Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Page 82

Freya smiled gently at Kyar.

Putting everything else aside, Freya's saintly smile is indeed very bewitching, especially for innocent young men like Kyar from the countryside, who are completely captivated by her.

"Then, please take good care of me, Your Highness!"

"Kyar said in a low voice."

"You don't need to use honorifics with me. After all, we are both heroes and have equal status. Just call me by my name."

Seeing the shy expression on Kjaer's face, Freya continued to use her acting talent to get closer to Kjaer.

"Okay, okay, Freya!"

Kyar dared not look Freya in the eye and stammered as he spoke.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if there were an Oscar in this world, I wouldn't recognize anyone but you as the recipient!"

Watching Freya quickly captivate Kyar, Liu Tianyu, who was not far away, clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Lord Stormwind, I have completed my mission. Now please summon your soldiers. I will use a teleportation spell to move everyone to the vicinity of the royal city of Geolar."

"The royal city of Gioral is several days' journey from Albon village. I need to introduce Kjaer and you to my father as soon as possible."

Seeing that she had completed her mission, Freya was clearly in a good mood and said to Liu Tianyu.

"Your Highness Freya, my soldiers are assembled. Please cast the teleportation spell now!"

Liu Tianyu counted the soldiers around him and responded to Freya.

"Um? Excuse my intrusion, but where is your mount?"

Kofreya quickly noticed the blind spot: why wasn't Liu Tianyu riding a horse? It couldn't be that he didn't know how to ride, could it? But his riding posture just now was absolutely perfect!

Seeing Freya's puzzled look, Liu Tianyu explained mysteriously:

"Hehe, Princess Freya, my mount is a little special. If I were to summon it, it would probably increase your magic consumption and might even cause some panic."

"In that case, it wouldn't be too late for me to summon it after your transfer magic is finished!"

Looking at Liu Tianyu, who was acting mysteriously, Freya narrowed her beautiful emerald eyes slightly and said nothing. She simply raised a simple-looking stick with a gemstone larger than a bull's eye in her hand.

"The Staff of Vanargand is a divine weapon unique to the heroes of the Kingdom of Geolar. In the game, it is an orange-tier weapon that can be transformed into a god-level weapon through a contract."

Liu Tianyu, with his right eye now emerald, scrutinized the magic wand Freya had pulled out. He was quite interested, but unfortunately, divine weapons harbored so-called weapon spirits that could only form contracts with heroes.

"I wonder if, after I get a divine weapon, the system will let me use it and experience being a hero."

Unbeknownst to Freya, Liu Tianyu had already set his sights on her divine armor and weapons—no, it would be more accurate to say that he had his eyes on all of them.

"Fifth-tier magic, Teleportation!"

Freya simply uttered the name of the transfer magic, and the gem on the staff Vanargand instantly shone.

Immediately afterwards, with Freya as the center, her troops and Liu Tianyu's troops were enveloped in it. Then, with a flash of purple light, hundreds of people disappeared on the spot.

…………

"Shhhhh..."

About 3 kilometers from the royal city of Gioral, hundreds of people appeared silently on the paved and orderly stone road.

"It's incredible! Teleporting hundreds of people directly to a point thousands of kilometers away without any medium, and without even breaking a sweat, as if nothing happened. Is this what they call a hero?"

Or perhaps, the Divine Armor, this exclusive weapon for heroes, is just like DIO?

"Virna, if it were you, could you do it?"

Looking around and at the outline of the royal city of Geolar that could already be seen in the distance, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Verna beside him and asked.

"Phew, I can do that, but after the teleportation, I'll immediately fall into a coma due to mana depletion!"

Verna pulled out a pipe from her deep-set eyes, took a deep drag, and looked at Freya in the distance with a serious expression, speaking softly.

"You, the Great Witch, can only barely manage this? I'm increasingly curious about what you'll be able to achieve after becoming a titled witch!"

Liu Tianyu wasn't too disappointed. After all, Freya was one of the top ten heroes standing at the pinnacle of the world, and it was already quite good that Verna could even see the hero's back.

"Alright, Kyar, Lord Storm Marquis, the royal city of Geolar is not far away. We only need to travel a short distance further."

