When Alik woke up again, his world was still dark. The old knight of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info prostrate on the ground, and it took a lot of effort to turn himself over. The dirt pounced into Alik's mouth, but his parched tongue couldn't taste it. He struggled on the ground, and it became especially difficult to move his limbs. His body felt as if it was torn, but his eyes were strangely unconscious. However, he is alive and he still has things to accomplish.

Alik stretched out a trembling hand and stroked the ground, which was fine gravel and stones. Alik didn't touch the damp dirt and weeds, this wasn't the woods he had fallen on, and it seemed that Palmer had moved him somewhere else. The scorching sun was scorching Alec's body, not in the watchtower. But no matter where it is, lying on your stomach all the time always means stagnation. Alik struggled to his feet, feeling a subtle abnormality in his body. It seems to have been lifted up a lot, and the right side of the body has become extremely heavy. He flicked his hair, rubble, dirt, and a mess of things, which made Alik finally hear what was going on around him. It was a deafening cry like the waves, and Alik felt as if he was in a huge gladiatorial arena. The people around were onlookers, and they looked down at Alik from above, like the sun and clouds in the sky. Alik roared angrily, he didn't like the feeling, he needed to finish that duel.

Alik, struggling to move forward, bumped into something, something about his size. Alik stroked each other with his hand in confusion, a little warm, but a little rough. Alik felt that his hands were unusually sluggish, as if they were wrapped in layers of hand armor. But he could still feel that the other party was a two-legged humanoid.

"Hey, who are you? are you okay?"

The other party ignored Alik. Alik continued to try to talk, but was rudely pushed away. The old knight fell to the ground at once, and then he felt himself being held by a small hand.

"Alex?"

Incredibly, Alik heard Herois's voice here. It made the old knight feel as if he had gone back to the night when he first heard the voice of Helois. The lone hatchling stood in the midst of the violently destroyed building, staring at Alik with empty eyes. Alik couldn't see Helois anymore, but he believed that Helois was still looking up at him with her short flaxen hair. Alik suddenly felt a shyness that he had not been able to give away from his children, and he felt that he should not expose this ugliness to his children. But Alik soon remembered that he had more important things to confirm.

"Why are you here?Didn't Sulfur get you to safety?kid?" Alik didn't know where Helois was, so he could only talk around, "Sure enough, at that time, I didn't see a hallucination......

"I ......," Helois's voice hesitated, and she paused for a moment, "she did send me to a house, but I came out on my own. ”

"Maybe we're thinking too simply, Helois. Alikwu nodded to himself, "You had that idea at the time." Pretend to agree to our arrangement before sneaking out. You're not like any other kid, and we shouldn't underestimate you. ”

"I ......"

Helois hesitated, but said nothing. Alik felt like he had grasped the flow of things. He struggled to get up on his legs and said.

"Let's go. ”

"No, Alex, it took me a lot of effort to get here!"

"But this is not for you. Alek leaned down in the direction of Helois's voice, "Helois, look at my face, are my eye sockets bare? I will cast this resentment into the breasts of the evildoers. But with the resentment I myself was corrupted, corrupted and ugly. Helois, if you continue to follow me, I'm afraid you'll end up in the same fate. ”

"I'm not afraid!"

Alik shook off Helois's hand, and he tried to continue walking on his legs, but failed. As it fell to the ground, Hellois held Alik.

"I didn't think I was weak enough to do that. ”

Alik stroked his leg with his hand, but he had difficulty touching the outline of his leg. He guessed that his leg must have been punished by Palmer and became a mess. However, this does not constitute a reason for Alik to abandon the duel. He still wanted to keep going. Helois supported his body.

"Alex, where are you going?"

"I want to ......"

Alik paused slightly. The problem with Helois is that Alik has been torturing his torture tools. After losing his daughter, Alik has been torturing himself with this question. With no loved ones and no hope of promotion, life is no more comfortable for Alik than purgatory. He had thought that he could become a simple knight for the rest of his life, but when he saw Palmer's face appear in front of him again, Alik knew that "chivalry" was nothing more than self-deception. He wants revenge and burns the rest of his pale life, not lying in a rocking chair waiting to die.

