Chapter 1 Making a choice

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.

Verin Akers woke up from his bed, got out of bed, opened the window, and welcomed the rising sun.

From here, you can just see Training Ground No. 7 set up in the castle, where thousands of knights and attendants are undergoing fighting spirit training.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Verin's thoughts.

"Come in."

The door was opened, and a beautiful maid appeared in front of him. She bent down to salute and said respectfully: "Master Weilin, after I ask you to have dinner, go to the study to find him."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, the maid took a few steps back, closed the door, and left.

Weilin lowered his head, knowing very well that he had to make a choice this time when he went to his father's room.

He has become an adult after the coming-of-age ceremony held more than two months ago.

In addition to the established heirs, other heirs need to make choices when they reach adulthood.

First, become the guardian knight of the current heir, and swear an oath never to betray under the witness of the goddess of life.

Second, leave the family and become a pioneer, heading to the border areas to build your own business.

The last option is to join the knights directly under the kingdom under the recommendation of the family and serve the king.

"If I didn't have this special soul skill - the guidance of destiny, I might have chosen the first one, stayed in the family, and waited for death."

As a time traveler, Verin received a gift from fate when he came of age.

After this period of exploration, he roughly figured out the special function of destiny guidance.

At eight o'clock in the evening on the first day of every month, a sweet female voice will ring in Verin's ears, telling him a valuable news.

In the past two months, I have obtained two valuable pieces of information, one about myself and the other about Yinxing City, the territory of the Akers family.

Ten minutes later, the servant delivered today's breakfast to his room.

After putting on his clothes, Verin sat on the chair, quickly ate the three pieces of white bread and a large glass of milk in front of him, asked the valet to take away the tableware, then picked up his knight's dagger, left the room, and went to his father study room.

The castle where the Akers family lives is called Windsor Castle. The name sounds romantic, but it is a veritable war fortress.

The entire castle covers an area of ​​eight square kilometers and is home to tens of thousands of people. In addition to hundreds of members of the Akers family and more than 200 silver knights, there are also a thousand bronze knights and more than 6,000 trained knights. , the remaining people are all servants of the castle.

Weilin left the auxiliary castle where his room was located, stepped on the jade-white floor, and headed towards the main castle where his father Angus's study was.

Along the way, the passing servants bowed and saluted, and Verin kept smiling and nodded in response.

Half an hour later, Verin arrived at the third floor of the main castle of Windsor Castle, arranged his clothes again, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the study door.

"Come in."

A majestic voice came from the room. Weilin calmed down and opened the door.

Looking at the tall and powerful figure, Weilin put his right hand on his chest, bent down and saluted: "Father, good morning."

Angus, the sixth-generation patriarch of Aix and the contemporary Eagle Count, turned around, looked at his fifth son, and said with dignity in his tone: "Verin, my dear son, your choice is What?"

"Father, I choose to become a pioneer knight and add new glory to the Aix family." Welin straightened up, looked at his father's majestic face, and said firmly.

"That's out of character for you."

Eagle Earl Angus stared at his son with wide eyes and asked.

"Father, maybe after I grow up, I will grow up and want to develop my own career like an eagle." Weilin said calmly despite the momentum of his father's Golden Knight.

Now that his son had made his choice, Angus, as his father, was not prepared to interfere. He put away the weak momentum he exuded and answered: "According to the rules set by the first generation of the Akers family, adult heirs choose To become a pioneer knight, you can only stay in the castle for three months."

"As your father, I can allow you to stay in the castle for one more month. After two months, you must leave Windsor Castle."

"I understand, father, if nothing happens, I'll go down first."

Weilin watched his father nod in agreement, then turned to leave.

"Your news has saved Yinxing City from major losses. The rewards will be handed over to you together with the aid." Angus said suddenly while waiting for Weilin to walk to the door.

"Yes, father."

Weilin responded again, closed the door, and left.

The moment the study door closed, a shadow stalker appeared in front of Angus, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Master, no other forces were found around Master Weilin. Do we need to investigate further?"

"This matter ends here, all records are destroyed." Angus put his hands behind his back and ordered Shadow Stalker.

"Yes, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow Stalker figure disappeared from the room.

A kind smile appeared on Angus' majestic face, and he murmured to himself: "Verin, my child, I hope you can really break into a new world and spread the glory of Aix."

On the other side, after leaving his father's study, Verin walked around the castle and began to think about where he should go next.

Before he came of age, his talent was average, so he just stayed in the family, ate and waited for death, and spent the rest of his life without thinking about this issue at all.

Now that he has made his choice, he must plan carefully and plan well to avoid being like a headless fly.

"Next, go to Elder Miller, who manages the whereabouts of family members, and seek available information."

Verin looked at the sky and murmured to himself.

Every pioneer who leaves the family will visit Elder Miller, the 320-year-old living fossil of the Akers family.

However, before that, he had to go to Yinxing City to do something.

The second news he received from Destiny Guidance informed him that it was in Yinxing City.

[Two weeks later, two groups of people will conduct a transaction at No. 308 House, Xicheng District, Yinxing City. The product is two like-minded teenagers, one with blond hair and one with silver hair. They have great potential. The strength of both parties to the transaction is the highest, Intermediate Bronze. . Save the two teenagers and they will become your wings. 】

When he came to the stables, he asked the horse servant to pull a horse, turned over and rode on it, asked the guards to open the castle gate, and drove the horse away from Windsor Castle toward Yinxing City, which was thirty kilometers away.

Relying on the avenue paved with bricks and stones, it only took Weilin twenty minutes to reach this city covering an area of ​​30 square kilometers and containing more than 300,000 people.

As the second largest city in the Akers family territory, Yinxing City maintains a garrison of 8,000 troops all year round, responsible for guarding the safety of the city.
