"The wild flowers all around / Soaked him with his blood / In a dying struggle / But he could not hold on long / For the sword of death could not save this / The brave and noble warrior has stopped speaking-"

The girl ends the movement with a long, faded note, and the sound of the piano stops abruptly, and after a brief silence, the sound of cheers and stomping overwhelms the castle.

The tumult died down for a while, and Nancy rose from her seat, bowed gracefully, and then turned to the black-robed warrior in the corner:

"How's it going, sir, are you satisfied?"

The other party still sat still, letting the hood cover his entire head, the steaming strong tea had turned into lukewarm water, as if nothing had happened, he took a sip of the tea in the cup, and once again let out a low and obscure voice:

"The song is a good song, but the lyrics are too obscure. ”

Nancy pursed her lips and showed a look of embarrassment: "My lord, "Sigfrey's Death" is a tragedy in itself, don't you want me to sing a tragedy into a comedy?"

Speaking of this, she scratched her hair, a sly look appeared on her white face, and said with a snicker: "Actually...... If you're willing to add money, I can get Sigfrey out of the grave. ”

The hall burst into laughter and laughter from the nobles of the highlands, who raised their glasses to the girl, praising her for her wit and wittyness.

The black-robed warrior responded with silence, and at the same time drank all the strong tea in the cup, and wiped his lips with a napkin: "No need, since the ending of the story has long been doomed, death is death." Forcibly crawling out of the grave is also meaningless. ”

After saying this. He stood up suddenly. Turn around and walk towards the entrance of the castle.

"Your Excellency, please wait!"

The girl threw the piano on the table next to her, and hurried past the onlookers of the rich and noble, hurrying to catch up with the strange figure who was about to leave.

The other man stopped, turned his back to her, and remained silent.

"If you want to change the ending of the story, you can come to me, your lordship from the south. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The black-robed warrior looked up suddenly. He laughed loudly, and even the lights on the four walls buzzed: "It seems that this trip is really not in vain, Miss Nancy, since you know so much, then go out with me." ”

Although he spoke in a tone of request, there was a sense of non-refusal in his words.

Nancy tilted her head, curled her lips slightly, rubbed her index finger on her temple and thought for a few seconds, then she looked up, smiled and snapped her fingers:

"No problem!"

The nobles of the Highlands were in an uproar. They can't believe that they have hooked up with a beautiful girl who has not succeeded for so long. It's really annoying that he will take the initiative to come out!

"Wait!"

"I just sang a song tonight. ”

"Miss Nancy, don't go with him, it's still snowing outside, it's dangerous!"

At the moment when these rich nobles stood up to stop them, the hall of the castle suddenly fell into darkness, and only a faint blue light shone on the window, which was the sky light reflected by the snow outside.

When the person in charge of the castle hurriedly entered the hall with an oil lamp cannon and inspected the lampposts on the four walls, he found that only the wick happened to go out, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time the castle was lit up again, Nancy and the mysterious black-robed warrior had long since disappeared, and the harp left on the table had disappeared in the darkness.

......

On the side walls of the mountains, the wind carried the blizzard, suddenly streaking through the evergreen trees around them, causing a strange whining sound. The girl wrapped her cloak around her body and followed the other party on the steep and long mountain path, and when she was about to cross the mountain, she suddenly stopped and showed a blank expression:

"Huh, why am I here?"

“......”

The black-robed warrior in front of him suddenly stopped, and his voice became colder than the wind and snow:

"Miss Nancy, are you trying to trick me?"

"No, no, no! ”

The girl hurriedly waved her hand vigorously, with a surprised expression on her face, and then bowed deeply:

"Actually...... I suffer from severe schizophrenia, and sometimes the para-personality often runs out to say nonsense, please don't mind. ”

"It turns out that schizophrenia can still make people know so many things that they shouldn't know. Aree pulled off his hood, his pupils flashing with a sharp cold light in the darkness.

"Nancy, there's no need to hide it from your lordship. ”

With this ethereal voice, the shadow behind the girl suddenly shifted a few steps to the right, and the surface flashed blue sparkling ripples, and after a few breaths, it suddenly broke away from the snow and stood upright in space.

"I'm Kasha. ”

The voice like a silver bell sounded again, and the completely flat light and shadow opened a pair of eyes, and said calmly and quietly: "Kasha, the god of spring water and prophecy." ”

"It's not that I haven't seen a living true god, but a god to your level...... It's the first time. The black-haired knight looked her up and down, and his spiritual vision easily saw through the weakness of the other party, and asked quietly:

"You're so weak that you don't even have a divine body, right?"

"The Arcane Council's strangulation of the gods of the Western Continent has never stopped, and our situation has become even more difficult after forming an alliance with the Papal State. ”

The sound of light and shadow did not fluctuate at all, like ice particles in the wind and snow, subtle and weak: "As you can see, I rely entirely on this child to survive. ”

"It turned out to be a stowaway from the Freedom Alliance...... The enemy of the enemy is also a friend. ”

Yalei's expression softened, and the blade-like killing intent in his eyes immediately faded, but there was still a mocking tone in his mouth:

"Although the Alliance of Order and the Alliance of Freedom are hostile to each other, they have the same attitude towards the belief in God, and Atlasu does not need the enslavement of the gods, and you will all die sooner or later. ”

"Kasha is different. Nancy suddenly looked at the light and shadow, and said firmly: "She has no intention of enslaving humans!

