Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 71 Carlos' Teacher
The queen's arrival and rule successfully gave these poor fellows some breathing power. However, as the frustrated queen was put under house arrest, the Kalia royal family itself was also in trouble, and the status of the Platinum Sons plummeted again.

And the child in front of him obviously has the blood of the Kalia royal family, but he can't even learn the most basic magic.

Correspondingly, even the light of blessing in his eyes was dimmer than others, as if it might go out at any time.

Although no child dared to mock her in front of her, she knew that this seemingly strong boy must have received a lot of contempt and ridicule in places she could not see.

And as far as she knows, the legendary god-man Mikaela, brother of the Valkyrie, has his own holy tree.

Under his holy tree, all life will be treated equally, no matter it is ugly or beautiful, strong or weak, even those who are not blessed by the golden tree can receive equal blessings.

Should she take this child, and those platinum sons, to the legendary holy tree...

----------

The boy in front of him suddenly swung his sword in the air, and fell straight to the ground.

Loretta immediately came back to her senses, and with a movement of her body, she stood up from the ground in an instant, and flashed to the boy's side to catch him.

The young body has already reached its limit, so what kind of willpower can such a young child make him persist to this extent?
"It's good if you like to use a sword..." Looking at Carlos's tightly closed eyes, and confirming that his body is fine except for loss of strength, the beautiful knight of the imperial guard lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Wearing weapons to fight is different from magic. Only true love and indulging in it can comprehend the emotion."

"Then, you will eventually find your own strength from being moved."

The reason why she cares so much about the boy in front of her is not only because of her kindness and sympathy for the weak, but also because this boy has a strong will visible to the naked eye and an astonishing swordsmanship talent.

—Probably a little bit more, because he is so cute.

"You were born to wield a sword, Carlos."

"If this continues, one day, you will surpass me, and prove it to those who look down on you."

"Even without the talent to use magic, you will become stronger than all of them."

----------

It's already night.

The shallow lake reflected the bright moonlight in the sky.

The white phantom of the guard knight riding a horse appeared on the lake, and Li Lin almost shed tears.

Although the knight in front of him was wearing heavy plate armor covering his whole body, he knew that under the plate armor was Mrs. Loretta's gorgeous figure, elegant and beautiful tall female body.

Those warm and beautiful memories were like personal experiences, profound and full of nostalgia. Carlos really regarded this teacher who was very good to him as his mother.

And now, did her life die along with this dilapidated Kalia Fortress?

【Master Loretta...】

Letina suddenly spoke up.

"Do you know her?" Li Lin asked while looking at the knight riding in front of him with a sour mood.

【She is the protector of the Son of Platinum, the benefactor who helps us go to the holy tree】

In her right hand she held a long giant scythe upside down, while in her left hand she held a large round shield, driving a tall horse also in plate armor on her crotch, slowly walking towards Li Lin.

"What do you mean? Have you seen her? Is she still alive?"

Backing away slowly, Li Lin asked repeatedly.

[I have never met Lady Loretta in person, but her noble deeds and appearance are sung by the Platinum Sons]

[You seem to have misunderstood something. Although I don't know if she is still alive, the she here is just a phantom made of magic and obsession, not the remnant soul of the dead]

Seemingly aware of the urgency of the situation, Letina spoke faster.

【Master Loretta's phantom is about to attack you, get ready, I will help you】

Looking up, the phantom of the guard knight is indeed different from the ghostly blue Kalia knight before. The whole body of the man and the horse is composed of glass-like transparent white, and there is a strong magical atmosphere on his body.

Fortunately, she should not be dead yet...

While he breathed a sigh of relief, the phantom of the guard knight Loretta raised the scythe in his right hand.

Li Lin's eyes became sharp in an instant.

This is Kalia's strongest knight. Whether it is Kalia's magic or the giant scythe in her hand, she has mastered it to the point of proficiency.

Moreover, if they can defeat their most respected teacher, both Carlos and Loretta should be happy.

At the same time, Letina's phantom also appeared on the side.

Her phantom also has no legs, standing short on the ground, holding a pure white magic longbow, it seems that she has no ability to move.

The guard knight's scythe waved in the air, and a blue sword array appeared beside her.

He had seen this trick on the red wolf in Ladagon.

Next, I'm afraid it will be the lore where physics and magic are intertwined at the same time.

He who has inherited Carlos' memory knows a little bit how powerful the guard knight in front of him is.

Loretta's phantom raised her scythe and galloped towards her.

Carrying galloping horses, each man and one horse wearing heavy plate armor may weigh nearly two tons in total, and Loretta's war scythe swept forward with an unrivaled force.

This is an absolutely unstoppable blow.

However, if he dodges with a roll, at the same time the magical long sword flying from the sky will string him into a hedgehog.

Concentrating on his legs, Li Lin used the hound's steps again, and slid aside at a flashing speed.

This kind of pace puts a lot of burden on the legs. I didn't feel much when I used it on the Mountain Demon Knight before. Now I used it for the second time in a short period of time, and Li Lin immediately felt discomfort in the legs.

Use it up to two more times.

He makes judgments.

While dodging the attack, the guard knight's sweep this time was too powerful, which inevitably exposed flaws.

Letina's phantom took the opportunity and shot the magic arrow in her hand.

Three streaks of white light shot out, but were perfectly blocked by the guard knight's large shield.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Lin stepped forward and swung the curved blade in his hand towards the horse.

The guard knight, who was skilled in arching horses, clamped his legs and controlled the horse to lean back.

The hound's long fang's slash was dodged by the guard knight's horse control, and the curved blade slashed across the plate armor of the horse's forequarters. Although the plate armor was cut open, it failed to hurt the inside.

It is true that the furiously sweeping scythe cannot be withdrawn instantly, but she turned the scythe in a circle without panic, pointing the tail of the scythe towards the enemy.

The round handle pointed at Li Lin like the muzzle of a gun.

This is……
