Chapter 131: Sleeping Beauty!

"Do fairies have this ability?"

Rhodes muttered in a strange voice.

I've never heard that fairies can parasitize in the body.

However, these three goblins are creatures born from the Tree of Life, and he is now equivalent to a condensed version of the Tree of Life.

It doesn't seem to be unacceptable that three fairies can parasitize in his body.

Rhodes shook his head and didn't think much about it.

After all, this is a good thing. With the blessing of the demon spirit's power, his magic power and spiritual power have increased by at least 30%.

The magic power, which was already abundant, has now reached a terrifying level.

He is probably no different from a human-shaped disaster right now.

Rhodes looked at Aurora beside him, his eyes flickering slightly.

The invitation was sent directly.

"Come with me!"

This girl has been living in the forest with three fairies.

Now, the three fairies chose to leave with him, leaving Aurora alone.

Leaving her here alone seemed a little too cruel.

"I, I want to find my dad first."

Ai Luo looked at Rhodes who was reaching out his hand to her, hesitated for a moment, and said in a conflicted tone.

She didn't even know she had a father.

It was not until a few days ago that the three fairies told her her true identity.

Therefore, what she wanted to do most now was to meet her father.

As for the future, she is not opposed to being with this angel gentleman.

"Can!"

Rhodes nodded.

The three fairies had just told him about Aurora.

Aurora is the king's daughter. When she was just born, her father was cursed because he offended a terrible witch.

When she was twenty years old, she died in an accident.

These three fairies were friends of Aurora's mother, so in order to protect Aurora, they brought her here to live.

He plans to use the power of three fairies to break the curse.

When she is twenty years old and the curse is broken, she will be brought back to the palace.

However, now that the Monster Forest is about to disappear, the three fairies can no longer survive here, and Aurora naturally cannot stay here any longer.

So, the three fairies just now asked him to send Aurora back to the kingdom.

It can be considered that the Queen's commission has been completed.

"This story sounds a bit familiar."

Rhodes muttered softly and picked up Arlo's plump body with one hand.

I have to say, although it looks small, it is actually quite heavy.

I don't know how she hides her figure.

Think of the scene you just saw.

This woman is not a cow, but at least she is a giant.

But from the outside, she doesn't look plump at all.

Instead, he looked a little thinner.

Perhaps, this is what is called skinny beauty.

It just looks skinny, but it's actually full of surprises.

A hot breath came over him, and Ai Luo seemed to think of what had just happened and that strange feeling.

Suddenly, his face turned red.

She didn't know what shyness was, but she instinctively felt that it was very ungraceful to expose her appearance in front of outsiders.

Swish!

Rhodes flapped his wings and flew high into the sky. With a gentle flap of his wings, his figure instantly appeared hundreds of meters away.

"Huh!"

Rhodes couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, this speed seemed a bit fast.

His previous flying speed was at most a hundred meters per second, but now it has reached at least two to three hundred meters per second.

Almost approaching the speed of sound.

He could clearly feel a powerful thrust behind him when he flapped his wings.

Moreover, the resistance ahead was also greatly weakened.

The combination of the two made his speed leap forward.

"Is this the effect of the Wind's Favor?"

Rhodes looked slightly surprised and muttered softly.

The effect of this blessing is even more powerful than I imagined.

It is worthy of being the blessing of a pure-blooded fairy. It is completely not on the same level as the blessing of those three half-blooded dwarves.

If the dwarves gave him the same blessing, the effect would be half or even one-third of what it is now.

There is a world of difference.

However, this made him look forward to the blessings from Mrs. Temani and her three daughters even more.

After all, those were three blessings whose effects were no less than those of pure-blooded fairies.

If it could be superimposed on him, it would definitely make his strength skyrocket.

While thinking about this, Rhodes' movements were not slow.

While using magic power to form a barrier to block the violent gale, he flew quickly in the direction told by the three fairies.

After just over ten minutes, a huge castle appeared before their eyes.

Swish!

Rhodes stopped suddenly, hovering above the castle, looking at the castle below.

Judging from the scale, this castle is obviously larger than the Kingdom of Austin.

It is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​1.5 Austin kingdoms combined.

It is larger than an ordinary kingdom, but has not yet reached the level of a marquisate.

It was a powerful county between the two.

The king of this kingdom is Aurora's father.

Rhodes slowly descended holding Arlo.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Looking at the somewhat nervous Aurora beside him, Rhodes patted her shoulder and whispered to comfort her.

