Table of Contents 288: The Black Knight (Medium)
Running on the muddy ground, there was almost no time to stop, but she couldn't walk anymore, Vivien fell to the ground with no strength, the cloth shoes on her feet had already been worn out of holes, and running in the rain for so long was a torture for her, exhaustion, and the fright she received all came up the moment she fell to the ground, taking away her body and will.
"Vivien, hurry up, you can't stop here!" Ann crouched to the side, trying to pick up her sister, but she herself was just as out of breath, and she was already thousands of meters away from the town.
No one thinks that's a safe number.
"Tsk, hate, hate, hate...... Why, why do we leave our grandfather and run away, why do the Knights of the Round Table come to kill us, aren't they supposed to protect our heroes!" trampling on the ground hard, stirring up patches of muddy water, Feng Yu looked very violent and anxious, the peaceful life was so simply broken, and he and Ann and Vivien would become great knights and usher in a new life, but it was over? In the heavy rain, the holy maiden turned her head and looked back at the dark town, which became blurry in the rain and threw away?
Chekolov's appearance in front of the four of them was so sudden, and it was so natural that probably everyone felt in their hearts that this was an inevitable picture.
The only surprise was that Chekolov was still clutching a huge cross, stuck at his feet, and the cross was tied to Tom with blood, he was already dead, no breathing, no heartbeat, only countless scars crisscrossed on the flesh.
A mass of flesh that had been robbed of its life.
In the darkness, several more knights quietly outflanked and cut off the retreat.
"Master...... Grandpa?" Feng Yu raised his head, stunned and looked at the lifeless black shadow, in the wind and rain, the hands that could not swing, were they really the hands that once hugged him? Dead, grandpa is dead, this really accurate information from the eyes to see and then to accept, in fact, it only took a very short time, and then, Feng Yu collapsed and screamed, like a wounded young beast, roaring.
"I'm going to ...... Kill you!"
"Oh, nice momentum. Chekolov raised his foot and gently kicked away the child who was running towards him, as if he had carried a small leather ball, and "bang" rolled down into the muddy water, and the wind feather kept rolling backwards until he was blocked by the holy maiden, "Run, run as far as you can, cherish life, I am sorry for implicating you." After that, he walked towards Chekolov, white smoke was constantly rising from the holy maiden's body, her blood was boiling faster, and her eyes turned into Shura's red in an instant, "As for you, don't want to take me back!" "Just send you home, don't be so tough, Holy Maiden, I obviously want to get along with you." The cruelty in his smile was not at all friendly, and Chekolov opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth.
"Whew" In the violent wind, mixed with strange movements, the holy maiden suddenly accelerated, and swung her right fist to Chekolov's disgusting face, "Bell" A long sword was erected from directly below, perfectly blocking this raid, and the collision of the fist and the blade caused a shaking, "Tsk." The moment the holy girl withdrew her fist, she quickly rotated her body, kicked her right leg out of the darkness, and the "bell" long sword defended accurately again, Chekolov's eyes could clearly see every attack action, it is said that the night walk of the hundred ghosts is a thousand treasures that can fully develop the potential of people, but the human body has a limit, and excessive use of the ability to exceed the limit will lead to the collapse of the body.
The holy maiden in front of her is indeed menacing, with the help of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, she can even match herself for a while, "You're tired, right?" Chekolov calmly blocked all the attacks, jabs, leg sweeps, no matter what angle, they disintegrated, and the holy girl who continued to attack was sweating profusely, and the rhythm of her breathing was completely disrupted, as if each attack would consume her only remaining vitality, "Ha......" Opening her mouth, she inhaled a breath of cold air in pain, containing the smell of dampness, the holy girl raised her head, her long hair was all just attached to her face, and she looked like a wolf, "I...... I won't give in, even if I die here, it's better than going back and becoming your prop, no, I'm going to live, live...... Go home, go home, go home...... "The hometown in my memory is a village with a beautiful rice field, the kind villagers, and the parents who love me, these are my most precious things, and the red eyes like a dead man finally reflect a trace of human emotion, "I want to go back!" The sharp voice echoed in the rain, and it was also exchanged for Chekolov's more hateful laughter.
"Hahahaha, hometown?That kind of thing is long gone, it's a hell that can't even be found on the map......" Swinging his long sword, a silver sword slash out, Chekolov finally took the initiative to step forward, expecting the distorted expression that was about to appear.
