Chapter 328

Fendal will never forget that afternoon in the early spring of 833.

It used to be an ordinary day. It was sunny and slightly cold. As always, he patrolled in the hall until dusk. He received the news that "there are distinguished guests visiting" at the gate of the city wall.

Naturally, the red haired knight, as before, was ready to go and guide him.

(count Radcliffe is visiting. He's looking for master Nostradamus - I think he's sorting out ancient books in the library of black swan palace.)

In his mind, he carelessly thought about his task, so fendal started towards the gate of the palace. For many years, his work has been like this. It is precisely because the guard knights are easy to see all kinds of important people that the family arranged him in the moreley palace.

Joshua van Radcliffe, the name fendal often heard recently, recalled some rumors about the name, he could not help but make his expression a little more serious.

Kuroshio, time and space gate, Dragon Slayer, devil... This is different from ordinary noble guests. If other people rely on their power or rich financial resources to make them cautious and dare not offend, Then Joshua undoubtedly relies on this extraordinary force to make people cautious.

"Golden high level in his twenties, ha ha.", When he arrived at the gate of the palace, fendal couldn't help laughing. Now he was almost 30 years old, and his strength was the peak of silver. Although he was nearly proficient in fighting, he still didn't touch the extraordinary barrier. Just like his cousin Brandon, the gap between people was so big that the red haired Knight didn't even have the heart to be jealous.

"There will always be some extraordinary people or things in this world, and I should learn to adapt."

He whispered to himself that before long fendal met the soldiers.

To be honest, when he first saw Joshua with his own eyes, he was a little disappointed.

This is just an ordinary man with black hair. He wears ordinary clothes and looks masculine, but it's not an impressive type, let alone the powerful warrior in the rumor. At first glance, fendal didn't even think that he was a great nobleman of count level. Although he was inspired by the breath, he knew that the strength of the man in front of him was really strong, But it's not shocking.

——Ordinary, it is too ordinary, even strong is just ordinary strong.

Of course, even if the image of the other side is far from his own imagination, the Red Knight will not show such disappointment. He still shows a warm smile and guides the way for the other side.

This is the work. Fendal knows very well that although the rumors will be exaggerated, he will never say anything for no reason. Joshua does not show strong pressure now, but who knows if it is the power of self-restraint? A lot of people like to do this, and he just needs to do his best.

Along the way, the Red Knight kept trying to talk to the soldiers, and his impression of Joshua gradually changed.

The count of Northland was very easygoing. He didn't look like the great mages. He regarded everyone as a fool. He didn't look like other great nobles. His speech and behavior all revealed his arrogance. Joshua's words were simple and direct. He didn't have arrogance or hidden deep meaning. He didn't need to think too much about words and worry about honorifics, All in all, it's very relaxed and pleasant.

——Maybe Joshua is such a powerful and relaxed person?

Fendal could not help but have such an idea in his heart, but he immediately found that he was wrong.

In the last aisle leading to the black swan palace, a group of church friars passed them by. The red haired Knight didn't care. The other side had been in moreley palace for two weeks. He even led them several times and was used to the existence of these church members.

But the fighters behind fendal don't think so.

He frowned and took a "serious" look at the friars.

Suddenly, the red knight felt his back close to a layer of ice. The cold feeling penetrated from the cortex, went straight to the bone marrow and pierced the soul.

Some trembled and looked back at Joshua. Fendal saw the tip of the iceberg behind the shadow and easygoing appearance of the warrior's true face.

At a glance, his red eyes, which seemed to see through everything, left an indelible mark in his heart. Just the light from the corner of his eye gave the knight an illusion that all his thoughts had already been seen through, whether it was the superficial humility or the wanton comments in his heart, There has been no secret for a long time.

In order to break the fear that was gradually spreading in his heart, fendal stepped back slightly. He took a deep breath and gently pressed his hand on the sword at his waist. The weapon gave the knight courage to force himself to speak."What's the matter? My lord

He tried to cover up the dryness of his throat and asked in a normal tone.

