Chapter 568: Hero's Path
"Before I answer this question, can I know where you found him from?"
"He came to me on his own initiative. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Mommer couldn't believe that the probability of a mortal, a witch, and an unrelated polar figure intersecting with each other's lives was almost zero, but the result was unexpectedly absurd.
"He used to have a name, and you won't be a stranger to it." Herris continued.
"Who is he?" Mommer hurriedly said.
"Derfrank Charan." Herris revealed the other party's true identity in a flat tone, and there was no need for her to hide it from Momer.
“…… It turned out to be him? Mommer thought for a moment and frowned, "But his age and appearance are completely no longer similar to the description wanted at the time!" And isn't he dead? ”
"When he met me, he was not far from death." "But I not only saved him, but also gave him a new body," Herris said lightly. ”
"I see." Mommer couldn't help but say suddenly. "No wonder his strength has grown by leaps and bounds."
"Listen to you, he seems to have shocked you quite a bit?" Heris said.
"Indeed!" Momer said with a solemn expression: "In more than half a year, he has been promoted to the highest level, and even touched the power of the law realm in some aspects, even in the face of the peak of the upper rank where his strength is far apart, he may be able to win the battle." ”
"He didn't let me down." Heris amazed.
"Could it be that he is the Thirteen Knights you have chosen?" Mommer asked.
"It's just one of the choices to be determined." Heris said. "At the moment, he is far from qualified."
"This time to Cologne, I want you to take Grahide with them." Momer Road.
"No, I'll be alone this time." Herris's tone was full of non-doubt, "They have other tasks on their agenda. ”
"But......" Mommer worried, "the people you come into contact with are too dangerous, if the negotiations fail, once there is a conflict, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable, you must not forget, this is too close to the Revelation Mountain." ”
"Humph! Do you think Apocalypse Mountain is still in the mood to take care of us right now? Herris snorted.
“……”
Mommer sighed secretly and stopped dissuading, because he knew that he was powerless to change the other party's thoughts and decisions.

With a soft sound, the snail of Kloros in Momer's hand finally couldn't withstand the erosion of the power of the laws of space, and began to disintegrate layer by layer, and finally turned into a pinch of delicate red sand that slowly slipped from between his fingers.
The communication ended in silence, but there are many words in the heart that have not been finished, and they have not seen each other for three years, some people have become passers-by of life, and some people have always remembered and never forgotten, especially if they love someone, the deeper they are, the more restrained they are, and it is difficult to express their inner emotions even if there are thousands of words.
He was looking forward to her arrival, but he didn't want her to come, maybe contradictory, maybe tangled, seeing or not seeing, he couldn't help himself.
The wind in the distance disturbs the quiet beauty of autumn, like the ancient well lake that stirs up layers of ripples, everything becomes strange and restless, and the magnificence of the great era always appears in your life inadvertently, silently, like a dream, when you wake up, you have fallen into confusion unconsciously.
The chaos in Cologne continues to ferment, the carnival of sin is like a feast of ugly human nature, the cry of grief and despair spreads in every corner of the town where misfortune occurs, and the army that originally guarded the people has betrayed their faith, and their deliberately negligent laissez-faire attitude makes them more like the executioners who caused all this tragedy.
In the face of the chaos of Cologne, the only thing the church could do was to send someone to contact the Knights Templar outside the city for emergency rescue, but unfortunately, all the people they sent were unknown and their whereabouts were unknown.
"Are you really not going to send the Knights to quell the chaos in Cologne?"
If there was no one in the Order who knew the situation in Cologne better than Mommer, he remained unmoved, seemingly unconcerned about the templars' requirement.
When Xia Lan met the other party in the martial arts arena, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"In accordance with the regulations of military operations established by the Templars, no member of the Order is allowed to leave the garrison without obtaining an express official order from the Bishop of the local jurisdiction."
Momer **** with a strong upper body, wielding a big sword in his hand, practiced swordsmanship unhurriedly.
"Actually, you're worried about the backlash on the other side, right?"
Xia Lan would not believe the reason he gave.
"If you know it in your heart, why ask?"
Mommer said expressionlessly.
"I just regret that you gave up the opportunity to be a hero."
With the armed forces of the Templar brigade in the camp, it is not difficult to clear out the ghosts and snakes who are causing trouble in Cologne, and even if the ban on the march of the Templars is violated, the credit will definitely outweigh the fault. The problem is that Mommer chose to be indifferent, thinking that it was nothing more than afraid that the other party would reveal his identity.
"Heroes tend to live too tired, and I don't have the potential to be a hero." Mommer glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "What? Are you going to be the savior of the people of Cologne? ”
"Yes." Xia Lan nodded, and her answer was unexpected.
"What do you think?"
Momer's wielded greatsword stopped in mid-air, and the look in his eyes was full of strangeness.
"I want to use this as a step to blend into the heart of the Templar." Charland Road.
