"My story?"

Hearing this, Yulian raised his eyebrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"My story is long, and it's ......... That's not necessarily the part you want to know. ”

"You said it yourself. ”

Ofaril didn't say much, just looked at him like that, and then Yuren smiled bitterly and raised his hand.

"All right, Miss O'Fariel.................. Before that, I want to ask you a question. ”

At this point, Yuren paused, and then he looked at Offariel strangely.

"What kind of existence do you think a knight is?"

"What kind of existence?"

This question was really a bit unexpected for O'Faryl, so she was not prepared for Yulian's inquiry, so our princess had to frown, and after thinking carefully for a while, she gave an answer with some uncertainty.

"Very strong. ”

"What else?"

"This............ It seems that there is no more. ”

Ofaril carefully recalled the people around him who had the strength of knights, except that they were a little stronger, they didn't seem to be any special different from others.

"Actually, there is, you just don't feel it. ”

Yulian sighed softly, and then, a smile appeared on his lips.

"I think you also know that the strength of the knights comes from their faith, but what else you don't know is that the knights have to pay a price for this belief. With this, Yulian raised his hand and made a strange gesture. "It's not that a person who carries out his beliefs to the end can gain soul power and become a knight. You should also understand that it is not easy for people to implement their beliefs, but it is not difficult. After all, everyone has their own persistence, everyone has their own part of their heart that needs to be guarded, and they also have their reasons for survival. The so-called belief seems to be very complicated to manifest, but there are so many things, and they are nothing more than these things. Not to mention the swordsman, among whom it is not uncommon to give their lives to the sword, but only one percent of them can become knights, do you know why? Do you know how knights are born?"

“..................”

Offariel didn't answer, and though she didn't know what Yuren was saying about him, she didn't interject, but listened quietly.

"There is only one reason, and that is that they are chosen people, who have attracted attention and signed contracts with their strong convictions and wills. ”

As he spoke, Yulian stretched out his arms and looked at the night sky.

"A contract with this world. ”

Hearing this muffled speech, Ofariel didn't know why she trembled, and the air around her, as if sensing something at this moment, blew a light breeze, as if just now, here, something unknown had responded to Yulian's words.

"Belief must have a root, just as human action must have a purpose, and the source of faith in each of us knights is what we need to maintain. And it was in exchange for this that we signed a contract with this world, and then gained the power of knights. Every knight is like that. ”

"So, what happens if the knight doesn't keep the contract?"

Hearing this, Ofariel couldn't help but ask curiously.

"In the most serious case, you will die. ”

Yulian replied categorically.

"The strength of a knight comes from himself, from his own beliefs, and at the same time from the root of his beliefs, the part that we can never give up. If we abandon what we are looking for, then the knight who has lost his power will face only a dead end. So, for the knights, our souls also lost their value in that instant. According to the contract, the world will not hesitate to reclaim our souls, in your words, back to the river of Mana, to be part of the earth. ”

With that, Yuren lowered his head and looked at Ofaril with a smile.

"Remember Judy's massacre of the Morbis family's coalition? ”

"You mean to say......... Miss Judy's belief is rooted in the fact that she wants to destroy the Morbius family, so she has to do it, and if she doesn't, then she will be wiped out?"

Hearing this, Ofaryl couldn't help but squint her eyes.

"Yes and no. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders and gave an ambiguous answer.

"If this really kills them, then I think Judy will be happy to disobey it. After all, they are now bound souls, unable to rest on their own. If they can die out if they go against their beliefs, then they are happy to do so. But it's a pity that the power of that evil spell has obviously surpassed the contract, in fact, before this, Judy and the others have tried, but in the end they get the pain of life is worse than death, their souls will be torn apart by the power of the contract, but the power of the revenant spell will forcibly restrain them, not allowing them to dissolve into the river of Mana, so in the end, they have to find a new faith goal and source, and restore the contract again. Otherwise, they will completely collapse under this painful torment. ”

At this, Yulian paused, and then he smiled, his face a little silent.

"Now you understand why I almost never let Messiah and Semiya leave me alone unless I had to. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Offariel was taken aback, as if she had just noticed something, and looked at Yuren.

