Chapter 41: The Daughter of the Night, famous in the mainland, causing uproar
In the early morning of April 14, year 313 of the natural calendar, Viscount Ackermann arrived at Wisteria City, the capital of Falorland.
The situation has been stirred up many times recently, and coupled with the huge commotion caused by the vampire prince Arlington and the projection of the nightmare monarch in Devon Town, Renn has attracted much attention since his arrival.
Before anyone even entered the city, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the royal capital, causing a huge sensation.
However, as a focal figure at the center of public opinion, Lane himself is very calm.
He was not in a hurry to enter the city, and slowly enjoyed the scenery of the city with Eileen's company.
He stared at the Lure River, which was as clear as green jade. Wisteria City was located on the north bank of the Lure River, and the city wall curved into a semicircle against the river.
He was deeply impressed by the giant dragon sculpture at the city gate.
It was a fifteen-meter-high stone sculpture. The dragon opened its mouth and roared, and spread its wings behind it, as if it was about to rise into the sky. The pressure of the legendary creature at the top of the food chain was vividly displayed.
There is no doubt that this dragon sculpture was made by a master sculptor.
"Let's go, what's there to see? You'll get tired of it after watching it a few more times."
After waiting for half an hour, seeing him lingering at the city gate, Princess Eileen became a little impatient, stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, urging him.
Ren shrugged and was pulled by her, entering the royal capital through the wide open west city gate.
The bullock cart was inspected several times by the soldiers on guard. The old goat paid a gold coin and showed the Ackermann family's noble coat of arms and the vehicle registration and city entry permit that had been processed long ago before it was released.
As a royal city, and it coincides with the year of war, the royal capital still has very strict control over the entry and exit of pedestrians, vehicles and horses.
If it weren't for the eldest princess Irene leading the team, Ren and his party would have to be searched, interrogated, and go through several spell detection and other procedures before they could enter the city.
It is easier for ordinary civilians to enter and leave the city, but the registration and inspection of extraordinary people is stricter.
The first impression Wisteria City gave to Renn was that it was neat.
This city has been designed and planned, and attention has been paid to the harmony between nature and the city from the beginning. Therefore, there are green vegetation and stone buildings everywhere. There are many tall buildings and hundreds of flowers blooming. It is a picturesque scene.
There is a reason why it is called "Wisteria City".
Because plants like wisteria can be seen everywhere in this city, on porches, big trees, rocks, scaffoldings, and walls. They are planted everywhere.
Wisteria can also be trimmed into shrubs and planted on lawns, beside rocks, or as potted plants.
Most of the city roads are paved with cobblestones, with street trees planted along the sidewalks on both sides. The streets are lined with hotels, restaurants and various shops.
It is a very prosperous city with bustling traffic, eight streets and nine streets, and a bustle of people.
Of course, the most spectacular and amazing thing is the floating city in the sky.
The majestic city is suspended in the sky 10,000 meters high. Its white walls are coated with a golden glow of the morning sun. It floats and sinks in the misty sea of clouds. It is so magnificent, just like the holy city from heaven.
The key is the coercion. The city itself seems to have the function of absorbing the force. Chaotic torrents of force are constantly washing away the floating city. When Ren observes with the "Eye of Deception", he can even see something like a spider web.
A network of equally bright silver, composed of runes and energy flows, weaves and covers the entire sky above the royal capital.
As for the underground of the royal capital, it goes without saying that there must be countless powerful runes, mechanisms, restrictions and barriers.
There is a floating city above and multiple holy formations below. It can be said that the entire Wisteria City is under strict protection and deterrence.
"In a city like this, unless the Dark Lord attacks, you can rest easy."
Renn sighed in admiration.
This is the most majestic city he has ever seen, and it is impregnable.
In comparison, Merova City is far behind.
"Of course, this is a city jointly designed by our ancestor (Emperor William the Great) and the 'Great Mage' Anion."
Princess Eileen raised her head and held her chest out, looking proud.
Even if there are only two or three low-level saints in this city, they can still kill any dark prince with the help of various formations, restrictions, spell barriers and the floating holy city.
It would be fine if she or her brother-in-law Karl were there to block a dark monarch.
