However, the potholes, rubble on the ground, and the crumbling walls were full of cracks and dents, proving how intense the previous battle was.
"Kate, are you okay?"
After applying the sealing rune, Kesha put away the silver-gray ring containing the "Headless Horseman" in her hand. She looked at the stupid king with her beautiful eyes and asked with slight concern.
Artoria shook her head, apologetic in her tone:
"I'm fine, but I'm sorry, the training room has been damaged."
The round of fighting just now caused serious damage to the basement of the villa. The medium-sized spirit gathering array arranged in the training room was half destroyed and temporarily unusable.
In fact, if it weren't for some defensive runes carved on the walls and ground here, they would have collapsed long ago.
"It's okay, as long as you're not injured." Kesha stretched out her hand to lightly touch her hair, with a gentle smile on her pretty face.
In the past few days, she had confirmed that there was no "adultery" between Kate and Ren, so she was still very polite to Ren's cousin.
The stupid king lowered his head slightly and said a little guiltily:
"The practice room is broken, won't it affect your practice?"
"It doesn't matter, just change to a villa. I still have an apartment nearby." Valkyrie said that she was not short of money.
To a certain extent, before Ren became successful, he had always been supported by her.
Rich people.
A certain poor knight king was speechless for a moment. After a moment, there was some doubt in her eyes: "Kesha, what happened to that... cursed spirit just now?"
Perhaps because he felt that he had just gotten into trouble, Daimao Wang's fair little face turned slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.
"It should be the aura of the Holy Power that stimulated the cursed spirit. The Holy Power is very capable of restraining spiritual bodies." Kesha raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a slightly helpless tone, "If he was willing to throw away the ring, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
.”
Although she is Ren's woman, he is very independent and there are some things that she cannot control.
King Da Mao's lips parted slightly. She actually wanted to ask Kesha what a curse spirit was, but she held back in the end.
She had just arrived in this world and didn't know much about anything. As a high-level transcendent, it would be easy to arouse suspicion if she showed ignorance of common sense.
Seeing the taciturn look of King Da Mao, Kesha didn't take it seriously. Ren's cousin seemed to be very "cold" and rarely spoke, so she was used to it.
Valkyrie took the hand of King Dumao and walked upstairs. She took the initiative to chat for a few words, told her not to mind, and checked her body to make sure she was not injured.
Unlike her cold and domineering attitude during battle, Kesha usually appears gentle and considerate.
However, King Da Mao had just seen how she was a fierce devil with a hammer, and knew that the gentleness of the Valkyrie was only for a few people.
No wonder Ren said that most of the time, Kesha has a bad temper, is strong, domineering, and ruthless... Valkyrie is not a self-proclaimed one, but an evaluation given by the outside world.
Especially in the eyes of the demon descendants, apart from the unreasonable mad dog of the Church of Light, the "Holy White Sword" Michelle, among this generation of human extraordinary beings, the Valkyrie is the most enthusiastic about killing and fighting.
………
The huge moon wheel hangs in the sky, the stars are arranged under the dark curtain, the cool night breeze sneaks in from the window sill, and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind is intoxicating.
In the lobby on the first floor of the villa.
Da Mao Wang took a bath, put his golden hair up, put on a plain white dress, and sat in front of the dining table.
"As long as you're not hurt, I brought you special delicacies." Under her expectant gaze, Renn placed a wooden lunch box on the table.
He had just learned that the "Headless Horseman" ran out of the ring and had a fight with King Dumbun. Fortunately, he was not in danger and was finally suppressed by Kesha.
"Ren, what's the origin of that cursed spirit?" Artoria stretched out her little hand and moved the lunch box in front of her.
"The cursed spirit is called the 'Headless Horseman'. It has been rampant in the Pugni Plain for hundreds of years. He was a Kangao man when he was alive. He studied the knight profession at the Kingdom's Wisteria University and met the daughter of a marquis...
…”
Lane recounted the origin of the Headless Horseman.
He had met the 6th Marquess of Thornton, and knew that the poignant love story that had been circulating on the plains for hundreds of years was not just based on rumors, but had an inside story.
It is not just a simple love story, it involves the power struggle of an indigenous tribe, the confrontation between the two ideals of tradition and the courage to pioneer, and the collision of the extraordinary career path and the totem path.
King Daimao listened to this story carefully, but she didn't understand much about love and didn't resonate much with it.
"Well, he obviously has a head? Why does the world call him the Headless Horseman?"
Thinking of the most obvious feature of that fierce ghost, which was the head with disheveled hair and a simple gilt mask, Arturia was a little speechless.
Ren chuckled and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed:
"Because people don't want to believe that a bandit's name is Mu Zhi, people are more willing to believe that his name is Mazi, and people especially want to believe that his face should be pockmarked!
