"Help everyone?!"

Chu Lie and Angelia looked slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Light Rain Forest?!" ”

"Yes, Lord Chu Lie...... I, the only human race I know can help us is you......"

Stella nodded slightly, her eyes crossed Angelia's face, and a hint of wanting to speak appeared and stopped, Chu Lie opened her mouth to explain when she saw this: "This is Angelia, my childhood friend, the great knight, the princess of the kingdom, worthy of trust......"

"Huh?! Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

The elf girl looked slightly stunned, and then a trace of apology appeared on her face, leaned over towards Angelia slightly, and said, "Because this matter is very important, it must be guaranteed not to be known by those dangerous people...... Please forgive me for being rude......"

"Faux pas? There's nothing to be sorry about, it's about your own race, and you can't be too careful. ”

Angelia pursed her lips and chuckled, her temperament showed an atmospheric elegance that was completely in line with the needs of a princess of a country, her eyes turned lightly, fell on Stestra's face, and smiled again: "However, after seeing Chu Lie, I directly asked for help, and even I, an outsider, directly ignored it, I think it is a major event that threatens the fundamental nature of the elf race, so that you will lose your square inch like this, but...... The treasure thief who has always been inseparable, known as the combination of the Burning Moon Blade, now only sees the Burning Moon, where is the blade? ”

The girl's fingers gently curled her blonde hair, and she smiled amiably, but there was a certain harsh aura on her body, as if the empress sitting on the throne looked down at the prisoner under the seat, and asked with a smile:

"Is there any way you can prove yourself? After all, Chu Lie's current identity is also prominent, and there should be many people in the alien race who want to kill him. ”

"How do you prove that you are not an assassin sent by another race, and this call for help is just a trap for Chu Lie?"

A series of questions made Stella's face a little dazed, and he was stunned for a few breaths before stammering: "K, Crete is back in Qiufeng now, it seems that something has happened, I, I originally wanted to go together, but there is something in the light rain forest, so I will go......"

"And then, then prove ......"

The elf girl's palm groped for a moment on her body, but she only found a delicate dagger, and whispered: "I, I only brought this dagger, I don't know if I can ...... it"

“……”

Chu Lie frowned slightly, and just wanted to say something, he saw Angelia swinging his palm with his back to him gently, and couldn't help but be stunned, out of trust in the latter, he forcibly held back what he wanted to say back to his throat, just watched Angelia, who showed another temperament, gently picked up the dagger, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, his eyes fell on a line of small words written in gorgeous strokes under the blade of the dagger-now that line of handwriting is releasing a soft glimmer at a unique frequency, The girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded lightly and said:

"Hmm...... Elven coming-of-age dagger, Elder Obadiah's handwriting is still so beautiful, I really want a copy of his authentic handwriting......"

"Obadiah??"

Stella's little face wrinkled, and she was almost about to cry out in a hurry: "Obadiah? That's not what our elders call us...... Your Royal Highness Princess, Uncle Obadiah is a druid, and he only likes to run naked on top of his uncle wrapped in mud, and he can't write at all......"

"Are you mistaken......

"Puff haha~"

Angelia burst out laughing, and threw it away, the dagger slashed through a cold light, straight into the sheath of the elf girl's waist, raised her hand and stroked the girl's soft light green long hair, and said with a smile: "You are like this, how can Blade Crete rest assured that you will go alone?" ”

"Rest assured, you've passed the test, I'm sure you're supposed to be the Burning Moon Silka from the Elven Rain Forest......"

The eldest princess withdrew her palms, folded her hands, lightly placed them on her abdomen, pursed her lips and chuckled:

"Now, then, it's time to talk about the price that the Light Rain Forest is willing to pay for asking for the help of Crane City."

"The price?"

The joy on Strara's face stiffened, and her eyes widened and she muttered, "But, aren't we allies of the Millennium Covenant?" That's the lives of your allies! ”

"It's an ally, but even if you ask an ally to help, you should give a corresponding price to maintain the stability of the covenant and make the covenant last, in addition, the elves of the elves are life, and the warriors of Crane City are also lives, and everything is conserved in nature, and there is no distinction between high and low life, I'm not wrong, right?"

Angelia smiled, and asked in a somewhat curious tone: "Or is it that only your lives are precious, and we humans are in a lower position, do you need to use just one sentence that we human warriors need to throw their heads and blood to help you get through the difficulties?" ”

"No, it's not......"

Stella shook her hand in a little panic and denied it again and again, the beautiful Terran girl in front of her became more and more sharp, obviously just saying a few words, it made her breathing a little difficult, and fine cold sweat oozed from her forehead, but at this moment, the heart-pounding momentum suddenly disappeared, and the blonde eldest princess in front of her sat on the seat and leaned back gently, with a gentle and reserved smile on her face:

"This kind of basic diplomacy, your elders must understand, maybe you are in a hurry and didn't pay attention, if it's materials, the number is not easy to count, then let's use another way as a price. You just mentioned the Millennium Covenant, so as long as the Elves are willing to continue to fulfill the content of the Millennium Covenant and fight side by side with the humans, even if it is just with the human warriors in Klan City, we can consider providing assistance, Chu Lie, what do you think? ”

In the end, Angelia leaned directly on the back of the chair, looked at Chu Lie, and exchanged the decision-making power to him, those blue eyes were full of ardent expectations, Chu Lie bowed slightly, looked at the somewhat flustered Stella, and slowly spoke: "I agree, Stella...... What about you, ma'am? ”

The elf girl's fingers were unconsciously stirred together, and for some reason, Chu Lie's tone did not change in the slightest from before, but she changed her name, which made her feel an invisible solemnity and oppression, and recalled the predicament that the clansmen were facing now, and without too much struggle and hesitation, Stella raised her eyes, stared at Chu Lie's black pupils like a deep pool, and exhaled a turbid breath:

"I agree."

