Chapter 3: The Night of Rebirth
The companions were colorless and did not dare to really rush into the field to take revenge. The Champion Knight of the Pen Fun www.biquge.info Pavilion spat contemptuously and sarcastically said, "Waste is waste, get out of here! Miko Maiden doesn't need anything like you to be his warrior, even the dead boy is more useful than you." ”
At night, at the princess's request, Virgy agreed to use a small scheme against the poor. He crept up on the grotto, threw a small note inside, and hit a middle-aged man in the head at the entrance of the cave.
The man picked up the paper ball, unfolded it, and saw that there was such a sentence written on the paper-
"Staying here is just a matter of abuse, and they have no intention of recruiting us as soldiers. The old days were poor, but at least they were better than dying. If you want to escape, we will be waiting for you tonight under the big tree on the west side of the clearing. Sign the slip of paper with your name and pass it on to the person closest to you. ”
The man then saw a dozen names signed on the note, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Do you want to denounce those who want to escape, or do you want to be one of them? The man fidgeted, sweated profusely, and after thinking for a long time, decided to silently throw the note at his sleeping companion next to him.
His idea was that if he took the note and went to the informant, he might be killed by a dozen people who signed the hole as soon as he got out of the hole. What if he succeeded? Will the vicious champion knight be able to reward himself? Of course not, maybe he will be beaten up as a vile villain. Even if he didn't get beaten, would he have a future if he stayed and continued his training? He was already weak and tortured to death by the horrific training, and it was only a matter of time.
On the contrary, the man felt that the views on the note were deeply in line with his heart. But he didn't dare to sign his name after all, and just threw the note to his companion.
In the second half of the night, almost all the poor people who should have been sleeping woke up and whispered in a nervous atmosphere.
"Do you think it's better than Shem?"
"There's no future going to be left here!, that champion knight, apparently just teasing us. ”
"It's raining heavily, so it's best to run away now. ”
The poor people left the rock wall at night and gathered under the trees to the west, preparing to flee with mysterious expressions. Unexpectedly, the last person left at the end of the line looked back and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the heavy rain stopped, and a beam of bright moonlight fell on the training ground, shining on the place where the young man died. A young man stood in the moonlight with a leisurely bone flute, his dark blue robe and ornate Mithril accessories, which looked like he was draped over a starry sky from a distance.
He looked up, and the moonlight fell on his childish face, taking on a pearlescent sheen. Scratched by a hood embroidered with gold thread with star stripes, the boy's orange hair rose in the wind. Then he smiled innocently, looked at the fleeing Moon Elves, and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, it's me back." ”
The paupers wiped their eyes for a long time before they realized that he was the boy who had died in the daytime at the back of the sword of the champion knight. In their minds, the boy's hair should be the color of earth, but now that they think about it, it must be just a long-term poverty on his beautiful orange-red hair, covered with earth-colored dirt.
"Joan, is that you?"
"Of course it's me. The young man squinted his eyes, his smile became more and more kind, and with his arms outstretched, countless fireflies rose from his side, "Uncle Jim, Brother Remy, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"
The uncle replied in a trembling voice, "Of course it will be strange! Joan, don't you remember...... You're dead this morning!"
The young man looked at the white and flawless skin on his hands, and smiled, "But now I am still alive, and compared to the poor boy before, I have now become a more noble and great being. ”
The corners of the young man's mouth were raised, and a bright light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes: "Now I have been recognized by the black-clothed witch, and I have regained my life by the miracle she caused, and not only came back from the dead, but also became one of the seven apostles under her seat. ”
Under everyone's stunned gaze, the boy raised his arms high, and the brightness of the moonlight seemed to double. In the empty field, misty music sounded, like the hymns of the gods.
The princess was also very surprised to see this, and looked at Virgi and said, "What is the matter?"
"Could it be that it is a false image left by the light stain crystal, is it the officers who have deceived these people?"
At this time, the champion knight rode a heavily armored war horse, and the horse's eyes were red, and it spewed scorching steam in the moonlight.
The champion knight looked fierce, and the wolf's tooth blade landed on his shoulder and sparked a spark, and then said to the fleeing paupers: "Although killing you will only stain my precious blade, I originally disdained to kill you waste, but the military order is as big as the sky, since you dare to flee, I will cut off your dog's head." ”
The boy turned to look at the champion knight: "Stop, General Kano!"
