Chapter 276: The First Knight
That’s right, the painting depicted the Giant Panda that had accompanied Wei Huo for a long time. The painting also depicted him, Lu Qiqi, and the Giant Panda traveling south together.
It had been a clear morning. The panda had woken up early that day. For some reason, it had climbed onto a rock and roared toward the east like a lion. At the time, the sun had risen from the east. The sunlight had shone on its body, causing a faint golden color to appear on its black fur.
Although the panda had roared loudly, it had not actually produced a loud roar. That was because a panda’s cries were a little sharp. They were not as shocking as a lion or a tiger’s roars.
No one knew when creatures like pandas would do something weird.
Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi had seen that, but neither of them had said anything. They had waited quietly for a while before continuing their journey.
Wei Huo had not expected to recall a scene hidden in his memories.
He turned around and walked down the stairs toward the hall. There was an item in the hall that Wei Huo was familiar with. It was a bronze cauldron!
Wei Huo looked at the cauldron carefully and realized that it was the bronze cauldron he had lost under the snowy mountain of the Northern Continent. Upon seeing the cauldron, Wei Huo thought of the peerless savage in the legends of the Naga. Everything seemed to be connected.
The Queen of England was Lu Qiqi.
She had arrived in the Western Continent hundreds of years ago and obtained an inheritance. She had also obtained magical items and rune equipment. Then, she had become an Epic-ranked creature and had gone to the Northern Continent. After a long journey, she had arrived in the Northern Continent. She had then encountered the Naga and massacred them, leaving only the old, weak, and sick behind.
However, Wei Huo had already gone to the Divine Realm in the meantime. Lu Qiqi had found the bronze cauldron under the snowy mountain and brought it back to the Western Continent. When time had recovered, she had built the city and unknowingly become the Queen of England.
Images appeared in Wei Huo’s mind. This was another long story that belonged to Lu Qiqi.
Now, Wei Huo thought of the Mountain Giant’s words. Although it had only been an Epic-ranked creature, its understanding of the path had been unparallelled. It had once said, “Everyone has their own path. Everyone has their own story.”
Wei Huo walked out of the building. The Queen of England was not there. According to the information obtained from the tavern, she seemed to be out often. Everything in the country was left to the Prime Minister to handle. If there was a war, her First Knight would handle it.
Wei Huo decided to meet the First Knight. However, just as he returned to the main city’s streets, he heard another piece of news.
Someone was talking about a piece of armor.
A person told his companion, “Have you heard? There’s a Legendary treasure in the auction hall today. It’s a set of golden armor. That armor can actually emit a domain. If one wears it, one will be considered a Legendary creature.”
His companion was shocked. “Legendary? Are you kidding? To my knowledge, only the Queen’s sword and staff are Legendary. Why is there a Legendary set of armor?”
Upon hearing that, Wei Huo thought of the golden armor that had yearned for a lady.
A passerby heard their conversation and joined them. He said, “It’s said that this armor is Lancelot’s armor. Without it, Lancelot would not have had such a glorious and invincible battle record.”
Another passerby joined the discussion. “That’s not right. Why did I hear that it’s a woman’s armor then? The armor is small and not suitable for men.”
Upon hearing that, Wei Huo was almost certain that the armor was Golden Armor. The armor made in the East was smaller than Western armor because of the people’s smaller build. However, he had not expected the Western Continent to mistake it for a woman’s armor.
More and more people joined the discussion and started talking about the armor. Gradually, they started talking about Lancelot, the First Knight, and finally about the present-day Queen of England’s First Knight, Siyar Mikairis.
Someone said, “Is the owner of the armor crazy? Why would they auction off such a treasure and not hide it? Who is auctioning it?”
A rich guy said, “I like this armor. I will buy it even if I have to go bankrupt.”
However, someone rained on his parade. “Don’t be naive. Since it’s a woman’s armor, the First Knight will definitely take it. Who would dare snatch it from the First Knight?”
The rich guy’s confidence weakened. He then said, “I’ll buy it and give it to the First Knight, alright?”
Everyone was talking among themselves. It seemed like they had already confirmed that the armor should belong to the First Knight.
Wei Huo listened for a while but did not hear anyone say that the golden armor was self-aware. Wei Huo was confused. Was the golden armor not awake yet, or was this a trap set up by the golden armor?
Wei Huo planned to go to the auction house to take a look. At that moment, a group of Knights was heading over. It turned out those passersby had been constantly discussing the Legendary armor, thus blocking the traffic. At that moment, the First Knight was leading the patrol team into the city. Therefore, she immediately led the team over when she heard that.
“What happened?” From afar, people heard a loud female voice.
“The First Knight is here!”
“Move aside! You’re blocking the First Knight’s path!”
The pedestrians dispersed. They stood on either side of the road and made way for Wei Huo, who then saw the First Knight that they were talking about.
It was a golden-haired, blue-eyed English woman with a blue gem on her glabella. Four thin Mithril chains connected the gem to form a headdress that pinned her hair. Her hair, which was draped behind her back, reached her waist.
Her face was exquisite, and her eyes looked determined. She scanned the crowd, but no one dared to look at her.
Wei Huo hid in the crowd. His weak presence had unknowingly worked, so the female First Knight did not discover him.
The First Knight was riding a Unicorn. The aura it emitted was that of a half-step Epic-ranked Unicorn. This steed was very rare. He had not expected the First Knight to have one.
No matter how special the female Knight’s equipment was, it was not as eye-catching as her sword. The huge sword on her back was a pitch-black demon sword. The sword’s blade was hidden in the scabbard, but the hilt was pitch-black. It kept emitting an aura that came from the abyss.
