Chapter 452 My father is a double dragon knight?
This is a reasonable disguise of the pioneer's appearance by space, and the body is still his own body.
It's just that Lu Chen is a little curious now. He doesn't know what Eriyi looks like now, and whether he will have pointed ears like the elves.
But since Eriyi said he would work hard for a while, he hadn't figured out his situation yet, so he wouldn't talk on the phone over such a trivial matter.
He went to the stream, controlled the blood flow in his body to speed up, and evaporated the water when he was hot. Then he put on the dark aristocratic clothes, which also had the coat of arms of the Howard family, a lion, printed on it.
Lu Chen opened the menu of the space and checked his reputation in this world.
[Mainland reputation: 1024 (original 8503)]
[Tip: This is the reputation value of Duke Godzilla that has been reduced over the years after he committed a crime. There will be additional bonuses for subsequent increases in reputation. 】
[Human Reputation: 2213 (original 10612)]
[Reminder: This is the reputation value after Duke Godzilla killed the Aspect Dragon Egg, and the reputation value was reduced after years of negative rumors in the human race's Keya Empire. Depending on the status of the rumors, the difficulty of subsequent reputation enhancement will fluctuate. 】
Lu Chen mainly looked at the overall reputation of the continent and the reputation of the human race. The reputation of the mainland was not bad, but the hints about the reputation of the human race were somewhat intriguing.
It seems that while Duke Godzilla is away, someone doesn't want him to... return.
Gu Lanting was a very patient lieutenant. He did not rush through the woods to meet the other party, but continued to sort out his identity.
Again, the influencing factors of spatial arrangement and identity can be matched by everyone.
First of all, his bloodline, Duke Godzilla, also has dragon blood, so he is invincible at a young age.
So the question is, where did his dragon blood come from?
The answer is that Duke Godzilla's mother is a... dragon.
The former king of the Keya Empire, King Shenwu was good at fighting. He was not only a powerful warrior, but also a powerful... dragon knight.
This dragon knight is a dragon knight in various aspects.
Years of fighting with his companions gave him feelings he shouldn't have, and his dragon companion turned into a human and happened to be very beautiful...
So when he already had a princess, he and his combat partners first made love...
So strictly speaking, Duke Godzilla is an illegitimate son, or to put it harshly, a mixed-blood bastard, at least that's what the Dragon Clan thinks.
The descendants of humans and dragons are also regarded as taboos. The proud dragons feel that this is a humiliation to them, and the humans feel that it is unreasonable for you as a human to have sex with others, and besides, you are still a monarch.
The astrologers of the empire told King Shenwu that this taboo crystal was ominous, and the Dragon Clan also issued a warning, saying that their prophecies also contained such hints, saying that there would be a human-dragon hybrid guy in the future who would bring disaster to their Dragon Clan, so they asked the Dragon Clan to The Empire pressured the child to be executed.
Because Duke Godzilla was the first child of King Jimmu, he loved him so much that he resisted all opinions and not only did not execute this child with unknown taboos, but even gave him the title of Duke.
Naturally, the Dragon Clan does not want to give up. Most of the Dragon Clan in this world are stubborn and continue to exert pressure and even threaten war.
However, Duke Godzilla's mother took the initiative to return to Dragon Nest to plead guilty, and the final result was suicide. She hoped that the Dragon Clan would not pursue this matter anymore and let her child survive.
King Shenwu was heartbroken when he found out and never visited the Great Wall battlefield again. Under pressure from ministers, he finally gave birth to another child with his princess, the current monarch Kusla Howard.
As if he had completed the mission of the empire and his family, this powerful monarch fell seriously ill because he missed his dragon companion. He died on the hospital bed when Godzilla was sixteen and Kusra was ten.
Before he died, he held Godzilla's hand and said, "Son, don't care too much about other people's opinions. You will prove yourself to the world."
Duke Godzilla inherited his mother's dragon blood. His body is exceptionally strong. He also inherited his father's talent for leading troops in war. He has a smart mind and is simply the most perfect heir to the empire.
However, because of his status as an illegitimate child and the fact that he was a child with unknown taboos, he certainly had no right to inherit the empire, and the throne was passed to his younger brother Kusla.
Before his death, King Kammu was worried and told Godzilla that his younger brother was young and Godzilla was very strong and smart, so he should help his younger brother secure the throne.
Godzilla is a precocious person who has received the best education since he was a child and has the virtue of trustworthiness. He promised his father, assisted his younger brother, and helped him secure the throne in only three years.
