Chapter 90 [Rumors](2/2)
"No one can enter this room unless I lead myself." Lodell smiled softly.
Chen Daolin didn't say anything, just widened his eyes and looked at the decorations in the room.
There are a lot of bookshelf-like things placed around, but most of the shelves are empty.
There were many weapons hanging on the walls, including swords, swords, battle axes, spears, and some shields.
Made this place more like a weapon showroom.
Chen Daolin walked over casually, looking at the weapons hanging on the walls or on the shelves.
These things don’t look like those exhibitions, but... they look like real guys!
At least the weapons in front of Chen Daolin, the subtle incompleteness on the blade and the blood groove on the sword edge were obviously still some suspicious colors left...
There is also a shield in front of me, which clearly shows various mottled impact marks. Some places have been concave, and some of the badge patterns originally carved on it have been worn out.
These things are definitely the kind of used weapons, and they are full of murderous aura!
"These are all used by my ancestors of the Lister family in the past dynasties." Lodell looked serious and said seriously: "The ancestors of my Lister family have followed the Tulip family for generations, and some have even followed His Highness Duke Du Wei of the first generation of Tulips to the battlefield! These are all weapons used by our ancestors, and they have been stained with the blood of the enemy!"
"...You are a girl's secret room and you have such a strong taste." Chen Daolin couldn't help but complain.
Lodell glanced at him: "This is not my private secret room, but the family's collection room! My father gave me the access and exit rights of this secret room three years ago. Now all the treasures of the family are placed here."
"Treasure Room?" Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but walk in and watch around.
Soon, the row of shelves inside attracted him!
On this shelf, a row of strange statues are displayed...
Yes, statue!
This is a row of statues of warrior armor, but it is not a real thing to one, but a work of art that is created for people to play with and appreciate.
The samurai's armor is gorgeous and beautiful.
There were eleven warriors in total, wearing armor and in different shapes. They were placed on the shelf, and each statue was about the size of a person's fist.
Chen Daolin only took a look and almost exclaimed.
(Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Gemini...)
His eyes swept over one by one, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.
This is clearly the Golden Saint Seiya!!
There are eleven sculptures in total.
And the incomplete one is Leo!
That is... the sculpture left to herself among the relics of Mrs. Stone! The statue of the Leo Golden Saint whom she asked herself to hand it over to Lodell in her last wish!
Chen Daolin's heart moved, turned around, looked at Lodell, pretended to be casual, and pointed to the statues on the shelf: "What are these?"
Lodell looked serious, her eyes shining, and she took a deep breath, and a natural sense of reverence appeared in her tone:
"This... is the invincible Demon Knights who followed His Highness Duke Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip in the past, sweeping the world and facing the invincible ones!"
The Zodiac Palace, the Golden Saint Seiya... The Demon Knights?
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart.
That first generation Tulip Duke, Du Wei, traveling through time... Damn it, he is really good at playing!
...
The Demon Knights, Chen Daolin was not the first one to hear.
During the nightly talks with Du Weiwei, I often heard Du Weiwei mention this name.
It is said that this "Demon Knights" was a powerful group born on this continent a hundred years ago. There are not many members of this Knights, but each one is the confidant of the first Duke of Tulip Du Wei, and the person he trusts the most. Legend has it that every Demon Knight is strong and loyal to the Tulip family.
In the past, this knight group followed Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip, to sweep the world, fight south and north, and killed orcs and elves dwarves and were invincible.
At this moment, what made Chen Daolin speechless was that the time travel senior was indeed very spoof and actually created a complete set of Golden Saint Seiya of the Zodiac.
"Are your Liszt family... also members of the Demon Knights?" Chen Daolin looked at Lodell.
"That... not." Lodell sighed softly: "When I followed Lord Duvey in the past, the rulers of my Liszt family were three women, and they were not good at martial arts, so they were not considered a member of the Demon Knights. However, my Liszt family was strong back then, and the family even managed the manufacturing of military equipment. The strength of the workshop was also top in the world. So, this Demon Knights also have a lot of connection with my Liszt family."
