Chapter 2269: Remember that a Woman’s Age Is a Taboo

Elena, who is known as the Knight of Whispers of the Wind, lost her cute smile and suddenly exuded a suffocating serious pressure. As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Artoria. Kneel down completely.

The etiquette of knights has always been to kneel down on one knee. No matter how grand and solemn the occasion is, whether it is to receive a gift, thank you, apologize, or accept an order, there is no exception. An excellent knight may not need to be like Elaine in his life. Na did this. Strictly speaking, this kind of etiquette is not recorded in the various etiquette books of knights.

However, it does exist, and it represents the complete dedication of the knight's dignity and life, even if Artoria now puts the sword of victory on her neck and uses sawing method to cut her neck bit by bit. Even if it was cut off with a saw, she wouldn't resist at all.

Faced with Elena's gift, Arturia wanted to stop her, but the disparity in strength between the two parties made her unable to reach out. At the same time, she also vaguely felt Elena's determination to prevent her from doing this and apologizing like this. , it may be difficult for her to smile and rest.

"Originally, the Knight of the Rose of Steel, Lan Larohe, and the Knight of the Dance of Prayer, Sharon Evra, should have come with me to apologize to you in person, but they are now preparing for the inheritance ceremony of the artifact fragments, and the preparation process is a little slow. It's complicated and delicate, so I can't get away from it halfway, so please forgive me, Her Majesty the Queen."

Are Lan Larohe, the knight of the Rose of Steel, and Sharon Everra, the knight of the Dance of Prayer, the other two knights?

I quietly looked at Caroline, and she nodded slightly, her lips trembling slightly. It seemed that she had countless things to explain to me about the great achievements of these two knights, but she couldn't speak due to the occasion.

"Lady Elena... No, Knight Elena." Artoria shook her head lightly. She wanted to say something: You didn't make a mistake. This test was very effective for me, but she paused. She stood solemnly and put the sword of victory on Elena's neck. I was startled and looked at Caroline again and again.

The little maid is helpless. Although she really wants to explain these etiquette to His Highness, how do you ask her to explain it in this situation.

Therefore, Carolie secretly made up her mind to find basic etiquette books for His Highness to read immediately after returning to the elves, even if it means using some slightly tougher methods.

A certain prince who didn't know that he was about to be in disaster was still looking around blankly, at a loss for what to do about the strange scene in front of him. It wasn't until Artoria spoke in a solemn and majestic tone as if at a national celebration that he suddenly realized it.

"Knight Elena, I forgive your fault, please get up."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your grace." She once again pressed her upper body, which was already kneeling deeply, down. Elena moved her knees, took three steps back, and then slowly stood up.

It seems very profound. Should I get a book on etiquette and read it carefully when I go back? Those things that Kane forced me to write down when I was married to Artoria had long since been sent back to the author.

A certain druid thought indifferently, not knowing that there would soon be someone who would replace Kane and let him learn.

"Your Highness, please accept Elena's highest apology." After speaking to the rightful owner, her eyes turned to me. Elena paused, put her right hand on her chest, and bent down slightly to apologize.

"No matter where." I laughed a few times. This difference in treatment is so big. Although I didn't suffer as many sins as Artoria, I still had a narrow escape from death by you.

But if you think about it carefully, maybe even Elena doesn't know how I, His Highness, should be positioned. After all, in the era of Little Little King, that love idiot was a single woman, and there was no such person as His Highness.

"The inheritor of the Knights of the Lake of the Sunset, can you forgive me, a guilty person?" Facing Carolie, her treatment seemed to have dropped by another level. After all, Elena is a senior.

"If so, I'm glad to see you here, Lord Knight Irina." Carolie quickly arranged her meticulous maid uniform and returned the greeting in a panic.

This is a female knight who looks gentle and easy-going, similar to a wife knight, but is actually a strict and disciplined female knight on the inside.

Seeing Elena's every move, I thought to myself.

However, calling such a person a knight makes it feel more normal, right? The Wife Knight is more like the big sister from the neighbor's house, while Elufasia-chan is a smart and powerful little loli. If you see them on the street for the first time, you would want people to believe that they are famous and better than humans. The Seven Heroes' Fortress is a thousand times ten thousand times more powerful than the Twelve Elf Knights. It's really a bit difficult. But it's different with Elena. Her inner character is more like Amrudina, almost overflowing with chivalry. .

"Lord Knight Elena, I don't know... I don't know where Lord King Arthur is now and what he is doing?"

After thinking about it, I asked out of curiosity, and quickly changed my words, "Oh no, the smiling female knight in front of me is a die-hard fan of Little Little King. If my title is even slightly disrespectful, she will most likely knock my head off." Cut it off, but regardless of whether I am the prince of the elves or not, it is better to take it easy.

"We don't dare to guess the king's whereabouts easily."