"So, my lord, it was because of ........."

"Breaking the contract is punishable, and in the most serious cases, death, but it is not a certainty, but pain is indispensable. Some contracts are very vague, while others are very specific, so it depends. ”

You Lian lowered his head, and the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth was now hidden in the darkness and disappeared.

"They are my sweetest children, my favorite sisters, and my favorite daughters. Miss O'Fariel, you may be a little confused by this complicated relationship, but it is true, and I don't want them to be hurt, let alone suffer...... After all, they have already suffered too much. ”

The icy night wind whistled by, bringing only sleep and silence under the darkness of the night.

"I know what you're thinking, Miss O'Fariel, it's true that I was born a long time ago, when I was just an ordinary person on this continent. But, unlike many people, from that time on, I had a goal worth pursuing, and a belief that was rooted in it. I've been working hard for this, making a lot of friends and making a lot of enemies. This situation has remained unchanged until now, and I have no hope of changing, and the things I hope for now and the same thing as I did before will always be the same. ”

Saying this, Yulian spread his hands.

"I didn't have a lot of power before, but now I do, but even so, I don't have any intention of changing my thoughts and goals. My story is full of all this boring stuff, and as for the specifics, I'm sorry, Miss O'Faryl, it's a secret. At least for now. What I can tell you is that seventy years ago, I led the Knights of the Last Yan to fight on this continent, and as for what we did, if you look at history, you should be able to find the answer. ”

That's true.

O'Faryl didn't answer Julien's question, and there was no need for it, as the former first princess, she naturally knew the historical materials inside the palace by heart, and she was also very clear about the history of the Last Knights, but this was not the answer she hoped for. Because the more he remembered, the more surprised O'Faryl became, after all, no matter how you looked at it, the actions taken by the Knights of the Last Dead did not seem to have any special position. But just now, Yulian said that as knights, they all have unshakable roots of faith, which is obviously far from the wavering style of the Knights of the End. But after thinking about it, O'Farriel couldn't figure out what kind of root belief was at work.

"Lord Yuren, .........what is the root of your beliefs?"

"There's only one thing I can tell you now, Miss O'Faryl. ”

As he spoke, Yulian raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him with a serious and solemn expression.

"Everything I do is for the sake of this continent and the peace of this world. ”

At this point, he paused, then added three words.

"By the way. ”

“...........................”

Perhaps because the contrast between the front and back was too great, O'Faryl's eyes widened for a while, but he couldn't say half a word. At this time, Yulian was already very gracefully bowed to her, and then turned away.

"It's late at night, Miss O'Fariel, rest early, and have a good night's sleep, then. ”

Offariel stood there completely, staring blankly at Yuren's back disappearing into the darkness, and after a long time, she seemed to come back to her senses, wait, what was going on just now? I obviously wanted this adult to tell him about his previous experience, but what was the matter? Is the teaching of knightly faith popular?

"Yuren-sama, you ........."

Looking at Yulian's back, which was already far away, Ofaril first subconsciously raised her voice, wanting to stop him, but in the end, she still smiled helplessly.

Although Yu Lian didn't say it explicitly, his attitude was very clear, and the past was obviously not something he could know. In fact, although Euphariel had been mentally prepared when Yuren said that he reserved the right not to answer, she didn't expect that this lord would be so omitted, and she also inexplicably moved out of a knight teaching and put herself in. But......... Ofariel raised an eyebrow, but finally a steady-grinning smile appeared on her face. It was clear that Yuren had already guessed what she was thinking, and in fact, the so-called listening to the story was nothing more than an excuse. O'Faryl just wanted to use this to deduce Yuren's thoughts and his position, after all, the current Yuren is no longer the little nobleman he pretended to be before, without any background. Although he and Larry Bode are both flickering, Ofariel is very smart, and naturally he has already seen that this adult has absolutely powerful strength, and he has his own clear goals and objectives!

So, what exactly is this?

Yuren did not give a clear answer, but he did give an answer as well.

"The roots of the knight's faith are absolute. ”

Was that the answer she was hoping for?

Offariel didn't know, but at least she was much more relieved.