As an adult, Godzilla becomes increasingly powerful, as if a chemical reaction has occurred between the blood of the royal family and the blood of the dragon. At only nineteen years old, he already has few rivals in the empire.
It just so happened that the Great Wall was in danger. North of the northern border of the Keya Empire was the Great Wall. Their human race was actually at the forefront of all races geographically.
Whether it is for the continent of Aika or the stability of the empire, we must defend it.
So Duke Godzilla, who was only nineteen years old, took command and went to the battlefield in person. In the first two years, he was familiar with the war with the Abyss. In the third year, he became the president of the frontier army.
He was so good at fighting, and he was from a royal family and had outstanding military talents. It only took him one year to conquer everyone. In the following years of battles, he defeated the Abyss army many times, which made him more popular in the army. Prestige continues to rise.
He only leaves the Great Wall and returns to the royal capital a few times a year, but everyone is afraid of this victorious human duke.
Yes, fear.
Because in the process of helping his younger brother secure the throne, he almost bloodbathed the entire royal capital!
Iron-blooded, cold, and powerful, this is the image of Duke Godzilla in the hearts of people in the royal capital.
After Duke Godzilla made great achievements on the Great Wall, people's impression of the Duke improved.
In the early years, I heard that this unknown child almost went to war with the Dragon Clan. In addition, the people were "superstitious" and they often cursed Duke Godzilla when chatting after meals.
But as Duke Godzilla's heroic deeds spread, and he was indeed guarding mankind and was the soul of the Great Steel Wall, over time, the curse turned into praise, and Duke Godzilla's reputation soared.
Lu Chen roughly sorted out his identity, and felt a little emotional that Duke Godzilla was really a man of his word. He could rebel if he wanted to, but he stayed in jail for twenty years.
He felt that he did not handle this matter properly, but it was only for a small part of the reason. It was hard to say that he felt guilty. Although the guardian dragon had thousands of years of meritorious service in protecting the continent, it was coming to kill his wife. Killing a bunch of brothers in the army makes me unable to hold back my anger.
The main reason is that the Elf Princess returned to the Asiel Forest, and before leaving she said not to look for her again. Feeling sad, Duke Godzilla stayed peacefully in the Camons Dungeon, which could be regarded as adjusting his mentality.
After the Dragon Clan experienced this incident, no giant dragon came out to kill the elf princess. On the one hand, the protection of the Aisil Forest was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was afraid of someone who dared to slay the dragon.
The Dragon Clan is angry, hateful and afraid of Duke Godzilla, and believes that the prophecy is indeed correct, and this forbidden human has indeed brought disaster to the Dragon Clan.
But before the power of Duke Godzilla's army completely dissipated, he could hold back for the time being.
Anyway, they are absolutely immortal species, with lifespans of tens of thousands of years, so they can afford it.
Now twenty years have passed, the mainland is turbulent, and Duke Godzilla's reputation has plummeted. For ordinary people, whose natural life span is only fifty or sixty years, twenty years is enough to forget someone.
And for some reason, there are still people who have been spreading unfavorable rumors about him, slandering him, and making his reputation continue to decrease.
Who could that person be?
A cold smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips and he walked out. He had already thought of several possibilities.
"Duke, where are you going next?"
Seeing that the Duke had finished washing, Gu Lanting stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Lu Chen looked at the desolate wilderness and said, "Let's take a look at the northern border first."
In addition to not depriving him of his title, this trial also deprived him of everything else that could be deprived, such as the most important military power.
So even though he was released from prison, he basically has nothing now except for a background story and a personal identity.
Even Gu Lanting in front of him took the initiative to follow him just because he respected him.
After Duke Godzilla was imprisoned, Gurantin also resigned from his position in the military and is now considered an unemployed vagrant.
The knight's uniform, armor and sword he carries are still old items that he used as a spare when he was in the army. Because many people in the army are familiar with him, he does not check this kind of contraband and turns a blind eye. One eye.
"yes."
After Gu Lanting finished speaking, he stood next to the Duke, obviously wanting to wait for the commander to point out the marching target.
The slightly chilly wind of late autumn blew by, and a few withered leaves fell on Lu Chen's shoulders. He looked at the sky with floating clouds.
It's so... desolate.
Duke Godzilla, who was once a military god, a guardian of mankind, and whose empire was at its peak. After being released from prison, only his former confidants were left by his side.
The two of them once made great military exploits for the mainland, guarded the Great Wall, and fought bloody battles.
Can……
Lu Chen looked at Gu Lanting, a man in neat but shabby clothes. He looked at his slightly sunken eyes and his thin face that was different from the memory, "Gu Lanting..."
