Chapter 317 Seeing the Lion Cub and Reinhardt for the first time
Lugnica, the royal capital of the Qinlong Kingdom, has a population of over 300,000, and is one of the few metropolises on the continent.
As the political center and economic center of the kingdom, a variety of people filled the capital, making the city full of vigor and vitality. The turbulent crowds on the street made Elsa and Fania open their mouths.
Compared to the royal capital, the industrial city of Koszel that I visited before is nothing worth mentioning.
"It's great, it's great!" Fania excitedly spread her arms and looked up, she liked such a lively scene the most.
Elsa was more introverted and leaned towards Aomori, as if she was still a little uncomfortable with such a crowded situation.
"My lord, two ladies, the capital is very big, please be careful not to get lost." Thor reminded thoughtfully: "Many people get lost in the capital every day, including many locals."
"Don't worry, Uncle Thor, I won't get lost." Fania snorted softly, looking at the fruit stand on the street with great interest.
An assortment of strange and colorful fruits attracted her attention, but there were not so many types of fruits in the Holy Kingdom.
‘It’s you we’re worried about. ’ The three of them in Aomori all complained in their hearts.
But with Aomori around, the possibility of getting separated is very slim.
"Miss, would you like some delicious apples? It's super delicious!" A young man with green hair greeted Fania standing in front with a friendly face.
"Apple? Is it this red fruit?" Furnia pointed.
"That's right, if you don't try once in your life, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Okay, give me a taste first, if it tastes good, I will buy all of them!"
"No problem! Miss, please use it slowly."
Click!
Fania picked up an apple, took a big bite, and chewed the crisp flesh. The sweet juice flowed into her mouth, making her squint her eyes happily: "It's really delicious. Boss, give me all I'll wrap it up."
"okay!"
Soon, Aomori and the others were alone, eating apples while visiting this famous big city.
When Aomori's main body was playing leisurely, many dark avatars he arranged in advance had already gone to various places of interest to check.
First of all, the first place is the heavily guarded palace.
In order to avoid touching any warning devices and barriers, Aomori flashed directly into the palace. Fortunately, he did not encounter any arrangement that hindered this kind of space skills.
He swaggered around in the palace. His outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament made the palace guards think he was the son of some noble family, and they didn't connect him with the invaders at all.
Moreover, they didn't think that anyone would dare to break into the palace.
"Hehe, seeing is worth seeing. It seems that Lugnica Kingdom is really decayed." Aomori shook his head and walked into a courtyard.
The garden is full of flowers. Under the cool breeze, the twigs are swaying and the petals are flying, showing the beauty of nature.
Among this moving beauty, a little girl who looks a few years younger than Elsa appears in Aomori's field of vision.
She has a head of green hair that is tied into a high ponytail, her amber eyes are bright and moving, and she is wearing an obviously expensive light green dress. She stands upright like a soldier, with an awe-inspiring look.
"I am the daughter of Mekad Karsten, the head of the Karsten family, Kursh Karsten." She gently tugged at the hem of her skirt, saluted, and asked, "I wonder what your name is?"
"Please wait a moment." Aomori did not answer immediately, but looked up instead.
"?" When Kuro corrected his doubts, he suddenly sensed that the flow of the wind was not right, and then heard a panicked scream from above his head.
Suddenly raised his head and looked up, a shadow had already covered it.
"?!" She closed her eyes reflexively, and raised her arms to protect her head.
After waiting for two seconds, the expected impact did not come. Crusch opened his eyes suspiciously, and saw a boy about his own age floating in the air.
His face was facing her, so Crusch could see his face at a glance.
Bright blond hair, red eyes, and childish flushed cheeks, his petite body is wrapped in a very unsuitable gray cloak.
"His Royal Highness?" Crusch guessed his identity from his appearance, widened his eyes slightly, took two steps back, lowered his head and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Wow. First, can you put me down first?" The little boy called His Royal Highness turned his head in shame and asked, his face was so red that he was about to bleed.
"Of course no problem." Aomori chuckled, hooked his fingers, turned him back, and put him on the ground.
The little boy quickly patted his cheeks, tidied up his appearance, and after he calmed down, he coughed twice, and said like a little adult: "As you think, I am the fourth prince of this country, Fliergnica Just now I accidentally slipped and fell from the top, but fortunately, you two rescued me in time, I will remember this kindness."
"No, I didn't help at all." Crusch pointed at Aomori and said, "It's all thanks to this gentleman."
‘I know Crusch, but I haven’t heard much about the fourth prince. However, judging from the follow-up plot, the royal family of the Lugnica Kingdom will all encounter unexpected events in a few years. Otherwise, the king's election will be launched and the king will be chosen among the five girls. '
Thoughts turned around in my mind, and then I realized that there were many secret lines of sight betting on myself.
Aomori didn't care about this, he took off his top hat, bowed to the two children, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry about it, I just followed my own will and did what I thought I should do."
"However," Aomori turned a corner, causing the fourth prince, Frie, to close his mouth that was about to open: "In order to let people continue to die for you, Your Highness, I still have to accept your kindness."
"Well, is there a connection between the two?" Frie asked.
"If you don't get a reward for saving the prince, then the chance of getting a reward for doing other things for you will be even slimmer, which will severely discourage their enthusiasm." Crusch glanced at Aomori and said, "This is what your excellency wants to say But I have a different opinion, knights never serve the kingdom for rewards, but for their own glory."
"Well, there are not many knights who truly have a noble spirit and are worthy of our admiration." Aomori turned up his top hat and made it spin on his fingertips like a top.
"Well, what you both said makes sense. But no matter what, I will repay those who show kindness to me. This is the quality that a prince should have."
