Chapter 357: Night Talk (I)

The night is low, and the silver moon is in the sky.

Pale and cold moonlight shrouded the Rose Manor. The night breeze blows, the dark shadows of the trees sway, like ghosts with teeth and claws, and the white-toothed crickets sing like ghosts whispering, weaving and talking about one intrigue after another, vowing to climb out of the grave of history.

Victor rested his hands on the intricately carved window frames and gazed out at the shadowy courtyard. He seemed to be in a mist-shrouded uninhabited wilderness, unable to see the direction of progress, but there were shadows around him step by step, and anxiety and hesitation inevitably arose in his heart.

The demise of the Chosen One, the fall of the Assyrian Empire, the migration of the forest men, the sudden attack of Ant-Man, and the ancient prophecies of the barbarians all seem to be signs of a strong enemy and a catastrophe. And he doesn't know anything about the future, he doesn't know whether his opponents are humans or ghosts, he doesn't know them, or them, or their real intentions, he doesn't know when the changes will start and when they will end, and he doesn't know what role he is playing, so he is helpless.

Victor wants to find out what happened in the timeline, but there is a huge fault in history, and all his speculations are based on hearsay that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and the only clue that can be verified so far is the color-changing dye of the Brotherhood of Kamen.

Unverifiable speculations are meaningless and meaningless, commonly known as brain supplements. And self-brain supplementation is often 108,000 miles away from the truth, as if, Victor told his henchmen that he had inherited the legacy of a certain big man, and they took it for granted that alchemy humans were all dead soldiers secretly cultivated by ancient families.

Huaguo Xianyun: A gentleman is cautious, the difference is like a millimeter, and the error is thousands of miles.

The truth is very profound, but if people don't think crankily, what is the difference between it and salted fish?

After listening to Konstantin's story, Victor couldn't help but think about it, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, the more he was afraid, the more he was afraid, the more he was afraid, the more he was afraid, his heart trembled, his eyes were uncertain, and his expression was gloomy and heavy.

"What makes my love so worried and afraid?"

A slender white hand rested on his shoulder, and Victor turned his head to see Sylvia's pure blue eyes, which contained a playful smile and just the right amount of concern, which made him relaxed and warm.

"I don't dare to say. Victor said jokingly.

"Hmph. Sylvia snorted lightly in displeasure, turned back to the couch, crossed her legs together, and crossed her arms and said, "Aren't you just suspecting that the first Pope was also a Chosen One?

Victor smiled slightly, "Honey, you already knew?"

"Nope. Sylvia shook her head and said, "It's also the first time I've heard that the church has worked with the Mage Council...... But what if you know? It's just a historical story, and it doesn't change anything. No one wants a wizard to climb on the head of a knight again. As long as the Church adheres to the Radiant Code and respects the nobility of the knights, we will always support the Church. ”

Victor sat down beside Sylvia and sighed, "I'm worried about the impending disaster...... Or a strong enemy. ”

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "You're worried about this?!You're scared by a story?"

Victor's face was hot, and he defended: "Mount Arrett is a forbidden place, the barbarians are strong, brave and good at fighting, they face unknown opponents, and they still have to prepare for the worst, aren't you worried?"

Sylvia smiled and said, "My dear, who do you see worrying about besides you?"

It doesn't seem to be ...... Ignorant fearless, are the enemies of the Alchemy Empire monsters in the ordinary sense of the word?Unfortunately, I can't find out with you...... Victor sighed, shook his head, and said, "You all think that the Pope and Grand Master's speculation must not be true?"

"What did they deduce? Disaster or strong enemy? Is it the disaster of our human kingdom or the disaster of Mount Arret? Is it our human adversary or is it the opponent of the barbarians? what kind of adversary, how many, what characteristics? When does the calamity happen? Where does it happen? You see, they don't know anything, do we need to worry? What is the use of us worrying?"

"But ......"

"No, but. Sylvia stretched out her slender hand to block Victor's mouth, and said softly, "I'm sorry, dear, you have not received a knightly education, and I shouldn't laugh at you for being cowardly." ”

Sylvia stood up, took off the shield and sword from the wall, and said proudly: "The knight should hold the sword and hold the shield, kill the enemy with the sword, and protect the body with the shield." The sword and shield represent the will to fight, resist bullying, and strive for victory. We have many adversaries, and we have endured numerous disasters. When we open up our territory, in the eyes of our opponents, we are not a disaster? Therefore, our sword is always sharp, and our shield is always strong, indicating that we will never give in, and we will always be vigilant. ”

Victor was fascinated by Silvia's sword and shield, and he paused and asked, "What if the enemy is too strong to be defeated?"

