Behind the Palais Morlay is a small royal estate with an artificial lake and elaborate gardens, and unlike the rest of the Palais de Morlais, only members of the royal family can travel here, not even the attendants.

Since Emperor Israel Delmond and his wives and concubines, there are not many members of the royal family, and there are only eight heirs in total, and the eight princesses have died at an early age because of bloodline matters, and after Israel has completely advanced to the middle level of legends, no descendants have been born, and now there are only the eldest prince, the second prince, the third princess, the fourth prince, the fifth princess, the sixth prince and the seventh prince.

This is also a pity for the extraordinary powerhouses, due to the too strong strength and the nature of life, it is difficult for them to combine with ordinary life to produce descendants, and only the first head of the Sky Knights in history has a descendant with the strength of the legendary middle level and a humanoid golden dragon, and that golden dragon lady is also the strength of the peak of extreme will, otherwise it will not be able to conceive.

Because his sister died at a young age due to the defect of the nature of life, and now the Seventh Prince is the youngest of all the emperor's descendants, at this time, this young man with dark golden hair and sky blue eyes is practicing martial arts in a remote corner of the royal garden, tempering his breathing, meticulous posture, not the slightest lazy and slippery.

Now it is late winter, the leaves and branches in the manor are snow-white, like ice sculptures, the surface of the artificial lake is also condensed like a mirror, the cold in this frost-like woods is pressing, if ordinary people come here to take a turn, not to mention a cold, at least they will be cold and shivering, but the seventh prince who looks like he is in his teens has no feeling, and even his forehead is constantly oozing sweat because of exercise, and his body is steaming.

Breathing and movement are coordinated, mobilizing the energy in the body, and the astonishing heat turns into white steam coming out of the top of his head, like a pillar of smoke, halfway through the exercise, he even feels a little too hot, so he impatiently tears off his clothes, revealing a strong and well-proportioned body under the clothes, and there seems to be a layer of fighting light in the flesh and blood inside the smooth muscle lines, blocking the surrounding cold.

"Oooo

The Seventh Prince Alva originally wanted to continue to hone his breathing technique, but he saw a small shadow not far away that was rushing towards him, the young man smiled slightly, and then squatted down to catch the little tree man who didn't seem to brake the car and wanted to hit him. He whispered to the tree man with a violet flower on his head, "What, does the mother have any news for me?" ”

"Twitter, goo......"

The little tree man let out a cute muttering voice, which seemed to be illogical, but Alva seemed to understand, and he frowned slightly: "Is that so?" I see, I do need to think about it. ”

The dark golden hair, countenance, and excellent physical fitness of the Seven Princes were undoubtedly inherited from his emperor father, and the ability to communicate with the Treants was inherited from his mother, but the sky-blue eyes were neither like Israel nor Empress Edna, it should be a bloodline mutation or a special ability formed after the day after tomorrow, after listening to all the words of the little Treant, Alva patted the top of the Treant's head, and then put it back, allowing it to return to the garden after completing its mission and turn into a violet again.

"Earl Radcliffe......"

The royal manor fell silent again, and the Seventh Prince, who was alone, had no interest in continuing to exercise, and the young emperor's heir simply sat on the snow, looked up at the sky, and muttered in a slightly envious tone: "Another new legend......

A few years ago, Alva, who had accompanied his father Israel to the office and received the news from Nostradamus, had been extremely envious of the Northland Earl, who had a sage inheritance and had advanced from silver to extreme intention in just one year.

But after a few years, after some things, Alva clearly understood that his ability was not as high as he imagined, and the warrior who had become a legend would never be a person who relied on luck, and no one could sublimate his life essence by luck and become an extraordinary high existence, and every strong man had his own unique advantages.

That's really a character who is more outstanding than himself.

It is precisely because he keeps hearing the deeds of the earl and other young masters in the palace that the Seven Princes will always be unremitting in their hard work, with the help of royal resources, advanced inheritance and the best teachers, Alva now also has the silver realm, plus the arrival of the demon tide, his strength has progressed by leaps and bounds, and it can be regarded as a silver intermediate level, honing his fighting spirit. And his silver realm is still different from ordinary silver, his strength is so deep that he can win even if he fights with several knights of the same level.

But that's not enough.

Not to mention compared with that earl, even compared with that one, his royal brother who had never met, the second prince Dimore, it was too far behind.

Among the only seven remaining emperors' heirs, only three are worthy of Avar's attention, among them, the eldest prince is now leading a province in the east of the empire, exercising government affairs, and his strength is to take advantage of the arrival of the demon tide to break through the gold, although his strength is outstanding, and there are many nobles who support him, but when it comes to personal strength, the seven princes believe that they will be able to completely surpass it in a few years.

