Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

But for Rhine, it was even more deadly.

No one in the palace wanted to cause trouble with the Imperial Army.

But there are many ambitious people who covet the Crystal Seat and want to get rid of the prince and replace it.

Constance knew very well that Hela would do this deal with anyone. She was willing to come to Constance first. Considering this woman's temper, she was quite kind.

However, Constance did not expect that

Hela is more kind than she imagined!

Forget it, I know your equipment is not rich, so be it, I don't want your sword anymore,

Hela shrugged:

Then I can only go to Italaine to ask for money. She is the biological sister of His Highness Rhine. She should be happy to help her brother make money and eliminate disasters, right?

Forget it, someone will die.

well……

Constance was a little helpless.

finally,

She reluctantly gave in.

The mithril ceremonial sword tempered with dragon soul was taken off from the waist by Constance and placed on the table.

Take it away.

Chapter 18 The value of being reincarnated for a thousand lives

As the heir to the Rhine Empire, the palace prepared the highest quality educational resources for Rhine.

Although Rhine in the first life was a fool, at least he still had common sense.

As the future emperor, it is impossible for him to be ignorant.

So for most of her classes, Rhine studied hard.

Any combat-related courses are excluded.

Be it magic, swordsmanship, or equestrianism, Rhine was unwilling to put in any effort.

the reason is simple.

In Rhine, even a fool knows that the Forbidden Army is the country's main export force. In this country where the conventional army lacks performance - what's the use of an emperor practicing swordsmanship in Rhine?

No matter how ferocious he practices, can he be more ferocious than the imperial guards who protect him?

However, in today's swordsmanship class, Rhine couldn't fish.

Because of Rhine's swordsmanship lessons, a new teacher was hired.

That's a big shot.

The Duke of the Empire, the Marshal of the Northern Army, the swordsmanship teacher of two generations of the Forbidden Army, and known as the strongest mortal swordsman in the empire - the Norman Archduke.

The Grand Duke of the Empire, who is nearly half a century old, is still in peak condition due to the tempering of magic and martial arts. Not only does he have a large number of troops, but he also has a friendly relationship with the Imperial Guards. The faction he leads is also one of the political forces in the Hein Empire. One pole.

For such a big guy,

Even if he is a prince, he has to smile and try to please the old man.

Hitching a ride with the Imperial Guard Hela, the Norman Archduke retreated from the front line and returned to the imperial capital to rest.

And taking advantage of this opportunity,

After discussing with the Queen, the Grand Duke decided to teach the prince swordsmanship for a period of time.

The Grand Duke’s intentions were good.

The Duke of Normandy has been an upright soldier since he was a child. Now that the queen is sick and weak, the Prince of Rhine is the legal successor and will also be the object of his allegiance.

Then the Duke of Normandy should naturally have more contact with the prince and establish a trusting relationship.

as well as,

The Norman Grand Duke also hoped that he could teach the young prince. After all, the current Prince of Rhine's style was really... a bit unlike a king.

Then, before starting the lesson, Your Highness, please try to defeat me once.

Archduke Norman smiled and said: Don't be stressed, Your Highness, I will take care of it.

However,

When the Grand Duke and the Prince came to the playground where they usually train, after both parties took on the edgeless training swords...

The Grand Duke’s world view suddenly collapsed!

Theoretically speaking, as the prince's new teacher, Grand Duke Norman does not yet know the prince's level, so he should first compete with the prince for two games to see the prince's strength.

However, the prince's fighting power brutally shattered the grand duke's outlook on life!

Zheng——!

The training sword came out of his hand, and the Prince held the sword against the Duke of Norman's throat.

Again…

The battle ends the moment it begins.

The Grand Duke's eyes trembled and his face twitched. He looked at the prince in horror and began to stutter when he spoke:

Why did I lose again? Your Highness...did you use magic?

Rhine replied: No, just ordinary swordsmanship.

The Grand Duke was very broken: Then why...your speed...is so fast?!

Rhine: I just walked the shortest distance to draw the sword,

The Grand Duke asked in a trilling tone: You mean... a straight line?

