Chapter 1: Teenagers and Girls

The south wind is blowing, and the sky and the sea are green.

Summer slowly, outside the attic of the bluestone castle, the young man lies on the bamboo couch on his side, the maid guards stand quietly on both sides, from time to time add some wine, offer seasonal melons and fruits, the red silk curtain above everyone's head covers the entire attic viewing platform, but the surrounding is hung early, so as not to affect the young man's distant view, accidentally suffered.

"Young Master, the vanguard of the expeditionary fleet has arrived at Xifeng Harbor. The meticulous white blonde hair was combed back, and the dark black tuxedo gown on the body and the deep and distinct face were also a scourge when he was young.

"Huh? so fast. Old man, how many treasures did you say the expeditionary force brought back this time, did you catch one or two black-skinned elf queens?" the young man got up and walked down, stretched his waist, and patted the old butler, "I heard that the group of black-skinned Zhuoer in the south is very good in bed, and when the time comes, divide the two of you, don't say that I don't sympathize with you, young master." ”

The old man looked solemn, "Don't be afraid, young master, I, Herman Barrett, am also a little famous in the mountains of Guannade, and it is okay to wait for three or five people, young master can rest assured." ”

In the distance, seabirds fly on their wings, ships overlap each other, and sails stand in the air. A warship was circling the harbor to drive out the ships that had left the harbor, the canvas was depicted with a huge family crest, the thick round flame black edge wrapped around the fire-colored wild rose, the five-petal rose bloomed wantonly, and the surrounding stars were dotted, and the sails were dancing in the wind.

This rose was born 2,000 years ago when the elves were fighting civil wars and orcs were raging, and it was born on the eve of humanity's pursuit of a bright future. 1,700 years ago, she followed Emperor Valkyrie of Qiming to raise the banner of the first powerful kingdom of mankind, 1,500 years ago she also climbed the snow-covered Mount Freshen with Conor Richos Qiming of the Horn of the Sun to expel the orcs, and thousands of years ago she shed blood in the final war, and now she stands in the mountains of Guannard, multiplying and prospering.

The young man retracted his gaze from afar, glanced at the old man of the housekeeper worriedly, and said earnestly: "Old man, when you are old, you have to admit defeat, and you will not be ashamed." ”

The old man of the housekeeper thought about it carefully: "What the young master said is, then it is okay to change it to an idle person." ”

The young man looked at it for a while, and saw that the old man's face did not change, so he turned his head and shouted back: "Koloai, your father is looking for a little wife, I don't want you anymore." ”

The long-haired girl with light blonde hair in light armor had itchy teeth of hatred, glared at the yelling nasty ghost, and turned her head to ignore it. Koloai has always felt that her father and the annoyance of this annoyance are really wronged, her father is so upright and rigorous, heroic and fair, but he has to follow a young master who has not been upright since he was a child, and he has to be wronged like now, the more he thinks about the girl, the more annoyed he becomes, and he glared at him fiercely again.

The young man was also aggrieved when he saw this, thinking that Uncle I would be kind enough to worry about you, afraid that you would be bullied by your stepmother, I really don't know what to do, I should be called by my stepmother in the future, no, my stepmother and your father's family call every day. The boy wanted to stare back but didn't dare, but the little girl didn't take it lightly or heavily, she was beaten a lot before, she ran to her father to complain, but she was beaten by her father again, the reason was that she couldn't even beat a woman, and she lost the face of the dawn family. After being beaten many times when he was a child, the boy always thought that the old man of the housekeeper must have been a red dragon when he was young. Otherwise, how could Koloai have such strength, Almighty Timayat, please send down the divine punishment to purify the sinners who desecrate the dragon vein. While praying, he pointed his finger to the old butler, "Lady Timayat, please purify your sins!"

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind and waves are calm. The old man was a little puzzled and a little hesitant, "Lady Timayat will not answer the prayers of a child of the dawn. ”

The young master of the Dawn family withdrew his fingers expressionlessly, turned to face the sea, and was silent for a long time. The old man wanted to say that young master, you have no face to lose, but thinking about it, it hurt the heart of his young master, so he stood behind the young man, looked at the sea together, and stood silent. As for Koloai, she thought that she should use her heavy hands when she was going to practice swords, and she was sorry for her conscience.