There is no wife in the wife cake, and there is no pockmark on Zhang Mazi’s face. Is it strange that the Headless Horseman has a head?”
King Da Mao: “…………”
Thinking of that terrifying ghost, Artoria was speechless.
At first, the evil ghost was called the "Headless Horseman" because of rumors that he was beheaded before his death.
But he has been roaming the plains for hundreds of years, and many people have seen his appearance, but most people still call him the "Headless Horseman".
"I'm starting." Without thinking too much about the cursed spirit, as eating was more important, King Da Mao opened the food box.
A strong aroma came to your nose, and there was a leg of a poultry inside. It was golden in color, delicious in texture, and full of aroma. Just looking at it greatly increased your appetite.
The girl picked up the knife and fork and couldn't wait to take a bite. The tender, juicy meat made her eyes shine:
"What is this, a chicken leg? It doesn't look like it, it's so delicious."
"This is Sha Diao's meat, one of my favorite delicacies." Ren crossed his legs and leaned lazily on the sofa.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sand sculpture?"
"That's right, the sand sculpture, scientifically known as the desert eagle, is a kind of eagle-like exotic beast. The individuals are generally elite level (second level). Within the kingdom, they can only be found on the Pugni Plain."
Ren recalled his first experience of going to the plains, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
He, two cowboys, Susanna and Garcia, escorted the caravan to Orange Town. Along the way, they were attacked by a group of sand sculptures, and he shot one with a Force firearm.
Then the sand sculpture got into everyone's stomach.
At that time, he was still very weak, doing things to make money, buying training resources, fanning flames, and extorting money... In the blink of an eye, he was Sir Ackerman, a temple-level master.
"At that time, the sand sculpture was really just a kind of sculpture, the chrysanthemum was just a kind of flower, and 2B was just a kind of pencil..." Renn pretended to express his feelings for the lost youth.
King Da Mao couldn't understand what he was lamenting, but he was very curious about the Pugni Plain.
"Ren, Pughny Plains, is it chaotic?"
The girl has heard too much news there, including the Gun Ghost entering the Holy Land, the Feast of Gluttony, Prince Milo... and her target──Ghoul Duke Tucker is also there.
"Yes, gold diggers, gangsters, native Kangao people, demons, mercenaries, speculators, headless horsemen, exotic beasts, red heart grass, wind potion... a mixture of fish and dragons, as chaotic as you want, back then...
"
Thinking of the simple folk customs of Xiangcheng Town, Ren's lips twitched.
He had incited the people in the town to deal with the ghost-hand Marcello and his Skeleton Gang, and there was a scene that he still remembers vividly.
While robbing the Skull Gang's property, there was an old lady in her seventies, an ordinary person. She took the lead and rushed into a gang member's home with a kitchen knife, picked up a wooden box and ran away...
Ren told some things about Orange Town to King Da Mao.
Including a generation of tycoons, the ghost-hand Marcello was raped by others, and he kidnapped hundreds of people and gave them to the ghouls as food rations, and helped the demons hold a "Gluttony Banquet" in exchange for the demon's blood to transform himself into a demon...
Arturia listened with rapt attention.
Coupled with today's experience of fighting a fierce ghost, the girl gradually realized that the world was more chaotic and dangerous than she imagined.
Only big cities are orderly. The more prosperous the place, the more powerful humans live there and the safer it is.
However, this is not necessarily the case elsewhere.
Weak countries, under-appreciated cities, especially those rural towns, remote mountain villages, or wilderness... often hide blood-sucking demons, life-seeking demons, necromancers who do human experiments, and bloodthirsty...
Werewolves, ghosts and other dangers exist.
"Ren, I really want to fight! Fight vampires, werewolves, demons, devils, necromancers, etc.!"
The girl clenched her little fists, looking eager to try.
"Then you study hard. In more than a month, I will take you to various cities, especially small towns full of strange stories, to see all kinds of ghosts and monsters."
Renn smiled. In fact, the daily work of most demon hunters is to travel to various troubled towns and villages, or chaotic cities, to carry out demon hunting activities.
People like him who go around making trouble are "not doing their job properly".
As a master demon hunter, he is actually very incompetent. He has not learned many professional skills and professional abilities, such as making props, setting traps, tracking demons, etc.
Most of the time, he would rush up and kill someone with a knife.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"
Artoria's eyes were piercing, and she actually wanted to see what kind of creatures the devils were.
Ren nodded upon seeing this, took out a few pieces of silver paper from the storage ring, and handed them to King Da Mao:
"There are some things I can let you know in advance. This world is not simple."
Artoria took these strange papers with a confused expression.
When she was told that this was a note left by David, the "Sun King", her expression became solemn.
Even though she has only been in this world for less than a week and has only read a few history books, she still knows very well what the Sun King means in this world.
The first sentence of "General History of the Mainland":
It is the sun that shines through the endless night; it is knowledge that lights up the road to civilization.
