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 wanted to have a loyal man.

The knight just came to show off his charm.

After the clear refusal, 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 and rescued the beautiful princess from the villain, and then

Living happily together made Fraser yearn for it.

But there were no knights in her Frazier 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, Frazier hoped that there would be a clever, brave knight who would be completely loyal to her.

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the window sill in the morning, her knight will wake her up gently, first hand her a warm washcloth, and then serve her with a delicious breakfast. When he mounts his horse, he will

Use his thick palms to hold her riding boots; when dismounting, he would hold her hands 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 other nobles’ homes, she does not hide her feelings.

Dislike of knights.

After her mother combed her hair, she hugged Fraser 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 no gems inlaid on it. There was only a sword on the body of the ring.

, and nothing else.

My mother always wears various kinds 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 baby."

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 a settlement than a village. The Far North is extremely vast. Due to the harsh living conditions, there are very few human settlements. However, there are still several settlements living here. They make a living by fishing and hunting, whether they are men or women.

, are all 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 1st was originally the day when school started, but Shui Bing'er left the academy at this time because she had broken through to level 20 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 joy. Compared to her younger 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 2636. When Shui Bing'er is old enough to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, she will not yet be nineteen years old, which is 2646. According to Yang Miao's estimation, Shui Bing'er will be under 19 by then.

Bing'er is only a soul sect at best, and is still far away from the soul king.

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

If the previous rules were followed, Shui Bing'er would be able to participate in a conference at the age of twenty-three. Five years would be enough for her to reach the level of Soul King, 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."

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

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

Bingduo's appearance 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 she is not painted, you can still feel the emptiness and transparency in her eyes, as if she can see through the world.

everything.

Her figure is slender and exquisite. Although the long skirt has no decoration at all, it makes her look so noble and stunning.

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

Atoharun is the northernmost human settlement area on the continent, so far north that it is actually located in 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 snowstorm 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 wither that will never melt. However, neither the Spirit Hall nor the Tiandou Empire has recorded the appearance of this ice wither in Yato Harun.

origin.

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