As soon as the teleportation ended, Freya reminded Kjaer, who was sitting in the carriage, and Liu Tianyu, who was standing on the ground.

"Lord Stormwind, are you planning to continue on your journey? Perhaps I could have one of my knights offer you his horse to ride!"

Seeing that Liu Tianyu was still motionless after the teleportation was completed, Freya asked with concern.

"Hehe, Princess Freya, thank you for your kindness. I will now summon my mount. You should also keep your soldiers away from me, just like my soldiers!"

Hearing Freya's concern, Liu Tianyu shrugged and said...

Unsure of what Liu Tianyu was up to, Freya still had her guards clear a space for him.

"No ho!"

Just as Freya and her royal guards retreated, an endless black shadow instantly enveloped them, making them almost think that a total solar eclipse had occurred.

A deafening dragon roar made their eardrums ring, and the warhorses beneath them let out terrifying neighs, struggling wildly and throwing their masters violently to the ground.

"Bah! Bah!"

The unicorn riding Freya became restless instantly upon the appearance of the dark shadow and the roar of the dragon, showing a tendency to scatter and flee.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Freya immediately calmed her mount, then turned to look at the guy who had caused her and her guards to make such a fool of themselves!

But once she started looking, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Its enormous body, seemingly carved from massive and perfectly formed granite, had crimson wings as red as blood that completely blocked out the sun's radiance.

Those rows of sharp teeth were neatly arranged, and the gaping maw roared as if it could swallow a horse whole as a snack.

Its scales shimmered like obsidian, and its bone spurs gleamed like swords forged by a master craftsman.

The dragon's tail, which made up nearly half of its body, was powerful and strong. With just a light slap, it caused the earth to tremble violently, almost making everyone lose their balance.

"A dragon?! And a black dragon that is the wildest in both combat power and personality! With such a size, it is undoubtedly an adult black dragon!"

If it is allowed to run rampant, an entire city could be reduced to ashes!

After her initial surprise and fear, Freya gradually calmed down.

After all, the black dragon in front of her could not have appeared without warning. Just based on the black dragon's enormous and terrifying size, she could see it with her naked eyes even without using perception magic!

Since it didn't appear without warning, the only possibility is that someone summoned it.

Freya quickly turned her gaze to Liu Tianyu, who was dwarfed by the size of the black dragon.

Putting everything else aside, standing in front of the 60-meter-tall black dragon Zhuogeng, Liu Tianyu, who is only 1.85 meters tall, really doesn't look much different from an ant.

"Zhuo Geng, calm down! Stop yelling every time you appear on screen, it's about to burst my eardrums!"

Liu Tianyu spoke to Zhuo Geng behind him in a voice that was barely audible compared to a dragon's roar.

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's command, Zhuo Geng, who had been acting recklessly, immediately fell silent. His eyes, as large as the headlights of a high-speed train, searched around and, after confirming Liu Tianyu's presence, his head, which was even larger than a car, lowered instantly.

"I apologize, Your Highness Freya. I'm sorry to have startled you and your soldiers. After I withdrew my bloodline magic from Drogon, he was just getting a little too excited to breathe in the fresh air outside."

With a broad smile, Liu Tianyu stroked the massive, somewhat prickly head of the black dragon Drogon, which was covered in bone spurs, as if petting a large dog, and offered a completely insincere apology.

The cards you have to play shouldn't be revealed too early or too late.

Revealing your trump card too early means it's no longer a trump card, and its deterrent effect will be insufficient.

If you reveal your hand too late, you might end up in trouble before you even get to show your cards!

The trump card is meant to be revealed unexpectedly, shocking everyone!

"Lord Stormwind, you are actually a dragon knight?"

Freya said in a daze.

If she initially addressed Liu Tianyu as Lord Marquis of Storms merely out of courtesy and as a special envoy of the Liu Tianyu Kingdom, then after the appearance of the Black Dragon Drogon, she addressed him with genuine sincerity.

Liu Tianyu nodded noncommittally, then flipped over and jumped onto the neck of the black dragon Drogon, completely acknowledging the fact.

"Oh! How rude of me! Please come with me, I'm sure my father will be very pleased to see you!"

"call!"

