[I haven’t replied to book reviews one by one recently. I will post about the works when I have time. If you want to discuss it, please join the group]

The violent bear climbed up from the ground, his steps shaky. wwW,QUanbEn-xIAoShUo,cOmAlthough Xika didn't know sword energy, that punch still stunned him. He had a rough temperament. When he came in front of Princess Rex, he bowed casually.

"I've met my lord."

"What is your position here?"

"I'll cook for them." Bao Xiong scratched his head in embarrassment.

Princess Rex was overjoyed. Cooking was basically not a military position, so there was no need for review when being transferred. "I happen to be short of a chef, so you can follow me from now on."

The violent bear rolled his eyes and looked around. Scott shouted: "I haven't thanked the princess yet!"

"Then, Princess Princess, how many silver coins can I earn by being your cook?" Bao Xiong asked with courage.

"Ha..." Princess Rex couldn't help but laugh out loud. This violent bear had never practiced any sword energy. Unlike Sika, he didn't have the blessing of a Caucasian priest. He was born with a good warrior body. He probably has no money and can't even become an ordinary swordsman. For such a person, find a good teacher. In a few years, he will be at least a high-level swordsman and become a swordsman without any problems. If you are lucky, maybe you will have another sword master thirty years from now.

"Bao Xiong, I don't have any silver coins. From now on, I will give you two gold coins every month."

The violent bear looked sad and replied: "Well, sir, I can't spend all the two gold coins, so let's forget it."

"It doesn't matter, I'll exchange it for you with silver coins, and you'll spend all your money." Princess Rex had a childlike innocence, but to her surprise, the violent bear nodded vigorously and replied: "That's okay, then when will I leave? "

The surrounding soldiers also laughed when they heard Princess Rex's words. Saleen nodded secretly. Even though Princess Rex was not much older than him, she was much more skillful. And every word and deed can affect others. Is this the so-called aristocratic temperament

Sikka moved her hands and feet, returned to Salin, looked at the violent bear, and said: "Big man, he is very strong."

Bao Xiong was a little embarrassed. With Sika's body shape like a little doll, she would lose face even if she won, let alone lost.

It turned out to be no trouble to hire a cook. Scott quickly helped Rex County Manager get everything done. He also changed the raging bear into clean clothes and asked him to put on his shoes.

This is all a small matter. The imperial envoy has arrived in the town and has passed the documents. Princess Rex will enter the city in the afternoon and is about to leave at this time.

Even as the princess, Rex cannot lead troops into the city, but the mage around her can. One hundred low-level mages were somewhat arrogant, and finally they selected fifty mages and fifty swordsmen to accompany Princess Rex into the city.

The distance of fifty miles would take an ordinary person one day to walk. Now the princess's carriage is light and simple, and the journey is only two hours. In addition to Faerun, life mages such as Salin also rode on their horses. They all wanted to take a good look at the spectacular scene of Holy Rock City. This city, known as the miracle of the Mers continent, is very impressive.

It took the first generation Emperor Qin Yin seventy-two years to build this city. At that time, the royal family had ten ninth-level magicians and hundreds of great magicians. Ordinary mages and apprentices can form an army of pure mages. With such a powerful lineup, it took such a long time to build a city. Any mage would be surprised, curious, and longing for it.

Despite the rise of Alchemy City later, Holy Rock City is still an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of magicians.

Perhaps Alchemy City has more mages, magic towers, and wizards, but Alchemy City has no history, has never really fought against the Holy See, and has no glory in the hearts of mages.

When the mainland was in turmoil and the Holy See marched eastward, hundreds of thousands of knights died fighting under the Holy Rock City, which established the dignity of the mage. The Battle of Holy Rock City was a turning point in history. From then on, the continent never showed signs of unification, and hundreds of years of peace followed.

Any peace is bought with blood. Without sacrifice, human beings do not know that they can fight against gods, and they do not know that there have been glorious years in history.

Saleen has seen these repeatedly in numerous magic notes, and every magician has no hesitation in describing Holy Rock City with praise.

Who says that a preacher has no faith? Every mage, when receiving the inheritance, will be told that everything a mage achieves is achieved by oneself, and there is no need to pray.

The road from the town to Holy Rock City is extremely wide. Every few miles, you can see majestic and magnificent castles hidden in the jungle. These ancient castles no longer have any warfare function, and most of them are villas of great nobles. The imperial envoy led the way on horseback, but he couldn't run too fast. Salin just happened to enjoy it all the way.

This east-west official road is not prosperous, and the pedestrians are mostly cars and horses, but there are no civilians or business travelers. Princess Rex's team became smaller, but the fifty magicians were not fake. Everyone they met gave way to show respect.