But Joshua didn't seem to care about the heart movement of the Red Knight. He just glanced at fendal carelessly, and then motioned him to continue to lead the way: "Why are there church people here?"

The words are also simple and direct, the tone is also easy-going and ordinary, that kind of spirit like glaciers and mountains disappeared in an instant, the black haired soldier returned to his ordinary form, changed back to the ordinary man who could not even see the noble atmosphere, just like a passer-by in the fog, unable to leave any deep impression.

But fendal did not dare to talk about each other's image in his heart any more. He did not even dare to think about anything else. He just answered Joshua's question with a very serious attitude, respectfully sent it all the way to the imperial Library of the black swan palace, and then... Almost could not wait to leave as soon as possible.

——No one would like to stay in the crater, standing on the edge of the cliff, even if this is a dormant volcano, there are railings on the edge, too.

It's irresponsible for your life.

"... he's gone a long way."

He walked slowly away from the black swan palace until he came out of the palace and made sure that he was really far away from Joshua. Fendal began to tremble. He grasped his arms, his teeth and body trembled like a sieve, and a cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Until then, he found that his back had already been soaked with sweat. For the existence of danger, the body's instinct was faster than the brain's reaction, but the knight did not notice this. For this, fendal was not dissatisfied. He was just sincerely glad that his performance was not disrespectful.

"It is true that the rumor is not false... This kind of pressure..."

But before fendal finished, he suddenly felt a shock on the ground.

It was as if the whole palace was shaking with the earth. The obvious vibration came. The maids around and the attendants in the Royal Library all looked up in panic. They scanned nervously from left to right and then looked at the earth.

"Earthquake?"

"It's impossible. This is on Sansheng mountain. How can there be an earthquake?"

Although the shock stopped quickly, everyone began to discuss. They frowned and were ready to leave the library. Fendal was no exception. He quickly stepped away from the black swan palace, but in the middle of the walk, two inexplicable breath were swept by a cool wind, and one of them was very familiar, This makes fendal look back in doubt and look at the stopped black palace. Beside the knight, the plants in the garden are blown by the cool wind, the flowers are closed, and the grass is curled up, as if in fear.

"Is it..."

Fendal muttered to himself, unable to believe his judgment.

In the black swan palace, magic circles light up one by one, and obvious ripples spread in the air, just like a turbulent lake. With the operation of the magic circle, invisible magic strengthens the buildings, stabilizing the slightly shaking hall.

On the first floor, in the no one's rest room, the source of all the vibration is still transmitting the aftereffect of power.

"Dimore, like your father, you like to know people with fists. Compared with the ruler, you are a soldier in the first place."

From the low and clear voice of the man, with a slight smile, we can hear that his master is at ease, as if he has not done his best: "this is a good habit. For a soldier, fighting is the embodiment of his life and will. It can completely represent a person's soul, at least more real than words."

"Yes, of course! Only the emperor of power... "

Another voice is not as easy as another person. What he says seems to come out word by word, but even so, he still spits out a complete sentence in a cold tone: "there's no way to live in this world for one night!"

At the end of the speech, the owner of the voice seems to have put in all his strength, no nonsense.

The fluctuation from the lounge is even greater. It even turns into a gust of wind, sweeping out the tables and chairs in the hall. The decorations and portraits in the corridor are also blown away by this force, rolling into the distance.

In the lobby of the rest room, two men can be seen sitting face to face at a table, their right hands clenching each other, as if they were pulling their wrists. The man with black hair has a relaxed posture. Except for the dark red fighting flame on his arm, there is no force fluctuation on his body, while the man with dark golden hair has clenched his teeth, Most of the fluctuation of power came from him. The light silver fighting spirit carried through the man's whole body, making the wind more chilly and colder."You should try your best at the beginning, or you won't have a chance."

The soldier with black hair, said Joshua. He looked at the second prince opposite him with great interest and explained patiently: "whether it's fighting or just playing, the general wrench wrist is like this. The enemy won't give you the chance to play slowly and then turn over with all his strength."

