It wasn't until he watched Berrion Marchelus' back disappear from the creaking door that Guillaut Valence stood there like a javelin, motionless — until he was the only one left in the church that he realized that his clenched fist was already covered with sweat.

Are you scared? No, it's definitely not fear, fear doesn't make you so nervous, you tighten your heartstrings – only hope, only a person who is momentary before seeing hope can be so nervous.

The ecstatic agitation of drowning in despair and seeing a moment of hope can even kill a person – and Gaio Valence felt so deeply in this moment.

He had that feeling, Berion wasn't deceiving himself, it was all true, as long as he could do everything he asked, he would be able to get real revenge, and with his own sword, he would end that evil and lowly life, that filthy and filthy demon!

But the more he did, the more he felt that he was making a deal with the devil, and that the moment he raised his sword, he would be indistinguishable from them, despicable and filthy, and completely sunk into hell.

The mental struggle made the chief knight can't help but turn his head to the glorious cross behind him full of cobwebs—it is an indescribable irony to talk about intrigue and subterfuge, revenge and killing in the presence of God.

"Maybe that's why you're God—you're always watching, but you're never willing to give us a little mercy and mercy, and you're always hiding your gifts in mysteries and fate. The Knight of the Sacred Tree stood in front of the Radiant Cross with a cold gaze, and pressed the hilt of his sword with his left hand: "You can see the original sin of man, right?"

"That's why you know. What is the core of hope. What is the essence of desire - it is the original sin of selfishness and self-righteousness. The starting point of all good and evil, you just watch, watch how we humble people juggle in front of you, and then turn into a pinch of loess. Gaio's voice stiffened: "It doesn't seem like a joke to someone like me—because you've seen too much." ”

"Why don't you put an end to all this, why don't you let such a despicable world disappear as soon as possible?" do you still think it's all interesting, and that seeing people suffer is your greatest pleasure?"

"Alright then, then you're just there watching, watching how I make decisions — it's like watching a play that knows the ending for a long time. I will conquer you with my acting skills, even if all this is something you have already set, even if it is all predestined, I swear, I swear with my soul, there will be something you don't expect!"

The sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed—but it stopped only an inch away from the Radiant Cross Statue, and Gaio Valence, who coldly curled the corners of his mouth, slowly withdrew the sword from its scabbard and turned to leave.

"Boom ——!"

Just as the knight was about to step out of the door, the statue that had been intact suddenly collapsed. It became a piece of shards. In response, only the back of Gaiyo resolutely walked out. Not even looking back.

Gayor Valence himself knew that the moment he walked out decided that he had no chance of turning back.

Walking out of the chaotic streets, it seems to be a lot more chaotic outside, but it is also a lot more lively—ordinary people talking happily, businessmen hurrying to do business, even beggars are more diligent than before, as if the whole Dongcheng District has become more active.

"How could our big hero stand outside the tavern door, and plan to go in for a drink?" A familiar but helpless voice sounded from beside him: "It's really rare, could it be that you also know that wine is a good thing?"

"I'm not a priest who forbids alcohol, and I drink some occasionally. Frowning slightly, Gaio turned his head away: "Leonardo Gombray." ”

"You you still know me?" Leonardo laughed nonchalantly and hugged his shoulder: "Let's go, let's find a place where no one makes trouble and have a few drinks, otherwise when your triumph begins, I may not have a chance!"

Gaylot, who looked helpless, was caught by Leonardo, and was almost dragged into the hall of the tavern, looking at the full glass of butterbeer on the table, the knight still couldn't help frowning, and didn't even think of moving.

"What, our big hero can't look down on it?" Leonardo, who didn't care, laughed and gulped down his wine, and put Gaio's wine glass in front of him with one hand: "Oh...... I almost forgot that you only drink wine, do you?"

"Can you stop going around in circles, Leonardo - the two of us don't need to do that. Gaio couldn't help but ask, "Why are you tracking me?"

"How can you say that, I just met you, is it wrong to go out on the street to drink?" Leonardo said with a smile, "You can't tie me up in the headquarters of the Knights all day, can you?"

"Still that question...... Why are you following me?" Gaio remained unrelenting, his gaze extremely cold: "I want to hear the truth, Leonardo - I don't want even you to try to lie to me." ”

"The truth, do you want to hear the truth?" Leonardo wiped his mouth, the smile on his face finally faded, and he looked at Gaiyo, "We are worried about you, or the entire Knights are worried about you. ”

"Why?"

"Since you're a member of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, and more likely the next Grand Master, it's impossible for us not to worry about you, especially at a time like this. Leonardo said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want me to lie to you, then you'd better not plan to lie to me - what is the purpose of your coming out today?"

"If you ask that, it means you already know. Gai Ye snorted coldly, "Why do you want to ask me, do you want to hear that name from my mouth?"

"That's why we're worried. Leonardo sighed and gulped down the butterbeer in his glass: "You're about to be consumed by your own desire for revenge, Gayyo Valence!"

"But I'm telling you now, no matter what you intend to do, you must not attack the Minest family at such a time - when the succession of the kingdom is vacant, when the king is critically ill and the whole kingdom is about to collapse, because of your own vengeful impulse, destroy the entire kingdom!"

"Oh, yes, then I'd like to know another thing too - why do you hate Berion so much, is it because he failed last time, or is it something else?"

"This ......"

"But the truth is, I don't care either way, that's what I said from the first time we met, and with your brother Tornier Gombray, the knight of the damned Edward Witwood's service—I, Gayor Valence, have survived, so I have a duty to avenge those who died in vain!"

"Have a great time, Leonardo. As he spoke, Gaio Valence slowly got up and walked towards the door: "You'd better not worry about me, worry more about yourself—the storm is coming, and no one can expect to be able to avoid it." ”

"Then let me tell you one thing before you leave, Gaio Valens. Without waiting for the knight to walk out of the door, Leonardo, who had put down his wine glass, suddenly spoke: "Do you know that the barbarians of Hantu have rioted? 300,000 barbarians have invaded Hantu City, and the results have come out. ”

"His Highness Anson Marcherus crushed the enemy in one fell swoop, and slaughtered 300,000 blue wolf clans, and all those who survived were turned into slaves. ”

"And who is the man who has been the greatest contributor to this war, the man who cut off the head of the King of the Soil—you must know, yes, Edward Witwood, that's him!" )
