Chapter 128 Guardian Legend

Military expansion and weapons production were in full swing.

As his territory grew stronger, Rhodes focused his attention on himself.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is now a white knight capable of slaying cult leaders amidst a thousand troops.

It is an Extreme Knight who is infinitely close to the second tier.

In the Hanshui River's development area, its strength is among the top two.

This earned Rhodes the respect of the pioneering knights and nobles of the Duchy of Coldwater, and his reputation soared.

However, this is based on a comparison with the younger generation of children.

If we step outside of Coldwater County and look at the entire Northern Frost Duchy and the Kingdom of Rosa...

His achievements were not enough to make those great nobles take notice.

Moreover, as far as Rhodes knew, the Coldwater River basin where he was located was the weakest region in terms of the power of the pioneer knights.

Of the twelve seats in the Round Table Council, only Kelvin was present, and he himself was merely a first-tier Extreme Knight.

Of the three expansion directions, the area with the most influence is the Agate River basin.

Nine of the twelve seats are held by the Griffin Knights, led by the Third Prince Cumberland, which includes several second-tier Sky Knights.

Even if all the pioneering knights of the Coldwater River Basin were combined, they would be utterly crushed in front of their opponent.

Rhodes clearly understood that his strength was insufficient and that it was far from time to relax.

At night, he closed his eyes in his room.

Monday, time to head to the Northern Remnant once again.

When he opened his eyes again, Rod was sitting on a snow-covered birch tree.

He looked up and could vaguely make out the silhouette of a majestic city in the distance.

After several long treks, he had already crossed the initial Cold Ridge Corridor.

We are about to arrive at Tianma City, the largest city closest to Yongdong Royal City.

He leaped from the birch tree, and the armor attached to his soul appeared on Rhode's body.

The Ice and Snow Guardian set is worn from head to toe.

He continued forward, preparing to enter Pegasus City and learn about this mysterious spiritual world.

"Having slain dragon servants along the way, I have now accumulated a total of 500 units of mottled divinity."

On the road nearing the city, Rod checked his spoils.

Absorbing all of these mottled divine qualities would be enough for him to advance to the second tier of knighthood.

Become a second-tier Frost Knight, a symbol of the Northern Frost Duchy.

However, Rhodes decided to take it slow. Advancing to the Frost Knight level relied on bloodline activation, so there was no difficulty in advancing.

However, his wizard level is not high enough, and he needs to gradually improve his control over magic. He is currently still at the intermediate level of the first tier.

After advancing to the second-tier knight, bloodline will affect his autonomous control over magic.

This could very likely cause problems with a series of wizarding buildings, such as the Magic Field, Magic Pool, and Magic Steel Mill.

Only after one has advanced to the first tier of advanced wizard and stabilized their bloodline power can they further increase their knight rank.

Although it cannot be upgraded for the time being, the effects of the mottled divinity are not limited to this.

Rhodes recalled the knowledge of the [Magic Mechanism].

Whether it's material activation or material modification, it requires adding spiritual harmonization to the materials.

Time always flies when the brain is thinking.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the city gate.

Rod slowed his pace and looked up.

Before us lies the mysterious city of Pegasus, a land of ice and snow, its walls displaying a magnificent, translucent, crystalline color.

Under the sunlight, it refracts a dreamlike colorful halo.

The city wall is over thirty meters high, and in terms of scale alone, it is comparable to the Duanlong Fortress.

But that's only the surface.

Rod looked at the street in front of and behind the gate.

Every passerby there exudes a powerful aura; even the weakest among them possesses the strength of an elite knight.

If the Northern Frost Duchy had that kind of power, it would have trampled the entire continent under its feet and begged for its dominance long ago.

Just then, a young girl approached.

"You're also one of the guardian knights who've come to see the princess, right? Hello, my name is Anne."

Upon seeing Rhodes dressed in the same Ice Guardian outfit, looking around with the curiosity of a child, the girl greeted him warmly.

"Hello, my name is Rod, nice to meet you."

Rod responded politely, only to find the girl suddenly frozen in place, staring blankly at him.

Not only her, but also the female pedestrians around her stopped in their tracks and looked at her with surprise.

Rhodes understood what they were thinking.

Removing his helmet, he said frankly, "As you can see, I'm a man. I don't think there's a rule that only women can be chosen as guardian knights, right?"

Anne snapped out of her reverie, her voice unconsciously lowering: "No, but, but..."

She wanted to say that this was against tradition; how could a weak man be a knight?

