459. The death of a coward

Casmodo continued to cry: "We have been wandering in the void for a thousand years, all the resources have been exhausted, there is no food, the old and sick people have gathered in the sub-ships to break away from the fleet, saving resources for the healthy people and newborns, and finally we are left with only five flying ships, less than 50,000 people... The king fell the moment he saw hope!"

The eldest princess was struck by lightning, her whole body was paralyzed, as if she was about to faint, and she murmured uncontrollably: "How could my father die... How could my father leave me... Obviously promised me to crown me, to see me ascend the throne, obviously said that he would help me educate my children... How could you die so early..."

Adam and Neam looked at each other and stepped back a little further.

Casmodo put the dragon egg on the ground in front of him: "This is the egg of the Black Dragon King of the Hell, and the heir of the king's partner will inevitably become a top-level war beast in the future, continuing the will of the two kings." Your Highness, the king still remembered you before he died, and now that reinforcements are coming, they are very strong, more powerful than demons, and the Mopu plane has been saved. ”

His voice calmed down abruptly: "But Your Highness, please remember, they are not saviors, rescue is just a transaction, you can trust them, but don't put your hope entirely on them, once we thought that stability and peace would bring happiness, but it turns out that we are wrong, everything is false, only your own strength is real, so Your Highness, please be strong." ”

Casmodo's small wounds from the murderous aura continued to expand, and the blood flowed unstoppably.

The eldest princess raised her hand and shot a torrent of golden energy, and the phoenix dragon behind her spurted dragon blood and poured it on Casmodo's body, but everything was to no avail, the wound on Casmodo's body was still the same, and the eldest princess roared: "Casmodo, stop! I order you to stop! Have you forgotten the knightly code? How dare you commit suicide!"

Casmodo shook his head and said, "I should have died when the king fell, and it would be a violation of the knight's code to continue to live." Every second I live is tarnishing my loyalty and honor, and I must die. ”

Princess Celestia frantically radiates energy in an attempt to heal Casmodo's injuries, but in any case, Casmodo is a seventh-level life, and his control over his life is absolute.

"You coward, stop, stop!"

The phoenix dragon screamed.

The energy in the inner circulation spurted out of the wound, his life force had burst the embankment, and even his soul had materialized, turning into a mist of light, he was indifferent, and said with a smile: "You are right, I am a coward. ”

"I'm already tired, I don't want to live anymore, from the moment I sent my family to the airship, from the moment I watched my wife and children die, I was actually dead. ”

Princess Celestia put down her hands and burst into tears, today is perhaps the saddest day for this strong woman in a thousand years.

Casmodo's body was rapidly declining and old, and he stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to touch the top of Celestia's head as he had done when he was a child, but he no longer had the strength to raise his hand.

Princess Celestia got down on one knee and put Casmodo's hand on her head, choking up and speechless.

"It's good that you're still alive, I'm ashamed of the king, of my knighthood, of my family, of my wife and children, and even more of my honor. My life has been a failure, and death is the greatest relief for me. Forgive me, Your Highness, for my selfish approach. ”

Princess Celestia grabbed Casmodo's hand and shook her head repeatedly, not knowing whether to deny his statement or not to forgive him.

With his body completely decaying and his soul coming out of his body and looking up at the sky, Casmodo muttered, "If there is an afterlife, I don't want to be a knight... I want to live a little selfish, to live only for myself..."

The soul exploded, the light and mist drifted away, and the family crest fell to the ground and was torn apart.

Princess Celestia wailed.

β€”β€”β€”

On the other hand, Neam sighed: "I misjudged him, he is a poor man." ”

Adam looked into the distance, saw the mist of light floating into the sky and then being blown away by the void storm without a trace, and didn't know what to say.

Selfishness or cowardice, different people have different criteria for defining it, for the entire Mopu race, Casmodo's approach is selfish, a seventh-level life has a vital role in the reconstruction of civilization, but Casmodo did not leave it useful and chose to commit suicide.

But for himself, as he himself said, in order to abide by the spirit of chivalry, he personally buried his relatives and children, this kind of pain is unimaginable to outsiders, and then he can persist in living until now, which is already great selflessness and courage.

Neham, perhaps remembering his past, was in a very low mood, he shook his head and took out a box of potions and handed it to Adam: "Let them drink it later, otherwise these people won't live long, I'll go back first." ”

Adam took the potion and nodded to him, Neam was the eldest prince of the Magic Empire, but he joined the revolution to overthrow his own dynasty, Adam didn't know what kind of struggle he went through at that time, but just thinking about it knew that it would not be a pleasant experience, and the scene just now must have brought back his memories.

After seeing Neam leave, Adam did not go into the depths of the valley, but waited outside.

The overwhelming monsters were torn to pieces by the defensive magic array he casually laid out, and after the bloody rain fell, they were immediately evaporated by electric heat, and in the eyes of the monsters, the ordinary valley seemed to have become a terrifying abyss that devoured life, and these monsters dominated by the desire for destruction and destruction were actually terrified and stopped because of this.

Princess Celestia didn't let Adam wait long, and five minutes later, a knightly group of more than a hundred people came to the outside world together, and Princess Celestia flew out alone and hovered a hundred meters opposite Adam, performing a knightly etiquette of the highest order.

"Matilda Gaunt, Crown Prince of the Knights' Kingdom, salutes you, mage, for your support of the Mopu people. "Celestia seems to have returned to normal, and her whole person's mental outlook has been renewed, becoming more resolute and fearless, but this can't hide the strength of her breath.

Adam returned the salute, then handed her the MΓΆbius ring, watched Matilda hold the seal and pick up Gangnir again, and said, "No need to thank you, the support is paid, Casmodo is right, it's just a deal, I'm sorry to listen to your conversation." ”

Princess Celestia said solemnly: "It's nothing, Casmodo is worthy of his heart, he is the perfect knight, and it is not a scandal that cannot be publicized." She touched on the matter with a faint mention, and then went straight to the point, "There are only us and some knights who don't know life and death in the knight kingdom now, I think with the strength you just showed, the reward you ask for should have nothing to do with us." ”

"So, is your target the source domain?"
