Chapter 105: Walking Alone on a Starry Night (Part II)

"Miss Long Ji has never forbade us to tell her story. "But this story is the biggest pain in her heart, and we don't want to uncover it in front of her." If you insist on looking for her, Lord Jonah, then sit down and listen to us before making a decision. ”

Jonah thought for a few seconds, nodded, and walked back to the room. Sibi immediately jumped over and grabbed his arm firmly, rubbed the tears on his face on the blue robe, and looked at the young man with a determined expression like a wounded little animal. Hannah breathed a sigh of relief, and Dennis Stewart touched the back of his head, not knowing what to do.

The unicorn paced lightly around the room, and the Rose Knight took a moment to organize the language before beginning to tell the story of the dragon queen. The early morning sunlight poured into the laboratory on the ninth floor of the "Pillar of Heaven" from the window, it was a crisp and transparent morning, Suiyang City was quiet, the early citizens gathered at the door to wait for the drum to open the door, the air of the Eastern Continent had a strange smell of rice, livestock, tea and incense, and during the time before Elliott spoke, the partners of the pitchfork looked out the window with their hearts, and they all felt the difference in the smell of this continent.

An apprentice appeared at the door and politely asked Jonah if he wanted breakfast, "Thank you if you don't bother." The boy replied absentmindedly. The apprentice bowed respectfully and went downstairs, and the hike up the ninth floor of the astrology tower was also a lot of manual labor, which may have been some kind of practice for the astrologer apprentice.

"When we first met, it was a starry late night. Elliot finally began his story, the graceful knight gazing into the distance, "In fact, the place where we first met was not far from here, on the banks of the Holy River 'Ancient Martyrdom.' There was just a war there. ”

"War, hasn't there been a war in the Eastern Continent for a long time?" Danny wondered.

"In terms of scale, it should just be a fight. "But no matter how you look at it, the scene looks more like a war." ”

On November 9, 2277 in the continental calendar, on the eastern continent, on the north bank of the holy river "Ancient Difficulty", the continent came to an end, the strange rocky landform was cut off by the turbulent holy river, the dark clouds gathered above the wide river, thunder rolled in the clouds, and lightning illuminated the dark green boiling water again and again. This is the fourth day of the ancient rapids of the Holy River, and every aboriginal on the north bank of the Holy River knows that this high tide will not end anytime soon, and this elusive holy river is giving vent of its amazing power, let alone crossing the water, and even approaching the river will be swept away by the storm.

A flash of pink lightning illuminates the sky, reflecting the silhouette of the knight standing in the mountains. The storm only shrouded the ancient waters of the holy river, and after walking fifty yards in the direction of the riverbank, the wind and rain miraculously disappeared, and Elliot raised his head, looked at the countless stars and the bright moon in the sky, and sighed softly. He was holding a person in his hand, a woman, a woman wearing a black night suit, black hair and black eyes, the woman's eyes, ears, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding blood at the same time, her pupils had dilated, and life was passing quickly from her body. A terrifying wound cut open her abdomen, almost cutting off the woman's waist, "Blessing life!" The white light lit up on the horns of the unicorn, and the holy healing magic enveloped the woman, the knight frowned, feeling that his strength was being withdrawn in large quantities, and the woman in his arms was like a leaky inflatable doll, no matter how much energy was injected, it would flow away immediately. Grim Reaper Usang had already taken her left hand, and no force in the world could pull her back from the Yellow Springs Road.

The unicorn raised its head and whined into the moonlight, "May your soul return to heaven and return to the warm embrace of the Lord God, Shira, unknown miss." The Rose Knight hung his head deeply. The unicorn slowly knelt on the ground, the knight gently placed the woman's body on the ground, and the black-haired woman's godless eyes looked at the sky, her frozen pupils full of attachment and reluctance. A bouquet of silver roses fell from her right hand and fell into the blood-soaked soil, "We will take back the silver roses that we didn't send, I'm sorry......" Elliott slammed his right fist on his chest and saluted, picking up the silver rose and turning his head to look in the other direction. Just five yards away, a man with a pierced chest was prostrate trying to stretch his arms as if to crawl in the direction of the woman, and with the last heavy gasp, he also hung his head.

This was Elliott Casfield's first trip after inheriting the name of the Rose Knight. The previous generation of Rose Knights, his beloved father, had slept peacefully in the mist of Yunmengze, and in order to give away the second silver rose, his father had gone deep into the unpredictable wetland area and never left. When the lucky porter told him the news, Elliot nodded calmly, asked where his father was buried, silently marked the map, and then said goodbye to his scattered people and set out on a journey of wandering. The descendants of the King of the Red Plains have lived a wandering life since their exile, and the new generation of Rose Knights did not search for their father's grave, knowing that dying on the way to deliver the Silver Rose would be the most glorious end of the Rose Knights' lives. The cursed fate of the Casfields makes them have to survive in the form of a trinity, and once an individual dies, it is the time of the death of the group, which causes each generation of Rose Knights to have a short lifespan, and to be able to obtain momentary glory in a short life, isn't this the meaning of survival?