"Stinky boy, how dare you speak to me in such a tone?"
"You and one of the seven apostles of my colleague Witch Lord. "I'm not commanding you, but I hope you'll be able to leave a way for these frightened people to live in my presence." ”
"And what if I don't?" said the Champion Knight, his teeth intertwined.
"Then I'll have to barely stop you. The young man did not give an inch, and said resolutely.
The flaming whip of the champion knight whipped on the horse's back, and the horse roared and slammed into an unstoppable force like a volcanic eruption. And the champion knight flat-ended broadsword, the blade dragged a long dark red tail flame, with the power to cut through the mountain, and slashed towards the young man's body.
The young man's robe hunted and agitated, and a dark blue spherical force field spread outward with him as the center, as if even the light was still in the force field, and the surrounding area fell silent.
The wolf's tooth blade slashed towards the force field at an extremely fast speed, but the moment it touched the force field interface, it suddenly lost its speed and stopped in place as if it were solidified, unable to advance for another half a minute. Even the fire on the wolf's tooth blade was still in the force field, not disappearing or beating, just maintaining its shape and standing still, as if it had been sealed in amber.
The champion knight's muscles burst out: "You kid dare to be a demon!"
"Stop. This is the power that the black witch has given me, and it is an inviolable power called 'inertia'. ”
The princess looked at the sparks and moonlight shining in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Putting aside whether a grumpy guy like the Champion Knight has this kind of Yaxing, he reins in his horse so hard that the iron hooves of the war horse crush the ground and dig deep grooves, but he still can't advance half a point, which is enough to prove that he is fighting against strong resistance, which cannot be faked.
Yuri's expression was solemn: "Did that kid really get the power of miracles?"
Virgy also desperately thought about what he had seen and heard in the past, but found that he had indeed never seen the same trick, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who is the black witch sacred?"
The scene was deadlocked for several minutes, the champion knight could not move forward half a step, and the boy had no intention of launching a counterattack.
Eventually, the horse roared and fell to the ground. The champion knight let go of the broadsword, which remained in the air with flames, and it was not until the boy put his hands together and retracted his position that the broadsword fell to the ground, awakening the jackdaws in the surrounding woods.
"The power of an apostle cannot harm another apostle. The boy said calmly, "Even if the champion knight wants to fight again, I will continue to intercede for my companions." ”
The champion knight bared his teeth very unhappily and replied, "That's it, I was too bad to kill these wastes, and I had to waste time cleaning the broadsword." You can do whatever you like with these useless guys. ”
The young man turned his head and looked at everyone gently: "If you want to return to your ruined homeland, I will not stop you. But from the bottom of my heart, I hope that you will stay and give everything you have for the Black Witch with a more devout faith. One day, you will see miracles befall your own lives, as I did. ”
The slums, who had almost been moved by Virgil's words and wanted to escape from the grotto and return to the woodland, suddenly burned dozens of times more fanatical, and rushed towards the boy with a strange cry of gratitude. If the previous champion knight only brought them terror and coercion, and could not prove that the black witch had a gentle and benevolent side to the devout believers, then the boy used his own living example to tell everyone that even if he did not have great power, even if he was originally just a waste in the mouth of the champion knight, as long as he gave his life to the black witch, he could still hold the key to the land of light in the palm of his hand.
Yuri sadly said that in the end, we were no match for the demagogic power of the Dark Witch.
Virgie shook his head slowly, is it demagogy? The black witch does provide real benefits to devout believers. If this is a demagoguery, then what is Faruna, the god of light you swore to serve all your life?
Yuri didn't say anything.
The princess's mind was unusually clear, she wiped away the cold rain on her face, and said with a solemn look in her eyes: "Then the problem is, since the black-clothed witch is an all-powerful miracle maker, she can create an apostle with extraordinary abilities like the champion knight and the boy with her hand, and with this power, you can create a few more apostles, and you can raze the forest of golden light......"
She exhaled a puff of white mist and said word by word, "Then what do you want these poor people to do without a bright spot?"
Yuri and Virgy stared at each other dumbfounded, unable to answer.
"And that's what I care about the most. ”
