Transcendent Noble

Elizabeth seems to have a long dream, unable to distinguish reality from illusion. She remembers the fighting priest and two ruling warriors leading a team of Paladin, guarding herself through the church and leaving through the back door Shuitao Town, stay away from the monster that cannot be killed.

They rode horned wolves towards the nearest military town—Whitewater Fortress. Not only the elite troops of the Dodo Kingdom are stationed there, but also the superior cathedral of the Sect Protecting Church of the Water Waves, and the Golden Knight Ludwig Duke of the Dodo Kingdom is also in the Whitewater Fortress.

The horned wolf rolled over a mountain, and Elizabeth suddenly felt a cold attack. She ran the Battle Qi to resist the abnormality of the body, but she lost consciousness after only holding on for a breath.

When I woke up again, the surrounding area was pitch black and my fingers could not be seen. Elizabeth lost one's head out of fear, yelling loudly and no one answered, finally couldn't help crying with her legs in the dark. When the mood calmed down a little bit, she pulled out the long sword with tears in her eyes, and explored cautiously in the dark, walking her feet in a straight line as far as possible, and the sword edge marked under her feet.

After walking for a long time, and seeing nothing but herself, Elizabeth sang and sang the hymns she learned from beginning to end, inspiring her courage and fighting the fear and despair brought by the darkness.

Finally, her voice became dumb, and the water in the water bag drank away. She could only chant silently in her heart: "When everything is dark, only the glory will last forever "

This is the sacrifice faith of the priest when facing desperate situation. Elizabeth only knew it before but didn't have a deep experience. In this endless darkness, she chanted over and over again, her heart gradually settled, tears no longer flowed, and she began to think about the true meaning of this sentence:

When everything is dark, where does the light come from?

If there is brilliance, where will it guide me?

When thinking about a question, the answer will come out, first from the hope of the thinker. Under the shadow of the distance, a magnificent building caught Elizabeth's eyes.

It has a tall bell tower, heavy walls, and statues of various shapes are placed in the square in front of the steps. Although its tall and thin strange appearance is different from any glorious cathedral, the overall architectural style composed of pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying arches is full of mysterious, melancholy, and sublime temperament, Elizabeth still recognizes that this is a glorious cathedral at a glance. .

Quickly passing through the central square full of statues, pools and gardens, and ascending the white glazed stone steps, Elizabeth knocked on the gate with exquisite patterns.

"Is anyone there?"

Following her voice, the closed door slowly opened, and Elizabeth walked in without hesitation. In the depths of the empty and towering hall, the light with different brightness and texture outlines an angel standing quietly. His rays of light are so dazzling that you can't look directly at it, and it's pure and warm, making people want to get closer. The angel holds a holy book in his left hand, and a scepter in his right hand. Three pairs of holy wings cover a small half of the hall, and each of the artifacts in the display is rendered with sacred brilliance.

"Mickler Myers!"

Elizabeth was so pleasantly surprised that she lost the long sword in front of her chest and walked quickly over, one-knee kneels, ten fingers of both hands They touched each other, pressed against their foreheads, and chanted: "Holy first day of shining angels, the eyes of our Lord, the embodiment of holiness and wisdom, are you here to guide me?"

"What Is it sacred?" Mickel Myers' clear and indifferent voice fell in Elizabeth's ear.

The girl replied without hesitation according to Paladin’s standards: "The sacred is bright, heroic, compassionate, wise, and righteous."

"The trial begins...The Nightmare The king's heir."

As the voice ended, the first shining angel quickly faded away, and the empty cathedral fell into pitch black again. Elizabeth was surprised to find that she was wearing a Battle Armor with a shield and a long sword in her hand. The surrounding environment seemed to have changed, and the cathedral disappeared inexplicably. Her body shimmered from the inside out, and she could see from a distance of five meters, and the smooth floor under her feet turned into a ground covered with pebbles.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, as if a monster was approaching. Elizabeth's heart tightened, too late to examine the changes in the surrounding environment, holding her breath, running the Battle Qi, raising her shield to block her, sword edge aimed at the source of the sound.

The moment Elizabeth raised the sword, the noise in the darkness suddenly stopped. The silent air concealed the cold murderous intention, and the feeling of danger was like substance.

A group of fuzzy shadows flashed from the left side of Elizabeth, this is the blind spot of sword edge. It waved its arms to drive the air to roar, and a sharp cold hit the girl's neck, stimulating the shrinkage of the pores on the neck.