Ren nodded, but he was thinking about other things.
"The Great Mage" Anion...
His full name is Annion Verges Marrow. This name is exactly the same as the current Elder Sky, and he is suspected to be the same person.
Not long ago, Renn met Elder Sky once in low-Earth orbit in space.
But "Mage Sage" Anion and "Conqueror" William were contemporaries. In the Fifth Era, 800 years ago, the two became famous top powerhouses in the mainland. They were both about two hundred years old at the time.
…
So the question is, if it is really the same person, how did Elder Anion live to this day?
By this calculation, he has lived for a thousand years.
Even if Elder Anion is a half-step sixth-level boss, he can't fight against the consciousness of the world. Otherwise, why would the Sun King burn his body and forcefully attack the sixth-level true god realm?
Renn had no suspicion before, thinking that the "Great Mage" Anion in history and the Sky Elder just happened to have the same name.
On mainland Saigon, the same name is too common.
Take the kings of Falorland as an example.
Over the past hundred years, the throne has changed from Charles IV → Abraham III → Charles VI.
What about Charles V?
For no other reason, it just so happened that during this period, in another kingdom on the mainland, a new king with the word "Charlie" in his name came to the throne, and the time was a little earlier than Charles VI.
His name was Charles V.
Charles V and Charles IV have nothing to do with each other.
To put it bluntly, they both have the word "Charlie" in their names, but other than that, there is no connection.
Therefore, the first and second lives may be related to each other, such as father and son, or they may just have the same name and no blood relationship.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if you are not a king, this situation is not uncommon.
For example, Forrest, little Forrest, the names written on the paper are exactly the same.
In order to distinguish them, the world calls them Old Forrest and Little Forrest.
Some fathers are just too lazy to name their sons. Whatever my name is, what is your name? At most, they can add a few middle names that can be hidden...
The same goes for some nicknames and titles.
There are dozens of "conquerors" in the history of Saigon mainland, but William the Great, the founder of the Faroran Kingdom, is the most famous.
It is not surprising that Elder Sky happens to have the same name as the "Mage Sage" Anion in history, or that he is his descendant.
But after Ren's investigation, various signs indicate that Elder Sky and Mage Sage Anion should be the same person.
If this guess is true, Elder Sky is too mysterious.
He actually lived for a thousand years...
These thoughts flashed through Ren's mind, but he was not strong enough and did not intend to further explore the secrets.
He looked up at the floating city, which was a bit eye-opening, and exclaimed:
"What an incredible creation."
The city suspended in the air itself is actually nothing.
If you invite a few legendary mages to come over, you can build a "Levitation Technique" + a large-scale "Anti-Gravity Barrier".
Although it is a high-end technology, other kingdoms can be built as long as you are willing to spend money.
But this floating city in the Kingdom of Faloran is different. The ancient vicissitudes of life correspond to the stars in the sky and the spiritual power of the earth below, as if it can suppress the whole world. It is shocking.
The more powerful the extraordinary person is, the more he is aware of the terrifying power of the floating city above his head.
No wonder there are very few wanted criminals and demons who dare to come here to cause trouble.
"Want to go up and have a look?" Hearing his admiration, Irene raised her sexy red lips and said with a seductive smile.
"It's not easy for outsiders to go up there, right?" Renn looked a little hesitant.
If he remembered correctly, only members of the royal family can enter the floating city, and at least they must have royal blood.
"It's easy. As long as you agree to marry me, you can go to whatever you want, whether it's me or the floating city."
Renn: "..."
(一`′一)
After all, he still needs to get married and tie him to the Clement family's chariot.
Ren didn't want to continue to tangle with Princess Irene, so he said truthfully:
"Princess, I already have an engagement."
He was afraid that if he continued like this, he would be unable to resist the temptation and simply let her give up as soon as possible.
Irene was stunned for a moment and said with doubtful eyes: "But, I haven't heard that you have a marriage partner."
In fact, she had investigated Viscount Ackermann a long time ago. After he killed the Queen's father, Count Maclay, and attracted the attention of the royal family, she had been collecting information about him.
Lane: "The engagement was not made public."
"It turns out it was just a private commitment."