After finishing speaking, Frie glanced at Crusch secretly, then changed the subject and said, "Well, I accidentally heard it upstairs just now, you are the daughter of Duke Mercader?"
"Exactly!" Crusch replied solemnly, "Cursch Karsten, I have met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
"You are overrated."
‘This kid, isn’t he interested in Crusch? ’ Aomori, who was neglected, noticed something was wrong with Friel, ‘You want to reach the pinnacle of your life before you’re ten years old? young people now'
Smelling the breath of tragedy, Aomori shook his head secretly.
Fortunately, Frey was born in the royal family, so he didn't do anything to snub Aomori. He turned his head to Aomori and asked, "Have you thought about how I want to repay you?"
"Not yet, when I think it over, I will find His Highness myself." Aomori put on his polite clothes again, and said goodbye: "I still have something to do, so I won't continue to chat with you two. See you later."
After saying that, Aomori turned and left the courtyard.
"He really has an extraordinary temperament. I wonder what position he holds?" Seeing Aomori's disappearing figure, Friel sighed and said.
"Huh? I seem to have forgotten to ask his name just now?"
Cursch also reacted: "I seem to have forgotten too, it's strange."
She sensed something was wrong.
"Forget it, I'll ask him again when we meet next time." Frie looked back at the girl who was in deep thought, and suddenly realized that he was alone with her, and his heart beat violently disobediently.
‘Ah, it’s a strange feeling. '
"Please stop!"
The bodyguard responsible for secretly protecting the prince was about to call out to Aomori, but found that Aomori's figure was missing in front of his eyes.
"Hey, where are people?"
"No, what am I doing here"
After secretly hypnotizing the guards, Aomori continued to tour the palace swaggeringly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found a good place.
"The Royal Library? The collection of books in it should not be much worse than Roswaal's."
The Astrea family is a well-known existence in the Kingdom of Lugnica, also known as the "Sword Saint Family".
Since the first generation of swordsman Red Astrea more than 400 years ago, every generation in this family has one person who has the [Sword Saint Blessing] and can control the dragon sword [Red] Juggernaut.
However, in the battle against Moby Dick, one of the three major monsters, three years ago, the previous generation of sword master Theresia van Astrea was defeated and disappeared, and the glory of the sword master family was also cast a shadow.
At this time, another dark clone of Aomori came to visit the residence of the Juggernaut family.
Aomori, who is extraordinary at first glance, was respectfully invited into the mansion by the servants as a matter of course.
However, unexpectedly, it was a young boy who came out of the master's house to welcome the guests.
He has beautiful red hair, handsome appearance, clear eyes, wearing a small knight outfit, besides a dagger hanging around his waist, he also carries a very unusual looking long sword on his back.
"My name is Reinhardt Van Astrea, may I ask why you are visiting?"
Already mentally prepared, Aomori couldn't help but look carefully at the eight-year-old contemporary Juggernaut.
'It's a pity, a pity, I don't know what level his strength has reached now? If you can pull out the dragon sword, you should still be able to fight me. ’ Aomori’s eyes wandered to the sword behind him.
As one of the top ten famous swords in the world, the Dragon Sword is the most powerful sword. It has great power and self-awareness. It will choose whether to draw it or not.
Only when possessing [Sword Master Protection] and encountering a strong enemy at the same time, its owner can pull it out to meet the enemy.
It also has to take responsibility for the failure of the previous generation of Juggernaut.
Because during the battle, her [Sword Saint Protection] was transferred to Reinhardt's body, so she couldn't pull out the dragon sword.
Aomori's evaluation of it is - "both hypocritical and ruthless".
If he holds the dragon sword, he will definitely let it recognize who is the real master.
"It seems that you want to challenge me?" Reinhardt's intuition is amazing, and he read his intentions from Aomori's leakage, "If you don't have the slightest idea of challenging a child who is only eight years old If you have a grudge, I am willing to fulfill your wishes."
"If other people hear your words, they will feel ashamed more or less, but I am different from them." Aomori said with a smile: "I know how strong you are, age is nothing to you question."
Moreover, this avatar is not bullying a child when it faces him.
"Thank you for your attention." Reinhardt also smiled, and said as if facing an old friend: "Actually, there are still many inconveniences, such as the hands and feet are too short, and it is not comfortable to swing a sword."
"Really? Let me see how uncomfortable it is."
As soon as the words fell, Aomori swung his arm, and a dark blade appeared in his hand, cutting through the void between the two, and slashing towards Reinhardt.
Reinhardt smiled, and unhurriedly pulled out the dagger at his waist, but at this time Aomori's dark blade had already passed his body.
'The trajectory of the blade changed at the last moment, and it missed the hit. Is this the protection? ’ Aomori glanced at him thoughtfully.
"That's right, what worked just now was the [Initial Protection], the first attack couldn't hit me. One more thing, I also have [The Second Coming Protection], which can avoid the second attack."
Reinhardt held a dagger in his hand, made an inviting gesture, and said, "Let's go out to the training ground and compete. If I break all the furniture here, I will be very troubled."
"Yes." Aomori replied casually, feeling very speechless about the shameless protection on him, as if he was against the whole world.
The two of them went to the training ground one after the other, standing on both sides of the branch.
"By the way, it doesn't matter if you tell me all the contents of the protection?" Aomori asked.
"It's okay, anyway, you will know sooner or later, why don't I just say it directly, so as not to distract you during the battle." Reinhardt said with a smile.
"It's really upright, you deserve to be called the 'Knight of Knights'." Aomori's eyes were stabbed by the light shining on him, "Then, next, I'll test whether you are worthy of being a 'Juvenile Master' ' title."
"Oh, thanks a lot."
