Chapter 2, Heroes
Surrounding the magic wolf, there are four elemental magic spirits, each symbolizing one of the four elemental magics. They stand guard like four warriors, ready to eliminate all formidable foes before them
Each royal knight was surrounded by two or three holy knights as they mounted their steeds. Enleiko was carefully steadied on the horse's back by two holy knights, while another two holy knights led the warhorse in front.
Fortunately, Enleco now holds the status of a hero; otherwise, the princess would undoubtedly resort to extrajudicial measures to obtain a satisfactory answer. However, even without employing violent means, the princess's persistence is still something that Enleco finds difficult to endure
The clouds that were originally floating quietly in the sky were suddenly torn into fragments as if plowed through by a massive iron plow
However, since he serves the God of Wisdom, and the royal family of the Ka'oqi Kingdom also worships the God of Wisdom, he assumes the position of High Priest, a role that is typically reserved for clergy. As a magician, this is indeed a rather peculiar situation
This matter, on the contrary, has endeared the mages of the Kingdom of Ka'oqi to Enleke. From the Grand Sorcerer Kobiriao to the various court mages of all ranks, they all regard Enleke as a brother and engage in equal camaraderie.
However, not only did Kate say this, but even the members of Jack's team all said the same, which compelled Enleike to believe that everything they said was true
Upon witnessing such a scene, several royal knights felt that the hardships and dangers they had endured over the past few days had received the best reward
Just when Enlaike thought it was impossible for him to know the reason, the prince beside him leaned in and whispered in his ear: "Enlaike, my sister is afraid that you might embarrass yourself again in diplomatic occasions like last time. Therefore, she has arranged for you to undergo special training from the royal court. This training is designed for princesses who need to marry into foreign countries, enabling them to quickly master the etiquette and customs of a different nation. This training is called Court Bride Wedding Etiquette Training"
If it were not for the sight of the princess in such a dazed state, making everyone understand that this must be true, many wizards would undoubtedly disregard diplomatic etiquette and immediately question the princess.
And now, Kobe Li Ao actually says that someone has broken his magic, which is simply unimaginable
He slowly stood up and found himself amidst a pile of rubble. He called each of his companions awake, but no matter how he called out, Enleike remained unresponsive.
Then, she turned around and instructed the guards behind her: "Quickly prepare Mr. Enleike for his journey"
The second among the three heroes is the renowned archer known as the Demon Hunter. Unfortunately, his archery skills have been completely lost to time. In his prime, this hero was the one who eliminated the greatest number of imperial sorcerers among the twelve heroes.
Although Kate also holds a noble status, the education he received is far from comparable to that of royal education. Like ordinary commoners, he was prohibited from learning about the deeds of heroes from other countries since childhood. Now that he has heard about these matters he has always wanted to understand, how could he not delve deeply to clarify everything?
Since just now, he sensed a powerful and concentrated magical energy that pierced through the large gathering of fire elements in the air, causing the fire elements to become uncontrollably and abnormally active
Looking at Enlaike's splendid attire and his transformed noble demeanor, many people's eyes revealed expressions of envy
Even if they are ten miles away from there, they will still be struck by smaller stones
"Honorable Sir Knight, allow me to serve you and escort you. Our nation's Chief Magician, Mr. Kobe Leo, requests your presence," said the holy knight
It seems that the creature is not as useless as Chris described. When I have some free time, it is necessary to find a way to summon that creature and clarify things. Additionally, it would be best to learn that spear magic. After all, it is a magic that can counter forbidden spells
As for Kate, Bertina, Jerry, and Jack, whenever I go to find them, they will surely claim to have urgent matters to attend to. Then they will immediately disappear without a trace
... ...
Moreover, in accordance with everything Jack said, all the members of Jack's team nodded in unison, attesting to the reliability of this response
Sigh, the Victory Day celebration has arrived again, I really miss the days of my childhood. The happiest ones during the Victory Day celebration are the children. Enleike, you are not yet over sixteen, right? Don't forget that in a few days, you must perform a program.
Moreover, this feeling not only comes from a positive direction, but also seems to be omnipresent, as if a pair of divine eyes in heaven were observing this world.
However, no matter how much they interrogated, they could not find an answer from Enleco. Moreover, Enleco's inability to use magic left all the high-level magicians perplexed
At that moment, Kate and Jerry, who were deeply immersed in their efforts to recall, were equally startled by Enleko's peculiar behavior. They saw Enleko facing them, gesturing towards the relief with his hands, hopping about. Although his actions were amusing, it was clear that Enleko wanted to draw their attention to something.