Eileen curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Nobles do not recognize such unannounced engagements."
Marriage must be made public.
In aristocratic circles, engagement is far more important than marriage. The former is a matter between two families or forces, while the latter is just a personal behavior.
For example, if you marry a princess, your descendants will have royal blood. Then, will your descendants have the right to inherit the throne, what is the order of succession, how many fiefs and titles can they get... These are all determined during the engagement.
It needs to be negotiated and a lot of legal documents need to be signed.
After the engagement, even if there is no wedding, others will recognize the couple as a legal couple.
On the contrary, if you get married directly without being engaged, the nobles will not recognize it, because it is an elopement and has not been approved by the family.
Ren shrugged and said, "But I will get engaged to her, sooner or later."
If he hadn't been able to contact Kesha, he would have proposed marriage now.
Ever since he became famous in a battle in the dark cave of the Demon Realm, he has been annoyed by the matter of marriage.
Irene put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and said, "Are you saying this because you want me to give up? Don't be ridiculous. Don't say that you just have a girlfriend. What if you get married? You can divorce.
Even if the man I like is someone else's husband, I dare to snatch him away!"
Do you really think her nicknames like "Rakshasa Girl" and "Valkyrie of the Night" were just blowing up?
Renn: "..."
(ー_ー)!!
The succubus wouldn't let go of him.
Ren's face looked a little confused and said: "Your Highness, you are not short of suitable partners based on your conditions, right? Why are you staring at me?"
He is not so narcissistic that he thinks he is the only outstanding man in the world.
What are Princess Eileen's conditions?
She is the eldest princess of Falorland. She is at the peak of level 30 in the field and at level 27 or 28 of the Holy Body. She is 107 years old, which is considered very young for a saint. The dark force in her body has undergone deep transformation, and she can be said to be completely reborn.
The potential is greatly increased, and there is a high probability that she will become a female king-level powerhouse in the future...
Even if you search the entire Saigon continent for an unmarried woman with this kind of condition, you may not find another one.
Princess Eileen is now worthy of any man, even if she marries a powerful male king.
The Sun King, the Blue Sword Master, the Storm War God...the wives of these king-level powerful men in history are not necessarily stronger than Princess Irene.
She has reached the pinnacle of beauty and beauty in Saigon.
To be honest, Renn, the number one genius in the continent, may not be worthy of her at the moment.
So he didn't understand why she was so anxious and still holding on to him.
"this……"
Irene's eyes were a little dodgy and her face was slightly red. She did not answer his question directly, but pouted and said, "Okay, maybe I am too impatient. Let's do this. During this time in the capital, if you think I am still
Jargon, you can propose to me at any time...
Please think about it carefully, I will be a good wife."
At the end of the sentence, her pretty face turned crimson, as if she was shy.
If it weren't for the "Witch of Doom" Natalia, how could she be so shameless?
Wow, her aloof image is completely ruined...
"Okay, I will seriously consider it."
Ren said perfunctorily, waved his hand, said goodbye to her, and turned to leave.
What to consider?
It is impossible to say that he has no thoughts about Irene. With such a top-notch white, rich and beautiful girl, he is naturally a little itchy.
pity……
Blood Queen: Do you love me?
Rayne: Love.
Well, nothing more.
Does he dare to say that he doesn't love her? Does he dare not to marry her?
If you really dare to regret your marriage, I'm afraid that if it's not the next day, your head will be blown off by the famous gun "Blood Elegy"...
Compared with Keisha, the Valkyrie of the Sun, Irene, the Valkyrie of the Night, is nothing.
As for me, I want them all...
Ahem, no, let alone the Blood Queen, even Princess Irene cannot be defeated by him. Even though the princess is so shy today and falls down at the first push, she is rushing to get married, not to be his mistress...
Erin had complicated thoughts in her heart. Thinking back to the witch's words, she didn't even know how Ren left.
'Congratulations, Eileen, you are finally back. It seems that you have become much stronger.'
'Don't do this, I'm in bad luck this time... By the way, Natalia, I want to get married, can you do some divination for me?'