Elena responded with a chuckle. From her simple answer, it can be seen that they followed the will of little King Arthur. They called Artoria Her Majesty the Queen, and little King Arthur was the [King]. Who? It is clear at a glance who is close and who is distant.

Artoria did not expect the Twelve Knights to obey her like they did to King Arthur, and she was not afraid to tell the truth. With her current strength, she did not yet have the qualifications.

"Your Majesty, how about we set off for our destination now? Lan Larohe and Sharon must be almost ready."

"Well, I will leave it to you to make all arrangements for the inheritance ceremony."

"Then, please, Her Majesty the Queen and you two, come with me." Irina bowed slightly and took the lead, and we quickly followed.

While chatting along the way, I discovered that this Elena's personality is really different from the easy-going and gentle smile on her face. Not only is she serious and old-fashioned, but... she also doesn't like to talk very much. She is obviously one of the best among the elves. She is beautiful and elegant, but her presence is so thin that people can easily ignore her presence if they are not careful.

Several times, not long after my eyes left her, I thought Elena had quickened her pace and got rid of us. But when I turned around, I saw that she was walking in front of me, less than ten meters away from me, and Al Tolia communicated in low voices from time to time.

Damn...this sense of presence is comparable to that of Princess Sanwu. I thought Elena was a slightly normal knight just now, but I didn't expect that my fantasy would be shattered in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until I couldn't help but whisper to Carolie that she explained the reason in my ear in a very low voice.

Irina, the knight of Whispering Wind, turned out to be an out-and-out assassin, assassin, and reconnaissance ace. I was shocked on the spot, so scared that my eggs almost broke. I secretly looked at Irina again and again, and I felt something. No, but I felt that the little doubt in my heart suddenly became clear.

It turns out that Elena actually has these multiple identities. No wonder. If this is the case, the soft and friendly smile on her face and the thin sense of existence are necessary to exist. Xu Feng's words, Xu Feng's words, originally described It's a breeze that penetrates all the way.

Probably sensing my frequent gazes, Elena turned around and looked at me, with a bright smile on her face.

"Your Highness the Prince...do you mind if Elena calls you this?"

"Where, anywhere, you can call me whatever you want, no problem." I scratched my head, always feeling a little bit at a loss in front of Elena's smile, as if my defense was broken by her smile.

"I heard from Her Majesty the Queen that Sister Sheryl is His Highness's guide?"

"That's right."

"No wonder I can feel the faint aura of Sister Sheryl from your body." Elena smiled and added: "To be recognized by Sister Sheryl, His Highness is indeed not as ordinary as he appears."

"..." Is this praising me for being ordinary, or is it praising me for being extraordinary? I just want to be a good friend to Wu Fan.

"Sir Knight Elena...seems to be very familiar with Sir Sheryl?" I asked curiously when I saw Sister Sheryl shouting kindly at Elena's mouth. Not only that, but there was also a touch of respect in her tone.

"Did you see the smile on my face?" Elena suddenly pointed at her face.

"I see it, I see it." He looked carefully. Although he knew Elena was very beautiful just now, but when he looked carefully, he still couldn't help but feel a huge sense of surprise. This is obviously that strength and beauty are directly proportional.

However, besides being amazed, I also felt a little bit familiar. Is it an illusion?

"I learned this smile from Sister Sheryl. Maybe you can't imagine that before that, I had a cold personality and a cold face, and it was almost written on my face that I am an assassin who is coming to kill you, so Sister Sheryl took the trouble to teach me how to smile and how to hide my breath. It took me three years to learn all this."

No wonder it looks familiar, he clearly has the smile of a married woman knight! ! !

When Elena said this, the feeling of familiarity suddenly turned into confusion.

However, it took you three years of teaching to learn to smile. How cold and cold were you before?

I was quite speechless, but I didn't dare to show this thought on my face, so as not to be rude.

"Among our twelve knights, Sister Sheryl is the most popular. Almost every sister has received more or less help from her. I am not the oldest. Your Highness, you will see me later. Sharon Evra is.”

"Oh?" I blinked curiously, and suddenly realized that I had so little understanding of the Wife Knight. Although I had asked the pornographic maid to collect a lot of stories about the Wife Knight and keep them in mind, but after her sister Elaine In front of Na, I realized that this understanding was so shallow and ignorant.

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and there are probably no such records in books. It wouldn't be surprising if you didn't know. Sharon was picked up and raised by Sister Sheryl when she was a child. Even her name is after Xue. Sister Lil named herself after her. It can be said that in Sharon’s eyes, Sister Sheryl is her mother.”

"Is there such a thing?" I widened my eyes in surprise. Aren't the twelve knights the same age? Why did this relationship suddenly appear?

Thinking about it carefully, I know that I am superficial again. In the Dark Continent, being a dozen years or several decades behind is nothing at all, especially for powerful people like the Twelve Knights. If they die, they will probably die. His age can be compared with ordinary dragons.

