The noisy night had become quiet, and in a corner of the city of sin, Andorhar, a fire lit by magic was silently burning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a spacious room that was supposed to be a hall, unexpectedly undamaged, and still in its original form, the room was divided into three parts, on one side was Karen who had wrapped herself in a magical barrier and was sleeping soundly, on one side was Ai Xue, who was already asleep, and on the other side was Langton and Rosen.

On the boiler in the center of the room, a little hot air was coming out of the kettle, warming the room, and Lawson was sitting in the corner, meditating.

Today's harvest can be regarded as quite rich, in the process of fighting with the silver-level Saffron, Rosen's understanding of his swordsmanship has taken a step further, and direct contact with the existence of the law has deepened his understanding of the nature of the world a lot.

Now it seems that just as the difference between the Bronze Rank and the Black Iron Rank is the perception and control of magic power, the difference between the Silver Rank and the Bronze Rank is whether you can construct your own laws.

This is actually a bit difficult for Rosen to understand, in his cognition, the law is fixed, unchangeable, and belongs to the basic composition of this world, but it seems that the silver level of this world, even the law can be manipulated and even created.

Perhaps this is the key to advancement, Rosen thought, as he meditated on the power of the laws he had witnessed in today's battle, trying to use them as a basis for his own understanding.

Langton, on the other hand, couldn't sleep.

It was the first night he had spent on the land, and the first night of the War for the Crown.

In the previous crown wars, even the fastest one only took place on the third day, but this time, in just one day, two pairs of participants have permanently withdrawn, and the remaining heroic spirits have also surfaced, and the pace can be said to be quite fast.

Of course, there are many situations in this crown war that have never been seen in history, not only is there a sixth participant, but now there is also a loss of contact with the main plane, there is also the existence of hunting summoners, and even magic peculiarities have appeared.

Langton was a little embarrassed, he was originally only summoned to prove his strength, but he didn't expect that the current situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

As the weakest summoner, he could only rely on his own Heroic Spirit, and although the skeleton swordsman seemed to be quite reliable, Langton still felt a deep powerlessness in his heart.

If he could have been stronger, if he had been less weak, maybe things would have been different, with that in mind, Langton sat up.

He looked at Lawson, although his heroic spirit had many mysteries, but it had helped him a lot along the way, Langton thought about it and did not disturb the other party's meditation, but walked to the boiler by himself, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot tea.

The white mist rose and drifted through the air, and Langton let out a long sigh, only to find that Ai Xue on the other side also opened his eyes.

I wanted to pretend not to be aware, but Langton's gaze happened to meet the other party, and the scene was quite awkward for a while.

"Uh......"

Not knowing what to say for a moment, Langton held the teacup in both hands and smiled a little stiffly.

“...... Would you like a cup of tea?"

Ai Xue's cheeks flushed a little pink, she nodded silently, and also walked to the stove and sat down, facing Langton.

Langton hurriedly poured a second cup of tea and handed it to Ai Xue.

Taking Langton's tea, Ai Xue just held it in the palm of her hand, staring at the dark tea with her eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

“...... Brother Noah will be fine. ”

Langton thought for a long time before he spoke, he didn't have much experience talking to girls, let alone the same Heroic Spirit, so he had to start with something that was familiar to both parties.

"I originally thought that this time I could finally fight for the people I was protecting, but I didn't expect to make such a serious mistake, sure enough, a long-cherished wish is a long-cherished wish after all, and it will never be realized?"

Ai Xue whispered, with a deep sense of loss in her eyes.

"Hmm......"

Langton knew that the Heroic Spirit Girl in front of him was blaming herself, and he thought for a moment before slowly answering.

"If I'm not mistaken, is your real name Al Ain Granshe?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but she didn't answer.

"Female grey knights are quite rare in history, and even less famous, and as for the blonde one, there is only one, and I have read a record of you. ”

Langton continued, observing the girl's expression.

In fact, it wasn't until Ai Xue said those words just now that Langton was sure that the girl in front of him was that Ai Yin Granxue.

Studying under St. Greysius, the Sword of the Firmament, the famous person who pioneered the Templar swordmanship, is none other than Ain Grancher.

This young girl, who was famous even in the ashes lineage, was remembered as a Valkyrie-like role at the time, and her name is also passed down as the Gray Knight to this day.

Ninety-seven battles, none of them were defeated, one of the core combat forces of the Templar, and a man who was revered as the "God of War".

But the final ending of this Valkyrie is also quite miserable.

After the Second Holy War, she guarded the border for several years, until she encountered the ensuing turmoil within the Templar.

Al Ain Grans, who had slain many enemies in the Great War and had made many achievements for the Templar, was called a heretic, perhaps because her power was too strong, or perhaps because her faith was too pure, in short, such an upright girl became a stumbling block in some way.

And she, in order to prove her faith, was willing to accept the punishment, both hands and feet were broken, and she was imprisoned in a dark dungeon for three years.

Three years later, what greeted us was not a grievance, but an even greater purge.

Al Ain Granser was not spared from the purge, which affected almost all religious people, and was sentenced to be burned at the stake, which was carried out in the central square of the city, which she had guarded for several years.

The crowd threw rotten eggs and stones at their former patron saint, and the people shouted feverishly, their eyes red, and even the children shouted.

Burn heretics, they say.

The flame that ignited on Ain Granser burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished.

Eventually, the rest of her corpse was abandoned along with the other heretics in the unknown wilderness, unknown to anyone.

“...... Looks like you know. ”

Ai Xue was silent before she slowly spoke.

"I actually don't complain, when I became the Gray Knight, I had already dedicated myself to the goddess, and everything after that was was just a ...... of experience."

When she was summoned, Ai Xue had already gained the knowledge of her death, and knew that the catastrophe was not a test of the goddess, but just a game of power for some people, and that the town she was guarding was destroyed by an unknown disaster three hundred years later.

"If I could, I would still like to protect the people I should protect, which is why I answered the call. ”

Ai Xue's side face was calm and soft, which made Langton a little dazed, and he didn't come back to his senses until the teacup in his hand came to a slightly hot temperature.

"You can definitely make this wish come true, and we will rescue Brother Noah. ”

An inexplicable force drove him to put down the teacup and hold Ai Xue's hand.

The warmth that comes through the palm of your hand is reassuring.
