Table of Contents 64 - Sword, Oath

Since I was sensible, the world in front of me has been single and boring, but for myself, it is not boring.

"Knights, will raise their swords to protect the weak, as well as their loved ones, their homes, their country. This was a phrase that my father used to say until he fell under the claws of the werewolf.

"You have to protect the country and forget about your identity as a woman...... My beloved daughter ......" In his arms, the bloodied father closed his eyes and slept with glory.

"From today on, you are the new leader of the Rhine Knights, your life will be dedicated to the country and justice, use your sword, slay the evil!" the heavy sword was handed to his hand, and an indescribable sense of responsibility came to his heart, and from that day on, he was no longer a simple girl, but a knight who guarded the country.

"It's always been like that, guarding the weak, guarding the place I love, am I wrong, or ...... Is the world itself wrong?" The long sword shook away the short sword that struck from the dead end, and Nia's questioning was only exchanged for a slight smile from the man in front of her, "Who would have such a thing." Jumping slightly, the dagger spun and slashed, the target was the crystal chain, and Nia quickly took a step back, "Is this what you call a second battle!Why are you staring at this thing!That's my brother'......" "I've heard enough of your nonsense, stupid woman, it's common sense to attack the opponent's weakness in battle!" "I'm after a fair fight!, not a despicable sneak attack!" angrily scolded.

"Battles are never despicable, only victory and defeat!" Bai Ye's offensive became faster, and the short sword conjured up several afterimages, but this speed was nothing in Nia's eyes.

"Then, I will use absolute strength to defeat you!" the giant sword slashed hard, there were no superfluous fancy movements, but it was enough to force back the disjointed Bai Ye, "I won't let anyone take away the last memories." "Your younger brother reminds me of my sister watching the battle next to me, I don't hate your personality, but I won't stop. With his right arm stretched back, keeping the dagger horizontal, Bai Ye's eyes were fixed on the bracelet swaying in the wind, he knew better than anyone how important that thing was to Nia, and destroying it was tantamount to destroying the last memories between Nya and her brother.

However, memories have become the shackles that bind this poor woman.

"This is my fastest blow, Nia. "The whole body is slowly relaxing, increasing the speed to the limit, and the woman will get serious about protecting the bracelet, and even kill herself.

"Do such stupid things...... Am I infected by those fools?" he whispered to himself, and then the man and the dagger ricocheted out.

"I won't let you destroy it!" there was no way to retreat, Nia picked up her giant sword and prepared to crush the oncoming Bai Ye to pieces, she didn't allow anyone to destroy this thing, not even the man in front of her.

The sound of rubbing, the clear sound of something smashing.

The broken crystal chain flew sporadically in the air and fell to the ground.

"It's you who win. Bai Ye, who was facing away from Nia, lost his mind for a moment, and dazzling blood gushed out from his shoulder, "Bai Ye!" In the distance, someone's anxious cry was faintly heard, but it was quickly covered by another mournful roar, "No...... Don't, don't, ahhhhh......hhh

"It looks like it's not you who wins, it's mine. One hand pressed the wound, but it still couldn't stop the blood from seeping through his fingers, Bai Ye, whose face was pale, approached step by step, and the armor on the ground was already ignoring him, just kept chattering and groping.

"Don't ...... Don't, why...... You're going to be so cruel, you know it's my brother's last thing...... That's ......" "That's the fuse that led you into the darkness, and it was full of resentment and fear from the villagers, and for hundreds of years, along with the armor, it eroded your soul. Bai Ye's foot stomped the piece closest to him, "Don't!" the woman's scream, the latter unmoved.

