The emperor has all expressed his position, what else can Saint Calia, the perfect sword as a courtier, say? He can't always say the emperor directly in front of so many people, right?
In desperation, in the end, Kalia could only bite the bullet and agree to send 500 champion knights to let them take off their glorious champion armor and replace them with the armor of ordinary garrisons to fight.
Although such a sneaky thing is very inconsistent with the knightly creed that Perfect Sword Saint Calia has always followed, fortunately, this time is not a bad thing after all. Eliminating those bandits entrenched on the frontiers of the empire and avenging their dead comrades is also an honorable task, not too aggrieved by the prestige of the Champion Knights.
In addition, the emperor does have difficulties, in that kind of place, if thousands of people are mobilized to kill the past, the military expenses back and forth are tens of thousands of gold coins, and if something happens again and again, then the fun will be great. He had to be laughed to death by the surrounding principalities, and the emperor couldn't afford to lose this person, so he had to use the trump card force of the Champion Knights. If it weren't for these considerations, with the temper of the Perfect Sword Saint Calia, he would definitely not have agreed to it.
So, this matter was so decided, the fat man was anxious, but his face did not come out, still a harmless look with a smile, but when the meeting was over, he ran to the old mage anxiously, carefully explained the matter, and then said nervously: "Grandpa, the Knights of the Champions are not easy to mess with, did you tell little Stephen to evacuate that quickly, don't toss anymore!" "
"Alas!" The old mage smiled bitterly and sighed, "You're wrong, it's not Little Stephen who should worry now, but the troops of the Champion Knights!" Why did the emperor send them out? Isn't this sheep in the mouth of the tiger? "
"Huh?" When the fat man heard this, he was immediately stupid and hurriedly said, "Isn't it." Can little Stephen still get 500 knights of the Champion Order? Have you forgotten that Sven's group of barbarians is gone? "
"It's not!" The old mage shook his head and said, "With or without Sven, they are all the same, little Stephen can completely destroy the lone Champion Knights with just the strength of Fort Intrepid!" Alas. It seems that I have to persuade him well with this old face, and I can't let him move the Champion Knights, that's the empire **! "
"Isn't it, that kid is already so perverted?" The fat man was immediately a little dumbfounded.
"You just know?" The old mage shook his head helplessly. Then he said: "Okay, you don't care about this matter, I'll deal with it!" "
"Yes!" The fat man hurriedly agreed, and then quickly took his leave.
After sending off the fat man, the old mage did not dare to delay, hurriedly went to the castle to find the old evil who was teaching the elves, and took him to a quiet place, saying, "The latest news." The Empire is going to send out the most elite Champion Knights to wipe you out, and it will arrive in about 2 months! "
"Knights of Champions?" After all, the old evil has been here for more than ten years, and he is also familiar with the situation here, naturally knowing this well-known army, after all, this is the army of the town country known as the griffin kingdom!
He was also stunned when he heard that he had provoked this troop. Then he couldn't help but say strangely: "As for? Call the Knights of Champions to the Great Gobi to suppress bandits? Can the Perfect Sword Santa Calia promise? "
His Majesty the Emperor personally spoke. Didn't he promise to do it? The old mage gave him a blank look, and then said, "As for the reason for dispatching them, it is even simpler. You also don't want to think about it, you kid killed 200 border guards in one go, can you not be annoyed above? Don't think that you can't get a big army in this broken place, this is not, now people simply play big. The Knights of the Champions were dispatched. How do you say? "
"How many people came?" The old evil said a little weakly. After all, the Knights of Champions are prestigious. He is arrogant and has a limit, knowing that he will definitely not be able to do more than two thousand champion knights. So the tone also softened.
However, as soon as the old mage then said that only 500 people came, the old evil suddenly became arrogant again, and immediately said with disdain: "Hey, I thought how many people came, only 500?" Not enough for me to clean up! "
"You me!" The old mage was anxious when he heard this, and directly scolded: "I can allow you to fool around, but there must be a limit to fooling around?" The Knights of Champions are the cornerstone of the kingdom, if you dare to touch a single hair of them, be careful that I and you are not finished! "
"Hey, can you be reasonable, now they are coming to me for trouble?" The old evil immediately said dissatisfied.
