Chapter 324 The Sea of ​​Flowers

Weeping Moon Corolla, Old Maple Mansion.

The crisp sound of swords colliding from time to time came from the courtyard. After finishing the task of transcribing in the morning, Jerain and the knights under his command practiced their swords.

Because it's an exercise, it doesn't use too many extraordinary abilities, it's more of a skill-based competition.

Things like combat need to be practiced or used from time to time to maintain, otherwise, if you don't touch the weapon for a long time, some reactions will gradually degenerate and forget.

Several great knights were also watching at the moment. Some of them were leaning against tree trunks, some were sitting on wooden stakes beside them, and most of them were standing and watching.

"Linton is very good. He can actually compete with His Royal Highness." Several knights on the side commented on the figure who was fighting with Jerain.

The knight on the field is named Linton, with short reddish brown hair, a dark green burqa, and silver-white plate armor inside. In battle, this knight is agile and sharp-eyed, even if his strength is not as good. Jerain, but he can always handle the opponent's offense very well, and counterattack from time to time to gain space and opportunity for himself.

"Bah..."

Once again, the blades staggered, and Jerain used strength to press down the opponent's blade, then slashed back, and took advantage of the situation to blow the long sword in the opponent's hand.

At this critical moment, Linton did not panic, but decisively let go of his hand to avoid the attacking blade, rolled on the spot, pulled out the short sword on his waist, and stabbed Jerain in the back.

With a ding, the dagger struck the armor, then stopped.

The two stopped each other, and the people on the side also helped Linton pick up the sword.

"Your fighting style is like a ranger." Jerain took the towel from the attendant and commented while wiping his forehead.

"Hahaha, Your Highness really has a good eye, and you can see the origin of this kid Linton at a glance." The knight on the side let out a hahaha laughter, then stepped forward, and you explained it every word.

It turned out that although Linton was from a noble family, his family's tradition was rather eccentric. When he was a boy, men would live in the mountains of the territory as the family's rangers.

During this time, the old hunters or rangers in the family will usually teach the teenagers some knowledge of survival in the mountains, as well as the skills of fighting beasts and beasts.

When they grow up, they will gradually enter the small towns and villages under the mountain, and deal with some simple tasks, such as sweeping away thieves and robbers, or driving and killing monsters and so on.

In this way, only when they are adults will they be recognized by the family and officially become one of them.

Although childhood and adolescence will be more difficult, it is undeniable that this also allows Linton's family to maintain a relatively good family style and will not easily fall.

And the downside, of course, is that such a segregated life keeps Linton's family outside the mainstream aristocratic circle, and some upper-class aristocrats don't like such rude people. One of Jerain's followers, but still unfamiliar with reasons.

There are too many nobles who want to get close to the heir of the Griffin family. It was never his turn before. Until now, he has been living in the forest, and Linton has gradually become prominent.

"It's very interesting, maybe others don't understand it, but I believe this is indeed an ancient and practical tradition in the Western Territory."

Jielan didn't laugh like the people around him, but nodded in appreciation. He had read the books in his home and knew the origins of the nobles in the Western Region. During the disaster at the beginning of the third era, those heroes who fought bravely against Chaos Often the background is not high, many are rangers, soldiers, hunters, and so on.

It was also because the fire was saved in the disaster that was later recognized by the church and the world, and this became the earliest group of nobles, and then the most famous hero in the Western Territory founded the Griffin family.

Such a tradition should not be ridiculed, but unfortunately, the atmosphere in the empire has changed a long time ago, so few people know about those past knowledge.

After patting Linton on the shoulder, Jerain put away his blade and went to dinner with these knights.

Although compared to the past, his influence in the family and the western territory has been greatly weakened, but as the heir who has been expected and valued by everyone since he was a child, Jalan still retains a group of loyal knights.

These knights are not only able to ride horses and have high fighting strength, but many of them are the heirs of some noble families in the Western Region, which themselves represent a kind of political power.