In the distance, the sword wall goes straight out of the sea, with its back against the mountains, covering half of the sea, and the clear wave supports the skirt, as if the world is isolated. A silver-white bow suddenly appeared around the corner, and a string of horns sounded, desolate and strong, and then a burst of horn drums sounded one after another, as if the general waved his sword in front of the formation, and the knight charged. Whether it was the people on the castle, the guards and pedestrians in the hurry, or the sailors and guests on the boat, they all looked at the sound of the horn.

If one goes to the corner of the sword wall at this time, he will see the huge fleet that covers the sea in a line, marching on the sea, and the trumpets and drums are lined up like a wall. The sails cover the sky and the sun, and it seems that the wild roses of the Dawn House are layered on top of each other, up and down, as if an endless tide is crashing on the shore, turbulent and fearless.

When the mighty fleet sailed out of the sword wall and gradually appeared in front of people's eyes, it attracted bursts of cheers and amazements. Although the expeditionary fleet passed by Xifeng Harbor when it set out for the southern expedition half a year ago, the entire people of Stone Fort ran out to see the cannon giant ship, and at that time it was only a fleet of fleets passing one after another, so that the men, women and children of Stone Fort talked about it for more than a whole month, after all, behemoths are the most terrifying. This time, watching the entire ship group slowly gather in the harbor like a big whale walking, the silver-white giant beast that almost filled the line of sight made people dumbfounded. The noise was gone, and only the oppressive sound of the ship cutting through the water echoed in the wind.

"Didn't you say that there are only strikers, old man? What is this? And do I have a grudge against Dominique Big Berg? The boy touched his face and rubbed his hands together. Looking at the fleet outside the port, his eyebrows tightened slightly, Dominique won't be rebelled by the elves when he goes to the south this time!

The old man looked at Dominic's expeditionary fleet and exclaimed, "Young master, you really have a grudge against our vice admiral. ”

The young man thought about it carefully, and his distant brows furrowed more and more, "No, Dominic, I remember that he doesn't have a daughter?

"Mm-hmm, I heard he has an apprentice, a woman!" Koloai also leaned against the wall at some point, glanced at the boy, and curled the corners of her mouth gloatingly.

The young man rolled his eyes back: "Koloai, is this how the maid talks to my lord, I'm going to sell you to the orc chief of the Iron Forest in the east." ”

"Evan Dawn! I, Koloe Barrett, will be the one who will become the Great Sword Saint in the future! The girl was a little furious, and stabbed Evan with her sword. Ai Wen instantly covered his side waist and grinned, "Koloai, you are a violent woman, a dwarf winter melon that has not grown tall in your life, I have never heard of a sword saint who is not as tall as your own sword, even if you become a sword saint in the future, you will be a dwarf sword master." ”

Koloai directly raised his sword to smash this time, but Ai Wen jumped back and hid behind the old man, and continued to provoke: "Don't be angry, although you are not as tall as a sword, we can make do with high-heeled boots!"

Koloai looked at the nasty ghost hiding behind her father, then at the high-heeled boots on her feet, put away her long sword, and took a long breath, "Father, I want to go back first and prepare for the kendo class in the afternoon." The old man of the housekeeper glanced at the young master with pity, and nodded with a smile: "Go ahead." Koloe squinted at Evan as well, smiled, and turned to walk down.

"Hey, old man, I'm not going to be killed. "Evan was laughed at by Chloe and got goosebumps all over his body, just now Kloe really looked like the second sister, and every time the second sister squinted and smiled, it was the shadow of Aven's childhood.

When the six-year-old Koloai and her father arrived in Dawn City, Evan managed to get rid of the nickname of the dwarf, and after that, Ewen would happily run to Koloai's house every day to call her a dwarf, and then go back with a blue nose and swollen face.

In fact, the girl is not short now, and when she carries the giant sword, she is only a head shorter than the sword. It is rumored that the sword of the giant was originally held by the warrior Bao Er of the giant clan, the sword is two meters long, ten fingers wide, and there are thunderstorms when the sword is swung, and it is invincible on the battlefield. Aven had always thought that Koloai's Giant Sword was fake, long enough, but only three fingers wide, obviously different from the rumored greatsword. Ai Wen secretly watched Koloai practice the sword and didn't see that she could control the thunder, so Ai Wen privately called the sword stupid giantess, because the young man felt that the women of the giant clan should also be slender, just like Koloai's sword, as for why the long sword couldn't cause thunder, Ai Wen thought that it was malnutrition caused by deliberately pursuing a slender body like those maids, so the poor giantess sword got another stupid word.

