A thick mist filled the sky, and the icy rain fell drippingly, and even the dense trees that did not see the end could not completely block it, and the layers were penetrated, and the dark green leaves were washed more vividly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the shade of the trees, the rain lines that flow down the ends of the leaves are densely interspersed, and the wet ground is soaked softer, and some low-lying places are even already mud pools, so it is not easy to hide the traces in such a hurry.

In the hollow of the tree with tangled roots, the bare and upper-body youth leaned against the side wall, resting with his eyes closed, undisturbed by the noise of the outside world.

The tense muscles gradually relaxed, the lines became softer, and the only drawback was that the criss-crossed scars were still there, and some of them were not fully healed.

After the Supreme Commander Dark Sage was killed, the awakened Dark Race temporarily suppressed their fear, causing the subsequent hunt to continue all night.

It is precisely because of their perseverance that Charon has not been able to rest, and after the backlash comes, he will fall into a more serious state of weakness.

The fighting qi born in the cyclone of the arms was no longer dazzling, but much dimmer, and almost all of the vitality of the Radiant Stone was lost.

The level of the sea of consciousness was also much lowered, and compared to the wounds on his body, he was mentally exhausted, and exhaustion and sleepiness hit him like a tidal wave, almost trying to drown him.

But his will is like a rock, holding on to the last sobriety, listening to the movements of the outside world.

The sky is no longer raining cold, but the water carried by the dense branches and leaves cannot be drained for a while, and it is still dripping one after another, making a subtle clattering sound.

In Charon's perception, these changes are countless ripples that spread, seemingly disorderly chaos, but in fact adhering to the rhythm of nature.

And when an outsider intrudes, this rhythm will change subtly!

Charon opened his eyes suddenly, his sharp gaze piercing out like a sword, and through the barrier of countless trees and vegetation, he "saw" a streamer of light a few kilometers away that was rushing in his direction, it was a classical craft carriage.

The black exterior of the carriage is inlaid with beautiful silver patterns, the perfect combination of nobility and mystery, even the corners of the eaves are incomparably fine, and the inlaid precious stones are dazzling, and these values are comparable to the real thing, just to highlight the eminence of the passengers.

Pulling the carriage were two Dire horses, their heads held high, running straight ahead, ignoring the obstacles that stood at hand, but the vegetation that was an entity quickly became illusory before they could reach them, and did not recover until the carriage passed through.

By the time Charon picked up the black iron sword and walked out of the hollow of the tree, the carriage had come to a quiet stop ten meters away, and the drops of water dripping from above slid down on its own to the sides, looking like an arch from his point of view.

The door of the car slowly opened, the bottom of the car slid out of the black crystal staircase, and the graceful and slender girl walked down elegantly with her skirt, her face was filled with a sweet smile, and in an instant it was like a spring flower, and the whole world became bright.

"You shouldn't be in front of me, Illya Retana. Charon's gaze grew darker, and he spoke with a sense of estrangement.

"Brother Charon, you didn't dislike and alienate me because I was an evil bloodline. ”

The girl Illya wrinkled her nose, but she still opened her lace umbrella and came to Charon's side to block the falling water droplets for the other party.

"This is different from the past, when you were in Thors, you were still under my protection, and now this is the battle realm of Dongbai, the battlefield of the Knight Alliance and other forces. ”

"Since you are on a different standpoint, there is no need to get too close. Charon glanced at the worn black iron sword, which still smelled faintly rusty, even though it had dried up.

Illya let go of the umbrella in her hand and let it levitate, while holding Charon's arm, her cheeks flushed, "The umbrella is small, and there is no way to do it." ”

"I am now a knight recruited by the Alliance to crusade against the enemy. ”

"But I'm not your enemy, and you've promised to bless me, even if I'm a Blood, dear brother!"

Jewel-like eyes reflected Charon, and a hint of anger appeared on Illya's face, revealing her small and cute fangs, as if she wanted to bite Charon.