On both sides of the large long table, the group of knights were enjoying their lunch, some nibbling on the roasted leg meat, and some munching on the sweet fruit.

In the Emerald Forest, although there is not much meat, there are plenty of fruits and grains, so there are often more fresh fruits in the daily recipes.

Sitting in the main seat, Jerain was eating lunch and drinking the fruit wine at hand, looking at the companions in front of him.

'Grace, Duncan, Commons, Trisk...'

He recited the names of these people silently in his mind, recalled the origins of these companions, and the time spent together over the years.

Many knights were his companions growing up with him. It was inappropriate to describe these people only as subordinates. Many of them said that they were friends and brothers of Jerain.

They have been trained together since childhood, studied together, went to Emenas, went to the battlefield together, etc., and they have cultivated a solid relationship with each other. Even now that Jerain is out of power, they will follow him to the forest without hesitation.

'I can't let these people be bleak all my life because of me. ’

After swallowing the last patty on the plate, Jerain wiped his mouth with a napkin, thinking so silently in his heart.

He knew that among these knights, as long as they were willing to leave, they would report to the Western Frontier Corps.

With their background and strength, it is easy to get a high-level military position. Now the Western Border has been expanding its troops, and opportunities to make money and gain military exploits are everywhere, but they are not comparable to their own.

If in the past, he was still the heir to the much-anticipated family, this would be nothing, but now the situation is obviously different.

Following him is not only a difficult problem, but also more likely to be suspected and suppressed by those in power in the future West. This is actually a danger, and it will become more and more obvious.

In the afternoon, Jerain rode a horse in the shade under the giant tree, followed by a few knights and elves.

"There is a group of fairies living in the oak forest in front. They like the sea of ​​amaryllis flowers in the oak forest, so when entering, they need to be careful not to step on those flowers and plants." The accompanying elves reminded Jerain.

"I see."

After walking for a distance, Jellan glanced at the small hut scattered among the trees, then turned over and dismounted, and walked forward with the group of people beside him. At this time, a few fairies were frolicking in the sea of ​​white amaryllis flowers.

Soon, these tall figures caught the attention of the fairies, and they suddenly disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then they carefully stuck their heads out to inquire about this person.

"Who is he? It feels so fierce."

"Humans, not elves."

"Will you come and catch us?"

"He still has a book in his hand?"

"It's a sheet of paper, and it's not stapled together."

In the whispers of the fairies, Jerain came under the tree and tried to say hello to the fairies, but he seemed to frighten these little guys and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"His Royal Highness rests here for a while, let's communicate with these fairies."

An elf female knight on horseback looked at the scene and wanted to laugh a little, but she held back. She took the Shiyao paper page in Jerain's hand and flew up easily.

The elves and the fairies deserve to be allies for thousands of years. After a while, these little guys and the elves landed in front of Jerain and others.

"Are you the big man that Sister Aigenvillea punished?"

"We've heard of it."

"It's amazing to actually find this place."

After knowing that these people would not harm themselves, these goblins became a lot more daring, and they circled around Jielan and a few people, commenting on this foreign human.

"Let me see, which poem do you want us to sing?"

""The Promised Sea of ​​Flowers, The Words She Left Behind", is this song, I haven't sung it before." After that, several goblins also gathered together and took down a piece of paper each, looking curiously.

"Humph, it's very simple, it's a story of a fool falling in love with a girl." A goblin with a dark purple dress said proudly.

"It's a bit of a sad story." Another goblin commented.

"Okay, I'll sing it once anyway, don't blame us if it's not good."

After speaking, several fairies flew up in the forest, holding hands, sitting on the branch, their white and slender feet swayed, and then sang this slightly sad song.

"White Dew Garden"

"An ancient tree stands tall"

"Poke the Blooming Branches"

"Grey Stone Revealed"

"Ah, people from the past"

"no longer"

"She told me under the tree that day"

"Future Things"

"Heart Jumps Like a Snow Mouse"

"Looking forward to the scene where we meet again in the future"

...

