A clear river divides the two banks. The river flows slowly, and you can see many fish swimming in the clear water.
Feng Ye's figure appeared on the river bank and walked forward along the river bank with a peaceful expression.
Looking straight ahead in the direction he was walking, he saw a forest that looked full of life and full of trees. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant among the trees. And further forward, he could see open flat areas with mountains on them.
Dotted with buildings.
Keep looking forward.
Looking past a dozen such towns, what you can finally see is a huge frozen palace, majestic and towering.
There is the center of the Invisible Empire, also known as Silver Shelf City!
"How derelict of your duty to let the enemy develop under your nose for nearly a thousand years and develop it to such a scale... Genryu Sai Shigekuni Yamamoto."
Fengye strolled along the river, retracted his gaze towards Yinjia City, and spoke with a sigh in his voice.
Thousands of years ago, the Gotei Thirteen were headed by Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni. Almost most of the first-generation captains were as powerful as Unohana Retsu.
With such power, they finally defeated the Quincy.
But after that, the Quincy relied on the ability of the Shadow Realm to escape to the shadow of the Serenitei to survive, and the Gotei Thirteen were almost unaware of this.
Just like that, the Quincy was allowed to develop under his nose, in the shadow of Jing Ling Ting, for nearly a thousand years, and opened up such a huge world.
The current spatial scope of the invisible empire,
It’s even bigger than the Spirit King’s Palace!
The people living here are all pure-blooded Quincy. Thousands of years ago, there were only a small number of them left, but now, the number has become very large.
The Knights of the Star Cross are not just the Knights of the Star Cross here. The Knights of the Star Cross are the most outstanding ones among the Quincy, who were selected and received the gift of Yhwach.
There are countless ordinary Quincies here.
In fact, it was through this that Yhwach gradually recovered.
The huge Quincy Empire will select a part of the Quincy for sacrifice every once in a while, converting their life and power into nourishment for Yhwach's resurrection.
Just as Fengye was walking forward step by step along the river bank, thinking as he walked, there was a loud noise from the woods ahead.
It sounded like a chase.
Whizzing!!
I saw a deer hurriedly rushing out of the woods and fleeing towards the grassland.
At about this time, a girl on horseback ran out of the woods, holding a crossbow in her hand, aiming at the prey from a distance, and then shot the arrow.
The radiant spirit arrow flew out of the air, traced a perfect trajectory in the air, accurately focused on the deer that was escaping in a hurry, and shot through its body.
"As expected of the eldest lady, you are already so skilled at controlling the spirit arrows."
Many attendants on horseback and uniformly dressed followed closely from behind. When they saw the girl shooting the fleeing deer, the leader immediately spoke with a compliment.
The girl gently raised her chin, showed a confident smile, and said: "Of course, I will become a Star Cross Knight in the future!"
In the Invisible Empire, everyone is a pure-blood Quincy. However, due to the purity level of their bloodline and their different talents and abilities, not many people can become knights and are qualified to stand out among many knights.
Even fewer become knight captains.
And standing at the apex of all knights, and the ultimate goal of all Quincy, is the Star Cross Knight!
Every Star Cross Knight is an existence recognized by the Quincy King Yhwach, and represents the highest glory among the Quincy!
"With the purity of the eldest lady's bloodline and talent, she will definitely be recognized by His Majesty."
Several attendants at the back continued to compliment him.
The conditions for becoming a Star Cross Knight are extremely demanding. If the blood purity is divided according to levels, it can be roughly divided into six levels. Only the highest level can directly become a Star Cross Knight.
As for the second level, which is slightly lower, you need to pass various extremely strict assessments and show your truly outstanding talents before you have the opportunity to become a Star Cross Knight.
As for the lower level, it will never be possible.
Because among the Star Cross Knights, there has never been anyone whose bloodline level is lower than the second level.
The Bambietta family is a high-ranking noble in the invisible empire. The blood talents of the members of the family are generally above the fourth level. The eldest daughter of this generation, Bambietta Basta, has not appeared in marriage for a long time.
Second-class bloodline purity!
There is someone who hopes to become a Star Cross Knight!
