"Are you an idiot?"
"Who said before that he hated political marriages the most? And who rejected the daughter of a duke and marquis, saying that there was only one princess? Don't tell me that what you said was all lies."
"Of course it's not a lie——"
"It's not a lie, why are you still saying this? What about the princess? If you don't like it, it's nothing. If you like it, even the emperor can't stop it!"
"Ah, yes, yes -"
"What's right? Apologize!"
Another slap on the back of the head.
This time Hector was standing, and considering the height difference between the two, the Loli Witch jumped up and slapped him.
The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go, and it can be seen that he is very skilled.
Hector bowed his head equally skillfully when he was slapped: "I'm sorry, it was Yu's mistake."
The majestic emperor, in the history of the empire, also maintained the attitude of retaining five and competing for three outstanding monarchs. What else can Alyssa and others say?
Rider was the only one who showed dissatisfaction and cursed in a low voice: "Pretending."
Boring, we want to see a river of blood! How can it be repaired!
It's a pity that in the Shura field, technical nerds who have no relationship with the opposite sex have always had the lowest sense of existence.
Except for adding drama to his own mind, no one paid attention to him from beginning to end.
Including Rean.
Even if the Loli Witch was ending Hector in this way, Rean didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Once things like feelings are linked to interests, it's easy to lose focus.
Some topics are definitely not suitable for in-depth discussion.
There are some things that are not suitable to express your stance now.
This is bad for everyone.
So Rean spoke up in time, interrupting the most adorable height difference "willing to fight or suffer":
"Archer, can you feel the presence of 'Crimson Riding God' Testerossa?"
"Yes, at this location." Hector pointed to a place on the outskirts of the imperial capital, "Why do you ask this?"
The Loli Witch broke up the trouble and said: "Rean, this guy's brain is mostly about muscles. You can't speak politely to him. Just ask directly - can you make a contract with the Scarlet Horseman again? Bring her to our side!"
"this……"
Hector closed his eyes, and soon, his burly body trembled violently, and his right hand subconsciously pressed his heart.
"I heard Testerossa's call. I really miss it. Really, Yu's blood has always been flowing in your body..."
The face that was as tough as the strong muscles gradually softened, and the softness was almost comparable to when facing the Loli Witch.
Seeing Hector like this, the Loli Witch first puffed her lips in anger, then quickly put aside her thoughts and nodded to Rean: "We made the right bet."
This is the fundamental reason why Rean gave up many alternatives and decided to summon Hector I.
The records in the history books are cursed and distorted versions. They only record the largest knighthood in history and the bravery of Hector I himself, but miss the two core points.
First, Hector I was the initiator of Testerossa, the Scarlet Riding God.
Second, the culprit responsible for the destruction of the imperial capital was not humans, but the terrifying monster from the underground - the "Dark Dragon" Zero Strider.
Qiyao Calendar 371.
It took two hundred years for the imperial capital Heimdall to be established——
"That disaster" suddenly appeared from beneath the earth.
——"Dark Dragon" Zero Strider.
A terrifying dragon that emits black miasma.
The miasma breathed out by the dragon enveloped the imperial capital, and Heimdall turned into a dead city.
The dead were controlled by the demon dragon and wandered back to the local area, attacking the living people to increase their attributes.
Faced with this situation, the then emperor Asterius II led the people and ministers to escape from Heimdall and established a capital in Sainteac in the south.
This is the truth behind the destruction of the imperial capital.
Then, a hundred years later, Emperor Hector I, seven generations later, decided to recover Heimdall, which had been reduced to a ruined capital.
But the Dark Dragon is not an opponent that humans can defeat at all. If it could, the empire would never let the imperial capital fall for a hundred years and let Heimdall become a monster paradise dominated by the Dark Dragon.
No matter how brave Hector is or how powerful the Knights are, manpower will eventually be exhausted.
What changed this situation was Hector's encounter with Testerossa.
The Scarlet Knight, who accepted Hector I as his master, used his incomparable strength and countless weapons to enter the abandoned city and confront the dark dragon, the culprit of everything.
After a fierce battle, the Scarlet Knight successfully killed the Dark Dragon.
But it also came at a great price. The emperor died because he was contaminated by the dark dragon's blood, and the Scarlet Knight was also cursed.
Transformed into a "demon with thousands of weapons", it only reacts to the royal blood. Once it loses control, it may cause a "blood-red disaster" that swallows everything on the ground.
In the end, the "Demon" was sealed deep underground in the imperial capital, in a dark place.
Then, the disintegrated ruined city streets were covered up below, a new capital was built above, and the people gathered again.
Today's "Crimson Imperial Capital" - the street scene of Heimdall is a continuation of that time.
In other words, the Testerosa of today is no longer the same person as she was in the past.
Obtaining more powerful power will also face the risk of losing control, and at the same time, the logic of choosing the master will also change.
From casting a wide net within the "Land of Steel", depending on fate, to being limited to the Anor clan, the reason is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
It was influenced by the blood of Hector I, the initiator who died suddenly inside the Riding God.
According to the analysis of the witch and the goblin, it is very likely that the blood of Hector I has been integrated with the Scarlet Rider God. The initiators in the future, including Otrus, who upgraded the "Demon" again, are First connect with the blood of Hector I, and then use this as a medium to conclude a contract with the Scarlet Riding God.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
So what if something goes wrong with the contract medium? Furthermore, is the media itself “alive” again?
Who does the Scarlet Riding God regard as its initiator? Or... her initiator hasn't really changed since that "encounter"?
This is not a random guess. There are "initiators" and "quasi-initiators" in the system of the God of Cavalry. Rean can counterattack all the way as the lowest-ranked Gray Cavalry God. This system has benefited greatly. Many - all of the old and new Class VII are quasi-starters of the Gray Riding God.
Connect with Valimar through Rean and the "tactical link", or borrow the power of Valimar's horseman, or feed your own spiritual power back to Valimar and Rean.
Now, the reaction of Hector I also proves that this analysis is correct. In the vitality of the Scarlet Riding God, this initiator of the blending of blood has a unique and special status.
Between closing his eyes and opening them, Hector had already completed the communication with the Scarlet Riding God: "Really, there are already qualified starters... You still need me to become the Scarlet Starter, which means that this generation's starter He, the successor of Anor, isn’t that good?”
"Wrong, it's not not good, it's too bad!"
"It can't be said that His Highness Cedric's qualifications are still very good, and he works hard enough, but his heart is not mature enough to get rid of the negative influence of Dark Thunder Dragon pollution."
The former sentence is about Loli Witch, and the latter sentence is of course Rean.
Hecht struck a middle ground between the two: "That doesn't really work."
Is it because of the separation between exterior and interior?
Hector did not say this sentence, and it serves as a lesson for the future.
Although Anor's completion plan itself is quite controversial, in the face of major changes unseen in a thousand years, both Anor and the empire need a successor who is strong enough and outstanding.
In that case——
Well!
As he was calculating in his mind, Hector suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and a spiritual power that was different from Crimson but equally familiar surged up from the soles of his feet, instantly spreading throughout his body and impacting his soul.
"Is this...are you still 'alive'? It seems that it's not just old friends who are reunited, but also old rivals."
"Yes, we died together, were engraved into history together, and were imprinted on this land. Now, the Dark Dragon 'Zero Strider'!"
PS: Not counting supporting evidence, among the living initiators of Track Creation, Rean, Young Master, and Crowe have all completed their reunion with the Riding God’s consciousness. So the question is, who didn’t respond?
