With the proposal of the tower master of the relic, the crowd watched left and right, but soon, there was the first person to act - a representative of the dark mercenaries chose to stand behind the tower master of the tower of thorns, followed by more dark mercenaries, and more than half of the family representatives.

Old man Fletcher did not go over, but stood beside the Lord of the Tower of the Relic, as a way to express his opinion, and at the same time to express his indignation at the departed representatives of the family; However, no one cares - between the family, it is based on interests, and everyone is used to it.

Those rich people and bodyguards also made a choice and stood very firmly on the side of the supreme government.

In the face of the danger to their lives, it is completely normal for them to have such a choice, and it is surprising to choose anything else.

After that, everyone looked at the little man.

In other words, it is Ye Qi and his party - Ye Qi's four, Little Thor, and the Holy Dragon Knights, which are definitely a force that cannot be ignored, and the previous battles have clearly shown the combat effectiveness of these people, and if they can, everyone will not give up.

However, the outcome is not determined by the will of these people -

"Ladies and gentlemen, I respect your choice...... Moreover, I think each has its own reason! However, I also have our choice, and I hope you will also respect it accordingly! ”

After glancing at 'Ye Qi', the little man stood up as a representative.

"What do you mean?"

Dides asked in a deep voice.

As the leader of the supreme government, he did not want such a new force to go away; In fact, he very much hoped to get the help of Ye Qi and his party. And again before. He was sure that the other party would not choose anything else. At most, it's just like any other witcher, neutral.

However, now it seems that something is more than he expected.

"We have an appointment with His Excellency Tozan, and we must leave early!"

The little man said helplessly.

"Tozan ......"

Dides groaned, and on the first day of the opening of the Radiant Canyon, he had also met the former leader of the Holy Knights, and had greeted each other; However, after entering the canyon, he did not see the leader of the original Holy Knights again; on this. Dides had wondered, too.

It's just that such doubts did not last.

After all, it seemed to him that Tozan, the former head of the Holy Knights, was inextricably linked to the Holy See itself, and it was too much of a drain to distinguish everything from it; It's far better to give up and then, wait to see the final result, come effectively.

But. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would have an agreement with Ye Qi and his party.

on this. Dides maintained a certain amount of suspicion, but he had heard the rumors in the Frost Forest area, and he had heard it from far away in Dude, and he could not completely deny it.

Dides, hesitating, looked at Blank.

"Witchers are always free, anytime, anywhere!"

The Lord of the Tower of the Relic said very calmly.

"Looks like I have enough companions!"

The Lord of the Tower of Thorns said this, but as soon as the words fell, he was interrupted by the little man waving his hand.

"I think Lord Mordred Tower has misunderstood! We definitely don't want to accompany you, after all, we have an agreement that we must march quickly! With a little helplessness, the little man shrugged his shoulders towards the Tower Master of Athletics, "And you're too slow!" ”

"Am I too slow?"

The Tower of Thorns tower's brows furrowed, and the next moment, including 'Ye Qi', who was sitting on Groning's body, invariably rose into the air.

That fleeting breath made the Lord of the Tower of Thorns narrow.

There were more than five transcendental, and the rest were all solar level breath, which was already quite amazing, and what was even more amazing was that even at this time, he couldn't tell what kind of realm Ye Qi's aura had reached.

Similarly, the shocked Dides also had a rough guess about Ye Qi's strength because he had fought him, but he never knew that Ye Qi had such a powerful power around him.

As for the families, the dark mercenaries?

Choosing silence at this time is undoubtedly their best choice.

Only Blanc smiled indifferently, which made Jemond, who was standing on the side, stunned.

……

"That Blancta Lord is really very generous!"

Little Thor, who was flying with the help of the armor of the Holy Dragon Knights beside him, said with a great sigh in mid-air.

"yes, Blank is one of the people I respect the most!"

The big man nodded, and said in agreement - in fact, before he became an official witcher, Darlan often worked in a shop called the Holy Hammer Weapon Collection, earning some necessary living expenses, and the owner of that shop was the owner of the Relic Tower.

Therefore, the big man and Blank are quite familiar; Privately, between the two parties, there is not even an honorific title or something.

"Lord Blancta deserves to be respected—simply because he sees the big picture in front of him!" The little man said with a smile, "The Supreme Government, the various families, the dark mercenaries, and our demon hunters themselves have conflicts of ideas and interests, and even if they are twisted together, they will collapse and fall apart at a critical moment due to certain events; It's far better to act separately as you do now! ”

"But ......"

The big man scratched his head and looked at his friend with some confusion.

