Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 101 New Members of the Hall
north.

A village.

Hu Hu Hu.

The cold wind was howling and the sky was gray, as if it was always covered with a layer of icy gauze.

In an open space several dozen meters away from the village entrance, a young girl was swinging a sword alone.

She has long ice-blue hair that falls like a waterfall. Her hair dances in the cold wind, as beautiful as a frozen flame.

She has a high nose bridge and a face as delicate as an ice sculpture. Her skin looks snow-white due to the scarce sunlight in the north, and her emerald green eyes are as cold and clear as emerald.

No matter from which angle you look at her, the girl is a first-class beauty, but the sharpness of her sword swing and the resolute expression on her face make anyone who sees her subconsciously think that she is a brave knight.

"Dolovi, it's getting dark soon and there might be snow. You should go back to the village."

A middle-aged knight came over, stopped the girl from practicing swordplay, and put a thick sheepskin cloak on her thinly dressed body.

"Thank you, Uncle Ranson."

Dolowei wrapped her cloak tightly around herself. Only after she stopped practicing sword did she realize how cold her body was. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by now.

"Hu" the girl exhaled, and the breath condensed into a ball of white mist in the cold air.

Looking at the girl in front of him who had been practicing swordsmanship in the cold wind all day, a hint of satisfaction and imperceptible sadness flashed in the middle-aged knight's eyes.

If it weren't for the damned King of Gluttony and the Crimson Fire, the girl should have lived in a magnificent castle, wearing beautiful dresses, learning etiquette and dancing, enjoying the service of servants and the infinite love of her relatives, with a fireplace in winter and an ice cellar in summer.

Then she lived happily until her coming-of-age ceremony, and then married a handsome and strong young man to continue to be loved and live a happy life.

Instead, she traveled thousands of miles away from her hometown with a group of warriors to hide in the harsh northern climate. Although she was a girl, she had to carry the last glory of the Mason family. She practiced sword skills in the cold wind since she was a child, and she never stopped even when she fainted or her hands and feet were cold.

"Dolowei, you are only twenty years old now, but you have already achieved the Crescent Moon rank. In terms of talent alone, even the Crimson Flame cannot compare to you. Maybe you can take a break and go to the Polar City to see the scenery instead of spending the whole day practicing sword." Lanson advised.

Twenty years old, girl, Xinyue. If other people heard these words, they would be shocked.

"Uncle Lanson, you overestimate me and underestimate the Red Fire." The girl shook her head calmly.

"Although I achieved the Crescent Moon at the same age as that Scarlet Flame, he only possesses the Commoner Protection, while I possess the Morning Star Noble Protection that my father painstakingly planned for me during the Infant Honor Ceremony. Therefore, in terms of talent, he should be superior to me."

"What's more, my enemy has never been the dead Crimson Flame, but the high and mighty Gluttony King, who is at least at the level of the Sun Wheel. For this reason, I absolutely cannot stop."

"One day, I will chop off the head of that tyrannical king, carrying with me the blood and tears of my family and the people of the East!"

As she spoke these words, the girl's aura was as sharp as a sword. The cold murderous aura she released even made Lanson, the Crescent Knight beside her, subconsciously prepare for battle.

"Okay, very good, Dolowei. I believe you can inherit the Grand Duke's will and liberate the entire Sosia from the mad rule of the King of Gluttony."

Lanson's face was full of relief.

"But before that, perhaps we can first avenge a blood debt for the Grand Duke."

"Kari has returned from the southern border and brought news about the Martha family. They are now emaciated, with the head of the family being an old woman and only two Crescent Knights. Yet, they occupy the southern border, the only place in Sosia with abundant food."

"With our current combat power, we might be able to directly attack Red Fox Castle, slaughter Martha and avenge her to achieve greatness. We can then hide and entrench ourselves in the vast and dense forests of the southern border, recruiting people and growing stronger."

Lanson slowly stated his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lanson, I'm not going to take revenge on Martha. My only enemy is the King of Gluttony." The girl rejected it without hesitation.