Just as the girl was at a loss, a tall female knight wearing ice crystal armor walked towards them from the city gate.

"Ah, it's the city lord's guards from Pegasus City." Annie breathed a sigh of relief when someone broke the awkward silence.

Rhodes looked at the approaching guards.

The spiritual pressure from the second-tier being is very strong, but it's not impossible to fight against.

He mentally assessed the gap between the two sides.

With the blessing of the contract between the Mist Raven and the Snow Moon Rabbit, he was able to unleash the power of a second-tier Frost Knight for a short period of time.

With the wizard's precise control over magic, they can still manage to achieve a normal second-tier awakening.

Because of the hierarchy, Rhodes was unable to sense the other person's emotions.

The city lord's guard glanced at Rhodes, but didn't show much change in expression, as if he already knew about his situation.

"All guardian knights who have come to pay homage to Her Highness, come behind me and follow in my footsteps!"

The guards shouted at Rhodes and his companion, as well as at the rest of the city gate.

She then turned around and walked into Tianma City.

Annie quickly followed in the other person's footsteps, and Rod observed for a while before following along as well.

Not only the two of them, but more and more knights dressed in ice and snow suits came over, forming an orderly procession.

At first, the female knights all looked at Rhodes.

People had different feelings toward him as an outsider, including curiosity, disdain, and disgust.

But soon, no one paid any attention to Rhodes anymore.

Even he himself was captivated by what he saw, his eyes filled with amazement.

Led by the guards, they arrived at an altar in Tianma City, inside which stood a giant stone sculpture a hundred meters high.

It was a white horse, its front hooves raised high, and a pair of wings that blotted out the sky.

The guard leading the way turned to the group of knights gazing up at the stone sculpture and said:

"Eltinos, the 'King of Pure White,' is the object of worship in this sculpture in Pegasus City. He is also one of the three legends who guarded the Ice and Snow Kingdom and suppressed the White Frost Seal."

"Since you have chosen to come and pay homage to the princess, and are willing to contribute to resisting the awakening of the evil god, you should understand what is happening now."

As the guards slowly described the situation, Rhodes gradually gained an understanding of what was happening here.

According to them, a thousand years ago, a demigod ravaged the land.

Its name is "Crystallizing God of Eternal Winter", "King of White Frost", "Lord of Winter", "Frost Dragon" Omorpos.

This demigod was originally the king of the White Frost Clan.

At that time, they ruled the northern snow mountains together with the Ice and Snow Tribe.

But driven by the wild fire, He betrayed the Ice and Snow Clan, igniting the White Frost War that swept across the entire continent.

He attempted to devour everything in this world, turning it into fuel for his own ascension to godhood.

In the end, with the help of her three guardians, the Ice Queen suppressed the body of the Frost King in the far north ice mountain and sealed his soul to the Star Spirit Heaven.

As the price for protecting the world, the Queen and the three guardians, along with most of the inhabitants of the Ice Kingdom, perished.

The soul, along with the Frost King, was sealed in this spiritual world.

Rhodes looked at the white horse sculpture again.

"King of the Pure White" Eldinos, this is a sculpture of a fourth-tier legendary figure.

It is also the final evolutionary form of the Snowfield Steed, with the race name Skyfeather Unicorn.

"But even legends decay in order to suppress the souls of demigods. Whether it is the Queen or the three guardians, the passage of time has already weakened them."

The guard continued, "The princess has been born to succeed the queen. I have good news for you all: Her Highness will soon be visiting Pegasus City! You will be able to see her noble face in advance."

Upon hearing that the princess was coming, the female knights became excited and couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

Rhodes was no exception; being in the North in reality, he was more curious about this mysterious princess than anyone else.

But his curiosity didn't last long before the trouble at hand gave him a headache.

"Lord City Lord!"

Amidst the bowing greetings of the guards at the front, a voluptuous blue-haired woman in magnificent attire approached.

She stepped over the crowd and stood straight in front of Rhodes, staring intently at his face.

"I received a message from one of the guardians that a soul from the real world has unexpectedly entered this place. Very good, I'm glad you've come to me of your own accord."

The blue-haired city lord spoke calmly, reminding Rhodes of the frost unicorn that had given him the Guardian Knight Medal.

It seems it wasn't because he protected the village.

Instead, it was a case of sudden disappearance and reappearance, just like the birth of the princess, and she was recognized as coming from reality.

Fearing it might pose a threat, the Frost Unicorn simply gave him the medal, letting him deliver it to him himself.

