Lord of Rot

In the sultry weather during the plum rain season, restless frogs croaked from all around.

Even a light rain failed to improve the weather. On the contrary, the hot women's skirts were lifted higher and higher, exposing more and more of their white parts.

On the street where there were few pedestrians in the past, now there are more figures. The reason is probably because His Majesty the Emperor invented a new thing - umbrella.

The sound of water droplets pattering on the umbrella, the humid air around me, but my body was very dry, and the refreshing feeling of walking slowly in the rain.

Aviva has not yet adapted to the humid weather in the royal city, and her skin has long adapted to the dryness and coldness of the north.

Holding the umbrella, she quickly ran to a small shop next to the tavern. She turned around, folded the umbrella, and shook it before entering the house with the umbrella.

“Welcome~”

The female boss, who was wrapped in a white cloth headscarf and had a sweet smile on her freckled face, saw Aviva and greeted her eagerly: "You came really early today."

"Please give me a cup of tea. Has a letter been sent recently?" Aviva found a small round table and sat down.

"I'm afraid we have to wait until tomorrow," the female boss said apologetically, "the weather is bad and the courier's route is not easy to walk, so it must be slower."

A cup of hot sweet orange tea was delivered to the small table in front of Aviva: "There are new snacks recently released, do you want to try them?"

"What snack?"

"The puff pastry praline cake was developed by Chef Longbao."

"How did I not hear it being said?"

"There is always a lot of delicious food in Longbao." The woman smiled: "Our Emperor loves delicious food deeply."

Aviva is no longer the same as when she first came to the royal city.

It is impossible for a chef who only makes pastries to build a shop in the Wangcheng Commercial Street, where land is at a premium, and he can afford the high rent even when there is little business every day.

According to her understanding, the monthly rent for a shop here may cost "gold days", and some businessmen will even fight for a piece of land.

But the female boss who has always been alone has never had such troubles.

"I'm really embarrassed that letters have to be sent to you every time." Aviva scratched her cheek: "After I take the exam next month and assign a place to live, I should be able to receive letters by myself."

The female boss shook her head and said it was nothing: "I am also very happy that you can come here often and chat with me."

She changed the subject and asked, "Is training hard?"

"Fortunately," Aviva said: "It's definitely not that easy to become a Royal City Dragoon, but there are 300 people in our batch participating in the training, and they are all nobles. I don't know how many people will be qualified in the end."

But the female boss asked: "How high can you rank in training?"

"I can only barely make it into the top 50," Aviva regretted: "Although I have worked hard to improve myself, others will also improve."

"Have you never considered becoming a Hippogriff?"

"What?" Aviva was stunned.

The Dragon Cavalry comes from the Panber Continent. It is said that it is the bloodline descendant of the Emperor's White Dragon and a flying dragon from the Panber Continent. It is a very rare flying monster. It is not only powerful in combat, but also able to control ice and even use some very low-level frost magic.

It is said that the flying dragons born in the first generation are very powerful and as strong as a small house, but those flying dragons do not participate in fighting and are only responsible for production.

After slowly cultivating them, the flying dragons with degraded bloodline are the ones they can ride.

"Hipeagle Cavalry?"

Aviva has indeed heard of this very beautiful monster, and the Hippogriff cavalry can be seen in many big towns.

Its image also represents the royal family to a certain extent.

"Although the fighting power of the Hippogriff is not as good as that of the Wyvern, it has a better personality, and unlike the Wyvern Cavalry, the Hippogriff needs to live together since the foal period, and is closer emotionally. Most of the work is as a royal guard, and It won’t be too dangerous...Miss Aviva, you probably don’t like war either, right?”

"I haven't even heard of the Hippogriff Cavalry recruiting people, because it must be a secret branch or something."

The female boss shook her head: "It is indeed a secret recruitment. All the nobles are competing for internal digestion quotas. In fact, the number is still far from enough."

"Can I choose?"

"You definitely can't choose the Dragon Cavalry," the female boss said, "because the Dragon Cavalry is responsible for war, and the adults in charge of managing the army are all men. They don't think women can go to the battlefield to fight, so women will definitely be transferred to other positions. Yes, even if I don’t tell you, there is a high probability that you will become a Hippogriff Cavalry.”

Aviva wanted to refute that except for the fact that the emperor was a man, the number of women in various positions in the entire country was not much less than that of men.

But in the end she just swallowed. Aviva wanted to know why the female boss knew this.

It sounds like top-secret information. It must have something to do with it in Dragon Castle.

"The commander of the first regiment of the Hippogriff Cavalry is now Queen Stacy." The female boss whispered: "So women have more opportunities with her~"

"You... why do you know this?" Aviva finally couldn't help but ask.

The female boss smiled slightly: "Because I occasionally send snacks to noble gentlemen, and I overheard it quietly."

"So that's it!"

The door opened, and a slender figure wearing a black raincoat walked in.

Aviva looked at the girl who had taken off her hat. The rain had wet her long hair on her forehead, and there was a bit of coldness on her handsome face. She was immediately shocked.

She looks so beautiful!

There is no family mark on the other party, indicating that she is not a noble.

"Oak Basin, why did you move out? Can't you live with me?" The girl complained: "Every time I want to play with you, I have to run far away."

But the female boss teased: "Even if I live with you, you won't be in the room every night."

The girl's face turned red.

"Congratulations, you got what you wanted. You have been by your side for almost ten years."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more deeply, Aviva was embarrassed to listen any more, so she paid the money and stood up to leave.

Not long after returning to the training camp, she received a notice that she could choose to continue training to become a flying dragon cavalry, or she could work hard to become a hippogriff cavalry.

The instructor said with a straight face: "The choice is up to you, but I will also tell you the news I know. The competition for the Hippogriff Cavalry is very fierce. Unlike the Flying Dragon Cavalry, there are only 300 people competing. I also hope that you can start from the same." end."

Aviva hesitated again and again, but finally chose to trust the female boss Oak Basin.

The instructor's news seemed inferior to that of the mysterious female boss.

Early the next morning, Aviva and a few dozen people entered the Dragon Castle.

When they first entered the castle, they saw two sleeping giant dragons crawling in the huge square-like courtyard. Every breath and breath produced scorching waves, and their hearts were beating wildly in horror.

Even when passing by one of the giant dragons, the dragon suddenly opened its eyes.

The top-notch suppression from the legendary creatures made this group of extraordinary knights, who were definitely the pride of heaven in other places, go blank.