"Darlan, you're trying to ask about the disagreement between Lord Blancta and Lord Mordred?" After seeing the big man nod again, the little man explained: "The disagreement between the two tower masters is true, but it is definitely not as serious as it seems, their disagreement is only about how to identify which of our companions is the one who really needs to be protected, and which one is the pawn that the Pope secretly played!" ”

"What?"

The big man and the little Thor were both stunned, obviously, the two of them didn't think of this.

"So many rich and dark mercenaries have received invitations. Maybe they're quite famous. Even being a burden that drags down our itinerary is enough to give us a headache. However, if I were the Pope, I would definitely have done it more thoroughly, after all, it is easy to conquer a castle from within! ”

The little man said with a smile.

"The families and dark mercenaries who want to rush to the bottom of the sacred mountain must be people who want to see the truth wholeheartedly; And among those who remained. There must be some ill-intentioned people hiding there! The little man continued, "Of course, there may be some errors, but we don't need to worry about this - the two tower masters will definitely do better than us!" ”

"What we need now is to hurry to Mount Kinabalu!"

Taking a deep breath, the little man said.

Obviously, the so-called 'agreement with Tozan' was not a casual excuse for the little man. It's real.

At the moment when the speed increased, the big man looked at 'Ye Qi' who was sitting on Groening's back. He let out a sigh and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to stay any longer, I'm always worried that something will happen and someone will find out!" ”

"So, Darlan, you're an honest man!" The little man pointed at Ava and said, "Look at Ava, even if he is very nervous, he will remain silent so that it is impossible to see what he is thinking - this is a good disguise, you can try it!" ”

"Or you just learn to get through and think of yourself as a shameless guy!"

Ava, who was silent, said in that nonchalant tone.

"Am I shameless? Isn't that here? ”

The little man touched his cheek and said seriously.

Suddenly, a series of laughter rang out, and the happiest laugh was the big man—for the honest big man, the innocuous jokes between his companions always made him happy, because it made him feel that everyone was familiar with his family, and it was more lively.

As for the little man and Ava?

The former has no skin and no face, so it doesn't matter at all; The latter will accept it calmly, after all, although they can talk to animals, they are far less direct and comfortable than communicating with people.

After a short joke, the speed of the group suddenly accelerated, pointing in the direction of the sacred mountain, and flew away at a rapid speed.

……

And at the foot of the sacred mountain, the glittering light, as if entering the 'kingdom of heaven', was where Tozan, the former head of the Holy Knights, was standing.

Or rather waiting.

He had arrived six days earlier, but he had not seen Iyeta, only by a cardinal archbishop, and he would have to wait for the arrival of the followers before he could see Iyeta herself; Then the cardinal arranged for him a room, food, and water.

Tozan didn't accept it, though, and he just stood there and waited.

At this moment, it was already the afternoon of the seventh day, and there were only four hours left before sunset, and all he needed was to wait for another four hours.

This is not a difficult thing for Tozan, who has been waiting for six days.

However, a commotion from the sacred mountain made Tozan, who was waiting quietly, frown-

"What's going on up there?"

Tozan turned his head and asked the Punishment Knight standing beside him.

At the foot of the sacred mountain, there are two teams of punishment knights stationed all year round, and most of the time they simply maintain order; However, after Tozan appeared, he naturally had other tasks.

The two captains of the Punishment Knights glanced at each other, and did not give Tozan a direct answer, but one of them ran towards the top of the mountain - as the guards of the sacred mountain, they should go to find out what happened.

And just a moment later, the captain of the punishment knight ran back with a big change in his face.

"What happened?"

The other captain of the punishment knight looked at the changed face of his colleague and asked subconsciously.

"The regiment, the regimental commander is dead!"

The captain of the Punishment Knight, who had gone to check, said in a choppy voice.

"What? How is this possible? How could the regimental commander die? Who's the hand? ”

The face of the waiting captain of the punishment knight also changed, and he asked again and again with an unbelievable tone.

"The head of the regiment is suicidal...... Because His Majesty the Pope used the head of the regiment to set a trap for outsiders who came to the Sacred Forest this time, the head of the regiment thought that he was an accomplice and violated his own knightly ways. Committed suicide in prison! ”

The captain of the Punishment Knight, who had gone to check it out, had apparently inquired about the whole thing quite clearly. 1510 said it.

And wait until the captain of the punishment knight has finished speaking. The Punishment Knights present were all stunned, and silence began to spread among them.

The depression of dead silence made it impossible for anyone to speak normally at this time.

Some of the punishment knights held their weapons tightly, and a thick resentment appeared on their faces.