Of course, among these people, the princess was the only one to be excluded. At that moment, the princess wished she could step forward and kick Enlaike to death. She thought about how hard she had worked to train this guy to finally resemble something, only to find that at the last moment, he had embarrassed her so greatly. This was truly a disgrace.
At this moment, two squads of the Sacred Knights of the Kaqiq Kingdom could be seen approaching from a distance
The princess stayed by Enleiko's side for almost twenty-four hours
At the end, His Highness the Prince added, "Enleike, you are quite fortunate to be the first gentleman to complete the court's bridal wedding ceremony training. You will thus be recorded in history, and I envy you greatly"
Moreover, having listened to Jack and the others' descriptions, the thick black smoke, the black long spear, and that hand resembling a beast's claw, all of these bear a striking resemblance to the creature Most from the demon realm
The beautiful princess unexpectedly shed tears for them, and in their hearts, they silently vowed that in their lifetime, for the sake of the princess, they would brave fire and water without hesitation
In the end, he expressed his commitment to do everything possible to help Enleiko regain his memory and enable him to use magic once again
Hecorus III clearly noticed Enleco's doubts and led everyone to a relief, pointing at it and saying to Enleco: "Please look, this is the fourth founding hero of our nation—Beast Vantasi."
As three diplomats were racking their brains to devise a somewhat plausible explanation, a deep and steady voice resonated from the other end of the hall
Oh, Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. In your country, I find everything to be so beautiful. Here, I extend my heartfelt thanks for the warm hospitality I have received over these days. I also wish Your Majesty good health and the prosperity of the nation
He had long experienced the princess's temper; when this princess lost her temper, she was no less formidable than her aunt
At the forefront of the team, three individuals stand side by side
Before even entering, I saw the princess glaring at me in the picture book, scolding me: "Enleike, we have now arrived at Videske, and I hope you will no longer run around recklessly; you have your responsibilities."
After much effort, Hecoles III concluded his lengthy diplomatic formalities
Enleike has checked himself countless times, and he absolutely did not find any factors within himself that could provoke laughter
However, mastering this extraordinary skill did not significantly improve Enlaike's life.
In the eyes of the princess, this was truly both infuriating and vexing; two more unfortunate souls had been added to her list of etiquette training.
When he walked up to Enleiko, he took two steps back, looked Enleiko up and down twice, and then turned to the great mage Kobe Leo and asked, "Is this young man really a match for your forbidden spell?"
He turned his head and engaged in cordial conversations with each important member of the diplomatic delegation individually. He warmly greeted everyone first, with the exception of Enleiko
When the princess completed her ceremonial training with Enleiko, the delegation had also arrived at the capital of the Kaoqi Kingdom, Videske
The princess, who could not extract any information from Enleiko, did not easily let him go
When Jack realized that he was under the attack of the forbidden spell "Apocalypse," he understood that they were facing the great sorcerer Kobe Leo
From the grinning face of the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leon, it is evident that the situation is certainly not as simple as it appears
Enleike never thought that one day he would miss the days and nights spent in the Dream Forest Laboratory. Yet now, at times, he truly longs for that period, as he has now genuinely experienced the princess's methods.
However, Enleiko is quite unaccustomed to the fact that Holcors III always addresses the names of the heroes with honorifics
On this day, whenever at home, my father would always take a day off from work and take me to the woods for hunting and fishing, allowing us to enjoy a day of rest. In the evening, a grand bonfire party would be held in the town square, where all the children were required to participate in the Victory Day performance
A wizard of such great power
The red clouds rolling in the sky, carrying enormous bubbles, swirl into waves of vortices
This statement is not actually incorrect; however, for those who are not well-informed about the situation, the impact of this statement on them is no less shocking than the recent explosion
Qiao and the princess arrived beside Kobe Liao, where the twelve elite magic guardians were also present
If you still cannot remember, I will send someone to deliver a message to Aunt Chris. She will definitely be interested in the countermeasures against forbidden spells, and she has plenty of ways to help you recall what you need to remember
First, the joke he caused in the Sophiean Palace quickly spread, embellished, among the Holy Knights of the Kaolqi Kingdom, and soon even the wizards of the Kaolqi Kingdom were aware of it. Ultimately, it even reached the ears of the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo
Everyone, including the princess, was extremely puzzled by this, not knowing what would happen next
Fortunately, although he did not raise this question, there are still those who are quite interested in it. There is always an immense curiosity about everything related to heroes, and only Kate, as a scion of a noble knightly family, would dare to defy the princess's orders to ask questions.
It turns out to be an apprentice in training, and they have not yet completed the trial.