"So nice to work with."

Chu Lie bowed his head, stretched out his right hand and grasped the elf's slender hand, his eyes were dark, as unfathomable as a deep pool.

Article 1.1:

The elves and the human race are closely related, life and death are shared between the two races, and the human beings should protect the elves' bodies with sharp swords, and within the range of the elven marksman, it is the place where the human knights charge!

Swear: Our clan will not be destroyed, and this alliance will not be broken like a mountain and a rock.

The scroll of dusty history lifted a corner at this moment, revealing a dim yellow silhouette.

………………………………………………………………………

On the grounds of resting her tired body a little, Angelia persuaded Stella to go back to the arranged house to rest, and after watching the elf girl fall asleep, Angelia gently covered the quilt for her and walked out slowly, but as soon as she left the room, she saw Chu Lie, who was dressed in a knight's suit, leaning against the edge of the big tree outside the room, his face was indifferent and calm, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"Heh......"

Gently stroking the blonde hair on her sideburns, Angelia slowly walked to Chu Lie's side, turned her head to look at him and grinned:

"What an ugly face, alas~ Isn't it a chivalry attack, can't you get used to seeing me embarrass our Terran allies like this?"

“……”

Chu Lie pursed his lips and didn't reply, but Angelia, who had grown up with him since she was a child, had already seen the awkwardness and discomfort in Chu Lie's heart, shook her head lightly and smiled, her eyes motioned for Chu Lie to walk outside side by side with her, and as she walked, she restrained the smile on her face, lowered her voice and said slowly: "Yes, my behavior does not seem to be in line with the way of knighthood, but Chu Lie, you have to understand one thing, you are no longer a knight, at least, not just a knight." ”

"You have to pay attention to your own safety, you are now a city lord, and you can even be called a powerful lord in troubled times, you should have the appearance of a leader, you can't trust anyone, and when you help others, you can't be too generous, our royal ancestors left a quote that when you are generous, you lose the ability to use generosity, either to make yourself hurt and fail to be despised, or to avoid those who are insatiable and hateful......"

"This is a great crisis for a leader, a strong man, and it must be avoided......"

Chu Lie's footsteps paused slightly, what Charles had said before, what the teacher had said, and the faint feeling in his heart came to his heart at this time, his mind was slightly confused, and he subconsciously retorted: "Despite this, I should still move forward according to the correct concept and uphold the path of justice, otherwise even if I can maintain my prestige, I am just a stingy tyrant, isn't it?" ”

"Justice?"

Angelia stopped in her footsteps and raised her eyes to look at Chu Lie quietly:

"The justice of knights makes you fight for the defenseless, makes you sincere to your allies, draws your sword for good, and cuts off evil, which is indeed justice, but don't you think this justice is too narrow? Chu Lie, this is only a niche justice, I don't understand this, but the manuscript left by the founding knight king on top of my Gubit's history describes another kind of justice. ”

"Hide your sword in its scabbard, and don't draw it for a small fight, because it's just depriving others of the opportunity to save themselves and the possibility of awakening your soul, only when the race is broken and evil is rampant, pull out your sword, and the knights will gather behind this sword, and then charge forward, but stay vigilant and never trust anyone."

"As a king, you should be treacherous, you should be ruthless, you should be contrary to humanity, you should be against the gods, you should do your best not to turn your back on what is good but if necessary, you should have the consciousness to embark on the path of doing evil!"

"Therefore your subjects will curse your immorality with the most vicious words, and the generations after will describe your life in the dirtiest words, but because of you they will have the opportunity to curse you, and they will have the idle time and the ease of life when they curse you, this is the way of the wicked, this is the way of kings, this is ...... The justice of kings! ”

"Chu Lie, do you have enough tools to carry these in the troubled times?"

The girl's hands were folded on her abdomen, and her blue eyes looked at Chu Lie who was slightly stunned without giving in, and I don't know when the wind rose, and the clouds and mist drifted in front of the scorching sun, casting a large shadow on the earth, this heavy shadow shrouded Chu Lie and Angelia, Chu Lie suddenly found that he didn't fully understand the girl in front of him who had grown up together, and the familiar eyebrows revealed a calm and heart-palpitating look.

"Chu Lie, I don't know what your choice is, but I know you, even better than you know yourself - you must want to save the innocent, and now that you have a strong army and an outstanding staff strategist, you have your own qualifications to make a choice."

"Is it a heroic knight who can save thousands of people and is praised by everyone?"

"Or save the world, but have to step on a king who has accumulated white bones, bears a lifetime or even thousands of years of notoriety, and combines good and evil?"

"Lie, Knight's Sword and King's Sword, tell me your choice!!"

PS: I have always believed that everyone we meet in our lives will become who we are in the future, every word we have seen, heard, and every thing we have experienced, these will become steps under our feet, carrying our own way to the future.

Our Chu Lie is not a natural king, but hasn't every generation of kings since ancient times gone through constant pondering and bruising before they faded away from their immaturity and became a real king? The domineering Cao Cao used to be the prodigal son of the capital, and Liu Bang, who cut the snake and established the Great Han Dynasty, was only a little rascal at first, but in the end, they still achieved themselves and grew into the lonely life called the king.
