“It’s exactly the same as in the legend.”
Looking at her purple-blue right hand, Elina couldn't help but sigh.
Legend has it that the [Ice Rose] is only allowed to be touched and used by its recognized master. If anyone else tries to touch it forcibly, they will be frozen.
Even demigods are no exception.
"Now you know where my dukedom and my noble status come from."
Margaret gently stroked the giant bow in her hand, which was as docile as a sheep, and spoke softly.
This [Ice Rose] brought her so many changes, some good and some bad.
Even Margaret didn't know how to feel about this magical weapon that everyone dreamed of.
"I see. No wonder you were in the Sub-Saint Fortress. It turns out you were there to intimidate the dark race."
Seeing this, Elena immediately understood everything.
Why would an ordinary girl with no accomplishments and no talent receive such respectful treatment?
Why did Margaret appear in the Sub-Saint Fortress?
That way, everything makes sense.
The ten great artifacts of the human race, except for the [Gospel] in the hands of the Pope and the [Imperial Gem] worn by the Emperor, all have very strange tempers.
They recognize their master entirely based on their own feelings. If the feeling is not right, even a demigod will fail.
Once you feel it, even an ordinary person can do it.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if these guys can’t find a master they like, they will continue to sleep and will not wake up even for thousands or even millions of years.
Up to now, it is estimated that five or six of the ten great artifacts are still without owners.
This is also why Margaret has such a high status.
This is not an ordinary person, this is simply a human-shaped self-propelled nuclear bomb!
However, it is said that when a divine weapon recognizes its master, there will always be a price to pay. The girl in front of me...
Thinking of this, Elena couldn't help but look at Margaret with some worry.
Chapter 57: Thank you for your hard work for so long
"This bow has really brought so many changes to my life."
As if she didn't see Elina's eyes, Margaret walked onto a stone and turned the [Ice Rose] with supreme killing power with one hand.
Then step back, lunge, draw the bow and draw the arrow.
For a moment, all the ice elements in the air rushed towards the [Ice Rose] frantically, and soon, a solid arrow appeared in Margaret's hand.
The arrow carried a sharp murderous aura, and even someone as strong as Elena felt a tingling sensation on her skin. This was not an illusion, but a real touch.
The murderous aura brought by [Ice Rose] was actually able to affect the surroundings.
The severe wind pressure brought by the powerful magical turbulence made Margaret's robe rustle.
The long ice-blue hair was flying in the air, and Margaret was seen drawing her bow towards the sky. For a moment, a feeling of extreme danger came from her.
The feeling was exactly the same as when Elina first met Margaret in the Sub-Saint Fortress.
Looking at Margaret, who was as cold and murderous as a god of war, Elina really couldn't connect her with the weak, gentle little girl who always smiled wherever she went.
Elina knew very well that if Margaret released the arrow at this moment, a terrible attack would pierce the sky.
Similarly, wherever the arrow falls, there will be devastation.
"Whoosh."
Just when Elina was worried that Margaret would shoot the arrow, she released her strength.
In an instant, all the magic power, ice elements and murderous aura disappeared, as if they had never existed.
And the [Ice Rose] also returned to her previous harmless appearance. If Elina had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have associated the scene just now with this bow.
"It is because of this [Ice Rose] that I have the title of Duke and the position of director of Dunbaron Public College. Even the demigods look at me differently."
Margaret jumped off the stone and spoke softly but with a somewhat lost look on her face.
She just flipped her hand and [Ice Rose] disappeared immediately.
“Maybe I should really be grateful for it.”
Margaret looked up with a big smile on her face.
Looking at the smile on Margaret's face, Elena was silent for a while. She knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Margaret is just an ordinary person. If she wants to bear the price of having the artifact recognize her as its master, she must endure extremely horrible torture.
But she didn't say any of this, and just endured it silently by herself.
A picture slowly appeared in Alina's mind.
A girl who is only ten years old bears tremendous pressure every day, but she still faces everyone with a smile. All her actions are so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
For so many years, I may not even have said "thank you for your hard work" to her.
Looking at Elena who had been silent for a long time, Margaret's expression gradually became gloomy.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have said this out loud. If I didn't say it out loud, Elena would still be able to treat me as an ordinary person, instead of treating me as a weapon.
She should have expected this to happen, she should have expected it earlier.
But when this incident really happened in front of her, Margaret could no longer bear the sadness in her heart.
A feeling of loneliness permeated Margaret's heart, the loneliness of an inhuman being walking among a crowd.
Elina is her last and most important friend.
"Let's go, it's getting late now, we have to go back."
Margaret put on a forced smile, said something to Elena, and prepared to leave.
"Well, Margaret."
Just as Margaret turned around, Elena suddenly called her and pulled her over.
When she saw Margaret's slightly red eyes, Elena was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Um...well...thank you for taking so long."