Perhaps it was the solemn and dignified atmosphere of the temple that gathered everyone's spirits together. Only after entering the temple did Enleike feel much more at ease
In a clockwise direction, His Majesty King Charles III personally led everyone to visit the exquisite sculptures. At each sculpture, His Majesty would enthusiastically explain the story depicted by the sculpture.
The high priest who stepped before the crowd gave Enleike a feeling of being completely seen through, as if everything had become transparent before the eyes of this great magician.
Enleike fixed his gaze on the old man, who leaned on a cane topped with a blue gemstone. The gnarled hands and the deeply wrinkled forehead of the elder indicated that he had traversed a long journey through life
"May I ask, what exactly has happened?" the princess inquired. Her astonishment momentarily caused her to forget the diplomatic etiquette she was supposed to strictly adhere to
As the smoke dissipated, everything finally settled down
Very well, very well. The princess resolved in her heart that upon returning, she would certainly give Enlaike an unforgettable high-intensity etiquette training.
In response to the actions of the Kaqiqi Kingdom, other nations have also taken a stand. Therefore, although Enlaike knows that there are a total of twelve heroes of Victory Day, he is only truly familiar with the two heroes from his own country (one of whom is an ancestor of Qiao)
After bidding farewell to the Grand Sorcerer, Enleco returned to the camp to meet Her Highness the Princess
"Oh, great heroes, first of all, I must apologize for my earlier actions. If any of you have needs in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to fulfill them within my capabilities," said the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo.
Enleike is the kind of person born in a small town, who hardly pays attention to others' surnames, let alone the honorifics for heroes, whose names are all long and difficult to pronounce. It is truly hard to understand and remember them
The princess clearly did not realize what she was saying
What is the training for the wedding ceremony of a court bride? Enlaike felt utterly perplexed.
However, Kobe Leo did not pay attention to these matters. He turned his head and said, "Just now, someone broke my forbidden spell, and now the magic is out of control"
Under the command of the Grand Sorcerer Kobir Leo, the team slowly made their way towards the mountain pass that was originally the Mecharus Fortress
While everyone was engaged in heated discussions, suddenly, a violent tremor shook the heavens and the earth, and the originally solid and stable ground began to leap like a frenzied galloping horse.
Only those magicians could be seen, some with pale faces, some with bluish faces, and one or two foaming at the mouth, collapsed on the ground
He never anticipated that in the end, he would not escape the tragic fate of being a super joke, and now it seems he may even become a timeless anecdote, passed down through the ages
At that moment, the great sorcerer Kobe Leo approached. He noticed Enleco observing the crowd that was busily preparing for the Victory Day celebration, so he walked over to Enleco and together they admired the bustling scene of those people.
At this moment, Enlaike gently extended his right arm and waved it upward. The spear in his hand was immediately hurled into the air
According to magical conventions, only spells of the same level can counteract spells of that level. Therefore, in order to break the Kobe Leo forbidden spell, it is also necessary to use another forbidden spell.
My heroes, you have worked hard! the princess said
In my hometown, the Victory Day celebrations last for a full three days. Although my father has to resume normal business from the second day onward, he allows himself to enjoy these three days to the fullest. Therefore, the Victory Day celebration has always been Enlaike's favorite festival
Almost every knight is eager to serve Enleike, as if being able to serve this magician has suddenly become such an honorable matter
I see now
To the knights under the red clouds, all of this appeared so strange and unpredictable. However, they did not feel that the danger had passed. On the contrary, from the waves of aura emanating from Enleike, they sensed that a true crisis was about to arrive
Certainly, in the following days, almost every Kaqiq person known to Enlaike would come to inquire in detail. As a result, during this period, Enlaike always had to find places to hide and evade.
The crowd quickly dismounted from their horses. Two royal knights stepped forward to assist Enleike down from the horse. Each took hold of Enleike and carried him away.
As the three young people who had been jumping around gradually calmed down, Hekols III asked, "What is described here is the story of the fourth hero, the demon beast Vantasi, using the super forbidden spell—'Heaven and Earth Shatter'—to annihilate all the magical armies of the magical empires. May I ask why you are all so surprised?"
Gradually approaching the temple, one can clearly see the twelve triumphal arches in front of it from a distance. This is the only symbol representing the twelve heroes of Victory Day.
Including the well-informed Qiao, the princess who knows the ins and outs, and the highly knowledgeable grand sorcerer Kobe Leo, all were left astonished and speechless by this response
Among all those present, only two individuals did not join in the mocking laughter: one was the princess, and the other was the old wizard Mardosh
Kobe Liao is universally recognized as the only forbidden spell magician in the world. How could another forbidden spell magician possibly emerge?