"What did you say?" the dry question, and the holy maiden's eyes, which had finally regained her vitality, went blank again.
"I say ......" deliberately accentuated his voice so that everyone could hear it, Chekolov enjoyed the despair of human beings, "your beloved hometown, your parents have long been ruined, and they have been wiped off the map on the day you were taken away by us, the Holy Maiden is the biggest prisoner in this country, she doesn't need any care, understand? "You beasts!" the ground at the Holy Maiden's feet exploded and leaped up, as if to pierce the air together, "Lord Chekolov!" finally a knight cried out in worry, and then, the two passed by, and the Holy Maiden fell to the ground without being able to stand firmly after landing on the ground, and a right leg, separated from her body, slipped in front of Ann's eyes.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ahhhhh......h
It was Chekolov's laughter that drowned out her screams.
Mockery, enjoyment, pleasure.
Ah, this wonderful feeling, it's addictive.
Walking towards the holy maiden who was prostrate on the ground, she rubbed the tip of her sword against the ground, and hummed the song of harvest somewhere in a small place in her mouth.
"May God praise the earth, praise the sky, give us a happy harvest, praise time, praise God, we are happy harvesters......" The long sword was aimed at the heart of the holy maiden, and it stabbed out like lightning, and "poof" simply shattered it, and the splashed blood merged in the rain, but the exciting breath was still strong, "I curse you...... Come to a sticky end...... You ...... with this country" The holy maiden, like a ghost, ended her life with a final curse, and died at the hands of the Knights of the Round Table, not at the hands of the enemy.
"Vivien, listen to me, prepare to escape...... Ann had a small iron sword at her waist, which she held in her hand, raised it tremblingly, her brain gradually went blank, and there was only one thought left, at least to let Vivien live.
"Lord Chekolov, in this case, we have to look for new sacrifices. One of the knights probably found it very troublesome, and complained in a low voice, Chekolov shook the bangs stuck to his head, his eyes fell on Ann and Vivian, thoughtfully, "Well, there is also this trouble, recycle the hundred ghosts nocturnal, and then, the two little ghosts here, let me take a look, tsk, yes, they are both A-level martial arts cultivators, isn't there a ready-made good thing?" "Don't come here, I won't let you hurt Vivien......" Before the words fell, An had already grabbed her throat and lifted it into the air," Oh, what did you just say that I was not allowed to hurt anyone?, did such arrogant words come from your cute little mouth?" The blade of the sword in the other hand pressed against Ann's lips, priing open the crown of her clenched teeth, and it looked like it was going to pierce straight through her mouth.
"Woo woo...... Ann's eyes widened, for the first time, she felt such a strong fear, the man in front of her was not a human at all, but a demon in human skin, would she die, would Vivian die?
"I'll go with you. The cowardly voice, now full of courage, Vivian stood in front of Chekolov, looking up at the tall man, and the sister with a painful expression, including Feng Yu, who tried to stand up on the ground but was pressed by someone, everyone would die, just like Grandpa and the Holy Maiden.
But it sounds like there's value in using it.
"If I go with you and take the place of the Holy Maiden, can I spare my sister and Wind Feather?"
"Vivian!" "Vivian, what are you talking about!How can we make you ......" An and Feng Yu's screams were quickly swallowed up by the sound of rain, this world, will not listen to the voice of the weak, Chekolov looked at Vivian who was still trembling with interest, with the qualification of A-level martial arts, coupled with that easy-to-control character, isn't it the best material? Okay, little one, but remember, you're not qualified to negotiate terms with us, you know, I'll take you back in exchange for the other two little ones to live. With a slight throw, Ann was thrown to Feng Yu's side, and then, bent down and hugged Vivien, as if she was very caring, but Vivian's petite body kept shaking, and there was no temperature on this man's body.
"You have to live well, thank this little girl for her decision. Ignoring Wind Feather and Ann's rebellious voices, Chekolov turned to leave, Vivien was in the rain, and the last thing she saw was Ann and Wind Feather crying.
Ah, that's good, at least, everybody's still alive.
Live, sooner or later, something good will happen.
