Below, Elden Juggernaut

"Don't worry, His Highness will find a way. If you really don't worry, you can take someone back to Baijin Village to have a look."

He could only comfort him, and dragged Tang En, who was eavesdropping, into the city.

Hasn't even Platinum Village been destroyed yet?Fortunately, I came early, otherwise the ruins would be too boring.

Tang En glanced at the city tower covered with the huge Kalia Royal Family Banner, but he couldn't see a few guards. He went through the deep city gate hole again, and a mist of white mist lingered in front of him.

It's strange, it's bright daylight behind, but the city is so gloomy, in front of it is a huge garden, surrounded by flowers and trees, and some pyroxene crystals can be seen, and a flat stone road extends forward, with exquisite sculptures on both sides.

The flowers, trees, sculptures, and fountains are really the royal city of Kalia. If the white fog dissipates, it should be quite magnificent.

"Don't run around, it's still very dangerous here." Allen said in front, and Tang En stopped walking as soon as he finished speaking.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he saw two huge palms crawling down from the wall, those thin fingers were as swift as spider legs, and the grayish white skin was covered with abscesses, which made people go mad at just one look.

Seeing these palm monsters crawling in front of him, stopping one meter away, stretching out human thigh-thin fingers to caress the body surface, like a pet dog sniffing something.

Grass!

Tang En, who was covered with goosebumps, almost drew his sword, but fortunately, these palm monsters fled quickly after touching them a few times, climbed to the wall and curled up into a ball, continuing to wait for their prey.

"These fingerworms are cute."

When the knight's laughter came, Tang En rolled his eyes. This intrusive thing is so cute.

Going on silently all the way, the Kalia Fortress is as complicated as I remember, and with the thick fog, it is easy to get lost in it. Once you go the wrong way, those finger worms buried in the soil will jump out hold you high.

"Are you curious that the fortified city is so strong but you still have to bleed and die outside?" Allen certainly wouldn't get lost, and took Tang En up the traffic wall and headed all the way to the inner city.

"I'm not curious." Tang En looked outside the wall, thinking that he would deploy a team of crossbowmen here to shoot the enemies in the garden below into hedgehogs.

"Why?"

"Because it's hopeless to be trapped in an isolated city. This fortress can't support too many soldiers. Rather than being trapped in the city and starving to death, it's better to fight bravely." Tang En licked his lips and said eloquently:

"Most of Kalia's supplies come from Lake Lienia, and the open space under the city can be transformed into a field. Such a Kalia army supporting thousands of people is completely enough, and a strong city defense is never as reliable as courage. Wait until the day of the cage city For a long time, people cannibalize each other, and loyalty is not worth mentioning in the face of despair."

The knight turned his head and blinked: "You are more sober than me, I only think that the morale will be affected from the remnant army to the defeated army."

"I read it all from books." Tang En nodded with a smile. Isn't he from a defeated army?

The two of them got on the escalator and lifted up with the sound of gears turning. Only then did they enter the inner city area. Afterwards, Dunn passed the solid city wall, a large hall, an exquisite garden, and hundreds of stone stairs. Those with poor physical fitness will be exhausted halfway.

"This city is too big." Tang En stood on the stone steps and looked back. He could see most of Lienia. He didn't know what the cuckoo was thinking. Breaking this city would be a big mistake. possible tasks.

He walked from the afternoon to the rising of the full moon, still some distance away from Lani's magic tower.

"Keep going, we're almost there." Allen also wiped the sweat off his brow, and led Tang En up to the second step. A troll was sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him.

It wore a weird helmet made up of countless lenses, and was flipping through a huge book in its hand, as if sensing someone approaching, it closed the book firmly.

"Master Yiji, by the order of His Highness, bring Tang En Wright to have an audience."

"Well, I've heard." Iggy's voice was not as tyrannical as ordinary trolls, but revealed a unique wisdom. He bent down, put his head in front of Tang En, and nodded after looking at it for a long time:

"That's right, it's true that you don't panic when you change, and your spirit sinks like the sea, you are indeed a talent."

