Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

In front of the ruins of the royal palace, in a nearby square, most of the debris from buildings destroyed by the giants on the surrounding streets had been cleared away.

But even so, the ground still bore traces of blood, and a faint stench still lingered in the air.

Everyone who passed by was silent, and no one reached out to touch the bloodstains on the ground.

They looked at the dazzling sheen with grief and respect in their eyes.

In the center of the square, many Bo Ren soldiers guarded a raised platform.

Behind the platform, in front of the ruined palace, a golden-patterned black cloth covered something towering. From the exposed part below, it could be seen that it was a statue.

“咚咚——咚咚——”

At this moment, the sound of the Bo Ren war drums began to beat heavily, like the rhythm of a heart.

Mixed in with it was the slightly mournful sound of the Bo Ren horn.

On a distant broken wall, Leike hugged Polo and stood up. This height was enough for them to see the scene beyond the crowded people.

On the erected platform was the former Bo Ren princess, the future Bo Ren queen.

That girl, who previously seemed less present compared to the old king and Commander Ward—

At this moment, she was wearing a suit of silver-gray female armor with Bo Ren characteristics, covered with array inscriptions, and stepped onto the steps gracefully and firmly.

Seeing this princess who was about to ascend the throne, Leike and Polo were both visibly stunned.

In that girl's eyes, there was none of the weakness seen when they previously met.

On the contrary, her eyes carried a trace of determination similar to that of the Bo Ren soldiers, like a true warrior…

Polo then remembered that this princess was not just a pretty face.

Every member of the Bo Ren royal family had to practice swordsmanship from a young age—

They misunderstood the ancestral teachings as… only the strongest swordsman could pull out the Star Killer Sword. This misunderstanding made every member of the Bo Ren royal family seem full of martial spirit.

Perhaps only a warrior is qualified to lead the Bo Ren people out of their pain.

The entire square fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that heroic girl. Such attire could bring them a stronger sense of security than a gorgeous dress.

“The deadly battle with the giants has lasted for a hundred years, and this giant disaster created by traitors has caused us to lose countless outstanding sons.

They may be your fathers, brothers, sons, and friends…

Their sacrifice has allowed our precarious country to continue in the darkness once again. Here, I pay the highest respect to all those who sacrificed in the war and to all those who dedicated their strength in the battle…”

The new queen's voice seemed calm and firm.

While speaking, the Bo Ren soldiers behind her used vehicles to drag several huge shadows to the front of the square.

Everyone recognized that they were the corpses of twelve giants!

After death, the flesh and blood in their bodies seemed to have lost the magic power to support their weight, and collapsed ugly under the influence of their own mass.

Only the森白 huge bones still pierced through the flesh and blood, pointing to the sky.

On the surface of those flesh and blood, people could still see the unextracted arrows and short swords.

And… several huge wounds at the throats of the giants.

“That’s… a giant?”

“Those damn giants…”

“Were those wounds on the necks of the giants made by our soldiers? It’s like… being cut off by a very long knife.”

Seeing those giants, many Bo Ren people showed expressions of hatred.

Their homes, families, friends, children… many, many people died under the feet of the giants.

“In our battles, thousands of Bo Ren soldiers died under the feet of the giants. They slowed down the giants' pace, preventing them from easily slaughtering our people.

Over a long period, generation after generation, represented by Commander Ward, the Bo Ren soldiers hindered the giants' killings, allowing our Bo Ren kingdom to survive and grow…”

Then, a Bo Ren magic craftsman wearing a black robe walked to the side. He respectfully saluted the young Bo Ren queen.

Then, he opened a narrow box he was holding.

Inside was a long giant bone.

On the surface of the bone were engraved several neat rows of names.

“We will use these twelve giants' incorruptible bones to build a bone monument, engraving on it the names of all those who have died in the battle against the giants to this day…”

After the queen's words, a spark lit up in the eyes of all the Bo Ren soldiers and civilians.

They looked at the twelve giant remains, the broken swords, and their faces showed an unspeakable expression.

After mourning the sacrifices, the queen paused, and the eyes of several soldiers who knew the inside story also lit up with inexplicable expressions—

Unlike the mourning for the sacrificed, this was a more fanatical emotion!

More like a kind of worship for idols or gods?

“But most importantly, we must thank one person, a hero who… killed a full nine giants and truly pulled our Bo Ren kingdom from the cliff!

Our ancestor, the Star Swordsman, once said—

Grasp the sword, use strength, to protect this country!

When you were young, you may have heard the legend of the Star Killer Sword—

That is the sword that, in times of crisis, will bloom with the starlight in the hands of the chosen brave.

