Chapter 21: The World Is Enemy (2)

"The next time you do this kind of thing, can you tell me first? No, you don't want to do this kind of thing next time! What if you can't wake up?"

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

"Is it okay to lie down for three days? I'm afraid you'll never wake up again!"

"But I'm really fine......"

"Also, why did you let them guard you, and even my fiancΓ©e was not allowed to approach?"

"Forehead ......"

"Are you afraid that I will lift your mask?"

Gray didn't know how to answer.

Shelley continued: "As long as you don't agree, I will never open it." Or...... Just open a small slit and look at it, just a glance. Paz said that you may be a barbarian from the north, or even an elf, which is why you insist on wearing armor......"

"Ahem!" Paz, who was standing aside, coughed twice in embarrassment.

"You did say it!" Shelley turned his head angrily and glared at Path, then turned back to Gray and continued: "We've thought a lot about it these days, and everyone else has guessed it, don't worry, even if you're an elf, I won't mind!

The black cat was already covering its face with its paws.

Gray looked at Shelley, continuing to wonder how to answer.

Lowering his voice, Shelley blinked his eyes and whispered, "So...... Lift?"

Gray shook his head in fright.

"Don't worry! I like barbarians! Elves like it!"

Gray continued to shake his head.

"Okay. But you're going to have to open it someday, aren't you? I'm going to feel sorry to see you injured and lying in bed and wearing armor. My paladin has left justice to others, but he himself is under great pressure......"

As she spoke, Shelley's eyes moistened.

"Even if you were a demon, I would be willing to marry you. You should trust me!"

......

Outside the door, Ireen and Count Grugru were talking in whispers.

"It's right to be sure it's Gray, thank goodness, Gray is still alive. Irene drew a cross on her chest and said gratefully, "The Holy Spirit did not completely forsake him. But what should we do next?"

"Surrender. Count Gruglu said with a blank face: "If I had to choose, surrender would be the only choice." ”

"Do you think it's possible? Gray will surrender?"

"What else could he do? He provoked the most powerful man on the entire continent. Although the Holy See did not officially declare war on Gray, it no longer makes a difference. Just like in the Battle of the White City, Gray may be able to defeat the combined forces of the Kingdom of Allen, Benedict II, Duke Fernandez, and Duke Donguis, of course, it will take a miracle. The most important thing is that he cannot defeat the Holy See. As long as the Holy See does not fail, then things will go on and on, and they can always incite other countries to wage war against us. ”

Erin held her forehead and said anxiously, "The worst thing is that Gray doesn't realize what he's done at all. ”

"You think he doesn't know?" asked Count Grugru.

"You think he knows?" asked Irene.

Taking a deep breath, Count Gruglu continued, "I thought the same thing as you before, and I thought he was a ...... There are no people in the city. But the reality is in front of us, a hundred elite knights of the Silver Moon Knights. None of us know where these people came from, just as none of us know where Gray came from. It's been half a year since he appeared, and apart from pure chivalry and divine ideals, he looks ...... Like a fool. However, no one can extract his true identity from his mouth. Is this a man who doesn't have a city?"

Irene listened quietly.

Count Grugru continued: "He is hiding a lot from us, a lot. Before the accident, the entire Lion King was surging undercurrent, everyone was planning, and he seemed to be completely unaware. However, at the most critical moment, before the king was crowned, he used a reason that every one of us knows - Prince Bob's justice, to pull the king off the horse. Disrupted everyone's plans. Do you really think this is a whim and a brain fever? A hundred elite knights who don't know where they came from, appeared in the Lion King Capital overnight. ”

Irene listened quietly, her eyes slowly widening.

"A normal cavalryman, it takes at least two days to travel from Baicheng to the Lion King Capital, and they have to change horses along the way, day and night. Of course, if you follow the nearest route, one day is fine. But it was impossible for the cavalry to rush straight through the swamp. What does that mean? It means that these knights are already on their way. It wasn't a temporary summoning. What do you think he summoned the Silver Moon Knights to the Lion King Capital in advance?"

Irene continued to listen quietly, and Count Grugru's words were breaking through her previous cognition little by little.