Gu Lanting stood at attention, full of energy, "Here!"
"You are old..."
Lu Chen felt a little emotional. In his memory, this adjutant looked as young as himself.
The yin and yang spiritual eyes were released on Gu Lanting.
[Determining... The Pioneer's mental attributes are higher than those of the opponent, and more detailed information can be obtained. 】
After the judgment was passed, he saw the opponent's current data.
【Gurantin Ogle】
Constitution: 72 points (-10)
Strength: 70 points (-10)
Agility: 70 points (-10)
Spirit: 51 points (-10)
Charisma: 23 points (-10)
Lucky:? ? ?
Current status: Weak, all attributes -10.
Passive skill: Military Soul
Skill function: When fighting with the Great Wall Army, all attributes +2
Passive skill: Veteran of many battles
Skill function: Life source value upper limit +50%
…
There are also some active skills below, which are all combat skills mastered by Gu Lanting. The specialization ability cannot be seen because his mental attributes are not high enough.
But Mu Yong questioned that his adjutant... was very strong.
His current attributes are still in a weak state. If he returns to his peak, his main attribute will be over 80 points. In this world, he will definitely belong to the strong.
Come to think of it, how could the adjutant of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces be a weakling?
"The Duke is disappointed."
Gu Lanting has white hair on his head and some wrinkles on his forehead. He is sixty years old this year, but considering his strength, he really shouldn't look older.
He thought the Duke was scolding him for slacking off in martial arts over the years, and he felt a little guilty.
"I'm not disappointed. I'm glad you came to pick me up."
Lu Chen felt that his adjutant was too rigid, "Tell me, why are you like this? Who asked you to bring the ring?"
Gulantin also seemed to be standing in a military posture when he spoke, "The ring was brought to me by the Marquis of Karls. You also know that when he was still in the army, he admired you very much. He said that since your title does not If it is cancelled, then the Howard family ring should be put on again.”
Seeing that the Duke didn't speak, he continued to talk about his own affairs, "There is a famine in the north now. I gave up all the food to the villagers. I haven't eaten for a long time and I am just a little exhausted."
Lu Chen looked at Gu Lanting. He felt that the other party had not told everything. The other party's behavior was not caused by not eating for several days. It was obviously caused by long-term losses and weakness.
Seeing the Duke staring at him, Gurantin hesitated and said: "These years have not been very good. The famine has lasted for many years. I have no land, and I don't want to work for the empire anymore. Since I retired early, the subsidy is only five years, and I am also The local governor deducted a lot of money..."
Lu Chen understood a little when he heard this. The co-author was that veterans could no longer be employed, and then the subsidies were not available. In addition, the other party's hometown was in the north. During the famine, he had been malnourished for many years.
Although people in this world can practice fighting qi and magic, they are not as good as those in the immortal novels he read. Magic cultivators are okay. The more powerful the fighting qi cultivator is, the more food and nutrients he needs to maintain his physical condition. .
If a strong man of Gu Lanting's level does not have enough to eat and is malnourished, it will indeed lead to weakness.
He didn't believe that such a strong person could not find a good job, but the other party might be holding a breath in his heart and no longer wanted to eat from the empire. His martial arts skills only wanted to serve the person he respected the most.
"Consultation? Didn't you ask your former brothers for help?"
Lu Chen frowned. Even if Gu Lanting retired, he was once a big boss. People in the army would help him to some extent.
As for face? To be honest, if it is just because of my lack of ability, maybe it is embarrassing to speak out, but for this kind of aggrieved thing, tell my old brother, whoever will laugh at you will definitely go directly to the consul's house and hold him by the collar. Paid the money.
Anyway, in Lu Chen's memory of Duke Godzilla, the army he led at that time was very aggressive and attached great importance to the friendship between the two.
Gu Lanting explained: "Most of the former brothers... have gradually retired from the army after you were imprisoned. Now there is a group of new generals on the other side of the Great Wall."
Lu Chen was thoughtful, thinking that these people are confused. With this tone, they have all retired from the army. There is no one in the army, so wouldn't they be allowed to be manipulated by others?
Now he doesn't need to ask why Gu Lanting is the only one who came to pick him up. It is estimated that most of the old brothers in the past were not doing well, and he couldn't take care of it.
The empire is also very interesting. It must not only be those who voluntarily retire. Most of the former Duke Godzilla's faction has been purged in the past twenty years, and the army has returned to the royal power.
If attacking Duke Godzilla would have caused a mutiny twenty years ago, not so much now.
