It was a small garden that was carefully cultivated, and the first generation Sword Saint Red was buried here.

People with power should use their own force voluntarily. Yangming Xiuyi disagrees with being forced to wield a sword because of his status and power.

"I remember you liked drinking."

This was the first time in his life that he experienced such a farewell. Yang Mingxiu unscrewed the cork of alcohol and poured it on the tombstone of his former friend.

What a pity. I was thinking of coming over to have another fight with him.

"who is it?"

A sweet voice interrupted Yang Mingxiu's past thoughts.

She was a slender figure with long red hair dotted with flowers, blue eyes and fair skin, wearing a white and green dress.

Theresa van Astraea is the granddaughter of the Heavenly Sword Red van Astraea.

Thearesia had just been hiding behind the ruins and witnessed Yangming Shuichi’s strange behavior.

The other person picked up a bottle of wine, poured it on his grandfather's tombstone, then sat in front of the tombstone and did not move again.

Why does this young-looking man look like he knows my grandfather?

But isn't it a bit too strange to pour wine on the tombstone? If it were those worshippers of my grandfather, they should have offered delicious food and held a grand sacrifice.

Yang Mingxiu looked back and keenly discovered the power contained in the other party, which is the so-called "protection" in this world.

The protection of the sword master and the protection of the death god.

"Who is Tianjian Leide to you?"

The moment that handsome face, which was different from any other nobleman she had ever seen, smiled at her, Thearesia paused and almost forgot what she wanted to say.

"Yes, my grandfather."

"That guy Red,"

Seeing the strange and helpless smile on Yang Mingxiu's face, Thearesia's doubts intensified again.

It's just that the other person seems to be very kind to me.

Could it be that he was an acquaintance of her grandfather? That was too strange. Her grandfather was a hero who was active three hundred years ago, and even Theresa herself had never seen him.

Even though they are heroes with protection, they are still human beings at heart. Their lifespans can only be said to be slightly longer than those of ordinary people, but it cannot be so outrageous.

If Yangming Shuichi was also a white-haired old man, then Theresa would still be willing to believe what she thought in her heart.

"I am a friend of your grandfather."

"You can call me, Yangming Shuichi."

No matter how unbelievable it was, Thearesia had to believe it.

Yangming Xiuyi, that is a famous name known to everyone in Lugnica. Even her grandfather is slightly inferior to her in achievements. In the legend, he is a wise man second only to Shenlong.

“Are you taking care of these flowers?”

If no one took care of it, this place would definitely be overgrown with weeds and would not exist as such a beautiful little garden at all.

"No, I don't like flowers."

Thearesia sat on the rocky cliff, looking at the man who called himself Yangming Shuichi.

"Are you really not lying to me? Are you the wise man who subdued the witch and planted the tree of life?"

"Isn't it similar?"

"It's not that it's unlike me, but I just find it a little hard to believe."

The girl looked carefully at the appearance of the person in front of her and found that he was indeed the same as the statue. Her behavior in front of her grandfather's tomb just now was not fake.

But this is a character that can only be seen in books, and yet he suddenly appeared in front of me and was talking to me.

It's too unreal.

A small ruin in the Astraea family territory on the border of Lugnica.

It is rumored that this is the burial place of the final battle of Heavenly Sword Red. He swung the dragon sword that drank the blood of the evil dragon for the last time here, releasing a powerful sword energy that affected the ruins of the previous buildings here. In order to commend Heavenly Sword for his contribution to the kingdom, the Lion King simply incorporated all the land affected by his sword energy into the territory of Astraea.

Although the title of nobility can allow future generations to enjoy wealth and glory, Red unexpectedly did not hold back in cultivating his descendants and was unexpectedly strict.

At that time, he was already in his twilight years, and the strength brought by his body was also fading with the passage of time, but he still did not see any new young people who could take over Lugnica. The kingdom could not be without a guardian, so he could only carefully train the many heirs born from his love affairs.

The facts did not disappoint him. Even though the Sword Saint's children were not as talented as him, in terms of martial arts, they were all experts who could hold positions in the Knights Templar.

However, these experts may also seem powerless when faced with wars between countries and races.

The subhuman war is ongoing, and we are losing.

Although the war had only been going on for a year, its intensity was almost higher than any war Lugnica had ever experienced. Also, since Heavenly Sword Reid had fallen into a long sleep and the top combat power was in a state of emptiness, this war lasted so long.

Theresa doesn't like flowers.

In her memory, flowers seem to be only associated with separation.

?708 Do you like flowers?

She had seen many flowers at memorial services at her grandfather's grave and at the funerals of those who had devoted their lives to defending their country.

People are grateful for Astraea's contribution to the country, but they secretly wonder if there is something wrong with Tianjian Leide's cultivation of future generations.

The reason is that there has never been another existence as almost invincible as Tianjian.

After the hero of the kingdom fell, people placed their hopes on the hero's family, hoping that his descendants would be able to protect the country again like the Sword Master did, and live a life without having to worry about foreign invasions, and live a life of peaceful development, quiet and tranquility.

But as the situation remained unclear after the Astraea family joined the war, people began to feel disappointed.

So people finally turned their attention to Theresa, the youngest daughter who had always been protected by her brothers.

Maybe this girl successfully inherited Tianjian Leide's talent?

Perhaps her brothers and uncles were just people with poor talents, and it was not that the Sword Saint Family was in decline.

Such pressure gradually began to appear on Thearesia, who was a Royal Guard Knight.

She was a very cute girl, wearing a green-sleeved and white skirt style dress, giving off an overall youthful and cute vibe. This might be because her long fiery red hair was tied into a hairstyle similar to two small ponytails with two ropes, or perhaps it was because she still had a somewhat childish face. All in all, Theresa was only fifteen years old this year.