"You who are obsessed with that kind of thing, you have long been not guarding this thing for the sake of your brother, just to comfort yourself, to comfort yourself that the killing you committed is the fault of the villagers, you can continue to hypnotize yourself, as long as the chain is in one day, you will not wake up from your dream. ”

"It's time to wake up, the village is ruined, and those people are already dead. ”

"This is not the Taoyuan Township of 500 years ago, but a forgotten ruin. ”

Nia slowly raised her head, then looked down at her arms that had turned into metal, and let out a terrible cry: "What about me, why am I still here, I should have died together a long time ago, my brother is gone, the people in the village are gone, Haruka is gone, no one will remember me, of course, even if they see me now, they won't be able to recognize it, and then one day, even I will forget who I am, I can't die, I have lived in the form of a monster, and even the last thing I can take to miss has been ruthlessly destroyed by you, I ......" "I'll remember. Bai Ye let go of the hand holding the wound, pointed to the black ground under his feet, and let the bright red blood beads drip down his fingertips.

"I remember the female knight who fought me here, and deliberately let me out of the water once. ”

"I remember the lunch that a girl with an amazing talent for cooking cooked for me. ”

"I remember the hospitality of my villagers who had nowhere else to go. ”

"It's impossible to forget jì, something. ”

"You're Nia, and I'll always remember that. ”

I won't forget jì, the Taoyuan Township that was once here.

"Even if you say that, I don't know what to live for, all the things I hate have been killed by me, and the people I love have left me, and I am ...... like a lonely ghost" "What you hate is just those fools? Isn't there anything you should hate?" Bai Ye, who was half-crouching down, pointed his finger at Nia's helmet, "Don't you plan to hate this world that has made you lose a qiē and become a monster?" Okay, I know you won't hate all the Yiqiē so unreasonably, then I'll give you a reason to live, it's rare to get the power of immortality, it's too wasteful not to use it well, are you willing to be used by me?" "Hey?" It was the first time I heard such a direct use of speech, and Nia was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"I, too, because of some things, need more powerful forces, in order to take revenge on the world that took me away. ”

"Sounds like you're going to be a bad guy......" Nia said weirdly, observing Bai Ye's expression.

"Almost, I've never thought of being a good person, for revenge, I can become a demon king who is unforgiving, and I will do whatever it takes, just like you can slaughter Sunset Village for your younger brother, I will also not do anything to destroy a country...... "Bai Ye, whose face did not change, also showed a smug smile.

This is a path to purgatory.

There is only a forward and no backward option.

"I, I need to think about it. Nia stood up, then glanced at the guys who came from afar, and said lightly.

The battle is over, and it is difficult to say whose victory.

Perhaps, there is no winner at all.

The beautiful Sunset Village in the past has now become a strange and gloomy place like a mass grave, Bai Ye walked alone in the ruins, avoiding those guys who asked him this and that, they seemed to be very curious about the fact that a female soul was lodged in the Spirit Binding Demon Armor, especially Bai Ruoyan's torture-like attitude, which made Bai Ye wisely choose to avoid the edge for the time being.

"The hosts. Behind him, Lemon followed silently, as if it were his own shadow.

"I want to be quiet alone, you find a place to hide. "Yes. Lemon disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace, and Bai Ye stopped in front of the dilapidated wreckage that had long been unrecognizable, if his memory was not wrong, this should be the home of Haruka in the past.

The girl with a sunny smile was killed by Nia herself in real history, and in the world of memory, she was hacked by herself, in the final analysis, she and Nia are the same murderers.

"I'm not going to apologize, I'm not going to feel guilty, about killing you. Looking at the empty abandoned house, Bai Ye muttered, "Hypocritically saying something regretful here makes me feel disgusted, and no matter how many times I repeat it, I will choose to kill you, so wait for me for a while in that place called hell." ”

"It won't be too long, I'll come over there too, and then you can scold me well. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly swept a touch of color, and on the ruins of this barren land, a cluster of lilacs was quietly blooming there, although it grew in the corner of the wall where no one noticed, but it still had a beautiful demeanor.

"Let's make a pact, the day you are relieved, the day you come back here, I will definitely let the lilacs spread all over the village. ”

It seems that Haruka and Haruka have made a similar agreement.