It is precisely for this reason that, although there is still half the distance to the capital of the Kingdom of Kaalqi, Videske, Enleiko has already mastered a new skill—disguise. This was entirely self-taught.
Jack could never have imagined that the two people on his left and right were actually the princess and Commander Joe
The journey was fraught with ups and downs, making it difficult to advance
That person is none other than His Highness the prince, who is wrapped up like a magnificent zongzi. His Highness the prince patted Enlaike's shoulder with deep sympathy
Every word she spoke struck a deep blow to the wizards of the Kingdom of Ka'aoqi surrounding her
Jack was clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation. He casually pointed to the Enleco being driven by the two knights behind him and said, "It is our Mr. Enleco who has protected us. Moreover, it was he who defeated those bandits and the attacks from those sorcerers along the way"
Regarding all of this, the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo ultimately provided such an explanation
Perhaps, in a state of hypnosis, you will be able to remember
Before they could walk over, the princess and her companions approached them. Closely following behind them was a group of wizards and monks
The tall wizard standing in the middle, without a doubt, is the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo
Every day, the princess must undergo etiquette training for as long as twenty hours. The training even includes napping and sleeping. The princess's playful younger brother, His Highness the prince, often joins in the fun.
"We must first go to pay our respects at the Temple of Victory, where His Majesty the Emperor will meet us," said the princess
It is evident that His Highness the Prince is quite afraid of his sister, as he immediately shrank behind Enleike. However, he is unaware that just moments ago, Enleike also wished to find a place to hide. Recently, he has nearly developed a conditioned reflex; as soon as the Princess glares, he immediately trembles all over
He looked up and down at Enlaike several times from head to toe, then turned to the princess and said: "I congratulate you, your training of this gentleman in the court bridal ceremony has been quite successful"
Yet, the trial has still not been completed
The third hero is the only female among the twelve heroes, known as Saint Lucia. She is the sole inheritor and user of the highest sacred magic for a thousand years, and also the first generation guardian of this sanctuary
"Quick, quick, all personnel evacuate Mecharus!" Kobe Leo immediately commanded as soon as he sensed something was amiss
Many times, Enleike often regarded the princess as Chris. In his eyes, the princess and Chris were merely different in appearance, while fundamentally they were completely the same.
This temple is entirely composed of a massive dome structure, with a floor area so vast that only Chris's laboratory can be compared to it
Upon hearing Kate's request, Hecoles III was not surprised, as every country adopts similar approaches to educational issues. The subjects of the Kingdom of Kaoci also have no understanding of the deeds of heroes from other nations
The long spear, like a bolt of black lightning, sliced through the vast sky and, in an instant, pierced the clouds
Of course, after Enleike woke up, he was inevitably subjected to inquiries from various parties
Do not forget, you are my royal private property, and your memories also belong to the royal family, so hurry and remember
Because only this great sorcerer in the world has the ability to wield such powerful forbidden magic.
After resting for a while, Jack commanded the knights to stand up and continue moving forward, as there should be no obstacles now; they must traverse the Qisila Valley
To be honest, Enlaike really cannot recall at all what he has done.
Due to the recent extensive etiquette training, Enleike's demeanor has undergone some changes. No one now would assume that Enleike is the son of a grocery store owner. On the contrary, those who have never met Enleike would certainly think he is a prince from some country
When he heard his glorious deeds from Kate, he could hardly believe they were talking about him. Moreover, what he found most unbearable was the almost hero-worshipping gaze that emanated from Kate's eyes.
Regarding the Grand Priest Mei Long, Enlai Ke is indeed renowned. Like the Mage Madoshi in their delegation, Mei Long is one of the only two divine emissaries in the entire world.
A group of people advances towards the Temple of Victory under the protection of the Holy Knights
In response, Enleiko felt quite embarrassed and continuously comforted Kobe Leo, stating that he could get used to the current situation
If one were to describe Enleike's current mood, it could only be characterized as disheartened and despondent
Many times, Enlaike privately wondered whether it was necessary to make ordinary dressing so complicated
Still an apprentice trainee
All individuals, treated like heroes, were welcomed into the official territory of the Kingdom of Kaogqi
Regarding the question of Helios III, Enleco and the others were unsure how to respond
Soon, all personnel evacuated from the Mecharus Fortress. According to the orders of Kobe Leo, all troops retreated to a position ten kilometers to the rear right of the Mecharus Fortress
Therefore, he nudged the obviously mentally unstable princess and pulled the slightly distracted grand sorcerer, saying: "It seems we should take a break first. Once everyone has recovered, we can properly inquire about what exactly happened. Your Highness should be able to see that we are equally unclear about this matter, and it is also necessary for us to understand what exactly transpired.