On the eve of the giants' siege, this hero made an oath to protect mankind and pulled out the Star Killer Sword…”

The queen looked at the citizens and soldiers who were already filling the square and began to speak slowly and clearly.

“Hmm?”

Polo sat up straight.

He vaguely felt that this queen was about to say something remarkable.

Of course, she did not say how Leike and Polo entered the palace or how they coerced the king.

Instead, she praised Leike's virtue in depth.

Specifically… it was exactly like the poems and hymns used by church pastors when praising God.

“Could it be that the legendary warrior has really come to our Bo Ren City?!”

“I heard that she is a beautiful angel with a face as pure and flawless as her character…”

“Did she save our lives?”

“That must be a saint who came from heaven to save the world…”

“I heard that the angelic hero doesn’t even want to hurt the lives of ants when walking, and doesn’t want to hurt moths that fly into the fire when lighting a lamp, so she can be recognized by the Star Killer Sword!”

Suddenly, the people in the square began to discuss.

After the battle, the Bo Ren soldiers who witnessed Leike's figure had already spread the word.

“Um… this princess speaks really well, it sounds very real—what do you think? Leike.”

Polo turned his head to look, saying with a smirk.

“I… I’m not that good, not stepping on bugs when walking or anything…”

Leike had already raised her hands to cover her beautiful face at this time, but Polo could still see the roots of her ears, exposed under the side of her hair, had already turned red.

At this time, the queen's speech and the people's discussions.

For Leike, whose skin was a little thin, it was like a public execution.

“They definitely can’t imagine that the holy angel, the great savior hero, is now eavesdropping next to them and is as shy as a little girl, right? Leike?”

Polo brought his mouth to the girl's ear and said with a smile.

“Hey—Polo, you big bad wolf! Don’t say it, don’t say it! Aren’t I just a little girl!”

The girl shook her head like a kitten, and then raised one hand to suppress Polo on the ground.

On the high platform, after the praise, the queen waved her hand again.

Several wounded soldiers wrapped in bandages walked to the front of the stage—

They were several soldiers who had witnessed Leike's figure in the battle.

“At that time… the giant’s foot pressed down on us heavily, and I was about to give up resistance at that time! I felt my whole body go cold, and I couldn’t even hold the sword, I thought I was going to die—”

When the wounded soldier spoke, his words were a little stuttering due to excitement, but no one in the audience laughed.

The respect in their eyes was even deeper because of this!

“But at this time, I saw the hero wrapped in starlight, with a red cloak—that angelic girl!

The sword in her hand flashed across the giant's neck like a shooting star!

The giant fell like that!

It took me half a day to realize that I… survived.”

The soldier excitedly narrated, pointing to the narrow sword mark on the giant's neck.

And such an expression gave all the listeners a great sense of reality!

“Me too, at that time, I was in the Iron Spear Street area…”

It was not over yet, and then another wounded soldier began to speak.

The Bo Ren soldiers and civilians below, after listening to the explanation, their excited and respectful expressions became more and more fanatical.

And such a legend, when it comes to fruition, is like a miracle, which undoubtedly makes their sorrowful mood a lot better.

“The warrior who can be recognized by the Star Killer Sword has a soul more transparent than diamonds and virtues more valuable than gold.

Our soldiers, at the end of the war, wanted to keep the angel who saved us, but she had already left—

She does not admire fame and fortune, and leaves to save more people who are suffering…”

The queen's words were extremely infectious.

When the emotions of the people present were brought to a climax, several Bo Ren soldiers walked to the back of the high platform, next to the statue covered with golden-patterned black cloth.

They began to pull away the black cloth.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that statue.

“To commemorate this hero who saved Bo Ren, we also specially created the Hero Saint Statue—”

As soon as the queen's voice fell, the black cloth was removed.

Leike and Polo in the distance instantly widened their eyes.

A girl wearing a cloak and holding a long sword, extremely delicate, with a divine beauty.

Except for the face covered by the hood, which could not be seen clearly, everything else was delicate and flawless, absolutely a nearly perfect saint statue!

“Cool—this Bo Ren craftsman is indeed a bit strong! It’s really similar!”

Polo widened his eyes and turned to look at Leike, “What do you think?”

Then, he saw the girl next to him, whose face had just eased a little, turn red again visibly, “Yo, the great hero is blushing?”

“Big bad wolf, you’re saying strange things again!”

Leike looked at the statue that was extremely similar to herself, listening to the tidal waves of exclamations and praises from the Bo Ren people in all directions…

Suddenly, the girl felt a little restless.

She grabbed Polo and was about to jump off the broken wall.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing, Leike, I still want to hear what they will say next…”

“Don’t listen, don’t listen, I think this… is too embarrassing! Let’s go, we still have a lot to prepare!”
