Chapter 66: A Land of One

Ben Don Quixote, the eldest son of the Don Quixote family, the premier nobleman of Helutia, became the No.1 of the 171st issue of the Wind Furnace Academy with the strength of a gold-rank royal knight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info disappeared during an A-class hunting mission two years ago and was deemed dead by the church a month after his disappearance.

No one could have imagined that the future hope of the Don Quixote family would be trapped in Shakdam for two years.

Walking through the noisy long street, Ben stopped in front of a simple house, and knocked on the door six times as if he were passing a code, three softly, three heavily, and after about ten seconds, the door opened. A clown with a face covered in oil paint appeared in front of them, and when he saw Lin Qiu, the clown stretched out his index finger in shock.

"You were the ...... of that night"

Apparently, the Joker did not lose the memory of that night.

Ben opened a secret door, and Lin Qiu followed him for a long time, and finally came to a dark basement. The basement is constructed in a very different style from Shakdam's architecture, with two torches hanging diagonally at the entrance, and a bar resembling a masked man standing in the center of the room.

As soon as they entered the room, all eyes in the basement were focused on them.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but first. ”

Ben found a nearby location: "This is Shakdam's Underground Knights' Guild, and the only target of the guild's existence is Reinhardt's head." ”

The cost of killing someone more powerful than the Templars is incalculable.

The Underground Knights Guild has launched 12 rebellions, all 12 rebellions have been suppressed by Shakdam's army, and Ben Don Quixote, as the leader of the guild, has been "killed" by Reinhardt 12 times, and what Lin Qiu experienced that night was the 12th rebellion.

Ben told him that 120 knights had been killed in the rebellion.

In fact, when Ben Don Quixote woke up from the brink of death for the fourth time, he understood Reinhardt's intentions, and he did not deliberately want to let them go, but he could not kill them in the "dream".

Ben's words just confirmed Lin Qiu's guess.

Everything in Shakdam is a dream country constructed by Reinhardt through the power of the mark, and adventurers who pass through the sandstorm area will be affected by Reinhardt's mark and fall into the boundless dream. Reinhardt was able to reconstruct the three dukes of Shakdam with his own memories, but he was unable to simulate the diverse citizens of the city, and in order to convince Princess Rose that Shakdam was real, he had to tamper with the memories of the adventurers and make them become members of Shakdam.

However, the effects of the engraving will fade over time for knights of the rank of royal knight.

Ben Don Quixote was the first to recover his memory, and the first thing he did to recover it was to assassinate Reinhardt. The end, of course, ended with his head being different. After learning the lesson of his first recklessness, Ben began to be active in the underworld of Shakdam, trying to find knights like him who had recovered their memories due to the decay of the inscription, and eventually, he found three other royal knights, and the prototype of the Underground Knights' Guild was formed.

Since then, they have been carrying out assassinations and rebellions with little hope until the seventh rebellion, when things have taken a turn for the better.

Alyssa Shucarredo made her way to Shakdam and began a week-long battle with Reinhardt, with the two Templars leveling everything in Shakdam, and the sky over Shakdam was obscured by black and white flames for several days. At the end of the battle, Reinhardt took advantage of Elisa's unpreparedness and used the power of the mark to put her to sleep.

After the rebuilding of Shakdam, the power of the Reinhardt Seal plummeted, and 100 Silver Knights broke free from the Sign's control and joined the crusade against Reinhardt. After that, Reinhardt began to rewind the time to the first five days of his birth. After the battle with Lin Qiu, the control of the seal became weaker and weaker.

Lin Qiu suddenly realized, no wonder after his "death", Reinhardt did not immediately kill the Grand Duke of Slark, because the Knight King himself knew that in his dream world, no matter how many times he killed this foreign knight, it would be useless. But that doesn't mean they're in control, and he's almost invincible in a world constructed by Reinhardt's seal.

Not to mention 12 times, even if such a rebellion comes again 20 times, they may not be able to put an end to this dream world. He could not approve of Ben-Don Quixote's reckless behavior: "It is useless to repeat the rebellion. ”

"But we have no other way. ”

Ben Don Quixote responded. It wasn't that he hadn't tried other means, but the three dukes and the knights of the royal city never wavered. They don't seem to have their original memories at all, and every time Shakdam recovers, their memories are refreshed.

"In fact, the method has been laid out in front of your eyes for a long time. ”

"Speak quickly!"

"You've been mistaken all along, the reason for the existence of this world is not Reinhardt, but Princess Rose. ”

Although Ben had planned 12 rebellions, he had never observed Princess Rose so closely as Lin Qiu. And long before his birthday, Lin Qiu had already had doubts - everything in this kingdom existed for Princess Rose alone.

Another fundamental reason Reinhardt keeps going back in time before his birth is that Princess Rose has become a witness to everything - he doesn't want Princess Rose to have even a trace of memories related to the rebellion.

"Actually, the crux of the matter is that Reinhardt is really afraid of Princess Rose seeing him kill someone, or is it a rebel?"

couldn't help but stagnate, Lin Qiu's words opened up new possibilities for him.

"Personally, I think that's secondary. What he was really afraid of was to make Princess Rose doubt about the kingdom itself, so he could only let time go back in time before he could eradicate the hidden dangers. ”

In Lin Qiu's opinion, even if he joined forces with Ben, he was not Reinhardt's opponent at all, so he didn't plan to go toe-to-toe with Reinhardt from the beginning.

"If you want to make Princess Rose suspicious, you must use the people who exist in the kingdom itself to 'warn' her. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, we need to use the power of the three dukes. ”

Hearing this, Ben shook his head vigorously: "Give up, you can't imagine how loyal they are to Reinhardt." ”

He lobbied every Grand Duke, and each time he was thrown out by the guards without exception.

"Of course, I didn't tell them the truth. In order to restore everything about Shakdam, Reinhardt also had to leave a 'loophole' that I could take advantage of. ”

Edward Heiberg's ambitions for expansion, and Fisher Slark's concerns about the lack of a successor to the family...... As a former hacker, it's his job to find vulnerabilities. Reinhardt, who was at the heart of the kingdom that was created and sustained, did not have the ability to notice every corner of the kingdom at the same time.

"But before we cooperated, I still had a question, why did you, as the first student of the 171st class of the Wind Furnace Academy, appear here?"

Ben Don Quixote suddenly became a little shy when he heard the question: "That's because ......"

After hesitating for a long time, he spoke: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it now, I have always wanted to win over one person, so I took over the task of a hundred years thanks to my father's relationship." ”

It's no wonder that Ben was recognized as dead by the church a month later, and most of the people in the church felt that with the strength of the gold-level royal knight, he had already been buried under the wind and sand, and there was no way to find his body.

"Who is that person?"

"Ophelia, the student who has been the top student since she entered the school. ”

Eventually, Ben said a name that Lin Qiu didn't expect.