"Lord Iggy is too proud." Tang En replied neither humble nor overbearing. He knew that this person was Kalia's military advisor, even if the stick behind his back could smash the cuckoo knight into a meat paste.

Yiji nodded again, but did not give up the doorway behind him. Allen was a little puzzled, so he heard the mountain demon ask:

"I want to ask you something. The Cuckoo Knights obviously still have the strength to launch an attack, so why did they withdraw to the camp and stick to it?"

Is this an exam?

Tang En raised his eyebrows. He hates riddlers, and as a grasshopper on a rope, he doesn't have to hold back too much, so he thought for a while before answering:

"Lienia has the Academy of Magic, the Cuckoo Legion, and the Kalia royal family. This balance..."

"Wait, the Cuckoo Legion is the group of rebellious loyal dogs of the Magic Academy."

Tang En showed sarcasm on his face. Of course, he couldn't say that he knew the inside story. He just put it another way: "If it is a loyal dog, the Magic Academy will not stand idly by since the war started. If a magician participated last night, we will not be able to defend it no matter what. Live, it proves that both of them are wary of each other."

Of course Iggy knew the reason, so she nodded: "Okay, you continue."

"The three forces have formed a balance. After learning that there is no hope of capturing the city, Du Juan will continue to attack unless he has a problem with his brain. Instead, they now need a superficially strong Kalia, so that the Magic Academy will not dare to close the gate, because Du Juan There is no way to get in, but we have plenty of ways."

Tang En talked eloquently, taking the bandit's self-respect, of course this 'kou' can't be too weak.

The battle of a small manor changed many things like a butterfly flapping its wings. For example, the premise of the closure of the Academy of Magic was that Kalia and Dujuan were both injured, so they could stand aloof and let the two sides play out of their minds.

"So there is a Kalia who has the ability to fight back, but the Magic Academy dare not abandon Dujuan. Now that the border is raging, the Dujuan Army can find a job anywhere, and those magicians have nowhere to go. If Kali Ya regained the lost ground, why should they block our recast soldiers!"

"Well said!" Iggy clapped her hands and smashed the two boulders with an astonishing momentum. It's hard to say whether this situation is good or bad, but this judgment——

"Brave and resourceful, you are much better than that idiot Biarian."

"Hey, why do you involve me?" The knight raised his hand in protest, he didn't understand half of it.

Iggy ignored him and continued: "Strength can be improved through exercise. Kalia has no shortage of powerful fighters, but judgment and wisdom need to be gained from experience. I have read your information, and I can only say 'genius'. Something is always there."

Tang En didn't say a word. He really showed his sharpness, but a man acted frankly. Why pretend to be weak, and really treat others as fools?

"Go in, Her Highness Lani is waiting for you." Iggy slowly got up and let out the doorway behind him, but Tang En was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was still some distance away from the magic tower.

He straightened his messy armor, stepped in first, passed through the doorway, and suddenly saw a shallow pool in front of him, surrounded by a circle of high-backed chairs, and the radiance of the full moon cast in the pool water, reflecting another round the moon.

The surface of the pool is like a mirror, the bright moon is quiet, and the radiance that shines fills a girl's body. She sits on a high-backed chair facing the doorway, lowers her head slightly and cannot see her face clearly, and looks very peaceful and mysterious.

This scene was reflected in Tang En's eyes, which made his whole heart quiet, and this beautiful picture was deeply engraved in his mind.

The girl under the moon is unparalleled.

Chapter 14 Her Majesty Lani is full of majesty

Under the cold moonlight, the pool swayed slightly, giving people a hazy feeling.

This vast place was lonely. Tang En stood in front of the doorway, looking at everything in front of him in a daze, but the girl didn't respond, as if she was a character in a painting.

"Cough cough."