"Dolowei, have you forgotten the revenge for your father's murder when the Red Flame killed the Grand Duke and took his head to seek credit?"

As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Lanson's face was filled with disbelief, and he asked in a panic.

"But the Crimson Flame is dead." Dolowei said calmly.

"In the first few years after I learned of my father's death, I truly hated Martha, who was born into the Crimson Fire. I even dreamed at night of slaughtering the people of Red Fox Castle and beheading everyone there to comfort my father."

"But later I learned about the wish that Crimson Flame made. He didn't ask for extravagant wishes like a promotion to a noble title or becoming the king's godson. Instead, he chose to exempt the people of the southern border from grain taxes."

"If he chooses the former, I will never give up this blood feud. One day, I will make the Martha family, who used my father's head in exchange for profit, shed blood and leave no one alive."

"But since he chose the latter, I believe he is essentially a great knight like my father. Therefore, despite our different positions, I will still respect him and no longer harbor hatred. Instead, I will consider his death a debt forgiven." "Moreover, in order to overthrow the almighty King of Gluttony, we must unite all forces that can be united.

"Since the Martha family has managed to turn the southern border into Sosia's only paradise, they are not our enemies. Instead, they are allies that must be won over and cooperated with."

After the girl's well-reasoned statement, Lanson's panicked expression gradually calmed down.

"Dolowei, you have really grown up!" he exclaimed sincerely.

".I'm just used to facing the cold wind."

The girl looked up at the snowflakes slowly falling under the gray sky, her expression slightly gloomy.

Looking at this scene, Lansen felt extremely sad. He thought for a moment and said:

"Dolovi, I picked some mushrooms today. I can make you some mushroom porridge."

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Ranson. That's great! Finally, I don't have to chew on that hard-as-rock black bread!"

The girl who had just looked melancholy suddenly cheered. At this moment, she finally showed the vitality of girls of her age.

"Maybe I shouldn't have taught Dolowei swordsmanship back then, and let her grow up happily like a normal girl."

Looking at Dolores who was happy because of a bowl of mushroom porridge, Lanson had a smile on his face, but he regretted his past choice in his heart.

Spark Hall.

The towering crystal dome is covered with countless exquisite murals, which tell stories of wars full of blood and tears.

The ground was paved with turquoise copper and iron, and eleven black stone prisms rose into the sky, making the only red prism particularly unique.

"where is this place?"

Dolowei drew the sword from her waist and looked vigilantly at the magnificent palace in front of her.

After she finished the whole pot of delicious mushroom porridge, she soon fell asleep.

Then when she regained consciousness, she found herself here.

"Is it some kind of illusion? Or does it involve the ability to shift space?"

Dolowei was thinking about various speculations in her heart. No matter which possibility it was, she had to be prepared to fight.

Tapping.

The girl's light footsteps sounded particularly harsh in this empty hall.

Soon, Dolowei's attention was attracted by the lifelike mural on the only crimson prism.

As she had specifically learned about the life of Red Fire, she naturally recognized that the above description was of Red Fire's life.

"This is father!" Suddenly, the girl stared at one of the murals and couldn't take her eyes off it.

In the mural, a tall headless corpse stood on a huge pit, and in the right hand of the corpse, he was holding a bloody head - it was Grand Duke Mason!
"Damn."

Seeing her adored father in such a miserable state, Dolowei silently clenched her hands into fists, her green eyes now filled with rage.

For a moment, her heart was in turmoil.

Who was responsible for this cruel scene? It could only be the Crimson Fire.

Is this a deliberate humiliation on his part to my father? Should I then let go of my hatred out of respect for him as a great knight?
Was I summoned to this palace because the person behind the scenes wanted to wipe out the Mason family?
Then, the person behind the scenes must be related to Martha!

Crackling.

Just as she was completely filled with rage, two torches suddenly appeared not far away.

Then the flames dispersed, revealing the figures of Tamerlan and Hegex.

"Hello, new companion."

Seeing the newcomer, Tamerlan gave him a friendly greeting, but what greeted him was a swift slash as fast as wind and thunder!
