Lan Continent is an inconspicuous continent among many continents. This continent is home to elves, dwarves, humans and orcs. Its basic structure is the same as the Holy Continent where Abel used to be.
Sitting on the throne of a luxurious palace in Lan Continent was an emperor wearing golden armor and a crown.
All the people standing in the hall were knights in full armor, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm as they looked at the great Emperor Harvey sitting on the throne.
Three hundred years ago, the young Prince Harvey returned to Lan Continent from the Central Continent, and a legend began.
Prince Harvey was the only prince at that time. He personally trained a group of powerful knights, unified all human empires, drove the powerful orcs into the desert, forced the friendly dwarves into the depths of the mountains, and drove the peaceful elves Compressed in the small Xiangfu Forest, struggling to survive.
With his invincible power, Prince Harvey accomplished all this in just a hundred years. Based on knights, he overthrew the aristocratic system and established a powerful Holy Light Empire dominated by knights.
The high-ranking wizards did not care about the changes in the small Orchid Continent. Although the balance between orcs and humans was broken and the role of training wizards was no longer achieved, the Holy Light Empire's tribute to wizards did not decrease. On the contrary, because of the national strength Stronger and more.
In the next two hundred years, many young men with extremely strong knight talents were summoned by Emperor Harvey in places where wizards could not see them, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Emperor Harvey felt the divine power surging in his body, and he knew in his heart that his goal would be achieved in the next few days.
He still remembered that he was an illegitimate son, born to a noble woman when his father was in the Central Continent. He had not seen his father since he was born and was raised by his mother.
After it was confirmed that he had no wizarding talent, he lived a peaceful life like an ordinary noble child.
His mother one day embraced faith, and soon after, brought him into it as a child.
Without fatherly love, he regarded gods as his father and often expressed his feelings through prayer.
When he was eighteen years old, he knew what he believed in, which was the biggest enemy of the Central Continent, and the god he believed in was the devil outside the sky.
But by then he had become the most devout believer, and it didn't matter to him even if he believed in the devil.
Of course, in his heart, how could that kind of sacred feeling be possessed by a demon? It was that sacred feeling, that incomparable solemn momentum, and that ultimate sense of purity that made him fall deeply into it.
One day, a messenger from the gods found him. The gods needed him to return to Lan Continent to inherit the throne, and gave him a piece of golden armor. This armor was the artifact armor worn by the demon outside the world.
In this golden armor, there is a strange power, and it has the ability to turn a hundred knights into paladins.
Emperor Harvey was confused at that time. He agreed unconditionally to the gods' request, but how could he return to Lanzhou, let alone inherit the throne.
You must know that the resources consumed by opening the super teleportation circle once are huge. The empire will not open the super teleportation circle for the illegitimate son of an emperor. At the same time, he knows that his father has five official princes.
But two months later, the old emperor really spent a huge price to contact Harvey and wanted to take him back to the empire.
After the trip to the super teleportation circle that impressed him deeply, he came to Lan Continent.
Only then did he discover that the reason why the old emperor wanted him to come back was because all five princes died in various accidents, and the old emperor himself also lost his fertility.
At that time, Harvey knew that this should be the work of the Kingdom of God. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? All the princes died, and the old emperor could no longer have new children. All of this seemed to be paving the way for him.
All his actions were as arranged by the messenger of the gods. First, he used the golden armor to promote himself to a paladin. Then, through various means, he used all the ninety-nine places to form a team of one hundred. A knightly battle formation composed of paladins.
Even if he and the other paladins have been hiding their strength and rarely use skills that have too obvious paladin marks, ordinary knights cannot resist them.
This is also the real secret of Emperor Harvey's invincibility, because the rule that wizards cannot participate in the secular world allowed him to sweep across the entire Lan Continent.
Although the one hundred paladin quotas were used up later, he could increase the number of paladin quotas by getting more people to believe in the demon outside and collect the power of faith through the artifact golden armor.
