Chapter 296: [The Wolf's End]
The world is back in darkness.
Lin Ye waited patiently.
At some point, I heard the wheezing of a beast, and a little light appeared in my vision, and a wolf in the twilight slowly walked in front of the forest.
“……”
"Human, you answer me, why did Ravenwood leave the city-state he favored?" The old wolf stared at the forest with cloudy green eyes, and asked the old man.
"Because he didn't find his place in the city-state." Lin Ye said.
"He's a man, and he's different from a wolf, I know. Humans need walls, they need houses, they need communication between people, and I'm just a wolf. The old wolf said.
Lin Ye recalled how Ravenwood's heart felt after the death of the old wolf, and said softly.
"Not really......"
Lin Ye substituted Ravenwood's personal feelings, and explained the old wolf's misunderstanding from the perspective of a bystander.
After a long time, the old wolf spoke.
"Thank you, human, one of my heart's wishes, has been fulfilled."
"One?"
"Ravenwood buried my sword on my back on the outskirts of the city-state, where my spirit rested, and a young man found it. The boy has the same grit and bravery as Ravenwood, and he gives a different answer than you. ”
He said he left because Mondstadt no longer needed his guard.
Lin Ye was silent, and didn't ask the old wolf which one he believed more.
"He inherited Ravenwood's will to protect the city-state, so I recognize him as qualified to use that sword."
"In the end he died, and the sword went around and went back into the lord's hands."
"There are three trials in total, the first trial, I only ask for an answer, the second trial ......" The old wolf's dark green beast eyes flickered with cold light, and it began to retreat, and the light shrank with it.
"You need to prove whether you have the strength to hold the sword."
When the light shrank to one point, followed by the sound of "Peng", a dark red male fire ignited all around, scorching and clear.
The sound of armor clashing sounded.
Lin Ye saw that a knight was walking towards him, and in his hand, the knight was carrying a dark red sword.
Wolf's End: The greatsword used by the wolf's knight. It was originally just a heavy piece of iron given by the blacksmith in the city, but in his friendship with the wolf, he gained fabulous power.
Ravenwood, the knight of the north wind praised by the people of Mondstadt, and before that, he was the knight of the wolf.
Needless to say, Lin Ye knew that he was going to fight.
The Thousand Rock Ancient Sword was held in his hand, and it was commanding and imposing.
Thanks to the first trial, Lin Ye knew Ravenwood's fighting style inside out. The wolf knight is never fearless, and treats the enemy like a wolf hunting, deadly pursuit.
Then, Lin Ye will not retreat.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
Ravenwood's expression was indifferent, like a machine, but at the moment of battle, his posture was agile and stunning, showing the splendor of the greatsword users of that era.
A warrior who accompanies wild beasts, his style often shows a fierce, resolute, and instinctive side.
Sword after sword, biting Lin Ye like sharp teeth and not letting go.
Lin Ye, who has the talent of [fighting], is savage, and is not inferior to Ravenwood.
The confrontation between the two was electric and flint, and the collision of the big sword was a flood bell, and it was sharp, and it was agitated and vibrating.
Ravenwood's strength matched that of Lin Ye, who did not use the Ghost State and the Vision of God, and he competed with the pure physics of the Wolf Knight with his martial arts talent mastered with his two-handed sword, the sword skills he learned from Izumitai, and the experience he had learned on his own in battle.
Eventually, with a scream from the woods, a sword stabbed Ravenwood in the abdomen and pierced through.
The heavy sword has no edge, which shows how much strength Lin Ye used.
Ravenwood's distracted eyes lit up, and he smiled contentedly.
It then dissipates.
At this time, the forest was covered in bruises, and the wolf knight's battle experience entered his mind.
Lin Ye shuddered suddenly, and he found himself standing in place, his injuries completely gone, and the old wolf stood opposite him.
At this time, Lin Ye saw the dark red sword stuck in the ground behind the old wolf's back.
"The second trial, achieved."
Lin Ye asked while experiencing the wolf knight's combat experience.
"For the third trial, I need a commitment from you."
"Promise?"
"I still believe that Ravenwood guards the city-state, guarding that verdant place, from the heart, when my body dies, and my spirit attaches to the sword to guard the city-state in his place."
"Thirty years after Ravenwood left, I had a dream that I hadn't had in a long time, and wolves would dream too."
"I dreamed of the old man with white hair dying at the sword of a black knight, and I recognized the old man at a glance as my companion Ravenwood."
"You want me to get revenge?" Lin Ye asked.
The old wolf shook his head.
"Before Ravenwood died, he was crying out for Mondstadt to be wary of the Black Knight who had fallen into the abyss, and this Black Knight would eventually come to Mondstadt, and when the time came, it would be a disaster for Mondstadt."
"Black Knight? Disaster?" Lin Ye frowned, he searched his memory, looking for relevant information.
"I need a promise from you, when the Black Knight who killed Ravenwood comes to the city-state, I want you to help protect the city-state."
"What if I casually say yes and don't help when the time comes?"
"No, having guarded the city-state for so long, I have gained some kind of magical ability, I can see a certain line from you, you have a connection with this land, just like me." The old wolf said.
As the old wolf's words fell, Lin Ye suddenly saw that the old wolf was wrapped with golden threads, and he didn't know where the other end was.
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.
He suspected that the golden thread had something to do with wishes, or that the old wolf had been guarding Mondstadt for a long time, and that there was cause and effect in the dark.
Lin Ye was burdened with a wish in Old Mondstadt, and at that time he said that a wish can transcend everything, even in the world of memory, the wish is still pure and immaculate.
Lin Ye thought about it and asked.
"The boy before me, who was he?"
"Rustan is known as [the wolf cub], and there is no lack of my teaching." The old wolf said.
"It's a pity that he died in the disaster."
When Lin Ye heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this Rustan a lady's old look?
Lin Ye remembered that Rustan died in the attack of the demon dragon Durin, and the old wolf mentioned the black knight, and Lin Ye guessed that it was the pure white knight who threw himself into the abyss because he was too righteous, and he was finally the blood-stained black knight.
But in this case, there is a contradiction.
Unless......
"Is there a third trial for Rustin?"
"No, I dreamed of Ravenwood's death after Rustein's death, and he died in a dark place."
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
It was preliminarily determined that the black knight was the pure white knight, the person who the girl admired in the girl's suit.
During the Pure White Knight's quest for the fall of the Ancient Kingdom, he believes that the death of Kanria is unjust, and later joins the Abyss.
It has not appeared in the main story, and Lin Ye does not know if it will appear in the future.
Since it is a camp in the abyss, Lin Ye, who has formed a bond with the abyss apostle, will naturally not refuse, and when Yingmei wakes up, he will definitely help Yingmei fight against the abyss.
And the black knight, whether he went crazy knowing part of the truth, or went crazy in pursuit of the truth, Lin Ye was curious.
"Okay, I'll make a promise." Lin Ye said solemnly.
The old wolf hung his head.
When it raised its head, the dark red flames around it suddenly erupted, converging on the old wolf's body, scorching flesh and bones and refining souls.
[The Wolf's End] is attached to a burning wolf spirit.
Lin Zhixin felt something, stepped forward, held it, and pulled it out.
"Detect, get the five-star artifact - [Wolf's End]"
"Open Legendary Mission: [Fateful Duel]"
"Detection leads are not ...... enough"
It seems that the specific era of the wolf knight is not mentioned, but here is a second creation, since Rustan is called [wolf cub], then it is assumed that he had a wolf knight before. The Black Knight killed the Wolf Knight, which is also the second creation. Still afraid of being stabbed in the back by the authorities.