With such fine weather today, a girl from a prominent family should probably enjoy life in the family manor, but under all kinds of pressure and gazes from the outside world, she reluctantly picked up the sword.

In the past, she would hone her skills at the place where her grandfather was buried. Because her uncle and brothers protected her very well, no one was willing to practice with her. She did not experience such a thing when she was a child. Theresa, who has been working hard under pressure, has never really fought once. She just became a member of the Knights Guard after passing a simple test of the Knights.

As the name suggests, the Knights Guard is a solid line of defense to protect the capital of the kingdom. Under normal circumstances, their job is to resist conflicts that invade the kingdom, but judging by the current situation, these "elites" may have to go to the battlefield soon.

This was not surprising, as Thearesia, who was born into a noble family in Lugnica and whose skills had been proven, was also among them.

But she herself didn't feel anything about holding the sword, she just wanted to live up to the name of Astraea.

However, today is a rest day, and before being sent to the front line, a young knight like her has very little work to do. It should be said that the so-called "elite" Knights Guard is actually a position very suitable for aristocratic children to gild their status, but under the tradition of the Dragon Kingdom, even such a position that makes people feel that there are many unspoken rules will not be flashy. In fact, these aristocratic children from famous families do live up to expectations.

It can be said that the young knights who come out of here will be young elites who can shoulder important responsibilities for the country in the future.

"If you don't like it, why do you come here to trim it?"

Yang Ming Xiuyi looked at the girl who had already started to get busy. She was squatting and pulling up weeds with her little hands to make the garden look tidier.

The girl's dazzling fiery red long hair emitted a pure flame-like color in the air as she stood up. She looked around and found that it was almost tidied up. Then she turned around and sat in front of Reid's grave with Yang Mingxiu.

“I just think something like this is more suitable for me.”

Her big eyes, as deep blue as the bottom of the sea, flashed with curiosity. If the person in front of her was really the legendary hero who had been active with her grandfather, then why did he suddenly disappear from the historical records with the witches at that time, and why did he return without any warning at this time?

"What are you thinking about?"

Yang Ming Xiuyi smiled. The girl in front of him was the descendant of one of the few good friends he still remembered. Although she was pretty and cute, Yang Ming Xiuyi did not have any special feelings for her at least for now.

This was the first time I felt the shackles of pressure from elders.

"Mr. Sage, why did you disappear after you subdued the witch?"

"This."

Yang Mingxiu looked up at the distant sky and saw soft white clouds hanging in the blue sky. It was indeed a good day today, very suitable for flower viewing.

"The world is too big. I can only do what I want in a short period of time with my own strength. If I want to save everyone, I can't stay in one place forever."

This is also the reason why, although he has been traveling through various worlds and said that his original intention was to have a harem, he has actually been trying to erase suffering from people's hearts.

I hope that wherever I see, there is happiness.

What a huge and rude dream. Just because of one's own preferences, one's hands are stained with blood. Even if it means taking the lives of others, one will be merciless. When one eliminates those whom one thinks are enemies, one will be extremely happy.

The arrogant man is practicing this path in his dream.

"Mr. Sage, did you leave to save more people?"

"You can understand that."

"I see."

Thearesia herself felt strange. She had such great trust in the man she had just met, and she had no doubt that he was the legendary sage.

The man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of her looked about the same age as her brothers. When Thearesia looked up, she could see that he was concentrating on gazing at the sky, deep in thought.

"awesome."

"What's so great about it?"

——Why did this child suddenly start praising himself?

To put it bluntly, his dream only comes from the never-ending passion and beating heart in his heart. In order to avoid regrets in the future, he has to do his best now and try his best, even if it means death.

This belief can also be called arrogance to some extent.

"I don't like flowers, and I don't like myself either."

"But in order to respond to the wishes of others,

He can only bow his head to fate, pick up the sword in his grandfather's hand, and use this power to hurt others in the future.

"If you don't like it, don't do it. Just do what you want to do."

"That won't do, Mr. Sage,"

Perhaps because of the trust she had with him, or because of the friendship she had known with her grandfather, Thearesia began to tell him about her inner thoughts that she had never told anyone before.

?709 Cheating

"I have to respond because I am a child of the Astraea family."

——So I have to do it, even though I have no interest in it.

She was afraid that her power could easily take the lives of others, so she never thought about becoming a swordsman, nor did she want to take up the mantle of "Sword Saint" and become a swordsman. However, under certain circumstances and conditions, she had to give in.

She is better than her master. In addition to the Sword Saint's protection, she also has her own even better protection.

Even though she hated and despised this power.

Because she possesses this power and has inherited the name of her grandfather, the Sword Saint, the girl is forced to shoulder this responsibility. Also, because of her identity as a royal knight, she will have to use force for the war between kingdoms.

"Because you are a child of the Astraea family, so what do you have to do?"

"That doesn't make me feel comfortable." Yang Mingxiu didn't know the reason, but wasn't this just the same as the saying that with great power comes great responsibility? Wasn't it pure moral kidnapping?

Thearesia’s eyes suddenly brightened.

No one has ever said such words to me.

——Yes, he is a sage, and it is said that he has the assistance of an omniscient witch. Combined with his own wisdom, perhaps he can get the answer from here.

Facing the girl with expectation in her eyes, Yang Ming Xiuyi responded with affirmation.

"Tell me what's going on."

She is Red's descendant, so she is also my junior. Or because she is a beautiful girl herself, I have to take a look at this matter.

. . . . . . . . . . .

"So that's it."

Yang Mingxiu pondered for a moment and quickly figured out the other party's current situation.

Simply put, in order not to disappoint the expectations of others, it is equivalent to grilling yourself on the moral grill.

It's sad to say that the fate of the country actually rests on the shoulders of this little girl.
