In winter, the sky always seems a little dark. Solitary birds fly south, and there are two chirps in the sky from time to time.
Frost City, located in Haibei Province, is in the southernmost part of the Sistine empire.
This is a clean town. Just like its name, it is in the state of frost and snow all year round.
In this bleak winter, it is even colder.
On the outskirts of luoshuang City, a large-scale building is located in the principle town. It is difficult to say what style it is.
As a result of the collision between eastern and Western cultures, the design of the courtyard is Gothic, and there is a statue of the goddess of morning support. The main buildings in the center seem to be out of tune with this era, just like the legendary temples in the lost era.
About 17 or 18-year-old boy, with a strong figure, sat on the wall of the courtyard and looked at the solitary bird in the sky. The cold wind blew on his cheek and his brilliant short blond hair, which seemed to stain a trace of wind frost on his eyebrows.
If you look closely, you will find that the youth's face and the part covered under his collar have inconspicuous dark blue. He was in a daze for a while and sighed..
Other teenagers passing by saw him sitting on the wall and gave an unfriendly greeting, "crane tail, why are you still in a daze? Do you want to continue to be beaten in the afternoon?"
Hearing the words of his peers, the boy looked a little unnatural. He jumped off the wall of the hospital, jumped to the other side and left in a gray way.
His name is clement Olal, the second son of the olal family.
There was once a duke in the orals' family, which was not hereditary, but later generations are still proud. In this generation, the current owner also has the title of marquis in the Empire and controls real power. He is a popular figure.
Clement is the young master of a big family if he is born, but he didn't enjoy the days of feasting and drinking in Wangdu. Instead, he was sent to frost city and came to this damn place when he was seven years old.
This building in the outer suburbs is not as simple as outsiders seem. Although it is a little dilapidated, each brick and tile has a history of thousands of years. It has always been a place for ChenYong church to secretly train talents.
Unlike those seminaries here, the children sent here will receive the best training from an early age, from fighting to learning the knowledge of the dark side. As for theology and general subjects, they have become the most secondary.
This is a place to protect the inheritance. There are only a few similar places in the Sistine empire.
Those who know the place of guarding inheritance know that at least a quarter of the super night watchmen in the Sistine Empire have stayed in these places and are the cradle of the morning support church to cultivate top night watchmen.
Children sent to such places are often given high hopes by the family, hoping that a person who really controls the power in the family can consolidate the power of the family.
But Clement didn't think it was a good place, because life was so difficult that it was more difficult than the life of the bitter friar mentioned in the Scriptures.
And he also knows a secret here. The real purpose of the so-called place of guarding inheritance is not to cultivate powerful night watchmen, but to cultivate a more important existence - guardians.
In each system of the morning support church, anyone who wants to contact the dark side will learn the corresponding knowledge and understand the division of the characteristics of night watchers. Most people who seriously study will know that some night watchers are very special.
That is the surveyors. Surveyors are born with strong spiritual resistance. After awakening, they have good strength and enter the country quickly. Many people eventually become super night watchmen, and even the case of the director of the religious inquisition, who has become the envoy level.
But the transcendent is familiar to everyone, but few people know another special existence, or even if they have heard it, they only think it is a legend.
The guardian is known as a person who will come in every era and is favored by the goddess of morning embrace.
It is said that as long as the guardian can grow normally, when he is an adult, he can directly accommodate the super weird origin and become the top combat force of ChenYong church.
Not only that, the guardian is so powerful that his unreasonable talent, or the talent given by the goddess, can make him integrate into the strange origin almost unlimited and reach the envoy level as quickly as possible.
The head of the inquisition has set a speed record from getting started to becoming a strong man at the envoy level, but the legendary guardians are much faster, and even at the envoy level, their strength growth rate will not slow down.
The only consolation for weird people is that guardians often don't live too long, and few can live beyond 50.
"Clement, you're late again. Reach out."
Clement wandered to the playground behind the courtyard and heard a reprimand.
Standing in front of him was an old yellow man with no hair and dressed in orange cloth. He was the manager of the land of inheritance. It was said that he had abandoned his surname and first name. Now everyone calls him master Yideng.
The old man's face is old, his body is thin, and his eyes are bright. He doesn't have the kindness of ordinary old people. He looks very strict. When he is stared at by those eyes, the young girls here will tremble.
Clement obediently stretched out his hands. Master Yideng took out a white ruler and hit Clement's swollen hand, which made him only breathe in pain, and his brain was no longer chaotic.
"After the lecture, I'll run 20 miles and come back before dinner, otherwise I don't have to eat dinner."
Master Yideng withdrew his ruler and asked Clement to stand in the line.
On the playground, there are more than 20 young girls. There are more teenagers, but it is also difficult for girls to distinguish here, because they all have short hair and wrap their breasts. After years of practice, they have some capable breath, and their skin is not much better in this bitter and cold place.
Among this group, Clement's origin is not the highest. The girl standing on his left, who is only a little lower than him, is said to come from a duke's family and ranks in the top three among the children.
As for himself, as the students just said, he belongs to the crane tail here.
Clement is not really very talented. He just doesn't pay much attention to anything, because he hates this place in the bottom of his heart, and he is not interested in becoming a night watchman.
Because he is an abandoned son of the family, from the moment he was sent here, he basically declared his status, just a shadow puppet.
He knows more secrets than ordinary people, so he suffers from it.
His sister... Is the real guardian.
When he was seven years old, the big man of ChenYong church came to the family and took his sister. In the same year, he came to this broken place.