"Um!"

Aurora's nervous mood relaxed slightly, and she followed Rhodes into the castle.

Cross the drawbridge over the moat and enter the Kingdom Castle.

A bustling street comes into view.

Although they are both kingdoms, in terms of prosperity, the Kingdom of Austin is obviously not as good as the kingdom in front of it.

However, at this moment, there was a depressing atmosphere inside the castle.

Every pedestrian who came and went hurriedly had a solemn expression on his face, as if war was coming.

"What happened to them?"

Ai Luo looked at the passers-by who were hurrying by, his expression full of confusion.

"Just ask and you'll find out."

Rhodes grabbed a passerby and looked into his eyes, which flashed with a weird luster.

The passerby, who was originally full of anger, suddenly became dazed.

"What's going on here?"

"The neighboring marquisate wants to wage war against us and plunder our land. The king is calling on all civilians…"

The words of the passerby made Rhodes frown.

According to this guy, a powerful marquis next door had his eyes on the land of this kingdom and launched a war without any reason or excuse.

That's a bit weird.

Nobles rarely go to war with each other. After all, once a war breaks out, the outcome will be a lose-lose situation regardless of whether they win or lose.

This will give other surrounding countries an opportunity to take advantage.

We are all aristocrats, enjoying a good life and keeping to ourselves.

Starting a war for no reason and causing life and death is just a waste of time.

Therefore, wars rarely broke out between nobles, especially upper-class nobles above the rank of earl.

Even if there are disputes over interests or words, the winner is usually decided by duel.

Wars between kingdoms would not occur for more than ten years.

Even if a national war is launched, it will basically be stopped at the right time.

But now, a marquis has launched not only a war against an earl, but also a war to the death to destroy the country.

According to the consensus in the upper aristocratic circle.

Unless you are mentally ill, you probably wouldn't do such a thing.

Rhodes glanced around and suddenly saw a piece of yellowed parchment stuck on the wall.

The parchment must have existed for some time, so the words on it appear a little blurry after being exposed to wind and rain.

"What does it say?"

Rhodes asked casually.

"The king's princess was cursed by an evil witch. When she turned twenty, she would prick her finger with a spindle and fall into an endless sleep. So His Majesty ordered all the spindles in the country to be destroyed. Anyone who kept them would be guilty of a serious crime."

The passerby said with a dull look in his eyes.

curse?

spindle?

There was a hint of surprise in Rhodes' eyes, and he looked at Aurora beside him.

He only knew that the woman was cursed by a witch, but he didn't know the specific content of the curse.

He pricked his finger on a spindle and fell into a deep sleep.

Isn't this the story of Sleeping Beauty?

So, this Aurora is the Sleeping Beauty herself?

"Three fairies, a beautiful woman, a princess of the kingdom, who can only go home at the age of twenty…"

Should have thought of it earlier.

Rhodes shook his head.

He was not worried about the witch's curse on Aurora, because he knew how to remove the curse.

After an in-depth discussion, the curse was mostly purified.

As for the remaining remnants of the curse, it should be almost completely cleansed after a month of continuous purification.

"Go to the palace first and meet your father."

Rhodes brought Aurora directly to the gate of the palace.

The guard at the door stopped Rhodes and asked about his identity.

"This is your king's princess, Aurora. I was asked to bring her to the palace."

Rhodes said calmly.

The powerful and trembling aura that was inadvertently emitted made the guards guarding the palace dare not be negligent.

He immediately sent someone to inform the king.

Rhodes and Aurora were also respectfully invited to the palace hall.

As soon as he arrived at the palace hall, Rhodes saw a middle-aged man in aristocratic formal attire, with a dignified look between his brows, waiting nervously in the hall.

"Aurora! My child!"

Seeing Ai Luo coming in, the man showed an excited expression on his face and walked over quickly.

"You look just like your mother."

Count Alman expressed his deepest emotion, but his affectionate tone made Aurora somewhat uncomfortable.

He looked to Rhodes beside him for help.

"Who are you?"

All eyes were on Count Almand, whose face seemed to have just been spotted by his daughter.

He looked at Rhodes with scrutiny and doubt.

"Margaret's friends asked me to send the princess back to the kingdom."

Rhodes's neither light nor cold tone made Earl Alman frown slightly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Although it was this guy who brought his daughter back safely, as a knight without noble status, he was so rude to the earl.

It's really too rude.