A low cough broke the silence, and Blaze, who was standing next to Lani, couldn't bear it anymore. His cough seemed to speed up the pause time, and the girl sitting on the high-back chair immediately reacted.

The witch's hat was raised slightly, and her blue eyes were not sharp, but a little confused. She saw Tang En who was standing in the distance, and showed an elegant smile.

"Good evening, my valiant warrior."

Before Tang En could respond, Allen, who was walking along with him, knelt on one knee and called 'Your Highness', and he followed suit by kneeling on one knee and beating his chest with his right hand.

"His Royal Highness Lani, I am honored to be summoned."

His face was calm and serious, like a steel warrior, but he had already started complaining in his heart.

The princess must have fallen asleep just now, and she felt that her high-back chair was higher than the others. Could it be that there was something under it?

It's all about making complaints, on the surface Tang En is quite serious, but inside that petite body has the power to split mountains and rivers.

"You don't have to be restrained, please sit down." Lani raised her two fingers and pointed to the opposite side. Tang En was not restrained, and sat firmly on the high-back chair, feeling nothing other than feeling hard enough to knock his buttocks.

Speaking of which, the Kalia royal family is quite ingenious. They have made great achievements in Weiming, and they must be served with good wine and meat. It is better here, and they ran to an open place to enjoy the moon.

"Don't worry, the celebration party has not been cancelled. I will not be stingy. I will entertain all the fighting warriors with treasures, wine and meat. It's just that it is inconvenient for me to come forward because of my special status. I will let Blazer participate." Lani seemed to see through After Tang En thought, he raised his hand to stop his explanation, and said softly:

"And you made the first contribution, and out of interest, I have to meet you alone."

Tang En nodded. Lani was qualified as a monarch, except that she could not see her head and tail. She was already mentally prepared.

It's just that Lani didn't get straight to the point, she opened her arms and said in a misty tone, "What do you think of this place?"

Tang En glanced around. He didn't have much culture in the previous two lives. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "The flowers in the moon mirror in the water are indeed beautiful, but this beauty brings a bit of loneliness and illusion."

There are only a few people in the huge moon-viewing pool, and those empty high-back chairs really make people lonely.

"It wasn't like this in the past. Many royal families below the queen mother watched this full moon, but as you said, the past has become an illusion. Then how can I get rid of the loneliness brought about by illusion?"

"Naturally, we look to the future, because the enrichment in the way of finding the way can make people forget loneliness." Tang En replied without thinking. As a traveler, those memories of the past also bring falsehood and pain.

Live for the future, fight for the goal?

There was some appreciation in Lani's eyes, and she asked with interest: "Then where is your goal?"

"To live, to live without any threats, no one can control my destiny." Tang En's pupils gradually sharpened, and he asked back: "Your Highness, do you think this goal is ridiculous?"

It is ridiculous to talk about fate under the golden law. If the law of law is broken, even life and death here will be clearly arranged by others.

Lani looked solemn, and shook her head slightly: "No, wanting to control one's own destiny seems the simplest, and it is also the most difficult to realize. Even a high-ranking demigod can't do it. Your road may be more difficult than mine."

She leaned back in the chair slightly, and immediately lost a bit of majesty, like a lazy girl. Seeing Tang En's puzzled eyes, she sat up straight again.

"I also want to control my own destiny, but it is impossible to be free under the law."

"Do you mean the golden tree?"

"No, any law is the same. It's too boring to talk about following other people's order." Lani replied seriously, because Tang En was not a faded person who broke in, and she didn't need to make others do it for her. Do things yourself.

"So our goal is the same, and I am very happy to have a reliable companion on the way to explore the future."

Tang En was truly credited for it, and no one can question this.

"That's right, I'm also willing to contribute my strength." Tang En nodded again, not to mention Lani's vision, he himself is Kalia's warrior.

"For rewards, gold, silver and treasure are useless to me. I would like to make two requests."

"Tell me." After what happened a few days ago, Lani was a little curious.

