Knights of the End!

Looking at Yu Lian, many of the nobles were almost pale, and their mouths were wide open and they couldn't say a word. www.biquge.info As a dangerous person who was once on the mainland, Yu Lian's name was deliberately forgotten by many people. After all, the continent is so big, it is not difficult to hide a person's name, but what is difficult is to hide a force. And the Knights of the End are such a force that there is no way to hide.

When exactly this knight order appeared has been too long to verify, and many historians have different opinions about its membership and power class. However, it is undeniable that every time it appears, it will bring strong turmoil to the entire continent, and the demise of almost all countries on the continent in the past hundred years has been directly related to it. Even if you only have to open the history book and check the historical records, then you can know how terrifying this knight is.

In the thirty-fifth year of the Snow Moon, on the Silver Mist Plateau, the Kingdom of Palais fought with the Knights of the Last Moon, which lasted for January and 2 and was destroyed.

In the thirteenth year of the Dark Moon Calendar, the Guardian Legion of the Land of Freedom, the Guardian Legion of the Silver Country, fought against the Knights of the Last Moon, which lasted for thirty days, and was defeated and destroyed.

The year of the light breeze and the summer song October ............ Throughout the history of the entire continent, in just a hundred years, there were as many as 35 countries that fought and perished with the Knights of the Last Rites, and these countries were not small countries like the Sith in the past, but huge countries with powerful forces and territories. Take the Kingdom of Palais as an example, it used to occupy one-fifth of the territory of the entire continent, but after tearing through its northern defense line, the Knights of the Final Yan Dynasty went all the way south non-stop, and entered the royal city within a month, and completely annihilated the garrison of 300,000 people in the royal city, and the royal family was killed. After that, the kingdom that had been at its peak immediately fell apart, divided into several small kingdoms, and lost its former glory. The original glory and prosperity were simply like an illusory and unreal dream, which was shattered in an instant.

And, even more bizarrely, unlike other powerful forces, the Knights of the End don't seem to have a clear idea. In the case of the Church of Divine Grace and the Association of Teachers, the former has a clear teaching policy, so that people can feel the blessings of the Holy Mana, and believe in the Holy Mana, and recognize and protect their followers. The latter's goal is simple, to study and harness Mana's powers, and to train and protect mages who can communicate with Mana.

However, the Knights of the End did not have such a clear goal, sometimes helping the fierce scholars to suppress the revolting populace, and sometimes taking the side of the populace and attacking the royal family. Sometimes it attacks dissident parliamentarians on the orders of a king, but it also takes commissions from parliamentary states to help them rebel against more powerful monarchies.

In general, the Order of the Last Dead seems to be unprincipled, and anyone can get its help for a certain amount of money. However, careful historians, after sorting out this chaotic clue, have discovered a certain pattern -- first, most of the battles fought by the Knights of the Last Yan were territorial and very powerful, and they were powerful or superpowers. It rarely strikes against countries with small land areas and relatively weak strength (of course, it is not necessarily not to fight, but the proportion is low).

Secondly, the relationship between the Knights of the Last Grace and the Church of Divine Grace deteriorated extremely much, a hundred years ago, the Church of the Divine Grace even organized a million army to encircle and suppress the Knights of the Last Grace, but in the end, the Church of the Divine Grace not only annihilated the million army, but even eliminated the three countries in the north that supported the Church of the Holy Grace at that time, after that, the strength of the Church of the Holy Grace was greatly affected, and it was almost completely destroyed. If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the Knights of the Last Order, it took decades for the Church of Grace to slowly regain its influence, and I am afraid that there would be one less of the two major forces in the world now.

Because of this, on the other hand, the relationship between the Knights of the End and the Mage Guild is very good, at least in the historical record, there has been no conflict between the two sides, of course, this may also be related to the transcendent status and surname of the mages, after all, they are not very interested in things other than magic, naturally they will not have too many interests like the Church of Holy Grace, even if the ruling class is destroyed, for the mages, it is just a change of partner, not surprising.

The symbol of the Knights of the Last Death is the Sword and the Rose.

Of course, if it was just Yulian's empty words, then these nobles would not be so afraid. But they still remembered that just the night before, the young man in front of them had killed two knights of the Holy Grace and dozens of believers in the Church of Holy Grace! If they were puzzled before, now these nobles finally understood why!

