People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

But she still looked at him seriously and said seriously: "Lord Rhine, please allow Aliana to reject your proposal. This time, no matter what, Aliana will accompany you to participate in the Red Lion Battle Festival."

"A thousand years ago, Ariana didn't stay with you until the end... Now, a thousand years later, Ariana doesn't want to repeat the same mistake again. I hope to stay by your side until the end. Please agree to Ariana's willful request."

Ariana's words were powerful.

This was the first time that the maid who usually obeyed his orders contradicted him.

But he couldn't help laughing.

"Ariana, why do I feel like I'm bound to lose this time fighting Latarn at the Red Lion Festival?"

Ariana did not respond to his question. Instead, she stood up from her seat, hurried to his front, looked at him seriously, and repeated: "...Please allow me!"

"...Don't get so excited, I promise you."

Under such rare high-pressure attitude and strong coercion, even he could not bear it and could not find a suitable reason to refuse for a while.

So I agreed.

but......

Women are really scary.

Even if you have enough power to destroy the world, you still can't withstand the power of a woman.

Unless your heart is hard, the kind made of molten iron.

"Thank you, Lord Rhine."

After he agreed, Ariana changed her serious attitude and turned into a smiling face, as if the brilliance of the golden tree was somewhat dimmed in front of her.

"Lord Rhine, please allow Aliana to overstep her bounds..."

"?"

He heard Ariana's soft murmur, and before he could react he felt his mouth being blocked.

Ariana suddenly leaned over and kissed him.

A sudden kiss, catching you off guard!

The slightly widened eyes were filled with surprise, and the mind suddenly became blank. The furnishings in the room and the intoxicating blush on the fair cheek were reflected in the dull and frozen pupils.

The softness and warmth from his lips were so real, the unique feminine fragrance made his heart beat faster. He could vaguely hear the surging beating in his chest, and the burning emotions flooded every corner of his heart like a tide.

He felt his body getting a little hot, as if the magic power of the sun was boiling.

This is indeed the case. He is now like a furnace, and the temperature in the room seems to be rising rapidly under his influence.

But Ariana felt nothing about it.

Her eyelids were slightly drooped, and her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, as if revealing her nervous and uneasy heart.

She stretched out her soft hands to cup his cheeks, and her fresh red lips that had never been tasted by anyone were lightly pressed against his. The breath she exhaled was extremely hot, as if she was being burned by fire.

The round and full peaks gently pressed against his chest, as if to arouse the most primitive desire in his heart.

However, her kiss was not very passionate, but rather thin, with only the contact between the lips.

Although she looked so charming in person, after a night of sublimation, her every move revealed a natural sense of temptation.

But her experience in this area seemed to be seriously insufficient. Even her hands holding Reinhardt's cheeks became stiff during the kiss, and her disordered breathing revealed a slight sense of immaturity.

But come to think of it, when was the last time you kissed?

Ah, it seems to be during the Broken War? In the dream, Marika gave herself a farewell kiss.

Unlike Malika's kiss, which was as intoxicating as aged red wine, Ariana's kiss was as sweet as candy and had the fragrance of flowers.

During the long kiss, his breathing gradually became rapid, and the plucked heartstrings deep in his heart spread out like ripples on a guitar, and his inner instincts were gradually awakened.

But he had no intention of reaching out to do anything, even though the fire of desire in his heart was already burning.

Just quietly enjoying the kiss from Ariana.

After a long time, Ariana raised her body and opened her misty amber eyes, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ariana."

She tied up her drooping hair and managed to maintain an elegant smile, but her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was escaping.

"Ah, it's okay, nothing..."

Reinhardt seemed to still be in a trance, responding subconsciously and quietly savoring the taste.

Ariana took quick steps and returned to her seat.

Although her eyes were filled with shyness, Ariana felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Everything she wanted to do and say was finally done and said in one breath after she reunited with Lord Rhine.

However, as a result of this, Reinhardt was now in an awkward position.

"Ariana, your kissing skills are still a little raw. You need to improve them." He said teasingly.

Now all he could do was cover up the embarrassment with a cynical attitude.

And so, the breakfast ended in an awkward atmosphere like that of a newlywed couple.

-------------------------------------

Sunset and moonrise.

The golden tree retracted its light, and night fell again at the border.

However, tonight will not be as peaceful as usual.

Heads of people were rushing towards the towering Red Lion City at the end of the Unbroken Bridge. Some of them were going to challenge Latarn to obtain the proof of becoming king - the fragment of Elden's Ring.

Some challenged the most powerful demigod in order to hone their skills.

But more importantly, they wanted to catch a glimpse of the most powerful demigod.

Reinhardt, led by Blaze and Ariana, was walking towards Red Lion City with the crowd.

Melina and the others naturally followed along.

However, the expressions of several people were different.