Because the existence of guardians is very dangerous, both for those strange and mysterious objects and for the eternal church, they are eager to erase the existence of guardians, especially the latter.
Clement didn't understand it when he was a child, but he also studied politics here. He learned culture very well. He gradually realized that the church needed a shield as the first goal under the curtain.
He was sent to the place to protect the inheritance. It was not the people of the church and family who valued their talents, but came out to stop his sister.
Since he understood this when he was 12 years old, he no longer worked hard, because no matter how hard he worked and how good he got here, no one in his family would come to see him.
He has been removed from the list and may have been acquiesced to be a dead man.
His sister is now in a high position in the Holy See. It is said that she will be elected the only saint of the church this year.
Living a comfortable life in Wangdu, he is sought after by thousands of people and loved by his parents, but he has nothing.
There is only physical torture now.
"Hoo Hoo Hoo"
Clement's thoughts were flying in his mind and his breath was getting louder and louder. After the fighting class in the afternoon, he was still the worst performer, and he had to run 20 miles in 20 minutes.
The young people who study here have never been exposed to the strange origin, but have strengthened their bodies through constant honing. Therefore, this distance and time limit are not easy to do, although they are better than most imperial soldiers.
Clement is not an outstanding player among his classmates. This time limit is an impossible task for him, but he must run, otherwise he will always be more critical of his own master of light.
When we can't eat dinner, maybe we can't even sleep.
Running along the river bank in the suburbs, Clement suddenly saw a luxurious carriage running this way in the distance.
He didn't take it to heart, but the next moment he saw the family emblem stamped on the curtain of the carriage, his heart trembled.
On the bright red curtain was a silver unicorn, the family emblem of their orals.
Someone at home?
For some reason, Clement temporarily forgot the horror of master Yideng and stopped.
The carriage also stopped under the control of the coachman wearing paladin armor. On the wilderness, the cold wind blew on the boy's face and remained silent for a long time.
The knight got off the carriage and stood as straight as a javelin, as if he had been ordered by the people in the carriage.
A plain hand as white as jade stretched out from the curtain and lifted it slowly. The girl walked out gracefully and refused the help of the knight. For a time, the originally dark sky seemed to be dimmer because she looked pale.
The girl's seaweed gold spread on her shoulders. A pure white off shoulder dress with beautiful collarbone looming. The material of the dress is as white as transparent and slightly reflective, just like the wings of an angel, but it is not exposed at all.
The hem of the skirt is an arc from low to high, with an elegant micro canopy, revealing the girl's white and slender legs like jade, and the skirt corners are decorated with stars and diamonds, like countless beautiful morning dew.
Her forehead is decorated with a forehead representing the sun. The thin platinum chain makes the curly long hair look pure and beautiful. There is a sun diamond in the middle of her eyebrow. It is very beautiful and dazzling. The light seems to be alive and amazing like the sun.
The girl's eyes are as calm as the sea, and she has not been captured by the diamond in the center of her eyebrows. She is as beautiful as the legendary goddess born in Scripture. She is mysterious and pure. People can't wait to hold all the beautiful things in the world at her feet just to make her smile.
Clement was a little restrained for a time. He was still wearing a rag full of patches, and because he was too tired after being punished yesterday, he went to bed and didn't wash at all.
Damn it, it's clear that he is also of noble origin, but he is ashamed of himself in front of the people in front of him.
No, this is our family's car. Is it because after so many years, the family finally soft hearted to think of me and want to take me back, and the beautiful girl in front of me is her fiancee?
"Clement, you've grown up."
However, the girl spoke at the next moment, which made Clement a little stunned.
"Sister... Sister?"
He asked uncertainly. This is his sister Irina Olal, the freckled nuisance of childhood?
The beautiful blonde nodded with an expressionless face. "It seems that your memory is still so poor. From human bones, you should be able to judge what I look like when I grow up, just as I can recognize you at a glance."
Clement felt a little agitated. Fortunately, he didn't ask about what he had just thought in his mind, otherwise it was really
He made up his mind and just wanted to ask his sister how she came to frost city and whether it was related to him, but the voice of master Yideng came from a distance.
"Clement, you've missed dinner time."
When Clement turned his head, he saw master Yideng's strange steps in the wilderness. He crossed a distance of one mile in a few steps and came to him.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Master Yideng saluted the blonde with his hands folded.
"I just passed by and wanted to borrow a book collected here."
Irina replied in a flat voice.
"Well, please follow me."
Master Yideng said and looked at clement. "Keep running. You're still four miles away."
After that, Irina boarded the carriage again without looking at her own brother. Master Yideng led the way to the ancient building in the wilderness, leaving Clement messy in the wind.
He stood for a moment, feeling cold and ran against the cold wind.
What? I think too much.
…………
Wangdu, the residence of Duke Shangshan, in the oak white castle.
Someone finally got up slowly. Lu Chen looked at the light outside. It was close to noon. He had to say that he rarely got up at this point. It was extremely rare.
But we can't blame him. We can only blame the little daughter of Duke Shan's house.
Yesterday he was more than just a wanderer returning home. It was heaven.
After saying goodbye to Hua Liyi, he opened the window and jumped back to his own house while the people in the Duke's house were not paying attention.
Mingming came to find the wife he had married. How did it look like an affair?
He made an appointment with painted pear clothes to "meet by chance" in the church in the morning. The detailed business will be discussed in the library. At this point, painted pear clothes haven't got up and appeared. The servants of the Duke's house have knocked on the door for instructions several times for fear that their young lady is ill.
If he doesn't leave again, I'm afraid the old lord will come to visit his daughter.