After a pause, her eyes flashed with excitement: "It is said that in the past, the first Duke of Tulip, Lord Du Wei, obtained a batch of precious materials, including the scales of the precious golden dragon, the scales of the ancient dragon and various rare materials. So, Lord Duke was determined to create a batch of powerful equipment to arm the most loyal and brave warriors under his command. My Liszt family has the best and most top weapon craftsmen and manufacturing technology on the mainland. Therefore, the Tulip family and the Liszt family's workshop cooperated to create such a batch of powerful armor! That is, the Demon Knight Armor!"
Chen Daolin forced himself to pull the corner of his mouth.
"After the group of demon knight armor was built, there were also magicians like Du Wei, who were blessed by magicians like Du Wei, and the rare and powerful protection of the dragon scale material, each set of demon knight armor had extremely amazing defense ability and excellent magic defense. Whether from the perspective of defense or magic blessing, each set was a fine product that could make the top strong people jealous! This set of twelve armors were given to the twelve most outstanding loyal warriors under Du Wei's command. The Demon Knight Order formed by them was also known as the most powerful knight order in the empire. Following the Tulip Family, guarding the empire, resisting foreign races, and making great military achievements, and will always be remembered by the history of the Roland Empire."
Speaking of this, Lodell smiled and said, "They know Kaman and Rodriguez IV, they are all descendants of members of the Demon Knights of the Demon Knights. Kaman's ancestor was Lord Longbottom, the first powerful general under the command of the first Duke of Tulip. The ancestor of Rodriguez IV was Rodriguez, the Frost Sword Saint who was famous in the continent in the past. He was a real saint-level powerhouse. By force, he was the top three in strength among the warriors under the Duke of Tulip."
As he said that, Lodell pointed to two of the sculptures on the shelf: "This, and this...is the ancestors of Kaman and Roh's puppy..."
Chen Daolin took a look and found that Kaman's ancestor was wearing Taurus's holy clothes... Is Luo Xiaogou's ancestor? It's Aquarius.
Chen Daolin felt aroused in his heart and tentatively said, "It seems like one item is missing here, right? Why are there only eleven items?"
"Yes... one missing." Lodell said this and sighed softly: "In the past, Lord Tulip founded the Demon Knights, the most powerful knight among them was given the title of "Lion".
Sure enough... is Leo's golden holy cloak?
"The Demon Knight, known as the Lion, was recognized as the strongest knight on the continent in the past. Of course, it was in addition to the Duke of Tulip himself. The knight was strong and had a clear reputation. He was loyal to the Duke of Tulip. He fought for his whole life with his courage and was recognized as the chief knight of the Demon Knights. The most legendary thing is that the knight later received the love of a princess of the Empire, married a princess of the Empire as his wife, and was also the closest to the Tulip family."
"Because of the close relationship between our Liszt family and the Tulip family, and when we built the Demon Knight armor in the past, the Liszt family also made great efforts. So in order to commemorate this great cause, we later invited the top sculpture master of the empire to cast a batch of statues of the Demon Knights to commemorate. These statues were left in the secret room of our family."
When Lodell said this, his expression suddenly became dark: "It's a pity that the original twelve statues, but later... one of them was lost, which was the most precious statue of the "Lion" Knight, who was also the chief knight of the Demon Knights."
"Why... why?" Chen Daolin frowned and said, "After all, the statue is just a statue, not a real holy garment, uh...I mean, it is not a real Demon Knight armor. By the way, ask, where are those real Demon Knight armors now? Is it in the Tulip Family?"
"This...isn't it." Lodell smiled: "You should know that Lord Du Wei, the first Duke of the Tulip Family, retired after he was fifty years old, and retired to the legend of overseas with his family, right?"
"Yeah, I've heard of it." Chen Daolin nodded.
"In the past, those who retired and went abroad with Lord Du Wei were the wife of Lord Du Wei, and in addition, there were those group of demon knights! The legendary heroes of the empire still loyally followed their leaders, as if they were collectively leaving the curtain call. They gave up their glory and wealth in the Roland Empire, and followed the first Duke and left the Roland Empire together and went to a place that no one knew. They still don't know where they are. And the Demon Knight armor was naturally taken away by the knights and did not stay in the Roland Empire. They were not in the Tulip Family."
"Oh." Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this: "But what does this have to do with the loss of the statue of the lion's armor?"