If it weren't for the fact that he sent Aurora back, he would have been severely punished for the crime of contempt of the king.

"It turns out to be Margaret's friend."

Count Alman's tone gradually turned colder, and there was a condescending arrogance in his voice of rebuke.

"The queen asked them to take care of Aurora until she was twenty years old. Why did they send Aurora back early?"

"You'll have to ask them about that. I'm only responsible for sending Aurora back."

Rod spoke calmly, not bothering to say anything more to this arrogant idiot.

If it wasn't for Aurora's sake, would a mere earl dare to bark in front of him?

The louder he spoke, the more humble he could make this guy kneel down.

Now, it is troublesome for him to destroy a kingdom.

But it's just a little troublesome.

"Knight, what is your name? Which lord do you serve?"

Seeing Rhodes calling his daughter by her name, Count Alman's brows knitted together.

Even if he sent the princess back, it was a big taboo for a knight to have no respect for elders.

After all, a knight's duty is to be loyal to the nobility, and the first thing to do is loyalty and humility.

The image of Rhodes instantly reached its lowest point in Count Alman's heart.

Therefore, when he spoke, he couldn't help but use a commanding and reprimanding tone.

"Rod! Honorary Grand Knight of Austin Kingdom!"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Count Alman, who seemed to be scolding his subject.

I'm giving you some face, but you're really going to take advantage of me?

Not to mention that he is now an honorary knight of the Austin Kingdom, representing the entire Austin Kingdom, and his status is second only to the king.

Even the future king of Austin Kingdom dared not put on airs in front of him.

Even if he is just an ordinary knight, he only needs to serve his lord.

Why is a king who has nothing to do with you pretending to be so important?

I really give you face.

"Count Alman, it seems that he has a lot of complaints about me?"

The corners of Rhodes' mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile on his face.

In an instant, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire kingdom hall.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, the surrounding palace guards, as soon as they sensed something unusual, drew their weapons and moved closer to Count Alman.

Some of them even surrounded Rhodes.

"police.."

"It's noisy."

Rhodes glanced over, and the captain of the palace guards, before he could finish his words, stopped talking abruptly, like a duck with its neck strangled.

He glanced at the palace guards around him who were pointing swords at him.

Rhodes' smile became even brighter.

"Pointing a sword at me, you should know what this means, right?"

boom!

The words fell.

The powerful aura was overwhelming, and the space in the entire kingdom hall was almost frozen.

Aura of fear!

From Count Alman to the palace guards, fear was revealed in everyone's eyes.

Under this powerful aura, even breathing becomes a luxury.

die!

It seemed like it would come in the next second.

A group of palace guards trembled all over, feeling a chill rushing straight to their brains and all the pores on their bodies exploded.

Under such intense fear, their instinct for survival made them make the best choice.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The knights' swords fell to the ground, and all the palace guards half-knelt on the ground, paying the most humble respect.

They can die for the lord they are loyal to, but that doesn't mean they have the courage to fight the man in front of them who is as powerful as a god.

Sometimes, there are things that are more difficult to face than death.

Gulp!

Looking at the palace guards half-kneeling on the ground around him, Count Alman couldn't help swallowing.

He didn't blame the guards for being so cowardly, because even he now had the urge to kneel down.

However, his dignity as a king forced him to control his trembling body.

"Great Knight Rhodes…"

I recalled this somewhat familiar name in my mind, as if I had heard it somewhere.

Suddenly, Count Alman's eyes widened.

Isn't this the name of the knight who killed the giant that has gradually spread throughout the southern continent in recent times?

A man who was honored as the Great Knight by bards and all knights because of his deeds of slaying giants.

This reputation is known to everyone throughout the southern continent.

There are countless elite knights in the entire southern continent, but few can accomplish such a legendary feat.

It is estimated that only the legendary dragon slayer can be more famous than him.

Putting aside the reputation, his status as an honorary knight of the Austin Kingdom alone was enough to warrant a reception with the highest standards of etiquette.

After all, having the status of an honorary knight means that the honor of the entire Austin Kingdom is on your shoulders.

Failure to follow the proper etiquette for receiving the king would be considered a disrespect for the entire Austin Kingdom.

Even if the Alman Kingdom is stronger than the Austin Kingdom, no fool would offend a kingdom for no reason.

Even a marquis would not do such a brainless thing.

"Great Knight Rhodes, please calm down and forgive my previous recklessness and rudeness!"

Count Alman lowered his head slightly, his tone sincere and earnest.
