Ark pigeon mode, activated!

The White Lion Paladin is the supreme leader of Cuisi. In another country, he would be like a king. How could he ask for an audience so easily?!

Although they saw it, no one dared to imitate it.

Camilla is an unprecedented genius, but they are not.

Moreover, they had never heard of the term "sublimator".

Isfiel looked at the place where Camilla disappeared and smiled inexplicably.

I'm really looking forward to it...

……

Chapter 263: Blade Master Tower Listens to the Past

On the big clock tower in the central city of Kaporeba, Camilla lowered his eyes and looked down at the city.

Kaporeba does not allow any private construction of houses. Each urban area has been carefully calculated and all buildings are directly constructed by the foundry.

The neatly arranged houses form blocks, with occasional landmark buildings like clock towers standing tall. The bustling crowds of people and the constant flow of traffic show the prosperity of Kaporeba.

Camilla ignored all the pedestrians and carefully observed some traces between the blocks, those traces that looked like... spliced ​​connections.

There are obviously more structures beneath the surface, not just sewers or something like that.

Mobile city?

No! It might be even more exaggerated!

Camilla turned her head to look at the huge ball of light embedded in the ground, half exposed, one or two kilometers away.

A ball of light with a diameter of several hundred meters emitted a clear and soft white light, and then spread out into a large number of blood vessel-like structures, dispersing in all directions. Soon it disappeared into the void and could not be observed.

Feeling the energy fluctuations surging like the scorching sun at the core, Camilla knew that this was Caporeba's high-spiritual fission module. Currently, a small amount of power was activated to stably maintain the invisible shield and Caporeba's energy supply.

Camilla strongly suspected that when necessary, the entire city would quickly transform into a huge mobile fortress or even a space battleship with it as the core, and urgently carry all the people of Caporeba away!

As for combat effectiveness... I guess the Paladins don't count on it much.

After a brief thought, Camilla looked at the tall man who had appeared beside her out of nowhere.

Like many knights, his body under ordinary clothes is strong and sturdy, full of power, with brilliant golden hair casually draped, and his face, as straight and deep as a marble sculpture, has a unique majesty. Just being stared at by those emerald green eyes can make one feel the heavy pressure on the soul.

The White Lion Paladin, the leader and strongest of the Trois.

You don't need too many titles to feel his importance in Cuisi.

Camilla looked at him and then looked away.

It's not that he feels guilty, but he feels that the White Lion Paladin has the ability to read minds. Currently, he can read shallow thoughts just like an instinct. If he wants to, no one can keep any secrets in front of him.

The White Lion Paladin lowered his head and stared at the little boy in front of him. He was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke.

"A few years ago, your father and aunt came to Kaporeba. They were passing through here on their way to garrison at Silvermoon Fortress."

Camilla just listened and didn't answer.

Since the White Lion Paladin is not in a hurry to talk about the Ascendants, let's chat for a while.

"They said they didn't want you to embark on a spiritual path. The Stuart family has indeed declined, with so few descendants that they are almost extinct... In your heyday, you had five great knights."

The White Lion Paladin's words made Camilla raise her eyebrows in surprise.

The Stuart family only inherited the law, and they definitely haven't produced anyone above the level of a Grand Knight. However, it's quite outrageous that there are five Grand Knights in one family at the same time.

"And then? What happened?"

he asked.

"Then... the Great Spirit of Destiny invaded."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the White Lion Paladin.

There was not much to recall about the tragic past, but he did not mind talking about it with the younger generation.

"The Great Spirit of Fate was simply too powerful. We exhausted every possible means to defeat it, but we were unable to kill it. Ultimately... the four great knights of your Stuart family sacrificed themselves to maximize the power of the Northern Crown relic, passed down from generation to generation, and only then was it sealed."

Killing a Great Spirit is extremely difficult, let alone the strongest Great Spirit of Destiny...

"Only one of the five remains. No wonder it declined..."

Camilla whispered in an inexplicable tone.

The prosperity of a family depends not only on its strength but also on its population. It was probably after this battle that the population of the Stuart family began to decline sharply.

Moreover, the Northern Crown relic used to seal the Great Spirit of Destiny is most likely the key treasure used by the Stuart family to comprehend the law of sealing. Now it has completely disappeared, which should have a significant impact on the strength improvement of the Stuart family knights.

"The remaining one also died a year later."

The White Lion Paladin added.

"Um!?"

Camilla didn't know what to say for a moment.

People keep dying and the birth rate is low. It's really hard to bear.

After thinking about it, he asked.

"What happened next?"

"That battle shattered the western lands. What consequences do you think will follow?"

The White Lion Paladin asked back.

Camilla was silent for a moment, then replied with a slight sigh.

"The Great Famine..."

Before the West was broken, it was the granary of the Cuisi Empire. The vast plains were extremely fertile. After the grain produced was supplied to the whole country, there was still a large surplus. Other places could not compare with it. After a series of struggles such as price wars, it was defeated long ago. Therefore, once there was a problem in the West, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Many of the plains suitable for production in Cuis now were later transformed by the paladins.

They learned farming knowledge, improved crops, built transportation networks, and bit by bit rebuilt the devastated Cuisi into what it is today...

Camilla could probably guess how the last great knight of Stuart died in that era, and the root of the irreconcilable conflict between Ques and Yongguyue. Everything happened in that era...