However, despite his repeated experiments, there was still no improvement
He only remembered the last words the princess said: "If you embarrass me again this time, hum..." As for what came after the hum, Enleike had absolutely no interest in knowing.
Glancing back at the companions behind, it is likely that their thoughts are similar as well
Certainly, the only one who can answer them is the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo
Everyone looked at the three oddly behaving individuals with great curiosity, then raised their heads to examine the relief, which indeed did not reveal anything particularly surprising.
You have this custom here as well, don't you? Enleike asked curiously
The entire fortress now looks like a construction site that has just begun to be built.
Unlike princesses, princes, and individuals like Qiao, who have received court education from a young age, are well-acquainted with the meanings of various honorifics and have studied systematic history, fully understanding all the details of the Victory Day battle (thus, Hekols III, who received the same education, can serve as an outstanding historical commentator)
I wonder what the Victory Day celebration in the Kingdom of Cardochi will be like
The Temple of Victory is located in the heart of Videsk and was originally the palace of the ancient magical empire
The entire dome of the temple is intricately woven from countless beams of gold and silver, complementing the lapis lazuli ceiling, which appears both structurally rigorous and magnificently splendid. On the twelve reliefs on all four sides, the stories of the heroes of Victory Day are carved.
Thus, the princess decided to train Enleike into an expert in diplomatic etiquette during the remaining days.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Kobe Leo said, taking two steps forward.
The princess, still in a daze and yet to regain her composure, responded in a semi-distracted state: "He is an apprentice undergoing trials at the Magic Association in the new city of Sofien Kingdom, and has not yet completed all the trials"
Looking at the young child magician who could hardly be considered a youth, the great sorcerer Kobe Leo wore an awkward smile on his face. He turned to the princess and asked, "Your Highness, the esteemed princess, what kind of magician is this Mr. Enleiko? It seems you mentioned that there is nothing particularly noteworthy about him..." The words that followed were difficult to utter, lest it reveal the princess's secrets.
Raising his head, Enleike gazed at the entire temple. The architectural style of the Ka'oqi Kingdom is completely different from that of the Sofien Kingdom. The architectural aesthetics of the Sofien Kingdom emphasize multiplicity, complexity, and a focus on local decoration, while the Ka'oqi Kingdom places greater importance on wholeness and a sense of the overall.
I remember that during the climax of the Victory Day performance, the mayor would announce the commencement of the banquet, and at that moment, the atmosphere would reach its peak
In the situation just described, we would not mind the decision made by Your Excellency said Jack
The knight captain personally dismounted from his steed and led the horse before Jack
The knights looked around, and the scene filled them with dread. They could hardly imagine surviving such a spectacle. Although these knights had not truly engaged in any battle, each one felt utterly weak, their limbs trembling.
Enleco is wearing this dress completely for the first time; during regular training, she has only worn about one-third of it at most
However, the elegant and sacred decorations of this temple, along with the grandeur and beauty displayed by the various reliefs, are entirely incomparable to the crude laboratory of Chris
Ascend the temple. On the ten-meter-high steps made of white marble, the civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Ka'oqi, along with the court officials, stand densely packed.
After listening to the legendary names described by Hecorus III, Enleco felt a sense of déjà vu. He turned to glance at Kate, who also wore a puzzled expression, and noticed that Jerry was scratching his head, seemingly trying hard to recall something.
Having put on the gown, Enleike did not dare to leave the room without the princess's command, as this had been ordered by the princess at the beginning of the training
However, despite his confusion, Enleike did not appear as disheveled as Kate and Jerry. This was undoubtedly due to the princess's rigorous and unique training methods, which enabled Enleike to remain calm in the face of less severe incidents. (Of course, this only applied to situations that were not too serious; soon, Enleike would discover the limits of his ability to remain composed.) ... As Enleike pondered why Hercules III only mentioned the names of three heroes, while the legend he had just described included four protagonists, he wondered why Hercules III had not mentioned the fourth person.
A magician capable of rivaling the most powerful archmage in the world
I command you to remember quickly in the name of the princess
If it were in the past, Jack would have certainly been thrilled by now; however, after this magical confrontation, Jack subtly sensed that Enleco's strength might surpass that of the legendary sorcerer.
Everyone indulges in food and drink, performing with great enthusiasm, until they can no longer eat or dance
In the Victory Day campaign, the coalition led by the Twelve Heroes defeated the Emperor of the Magic Empire. The site of the former palace was transformed into the Temple of Victory, which originally enshrined the Twelve Heroes. However, due to the subsequent deterioration of relations between various nations, the Temple of Victory removed all heroes except for the four heroes from the Kingdom of Ka'oqi.
