Chapter 53 Becoming a King(1/2)
Author: Yan Liu Chang Cun
"It's finally over."
Ronan, who was leaning on the chair, stood up and looked at the setting sun outside the window. He raised his hands high and relaxed his body.
Sitting still and watching the knight's battle all afternoon made his body stiffen.
"It's good to win. It seems like this border banditry incident can come to an end."
Ronan thought that a stable environment would provide him with more time to develop.
Now that the Black Death has attracted most of the kingdom's attention, the outbreak of war will disrupt his development here.
After all, although the Cold Wind Territory is remote and inconspicuous, Black Rock City is not.
Once the war with the Northern Lion Principality breaks out, this place is not far from the border, and Black Rock City is likely to become one of the lions' targets.
Use it as a springboard to attack the kingdom's northern provinces.
Just thinking back to the behavior of the bandit leader, Ronan always felt a little strange.
When the opponent fights, he highlights an unpretentious one.
Compared to Endri who was on fire and Ederson who was shining like a star, he was just there swinging an ax throughout the whole game.
Even when he was defeated, Edson only shot down his weapon and then simply turned around and left.
In contrast, Ederson had exhausted all means. He was under high mental stress, and the sweat from his body completely soaked the lining, and he was about to be exhausted.
"What's this, giving the kingdom some face before leaving?" Ronan couldn't help but shake his head.
Not only that, Ederson's condition doesn't seem right either.
I always felt like my brother had something wrong with his expression when facing Endri, the leader of the Knights of the Golden Wheat.
Ronan got up and left the main hall and came to the second floor of the castle.
After finishing today's dinner with Cassana, he entered the basement alone.
Bloodline Inspiration!
There were all kinds of dizzying and harsh noises in my ears, and the twisted and messy lines and snowflake distortions in front of my eyes alternated in turns.
Ronan constantly adjusted the magic power output to make the magic power trajectory more perfect.
After a long period of repeated experiments, he finally got the picture he wanted.
Late at night, the bright moonlight illuminates the earth, making the land originally stained red by the blood of the knights even more glamorous.
In the silent military camp, Edson suddenly opened his eyes.
He lifted up the quilt on his body, quietly got out of bed and walked out of the tent.
Hiding his figure in the shadows, Edson continued to shuttle through the military camp, crossing obstacles everywhere.
Finally, we stopped in front of a tent that was several times larger than the surrounding area.
He had left the royal guard's camp and arrived at the territory of the Golden Wheat Knights.
In front of him was the main tent where Endri rested.
Edson lifted up the tent and walked inside, looking at Endri lying on the bed under the faint moonlight.
As a powerful golden knight in the kingdom, he can still maintain high sensitivity even in sleep, and any slight sound will wake him up.
Under normal circumstances, the other party would never be touched so easily.
But it's different now.
Edson no longer concealed his voice and walked up to Endri.
"Wake up."
Hearing his words, Endri was immediately awakened even though he was seriously injured.
His whole body was tense and he just wanted to get up and distance himself from the intruder, but his wounds that had not yet recovered were affected, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
It wasn't until he saw the person coming clearly with the help of the moonlight that it was Edson that he relaxed.
"Sir Edson, are you crazy? Why do you want to break into my tent at night?"
"Ten years ago, you were involved in the vampire assassination incident that attacked Prince Colt's motorcade and killed the daughter of the Duke of Northern Lion, right?"
Edson ignored his question and stared at him coldly.
He asked the question that had been lingering in his heart since they met.
"What are you talking about?" Endri looked at him with confusion.
"Ten years ago, I was in the motorcade, as a knight in the royal guard protecting the daughters of princes and dukes."
Edson's tone had no fluctuation, but revealed an extreme coldness.
"After I killed a vampire, a man covered in a cloak trampled me under his feet, and then thrust his sword into the chest of the duke's daughter behind me."
"My memory is very good." Edson let out a suppressed growl from his throat, "It's so good that I can still remember that person's back clearly!"
There was a long silence in the tent.
Endri raised his head and glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Ten years have passed, all the vampires have been killed, you were not harmed in that attack, Prince Colt was able to marry the wife he loved, and now the attack from the Northern Lion Principality has receded. Everything is happy, isn't it?
?”
"In that case, why dwell on the past." Endri lay back on the quilt, "You will return to the Triumph City with the glory of victory and receive praise from His Majesty."
"And now, I want to rest, please go back."
Yes, everyone is happy, Prince Colt married the daughter of Count Cobo, but what about the girl who died in the attack?
He recalled the little girl he met in the garden of his home fifteen years ago, and the agreement they made when they were ten years old at the time.
Edson gritted his teeth and began to hate his powerful memory.
The happy scenes from that time began to reappear in his mind.
And five years later, when they met in the principality, she had transformed into a girl, and the complicated scene when the two met.
In the end, he was lying on the ground helplessly, and the girl whose heart was pierced by a sharp sword fell beside him, with an apology on her face.
Damn it!
Ederson wants to do something.
But reason told him that everything had been settled long ago and it was best for him not to do anything.
So he stretched out his palm and pinched Endri's neck.
"Even the Golden Knight may die from serious injuries without recovery."
"What do you want to do, you!" Endri opened his eyes wide and stared at him in disbelief.
The pain of suffocation made his face turn blue, but he could only feebly try to open the opponent's hand.
"Your methods will leave traces, let me do it."
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow next to him and stopped Edson's movements.
"What the hell?"
Not only did Edson's heart skip a beat, but even Ronan, who was taking his place from afar, was frightened.
There is actually a person who has been in the tent from the beginning!
Edson didn't react until the other party took the initiative to show up.
It was the bandit leader who had retreated before, but now he appeared quietly in the center of the kingdom's knight camp.
The bandit leader opened Edson's hand.
Before Endri could take a breath, he gently patted the other person's chest, making him lie down quietly on the bed, and there was no more movement.
"Relax, I mean no harm to you."
After solving Endri's problem, he turned to look at the tense Ederson, and then took off the disguise on his face.
Accompanied by a thick beard, an unexpected face appeared in Edson's eyes.
"Duke the Raging Lion!"
"No, you should call me Uncle Xia En." Duke Angry Lion looked at him with satisfaction, and his straight body began to grow taller.
From the original 1.7 meters to the normal 2 meters.
"When you were one year old, your grandfather took your mother and you to visit the Northern Lion. I even hugged you."
The Raging Lion Duke patted him on the shoulder. Unlike his wild appearance, his expression was actually very gentle.
Even so, facing the strongest man in the empire in front of him, Edson still found it difficult to soothe his violently beating heart.
"The reminiscing ends here. I'm here to ask you just one question."
Duke Angry Lion looked at him, and the pressure in his eyes made Edson couldn't help but cheer up.