Rhine, who has experienced a thousand reincarnations and has mastered swordsmanship to the point of becoming a god by relying on ten thousand years of free time, shook his head calmly.

no.

Chapter 19: Entering the upper world and pulling out the power cord of order

A thousand reincarnations are too long.

In this world of abnormal difficulty, Rhine constantly experienced death and rebirth. In each life, in addition to desperately looking for ways to break the situation, he would also spend the rest of his time cultivating some small hobbies to relieve stress.

For example, practice swordsmanship.

Another example is magic, or other alien fighting skills...

And most of the time, he would practice these skills to the extreme, until there was no possibility of further improvement.

If he wants to practice martial arts with an emphasis on efficiency, then it is definitely not a good choice to stick to one skill at any cost and time.

But Rhine only did this as a pastime and didn't mind how much time it took. But even so... he still learned many skills.

With this ability, if Rhine had the strength of a demigod, ten forbidden troops would not be able to defeat him, and he would be able to directly enter the upper divine realm, and she would be able to unplug the power cord of order.

However, allowing the talentless Rhine to obtain power comparable to that of the demigod imperial army was actually much more troublesome than killing the goddess of order.

So in the end, Rhine's swordsmanship can only increase the favorability of the 50-year-old swordsman in the arena and obtain some anecdotes that can increase his reputation.

Putting away his weapon, Rhine helped the shocked old marshal aside and chatted with the old marshal for a while.

The Grand Duke came to teach Rhine swordsmanship. His ultimate goal was to deepen his relationship with the future emperor, and then Rhine would naturally fulfill his purpose.

He patiently explained to the Grand Duke the principles of the sword strike just now.

Although the old man didn't understand, he was deeply shocked.

And when the Grand Duke asked with lingering fear, how did Rhine's swordsmanship become so sharp.

Rhine smiled and explained.

Rhine said that it was probably because his Crystal God bloodline had awakened, and now his martial arts all came from the inheritance of the goddess.

As soon as these words came out, the way the Grand Duke looked at Lain suddenly changed.

It was a look that was mixed with expectations, faith and admiration.

Prince Rhine...received a gift from the Crystal God?

His Highness is indeed the chosen emperor!

At this moment, the old Grand Duke saw hope in this dandy prince, the hope of the empire!

ha……

And Rhine murmured in his heart.

In Hein, this rhetoric is indeed the most effective.

.

night.

After a day of study, it was time for Rhine to take a rest.

Usually at this time, Rhine would send a beautiful noble lady an invitation letter to the palace in advance, or simply visit her to spend a spring night together.

But at this moment, Rhine has lost interest in this.

Instead of looking for a woman, he came to the sanctuary.

According to the rules of the temple, the royal family must come to the temple regularly every day to pray to the Order of the Crystal Goddess.

Today, Rhine rarely obeyed the rules.

Entering the temple, Rhine saw a huge statue of the goddess grown from silver-white crystals.

And the white-haired girl kneeling in front of the statue, praying quietly.

Your Highness. Constance noticed Rhine's visit and called Rhine gently as a greeting.

Rhine nodded in response. Although Constance's back was turned to him, he knew that Constance could see it.

The two stood in silence in front of the statue.

Since a long time ago, the two of them have not had any decent communication.

After Constance was taken away by the church that day, she no longer smiled at Rhine. Her cold eyes seemed strange and biting to Rhine back then.

But even so, everything that happened today still made it clear to Rhine that Constance's feelings for him had never changed.

suddenly.

Rhine's eyes fell on Constance's waist.

Rhine was stunned for a moment.

Constance, where is your sword?

Chapter 20 The evil god of tools, giving away equipment online

I made a deal with Hela.

quiet church,

Faced with Rhine's question, Constance's answer was very concise.

Yeah.

After getting the answer, Rhine did not continue to ask.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two stopped talking.

Rhine raised his head and glanced at the magnificent goddess statue again.

The long-haired goddess Order holds a crystal gun in her hand, with magic crystal dust floating around her. She looks down at all living beings in awe, with a heroic and holy appearance.

Even if it is just a statue, it has a sacredness that makes pagans bow down and worship at just one glance...

Behind the Crystal Goddess, there is also a monument.
