The streets of Reinhardt are still bustling, if not better than they used to be, thought to the first time I came here.

She stood on the crowded street, dressed in her shabby black robe, and under the black robe, her godless gray eyes looked around.

She couldn't see it anymore, but her evil could still feel what was going on around her.

There was a cacophony of voices in my ears, and fruit merchants on the roadside sat on benches and shouted. The clanging of iron in the blacksmith's shop, and the dull whisper of the bellows blowing flames. Pedestrians rub shoulders with each other, which makes the summer even hotter. The apothecary merchant took care of the guests, and at the same time kept an eye on the shop to prevent others from stealing his things.

In short, it was a lively and prosperous city, with wide roads and smooth stone slabs large enough for three or four carriages to run side by side. On both sides of the road are stone houses, most of which are not luxurious, but they also have a different style, and there are usually a pot or two of flowers and plants in front of the door to decorate the color.

Chu didn't belong to the city, and it was obvious that she stood on the street unlike everyone else. The aura on her body was cold and deep, after all, the aura of evil was like this, and it was difficult for her to change it.

At first glance, she remembered that she had walked through the streets with Hillman, when, presumably, it was the day of her Imperial Tour. Chu still vaguely remembered the scene of that day, and the cheers of the people on both sides made her feel ashamed.

Finally, Hatsu's gaze rested on the tallest building in the city, the castle that barely reached into the sky.

She walked over, this time, she had come to return something.

In front of the castle gate, two guards stood by the door, and one of the elderly guards squinted his eyes and looked at the city in the distance, with a little intoxication in his eyes.

He was in his fifties, and his sideburns were a little gray. He has been a castle guard for more than thirty years, and he has experienced too many things and seen too many people in those thirty years.

He watched the empire rise, and he saw the empire shake, but simply, the result was good. This empire is so prosperous that it deserves all to be celebrated for it.

Everyone's life has changed for the better, and so has he, and now he just wants to live out his old age in the city.

Hey, if only that adult were still here. If he's here, the empire will be more prosperous.

The old guard thought so.

Whoever that adult is, he is naturally the black knight of the year.

He had fought on the battlefield with the Black Knight, and he had seen the heroic posture of the unrivaled unrivaled undead knight, and it was still exciting to think about it now.

The Black Knight had even saved him once, but before he could thank him, the Knight had already disappeared from view.

When people are old, they like to miss the old, and so do the guards, who always regret the past, and if only he could have thanked him earlier, even if the adult may not have remembered him anymore.

At this time, a person came from outside the castle, and she wore a black robe, and walked across the bridge in front of the castle and walked to the city gate.

"Please stop. The two guards lowered their spears at the same time and stopped in front of the man.

"Do you have a pass, please? The old guard asked, looking at the man in front of him, with some wariness in his eyes.

"If not, you can't pass. ”

Chu raised her head and looked at the guards who stopped in front of her, passes, she didn't know there was such a thing, she didn't need a pass to enter and leave this castle before.

But since the other party had stopped her, she was not easy to break into, so she silently took a step back, nodded and turned to leave.

Why can't she get in, she thought as she walked into a corner of the street.

Suddenly, she remembered that she used to wear armor in her own way.

Is it a problem with the clothes?

Chu looked down at the black robe on his body.

So the next moment, the black robe on her body began to change, and the time of a breath turned into a pitch-black armor that enveloped her in it.

The armor was exactly the same as her previous one, a deep black with a terrifying aura, and sharp edges that made her look majestic and unapproachable.

There was something missing, she thought about it for a while, stretched out her hand, and then in her hand, a black knight's long sword was condensed.

Let's try again.

Thinking about it, he walked out of the corner of the street and walked towards the castle gate again.

The two guards saw a black figure approaching again, but this time the man was not wearing a black robe, but black armor.

How are there so many people in black today.

The young guard raised an eyebrow, lowered his spear and stopped in front of the other.

But this time, the old guard froze in place.

Until the man in black armor approached.

He stared blankly at the pitch-black armor in front of him, and the figure of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory.

It can't be wrong, he thought.

Only this armor and this breath can't be wrong.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the long sword in the other party's hand, the pitch-black long sword, which had a faint dark black-red color, like the color of blood.

That's it, it's the sword, the sword that carves out the path of blood on the battlefield, the sword that slaughters the betrayers.

The elderly guard suddenly felt a little moist in his eyes.

He's back, the grown-up is back.

At first, I saw a guard in a daze at him, raised his hand to say something, but found that he could no longer speak.

Just as she reluctantly put down her hand, the elderly guard suddenly bent down deeply and saluted, and said excitedly.

"I knew it, I knew that my lord would definitely come back, please wait a moment, I will go and inform Your Majesty!"

With that, he turned, almost as if he were running, and walked briskly into the castle, leaving the young guard standing dumbfounded.

After a while, the old guard walked back again, and it was obvious that he had calmed down a bit, but he still had an uplifted look on his face.

Because as long as he sees this black knight, he will think of the longed-for figure on the battlefield back then, an incomparable figure.

"Your Majesty, please come in, please come with me. ”

The elderly guard bowed down in front of Hatsu and made a gesture of please.

Chu was stunned and followed him into the castle.

The two walked together through the castle's corridor, which was covered with a golden-red carpet, and the sunlight from outside shone into the somewhat empty corridor, making the corridor look peaceful and divine.

Until he reached the end of the corridor, the guard said to Chu.

"My lord, I won't be able to enter after that, so please go by yourself. ”

Chu nodded and opened the door to the corridor.

Just as Chu walked through the gate and was about to close the door, the guard solemnly bowed to Chu and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you very much, sir. ”

This time, he finally spoke, the same thank you that had not been conveyed thirty years ago.

The Black Knight of the Empire, back.
