Highland Palace, underground palace.

In the depths of the darkness, the cold ice reflected a faint fluorescence, casting a face on Yare's ever-changing expression, as if he had fallen from a climbing cliff, deep in a terrifying nightmare, but never woke up.

The ice continued to dissolve as time passed, and a curtain of water gradually accumulated on the smooth floor, thickening little by little, and the black-haired knight's mirror in the water became clear.

Beneath the surface of the water, Yalei's mirror suddenly opened his eyes, and then, a pair of red eyes burning with liquid flames lit up the space, and the surface of the water instantly burst into hot bubbles.

In an instant, the black-haired knight's body soared into the air, dragged off the ground by an invisible force, and countless cracks of magma flowed appeared on the surface of his body, with a hot and vast aura, stepping heavily on the surface of the water like a meteorite.

Bang!

The hot spherical blast swept the water into the air, forming an incandescent mist that rumbled around the dungeon.

In the tumbling wave of qi, Yalei raised his head suddenly, the bones of his whole body exploded like a cannon, his arms grabbed to the sides of his body, and the muscles and muscles also clumped, twisting knots like giant pythons.

The red eyes stared at the sky, the liquid flames in the eyes quickly overflowed the sockets, and after a short silence, a loud roar burst out of his throat that shocked the heavens and the earth:

"Kill !!!!"

Countless overlapping and vague roars tore apart the originally quiet dungeon, and waves of flame qi surged out from his body, spreading like a huge ring of fire, evaporating the ice in the dungeon to annihilation in an instant.

Bursts of crimson flames swept through the space. After the dungeon was in shambles, the magma-like cracks on the black-haired knight's body gradually faded and calmed down, and his red eyes were also covered in black. Clarity was restored.

"Shhhh

Ya Lei stumbled like a force, his center of gravity swirled with his mind, his body swayed violently a few times, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

“......”

The black-haired knight's eyes widened, and he stretched out a slightly trembling hand to touch his intact face, the moment his fingers touched the warm skin. His pupils shrunk to the size of a pintip:

"Am I alright?"

After a long silence, the memories of being blocked by the "Lord of Fear" came flooding back one by one, and Yalei was stunned at first. Then he became excited, and by the end he was completely ecstatic, and he laughed nervously:

"Fake, it turns out to be fake!"

Whoosh!

The right hand suddenly opened its five fingers. An incomparably sharp wheel of dark red light hovered in his palm. As his will continues to change in size and size.

"My power ......"

The black-haired knight manipulated the light wheel as he pleased, his expression gradually regained his calmness, and soon became extremely serious, and he pinched the dark red light wheel in his hand back into a particle form.

"It can actually close my function of distinguishing the real from the fake, and let me completely sink into a nightmare dream, such an ability...... It's just another super-enhanced version of 'me'. And he's still lurking in the depths of my soul, ready to fight back at any moment...... It's horrible......"

Yalei has overcome the sequelae of the battlefield and awakened the source of fear. For the first time, I felt a real sense of fear, a tremor that came from the soul in the face of force majeure.

Although by self-persistence. Narrowly and dangerously, he survived this catastrophe, but he didn't know if he would be able to survive the next mystery. Is that kind of self-discernment ability to close yourself and face the terrible illusion in your heart the true power of the "King of Fear"?

The black-haired knight recalled the scenes in the illusion, and an inexplicable chill rose in his heart, people can deceive anyone, but they can never deceive themselves.

His weakness, in front of his strongest self, has no possibility of hiding at all.

......

"Ahh

Charlene covered her mouth and nose, sneezed very unladylikely, and observed left and right in a trance, and rows of new troops stationed in the palace raised their weapons one after another, bowing their heads with solemn expressions.

It's a shame.

The green-haired girl looked away with a flushed face, and then touched her inexplicably beating heart, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly had a sense of gain and loss, as if some kind of crisis was imminent, as if she was about to lose something important.

As the top Knight of Origin, Charlene will not ignore any of the startling sense of crisis, these seemingly whim-like feelings are often a warning from the sixth sense, prompting herself to be prepared as necessary.

