Chapter 1178
Returning here again, everything has changed.
The last time she came to this tower, she still held onto her ideals of world peace and vowed to protect her country as a knight.
Back then, she was confident and defeated many opponents in the public martial arts competition, becoming the number one knight in the continent. She firmly believed that she could protect her country, the king, and the princess.
Just like this eternal tall tower, her loyalty will never change.
"Can I take a walk here for a while?" Asking the Rift Space Dragon to stay outside the tower, the Kingdom's Shield appeared in front of Yun Xi in the form of a soul core, indicating that they had no ulterior motives.
"Sure, I'll accompany you."
"Ain, Adley, this is one of your ancestors." Yun Xi remembered that this former number one knight of the continent also had some royal bloodline.
According to the family tree, she seems to be one of the ancestors of the current founding Emperor of the Leviathan Empire.
In other words, the bloodline of the first knight of her continent had been passed down and eventually led to the creation of another first knight of the continent.
The Kingdom's Shield, who was not in a fighting state, lifted her helmet, revealing her long golden hair and gentle face.
The bloodline of the Virgo in the divine era was always full of charm, whether it was the Passed Princess, War Dancer, Kingdom's Shield of the divine era, or the current Ain and Adley.
Just by seeing the face of the Kingdom's Shield, Ain and Adley felt an involuntary sense of familiarity, just like when they met the Passed Princess and War Dancer.
However, compared to the innocent Passed Princess and the art-loving War Dancer, the Kingdom's Shield had a touch of valor and a strong sense of command peculiar to battlefield commanders.
If we were to describe it, it would feel like a beautiful lion.
Strolling through the ancient tower, looking at the familiar plants and scenery around her, the Kingdom's Shield showed a gentle expression.
Everything remained the same.
Only here, whether it was in the divine era or the present, there had been no changes whatsoever.
The rare fairy butterflies are still flying in the ancient tower today, and some of them even seem familiar to her, as they have left traces in her memory as children.
They are the truly unchanged, almost immortal beings, like mystical spirits.
As for her, she has long been someone different, and even now, she cannot prove if she is still "her" herself.
The concept of a soul core comes from advanced technology beyond Sia's world, and it is a mysterious power unique to The King of Undead in the Underground Cemetery.
The entire Underground Cemetery only has six soul cores, and two of them are in a dormant state due to the lack of matching halves.
Walking on these familiar stairs brings back more memories in her mind.
The Virgo bloodline of the divine era is the natural bloodline of divine era warlocks, who have extraordinary charm and spellcasting abilities, and it is the foundation on which the nation is built.
No one doubts that this is wrong. The descendants of the golden ancient people are naturally the leaders of the humans, and the bloodline of the virgin palace is the most suitable for leadership.
The extraordinary charm itself is a weapon, and it is recognized as the bloodline closest to the Creator God Sia among the twelve zodiac bloodlines.
However, sometimes there are exceptions born into this bloodline that don't belong to the warlock legacy. They have very little magical ability, but possess unparalleled talent on the knight's path.
She is one of those exceptions. She can't even perform the most basic light dance technique, but at the age of three, she could lift a heavy sword taller than herself. At eight, she could go out and hunt lions. By the age of ten, she had already defeated countless older hero-ranked knights in the palace.
When she was crowned "Kingdom's Shield" at the young age of sixteen, she was already one of the most talented knights in the land. She had defeated many knights who were much older and ranked higher than her.
With extraordinary strength, speed, and a high resistance to most magic, she not only stood out among the knights, but even the esteemed mages acknowledged her power.
This made her believe, for a while, that she could achieve anything and protect everything she desired.
Because of this, she never stopped working hard and training harder than anyone else.
It was through her inhuman level of training and the rare knight talent of the virgin palace that a sixteen-year-old became the number one knight on the continent.
Whenever she pushed herself to the limit in training, she would always come to rest in this divine era tower.
Only here could she slightly express her girlish emotions.
Although she became the first knight on the continent, she was also a sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth and couldn't resist the charm of this unique and mysterious garden.
Because of the unique environment of this tall tower, many precious plants and flowers that can only be seen in the most dangerous areas outside bloom under the care of fairy butterflies.
The entire tower was like a tiny world, making her feel that the world suddenly became quiet.
Only people of royal bloodline were allowed to enter the entire Divine Era Tower, and she was one of the few without a Warlock bloodline but still allowed to enter as a branch of the royal family.
"Do you know, everything here is prepared for you." Walking ahead of Yun Xi, the Kingdom's Shield exclaimed.
"For a long, long time, I have imagined what it would be like if there were dragon eggs hatching here."
That was the fantasy of a slightly naive and romantic girl who had already become the first knight on the continent.
It is said that this tower was built by the Golden Ancient People and the Dragon Clan together to hatch dragon eggs that had lost their mothers.
In her era, the war between humans and dragons had not yet fully erupted, and this ancient tower occasionally welcomed the presence of dragons.
At that time, she saw a huge dragon, and she was attracted to its tall and powerful figure. She couldn't help but imagine what the dragon's babies would look like.
People have always been curious about this question because the dragon clan protects their babies too much, so it is impossible to see dragon babies on the continent.
The dragons that appeared before humans were all adults, capable of destroying a city with a single breath of dragon fire.
If, just if, she had also imagined that there was a real baby dragon inside this tall tower, and she could be its close friend, sharing everything with it.
In the end, it was just a young girl's fantasy. If there really was a baby dragon, did she have a little hope of becoming a legendary dragon knight?
If she was the first knight of the kingdom, she should have the qualifications. All she lacked was a friendly dragon that she could ride on.
