Chapter 275: Heart of the Holy Spring
Lu Xi knew that no matter what reason Karin was hiding in this remote place in the world, which was almost northernmost in the world, at least thousands of kilometers away from the imperial capital of Auckland, in the final analysis, it must have something to do with the matter of the imperial power struggle. Her Royal Highness, the world's No. 1 princess, is a person with a very clear purpose, and as long as she has established a direction, she will definitely go on unswervingly.
The Sacred Springs Dynasty of the Auckland Empire may once again usher in a new empress after Jezebeth II, although her ascension to the throne is not destined to be a quiet and boring succession. However, as long as he thought that in the future, the two major empires of the human world, one in the south and the other in the north, would enter the era of the empress, he felt that this world was really strange.
Of course, if we want to discuss the history of the royal Sacred Springs dynasty of Oakland, we must discuss the life of their founding emperor, one of the twelve heroes of enlightenment, Knoeus the Great; If we want to discuss Knous the Great, we must first discuss the legend of the Emperor's good friend, the leader of the Twelve Heroes, the Knight of the Dawn Parn.
Like the opening chapter of all bloody heroic knight stories, Pahn? Legris, born into an ordinary family of Oakland knights.
At that time, after the collapse of the Yanlong Dynasty, the Auckland Empire had entered the so-called Warring States Troubled Period.
Sengoku, we all know the urine nature of this era.
The Lancaster family, the Stoka family, the Jurgen family, the Tuluk family and other super gate lords of the previous dynasties have claimed the king, and they have been fighting for the supreme throne. Parn's father, on the other hand, was only a minor retainer of a vassal of an independent marquis, and he was awarded the title of knighthood for his modest military exploits. But after all, he is only a first-generation "nouveau riche", and he is not even qualified to have a "Fan" in front of his surname.
The beginning of the story is very old-fashioned. Pahn's father was killed in a battle, and the young knight, who was not very good at running the family business, left his son with an inheritance. Only a suit of armor and a steel sword. Then, as at the beginning of all heroic legends, the future superhero, who was only 15 years old, left his hometown to become a freelance mercenary in the city, and the epic journey began.
Then, Pahn reaps her own love, an elven girl who runs away from home, Tidlet. Of course, at that time, no one would believe it. This tsundere, willful and off-the-line little girl will become the High Priestess of the Goddess of Life and the leader of the Norda Wood Elves in the future.
After that, Pahn met many friends who were exemplary background figures, as well as good friends who were not background figures, the future founding emperor of the Holy Spring Dynasty, who was only the second son of the Marquis of Dimahia at the time.
Then, it was the beginning of the Qiming War recorded in the official history......
The so-called protagonist must be the one who has the so-called protagonist aura. The protagonist can be wiped out, NTR, and pushed off a cliff. Can be stabbed...... But he will definitely destroy the enemies in the future, he will definitely get a goddess-level sister paper that is 100 times more beautiful than his ex-girlfriend, he will definitely pick up the secret magic weapon at the bottom of the cliff or the grandfather who has lived for hundreds of years but can't wait to pass on all his skills to you, and his heart must grow on the right side.
It's a pity. Parn was not destroyed, not NTR, not jumped off a cliff. And the heart is on the left side and someone has been stabbed at the same time.
At this time, you can only rely on the aura of the legendary protagonist to save the scene.
Antiquity. "Magical Girl" ...... Well, that is, a group of crazy demonic creature researchers were born among the witches. Invented a very anti-human technology. They used the fruit of the Purple Night Thorn that grew in the Frost Whispering Forest, cultivated it through special magic, and then implanted it with the flesh of the creature to replace their original heart, and named it "Heart of Thorns".
The Heart of Thorns endowed these transhumans' superior combat power and restorative power, but it also made them have to be controlled by the witches who cast spells, and became the biological weapons of the "mad scientists".
Pahn's chest was pierced, and although he was breathed by the elves' life magic, it was only a matter of time before he burped, and the only way for him to survive seemed to be to turn to the heart of thorns, an "evil way" from the hands of witches.
However, the protagonist's aura is the protagonist's aura, the dignified Knight of the Dawn, the future savior can't be controlled by a group of neutral and evil female technocrats, unless he is not the protagonist. Although Payne is a good-hearted boy, both his girlfriend Tidlight and Keiyou Kenous are very dark masters, and they have already planned that if the operation is successful, they will kill the "benefactor".
However, the witch named Aya was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she had long seen the dark and cold hearts of the patients' families. To protect herself, instead of using the Purple Night Thorn Fruit, which had been corrupted by black magic, she used a new item.
In the center of the Frost Forest is a pool of perennially clear spring water that is said to have been blessed by the gods of the Holy Spirit. The water contains a very rich light and life magic, and it is said that just one bite can cure all kinds of diseases and strengthen the body.
The Aya witch once had a whimsical idea and threw a fruit of purple night thorns into the spring, but it took root and sprouted for Zeng Xiang, and slowly grew up in the nourishment of the sacred spring.