In the ancient dark era, scholars of the natural school opened up the path to transcendence, and the Sun King led mankind to break away from the rule of demons. From slaves to one of the overlords of the continent, he stood on an equal footing with demons, vampires, etc.
David Floris Feuerbach, the name of the Sun King.
He is the strongest man in the third era of mankind. He has killed more than one dark prince, and even more dark princes died in his hands. There are more than a dozen recorded.
Artoria wiped her mouth with a napkin, her eyes filled with curiosity, and began to read the Sun King's notes.
“July 5, 162 (Third Age).
I spent two days exploring the newly discovered secret realm No. 09. The rules inside are very interesting and seem to exclude all incompatible areas.
The environment of each secret realm is different from the outside world. Some differences are small and similar to the realm of Dacheng; some are very different and very confusing.
According to the teacher, the secret realm may have been accidentally opened up by some strong demons. As a place of sleep, it is more likely to come from the original day.
He even had a crazy conjecture that these secret realms might be fragments of other worlds, which is why the rules are so different..."
"Secret Realm?" Artoria was stunned, looked at Ren on the side, and asked, "What exactly is the Secret Realm?"
"Some of them are world fragments, coming from other worlds." Renn sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of red wine. "There is a secret realm in the Kingdom of Faloran, which will probably be opened in July or August next year."
King Da Mao nodded and continued reading with great interest.
"On June 2, 187, I unexpectedly encountered Samael, the Lord of the Soul Fire Clan, in the Canglan Mountains. I fought with him and severely wounded him, but I was unable to kill him, which is a pity.
I found that his flame power is very special, far beyond the ordinary soul fire clan. It can not only burn the physical and mental, but even the soul, which is a bit tricky.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to the research of the natural school mages, the demon clan is the clan closest to the origin of darkness. I can also feel that the monarchs of this clan are indeed very extraordinary.
.
Fortunately, someone as powerful as Asmodeus, the Lord of the Dark Tribe..."
The expression of King Da Mao is very serious, and she also knows that the Dark Lord is an existence that stands on top of the world.
The Dark Lords are all sleeping, and if one wakes up, it will be a catastrophe.
"During the golden autumn holiday, I don't think Samael's appearance in the Canglan Mountains is a coincidence. Before, someone discovered the whereabouts of the Bone Lord Andel here. I asked Carlo (Blue Sword Master) to keep an eye on this place.
Sure enough, today, the Abyss of Heaven appeared, and the fluctuations of the spiritual energy tide swept hundreds of miles around. The mages were very excited. They said that this was a scene that had happened in the first days.
I saw my teacher again. He seemed to be arranging something for me to attract the attention of the devil.
The dark tide fell, and I sensed that Vladimir, the leader of the Sirius clan, had fallen. It should have been designed by the teacher to kill him..."
…………
The notes contain a lot of content and are very messy.
King Da Mao was reading with great interest while asking Ren questions from time to time.
Especially the mysterious teacher made her very curious. Unfortunately, Renn didn't know the name of Teacher Sun King, he only knew that he was from the Natural School.
After reading for almost an hour, Artoria finally reached what Ren wanted her to read.
"On this day, our people discovered two new secret realms that were on the verge of being broken. For the first time, we found humans from another world in the secret realms... Unfortunately, they all died."
"In one of the secret realms, most of the people had yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair... The corpses in the other secret realm were mostly blond and white-skinned. It was difficult for us to decipher their writing and culture until the mages...
…Now it’s time to call the scholars, they’ve found a visitor…”
"The translation has come out, which is really good news. It can be confirmed that some secret places really come from other worlds!
In the first secret realm, those people with yellow skin and black hair have very interesting culture and ideas.
The human body and the sky are one, etiquette and morality govern the country... There are also some bizarre legends, such as the giant god splitting the sky and the earth with an axe, the goddess using stones to block the holes in the sky, the giant chasing the sun, and the sparrow filling the sea..."
"Well, I have a little difficulty understanding their thoughts and culture, but the scholars are overjoyed and think that this is not only a valuable treasure, but can also be used to deduce the third way..."
"In the second secret realm, the cultures of those blond, blue-eyed and white-skinned humans are quite similar to ours."
"The legends of temples, knights, noble lords, and dragon-slaying warriors... these are all easy to understand, especially the king who pulled out the sword from the stone. He and the knights discussed matters on a round table, which meant equality... I am very
Love this story.
It just so happens that many people divide the knights in the fourth stage into two levels.
I have decided that a master who does not have the prototype of a domain is still a Knight of the Golden Rose (beginner to mid-fourth level), and a master who has developed a prototype of a domain (high level to fourth-level peak) might as well be called a Knight of the Round Table."
"What?!"
King Daimao's eyes gradually widened, with a look of disbelief on his face.
