

There was only one little girl—ah, her name was Artoria, and I still remember it. She was the only one who sat next to me without fear, gulping down the soup like a boy. But that wary look led me to believe that she was not acting out of kindness to me, but out of protection of her sisters and brothers.

The Noldor elves rule over humanity as if they were gods, believing that humanity is still in a savage age and needs the utmost care. Wizards are the ones they are going to do, and anything that goes against them will undoubtedly be harshly attacked by the Noldor Elves!

I found it incredulous, what the hell is this weishenme? There are hundreds of wizards in human shijie, maybe more. They must all know the current situation of human shijie, and they all became wizards to improve the lives of humans, so what happened to all this?

I don't understand, and I don't want to believe it, but I insist that humans are the kindest and hardest race on this shijie, and are good at learning from other races. Humanity has a bright future, but only if it is transformed.

Yes, I firmly believed that the time for change had arrived.

It was at that time that Yujian Aragorn -- hehe, a nervous ranger, a little bohemian, full of the madness of a young man, I asked him what his dreams were, and I remember him answering so.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm going to be a man who is the emperor of people, and when the time comes, build a big palace and put all the beauties in it!" (To be continued......)
