Rumble!

Another earth-shattering explosion.

Lord shuddered several times again.

This time, the firelight directly illuminated the entire night sky of Lord.

The billowing smoke obscured the stars and the moon.

People watched all this with trepidation.

Subsequently—

"Ahhh

A shrill cry suddenly rang out, coming from the edge of the city.

Then, more screams followed.

"Ahhh

"Don't come here!"

"Monster! Monster! ”

Screams quickly spread from the edge of the city to the city center.

Pea Street, street entrance.

Jason saw the explosion, and after hearing Bundy's explanation that it was a barracks, his face changed, and at this time, it was even more difficult to see the extreme.

He heard that scream.

When the wings of his nose stirred, he smelled a faint stench.

It was the characteristic stench of decomposing corpses.

There is no doubt that these corpses should be the ones that have disappeared.

When the old sir was assassinated, the barracks were destroyed, and the two biggest forces guarding Lord disappeared, it was when these disappeared corpses reappeared.

Ruined all of Lorde!

Or some other purpose.

Jason doesn't know for the time being.

But he knows that the layout of this 'organization' is like a cobweb!

Although he slightly spoiled several of them.

but

The whole cobweb is still there.

And now......

The other party is ready to close the net!

Looking at Tanier, who had completed the temporary treatment, Jason said without hesitation:

"Go to 10 Pea Street!"

"Bring explosives."

If he could, Jason would never have entered Pea Street again.

Even with the old sir's cleanup.

Because......

There had been a force here that he couldn't resist.

But now, he has no choice.

It was exposed, unsupported in the face of the swarming corpses.

Or choose a house with a solid main structure as a resistance.

After a little thought, Jason had the answer.

Bundy, Finch, and the other twenty had no opinion.

After helping Tanier lift the old knight onto a flatbed truck with explosives, the group approaches Pea Street.

Jason was the first to enter it, and with more than twice the perception of ordinary people, he quickly confirmed that there was no danger here for the time being, and beckoned behind him.

Everyone immediately entered Pea Street.

Standing in front of Gate 10 Pea Street, Jason looked at the tightly knit fence gate and the main building door, and he didn't break in directly, but pulled the old-fashioned doorbell twice in a row as he remembered Tanier.

Pity......

The fence gate and the door of the main building were not opened.

"Is it sabotage?"

Jason sighed inwardly.

He knew very well what such sabotage represented.

10 Pea Street, should ......

There are no more living people.

In fact, it is also true.

When the group walked into the main building, they saw Eric sitting on the ground with his back against the wall.

The middle-aged servant of the old knight had wide eyes, his chin opening and closing exaggeratedly, his tongue missing, and his blood-stained hands hanging limply at his sides.

Looking at Eric's body, everyone fell silent for a while.

I guessed the result, but when I saw it, it was still hard to accept.

"Bundy, you arrange for two people to go to the roof and keep an eye on the surroundings."

"The rest of the people searched for the body."

"The body that will be found ......"

"Burn them all."

Jason bowed his head slightly for a moment before speaking.

"Burn it?"

"Got it!"

As soon as Bundy pressed his hat, he immediately led a group of people into action.

Suddenly, everyone sprang into action.

Only in the hall remained, Jason and Tanier, who took care of the old knight.

Another potion was poured on the old sir's wound, and after carefully observing the wound, the young teacher of the Deer Academy couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The wound did not get any better.

On the contrary, it continues to deteriorate.

At the current level, the old sir may not be able to survive the dawn.

"A good man like Sir Beta."

"It shouldn't end like this."

Leaning limply on the wheels of the cart, Taniel muttered to himself.

Jason didn't answer.

Or rather......

He didn't know how to answer.

Even, he doesn't know anything about it.

To the humanity here.

on the geography here.

To the folklore here.

The power here.

He didn't even understand.

All he did was to live.

This was the case when I took office as the 'Night Watchman'.

This is true when I was appointed as a 'grave keeper'.

He was like a blind man crossing a river, constantly touching the stones in front of him, always trying to grasp the biggest and most stable one, but the further he went, the more turbulent the river became.

If he's not careful, he'll be flooded by the river.

And now?

The river is not only turbulent.

Beneath the surface of the river, there are countless monsters lurking.

"What are you confused about?"

A sudden voice sounded behind him.

Not Taniel.

It's the old sir.

The badly wounded old jazz woke up, leaning on the explosives box, pushing away Tanier's support, struggling to sit up, and then, with a smile on his face, looked at Jason, who turned around and remained silent.

After staring at Jason for a few seconds, the old jazz smiled even brighter.

"You're the same as your teacher."

"That Dan."

"When I first came into contact with 'that power', I was as uneasy and confused as you."

"Like you......"

"I didn't think about how to throw in the towel."

"yes."

"'Night watchman', how can you throw in the towel?"

The old knight said, his expression full of memories.

Under the messy white hair, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled.

The old knight stepped off the cart with such a stride.

The body stood straight in front of Jason.

"I have something for you."

"Follow me."

With that, the old sir turned and walked underground.

But as he passed by his servant Eric, the old knight stumbled.

He raised his hand and closed the servant's round eyes.

He also wanted to close the servant's chin.

But I tried several times, but it didn't work.

"Sir, I'll help you."

Taniel immobilizes the chin of Eric's corpse with a bandage.

"Thanks, Tanier."

"If only this house could ever exist."

"I'll leave it to you."

The old knight said, and continued to walk underground.

Jason hesitated for a moment, then stepped along.

Underground hall, inside the tent.

The starlight has long since dimmed.

The tables and chairs are even more messy.

The old knight raised his hand and plucked the brightest star.

"It's called 'Star Shine', and it's for you."

"And this ......"

"You need it."

The old knight walked to the empty place, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a thick book appeared in his hand.

With 'Starlight', he handed it to Jason.

Jason didn't take it, just silently looked at the old jazz in front of him.

"Don't worry."

"It's not for you to take it for nothing."

"How about we make a deal?"

The old sir asked with a smile.

"What deal?"

Jason finally spoke this time.

The voice is slightly hoarse.

"Help me put on my armor."

The old knight pointed to the other side, and in the empty place, a set of full-body armor and a knight's spear appeared again.

"Okay."

Jason nodded.

Said it was to help put on the armor, but in fact, as soon as the old knight pulled out the dagger in his abdomen and threw it on the ground, he put it on his own, and Jason just stood there with the knight's spear.

The old knight, who had put it all on, slowly lifted his helmet.

Took the spear.

A loud voice sounded behind the visor—

"Humility!"

"Mercy!"

"Justice!"

"Heroic!"

"Honest!"

"Glory!"

"Sacrifice!"

At the first word, a white glow appeared on the old sir.

Every word sounds, and the light shines brighter.

When the word 'sacrifice' came out, this brilliance became substance.

The next moment, it was even louder, like a thunderous sound that resounded in the sky.

"Knight, live to die—"

"Charge!"

In an instant, a figure composed entirely of light broke through the sky.

Only remain,

The old knight in armor and spear held aloft in place.

Jason looked at the old man in front of him quietly.

After a few moments, he took off his hunting cap.

Place it on your chest and bow slightly.