However, Enlaike soon felt the pressure of becoming a public figure
Think about it, make an effort to think about it
Only after the princess walked out from the inner chamber did Enleike dare to stand up from his chair. Seeing the princess in her court banquet attire, standing there so beautifully, Enleike found himself at a loss for words to describe her.
Moreover, the princess personally formulated the training plan
When Enlaikos awoke, four days had already passed
When they approached, the captain of the knights solemnly performed a knightly salute to Jack
When he woke up, he anxiously asked, "What happened? Why are the fire elements behaving so unusually?"
Looking at their gazes, Enleike could only shake his head and smile wryly; the various inconveniences hidden beneath these splendid exteriors are beyond the understanding of others
Therefore, he paused and patiently replied: "Among the three heroes of our country, the foremost hero was revered as the Saint of War at that time, and his name was Xin Luoan. The Saint of War Xin Luoan was invincible both as a knight and as a swordsman, and it was this hero who ultimately defeated the emperor of the Magical Empire.
Among them were the familiar gazes of companions, with Jerry's gaze being the most fervent, as he aspired to become a noble.
Recently, Enleike has become accustomed to dressing and undressing this princess, as well as to the various preparations and changes involved.
The Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo immediately dispatched two teams of Holy Knights to welcome them
As for the serious-faced Madosh wizard, Enleiko has always held him in high regard, thus he also cannot disturb him with such trivial questions
When people arrived on the other side of the mountain pass, the sight astonished everyone present
In addition to them, the great sorcerer Kobe Leo, standing atop the distant picture book city, also sensed a strong aura of danger
In the time that followed, the princess's residence was mockingly referred to by the Kaogqi people as the Royal Circus.
After all, if one were to candidly inform those present that they had once spent several days in the company of the founding heroes of this nation, and ultimately witnessed this legendary figure from five hundred years ago engage in a fierce battle with their teacher, Her Highness the Princess of the Kingdom of Sophie, only to find that the outcome was a draw, with even that super forbidden spell failing to harm their teacher in the slightest
The great magician Kobe Leo was pleased that the knight before him was a reasonable person, and continued, "By the way, I am quite curious about what you all saw just now. Could you tell me?"
In an instant, Jack was left at a loss, as this was the most exalted etiquette among the chivalric customs of all nations, employed solely to welcome heroes
"Please mount," said the holy knight
As for the princess, Enleike would avoid her as much as possible; of course, he also lacked the courage to ask her the reason behind the laughter of those people.
One by one, the elite sorcerers awaken, and each of them almost invariably asks the same question
apprentice
What is this thing
Oh, this is quite remarkable, quite remarkable!" exclaimed Hecoles III.
Originally, everyone believed that the great archmage Kobe Leo had momentarily lacked the power to control and operate that forbidden spell.
However, the princess did not forget the humiliation that Enleike had caused her in front of her father and the ministers in the palace
Upon hearing the Grand Sorcerer Kobe Leo bring up the main topic, everyone around who had an interest in magic perked up their ears to listen. Among those most concerned, fearing they might miss a single word, besides the princess, were the twelve elite magic guards.
Oh, oh, ah, ah, very good..." The great sorcerer, still not fully recovered, responded in a dazed and unclear manner
There is no answer more shocking than this
As a proud royal knight, Jack is quite polite, and he immediately returned the gesture.
Enlai looked at the relief and couldn't help but be taken aback, jumping up repeatedly while stammering and pointing at the sculpture, exclaiming: "Wolf, wolf, old wolf, old wolf..."
However, the first to raise the question was the earliest awakened among the twelve elite sorcerers.
Of course, the training instructor is personally appointed by the princess
Listening to the diplomatic and formulaic conversation between the princess and His Highness Hecules III, Enleiko found himself utterly disinterested. He stole a glance at the prince beside him, and it seemed that this prince was also lacking interest in the current scene
On the relief, there is a sculpture of a three-headed demon wolf standing upright. The clouds in the sky depicted on the relief are swirling into an unnatural spiral.
He completely disregarded the questioning glances from his subordinates and swiftly issued concise commands
He could wait until he saw the mysterious smile of Hecules III, the usual half-smile of Kobe Leon, and the expressions of everyone around him, all of whom were desperately trying to suppress their laughter, their faces rigid with effort... He could even see from a distance the ministers of the Kingdom of Kaoki pointing and laughing heartily there
It took Enlaike a full hour, with the assistance of four guards and two palace maids, to don the gown composed of more than forty independent components.