Beside him, Ying, who was a little bit far away, frowned strangely and said, "the master doesn't seem to talk so much nonsense. What's the matter?"

"I think I met someone I know, so I'm a little happy."

Lin shrugged: "he also talks nonsense for a long time when he talks to black people."

At this time, dimore fell into a bitter battle.

He came here just to see what kind of man Joshua, who is praised by Israel as a soldier who will become a legend, is. As a man who has volunteered to fight as a front-line Knight since his youth, and has survived to this day, dimore is naturally proud. No prince or daughter has ever had such experience as him, With his will, his determination is unshakable and can overcome everything.

In this regard, his father, the emperor Israel, also highly appreciated it. He once said that dimore was the only one like his real child, but even so, his majesty did not say the word "best".

This is the biggest regret for the second prince who is eager to be the strongest and do the best in everything, and now, this praise has been given to Joshua.

"Who is he?"

"Why did my father give this comment?"

"Is he better than me? Better than me, who came back from countless battlefields with fame? "

This idea has been lingering in dimore's mind, and a decision made by Israel in the celebration made him determined to see the power of the soldier who was rumored to be like a ghost. Even when he came to the library and was ready to calm down and read a few books, this idea was still lingering in his mind.

And just then, in order to find master Nostradamus, Joshua came to the library.

Destiny? Or God's will? Dimore didn't know and didn't care. The second prince of the Empire only knew that if he wanted to challenge, he couldn't suppress his fighting spirit now.

He challenged decisively.

And it turns out.

It's completely suppressed.

"Strong... Really strong."

The muscles in his arms swelled, and the cold air of light silver even blasted the right arm of his uniform. The air around him was as cold as winter. Layers of frost congealed on the ground and walls. Dimore's face was dignified. Looking at the expressionless and silent Joshua, he spat out a complete sentence from his teeth: "your age is like me, But it has the power to surpass me completely.... "

This kind of powerlessness is like the feeling of facing an unstoppable beast. I have experienced it before... When did it happen?

By the way, it was that time.

In this moment, dimore recalled his memories of the northwest plain years ago.

The bloody battle of the sad plain turned countless people into white bones and flesh.

Tens of thousands of violent orcs riding on stone horned rhinoceros cross the field with irresistible momentum. They wave flail and giant hammer in their hands and roar to turn all the fortresses, fortifications and obstacles they pass through into pieces. At that time, the dust is flying and turns into smoke that covers the sky, as if to swallow everything.

Dimore was at the forefront of the battlefield at that time, which was the worst situation he had ever encountered, the most dangerous battlefield. Countless stone rhinoceros knights were like a living siege vehicle, which could easily tear the defense line. The Imperial Army that was attacked did not even have a heavy equipment, which was completely unable to stop the orc's attack. Everyone could die at any time.

Now, it's the same.

The palm of the black haired soldier is like a galloping rhinoceros or a falling meteorite, full of irresistible power. Even if he tries his best, he can only barely maintain it, or even be pressed down bit by bit, unable to feel the whole body of dimore. He knows that he can't win the challenge.

Joshua's strength was comparable to a battle. Dimore didn't feel that he could beat the other side in fighting spirit, strength, skill, will, heart and determination. The soldiers didn't even use their full strength. They just used the strength just like him, and they used the skill little by little. At this time, the second prince suddenly realized, Although the strength of the other side seems to be only high-level gold, it's just a manifestation. Joshua's real strength may have exceeded that limit and reached a higher level!But he can't go back. Dimore is determined to lose completely even if he wants to lose. He also has a secret method that can stimulate his potential. Although it will cause great burden to his body, it may not be able to defeat Joshua, but this is the only way.

When the second prince of the Empire was ready to use the secret method, an old and steady voice came from the entrance of the lounge.

"Enough, you two."

This voice contains a trace of helplessness and anger: "this is the Royal Library, not a arena for you!"