The enemy stealth to Elizabeth’s blind spot, launching a fierce assault. Caught off guard, she almost instinctively slapped out the shield, turned her toes, exerted force on her right leg, and cut out the sword light like an unrolled bolt of white silk.

Combine defense in offensive, take advantage of the situation.

The battle skill that Elizabeth worked hard at this time played an amazing role, no need to look, and no need to think about it. The shield is horizontal to defend against the enemy, and the long sword is vertical to kill the enemy. It is simple, effective and formidable power. Full.

"pu"

The chain mail and hard leather inner armor were ripped apart by something. Elizabeth felt that her back was cold first, and then there was blood flow. After that, there was a pang of pain.

The enemy moved too fast, avoiding the girl's shield sweep and long sword slash, leaving a deep wound on her back, but it failed to tear her neck.

Elizabeth endured the pain, gritted her teeth, and moved towards the darkness again, putting on an offensive and defensive posture.

The enemy's attack came as scheduled, but Elizabeth's counterattack still did not work, and a bone wound was added to her left leg.

A few minutes later, the stubborn girl was covered in blood and fell to the ground. The shield was shattered, and she was still holding the bright long sword tightly in her hand.

The shadow slowly approached, and then Elizabeth could see the appearance of her opponent. It is a giant wolf that walks upright. Although it bears the head of a wolf, it is clearly different from the jackal who resembles a coyote and has a hunched back and hunched waist. It is well-proportioned, 2.3 meters tall, with dark fur, its body looks thin but its muscle lines are unusually full, as if it is full of explosive power and extremely sensitive. Its hands have five fingers like human beings, and sharp claws emerge from the ends that have been blood dyed red. Those dark night eyes seem to have mysterious power.

Elizabeth looked straight into the eyes of the black werewolf, and she felt a shudder from her soul, as if she had fallen into the most terrifying Nightmare, her heart was trapped by a rope called fear, but she wanted to wake up. A finger is also impossible to move even a little bit.

As the nightmare monster approached gradually, the light around Elizabeth faded and dimmed, like a candle in the cold wind, on the verge of collapse, as if it would go out in the next second, but faint rays of light firmly hold the last distance.

The girl kept chanting in her heart:

"When everything is dark, only the light will last...When everything is dark, only the light will last."

The monster was unable to advance any further, it showed a humane confused expression, wondering why this weak prey still refused to give up, but the next second, its eyes lit up with cruel bloodthirsty red light, and it stretched out its sharp claws to be dying. The opponent's fatal blow.

"The trial passed."

Rays of light emerged, the darkness receded like a tide, the terrifying monster vanished, and the towering and empty church hall reappeared again. Elizabeth was motivated by the nightmare-suppressed Battle Qi, and suddenly bounced from the floor to a height of 2 meters, and then was surprised to find that all the wounds on her body disappeared, before she had time to ask questions, Archangel Micklemel, composed of rays of light Si Yi pointed to her forehead, and suddenly there were three holy light runes and an unfamiliar martial skill forging in her mind.

Elizabeth sat up abruptly, saw the jade green grass, the fragrant flowers and plants rushed into her nose, she couldn't help but sneezed fiercely.

Two small faces full of curiosity were sprayed with saliva, three pairs of eyes looked at each other dumbly for a while, and then two screams of children.

"She woke up! The victims woke up."

Elizabeth found herself lying on a bull-pull sledge, surrounded by a group of people carrying weapons. Seeing them approaching, Elizabeth, who was not aware of the situation, reached out to grab the long sword on her waist, but she felt empty. She wanted to run the Battle Qi, turned over and jumped off the sledge, felt dizzy in her head, and then lay down weakly.

Battle Qi is exhausted... Elizabeth is not unfamiliar with her own weak state. She has been trained in this field in the Tester family. She is just wondering why she is exhausted from Battle Qi?

Are the church, the first shining angel, and the black werewolf dreaming?

"Don't move, you have been asleep for at least two days, and your body is very weak. It is best to continue to lie down." The slightly hoarse but full of magnetic female voice interrupted Elizabeth's thoughts and made her confused. Evoke reality in the state of being.

A young woman in chain mail pushed away the people around her and walked closer. She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, beautiful features, dark red hair, a full forehead against the bridge of the nose, and a dark complexion that gives the impression of strong wisdom, but her gray-green eyes are clear and agile with a smile. , Looks innocent and friendly.

