"Sure enough, it was Gawain who commissioned you. ”

Distortion crouched on the side of the road and rubbed the back of his aching neck.

Gawain was indeed his friend, at least once was. But it all goes back centuries, before the upheaval within the church, when he, Gawain, and Glahide helped the church thrive, and Maranfin made up for the devastation of his departure, and when everything was back on track, someone put an issue on the table.

The Roundtable Council needs a leader.

The current bishop has succeeded Charnoya in his vacancy, but no one in the Round Table has ever had the power of Maranfuin. So the three of them became the most concerned contenders. Gawain and his Don Quixote family were wealthy families in the imperial capital and had close ties to the Senate, while Graheid was born into the plebeian class, and only by being aberrant could he have the most orthodox inheritance of the Church.

"So one day, Gawain found me privately. ”

Distorted staring at the cold moonlight, it also happened to be outside the imperial capital at that time, and he waited for a long time on this hundred-year-old path before Gawain appeared in front of him. Gawain claimed that avoiding his family and church had taken a lot of his energy. His opening remarks were unexpected.

Gawain stood right in front of him, smiled and said, "You should inherit the seat of Maranfuin, you are expected by all...... But you need to be more convincing. ”

At that time, the three of them were in the middle of the match, and they all understood what it meant to inherit Maranfuin's seat.

First Horseman.

Since the founding of Holutiah, only one person has sat in this position, and since his exile, the seat of the Chief Knights of the Round Table has been vacant.

"The knights want a spiritual leader, and I can't convince the people because of my family's ties with the Senate. You are my best friend, and if it were you, I would be able to lead you to a more brilliant future...... So, I'm going to tell you about this method. ”

"What way?" Aberration admits that he was tempted at that time.

"I can give you the power of Maran Ferin. ”

......

"So the relationship between you is ......" Although there was a faint guess in his heart, Lin Qiu still opened his mouth to confirm.

"It's just the relationship between the prisoner and the guard. ”

As Gawain's voice came out, the trail was suddenly enveloped in a fog, and he stood on a tree, his fingers as if manipulating some kind of invisible silk thread. With each movement of his index finger, the fog around him became a little thicker. Lin Qiu in the mist was like an ice cellar, and a layer of white ice formed between his sleeves.

"Newcomer, it's really hard for you, now that you have completed the agreement, then I will also answer your questions as promised, the past, present and future, the relationship between me and the aberration will always be the pursuer and the pursued. But it was really unexpected, I didn't expect that after becoming a sub-demon, it was really possible to regain consciousness. ”

Gawain found the answer he craved most.

Cervela ...... No, it should be that Bai Guji's recovery is not accidental, and the way to resist the demons in the heart really exists!

"This layer of ice mist can block his abilities, and you have nothing to hide, distorted. ”

"That's exactly what you can say. ”

Even though most of his body was frozen in ice, the distortion still looked the same as usual: "But after all those things back then, do you think I will fall into your trap?" Gawain-Don Quixote, it was you who opened the door to the realm level for me, and after I crossed that threshold, how much do you know about my abilities?"

Gawain raised his index finger, and the ice mist was even colder, and the distorted body was frozen into ice in an instant.

However, this did not stop the distorted voice, and his voice was everywhere: "This body is given to you, and in exchange, I will accept the princess you value." ”

Gawain's complexion changed, and the shell that had been frozen into ice was necrotic and rotting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Gawain, I have given up my name, my glory, and my faith, and there is nothing in this world that can imprison me. ”

The sound was gone, and all was silent again.

"Oops. Gawain jumped down from the treetops, probed the rotting skin on the ground, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "It seems that his ability is more tricky than before, and I miscalculated his current strength and determination...... However, you have done well, and I will report your performance to the church later. ”

With that, Gawain turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute. Lin Qiu stopped the other party: "You didn't say that before. ”

Anyway, Aberration used to be my best friend, and I have something important to tell him, can you bring him to me?

At the Traveler's House, Gawain clearly smiled and begged them for help.

What happened afterwards was very different from what Gawain recounted, and he set a trap here, so that not only did he fail to catch the aberration, but also made Lin Qiu and Phoenix directly lose the trust of the aberration. And most importantly, the relationship between Gawain and the aberration is obviously not as simple as Gawain unilaterally describes.

Glahide is also mentioned in the unfinished passage of the distortion, and says that they were once hailed as the hope of the church.

But of these three so-called hopes, one became the world's great sinner and was imprisoned at the bottom of the spiral city, and the other became a traitor and was assassinated by the Assassins' Guild leader Baifeng, and only Gawain Don Quixote inherited the title of Maranfuyin and became the first knight.

"According to the rules of the church, you have no right to question any of my actions. ”

Gao Wen squinted his eyes and opened them, his eyes were full of coldness: "I think you should understand what level of sinner is aberration, now that the entire imperial capital is in his power, it is not too much to use any means against such an extremely dangerous person." After that, Gao Wen squinted his eyes again and smiled kindly: "Because you have a lot of potential, I have explained so much to you, as a newcomer who has not yet entered the round table council, it is best not to question the decision-making of the superior in the future, oh, this is a kind reminder from a senior." ”

His figure quickly disappeared into darkness, "Tyr-Cyleus, you are a knight of the Church, and it is up to you to judge who you believe." ”

"Can't trust him. ”

Not long after Gawain left, Phoenix immediately spoke.

She has no natural affection for Gawain, and her first impression is even more disgusting than the deviant.

"How so?"

Of course, Lin Qiu also understood that Gao Wen's words could not be trusted, but if he wanted to know the grievances between him and the aberration, he had to go through many aspects of research. As for the pathway...... Isn't there a living encyclopedia around him? Phoenix witnessed the rise and fall of Holutia through the eyes of a cultist, events like the Black Death, which went down in history......

"I don't know, don't ask me. ”

Phoenix replied very simply: "My disciples were dying at that time!"

......