Vivien was brought back to the capital, and soon after, together with a group of ragged little girls, gathered in a luxurious garden, the promenade of which was filled with the most powerful people in the country, and on the terrace above the corridor, the condescending Pope, who was the real master of the life and death of the Holy Maiden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all oracles, and the children who have come here, I believe you have also realized that the Holy Maiden is a symbol of this country, and it is a pity that the last Holy Maiden died of illness, and now I need to choose a new heir, she must be noble, beautiful, strong, and have an unshakable faith. The Pope said word by word, with a serious look, and a gentle tone that would make people feel like a spring breeze, in the crowd, only Vivian was still trembling, she understood what was happening, the Holy Maiden was swallowed up by the darkness of this country, and it was not an enviable title, it was an invisible cage, and it was also a guillotine used to turn the girl into a sacrifice, "I want to succeed......" Chekolov said, if he failed to become a holy maiden, he would kill Wind Feather and Ann, this is a deal.
Plug a qiē.
"I'm going to make it. ”
Whether she stood in the rain for three days and three nights, or was thrown into the forest, escaping from the wild wolves, the weakest Vivien persevered again and again.
She wants to live, and she also wants An and Fengyu to live.
There were fewer and fewer children around, and in the end, only Vivien was left.
Did you succeed yourself?
However, the trial is not over yet.
Vivien was taken by Chekolov to Winterfell, where there was a dark church where the first Holy Maiden was rumored to have prayed, and from then on, every successor Holy Maiden would go in to pray once.
Standing in the dark doorway, you can only smell a rancid smell coming from inside, not at all like a holy church, but a tomb
"Congratulations, little girl, as long as you pass this trial, you will succeed. Glancing at the small body that already showed signs of development, Vivian was dressed in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk today, and there was no other clothing, Chekolov could feel the impulse under his crotch, ah, another beautiful flower, "Go in, in two months, I will come to pick you up." "Hey?" Chekolov had just said for two months, and before Vivien could ask, his body had already flown in and crashed into the stairs, and inside the church was a huge cellar, scrolling all the way down to the bottom.
Dark, damp, and without light.
"Wait, that food ......"
"Don't worry, at least you will be provided with food that you can survive, it's simple, right, stay for two months and you'll be successful. Outside, Chekolov's usual laughter rang out, and then a dead silence resumed.
Vivien tried to keep her eyes open, but she could only feel the darkness.
Here is the purest abyss.
One day, two days, three days.
Whenever Vivian woke up, she would find that there was water and food around her, I don't know how to do it, and she had pretended to be asleep, but as long as she was awake, there would be no food and water in front of her, and gradually, she couldn't care about this problem.
After darkness, there is silence.
From the initial restlessness, it gradually moved to irritability and panic.
On the tenth day, Chekolov, who was outside the door, heard Vivian banging desperately on the entrance door, "Let me out, let me out, anyone...... Talk to me...... Talk to me...... Please......" The man laughed outside the door, intoxicated.
Day 15.
Vivien lay on her stomach in the deepest part of the cellar, muttering to herself, her hair disheveled.
Day 20.
"Who will save me, help me...... Feng Yu, Sister An, I'm so scared...... Afraid...... Ahh......hhh
Chekolov didn't make a sound behind the door, he knew that darkness and silence would be bad, and he didn't know if the girl would last until the end.
On the thirtieth day, there was no movement.
Vivien leaned against the wall like a dead man, she felt the cracks in the wall of various shades, which had been dug with her fingernails after the girls who had been thrown here in the past after going crazy, and then, silently, she raised her hand and pierced her nails directly into the solid wall until she felt the pain.
"Ah...... Originally...... I'm still alive......" Vivien laughed foolishly.
Day 60.
The door finally opened, and Chekolov walked down the steps to see Vivian, who was still alive but dead.
"Congratulations, you've become the new Holy Maiden. This sentence, like a curse, caused Vivien's body to twitch violently, and then returned to calm.
That's right, I'm the Holy Maiden.
No more Vivien.
Four years later, two recruits joined the Knights' Legion, one of whom became a Knights of the Round Table as a woman.
She put on her silver armor and discarded her former name.
"Arthur, from today onwards, this is my name. Ann, who picked up the greatsword, no, it should be Arthur, said to Wind Feather, "I'm going to Vivien!"
It's also a curse.
The trio will be permanently entangled.