The five princesses are obsessed with painting and magic technology, and are now studying in the Guantian White Pagoda in the Eastern Plains, and are also well-known painters who are hot there, her personal strength is rumored to have a golden intermediate level, or even a high-level level, with her mother's strength, the hidden power of this princess can not be underestimated, plus the group of powerful mage friends in the White Tower, and even slightly larger than the prince, fortunately, the five princesses do not seem to plan to return to China to compete at all, she is dedicated to the highest level of painting art and the truth. Throne? Don't disturb Princess Ben to delve into the truth!

As for the other princes and princesses, some of them followed a few strong people of the royal faction to travel, and some stayed in the imperial capital, but in general, they were relatively mediocre.

And Alva himself, when it comes to potential power, with Queen Edna and the family behind him as the backing, he is actually not inferior to his brothers and sisters, but his personal strength is really a little open because of the age gap, among the three noteworthy people, even the eldest prince who is not interested in martial arts, with the excellent blood of the royal family, he actually has the strength above the level of his peers, and the five princesses, who pay more attention to knowledge than pure power, also have the strength of the golden middle level, Not to mention the rumored second prince who has been honed in the army and has had the peak strength of gold since he returned.

This is a world of extraordinary powers, and sometimes the power behind it is far more important than the power behind it, especially when this generation of emperors started out in war, and Israel is especially concerned about this.

Silver and gold peaks, this kind of gap, has been desperately big, two people with the same talent, and the same hard work, the decisive thing between the two is time and luck, and when it comes to luck, Alva only knows that he is not bad, but it is by no means good, and time is completely on the side of Dimore.

Now, the father is in good health, and his children don't need to fight, just like the young dragon doesn't fight for territory with his brother before his parents leave, but Alva, as a smart person, always thinks more, for example, if one day, as a legendary powerhouse who suppresses everything, Israel suddenly doesn't want to be emperor and travels around the world, then what should they do with the heir reserves? No one will give up the position of emperor.

- The father loves all his children equally, so he loves no one.

Thinking of this, Avar shook his head slightly, the young prince had already seen his father's intentions, even more clearly than his mother. Israel didn't intend to appoint an heir at all, he sent the eldest prince to study government affairs, let the five princesses who liked spells go out to study, and the other princes and princesses did what they wanted to do according to their own hearts, so that everyone's future achievements would naturally be divided into high and low, and the strongest of them would be the next generation of emperors.

However, the father was particularly harsh on the second emperor's brother.

Thinking of this, Avar couldn't help but clench his fists, and the boy closed his eyes and frowned.

Harsh treatment, in the royal does not mean suppression, but means higher and more expectations, it is precisely because of expectations and dissatisfaction that they will be supervised, let it be tempered. A legendary powerhouse, or the emperor's expectations, if it can't be achieved, it's fine, but if Di Moore really completes his father's tempering, then can he really compare to him?

Smart people will weigh the pros and cons, Avar is naturally a smart person, if he is not in the royal family, but an ordinary big family to compete for the position of head of the family, then Alva will naturally give up, he knows the limit of his ability, so sometimes he takes a step back and opens the sky. But the royal family is different, the seventh prince knows that there are several big nobles standing behind him, as well as his own queen mother, and it is in the interests of all of them to compete for the next throne, and this is not something that he can give up if he says alone.

"Apprenticeship, indeed, worshipping a legendary powerhouse as a teacher is the only way for me to barely catch up with my brothers and sisters in terms of personal force."

Thinking about the message from his mother, Alva pondered for a long time, then smiled dumbly and shook his head: "But why did that Earl of the Northland take me as an apprentice, why, my mother really thinks too much...... I'd better be myself and think about the rest of the story. ”

After gathering his thoughts, the young Seven Princes got back to his feet, and he returned to the woods of the garden, and in a short time, the sound of breathing and the exercise of breaking the air of his limbs resounded in the garden.

Time flies, and a month flies by in a flash.

It is now the 835th year of Starfall, April 20th.

In the Northland, in the Lord's Mansion, Joshua was preparing to set off for the imperial capital.

At this time, the spring thunder shook, and even the weather in the Northland began to gradually warm, and the snow in the fields began to melt gradually, and in some places, the peasants had already begun to plow the fields in preparation for planting, and the workers who expanded the city also started work again, not to mention the warmer rest of the Empire, who resumed their labor more than half a month earlier than in the Northland.

The arrival of spring, also means the arrival of the early spring celebration, as the beginning of the year in essence, each year's celebration needs to be presided over by His Majesty the Emperor himself, this is not a complicated ceremony, but a laughing carnival, many children in the imperial capital childhood memory of the most profound is the annual early spring celebration, they can always live on this day extremely full and happy.

Of course, this time may not be the same.