"There is no such thing. Sylvia pulled her sword and raised her hands, and the sword and shield fluttered lightly on the clasp of the wall, without a single clash.

"I have glimpsed the mysteries of the Elemental Sea, the world has its own laws, no living creature is invincible, and no race can last forever. Sylvia sat down on the sofa and said with a smile: "We have never been weak, if the enemy comes, we will annihilate them, if we can't annihilate them, then with the help of the castle, slowly consume them, if the castle can't hold it...... Won't we run away? The world is so vast that we can't hide there? If we don't even run away, we can only turn back and fight, and even if we die on the spot, what are we afraid of?"

"I never let the knights of the clan carry out mortal missions, but if we really encounter a strong enemy that cannot be defeated, I will sacrifice the exiles first, then the vassals of the family, and then the ordinary nobles, trainee knights, and knights...... With the strength of a high-ranking knight, can't you survive?Honey, you have to remember that survival is always the most important!" Sylvia looked serious, and when she saw Victor's stunned appearance, she couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Don't worry, even if you run for your life, I will take you with me." ”

Civilized people in modern society have been peaceful for a long time, and when they hear that the end is near, it seems that the sky is about to fall. But the humans of this world are always fighting for survival. Centaurs, ogres, bear monsters, half-goats, gnolls, goblins, barbarians, ant-men, which is not a formidable competitor? For more than 10,000 years, humans have remained one of the most powerful and resilient races.

When the Ant-Man army attacked the hill camp, no one in the camp was so frightened that they cried wolf howls, and their hands and feet were weak, and even the peasant women silently picked up their children and fled from the back hill of the camp. They were prepared for disaster.

The Alchemy Empire perished, but humanity survived. No matter how strong the unknown enemy is? With my strength, where can't I settle down? It's a big deal to hide in the mountains and forests like a goblin and live a life of drinking blood, and as long as I live, I will have a chance to make a comeback...... It's a shame to look like I'm shivering! I'm not as good as a woman...... Well, I'm really inferior to the Spirit Knight.

Thinking of this, the gloom in his chest dissipated, and the pressure suddenly disappeared, Victor shook his head and smiled: "We don't do this like the heroes of the epic......"

Sylvia groaned and asked, "What do you think is a hero?"

"Paladin Fahild, someone who dares to sacrifice?" asked Victor tentatively.

"Dare to sacrifice is a hero? Maybe a hot-headed fool. Sylvia raised her eyebrows and said, "In my opinion, those who dare to stick to their hearts are heroes. ”

"His Highness Fahild, as a powerful Golden Knight, is by no means a reckless fool. When Fahild came into contact with the Assyrian Empire, the human kingdom was also exposed to the Assyrian vision. The Assyrian emperor's cruelty of sacrificing the blood of his compatriots completely angered Fahild and made him realize the great threat of the Assyrian Empire to the human kingdom, so he wanted to destroy the Assyrian Empire with the help of ant colonies. ”

"I believe that Ephalde's strength and wisdom were fully prepared before he made a move, and it was by no means a death operation. But no one can be sure that the plan is foolproof, but now that the choice has been made, there is nothing to regret whether you win or lose. ”

"Fahild wanted to destroy the Assyrian Empire, so he took action. He was a hero praised by mankind, but a devil hated by the Assyrians. But he is dead, what does the praise or curse of the living have to do with him? ”

"The Golden Knight adheres to his heart, is his own hero, does not get confused, does not waver, and the heart is the faith, is the knight's unswerving path. ”

Sylvia asked with burning eyes, "What is your belief, my dear?"

"I ...... I haven't figured it out yet. Victor muttered.

"It doesn't matter, it takes time to build a strong conviction. Sylvia smiled gracefully, "Now, you have to do what you can." For example, not to be fooled by the story of Konstantin. ”

"Confused?" Victor asked in surprise, "Do you think the story told by Konstantin is fake?"