It has to be said that Lyman plays the role of a knight, which is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - although there is a fight, even the enemy will show respect for a real knight. Not to mention his subordinates; When the dark creatures invaded, the knights standing beside Lyman were honored to be able to fight alongside Ryman.

These were originally ordinary Guardian Knights, but after that, all of them became Knights of Punishment.

Coincidentally, among the two teams of punishment knights in front of him, one of them was the original aphar knight.

He staggered to the ground, his weapon and shield falling to the ground, and then, crawling, he ran toward the sacred mountain; And the two Punishment Knight captains. I was about to say something, but was stopped by a tall figure—

"Reverence from the bottom of my heart. Just like faith, it cannot be offended or stopped! ”

Tozan lowered his head, looked at the two captains of the Punishment Knight in front of him, and said word by word.

As the former head of the Holy Order, Tozan had of course heard of Lyman's name, and even after he left the Holy See, Lyman's name came to his ears from time to time.

It's not how strong the strength is, but the character and behavior of the other party, which is worthy of such a transmission.

Turning, Tozan strode towards the mountain, and although there were still four hours, he couldn't wait to finish everything in front of him.

"What are you going to do, Lord Tozan?"

The two captains of the Punishment Knight asked loudly, their palms clenching the long sword at their waists.

"A knight's departure needs some send-offs, aren't you going?"

Tozan asked, without turning around, as he walked forward.

The remaining Punishment Knights looked at each other for a moment, and finally, the leader of the Punishment Knights Captain walked slowly towards the sacred mountain, and behind him, the Punishment Knights followed.

On Mount Kinaba, Bishop Vallejo hugged his friend's corpse with a sad face, leaning on the stone pillars of the cathedral with his back on his back, and a low cry came from all around—it was clear that not all the Knights of Punishment had gone to the front, and in some places they were still needed to guard them.

As for the Holy Knights?

As early as two months ago, it disappeared without a trace.

"Your Excellency Tozan!"

The appearance of the former head of the Holy Knights attracted the attention of the sad people present, and a punishment knight shouted in surprise.

"I have no ill will, but I have come to see off a real knight!"

Tozan looked at the silent corpse, even if it was due to excessive blood loss, but there was still fortitude on that face, and the long golden hair had lost its luster, but in the afternoon sun, it was more bright.

Boom!

The long sword on his waist was unsheathed, not for attack, but just across the shield, the former head of the Holy Knights knelt on one knee, and he said word by word-

"We promise to protect the weak!"

"We promise to defy power!"

"We will fight for justice!"

"We are fearless in the face of sacrifice!"

……

It is not the so-called papal oath of punishment of knights, but the oath that truly belongs to knights; Kneeling on one knee, Tozan repeated word for word, the vows he almost forgot; Some of the surrounding punishment knights, some of whom immediately followed Tozan's example, knelt down on one knee and said silently.

Others, after a few moments of hesitation, joined in.

The rest, however, took a step back and prayed in their own way for the knight's departure – there was nothing wrong with that, for it was the result of faith.

A whispered oath that was only transmitted in a small area.

However, the power of the oath can surpass any region.

The knight named 'Sacrifice', who had followed the Dragonborn and the half-bloods to the outside of the Radiant Canyon, heard such an oath, and after the power of the oath, it saw everything.

"Knight!"

Silently, the knight named 'Sacrifice' whispered these two words.

Then, a special force overflowed from its body, turning into a trace of fluctuation, passing through the entire sacred forest area and landing on the sacred mountain.

'Lyman', who had lost so much blood and was already dead, moved his fingers violently.

And this moment was discovered by Vallejo, who was clinging to the 'corpse' of his friend, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Lyman?!" Lyman?! ”

And subconsciously the hand flashed with the holy light of healing.

However, as soon as the Holy Light appeared, it was dispersed by Tozan—

"Do you want him to really die? His body had lost so much blood that it couldn't bear any stimulation at all! Go find a doctor, they should have a way to make Lyman really better! ”

Tozan said to Vallejo.

"What a good thing, Your Excellency!"

Bishop Vallejo nodded, picked up Lyman's body, and ran towards the teleportation chamber - the Sacred Forest only believes in magic, so there are no doctors here.

Before, the Knights of Punishment who had recited their oaths together looked at each other, and in the end, they chose to follow.

The rest, the Knights of Punishment who adhered to their beliefs, looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

Because, they can be sure, the previous Lyman is dead in the true sense, whether it is the characteristics of life or the breath of life, it has completely disappeared.

But......

"This is a legendary miracle, right?" Tozan said with a smile, then turned around and looked at the figure in the distance, "Are you right?" Iyeta. ”
