It was nearly midnight, and it was as dark as water. White stood alone at the head of the city, looking northwest, and a hundred kilometers away was Sosk.

After receiving Moriarty's message, White was still very conflicted.

He naturally understood the significance of the Battle of Windsor. If he wins, the whole of Kent will be alive, and the initiative on the battlefield will be transferred to the hands of mankind; However, if it is defeated, not only will it fail to break the siege but will be hit hard, and it is more likely that even the Rhineberg will not be able to survive under the domino effect. But if he returned to Moriarty's side like this and fought alongside the vampires, White would not be able to convince himself. The hatred between him and the undead was too deep for anyone around him to imagine. It is precisely in this situation that White feels especially painful and confused.

"Lord White, it seems that you have not made up your mind yet."

Behind the staircase not far away, Hadro had climbed the stairs and smiled.

"Humph!"

White was also extremely disgusted with this "ogre", and guessed that he was here to be a lobbyist for Moriarty, White couldn't help but snort coldly.

"I don't seem to be welcome, can you ask why?" The old steward was not in a hurry, and walked up to White with a calm expression.

"Knowingly asked." White looked at him coldly, without any pretense.

"Oh, it seems that Lord White has misunderstood me." The old steward's gray pupils were as deep as a well, as if they could engulf a figure.

"Misunderstanding? I can't get the ogre wrong. He was already uneasy, and White couldn't bear to talk to Hadro anymore, so he directly tore his face and shouted.

"Hehe, it turns out that His Excellency White has been worried about this matter." The old steward smiled. As if I had heard some kind of joke.

"What right do you have to laugh, ghoul!? To commit the great sin of cannibalism is simply an irreparable sin! Now that he had spoken, White simply spoke freely.

"Oh, gnawing on human corpses is naturally a sin, but who is not guilty of living in this turbid world?" In the face of White's angry rebuke, Hadro's face was as usual and he talked eloquently.

"Shut up! Do you think that everyone else is as crazy as you? White finally scolded, and then turned and walked away.

"Oh? So, Sir Wright, you are a clear one. Alone in the world? "The back of striding away. Hadro smiled sarcastically again.

"What do you mean?" Unable to bear the slander of the despicable, White turned around sharply, and even the steel armor he was wearing was shocked to a "click".

"Lord White, are you really living so clean?" Without fear, he stared firmly at the angry mid-tier warrior. The mockery at the corners of Hadro's mouth became more and more obvious.

"What the hell are you trying to say!" Pride and self-esteem as a warrior. White did not allow himself to make a move on the old man in front of him, who had no martial arts. Although he was impatient to the extreme.

"I have heard that your Excellency, before you followed Lord Moriarty, you fled thousands of miles with a renegade centurion, Lawrence, and joined the bandits. Raiding homes and robbing houses all the way, killing people and stealing goods? The old steward somehow found out about this past secret, and suddenly mentioned it.

Hearing this, White was stunned on the spot, unable to speak.

Indeed, it was a long time ago, and now that he was suddenly reminded, the images of the past in his mind seemed to be covered with a curtain of ashes, like fragments of memories from another generation.

It shouldn't be!

White only felt uncomfortable with a heart-pumping heart!

The pain of the past, the struggle of the past, and the parting of life and death have been evoked again, but the unforgettable heart has disappeared. What especially made White blame himself and unacceptable was that Centurion Lawrence's face slowly began to blur in the bottom of his heart, and it was no longer alive.

This is the power of time. The dead will always stop, and those who live can only move on. As the years passed, a person who thought he was an eternal person finally disappeared as he drifted away.

"Hehe, it seems that Your Excellency has remembered." However, Hadro simply ignored White's painful expression and continued to smile casually.

"Lord Lawrence is only a victim of the Dark Aristocracy, and under his leadership we have never harmed any innocent civilians. You bastard, you don't deserve to mention his name at all. Slowly exhaling the cold air, White raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word.

"But in the end, you are still deserters from the kingdom." The old steward hit the nail on the head coldly.

"What about you!? You ogre, not only eat people, but also betray your lord and eat your own master! Your ugliness can't even hold hell. Somewhat speechless, White cursed rarely.

"Ha, I betrayed the Loyanta family, which I once loyally to, I don't deny it. But Your Excellency, you are not betraying the past rulers or betraying the ideals of the past. Maybe you'll betray Lord Moriarty in the future, right? You see, now you are ignoring the war situation for the sake of a little selfish desire, stealing a corner of peace? Hadro raised his head slightly, his voice as cold as a blade, piercing into the deepest part of White's heart.