"Maybe she doesn't mean that now. ”

The black-haired knight ignored the girl, his eyes still fixed on the weak god: "So, that's what you said." Please explain. ”

"I feel a faint divine power in you...... It was an ancient, yet healthy god. My prophetic powers tell me. You're getting along well. ”

The light and shadow gently penetrated Nancy's body, and a pair of swollen eyes contained a gentle, resolute and awe-inspiring expression: "I want to live, and look forward to the day when I break out of the cocoon and be reborn, you can help me, and I can help you." ”

"So you sang Sigfri's Death in front of me...... He is the god of springs and prophecies. Yalei nodded understandingly, and said with a twisted brow:

"Why should I believe you? ”

"I prophesied about my troubles, I foretold my chance to be saved, and I prophesied that you would be there. That's why I'm singing with Nancy in that disgusting place, all to wait for you. The weakened god replied.

“......”

After being silent for a long time, the black-haired knight asked softly:

"Is there any way you can solve my trouble?"

I can't tell you for the time being, unless, you promise to help me and my friends. The ripples of light and shadow gradually intensified, as if to show the inner turmoil of the gods at this moment.

"I promise you. ”

"You must get a piece of golden armor, only ......"

"Wait a minute!"

Before the god could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a nervous Nancy, who tried to cover Kasha's mouth with both hands. At the same time, he said eagerly:

"You just believe in him, if this guy is a backsliding, my trip will be over. You're dead, too. ”

"I know my situation very well, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Light and shadow let her hands penetrate her body, and said calmly and gently:

"Only by wearing that golden armor can you get a glimmer of life, and I don't know exactly how to get it, but the point is that you must find a scholar who is proficient in the Palean language and let him observe your scepter. ”

"Scepters? I don't have anything like that. ”

As soon as Ya Lei said this, he suddenly remembered the golden gun that he had beaten into the cold palace, if he insisted on talking about the scepter, only that thing could barely be counted.

"You have, don't you?" the weak god's eyes bent into crescents.

"Paleid, what language is that?"

The black-haired knight had no such language in his impression, and it seemed that he had read too little, and he didn't know much about the indigenous gods of the Western Continent.

"The land of the Far East after the disappearance of the land of Seris, the oldest language. ”

"Sure enough......"

Knowing that this was not much easier than ascending to the sky, Yalei shook his head and said:

"Not to mention whether I have time to go to the Far East, and even if I do, I may not be able to find that kind of scholar, in that case, how can I believe that you are not lying to me?"

"Scholars don't have to look for humans. The light and shadow flickered, and he whispered:

"Goblins have a life that is a hundred times longer than that of humans, and with your wealth and power, it is definitely not hopeless to find a goblin who is proficient in the language of Pared. ”

"I have to admit that you managed to convince me. The black-haired knight paused, and continued, "Even if the deal is confirmed, what kind of help do you need?"

"My original identity was a spring fairy, and I became a god because I accepted my faith, and now, I am unable and do not want to continue to bear my priesthood, and my prophecy about you will be my last.

As Light and Shadow spoke, they trembled violently, and said in a slightly excited tone:

"I want to give up my priesthood and return to my true self, so I need a spring for shelter and a legal canonization. ”

The whole world knows that being a goblin in Roussevian is more comfortable than being a goddess in the Iberian Federation. Moreover, the spring water goblin itself is a very high-level goblin, and he only needs to find a great lord to worship the mountain, accept the restraint and protection of the golden edict, and live a carefree and happy life from then on.

"What is your relationship with the fairy of the lake?" asked Are, with a dark face.

"Let's be a close relative...... Any questions?"

"No...... Nothing, I promised you. ”

After promising to give the other party a bay of spring water, the black-haired knight attached another condition: "You and your friends must help me find a scholar who is proficient in the Palean language." ”

......

On the way back to Southern Celtic with two stowaways, Yareh is impressed by the girl named Nancy. Because the other party actually has a weak natural calamity-level fighting spirit.

Can be forcibly promoted to a weak Scourge warrior in the mage circle (no war paint.) Not a true Scourge warrior). Talent and perseverance are definitely not ordinary, worthy of being friends with the goddess.

Although smuggling into the Alliance of Order during the Cold War was tantamount to tacit treason, due to her birth, Nancy was still unable to gain the trust of the Empire, so she could not continue to go further on the traditional knightly path.

After accidentally hearing the aether theory revealed by the black-haired knight intentionally or unintentionally, the girl seems to have found the direction of her life and wants to worship him as a teacher.

Naturally, Yalei was willing. However, you have to observe it for a while, and if the other party can really integrate into Rosevia, then this student will definitely accept it.