The thorn tree, which grew in the sacred spring, bore only one fruit, and its shell was not the glamorous and eerie purple of the past, but a brilliant and brilliant golden yellow like the dawn.
As we all know, the fruit that grew from this fountain became Parn's heart. His "skill" suddenly increased, and later he became the leader of the Dragon Knights and the leader of the Dawn Alliance.
This fruit, which replaced the heart of Parn, came to be known as the "Heart of the Sacred Spring".
Of course, this is also the only sacred spring heart in the world. In order to prevent a second Dawn Knight from appearing in the world, the demon legions under the command of the Lord of Calamity launched the Battle of the Frost Whispering Forest shortly thereafter. Both the Holy Thorn Wood and the Holy Spring that nurtured it were destroyed by the Abyss Lord Gnael's strategic fire magic, leaving only a shocking, barren pit in its place.
The above is the legend of the Knight of the Dawn Parn.
Of course, the power of the protagonist's aura is also limited. Especially when the protagonist of the story is going to be replaced. In the tragedy of the Scarlet Night, the Oathbreakers inflicted a mortal wound on Pahn with an elixir. Not even the Heart of the Holy Spring could once again protect his life. The Knight of Dawn asked to give his friend Knous the Heart of the Spring, and died in the arms of his lover.
Tiddelit returned home with Payne's remains. The coffin guarding his lover did not take half a step out of the Norda Forest. Inheriting the heart and legacy of his good friend, Knous's lake-blue pupils turned into a fiery true red from then on, and left his descendants with the bloodline talent of "True Red of the Holy Spring". He went on to lead the Dawn Alliance, eventually defeating the Six Demon Gods, and then using this prestige to establish a new unified dynasty in Auckland. The world calls it the "Holy Spring Dynasty".
As time passed, the magic of the Heart of the Sacred Spring faded over time. With the transformation of this artifact, which can almost be regarded as a national treasure, the life span of Emperor Knous beyond mortals has also come to an end, and with the destruction of the Holy Spring, there will probably be no second Heart of the Holy Spring in this world.
I said. Karin, you don't think I've come all the way here to listen to history lessons, do you? Or is it history that I all know? Lu Xi looked at Karin, who was talking eloquently, with a puzzled look. He knew that the other party would definitely not be untargeted, and his brain suddenly ran rapidly as if it were a conditioned reflex.
"There's nothing wrong with talking about history, at least it's going to be relevant to what we're going to talk about. Moreover, the reason why there are so many people studying history is because people can study the stories of the ancients without making the same mistakes, which is called progress. ”
"The most incorrigible thing about mortals is that they keep making the same mistakes. I also like history. But it's just because it's wonderful to see them as stories, but there's never the luxury of learning from history. Lu Xi felt that he was really in the bunker to be able to say such philosophical words, and he was complacent, and then he changed his cold expression and said slowly: "Say it." Karin, you must have something to do with the Heart of the Sacred Spring, right? It was now in the tomb of Emperor Knoeus. You're not going to let me accompany you to dig your ancestral grave, are you? ”
"All the magic of that thing is gone. At most, it's just a crystalline fruit, so why should I dig my own ancestral grave for a fruit? ”
It means that if the magic is still there. You're going to dig your own ancestral grave? O God! That Holy Spirit sister came by and said that lightning slashed and killed this non-mainstream who deceived teachers and destroyed ancestors!
"Why is that? Could it be that because of the blessing of the Holy Spirit, a second heart of the Holy Spring has appeared on this continent? Well. Could it be that the pond next to the Crystal Valley, the one called Qingchun Lake, could it be because the magic of that place is very similar to the holy spring back then, so it is possible to grow a second holy spring heart...... Meow, Karin, look at your expression, I won't be right from me. Look at my crow's mouth! Sure enough, human desires are unlimited after all! For the sake of their own vain interests, no matter how many years of black technology disappears, it will definitely be excavated from the ruins of history! ”
"That's why I said, my little Lu Xi is really smart in ice and snow! I thought you could only guess half of it at most, but I didn't expect it to be right, and it must be a very scary thing to be your enemy. It's okay, you're mine! ”
“…… No, I just guessed the beginning, but not the end. By the way, you just said the opposite, you can be mine, but I must still be my own, otherwise the position of the pure master will be wiped out again. Even Karin doesn't want to ruin my dreams! ”
"There will come a time when my dreams will be yours, dear Lu Xi." Karin said in a very firm tone, as if she was stating objective facts, "Of course, we will be really busy going out this time, not only to help Lady Grissa recover the bones of the Ice Swordmaster, but also to retrieve the Heart of the Holy Spring. In addition, before going out, you must also clean the tail of your hands. ”
"Teo?"
"Eh, you haven't forgotten why you fought with Barron and Bezareu, have you?"
"To tell you the truth, I have forgotten who Barron and Bessalio were?" (To be continued......)
