Mortal Epic of Douluo

Atreus didn't know why the girl who called himself "Count" wanted to find him, an ordinary work-study student, to be a knight. Maybe it was just a fantasy of little girls of this age. They were born in noble families and hoped to have a loyal man. The knight just came to show off his charm.

After clearly refusing, Fraser did not continue to say anything, and Atreus paid no attention to her. He packed up his dishes and left, leaving the blond girl alone in the cafeteria in a daze.

............

"Mom, why are the knights in your story so brave and loyal? But when I hear people mention knights, they all think they are good or bad, and they all scold them."

"Because today's knights are not real knights anymore, my Cherian."

Mom gently combed Fraser's hair. Today, Mom told another story about a knight who rescued a princess. The knight in the story was so witty and brave. He went through all kinds of hardships to rescue the beautiful princess from the villain, and then Living happily together made Fraser yearn for it.

But there were no knights in her Frazia Manor. Although her mother was an earl, she did not recruit their own knights like other earls and viscounts in the kingdom.

Every time he listened to his mother's stories, Frasier hoped for a wise, brave knight who would be completely loyal to her.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the window sill, her knight will wake her up gently, first hand him a warm washcloth, and then serve her with a delicious breakfast.When getting on the horse, he would use his thick palms to hold her riding boots; when getting off the horse, he would hold her hand while gently supporting her waist to help him land smoothly.

Of course, these are just thoughts. Her mother will not allow her to recruit knights. Although her mother likes to tell stories about knights, she hates knights very much. Every time she visits the homes of other nobles, she does not hide her feelings. Dislike of knights.

Mother finished combing her hair, hugged Frazier tightly, and whispered softly in her ear:

"Shillian, my baby. You must remember that no matter how many knights you recruit with money, they are not as good as a knight who is exchanged for your sincerity. The real knights are not those who flatter you in your ears when you are shining brightly. Villain, when you are in trouble, he will protect you at all costs, even willing to die for you."

Fraser looked at his mother's hand holding him. There was a ring on the ring finger of her left hand. It was a very simple ring with not even a single gemstone inlaid on it. Except for the pattern of a sword on the ring's body, Nothing more.

My mother always wears a variety of jewelry when she goes out, but this ring is always on her hand.

"Okay, Xie Li'an, go to sleep, there will be a martial arts awakening tomorrow."

"Well, good night, mom~"

"Good night, my darling."

Yatoharun is a village located in the northernmost Beiyuan Province of the Tiandou Empire. At the same time, it is also located in the extreme north. It is the hometown of Shui Bing'er, which means "the junction of the north wind and the ice ocean." .

It is more of a collective term for settlements than villages. The Far North is extremely vast, and due to the harsh living conditions, there are very few human settlements.But there are still several communities living here, and they make a living by fishing and hunting. Both men and women are good at hunting and ice fishing.

The Far North is one of the three major soul beast gathering areas on the Douluo Continent. Although the density of soul beasts is much lower than that of the Star Dou Forest, its area is the largest among the three major gathering areas.

September [-]st was originally the day when school started, but Shui Bing'er left the academy at this time because she had broken through to level [-] a week ago and only needed to absorb one soul ring to be promoted to a great soul master.

Looking at Shui Bing'er who was jumping like a snow elf after getting off the carriage, Yang Miao's eyes were filled with relief. Compared to her sister Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er's talent was simply a gift from God to Tianshui Academy.

Although the eighth level of innate soul power is not the ultimate, Shui Bing'er's cultivation speed is by no means slow. You must know that her ninth birthday has not passed, and she has already reached the twentieth level. This cultivation speed is only The first generation principal of Tianshui College is comparable.

What's more, her martial spirit is still the absolute top martial spirit - Ice Phoenix.

If there are any shortcomings, Yang Miao thinks the only pity is her awkward age. It would have been perfect if she had been born four or five years earlier.

This year is 19. Shui Bing'er will not be [-] years old when she is old and high enough to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, which is [-].According to Yang Miao's estimation, Shui Bing'er will only be a soul sect by then, and is still far away from the soul king.

The elite competition is held every five years, and the current age limit is under 25 years old. However, last year's All-Continental Senior Academy Representative Conference discussed the need to lower the upper age limit for participation to 22 years old.

If the previous rules were followed, Shui Bing'er would be able to participate in a conference at the age of 23. Five years would be enough for her to reach the Soul King cultivation level, and she would be fully capable of competing with the geniuses of Wuhun Palace.

If Shui Bing'er could have been born a few years earlier, it would have been a surefire success, but it's a pity that it couldn't have happened sooner.

"Principal, please walk faster. In order to advance to the Great Soul Master as soon as possible, I have been spending all my time in school during the summer vacation. I almost miss my parents."

"Hey, don't be in a hurry, walk slowly and be careful not to knock yourself."

When Shui Bing'er came to Yatoharun, the first thing she did was not go home to see her parents immediately, but went to the square in the settlement, where there was a sculpture.

This is an ice sculpture, an ice sculpture that does not melt in the summer.

The appearance of the ice sculpture is that of a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hair hanging from the back of her head to her heels. Although it is not painted, you can still feel the emptiness and transparency in her eyes, as if she can see through everything in the world. .

Her figure is slender and exquisite. Although there is no decoration on her long skirt, she looks so noble and stunning.

Shui Bing'er clenched her fists and prayed devoutly under this sculpture. This is a symbol of Yato Harun. Every citizen of Yato Harun must pray under the sculpture when leaving or returning, and it will not change for thousands of years.

________________________________

Atoharun is the northernmost human settlement on the continent, so far north that it is actually within the limits of the Far North.

Every year in late October, the cold wind from the far north will rage southward. The villages and towns in the back of the Tiandou Empire will experience a test of wind and snow every year, but Yato Harun in the far north rarely encounters snowstorms. .

The biggest difference between Yato Harun and other regions is that the people there believe in an ice sculpture that will never melt. However, neither the Spirit Hall nor the Tiandou Empire has recorded the origin of this ice sculpture appearing in Yato Harun.

According to the legend of the Atoharen people, this ice sculpture was built by the snow elves in their own image, and it was the snow elves who protected them from the wind and snow.