Because of this, she is also the most valued person in the family. Even though she has not yet become a formal knight, she still has a very high status in the family, and she is even enough to execute them with just one word!
Step, step, step,
Bambietta rode her horse to the deer she had shot, and was about to jump off the horse to inspect her prey, but at this moment, she was suddenly surprised.
Looking unnaturally towards the river bank not far away, I saw a young man in very noble clothes walking along the river bank on the other side of the river.
"Huh."
"A bit handsome."
Bambietta looked at the figure and tilted her head, then blinked, jumped off the horse, ignored her prey, and walked straight to the river.
Fengye noticed Bambietta and others not far away, but didn't pay much attention to them. He continued to walk forward. After taking two steps, he heard a sound coming from the other side of the river.
"Hello, hello!"
Bambietta looked at Feng Ye across the river bank, showed a smile, and said: "I am Bambietta Basta, what is your name?"
Feng Ye stopped and responded calmly:
"Maple Night."
"Don't be so cold."
Bambietta smiled cutely, jumped up, lightly jumped over the river bank, and landed not far from Feng Ye, and said: "Why don't you say your last name? You don't look like you are from a commoner family."
Fengye said casually: "Of course."
Bambietta looked at Feng Ye. She could tell that the clothes on Feng Ye should be very luxurious and precious, but she had never seen them before, and she did not see any medals belonging to knights on Feng Ye.
Bambietta made a half circle around Feng Ye, came to the front of Feng Ye, looked at Feng Ye and asked: "Are you a knight?"
"no."
Fengye also looked at Bambietta.
If I remember correctly, with this name and surname, the girl in front of me should be one of the future Knights of the Star Cross under Yhwach, the one who was finally defeated by the Komamura Left Front?
He still looks very young now.
"Not a knight?"
Bambietta was slightly surprised.
Feng Ye was not surprised or nervous at all when he heard her last name. In addition to her clothing and appearance, she should be a member of a noble family. Moreover, Feng Ye should be older than her, about twenty years old. She should be at this age.
You have to become a knight.
Moreover, Fengye is from a noble family, and there is no possibility that the purity of his bloodline is too low. There will be no resistance to becoming an ordinary knight, so the only explanation is that Fengye did not participate in the knight's assessment.
"Did you not take the assessment? Why."
Bambietta asked strangely.
There are very few Quincies who are unwilling to become knights. Becoming a knight to serve Friend Habach should be the belief of every Quincy, and they have been taught this way since childhood.
Fengye glanced at Bambietta, smiled softly, and said, "I've been asking you since the beginning, are we familiar with each other?"
"Hey."
Bambietta chuckled, showed a smile, and said: "You are really weird. You answered so many questions even though you are not familiar with them. However, there are actually Quincy who are unwilling to become knights and serve His Majesty. This is still my first time.
Once we meet, anyone who thinks like this should become a sacrifice to sacrifice their lives and souls for His Majesty."
In the Invisible Empire, those who are unwilling to become knights or serve Yhwach will be regarded as disloyal to Yhwach, and such beings are often chosen as the annual sacrifice at the first opportunity, using them
life and soul to help Yohabach recover faster.
Before Feng Ye could say anything, Bambietta looked at him again and continued: "But you are so handsome, it would be a pity to become a sacrifice. If you choose to become my subordinate obediently, I will not sacrifice you."
How about sending it as a sacrifice?"
Those who are not loyal to Yhwach and are unwilling to serve Yhwach will be punished even if they are nobles. If Fengye is not a noble, it will be easier. As the eldest lady of the Bambietta family, she will naturally
Can control ordinary civilian Quincy at will.
"Is this a threat?"
Feng Ye smiled.
Bambietta stood about two meters away and looked at him. Several attendants had already come to stand on the other side of the river. She smiled softly and said: "That's right."
"Then, I refuse."
Feng Ye responded with a slight smile on his face.
The corners of Bambietta's mouth slightly raised, and her hands gently lowered. A little bit of spirit energy gathered in her hands, and she looked at Feng Ye and said, "It's a pity that you made the wrong choice."
