Chapter 120: Foolishness
With a chill, Evie's description could easily lead one to associate the Nightlight with the cult, and Tarrant asked, "That sword is from the hands of the Fallen?"
"Yes, the evening light gives the user great combat power, and according to the investigation of the local security forces, all paladins have died from sword wounds. ”
Tarrant had already seen what Evening Light was capable of, and Cho Penny used it to defeat both squads, "which is in line with what we realized. ”
Evie smiled faintly, "After destroying that organization, the glory of Cho Penny was spread again, and the town almost wanted to worship her as a god, but she refused all the gifts and returned to Glory with only the loot, Evening Light, and from there strange transformations began, often talking to herself, or holding Evening Light and crying. ”
Tarrant took a sip of hot water and speculated: "The departure of her teammates may have caused a big psychological blow, and the evening light has become a kind of symbolic sustenance." ”
Evie continued, "One night when Cho Penny left Glory alone, no one knew where she went, and then, when she reappeared, she was already a member of the Paladins of the Dark Temple. ”
A legendary fall, Katrina lamented, "Something must have happened when the cult was destroyed." ”
Evie lowered her voice, "I looked through the records of the time, and one of her dead teammates had a broken wrist, and another Iron Paladin was attacked in the back, stabbed in the left leg, and died of blood loss, and the wound was treated by Divine Grace. ”
Tarrant gasped, Evie's hint was already obvious, but it couldn't be logically tenable, why did Prunny do it? They were relatives fighting side by side, and there was no reason for that.
"I wonder if this series of changes is coming." Evie asked.
She seemed to already know the truth, and Tarrant didn't deny curiosity.
"The mystery lies in the evening light, and we all ignore the role it plays, and the weapon is more than just an artifact. Sometimes it is also given to the soul of the maker. ”
A rare concept, Tarrant was a little puzzled, just like hearing from Adrian at the time to communicate with trees, "I didn't understand, the night light has a soul?"
"Yes, it has a mind, and when I picked it up, there were broken words, visions, strange communication, and it instigated me to attack Trumpney. I can even speak to it clearly. ”
"Wait," Tarrant turned to Katrina, "Is there such a thing?"
"Maybe", Catrina stuck out her tongue.
Evie explains: "We've already identified it. The sword body is a six-star toughness, with a buff effect, which greatly improves the user's body functions, and the core of the hilt exudes jīng divine magic, perhaps this power makes the user hallucinate and be controlled by the weapon. The strangest thing is that our mage accidentally discovers that the night light seems to have some kind of untriggered ability. ”
"Trumpny also hides the true strength of the evening light?!" Tarrant was surprised, if so, everyone who is alive should be grateful for Trumpney's kindness.
"Can't identify. That ability had been in the dust for at least four hundred years, and it was impossible to go back to the last time it was used. ”
"Didn't its previous owner use it either?" asked Katrina.
"Perhaps those users have not yet discovered the power of zài." Evie made a hypothesis that even she couldn't believe, "about the cult master." He was once a demon hunter who hunted down several notorious necromancers, and was a feared figure for evil. ”
"Another fallen messenger of justice?" Tarrant immediately sympathized with him, "I see, this is the cycle of the evening light, which lures justice into darkness until death before looking for the next prey, and you must destroy it!"
"We're thinking about it, it's not easy for a six-star tough weapon to destroy it", Evie clapped her hands, "I have to go down, these desert plums are here." ”
Tarrant watched her walk out the door, "If I can spot the ability of the evening light in time, Cho Penny can survive." ”
"The influence of the mind doesn't end immediately after losing the sword, you did the right thing", Evie closed the door.
Katrina reassured: "You can't expect everything to be perfect. ”
"Let's get out of here", Tarrant didn't want to stay here any longer, every minute he was in pain.
"You're very weak now," said Katrina, packing up her dishes, "at least wait for you to recover." ”
"I miss Stewart a little", Tarrant barely stood up, breathless, buzzing in his ears, and even more severe pain in his leg, he reached out and touched it, and there was a W-shaped scar under the gauze, which was a stab from Trumpney.
"Don't worry, I've written to tell him we're here. ”
"Whew-" Tarrant lay down heavily, unable to do anything.
"These desert plums are fresh", Katrina took one out and stuffed it into Tarrant's mouth, "Why are you prejudiced against Evie?"
"I don't", Tarrant closed his eyes, the sweetness of the fruit proved that it had just been plucked, Desert Mette was produced in the heart of the Western Desert in Iberon, it was rare in quantity, it could help restore blood flow and regeneration, it was a great help to blood loss, Evie must have spent a lot of money.
"You are kind to everyone, but you are a little resistant to Evie, and from the time we lived in the leafy forest, it seemed that there were some conflicts of opinion", Katrina calmly recounted, "I am very lucky, if I had not neutralized it with my blood that morning, maybe I would have been tied to the cross." Donatello ordered Conasius to destroy all the vampires, right? He would make sure that the vampire crisis was completely eliminated and that no element was missed. ”
Tarrant was speechless, he stupidly overestimated his IQ.
"Evie is here to 'take care' of me, right?"
"I'm sorry. ”
"You want to protect me from getting hurt," Katrina sighed with a smile, "just like Sorrentino." ”
"Uncle ......"
"I understand, I understand everything", Katrina held out that palm, "don't worry about me, she can't find out about my problem, and the most knowledgeable mage won't understand, only Jim ......." ”
"Hey!" Tarrant grabbed her hand, "You have something new?"
Katrina put his hand back on the covers, "Rest well, I'm looking forward to the trip to the Silver Lake Forest." ”
She looked relaxed as she left with her plate, Tarrant closed her eyes, her mind full of Katrina's strange expression just now, yes, she has always been a clever mage, she knows what is happening around her, it is pointless to conceal it, stupid! Tarrant even suspected that Katrina had been in contact with Evie when she was not looking.
The pain all over her body slowly recovered from the perception, her arms, legs, and back, every part of it made Tarrant clearly remember the battle with Cho Penny, she was so good and tenacious, if she continued to serve Maxine, she would definitely create more miracles, damn the night light!
A dull and gloomy light came out of the window, and the clouds instantly covered it up.
The trial of the paladins is about to begin, Tarrant silently repeats the prayer that Wilsin's justice will punish Maxine's justice, may ...... Tarrant couldn't find the right message, and the ending was very sad, "May nothing happen again before leaving", Tarrant prayed slowly. (To be continued......)
