Chapter Seventy-Nine: Clearing the Monsters
"You're saying you're going to get rid of those volcanic monsters once and for all?" Geraint looked at Frem.
"Yes. Recently, the Imperial Knights have stopped all repression and are looking for something. I think this is a good opportunity for us to take back the Burning Fire Province. But before sending troops, we must first destroy these volcanic monsters before we can solve our worries. Frem said, "Knight Geraint, now that you're here, we've got another powerful boost. ”
"We Golden Dragon Knights have a deep friendship with the Aika family, and I will do my best wherever I am needed. "It's just that I was seriously wounded in that rebellion six years ago, and I'm not as strong as I used to be." Mr. Pine once told me that I had dark magic in my body, and that my fighting spirit was never restored to its former level. But he also told me that Lord Eliad, the god of the winds, the brother of the old lord of Ekka, was able to heal my wounds. ”
"Lord Iliad was a powerful figure in the last generation of our Eka family, and when he was the chief archmage of the kingdom of Lance, my children were not even born!" said Frem, "but since he has a way to heal your wounds, we might as well give it a try." It's just that he said the other day that he was going out to look for something, and it wasn't in Red Earth. ”
"Why, you say you've seen Master Pine?" suddenly a petite and lovely girl appeared in the mansion, "Teacher, he left us for Mallory a few years ago, and we lost contact. ”
"This is ......" Geraint looked at the little girl with long brown hair in front of her, her big blue eyes as clear as a lake.
"This is my youngest daughter, Betty. She must have been a baby when you saw her!Say hello to your Uncle Geraint, Betty!" Frem beckoned Betty to him.
"I didn't expect that a female doll that was only so big at the beginning has now grown into a slim girl!"
"Uncle Geraint, how is Mr. Pine, how is he doing? I miss him so much. Betty asked, sitting next to Frem.
"Mr. Pine had a great time on the island, and I will say hello to you if I have the chance. Geraint laughed.
"Hey, it's polite to be a girl from a big family, unlike some people......" Joshua smiled as he stared at Hernar.
"What do you say?" said Hernar, glaring at Joshua, "and I'm going to sew your mouth up." ”
"Oh, what a murderer!" Joshua pretended to tremble and grimaced at Hernar.
"Knight Geraint, who are these two children?" Frem noticed Joshua.
"Uh! This girl is the daughter of the Lord of Haig, Henar. As for Joshua, he was a child I rescued from Floating City during the rebellion six years ago. Geraint pointed at Joshua, hiding the truth for the time being.
"Hmph, Uncle Geraint, what happened to me six years ago, won't you tell me in front of so many people?" asked Joshua, pouting.
"Joshua, you have to be obedient! There are some things that you will understand. Geraint touched Joshua's head.
"Father, our army has finished training, and it's time to deal with those monsters. Brand said, "The area around the Scorching Rift and Coke Ridge is where the volcanic monsters are most concentrated, and we can take them all out in two ways." ”
"Haha, are we going to rid up those pesky monsters? I'm going too!" Betty shouted at Frem, pulling a wand from her bosom.
"Sister, these monsters are very dangerous, so don't come and join in the fun. Brand gave a look of horror to scare Betty.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid! Don't forget that I practice water-based magic, which can specifically restrain some fire-based magma monsters. Betty shook her head.
"Brand, you'd better let Betty go with us. I'm sure Barton will protect her. Frem looked at Betty's expectant eyes and spoke.
"Okay, but then you don't mess around and stay behind us, understand?" Brand glared at Betty, who gave him a grimace as well.
"Knight Geraint, can you lead the men and help us deal with the monsters on the other side of the Scorching Rift. And I'm in charge of solving the problem on the other side of Coke Ridge. Frem made a request to Geraint.
"We've worked together like this for years, and we'd love to serve you, Master Frem!" Gerante stroked his chest with one hand, "but we need a guide!"
"Guide, that's fine, I'll send Tim to show you the way when the time comes. Frem laughed.
"Who is Tim, Weishenme, I didn't see her when Lord Byron and I came here?" Gerante was curious about the name.
"Tim is also very young, but now she is the leader of our Eka family's dragon eagle force. She is a wind mage with a natural ability to converse with birds. People call her the Wind Whisperer. I think with her and her dragon eagle forces as support, you can easily deal with the monsters there. Frem said.
"And when are we leaving?"
"You just met today, and you have encountered a tsunami and experienced the test of the scorching mountain road along the way, so let's take a good rest here and set off in a few days. The Scorching Rift is relatively close to Red Earth, so you can leave two days later. Brand and I leave for Coke Ridge tomorrow. It's very close to Flamechase City, and once we've dealt with the monsters there, we can use it as a base for counterattacking Flamechase City. Frem explained his jihua.
"Does that mean I'll be able to leave with you tomorrow?" exclaimed Betty cheerfully.
"Yes, but you have to be obedient, kid. Frem smiled and touched Betty's head, "Ian, Red Clay Town is up to you." Although the Imperial Knights have now stopped their crackdown, we still need to keep an eye on their every move to ensure the safety of the place. ”
"Got it, Father!" Ian smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Gerant, let's get some food and go to rest, and the day after tomorrow we can go to the Rift Valley and fight those ugly monsters. Joshua laughed.
Late at night, Frem stayed alone in his room, studying the map of the volcano. Just then Gerant knocked on his door.
"Who's that, please come in!" called Frem.
"Mistress Frem, it's me!"
"It's you, Geraint, why don't you go to rest so late, you should be very tired after such a long journey. Frem looked up.
"Actually, I came to you on purpose to have something important to tell you. Geraint said solemnly.
"Tell me what I have to say at this time. ”
"Lord Frem, in fact, when we were talking in the hall today, there were many people and Joshua was there, so it was inconvenient for me to say a lot of things directly. Geraint said.
"Joshua, is that the kid next to you?" asked Frem.
"Yes, I can tell you who he really is right now, but I don't want Joshua himself to hear about it, so I picked this time. Gerante said.
"Hey, you're confusing me, who the hell is he? I remember you told us earlier that he was the kid you rescued from Floating City six years ago. Frem had a strange look on his face.
"You shouldn't be familiar with Joshua's name, right?" Geraint nodded, "He's our Prince." I rescued him from Parsa six years ago and have been living in seclusion on Mallory ever since. ”
"What, is this true?" said Freem, with a look of surprise, "about ...... Book...... Yes, that's right. That's what King Roy's son called!"
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Prince lost his memory in that rebellion six years ago, and I don't want him to be reminded of those sad things too soon. I hope you will help me keep this secret and when the time comes, I will announce Joshua's status as prince. We must help him reclaim the throne. ”
"The Goddess of Light is above, and I, the Fire Demon Frem Ekka, will swear allegiance to His Highness the Prince!" Frem swore in the direction of Floating City on one knee.