But the warrior's senses are not prophetics, and although the general direction is accurate, it is difficult to determine the details.

There are too many things that are looming recently, the black goat mother goddess, cultists, assassination team, which aspect of the crisis is it, which makes it difficult for the green-haired girl to distinguish.

Never mind...... Just ask Yalei, he always has a way anyway.

Charlene gave up thinking heartlessly, grabbed the map of the heights in her hand, quickened her pace, and walked into the dormitory where she lived temporarily.

As soon as she stepped into the outer hall of the palace, the green-haired girl saw the black-haired knight sitting in front of the foyer, his face as if covered by an invisible shadow, staring at her with a very strange look......

"What's wrong? What's wrong with me?" Xia Linping raised her arms and looked at herself in a hurry.

"No, it's not you who has the problem, it's me. ”

Yalei looked at the familiar green-haired girl, his heart slowly warmed up, and he raised his arm a little stiffly and beckoned to her:

"Come here, come to me?"

"What's wrong? Your eyes are so strange......"

Charlene looked at him with some hesitation, then shook her head, swept away the inexplicable panic in her mind, and quickly threw herself into her lover's arms: "What happened?

“......”

The black-haired knight silently stretched out his hand, caressed the delicate side face of the green-haired girl, his gaze froze and scattered, and sighed softly:

"Charlene, I'm probably going crazy. ”

"What?"

Charlene looked up as if she had been stepped on by her tail, her eyes staring straight at him. Looking at the other party's somewhat unfamiliar expression, coupled with the recent sense of crisis that has been restless, I suddenly realized:

"Is there something wrong with your apotheosis?"

"Yes. He's powerful beyond imagination. ”

Instead of telling her what happened in the illusion, Jarley only described the crisis brought about by the "Lord of Fear":

"This time, I almost didn't make it back, and I don't know if I'll survive the third erosion. So, you have to be ready to face a me who could go crazy at any time. ”

"What can I do!?"

The green-haired girl clenched his shirt tightly, her bright eyes covered with a layer of mist. Regardless of the scream: "You are so strong, how can you not defeat the deification, don't think about something impossible!"

"I know...... I know ......"

The black-haired knight bowed his head. Expertly patting her back, his eyes gradually softened:

"I will do my best, but the risk will not be transferred by the will of the individual, and the face must always be faced. Except for myself. You are the one who knows me best. So, before something irreparable happens...... You know what to do. ”

"I just don't know! I just don't know!"

Charlene buried her head in her lover's chest with a crying voice and covered her ears hard, like a big cat constantly tearing at his clothes.

"My Charlene ......"

Yalei's eyes gradually became confused, hugged her head, and stroked it gently: "Don't cry, okay, if you cry, my heart will be messed up." ”

"Woooooo

The green-haired girl cried even louder. And scratched his chest with his fingers, and suddenly raised his head. looked at each other with red circles in his eyes, sobbed and said:

"That being the case. Wouldn't it be nice to give up apotheosis?"

"To give up deification is to give up the path of the end, and for me, it is better to die. The black-haired knight's eyes regained his composure, looked into her eyes, and asked softly:

"If you were the one sitting here right now, tell me, would you give up?"

“......”

Charlene pursed her lips silently, big tears rolled down from her eyes, but the sobbing became quieter and quieter, and finally choked up and asked:

"What should I do?"

"I can't help you figure it out, because he'll know it too. Yalei took a deep breath, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just the last insurance, tell me about your recent work, what have you discovered?"

"I hate it to death, how can I be in the mood to tell you these things now. ”

The green-haired girl wiped her tears and looked at him angrily, then threw the map of the highlands between her arms: "I have surveyed all the temples and churches in the vicinity, and I have found no cultists, and I am preparing to radiate the search area around. ”

"That's it. ”

The black-haired knight spread out the map, went through it carefully, and then placed it on the coffee table beside him:

"In the face of cultists who can be transferred at any time, there is no point in searching point by point, and you can only search in an all-out way like wildfire, but this will distract your strength. ”

"So, what do I do next?"

Charlene turned her back to him, wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and asked in frustration.

