At that moment, Scarlet's body and mind sank into her inner world, and the noise around her became distant. Everyone around her subconsciously looked in the direction of the Silver Queen, and their mouths opened and closed as if they were discussing something, but she could not hear a single sound.
The entire world became incomparably quiet, and all sounds died out. There was only one clear thought that dominated her heart.
"His Lordship is here."
"I must warn him that this is a trap!"
The power and influence of the Empire that she had witnessed over the past few months was deeply rooted in the girl's heart. The arrogance and coldness of the Empire's nobles was like a poisoned blade stuck in her heart, eating away at her courage. Only in the deepest part of her nightmare could she see the ending with her own eyes.
She saw Brando die to save her. She saw everything in Valhalla turn to dust. She saw everyone's efforts turn to dust. Everything she was familiar with, the fragile support and support in her heart, completely collapsed and ceased to exist.
"No, no …!"
"I can change all of this …"
A voice seemed to echo in her heart, "You can." It was Ovina's voice. It was soft and gentle, like a guide, telling her how people told another story thousands of years ago.
The Knight who slept at the bottom of Lake Elaine was named Azure.
"Because this is your destiny (and my destiny)."
"You will control it (just like mortals control their own destinies)."
"One day (one day)."
The two voices overlapped in her heart.
She saw a sword, standing at the peak of a thousand mountains. She saw another Knight, pointing at his spear and swearing in the storm. Every word was sonorous, as if carved into metal.
It was as if from that moment on, a new era had arrived. The Silver Folk hid in the mountains, the Golden Folk no longer coveted the throne, and on the other side of the great plains, a group of Iron Folk walked out of the thorns and ignorance.
In the middle of summer that year, stars filled the night sky. The constellation that represented the Dragon of Darkness still dominated the southern half of the sky. To these people, they didn't think too much about it. They just looked out of the plains through the flickering light of the torches.
And there, was a new world.
The year of change.
The Flame King Gretel led the humans through the great plains and arrived at Osoppao.
It was as if the long river of history was unstoppable, and the blessings of the gods were ultimately obtained by the mortals. This was the beginning of the mortal world, and also the final words left behind by the gods.
The girl softly replied: "I — —"
"It's the Azure Knight (Scarlet)."
At this moment, the girl's heart was filled with resolute emotions. She was willing to sacrifice everything to reverse a certain inevitable outcome. It was as if the entire world had been turned upside down, but it could not compare to a certain thought in her heart at this moment.
Golden flames burned in her eyes as her mortal bloodline faded. Her eyes turned pure silver, then gradually turned golden. It was as if the bloodline of the Miirna people had manifested in this young girl who was a child of the mountains.
The flames were filled with memories. Time flowed like water, as if it was yesterday. She saw the carved window lattice of Castle Abies, and the warm afternoon sun shining through the stained glass and into the room filled with her memories.
The girl lay weakly on the bed, holding the golden apple that the adults gave her. The juice of the sacred fruit was like sweet spring water, flowing into her heart.
She saw a tall figure standing in front of the bed, telling her solemnly:
"One day, Scarlet, you will pursue your own happiness."
"Such happiness … …"
The mountain girl's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She finally understood the true meaning of this sentence: "… … So it is to be the master of one's own destiny."
Even if it is the most ordinary destiny.
But no one can help others make a choice.
What is destiny — —
It is the sword and the fire, the iron and the blood. It is a poem passed down from generation to generation. Life is full of obstacles, but in the end, it is a choice. Once a choice is made, the sword of destiny will return to the hands of mortals.
At this moment, Scarlet was holding the sword in her hand.
Vaguely, she seemed to see an army of tens of millions charging towards the pitch-black full moon in the sky on strange vehicles.
She saw flying dragons, strange construct creatures, valkyries, giants, and all kinds of creatures that only existed in myths and legends. Tens of thousands of them attacked the giant shadow above the clouds.
She saw silver-eyed elves with pointed ears, wizards in snow-white robes, humans, dwarves, roaring as they launched a counterattack against the dark army on the horizon. Tens of thousands of soldiers fought against each other.
Then, she saw herself.
A dark-skinned girl with a long red ponytail, gritted her teeth, and eyes full of unyielding determination, switching between the ages of fourteen and nineteen.