Upon seeing the arrival of the delegation from the Kingdom of Sophien, King Hecoles III immediately descended the steps. He warmly approached Princess Franny and earnestly greeted her, saying: "Your Royal Highness, as you have come to my kingdom, if there is anything inconvenient in your daily life, please do not hesitate to mention it. I will ensure that my ministers make the necessary arrangements so that you feel as if you are in your own country"
The stories recounted by Hecors III, while thrilling for an ordinary person like Enleco, are not particularly significant. However, for knights like Kate and Haomeng, these legends represent the tales of the heroes they admire and revere
It has been said that for knights who do not possess a deep faith, heroes become their deities
The only remaining structures are those foundations.
Upon entering Videsk, everyone immediately feels a strong festive atmosphere
Upon reaching the mountain pass, I observed that the entire Mechalus Fortress had been thoroughly destroyed; this place could hardly be called ruins. All standing structures had been completely obliterated and scattered by the powerful shockwave to several miles behind.
Kobe Li Ao is indeed a commendable magician; he is a man of his word. Along the way, he has made every effort to cure En Lai Ke of his dissociative disorder.
In fact, there is no need for Qiao to worry; the gifts of consolation sent by the holy knights alone ensure that Jack's team is well-fed and cared for
To speak so directly raises two issues: first, whether those present believe it is a question; second, if those present do believe what they are saying, it is unimaginable what impact the knowledge of such powerful magicians existing in the Kingdom of Sophien would have on this diplomatic mission.
A magician capable of breaking forbidden spells
Traversing through these fragments of stone is indeed quite laborious; some of the rocks are as large as small hills, some resemble grinding wheels, and there are also some that are as fine as sand
Following the princess outside, all the members of the delegation were already prepared
Not only does everyone treat him as a hero, but he is also respected by all the knights, including the valiant Hao Meng.
As Enleike passed through each triumphal arch, he eagerly admired the exquisite reliefs carved upon them. These twelve triumphal arches can truly be described as magnificent. Enleike secretly resolved to come here in the future to take a good look.
As the sound drew nearer, an elderly man dressed in a white robe slowly approached from the far end of the grand hall
Enleike calculated the days and realized that the Victory Day celebration was approaching. Thinking about it, this would be the first time he celebrated Victory Day in a foreign land
Of course, the origin of the Victory Day celebration is our Ka'aoqi. The great sorcerer Kobe Leo said happily: By the way, the princess is also looking for you, so hurry up. Be careful, she might want to test your training results
In the view of Enlaike, Hekols III indeed possesses a certain talent for narration, as he often speaks with great fervor and inspiration, as if in an instant, everyone is transported back to an era filled with heroes. In the baptism of magic and warfare, they bravely fought and tenaciously resisted the formidable armies of the magical empire, engaging in a life-and-death struggle against the almost immortal and immensely powerful magical emperor alongside those twelve heroes
Next, Enleike, in her special capacity as the private property of Princess Chris, found herself exposed by an unknown individual. This made things even more lively, and for several days, Enleike had to constantly seek places to hide.
Seeing Enleike jumping and shouting in such a ridiculous manner, everyone around, including Hekols III, felt both astonished and amused
Enleike temporarily lost his memory due to the use of magic that exceeded the limits of his physical capacity. Moreover, his mental strength also became diffuse and unable to concentrate for the same reason
The sky full of red clouds suddenly appeared extremely unusual. The rolling bubbles that were once present vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind
Enleike, if you can recall even a small detail, consider the significant contribution this diplomatic mission has made to our country
Only the central area remains untouched by any attacks, and it is quite striking that several knights are approaching from the pile of rocks
In a short period, Enlaike became the most popular idol figure within the delegation
Moreover, every time the great sorcerer Kobe Leo sees himself, that ambiguous smile seems to foreshadow that something is quite amiss
His deeply sunken eyes indicate that this old man is actually blind. All of this proves that the elderly figure before us is indeed the High Priest Melong of the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
As Enleco increasingly becomes a public figure, and his influence within the Holy Knights and the mages of the Kingdom of Kaoci grows stronger, how could such a useful pawn be overlooked and not utilized
For this question, there is no one nearby who can answer him
From Enleiko's perspective, one can clearly observe the vast accumulation of fire elements within the red clouds.
Welcome, Your Majesty, welcome, esteemed Princess, and all the distinguished guests present from the Kingdom of Sophien, and a special welcome to the companions of the heroes
However, this action clearly undermined the noble image and immediately earned the princess a sharp glare.
Regarding this statement, whether it is the Royal Knights or the Holy Knights, the boundless admiration they all express is something Enleiko can now deeply understand
Among these individuals, some are known to Enleike, but the majority of them he has not met.