After all, she is no longer the princess of West, nor is she the heir to the throne......... Then, Lord Yuren, let me follow you and let me see with my own eyes what the source of your faith is like.

Thinking of this, Ofariel raised her head, combed her long hair, and then cast her gaze into the night sky.

Under the dark night, the shining starlight has gathered into a vast galaxy at this moment, flowing slowly.

On the other side, there is also a young girl, staring at this sea of stars.

"Her Royal Highness. ”

A female officer half-knelt behind the girl, raised her head in a low voice, and said uneasily.

"It's late at night, and it's time for you to rest...... Your Royal Highness, you have a daughter's body, but you must take care. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Shirley. ”

Lintillot nodded slightly, but did not look away from herself.

"I was just making a very difficult decision, but now I can't make this decision right away......... But I know I'll do it sooner or later. ”

“.....................”

The female officer did not speak, but lowered her head and stared at the ground.

"I know that wars will kill and wound, and that people will lose their beloved fathers, husbands, and sons forever. But, after all, this is war, and I have no power to stop my father's will, so the only thing I can do is to minimize our losses. Let their loved ones be able to return to their homes more often. ”

With that, Lintillot stood up, as if she had finally made a decision.

"Shirley. ”

"Yes. ”

"Immediately pass my order to the Black Bird, and order her to instigate Wester V to send troops to attack the Twilight Forest at all costs! ”

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

Hearing this, the female officer raised her head in surprise.

"After all, the current situation ............"

Of course, Lintillot knew what her female officer wanted to say, and at the moment, the entire kingdom of West knew very well that only Yuren and his Knights of the Last could defend themselves against the attack of the Four Generals of Damnation, and now tearing their faces with each other, no monarch with a little sanity would make such a decision. But Julien's hint is also very clear to her, Charlotte's words are "He will not leave the Red Fortress without any accidents" This sentence is very simple to understand, as long as there is any accident, then the Knights of the End will evacuate the Red Fortress.

So, what kind of accident is it?

The answer is self-explanatory.

After all, just a few days ago, Yulian had just announced that the Knights of the Last would reclaim the Twilight Forest, and Lyntilot naturally knew about it. Well, Yulian actually meant very clearly, if something happened to the Twilight Forest, they would evacuate the army. However, this accident must be completed with your cooperation. As for how to accomplish it, it's your business, and it's none of my business.

This was the dilemma that Lintillot faced.

The Knights of the End are powerful, but it was seventy years ago after all, and it is not yet known how much strength is left. However, just by virtue of the defeat of the Wind Messenger in the previous battle with one of the opponent's talented knights, it can be inferred that the combat effectiveness of the Knights of the End is likely to be no less than their own, then, in the case of a head-to-head encounter, the Sith Empire will undoubtedly pay a huge price, and as for whether it can get results, it is difficult to say.

And the reason why Yulian put forward such a condition is obviously that he does not want to directly fight with the Sith Empire, perhaps because he is afraid of revealing his strength, after all, if the Knights of the End retreat for no reason, then for the other countries on the continent, its threat is not so sufficient. However, if they evacuate because their base has been attacked by the protected, then the Knights of the End will be invincible in every way. They can evacuate "decently" without revealing their strength, while still maintaining the fear of the Knights of the End from the nations on the continent.

Of course, Lintillot could also launch a strong attack and collide with the Knights of the End, but the consequences were unpredictable. In any case, the other party has gifted knights, which means that the strength of both sides of the war is not tilted, but equal, under such a premise, if any of the four gifted knights of the Sith Empire has an accident, it means that the prestige and deterrence of the Sith Empire will decrease. This is a risk that the Sith Empire cannot afford, after all, the Knights of the End are just a force, but the Sith Empire is a country, and any decision may have a profound impact on the people of the entire empire.

Julien Felix.

What is this man thinking?

Lyntillot shook her head, leaving the doubts in her mind.

"Of course I know that this is a difficult task to accomplish. However, this is a condition given to us by the other party, and if we want to be able to attack the Red Fortress smoothly, then we must agree to this condition............" Lintilott's face became a little complicated, she bit her lip, and her delicate face showed uneasiness and helplessness. "Hopefully, that gentleman can keep his promise and let us work together perfectly for this show. ”