I see!

The Knights of the Last and the Church of Grace have always been on the wrong path, if this young man is really the leader of the Knights of the End, then it is not surprising that he is bored and runs to the territory of the Church of Grace to make trouble, after all, unlike the Mage Guild, the Church of Grace and the Knights of the Last Grace do not even have a superficial harmonious relationship, some are just naked hostility. And the Church of Holy Grace did not react after being slapped in the face, but it also has a good explanation. The other party is the Knights of the End, when the Church of Holy Grace gathered millions of people and did not completely wipe them out, but instead made them almost turn themselves into dust, and now this is just a small church, how can it be the opponent of the other party?

For a time, many nobles felt that the mouth was suddenly opened, and the unclear attitude of the Church of Divine Grace had now become the best guarantee for Youlian -- if it wasn't for the Church of Grace knowing Yulian's true identity, how could they stand still and endure this breath? Now it seems that it is obvious that the Church of Holy Grace already knows this, so they would rather endure this tone and be slapped in the face than fight back......... Otherwise, I am afraid that the tragic scene of a hundred years ago will be repeated.

However, surprise to surprise, these nobles also knew nothing about the territory of the Twilight Forest that Yulian had said. Although it seems that what You Lian said confidently is true, he did not show any evidence, just empty words, which is inevitably a little unconvincing. Although the Knights of the Last Death are very afraid, the issue of sovereignty and territory is not an issue that can be negotiated after all.

West V's face was pale at the moment, of course he had also learned about the history of the Knights of the End, and even at that time, his history teacher told him that because of this, many countries on the later continent had an unwritten rule, that is, try not to develop too strong, in order to become the goal of the Knights of the End. Therefore, although there are many powerful countries on the continent now, their territories are basically limited to a very limited range, these countries would rather expand their strength through alliances, rather than send troops to annex the land of other countries, I am afraid that it is precisely this consideration, they are afraid that when, the Knights of the End will come out again to attack them, and at that time, they really can't even understand death.

After all, according to historical records, the great powers that were wiped out by the Knights of the Last Death were not necessarily expansionist countries with inflated ambitions, and some of them were just living their lives quietly and not interfering with foreign countries. But even so, they did not escape the fate of perdition. Therefore, no one knows whether this knight is a messenger of justice or a demon of destruction.

Although Larry Bod had hinted at or even made clear the relationship between Euren and the Knights of the Last Days, West V didn't think much about it at that time, after all, in his opinion, the Knights were a long time ago, and they hadn't appeared for so many years, so I'm afraid they would have disappeared for a long time.

But now, it actually appeared in front of him without warning?

"You don't have any proof of that, Mr. Yuren. ”

West V's tone had changed imperceptibly, but his attitude had not changed.

"Although you say that the Twilight Forest belongs to the Knights of the End, but our national book doesn't mark this anywhere, what is your explanation?"

Hearing West V's inquiry, Julien shrugged his shoulders again, and then he pointed to the throne beneath West V.

"Bottom right, third square. ”

What does that mean?

Not only West, but even the nobles were stunned, what is the third square on the lower right, is there any mystery on this throne?

Thinking of this, West V also frowned, he also sensed that Yu Lian was sure that there was something to be said, although he didn't want to check it, but now, since the other party has said it, it's not good for him to pretend that he didn't hear it. So, in desperation, West V had no choice but to stretch out his hand and touch the third square at the bottom right of the throne as Yuren said.

"Click. ”

Sure enough, just as he touched it, West V suddenly felt his finger touch a small gap, and then he gently hooked it, and then, immediately a dark compartment opened next to the throne. Then West V reached out and pulled out a small, black metal box inside.

Is there really a secret?

For a while, even the nobles looked at it curiously and in surprise, after all, they had been standing here for many years, and almost no one knew that this seat representing the power of the king would have such an organ?

Looking at the metal box, West V felt that it was not open, and it was not open. Since You Lian has already accurately stated this secret grid, it is self-evident what exactly is put in it. But now, under the gaze of the nobles, he had no choice but to open the box helplessly -- and sure enough, what was placed in it was a stack of documents that had been processed and preserved. And the content, as Yuren said, is the escrow treaty signed between the Knights of the Last and the Kingdom of West, which stipulates that during the departure of the Knights of the Last Order, the Kingdom of West must be responsible for the management of the West, and in return. During his tenure as a representative, West has full management of the Twilight Forest, which does not have a definite number of years, but states that the contract will be fulfilled until the Knights of the End reappear and reclaim their management rights. The extent of the Twilight Forest is clearly and detailed, and it also has the royal seal and the signature of King West.

