Chapter 473 Disillusionment and Rebirth

"If I had a pair

wings like angels
i will follow you

Fly to the distant Arak grassland

in the fragrance of the prairie

leaning on your warm shoulders
Watch the intoxicating sunset in the west”

In the resplendent hall, a young girl was singing with a small qin in her hand.

The melodious sound of the piano is like a stream of clear water, slowly flowing from her white jade-like fingers, blending with the sound of nature pouring out from her lightly parted vermilion lips, bringing the guests in the hall to the grassland at dusk, In the warm embrace of the setting sun, I listened to the whispers of a young girl in Huaichun to her lover.

The well-dressed nobles and wealthy businessmen who surrounded girls and young women and tried their best to please women with elegant and humorous words fell silent, and the girl's singing seemed to calm the urge to hunt in their hearts; The women who tried their best to show off their attractive curves were also awakened by the singing to their fantasies of pure love, and their faces showed the sadness of the beauties who are late.

In the fireplace, the fiery red charcoal made a crackling sound, splashing a few sparks from time to time, and the hall was immersed in the warmth of spring.War is a disaster for civilians, but it does not affect the peaceful life of nobles.A change of regime cannot affect the privileges of the nobles.

Christine leaned against the wall and watched the singing girl quietly, her eyes fascinated.

"Do I like her person, or do I like her singing voice?"

The red wine glass was slowly turning in his hand, but Christine couldn't think of the answer. He only knew that from the first time they met, his heart was beating violently for her.

The girl in front of her had a beautiful appearance, a tall figure, and sky-like blue eyes. Against the backdrop of a white evening dress, she was as pure as a lily that just bloomed.There is a vermilion beauty mole in the middle of her forehead, like the finishing touch of a magic hand, adding endless charm to her.The girlish style flowing between the eyebrows is just like the dewdrops on the petals, bringing her beauty to life immediately and illuminating the whole hall.

The music stopped, the girl put down the violin, looked around the hall with a smile.

There was a burst of warm applause in the hall.

"Miss Biss, can I have another song?" Someone murmured loudly.

"Okay, let's have a good aftertaste first!" Someone laughed and cursed and interrupted the muttering.

"This song is to thank everyone for coming to my birthday reception, thank you! Everyone please do your own thing!" Bisi bowed to the guests, turned around and handed the qin to the hand of the maid, and then gently raised her voice. raised his hand.

The music started again, and the maids, like butterflies wearing flowers, carried food and wine plates to and from the venue, presenting the guests with the hospitality of the host.

The hall became lively again.

At this moment, a knight dressed as an attendant walked into the arena and said loudly:

"Sorry to delay everyone for a moment, please be quiet!"

The eyes of the guests immediately focused on the knight.

"Today is Miss Bess's birthday, and my master, Viscount Christine, has a special gift for her."

After the knight finished speaking, he retreated to Christine's side.

"Oh my God, he is Viscount Christine, the heir of the Robert family!"

"The head of the Knights Templar of the Kingdom!"

"Isn't he in the capital, why did he appear here!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the hall, and people looked at Christine with surprise, admiration, awe, and envy.

From the beginning of the reception, this mysterious young man attracted some people's attention, because at such a family gathering, few people would wear formal knight uniforms.And Christine's handsome appearance, good upbringing, and elegant manners made many people secretly speculate that he might come from a high-ranking noble family.

But these people didn't expect that he was the heir of the Robert family, one of the three most powerful families in the kingdom, and the head of the Holy Light Knights, Viscount Christine.

Christine took off the gorgeous dagger hanging from her waist, smiled and walked straight towards Bisi who was stunned in the field.

He has long been used to the various eyes cast on him, and he doesn't care at all. He only has the woman he likes in his eyes.

Christine came to Bisi, knelt down on one knee facing her, raised the long sword above her head with both hands, and said solemnly:

"Beautiful Miss Bess, I, Christine Robert, hereby swear to you: Miss Bess Rotesman is the most beautiful and virtuous lady in the world, and I will always praise her beauty and virtue, in any Always be loyal to her under any circumstances, until death. Please use your kindness and wisdom to grant me the honor of protecting you!"

After Christine finished speaking, she waited quietly for Bisi's answer.

The hall was also extremely quiet.

Christine's behavior has brought a strong shock to the audience - not because of his confession, but because it all happened so suddenly.

