Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Silver Moon Treasure Diamond, Swordsmanship Family
Clang——
The newborn dawn sprinkled bright light, shining on the bustling Elisium City, accompanied by the long, deep chime of a bell. A procession like a dragon moved, with flags fluttering like a forest, entering through the slowly opening city gates.
As the first Earth Dragon Cart, pulled by two Land Dragons, passed through the gate, twelve Cloud Giants on both sides blew brass horns to the sky. A shower of colorful fresh petals fell, accompanied by the joyful laughter of Little Fairies. However, this was soon drowned out by the horn blasts.
On both sides of the road, guards clad in armor and draped in ceremonial robes formed a human wall, segregating the curious citizens, farmers, merchants, and adventurers, preventing them from disrupting order, but not stopping their chatter.
"What tall giants!"
"Well, they wouldn’t be called giants otherwise, would they?"
"So majestic!"
The gaze of ordinary townsfolk, even the seasoned merchants, did not linger on the guards, who were dressed more luxuriously than usual. Even the imposing Knights couldn’t capture their attention, as the Cloud Giants were simply too striking, difficult to ignore.
"If only I could hire two giants, then my merchant caravan would pass unimpeded wherever it goes."
"Unless you could afford a whole regiment of the Knight Order, don’t even dream about it."
"If I could afford a Knight Order, why would I still be a merchant?"
The merchants had a different focus; compared to the ordinary folk’s amazement, they were contemplating how to profit from this formidable, little-known species, even if these giants could crush them underfoot.
"I wonder what these giants usually eat or use? If we could figure that out, we might be able to trade with them."
"I’ve heard that Cloud Giants are skilled in crafting magic weapons and can also produce exquisite silk goods. If we could buy some, plenty of Noble Masters would pay dearly for them."
Unlike these lower and middle classes, the Nobles gathered on high towers at the street’s end had different focuses and thoughts,
"Is this the Fitzroy family’s procession? Even though it’s sizable, isn’t it rather paltry for a Duke family?"
"Indeed, quite paltry. Look closely; they barely meet the regulations in numbers. In actuality, count how many of their famed Silver Winged Knights the Fitzroy family has sent?"
"Seems like only twenty. I remember three years ago, another noble lady from the Fitzroy family married and they dispatched sixty Silver Winged Knights to escort her, and that was to marry a mere Marquis."
"What is the Fitzroy family thinking? Provoking the Augustus family on such an occasion? I recall their legend has been missing for a long time."
"Hehe, you might not know, but the fact they sent out the Silver Winged Knights indicates the Fitzroy family does take this marriage seriously; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to send even one."
At this moment, a noble envoy smiled smugly, attracting the attention of many lower Nobles, while the high Nobles either barely glanced over or closed their eyes to rest disdainfully. Many secret events were open secrets to them, understood with utmost clarity.
"What secret do you know?"
"Quick, tell us."
"The noble lady marrying into the Augustus family is indeed the granddaughter of the current Fitzroy Duke, but her status is rather awkward because her father married a Royal Princess, but she wasn’t born of that Princess..."
The envoy, who revealed the secret, ended there, saying no more, but everything that needed saying had already been said. The numerous lower Nobles, having sought out this secret, were now fully in the know.
The Fitzroy legend was no longer, even likely fallen, while the Royal Family held two legends openly, and the most pivotal one was a Spellcaster. How domineering and arrogant would that Princess who married into the Fitzroy family be? It was entirely imaginable.
"Given this, this marriage alliance shouldn’t fall to this noble lady, should it? That Princess also has a daughter!"
"That’s because the Augustus family spoke up. When the Legendary Duke speaks, who could refuse this lady known as the Silver Moon Treasure Diamond?"
"Silver Moon Treasure Diamond? I seem to have heard that nickname somewhere."
"I have an impression too. I recall it involves a rather poignant love story, describing the romance of a Duke’s son and a distant High Silver Moon Elf.
The story’s ending is not a happy one. When my wife and daughter first heard it, they cried their eyes swollen. It took me a long time to comfort them."
"Many plot elements in that story are fictional, but the main characters are real. The Silver Moon Treasure Diamond refers to the daughter they had."
When a high Noble spoke up, silence spread instantly.
"From today, this title will hold new meaning,"
Someone broke the silence with a voice filled with emotion.
"So, she’s a Half-Elf of human and High Elf descent, no wonder."
The golden cat listening from the sidelines left the gathering of Nobles, leaping to the eaves of the rooftop, gazing at the slowly advancing procession, locking onto the most magnificent Earth Dragon Cart, then plunging down.
Like an ocelot, the agile and nimble figure disappeared mid-air, transforming into a state invisible to mortal eyes.
Second Rings, Invisibility Technique
Noah weaved through the streets and alleys, striding swiftly. The breeze he stirred made the Silver Winged Knights guarding the caravan glance alertly, but this was a city, where the factors disrupting perception were plenty.
Whoosh!
The dexterous cat pushed aside the bead-laden curtain, barging into the carriage within, and immediately saw a tall and elegant silver-haired girl sitting upright. She wore a noble ceremonial long dress, her head full of shining silver hair neatly pinned, highlighting her fair neck, exuding unmatched grace and elegance.
The Golden Dragon scarcely had time to marvel at the young girl’s beauty, no less than that of the High Elves, when she reached out and pulled out a hairpin from her head, her smooth long hair cascading down like a waterfall.
The girl, just now poised and elegant like a Deep Palace Princess, suddenly exuded an aura as fierce as a drawn sword. The Second Rings Magic Noah had cast was instantly dispelled, revealing his form. The hairpin in the girl’s hand paused an inch before Noah’s eyes, and the burning flame extinguished.
"Noah?"
Waves emerged in the girl’s bright eyes as she looked at the pretty little cat with vertical pupils turning a violet-gold hue, tentatively calling out.
"You know me?"
Already shocked by the girl’s reaction, Noah was now even more astonished.
"Tidel often mentions you in his letters to me, also describing your current transformative form."
The girl replied.
"What a reserved fellow!"
Noah couldn’t help but curse internally.