Wester III ...... Seeing this signature, West V couldn't help but raise his head in confusion and glanced at Yuren. As much as he was tempted to refuse the other party's request on the grounds that the contract was false, the problem would inevitably come to light if the damn young man asked to show the contract to everyone. But if you destroy it like this, it is equivalent to indirectly confirming what the other party said............... In the end, West V gritted his teeth and reluctantly stretched out his hand.

"Indeed, as you say, Mr. Yuren, it is the same as in the contract. ”

Soon, a palace attendant came over, took the contract from West V's hand, and respectfully delivered it to Yuren. At this time, those nobles looked at this young man, almost numb with surprise.

"So, Mr. Yuren, is there anything else?"

At this time, West V had completely forgotten that it was obviously he who called the other party, and at this moment he was already in a state of confusion, feeling that the situation on the field was completely out of control. I just want to end this temple meeting immediately and calm down.

"No more. ”

Julien took the contract into his arms and bowed gracefully to West V.

"I have come here to withdraw this contract and to make a declaration to you...... Of course, this is only by the way, in fact, it is not me who is really in trouble. It's this young lady next to me........."

As he spoke, Yuren took a step back and made a gesture.

In the main hall, which was still slightly mocking, it immediately became dead silent.

"............ this young lady?"

West V scolded inwardly, but he had to look at Offariel, he had hated Eurian to death in his heart, and he had hoped to end the temple meeting as soon as possible, just to avoid Offariel. But now, it didn't happen that this damn bastard actually pushed her to the forefront!?

"This young lady is ............"

"Greetings, Your Majesty King Wester V. ”

Unlike Julien's casualness, O'Faryl opened his eyes at the moment, and then stepped forward to solemnly perform a very formal royal etiquette to West V -- meticulous and gentle.

At this time, the nobles had already begun to look at her intently, waiting for Offariel to speak.

Bearing the complicated gaze of everyone, Ofariel raised her head, her face solemn, but with a hint of sadness.

"I just hope to get an answer............ Excuse me, Her Royal Highness Princess Serian, where is she at the moment?"

"Princess Selien............

Hearing this, West's face changed again, he looked at Offariel in front of him, and Offariel also looked at him without avoidance, in those beautiful blue eyes, there was only firm faith and sadness.

Could it really be Sister Wang? Is it really Sister Wang?

At this moment, West V couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down.

Be calm!Be calm!You're not the same kid you used to be! You're now the king of a country!And she's just an ordinary woman!!That's all!Thinking of this, West V took a deep breath of cold air, and then replied slowly.

"Princess Selian was executed twenty-five years ago, this is a royal affair, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"What about the charges?"

"Having an affair with a foreign servant had a great impact on the prestige of the royal family, and according to the law, it was deserving of death. ”

"He deserves to be put to death...... Really?"

Hearing this, Offariel closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then she looked at West V again.

"I really can't understand, Pokes. ”

"You, what do you say............"

"Why do you do this to me and my mother, what have we done to you, that you should do this to us, and why do you have to put this charge on my mother, so that she will suffer such humiliation after death? Tell me, what is all this for?"

"You are blatant frame-up!"

Hearing this, West V finally couldn't hold back anymore and stood up again.

"That was 25 years ago, and the verdict was made after an investigation and sufficient evidence. What qualifications do you have to challenge the royal ruling, or what evidence do you have to support your delusions?"

"Delusional?"

However, in the face of West's fury and shouting, Ofariel remained calm. She held out a hand and pressed it against her chest.

"Indeed, I have no evidence to prove my mother's guilt. But, Boks, I hope to get an answer to my own experience, and I don't think it's too much to ask......... I just hope you'll tell me ......."

Saying this, Ofaryl's expression became sad.

"Why, at that time, you want to kill me?"

“―――！！！”

Offariel's crisp voice was like a boulder thrown into the water, and it immediately reverberated in the main hall with an extremely strong response.