"At that time, you were still the daughter of the Del family, and as the head of the family, I had the responsibility to protect you, and at that time, I also wanted to cultivate you into a sharp sword in my hand, which was to use. ”

Charon paused and continued: "Now that you are the Illya of the Retana family, and the protection of the Prince of the Blood Clan is very safe, I am not qualified for the time being, and I do not have the strength to interfere without permission. ”

Illya was keenly aware of the word 'temporary', her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she said slyly: "Even if you can't protect you now, you can still continue to use Illya, I have what my brother needs." ”

"This time, Illya came to Dongbai, but she brought a lot of materials that are helpful for the vitality of Douqi, but she went out in a hurry the day before yesterday, and now they are still in the forest hut. And Illya happens to know something about the Dark God Church, and my brother might be interested. ”

Looking at the smiling Illya, Charon frowned, he believed in the strength of the Retana family, but there was no need for him to risk being suspicious of the alliance and swallow this bait.

After thinking for a moment, Charon still took out the information crystal, shook his palm and pinched it into powder, "Let's go, I won't be back to the alliance for the time being during this time." ”

"Hmm. Illya obediently replied, the first step of the plan was successfully completed, and at the same time made sure that her brother was actually the same as before, not very hostile to the dark, as long as he was not his enemy.

When the Dire horse came to the carriage, Charon held Illya's slender palm and let the other party get into the carriage first, and then he stepped to follow.

Even with the passage of time, this familiarity has not changed, but some emotions have fermented more mellow in the heart.

"I'm finally able to lean into your arms, and Illya misses it, brother. ”

Affectionate whispers resounded in the quiet and ethereal carriage, and the atmosphere slowly became charming, as if it wanted to make people's hearts ape.

Just the natural seductive power is so strong, Charon looked at the girl snuggled in his arms, stretched out his hand to stroke the other party's soft silver hair, but recalled the peace of the two in the past, and the desire to be hooked gradually subsided.

"Brother, you are really wood, why don't you let go of your innermost desires? ”

Illya closed her eyes and pressed her face to Charon's chest, listening carefully to the throbbing of her heart.

"Restraint is the rule of knights. ”

"Excessive repression will only lead to a more violent backlash. ”

"Really?" Charon disagreed, shaking his head and arguing no more.

....................

The base camp of the Dongbai branch of the Knight Alliance.

More than 200 knights gathered together, the long table in a ring stretched backwards in a staircase, and on the bottom square stood the head of the investigation team, Gaynor.

He whispered about the investigation, and the vivid projection fell on the vast open space behind him, the vast dark legions, the surging number of dark powerhouses, and the cruelty of killing knights.

The air was heavy, and even though everyone was restrained, the anger still built up more and more, and finally the whole conference hall seemed to tremble.

“.......... Ten people were killed on the spot, and two failed to enter the teleportation range, and these are the reports of the investigation team. ”

Gaino's clenched fists crackled, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but his face remained numb.

After Gaynor's report, Supreme Commander Greyjoy got up from his seat on the high platform and said aloud: "There is more darkness hidden in the twilight forest than we thought, and this is the main reason for the failure of this investigation, we must remember this lesson, our enemies are not just witches!"

"The blood of the knights cannot be shed in vain, so I want to reorganize and expand the size of the investigation team, so that I can enter the twilight forest to crusade after a while, and those who are interested can sign up with the head of Gano. ”

The knights' emotions were completely ignited, and they all stood up and drew their swords, brazenly holding them high, "Fight for the Alliance!"

The scene of the crowd surging made Greyjoy nod secretly, whether it was out of strategic necessity or revenge for his companions, the dark race must be suppressed.

When the meeting was over and everyone dispersed, Gano came to Greyjoy and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, Lord Commander, for giving me the opportunity to atone for my sins, Gayno will definitely kill the dark race in the Twilight Forest!"

"This time it's the intelligence department's problem, not the investigation team's fault, and Knight Gainor doesn't have to blame himself too much. ”

"The Del Knight is a knight whose combat power is at the pinnacle. Gaino's tone was frighteningly calm.

Greyjoy's face couldn't help but become gloomy, in fact, he knew that Knight Del was far more than that, but in the encirclement of the Dark Legion, and facing so many strong people, the probability of successfully breaking through was not high.

Previously, he sent the other party to the investigation team just to let it take care of the investigation team, but he didn't expect that the dark race was far stronger than expected, and let the other party put himself in, which undoubtedly caused a huge loss to the alliance, and he was also to blame.

It's just that time in the world can't turn back, and he can only face the established facts and take responsibility for his dereliction of duty.
