Chapter 1234 The Definition of Friends
After much consideration, Victor came up with the idea of asking the Phoenix King to grant Elena a purity pardon.
As long as the elves recognize that Elena has not been corrupted by Chaos, the church cannot force another purity test at the risk of offending the other god.
Moreover, systematic magic is taught to humans by elves. As long as the elves guarantee it, the Magic Academy will not miss this opportunity to show friendship.
Victor had no interest in the food on the table. He glanced at Elena and found that she was still dressed like a farmer's child who had just entered the city: "Go and change clothes, just use the... dress provided by the palace servant. "
Elena's arms shook. She thought of some bad rumors and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears: "Are you ready to sell me..."
"You have three minutes."
Five minutes later, the stern witch hunter walked out of the barracks near the palace with a child. Under the strange eyes of Rick's guards, he strolled to the palace where the Phoenix King was.
The person blocking the door was naturally the Phoenix Guard, the silent sentry Gu Jing Wubo, and the strange particles floating around his body from time to time fully illustrated one thing.
The Phoenix King treats the Teutonic Guards as his personal guard, and the guards who stand guard only on the outside are the Chosen Ones.
He had heard rumors about the Phoenix Guard from Lauren Loren Forest, and Victor would not bother talking to the Silent Sentinel like other visitors, but simply took out the note he had just received and handed it over.
After checking to confirm that the handwriting and seal on the note came from His Majesty's herald, the Phoenix Guard opened the palace door.
After opening the palace, Victor discovered the strangeness of this palace. It was like a butterfly standing out from the crowd in a flea nest...
Strictly speaking, the Imperial Palace is a military fortress, so its construction was more defensive than political. There may be a secret passage hidden behind every sculpture that looks simple and rigorous.
But the Phoenix King's residence seemed very...exaggerated, much more exaggerated than the elven palace he had seen in Lauren Loren. There were exquisite doorways and handsome dragon decorations everywhere, well-cultivated garden paths, and young children. The dragon is a round fountain that spits water.
Except for the occasional guard passing by, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn, as if you were in an elegant paradise.
Elena's eyes were wide open, why could a rainbow appear in a small fountain... and the yellow thing on the porch should be gold.
When the two of them didn't know where to go, someone called him.
"Victor's inner court guard?"
The flame knight wearing dragon armor shimmered under the setting sun, and the golden armor was stained with a layer of redness, washing Victor's vision like blood.
He didn't walk very fast, but every step carried strong pressure.
As a guard team that has accompanied the monarch for many years, the Flame Knights have not undergone any attrition or expansion since they were founded with 60 people.
Some people whose physical functions have deteriorated due to old age have also been alleviated by their devout beliefs... Many people speculate that it was His Majesty who used the power of Asuryan to solidify the physical condition of the Dragon Prince.
This means that all the Flameborn Knights are the most elite warriors in Ulthuan, the undoubted trump card in the hands of the Phoenix King.
It also means that this is a strong man that Victor has rarely seen.
Very strong... even stronger than the Dragon Prince I saw in Lauren Loren Forest.
Victor has come into contact with some elite elven troops, such as the Serpent Front under Elvis and the Black Blades of Oliveira's guards... They are very strong, but they are not as strong as the Flameborn Knight in front of him.
After a short period of judgment, Victor felt that he was not sure of capturing the Flameborn Knight, and handed over the note again: "I am Victor Salzpire, and I am here under the orders of the Phoenix King."
The Flameborn Knight took the note and glanced at it briefly. The news that His Majesty was very interested in a human had spread among the Flameborn Knights.
"I am Flameborn Knight Boca Chiri, Victor... who is this beside you?"
The Flameborn Knight glanced at Elena's thin body, and his rich experience allowed him to judge that this little human girl was a user of magical wind. According to regulations, every mage who approaches His Majesty must undergo strict scrutiny...
The main reason is that they are worried about Tzeentch's influence. No one can figure out what big things the big blue bird can do.
"She is a magic wind affinity person that I accidentally rescued..." Victor detailed the details of rescuing Elena, and made a request: "I beg the Phoenix King to give her a A chance, a chance to live.”
"Your compassion has changed my impression of witch hunters..." Bocaqili nodded slightly and did not comment on this matter. If Phyllis was present, she would definitely doubt Elena. Maybe it was Tzeentch's arrangement.
The demon Tzeentch must have known about His Majesty's interest in the witch hunter, so he arranged for a little girl who didn't know the details halfway to rely on the witch hunter's sympathy to connect with the Phoenix King!
The Fireborn Knight has no such worries. It is really Tzeentch's plan. With His Majesty's ability to restrain Chaos... I only hope that this demon can successfully escape back to the Chaos Demon Realm.
After careful inspection, he believed that Elena was indeed an ordinary human child on the surface. The Flameborn Knight turned around and waved for the two of them to follow.
While walking, Bocaqili asked: "How did you get that sword on your waist...?"
"A gift from a friend."
Bocacciri shook his head and expressed some confusion: "Elvis is willing to give a weapon that was smelted from the fragments of his grandfather's sword to a human being?"
Victor stopped, his stern expression turned into surprise, and he vaguely understood why some of the elven nobles he met looked at him in surprise when he was guarding the inner court for the past few days.
"Is this weapon... very valuable?"
Bocachili stopped and glanced at the elven sword worn on Victor's waist. The familiar pattern and dragon scales on the sword guard were probably telling who the real owner was: "From a practical point of view, this weapon is nothing special. It may be of some help to you, but for Elvis, it is actually a burden.
But the cause of his grandfather's death was to sacrifice himself to protect the current Prince Caledor, which was a great honor for his family... Imagine a symbol of the monarch's recognition of the family's honor fell into the hands of humans. Do you think it is valuable?"
"This." Victor's brows wrinkled like a caterpillar. He just pointed at a weapon casually in the command room. He didn't expect Elvis to put such an important thing in public.
"Can I return this sword to him through your hands?"
"As you said, this is a gift from a friend... The elves have different standards for friends than humans. When one day you think you have earned the honor worthy of the gift, return it to him with something of equal value." (End of this chapter)
