Chapter 102: The Meaning of Parting

Akured clenched his fists and whispered, "I have a vague feeling that there must be some kind of inside story in the Order that is seriously contrary to my beliefs for many years. I have always believed that spreading the faith is to allow more people to bathe in the blessings of Lord Faruna, so that they can be freed from poverty and illness and live happier lives. And now I'm confused, is the purpose of our mission really to make people happy, and can happiness be forced into others by such forceful means?"

"Then why do we want more followers?" Louis pondered, "We are already the most powerful organization on the mainland, and the number of followers of the rest of the Celestials is unlikely to be comparable to ours, not to mention that no one has openly opposed the Order of Light over the years, except for the minions of Knox, of course. To achieve supremacy on this continent, we have already achieved this goal. So what can more faith bring us?"

"I thought that walking under the light, willing to pay and sacrifice silently, to make this world peaceful and peaceful, this is our chivalry. But now I don't understand it anymore. ”

"You're starting to suspect the Order?"

Akured was about to say yes when he suddenly saw four dark figures in the night. One is muscular, the other is tall and arrogant, the other has the weakness of a literati, while the other is almost the size of the three companions combined, and the inscription of the knights on their shoulders is shining, and it is their own. But I don't know how much they heard what they just said, but it was all very bad.

"I think you were a friend of Ulysses. The voice of the sturdy man at the head came mleakly from under the iron helmet of the tiger on his cheek.

Is this guy going to accuse me of colluding with heretics and my faith is starting to waver?

"No wonder you're in friendship with that guy. And I, too, will stare with my eyes. The tiger man held out his fingers in front of his eyes a little, then pointed into the distance.

Akured stood up nervously with the hammer in his hand, seeing that these people were formidable "Raging Beast Barrier" warriors, and it was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by them.

And the weak man gently patted Akured on the shoulder, and said in a voice like a breeze, "Don't worry, that guy Yanhu is not staring at you, but staring at the shadow that lurks in the light." ”

Akured's eyes widened, and he hurriedly looked back at the four of them, but the four of them were draped in starlight, leaving their distant backs in the night wind.

For some reason, when Akured stared at the dark beast-like back, he could feel a hint of confidence.

The day of parting is near.

Back in the imperial capital, Yuri and Virgi forgot to think about the future for a while, but when they wore new armor and cloaks, they walked through the clear blue sky of the imperial capital, holding a bag full of gold coins, and sat in the square next to the Zhaohui Memorial Hall to enjoy a moment of rest, drinking cold cranberry fruit wine, while looking up at the towering emerald green spire building, as if high enough to hold the clouds that passed by in the wind.

But in the end, the breeze came, the clouds faded away, and the two wandering knights finally realized that they were like this free white cloud, and did not really belong to this gorgeous city of art.

It's still time to get on the road.

Pigeons stride leisurely in the square, brass street lamps reflect bright metallic light, candles dance in the night taverns dance to laughter, shooting stars streak across the sky in the fireworks that bloom at night, and the Milky Way hangs upside down in the blue sky. This is the most relaxed and leisurely day of Yuri's life, and he doesn't have to worry about suddenly not being able to touch the greatsword that has accompanied him in battle until now when he is awakened by the battle report, and the battle report will never be heard again, and the greatsword seems to be useless anymore.

However, Yuri could not forget that on the Tower of Light, he could not leave a single scar on the golden armor of the Divine Knight, despite all his efforts. Even if the firepower is fully turned on, the potential is completely stimulated, and the "Holy Grail of Light" can be simulated temporarily by the Mandate of Light, which is already an impossible miracle, but it is still impossible to bring the slightest pain to the Divine Knight.

The gap between them cannot even be bridged by strong willpower and the miraculous light that radiates from this willpower. It seems that this is not the right way to write a shonen adventure story.

In fact, it is the elves who win, and these two words have nothing to do with me. I don't have the right to stay and be part of the elves' enthusiastic celebrations.

Three days ago, the two wandering knights and the princess returned to the imperial capital, and were cheered by people holding flowers alof.

The emperor had a very high opinion of these two heroic teenagers.

