Chapter Twenty-Three: The Selfish Knight
The quasi-artifact "Soul Suppression" in Trem's hand is a well-deserved treasure among the branches established by the Necromantic Guild here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the entire continent, dark attribute artifacts are extremely rare.
Beyond the kingdom of Astaire, there are endless mountains and plains, emerald forests that cover the sky, and a large lake that is quiet in the moonlight, and through these landscapes is the "Dark Kingdom".
It is one of the three major sects in the continent, and although it is the weakest, the current Necromantic Pope "Dark Division" is one of the top necromancers in the continent and the president of the Necromantic Guild.
He is holding a real complete artifact "Scythe Sin", wearing a quasi-artifact "Heart of the Kingdom of God", which is combined to form an artifact set of "punishment", of course, this is a well-known artifact throughout the continent.
But even in the Pitch Black God Kingdom, there are only these two pieces, and on the side of a small necromantic branch in the Astaire Kingdom, Minister Trim has an unknown "Soul Suppression", which is already great news.
The Northern Snow Country, including the Southern Desert Region, and so on, there is no so-called quasi-artifact in the necromantic divisions of other countries, which shows the significance of the dark artifact to the necromancers.
It is a symbol of the throne, a symbol that makes all necromantic believers fanatical.
If there is a precise definition of the value of "Soul Suppression", then it can be called the strongest quasi-artifact (dark) in the center of the continent.
But it is such a quasi-artifact "Soul Suppression", which can even transform space on a large scale, and almost wiped out the treasure of the alliance forces of Polar Rock City and Earth Rock City, but it was shattered by Leoli on the ground.
From the point of view of class, the "Soul Suppression" is at the red level, which is a small level higher than the current [Life Cultivation Ring] and [Wang Yan Talisman], so they can be suppressed and weakened.
However, the two props on Leo's body are genuine, the top treasures from the "Riptide of Heaven", and they are among the best jewelry equipment in "Riptide Sword".
And the "soul suppression" is just an ordinary quasi-artifact with empty class power, this is the gap between qualities, and it is difficult to make up for the power of a small class.
That's the difference between a big stone and a small diamond.
In the prison, the void was distorted, Trem appeared, and everything in the inner space was illusory, so the prison did not collapse, and he did not die.
His face was very pale, and he stared blankly at the dark blue beads in his hand, which were already covered with subtle chips, and the luster had dimmed a lot.
"Gods, salvation, these, these, ah, ah..."
He tilted his head, his face twisted extremely, scratched his throat, let out a dry roar, and even tears welled up in his eyes.
In order to upgrade the quasi-artifact "Soul Suppression", which he had worked so hard to obtain, he privately used most of the resources of the branch to find out the location of the "Gaudun Ruins" in advance.
At the same time, he planned the "Raid on Taiyan City", whether it was intercepting the letters of the Mage Tower, or corrupting the system of the knights, inserting the inner ghosts, and destroying the garrison, he did it perfectly, and he even almost solved the alliance of the two cities effortlessly.
And in this battle, there is no archmage Ampott, no heavy knights, no elite knights and elite mages, he thinks that God is helping him!
Once the important stronghold of Taiyan City is controlled by him, then in the face of the belated "Golden Sect" and the "second court" of the royal family, he can calmly grasp the initiative.
In the end, he tortured the whereabouts of the ruins from Lina's mouth, obtained most of the secret treasures in the "Gaodun Ruins", and raised the "Soul Suppression" to the level of an artifact in one fell swoop, and he was the new second president.
He will become the second person in the continent to hold the divine right and be worshiped by the necromantic believers! He's going to be a legend through and through! Enjoy the scenery of the peak of the continent with the "Dark Division"!
After years of hard work, everything was destroyed by a person who suddenly came in and had no identity to know, and the dream was shattered.
That's a quasi-artifact that transforms space! A real god item! Why, how could that person be so vulnerable in front of him!
I don't understand it at all! There is no reason for everything to happen!
