"I didn't ...... No memory...... But that was only eight years ago! Yugeo whispered dumbly, his right hand unconsciously losing strength. Lin Yiyan's left hand let go of Yugeo's right wrist, placed it on his chin as if thinking about something, and spoke again.

"So, it's deleted...... Memories before and after that. Uncle...... No, Knight Desorubart, you were a Knight of Integration who had previously guarded the northern frontier of Nolan Gals, and that was not wrong, right? ”

“…… Precisely. Nolan Gales Northern Seventh Frontier District...... is my jurisdiction...... Until eight years ago,...... knight's brows furrowed as if they were revisiting memories long ago, "and I ...... Because it has done a great job...... Instead, he began to take on the garrison of the Central Cathedral, and at the same time was awarded this armor ......"

"What is that great achievement, do you remember?" In response to Lin Yiyan's question, the knight did not answer immediately, but just closed his lips tightly and looked away. It was Lin Yiyan's voice that broke this short silence. "I'll answer for you. Your merit is to discover that you are now bound to the same position as you, the integration knight Alice A. Synthesis· Thirty。 Lulid Village is a small northernmost village unknown in the central capital. The High Priest, the Administrator, will reward you for bringing Alice to this tower, but he will also have to erase your memories of the event...... The reason for this is what you yourself have just said. ”

Compared to explaining to Eugeo and the Integration Knights, Lin Yiyan's cannon-like speech seemed to be talking to himself.

"As you said before, the Knight of Integration has no past, because he was summoned from the heavenly realm. The High Priest must have said this to you who have just woken up as knights. This is to make you accept that you are not the one who did not become a Knight before the memories of the Synthesis. However, in order not to let this kind of nonsense explanation be revealed, it will be troublesome if one of the integrated knights has memories related to the birth of other knights that are not their own. If you find out that the person who was arrested by you is sitting in the knight's seat the next day, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos...... By the way, at this point, the weakness of the High Priest is ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Yiyan stopped talking, and paced back and forth with his head down, as if he was thinking about something quickly. Seeing his partner's appearance like this, Yugeo's own momentum had already diminished by half, and he sighed and looked at the knight who had fallen to the ground again. The integration knight Dissorubat also had an empty expression, as if he was thinking about something.

The anger and hatred in my heart still haven't been eliminated, but if it's true that the other party's memories of Alice have been erased, I probably have to agree with it. All the knights are just pawns manipulated by a figure named Administrator, who is the highest priest of the Congregational Church, and the abominable enemy who took Alice from himself and took her memory away and turned her into an abominable enemy who integrated the knights, and there is nothing but Administrator -

Desorubart finally noticed the gaze of Yugeo, who had been staring down at him, and immediately withdrew his wandering gaze. Although Yugeo couldn't see through the emotions stirring in the other party's heart, listening to his voice, it was full of wavering, making people completely unthinkable that he was the same person as the strong enemy who stood in front of the two of them before.

"This kind of thing...... How can it be...... We integrate the knights, and before we are appointed knights, they are also the affairs of the commoners who live in the city......"

"......" replaced Yugeo, who was speechless, or Lin Yiyan replied, "Isn't the blood that flows from yourself the same red blood as ours?" What caused Elderiyah to be abnormal was not some wonderful technique, but the result of our attempts to awaken his robbed memories...... It's the same with you. What is the reason for you...... I don't know if you won the Unification Conference of the Four Empires, or if you despised the Forbidden Directory, but you were also robbed of important memories by the Administrator and turned into an Integration Knight implanted with loyalty to the Church. I bet you that you've said you'll be frozen, but it's just the Administrator replacing your memories and making you a knight of absolute obedience to her again. ”

Although the way he spoke sounded very cold, Lin Yiyan's voice clearly contained a sense of helplessness. The knight didn't know if he felt this, closed his eyes, bit his lips and fell silent, then shook his head slowly again.

"Unbelievable. His Majesty, the High Priest...... I actually used such a technique......"

But it's true. There should be something left in the depths of your memory. It can't be completely erased no matter what kind of magic it is, and it becomes a precious memory before the knight......"

Hearing Lin Yiyan's words, Disorhubat suddenly raised his left hand, stared at the thick fingers, and whispered with a sigh, "Start from descending to the human world...... I often have the same dream...... The slender hands and ...... that shook me awake Silver ring set on the finger...... But once you wake up...... But there is no one around......"

Disorudbat frowned tightly, his left hand pressed tightly against his forehead. Seeing his appearance, Lin Yiyan also frowned, and then said softly. "You can't think of anything else. Your memories of the owner of that hand and ring have been taken away by the Administrator......"

