Yuri's destination is not a border fortress. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rather, it is the "City of Rose Crosses" Cross Rousha, which has penetrated more than 100 kilometers from the border fortress into the territory of the Golden Dawn Forest.

The princess stood on the city wall in shock, looking westward, and felt her blood turn cold when she saw the devastated earth and mountains.

"In just a few days since Yuri and I traveled to Muntia, have we lost more than a hundred kilometers of territory?"

The general of the military god wore a bandage to treat broken bones, and half-knelt sadly: "I'm sorry, my subordinates failed to stop the advance of the Moon Elf army. ”

"Even the generals of the military gods ...... Can't it be done?" the princess repeated dumbfoundedly, "even with the assistance of Virgil, the Reaper's military master, is this still the case?"

The Guards General was also scarred and replied, "Flora, the Moon Elf army has mixed a large number of inhuman things, not only the pretenders who can't be killed and turn into big monsters before, but also more terrible monsters. And even if these war demon soldiers die, there is a necromancer who can drive the ghosts and bones to launch another wave of attacks. If it weren't for Virgie's efforts, perhaps even the City of Rose Cross would not have been able to hold on. ”

Yuri looked at Virgy with concern, and found that although he was in the rear, it seemed that what had happened to him was no easier than what he had experienced in the four layers of the abyss underground, and his already thin face was even thinner and bloodless.

"Are you alright, Virgie. ”

"It's fine. Virgie gently nudged the shattered monocle, "In your absence, I also dealt with an apostle of original sin on my own. It can be seen that you don't have to be the original sin buster to be able to deal with them. ”

General Steelwing's entire left hand has been replaced with a magic crystal power steel prosthetic hand, although the princess and General Steelwing are only new acquaintances, but this protector has only defended the princess unconditionally many times after meeting for the first time, and the princess still feels sincerely sad to see him lose his left hand.

General Steelwing heartily patted the princess's hair with his iron hand, the slightly sluggish mechanical joints creaked, and he said nonchalantly, "Why do you have such an expression? Don't you think this hand is handsome? It's just that the left hand can be used to block the knife, but the right hand can't, and it really gives me a headache to get used to this distinction." ”

The princess squinted her eyes and smiled softly, unable to bear to let the protector continue to bother to comfort herself.

General Steelwing said, "But we also have exciting news. The Wargod General and His Highness Audira have negotiated with the Knights of Light, and as long as the Golden Dawn Forest opens up the mission rights outside the Imperial Capital, the Knights will officially intervene in the war. As long as they help, it will be much more advantageous to deal with inhuman things. ”

After hearing this, the princess's face suddenly changed, her eyebrows raised and she shook her long hair, and said, "Where are the people of the Knights of Light?"

"In ...... The western tower of the Stronghold. ”

"I need to meet them!"

The princess got up with all her might, knocked the glass to the ground without noticing, slammed the doorknob in her hand, looked furious, and strode towards the western tower with her fists raised.

Virgi asked Yuri puzzled, "Flora, what's wrong?"

"Come along, too. Yuri's sword eyebrows also gathered with anger, and he replied unhappily.

A few minutes later, the princess forcefully opened the iron door of the tower, looked at the knights of light who were preparing their weapons in the barracks, and without saying a word, bypassed the stacked swords and stacks of armor, glanced around, and then asked loudly, "What about your chief, who is in charge here?"

Akured and Miss Louis stood up, smiled kindly, and said, "Just look for me if there's anything to do." ”

The princess's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, she snorted, and kicked the shield at her feet with her waist in her hand: "Where is the Divine Knight?"

Akured still said with a good temper: "The chief went to the headquarters of the Order to transfer reinforcements, the details of the negotiations have been finalized, the Knights of Light represent justice and benevolence, and the conditions for going to war are only to open the missionary rights, and there is no need for financial compensation and other conditions." ”

The princess had tears in her eyes, her face flushed, and she slammed her little fist on the table: "Listen, don't even think about missionary rights or anything! I will not allow hypocrites to spread false doctrines in our territory!"

Louis stomped on his heels in displeasure: "Hey, that's not what your representative General said when he was negotiating." As long as we have the right to preach, we don't have the right to preach out, the leased land, the gold and the mythril, and the special conditions for trade, and we don't want to give anything, does the Order of Light owe you elves?"

The princess replied loudly, "That's right! All this is what you owe to the elves! If you want to atone for your sins, take your own initiative to take up your sword and go into battle to fight the darkness that you buried here earlier! If you don't want to, get out of the Golden Dawn Forest at once! Only you are not welcome in this land!"