Elizabeth saw that she was holding a long sword with a sheath in her hand, and then said: "That's my sword."

"Now it is mine." Red The hair girl hid the long sword behind her, looked at Elizabeth warily, and immediately asked with a smile: "What is your name? How old are you? Why are you in trouble? Which mercenary group belongs to? What skills do you have?"

A series of questions made Elizabeth dazed again. After a moment, she quietly rolled her eyes and asked "weakly": "Where is this? You are who? I...why am I here?"

"This is the Wharton Prairie... We are the fire lion mercenary group, and I am knight-errant Octavir, and the head of the fire lion mercenary group." The young woman held a long sword, both hands crossed near chest, smiling playfully said: "little girl, I answered your question, now it is your turn to tell me, who are you? Why is a person in a coma in the depths of the Wharton Prairie?"

This is actually Wharton Prairie?

Elizabeth couldn’t figure out why she appeared on the Wharton Prairie. She observed in secret, and somewhat believed that these people were an ordinary mercenary group, and the young woman who claimed to be Octavier might be an unnatural awakening. The trainee Knight. But in terms of strength and status, the opponent is far behind him. The brawny man next to Octavier, with a burly figure, coordinated movements, and a real vision, faintly brings oppression to Elizabeth, and should be the most powerful house in this small mercenary group.

However, Elizabeth is confident that she can easily defeat her opponent in peak state. She is a senior trainee Knight, and can be promoted to an intermediate bronze Knight at any time.

To make a comparison between the strengths of the two parties, Elizabeth left the bull and pulled the sledge and said in a condescending manner: "I am very grateful to your Excellency for saving me, and I also appreciate the noble character of the Mercenary Group for helping the victims. I will write down. For your kindness, in the future, if you have a chance, you will definitely give a generous return."

She was silent for a while, stretched out her hand and said, "I'm leaving now, please return my sword to me?"

The curious, vigilant, and friendly expressions of the mercenaries suddenly changed, appearing cold and contemptuous. Octavir frowned, the hilt lit Elizabeth's nose, and reprimanded: "You are also a mercenary, don't you understand the rules? I, Chief Octavir will teach you today... mercenary The group rescues the victims, the recipients’ personal items are all owned by the rescuer... You think, if we don’t care about you and wait for you to be killed by the wild beast, isn’t your things belong to us? We saved your life, Your things are mine now, including the leather armor on you... I want to take them back from me, and either redeem them with money or work for us. If I am satisfied, I will give it to you. I am not satisfied. Don't even think about it. Little girl, do you understand?"

The female mercenary group long babbled and said a big deal, Elizabeth was blushing with training, and said fly into a rage out of humiliation "I promised to give you generous rewards. I speak my words...I, I am actually a Knight noble."

The mercenaries looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately burst out. laugh.

"haha, I am a Knight noble..."

"Well, actually I am also a noble... the future Lord Lord, you will marry me as your wife and you will be the Lord in the future Madam."

"...She may have hurt her brain and is not clear-headed."

"little girl, pretending to be a nobleman is a felony, so quickly apologize to the chief, beg She took you to the Nether Soul forest development point. You will die if you stay in the prairie alone."

Octavil raised his left hand to stop the frigid irony and scorching satire of his subordinates and kindly persuade , Said to the girl with flushed cheeks: "For the sake of your success in making me laugh... Give her things back to her and let her go... Let's continue on our way."

The wool cloak, the travel bag, the water sac, and the archer crossbow were all thrown at Elizabeth's feet. Octavir gave her a knight salute, smiled and said, "May the merciful Lord of Radiance guide you out of the prairie... Good luck, dear Miss Knight."

Looking at the mercenaries driving the shorthorns away, Elizabeth retracted her gaze and lowered her head whispered: "May the Lord of Supreme bless you You...goodhearted people, I swear I will repay you... if I can survive."

Deputy Commander Theodore looked back and turned into a smaller girl, to Oak Tawil asked: "Miss, just let her stay on the prairie like this?"

"She is a kind child, afraid to hurt us." Octavier smiled slightly, confidently Said: "Don't worry about her, she will follow."

"Miss is wise and wise." Theodore said flattery.

Octavil glanced at him and said proudly: "From now on, you are not allowed to call me Miss, you are not allowed to be called an adult... Call me'head'... This is just like a mercenary group. Long!"

