Chapter 20: The Lost Thing, the Death of the Past (II)
The light on the surface of the sea gradually advanced, and it was already possible to see that they were gray ships made of mist—obviously some kind of spiritual suit used at sea, all in the style of the Age of Discovery.
The longsword in Glory's hand, which seemed to be more ceremonial than practical, swung suddenly-
The sea in front of him began to surge as if it were boiling, and then a wall of water more than 200 meters long and dozens of meters high was erected in an instant.
"Look at it, boy. Glory's Magic Classroom, the last lesson. ”
When the waterfall of the sea fell like a whirl, a translucent ice battleship appeared on the surface of the sea.
A smile appeared on Glory's face that he would never see on a regular basis:
"Naval Suit - The Flying Dutchman."
Judging from the appearance, it is a modern battleship, with an angular hull, bow and stern with the same giant cannon.
couldn't help but say a word to pick up the distracted Zax, and Glory flew and jumped onto the deck of the battleship:
"The allusion used is the legend of the Dutchman who flew on the sea, the composition of the hull can be whatever you want, as long as the corresponding meaning is given to the material, here the ice is used from local materials, as for the style of the ship"
Glori's ceremonial sword tightened in his hand:
"This commander's saber not only has the function of 'overseeing the team', but also has other uses. This sword was originally used by George V, as the famous 'King of Sailors', and it was a sword he used when he sailed the seas. Using the sword used by the King of England and the legend between George V and the 'Flying Dutchman', it was twisted to create the battleship George V."
Holding Zax around the neck like a chicken, Gray made his way to the bow's main gun.
"It's not just the historical George V, it's the product of the concept and history of all the battleships of the George V type, and it's possible to do it."
A hatch-like gap suddenly cracked in the back of the main gun, and Lorry shoved Zax inside.
"If you have the chance, please relay it to Lola, Miss Stuart."
Before the thick ice fell, Zax, who was already in a sluggish state, heard the head of the Knights of the Sorrowful Country, Glori. Beckett put it this way:
"It's a pity that we can't continue to serve while chasing our dreams. Also, hurry up and find a good man to marry. ”
In the last battle of the battle to encircle and suppress the Knights of the Worried Country, almost all of the "Invincible Armada" of the Spanish Star Sect were turned into ice sculptures on the sea, and the Invincible Armada existed in name only; Due to the death of a large number of elite magicians, there was a talent gap, which led to the weakness of the Spanish Star Sect in the following decades, and even happened to be almost broken by a British mercenary alone.
The "George V" continued to draw seawater to heal itself during the battle, and the Spanish Star Sect finally had to use the roadbed and the sea-based fortress to use a combination of large-scale flash magic to vaporize it instantly.
No one noticed that one of the shells fired by the George V was wrapped in a teenager who had undergone special surgery
Zacks, who survived death, needs an answer:
Who is to blame in the end.
Who killed everyone?
Who the hell betrayed the Knights of the Worried Country
He began a secret investigation in London.
However, all the facts and evidence indicate that it was the girl with dazzling long blond hair who pushed the Knights of the Kingdom of Sorrow into the abyss.
The Knights of the Worried Country, who have always been the strong backing of the girl, have become a group of fools who are played with in the palm of their hands.
Zax, who never drank, gets drunk in a tavern and is thrown into the garbage penniless.
Looking up, you can see the still overcast sky of London.
The dripping rain dripped on the chapped lips, cold and stinging.
"Hero hehehehehe"
The young man who covered his eyes with one hand, lying on his back in the garbage heap, laughed wildly, laughed until he was out of breath, laughed until he began to cough painfully, and laughed until tears and snot flowed:
"It's just a bunch of fucking idiots!"
Zax, who was like a dead heart, left London in a drizzling rain.
There is no purpose or goal, these things have long been shattered with the destruction of the Knights of the Sorrowful Country and the betrayal of the maiden.
Until, he found the sword.
A true sword of kings.
Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes distinguishing the gorgeous patterns on the sword inch by inch, Zax's dead pupils gradually became bright, and then became fanatical.
With this sword, with this sword
Like the teacher, you can also make a sea spirit costume - the flying Dutchman!
It was enough to destroy the city and the country.