Trem is devastated! Exploded! Cry! Heartbroken! None of this is enough to describe his resentment!
Leo glanced at the sluggish Trem, snapped the lock of the prison door, bent down, and picked her up to Alina's astonished gaze.
"Ah, Leigh, Leigh, Leigh..."
Alina's face flushed, her green eyes fluttering, and she didn't dare to look at Leo.
"It's me, Leo."
Leo smiled helplessly, looked directly at Alina, said gently, glanced at Duboran, and motioned for him to follow.
Dubran nodded, looking at the necromancers on the side, all of whom were greeting Trim in a panic, not having time to pay attention to Leo's side, while Antor slowly drew his sword, pretending not to see it.
The three of them walked directly past the sluggish Trem and walked out of the prison smoothly.
"Your Excellency?"
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"My lord, they're running away, do they need to stop them?"
"My lord, the coalition forces outside are still fighting, do you need to attack them?"
"Your Excellency, please cheer up."
The necromancer was gossiping, but no one could see the crack in the dark blue orb.
"If you can find the 'Gordoner Ruins', there is still a chance, and the top priority is to eliminate the coalition forces and guard against other forces."
Antor's voice was not loud, but it reached Trim's ears through the noise.
In an instant, Dead Gray's eyes moved, and Trem's dull expression was replaced by a hideous expression little by little.
"yes, there's still a chance."
He still has hole cards useless, the battle is not over yet, and the dark blue light beats in his eyes.
Although most of the power of the "Soul Suppression" has dissipated due to the almost destruction of the inner space, the necromantic creatures that have been controlled in it will not be affected.
He has a real young dragon, although it is only a corpse bone, but with the blessing, after the fourth level of magic increased by the "Soul Suppression", he definitely has the terrifying strength to surpass the fifth level.
He also has an army of necromancy, as well as a group of Taiyan City puppet leaders who are controlled by the blood-colored runes.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, free the shackles, and then all die!"
Trem scratched his face, scratched a few blood marks, and laughed maniacally, the dark blue light became more and more intense in his eyes, and the crazy appearance made the necromancers on the side feel terrified.
In the main palace, Leo carried Alina and quickly moved from the second floor to the first floor, followed by Dubran close behind.
After reaching the first floor, in addition to the broken statues and the sight full of battle marks, you can already see the corpses of some coalition troops, as well as the remains of many undead creatures.
Several knights and mages, and a few skeleton warriors fought hard.
The coalition forces teleported, although they broke through the ambush of the necromancy and entered the main palace, but they did not expect that Trem used the ability of "Soul Suppression" to knock them into another dimension, if Leo hadn't broken it, these coalition forces would definitely be wiped out by Trem.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of the coalition forces, Leo hugged Alina and walked out of the main palace without changing his face.
"Wait! You're Dubolan of the Knights of Taiyan City! β
A knight's eyes froze, and he suddenly shouted.
And he was so distracted that another wound was added to his body, and he retreated in pain, and gasped.
"I don't know why you came out of it, but now that the city is besieged by the dead and the situation is grim, do you want to escape?!"
The knight pressed the wound and blushed.
Dubolan's pupils shrank instantly, his body stiffened involuntarily, and the knight told the truth that he had been running away.
The skill of [Slavery] will not change a person's mind, but it will make Leo's status infinitely higher in his heart.
So, he's actually quite sober.
He always knew what he was doing.
He already knew that the Heavy Knights and the Knights, as well as the mage Taanbot, had all died at the hands of Leo, and even the destruction of Taiyan City today was inextricably linked to Leo.
He didn't care about any of this, and he decided that if he wanted to follow someone, he should let go of something.
But there are some things that you can't let go, such as responsibility.
As long as he is still a knight, he should fight to the end for Taiyan City.
Therefore, he has to fight for this responsibility to the end.
Dublan's eyes fell silent, and he drew his saber and turned to a certain skeleton warrior.
