Chapter 22 The Selection of the Oath Knights Begins
"What is that?"
Su Xuan stared at the white roses floating in the sky.
The size of this rose flower was astonishing, its overall size was at least tens of meters. Even a single petal was several meters long! At the same time, it was rippling with white magic in a wave-like manner, emitting a refreshing and faint fragrance.
"That is the guardian of our Sunset City - the White Rose." Natasha said with a smile, "It has stood in Sunset City for countless years, but no one can reveal its true origin. Some people firmly believe that it is the generous blessing of the gods to Sunset City, representing the protection and blessing of the gods. Others believe that it is the soul of a saint, and it will always protect the city in this way."
"I see."
Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
I was curious about the origin of the White Rose and couldn't help but wonder: Could there be a hidden mission here?
[White Rose's soul detected! (Not enabled)]
Is this true or false?
Su Xuan's pupils trembled slightly. Is there really a hidden mission?
"Hmm~?"
Ivsa, who was sitting next to Su Xuan, looked at him curiously.
Because they were very close, she could feel Su Xuan's body trembling slightly due to surprise.
This made Evesa feel a little confused. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be because her president was interested in the white rose?
Or did he discover that I had secretly exposed my succubus tail in the carriage? That doesn't make sense!
Obviously, she has already restrained her seductive power...
It was all because the carriage was too crowded and the two of them were too close! Under Luo Xiya's arrangement, Su Xuan was led to a viewing stand closer to the venue.
The venue for the selection of the Oath Knights is an area similar to an arena, surrounded by a circle of stands and an open space in the middle.
The huge white rose was quietly suspended above the venue, and the white magic power was rippling like water waves, spreading in all directions. This magic power seemed to form an invisible magic barrier that enveloped the entire venue.
"Let's just sit here."
Natasha invited Su Xuan to take a seat.
Su Xuan nodded, and after sitting down, he looked around.
Members of the six knight families have all arrived, and a rough estimate is that there are at least two to three hundred people.
As for strength...
It seems that it is not as powerful as he had judged before. The highest level of Sunset City may be only about level 18, instead of the 20 he originally estimated. Only those knights who have received the gift of the white rose can undergo a qualitative change.
In addition, the Yerman family is the only orthodox knight family with a long heritage. Although other knight families also have heritage, they can only be regarded as small family forces compared to the Yerman family.
Unfortunately, the shipwreck caused heavy losses to the Yerman family, resulting in the overall combat capability of Sunset City appearing quite weak.
"Later, Luo Xiya will enter there to receive the White Rose Ceremony." Natasha pointed to the place in the distance that was shrouded by the magic of the White Rose. "If any emergency occurs, I will leave it to Mr. Su Xuan."
"good."
Su Xuan responded, looked around, and began to look for suspicious people in the crowd.
They did not encounter any ambushes along the way, nor did they hear any unusual movements.
This made Su Xuan confused as to what the other party was planning. At the same time, he was more certain that the enemy guild would take action during the selection ceremony of the Oath Knights.
During the conversation, twelve young knights from six knight families were ready to enter the arena. They were accompanied by several knights from their respective families to ensure their safety.
It was not surprising that one of the two candidates from the Yerman family was Luo Xiya. However, it was somewhat unexpected that the other one was her cousin Mei Xing. However, in this world, the family system was somewhat different and was not simply dominated by the paternal bloodline.
When the twelve young knights appeared in the public eye, they immediately caused exclamations from the audience.
"Is that Miss Loshia from the Yerman family?"
“It’s amazing!”
"It is rumored that she is the most talented young knight in Sunset City after Knight Lotherin!"
"She is my niece after all, and Knight Lorthalen is the most powerful sworn knight in a hundred years!"
"She is also extremely beautiful, with the demeanor of Knight Lortharen when she was young."
“…”
Everyone shouted, amazed at Roshia's beauty and strength.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
At this moment, a deep voice exploded throughout the venue like thunder.
The heads or acting heads of the six knight families stepped onto the main stand one after another. Their majesty immediately made the young knights present keep quiet.
Among them, an old knight from the Yerman family took a step forward and took out a prepared speech from his pocket. According to convention, before the selection of the sworn knights began, he needed to read the knight's declaration.
"The White Rose Ceremony is the most grand selection ceremony held in Sunset City every twenty years. It represents..."
“…”
"above!"
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
Finally, the long and solemn declaration came to an end, and the old knight finally announced: "Then now! The selection ceremony of the sworn knights officially begins!"
As soon as the words came out, the audience became excited.
"Is it finally time to start?"
“I can’t wait!”
"Let us witness whether the Oath Knights are still in the Yerman family!"
"Knight Roshia is still far superior to other young knights of the same generation from other families. I believe she is still the best candidate to inherit the title of Oath Knight."
"That may not be the case. I heard that several other knight families have also made great efforts and carefully trained their younger generations."
"Especially since it has been ten years since the Yerman family suffered a heavy blow, they have not yet fully recovered. It is hard to say whether they can regain their strength this time!"
“…”
Amid cheers, the twelve young knights marched toward the place where the white roses bloomed.
When they stepped into the venue covered by the magic of the white rose, a layer of golden light shone on everyone's body. That was the proof of their qualifications. Only with this layer of golden light could they avoid being expelled by the magic of the white rose.
Su Xuan stared at Luo Xiya's surroundings intently, carefully searching for any traces of magic fluctuations. Once a dangerous situation appeared, he would immediately let Luo Salin take action.
At this moment, Su Xuan noticed that rose petals were floating silently into the selection venue, isolating the twelve young knights participating in the selection in their respective independent venues.
As the white rose blossomed, its magic gradually condensed into phantoms of knights. After performing a knight's salute, these phantoms swung their swords at the twelve young knights.
The young knights drew their swords one after another, ready to face the first round of tests from the Gift of the White Rose.
“Huh~”
Luo Xiya stood there and took a deep breath. Her blue eyes flickered, her fingertips lightly grasped the hilt, and she slowly drew out the golden sword from her waist.
[Sword of the Oath (Elite): A golden long sword made of special iron ore, containing a trace of the power of the oath. Attack power +300! Causes an additional 50% damage to evil units. ]
"A sword of elite quality?"
Su Xuan naturally noticed the sword in Luo Xiya's hand.
An elite quality sword is really good. If Lorraine can get one, her combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be further enhanced.
"What is this breath?"
Just as Su Xuan was concentrating on the situation in the arena, the nun Evesa sensed a hint of danger.
Her eyes flickered, and she quickly moved closer to Su Xuan's ear and whispered, "Mr. Su Xuan, I sense the breath of death and decay nearby!"
"Death and decay?"
"Yes." Ivsa nodded and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a necromancer hiding around us..."