"First, this curved sword is not easy to use. I heard that Mr. Yiji is a brilliant blacksmith, and I want to ask him to make a pyroxene sword; second, I want to learn Kalia magic."

The two requests were really weird, and Lani covered her mouth as if she was smiling: "I forgot that you are a magic apprentice, yes, I will let Iggy cast it with my heart, and the royal magic tower is also open for you, how much can I learn? It depends on your luck, if you encounter difficulties, you can also ask the magic professor Miriam for advice."

Miriam?Shouldn't it be that stinky bastard Servis?

Tang En was puzzled for a while, and searched his memory again, only to find that Servis was still a professor at the academy, and the chief magician serving the royal family was named Miriam, who was the one who shot people in Kalia's study.

"Thank you, Your Highness." He didn't think much about it, anyway, he was better than that stinky ghost.

"Well, let me add a third one for you." Lani suddenly floated up from the chair, and just landed lightly in the pool with a few ripples. With a serious face, she stretched out her arms and hooked her hands .

"Dawn Wright, please come forward."

The swordsman immediately got up, stepped forward on the pool water, the rising water waves stirred up the full moon, and then he stopped half a meter in front of Rani, not knowing what to do, when he saw the opponent's arms turned over gracefully Gently press down, then kneel on one knee in the pool water.

"I'm sorry, the queen mother is still here. I'm not the king of Kalia, so I can't give you too much honor." Lani explained softly, and put on a majestic expression again, spreading her hands.

"Blazer, sword."

The half-wolf warrior who had been standing suddenly by the side stepped into the pool with a box in his arms, opened the box slowly and heavily, and took out a straight sword.

With a golden handle and a sword body like a work of art, this is Kalia's secret treasure, the legendary 'Sword of Night and Fire'.

Lani took it steadily, turned around and looked at Tang En who was kneeling on one knee, tapped his left and right shoulders with a sword, and murmured:

"Witnessed by the full moon and the stars, in the name of Lani, Princess of the Moon, a direct descendant of the Kalia royal family, Tang En Wright canonized as Kalia Glory Knight. May courage and glory be with you forever."

The process was very short. When Tang En raised his head, there were only dissipated azure particles in front of him. Lani left decisively for some reason. He blinked but still didn't understand the situation.

I'm getting a promotion and a raise?

popping.

There were crisp applause all around. It turned out that Allen was applauding non-stop. The other Blazer hesitated for a moment, but also clapped his hands in encouragement, baring his teeth and saying:

"Knight Tang En, from now on, you will be His Royal Highness Lani's personal guard."

"It's more than that. How many years has it been? It's the first time His Royal Highness canonized a knight. Don't worry, when His Majesty Renara is rescued, you will be made an official knight immediately." Cheers.

"Then why did Lord Lani run away after being canonized?"

"Uh, maybe she doesn't know what to do next, she might go back and read the book." Ya Lian joked, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the werewolf staring at him with a murderous face, and quickly closed his mouth.

In fact, Tang En didn't care about promotion and salary increase. If he didn't have enough strength, he would be hacked to death even if he became the king of Kalia. He stood in the pool, bathed in the moonlight, thinking of Allen's words, he slowly smiled.

Yeah?I'm really honored then.

He turned sideways and casually shouted to Blazer who was about to leave: "Don't go, it's a happy event anyway, I'll treat you to a drink."

The werewolf drifted away and just waved his hand: "Alcohol affects my judgment, so I never drink."

He left just like that, and Tang En, who had hit a snag, spread his arms and scolded with a smile: "This bastard is really a stinky fart."

"Don't be angry, he's just like this, he's pulling everyone except His Royal Highness Lani." Allen grabbed Tang En's shoulders and dragged him away.

"Come, come, I have wine, let's have a good drink today!"

The full moon was bright, and it elongated the shadows of several people walking in opposite directions, as if Tang En was firmly engraved on this land...