'I had predicted this unintentionally. The Star Child, who represents a variable, will appear, and the Lady of the Night, who is burdened with great luck, will escape from trouble... A year ago, fate showed this trajectory.'
‘What do you mean when you speak human language?!’
"The daughter of the night is naturally the son of the matching star. A match made in heaven. Do I need to say more?"
'Then... who is the Star Child?'
'The first rising star in Falorland, you don't have to look for him deliberately. The restless wind in April will bring his news, and the burning blood and fire will announce his arrival.'
'Oh, so my Prince Charming is coming soon? Can you make it more clear?'
'Eileen, I'll give you a piece of advice. This was the trajectory a year ago. Destiny has shifted again. You have to hurry up.'
'What's the meaning?'
'Hurry, hurry...Sorry, that's all I can say.'
'...You are so nagging, I hate witches like you the most, you are not honest at all.'
…
Princess Eileen looked at the direction Ren left with a dazed look in her eyes, and whispered to herself:
"Is he the best destination for me?"
She didn't really believe in divination or prophecy at first.
But 48 years ago, the witch of misfortune said that if she traveled to Qiushan Kingdom, she would be doomed, and if she could come back alive, she would become the "Daughter of the Night."
She didn't believe it and followed the plan stubbornly...
Now, the Witch of Doom told her that if she could successfully combine with the Star Child, she could become the great "Queen of the Night."
If not, it will be a lot more difficult.
Moreover, there is not much time left for her, not much in all aspects.
"Well……"
Princess Eileen suddenly snorted and turned pale.
She rushed into an alley in an instant, panting, and clenched her trembling left wrist with her right hand. The fair-skinned wrist was filled with black light at the moment, and the extremely rich original darkness contained the aura of destruction.
"hateful……"
Irene's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, her face was bitter, and she hated herself for being too greedy.
There was nothing wrong with soaking in the abandoned "Well of the Abyss", but she should not absorb and refine the essence of flesh and blood and the dark force in the old broken body of the Demon Emperor.
That kind of power is so overbearing.
She couldn't completely refine it and had a rejection reaction.
Although the side effects will not turn her into a demon, it may make her severely disabled or even explode to death...
"If it doesn't work, I will..." Irene breathed in cold air, her eyes very anxious.
If things didn't go well, she would just give herself a hard time.
After all, he's not ugly either.
…………
Royal Capital, DC District, King’s Square.
King's Square is one of the landmark buildings in the royal capital and a popular place for leisure and entertainment for citizens. Many street artists like to display their works here, and even the king sometimes delivers speeches here.
To the south of the square stands a building called the "Brave Building", which has nine floors and is luxuriously decorated. There are also two sculptures of three-headed hounds standing in front of the door.
Ren is temporarily living in a suite on the fourth floor of the Brave Building.
This building is the residence of the Demon Hunter Association in the royal capital, and its name is the same as the one in Merova City.
"Hello, President!"
"Good morning, President."
"President Ackerman, you are so brave. I heard that you killed the clone of a vampire prince last night!"
"Oh my God, is this news true?"
"Of course. Didn't you see that everyone in the royal capital was discussing this matter this morning?"
…
As soon as Ren entered the building, many extraordinary people took the initiative to greet him in the marble-paved hall. Many people crowded around him with warm smiles and offered him all kinds of flattery.
In fact, the news had not even had time to appear in major newspapers.
After all, it happened in the middle of the night last night. Even if the newspaper office worked overtime to type and print, it would not be so fast, but the news has almost spread throughout the capital.
Counterattack against the Prince of Darkness, the number one genius in the continent... These news made the people of the Demon Hunter Association climax.
"Okay, let's all disperse. Don't act like you are watching some precious animals."
Renn smiled and said hello to everyone, then squeezed through the crowd and fled.
I've heard too much flattery, so that's it.
As for prestige, there is no need to deliberately create it, he is much better than Master Randy.
His strength is such that he can control the situation even at the association headquarters, let alone the Farolland branch.
"Oh, brother, you are back unexpectedly. I thought you would live at Princess Eileen's place."
In the living room of the suite, Leon looked surprised when he saw Ren pushing the door open.