"You didn't bring the Sound Nest's guards with you this time, did you?" Yalei sat up straight, his right index finger tapping the armrest unconsciously, and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Yes, some of them are on security missions, and it will take a little time to get them back. ”

"Then get them together as soon as possible, and I'll send a team of instructors over to help you coordinate the training...... This is an unexpected new force, and the future is likely to be the last weight on the scale. ”

"Good ......"

The green-haired girl, who was devastated in spirit, nodded, with a hint of haggard on her pretty face, and turned around sickly and prepared to leave:

"Then I'll prepare. ”

"Wait. ”

The black-haired knight got up and grabbed Charlene's arm, took her wrist and walked into the bedroom, then slammed the carved composite door shut.

"What is this?"

The green-haired girl walked to the edge of the bed, looked at the red gauze skirt placed on the side of the bed, and turned around and asked with an unknown expression.

"Put it on. ”

Jarley unbuttoned the top of his shirt, walked to the shoe rack by the door, and then picked up a red fish-lip heel and threw it in front of Charlene:

"And this. ”

......

Squeak!

A jet of water erupted from the bottle-shaped outlet, and the green-haired girl stood under the steaming water, closing her eyes and letting the hot water clean her white and smooth body.

“......”

After the water wet her hair, Charlene raised her right hand and noticed the bruises on her snow-white arms, revealing a hint of flushed resentment on her pretty face.

An endless afternoon of tossing and turning...... It's crazy......

Forced myself to wear that kind of clothes, and I had to wear smoky makeup...... And then crazy like a beast...... When did his tastes become so strange?

Could it be ...... Is this also the effect of the apotheosis state on him?

Charlene thought in a daze, and at the same time brushed her hair with her hands, her arm inadvertently rubbed her chest, and a strong tingling sensation like a click suddenly spread throughout her body.

"Whew!"

The green-haired girl clutched her chest like lightning, gasping for breath, her pretty face flushed and almost dripped blood

It's all his fault, it's too messy, and he was almost demolished......

Charlene covered the **** with a blurred look, her breath became hotter and hotter with the ups and downs of her chest, and she rinsed under warm water for about ten minutes before she gradually regained consciousness, then closed the water valve, changed into new clothes and left the dormitory.

As soon as she stepped out of the dormitory, she bumped into Pompey, who looked hurried.

"Miss Charlene...... I have something to ask you. ”

The old man noticed the bruises on the green-haired girl's wrists, and a solemn look appeared on his face, and he said in a tone that could not be refused:

"This matter is very important for the fate of the Doge's Palace. ”

"Good...... Good. ”

Xia Lin Xiafei pulled down the sleeves of her cheeks to cover the embarrassing bruises, and turned sideways to get out of the way:

"Come in and talk. ”

"Well, excuse me. ”

Pompey nodded, and followed the green-haired girl into the foyer.

"You may be seated. ”

The green-haired girl gracefully cocked her calves, sat on the seat of Yalei in front of her, and politely stretched out her palm to signal the other party to sit down.

"Miss Charlene, I beg your pardon. ”

Pompey touched his chest with one hand, shook off the corners of his clothes, leaned back on the chair, and couldn't wait to ask: "Is there something wrong with the mental state of His Excellency the Governor recently?"

"Why do you say that?" Charlene raised her eyebrows, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and pretended to stare at the other party calmly.

"Just before you returned, Miss Charlene, I felt a devastating wave of power coming from underground, unimaginably large. Looking at the entire Highland Kingdom, I can't think of a second 'man' other than His Excellency the Governor. ”

"How can there be such a thing...... the green-haired girl lowered her head and tightened her eyebrows worriedly.

"Isn't it...... What went wrong with His Excellency the Governor's apotheosis?"

Pompey observed Charlene's expression, and the moment she looked up at herself, Pompey added, "I don't mean anything other than to get to the bottom of the matter, and besides, I may have a way to help His Excellency the Doge." ”

“......”

The green-haired girl looked at the old man in front of her who had a mysterious origin, but had always been highly valued by her lover, and was silent for a long time, and said softly:

"If I answer, yes, then is there anything you can do to help him?" (To be continued.) )
