Chapter Fifty-Six: "Hegemony"
A sleepless night, for John.
The ghost's appearance for no apparent reason alerted everyone, and John could hear footsteps coming from outside the hallway from time to time.
Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and until early in the morning, people gradually got up to wash up and make breakfast.
But then again, the sky outside is not the blue sky and white clouds as imagined, the pitch-black colors render the whole sky, the sun is obscured, the atmosphere is very low, and the black clouds are getting deeper and deeper, as if a storm is about to come.
John felt that the weather was strange, from the appearance without warning, to the present, a sense of foreboding that surrounded his heart had not dissipated, and he had a sense of foreboding.
The Knights of Light are also like John, they are very concerned about the sudden bad weather outside, and they are much more sensitive to danger than ordinary people with the blessing of holy light.
So after a hurried breakfast, the men took out the horses that had been placed in the stable at the back of the inn, and prepared to leave, as did John and Shirley.
I don't know what happened, John felt that from the morning to the present, especially at breakfast, he could always feel someone's gaze, a young girl, who seemed to be the only believer in the group, and the gaze was coming from her direction.
Whenever John looked at her, she would hastily avoid her eyes or lower her head, and this time, John felt that her mood seemed to be low.
This believer's appearance is not outstanding, his age is about the same as his own human skin, he seems to be an ordinary girl who is not good at communication, and she is taciturn, but her breasts are slightly larger than those in the public, and her strength is also very ordinary, and she has just entered the gold field, but in this team, her strength can be said to be the strongest.
Her actions always gave John the illusion that he was not being discovered and revealing his identity.
Naturally, this question could not be explained, and it was impossible to ask the parties, so John could only try to get himself and Shirley away from them as quickly as possible.
At the end of the parting, the two sides went in opposite directions, they continued to advance north, and judging by the topic of the morning, they intended to cross the border and go to the neighboring Fival Empire, and report the situation here to the nearest branch of the Holy See by the way.
The Holy See is organized with free access to the countries, and they have such privileges.
And John and they are returning the same way, planning to enter the "Immortal Land" to explore, this is of course an excuse to deceive them casually, his mission has not been completed, just go back, it will definitely come out in the future, it is better to complete it at one time and go back.
John waved goodbye to the captain and their team, one on foot and the other on horseback, the distance between the two sides was widening, and finally neither side could be seen, obscured by the town's buildings.
However, John looked back a few strange times from time to time, as if something made him care a lot, Shirley glanced at it, and said with an angry expression: "What's wrong?" ”
John retracted his head, didn't care about Shirley's tone, and said, "Well, I'm wondering if that believer already knows our identity, and I'm afraid that they will suddenly come back and hunt us down." ”
Thinking of last night's events, Shirley sighed, and after saying "stupid", she left John with a look of incomprehension and walked briskly.
The woman was a strange creature, John thought as he looked at Shirley's back.
………
After walking far, John and Shirley stopped in unison.
Because there were several people on horseback on a slope ahead, wearing pitch-black armor like the sky, exuding the aura of death all over their bodies, holding a cursed knight's sword in their hands, this was a high-level undead "death knight", and a high-level undead of the same level as his family's headless horseman, John could clearly feel the deep hostility of these undead.
John didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly with a cold face, "Whose subordinates are you?" ”
Disdainful voices sounded, and one of the black knights said, "Hmph, you don't deserve to know the name of our master, so die obediently." ”
Dizzy, the second monk John was puzzled, the group of death knights in front of him seemed to be bent on finding him trouble, and from his words, it could be heard that someone had instructed him.
John couldn't figure out who would trouble him, and if he had to talk about enemies, he would only have the bearded white sage who had a grudge, and he had never provoked these enemies with the breath of death, and it could not have been done by the jealous white sage.
John was lazy thinking, throwing the backpack into the void to prevent it from being destroyed in the battle, and said indifferently: "Okay, it seems that I can only teach you a lesson, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." ”
As he spoke, John hooked his finger at them on the hillside.
Feeling insulted, several Death Knights rushed down the hill on horseback, their swords in their hands meeting John.
Five, all of them are death knights at the top of the gold realm, but, they can't help but underestimate themselves in the hero realm, even if they don't use magic, they can easily teach them to be humans, John is not angry, it is a very unpleasant thing to be looked down upon by the little minions, he decided to use that trick.
Skillfully put on the Buff, the combat power soared, John didn't move, remembered a move he learned from a martial arts master in the "Hero Domain" a long time ago, posed, closed his eyes, and the magic power of his whole body was all over the bones in a condensed form, and in the blink of an eye, the magic power in his body had been consumed.
There was a crisp sound of "clang".
John opened his eyes violently, and the two knightly swords that had been cut over were grasped by him peacefully, without giving the death knight a surprising time, he crushed them in an instant, grabbed their arms with his hand, pulled the two death knights off their horses and slapped them heavily on the ground, and the whole ground was shattered.
In this way, he came to a death knight, and with an ordinary head-on punch, he easily knocked off his horse, flew far away, and broke several trees by the way in the direction of his flight, and rolled into the woods without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Another Death Knight, John, lifted his leg and kicked the horse firmly, the horse let out a scream, was lifted by a huge force, and rolled the Death Knight to a long distance on the ground before stopping.
The last Death Knight looked at the scene in disbelief, and for the first time a sense of fear arose, and although it was subtle, he couldn't help but feel the urge to run away.
A trembling voice came from under the helmet: "You, who the hell are you?!" ”
John didn't answer him, but said to himself with a wry smile: "Sure enough, no, the human body can give full play to this ability." ”
Looking at the sky, John smiled helplessly, not knowing who he was looking at, he turned his head to look at Shirley, and said, "I'll trouble you next." ”
With a "poof" and a final smile, John fainted and fell straight to the ground, leaving Shirley with a dazed face and the Death Knight who couldn't figure out what was going on.
