Late autumn, waning moon.

Calculating the time, it has been a month, and today is the season of late autumn.

Simply enough, there are no insects, birds, birds and beasts in the Evil Dragon Ridge, so naturally you can't hear the crows, but the friction sound from the skeleton walking is particularly harsh.

- Loneliness.

There are no living creatures in the monotonous Evil Dragon Ridge, even if he has become an undead with endless life but people are not like people and ghosts, although the forest is mostly evergreen trees in all seasons, but when the ten thousand trees wither, a touch of cyan will not seem even more lonely?

Lin Bai is lonely.

With the majestic city already built, the heavy walls covered with frost, and the mighty undead arching the forbidden palace, what else could he do now?

He had too much time to splurge.

The world is immortal, the undead are immortal, and it only took a month to build this majestic city that spans thousands of miles, so what else can he do?

The level is already golden, and the magic is also penetrated.

Everything went so smoothly that it seemed that Lady Luck was standing behind him, and it seemed that nothing could be difficult for him, and even becoming a Dharma God was just around the corner.

Obviously, everything went so smoothly.

Why, why, why, why—I'm so empty!

Dressed in the decaying Cloak of the Dark Moon and the bronze mask given by the Bright Moon, Lin Bai squatted on the highest peak of the Evil Dragon Ridge, looking out at the horizon in the distance.

Hui Yue had already gone back a few hours ago.

But he had to endure the long night, which he had not yet slept, but he kept telling himself that the long night was over, and the dawn was coming, and so on and so forth, until a white white rose in the east.

The first afterglow of dawn is what Lin Bai longs for the most every day.

Although the body of the undead resisted the sunlight, only this first afterglow could slightly make up for Lin Bai's empty mind, as for why it was so empty, Lin Bai didn't know, but it was extremely clear.

- Sistrea Ellie!

This name hovers in his brain every day, the reason why he can't say it is unknown, it is purely a manifestation of self-deception, that important name, how can he forget it casually, that important agreement, is integrated into the depths of the blood.

Today is the appointed day!

Lin Bai looked at the bright moon in the sky and felt the awe-inspiring autumn wind: "Ellie, are you blaming the incompetent me for violating my oath beforehand?"

"But but, but, but—"

"Now I don't even want to listen to your blame, I really want to see you again, but now I'm not qualified, I used to think that the so-called people and ghosts are just nonsense, as long as the distance between the two hearts is getting closer, even if they cross the dimension, they can fall in love. ”

- "Not really!"

"Man and ghost, after all, are two straight lines that once intersected because of mistakes, and after a short intersection, they will eventually end the world and never meet, just as you live at dawn and I die in the night. ”

There was no answer to Lin Bai, only the cold wind that answered Lin Bai.

"You once told me that the world is round!"

In the silent courtyard, Ellie sat opposite the stone chair where Lin Bai once sit, and said to herself with an absolutely firm look in her eyes: "Your words are my truth, since you say that the world is round, then no matter where you are, we will eventually meet, and when the time comes, I will definitely bind you to my side, and I will not let you leave again for a minute." ”

- "You and I are not straight lines, but curves that blend together!"

Ellie stood up and walked towards the doorway, pausing when she had already stepped out of the door, and then turned to look at Boleyn at the door.

"Boleyn!"

Ellie said in an unquestioning tone, "You're my guardian knight?!"

The long sword is out of the body and placed in front of the chest.

- "Where His Highness's heart goes, where Weichen's sword goes!"

Ellie snapped, "Would you be loyal to me!"

Kneeling on one knee with eyes like iron.

- "For Her Highness Sistrea, give your heart!"

Silence –

When the wind blew on the plantain, Ellie said leisurely: "From today onwards, Boleyn Yodel is my Ellie's guardian knight, my dignity will be defended by you, my will will be executed by you, and my life 、、、 will be guarded by you!"

- "Your Majesty, even if you die, you will not give up!!"

In the Starry Sky Continent, this is the highest level of knight's oath, once the oath of allegiance is taken, it means that the knight will always guard the master who has sworn allegiance, and the master's heart is the direction of the knight's sword.

Unless—

Unless the knight is willing to betray the noble title of 'knight' and become a despised existence.

Ellie didn't have any joy at Boleyn's oath, she just nodded slightly and walked in the direction of the dormitory, even Boleyn could see that Ellie was not so much joyless as rather sad at this time.

Yes!

This most solemn oath was originally prepared for her knight Lin Bai, but it was Bolin, who was the least likely to become a guardian knight, who made people and finally became her guardian knight.