He had summoned the Knights many days in advance, but during the day of the incident he had gone to the Grand Theater with Benedict II. I sent for one of Benedict II's retinue, and he told me that the paladins were on good terms with the king. They get along well during the day, but draw their swords at night, and they are premeditated swords. ”

Speaking of this, Count Grugrew couldn't help but gasp: "Gray can only be two kinds of people, one is the scheming person, as most of us think. Another ...... He's a man with a deeper scheming than any of us. He deceived all of us, and we all believe in him today. To be honest, I think he's the second now, and I wish he was the second. ”

"Why?" asked Irene, hesitantly.

"If it were the first case, we would have no other way but to run away now. Count Gruglu spread his hands and said, "The bad thing is that even if we run away, it will be useless. We had nowhere to go, and White City was not safe. If they can defeat Gray here, they won't mind continuing their march into White City and then dividing up our territory. And if it's the second option, then Gray must have other options ready now, and we just need to follow him. After all...... It is impossible for a man who can fool all of us to make such a lowly mistake and provoke the Holy See without preparation......?

"And what?"

"And, the Holy Spirit. Pointing to the sky, Count Grugrew said earnestly, "He is the one who has guardian angels, we have all met. He claimed that his actions were approved by the Holy Spirit. How does the Holy Spirit approve an act that even the Holy See opposes? How does he communicate with the Holy Spirit? To this day, the Holy See still does not declare him a heretic, which is not their style. Maybe Gray was standing many, many higher than we were, and could see what we couldn't see, and based on that, he made the right decision?"

Irene was silent.

Standing silently in place, she thought for a long time and said softly, "Understood, I will stand firmly by Gray's side." Let's go inside. ”

"Hmm. Count Grugru nodded.

......

"Don't mention that priest again!" Shelley yelled, "how could he be my Paladin's mentor?

"But he's just following his heart, maybe he has a more important mission?"

"I think he's just afraid of death, I despise him like this!"

"You can't do that. He was a good and upright pastor who believed in the Holy Spirit devoutly. Gray said earnestly.

Shelley blinked and hesitated, "Okay...... Then I despise him for a while, and I will go down for a while. ”

Seeing Ireen and Count Grugru push the door in, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.

Coughing dryly, Ireen whispered, "I've sent someone to pick up Bob, it should be there soon." Maybe you'll want to meet him. ”

"Bob?"

"Yes. He was settled in the Lion King's Palace, and the King had fled, and now the Lion King's Palace was completely empty. After all, he is a prince, and he is also the cause of the matter. I can't keep him here. We need to let everyone know that he is completely autonomous and not coerced. Of course, I've sent Mike over there to protect him, and no one can hurt him. You can rest assured. ”

"Thank you. Gray whispered.

There was a commotion in the distance, and everyone in the room turned their faces sideways.

"That's the person who heard that you had woken up and rushed to meet you. Irene said.

"Coming to meet me?"

"Yes, they all want to see you and see if you're okay. Although it doesn't really make sense, after all...... You're wearing armor and it's easy to want to impersonate you. However, for the sake of calming people's hearts, it is better for you to meet them, just do it, and let them know that you are still alive. Don't talk about anything. ”

Gray nodded.

"But before that, can you tell us what you're going to think next? I mean, what are you going to do next? After all, we need to cooperate with you, aren't we? The situation is very bad now, countless times worse than it was during the Battle of the White City. As your companions, we should not be ignorant. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Gray, waiting quietly.

Gray half-tilted his head and thought for a long time, and then said firmly: "We must defend justice, and if anyone opposes it, then fight until they submit! Either we die in battle, or they surrender!" The Holy Spirit is still hesitating. In that case, let us use victory and let the Holy Spirit choose between us and them!"

"Yes!" replied as the Silvermoon Knights stood around them slammed their breastplates into their breastplates.

"Let the Holy Spirit Make the Choice......

Everyone except the Silver Moon Knights was stunned, only Shelley smiled sweetly, and she said seriously: "I will stand firmly by my paladin's side, no matter whether I win or lose, whether I live or die!"
