Chapter 20 The Legend of the Knight
Ma Xiaochao didn't want to wait like this. He immediately took Zhang Xiaofei and others to the east of the city, found the city owner's mansion and walked in.
Although the population of Yinyang City is small, everyone is very enthusiastic. Soon he took Ma Xiaochao and others to the city lord's mansion. Of course, the city owner is not in the house, and they are received by the city owner's wife.
The city owner's wife is about 30 years old, but she has silver hair and no wrinkles. Her silver gown and silver hairpin on her head emit a luxurious light.
Of course, Ma Xiaochao knows that the person in front of him is definitely not a human, but a dragon clan. Therefore, Ma Xiaochao maintained basic etiquette and said hello. Although he doesn't know how strong the dragon clan is in this world, Ma Xiaochao is sure that there will be no good end if he offends the dragon clan.
"Are you saying that the two transmission arrays in Yinyang City attracted each other and reached together?" The people of the city lord's mansion frowned, "This happened just a few days ago. My husband made this worst in order to keep the people at both ends of the city from being too impatient. If you are in a hurry to go to Black Dragon City, I can tell you a secret channel. However, this channel is very dangerous, and it depends on whether you are willing to go or not.
"Where does this channel lead to? What's the danger?" An Caiwei quickly asked about the specific situation. If the risk factor of this road is too large. Then she would rather go first class.
"It leads to the Storm City not far to the north. On the central square of Storm City, there is a transmission array that can teleport you to Black Dragon City. To say this danger, it is only more dangerous for you human beings. If I can't get away, I wouldn't mind escorting you all the way. The city lord's house was slightly apologetic, "Well, I'll tell you the trick of the three guys in this passage. As long as you defeat them, you can pass. However, don't kill them."
"Are there any monsters in this channel?" Ma Xiaochao hesitated and didn't know whether to take this road or not.
"They are not monsters! Like you, they are human beings. However, they are human beings who have not been selected as dragon knights. Therefore, he is determined to practice underground in Yin and Yang City, and also to protect Yin and Yang City at the time of war.
"In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of. They are human beings like us and should be affectionate. Ma Xiaochao clenched his fist and said, "We have to break through the passage you said, or it will be too late."
"Indeed, we lost a lot of time on the way." Bu Qianxue also agreed, "If you don't hurry up, the door of the Royal College will be closed."
The city owner took a look at Bu Qianxue and told Ma Xiaochao and others all the unique moves of the three quasi-dragon knights in the underground passage. Although Ma Xiaochao and others did not make a detailed battle plan, they also knew themselves and their enemy, so they bravely stepped into this underground passage.
The entrance of the underground passage is on a wall on the side of the city owner's mansion. When Ma Xiaochao and others walked in, the mural on the wall covered the entrance again.
"The three people are quasi-dragon knights!" Zhang Xiaofei was a little worried that his axe could not work. After all, in her impression, the Dragon Knight was already invincible. In this world, only a few human beings recognized by the dragon can become dragon knights.
"It doesn't matter, the dragon knights are powerful because they have dragons. But these three people have not yet become dragon knights, so their strength is definitely not as good as the real dragon knights. Although Ma Xiaochao was not sure, he still played the role to comfort Zhang Xiaofei.
"Hmm. Let's go quickly." An Caiwei walked at the front of the team this time. She knew that her combat effectiveness was the weakest among the five people. So it doesn't matter if you sacrifice it, but you must create a chance to win for others.
This underground passage is deep and dark, rugged and winding, dripping down from time to time. Ma Xiaochao doesn't know where these water droplets came from, but he knows that there will not be only three quasi-dragon knights in this channel.
When a lizard crawled in front of everyone, there were three screams behind Ma Xiaochao. Even Zhang Xiaofei, who has always been bold, was scared to death. Ma Xiaochao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but was shocked again. The lizard that just appeared was swallowed up by something in an instant.
It is a big snake, and the dark scales make it form a natural protective color in this deep passage. But before the snake could enjoy food, it was swept away by a red tongue and became the meat in the mouth of another creature.
After eating the snake creature, he just turned his head and looked at Ma Xiaochao and jumped away. It seems that he is full and let Ma Xiaochao and others go.
Ma Xiaochao wiped off the sweat on his forehead again, took a few deep breaths, and told everyone to be careful of their feet. Don't step on anything you shouldn't step on.
Suddenly, the environment around Ma Xiaochao and others began to change significantly. The originally dark and deep passage is now illuminated very brightly. Countless magma and flames surrounded Ma Xiaochao and others.
And the hot temperature also turned the original cold sweat on Ma Xiaochao's head into hot sweat. An Caiwei's body is weaker than others, and she keeps using purification techniques for herself. Bu Qianxue is much better. After all, she cultivates water magic. As long as she gathers some water elements, she can maintain her body temperature.
In the middle of this magma and flame, a road was paved like a roll of toilet paper. Ma Xiaochao and others dare not go up. After all, it is the abyss of flames.