Melina still looked calm and composed, even when she was about to go to war with the strongest demigod [Star Crusher General] Ratan.

He just reminded him to be more careful on the way, and told him not to confuse Greg with the strongest demigod Latan.

Although it was a rare bit nagging, he still found it quite useful.

Millicent's face was serious and nervous, and even her left hand holding the sword became wet as she approached the red lion.

Stepping into the demigod battlefield and facing the power of the demigods, is this really something she can do?

Her inner anxiety was obvious, but she never stopped and followed Reinhardt closely.

As for Ashmi's slime, Reinhardt said he didn't want to mention it anymore.

Since I saw this woman again, the smile on my face has never stopped!

She tilted her head slightly, her long silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, swaying slightly with her steps. She stood with her hands behind her back, smiling at him with that beautiful face that could charm thousands of faded people.

And I've watched it all the way!

I always feel that the slime's smile is a bit malicious, as if it knew some secret of his.

In addition, there was an unexpected visitor in their team.

He was wearing the armor of a noble knight, with a tattered holy tree cloak fluttering in the evening breeze. The sickle, spear in his hand and the sword at his waist were all polished to a shine.

The steps are somewhat vigorous.

Although she is a woman, her heroic spirit and captivating fighting spirit cannot be concealed at all.

She was none other than Fenlei, Fen Zilong, the commander of the noble knights who was supposed to be at the Holy Tree, and who had once carried Marennia across the border.

What was unexpected was that she also participated in this battle festival, and it was because she discovered the shortcomings of her own strength in that broken war, and came to challenge Latan to hone her skills.

And this grinding process lasts for thousands of years.

Ever since she carried Marennia back to the sacred tree, she has returned here and participated in every Red Lion Battle Festival.

He is also one of the survivors who survived every festival.

Not only that, she also threatened to defeat Latan head-on in order to restore Marennia's invincible glory.

To be honest, he didn't understand.

It would be fine if Marennia showed up here, but for Finlay to come and challenge her is a bit... overestimating his own abilities.

You are just an ordinary person, why would you compete with a demigod who is your in-law and has the blood of Marika and Lenara?

If you can defeat him, can you still be called the strongest demigod?

After all, humans have their limits, and demigods are the gap that humans cannot cross even if they reach their limits. Even someone like Greg can kill a large group of Faded Ones, not to mention Latan who can shatter the laws of the flow of the starry sky.

As for how they met.

Of course, it was because Millicent looked too similar to Marennia, so he followed Millicent to find himself.

"...Lord Rhine, please tell me, who is Miss Millicent?"

"Well, I don't know the relationship between Millicent and that person either. Perhaps the mystery will be revealed in the near future."

Reinhardt gave Finlay a mysterious smile as he asked the question.

Along the way, Finlay had tried every possible way to find out about Millicent from him.

But he always gave such ambiguous answers.

What's the point of such an interesting thing if the answer is not revealed at the end?

"Welcome, warriors!"

Suddenly, such a voice came from the city wall.

Standing on the high platform, the [Strange Knight] Jeremiah is shouting to the people gathered in the square of Red Lion City. Beside Jeremiah is a tall and mighty figure with his strong arms wrapped around his chest and two huge star-breaking swords on his back.

It is like a giant standing upright, standing there majestically and magnificently.

In front of him, the people below the city looked so small.

"It's been a long time since we last met, General Latarn..."

Staring at the figure, he muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

However, perhaps because he sensed his whispers, Latan suddenly turned his head, swept his gaze across the vast crowd and locked onto him, his golden eyes flashing with a strange light, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his dark face.

That look seemed to tell him—

"You finally came."

And he responded to Latan with the same look.

The two looked at each other for a long time, as if communicating with their eyes.

I don’t know if it was because Jeremiah had finished his speech or what, but Latarn was the first to look away.

As if to give a warning to the challengers gathered in the square, he suddenly condensed a huge gravity magic, and purple electric light suddenly flashed on his body.

With a loud bang, he suddenly jumped up from the city wall.

With the arrival of the strong earthquake, Latan's figure disappeared.

A purple meteor appeared in the sky and slammed heavily into the Weeping Sand Dunes behind the Red Lion City, raising a wave of sand.

And Latan's figure also appeared again.

The two star-breaking swords behind him were already stuck in the ground, waiting for the arrival of the challengers.

However, such deterrence did not make the challengers retreat, but instead made them even more excited.

The battle ceremony is to offer a glorious battle to [Star Shattering General] Latan and end his fate here.

The same is true for the heroes gathered here, all of whom gathered here with the intention of killing Latarn.

He hopes to surpass General Ratan, who is known as the "Strongest Demigod", with his own strength.

"Oh, you're here too!"

Suddenly, a powerful voice was heard from the crowd.

Looking around, he saw a creature that looked like a large pot pushing through the crowd and slowly walking towards him, with a familiar guy beside him.