Why isn't it that Koloai has no talent? How is it possible! Ai Wen has been practicing swords since he was nine years old, and he has been doing it every day, and as a result, after Koloai has also started to practice swords at the age of nine, except for the first three years, the rest of the time has been pressed and beaten, which once hit Aven hard. He was a year older than her, and he was much taller, so if she was stupid in practicing swords, then Ai Wen would be a kendo moth, and it was impossible for Ai Wen to admit that he was a worm, so how could Koloe be stupid?

Evan watched as the girl descended the stairs like a wicker. Koloai, the ancient spring graceful, eighteen-year-old Koloai, is the first time of the spring rain, and it is quiet.

"What do you say, old man?" Seeing the girl go away, Aven looked at the harbor again.

The old man rubbed his head, "Young Master, half a month ago, the Duke sent a letter of order, asking for the construction of a new fortress along the stone fort and the port of Xifeng, the new city is built near the sea, and it is necessary to control the sea area of Xifeng Bay and the Guannard Mountains at the same time, and the garrison navy of the new fortress will be selected from Dominica's expeditionary force. ”

Ai Wen looked a little surprised, "Isn't it just a small fleet, as for being so stingy?"

The old man spread his hands and said: Didn't the young master send a letter asking for money and people a few days ago? Ahem, the messenger has just returned, and the Duke said that General Dominic has brought the money and people to repair the fortress. ”

Evan understood, "Dominica? ”

"As for the workers, I heard that the expeditionary force has set aside more than a dozen large ships to hold prisoners. At the same time, the letter also said that General Dominic would leave nearly half of the fleet in the new fortress, not a small fleet. ”

Evan twitched the corners of his mouth, the hatred was too big. "If I were Dominic, I'd have blown up this broken stone castle. After a hard expedition, he didn't get anything, but instead put most of the navy into it. Go, I will personally go and greet our great rich man and great good man. ”

On the main battleship of the Warm Wind, Dominic, with black hair and a solemn face, stood on the bow of the ship and watched the harbor from afar, flanked by two naval officers, one in white armor and one in red armor.

Located on the southern frontier of the Corona Empire, the Duchy of Dawn has been fighting against the dark elves of the Dark Peninsula for centuries. The struggle for control of the Guannad Mountains, which separates the Dark Peninsula and the Atrium Continent, has left both sides dead and wounded, paving the way for bones. For two hundred years, the Duke of Dawn has not wanted to attack the Holy City of Drow and eliminate the Black Skin Drow once and for all. For this reason, there were thirteen major battles and three hundred and seventy-seven small battles. Seven of them crossed the White Rose River to attack the Drow Elves' hinterland, and three times entered the dungeon, all of which fell short. Beneath the Guannard Mountains is the Eternal Rainforest, which stretches through the eastern and northern parts of the peninsula, and is densely filled with swamps, miasma, and exotic beasts. Ever since the Drow lost the battle for supremacy on the continent and retreated into the Dark Peninsula, the Eternal Rainforest has served as a barrier against enemies for the Drow Elves. In several wars, the harsh rainforest climate was always the last straw that crushed the Dawn army, and when the front side fought to the death with the drow guarding the holy land in the dungeon, the rear supply lines were abused in the rainforest, miasma, poisonous insects, diseases, and Drow rangers were constantly harassed, and the pressure of logistics made it difficult for the Dawn army to fight for a long time in the dungeon, and the dim environment of the dungeon made the underground war forced to enter a long period of attrition. Three attempts to enter the dungeon were to no avail, forcing Commander Dawn to abandon the idea of razing the drow in favor of a long-term attrition and plunder of the drow from the sea.

"General, the fleet has been assembled, and the supply ships have entered the port of Xifeng for replenishment. After receiving the news, the tall woman in red armor turned around and reported, "In addition, someone has come from the shore, saying that Evan Dawn will come to meet the general later. ”

Next to him, a male major in white armor and silver-rimmed glasses interjected in a whisper. "Sister, you shouldn't call the duke's eldest son by his full name, it's not good. ”

The tall woman furrowed her good-looking sword eyebrows, stared at Major Baijia and said, "Major Adair, now in the army, there are no brothers and sisters, why can't you, a nineteen-year-old boy, how do you want me to call him?"

Adair was a little apprehensive, but still stubbornly said: "Yes, Colonel Fiona, but Lord Aven is the bloodline of the Dawn family, the eldest son of Lord Adonis, and the eldest son of the Duke was born as an earl. ”

Fiona pressed the long sword at her waist down, "So what, unlike Second Miss, His Excellency Cassiopia is much better than her idle brother, she is a qualified Earl of Dawn." ”

Adair was stunned and speechless, it was not for nothing that a woman attacked the lord, not to mention the second daughter of the Dawn family, who had been named an earl.

