Chapter 237: The Night Stalker's Eye
"Before, they all sent some adult demons to come over and take direct action, but after repeated failures, they began to change their strategy and even cruelly sent some children over. β
Hearing this, Hai Xin said with a face full of surprise but also very angry: "Child, won't you? The Bart Demon Clan is too ruthless to let the child go to the battlefield. β
"Yes, what's even more hateful is that these children are all underage, they are all genius teenagers of the Bart Demon Clan, according to the previous strategy, these children will definitely be focused on cultivating by them, working hard to advance, and finally become the main force attacking the continent in the future. β
"However, this time they actually changed their strategy and sent these children to the mainland before they were promoted, which really made those Bat demons spend a lot of money. β
"Sent here before you advance?" Hai Xin thought and said, "In other words, they let these people take advantage of their own strength and send them over when the teleportation channel can withstand it, and then complete the promotion with us?"
"Yes, and it's not just as simple as completing the promotion, the people of the Bart Demon Clan are naturally stronger than humans, plus these children are all carefully selected genius teenagers, all of whom have been trained and cultivated since birth. β
"The Bart Demon Clan doesn't know what kind of magic they used to bless their bodies, so that these children's cultivation progress is slow, when they come to the Jade Tears Continent, when they remove the magic, their cultivation speed is unimaginable to ordinary people. β
"It's only been three years since they sent them over as high-level professionals, and when our Oblivion Moon Knights found them three years later, there was already a Saint-rank powerhouse among them!"
"Moreover, there are several professionals of the same level as the Great Sword Master, and not only that, but they have also formed a legitimate mercenary group organization to fight against our Knights of the Oblivion, their name is the Nightmare Knights!"
"Nightmare Knights?" That history did not spread on the mainland, and Haixin was extremely unfamiliar with the name of this mercenary group.
"Yes, Haixin, you must remember this name! Just like their name, their appearance is really a terrible nightmare!"
"They are not only powerful, but also insidious and cunning, the Nightmare Knights assassinated and divided several masters and powerhouses in our group, causing us to be in chaos. β
"And at the same time, they attacked the kingdoms on the continent, they skillfully used human greed and selfish desires to lure the kings and high-ranking officials of the countries on the continent, and finally almost triggered a race war that affected the whole continent. β
And the head of the regiment ...... That is, your father, in order to save the whole continent and the Knights of the Oblivion, he ......" Egbert said this, his tone was a little choked, and his eyes were also covered with a layer of mist.
"Father, father, what's wrong with him?" Hai Xin had already guessed the general outcome, but he wanted to hear the real answer.
"At that time, the Knights of the Oblivion Moon could be said to have suffered a great injury, and there were few strong people left in the group, and the only two Saint-rank powerhouses who could compete with the Nightmare Knights were also killed and injured because of the Nightmare Knights' tricks. β
"Seeing that the Knights of the Oblivion Moon were about to perish, at that critical moment, your father gave up his life, and he used the spatial teleportation scroll inherited by the family to teleport the leader of the Nightmare Knights, that is, the Holy Rank powerhouse, into the spatial crack calculated before with himself. β
"It is conceivable that the spatial rift simply can't withstand a strong person like them, and in the end, ...... They...... All are gone......"
Haixin slowly closed his eyes, clenched his hands and fists, and didn't speak for a long time......
Egbert saw Haixin's face pale, and said comfortingly: "Haixin, don't be sad, you should be proud of your father, you should be proud of him!"
However, Haixin shook his head, and his iron-blue face changed to a bitter smile, "I see, I finally know why my mother asked me to stay away from your Knights of the Oblivion...... Originally...... She is afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past and end up in the same fate as my father!"
Hearing Haixin say this, Egbert also smiled helplessly: "Alas~ Pity the hearts of parents in the world, I can't blame her, the ordinary life of an ordinary family is very beautiful, but unfortunately, you were born in this Heather family with a difficult mission, then your life is destined to definitely not be dull." β
"Haixin, you are the only heir of the Heather family, then you are the patriarch of this family, this is logical and undoubted. However, the position of the head of the Knights of the Oblivion is not something you can just want to be. β
Egbert asked, "Do you know why I told Hussler that he didn't have the right to make decisions on his own?"
Haixin shook his head.
"The Knights of the Oblivion are now leaderless, and we desperately need someone to serve them and lead them. Although you are the patriarch of the Heather family, you are rightly named, but you have left home since you were a child, and the members of the group lack trust in you, and you can only be recognized by everyone if you prove yourself. β
"Hmph, I'm me, why do I need someone to recognize me?" Hai Xin didn't want to cause so much trouble to himself, what he wanted most now was how to wake up Rosa as soon as possible.
Egbert seemed to have guessed that Haixin would say this, and he said unhurriedly: "I know that your mother does not want you to be in danger again, and besides, you may not have any sense of belonging to this family, but you have to think about the whole human race, and you also have to avenge your father." β
Speaking of this, Egbert paused, and his tone suddenly increased, "And...... You are even more responsible for your own fatal mistake in letting go of the Demon King's soul in the first place!"
"Huh, how do you know that I let go of the Demon King's soul!?" Haixin's eyes widened in disbelief, only a few of them and the people of the Island of Origin knew about this matter.
How could the people of their Knights of the Oblivion know so well? Could it be that they detected it? If so, then their methods of exploring the secret are too outrageous, right?
The man sighed again and said, "Alas...... After your father's death, we of the Knights of the Moon were leaderless, and in order to find you, we had to use the forbidden technique that only the Night Stalker patriarch can useβthe Night Stalker's Eye!"
"Night Stalker's Eye?!" Haixin repeated, how did the name resemble his own Spirit-Summoning Eye?
"Yes, the Night Stalker's Eye can also be called the Eye of Prophecy, and it is a brutal consecration spell that must be used by the caster for all bodily functions except sight, hearing, and verbal communication. β
"Only in this way can I open the Eye of the Night Stalker that can transcend time and space and see fragments of the prophecy picture, and I, Egbert, am the patriarch of the Night Stalker family, and this magic must be performed by me, and you can see that my body has become what it is now because of this magic. β
"Bong...... Dedication...... Physical function!!"
Hai Xin was dumbfounded, this Egbert sacrificed so much in order to find himself?
