“……”

Nicholas's cheeks twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

"You don't, you just want to make a living." Leon pursed the corners of his lips, "Didn't you want to help the Wizard Tower repair?"

Then you should take action! ”

"I ......"

Nicholas stammered, his face flushed, but he couldn't refute it.

It was true that he was just running away from the calamity, and he didn't even think about helping the Wizard Tower.

Maybe it's because there is still a trace of luck left in his heart, and luckily the evil gods will fail, and he can continue to live.

"You'd better go back to sleep, Nicholas." Leon waved his hand, "When I come back from the Demon Realm, I hope you can still stand." ”

“……”

Nicholas was silent for a long time, sighed, slowly took two steps back, and bowed to Leon, "Good luck, Mr. Leon." ”

"Goodbye."

Li Ang waved his hand without looking back, got into the carriage, and disappeared around the corner.

Nicholas froze in place, watching the carriage go away, and finally turned into a little black dot, gradually blurring.

The aura on this young man's body was similar to his own, but it was completely different.

Nicholas knew his name.

Leon.

Legendary Knight.

The young knight is said to have an almost perverted talent, with unpredictable and terrifying abilities.

During one of his adventures, he single-handedly broke down the Demon Gate and saved an entire city of wizards.

If this had not been the case, the current chief priest of the Church of the Light would have been the knight.

Unfortunately, after saving an entire city, Leon left alone.

He was reluctant to stay in the Temple, and even changed his surname to the code name "Demon Hound", which of course was not his real name.

Led by this powerful knight, a group of humans and beasts enslaved by demons reinvigorate and crush the attacks of the demon legions.

But this is limited to the human realm, and to evil demons, humans are just food, like ants that eat a grain of sand and don't care.

Led by the young knight, humans and beasts unite to fire flares around the world.

The demon army is warned to stop the attack.

Although it was temporarily calm, every three or five months, a fierce war broke out, and both sides were counting in the hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Demons don't give any captives, not even low-level demons. They usually tear enemies apart and devour them, use bones and muscle tissue to make armor, or make specimens to place in their nests.

Humans and wild animals burned the carcasses and buried them in the soil to make the land fertile for food and other agricultural crops.

This lasted for six years.

As the number of demon armies became smaller and smaller, the Church of Light gradually recovered, and coupled with the proliferation of humans and beasts, the population grew larger and larger, and its strength expanded rapidly.

Finally, in a fateful battle, the Holy See gained the upper hand and wiped out all the demonic armies.

But it was also at this time that the evil god came!

Not only do the gods wield great power, they also wield the most powerful plague in the world, capable of destroying a town in an instant.

In that war, the gods used evil spells to summon a vast army of plagues that ravaged the continent.

At that time, the people were almost desperate, but fortunately, a brave knight stepped forward and single-handedly defeated the demon legions and killed the Lord of the Plague, saving people's lives.

But he was badly wounded, dying, and carried to the Wizard's Tower.

There, pharmacists, who had poor medical conditions, spent several times as much energy to heal his injuries.

However, his condition is still terrible, with a large number of eggs hiding under his scarred skin, which is disrupting blood circulation and causing the wound to worsen.

With the doctors helpless, he opted for poison and prepared to trade his death for the recovery of the Wizard Tower.

However, at a critical moment, a female wizard from Isaacs County saves him.

She is an alchemist who is proficient in all kinds of potions, as well as healing and expelling evil magic, and is the only one who can save this man.

The kindness of this lady makes the man grateful. He told the witch the story about the Wizard's Tower, hoping that she would bring these secrets out so that more people could be saved.

The witch said that she understood that she would study the secrets of the wizard's tower as soon as possible, and make this wealth known to the public to relieve the people's crisis.

The man nodded in relief and closed his eyes to recuperate, ready for the impending death.

But at this moment, the Wizard Tower suddenly trembled and made a rumbling sound.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the top of the tower has collapsed again?"

"Run!"

People panicked and fled in all directions.

However, at this moment, above the top of the tower, stone slabs with flashing silver arcs suddenly appeared.

"What's that?"

"Like...... It's a hollow door. ”

"Open it, don't let it fall!"

"No...... It's not an ordinary door, it contains a lot of power, and it has to be pushed open with great force......"

"Hurry up!"

"I can't, which of you is on!"

People were anxiously urging.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly lit up above the stone gate, and a majestic and vast aura spread out, filling the entire tower.

Immediately after, a huge roar sounded.

With the violent shock, the stone gate was knocked into the air and smashed to the ground.

Dusty.

Everyone was stunned.

Out of the smoke, a tall and burly figure came out.

He wears rough black armor and a hood that obscures part of his face.

“…… It's him? ”

The man froze, his pupils constricting suddenly.

In that distant memory, that tall back was forever imprinted in the depths of his mind.

This figure is his benefactor, a great knight!

But isn't he dead?

How did he end up here?

The man looked at the figure in amazement.

, a heart thumping.

It was as if he heard the cheers ringing in his ears.

Those are the people of the Church of Light.

They worship knights, love heroes, and regard knights as gods, and at this moment, they let out a cry of joy.

"Bless us with the Light! The knight is back! ”

"Long live the knight!"

The knight slowly turned his head, revealing a strange, familiar face.

His face was pale and weak, his lips were chapped, and his cloudy eyes were full of confusion.

His body shook a few times and fell to the ground.

"Quick...... Help me through. ”

"Oh!"

The man rushed over, knelt at the knight's feet, helped him, and carried him into the room.

Before he fell unconscious, he faintly heard the witch's anxious voice, "Your Excellency Knight...... Wake up......"

……

“…… You're awake. ”
