Chapter Thirty-Nine: Anan Ke, Goddess of Inevitable Destiny
"Uncle Kyle, what do you think Nidia likes about me? There should be nothing likeable about me before!"
Hearing Clemont's question in the carriage, Kyle, who was sitting on the back of the flame dragon, grinned.
"Hahaha, you are really a blockhead. Does a woman need a reason to like you?"
Hearing this, Clemont nodded silently. Car, house, money, which one is not a reason?
"Moreover, don't you remember that after Simmons died, she was considered an unknown person by Simmons' family, and they once wanted her to be buried with Simmons. The Viscount and I were not around at that time, but you stepped forward to stop them.
This should be considered a reason!"
Hearing Kyle's sad words, Clemont also felt a little sad.
Nitya is such a stupid woman. If she had been like this in her previous life, she probably wouldn’t have been able to eat wild vegetables!
The carriage traveled farther and farther on the plains of Curthorn...
In the carriage, Clement, who was holding a copy of "Explanation of France", was reading it with gusto.
According to legend, France was the place where the first six righteous gods lived, so the continental plate was divided into six parts, and the continent where the Ota Empire was located was named Ananke.
Anan's real name is the Goddess of Inevitability, who controls all destiny in the world. Destiny can be broken, but destiny must be observed.
Looking at the introduction in the book, Clemont touched his chin.
It sounds so powerful, and I don't know if this inevitable goddess named Ananke will be able to discover that I am an alien.
Then Clement continued to read Ananke.
It was not until dusk that Clement stepped out of the carriage with a tired look.
At this time, the soldiers of the Eagle Knights had set up camp, and fragrant beast meat was roasting on several fires.
"Uncle Kyle, I have a question. Since the Ota Empire is the only country in the Ananke continent, why doesn't the Ananke Temple exist?"
After walking to Kyle and sitting down, Clemont turned around and asked.
Hearing this, Kyle handed the roasted animal meat to the soldier on the side and said with a smile.
"Goddess Ananke is not like the other five righteous gods. She believes that everything is determined, so it doesn't matter whether there is a temple or whether there are believers. However, although the Aota Empire does not have the existence of the Aknan Temple, its believers do.
Across the entire continent.”
When Clemont heard this, he nodded clearly. As expected, all those who practice metaphysics like to do this.
After asking a few more questions, Kyle stuffed his mouth with a large piece of roasted meat.
"I didn't study well before, but now I'm asking here and there. You're going to the Royal Knights Academy for further studies this time. If you have time, go to the Imperial Library and have a look. The old scholars there should be happy to answer your questions."
Seeing Uncle Kyle's serious words mixed with anger, Clemont couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Tch, if you don't know, you don't know. I won't laugh at you, why are you so fierce!"
A night of silence.
The next day, cheers in front of the camp broke the early morning tranquility.
"Haha, good job, Lord Baron, that's it! Fuck Bob to death!"
"Bob, are you good at it? Are you a high-level knight? You can't even beat the Baron, a low-level knight, and you still have the nerve to brag in front of us!"
Listening to the boos and ridicules of his companions around him, Bob's face turned red as he was pressed and beaten by Clemont. Then, while facing Clemont's continuous attacks, he said: "Baron, don't forget it.
Well, I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I try my best!"
Hearing Bob say this, the jeers around him became even louder.
"Haha, no need, just come. If you can hurt me, I will give you ten gold coins!"
Clemont chuckled lightly, but the thunder fighting spirit on the long sword became even more violent at this moment.
When Bob heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. These were ten gold coins, enough for him to spend dozens of times at the Mao Tail Tavern!
By the way, the Cat Tail Tavern is the largest foreign exchange club in the Ota Empire. It has animal-eared cat girls, sea clan clam girls, and feather clan banshees. The service quality is not to mention, and its branches are open all over the country.
the entire continent of France.
"Really? Then I'm not welcome!"
After saying these words, Bob's figure suddenly turned into a ball of strong wind and rushed straight towards Clemont.
When Clemont saw this, his eyes became sharp, and he swung the sword in his hand faster.
The collision of thunder and strong wind made a huge sound when they met in the air.
The next moment, a figure flew back, with only one hilt left of the fine iron sword in his hand.
"Haha..." Seeing Bob's embarrassed look, the crowd around him burst into laughter.
Ignoring the laughter around him, Bob turned sharply in mid-air, and the next moment he turned into a gust of wind and flew toward Clemont again, punching Clemont in the abdomen.
Clemont, who had entered the state of knowing the sword and breaking the sword, had already seen through his actions. When Bob was approaching, he kicked him in the abdomen with lightning speed and knocked him to the ground.
The latter did not stand up again after falling. He just covered his face with his hands and accepted the ridicule from around him.
"Advanced swordsmanship! When did he learn advanced swordsmanship?"
Even though Kyle, who had been watching Claremont grow up, he couldn't express the shock in words at this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the waves were overwhelming.
Clemont resisted the feeling of weakness in his body and walked over to pull Bob up.
"Haha, let's call it a draw this time. I was lucky enough to beat you because I took advantage of the weapons!"
It's not that Clemont is being modest, but this competition is really unfair. He is using the fine-grade long sword that Kyle gave him. For these are just ordinary-level standard weapons, fine-grade
The long sword is indeed not enough to look at.
Secondly, it is also my own problem, because within a few moves, I triggered the advanced sword mastery state of knowing the sword and breaking the sword, which was of no help to Clemont who wanted to improve himself.
Moreover, although Zhijian Pojian is powerful, it has serious drawbacks. If time passes, he will have no fighting power. If Bob continues to attack him just now, he will definitely not be able to sustain a few attacks.
And this can be regarded as the price of gaining strength! This disadvantage will only disappear after the advanced swordsmanship is promoted to the master-level swordsmanship.
After Clement returned to the carriage, the Eagle Knights set off again, while Clement, who was in a weak state, fell into a deep sleep.
At night, after sleeping all day, he was awakened by the noise coming from outside the carriage.
"Uncle Kyle, where are we now?"
Hearing Clemont's words, Kyle returned with a smile: "We are now in the city of Ilya. This is the territory of Viscount Claire Adolf, and it is a well-known slave city!"
At this time, Clemont also poked his head out of the carriage window.
But the next moment he was attracted by the novel scene in front of him.