Strength cannot be directly converted into food. The Paladins should have tried to ask Yongguyue for help at that time. As for the result... the White Lion Paladin cut open the continent, created a natural barrier, and never had any contact with each other until he died.

Next, if you want to hold on, there is another way - the Great Spirit's followers!

The Great Spirit's followers were huge in size, and it was easy to use them to gather enough food. The only problem was... the meat of the Great Spirit's followers was inedible.

And Camilla has always known how to solve this problem.

The Law of Sealing and the Law of Purifying Light can both resolve the chaotic will in the flesh and blood of the Great Spirit's followers, turning them into edible flesh and blood.

He had tried it a little when he was bored and was very clear about it.

The special relationship between the Stuarts and the Moravians must have been established at that time...

Camilla was silent, feeling a little heavy.

"Knights of the Stuart family generally don't participate in knightly competitions, and there's no need for you to do so. Once you become a formal knight, the Foundry will prepare suitable steam armor for you. This is what you deserve, but you're welcome to participate if you want..."

The White Lion Paladin whispered.

The Stuart family used to keep a steam armor because they had no use for it.

At this moment, Camilla suddenly raised her head, looked directly into his emerald green eyes that could see through people's hearts, and asked seriously.

"Do you have any way to fight the Ascendant?"

After a brief silence, the White Lion Paladin nodded in response.

"Have."

"!?"

……

Chapter 264: Preparations for the Blade Master Tower

Camilla was indeed shocked by the White Lion Paladin's answer.

The White Lion Paladin had only broken through the limits of the Paladin and reached a new realm. He was still a long way from becoming an Ascendant. How could he fight back?!

This should be an important secret of the White Lion Paladin, but Camilla still had to ask.

"What's your confidence in fighting the Ascendants...?"

The White Lion Paladin pointed downwards and spoke softly.

"This is no secret among the Paladins and the Great Spirits. I possess the weapon of the Evil Alliance, the Fourth Lord of the Northern Crown!"

Camilla looked in the direction he pointed, but naturally saw nothing.

However, he realized that the current Caporeba was probably built on that weapon!

This is much more powerful than any space battleship!

The seven great masters of the Northern Crown are all top-notch Ascendants who possess all three elements of eternity. If the White Lion Paladin really possesses one of their weapons, it is possible for him to fight against an Ascendant who only possesses one element of eternity!

however……

"The consequences will be serious..."

"It's extremely serious. While a first-level Paladin battle can indeed cause immense damage, it's essentially impossible to shatter the Western Land without deliberate targeting. That was the result of me using the Fourth Seat's weapon."

The White Lion Paladin said calmly.

If he was not forced into a desperate situation, it would be almost impossible for him to use the weapons of the Fourth Seat to fight.

Of course, this refers to using all your strength. It is still okay to use only a small part of the power.

If the opponent is an ascender, it is impossible to hold back, and the consequences... may not be as simple as completely destroying Cui Si!

"You are asking these questions. Is there anyone who is going to become an Ascendant?"

"It is an avatar of an ascended being cast into this world. It carries no eternal elements, but who knows if it is possible to recreate the power of the ascended being..."

Camilla didn't know much about the Dark Serpent, but he was sure that the Dark Serpent would not mind destroying the world while attacking him.

The sick girl, the descendant of a bloodline with extraordinary talent, was simply discarded as material for studying other eternal elements. Would she care about the living beings in this world?

Don't expect the strong to have mercy.

"Since using the Fourth Chief's weapon would bring unbearable consequences, then... leave everything that follows to me... All you need to do is trust me..."

He stared at Caporeba, his cold eyes reflecting the shadows of the clouds and the sky, the city's towering buildings, and the body of the great stone spirit in the distance, casting a huge shadow like a huge mountain range.

The White Lion Paladin said nothing, just staring at the scenery together.

He was at the peak of his powers, and if he hadn't fought, it would have been easy for him to live for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

But as times change and people grow up, someone will eventually come to his side and even take his place.

So...let it go.

The worst that could happen is... we'd end up together.

……

The Grips Arena in the north of Kapoleiba is the venue for the annual knight competition.

The circular open-air arena can accommodate millions of spectators to watch the game together, and the center uses special space expansion technology to construct a battle field with a diameter of five kilometers. The terrain can be adjusted to fully meet the combat needs of formal knights, and the protection strength of the field is enough to resist attacks from hidden entities.

As the knight competition approached, knights who passed the preliminary rounds from various counties arrived from all over the country and were arranged to stay in the mansion near the Colosseum.

Some familiar knights would travel together, exchange information, and observe the customs and culture of Caporeba, while more would gather their strength and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Tess followed the team, looking at the city she had visited once with complicated eyes.

She was not strong enough and was sent by the two kings of Yongguyue only as a guide. The others were responsible for participating in the knight competition.

The situation in Yongguyue is becoming increasingly severe. A large number of civilians have been transformed into so-called new humans by the Church of the Three Gods. The two kings suddenly fell into a slump in the battle with the Black Crown and are finding it increasingly difficult to sustain. They need to transfer the population as soon as possible.

And this requires at least a top-three ranking in the Knights competition.

Her eyes couldn't help but sweep over several people in the team.

Apart from her, everyone in the group was middle-aged or elderly, like an elderly tour group, and they were actually strolling around and enjoying the scenery.

The main knights participating in the Cuisi Knight Competition are all middle-aged, powerful, and high-spirited, with the potential for promotion.