*********************************

Elizabeth walked to the river in a dazed manner, and she still couldn't fully distinguish between dreams and reality. The magnificent cathedral, the first shining angel Mikel Myers, and the wolf monster that looks like a nightmare are all too real. She remembered the holy light rune and a set of secret methods of battle skill planted by the shining angel.

Life experience reminds Elizabeth that it is a dream. The fragrance of the grassland, the fresh air, the murmur of water, the hares and gophers in the grass, flesh and blood, mercenaries with emotions are reality.

Elizabeth tried to connect the attack and the rescue by mercenaries. She didn't know what happened after she lost consciousness, she was worried that the powerful and evil wizard was still looking for her.

In order to avoid the fire lion mercenary group being implicated by herself, she can only face all dangers alone, just like the Paladin of justice.

When she came to the river, Elizabeth knelt on the grass and fetched water with a sheepskin water sac. When she saw the reflection in the water, the water sac snapped and fell into the water and was swept away by the river.

Elizabeth didn’t care about retrieving the precious water sac. She buried her entire head in the clear and cold river water, rubbed the skin and hair on her face vigorously, opened her eyes again, and saw a stranger The reflection of the familiar girl again.

Her facial features vaguely resemble Elizabeth’s original appearance, but her skin is dull and rough, and her face is covered with freckles; her bright brown hair becomes golden yellowish, just like dry wheat stalks. It is the most common variegated hair of ordinary people; the dazzling eyes of bloodline, which symbolizes nobleness, disappeared, and her eyes were ordinary brown-gray.

Elizabeth couldn't believe that this was her current appearance, and she sat down on the grass and was shocked for a long time before she remembered to mobilize poor Battle Qi.

There is no problem with Battle Qi and Elemental Position. Why am I so ugly? Could it be that... Elisabeth Frederick Princess thought of a possibility that would surprise her, so she hurriedly half-kneeled on the ground, regained her undulating emotions, and muttered silently:

"When everything is dark, only the glory Forever."

She tried to visualize the first rune passed to her by Mickler Myers. The original vague impression gradually became clear. As the visualization deepened, the details of the rune were revealed.

A faint rays of light burst out from Elizabeth's fingertips, faint but holy.

"Holy Light Technique! I can use the Holy Light Technique!"

Holy Light Technique is the most basic priest divine technique, except for light, it does not have any special extraordinary effects. But it can evolve into a higher level priest divine technique.

Elizabeth cheering excitedly, and soon frowned again. She wanted to be a Paladin rather than a pastor.

".... Try to visualize the second rune." She knelt down again restlessly with anticipation.

When the second rune was visualized, there was a warm current in Elizabeth's body, and she felt that the exhausted Battle Qi was recovering.

"...I am Paladin." Elizabeth looked at her rough-skinned hands, her eyes blank, her mood was not as happy as she had expected, but some sadness, some comfort, some confusion, and complicated emotions at the end Combine a firm belief and a lofty sense of mission.

Light technique is Paladin’s most basic divine technique. It is between the priest’s Holy Light Technique and Paladin’s bravery technique. Early-Stage has the effect of restoring energy and physical strength and can evolve all Paladin’s divine techniques. , Mainly to protect the soul from the severe erosion of the void element, supplemented by the healing divine technique and the strengthening divine technique. Divine technique Level 4 Silver Paladin temporarily possesses battle strength comparable to Golden Knight's battle strength, and its semi-elemental body can be treated by divine technique, thus possessing the survival ability far beyond ordinary Knight.

Mastering the art of illuminati, marking the awakening of the imprint of light in the bloodline and becoming a Paladin in the true sense. Elizabeth's situation is a little different, she inspires Holy Light Technique and Light Technique, and the next rune represents Paladin's bravery.

Heroism coordinates Paladin's strength and agility, weakens fear, transforms pain into anger controlled by Paladin, and promotes mental activity. It is the source of strengthening and disciplinary divine techniques, from start to finish runs through all the divine technique levels of Paladin.

For a trainee Knight like Elizabeth, bravery can greatly improve her battle strength.

After confirming that the third rune represents bravery, Elizabeth murmured to herself: "Divine Vestige...this is the Divine Vestige of our lord...I see, the Angel of Mickel Mels upholds The will of the Lord transferred me from the hands of the evil to the prairie, changed my image, and taught me the true meaning of sacredness. He chose me to be his dísciple, hoping that I could slay the evil and protect the people...Nightmare The king’s heir, no, the nightmare king is the Great Demon ghost that I need to eradicate!"