A figure gradually became clear from the blur in the scorching temperature. It was a blonde young man with a partial hairstyle, a purple mage robe, wrapped in a straight body, and golden boots stepped on the magma and were still intact.
"Do you want to pass through this channel?" The blonde young man put his right hand on his left chest, made a simple magician's salute and bowed to the crowd.
"Are you the Dragon Knight?" Zhang Xiaofei looked at the guy who was clearly a mage in front of her and couldn't connect him with the tall and powerful dragon knight.
"No. I'm just a person who hasn't passed the test of the Dragon God and needs to continue to practice. Dragon Knight is still a distant dream for me. The eyes of the blonde youth are full of yearning.
"But aren't all dragon knights?" Zhang Xiaofei is still very curious.
"Dragon knights are not all warriors. As long as you always abide by the eight principles of the knight, you can get the recognition of the dragon god and find your trustworthy dragon partner. You can become a dragon knight." Although the blonde young man has been tested by the Dragon God, he is not proud at all.
"Eight Principles?" Ma Xiaochao couldn't help but be curious, "I know the eight principles. But what does the approval of the Dragon God mean?
"The knight recognized by the Dragon God is a spirit that ordinary knights do not have. That kind of spirit is called selflessness. The blonde youth patiently explained, "As the most powerful dragon knights in history, they must become shields of justice to protect those who need protection."
"The Dragon Knight looks quite great!" Zhang Xiaofei raised her head and was a little fascinated.
"However, not everyone can get the title of knight. If he does not have the virtues of humility and mercy, honesty and justice, heroic sacrifice, and an indomitable heart, he would not have won the title of knight. Because this title is a symbol of honor!" The blonde young man looked at Zhang Xiaofei thoughtfully.
Ma Xiaochao shook his head, and it seemed that he should not be able to be a knight in his life. Virtue can't be beaten by him! It turns out that the knight is not a soldier on a mount!
Zhang Xiaofei muttered and suddenly remembered that they did not seem to come to listen to the legend of the Dragon Knight, but wanted to break through here and go to the Black Dragon City as soon as possible.
"So, can we go there now?" Zhang Xiaofei blinked her eyes and said, "I just chatted with you and forgot to do something serious."
"Since you have left here, you must have been tested by the Lord of Yin and Yang, right?" The blonde young man smiled and said, "Since the city lord tested you, you must have gone to the Royal College to study, right?"
"What?" Ma Xiaochao suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, "Do you mean that the city owner deliberately tricked us here? So the scenes we saw in Yinyang City are all fake?
"Yes. Every human who goes to the Royal College of the Dragon Empire must pass the test of the city lords. And the middle-aged man you asked is the owner of Yinyang City. The blonde young man nodded, "In the spirit of the knight, I must tell you the truth. The city lord and his wife want you to accept my test.
"Cut noodles! Unexpectedly, I was cheated so miserably. However, it seems that we didn't suffer anything. Ma Xiaochao saw that the thunder did not seem to intend to take action, and his unhappiness suddenly disappeared a lot.
"So, what's your test?" An Caiwei took a step forward and stood side by side with Ma Xiaochao.
"My test is very simple, just let you make a choice." Lei Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, and a stream of air quickly converged, gradually flashing a dazzling purple light, which was clearly a flash of lightning.
"A choice?" Ma Xiaochao stared at the purple electric light in Lei Dong's hand and quietly put his right hand on his left hand. As long as Lei Dong took the lead in launching the attack, Ma Xiaochao would definitely use Medusa's Shield.
"Yes. As we all know, a real knight has been trained hard since the age of 14. By the age of 21, he was canonized as a knight. Lei Dong stared at Zhang Xiaofei, "And the little girl among you is just 14 years old."
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaochao did not relax and hold the right hand of the cuff. "Are you going to make Xiaofei a knight?"
"The name of a knight is a symbol of dignity and honor. When she is 21 years old, if she can pass those difficult tests and become a real knight, she will have the opportunity to attack the dragon knight." The thunder also did not take back the purple electric light in your hand. "If you choose to let her go with me, I will let you go. Of course, you have another choice. It was sent back to the Zhongyu Empire by me.
Ma Xiaochao and An Caiwei looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Bu Qianxue looked at Zhang Xiaofei and found that Zhang Xiaofei was dragging her chin and thinking. Liu Tiantian still has an expression that is nothing to do with herself.
Zhang Xiaofei suddenly frowned, looked at everyone, and then looked at the thunder. Lei Dong nodded to Zhang Xiaofei to show encouragement. Ma Xiaochao pressed his forehead and squatted aside.
This is really a difficult choice. If Zhang Xiaofei is allowed to follow the thunder in front of him, Ma Xiaochao is worried. After all, the thunder suddenly appeared. No matter how strong he is, how much he abides by the knight's etiquette. But Ma Xiaochao still can't trust a stranger.