Now, I'm back.

"I see oh, the beautiful lilacs, and you have fulfilled your promise. "It's also a final goodbye.

When he turned around, he found a tall blood-red armor standing not far behind him.

"Have you already thought about it, Nia? ”

"This was once Haruka's home. Instead of answering Bai Ye's question, she walked past him and approached the lilac in the corner, "She likes lilacs the most." ”

Bai Ye hooked the corners of his mouth, but smiled faintly.

"I also like to talk about her when she planted flowers, she was supposed to be a pure and immaculate girl, but she died at your hands and mine. ”

"You're not going to forgive her......

"No, I can't forgive her for killing her brother, and at the same time, I can't forgive myself for killing her because of a personal vendetta, I have long been stuck in such a loop. He pulled out the giant sword and gently stroked the blade with his touchless left hand, "Now, Lai Yifa, according to you, my armor is the so-called Thousand Treasures, and my soul has fused with it, is there a way to make me die?" Shrugged helplessly, this was Bai Ye's truth, "In addition, I have already told you, my real name is Bai Ye, and Lai Yifa is just my pseudonym." "I always feel that this woman is taking revenge on herself for deceiving her, biting the name of Lai Yifa.

"I know, at least here, let me call you that. The knight didn't know what she was thinking, her gaze rested on the blade, repeating for a long time the movement of rubbing her fingers.

"I kind of know what I'm going to live for. Finally, Nia walked towards Bai Ye, her steps heavy and powerful.

"I will lend you the power and be used by you, you must also be as you say, become a bad bad person, a demon king who has done all the bad things, and then, on the day you succeed in revenge, please find a way to kill me and end me with your own hands, can you do it?" The serious question made a trace of surprise flash on Bai Ye's face.

"No problem. Unceremoniously agreed, but both sides understood the weight of this agreement.

"Then, I swear here......" knelt down in front of Bai Ye on one knee, holding the blade of the sword with his left hand, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, raising it above his head, and bowing his head reverently.

"I will be loyal to you, and from now on I will be your sword, slaying your enemies and forging your paths, until my bones are broken, and I will not betray you until my soul burns out. ”

"Dedicate a qiē to you, loyalty, glory, courage. ”

"My name is Nia, your knight. ”

Bai Ye, who took the giant sword, gripped it with difficulty, then flattened the blade and pressed it on Nia's right shoulder.

"Then do according to your rules, and from now on you will be my lackey. ”

"Can't you change it to a nice word......" Nia, who raised her head again, protested, "The protest is invalid, stupid woman ......" gave her the giant sword, Bai Ye bit off the thumb of her right hand and pressed it on Nia's hand, "Although you don't have a body, but your soul is still there, I don't know if you can make a contract." Before the words fell, a red circular pattern appeared at the feet of the two of them, "Looks like it's okay, thank you, Nia, for letting me get another contract." ”

"Hmph...... I want to serve my Lord. ”

"If you don't want to call me Bai Ye like that, I'm not a great guy, and besides, what I need is not a knight, but a sword. ”

Then, please accompany me on the path to purgatory.

Yes, my lord.

The contract is formed.

The red light reflected half of the sky, and Bai Ruoyan, who was sitting on the ground, was the first to jump up and shouted angrily: "Ah, I'm so angry, that dead woman can actually make a contract!" "The ability of the Book of Eternity is really exaggerated. Yun Yi also saw the red light, and smashed her mouth meaningfully, "Okay, don't be unhappy, from today onwards, that female knight named Nia will also become our companion." "Not only the machine, but even the dead don't let go, Bai Ye is really a great man. Luo Yunxiu, who had a wicked smile on his face, still had a huge question in his heart, he could make so many contracts, what was Bai Ye's contract?

Is it lucky or unfortunate for an old human to possess such a terrifying ability?
