With the completion of a series of follow-up events, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess's coming-of-age ceremony was officially declared over, but the next step was tonight's banquet.
Too many things happened at the coming-of-age ceremony, such as the Fairy Mother's gift and the Emperor's gift of the Staff of Atanos. These situations were too shocking, and many nobles still needed time to digest this information.
As for Natalie being chosen as a guard knight as an exception, not many people cared about it.
By the afternoon, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess had refused the audiences of some great nobles on the grounds that she had important matters to attend to. She also asked to leave the court wizard who was guarding her and was touring the armory of the Knights' Court with a red-haired fairy.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Princess, these are the swords prepared for the Guard Knights." An elderly, middle-aged male goblin, dressed in a loose white robe, introduced them in a somewhat flattering manner: "They all have a powerful amplification effect, allowing a seventh-ring goblin knight to perform at a level close to the ninth ring."
Having said this, he turned to look at Xu Xianxian, who had returned to her humanoid form. "But Miss Natalie, do you have any specific requirements for swords?"
He took a few glances at Xu Xianxian's small body, which was less than half his height. Even if equipped with these magical swords, she would not be able to perform at her best.
Fairies generally use magic as their means of attack, and even Fairy Knights are no exception. The only difference is that Fairy Knights use magic power to drive their melee swordsmanship, but the power is not generated by a staff, but by a specially crafted magical sword.
This is different from what many non-fairy creatures think.
"No." Xu Xianxian blinked her scarlet eyes and shook her head slightly. Then she glanced at the various magical swords placed in the crystal cabinet and pointed at the most powerful one among them: "I'll choose this one."
Are you just ordering randomly?
The white-robed goblin was stunned, a look of silence flashing across his eyes. However, with Her Royal Highness the Princess beside him, he could only laugh and instructed his subordinates, "Since Miss Natalie likes this, go and get it."
The three subordinates in white robes nodded and walked to the crystal cabinet in the middle. Seven magic halos lit up under their feet. They grabbed the back of the sword and lifted it out with all their strength.
call...
After only carrying the load for a dozen meters, the three subordinates in white robes began to pant, and their magic halos flashed with bright light, which showed that their magic power had been pushed to the extreme.
"Some fairies have been living in comfort for too long. Besides their original form, they can't hide their auras in their humanoid form. But they reveal it simply out of habit, showing off their egos."
Xu Xianxian looked at these people, but was thinking about other things.
At any time, concealing one's strength is always a protective measure. Exposing one's specific level immediately is simply providing the enemy with data for analysis.
The three white-robed subordinates lifted the blood-red giant sword directly in front of Xu Xianxian, and then placed it on the metal ground, making a dull collision sound.
This blood-red giant sword is a little taller than Xu Xianxian, and its width is equivalent to that of a person's embrace. The blade is not sharp, but is carved with dense red patterns. The giant sword stands on the ground, exuding an inexplicable aura of horror.
Then the middle-aged goblin in the white robe spoke up, introducing, "Your Highness the Seventh Princess, Miss Natalie, this is the Second Knight of the Knights' Court, Lord Roster. It was captured from the Troll Empire three hundred years ago and later transformed into a magical sword by the Master Craftsmen."
"However, the size of this sword is still not suitable for us fairies to use. So even though it is extremely powerful, it has been lying here for hundreds of years."
Trolls are also extraordinary species, but they are huge in size, all over three meters, so holding such a giant sword is nothing.
He didn't want to see Xu Xianxian make a fool of herself. After all, the other party was still the knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess. If he offended him, he would be offending the Princess.
So when the giant sword was brought over, he still introduced it in great detail, trying to make the other party give up.
"Well, it's indeed a bit big." The Seventh Princess nodded. She was wearing a very thin dress at the moment, her fair skin faintly visible, looking very beautiful. She glanced at the giant sword, then at Xu Xianxian's figure: "Natalie, this sword is taller than you, do you want... uh..."
Not to mention the noble Seventh Princess, even the white-robed fairies beside her couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open.
The blood-red giant sword that was originally in the hands of three seven-ring goblins, which had difficulty even lifting it up, was directly held in Xu Xianxian's hand. She gripped the hilt of the sword and swung the giant sword back and forth, which was taller than her.
Moreover, his expression was extremely light, without any sense of effort at all.
"It's a bit heavy... but the special armor has increased my strength, at least from the fifth ring to the seventh ring. Coupled with my transformed soul, my mental strength is comparable to the ninth ring. I can perfectly utilize every bit of my magic power. Using this is just right."
Before she traveled through time and space, she was a martial artist who mainly specialized in close combat. Although she had not systematically learned sword skills, martial artists themselves had the talent to be able to use any weapon.
Weapons are nothing more than an extension of fists and feet.
The princess was right next to her, so Xu Xianxian couldn't move too much. Even if she couldn't hurt the other person, just swinging the sword at her would be an impolite act. So she could only try out the feel of the sword and then put it down.
"You...you can use it?!" Seeing this, the middle-aged goblin in white robes' expression changed immediately. He hadn't finished what he was saying before: "This greatsword is called Blood Natya. It was originally an heirloom of a viscount of the Troll Empire. It has very high requirements for the soul. Only those with the ninth ring or above can grasp the hilt."