The oath of knights originated from the ancient customs of knights in the continent of Standing—these customs passed down from generation to generation are regarded as the rules and norms that noble knights should follow.According to tradition, a full-grown noble girl can have her own knight, and young knights will also look for their own mistress.

This tradition has a strong romantic color: a girl accepting the oath of a noble knight means that she accepts him as her only suitor, and the knight has to face the challenges of all suitors and defend himself with a sword in his hand love.

Bisi sighed softly, took the dagger from Christine's hand, and tapped it on his shoulder.

Her hands trembled a little.

Then she took off one of her gloves and handed it to Christine along with the short sword.

Christine took the glove with great respect, kissed it, and said: "I will put it in my helmet, and anyone who dares to touch it will be in trouble!"

Afterwards, he took Bisi's hand and kissed it before standing up.

The solemn expression on his face disappeared, replaced by infinite joy.Holding up Bisi's glove, he loudly asked the field: "Whoever has any objections, I will accept his challenge!"

The men looked at Christine obsequiously, with flattering smiles on their faces.The women looked at Bisi enviously and sighed for her luck.Several young nobles who liked Bisi lowered their heads in disappointment, avoiding Christine's gaze.

Christine laughed, pleased with the reactions of the people.

"I have objections!"

At this moment, an angry voice came from the door of the hall.

Raymond's figure appeared.

"Please allow me to introduce a guest from far away!" Viscount Jon stood beside him and introduced with a smile on his face. "This is an excellent hunter from Quake Town, Mr. Raymond!"

"Oh my god, this hunter has objections!"

"Hunter? Oh no, I think it might be an actor invited by Viscount Jon to add to the fun!"

"To be honest, this guy looks good!"

"I don't know if you are as ferocious as a wild beast when you fight for your life?"

The guests talked about it in a hurry.

Raymond's world was peaceful.

His ears cannot hear anyone's words, and his eyes cannot see the presence of others.

bess.There was only Biss in the stand, the lover who had opened his heart.

The first memories, bit by bit, are often engraved in the bottom of my heart by pure feelings and become eternal that can never be erased.

He remembered that when he shot the ice wolf that hurt her with an arrow, she was frightened and cried bitterly in his arms.The next day he went through the entire forest and skinned the hapless ice wolf that caused the trouble.

He remembered that when she was recovering from her injuries, he fed her medicine one mouthful at a time, like coaxing a child.She frowned at the bitterness of the medicine, and the heart of the cold-blooded hunter softened like wax when it was heated.

He remembered that he sat on the grass with her watching the sunset, she sang softly in his ear, and the singing made the sunset intoxicated.When the moon came out, he hugged her and circled on the grass, her silvery laughter filled the evening wind with warmth.

He still remembered that when he saw her wearing Eve's dress and busy in the yard, he even imagined that if she could become his wife and be an ordinary hunter for the rest of his life, he would also be happy.

The memory finally freezes in a fragment:
She was waiting for him to go home at the intersection outside the town, and he held her hand with a smile: "It's nice to have you waiting for me!"

He saw her off at the intersection outside the town, and she cried and took his hand: "I will wait for you, remember!"

The eyes of Raymond and Bisi were entangled in the air, but gradually they felt heartbreaking.

"Beth, do you like me?"

Raymond ignored Christine and asked Biss in an almost desperate tone.

The words of the young hunter caused many gentlemen with glasses to lie on the ground looking for fragments of their own glasses, while the women, like goldfish out of water, opened their mouths wide and kept beating their flat or high chests.

"Is he the hunter who saved you?" Christine asked softly in Beth's ear.

Bisi came back to her senses, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she moved from Raymond to the floor of the hall.

Raymond felt himself standing on the edge of a cliff.

He believed that Bisi would reach out and pull him back who was about to fall into the abyss.

"No, Raymond, I think you misunderstood! However, I am very grateful that you saved me! Thank you!" Bisi shook her head, said lightly, and pushed him down mercilessly.

After Bisi finished speaking, without looking at him again, she turned her head and said softly to Christine who was beside her, "I'm tired, go in and have a rest, you can find a way to send him away!"

Beth disappeared.

It was warm in the hall.

Lei Meng felt that thousands of ice arrows pierced through his heart again, and his stiff and cold body instantly turned into pieces all over the ground.

The beauty of the past is disillusioned in an instant, leaving no trace.

"Idiot, you deserve objections!" A young man beside Christine snorted contemptuously.