In the end, I don’t know why, but the words "Thank you for your hard work" came out of my mouth.
After hearing what Elina said, Margaret was stunned for a moment, and then her face began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You, you, you, why did you suddenly say this?"
For a moment, Margaret was at a loss. Elena's words came so suddenly that she couldn't react for a while.
For such a long time, no one except the dean has ever said the four words "Thank you for your hard work" to her.
Over the years, what she heard most was praise, compliments and songs of praise for her.
But Margaret knew very well that all the praise and eulogy were not for her, but for the Ice Rose.
Those who treated her with great courtesy were only going for the artifact. They only saw her as a sharp weapon that could cause terrible damage to the dark race.
No one except the dean had ever treated Margaret Windsor as an independent person.
Only today, Elina's words "Thank you for your hard work" were truly spoken to her.
"Ah, well, I, I, I don't know why I said this, but I just wanted to say it."
Seeing Margaret looking a little uneasy, Elena also became flustered for a moment.
Her voice began to stutter, and her little hands, which had nowhere to put, fumbled around everywhere, as if she was trying hard to think of how to make way for this embarrassing situation.
Looking at Elina who didn't know what to do, Margaret suddenly burst out laughing.
"Thank you, Elena."
Margaret had a beautiful smile on her face and tilted her head slightly, looking so beautiful under the setting sun.
The gentle voice seemed to have a special charm, making Elina's ears feel numb.
This time, it was a real smile, a smile that came from Margaret's heart.
At this moment, Margaret truly opened her heart to Elena.
······
Outside the territory, in the third war zone, in the fortress of the San Bo Line of Defense, John Will, a fifth-year graduate of Dunbaron Public College, was sitting on the main seat with a bored look on his face.
As a top student at Dunbaron Public College and possessing brilliant-level strength, the Sub-Saint Fortress assigned him to serve as a garrison officer in the Saint Bo defense line.
John was very excited when he received this task.
Because it is very easy to gain military merit in the defense line of this extraterritorial war zone, and military merit can be exchanged for credits at a ratio of one to ten when returned to the academy.
There are also many people who envy him for getting such a lucrative job.
But things did not go as planned. When he arrived at the defense line, he discovered something very serious.
The security in this area is ridiculously good! ! !
John was wailing inwardly.
(The number of subscriptions has been declining in recent days, and has even reached the point where it has been cut in half. I am reflecting on whether there is a problem with the plot. Finally, I would like to ask all readers to report the problem and not disappear without a sound! Hey!)
Chapter 58: Damn you, Yas City!
"My Lord! My Lord! A team of dark races from next door has inexplicably run into our defense line!!"
Just as John was sitting in the main seat, bored and dazed, a scout rushed in from outside, crawling and tumbling.
Now when they see the dark race, it’s like seeing their relatives. That feeling of intimacy is no joke.
"Oh my god! We're finally getting some meat! Pass the order down, have everyone bring their weapons and equipment and follow me!"
Hearing the scout's report, John almost jumped up from his seat in excitement.
It has been three weeks since he was assigned to this damn place!
Do you know how he spent those three weeks?
Every day I can only stay in the fortress and count the birds flying in the sky!
If there was someone he could talk to, John would really like to ask:
"Have you ever counted the birds that fly over Fortress San Bo every day?"
He, John Will, was a fifth-year Glorious Swordsman at Dunbaron Public Academy. He had received systematic training at the academy and was much stronger than the ordinary Glorious Swordsmen.
He came here to accumulate military merits, not to just count birds and kill time!
Unfortunately, according to the soldiers in the fortress, since the previous garrison officer left office, they have never seen a team of dark race again. The originally arrogant and brutal dark race seemed to have disappeared in the entire Shengbo Fortress, without a trace.
Not to mention the newly appointed garrison officer, even those veteran soldiers who have been stationed in the Saint-Bo Fortress for many years have not earned any military merits for a long time.
So this time, the appearance of this small group of dark races directly ignited the passion of the entire Shengbo Fortress.
From the garrison officers to the soldiers, all of them were holding weapons and rushing towards the group of unfortunate people, howling.
······
"Captain Kyle, we have investigated clearly. It is indeed not the dark race from the Shengbo defense line, but from other defense lines. I don't know why they came here."
A fully armed scout came up to a middle-aged man and reported.
The equipment he wore was even more advanced than that of the soldiers in the Saint-Bo Fortress.
"Okay, I understand. Go down and inform our people to launch an attack when the enemy enters our ambush circle. Remember, capture a few alive."
Kyle put away the monocular, nodded, gave an order, and then waved his hand, indicating that the scout could go down.
"How dare you sneak into the Shengbo defense line? You are simply courting death."
Kyle whispered, his eyes fierce.
"Just a group of low-level soldiers? Not very interesting."
On a branch not far away, there was a girl in a red outfit. Her long hair, as hot as fire, was tied into a high ponytail and casually placed behind her.