"haha, I am a student of the first shining angel, I am Paladin Elizabeth Frederick, I don’t want it Be the Queen of Sasan." Elizabeth danced happily. Seeing the reflection on the river, she suddenly remembered that her water bag had just floated away. She chased a few steps downstream, thought about it, and turned around and ran in the direction where the fire lion mercenary group had left.

More than two hours later, the mercenaries heard Elizabeth's cry, and looked back and saw that the mercenary girl who called herself Knight was chasing after her.

Captain Vale ordered the team to stop, Elizabeth staggered to the front, gasping for breath said: "You...you guys, too, too fast...I I almost missed it. Give me some water to drink."

"Quickly?" Vale glanced at the shorthorn cow who was eating the tender grass leisurely, and said with a smile: " You won’t get lost, are you? Can you lose track of such a big mark as a bull-pull sledge?"

Elizabeth returned the water sac to a female mercenary next to her and wiped it with her sleeve regardless of her image. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he shyly said: "I...I want to join you."

"Oh...who are you?" Captain Vale stretched his voice and asked with a mocking expression. .

Elizabeth's face turned straight, and she recounted the rhetoric she had thought on the road.

"My name is Mary, I am 20 years old this year, and I am a mercenary. A few days ago, our mercenary group wanted to go to the Nether Soul forest development point to pick up a mission. On the way, I ran into a jackal robber, and my companion died desperately. Resistance.... I was the only one who ran out."

The girl's eyes flushed and tears flowed down. Her sorrow was not a fake, and the war priest and Paladin who had protected her might have been sacrificed. Moreover, she is determined to shoulder the sacred mission and accept the test of the first shining angel as a mercenary, and it will be difficult to see family and friends again in the future.

"I met a jackal? Who did you lie to?" The secret method Assassin Penny ruthlessly said: "The leather armor on your body has no blood stains, and the long sword didn't pull out the scabbard. You just talked about it. Look, how did you break through by yourself, and how did you get rid of the jackals?"

"...I, I don't know." Elizabeth wanted to argue, but was speechless, so she had to He lowered his head dejectedly.

"Okay." Octavir waved his hand grandiosely to stop his followers from continuing to blame the girl, took a step forward, and said softly: "You are in trouble...but I want to Say, your luck is good, I happen to be a knight-errant who is not afraid of trouble."

She paused, looked around at the mercenaries, and said, "Mary’s experience, no one is allowed to mention it again." , Otherwise..."

"I personally killed him." Theodore said with a sullen face.

Grand Captain Val was nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Elizabeth: "Come on, get to know, Octa Val, 18 years old, the leader of the Mercenary Group of Fire Lions, the future Legendary knight-errant."

Looking at Val’s sincere eyes, Elizabeth blurted out, "Mary, 20 years old, a mercenary in trouble, a savior in the future."

Mercenaries There was a moment of silence, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Do you want to learn medicine? Ruth is the best Physician in the regiment, you can worship her as the teacher." The head of the regiment smiled and pointed to the female soldier who had just handed the water bag. Said.

"Yeah, yeah, I want to learn medicine." The girl was nodded again and again, unconsciously considering Captain Vale as her closest person.

"Mary, welcome you to join the Mercenary Group of Fire Lions. From now on, you will be my younger sister, um, also my follower."

The team set off again, the mercenary girl Mary Following Vale's side, after hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Lord, are you really only 18 years old?"

"Of course, I am 18 years old this year."

"...It doesn't look like it, oh, I mean, I'm two years older than you, so I can't be your younger sister."

"Mary, you got the wrong age. "Lord Vale corrects very seriously: "You are only 16 years old this year, and you are my younger sister."

"That's it, okay." Mary followed his kindness and accepted the statement of the leader. , And curiously asked: "Vail elder sister, you are the head of the group, the scale of the mercenary group must be very large, right?"

Vail proudly said: "I have 24 under my command. A mercenary, the fire lion mercenary group is the largest mercenary group."

"24 people....... It doesn't seem to be a lot."

"What do you know? 24 people The mercenary group is already amazing. When you arrive at the Nether Soul forest development point, you will understand that we are a rare large mercenary group."

"Well, I believe in Valle elder sister."

Theodore and the others followed these two guys silently, just as if they had heard nothing.