Indeed, those knights—whether they are the royal knights of the Kingdom of Sofien or the holy knights of the Kingdom of Kaoki—still refer to Enleiko by the title of hero
At the mountain pass, all the holy knights formed two lines to welcome them. Each knight struck their battle shield. A tremendous cheer echoed through the skies
I only remember that I used the "Chaotic Crystal Wall" to block that forbidden spell for a moment, and then I lost consciousness. Moreover, from what I heard from Kate, the black spear-like magic I used later was something I not only could not perform, but I had never even heard of it before.
The place originally known as the Qisila Valley now has all its peaks completely flattened, with the ground covered in rubble.
"Please mount!" With the simultaneous shouts echoing around, all members of the Holy Knights' Order jumped down from their warhorses
Enleiko knew that something was definitely wrong with him
However, he did not dare to speak out of turn, for before their departure, he had received the princess's stern admonitions: no speaking out of turn, no random movements, no interrupting, no asking questions, no eating indiscriminately, no sitting down casually, no wandering about, no... In any case, Enlaike truly could not remember how many prohibitions there were.
Haha, thank you, thank you, but what I said still stands. I hope to have the opportunity to serve you all in the future
In recent days, Enlaike has fully realized how close the blood relationship is between Princess and Teacher Chris
Meilong believes in the God of Wisdom—Italotansikate. Like the Mage Madosh, he is also a powerful sorcerer with the strength of a Grand Magus
Immediately thereafter, a tremendous roar erupted. With the deafening sound, the entire Mechalus was shattered into countless tiny fragments
Because he now knows that wearing this beautiful outfit must be quite uncomfortable. Just the curly hairstyle alone takes at least two hours to perfect. Is it worth expending so much effort for these things?
Due to this situation, it frequently occurs in the application of magic that the higher the level of magic, the more likely it is to go out of control. When magic goes out of control, it often befalls the caster. Therefore, it is entirely understandable that the Grand Magus Kobir Leo ordered everyone to quickly evacuate from Mecharus
The etiquette training of Her Highness the Princess is indeed not to be underestimated
The bright red sky has become exceedingly calm, and the originally boiling red clouds have now transformed into a piece of splendid silk dancing gracefully in the breeze. It is also akin to a tranquil crimson lake, gently rippling up and down with the soft caress of the breeze
In order to have sufficient time to train Enleiko, the princess even requested the great sorcerer Kobiriao to slow down the itinerary
The princess employed her method of training, which was effectively akin to torture, to engrave every gesture and etiquette deeply into Enleiko's mind (in this regard, the princess's approach was entirely the same as that of Teacher Chris). Subsequently, through a method of fatigue bombardment, she transformed these actions into a habitual practice for Enleiko (indeed, it was almost derived from Chris's method).
At this moment, the only person who could remain awake was Joe, after all, Joe knew the least about magic
Among them, the inquiries from the great sorcerer Kobe Leo were the most polite and courteous. In contrast, the princess's questioning was truly overwhelming for Enleiko, resembling a fatigue bombardment
Amidst the curious gazes and mocking gestures of those around, Enleike followed the princess and others into the sanctuary
Jack awoke from his coma and found himself surrounded by a waist-high stone wall.
Kate and Jerry looked in the direction pointed out by Enleike, and simultaneously jumped up, shouting face to face: "Old Wolf"
Moreover, Enleike always felt that there was something amiss with this etiquette training; one only needs to observe how those holy knights, upon seeing him, always clench their jaws and turn their heads away, unable to face him.
Ignoring the hellish scenery surrounding him, as if he were inherently a part of it, Enleike stood alone in the center
As the crowd parted, a young man dressed in a golden robe approached. Enleiko immediately realized that he must be Hekols III, the Emperor of the Ka'oqi Kingdom
The traces of tears were clearly visible on the princess's face, which filled Jack with immense excitement, and similarly, it also thrilled every surviving member of Jack's team.
The foam in the sky suddenly trembled and then immediately contracted back.
The flames surrounding him could not approach within a radius of ten zhang. Beyond this range was a fire wall several dozen meters high, tightly enclosing them within.
Seeing Jack in a state of confusion, the knight behind the captain said: "Please mount your horse. To face so many enemies alone and survive such a battle, even though you and I are not from the same country, your actions still earn our respect. Please mount your horse."
Here, only one person expresses deep sympathy for Enlaike.
He helped the dazed princess back to the tent, and commanded the others to properly settle Jack's team. For the time being, they were not required to fulfill any knightly duties, and this team was designated as a special unit, entitled to special privileges
He never expected that when he stepped out of the tent, he would be met with such profound hospitality
The rumbling sound in the sky resounded once again. A massive bubble of foam formed above the crowd
