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

It's like struggling in vain in a quagmire, the spirit and body are completely consumed by despair, and in the end all that's left is collapse and chaos.

And the process of gradual decay is what we should fear the most and is the most torturous.

Some say that death is gentle and does not bring pain.

But in fact, death is not gentle at all. On the contrary, there is only endless darkness and loneliness.

But it’s the same with life.

No matter how connected you appear to be, you are actually lonely.

So, because of this, he cherishes the people around him even more.

His words moved Lani a little. She flashed from his shoulder to his arms, stretched out her little hand and gently hugged his index finger.

Bringing him some of the warmth of the dark moon, she whispered softly:

"Ah, do not be afraid, and do not be terrified... You are my king, my eternal king. I will always be by your side, even to the end of the world... My dear king."

And she turned her head and looked at the bright yet dangerous starry sky with him.

Someone once said that a person will always meet two people in his life, one who amazes the time and the other who softens the years.

Indeed, Reinhardt did meet these two people.

But to him, no matter it is Lani who amazed the time, Melina who softened the years, or Gu Long who was sometimes strong and sometimes gentle, or Fia and Aliana who were considerate... they are all equally important and an indispensable part of life. It is because of them that life has become so wonderful.

216. Monarch of Stonewell City (4.5K)

After staying in Kalia Castle for a few days, he set out on his journey again.

Lani has left temporarily and returned to the night sky with stars and full moon to perfect her own laws. She accepted Reinhardt's proposal and planned to demonstrate their laws together with Reinhardt.

At the same time, Kalia also calmed down and entered a stage of orderly reconstruction and repair.

As for the fact that he became the husband of King Kalia, it also spread.

Some people are in favor, and naturally some are against it.

For example, the old-fashioned Bols was very opposed to it, thinking it was disrespectful and presumptuous. How could a knight marry the Queen of Kalia, the Moon Princess, Her Highness Lani?

What's more, there is the example of Radagon, so Bols is even more opposed.

I was afraid that Reinhardt would hurt Lani like Radagon did.

However, no matter how much he opposed it, Bols could do nothing and could not change Lani's mind.

In addition, because the defense of Kalia had the support of the Magic Academy, the situation between the two sides was eased a lot and the relationship between them deepened a lot.

It was as if we had returned to the era when the stars and the moon coexisted peacefully under the rule of Queen Reinara of Kalia.

But this time, peace is truly here, and there are no longer the undercurrents like before.

He did meet Teacher Se Lian, the leader of the academy, and the two ancient dragon lolis.

The two ancient dragon lolis didn't say anything when they saw him. They were still as quiet as usual when outside. They just praised him a little, saying that he had become stronger and the law was gradually becoming complete.

Those two pairs of golden dragon eyes reflected his figure and seemed to see through his inner self.

It seemed as if he had no secrets at all in front of them.

As for Teacher Se Lian, he gave him a meaningful sentence:

"...Disciple, congratulations on finally fulfilling your long-cherished wish."

Originally, this sentence meant nothing, but when the teacher looked at the Darkmoon Greatsword on his back and the petite Lani doll hanging around his waist, it was very unforgettable.

There was something else in that look.

Finally, he left him a message, asking him to remember to come back to the college when he was done, as the research project on life had reached its end and needed his help to complete it.

He was still puzzled as to what the meaning of this was.

But I did think of some things, but after thinking about them carefully, I shook my head and put them out of my mind.

How can it be?

That was the witch Seren, the great witch who was the most meticulous in her research topics. How could she possibly have imagined such an erotic scene?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

By the way, it is worth mentioning that Mugram, who was responsible for guarding the way to the Great Library, has returned to the royal family of Kalia with the arrival of Seren, returned to the seat of the Kalia Knight, and helped rebuild the royal territory.

And old man Iggy, who was responsible for finding Blaze, also returned to the city with Blaze.

It's just that Mr. Iggy was injured, with a hideous scar on his arm and chest respectively, and Blaze also wore a mirror helmet with a guilty look.

Although no one said or asked anything, it was clear what had happened.

For this reason, Lani told Blaze not to worry about it, and Iggy had the same idea.

Only Blaze himself felt very guilty about this and worked extra hard.

I was supposed to face that darkness with Lani, but in the end I almost became Lani's enemy...

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

The golden tree's blessing shines like the sun on the borderland.

“It’s almost there, it’s almost there…”

Looking at the dazzling golden tree in the distance, Reinhardt murmured softly and rode on his calf horse Torret towards the Perum Avenue on the east coast of Lienia.

Melina had been picked up from the magic academy, and he felt that he should make a plan for the upcoming journey.

There are many things to do when you go to Yatan Plateau.

For example, you have to make a decision whether to go to the Royal City of Rodel or Mount Miguel.

The volcanic mansion on Mount Miguel is home to the rebels and the [Justice Officer] Lakkad who has merged with the God-Eating Serpent, while the Royal City of Rodel is ruled by the [King of Blessing] Mungat, and Marika's gift is also found underground in the royal city and inside the golden tree.