"Less, when did the Stephen family people make sense? If you kid were to make sense, would he rob the Augustus family's shop for no reason? The old mage pouted disdainfully, and then said: "Our family only recognizes strength, now you can't beat me, you must listen to me, in short, even if you give up everything here, I won't allow you to move the Champion Knights!" As for the rest, I don't care! "
"Haha!" The old evil was happy when he heard it, because this word was the most appetizing to him, so he directly laughed and said: "Okay, you are now a strength cow, I listen to you, I can not move this champion knight, but I have conditions!" "
"What conditions? Tell me about it! The old mage said.
"I want refined iron, 100,000 catties, you transport it from the back for me!" The old evil laughed.
"Depend, I can give you 100,000 catties of refined iron, but from the imperial capital to use the teleportation array to transport this thing, do you know how many gold coins of magic stones you have to consume?" The old mage couldn't help but shout: "Besides, you are about to be wiped out by the Champion Knights here, what else do you want to do with refined iron?" Give them as trophies? "
"I'm useful for fine iron, as for the Champion Knights, you don't have to worry, I promise to let them retreat helplessly!" The old evil laughed.
"You have the skills?" The old mage couldn't help but say strangely: "I can tell you, this champion knight is not the rabble under Tianfeng Shiro. In addition to their strength and equipment, the most terrifying thing is their tacit cooperation and fearless sacrifice, and many powerful legions have lost to these knights who can die willingly for honor. Let's just say that the champion knights led by Perfect Sword Saint Calia can definitely fight with Sven and his berserkers, and you must not underestimate them! "
"As long as this time is not the Perfect Sword Saint Calia personally leading the team, I naturally have a way to force them away without harming them!" The old evil said with a smile.
"Of course, Kalia will not go out in person, after all, you are just a bandit who has just appeared, and you are not qualified to alarm a sword saint like him." The old mage said, "However, if you can really force them back safely, then I will suffer a loss, and turn around and ask the caravan at the family border to send you 100,000 catties of fine iron!" "
The old evil knew that he was reluctant to pay those freight, but since he could get the fine iron, he didn't care how it came about, anyway, he still had the stock in his hand now, and it didn't matter later. So he agreed: "Okay, one word is a decision!" "
"Yes!" The old mage nodded, and was just about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the old evil and said, "Wait a minute, you come here!" "
Saying that, he took the old mage to the square, and then pointed to the statue of the goddess in the square, "Look, this statue is not very familiar!" "
"Ugh!" When the old mage saw it, he suddenly remembered it, and hurriedly said, "Isn't this exactly the same as that Mithril sculpture?" I said why did it feel familiar when I looked at the sculpture, but the problem turned out to be here? Strange, why are these two sculptures the same? "
"You ask me? Who do I ask? The old evil said angrily, "It seems that you are the one who should answer this question, right?" Didn't you say last time you looked up the information? What did you find? "
"I only found out that this sculpture is the statue of the goddess of the elves, the ancestor of the star elves, and according to records, almost all the temples of the elves will enshrine her statue, but the shape of the statue in each temple is different. The statue of the day elf shows the goddess moving during the day, the moon elf is the goddess moving at night, and as for the star elf, it seems that there are all the time, anyway, it is very mixed. But one thing I find strange is that in my information, there are at least hundreds of statues of goddesses enshrined by the star elves, but none of them are the same as the Mithril statue. I thought my familiarity was an illusion, but I didn't expect to find the source of familiarity here. "
"If that's the case, then I think there might be some kind of connection between them!" The old evil guessed.
"I feel the same!" The old mage also said.
"Then let's go check and check!" The old evil said, and took the old mage to the pool in the center of the square.
In the past, looking at it from a distance, the old evil had not yet discovered what was in this statue, but now that he walked in and looked carefully, he was surprised to find that this statue was big. The height of tens of meters is really not a joke, or the burly figure of the old evil standing in front of this sculpture is as small as an ant, so that the old evil has to raise his head high to barely look at the upper body of the sculpture.