"Do you know what you're doing? Duboran! β
Leo frowned, sensing Dubolan's resoluteness, and said coldly through the power of the contract.
"I'm sorry, Lord Leo, but I'm also a knight of Taiyan City."
Duboran's apologies were genuine, but he decided to stay.
Swinging his knight's sword at the skeleton warrior, Dubran roared and joined the fight.
"Whatever you want!"
Leo gritted his teeth and said angrily. Trem and the necromancers weren't going to give up easily, and now that Taiyan City was in chaos, he had to take Alina to a safe place first.
The effect of the [Third Shelter] had not yet dissipated, and the black qi that swirled outside the main palace met Leo, and they all dispersed, and after a while, he ran out of the center of the city with Alina in his arms.
Looking back, the black air in the distance still obscured the sky, but it was clear that it was safer here.
"That's, Leo."
Just as Leo was slandering Dubolan's rigidity in his heart and sighing that the number of [Slaves] would be one less, Alina's timid voice appeared.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Duboran, are you staying there?"
"Hmm."
βγ»γ»γ»β
Alina nodded, her expression a little complicated.
When Kiel and his party were in a crusade against her, who was a blasphemous, Dubran surprisingly did not participate.
Later, in the tavern and in prison, Dubran respected him very much.
Watching a good knight fall, not sad at all is deceitful.
"Alina..."
Hearing Leo's voice, Alina looked up in surprise.
"I... just want to save you, as long as I save you, I can only save you, and nothing else matters."
Leo gritted his teeth, looked at Alina's face, and blurted out his inner words.
Such words exposed the selfishness in his heart, but he did not feel guilty, because his empty heart was filled because of Alina.
Isn't this an option, and why does he have to follow a heroic path?
That kind of road comes to an end, and nothing is left.
Even with the guilt in his heart, he can touch happiness without regrets.
So, what does it matter if you escape for a while?
Yes, in the pouring rain and thunder and lightning, he understood.
It's just trying to save Alina, and the rest doesn't matter.
Without Alina, he is nothing more than an existence that has been squeezed by mercenaries.
Without Alina, he might just be struggling to survive somewhere in Taiyan City.
Without Alina, he wouldn't be where he is today.
For him, Alina is the purest salvation, a gift from heaven.
So he felt that he was right, whether he was selfish or not, he didn't want to think about it.
Alina froze for a moment, her heart was about to stop, time seemed to stand still for her.
Leo is a bit of her hero, saving him twice, but not in essence.
Although Leo's heart has reached her heart.
But she understands one thing, she is gradually becoming a constraint for Leo, and even an excuse to escape.
If Leo is going to be a true hero, she should make him more of a hero.
So, there is no escaping it.
Because Leo is also very pure to Alina.
"Leo..."
Alina bit her lip and looked at Leo earnestly.
She had made up her mind, and she was unusually determined.
"Be a real hero who doesn't just belong to me."
Alina's soft voice was like a drop of water on the surface of a quiet lake, and it quietly rippled in Leo's heart.
The Alina in front of her seems to be constantly overlapping with someone in her distant memory.
Memories are melting and flowing.
He remembered the conversation he had had before he crossed over, when he was about to enter the Blue Sky Castle.
"Your Excellency Knight Leo, there is a saying in our country of Bethes, when a hero faces a real battle, what he wants to show is not great strength and magic, but a heart that does not hesitate to face choices."
"Actually, I'm not a hero.,You NPCs don't understand.,You NPCs don't have to think about anything.,Just repeat the script.γγ»Actually, at this point,,I'm very envious of you.γ
"I am, I will always believe in you, Lord Knight."
"Okay, thank you."
yes, it turns out, it wasn't he who chose to be a hero.
How could such a great ideal sprout in a person like him?
I should have understood it a long time ago, but it's ridiculous that he's been running away.
Fate had told him this countless times, but it was a pity that he had only discovered it now.
The reason why he has not been able to escape.
ββIt was the hero who chose him.