"The Years Gone"

"Yiren is not there"

"Return alone"

"The Sun Is Still"

"Cicadas chirping"

"Trance like a dream"

...

"The words she left behind"

"Handwriting of Comfort"

"Song of Farewell"

"Unforgettable Promise"

"The figure that will never meet again"

"The white skirt in the sea of ​​flowers"

"Swaying Like a Dream"

The clear and soft voices of the fairies sang this song with a touch of sadness. Although it was a little green, it seemed to fit the scene in Shi Yao.

The promise that was rashly made when I was a teenager, the hazy beauty in my memory, will always stop in time.

After a song was sung, the soft breeze still reverberated in the forest, and the white sea of ​​flowers under the oak forest swayed slightly, making people unable to distinguish the reality and the dream in Shi Yao for a while.

After a long time, Jerain slowly opened his eyes again.

This time, he didn't fall asleep, but he fully enjoyed the song. Although he was not like Shi Yaozhong, he met the girl of his dreams when he was a teenager, and made a future agreement, but he could also appreciate the beauty of Shi Yaozhong. A sad and beautiful emotion.

Perhaps, getting what you want is the most unforgettable and beautiful thing.

The son of the griffin stood up with emotion, thanked the fairies, and then slowly left the sea of ​​flowers and woods.

—————

Time passed unknowingly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for Roland Hill to leave.

"Are you leaving tomorrow, Lorraine?" Aigenweila was a little reluctant to part with the silver-haired girl.

Although she is the queen in the forest, she actually lives in the palace, and there are not many friends who can communicate and have fun. After Loren Hill left, it would take a while for her to get used to it.

"Yes, but don't worry, I will come to see Aigenweila often in the future." Roland Hill hugged the elf queen and stroked the long pink hair with her hands.

After a short while, the two separated and sat beside the small round table. This was a balcony in the Palace of the Green Moon, which was relatively quiet.

The fine sunlight shone on the palace under the shade of the tree, and the lake surface became a little clearer, and you could see the aquatic plants and a few swimming fish below.

"After Lorraine goes back, it is estimated that there will be a war in the empire." Aigenweila looked at the girl.

"Although that's true, Egenvira said it as if I started a war." Roland Hill felt that the elf queen didn't seem like someone who would ask this question.

"Vistina told me this, she asked me to prepare, and it is estimated that she will send a legion to support you in the future." Aigenweila quickly sold her friend, and she had no guilt at all. It seems that this is not something to hide.

Looking at Aigenweila's innocent appearance, Roland Hill wanted to rub this guy's head, although he didn't do anything less these days.

"Well, because the time is now ripe, I want to end the chaos within the empire."

"Lorraine is amazing." Aigenweila opened her eyes slightly and said what was in her heart.

"I'm not very good at politics and I don't know how to convince people, but I feel like Lorraine can do it."

"No, I can't convince anyone." Roland Hill said with emotion, and she looked at the scenery outside the balcony.

After experiencing all kinds of things in the empire, she no longer hopes to solve the problem gently by relying only on revolution or righteousness as she did in the past.

"Aigenweila, justice is a very violent act, sometimes even inhumane cruelty. There will be countless people cursing and hating you behind your back."

"But even so, we can't stop."

"I'm ready to take on these responsibilities."

After experiencing one thing after another, witnessing and accepting the legacy of one God Wing Sun predecessor after another, Roland Hill is no longer as hesitant as in the past.

She lowered her head, looked at herself in the cup, and slowly drank the tea in it.

"Is Loren going to use war to unify the empire?" Egenvira asked.

"Well, this is the only and inevitable choice."

"The old won't dissipate by itself, and if you want to build a new house on it, you can only smash it."

"But in this way, someone will speak ill of Roland." Aigenweila is not completely ignorant. As the queen of elves, she knows the consequences of this.

"Yes, then let them scold." Roland Hill quietly ran his fingers through the strands of hair in front of him.

"I don't run away from all this anymore."