After Emperor Harvey became the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire, he had more opportunities to make more people believe in the demons from outside the world, which allowed him to continuously increase the number of paladins around him.
Knights only have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, while Paladins have a lifespan almost the same as that of wizards. This belief that gives knights hope is not difficult to spread.
Of course, for fear of being discovered by the wizard, all this was done in secret.
The power of the Paladin made Emperor Harvey more and more confident, but he was also waiting, waiting for an opportunity when the strength of the Paladin he possessed could compete with the wizards of Lan Continent.
In three hundred years, the first hundred people to become Paladins, including Emperor Harvey himself, have become powerful senior Paladins. In particular, Emperor Harvey is already a level 20 senior Paladin, while other Paladins The knight has also reached level nineteen.
If Abel had known about this situation, he would have discovered that it was the result of a divine gift from a demon outside of heaven.
If the dead 19th or 20th level Paladin souls were not given into the bodies of these first batch of Paladins, how could they have become 19th or 20th level in just three hundred years? The senior paladin.
You must know that although geniuses exist, it is impossible for a hundred Paladin geniuses to appear at the same time.
Not to mention that in a subcontinent like Lanzhou, its resources cannot push a senior professional to a level above level 18.
In the Holy Continent, level 18 is almost the highest level for professionals. If you want to go higher, you won't have enough resources to promote your promotion.
The Lan Continent, which has almost the same conditions as the Holy Continent, should not be special. It can only be explained by God's gift.
The Kingdom of God used countless manpower and material resources for Harvey's growth, and a large number of people who knew or did not know about it paved the way for Harvey. The Kingdom of God even sealed the souls of a hundred high-level senior paladins into the artifact armor. middle.
This kind of investment is almost beyond imagination, but the rewards are even more abundant.
Although the distance between Lan Continent and the Central Continent and the influence of the ocean make it impossible for the power of faith to be transmitted, it is not true that the power of faith cannot be transmitted through such a long distance.
As long as there are enough believers, the distance limit can be broken.
Once Lan Continent is really controlled by the Kingdom of God, then the faith of a subcontinent will be enough to break through the distance limit, so that the Kingdom of God can have a number of paladins several times the current size.
The number of Paladins in the Kingdom of God has always been affected by the number of believers. The Kingdom of God is not large in scope. Even if fertility is encouraged, it is affected by the scope and cannot feed too many people.
This allows the number of believers in the Kingdom of God to remain at a stable number. The number of believers determines the number of paladins.
When a large number of believers in Lan Continent join the faith of the Kingdom of God, there will be a big explosion in the number of holy knights in the Kingdom of God in a short period of time. In a hundred years, more holy knights who can fight against the Central Continent will be cultivated. knight.
The principle of the artifact armor is like an 'ancient totem', which absorbs the power of faith and gives the corresponding paladin quota to the paladin according to a certain ratio.
In today's Lan Continent, Emperor Harvey is very strict in the selection of believers because he is afraid of the discovery of wizards, which greatly limits the number of believers.
But even so, the number of paladins behind him has reached a full five thousand, and now the harvest time has finally come.
The strength of the Holy Knights of the Holy Light Empire can completely overwhelm the strength of the wizards of the Lan Continent. If it were not considered that if a problem arises, the wizards will ask for help from the Central Continent through the super teleportation circle, the empire will have eliminated the wizards long ago.
"Your Majesty Harvey, excuse me!" Just as Emperor Harvey was thinking about the previous matter, a figure flashed in the hall, and a senior wizard appeared in the hall. He ignored everyone in the hall and bowed slightly. said.
This senior wizard was very rude and instantly made the knights present furious.
In this hall, there were nine 19th-level senior paladins. They looked at Emperor Harvey sitting on the throne, waiting for Emperor Harvey's instructions in their eyes.
"Senior Wizard Albert, I wonder why you are here?" Emperor Harvey did not show anger, but asked with a smile.