Adonis, Duke of Dawn, had five children, the eldest daughter Cecilia, the second daughter Cassiopia, the eldest son Aven, the second son Arrin, and the youngest daughter Silo.

Cassio Pia Dawn is second in line, and she has been gifted since she was a child, and she is a big mountain that weighs on the heads of her sisters and brothers. The teachers who taught her were full of praise and said that she would definitely be a sage in the future. The Great Magician of the Seven Rings, who is even more certain on the way to magic, may be able to go up one or two floors in the future and see the scenery of the legendary realm. The Duke of Dawn also said that if Cassio Pia was a man, Dawn would be free for a hundred years. When Casio Pia was eighteen years old and came of age, the Duke of Dawn still ignored the criticism, and even ignored the accountability of the Corona Emperor, and canonized her as the Earl of Platinum Palace, and since then, the people who worship the second lady of the Dawn family can line up from the sea of storms to the sea of nightmares in the west, especially for the girls, the second miss is the existence of the light of the dawn, and the daughter of the dawn leader is not half a point behind the man of the dawn leader.

And our young master Ai Wen is not good at martial arts, and he has no talent for magic. In fact, Ai Wen also had a good appearance in martial arts at first, three mirrors in three years, but who knew that after reaching the Qi and Blood Mirror, he could not break the mirror, and he could not release his martial energy, which made the entire Dawn Leader people disappointed.

The Dawn Leader needs an heir to the eldest son of 300,000 households, and Ai Wen, as the eldest son, was born with the expectations of the 300,000 households of the Dawn Leader, but he couldn't learn the language, and he practiced swords for ten years, but he stopped forging three mirrors. When you are burdened with everyone's expectations, but you are unable to move forward, then how enthusiastic the expectations are, how strong the resentment is. Qianfu pointed out, and did not dare to cross his eyebrows.

The old man of the housekeeper looked at the young master who had changed into a military uniform in front of him, and felt a rare quietness. The young master likes this body, and he likes it very much. With a height of 1.8 meters, it seems that the armor fits quite well, with red scale armor and black flame stripes. The cuirass carved with the wild rose was tightly bound to the thighs, and the neck guard was erected diagonally upwards, connecting the shoulder pads and arm guards on both sides. The calf-length side armor of the skirt covered the upper part of the riding boots, and the one-handed officer's rapier at his waist was held in one hand, a standard set of Dawn officer-style armor. Only the two long-handled swords pinned to the back of the waist are neither as curved as the riding swords of the knights, nor as straight as the long swords of the shield swordsmen, which looks a little awkward in the eyes of the traditional sergeants.

The two swords were taught by the young master's teacher, one sword is one meter two long, the handle is forty centimeters long, and the whole body is nearly one meter six long. The other is only one meter two in length, with a body of ninety centimeters and a hilt of thirty centimeters. Both have slender blades, resembling seedlings, and are similar to straight blades, but have arcs. The blade is one-sided, and it is not so much a sword as a straight-edged knife with a small arc. Such a strange sword doesn't know where the drunken sage came from, I haven't heard of where there is such a style of sword in the Atrium Continent, elegant and deadly. Ai Wen likes these two swords very much, and he has always kept the swords in his body, and rarely puts them in the space magic weapon.

When Ai Wen was seventeen years old, the greedy sage once gave Ai Wen a sword after getting drunk, saying that he couldn't cure your problem, so he could only give you two swords, and my reputation was about to be ruined by your boy. Although he woke up the next day and felt very distressed, he didn't regret it, but carefully instructed Ai Wen, two swords, one east and west, and one north and south. It is long from east to west and short from north to south.

Ai Wen took two steps, then retreated, touched the 'thing' and thought about it, removed the standard long sword at his waist, and then hung the 'thing' on his waist, pinned the 'north and south' to the back, turned around in front of the mirror and asked, "Old man, young master, am I handsome?"

The old man housekeeper looked at it, nodded and said sincerely: "I have been traveling from south to north for so many years, and I have never seen a young man more handsome than the young master." Ai Wen was about to say that the old man's eyes were like torches, but he heard the old man say cheekily, "This body has seven or eight points of my brilliance back then." ”

Ai Wen suddenly laughed angrily: "Get out." ”

Dawn's house has black hair and black eyes.

Evan Dawn, a boy and a woman, with eyebrows like distant mountains.
