Verse 166: The lonely fallen knight
"My lord, allow me to follow you and be loyal to you. Inside the tent, the rope half-knelt in front of the needle, and his tone was sincere.
"Oh, what did you mean just now, that you would rather give up the compensation of the sea ship for the chance to follow me, why did you decide to do so?"
Xisuo took a deep breath and looked up at the needle gold: "Lord needle gold, you are a Templar, the only heir of the Hundred Needle family, and the future Lord of Baisha City! β
"If I accept the compensation of the new ship, I will at most be the same as my father and become the owner of a sea-going ship. In order to make a living, he had to brave the stormy waves again and again and fight for his life in the ocean. Every voyage requires all the best and racking your brains, and if you encounter a powerful pirate or a vicious sea monster, my ship is at risk of sinking. Just like this shipwreck. β
Needle Jin nodded: "You answered very sincerely, I can hear it, this is all from the bottom of your heart." β
"That's good, Sso So, I allow you to follow. β
"But please also remember this moment, remember your sincerity in this moment. β
"I want you to keep that good quality up. β
Sasoso was overjoyed, and stammered a little excitedly: "I, I understand, my lord, I understand!"
But the next moment, a stream of bright red blood suddenly gushed out from the mouth of the thin rope.
Miscord's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the needle gold in shock: "You...... You're not a Templar!"
"Monster, you're a monster!"
He jerked at his chest, and at some point, a fatal wound appeared in his chest that pierced through his body.
"I ...... I misread you......"
With a pop, the cord fell to the ground, leaving no breath left.
"No!" exclaimed, and quickly woke up from the nightmare.
A cold sweat.
He gasped for a few breaths before he stabilized himself.
Looking around, there was a lot of calm around.
Although the sun and moon are not seen in the underground alchemy factory, whether it is a beard, a scab, or a purple di, there is a means to keep time.
It was late at night.
The survivors made it past the lava battlefield, and only about thirty remained.
Because of the fire elemental that attracted the attention of the golem, after the needle gold was recovered by the two cathar knights, he immediately set off, and the rest of the journey was very smooth, and he was not chased or intercepted.
The garrison golems are all man-made, with very low intelligence, and mainly rely on the command of the tower spirit. But Taling's voice has never been seen in the Magma Battlefield.
This is the middle segment of the channel.
Scab Sha used the Polar Eye Technique to find that there would be no problems with resting here for a night, so he ordered a rest.
He had almost exhausted his powers, and he could barely heal the other survivors.
The scab had finished praying early and evening, and fell into a deep sleep under the protection of the two knights of the cathar.
"How am I going to explain it to him? Father must have seen my mutation as he rushed through the magma battlefield today, but he didn't say anything. β
Needle Kim knew that Scab was waiting for him to confess.
But how can needle gold be spoken?
"Marlin ......"
"I killed him with my own hands!"
Remorse and powerlessness welled up in my heart.
Needlegold closed his eyes in pain, and he sat on the ground, his back against the metal cave wall, feeling the coldness of the silvery-white metal, which seemed to be transmitted to the depths of his heart.
The young knight fell into a deep remorse: "At that time I should have stopped my hand, and I should not have dealt a heavy hand. I should recall that the scouts conducting the reconnaissance were all invisible. Why did I forget? Why did I forget this?"
However, a voice came from the deepest part of his heart: "Don't be too sad, this is just a mistake." β
"No, I'm falling...... I have fallen. My hands have been stained with the blood of my companions. β
"Damn, I obviously want to save him!"
"I obviously wanted to save him!!"
Needle Gold Fact gritted his teeth, covered his eyes with the palm of his right hand, he raised his head, the back of his head against the cold wall, and his left fist clenched very tightly.
The scene of him killing Susso replayed in his mind.
When it was discovered that it was a cord, the needle gold was filled with shock.
However, when he tries to save the squirrel, he discovers that it is a fatal wound, and Needlegold immediately falls into confusion.
In the face of the accusation of the rope, he subconsciously retorted.
Suddenly, he heard the shouts of the cathar knights, and his heart jumped, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he violently urged the heart core and absorbed the cord directly!
"No!"
"I swore I would never attack the Terrans. But not only did I do it, but I also killed my own companions. β
"Why do I want to destroy the corpse? Why?!"
This question is what torments him the most.
He couldn't avoid the question.
"It's my cowardice, it's my fear, it's my fear of misunderstanding. β
"I can explain it clearly. I can. β
"How?" he sneered at another voice in his mind.
"Why did I kill him, wasn't it because I was afraid that he would tell my secret? Isn't it bothering me to say things I shouldn't have said?"
"Come to think of it, didn't I save the life of the rope?"