"It has a lot to do." Lodell smiled and said, "For a special reason! I just told you that the identity of the Lion Knight is different from other Demon Knights. The other Demon Knights are just the deployment of the Tulip Family, but the Lion Knight later married a princess of the Empire, and he was considered a member of the royal family. He also left behind and followed the Tulip Family to live in seclusion and leave Roland. But after all, he and the princess also have descendants and stayed on the Roland Continent, and the Lion Knight is the most trusted by the Duke of Tulip. It is said that the Duke of Tulip left the Lion Knight armor, but did not take it away, but... stayed on the Continent of Roland!"
Leo's Golden Holy Clothes? Well, is it the Demon Knight's Lion Armor?
"Where did it be placed? Does it have anything to do with this statue?"
"It's related." Lodell smiled bitterly: "The Lion Knight is honest and selfless. He did not leave the lion armor directly to his descendants or members of the royal family, but hid the armor and hid it in a secret place."
Hearing this, Chen Daolin immediately asked, "Is the place where the treasure is hidden is in the statue of the lion? Is it a treasure map?"
"Of course not." Lodell smiled bitterly, "The problem is here. No one knows where the lion knight's armor is hidden. But this legend has been born, saying that the treasure place of the lion armor is hidden in the lion statue. This statement is actually not credible, because this set of armor statues has been kept in my Liszt family. If there is a treasure map in it, the people of our family would have known it and seen it long ago. We don't know where this rumor comes from. But because of this rumor, the lion statue was targeted by many people. Many years ago, an elder in my family was deceived, and the statue of the lion armor was also lost and did not know where to go. This is also a regret for my Liszt family."
Chen Daolin hesitated in his heart, looking at this... Should he take out the lion statue and return it to the other party directly? Will he be arrested as an enemy?
"That... is just a piece of armor, it's not a great treasure." Chen Daolin thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "The armor of a demon knight, even if you said, was made of dragon scales, and blessed with a very powerful magic... It is a top-notch equipment, but it can't reach the point where people are crazy."
"If it is just a mere Demon Knight armor, although it is extremely precious, it is as you said, it cannot reach the point of being crazy. But it is because... When that armor was left, it is said that when the first Duke of Tulip, Lord Du Wei, also came to an whim and left a piece of other treasures, which were put together with that set of armor! It is said that the treasure left by Lord Duke of Tulip is a real, real-life artifact! That thing is the treasure that really makes people jealous."
Artifact!?
The... artifact left by the first Duke of Tulip himself?!
Chen Daolin couldn't help but his heart beat faster. But he thought about it carefully, and then frowned and said, "I think this kind of legend... I think it seems a bit ridiculous."
Lodell smiled: "It's indeed a bit ridiculous. The descendants of the Tulip Family have been in the Roland Empire. When the first Duke Du Wei left, his descendants continued to be passed down in the empire. Logically speaking, even if the first Duke Du Wei left behind, he should be kept in the Tulip Family. Why do you have to do such a boring thing as deliberately creating a treasure map? So, I also think that this kind of legend is mostly a rumor made up by those boring guys who have nothing to do."
This made sense, and Chen Daolin nodded.
"Unfortunately, there are always many boring stupid people in this world. Such a ridiculous rumor is believed by many people. Over the years, I don't know how many people have been delusional in searching for the so-called "Treasure of the First Duke of Tulips", especially the armor statue of the Lion Knight, which has been decided by many people. But the armor of the Lion Knight was lost by the elders of my family many years ago, which has increased the rumor trend. More and more people believe that the armor statue of the Lion Knight really hides the secret of the treasure. Alas..."
After pausing, Lodell looked a little sad and smiled bitterly: "And because of the loss of the lion statue, my family has always apologized to the descendants of the Lion Knight. Because of the loss of the statue, more and more people believe in the existence of the so-called treasure of the Lion Knight's armor, which has brought a lot of trouble to the descendants of the Lion Knight. Later, my father even hoped that I could marry the descendants of the Lion Knight to make up for the family's apology in this way!"
After saying that, Lodell looked helpless: "Speaking of it, I am the biggest victim of this damn rumor."
Descendants of the Lion Knight?
Chen Daolin smiled.