She didn't want to admit it.

But!

In order to gain Bolin's loyalty, she must make him her guardian knight, who is loyal to the princess, not the kingdom.

Other words!

Even if the king orders the execution of the princess, the existence of the guardian knight must defend the princess's life until the last moment, and the guardian knight who betrays the kingdom but is loyal to the princess, even if he is treasonous, can get the most solemn burial of the kingdom.

Boleyn, who has sworn allegiance, has been guided by Ellie's will.

And when she came to the dormitory, after Ellie had dispersed all the servants, she said to Bolin solemnly: "Bolin, the time has come to offer your loyalty, no matter what, I have to find Lin Bai and ask him face to face why he betrayed the agreement between us, I can forgive him for leaving, but I can't forgive him for his betrayal, so please help me!"

And so it was!

Although Bolin was prepared in his heart, when he really heard Ellie's words, his brain still froze, but his reaction was definitely not slow.

Get down on one knee!

Bo Lin said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, even if it is the price of your life, Your Majesty will protect your life until you find Lin Bai." ”

He couldn't say no anymore.

For Bolin, if he didn't want to betray his knighthood, then Ellie ordered him to kill himself immediately, and he had to do the same, so Ellie said that if he wanted to find Lin Bai, he had to go to Lin Bai.

"I don't doubt your loyalty, but please eat this. ”

Ellie suddenly took out a red pill, Bolin's pupils shrank the moment he saw this pill, he couldn't understand what this pill was - the palace sand scorpion pill!

A highly poisonous poison!

Legend has it that each palace scorpion pill has a slight difference, and the result of this difference is that there is only one antidote in the world, once you take it, if you don't take the antidote within a year, you will immediately die violently.

This is the most poisonous poison of the royal family of the Rain Country.

And Ellie's behavior could not be more obvious, that is, she did not believe in his allegiance and wanted to restrain him with poison, and this distrust was precisely an insult to the knight, let alone Boleyn, who could not hide his emotions all the time?

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Boleyn was furious, and he suddenly stood up and said angrily, "May I ask you that you are questioning my loyalty, if you want to humiliate me with this pill, then I can defend the glory of my knighthood before you!"

With that, Boleyn's sword was raised, and he was about to kill himself.

Tick Tick Tick Tick –

But at this moment, the sound of water dripping suddenly attracted Bolin's attention, and looking at the source of the sound, he saw Ellie holding the pill tightly in her hand, stubbornly raising her head, and resolutely not letting herself make a sound, but the tears were dripping uncontrollably to the ground, making a ticking sound.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you ......"

Bolin was taken aback, and immediately put down his long sword and said: "Your Highness atonements, Your Majesty definitely did not deliberately disobey your orders, but, just ......"

"I understand. ”

Ellie wiped her tears slightly and said, "The glory of a knight is indeed something more important than life, I shouldn't question your loyalty, it's all my fault, but ......"

Ellie looked at Boleyn with a sincere gaze.

Then he said in a weak voice: "But I can't trust anyone except that person, maybe it's an insult to you to say this, but I don't want to deceive you, in my heart, that person is my real guardian knight, even if it betrays the agreement between us, I have never questioned this." ”

"Your Majesty understands!"

Bolin took Ellie's hand, casually and gently spread out her clenched palm, took out the palace scorpion pill from it, and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Boleyn, you ......"

"The Guardian Knight is the Princess's Guardian Knight!"

Bolin gave a solemn knightly salute: "As long as it is your order, even if it is for me to immediately betray the glory of the knight and declare war on the whole world, your subordinates will never give up!"

"Thank you, Boleyn. ”

Ellie stroked her hair, "You are indeed a qualified guardian knight, and I am sorry that I was a little prejudiced against you before, and I am deeply honored to be the object of your allegiance." ”

His Majesty was terrified. ”

Bolin hurriedly retreated: "Since His Highness has made up his mind, then His Majesty will definitely help you find Lin Bai, please allow Your Majesty to temporarily retire and make some preparations." ”

Ellie nodded: "You go down, bring this crystal card on, the preparation will inevitably require a huge amount of money, these are all my savings, I will hand them all over to you, before that, you need to go to the mercenary union to collect some information, my father once provided the dark information, but I can't believe it." ”

"Your Majesty understands!"

"Proceed with caution. ”

After some instructions, Bolin secretly left the palace with the crystal card, and secretly began to prepare and inquire about information.