This was a girl from the mountains of Chablis. She should have been so inconspicuous, but the coincidence of fate made her stand here at this moment.
And at this moment, she wanted to make a decision that she would not regret, just like the sages of the past.
Scarlet raised the spear in her hand, and there seemed to be a faint resonance above the clouds. A beam of light immediately pierced through the clouds and went straight down.
Four seals of the Azure Lance were released in a row.
An invisible ripple spread out in all directions, and the banquet was suddenly in chaos. The nobles who had yet to react were pushed to the side by Peimoneng's power. The knights were shocked, and they pulled out their swords and rushed over. In the distance, the court wizards were rising into the sky, chanting a long spell.
But all of this.
At this moment, in Scarlet's eyes, it was like a slow-motion picture. She looked up and roared, and the clouds suddenly flashed, and thunder poured down like a rainstorm. The court Knights who were drawing their swords were suddenly thrown out, and the wizards who had just ascended fell one after another like stones.
Scarlet's body was surrounded by electric snakes, and the electricity in her eyes was blazing. She was like the legendary God of Thunder. She raised her spear again, and a flash of electricity fell from the periphery of the Garden of the White Rose. The royal guards who were rushing in from outside were suddenly overturned.
The nobles around her had all retreated. Conrad dragged Henriette, who was at a loss, and rolled under a nearby table. Only the mountain prince, Ogeos, who was as strong as a bear, was still standing in front of him.
The latter was also shocked.
Scarlet did not even think, and pointed her spear at him.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket swept towards Ogeos. The Highland Prince couldn't react in time. If it weren't for his guards who sacrificed themselves to save him, he would have been beaten to a pulp. But even so, two of his guards were still turned into charcoal.
But Ogeos did not even look at them.
At this moment, he only had eyes for Scarlet, and only the spear in her hand with countless exquisite patterns on its surface.
It was the carvings of mountains and storms, the earth and the sky.
There was only one spear with such patterns on it.
It was born between the mountains and storms, and hibernated under the mountains and the earth.
The Holy Spear of Heaven.
The legendary holy relic of the mountain people.
"The Spear of Gods and Demons, Gabolug …" Ogeos' eyes were filled with fanaticism, and he muttered the legendary name of the Azure Spear in the mountain people. He was almost intoxicated as he reached out to Scarlet, "How did you get this, quick, give me the spear, give it to your man —"
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. In the legend of the mountain people, the one who had the Azure Spear could rule the world.
Yes, he was the destined one. Martha had used this woman to send the spear to him, and from this moment on, he had already regarded Scarlet as his private property.
He would become the king of the mountain people, and truly rule the mountains of the Lache of Wa once again. It was not just a small piece of land of the Empire, but it was reclaiming its original meaning, the title of Wohnde by the mountain people.
This woman was his future queen.
And his spear.
Few people knew that Ogeos was born with the strength of an Upper Gold, and that he was the Chosen One. The mountain people carefully covered up this news, because every Chosen One in history would eventually change the world.
Just like the Flame King Gretel.
Just like Erouine's predecessor, Erik.
Or the Earth Sword Saint, Darius.
Ogeos also believed in this. He was born different, and at this moment, it was proof that fate had crowned him.
Not far away, Henriette hid under the table, and Conrad covered his mouth tightly. He stared, almost thinking that the mountain people's prince was crazy.
"This guy is so arrogant —?"
Although his mind was in a mess, he could not help but wonder: What was Her Majesty doing? Was that the real Azure Spear?
Scarlet frowned.
She sensed a threat from the humanoid beast in front of her. She originally thought that the mountain people's prince was an honored guest invited by the Silver Queen, and as long as she threatened this person, she might be able to get the queen to let the feudal lord leave.
Over the past few months, she had heard some rumors about the relationship between the mountain people and the Empire from the mountain people's maids. She guessed that since the Silver Queen wanted to bribe the mountain people, she would not let anything happen to the mountain people's prince in the Garden of the White Rose.
But the truth was a little out of her expectations.
She did not expect this guy to be so reckless, and what made her feel even more helpless was that Her Majesty did not seem to see this scene, and did not say a word as she watched coldly from the side.
