52. The Knight's Finale
In summer, the moon is pale blue, and in the sky, it looks like a sapphire. But it is not dazzling, but gently exudes its own light.
At this time, on the edge of the lake in the center of a forest, a young man with a ** upper body was struggling to wield a huge knight's sword in his hand.
"One thousand three hundred and eighty-seven. ”
"One thousand three hundred and eighty-eight. ”
"One thousand three hundred and eighty-nine. ”
The boy kept wielding the heavy sword in his hand, but the speed was indeed getting slower and slower, even if he tried to maintain a constant speed, his physical strength was still gradually unable to support it. However, there was not the slightest will on the young man's face, and he was still as resolute as a piece of steel.
"I'm tired, if you keep practicing like this. "A voice came from nowhere.
"This is the only way to become a good knight!" Reynard replied, but it was Momo who lowered his heavy sword and moved his body in the direction of his usual sword.
"Two swords, do you usually practice double sword flow?"
Another voice came from nowhere, very close, but Renard still couldn't find out where the person who spoke was.
Seems to be underground?
"No, one is for spare, and the other is for your own use. Renard replied honestly.
"You're such an interesting person, why did you want to join the Holy See?"
"To be a knight!" Reynard replied loudly, "I want to be a knight!"
"Knight?" the voice said as if amused, "Holy See, what does it mean to be a knight?"
"The Holy See is the place with the most knights in the world, how can you say that the Holy See doesn't understand what a knight is?" said Renard angrily.
"Hahaha!" the voice continued, "It's not on a horse, it's a knight in armor." It's like walking on your feet with your feet on. ”
"If a knight isn't on a horse, then what is a knight?" asked Renard with a sneer.
"A knight is a person who has a spirit of chivalry, and only a person who has a spirit of chivalry is called a knight. The voice said solemnly: "The knight itself is not a simple human concept, but a concept that belongs to a spiritual will. ”
"A person who possesses the virtues of courage, perseverance, loyalty, love, justice, etc., is called a knight. It has nothing to do with that stupid horse!" the voice continued, but Renard seemed to have discovered where the sound was.
Renard jumped to his feet, turned around, and plunged his sword into the ground.
There were no screams, no screams, not even the touch of a sword inserting into a human body, and Renard was 100% sure that he had misheard the position, but why was no one under the ground behind him?
"It's dangerous, if I'm underground, I'm really dead. The strange voice sounded again, and Renard looked back to see a black-haired young man slowly emerging from his shadow.
"Hi, first meeting, I'm Easter. The boy said with a smile.
When Renard heard Easter's name, his face suddenly turned strange, and he asked, "Aren't you the one, a believer in the legendary New Gods, why are you waiting in the city in this place, if you are told to report?"
"First of all, I am not a believer, I am the main priest. Esther said, "Secondly, I came out with you." ”
Renard suddenly asked defensively, "What are you doing with me?"
"Because I want you to leave the Holy See of Light and become my subordinate!" Esther said calmly.
"What?" Renard sneered, "Are you crazy? let me leave the Holy Light Church and join your little church that is now unsure whether even gods really exist?"
Esther didn't refute, but looked at Renard and said, "It depends on whether you want to be a lackey of the gods or a real knight." ”
"What is a real knight?" asked Renard, "so hard that you would know?"
"I don't know, but I can tell you that a knight represents a spirit and a will. As for how to interpret the knight, it is your own work, I will just tell you the meaning of the knight, you are the knight itself. Esther said.
"Will?"
"That's right, a will of steel. Esther said, "Only those who have such a will are knights." Only the will is the essence of a true knight, the uninhibited and free soul that travels around for justice and freedom. ”
"So you're also a knight as you call it?" asked Renard suddenly.
"No, I don't have that strong will. Esther denied: "But even so, my will is above you!"
Renard didn't speak, but looked at the young man in front of him with wariness in his eyes.
"Speak with your sword, and prove it to me if your will is above mine!" said Renard, looking up suddenly.
Esther shrugged helplessly, and in the shadows on the ground, an iron sword suddenly emerged.
Renard looked back, and the iron sword he had placed behind him was gone.
"If you want to give it a try, use this sword to teach you what true knightly will is. Esther said, flicking his sword.
As soon as the picture turned, under the same moonlight, a knight in silver-white light armor, holding his knight's sword in his hand, looked at the young man in front of him who held himself up with the blade of the sword.
"Whether, there are still so-called knights. Just use your sword, let me see it, for my own will, a sword that is enough to split everything. Esther just stared at Renard and said, "Prove it to me if your so-called knight still exists." ”
"As you wish. ”
"Knight of the Holy Light/First Knight of the Shadows, here, dueling invited!" Renard roared.
Easter clenched the sword in his hand with both hands and took on a strange posture, as if he was about to swing the whole sword out.
"The world of knights has never been defined by that broken horse, it is only the will that determines all this!" said the black-clad Easter
"Whether knight or free will, this is never the problem, Renard!" said the white-clad Easter.
"If you want to become a true knight, you must first become a free soul!"
"The problem is that this world can no longer carry goodwill!"
"Shut up!"
A loud sound of gold and iron sounded, and a broken blade flew high, followed by a figure slowly kneeling.
The black-clothed Esther slowly plunged his long sword into the ground, looking at Reynard, who was holding the broken sword, behind him.
He knew that this was the beginning of the young knight's journey and the birth of the first knight in his life.
Easter, who was dressed in white, casually threw the broken sword in his hand away, and Renard's body still maintained a charging posture and stood not far behind him.
This is the last struggle of the last knight of the continent, looking at this world that does not belong to knights, even a sword cannot help him cut off his thoughts.
The black circle of light suddenly opened, and the well-dressed Renard stepped out of it, mounted his foal without saying a word, and then galloped away in the direction of the skyline.
Seeing their boss leave, the people of the Blood Clan mounted their horses and galloped towards the sky.
Anderson hurriedly picked up Esther on the ground, but he felt a hand of blood from his body.
"East!" Anderson tensed.
"It's fine. Anderson. East said, "The blade that has lost faith cannot kill me." ”
"Get out of here, Anderson, we need to speed up our trip. ”
