Now, many residents gather in the central square to watch the excitement, and the street has become a lot empty, which is greatly conducive to finding people in the idle days.

But it's not easy to find Balk now, because you'll have to tell him right, and you'll be able to recognize him at a glance from a distance away from him in ancient armor, with an exaggerated knight's sword, and on an undead horse.

But after this period of nurturing, Balk has chosen to completely follow the local customs.

Now he is often dressed as an ordinary person, with a turban on his head that covers the sun in the desert area, a knight's sword hidden in a wide robe, and the terrifying undead war horse is also carrying a lot of hidden things, such as a large pile of goods, silk and satin, belt cloth, walking on the street alive and like a trader, no different from the small merchants in Fire Leaf City, unless ...... You see his white, bloodless face with a twelve-point satisfaction.

After walking around half of the city, he finally had to stand on the spire of the Hangu Tower, swept the entire city, and finally found a few targets, and the energy tentacles probed over, which was considered to have found this leisurely and leisurely Mr. Knight.

Balk rode on a horse, staggering down the street, he was carrying a wine bottle, but it was half a bottle of herbal tea, and he greeted acquaintances as he walked, the standard Fireleaf City businessman's appearance, you don't see his face head-on, and you won't recognize this as the secret killer of the Holy Spirit Temple.

"Mr. Knight!"

Tian Xian stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse, the undead war horse let out a dead neigh, scarlet eyes looked at Tian Xian, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he immediately quieted down.

Balk glanced at Tian Xian slowly, and then said in the tone of a man selling his goods, "Ah...... You're not there, boy, aren't you presiding over the meeting, or are you coming out and being lazy? I'll be glad if you say you miss me because of friendship. ”

Tian Xian said straight to the point: "Mr. Knight, I have a few questions for you, now, right away!"

The knight shrugged his shoulders and shook the herbal tea bottle in his hand, "Ah...... Guy who has no interest, why is he so anxious that he has to ask now?"

Tian Xian glanced at the knight's bits and pieces and pendants, and finally found the half-exposed knight's sword on the large bulging package on the horse's buttocks.

The originally murderous knight's sword, inserted in a large pile of strange goods, seemed to have become a part of it, and there was nothing special at all......

"Mr. Knight, let's find a place to talk, it's really urgent. ”

Tian Xian pushed away a resident who seemed to want to come up and buy something from the knight, and said quickly.

Balk grinned at the resident as an apology, and the lucky fellow found that he had been gently pushed away by the Grand Duke, and suddenly looked full of excitement, and ran away shouting, wondering if he would go and brag about it to others tonight.

"Let's go, you lead the way. The knight said with a smile.

Tian Xian chose a place that was not far away, but absolutely suitable - the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The place was as dilapidated as ever, the outer nave was entirely a place for children to play, and the inner sanctum was still empty and dirty except for the tattered statues.

"What a hell of a place, let's talk about it......" The knight waved his hand dissatisfied, the smell of dust in the air still made his useless nose uncomfortable, and he didn't even dismount because he didn't want to get the dust around him.

Tian Xian took out a small belt half the size of a fist and sprinkled it around, and the shining gold sand fell to the ground like flowing gold water.

After a few silent words in his mouth, Tianxian's five fingers were slightly reversed, and several ancient god inscriptions on the back of his hand instantly appeared, and the golden sand on the ground immediately moved like a living thing, forming a strange formation on the ground in the blink of an eye, enclosing Tianxian himself and the knight in it.

The knight's stiff face showed a bit of amusement: "Silent formation, young man, do you have something very important to look for me? This is strange...... It seems that important things should go to the other three, and I have nothing to inspire you. ”

"Can you tell me about the origin of that sword?" Tian Xian pointed directly to the knight's sword.

"Sword?" the knight looked back at his sword, then laughed unexpectedly, "Young man, you called me here to ask this?"

"Yes sir, I would like to know the origin of this sword, as well as ...... How did you become a Dominant?"

The knight's ghostly eyes flickered twice, he drew his sword and held it in his hand, and his voice became strange, "Young man, why do you ask me such a thing, a dead man's past is not an interesting story, ah...... It was nothing but pain and despair. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Knight, I have a question about that, and ...... Would love to know. ”

The knight frowned, looked at the sky for a while, and then threw the sword over casually, "Since you are interested, then go and study, but I don't have a talent for storytelling, if you want to know something, just ask others, you ask me, I may not be able to answer anything." ”

Tian Xian caught the long sword, and he didn't look at it, but with a twist of his wrist, the ancient god inscription on the back of his hand resurfaced again, flashing with scarlet light, and a faint light curtain suddenly rose from the formation on the ground, blocking the knight's path.

"Oh...... Young man, what do you want? Do you want to ask me?" the knight turned, and the smile on his face was a little more ill-intentioned.

Tianxian said lightly: "If Mr. Knight insists on leaving, I naturally can't stop it, that light curtain has no effect, you can pass it casually, I just want to tell you, I want to know these things, and you should also understand that since I want to know, it means that I have guessed something, and even found some clues." ”

The knight touched his chin with a distressed expression, and finally had to turn his horse's head and walk back, "Young man, you are just as white as white, very difficult. ”

"I'm nowhere near as tough as he is, and you know that he's a monster ......"

The knight laughed, "Yes, yes, that guy is a complete monster, are you...... Actually, it's a little monster, you two...... There are really many similarities. ”

Tian Xian presented the knight's sword with both hands, "So now...... Can you tell me your story? It's very important to me, huh...... It's important to all of us. ”

Tian Xian pondered for a moment and added: "There are many secrets that I don't know yet, but you should believe that many things I know are also things that you don't know, although they are all recent events, but compared to the quiet years before, the turmoil of the past few years is the period when the news is really valuable, am I right?"