"But he doesn't know how to be grateful, and he still wants to embarrass me! Let the cathar knight misunderstand me, the consequences will be very serious!"
"No!" Needle Jin hugged his head and shouted in his heart, "Get out, I never thought of it like this, and I am by no means such a despicable and sinister villain!!"
The voice in his heart laughed again: "Then I'll change my way of saying it, and let me accept it more." β
"Hmm...... I can't be misunderstood, because I'm responsible!"
"The responsibility to revitalize the family, the responsibility to protect the fiancΓ©e, and the responsibility to lead the survivors around them to escape from this island. I promised them, didn't I?"
"So, I can't die, I can't be misunderstood, I can't live up to what other people expect of me. β
"No, no, no, it's a quibble, it's all quibbles. Needlegold buried his head almost in his chest, and he struggled to fight the darkness inside.
"I'm falling! I'm falling into the abyss!" the young knight felt so weak at this moment, like a leaf in the wind.
But soon, the voice in his heart rang out again: "Fall? What is Fall?"
"To go against the Templar path is to fall?"
"Take it easy, I just made the right choice. This choice is sensible enough to prove that I am intelligent. β
"Look at the present, no one knows the truth. No one will think that you killed the moso. β
Needle Jin opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he retorted loudly in his heart: "No, I want to confess, I want to confess, to atone!"
"Hehehe, you go......" The voice in his heart didn't stop him.
"Here you go!" the voice in my heart shouted.
But he didn't say anything to retort, and his face grew paler and paler, like the face of a dead man.
His breathing was so faint that it looked like a dead man had lost his breath.
At this moment, he realized that he couldn't tell the secret of killing Suso, and he didn't have the courage to reveal the secret of his heart!
Before, every time he mustered up his courage, he felt that he was close to the door, and there would always be something unexpected or someone else sabotage.
But in fact, is that really the case?
No.
If he really wants to say it, he can say it most of the time.
"Actually, I don't want to say it, I don't want to!"
"The reason why I want to confess to the priest is only because of the external pressure of survival. β
"Who doesn't want to be glamorous, who doesn't want to hide their darkness and ugliness? I think, I want to!"
Remorse, loss, pain, and sorrow tormented the boy, torturing his heart, and the boy realized the truest thoughts in his heart.
A torturous night passed.
The crowd set off again.
Scouts need to scout for the way forward.
"Let me do it. "Needle Gold took the initiative to ask for help.
The crowd was amazed and objected.
Needle Jin shook his head and was resolute: "Everyone needs more rest, and my condition is relatively good." And just passed the magma battlefield, maybe the next road is more dangerous, and more powerful people are needed to investigate. It was a decision I made, and I insisted on it. β
He needs to keep himself busy, so busy that he doesn't think about it.
Scouts need more than one person.
A bronze-level crew member took the initiative to half-kneel down, and said to Needle Gold in an excited tone: "Lord Needle Gold, your life was saved by you, and it has been more than this time. Please let me follow you, this time with you!"
The act of returning to the battlefield yesterday inspired the crew.
Needle Gold frowned, and at this moment, he seemed to see the thin rope: "No, I'll go alone." Get up for me!"
The crew was slightly stunned.
Needle Jin also realized that his reaction just now was a bit excessive, so he opened his mouth to make up for it: "At the moment, there is no fork in the road. I only need to be alone, what you need more is to recuperate. β
Needle Gold's words once again won him the praise and reverence of everyone.
However, in the face of such a gaze and attitude, Needle Gold just wanted to dodge.
The investigation went very smoothly, and it was so smooth that there were some suspicions about the needle.
Next, in the disbelief of everyone, they did not encounter any golems, slayers, traps, traps, or magic traps.
And so it went on for two more days.
Needle gold is like a year.
"My lord, don't feel sorry for the victims. What's more important is to lead the remaining living companions to leave here together. Cangsu persuaded.
"Lord Needle Gold, it's not your fault. We don't blame you either. You've done well enough. Bai Ya was also comforted.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Actually, I also have a lot to say to you. Zidi found the needle gold in private.
"Remember, child, that the eyes of the Lord of Wisdom are burning on everything, and no shadow can be hidden. "Scabs also encourage gold injections.
However, these encouragements, comforts, persuasions, etc., will only make Needle Jin feel more ashamed.
More...... Lonely.
"There's a corpse up ahead!" the scout returned with an important piece of information.
The corpse of a Sanctuary powerhouse fell in the aisle.
There are traces of fierce fighting everywhere.
"He should be one of the strong men attacking here. Wait, this costume ......"
"He's from the Bloodlight Sanctions!"
Everyone rushed here, and their hearts were shocked.
