Behind the palace there is a small Royal Manor with artificial lakes and exquisite gardens. Unlike other parts of the palace, only the royal family members can come and go, even the servants can't enter.
From the Imperial Emperor Israel Diamond and his wife and concubines down, there are not many royal members, and there are only eight children in total. Among them, the eight princesses died in their infancy because of blood problems. After Israel was completely promoted to the legendary middle level, no descendants were born, so now there are only the eldest prince and the second prince, Three princesses, four princesses, five princesses, six princesses and seven princesses.
This is also a pity for the super strong. Because of their too strong power and the nature of life, it is difficult for them to combine with ordinary life to produce descendants. In history, only the first generation of the head of the blue sky Knights once had descendants with legendary medium level strength and a humanoid Golden Dragon. That golden dragon lady is also extremely strong, Otherwise, it will not be able to breed the offspring of both.
Because her younger sister died in her childhood because of the defect of the essence of life, now the seventh Prince is the youngest of all the descendants of the emperor. At this time, the boy with dark golden hair and sky blue eyes is practicing martial arts in a remote corner of the royal garden. He practices breathing, and his posture is meticulous, without any laziness.
It's late winter now. The leaves and branches in the manor are all white, like ice sculptures. The surface of the artificial lake is also frozen like a mirror. The cold in the frost like woods is threatening. If ordinary people come here for a walk, they will shiver, not to mention catch a cold. But the seventh prince, who is only a teenager, doesn't feel it, Even forehead because of exercise and constantly exude sweat, the whole body steaming.
Breathing and movement coordinate, mobilizing the energy operation in the body. The amazing heat turns into white steam and comes out from his head, like a column of smoke. In the middle of the exercise, he even feels a little too hot, so he impatiently tears off his clothes, revealing his strong and symmetrical body under the clothes, Smooth muscle lines inside the flesh and blood seems to have a layer of fighting light emerge, blocking the surrounding cold.
"Deng Deng Deng."
Seven Prince Alva originally wanted to continue to practice his breathing method, but he saw a small shadow not far away running towards him. The boy was stunned for a moment, then with a smile, he squatted down to catch the little tree man who seemed to have no brake and wanted to hit him. He whispered to the tree man with a violet flower on his head and said, "what's the matter? Is there any news for me from my mother?"
"Mutter, mutter..."
The little tree man made a lovely voice, which seemed illogical, but Alva seemed to understand it. He frowned slightly: "is that so? I see. I really need to think about it. "
The seventh Prince's dark golden hair, appearance and excellent physical quality are undoubtedly inherited from his emperor's father, while his ability to communicate with tree people is inherited from his mother. However, his sky blue eyes are neither like Israel nor queen Edna, which should be a blood change or a special ability formed after the day, After listening to all the words from the little tree man, Alva patted the top of the tree's head, then put it back, let it return to the garden and become a violet again.
"Count Radcliffe..."
The Royal Manor became quiet again, but the seven princes alone had no interest in continuing to exercise. The young emperor's son simply sat down on the snow, looked up at the sky, and murmured in a slightly envious tone: "another new legend..."
A few years ago, At the beginning, Alva, who accompanied his father, Israel, to work together and received the news from Nostradamus, envied the count of Beidi, who had the inheritance of sages and had been promoted from silver in just one year. At that time, when he was still young and immature, he thought that if he would pass it on to him, he would be able to do those things.
But a few years later, after some things, Alva clearly understood that his ability was not as high as he had imagined, and the soldier who had become a legend would never be a person relying on luck. No one could sublimate his life essence and become an extraordinary higher existence by relying on luck, Every strong man has his own unique excellence.
It's really a better person than yourself.
It was because he kept hearing the deeds of the count and other young masters in the palace that the seventh Prince kept on studying and practicing hard. With the help of the Royal resources, profound inheritance and the best teachers, Alva now has a silver level. With the arrival of the magic tide, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, which can be regarded as a silver level, Temper to the point of fighting. And his silver realm is different from ordinary silver. His strength is so deep that he can win even if he fights with several Knights of the same level.
But that's not enough.Compared with the count, even with the second prince, dimore, who had never met before.
Only three of the seven emperors' heirs are worthy of alvar's attention. Among them, the eldest prince is now commanding a province in the east of the Empire to exercise his political power. That is to say, he can break through the gold with the arrival of the evil tide. Although his strength is outstanding, and many nobles support him, but in terms of personal strength, The seventh Prince believed that he could completely surpass it in a few years.