"No, I will never betray Morty! Even if I don't identify with that vampire pet, I won't turn my back on Moriarty! "Years ago, there was a forced abandonment, and now White doesn't want to relive the nightmare of the past even if he dies.

"You really won't betray Lord Moriarty?" The old steward asked solemnly.

"Never!" White was unequivocal.

"What if it's for the Lord, then?"

But at this moment, Hadro suddenly took a step forward and let out a low cry in front of the other party.

"Lord!?"

And when he heard this, White, who was so excited that he was almost violent just now, suddenly froze there, and just looked straight at the old man in front of him, as if he had never known him.

"Yes. Are you willing to betray Lord Moriarty for the sake of the Supreme Lord? ”

Looking at the sluggish White, Hadro slowly took out an old silver medallion from his arms.

In the center of the silver medallion is carved a glorious cross, and at the top of the cross is a crown of thorns.

"Cross of Thorns!"

When he saw the silver medal in the old man's hand, White woke up suddenly, but his expression was even more shocked than before, and his eyes were completely incredulous.

"Why, surprised? White 'Paladin'? ”

Hadro smiled slightly, but his expression was as solemn as a tombstone in front of a mausoleum. At the same time, the cross silver medallion in his palm inexplicably emitted a faint holy light, projecting on the ground, forming a striking light cross.

"Why you? How could it be you? How can a sinner like you be a 'hidden priest'!? When White saw the light cross, his expression was immediately so excited that he couldn't help himself, but he lowered his voice and asked.

"Why can't it be me?" Hadro looked back at White, and finally withdrew his smile, with indescribable solemnity and sacredness, and said, "He who loves his father and mother more than he loves me is not worthy to be my disciple; He who loves his wife and children more than I am not worthy to be my disciple; He who loves himself and loves me is not worthy to be my disciple. White Paladin, do you remember the Word? ”

This is a widely circulated prophecy recorded in the "Holy Scriptures" when the Church of Light was prosperous. However, with the rapid decline of the church, it has long since ceased to be mentioned. Tonight, it suddenly came out of Hadro's mouth, but it seemed to pass through the dusty time, like the resurrection of the dead.

"Yes, I remember." After a little more hesitation, White finally exhaled a long breath, then fell on one knee towards the light cross on the ground, bowed his head and prayed, "Lord! May your light fall from heaven and shine on this world and save all beings from falling into darkness. Host! May your way reach the earth, the best and the truest, and the shepherding of the Lamb to the supreme heaven. ”

"Good." Seeing the other party kneeling down and reciting the holy words devoutly, Hadro nodded his head lightly with an expressionless face and said, "You just asked, 'Why me', I can talk to you now." Viscount Xianluo Yanta is a wise man for me, and he is my sovereign, but he can't jump to the supreme 'lord'. So, in order to continue the mission of the Lord, in order to survive and preserve this useful body, what is it if I eat his son? ”

Hadrow's words were dignified and righteous, and there was no guilt between the pitches.

And in this regard, White, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't think of any fallacy for a while. As the Word says, there is no leap in loving one's neighbor and oneself over loving God. So from this point of view, if Hadro really eats people for the "cause of the Lord," it is also a saint-like feat. Not only is there no sin, but there is great good.

So for the old man's words, White was only dumb.

"What about you? White Paladin, does the love of the 'Lord' transcend a qiē? Seeing that the other party was silent, the old man took another step, looked at White condescendingly, and began to question.

"Yes, I love the Lord more than a qiē."

White could clearly feel a pair of sharp and merciless gazes on him from above, even though he knew that the other party was not threatening, but he still felt a shiver. It's as if God is looking at Himself through these mundane eyes.

"And what about Moriarty?"

Finally, Hadro took his blade straight to the core. White swore that he would never turn his back on Moriarty, but what about when he took the command of the "Lord"?

As for the old man's question, White really didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

"Answer me! White Paladin, answer me! Do you love the Lord more than Moriarty!? But the old man did not mean to let the other party go in the slightest, and immediately asked sternly in his ear.

Because this question seems simple, it is the touchstone of "whether there is great faith or not". Just like Hadrow, in order to stay alive and continue to complete the mission, he can do whatever it takes, even if he cannibalism, then if White is loyal to the "Lord" for more than one qiē, he should naturally have the consciousness of giving up or even betraying anyone.

As long as "the Lord" asks Him to do so!

After being repeatedly questioned by Hadro, and facing this hidden priest who was unworthy of the identity of an "ogre" in the past, White's thoughts were finally completely confused.

In a trance, he only felt that the qiē in front of him began to turn upside down. (To be continued......)