Christine gave the young man a hard look, and said to Raymond in a gracious manner: "Mr. Raymond, I am very grateful that you saved Bisi! As long as you need it, Christine is always at your service!"

Christine's words caused an exclamation.

In the eyes of everyone, this country hunter undoubtedly encountered a great fortune and climbed to the high branch of the empire's dignitaries.

But Raymond seemed to be drenched from head to toe by a bucket of cold water, and his confused brain suddenly became sober.

"You don't have to thank me, I don't have any objections now. I think, in the days to come, I would rather face a high-level monster than face such a flamboyant woman! Haha, congratulations, Mr. Christine !” After Raymond finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Christine's complexion became extremely ugly because of Raymond's rudeness.

The guests were also angered by Raymond's words.

With a "snap", a glove fell in front of Raymond.

"According to the knight's code, I, Elit, as Viscount Christine's attendant knight, challenge you to a duel! I want to use the blood of you, a country bastard, to wash away your insult to Miss Biss!"

The young man standing beside Christine threw out his gloves angrily, pointed at Raymond and cursed loudly.

"Get out, chop suey!"

"Go to hell, coward!"

The guests also cursed loudly.

Raymond stared fixedly at the gloves on the field, his eyes became scorching hot, and the blood in his whole body boiled—it would be a lifetime of shame to retreat in a duel that represented a man's courage and dignity.

Raymond flashed and came to the field, his toes across the ground, raised the glove up high, and then reached out to grab it, and the glove appeared in his palm.

"Mr. Eliot, I accept your challenge!"

"He saved Bisi, don't be harsh, just enough is enough!"

When Eliot got up and walked towards the field, Christine whispered in his ear, and the latter nodded.

After Eliot stood still, he saluted Raymond as a knight.In the eyes of the Cavaliers, every opponent who accepts the challenge is worthy of respect.

"What weapon do you need?"

Raymond raised his fist and waved it: "I use it!"

"The person standing in front of you is a canonized knight, I hope you won't regret your decision!" Ai Lite was obviously irritated by Raymond's arrogance, and laughed.

"The one standing opposite you is the best hunter, that should be enough!" Raymond snorted coldly.

The magnificent hall of Viscount Rotesman's mansion disappeared, and so did the figures of the crowd.Raymond seemed to have returned to the forest where he had fought countless times, and entered into absolute calm.And Elit on the opposite side is just a dangerous monster, a monster that has been enraged by him.

"Please!" Eliot made a sword gesture, politely inviting Raymond to a duel.

"I don't have the habit of making the first move, come on!" Raymond sneered.

Years of hunter life, let him learn to find out the opponent's reality and identify the enemy's weakness before launching an attack.

Eliot was furious when he heard the words, the long sword danced, the sword flowers shone, and the whole person shot at Raymond.

Although Elite's speed was fast, in Raymond's eyes, it was much slower than that of Warcraft.

The sharp sword light in the air was fatal in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Lei Meng, it was much worse than the ubiquitous sneak attacks of monsters.Although there were many phantoms in the air with the wildly dancing sharp claws of the beast, they could only land on one place in the end, and he knew it already.

"This is your strength?"

The wind of the sword touched his body, Lei Meng smiled and took half a step back, twisted his body, and the sword flower disappeared, and the sword in Elit's hand passed by his chest, and the two cooperated as if they had practiced countless times.

"Oh!"

Amidst the sound of exclamation, Elit, who was shot in the air, did not wait for the sword to grow old, gathered strength and twisted his wrist, and the long sword changed from stabbing to slashing.

Raymond didn't fight back and continued to dodge.

In the light of the sword, Lei Meng was like a small boat in a big wave. Although it made people worry to the extreme, he avoided it every time without any injuries.

Ai Lite is more and more irritable.

The battle, which was thought to be resolved in an instant, turned into a dogfight due to Raymond's quick dodge.In the eyes of this experienced knight, Raymond is like a slippery fish that can always get out of his palm at the last moment.

What was even more uncomfortable was that during the first few attacks, he discovered that this young man had a falcon's momentum, and the gaze that was firmly locked on him seemed to regard him as a prey.He even doubted that when he accidentally showed his flaws, the opponent would not hesitate to launch a fierce attack on him.

The battle continued, Elit attacked, and Raymond dodged.

The hall was deadly silent, only the piercing screeching of long swords piercing through the air, or the occasional crackling of fists and feet.