With its words
Revenge.
So, Zax started to act regardless of the consequences.
That sword can only be used by a true king. It doesn't matter, it is enough to construct the "Sword of Damocles" technique to give yourself the meaning of "king", although the price is that you must be distracted from all the time from now on to maintain the operation of the technique
I can't construct the whole technique of the flying Dutchman like the teacher. It doesn't matter, just divide the procedure into dozens of modules and combine them separately, although the cost is to increase the operation of the procedure to thirty-six and make it impossible to sleep again
Lack of mana? It's good to overdraw your life; Not enough materials? It doesn't matter if you steal or rob
I tried everything I could, and it took a lot of effort.
Flying Dutchman, done.
After ten years of use, Zax finally brought back to life the Flying Dutchman, the greatest trump card of the Knights of the Sorrowful Country.
However, Zax's purpose has quietly changed.
In the past ten years, he has experienced countless adventures and battles, and has seen countless joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
He gradually understood his master's words, and gradually understood what the Knights of the Worried Country were fighting for.
gradually understood the girl's "betrayal" at the beginning.
For the UK.
Zax understood the heaviness of a few words.
Is killing someone to save someone good or evil?
Is it ethical to choose to abandon the few for the sake of the many?
Is the decision to abandon the Knights of the Sorrowful Order for the sake of the national interest a betrayal?
It doesn't matter.
It really doesn't matter.
Importantly, there are times when someone has to do these things for the sake of the UK.
It wasn't until this time that Zax realized that he was just a child who was spoiled by everyone.
"It's not too late to understand until now."
Tears have flowed down her cheeks at some point:
"The belief of the Knights of the Worried Country will be inherited from below."
As if he understood the meaning of his existence in an instant, Zax declared in front of the huge ice ship "The Flying Dutchman":
"Once a man has chosen his own path, he neither retreats nor regrets! Right and wrong, as long as you have a clear conscience, what are the regrets? ”
Zax, who had completed his spiritual costume, returned to London, but did not have the courage to return to the girl again.
He didn't know what to do with her.
Love? Hatred? Oppugn? Understand?
The blood of the Knights of the Sorrowful Country was too heavy for him to choose to face the girl directly.
Zax needed a chance, a chance to be in front of her as a matter of course.
However, the girl's actions and decisions have been leaky, and for decades, let alone saving her from danger like a knight, she has not even had the opportunity to catch her decision-making mistakes and stand in front of her and say, "For the sake of Britain, this is not good".
So, Zax lurked in London for decades
Like an ignorant teenager who was about to confess, Zax wanted to muster up the courage to appear in front of her countless times, but he flinched countless times.
Until I was awakened by a girl with short brown hair
It is the bastard in front of him who crushed the "flying Dutchman" who carried the belief of himself and the Knights of the Worried Country.
The singularity of the world's twisting.
From a magical point of view, the world usually does not change much due to individual special beings, because the huge correction power of the world itself will minimize or even eliminate the influence of those special beings in various ways.
For example, if angels or demons, things that do not exist in this world, if they come, they will cause chaos in the world.
However, this level of disorder is still within the scope of the world's own corrective ability - such as the "Angelic Fall", which is inherently providential to guide some people to solve such events, and ordinary people will be ignorant of what is happening due to the world's corrective ability.
But there are always exceptions.
There is a special existence that actually affects the world, and the world's corrective power cannot do anything about it.
This existence is called the singularity of the distortion of the world.
It could be an object, it could be a cat, it could be a piece of text, a spiritual outfit, of course, most likely, a person.
The existence of the singularity will spread to the whole world due to the butterfly effect, and then affect the fate of all people, groups, countries and even the whole world, and the direction of the world line will be completely changed due to the "distorted singularity of the world".
The world has been distorted.
Whether it is the confrontation between science and magic in the world now, or the current predicament in Britain, Zacks believes that it is caused by this guy in front of him.
Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with her directly, but it's because of her existence that the world has been distorted into what it is now, isn't it? Eliminate her, and Britain's situation will inevitably change, won't it?
But the girl, who has always had no last resort, chose to shelter the culprit this time.
For Zax, this is exactly the one that can stand up to Lola. Great opportunity in front of Stuart!