It looks like a pure and kind unicorn, but it's actually very wicked!

"I didn't do anything wrong," Rod explained, obediently raising his hands.

Leaving aside the powerful and oppressive aura emanating from the blue-haired city lord, who was suspected to be at the third rank.

He was not capable of resisting the twenty-odd second-tier imperial guards following behind her.

Under the rhythm of the wizard's meditation, Rhodes was certain that he could leave at any time and was in no hurry to escape.

It's more like running away is useless; you'll just end up back in the same spot when you come back.

As for never returning to the Northern Remnant?

What about the evil god who is about to be resurrected in reality? His true form, located in the North, has nowhere to run.

"I don't know how you escaped the seal, but the princess is about to arrive in Pegasus City, and I cannot allow any accidents to happen."

The blue-haired city lord raised his hand, and a guard stepped forward and handcuffed Rhodes's hands with a pair of ice crystal-like handcuffs.

"Perhaps you are Bai Shuang's lackey who infiltrated here with a scheming plot to murder the princess, or perhaps you are an innocent unlucky soul who was unintentionally dragged into this place."

The blue-haired city lord said, "Regardless of the facts, from now on you'd better stay put on my turf. At least you won't have to worry about your safety."

She waved to the guard: "Lock him in the Frozen Prison!"

The guards who had handcuffed Rhodes bowed their heads and obeyed the order, leading him in another direction amidst the puzzled gazes of the others.

"Don't bother struggling. These are magic-suppressing handcuffs. Unless you possess pure third-tier physical strength, it's impossible to break free."

Halfway there, seeing Rhodes fiddling with his handcuffs, the guard turned around and gave him a warning.

Rhodes nodded and stopped moving, but he could still feel the magic power flowing normally within his body.

This thing might work on him in reality, but this is the spiritual world.

Everything here is essentially a spiritual simulation of reality.

Rhodes' soul was protected by the meditation method, and many negative effects could be ignored.

The simulated effects of the magic-suppressing handcuffs had no effect on him, and he could break free at any time with the help of the Feather of Hidden Mist.

Seeing that the guards' attitude wasn't too bad, Rhodes wanted to inquire about the princess's situation.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it and didn't say anything.

Others already suspected him, believing he was a suspect who had come from the real world and wanted to carry out an assassination.

The result wasn't too bad; he just ended up in jail.

If we keep asking him questions at this point, he might not be sent to prison, but executed directly.

The Ice Prison is located in the underground space at the northernmost part of Pegasus City.

There were two floors in total. Rhodes was dutifully locked up here by the guards and taken directly to the deepest part of the prison.

He discovered that there were quite a few people imprisoned here.

"Oh, which of your companions couldn't take the torture anymore and chose to rebel, getting sent in this time?"

Deep within the prison, upon seeing the guards in their ice crystal armor arrive, one of the dozen or so female prisoners who had been detained there looked up and smiled.

However, when they saw Rhodes who followed them in, they were surprised to find that he was a blond boy.

Especially after discovering the magic-suppressing handcuffs on his hands, everyone's expressions were filled with bewilderment.

"What does this mean? Is that old woman worried we're too horny and frustrated, so she specially sent a handsome young man for us old subordinates to vent our frustrations?"

Seeing these dozen or so second-tier female prisoners staring at him like wolves,

Her eyes swept over his entire body with an aggressive gaze.

Rhodes rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Is this what the city lord meant by 'no danger to life'?"

"Like the princess, he is an outsider from reality."

The guards glanced at them and replied calmly.

"I have received word that the princess will be arriving in Tianma City soon. The city lord suspects that he is a subordinate of the White Frost King and has decided to imprison him."

Upon hearing the news of the princess's arrival, the female prisoners all narrowed their eyes.

It reveals a long-suppressed desire.

Rhodes, standing behind her, gave the guard a strange look.

These female prisoners appear to be from Pegasus City, imprisoned for certain crimes.

This guard may have originally been a colleague.

Even so, is it really necessary to explain this so clearly? They even revealed information about the princess.

Instinctively, Rhodes sensed an ominous atmosphere.

Something's not right about this prison, and the situation with the city lord's guards is even more suspicious.

When that princess arrives in Tianma City, there will likely be a lot of trouble.

Wait, that doesn't seem like a bad thing for me?

Looking at the handcuffs on his wrists, Rod suddenly felt relieved.

Oh, I'm a prisoner here now too. Never mind then.
