Chapter 138: The Knight's Oath

"The presence of the Sith is the last message that Sithia left me. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Alyssa said quietly.

When she rushed to the dying Sitia, she didn't leave much information for her.

The fatal wound was a sword wound, and it seemed that a sword pierced through her heart without Sicia even noticing. Because the wound resembles Elisa's sword skills, the people of Solan Harbor still regard her as the murderer of Sicia.

The Sith's identity is full of mystery, as if he had appeared out of nowhere. But what is certain is that the opponent's sword skills are not weaker than Baifeng's in the slightest, and he also has an extremely strange spatial system seal.

After signing the treaty and returning to the imperial capital, Alyssa set out to track down the clues left by Sicia alone.

Ten years ago, however, the search failed to make the slightest progress, and all the clues were finally broken in the border town of the Fourth Kingdom, which was destroyed by monsters, and when she followed the clues, she saw a hell on earth - knights sent from the royal capital guarded the remaining half of the town, resisting the continuous tide of demons emerging from the mountains, and the smell of blood filled the area for miles.

It was then that she gained a new understanding of the Eight Calamities, and the reason why they are known as the originators of all monsters is not only because they have the power to destroy a kingdom, but also because there is a steady stream of demonic tides in the places where they haunt - according to the locals, Ukitake has disappeared for nearly two years, but the invasion of demonic tides has never stopped.

Among the demon tides, there are even low-level S-class monsters mixed in.

Under Elisa's leadership, it took a whole year for the Church and the Knights of the Kingdom to finally reach the source of the Demon Tide, and through the combined efforts of several Templars, they were able to seal the rift in the air.

Experiencing the terrifying power of the Eight Calamities also directly led Alyssa to choose the most difficult one of the Centennial Quests - to defeat another scourge, Quicksand.

Although all the clues about the Sith were cut off, Alyssa did not give up, and in the following years, she continued to accept S-class tasks issued by the church, and at the same time overshadowed all the candidates of the Knights of the Round Table with overwhelming power, becoming the strongest person recognized by the Knights of the Round Table and the Imperial Capital.

It seems to be a coincidence that a year ago, that is, on the eve of the centennial mission of Tyr Cyrus at the request of his grandfather, Elisa suddenly heard rumors about the Sith.

Lin Qiu found that Alyssa's face was obviously a little unnatural when she mentioned the Sith, and her right hand propped up on the bed unconsciously moved towards the saber.

"That Sith...... It's stronger than I ever imagined. ”

The other party was the strongest enemy she had ever encountered, far surpassing her in terms of sword skills and engraving.

What made Alyssa even more chilling was that when she tried her best to leave a wound on the other party's body, her invincible marking ability suddenly failed. The Sith's blood didn't flow backwards as she had imagined, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking her abilities.

If it weren't for Ramov and the others, who rushed to hear the news, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have her life to return to the imperial capital.

"Now you know the reason why I didn't dare to rush after it in the Tarun Kingdom, right?"

The atmosphere was very solemn.

Lin Qiu reasoned his thoughts, that is to say, the day he crossed was exactly after Alyssa and the Sith had fought each other, and because the Knights of the Round Table and the Templars had gone to pursue the Sith, he had broken into the Holy Pool without hindrance after shaking around the church for a long time.

He was keenly aware of the coincidences of time and placeβ€”at the end of the war more than a decade ago, wasn't it the secret mission led by the Hundred Winds to assassinate Graheid, the Knight of the Round Table, and finally the battle that the Church condemned to be the end of the battle in a small border town?

But Hundred Wind said that Grahide was innocent......

Lin Qiu subconsciously had an astonishing conjecture - could it be that the secret mission to assassinate Grahide was also planned by the Sith in order to reduce the power of Herutia?

If so, doesn't that mean that he even has the power to mislead the royal family and the church?

The Church would not have easily helped the royal family issue a secret mission to assassinate a Knight of the Round Table, and if that was the case, then the Sith must have played a decisive role.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiu couldn't help but feel chills.

"I know it's useless to persuade you. ”

Alyssa looked at Lin Qiu seriously: "But I still don't want you to get involved in this matter, this is an enemy that even the Roundtable Council can't solve." ”

Lin Qiu lowered his head, and just when Alyssa thought that he had given up by default, he suddenly raised his head: "Alyssa, I will grow up as soon as possible...... At most two years, I'll be the one who can fight alongside you!"

"In the name of I, Tyre Cyrius, I hereby swear. ”

A flash of orange flame floated on Lin Qiu's chest, and finally a fleeting inscription was imprinted in front of his heart.

A knight's oath.

At the same time, it is also the highest oath to bet on the entire reputation of the knight.

......

"It's not a good thing to find someone to confide in once in a while. ”

Alyssa suddenly remembered what Ei had said to her, and the drunken old man suddenly said a bunch of inexplicable things when she left.

"Alyssa, you're never alone...... If you're willing to look back. ”

......

She suddenly felt her body tighten.

However, the person holding her was obviously more nervous than her, and Lin Qiu staggered his eyes with her red face. And before she could ask, she explained to herself that there were no silver three hundred taels in this place: "This...... By the way, when I watched the TV series...... That's supposed to be the plot, right?"

After taking the oath, Lin Qiu saw that Alyssa bowed her head and was silent, and suddenly a trace of impulse rose.

In his opinion, hugging is a very subtle gesture that, if used correctly, can win a lot of favor from the other person, but correspondingly, if used incorrectly, it can also make the other person give you a punch.

But he can't manage that much anymore, it's all at this point, even if he gets punched, it doesn't matter.

"Who told you about that ritual?"

Although this ancient ritual has been passed down for a long time, it is still mostly celebrated only as a symbol of the spirit of the knight who never breaks his promise.

But it is precisely this nobility and inviolability that makes the oath very little practical, and few high-ranking knights are willing to pay for everything they have.

"Uh...... It's a saint. Lin Qiu replied truthfully.

When he first met Gosya, the other party sneakily whispered in his ear: "Young man, do you want to close the distance between you and Alyssa, and want to win her heart?"

"Then complete this ritual!"

Seeing Lin Qiu's confused look, Alyssa couldn't help but sigh: "Do you know the original purpose of this ritual?"

She knew at a glance that Lord Gosya hadn't told Lin Qiu everything.

Due to the nature of the ceremony, it was often a promise made to one's closest person, so the knightly oath was the most common use among the nobility as a sacred word for marriage, to express the loyalty of the lover never to be violated.

So with the change of times, the knight's oath later took on another name.

"To put it simply, it's a wedding vow. ”

There's not the slightest hint of joking in Elisa's expression.

β€œ...... What?"

Give me death!

Bastard saint!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Qiu roared in the depths of his heart. (To be continued.) )