"Is that what Herris meant or do you mean?" Momer put down the sword path in his hand.
"What's the difference?" Xia Lan asked.
"Is there a difference between doing what you are told and being asserted?" Mommer asked rhetorically.
"What if the latter would be more beneficial?" Charland Road.
"I'm not pedantic, but you should know that the latter means a risk far beyond what you and I can afford." Mommer said calmly.
"I understand your consideration from your own standpoint, but don't forget, I'm not you, in terms of strength and importance, I'm just an unintentional pawn in Herris's eyes, even if anything happens to me, it won't affect her layout." Xia Lan said: "On the contrary, what if this chess piece plays an unexpected role? ”
Mommer looked at him deeply and said, "I don't understand one thing, why you are so concerned about the matter of Hereth. ”
"I have my reasons." Charland Road.
"It's a pity that I can't help you much." Momer Road.
"All I need is a squad of twenty Templars on my orders." Charland Road.
"Twenty is too many." Mommer shook his head. "Ten people is already my limit."
"Thank you." Xia Lan said solemnly.
"I'll explain afterwards that this was your own doing." Momer waved his hand.
"Understood."
……
……
Now that Cologne has become a tiger's den, Xia Lan's adventure to Cologne is tantamount to suicide, but opportunities and risks coexist, if he wants to emerge from the Holy Church, if he wants to complete the task of the system as soon as possible, if he wants not to eliminate the treacherous era in the future, then, he must make this decision to die.
Life and death are rich and rich, I don't know when he began to become brave and fearless, no longer like before everything has to be carefully considered, since he can't grasp the lifeblood of the future, only rampage may be able to win a glimmer of life, with this kind of fleeting thought, he doesn't know whether his choice is right or wrong.
Dressed in silver armor, Xia Lan wrapped his helmet in one hand and straddled the handsome white warhorse, the cool breeze caressed, the cloak flying, facing Momer, who was leading the group of Templars to say goodbye to them, looking at each other for a long time, silent, no declaration of mobilization, no inspiring encouragement, what to say, what to do, each other already understood.
"This is a farewell, the road ahead is dangerous, you cherish, I hope you should return triumphantly and not fall into the name of the Templars."
Charan slowly put his helmet on, his eyes calm and deep, and he made a chivalric salute to the solemn Momer, then tugged at the reins, and with the neighing of his horse, he and the rest of the Templars drifted away until they disappeared from sight.
Looking at their departing backs, Mommer stood for a long time, and a sigh was under his expressionless face, because he knew that he would completely lose his unknown subordinates for this rash action.
The ten Templars he sent to Xia Lan may not be the strongest, but they must be the most experienced warriors, and the loss of any of them would be a loss for the Templars.
He told the ten knights about the situation in Cologne, and that this operation was intended to save the innocent people of Cologne, but it was only due to the conditions of the Templar's military operation that it was impossible to send troops to suppress it on a large scale, so he could only make this decision, hoping that they would suppress the rebellion of the refugees as much as possible and save the people of Cologne from fire and water.
Establishing the moral high ground and taking the righteous position, as the most staunch enforcers of the Templar doctrine and faith, the ten Templars had no reason to refuse this honorable mission, even if it violated their code of conduct, and everything came to fruition as Mommer had expected.
For Xia Lan, who commanded their captain, everyone with a discerning eye knew that he was Momer's henchman, and besides, the strong strength he showed in the induction ceremony was enough to be recognized by everyone, as long as his orders for combat command were not too outrageous, they would still be willing to obey.
Since the beginning of the refugee riots, all gates of Cologne have been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. When the riots in the city were in full swing, the people trapped in the city and trying to flee were blocked, no matter how much they cried and cried, the soldiers in charge of the city defense were indifferent. The masterminds behind the city hall and the army gave a rather ridiculous reason: after it was found that there were cultists in the city who were causing chaos, the cultists refused to let them go before they were caught. For this reason, a violent clash broke out between the desperate people at the city gate and the city guards, which ended in a bloody suppression by the city guards.
Instead of suppressing the refugee riots, the soldiers inflicted their swords on innocent people, one can imagine the despair and resentment in the hearts of the people.
When the silhouette of Cologne gradually appeared in the distance, and Xia Lan, who had led ten Templars to come to the rescue, slowly took out a javelin as his horse galloped, and as the city drew closer and closer, the city guards could be seen on the battlements of the city wall, Xia Lan raised his javelin, and the air currents that were visible to the naked eye lingered in the javelin that gathered the furious atmosphere.
No explanation, no communication.
At an instant when he was only a few dozen steps away from the city gate, the javelin in Xia Lan's hand was thrown violently.
The next moment.
The gate burst with a huge opening.
Xia Lan pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted with a grim expression.
"Knights of the Ninth Brigade under the command of the Templar Knights, Grimm, have been ordered to enter the city to quell the chaos, and anyone who stands in the way will be killed!" (To be continued.) )