"This is also the first time I heard about it. I didn't expect Sir Sharon and Sir Sheryl to have such a relationship." Arturia and Kaluge also expressed surprise after hearing this.

"Lady Elena, Master Elena, I want to ask a question." After all, my mind is different from ordinary people, and this relationship suddenly reminded me of another strange question.

"Sharon-sama and Erufacia-chan... Ahem, Erufacia-sama, which one is bigger?"

"Your Highness's thoughts are really different from ordinary people, but this question is really on point. Back then, this was always called the top ten unsolved mysteries of the elves." Elena said with a playful but serious expression. The smile deeply captivated us with one of the top ten unsolved mysteries.

"What kind of unsolved mystery is it and why can't it be solved?" I swallowed hard and was deeply absorbed by Elena's expression. Shocking secret mysteries flashed through my mind.

This is definitely not one of the camp’s biggest unsolved mysteries like “Hell Fighting Bear in a ragdoll suit, what does the guy in the ragdoll suit look like, is he wearing clothes, is he picking his feet and leg hair?” Such a superficial question, for sure!

"Erufacia and Sharon are the two youngest among our twelve knights, there is no doubt about it." As if thinking of some beautiful memories, the smile on Elena's face became softer and softer.

"However, as the saying goes, there is no first in civility and no second in martial arts. When a group of women gather together, the older ones are afraid of being the oldest, and the younger ones are also afraid of being the youngest. Your Highness, can you understand this sentence?"

"I understand, I understand." I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. As an otaku, I still know a little bit about the common sense of intrigue between women.

"So, in order to get rid of the name of the youngest of the Twelve Knights, Elufasia and Sharon had a lot of quarrels and fights." At this point, Elena couldn't help laughing. .

Thinking of two little lolita quarreling and fighting over who is bigger, it must be a very cute scene, and the lolita control soul in me couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"The two were fighting and almost razing the Elf King City to the ground." Elena added.

I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. I almost forgot that while Elufasia-chan is a lolita, she is also a strong person with the power to devour the world. Her fighting power is extraordinary and tough. I thought of the fight between two powerful lolita. Like playing house, I am really stupid.

"Isn't there any way to tell who is hitting the kid?"

"There is no way. It's okay to say that Alufasija was picked up by Sister Sheryl. Her age can only be roughly guessed, but it is impossible to be precise. However, the age difference between these two people is not more than three years, which makes it difficult to It has been judged, and as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to judge.”

"Then there's really nothing we can do." When I heard Elena say this, I shook my head in confusion. This was really a case that even gods couldn't solve. No, even if I could, I wouldn't dare to solve it.

"So, who is the oldest among the Twelve Knights?" I suddenly made a good shot of reverse thinking and looked at Elena.

"Oh, Your Highness, you...really want to know?" Irina lowered her head, and her eyes were immediately shrouded in black shadows. The shallow smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly deepened, and a pair of fangs seemed to be vaguely exposed. ?

I was so frightened that I realized that what I was throwing was not a good shot, but a good boat, and I shook my head desperately.

The topic of a woman's age is so scary. I will never dare to make such a stupid mistake again.

As soon as the chatter box opened, Irina obviously talked more. She told us the embarrassing story of this sister, and then the strange experience of the other sister. For a moment, the image of the Twelve Knights was almost overturned. They were no longer aloof, but closer to each other. .

However, Elena has never asked us about the outside world. It seems that after hundreds of thousands of years, she doesn't want to know what the world has become or how the elves have become.

Maybe she wasn't interested, maybe the little king had already told her, or maybe... she didn't dare to understand, for fear of arousing curiosity? I'm not sure, and I don't dare ask.

As we walked, the front suddenly became clear. We came back to our senses and looked around carefully. Suddenly we found that this place looked familiar, wasn't it... wasn't it the location of Big Rock Mountain?

Looking at Elena in astonishment, she smiled and nodded, moving forward a little.

"Look, Sharon and Lan Larohe are right in front."

Looking carefully, we could barely see two figures the size of a needle's eye, busy very far away. On the ground, a magic circle spread to our feet, which was constantly taking shape as the two of them were busy.

No wonder Elena said they were preparing for the ceremony and couldn't leave. It turned out to be the case. The magic circle under their feet must be at least ten kilometers in diameter. It is estimated that the three of them have been preparing for more than a day.

"The following ceremony will not only pass on the fragments of the artifact, but also gather the remaining power of the magic circle set up by Sister Femia, the wise knight of the Holy Law, as a melting pot to integrate the fragments into the artifact, so You have to make such a big magic circle." Elena continued to explain.

"The magic circle set up? Lady Elena, is this the test you are talking about?"

"To put it simply, this is it. The magic circle set up by Sister Femia is itself a test. Everything we see now is within this magic circle."

"It's really amazing." We can only marvel at the masterpiece of the wise knight of the Holy Law and the ultra-high level of the magic circle back then.