Akured was at a loss, because of the previous negotiations, the general of the god of war mentioned that if he could win the Knight of Light as reinforcements, the sun elves could negotiate with some of the conditions offered by the Order, which in itself was Princess Flora's meaning. But why did the princess suddenly change her mind and negate everything that had been agreed upon with the attitude of asking the teacher?

He had no choice but to persuade softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, agreeing to this condition and letting the knights and the elves fight together will only bring many benefits to the elves, and it is worth considering." ”

"No matter how good it can be, as long as it is given by the hand of your God, we don't want it all!"

The princess pointed to the open gate: "Get out of here, I don't want to give this tower to you as a city wall!"

Akured froze and blinked, and the knights saw that the elven princess was so bad, so they all stood up and gathered around.

"Hey, although you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, the noble name of the Order is not something that you can slander casually!

The knights' hands reached out to the princess, only to be slapped away by Yuri.

"Light and justice are not meant to be written down in a book, recited a hundred times a day, and then said to people casually!"

"Damn, you kid......"

The knight wanted to reach out and fight, but when he saw Yuri's raised sword eyebrows and the tense muscles of his arms, he couldn't help but wilt.

Miss Louis stood up and said unhappily, "Ulysses, as an apostate, have you really begun to tarnish the image of the Order?"

Yuri replied in a rude voice, "You don't need me to smash your signboard at all! There is nothing in the world that can ruin the reputation of oneself more than the lies you have told." ”

The princess snorted and said, "Yuri, Virgi, don't mess with these people, let's go!"

That night, when Virgy heard the truth, he was so stunned for a long time that he didn't even realize that the broth in the tin could was burned dry.

"I didn't expect that the identity of the black-clothed witch we dealt with turned out to be Benalis, the night witch who has existed since ancient times!"

Virgito's cheeks were pensive, his brow locked in sorrow, and he desperately searched for the few words he had read about while reading through the books at the Karenitz Academy, and then told them to his friends.

"In ancient times, when the dark god Knox was still the arbiter of the night, there were seven original sins that survived in the world, and Knox had been the target of his crusade against sanctions. On top of the seven original sins, there are two more profound and distant evil consciousnesses, namely 'despair' and 'desire'. ”

Despair will bring a living world to death.

Lust will drive the peaceful world into madness.

Witches are not fierce generals like the Black Dragon General, their duty is to spread evil in the world, they are the masters of the Seven Original Sins, and they infiltrate patiently and slowly, staining a city and a country with a dark color.

Virgi shook the fork and said seriously: "Despair can give birth to the flower of desire, and desire can give birth to despair, and these two evils are inseparable as one and the same. The Lord Regent uses a ritual of despair, summoning Benalis, a witch who can satisfy his personal desires, and it seems that this sentence corresponds to this meaning. ”

"It's a call...... Instead of making?" asked the princess.

Virgie's opinion is the same as Yuri's: "Your Royal Highness, despair and desire are forces that even the dark gods can't completely control, Knox can't even seal them, and in the end they are corrupted and corrupted, how can a mere regent have the ability to create such a thing? The only reason why Benaliss was created by the regent was that she used the regent to create herself. ”

"I see......"

Virgy added: "The witch is not two specific people, more precisely, two extremely dark and evil consciousnesses. This consciousness seeks the right person in this world, attaches to them, destroys their original souls, occupies their bodies, and that person will exist in the form of a witch. The Regent's ritual is not to create dark energy, but to select a human girl, Layla, and make her the most suitable person for Benalis's power to possess. ”

Virgy concluded: "So the culprit is not the regent, but Benalis. ”

The princess retorted, "It's not Benalis, it's the Light Alliance that buried the witch in the ground of Muntia three thousand years ago!"

Virgi shook his head unbearably: "I didn't expect the Azure Magnificent Enchantment to prevent the witch's consciousness from leaking out. If this lie is made public, the worldview of the entire continent will be refreshed. Benalis's disaster for the elves goes far beyond this war. I remember that the history books said that during the period of the Light and Darkness War and even before, the Sun Elves and the Moon Elves were two very friendly and close peoples, and the King of the Wild Moon and the Emperor Jin Xi also fought side by side, and when one was injured, the other would rather fight to the point of loss than abandon his companions, and had a touching friendship. And the history of discord between the two peoples began after the war of light and darkness. ”
