Shocked. Only the word 'shocked' can describe my current feelings.
Although he had heard people talk about Fabeni a hundred times on the way and had already imagined it a thousand times in his mind, he was still a little confused.
But I was wrong. Fabeni was Fabeni. No matter how many times you imagined it, you would never expect it to be such a city.
When it appeared in front of me, I realized that the thousands of people seemed so small compared to it.
The city walls that were several hundred feet tall stood in front of me. It felt like a tall mountain that wouldn't collapse, but it was definitely stronger than a mountain. This was because all the walls were made of the strongest material on the continent-magic crystals.
Even the huge siege weapon trebuchets could only leave a small white mark on it.
The magic absorption ability greatly reduced the effect of magic attacks.
The city walls were surrounded by a seventy-feet-wide, bottomless moat, faithfully protecting this great city.
In addition to the powerful magic barrier, complete city defense equipment, and elite guards, Farbeni became an unconquerable city.
All the enemies who tried to challenge it had finally shed their last bit of blood under this city. The demons, the beasts, and the humans who had the same blood had all paid a painful price for it.
The cavalrymen guarding us stopped their advance in front of the moat. Without the emperor's order, no troops are allowed to enter Farbeni.
Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Tai Long's strongest army, the Royal Dragon Knights, we rode across the suspension bridge and passed through the city gate that was more than ten meters tall and nearly one meter thick.
Running on the streets of Farbeni, our destination is the symbol of Farbeni's power, the palace of Altais III.
The pedestrians by the roadside did not pay too much attention to us galloping horses. As the capital of the Tai Long Empire, there were countless officials and nobles. As the residents of the capital, they were naturally used to this.
On the horse, I turned my head and looked curiously at the various shops and passersby dressed in different clothes on both sides.
Fortunately, the steed I was riding was well-trained and didn't throw me off the horse just because I was multitasking.
The team suddenly slowed down. I noticed the change and quickly focused my attention, looking ahead.
So we have already arrived at the inner city. According to my knowledge, unless there is an extremely urgent matter in the inner city, it is not allowed to ride a horse.
My teacher and I allowed our mounts to walk elegantly as we followed the knights leading the way.
Not long after, the center of power of the Tai Long Empire finally appeared. This palace was obviously of the same style as the city it was located in.
It was tall and majestic, but it was ingenious in its small parts.
There were no gorgeous decorations or exquisite furnishings. All that was left was an imposing aura, a domineering aura.
After entering the palace, I couldn't remain calm as I stepped on the red carpet of the palace.
"I'm here, I'm here. What am I going to face? What can I do?"
This was the first time I felt nervous about my future at the age of thirteen.
Thirteen years old might still be too young for others, but for me, who aspired to become the greatest Saint Magical Tutor and had an extraordinary destiny, I'm already not young!
The supreme ruler of the Tai Long Empire, known as the "Iron Blood Emperor", Altais III, immediately received us.
It was a kind and dignified old man. The intelligence in his eyes indicated that he was definitely not an easy person to deal with. This was the first impression I had of this King who had influenced my entire life.
Perhaps only such an old man can rule the most powerful country in the Fertile Continent. Perhaps only this old man can lead us to fight against the demons in the distance.
Maybe one day, I can be like him…
No, I will definitely surpass this person.
The Emperor's gaze didn't stay on me, who was behind everyone. His gaze was fixed on the two Grand Magisters, Will and Kane, my old friends.
It's been thirteen years. I haven't seen you for thirteen years. I didn't expect that you guys haven't changed much from before!
I'm so happy to see you guys."
The incomparably honorable Emperor actually left his throne and walked over, hugging the two Grand Magisters tightly.
Then, they completely ignored the others and left the hall hand in hand to reminisce about the past.
We, who were at a loss, could only stay where we were and wait for them to appear again.
"I didn't expect teacher to have such a good relationship with His Majesty. I wonder what benefits I can get this time."
After waiting for four hours, I was on the verge of exploding.
The three old men finally appeared in the hall again.
There was a girl in her teens standing beside the emperor. When I noticed her face, my mind instantly went blank.
Only the face was slowly growing bigger and clearer.
I didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but I felt that her lively eyes, delicate nose, and small mouth were so cute. It was as if she had cast some magic on me.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help but want to protect her and not let her get hurt at all!？"That, that must be the terrifying Mind Magic of the Darkness Element that Teacher mentioned before.
Yes, that must be the case! Otherwise, why would my heart beat so fast? What a powerful girl. I didn't expect that I, who was basically immune to magic, would still be defeated by her. I admire you!"
I immediately closed my eyes to escape her control.
At this moment, this little girl was also looking at me with interest. When I looked at her, she also discovered my existence. When I closed my eyes, she felt strange about my actions.
Ever since she was young, she had been very charming and could be said to be loved by everyone.
Why did this cute boy in front of her do such a funny thing?!
Closing his eyes in front of the emperor was obviously very impolite, and there was even the possibility of being sentenced to death. Teacher Weier rudely knocked me awake, but His Majesty Altais smiled at me."
"Child, I heard from your teacher that you're very ambitious. I want to hear what you want to be.”
"I, I will become the legendary Saint Magus.
He wanted to become a hero that everyone admired!
The strongest man in the world!
And I will definitely do it."
I clenched my fists and puffed out my chest to answer His Majesty's question.
"Shame, shame, shame. You want to become a Saint Mage Teacher? I don't think you can even become an ordinary magus. You're still just a magic apprentice.”The little girl was in disbelief.
" I…" I was about to retort with a flushed face when I suddenly remembered her powerful spiritual magic. I couldn't bring myself to say anything.
"Alright, Xingchen, you are a child who took the name of the continent as your surname. I believe that you will definitely have an extraordinary future.
But you know that any respected hero starts with a small task. Are you willing to accept the first mission I give you?”
His Majesty is watching me.
"Yes! I'm willing. No matter what mission it is, I can definitely complete it.”I said firmly.
Perhaps I didn't realize it, but at this moment, my entire body was exuding an astonishing aura.
"I hereby announce that Fertility Star will be conferred the title of Royal Knight and will be responsible for protecting Princess Lia. Can you guarantee that you will complete the mission? Constellation, my knight."
" I will. I swear on the life of my rich star to protect Princess Liya forever."
I swore.
The little girl's face was slightly red. His Majesty pointed at her and said to me,
" Alright, start your mission now." So she was the target I swore to protect.
However, did such a powerful Psychic Mage still need protection?! I was very puzzled.
Well, it seems that the emperor has seen through my invincible attitude!
