Chapter 517: The Knight in the Library Pavilion
Purple Orchid Kingdom
Due to the change of ownership, the kingdom is still in turmoil, and the royal family and most of the nobles are working hard to suppress the remnants of the witches, resulting in daily bloodshed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why they have changed their procrastination attitude now is also because a visitor from the royal court, the Heavenly Knight who defeated the legendary witch in the Ice Realm and caused this disaster.
For this kind of character, the Zilan Kingdom did not dare to slack off, and even thought that the alliance was exerting pressure and expressing dissatisfaction.
In order not to anger the powerful knight alliance, the Zilan Kingdom decisively chose to cut off the relationship between the lotus roots, so as to appease the heavenly knights in the court.
This time, however, they only over-interpreted and complicated things, and Charon came out of nowhere to urge them, but to do something else.
To the north of the palace, a witchcraft tower tens of meters high stood, the glow of witchcraft above dissipated, the barrier was all lifted, and the once formidable power was already disintegrating, replaced by another terrifying figure.
In the shadowy area of the Witchcraft Tower, the princess Nicole stood in front of the door, she was tied with a lilac high ponytail, and her temperament was even more sassy against the background of luxurious and exquisite armor.
Aside from her childhood, she had been close to this place for more than a decade, for the simple reason that the court wizard test found that she had no talent for learning witchcraft.
After embarking on the path of knighthood, no matter how many tasks she completed, she could not get back the promotion of status, and her father loved the sisters who became witches after all, a gap that could never be crossed.
Now that the Knights of the Alliance have defeated the Witches, they can finally be entrusted with the task of becoming the link between the royal family and the Alliance.
Radiant, Nicole secretly clenched her fists, took a straight and powerful long leg, and strode towards the witchcraft tower in the center.
After the palace enshrined witches left, the royal family erased the defensive circle, and there was no longer a need for strict identity checks to enter the interior.
As I remember from my childhood, the strange murals tattooed on the walls, the laboratory table is equipped with various mineral materials and biological materials used for spell casting, and the lamps hanging from the ceiling are decorated with a large amount of fluorescent stone, emitting a pale green glow.
Walking up the circular staircase, each floor is different, the style is strange and varied, except for a few floors that seem a little messy, the rest of the place is relatively neat.
The residual information that the perception kept feeding back was enough for Nicole to recall the general situation in her mind, and the back of the hasty escape.
With mixed emotions in mind, Nicole quickly reached the top floor, which was empty, and there was nothing superfluous except for the wooden door that stood out abruptly in the center.
Witchcraft can compress a large space into a flat surface, even a small dot, so that what is invisible does not mean that it does not exist, and this wooden door is the entrance to the compressed space.
Thinking of facing a Sky Knight, Nicole couldn't completely calm down, so she could only take a deep breath and knock on the wooden door with her teeth clenched.
In the quiet environment, the sound of the heart popping was unusually clear, and just as the taut heartstrings were about to break, a faint light was released from the gap in the wooden door frame, and it slowly opened with a creak.
The vastness of the space greeted her, a vaulted dome of transparent glass, with a sparkling lake outside, and there could be no lake on the Witchcraft Tower, which was probably just a bridge to the bottom of a distant lake.
Tens of thousands of books are placed around the wall with several storeys of bookshelves, and a rigorous academic atmosphere is paved.
On the circular platform in the middle, the blonde youth sat on the edge, his legs hanging naturally in the air, holding an open book in one hand, and was condescendingly examining himself.
The other party seems to be the master of this world, with a calm gaze, full of strong oppressive force, in front of such a force, he is like a small ant.
It was difficult for her to describe the panic that swelled up in her heart at this time, she did not dare to take half a step, and if it weren't for the relative tenacity of her will, she even felt that she would crawl on the ground.
"You're the one sent by the royal family of Ancient Rus?"
There was no undulating tone coming from Charon's mouth, with an inexplicable sense of alienation, and at the same time, the terrifying coercion quickly dissipated.
"Yes! Nicole Gros has seen you!"
Nicole hurriedly stroked her chest and saluted, bowing her head in response, despite the natural movement on the surface, the smooth back of her armor was already soaked with cold sweat.
Is this the Heavenly Knight, the top powerhouse in the continent?
