Volume 5 Prologue - Yes, Princess (1)
In a tavern in Constantinier, the capital of the Seven Hills Empire, a young man named Dust held a wine glass and talked endlessly about his great achievements under the attention of all the guests:
"...The timid pirates who were as timid as mice dared not fight me head-on, so they could only hide behind the city wall. But although they were frightened by me, the axe in their hands was tightly held. The pirate leader named "Snake Eye" was full of bad water, and he hid on both sides of the city gate passage. When I broke into the city, he jumped out and attacked me from the left and right sides at the same time. Their axe was as long as one person. If he was chopped down on his head, he would be chopped to the end with his helmet and split into two halves!"
Speaking of this, Dust deliberately stopped, drank the wine in the wine glass "gudu" and then shouted boldly at the tavern owner: "Go another glass!"
Dust came to Constantinier a month ago. He had beautiful blonde hair and a clear contour on his face. He was a very handsome guy. According to himself, he was born in a small noble family in the Almani Federation. Because he was the seventh son and had no right to inherit land. He did not want to work for his stupid brother, so he began to travel alone in the world, punish evil and save danger, and was given the title of "White Knight". Also according to him, he discovered some clues left by the previous pirate king and was looking for the world around the world that was buried by the pirate king.
Someone cheered down below: "Darst, you said so thrillingly, but I see your brain is pretty good. Could it be that the 'snake eyes' and 'white shirt' forgot to sharpen the axe?"
"How could it be? Their axes are very sharp. If they go down, a big pit will be smashed on the ground!" Dust said, "It's a pity that their opponent is me, the White Knight! I have seen through their conspiracy for a long time, so how could I just go in from the city gate like this? I immediately pulled the bow outside the city gate and prayed for Apollo's blessing. Under Apollo's protection, the arrow I shot directly through the city wall, shooting the "snake eye" hiding behind the city wall to death! Before the "white shirt" could figure out what was going on, I shot another arrow. Hey, he was lucky, and he only shot his toes and ran away!"
The crowd let out a laugh. Dust proudly drank the boss's newly brought wine, and his face turned red immediately. He walked to the corner of the wall to pick up the bow he placed there, and walked back to the middle of the tavern. The bow of the bow was coated with expensive paint, engraved with gorgeous patterns.
"Did you see it? This is the Apollo Sun God Bow! The arrow it shoots can penetrate, and at the same time, it has the ability to heal wounds. It was given to me by Apollo and gave me the protection!"
The magic system of the Seven Hill Empire mainly includes the protection of five gods: Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus and Cronos. Although there are far more than these five gods in the myth of the Seven Hill Empire, since these five gods correspond to the five planets in the sky, they are more likely to be perceived and the power obtained is stronger. Therefore, those who learn magic always choose one of these five gods first. Over time, other gods are excluded from the magic system of the Seven Hill Empire.
But in addition to these five gods, there are two gods who also have their corresponding objects in the sky. People rarely mention them, not because their protection is not strong, but because these two gods rarely give people protection, and their rarity even surpasses Zeus' protection, known as the protection of the king. These two gods are Apollo and Artemis, corresponding to the sun and the moon respectively.
Dust burped and said drunkenly: "The wonderful thing is still behind. The 'white shirt' ran away. I was about to chase him, but suddenly I felt something was wrong and quickly took a few steps back. Good guy, a big tree that needed twenty people to hug fell from the sky, and directly opened a big pit for the place where I was standing just now, and there was a person standing on the wood! It was the 'Triumph'!"
Many people asked below: "Who is the 'Triumph'? I haven't heard of it!"
"I don't know about the 'Trium'? It's been going crazy in the Almani Federation! It's a black dragon transformed into a human, with its roars of wind and its breath of fire! Unfortunately, her opponent is my White Knight..."
Dust raised his head high, and was about to tell how he bravely defeated the monster, but was interrupted by a voice below: "Dust! You are so brave, how did the green ball on your eyes come from?"
Dust subconsciously touched his left eye. Since he walked into the tavern today, everyone noticed the bruise on his eyes. Dust smiled awkwardly and replied, "Haha, no matter how brave the knight is, he can't stand the trip from the small stones on the ground. This was what I fell yesterday."
"I heard that this was beaten by Princess Anna's guards!" A guest laughed below, "I heard that you boy looked straight at Princess Anna and followed them two streets!"
Anna Cornelia Scipio, the daughter of the current Basceles Cornelius Scipio in the Seven Hills Empire. Although she is only fourteen years old this year, she is already a well-known little beauty.
Dust rolled his eyes: "Who said I was following? That was Princess Anna holding my hand! She loved me and kept saying that she wanted to marry me! Unfortunately, she was the princess of the Qiqiu Empire, and I was just a knight without inheritance."
As he said that, Dust pressed his heart with one hand and stretched forward with the other hand, reciting the poem: "Ah! True love is always a tragic fate! Princess Anna, why are you Sepia? Give up your father and abandon your name! I would like to swear to the moon and fill the empty name outside your body with my whole heart!"
There was another burst of laughter in the crowd. Of course, they knew that Dust was talking nonsense, and they could only listen to the stories at the banquet. With Dust's performance, they were eating and drinking, and not to mention being so happy.
The door of the tavern was suddenly knocked open, and a little girl about fourteen years old appeared at the door with a large package. Her figure was small and delicate, and she was shorter than Dust and had two heads. Her hair was as bright as the moonlight, wrapping her round face and big eyes, like a shell wrapped in pearls.
"Sir White Knight! Hurry up! Take me to elope!"
This slightly tender voice scared the guests to fall down the wine glasses in their hands to the ground.