The senior wizard Albert glanced at the knights with angry expressions. In his heart, he completely looked down on these knights. The end of the knights was the Grand Knight Commander, and the Grand Knight Commander's combat power was only similar to that of the junior wizard.
In this world, knights are not included in the professional system, and can only be regarded as slightly stronger than ordinary warriors.
"Your Majesty Harvey, it seems that everyone in this hall does not welcome my arrival!" Senior wizard Albert said with a sneer.
"Senior Wizard Albert, please forgive me!" Emperor Harvey was still not angry, he still said with a smile.
In his eyes, the senior wizard Albert could be killed at any time, and the plan was about to be implemented. He did not need to endure it, but he wanted to hear why the senior wizard Albert came.
"Forget it, I came here today because of the 'life extension potion' in your Majesty's hands!" Senior wizard Albert said with greed in his eyes as he looked at Emperor Harvey.
"Senior Wizard Albert, where did you start talking about the 'life extension potion'?" Emperor Harvey asked with a strange expression.
"Your Majesty Harvey, please stop hiding it. You have lived for more than three hundred years. Although you have reached the level of Grand Knight Commander, you can only live to be two hundred years old at most. You may not know , you have been targeted by many wizards now!" Senior wizard Albet said in a deep voice with a sneer.
"Senior Wizard Albert, I really don't have a 'life extension potion'!" Emperor Harvey's voice no longer had the same smile as before.
"Your Majesty Harvey, I don't know what adventure you have had, but you have to know that you just drank the 'life extension potion' yourself, and you also used the 'life extension potion' on your close subordinates!" Senior wizard Albert Pointing at the senior paladin Kirk in the hall, he said.
Senior Paladin Kirk was one of the first knights of Emperor Harvey, and was extremely famous among them. It was for this reason that Senior Wizard Albert thought that Master Harvey had a large number of 'life extension potions' in his hands.
Of course, senior wizard Albert couldn't be sure of this, but he couldn't wait many more years. His life was about to end, and he was not ready to give up even if there was a glimmer of hope.
So even though Emperor Harvey had unified the Lan Continent, he still came to threaten Emperor Harvey with the 'life extension potion' he thought he should have.
The main reason why the senior wizard Albert dared to threaten Emperor Harvey was that after Emperor Harvey established the Holy Light Empire, he actually invited all the wizards who were worshiped out of the palace. Although there was no shortage of tributes, But in fact, those who worshiped wizards no longer interfered with the affairs of the Holy Light Empire.
As for the origin of Emperor Harvey's 'Life Extension Potion', senior wizard Albert had already thought about it. It was either brought back from the Central Continent or found in an ancient ruins in the Lan Continent.
No matter what, the fact that many great knights can live to be 300 years old is already very noticeable.
Of course other wizards also know about this, but they are skeptical about whether there is a 'life extension potion'. The 'life extension potion' is too precious. If they were Emperor Harvey, they would only take the 'life extension potion' as soon as possible. 'Use them all.
Senior wizard Albert thought this way before, but he was ready to give it one last try. If Emperor Harvey still had something left in his hands, he would have time to practice at the next level.
"Senior Wizard Albert, you know, you shouldn't come to me, let alone threaten me, otherwise I can let you live a few more days!" Emperor Harvey said in a cold voice.
"What, how dare you talk to me like that!" Senior Wizard Albert shouted angrily. At the same time, a staff appeared in his hand, and a 'fireball' spell pattern appeared on the top of the staff.
But at the same time, a spell pattern flashed in the hands of Kirk's senior paladin, and then a halo of ice mist rose under his feet.
The 'Holy Freeze' aura itself has a very concealed attack ability. In addition, the senior wizard Albert did not expect that there would be a senior paladin with a higher level than him in the hall.
Almost instantly, frost appeared on the body of the senior wizard Albert, and his movements suddenly became extremely slow.
Then a shadow flashed and his head flew into the sky.
