Chapter 289: Sudden Fall (3)

Flore?"

Faced with the three words on the hilt of the sword, Susan couldn't believe it. She thought again of the booklet she had just closed and the knife that was as short as a dagger. First, Susan cleaned the dagger first. Unexpectedly, after rubbing in the water, the short knife looked particularly dazzling.

Staring at the dagger, Susan was stunned for a moment. It was a delicately crafted personal weapon, with a double-edged and meniscus-shaped blade, and words in the form of incantations engraved on both sides. One of the sides reads: Raise the blade high and summon the gods. On the other side, it is written: If it is freedom, glory is gained.

"So, is the owner of the dagger a good man?"

It is clear that the dagger came from a secret meeting. Susan had only heard of it, but had never actually seen the weapon used to swear in Veron's "Freedom Project". To find out more, Susan took a closer look. However, on the hilt, there was only a detailed Bloody Blade Sword insignia, and there was no other writing at all.

Pinning the knife to her left waist, Susan unfastened the leather clasp of the booklet. On the first page, a name is written. It's a pity that the name has a tail but no head. However, this is strange. The surname of the owner of this booklet is the same as that of the owner of the great sword, and the text written on the side of the booklet is the same as on the dagger.

Since the owner of the greatsword and the owner of the shortsword are both from the Flore family, why is there a fight here? Susan couldn't help but think of Elrith as she looked at the gap in the shortsword that had been slashed by the greatsword.

Iris is the Flore family from Knights. Originally, the Flore family occupied a position that could not be ignored in the knight city. It can even be said that the Flore family controls half of the knight city. However, Susan was not thinking of the Irrith family, but of the Floret family, who spoke more forcefully.

After a moment's pause, Susan continued to look down. In this palm-sized booklet, there is not a record of the glory of the Flore family, but a conspiracy in which the Flore family participated. This made Susan really worried. She couldn't believe her eyes, but on the last page there was a list with a vague handwriting.

In addition to the people who hold real power, there is also Elris's family, that is, Mr. Flore. Once, Elles told Susan about the bad past, but none of them mentioned that Mr. Florey would do anything that was shocking. Susan looked through the whole thing several times in quick succession, but the hole that had been poked out blocked all the key things was heavenly.

After some struggle, Susan gave up the booklet in her hand. She put it in order and placed it on a rock. Then, she revisited the mechanism. When she had no clue, she even walked around the square chamber again, stepping on every rock floor. As a result, Susan could only sweat.

Nothing happened except for the darkroom covers, which opened and closed alternately. Just when Susan was feeling uncomfortable, she noticed an anomaly carved on the wall. It was a slight flash of light, located in the dragon's eye of the god of light. So, Susan walked under the east wall and touched it with her palm.

In the beginning, there was no sound of the mechanism activating. However, when Susan pushed hard with her right hand that was wrapped around the power of the wind, the dragon's eye sank in. Then, all the carvings are no longer prayers to the god of light, but become one work after another of the crows.

On the south wall, the first picture is the picture. A nobleman armed with an "oath dagger" is kneeling to a one-horned crow. Although there is only one picture on the wall, the nobleman is carved in more detail. The nobleman wore a full-body armor engraved with the emblem of a white horse, and handed the dagger to the one-horned crow.

On the east wall, there is the second picture. Susan was able to tell the order because at the bottom of each carving was an arrow as big as her index finger. On this side of the carving, the nobleman with a short knife stands in front of another nobleman and uses his knife to cut through the blood-bladed sword emblem.

Susan didn't understand the second picture, so she looked directly at the third picture. On the north wall, there is a carving of a man with a crown on his head falling under a knight's sword. Presumably, Susan hypothesized that King Velon's death was related to the Crows and the Flore family. However, the powerful men in the Flore family are unusually tough when it comes to lawbreakers. So, how could such a conspiracy happen? Susan couldn't explain it.

Now, Susan just wants to get out as soon as possible. Staying a little longer would be a drain on her life, and Susan didn't want to bury herself in the torrent of history, nor did she want to stay away from her friends in the Rocky Warband. Moreover, there is another person who worries Susan.

"Is he, okay? What happened in the wee hours of the morning?"

Susan looked at the carving of King Veron who had fallen under the sword, and couldn't help but worry that Glori would fall one day. Just today, the Knights of Honor also suffered an accident.

Thinking, so that Susan forgot about the stuff for a while. Gradually, time slipped away. The sound of a rapid breath made Susan anxious. She recounted her past with Glori, and every scene was so beautiful. Whether it's meeting on a wooden bridge on the riverbank or taking a torn garment from Glori, it seems like everything is close at hand. However, she could not touch it in any way, and watched as scene after scene flashed through her mind.