Low-level mages may not be taken seriously in the imperial capital, but a vehicle protected by dozens of mages must be a big shot.

More than ten miles away, Salin could already see the outline of Holy Rock City. It was a high-altitude city, much higher than the horizon, and the dense forest could not block Salin's sight.

Salin's body was a little stiff. He had never thought about such a majestic city, not to mention seeing it. And this city is a miracle created by magicians. Salin never thought that looking at a city from a distance would bring such a shock to his soul.

The city is getting closer and closer, even without using magic, the outline of Holy Rock City is clearly visible. This city is almost carved out of a huge mountain. The black city wall has no regular lines, but is carefully carved according to the landform. The higher parts are built like fortresses, and the lower parts are tens of meters high, and some low-level magic cannot reach them. Salin did not observe the endless magic patterns on the city wall. He could not believe that this city was actually built with steel rocks.

The magic notes did not mention details, and occasionally the descriptions were not detailed. Salin thought that Holy Rock City used a lot of magic materials, but he did not expect that this huge city itself was a magic prop.

Any section of such a city wall will have an amplifying effect on magic. When the Holy Knights charged towards the Holy Rock City with the blessing of the magicians, what a tragic scene it was!

Such a city can only be destroyed by the arrival of the true god.

when…

A deep bell rang, followed by an endless resonance that emanated outside the city.

when…

The sound of the bell seemed to hit people's hearts directly, and at least there were hundreds of bells resonating. This bell is not the iron bell of the Holy See, but a magic bell left over from the ancient Fourth Dynasty. It is made of fine copper and its sound can stretch for more than eighty miles. In other words, the bells of Holy Rock City can be clearly heard in the surrounding towns that protect the imperial capital.

when…

A smile appeared on Princess Rex's face, "Father, I'm back."

The envoy leading the way was shocked. He did not expect that His Majesty would greet the princess with such high standards. How many years has it been since the Empire used the magic clock? Does His Majesty want to abolish the crown prince and choose Princess Rex to inherit the throne? This is not good for the empire. The prince finally drove the princess out of the imperial capital, but your majesty still thinks about it

Although the Crown Prince is young, can't you see the support he has received from the House of Lords and the House of Commons

The bell kept ringing, and the messenger's face became more and more ugly. He had no prejudice against the county owner. As long as Rex stayed in Bushui County honestly, it didn't matter even if he acted recklessly. Such a trivial matter would cause the empire to be upset, but if the princess came back for the position of crown prince, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos.

Salin didn't understand the meaning of the bell, but his mental power directly resonated with the bell. The mental power that had been condensed to the limit condensed again, almost forming a substance. Is there such a good thing

It's a pity that I am only a second-level mage. If I were at the top of the third-level, under the washing of this bell, it would not be a problem to break through to the fourth level. The magic string is too weak! Sora has strong mental power, but cannot advance.

Princess Rex's feelings are even different. She has practiced not only magic since she was a child, but also royal secrets. The bell was originally prepared for her by the emperor, and it probably required the power of three ninth-level magicians. For ordinary magicians, the sound of the bell only improved their cultivation a little bit, but all the power in Princess Rex's body was stimulated by the sound of the bell and tempered repeatedly.

The magicians in the team also felt the benefits, and even the horses they were riding became energetic and sped up.

The envoy smiled bitterly. With your Majesty's actions, all the magicians in the city were considered to have benefited from the princess. He used the strength he had accumulated for ten years to welcome his daughter. Your Majesty, you are wrong.

The bell rang twenty-four times in a row, which not only shocked the envoy, but also everyone in the Holy Rock City. Even the nobles loyal to the emperor were panicked. Your Majesty has always been wise, but for what purpose this time

Salin was a little unsteady on the horse. It was a good thing that his mental power continued to condense, but he couldn't control his body. Nailisi suddenly abandoned her horse, jumped up, landed behind Salin, hugged Salin's waist, and stabilized him.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Nailisi asked anxiously. She felt that something was wrong with Saleen. The connection between the two people's souls fluctuated violently, and it seemed that it was on the verge of collapse.

Salin was speechless. All his spiritual power had entered the goddess's necklace, finally blocking the intrusion of the bell. There is a limit to the endurance of a second-level mage with too much solidified mental power. If he loses his balance, Salin's life may be in danger. This kind of thing has never happened before, and it was the first time Salin encountered it.

In the space of the necklace, the secrets of the arrangement of Figaro's formula were revealed in Salin's heart one by one. He greedily absorbed the knowledge, and the loss of mental power was reduced to the extreme. He was no longer as fragile as before, as if he could be blown by the wind. Blow away.

"Princess, Princess! Salin can't survive." Nellis started crying.