The nobles in the courtyard had already fled, and the Knight who got up from the ground immediately protected the Silver Queen, Constance, who was on the main seat of the stairs.
The latter only looked at the scene expressionlessly, as if this banquet was not hosted by her, but there was a slightly strange look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
The maids next to her trembled, not understanding the situation in front of them. Everything that was happening now was terrible. Not only would Her Majesty lose face, but the prestige of the royal family would also plummet.
But what they did not understand was why Her Majesty, who usually paid attention to this, would remain silent at this moment. What made them even more uncomfortable was that if the supreme person of the Empire did not say anything, they would not dare to say anything.
They could only tremble and wait —
On the field, Prince Augus took a step forward and held out his hand, "Give me your spear."
Scarlet frowned.
Her stubbornness had obviously angered Augus.
"Damn stupid woman, do you know what you are doing? You dare to attack your future husband, in the Lache of Va, I will throw a shameless woman like you to the lowest of the low! "
"This person is crazy …" Henriette, who was lying under the table, had this thought in his mind. Then, he saw Scarlet raising her spear and thrusting it towards the burly prince. She was determined to die, and every time she attacked, she would give it her all. The Emerald Spear had bright sparks on it, and it struck Ogeos's chest.
But what everyone did not expect was …
Augus actually reached out and grabbed, like a human Tyrannosaurus, he grabbed the Azure Spear's blade. The sharp spear cut open his palm and pierced half an inch into his chest, and then it could not go any further. Countless electric lights surrounded and jumped on his exposed skin, but the mountain prince looked like nothing had happened, and coldly looked at Scarlet.
"Whoosh!"
The Silver Queen stood up from the main seat with bright eyes.
Unknowingly, the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn had also quietly stood beside the supreme person of the Empire.
"The pinnacle of the Elemental Enlightenment level, not bad for a human of this age." The latter replied.
The Silver Queen turned around, her eyes seemed to hide a bright knife, flashing with a terrifying cold light, "Thirty years ago, my astrologer told me that the Chosen One was born in the Lache of Va, but then there was no news. It seems that the news that was covered back then was indeed this person —"
"The fact that Firmament could hurt him means that the blood of the divine in his body is very thin. Although he is half of Odin's level, he is far from the little girl sixty years ago." The Dragon Queen replied.
After all, that was a pure-blooded divine.
The Silver Queen moved her lips, but in the end, she did not say anything.
"What do you plan to do?" Gwendolyn looked back at her.
"Alright, let Atatrice and the others enter. The girl can be given to him, but the Azure Spear cannot fall into his hands for the time being." The Silver Queen replied coldly.
"What about Darius' grandson?"
"Just a mortal. Since he is here, there is no need for him to leave."
After getting this answer, Gwendolyn turned around and silently glanced at the Queen, then she turned her head again. There seemed to be no extra expression on her face, but in the vertical prismatic eyes, there was a faint smile.
The Silver Queen looked at the messy banquet scene with disgust. It seemed that this private engagement banquet had completely failed, but for the few people present, they had each gotten what they wanted most.
As for the uninvited guest, the supreme person of the Empire did not take it to heart. In the battle of the Frost Dew Manor, she had already figured out the other party's bottom line.
At this moment, those who were lying in ambush near the White Rose Garden were not just Atatrice and the Witch Queen, but had gathered almost all the top forces that the Empire and the Royal Family could mobilize at this moment.
If the other party did not appear, perhaps they could escape with their lives, but since they were here, there was no more after.
As for Darius' grandson …
Constance shook her head lightly. Memories of the past, the breeze in the Wilderness of the Four Realms, the warm afternoon sun, and even of that face, had long disappeared with the wind.
A few witches rose into the sky — —
And Augus was smiling wickedly as he reached out his hand towards Scarlet's slender neck.
Everything seemed to have a predetermined outcome.
But there was an exception to this uninvited voice — —
The voice was as cold as ice, as if it was narrating a story of heaven and earth. Its owner said indifferently,
"If I were you, I would be more careful with my actions."
"That way, I would not feel so regretful when I go to hell — —"
Ogeos was stunned for a moment before he raised his head with a frown.