The old goat opened the bathroom door, came out wrapped in a bathrobe, and wiped his hair randomly. When he saw Ren, he smiled obscenely and said:
"No way, you can't last even an hour alone with the eldest princess? It's too fast, men can't be so fast."
Renn: "..."
(?_?), will you die if you don’t drive?
"roll!"
Ren said rudely, opened the space door with a swipe of his hand, and took out a change of clothes.
"Brother, what are you going to do next?" Leon asked.
"Retreat for a few days."
"Huh?" Leon was a little confused as to why he was in seclusion. Ren was in the spotlight at this time, so he should make more friends with powerful people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A shelter from the limelight?" asked the old goat.
"No, I have gained a little bit, so I have to digest it." Ren said calmly.
When he said this, Leon and the old goat suddenly understood and expressed their understanding.
Fighting is also a way to make rapid progress. It is simple and crude but effective. At the moment of life and death, a person's potential, wisdom and inspiration will be fully released.
Many strong people have this experience.
After every bloody battle, whether it is practicing to accumulate force, or building and improving the field, the speed will be much faster than usual.
The same is true for Ren. He plans to retreat for a few days to digest the gains from the battle during this period.
"If someone comes to visit, you are responsible for receiving them, but don't agree to anything."
"clear."
"knew."
Leon and the old goat straightened their faces and nodded.
To a certain extent, they are now considered retainers of the Ackerman family.
In the next few days, Renn began to retreat, refused all social activities, hid in a high-end training room on the basement floor of the Brave Mansion, and practiced hard.
From the abandoned textile factory, to the Skyline Canyon, to Devon Town, he has experienced many battles.
At the factory, I killed a number of demon-born miscellaneous fish, fought with the projection of Prince Christian, and then defeated Princess Ariel one-on-three, killed Yanshan and the Ghoul Archduke, and beheaded the clone of the vampire prince Arlington.
, and then fought against his true form, and witnessed Karl using the Demon-Slaying Technique to fight with the Nightmare Lord's projection...
He gained a lot from these battles.
He practiced hard in seclusion, and although the level 27 immortal golden body was still far away from being upgraded, there was a faint trend of breakthrough in the realm that was already at the peak of level 25 - "Sea of Stars and Sea of Stars·Infinite Arms".
This made him very happy.
With luck, he will be able to break through this month and will be in the double fifth level by then.
Ren was in seclusion and couldn't hear what was going on outside the window, but the outside world caused an uproar.
This time, the turmoil was not limited to the Kingdom of Falorland and several surrounding countries, but spread almost throughout the central region of the continent.
The most sensational thing is naturally the projection of Director Carl vs. the Nightmare Lord, and incidentally killing the Blood Prince Arlington.
This incident became the front page headlines of hundreds of mainstream newspapers in more than 30 countries across mainland China.
At the same time, Lane also became famous and became famous. The sensation he caused was not much smaller than that of Director Carl.
Because he is still very young and belongs to the new generation. His reputation as "the number one genius in Saigon Continent" has triggered discussions and hot debates that will not be much worse than Karl's projection of killing the Nightmare Lord.
As the leader of the Dark Night Clown "Yan Shan" was killed, the elders of the ghoul clan were killed in battle, the sky-high 500,000 bounty was cancelled, and many other incidents unfolded, his reputation gradually spread to many countries outside the Kingdom of Faloran.
Five days later, when Ren came out of quarantine and returned to his suite, he was shocked.
The large living room of fifty square meters is filled with various gift boxes, covering two entire walls. The dazzling array takes up almost half of the living room.
The balcony window was open, but the air was still filled with the smell of various cigarettes and alcohol.
Two drunk men were lying on the sofa, unconscious.
Ren walked to the sofa and found that the two drunk men were Lao Goat and Leon.
Leon and the old goat smelled of alcohol, their faces were red, they were a little disheveled, their bellies were slightly bulging, and they were obviously overeating and drinking.
It seems that they have received many guests and attended many banquets in the past few days.
Renn patted Leon on the shoulder and said: "Hey, wake up."
"Well, cheers~"
Leon was in a daze, still lying on the sofa, but his hand made a toasting gesture, "Don't worry, friend, my eldest brother will be released soon.