"From the beginning of the calm period before the outbreak of war to the final chapter when the Desperate Lord was destroyed, you have never given up on justice, and have been by the princess's side as friends, and have fought countless battles that have led to victory. So I hope to give you a commendation, Freelancer Yuri, and if you can, the Royal Army Academy General's Special Training Battalion, I hope you will participate. And the position of Sergeant Viji, a midshipman in the Royal Army General Staff, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

The princess was happy for her friends: "Yuri, do you know what the General's Special Training Camp means? Don't be shocked to hear it, Raphael, Miraya and Areno used to be students of this academy!"

Virgie smiled and squinted his eyes: "So this is the cradle of the three generals of the empire, right?"

"That's right! Basically, as long as you can graduate successfully, you will definitely become a senior general of Jin Xi, and the most top-notch person may even become a new third general!" said the princess excitedly.

"But I thought about it carefully, the princess and Sister Audrey already have protectors, and there is only one vacancy left for the three generals, if Yuri is really lucky enough to become the new general, that is to say, he ...... will become Aurora's protector. Virgi jokingly analyzed.

The princess and Yuri imagined the picture of Yuri holding the giant sword and yelling at Auroran, "Hey, you kid dare not obey the command of my guardian, do you want to die once and see", and they couldn't help but have a chill on their faces.

The princess hurriedly interrupted: "As for the apprentice military division, in the case of re-establishing the weaving after the war, the transformation is very fast. At that time, Vigi will definitely be able to become the chief military advisor of his country, and then he will be famous all over the world. ”

Yuri quipped, "Virgy is not uncommon for this kid to be famous all over the world." It's better to say that he was like this a few years ago. ”

The Emperor cleared his throat and continued, "It's just that Yuri and Virgy, out of concern for the future of the two of you, am afraid that they will have to reshape their identities, abandon their past, and no longer use their previous names. I will give you a glorious name, and from now on you will live in Sorantil as a midship-apprentice general and military advisor. ”

Abandon...... In the past?

When the princess saw Yuri's head lowered, she couldn't help but say anxiously, "Father, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to abandon the past?

"I'm also thinking that it's best not to get into unnecessary disputes with the Knights of Light. After all, there are many opportunities to work with them in post-war reconstruction. There is no need to force the claim that the two young talents are enemies of the Order. ”

Yuri and Virgy were silent, while the princess argued loudly, "We don't have to involve the Knights in the reconstruction!"

The emperor's beard shook, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his thin face: "But the public opinion is like this. Flora, you go out on the street and listen, how many musicians began to play Faruna's hymns after this war, and how many people began to pray to the god of light before their daily meals. They were convinced that it was the intervention of the Light that prevented the war from moving eastward, and that the terms of assistance offered by the Supreme Leader of the Order, the Holy Priest, were also very generous. ”

The implication is that there is a huge amount of financial aid on one side and the names of two people on the other, and the difference between the two is so great that there is nothing to hesitate about. To be honest, the Emperor has indeed done his best, and he could have chosen to ignore Yuri and Virgy in order to unite with the Order, but he was still willing to offer them a lucrative future, and the price of keeping the two in Sorantil was only to start the future with a new identity, and not to deliberately state that "the elves are just to reuse the heretics of the Order" is enough.

Yuri asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty the Emperor, if I become an officer of Jin Xi, does it mean that I can't deliberately find fault in front of the Divine Light Knights in the future?"

"It's nature. "The Emperor could not understand Yuri's vulgar language.

Yuri then heartily inserted his waist and said with a smile: "Then thank you for your kindness, although it is very good to be an officer, but maybe a stable life is not suitable for me, I am afraid I have to refuse painfully." My past, though tattered, is not something to be discarded. I'll have to slam my fist in the face of the Divine Knight, or I'll never be able to sleep soundly. ”

Of course, the Emperor could not understand Yuri's strange remarks.

The princess's eyes flashed with sadness and pity.

Yuri patted Vicky on the shoulder and said, "But Virgy, you can stay and be a military advisor." You are a gentle fellow, it is really not with you, if you can find peace here, and be able to live a leisurely life with a friend like the princess, I will be happy for you. ”

"It sounds a little bit of a truth, too. Virgy smiled and beckoned, "Then I'll stay." ”

The air stopped for half a second, and then Vicky and the princess pointed at Yuri and said, "Since the tears are going to flow so loudly, and you have to write the word 'lost' on the door of your head, don't pretend to say it so heroically!"