"What I need is someone who is familiar with these books, and you, as a knight, know enough about this place?"
Charon put down the books in his hand and stood up on the high platform, wearing a low-key and restrained black silk costume on his body, like an ordinary nobleman.
It's hard to imagine that he has the power to destroy the world, and the only trace that can tell that he is a knight is probably the Judgment Sword sheathed at his waist.
"My lord, the royal family of Ancient Rus' would come to the Witchcraft Tower when they were young to learn knowledge, read all the books, and notify the royal family of new books, and every year in the next year, they will pay attention to the records and have an impression of these books. ”
Hearing her say this, Charon didn't continue to ask, beckoning the other party in.
There are mostly books and personal codex about the basics, and there are no key secret arts, more than 60,000 volumes, with his strong perception and memory, he can read and remember them all, but it will take at least a few days.
However, the Supreme Knight personally summoned him to return to the headquarters today, and he could only ask the Zilan Kingdom to arrange people to find books for himself.
"First of all, I need to take out the books on the principles of the various systems of witches, and I need to know about the historical events of witches against themselves, the Alliance, the Church, and the dark race, and you will find the documents that record these. ”
"If there are books that study the physique and fighting spirit of knights, they will also be picked aside. ”
“......”
The successive orders came to her ears without any pause, and Nicole quickly took them to heart.
"That's about it, questions?"
"No, there's no problem, my lord!"
Returning to her senses, Nicole shook her head and hurried to the bookshelf, searching for the target she was looking for.
The high-level knight-level qualities made her quite agile, climbing up and down the ladder, pulling out the books one by one, and finally placing them on a special cart.
When the cart was about to be full, Nicole suddenly noticed a force rising from behind, and looking back, the books were being tied up with gold ribbons and carried to the high platform.
The furious fighting spirit not only became so docile and controllable, but also condensed things according to her thoughts, which made Nicole's heart tremble, and she quickly guessed that it was the unique ability of the Heavenly Knight.
She stole a glance at Charon, who was concentrating on a book, she didn't expect the Heavenly Knight to look so old and be so interested in witches' knowledge.
Although it is rumored that the higher the realm, the stronger the powerhouse, the more they like to delve into other power systems, so as to bypass the analogy.
But most of these books that have not been taken away are shallow and simple, and can they really come in handy?
Nicole was deeply skeptical, but no matter what she was thinking, Charon on the other side had already entered a state of selflessness, and as the pages of the book turned rapidly, a large amount of words entered his retina.
Under the filtering of the brain with strong analytical and computing capabilities, a large amount of useless information is eliminated, and the bits and pieces of valuable information are successively planned and classified, which is deeply rooted in the mind.
He came to the Zilan Kingdom this time, because he heard that there was a witchcraft tower with a large number of books, and instead of meditating and digesting the gains of the previous battle with witches, it was better to have a deeper understanding of witchcraft from the root, and then find out the laws of the witchcraft system.
Although his eyes were imprinted with what he had seen, the memories stored in his mind could not be turned into tangible experiences without fully understanding the principles.
In the past, he had forcibly read other people's memories to enhance his understanding of witchcraft, but now it was just a step further, after all, he would often have to face legendary witches in the future.
Charon flipped through the books very quickly, and Nicole didn't keep up with the speed of picking up the books according to his own memories and the records of the royal family, and when he got to the back, he simply closed his eyes and analyzed the parts that had been summarized.
Once again, the sea of consciousness was expanded, and a monstrous wave was set off, and thousands of words broke out from under the surface of the sea and shot high into the sky.
The sword-shaped skeleton that had been standing in this world for a long time seemed to respond to this upheaval, emitting golden bright particles.
When these particles touch the text, they suddenly unfold and change, and they are aggregated to form models of different types and shapes.
Then the two of them continued to connect with each other, perfecting the system, and finally forming another behemoth.
The ever-changing scene brings a kind of wordless shock, and you can imagine how magnificent the will shrouded in the sea of consciousness is.
The model that simulates the witch's power system resembles a giant tree, growing straight from its roots and branching out like branches.
At the ends of the branches hung transparent foam, some empty, others filled with illusory visions, such as the dragon of the eternal night, which Charon had personally taught.
Although these are the basic knowledge of the witch's path, after combing through the norms and comparing them with their own experiences, many confusions suddenly became much clearer.