At this time, the scheduled date of the celebration was approaching one day by one, but the atmosphere in the imperial capital was still extremely dull and depressing, and many nobles did not allow their children to go out, but just stayed cautiously in the mansion, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

Of course, Joshua knew why, although the others were in the Northlands, the news was not blocked, and of course the warrior knew about the fact that Israel and Nostradamus had disappeared for several months for no reason, and the moment he knew, he had already guessed where the other party was.

The Fog of Divine Doom, and the Void Stargazing Place.

"If you think about it, the reason is still mine."

Joshua stood in front of the mirror, and cooperated with Hotaru to take out one set of dresses after another, he didn't know what dressing was, so he was happy to let the silver-haired girl worry about him, anyway, it didn't matter what he was wearing, even if a legendary powerhouse wore armor in the past, those nobles would naturally find a lot of plausible explanations for him, but since he could wear it better, it would naturally look better, after all, in addition to taking care of His Majesty's face, he himself also represented the Radcliffe family.

"What is the reason, master?"

At this time, Hotaru was constantly taking out all kinds of dresses from the wardrobe, and stood on tiptoe to gesture on the warrior's body, this magical girl who once couldn't even change her costume has now become a master of costume matching under the influence of the maids, she muttered 'this is too frivolous', 'this color doesn't match', 'this is too thin', while taking the time to ask her master curiously.

"When I first told them about the true function of the Mists of Doom, I knew that Israel would definitely take Nostradamus to take them around all the Mists of Doom in the Empire and experience it."

Looking at the busy Hotaru, Joshua chuckled, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, he has probably mastered the mysteries of divinity now, and observing the divinity of other gods is naturally a means for him to progress, as for the Void Stargazing Station, it should be related to Master Nostradamus." ”

After all, it was the most obvious and vulnerable place in time and space, and it was also the closest place in the McCrove world to the Great Demon Tide.

Thinking of this, the warrior glanced at Hotaru, who was still entangled, shook his head, took a black dress and said, "That's it, I wear other colors too brightly, this one suits me better." ”

"Eh, don't, master, you've worn this color too many times, and there's no freshness at all!"

Seeing that Joshua directly rejected the collocation she had been thinking about for a long time, the girl couldn't help but wail: "There is still a lot of time, we can continue to choose a little more, for example, this silver-gray style is a bit like a battle armor, it is very suitable for you......"

"There's not much time, my Hotaru, I'm going to the imperial capital early." Joshua kindly reminded: "The celebration will start at noon, and it is already ten o'clock in the morning, Brandon and Verdani are waiting for me in the imperial capital now, what I promised will be done, and the legendary powerhouse is not a reason to be late." ”

"But the big guy should have appeared as late as possible...... "The girl muttered to herself, sounding very unwilling.

But Joshua nodded: "You're right. He looked up and looked at the sky pointedly: "It's true that the later the big guy appears, the better." ”

But sometimes if you don't go early, you can't see a good show from the beginning to the end.

"I'm going too!"

And at this moment, a voice came from the ceiling.

Miss No. 3's magic projection slowly fell from mid-air, and the winged girl frowned, pinched the corner of the warrior's clothes, and said in a resolute tone: "Joshua, I'm going too!" ”

“…… Of course I won't refuse, but how do you go. In the face of the extremely rare No. 3, it is better to say that there is only one resolute request since the encounter, and the warrior will naturally not refuse, anyway, with his identity, even if he takes the entire Lord's Palace with the Archbishop of St. Lauren's Cathedral with his apprentice, let alone one more person, but he is a little strange: "Do you want me to bring your body over?" It's a bit dangerous. ”

"Looks like you forgot...... Of course you don't have to! For some reason, No. 3's voice became a little muffled, and the delicate real person-like magic projection quickly dissipated, leaving only one sentence in the air: "I'll be here right away!" ”

Joshua and Hotaru glanced at each other, and Rin, who heard the movement at this time, also poked out half of his face from the study, and the three of them were a little puzzled, and the black-haired young man said, "This...... Miss No. 3 said 'I'll be right back', right? ”

Everyone didn't know if the artificial intelligence had made a mistake in grammar just now, but then, with the exclamation of the ladies downstairs, a dull and heavy footsteps approached the second floor step by step.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The roar of steel and the mournful roar of the obsidian floor resounded in unison, and in the shocked eyes of the Divine Machines siblings and warriors, the living metal structure, the steel girl weighing 2,255 kilograms (and some other devices) appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and where she passed, the stone slabs shattered, the stairs cracked, and the entire lord's mansion from the basement to the second floor was in shambles.

"Joshua, this is your gift to me."

Snorting and smiling, the petite but weighty No. 3 controlled her steel body, her arms were folded in front of her chest, and she smiled and said, "I'm already a little tired of seeing the Northland, take me to the imperial capital you have been talking about!" ”