Elliott crossed the Liangsui Kingdom, and traveled south through the Southern Shang Kingdom to the north bank of the Holy River Gunan, wanting to cross the river to the southern continent, his destination was the East, the former land, the hometown he had never returned to in this life. But his fate was completely changed by this night, and when he reached the bank of the river, it was late at night, and a war had just ended, and the Rose Knight stepped on a hill and saw the moonlight illuminating a wide valley and countless corpses in front of the rolling clouds.

The corpses were strewn across the ground, every inch of the earth was soaked in blood, and the dead were men and women, old and young, dressed in similar black night clothes, and there were many strong men in terms of appearance and weapons, but there were only two causes of death: being killed with a sharp weapon and being scorched by the flames. Elliott's eyes drifted over the corpses, unable to bear to look closely at the shattered dead. Barely a single corpse was intact, legs, feet, heads, loins, chests, swords, shields, spears, spears, and clubs could not resist a single blow from the enemy, and the burnt corpses, melted metal, steaming magma that had not yet condensed showed the temperature of the flames, and the unicorn's front hooves stepped on a black fire that had not yet been extinguished, Elliot was startled and felt the tyrannical and incomparable power of the infernal flames, the flames of hell that only a true devil could grasp.

The knight slowly made his way through the valley, trying to find survivors to rescue, and as he progressed deeper into the battlefield, he came to a frightening conclusion: the same men had killed them. How powerful can a person with sharp weapons and flames be? And where did these unknown dead come from? The holy river "Ancient Tribulation" has entered a high tide period, and the murderer must not be able to cross it, so where is he now?

At this moment, the elf hovered up from behind and touched Elliott's cheek with its fluff, and it felt a faint fluctuation in life. The knight immediately galloped in that direction, and found a dying woman at the edge of the valley, "Are you alright, miss, and we'll help you!" said the Rose Knight, white and purple magical lights illuminating in turn, breathing life into the wounded. The woman sat down on the rock, opened her eyes and gasped with difficulty: "Where is that, that person?"

"Are you asking the enemy? We don't see any sign of him, we must have gone far. Please don't talk too much. Elliott looked at the wound in the woman's abdomen and was secretly surprised, the unicorn knelt down, he leaned down and pulled out a bandage to try to close the wound, but the blood gushed out uncontrollably, and magic and medicine could not stop the injury from getting worse.

"Haha, it's a long way off, okay...... As long as he, as long as he doesn't return to the Eastern Continent......" The pale-faced woman chuckled, and suddenly her eyes widened: "What about my brother? Have you seen my twelfth brother? He is the second team, he should be nearby!"

The Rose Knight shook his head: "I'm sorry, Miss, we don't know who you're talking about. Please don't speak......" He saw the sudden flush on the injured person's face, and understood that this was already the last flame of life burning, and she only had a few minutes left to live, so he lowered his gaze, trying not to let the other party see the sadness in his eyes: "If you can describe the appearance, we can help you find this gentleman." ”

"Brother Twelve, my brother is a little man, with a round face, two dimples, he is a fool!So many times, I waited for him to say something, he only knew that he was stupidly happy not to speak, really......" The woman raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her face was as ruddy as a brilliant sunset.

A strange sensation spread through the body of the Rose Knight, who plucked the silver rose from behind his cloak and noticed that the roses that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Casfield family were emitting a soft silver glow. Without hesitation, he bowed his head and placed his right hand on his chest: "This young lady, we, Elliot Cassfield, the Rose Knight, are willing to make an oath to you as the representative of the Silver Rose, and to help you send this rose to your lover without fear of any danger." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about. The woman smiled sweetly and took the rose, "But this flower is so beautiful, I want to show it to the twelfth brother." ”

The pact was made, but it only lasted four minutes. Elliot used all her strength to find the mortally wounded man, but both men and women lingered at the entrance to the kingdom of heaven, and the distance of five hundred yards was far greater than the rest of the world. With the last good hopes, the woman lost her life in his saddle, the light of the silver rose was extinguished, and the bridge of love shattered like glass before the iron law of the god of death.

The Rose Knight was silent. He picked up the rose from the bloodstains, treasured it, and plucked the rifle from the saddle, intending to dig a grave for the regretful couple. At this moment, a cold voice sounded: "You are his subordinate, come, fight!"