People are no strangers to duel scenes, but at this moment, there is a feeling of fear that grips everyone's hearts like a pair of iron clamps.This duel, on the one hand, is for love and endless sorrow, and the other is for the honor of the knight, and it is impossible to waste it like this.

Eliot's anger and Raymond's calmness made people vaguely feel that the battle would end in a rock-shattering way.

"You only hide?" Eliot stopped attacking, put the sword on his chest, and asked Raymond.

"This is not your full strength! An excellent hunter will not do his best until the beast is not desperate!" Lei Meng looked at his opponent with burning eyes.

"Okay, I'll do what you wish!" Eliot went berserk completely, throwing Christine's advice into the sky.

He suddenly jumped high, and a silver light burst out from the sword in his hand.

Dou Qi attack, this is Elite's real strength!The strength of a sword master!
"Death!"

With a loud shout, the silver light broke away from the sword body, turned into a giant sword, and struck Lei Meng on the head with the force of Mount Tai.

A cruel smile appeared on Eliot's face.He believed that no matter how his opponent dodged, he could easily kill him by manipulating his grudge.

"stop!"

Christine's angry shouts sounded from the sidelines.

If Raymond continued to dodge, he should be saved by the owner of the voice.

But he didn't dodge any more.

"This is the time!"

As soon as Lei Meng gritted his teeth, his body was like an arrow that left the string, facing the vindictiveness that was split, and hit it straight.

"He's going to kill himself!"

"Love is really harmful!"

"My God, I can't bear to watch it!"

Looking at Lei Meng, who was about to collide with Dou Qi, there was an exclamation in the hall.

The women lowered their heads one after another, unable to bear to watch the upcoming bloody scene.

Although Christine felt that it was very embarrassing for Eliot to deal with an unarmed hunter with fighting spirit, he had no time to stop it.

"Why are you bothering?" Christine looked at Raymond in the air and sighed regretfully.In his eyes, although this young hunter is not worthy to be his rival in love, he is still a very good young man.

With a sound of "boom", the fighting spirit poured heavily on Lei Meng's body, bringing up strands of rags and flying them all over the sky.

Ai Lite, who was in the air, stared blankly at Lei Meng, who was pierced by fighting spirit, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

Soon, people discovered that things went far beyond their imagination.

Lei Meng's clothes were torn, but that was all there was to it!
There was no blood spatter as expected, no screams of pain as expected, and there was not even a single scar on Lei Meng's body!
He is advancing tenaciously in the light of fighting spirit.

As soon as the silver grudge came into contact with his body, there were ear-piercing chirping sounds, and then dissipated in little streams of light.

Everyone was stunned.

Christine's face also changed, because he found that there seemed to be a mysterious force in Raymond's body, which was resisting the violent attack of his servant.

Elliott finally exhausted himself and fell from the air, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, a fist had already hit his throat at high speed.

Looking at the fist that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and feeling the breeze brought by the fist, Eliot's eyes were filled with ashes.

After launching the grudge attack, his old strength has been exhausted, and there is no possibility of resistance at all.But his opponent actually resisted his grudge attack and chose to launch a counterattack at this moment.

Every knight who initiates a duel must have the courage to face death.Eliot does not lack this kind of courage, he chose to close his eyes and wait for death.

The moment Raymond's fist hit Elit, it changed direction strangely and hit him on the shoulder.

"Crack"!
"Ah!" Amid the crisp sound of bone shattering, Elit screamed, his body was thrown into the crowd by Raymond's heavy punch, knocking down several bystanders and pressing them on top of them.

The screaming stopped quickly, and Eliot had passed out.

Lei Meng's body was frozen in the field like a sculpture, and his right fist was still in the horizontal position.

"Thank you, Mr. Raymond, for your mercy!" Christine quickly rushed to Elliott's side, checked the latter's injuries, and got up and said to Raymond.

He noticed that Raymond hesitated at the end, and his fist changed course accordingly.

"A knight, that's all! It's a pity that this dress is lost, Wei'er will be angry!"

Raymond ignored him, threw Eliot's gloves back into the field, stroked his broken coat heartbrokenly, turned around and walked out of the gate with a sigh.

"You can look down on my origin, but you can't trample on my dignity!"

Watching the back of the young hunter resolutely going away, people finally understood such a simple truth.

And Raymond, starting from this, embarked on a new road with a firm step.
