Chapter 523: Chapter 58 Spring!
As summer came, a seasonal warm wind also blew into Arendelle.
In addition to the mountains covered with ice and snow all year round, Arendale was now full of vitality. Winter wheat had sprouted and grown; there was even a field of green in the Frost Kingdom. The spring here came later than other places. Because they could only plant once a year, the residents of the Frost Kingdom obviously attached great importance to farming. Besides winter wheat, they also planted some other cold-resistant crops.
This day, a group of outsiders arrived in Arendelle. They were in armor and shabby cloaks. Silvery white mottled armor reflected light in the sun. Occasionally, people who meet them would bow their heads.
They were a group of paladins from the outside.
Unlike the cities they had been to, in Arendelle people rarely asked them for help. What happened in the City of Riches was not repeated here, because Arendelle had its own law, which had been strictly enforced.
This was a prosperous Arendelle that was governed by a powerful princess!
This time, the paladins had come to ask for help. There were not many people who could repair the Holy Avenger, and one of them was the elder princess of Arendelle.
She was a Divine Sorcerer that had divine spellcasting abilities!
Around the port, a young paladin walked on the streets of the port. From some time onward, every city he pa.s.sed by he liked to check out the slums; in his opinion, they represented the civilization of a city and a country. He liked Arendelle because it was the most vibrant and dynamic city he had ever seen, second only to Mordor. If there was a chance in the future, he may check out Mordor for himself.
It had been some time after the battle in Abyss.
Even though he was close to becoming a legend and had a perfect soul, he still couldn’t breakthrough.
The reason was he had not found his own field; courage, faith, sacrifice, justice, order, goodness!…
He was somewhat unsure.
He did not lack courage, faith, or sacrifice, but he couldn’t find his core to breakthrough. In order to gain the core ability of the paladin, he needed to discover his true self!
The sealed power inside each soul!
The young paladin had made a vow early on. As a man chosen by the Divine Avengers, he would never marry, have children or have any wealth in his life. Except for weapons and equipment, he would use all his wealth to help the poor; refuse any comfort and pleasure, fight for order and justice in the world until his death!
He stood at the edge of becoming a legend.
He had a strong feeling that after he pa.s.sed through this barrier, he would truly gain the power to fight for his faith!
There were many people in the port.
A boy sitting on a log attracted his attention; the young paladin felt something, a pure soul.
He walked over.
The young paladin crouched in front of the little boy and saw a trace of envy from his eyes. The little boy looked in a certain direction with eager eyes; he was looking at a n.o.ble young man in wizard robe. Noticing the arrival of the paladin, he turned his head slightly but did not speak. He was wearing shabby clothes, which meant that he was born in poverty and might be the child of some dock worker. The little boy looked at him calmly, with a trace of curiosity and respect.
The young paladin smiled and said, “birth is destiny, but the future can be forged by yourself.”
“Do you believe injustice?”
The little boy hesitantly nodded.
The young paladin smiled, pressed his hand on the boy’s forehead, and a glow of sacred power was seen.
“Holy Baptism!”
“Blessing of the Pure!”
The palace of Arendelle.
The elder princess sat on the throne. She had an invitation in her hand; the invitation came from the south coast, from a place called Mordor city. She gently rubbed her forehead and looked out of the window. Princess Anna stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. Her face seemed to be gaunt. As the first successor of Arendelle, because of the early death of her parents, the eldest princess had always been a sister and a mother to Princess Anna.
However, she did not like that man. Even now, she still did not like him; as a divine sorcerer, she could feel an awful aura from him–b
Some dangerous power which he did not understand!
She did not want princess Anna to be involved.
There was a bodyguard reporting outside the door. A group of paladins seemed to want to see her. Even though the elder princess was not hostile toward the paladins, at this time, she had no intention to see them at all. Something big must have happened if the paladins came here; whether it was good or bad, she did not have the energy to care about it now.
She was now worried about Anna and the invitation from Mordor.
If she accepted the invitation, Arendelle would become aligned with Mordor; this was a stance that Arendelle would take.
At the balcony, princess Anna had a delicate cloth doll in her hand, which looked somewhat like Soran. Her expression at the moment was a little grumpy. The girl pinched the cloth doll hard while pinching it, she said in a tender voice with weeping, “B*stard!… Idiot!… Stupid pig! ”
“You have the guts to become a G.o.d! But have no guts to marry me!…”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!… Coward!…”
“I hate you!…”
Drops of tears fell down, and the grievance in her heart finally made Princess Anna cry. She squeezed the cloth doll that was like Soran as if it could make her better. She didn’t understand why, even though she had thrown away her pride as a princess for him, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn’t even dare to see her!
She felt extremely wronged.
The elder Princess stood in the hall and sighed. As the most powerful guardian of Arendelle, nothing could hide from her.
She slowly walked toward Princess Anna.
The young girl seemed to hear the footsteps, her expression was a little fl.u.s.tered, and she put away the cloth doll. Then she wiped her tears casually; when she turned around, she was already smiling. Princess Anna looked at the invitation letter, and said in a hopeful voice, “Sister! You will go! Right? ”
Even after the man had treated her this way, she still hoped that the elder Princess could stand on his side.
“Ai!…”
The elder Princess couldn’t help sighing. She embraced the haggard Princess Anna and said, “silly girl!”
