Chapter 574 Far East’s Gaze
Feeling the cold wind of early spring, Imric felt much energetic. It was okay to come to this place once or twice occasionally. If he lived a regular life, he would probably have to lie in the stove and sleep as he got older.
When he walked down from the snake nest and was about to chat with someone, he suddenly raised his head and stared at a hill outside the city wall.
"The crow has been transformed by magic, but it is not a toy of Tzeentch..."
Ruju looked across the distance and saw a giant black-feathered creature on the rock wall. The shadow behind the sun completely enveloped the figure, and the darkness It blends into one, making it difficult to notice.
As a warning to the peepers, Imric let go of his dignity a little. In the eyes of the arakkoa, a huge rolling fireball swept from the city. He wanted to spread his wings and escape, but was firmly fixed in place. ground, unable to take any action.
The illusory fireball did not cause any substantial damage to it. After letting out a shrill scream, the arakkoa managed to escape at the cost of an eye that would lose its light forever.
The Queen of the Moon, or someone else...
Imric, who has a little understanding of the Cathay system, knows that this kind of crow often serves as the eyes and ears of heaven, gathering information about the world for the Dragon Emperor.
But coming here all the way across the three natural chasms of the Mourning Mountains, the Land of Darkness, and the World's Edge Mountains is a bit too deliberate, and it doesn't fit the style of a peaceful corner of Cathay.
"Chinese, Cathay, this empire is very interesting..."
Stop thinking about the far east. Dealing with Cathay is not necessary. If you judge based on your usual impression, go out to find those dragon sons. You would think it was the barbarian elves who wanted to pay tribute.
At least until Lao Mi wakes up, formal diplomacy with Cathay will not begin. The dragons with different ideas are not easy to deal with.
The mysterious Dragon Emperor and Moon Queen seem to be very subtle about intervening in the mortal world, and do not have clear demands like the races they are currently in contact with.
Unless it is a power strategy, it is difficult to have substantive communication with them, and as the ruler, the Dragon Emperor does not seem to care much about the so-called internal affairs and diplomacy.
It's interesting to think about an existence on the same level as Ulric in the mortal world.
Prince Long planned to meet a person with great potential. It must be said that the effect of the reform was still very obvious, and many people who lacked opportunities were discovered.
.........
"Oliviera, the prince wants to see you."
The Flame Knight's words made Oliveira stop cleaning his sword. Without asking what was going on, he straightened his clothes and presented himself in his best appearance.
But unexpectedly, the prince was not at his residence or headquarters. Instead, he stood alone on the pier, staring at the unstable sea in the distance. There was a sense of desolation in his back that he had never seen before.
Oliveira checked his clothes one last time, and after confirming that his current appearance matched that of a military noble, he walked behind the prince from the side.
"Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?"
Imrik still kept his arms crossed and did not immediately look back at Oliveira, silently muttering,
"It seems that a lot of time has passed since the last time we met."
"It's already six. What happened years ago, when I was in the Blood Sacrifice Pit, I expressed to you some superficial understanding of the Sotek Sect." "
What about the last time?"
"Twelve years ago, during the canonization ceremony in the palace, you personally I wore the medal."
"Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies really fast..." Imrik sighed, turned to look at Oliveira, and found that the changes were not the same as before. Not big, but that condensed and unyielding look is still strong. There were many obvious blunt injuries on the handsome face, and there were even more minor scars. The Yselama silver armor was much brighter than before, and it looked like it had been specially prepared.
"You have done a great job in the past twelve years. You have proved through countless battles that loyalty and bravery exist in the hearts of every Caledor Elf." "
Thank you for your praise." Oliveira did not panic, using her right hand He clenched his fist and beat his chest, making a dull echo.
"Halifax will be very pleased to see your current achievements. I still remember when I was young, my father assigned me to manage the garrison, and it was he who took me to familiarize myself with various places in Kalede..." Recalling
that Imrik, a noncommissioned officer who died on the Fennoir Plains, was inevitably a little sad.
He is very loyal and very brave, and he is one of his best-looking candidates, but his ending is unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, there is now someone who can inherit the sergeant's will. This may be a small relief.
"Captain Halifax, I'm sorry, that was our fault..." Speaking of his past officers, Oliveira could only lament that soldiers withered like flowers.
He died in a suitable place and died to protect the people and the country. This is the highest honor.
Imrik sighed and did not intend to continue discussing the people who had sacrificed in the past. Necessary sacrifices were unavoidable, and how to make their sacrifices valuable was what the survivors should think about.
"Regarding your previous killing of Naggarond Blade Lord Bazel, I only verbally rewarded you, which seemed a bit unfair. Since I happened to come to the old world, I should make up for this debt.
" It was about military exploits. Oliveira was a little silent. Humility was not a Caledonian character. At this time, his polite refusal seemed deliberate.
"Understood, I will always be your sharp sword, killing all the enemies of the dragon lord."
Imrik smiled. He could see the sincerity of Oliveira's oath, and there was still a long way to go before the future war. Over time, maybe Caledor can also train a Blade Lord?
Then he pointed to the big sword on his back and said, "Show me your sword." Untying the
big sword that was in the way, Oliveira presented it to the prince with both hands.
Imrik pulled out the great sword, and he understood its origin just at the first glance. The cold steel blade was full of imperceptible gaps. It could be seen that the owner had given it to the priest to repair it after it was damaged by the enemy, but he failed. Never give up.
"This seems to be the weapon I rewarded you with during the canonization ceremony. The technology back then was not yet mature, and there were some problems with weapon manufacturing. With your previous position, you should be able to apply for something better." In order to explain this problem,
Ollie Vera lowered her head, looking a little remorseful.
"I'm sorry, Prince, I think this is your concern for me, a loser. If it weren't for your reform of the army and the formation of the Claws of Patunion, I might still be in the city defense army holding a spear and fighting silently. It is impossible to get the reputation he has today. This sword means a lot to me, it symbolizes a loser getting rid of the past."
"You are really..." Imrik said with emotion, having heard Masno say Oliveira before It's a bit silly, but I didn't expect it to be true.
He swore never to use any remote means or do anything to tarnish his honor. He felt helpless but also a little moved.
There is nothing better than this loyalty.
"I should thank you for your loyalty, but as a soldier, I believe you prefer some practical things rather than some useless beautiful words." Imrik turned his head and looked at Creon who was waiting. , motioning to bring the things over.
A gorgeous wooden box appeared in Oliveira's eyes. The simple yellow fire dragon pattern showed where it came from. What surprised him even more was that there was his family name above the lock.
This shows that the reward was definitely not something that the prince suddenly thought of in a fit of enthusiasm, but was brought here from Caledor on purpose.
When he hesitated, Imric reminded, "Open it. This is a weapon I have used before, called the Sword Guard. I hope your sword can not only kill the enemy, but also protect it." You need your countrymen."
