A gust of wind, the north is born, and it blows south.

It walked through the forest, where dragons were fabled, and over the massive boulders known as the Dragon's Border.

Here, the disgusting sweetness of decay has faded, and the trees are in full bloom with spring flowers, which should have been summer, and all the bushes are draped in the pale green of new leaves, and all the branches are dotted with the reddish of new shoots, and when the wind blows, the fields ripple like verdant ponds.

Before it reached the stone walls, the smell of death in the wind had long since disappeared, and it blew to the top of a tower, on the top of which two men were dancing as if they were dancing.

The tower to the north is a guardian tower that looks out over Dubrovnik from across the Adriatic Sea.

The chill in the wind made the shirtless knight shiver, he held a bamboo sword for practice in his hand, his fingers tapped the long hilt lightly, under the hot sun, his chest was already full of sweat, his black hair was wet with sweat and clinging to his head, the faint smell of the wind made him sniff slightly, and an ancient tomb flashed in his mind, but he didn't associate the two, in fact, he was trying to maintain the ethereal spirit in his mind, the top of this tower was about ten steps wide, and they were the guardians of the tower.

But they are more like lookouts from afar than guardians, and the dragon's figure has not been seen around the tower in a hundred years......

The Guardian wears a narrow braided hair band tied to his forehead to prevent long hair from falling to his face, and the Bamboo Sword replaces the blade with a bundle of thin, loosely tied bamboo branches, which crackles loudly and leaves a bruise if it hits the flesh.

The wind rose again, and for a while, the top of the tower was filled with the crackling, crackling, crackling sound of a series of bundles of bamboo pieces rushing to each other.

It has been said that if a knight becomes a guardian, they will never be able to leave the tower for the rest of their lives, and their life's duty is to guard Dubrovnik from afar.

If there was anything they could get, it was the sword that the king had given them, both a sword and an honor.

Among those swords was a modest sword, the Guardian often pulled the blade out and observed and inserted it back into its sheath.

If the Guardian was emotional, the slight frown on his face at the moment could be considered to be almost endowed with a deeper meaning, on the other hand, the sword was a special sword, their blades were so strong that they could not be engraved on them by ordinary blacksmiths, but they carried the mark of the royal family, and they became very valuable.

Although the Cassadine family sword is more famous than the royal sword in the Dubrovnik Kingdom, the Cassadine family's supreme craftsmanship in making legendary swords has long been lost, and the royal sword is one of the highest swords that can be made today.

Moreover, there are not many people who can reach the level of the Cassadine family's swords, but the remaining swords are far from one per person, so most of the high-level swords are made by the royal family's high-ranking blacksmiths, and they are made of the finest steel that humans can make.

One of the knights whispered, "If I had been a better choice, maybe I wouldn't have become a Guardian here." ”

"Why? It's very safe here, except for some boredom. Another Guardian asked rhetorically.

"Fuck safe, I just have itchy hands and want to go to the battlefield."

"Battlefield? Oh, that's right, the counterinsurgency war waged by Lord McLandall has begun, and the lords and knights are fighting bloodily, and soon the victory or defeat of the war will come from afar. ”

"Whether it is the knights of the Chriss, or the knights of the Cassadine family or the Otto family, they are far more glorious than us, they can fight for their beliefs, whether they succeed or fail, they are practicing the creed of knights, and if we do nothing for the rest of our lives, we can only achieve nothing!"

"It's the meaning of the guardian, the knight of the guardian is born to protect the tower, to protect the watchtower north of Dubrovnik, the strategic significance of this watchtower is by no means extraordinary, it is a safe information barrier to the north of Dubrovnik, what we have to do is to guard this place."

"But what does it have to do with us Guardians? When Dubrovnik was attacked, we could only watch from afar, and when the counterinsurgency war was launched, we could only wait from afar, we were closer than guardians, but exiles! ”

"Someone has to guard this tower, no matter what happens, our guardian duty is always here, even if the sky falls, we should die here, not on the battlefield, these things should have been understood in the first place."

"If I knew I wouldn't have come to this fucking place, it's so peaceful and lonely, if I could hear those horns and the sounds of fighting, I'd be crazy, right, you must think I'm crazy, I want to fight, fight as a knight, not hide in the tower."

"Courage is commendable, but as a knight, you should also be able to endure loneliness."

"Lonely? I'm not here for loneliness, I dream of fighting dragons! ”

"Who knows, maybe the legendary dragons will come back from the north, just like those alchemists prophesied."

"You believe that, too? Yes, our former King of Rollsheen was killed by a dragon, but so far we've only found one dragon still alive in the dead forest, so what else could there be new? Is it just a dragon that dares to attack us? ”

"Just?" The Guardian laughed, "If the dragon that killed King Rolls Sheen had come from the north, the tower would have been razed to the ground, and the battle would have been a hundred times more terrifying than on the battlefield." ”

"That's why I'm still guarding here, if it dares to attack, I'll definitely slaughter that dragon, even if I die under the dragon's claws, that's the glory of the knight, this is the fucking glory of the knight, I've had enough of these boring days, there's nothing more fucking up than safety!"

"It's a blessing to be alive, I'm not afraid of death, but I want to be alive."

"Sometimes life is torture, let's put an end to these boring days, no matter what a dragon or a robber, don't let my sword rot before it is unsheathed! Never! ”