Back at the Earl's Court, Charlene learned that he had gone to the Highland Kingdom and brought back a beautiful young lady, of course, there was a burst of jealousy.

But it doesn't matter, for this kind of purely coquettish behavior, under the suppression of strict family law, she quickly quieted down.

......

"This is the prototype of the stabbing cannon built by the military factory, you see. ”

The green-haired girl was holding a cannon taller than her. He limped to the black-haired knight and stood aside with a look of grievance. From time to time, I covered my buttocks and sobbed.

“......”

Ya Lei was accustomed to the other party's various acts of pretending to be pitiful after bearing the family law, so he was ruthless, took the cannon barrel expressionlessly, and observed it carefully.

After several modifications, the cannon was completely different from what he had originally envisioned, and was transformed into a shape close to that of a knight's spear.

In order to facilitate the aiming and shooting of low-level soldiers, a wooden cannon tow was added under the rapid-fire cannon, so that they could fully adjust the angle of the cannon with one hand and infuse fighting energy with the other.

In order to increase the attack power of white-knuckle combat, the rear of the cannon drag is linked to the handle of the gun, and there is a gauntlet on each side of the handle, which allows the soldier to raise the gun and charge without any scruples.

At the top of the cannon tow is an embedded bayonet, which can be disassembled at any time, and when removed, it is a rapid-fire gun, which can be used as a long spear.

After this modification, the rapid-fire cannon reached a length of six feet, and if a bayonet was installed, it would be an eight-foot near-range mass killer.

Despite the increased weight and length, the new recruits found the new stabbed cannon more comfortable to use, as the weapon was previously exclusively for the Scourge Knights, and the recoil and firing style were naturally unbearable.

After this series of optimizations and improvements, the way of use is undoubtedly much more user-friendly.

Holding up the spur cannon that looked like a bald knight's gun, the black-haired knight couldn't help but look at it carefully, and then stabbed a few times in the space, and couldn't help but praise:

"Beautiful!"

"Then let's take a name, a stab or something, it's too ugly. Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was ineffective, Charlene quickly changed to another expression and began to behave.

"That makes sense...... It's called ......"

Holding the handle of his gun in one hand and grasping the cannon-drag in the other, Yalei aimed the muzzle of the gun at the sky with the crosshairs, noticing a pot-bellied albatross flying past the blue sky.

Charging and shooting in one go, the black pillar of light instantly blasted into the sky, burning all the feathers of the fat bird's tail, leaving only the bare buttocks.

The black-haired knight watched the bare-bottomed albatross scream and fly away, then propped the cannon barrel on the floor and said happily:

"Cannon!"

"So, this weapon is ready for mass production right now?" the green-haired girl looked at him with a wink.

"Produce twenty first, find a few fighters and try it out, and see if there are any details that can be improved. Yalei put the prototype of the gun on the weapon rack, touched his chin and said:

"Tonight, it's time to start training at night. ”

......

Nightmare Ruins, late at night.

Ding Ding!

A piercing bell pierced the long night, and the sleeping New Army soldiers in the barracks suddenly woke up from their sleep, began to dress and carry their bags with cold sweat, and then quickly pulled out rapid-fire guns from the bed, and ran in a long line to the center of the camp.

"The first team is all here!"

"The second squad is all here!"

"The third squad is all here!"

With the sound of the command, Ilan and Quincy erected the speed firing cannon with one hand, lined up in the first row of the five horizontal columns, looking at the white snow, and their minds were blank.

"The first platoon of soldiers marched forward in unison, and no one was allowed to retreat without my orders. ”

After hearing this order, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, thinking that it was something, but it turned out that they were just walking in unison, and this was not a piece of cake.

A long line of 1,000 people marched at the same time, and began to move forward in an orderly manner, like a city wall walking upright, slowly advancing in the face of wind and snow, and the morale was high.

After about ten minutes, they officially entered the core area of the Nightmare Ruins, and everyone noticed that the scenery ahead seemed to be a little wrong, and many strange shadows flickered in the distance, and they didn't know what the hell it was.

By the faint light of the sky, the ruins and ruins of the surrounding walls rustled as soon as the breeze blew, and the bleak moonlight mixed with the snow flocculated to faintly reflect the surrounding ruined buildings.

Ilan looked at the snow that was slowly shrouded in darkness, and he always felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and the breathing of his companions around him became thicker and thicker.

Soon, he found that he could no longer see his surroundings, only the dense shadows of teeth and claws in the darkness ahead were getting closer, sharpening their knives and making a piercing laugh, as if looking at the approaching pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

The boys, who had never seen such a scene at all, began to feel cold, and the biting cold pierced them like ice.

At this moment, the soldiers miss the instructor's rude command, even if it is one, you are roaring.

Unfortunately, the night sky was still extremely silent, and he could clearly hear the sound of stepping on a snowy mountain when he walked, and Ilan felt as if there was a cold and slippery hand in the darkness, caressing his face. (To be continued.) )