After reaching the Royal City of Rodel, one must go to the Snow Mountain and the Holy Snowfield. One is the way to reach the cauldron guarded by the fire giant, and the other is the only way to reach the Ceremonial Town and the Holy Tree.

"This is really troublesome..."

Reinhardt felt a headache when he thought of so many things. The most important thing was that the journey between him and Melina was getting shorter and shorter.

It seems that it won't be long before Melina meets her destiny and fulfills her mission...

Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily fell on the little wood riding on another horse, but he found that her eyes were very strange.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Melina withdrew her gaze from his waist and shook her head gently, "...No, it's nothing."

It was still the same nonchalant answer, but Melina's behavior just now didn't seem like nothing was wrong.

Melina has been like this in recent days, always inexplicably dazed, and most of the time it's on him.

But no answer was given.

The most important thing is that there are very few emotional fluctuations on Melina's face, which makes him completely unaware of what Melina is thinking.

Is it because of the doll that Lani gave me?

He suddenly thought of this, because on his belt, besides the leather bag, there was only the figurine given to him by his wife Lani.

But it shouldn't be possible...

If you really want to see it, wouldn't it be better and clearer to just borrow it from him?

"...Rhine, someone is coming."

At Melina's sudden reminder, a group of people were seen walking towards them from the other direction of Perum Avenue.

The two leaders, one was wearing elegant silk aristocratic clothing, and the other was wearing armor and looked like a warrior.

They were accompanied by a handful of soldiers and knights as guards.

But the soldier looked familiar.

"Edgar?!"

After a closer look, he recognized the man. It was Irena's father, Edgar, the lord of Morn City in the south of the Weeping Peninsula.

But how did this guy get here?

And it looks like it's coming towards me?

Under his puzzled gaze, Eggard also noticed him and his face suddenly lit up with joy. He immediately jumped off the horse and rushed over here with the blond man beside him.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I last saw you, Your Excellency Rhine. I never expected to see you here. It's really great."

"Ah, it's been a long time indeed, Mr. Eggard."

Seeing the arrival of an old acquaintance, he also took off his tortoise and greeted the other party with a warm look.

"Mr. Edgar, how are you and your daughter, Miss Irena, doing recently?"

"Well, thanks to you, my daughter Irena has been doing well recently. She often misses you and hopes you can go visit her."

"I see... But I'm sorry, I'll have to wait until I have another chance. I've been a little busy lately."

Irena, to be honest, he really wants to go and see it.

See what life is like without Irena as the Mad Fire Witch.

But speaking of the Mad Fire Witch, whose family was that woman I met before?

"Don't say that, Your Excellency Rhine. That was just my daughter's willful request. You don't need to pay attention to it. Without your help, I'm afraid my daughter and I wouldn't have survived the rebellion of those hybrids..."

Moreover, I have heard a lot about your recent deeds. First, you defeated the strongest demigod, Latarn, at the Red Lion Festival, and then became the consort of Kalia..."

It was as if Egged had opened a box of chatterboxes, recounting some of the things he had done recently.

Reinhardt just maintained a polite smile in response to these things.

And feel puzzled.

How did the news spread so quickly?

Obviously, some small things should not be known by others.

However, the young nobleman following Egged caught his attention. He kept a seemingly arrogant expression on his face and also listened to these stories, but his eyes were full of scrutiny.

He was muttering something like 'So it's a Fader...'

Fortunately, there was no trace of contempt in the other person's eyes.

"Mr. Edgar, who is this person next to you...?"

Hearing his question, Edgar stopped talking immediately and said with a silly smile: "Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little excited for a moment and forgot to introduce this person to you. This is..."

"Kenneth Hyde," the blond nobleman said, taking over Edgar's words. He placed a hand on his chest and introduced himself. "My name is Kenneth Hyde. I'm the eldest son of Lord Nimgerfu and the lord of Hyde Fortress."

There was no trace of humility in his tone, only arrogance.

That's quite a high-profile self-introduction...

But Kenneth Hyde, hearing the name brought back many memories.

This guy is one of the rare good people in this small piece of land. Although he is arrogant and even a little bit arrogant, he is also conscientious and dedicated to his duties. He devotes everything he has to the land of Nimgfu.

The most important thing is that this guy is also very funny. He actually knighted the King of Elden.

However, when this man came here, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of these two people's visit.

"Mr. Reinhardt, it looks like you're planning to head to the Yatan Plateau, but could I please give you a break before that?"

Edgar requested sincerely, and since he had no reason to refuse, he forced himself to nod and said, "No problem."

"Thank you, Lord Rhine, for your tolerance." Edgar bowed deeply to him.

Whether as the former lord of Moren City or currently managing the fortress together with Kenneth Hyde, it was natural for him to observe such etiquette when meeting with Prince Kalia. However, Edgar's next words surprised Kenneth.

"Your Excellency Rhine, I wonder if you are interested in becoming the monarch of Stonewell City and governing Nimgerfu?"

"..."

"Please wait a moment!"

Before he could answer, Kenneth interrupted their conversation excitedly and asked Edgar, "Lord Edgar, what do you mean by this?"
