Chapter 31 The Grand Dukes I Know
? "Will the great masters of Yitnell come in every day's Selection ceremony?" Robin turned around and asked Jiexi in a low voice.
The other party smiled slightly.
"It's generally like this," she replied, "after all, it's a big event about the future of the Kingdom."
"And, not only the great lords will come, but the main priests of the divine associations in various territories will come to celebrate." Jiexi glanced at the hall.
There were already many local priests wearing white robes sitting next to Kalista.
Robin knew none of them.
He couldn't help but feel a headache when he remembered the conflict between the temple and the local gods that Kalista mentioned before.
"You will have a chance to get to know them later." As if seeing Robin's thoughts, Jiexi replied understandingly.
"As for speaking of it, they should have wanted to come to see you, the future heir of the God Envoy, and at the same time determine your future boss and enemy." Jiexi smiled faintly, "It should have been stopped by Lord Carista, so it has been dragged until today."
"Yeah." Robin nodded.
After all, he needs time to prepare.
Whether it is identity, language, or ability, it takes time.
Of course, Kalista would not let these local priests catch his handle.
But until now, when it was the day when the Chosen Ones ceremony was held, Robin still felt that he was not ready enough.
"Seven Grand Dukes, according to the invitation sent by His Majesty the King, there should be five Grand Dukes coming." Jiexi continued.
Five?
Robin looked at her in confusion.
Logically speaking, only Rosalinde has to defend the Frost Fortress, why are there only five people?
So is there any other great guild absent from the Selected Ceremony?
"Grand Duke Rosalinde has the responsibility to stick to the northern border." Jiexi explained, "She cannot come, but she asks me to convey a word to you,"
The king's courtier smiled slightly, "She said you will be a good choice and shoulder the future of the kingdom."
The image of a middle-aged female knight with thick braids appeared in Robin's mind. Although her face was covered with wrinkles, it was inexplicably relieved.
"Then please help me convey it. Thank you, Grand Duke Rosalind. I still remember what I said in the Frost Fortress and I will never forget it. I will also work hard to do my own thing well, hoping to become a qualified chosen one."
Jiexi nodded with relief after hearing Robin's words.
"It will definitely help you convey it, Lord Robin."
She paused and looked at Robin with a hint of longing, "And, I think you may be as great as the oracle of Secred. Your magical attainments will make you shine in Itnair and become a hero to be praised by later generations."
Robin was slightly stunned, and then smiled awkwardly.
"Don't have too much hope for me. I didn't expect to go so far. I just need to improve my abilities first."
"I believe you, Lord Robin, as long as you work hard enough and persevere, you will succeed." Jiexi responded eagerly.
Robin smiled and said nothing.
"Oh, by the way, you said you would attend the five great masters before, so who else would be absent?" Robin raised his head and looked at Jiexi.
"Well..."
Jiexi's eyes were filled with mist, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
"In the end, it might be a good thing that she doesn't attend. It's better not to see her."
"What does this mean?"
"That grand duke, to His Majesty the King..." Jiexi was halfway through his words, and suddenly raised her head and her eyes fell below the stairs.
Robin followed her gaze and walked slowly up the white stone steps of the temple.
The other party's hair was snow-white and neatly placed behind her head. She was wearing a gray dress.
She held a silver cane in her hand, with complex patterns carved on the front of the cane, and a bird's beak appeared on the front.
The visitor straightened his upper body and walked up from the stairs with a smile.
Behind her, four or five guards were followed closely.
"This is Gwen Rodney, the old duke from Glory." Jiexi whispered in Robin's ear.
He was slightly stunned. During this period of history class, he heard more than once about the reputation of the glorious Duke of Lengwen.
The Glory is adjacent to the San Beta Territory and is also located in the western front of the kingdom.
In other words, defending the Fengyi people from the Western Wilderness became their greatest responsibility.
The Rodney family has not allowed the Wind Wings to step into the kingdom for hundreds of years.
During the period when Duke Gwen was in charge of the glory leader, she became famous because she led the twenty-three glory knights into the Western Wilderness to capture the King of the Wind Wingers alive.
That happened six years ago, and Duke Gwen was already sixty-four years old.
This is even more incredible.
Now the seventy-year-old Duke Gwen is standing on the temple platform, holding a cane in his right hand and leaning on the floor. The corner of her mouth gasps slightly, and then smiles with relief.
"It seems that my old bone is not that useless."
It's not just what she said, it's so tough.
Robin sighed slightly, you should know that the temple has 117 steps from the first gate to here. It is already a miracle that the old duke can get here before he can breathe much.
"Duke Gwen, you are stronger than a dragon horned cow."
A young voice floated from below the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, a long red hair appeared in Robin's sight.
It was an extremely young and energetic face.
The other party's eyebrows were flying and she was wearing a bright red dress. She did not wear a long skirt, but trousers and shirt.
The white collar of the chest drooped to the chest.
Apart from his bulging breasts, his other outfits look like a gentleman.
This also adds an indescribable charm to the young man.
Robin's eyes couldn't help but stayed on her face for two more seconds.
Jiexi was slightly stunned and quickly whispered in Robin's ear, "That is Aiden Valen, the Grand Duke of Sunrise from the East."
From previous history classes, Robin learned that before Martyda had not succeeded as Duke, the Duke of Aiden was the youngest surviving grand duke in the kingdom.
She inherited the title of Grand Duke of Sunrise at the age of eleven, and she is only sixteen years old.
Compared with other great dukes, the Duke Aiden in front of him seemed more energetic and energetic.
Robin couldn't help but frown.
In his mind, Matida looked like a little adult.
If that child is not tired of life and the environment, he should have become more lively.
It is rumored that Duke Aiden is young and energetic, unruly, and has all the tempers and temperaments that young people should have. Not only did she go through more than 30 days of sailing alone, she also defeated a group of pirates in the East Sea, and even reached the territory of the Holy Blood Empire of the East Land.
Just when Sunrise Township thought that the young grand duke was buried at the sea and was having a headache about choosing his heirs, the grand duke returned successfully.
It also brought a lot of precious goods.
Of course there are also a lot of rags.
Duke Aiden collected the souvenirs mixed with ragged ones in his manor, and took them out to boast about it from time to time.
Among them is the bone of a pirate's hand and the head of a vampire to show that she has truly arrived in Donglu, rather than saying a big talk after wandering around the sea.
Duke Aiden stepped forward and walked to Duke Gwen, and the two greeted each other politely, and then walked towards Robin together.
"I guess you are the legendary chosen one who can use magic, right?"
The old duke looked at Robin and smiled slightly.