The knight took a sip of herbal tea and nodded slowly, "Yes, yes...... Compared to now, those old days can really be regarded as peaceful, when I often waited for orders somewhere, and waited for years, even a dozen or decades...... Calmly even forgetting my own existence, it is only when a certain name is brought to me that I will remember myself, I will remember my responsibility, and that is not a pleasant thing. ”

Grabbing his sword, the knight's face was infinitely emotional, "Young man, I can probably guess what you are thinking, but things may not be as you imagined, maybe my story will disappoint you, instead of listening to this stinky, long, and boring story, it is better to go back and chat with those humans, at least dim sum and herbal tea on the high platform." ”

Tian Xian walked directly behind the knight's horse, rummaged through the big package for a while, took out a big cushion and threw it on the ground, and then sat down, "Please speak, I will definitely listen carefully." ”

The knight smiled, untied the big package directly, jumped off the horse, sat directly on the package, and inserted the knight's sword into the ground with the scabbard with his backhand, "Okay, then I'll tell a story to satisfy the curiosity of the children, but after that, don't come and continue to pester me, I'm also very busy, today I originally planned to buy some goods and experience the feeling of being a businessman." ”

Tian Xian raised his eyebrows, quickly pulled out a piece of parchment paper from his arms, and then walked with a fingertip pen to the dragon, and wrote on it, and soon an appointment was written, and it was gently placed next to the knight's sword, just in the middle of the distance between Tian Xian and the knight.

"A letter of appointment, a trade permit, you can take any action as a legitimate businessman, before buying, reselling, recruiting men, or even renting a house or opening a shop. ”

The knight looked at the letter of appointment branded with the power of the flames, and couldn't help but whistle, "Oh...... The value of this story is very good. ”

Pulling out a silver cup from the package under him, and playing with it in his hand, the knight said, "First of all, my sword was forged when I became the Dominator, that is, after the Great War of the Gods, when we became the Dominators together. ”

Tian Xian's heart suddenly moved slightly, "Who created it, is it specially created for you?"

"Of course, this is a weapon that only I can use, after all...... I'm not in a much different situation than everyone else, hehe...... Although we are not technically alive, I am the only one who seems to have died completely. ”

"I don't know who built it, I got it from His Holiness the Pope, ah...... The Pope at that time, that is, the Hippoic Empress. ”

Empress Hippo!

"So, do you know how Empress Hippo got this sword?"

"I don't know that much......," the knight smiled knowingly, "young man, this sword is a fierce weapon, and the process of creating it must not be very glorious, I don't need to know about that kind of thing, I just need to know how to use it well." ”

Tian Xian's heart sank slightly, didn't the knight himself know the origin of this sword, whether what he said was true or not, this clue was temporarily interrupted.

The knight continued: "As for myself, we are all dominants together, ah...... At that time, the current human beings could not imagine that the gods of the past were prostrate on the ground to the lamb to the slaughter, and the great war devastated their vitality, some of them were wiped out, some of them fled to other worlds early, and some could only fall to the ground to gasp, we caught some guys who had no ability to resist, but their divine power was still there, and their contracts were still intact and valid. ”

Tianxian licked his lips and asked softly, "So...... Is there anyone else like you but you? I mean...... Death. ”

"Nope. The knight replied in the affirmative, "Although we became rulers almost at the same time, the situation is different, and the gods are held separately, and they will not be allowed to meet each other, nor will they be made aware of the existence of other companions, and after receiving the contract, they will complete the contract together, and this is how we do it." ”

"And because they can't completely control them, and they themselves can't communicate with the other companions, so the content of the contract is very strange, such as the spirit officer, who has lost most of his body, such as Empress Hippo, who will eventually disappear in time...... And I, at the cost of losing my fresh life, became a living dead. ”

Speaking of this, the knight could not help but feel sentimental, "Young man, do you know why I like to walk around the city? a dead man does not feel the temperature of the wind, nor the delicacy of food, nor the beauty of a woman, but I can still see, and I can hear, for many years I have been like a puppet carrying out orders, but here I ...... People don't think of me as a monster, like a puppet, huh...... It makes me feel like I'm alive. ”

"Oh, heap!" said the knight, suddenly remembering something, "the east of the city...... The carpenter in the east of the city said that he would make me a more comfortable coffin, and I am going to get it today, young man, if there is no other problem, can I go?"

"What is the name of the deity you made the contract with?" Tian Xian immediately asked.

The knight reported an extremely complicated name in the ancient god language, "Young man, that is just an inconspicuous name in the late stage of the Great War of the Gods, and it does not have any special significance. ”

Tianxian nodded, "Thank you, but after a while, I should come back to trouble you, I hope you won't be upset then." ”

The knight shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Okay, you are the lord of the city, the king here, I just eat and drink here for nothing, and I have to go shopping for nothing, it is my honor to serve you." ”

The knight stood up and gracefully performed the standard old knightly salute, "Have a good afternoon, Grand Duke." ”

After speaking, the knight threw the big bag on the horse's back, jumped on it himself, and then winked at Tian Xian, seeing that Tian Xian seemed a little dazed, he pointed directly to the bottom of Tian Xian's ass.

Tian Xian quickly stood up and handed the thick cushion to the knight.

"This is what I plan to use for today's coffin, but I can't give it to you. The knight tucked the mat back into the package, turned the horse's head, and walked away leisurely.

...... of the cushion coffin

Tian Xian wiped his ass vigorously.