Don't mention the marriage... Sigh, I really can't help with this.
The gift is free, it’s too polite, I really don’t need it...
Hmm, don’t worry, I will definitely convey your words to my eldest brother and I won’t forget it..."
He was like an emotional repeater, repeating this sentence very quickly without even a pause.
Renn: "..."
How many times has he repeated similar words?
He drank so much that he became unconscious and could still recite the contents.
"Don't worry, friend, my eldest brother will be out of isolation soon, don't mention the marriage... Oh, I really can't help with this..."
Leon was lying on the sofa, repeating these words in his mouth.
Ren patted him, and he repeated it again, speaking fluently, so fluently that it was a bit brainwashing.
Seeing that he couldn't wake up, Ren was a little helpless and went over to pat the old goat.
The old goat reacted even more. He stood up with a loud noise, shook his head as if he would fall down in the next second, but kept talking:
"That's right, I'll tell you quietly, I've known Viscount Ackerman for a long time. I could tell at a glance that he was that kind of unique cultivation wizard, exuding a domineering aura like an emperor...
Friends, there is no need to rush about marriage, there is no need to rush, I really can’t say anything about this.
Just don’t give me gifts. There are too many and it’s hard to get them... Oh, don’t be so polite. You said you are...
Don’t worry, I will definitely tell him what you said and he will not forget it. Even if I drink ten cases of wine, I will not forget it..."
Renn: "..."
(ー_ー)!!
He was a little curious about what inhuman torture Leon and the old goat had experienced in the past five days.
Look at them, they are like two humanoid repeaters. They take a picture and record the words again.
A master-level extraordinary person can basically not get drunk after a thousand cups. Liquor can be drunk as water, unless it is some special wine with extraordinary ingredients added.
It seems that the two of them have been well entertained these days...
It took Ren some time to get them to wake up.
After Leon woke up, he covered his red and swollen face with his hands, breathed in cold air and said:
"Brother, the way you woke us up was with two Dabi Dou?"
"Hiss, that's too rough, boy Ren, you almost knocked out my master's teeth."
The old goat covered his cheek with red and swollen slap marks and grinned in pain.
"Don't blame me, it's because you drank too much." Renn innocently spread his hands and explained.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, he did not deny it in his heart. It was quite satisfying to slap his teammates twice...
"You don't know how many banquets we have had in the past few days and how much wine we have been drunk on."
Leon complained and pulled out a large box from the corner, which was filled with various notebooks and letters, "These are private messages, invitations, please... there are hundreds of them, and I can't handle them at all."
We tried our best to attend the banquet, even using the levitation technique. We were forced to eat 37 meals in five days, drank so much that the sight of wine made us want to vomit, and ate so much that our tongues and teeth were numb.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the banquet, they will pick you up at your door.”
Renn: "..."
It sounds a little scary.
The old goat also blew his beard and glared, cursing and saying:
"Especially those who want to get married. There are too many people, just like flies. Do you know how many people have revealed their intention to get married to you during this time to Leon and me?
There are 5 princesses in Faloran alone!
Except for Princess Sophie, all the unmarried princesses, including Princess Irene, have expressed their desire to marry you.
In addition to a few princesses, there are 89 unmarried aristocratic ladies, at least all of whom are daughters of earls. I have no record of those below earls. There are too many, hundreds of them."
Renn: "..."
This time he really became Tang Monk’s meat.
"There are other countries too."
Leon picked up a few letters, looked at the addresses on them, and said excitedly, "This is sent with a black-feathered iron eagle. It is the daughter of Grand Duke Khalid of the Rowan Principality and the daughter of Marquis David of the Nokman Empire."
, the countess of Qiushan Kingdom...
There is also this letter, from the alien Kara people, the daughter of a certain barbarian king.
MD, that is the Western Wilderness of the Mainland. The westernmost point is more than 100,000 miles away from the Kingdom of Faroland... I really don’t know how the Barbarian King sent a private message to Faroland within five days."
Renn: "..."
Indeed, it is simply terrifying.
Even the Barbarian King's daughter wanted to eat Tang Monk's meat.
One can imagine how lively public opinion has been during the past few days when he has been in seclusion.