For a moment, Lin Yiyan's words stagnated, his right hand slid down, and with a "sonorous" sound, he put the black sword into the scabbard on his left waist, "...... It's up to you to decide what you want to do after that. Shall we return to the Administrator and accept the punishment honestly, or shall we continue to hunt us down after healing our wounds...... Or ......"

Speaking of this, Yi Yan stopped and began to walk towards the ascending stairs on the right. Turning his head on the way, he looked over his shoulder and straight at Yugeo.

- Is that okay? The black pupils spoke. Yugeo looked at the Integrating Knight who had fallen to the ground with his eyes closed, and then slowly raised the Sword of the Green Rose—tucking the blade into the scabbard on his left waist, and returning it to the sheath in one go.

“…… Let's go. He walked up to Lin Yiyan, whispered, and then walked up the stairs together. Eugeo didn't know about the integration knight Desorubart. Synthesis· What choice Seven would make after that, he didn't think he would at least come after the two of them again.

For a long time, only the sound of two pairs of boots on the marble staircase could be heard.

Other than that, only an ear-stinging silence envelops the world. As far as Eugeo knew, there were many monks and trainee monks living in the giant tower of the Congregational Church, but no matter how big the eyes were and how straight the ears were, there was no human activity at all.

On top of that, as he ascended the stairs one by one, the sight was the same—the cloisters that stretched from the rectangular hall to the left and right, and the equally spaced doors on both sides of the cloister—made Yugeo wonder if he had unknowingly fallen for some kind of illusionary spell and had been climbing the same stairs repeatedly.

In order to confirm that this was not the case, Yugeo even had the urge to run to a corridor and open the outermost door, but when he saw Yi Yan walking in front of him climbing silently with steady steps, he realized that it was not the time to think about these messy things. If what Desorubat said was true, in front of the two men, an even more formidable enemy was waiting on the 50th floor of the cathedral.

Yugeo touched the hilt of the Sword of Love, which hung from his left waist, in an effort to dispel distractions. However, Yi Yan, who stepped onto the corner platform, suddenly stopped. He turned around with a serious look on his face and said in a nervous voice:

"Na...... Eugeo. Now, what level have we gone up to? ”

"That'...... Ahh......h Are you really not counting? ”

"Don't you think there are numbers that indicate the number of layers in general?"

"That's true, but you didn't realize you had that now?!" Lin Yiyan took Yugeo's accusation as if he was on the sidelines, and leaned his back against the wall, "It's just this kind of place again...... I think it's been a long time...... I'm hungry......"

"Well...... I couldn't agree more. "It's been nearly five hours since I had enjoyed that feast in Cardinal's large library. Looking out of the slender window, the sun was already in the sky. And, after a fierce battle and climbing twenty-five floors—a thousand steps in total—the body begged for supplies even more fiercely.

Therefore, after hearing Lin Yiyan's words, Yugeo nodded, and then stretched out his right hand.

"So, hurry up and give me one of the things you put in your pants pocket."

"Huh...... No, this is, that, ...... for a pinch of time - but you've got sharp eyes. ”

"It's impossible not to notice it." With regret on his face, Lin Yiyan took out two steamed buns from his right pocket and threw one of them over. As soon as he received it, the scent that had been away from the library for quite some time but was still strong began to irritate Yugeo's stomach.

"Looks like it's a little scorched because of that uncle's flame attack."

"Ahaha...... That's right. Thanks, I'm going. Cardinal's food generated by advanced divine techniques, which means that the predecessor of this bun was also a few pages from a valuable ancient book, but Yugeo no longer cared about this, and opened his mouth to bite down, feeling the juice under the skin of the bun and the pleasure of the meat filling squeezing out of his teeth, while intently chewing.

The pitiful lunch was eaten in only a few dozen seconds, and Yugeo licked his fingers with regret and sighed briefly. Although Yi Yan's left pocket was also strangely swollen, Yugeo let it go and turned to talk to his partner who had finished eating at the same time.

"Thank you for your hospitality. - So, what should be done? Thirty minutes further up to the 50th floor...... Still, do you want to rush through from the front? ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yiyan scratched his hair and said in a low voice, "Almost...... - although I had an unpleasant experience of the horror of the integration knight just now, judging from the battle between you and the uncle, it is not so much that they are still not used to continuous skills, but that they have not experienced this kind of move before. In other words, if we develop into a one-on-one close battle, we have a chance of winning. However, since the enemy has several people and is in good position, this is difficult. ”

"So...... Instead of taking the front staircase, look for any other stairs you can bypass? ”

Dinal had asserted that the main staircase was the only way to access it, and that even if he found the path, he would be in danger of being caught between the left and right...... Those knights on the 50th floor, no matter what, they have to go up from this side and take them down. So, we have to use our last trump card as well. Luckily, thanks to Uncle Tuo's warning, we had enough time to prepare for that lengthy technique before breaking through to the 50th floor. ”

"That's right...... Armed Total Domination Technique......" Yugeo whispered the term, and Lin Yiyan nodded with a stern expression.