The fifth emperor's daughter is addicted to painting and magic power technology. Now she is studying in guantian white tower in the eastern plain. She is also a famous painter there. It is said that her personal strength has reached a golden middle level or even a high level. With her mother's strength, the hidden power of the fifth emperor's daughter can not be underestimated. In addition, the group of powerful mage friends in the white tower, It's even a little bigger than the crown prince. Fortunately, the fifth daughter doesn't plan to go back to China to compete at all. She's devoted to the highest level of painting and the truth. throne? Don't disturb the princess to study the truth!
Some of the other princes and daughters traveled with some of the powerful members of the Royal School, while some stayed in the imperial capital, but they were mediocre in general.
Alva himself, with queen Edna and the family behind him as the backing, is no less powerful than his brothers and sisters, but his personal strength is a bit widened because of the age gap. Among the three people worth noting, even the prince who is not interested in martial arts, With the royal family's excellent blood, it has the power above the level of its peers. Compared with pure power, the five princesses, who pay more attention to knowledge, also have the strength of the golden middle class, not to mention that they have been honing in the army all the time, and they have the second prince with the golden peak strength since their return.
This is a world with extraordinary power. Sometimes, the power of one's own is far more important than the power behind it. Especially, the emperor of this generation started with war. Israel paid special attention to this.
The gap between silver and gold is desperate. Two people with the same talent and effort decide the outcome between them by time and luck. In terms of luck, Alva only knows that he is not bad, but not good. Time is on the side of dimore.
Now, the father is in good health, and his children don't have to fight, just like the young dragon won't fight for territory with his brother before his parents leave. But Alva, as a wise man, always thinks more. For example, if one day, as a legendary strong man who suppresses everything, Israel suddenly doesn't want to be an emperor and travels around the world, So what should they do with the successor reserve? No one will give up the position of emperor.
——The father loves all his children equally, so he doesn't love anyone.
Thinking of this, alvar shook his head gently. The young prince had already seen his father's plan, even more clearly than his mother. Israel didn't plan to appoint an heir at all. He sent the eldest prince to study government affairs, and let the five princes and daughters who like magic go out to study. The other princes and daughters do what they want to do with their own will. In this way, the future achievements of all people will naturally be different, and the strongest one is the next generation of emperor.
However, his father was particularly harsh on his second brother.
Thinking of this, alvar could not help clenching his fist. The boy closed his eyes and frowned.
Harsh treatment, in the royal family, does not mean suppression, but means higher expectations. It is precisely because of expectations and dissatisfaction that we will urge them to go through training. A legendary strong man, or the emperor's expectations, if not achieved, it's OK, but if we really let dimore finish his father's training, then can we really compare with him?
A wise man will weigh the pros and cons. Alvar is naturally a wise man. If he is not in the royal family, but in an ordinary big family, and wants to fight for the position of home owner, alvar naturally gives up. He knows his ability limit, so sometimes he takes a step back and has a big future. But the royal family is different. The seventh Prince knows that behind him are several great nobles, as well as his mother and empress. It is related to the interests of all of them to fight for the next throne. This is not something he can give up if he says to give up.
"It's true that worshiping a legendary strong man as a teacher is the only way for me to catch up with my brothers and sisters in personal force."
Thinking about the message from his mother, Alva pondered for a long time, then laughed in silence and shook his head: "but why does the count of Beidi accept me as an apprentice? Why, besides being a prince, can I have any advantage? My mother really thinks too much... I'd better be myself first, and then I'll think about the next thing. "
After finishing his thoughts, the young seventh Prince stood up again. He went back to the woods in the garden. Soon, the breathing method with wonderful rhythm and the sound of body breaking exercise sounded again in the garden.Time flies, a month's time is fleeting.
It's April 20, 835.
North, in the Lord's mansion, Joshua is preparing to leave for the imperial capital.
At this time, the spring thunder shook, and even the weather in Beidi began to warm gradually. The snow in the fields began to melt gradually. In some places, the farmers had begun to cultivate their fields to prepare for sowing. The workers in the expansion cities also started to work again, not to mention the warmer areas of the Empire. They resumed their work more than half a month earlier than in Beidi.
The arrival of spring also means the arrival of early spring celebrations. As the beginning of a year in essence, every year's celebrations need to be presided over by the Emperor himself. This is not a complicated ceremony, but a hilarious carnival. The most profound memory of many emperors' children's childhood is the annual early spring celebrations, They can always have a very full and happy day.
Of course, it may not be the same this time.