But if Zhang Xiaofei is not allowed to follow the thunder, it may destroy Zhang Xiaofei's life. Ma Xiaochao is not willing to let Zhang Xiaofei give up such a good opportunity, nor does he believe in the pie falling from the sky. For a while, everyone was in a dilemma.
"Can we trust you?" Bu Qianxue looked at Zhang Xiaofei, then looked at the thunder, and suddenly asked.
"I swear as the head of the Third Knights of the Dragon Empire. If I violate the honesty in any knight's code, I will fall into an eternal place, join the dead, and never be born. The thunderous oath was very calm, as if he didn't believe that he would lie at all.
Zhang Xiaofei became anxious and swirling on the ground. When she was 21 years old, if she became a real knight, she might be able to defeat her mother and get real freedom. However, if we are separated from Ma Xiaochao, we don't know when we will meet again. Moreover, seven years later, I don't know if they can still remember themselves.
"I don't agree with you taking her away!" Bu Qianxue suddenly shook the staff, "She is my sister, if she follows you. So how can I explain it to her mother?
"I've decided! I want to learn the skills of knights from you!" Zhang Xiaofei seemed to hear the very ** words and stared at Bu Qianxue, "Cousin, I don't want to live under her wings forever. Therefore, I want to become a real knight, a hero who gets honor and achievements on his own!"
Ma Xiaochao suddenly smiled. This stupid girl actually said that she wanted to become a brave man! But it's okay. Since it is the way she chooses, it's up to her to go. I just hope that at the moment of reunion seven years later, we will not forget each other.
"Feifei, take care of yourself!" An Caiwei hugged Zhang Xiaofei, "This jade pendant of mine is for you as a souvenir. Seven years later, don't forget me!"
"Bear care." Liu Tiantian was relatively straightforward and didn't give Zhang Xiaofei anything. She just looked at her firmly and gave Zhang Xiaofei endless encouragement.
"Xiaofei, have you really thought about it?" Bu Qianxue is still a little worried, "The commander has just said that the training is very difficult. Can you hold on to this little body?"
"Cousin, don't worry. I will definitely stick to it. I won't let everyone down." Zhang Xiaofei looked at Ma Xiaochao, who was still squatting on the ground with his head pressed on his head, "In seven years, I will definitely come back to you."
As for the reason why Ma Xiaochao covered his head again: knife-cut noodles! You aunts make it like a separation from life and death. I can't see women crying the most. Don't cry when you guys go! And my Princess Vivi, what gift do you have when you have nothing to do? I don't know what to send. I didn't know that I was sending love tokens.
"Hey, Brother Chao!" Zhang Xiaofei saw that Ma Xiaochao was dejected, and suddenly felt a little guilty, because she felt that it was wrong to make a decision without permission without listening to Ma Xiaochao's opinion.
"Ah--" Ma Xiaochao was shocked, fell to the ground, and gritted his teeth in pain. "My little aunt, are you going to scare me to death? Well, you can practice with this dragon knight. But remember to miss me! I'll give you this shield."
Ma Xiaochao was about to lift his sleeve when he suddenly pulled it back. I patted my head hard. What's wrong with sending? You have to send this dangerous and deadly thing.
"Brother Chao, what kind of shield shooting?" Zhang Xiaofei is looking forward to it. After all, Ma Xiaochao hasn't sent her anything yet.
Cut noodles! What can I do now? Speaking out is like a married daughter-in-law. If you want to take it back, you can only come hard... But this shield really can't be given! Ma Xiaochao suddenly rubbed his hand and was despised by thunder.
Bu Qianxue also gave Zhang Xiaofei a shiny hair card, which was originally intended to be given to Zhang Xiaofei on her fifteenth birthday, but now it is just sent out in advance.
Ma Xiaochao saw this, and the sweat on his forehead was straight up. After all, the Medusa Shield is an ominous thing. Even he himself did not know how to remove the petrochemical effect of this shield. Therefore, Ma Xiaochao did not want to send it, but did not dare to send it.
"This warrior, please keep your promise." Lei Dong couldn't stand Ma Xiaochao's behavior and made accusations.
"Don't worry, there are too many things. I forgot where I put it." Ma Xiaochao knew that there were several good shields in his dragon saddle. Although it could not be compared with the shield of Medusa, it would not be ordinary.
Shittering - Ma Xiaochao really didn't know how to find those messy shields, so he poured out everything in the dragon saddle. The thunder in front of him and several girls were stunned.
These things, which are arbitrarily auctioned, are all worth tens of thousands of gold coins! How many more surprises does Ma Xiaochao bring to everyone?
"Wow - I finally found it." Ma Xiaochao looked at the purple shield with rose patterns on the ground and thought it was it!
"Is this?" The thunder suddenly became a little excited, but it randomly regained calm.
"Wow! Brother Chao, I love you so much!" Zhang Xiaofei suddenly rushed over, hung around Ma Xiaochao's neck, and kissed him fiercely on the forehead.