Before Freya could finish speaking, the black dragon Drogon flapped its giant wings, carrying Liu Tianyu into the cloudless blue sky.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Freya, please lead my soldiers into the city first! Please also inform the soldiers guarding the city of Geolar of my arrival."

Zhuo Geng is too excited right now and needs to let off some steam!

Just as Zhuo Geng was about to leave the ground, Liu Tianyu said something, followed by a violent gust of wind that made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

"Tsk, this is truly a troublesome character! Hopefully, he won't affect Father's grand plans!"

If Freya initially regarded Liu Tianyu as a minor character, the appearance of the black dragon Drogon caused Liu Tianyu's perceived danger level to skyrocket.

"Um, Freya, may we go into the city now? After all, Liu Tianyu said he would take Zhuo Geng sightseeing for a while first."

Kyaar looked at Freya's trembling back and spoke softly.

"Kyar, let's go into the city now. Wait, you're calling Marquis Storm by his name directly? What's your relationship with him?"

Freya turned to answer Kyar, but then she suddenly realized something and quickly asked.

"Um, Liu Tianyu, he's my friend, is there anything strange about that?"

Seeing Freya suddenly approach, Kyar swallowed and asked in return.

"Strange, very strange indeed!"

Freya roared inwardly, but her smile grew even wider as she looked at Kyar, making a decision in her mind.

Chapter 118 Freya's Scheme [Two Chapters Combined]

After riding Drogon around the city of Georgios, Liu Tianyu put Drogon back into his inventory and went to the city gate.

To his surprise, Freya was waiting for him alone there, while Kyar, accompanied by her royal guard, went ahead to the palace to pay his respects.

Liu Tianyu was already quite surprised that Freya was waiting for him alone, but she even offered to ride with him.

They said that there was no way to spare horses in the short term, and that it would be more effective to ride together while explaining the city of Gioral.

It has to be said that this excuse was not very good, but Liu Tianyu readily agreed.

No man with normal sexual desires could possibly resist a beautiful woman!

[You have arrived in the royal city of Geolar. It appears very prosperous, the people live very happily, the artisans' businesses are booming, the merchants' shops are bustling with activity, and immigrants are constantly arriving, all seemingly hoping to try their luck here!]

[You see King Georal, the banner of Prom Georal flying on the city walls, and the local residents' favorability towards you is (0).]

"The walls of the royal city of Geolar are quite youthful compared to the walls of the royal capital, with a height of only fifteen meters!"

However, unlike the royal capital, this place is divided into an outer city wall and an inner city wall. The inner city wall, in particular, exudes a strong magical aura, even to me! It has clearly been enchanted and strengthened!

Was the capital artificially divided into commoner and noble districts? However, judging from the welcoming crowds on the streets, the happy expressions on their faces didn't seem fake.

Their clothing and appearance did not suggest poverty or shabbiness; on the contrary, many of them were adorned with gold and silver!

It seems that even with artificial class divisions, the lives of ordinary people are quite fulfilling. Or rather, in the Kingdom of Geolar, ordinary people are not actually at the bottom of the social hierarchy!

After entering through the outer gate of the royal city of Geolar, Liu Tianyu used his Emerald Eyes to observe every move in the royal city of Geolar, taking in all the different aspects of life!

Especially when he saw the demi-human slaves who were groveling and serving their human masters, and the demi-humans cowering in the corner, his expression became quite intriguing.

The Kingdom of Geolar's system seems to be an "advanced" form of slavery! However, the difference is that the slaves are not humans, but demi-humans!

Although the kingdom had serfs, it actually preferred to call them tenant farmers, as slavery had long been prohibited by law!

The kingdom implemented a further feudal system instead of a slave system, which resulted in the absence of slave traders like the fixed NPCs in the other world, much to Liu Tianyu's disappointment.

This left him unsure how to manage the captured orcs under his command.

Incorporating them into the military would seem quite out of place in a human nation, and treating them as slaves would not motivate them much.

Then, under the system's influence, these prisoners became completely obedient. Even if he killed them all and turned them into a mound of corpses, he wouldn't be that cruel!

But now, seeing that the Kingdom of Geolar has implemented slavery, this has opened up a bright path for him!

At that time, he could sell all the captured non-human races to the Kingdom of Geolar.
