Chapter 33: The Truth Revealed
Jessica frowned and appeared in the shadow behind Avril, the white fist was on the slender back of Avril's neck, the shadow wrapped around the fist had disappeared, the pitch-black fist had returned to snow white, and the skin color on the back of her hand was even whiter than Avril's.
The guard's cover skill, this skill takes double damage, I think you can still block a few times!
The punch that should have been fatal failed again, and Jessica turned fierce, raised her hand and smashed two more punches at Avril.
The Dire Rider can wrap shadow energy around its body, dealing a large amount of extra damage to the target, but using the Dire to move through the shadows also requires the consumption of shadow energy, which can only be recovered when entering the shadows.
Without affecting Dire's movement, Jessica's limit is three punches. After three punches, you must go into the shadows to recover, otherwise the Dire's ability to move through the shadows will be temporarily disabled.
"Bang!
With two explosions, the shield in William's hand was instantly exploded, and the flying hardwood blocks carried a huge kinetic energy, and quickly hit the surrounding horses, causing them to neigh.
William, who was holding the shield, also dragged more than half a meter on the ground, and the two fists that looked light and fluttering not only hammered the shield, but also smashed firmly on his breastplate, if it weren't for the Silver Knight suit with an armor value of up to 30, most of the punches that were blocked would have been enough to slightly hurt him.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out of his body and shot towards the direction of the fist. In Jessica's incredulous gaze, the blazing white light sank into the void in front of William, and then shone out of Avril's neck, knocking her upside down with precision.
"Glory Fortress! Ride ...... No, bi-professional!"
Jessica's eyes lit up as she flew out upside down, staring at the man in silver armor.
No wonder Eugene and they were defeated so quickly! The dual professions are not weaker than the ordinary second-order limit, two second-order plus thirty knights in the formation are fully capable of taking Eugene and them ......
It still doesn't seem right, if I hadn't arrived, they would have been wiped out like a third-rate bandit group. Even if there is one more second-order, Eugene and they still lose too fast, these people can't still hold other hole cards.
Feeling wrong, Jessica gave up her adventure and continued to attack, riding the Dire back a few steps into a shadow, choosing to regain her energy first. She looked cautiously in William's direction and asked coldly:
"You're that little lover of Avril Lavigne?"
!ฯ(โเตงโ) Avril Lavigne, who turned around, looked flustered.
!!( ฬ_, ฬ) William, who was picking up a new shield, looked confused.
!! (ใะใโกใะดใ) The knights who are ready to charge look at each other.
?( ฬโฯโ')/ The bearded cousin was unwavering, and even wanted to laugh a little.
The bearded cousin's mind flashed with a series of childhood memories at the speed of light.
When I was a child, my mother touched my head and told me that there is a pure friendship between men and women, for example, she and Uncle Wilde, who had a lot of beard next door, were good friends for more than ten years. However, I know that this is probably the only lie she has ever said to me in her life.
Mom is the smartest woman in the world, but she really underestimated one person this time - her son! Mom is so close to Uncle Wilde, and I look so much like Uncle Wilde, I'm just not smart enough, but I'm not stupid!
He's my uncle!
Her Majesty looked at her cousin with the same look her mother looked at Uncle Wilde! So only I know the truth of the matter, and the queen must be her cousin's long-lost relative!
Hans's beard curled slightly, and he smiled through everything, and then fell back into the memory.
Then I went to Uncle Wilde and told him my inference, and he touched my head with a complicated look on his face and said......
"You!"
A high-pitched scream interrupted Hans's bearded memories, and he looked up in astonishment, only to see Her Majesty the Queen stumbling over with her face covered, and hiding behind the great shield he had erected.
"We're not the kind of relationship you think, we're ...... The two of us are ......."
William stepped forward, took the shield from his bearded cousin, and held it firmly in front of Avril.
"We are comrades!"
He said calmly: "We have the same ambition! We all believe that the world should not be like this! The rich earth is fully capable of providing enough food, and there are enough places in the world for all people to live."
We should base our lives on the happiness of others rather than on misery, and those who are called untouchables are human beings like us, and their status should be determined by contribution rather than blood......!
William's voice was as calm as ever, he spoke without any mood fluctuations, his gaze was flat and firm, without the slightest wandering, as if what came out of his mouth was not something that would be attacked by the nobles, but the truth that one plus one equals two.
Avril looked at William intently, as if she had reacquainted herself with the man.
If he stayed in the royal capital, he would have been able to get a better life, and even restore the title of the Van Gus family and become a nobleman again. But he actually risked his life and left the royal capital with him without hesitation. Originally, I thought that this decision was made out of emotions called admiration, but I didn't expect it to be......
Avril felt her heart calm down all at once. At a time when everyone feels like they're doing useless work and feeling like they're the destroyers. This little guy who had 'assassinated' himself because he lost his aristocratic status was the first to agree with his idea and was willing to gamble his life for it.
Looking up at William's resolute and solemn face, unable to find a trace of longing, Avril's heart was full of joy and emotion, but a subtle sense of guilt quietly welled up.
You don't have any other ideas, but I do...... Avril thought back to the age gap between the two, and the guilt suddenly intensified.
She felt as if she were a disgruntled noblewoman, using chivalry as bait to trick a able-bodied young man into having an affair with her, and the more determined William's expression grew, the more the strange shame swelled in her heart.
Compared to Avril, who was in a very complicated mood, Jessica felt very good, and she felt that she had finally seen through the truth of the matter.