"I'm going to kill, kill Palmer. ”

"He's with a lot of soldiers, Alex. "The soldiers were armed with spears, sharp blades, and terrible bows and arrows. They will block you. ”

"Then I'll knock the soldiers down, and break through their barriers. ”

"He was now standing on a high wall, and beside it there was a huge tower. Standing at the bottom of the tower, you can only see the bluestone, and you don't know how high the tower is. ”

"Then I'll climb up the tower and grab Palmer by the collar and throw him down. The jaw that had been raised made him slam the dirt floor. ”

"But...... Alex, you can't see it. Helois pulled Alik and said, "You can't kill Palmer without seeing it." I can be your eyes. ”

“……”

Alik was silent, he couldn't refuse Herois. But sacrificing a girl who is still alive for the sake of a dead girl does not give Alik peace of mind.

"No...... You should leave ......."

"Alik, I asked you where you're going. Can you answer me, then, that I should leave, and where will I go?"

“……”

Alik was silent. Just like him, Helois has lost all her loved ones, and the only person she can trust is herself. Even if Sulfona had fostered her in an ordinary family, would Palmer have spared a lovely girl like her? Even if Helois grew up smoothly, who could guarantee that she would not become the plaything of the nobility or the belly of the demon? The Holy City had decayed, and Palmer drove the demons, and he lost his humanity. In this environment, no matter where Herois was, she was just as dangerous. What's more, the demon that destroyed the village of Helois was bred by Palmer. Alik willfully gave up his life and walked on the precipice of revenge. And what reason did he have for Helois to leave him?

"At least—you have to listen to me. When I say let you run, you have to run. Carry me on your back, run behind us, don't look back, leave me alone. Do you understand? Helois?"

"I understand. Alik could feel Helois shaking his silky flaxen hair and nodded, "Alik means, agree that I will continue to be by your side." ”

"You kid......"

Alik smiled wryly. In a confrontation with the sharp-toothed Herois, he was defeated. The old knight finally admits his physical defects, and he chooses to accept the help of Helois. He didn't know how many injuries he had suffered, or how many organs he had left intact and usable. But none of that stopped him from moving forward. Alik met a few more people he had met before. They were silent, walking with a pace similar to that of Alex, like zombies.

"Helois, what are these ......?"

Helois hesitated for a moment, and then gave the answer.

"These are prisoners. ”

"Prisoner?"

"That's right. Alec was taken by the nobleman and placed in the cell with the prisoner. Then the cell was opened, and everyone escaped. These prisoners must also be poor people who have been wronged. ”

"Why didn't they speak?"

"They are strangers, and I am afraid they will not understand you. I don't think they're in the mood to talk either. ”

Alik nodded, she felt that Herois's words were reasonable, and he couldn't find a reason for Herois to deceive him. But the old knight instinctively felt strange. What did Palmer mean by what he said last? Why didn't he kill himself at the time? Who rescued Alik and the prisoners? Why was Helois able to find him? Where were he and Helois going? As he thought about it, Helois tugged at his arm.

"Alex, I see Palmer!"

"What?

Alik was excited, and his steps became staggering. Helois struggled to support Palmer's body, then lifted his hand and pointed in a certain direction high up.

"He's standing on the wall, wearing a red robe with a white collar on his shoulders, and he's looking at you. There are people around him, a lot of people, and they're watching you too. The walls are not far from here, but they are very high, very high. ”

"Okay!"

Alik let out a loud shout to boost his morale. He felt his body completely stiffened, like a half-dead zombie, rushing forward with ridiculous, slow steps. The surroundings seemed to be glued to the armor outside, and the persistent pain made the nerves numb. But Alik was still rushing forward, sketching out Palmer's location in his brain. The young nobleman clutched a handkerchief and a cane in his hands, blinking his cold eyes. Alik pulled his two-handed tomahawk from behind him, but he now felt that he could play with it with one hand. Alik could hear the soft sound of the axe's blade tearing through the air, and he nodded in satisfaction. The axe swung around Alik's circle five or six times, and then flew straight in Palmer's direction like an arrow.