There is such a song, there is a song that sings about the trek, and Susan has heard it. "When I die, I would like to pray to the bright moon......"

"Tomorrow will be without sorrow......"

Finally, Susan truly understands Glori's pain. Imagining the beauty of the past, Susan quietly closed her eyes. She even saw Glori and Dylan standing in front of her, followed by Irris, Zoe, and Way, as well as Aina and Pod. And the phoenix, which is clear between good and evil, with a flame that can illuminate the lost, spun over Susan's head.

Just as the phoenix flame was about to be extinguished, Glori let go of his palm, and it was right in front of Susan's eyes. Susan couldn't help but reach out and touch the flying starlight, but it was all illusory.

Susan swore to herself that she would leave this airtight chamber. She knew that somewhere hidden was a mechanism that had been in use at the time. If she can find it, she must go find Glori and Zoe first. Of course, she hadn't forgotten the teachable Lord Xavier and the arrogant Evan.

Then, Susan searched from corner to corner. Anything that was hidden by vines, anything that was mossy, she had searched. Dizzy, she looked back at the dying light, her body fell, and she sat directly on the edge of the pool.

In the midst of the struggle, Susan realized that she was still on an empty stomach. After a few grunts, she got back to her feet. It's as if the will to survive is forcibly poured into the heart. "If it was Dylan, Dylan would have been furious with hunger, wielding the sword of flame and smashing into the rock wall despite the scarcity of air, so what would he do if it was Glori?"

Susan thinks that Glori will do a miracle, even if she drags her heavy body or finds a way out of here under the torture of a curse on her right abdomen.

However, miracles did not always favor Glori. And, from the very beginning, Glori fought on his own. From a kid being bullied by a buddy to an authentic magic swordsman, Glori never stops. Only, when Glorry was thinking and worried, he would climb up the roof alone, lean against the chimney or lie on the tiles and look up at the moon.

Thinking of this, Susan couldn't help but smile. "It turns out that our blue stars also have times of exhaustion. In fact, Susan had seen Glori look tired more than once. However, Glori always got back on his feet, whether he was supported by his sword or struggled.

Perhaps, like Dylan, we should be more optimistic. Use the method of 'resenting the surroundings because you are hungry' to bring out the potential of your whole body," Susan guessed, "or perhaps, you can penetrate the secret room with one blow." Then Susan drew her bow and arrow, and she placed her hope on the arrow, and focused her magic on the shaft.

"Whoosh......"

Susan saw the phoenix feather arrows flying into the passage and heard the sound of collision. She happily ran into the passage, only to see a result that was not what she wanted.

"Why, you opened the door?"

Immediately, Susan drew a phoenix feather arrow from her back and threw it forward. The man, wearing a black hood and unable to catch his face in the flickering light, stood in front of Susan, and caught all the arrows thrown by Susan with his hand.

With a few waves of his hand, the dark magic accompanied it, and he followed his arm in the passage and dragged out the flame tail of the vertical strip of dark fire. Then, Susan seized the opportunity, and upon closer inspection, the man was wearing a crow mask. However, Susan still saw the "Burning Sword" emblem on the cloak.

"Heh, you're quite capable of tossing. You'd better be honest with me and get out of here with me and go find the person you want to meet. Because, he needs help. You should know why I say that, you're not a stupid girl. Pulling down the hood, the man grabbed Susan's hand and pulled her out.

"Wait, who the hell are you, how did you end up wearing Kyle's black coat?"

Glancing at the emblem of the sword surrounded by flames, Susan dragged back hard, trying to shake off the hand of the man in front of her. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him suddenly turned around and grabbed Susan's left hand with his hand. In the blink of an eye, Susan was possessed by the fire of darkness, and unable to struggle with the help of magic, Susan was pulled straight out of the passage.

"What do you know?"

Susan didn't ask the person in front of her why she was helping her, because she was always concerned about the safety of others. Leaving the well, she and the man dressed in black ran all the way to the cliff.

Surrounded by the fire of darkness again, Susan rose into the air with the man, until she flew above the Rift. After stepping onto the grass, Susan was stunned. Everything in front of you is only a mess.

Several fallen knights, just a few meters away from Susan. Slightly closer, Susan spotted no other knights in the ruptured tent. However, there was no Glori, no Zoe, no Lord Xavier, and no Evan.

Unable to stand the doubts in her heart, Susan re-examines the person who saved her. The man pointed to the east, where Glori's sword stood!