At this time, the scheduled date of the celebration was approaching day by day, but the atmosphere of the imperial capital was still very dull and depressing. Many nobles did not allow their children to go out, but stayed in the residence carefully and observed the surrounding situation carefully.
Of course, Joshua knew why. Although he was in the north, the news was not blocked. Of course, the soldier knew that Israel and Nostradamus had been missing for several months without any reason, and he had already guessed where they were at the moment he knew.
The fog of God, and the empty stargazer.
"If you think about it, it's still me."
Joshua stood in front of the mirror and asked Ying to draw out one suit after another. He didn't know what to wear, so he was happy to let the silver haired girl worry about him. Anyway, it didn't matter what he wore. Even if a legendary strong man wore armor, those nobles would naturally find a lot of specious explanations for him, However, since it looks better, it naturally looks better. After all, in addition to taking care of the emperor's face, he also represents the Radcliffe family.
"Why, master?"
At this time, Ying is constantly taking out all kinds of dresses from the wardrobe, and standing on tiptoe to depict on the soldiers. This magical girl, who once could not even change her magic clothes, has now become a master of clothing collocation under the influence of your maids. She mutters, "this is too frivolous," "this color does not match," "this is too thin.", At the same time, he asked his master curiously.
"When I told them about the real function of the fog of God, I knew that Israel would take Nostradamus to all the fog of God in the Empire to experience it."
Looking at the busy firefly, Joshua chuckled and said, "after all, he probably has mastered the mystery of divinity now. Observing the divinity of other gods is a means of his progress. As for the void Observatory, it should be related to master Nostradamus."
After all, it's the most obvious and vulnerable place in the space-time trajectory, and it's also the closest place to the great devil tide in the world of mccrolfe.
Thinking of this, the soldier looked at the still tangled firefly, shook his head, took a black dress and said, "this is it. I'm too gorgeous in other colors. This is more suitable for me."
"Oh, no, master, you've worn this color too many times. It's not fresh at all!"
Seeing that Joshua directly rejected the collocation she had been thinking about for a long time, the girl couldn't help wailing: "there's more time left. We can continue to choose more. For example, this silver gray armor style is very suitable for you... You're a legend, isn't it a problem to be late?"
"I don't have much time, my firefly. I want to go to the imperial capital early." After patting each other's head, Joshua kindly reminded: "the celebration will start at noon, and now it's ten o'clock in the morning. Brandon and wildany are waiting for me in the imperial capital. What they promised will be done, and the legendary strong man is not the reason for being late."
"But the more late a big man should appear, the better..." the girl murmured to herself, which sounded very unwilling.
But Joshua nodded, "you're right." He raised his head and looked up at the sky if he had a point: "the later the big guy comes out, the better."
But sometimes if you don't go early, you can't see a good play from the beginning to the end.
"I'm going too!"
But at this moment, there is a voice, from the ceiling.
3 Miss No.1's magic projection slowly fell from the mid air. The winged girl frowned, pinched the corner of the soldier's clothes, and said in a determined tone, "Joshua, I'm going too!""... of course I won't refuse, but how can you go?" In the face of No. 3 is extremely rare. It's better to say that since the meeting, the soldier will not refuse. In his capacity, even if you take Archbishop atannis with his apprentice outside the Lord's mansion, let alone one more person, he is a little strange: "do you want me to take your noumenon? It's a bit dangerous. "
"It seems you forgot... Of course not!" I don't know why, the voice of No. 3 became a little sullen. The delicate magic projection like a real person dissipated quickly, leaving only a sentence in the air: "I'll be right here!"
Qiao Xiuya and Ying look at each other. At this time, Lin, who hears the news, leans out half of his face from the study. They are all a little puzzled, but the black haired boy says in a soft voice: "this... What Miss No. 3 said should be" come back right away? "
Just now, people don't know if there was a mistake in the grammar of AI. But then, with the exclamation of the maids downstairs, the sound of heavy and dull steps came closer to the second floor step by step.
"Boom! Boom! Boom
The roar of steel and the lament of obsidian floor are playing together. In the shocked eyes of Shenji brothers and soldiers, the steel girl who weighs 2255kg (and some other devices are attached) appears in front of everyone. Where she passes, the stone slab is broken and the stairs are cracked, The whole Lord's mansion was in a mess from the basement to the second floor.
"Joshua, this is your present for me."
Hum a smile, petite but full weight of No. 3 control their own steel body, arms in front of her chest, she said with a smile: "I'm a little tired of Beidi, take me to the emperor you have been talking about to have a look!"