Immersed in a world of exploration, Charon almost forgot the passage of time, and when he stopped the calculations and opened his eyes again, he found that the books picked out by the female knight had been placed on a small hill.
"Is that all?"
Hearing the inquiry from the high platform, Nicole, who had been standing for two hours, immediately looked up and responded, "Yes, my lord, do you have any other orders?"
"Nothing else, you can go down. ”
Charon shook his head, looked at Nicole again, and muttered, ".... Since I am tired of helping, I will give you a gift. ”
In the quiet environment, such a voice was very clear, Nicole thought that she had misheard, and when she looked up, she saw the scene of Charon's sudden punch.
Buzz Buzz -
Charon's speed was not fast, but the place where he was hit by his fist suddenly twisted, and the circle of spatial fluctuations that swept up was agitated layer by layer, quickly advancing towards the female knight.
Nicole instinctively tried to dodge, but the spatial fluctuations came too quickly, and before the soles of her boots could lift off the ground, they penetrated her body in an instant.
The external force made the female knight like a thunderbolt, and the burning fighting spirit was like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would be blown out at any time.
Standing in place for a long time, she finally fell to her knees, and if it wasn't for her hands forcibly propped up, her posture would be even more indecent.
However, Nicole didn't care about these at this time, she had already noticed the upheaval in her body, the external force was washing her flesh and bones, and the impurities that had been precipitated in her body for a long time turned into powder and dissolved into the blood.
With a sweet cry in her throat, Nicole spat out a mouthful of blood, but after that, new power continued to pour out of her body, and the rekindled fighting spirit became more pure and powerful.
"This ....." she stood up, looking at her hands distractedly.
"As a knight, the body should be forged and tempered in a step-by-step manner, and although the witch's medicine is useful, relying on them for a long time is tantamount to self-cultivation. ”
Charon withdrew his fist and said lightly: "This time I will only help you deal with some of the drug residues, if you want to have the true power of the knight, you must rely on yourself." ”
Nico looked up at Charon with a wistful gaze, but the latter did not make any further remarks, but gave the order to evict the guest bluntly.
"You can step down. ”
Nicole's lips opened slightly, but she finally swallowed her words back, saluted Charon solemnly, and withdrew from the library.
In fact, there is no need for Charon to say more, when the alliance's control over several kingdoms here is strengthened, the knights here will naturally understand these concepts.
In the open environment, Charon was once again alone, and he waved his arms, creating a strong air current, and carried the books he had read on the high platform to the ground.
On the left hand are the ones selected by the female knights out of thin air, and the history books written by witches are richer and more detailed than those written by the Alliance, and contain more and more complex information.
Probably because the witch has been very good at subverting and controlling the kingdom through intrigue before, he may be able to find some interesting clues in it.
The peerless Knight King, the Church of Light that once spread across the continent, the changes of the dark race thousands of years ago, and the Dark God Society that he identified as his mortal enemy, these are all the objects he wants to know more about.
In this Dongbai War, he has been watching the whole scene, waiting for the owner of Chaos to appear.
However, whether it was the alliance or the witch's side, no matter how fierce the battle was, he did not perceive the power fluctuations that disgusted him.
What are they waiting for, or are they carefully curled up because they failed to hunt themselves?
There were many possible answers, and he couldn't be sure, there were too few clues about the other party.
Maybe this time when I meet with the Supreme Knight, I should ask the other party for more details about the Dark God Society, and only by knowing myself and knowing the other can I destroy this huge force hidden behind the scenes.
At the same time as the murderous intent in Charon's heart was pervasive, hundreds of thousands of miles away, a loud bell rang in the bright holy city where faith gathered.
At the top of the sacred mountain, cardinals and celestial knights surrounded Pope Gregory I, who held a scepter and looked naturally calm, the most terrifying power in the world overflowing from his weak body, and the magnificent and sacred ode could be faintly heard.
Hannah the witch activates the compass-shaped witchcraft, and the needle on the witchcraft rotates at high speed, bringing out bursts of tyrannical electricity.
The higher and higher currents merged one after another, and finally erupted into an earth-shattering roar, and nine blurred figures appeared above the compass.
The first meeting in history between the Church's top powerhouses and legendary witches is an unusual occasion that heralds the beginning of turmoil.