"Her Royal Highness Princess O'Faryl, she really is Her Royal Highness Princess O'Faryl!!"

"She was murdered? she was murdered by His Majesty the King?!!"

"How is this possible? How is this possible?!!

"Your Highness, Princess, are you telling the truth?"

"Are you really Her Royal Highness the Princess? are you still alive?"

In the face of the nobles' inquiries, Ofariel shook his head very quietly.

"No, I'm not alive. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they saw Ofaril suddenly open her arms, and then, a faint soul light appeared from her side, and with the appearance of the soul light, her body suddenly became much more transparent.

"Now I am no longer a living person, and the only thing left in this world is my soul. ”

Offariel looked at the stunned nobles and explained quietly.

"On that day thirty years ago, I was already dead..............."

Saying this, Ofariel turned his head again and looked at West V, who at this time was pale, with fear, unease, and fear, looking at the girl in front of him.

"After you pushed me down that dry well, I had lost my last hope. Bokes, you said you wanted to go for a walk at night, and you said you wanted to go to the well with me, but I never thought that you would want to kill me......... Why? Why did you do that?"

"Stop, stop!!"

Hearing O'Faryl's voice at this moment, West V couldn't help but roar at all, and he had expected that this girl was nothing more than a person in disguise who resembled O'Faryl. However, just after Ofaril made it clear that he was no longer human, the last bit of luck in his heart was finally nipped in the bud.

"Nonsense!!It's nonsense!!"

"Your Majesty, please answer, is what Her Highness said true?"

"Your Majesty, we need to know the truth!"

"Please tell us the truth!!

At this moment, the nobles finally couldn't hold it anymore, in fact, after Ofaril announced her identity, instead of making people afraid, it made many nobles believe her statement. After all, the soul cannot be disguised, and if the soul of Her Royal Highness Princess Ofaril came here and really said so, then it means that this matter is true nine times out of ten!!

"Nonsense!presumptuous!!quiet!!quiet!!!"

West V looked at the boiling hall, but he could not say anything, he saw it in the eyes of the nobles, and saw the look of distrust. You don't believe in me! You don't believe in my abilities when my father is around! You don't believe in my talents! You only believe in my father, you only believe in Sister Wang! You only compare me to them!

"I don't know what you're talking about! Now, get out, the temple meeting is over!!"

West V was completely disorganized, and in the end, he had to roar, then turn around, and hurriedly leave the main hall.

"It seems that you are not getting the answer you were hoping for. ”

Yuren turned his head and looked at Ofaril, who smiled helplessly at him.

"Isn't that what you're hoping for?

"Alright, it's over, and it's time for us to go. ”

Yuren didn't answer O'Faryl's question, instead he just shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk out the door. Ofaril looked at his back, sighed softly, and planned to follow. But at this moment, I saw several nobles come forward and politely block her way.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Ofaril, do you remember us?"

"You are ............"

Offariel stared at the gray-bearded old men in front of him with some surprise, trying to find a trace of the passage of time on their faces.

"Lord Marquis Xiulan?"

"Now we are all Grand Dukes. ”

The old man, known as the Marquis of Xiulan, smiled bitterly, and then he looked at the girl in front of him, and asked with a solemn expression.

"Her Royal Highness Princess O'Fariel, may I ask ...... Will you come back this time, will you still lead us, will you continue to support this country?"

"I don't have that anymore. ”

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Ofaril smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Now, the king of West is not me, and I am no longer alive, and I have lost the power to direct the nation......... Now ..............."

As he spoke, Ofariel looked at Yuren's back, and there were a few more complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Now I'm just the head of the Knights of the Last Days, and the lieutenant of Lord Yuren, that's all. ”

Hearing this, the old nobles were stunned, they opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but they didn't know how to say it. Offariel didn't care about their reactions, she just bowed to the nobles again, and then turned to leave.

All the way out of the main hall, no one stopped him. Although the soldiers of the royal guard, according to their duties, should not let these two people leave the main hall. But within the guard, there are also many guards who know Princess Ofariel, who were just ordinary guards back then, but now, these people are already in high positions. They gave the order to force the guards to let them go, and in the end, the guards had to carry out the order, watching as Yuren and Ofariel stepped into the carriage again and left the palace.

And this was also the beginning of the turmoil in the Kingdom of West.

(To be continued)