"It's still a little uneasy to use this in earnest, but now there's no chance for us to try the sword's destiny first...... We can only use the Armed Total Domination technique to gain the upper hand while breaking through to the 50th floor, and try to incapacitate as many knights as possible......"

"Ah, about this matter, Yi Yan ......" Yugeo interrupted Lin Yiyan's words with a hint of guilt, "That...... My Total Domination technique doesn't feel like it's a high-powered direct attack like the previous Fusion Knight's moves......"

"Huh...... Is that so? ”

"That...... It was Ms. Cardinal who wrote down the procedure...... Although the person who imagined what kind of technique it was was me......" Listening to Yugeo's whisper as if looking for an excuse, Lin Yiyan tilted his head and said, "Then, anyway, let's memorize it once and try it first." Remember to remove the opening sentence. ”

"yes, okay." According to Lin Yiyan, Yugeo removed the "System Call" and began to chant quickly. Lin Yiyan, who listened with his eyes closed, laughed out loud after listening to the last sentence of "Enhance Armament" in the technique, which was completely opposite to Yugeo's expectations.

"I see, indeed, it's not something 'aggressive'. But...... It's also amazing. Moreover, it is not bad for my moves. ”

"Eh, what's your move?"

"I'll look forward to that." Hearing Lin Yiyan say such optimistic words, Yugeo glared slightly. However, the partner just stroked his bangs with a cheerful expression and leaned his back against the wall again.

"Well, it's not a battle, but that's it. First, keep the Armed Total Domination Technique in a state of waiting to be activated before rushing to the 50th floor. After rushing in to confirm the enemy's position, you first perform your special move, and I will follow you. If the enemy is lucky enough to hold on to one place, it may be able to render them all ineffective. ”

"Perhaps." Yugeo was suspicious, and although he didn't want to agree, he couldn't think of any other plan at all. When it comes to the ability to use all the conditions in battle, I have to admit that the partner is one of the best masters, and for Yugeo, who still has no confidence in high-speed chanting, even chanting before battle is actually a bit tricky.

“…… So, let's go for it. First of all, I'll ......," Yugeo said, casting his gaze on the staircase leading to the 29th floor. Then his eyes widened in surprise. From the shadow of the railing, two tiny heads poked out, four eyes staring at this side.

At the moment when they met Yugeo's eyes, both heads quickly retracted, but while Yugeo was still staring blankly, the other party slowly poked his head out, and his big round eyes kept blinking.

Lin Yiyan finally realized the abnormality of Eugeo and turned around, and was also speechless for a while, but he still asked tremblingly, "You guys...... Who is it? ”

The two heads exchanged glances, nodded at the same time, and revealed their whole bodies little by little.

"Little ...... Child......? Yugeo subconsciously sighed. In front of the two of them, two young girls dressed in identical black clothes appeared. Their age, no matter how you look at it, is only about ten years old. For a moment, Yugeo felt a little nostalgic for the simple black clothes, which were similar to the monastic robes that Alice's sister Serka, who had studied in the church in Loulid Village.

However, only two young girls had short swords about thirty cen long hanging from their green belts, unlike Serka. Noticing this, Yugeo instantly raised his guard, but immediately realized that both the hilt and the scabbard were made of red-black wood. The color is a little different, but it's the same thing as the wooden sword that was first awarded to children who were swordsmen.

The girl on the right has pale brown hair braided into two braids, and the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping, giving people the impression of weakness, while the girl on the left has short wheat-colored hair, and the corners of her eyes are competitive and competitive. Bathed in the silent gaze of Eugeo and Yi Yan, the first person to take a step was indeed the girl on the left who had a strong desire to win. She took a deep breath and began to introduce herself abruptly:

"That...... I, no, below is Sister Fizel, a trainee in the Congregational Church. This is the ...... who is also a trainee nun."

"Li...... Lynel. ”

The two of them spoke in a high pitch, but the tail notes trembled with nervousness. Hearing this, Yugeo reflexively showed a reassuring smile, but immediately realized that even if the other party was an intern, since he was a nun of the church, it meant that he was an enemy of the two of them.
