At the edge of the character panel, there is a constant stream of gray smoke escaping.

Roy watched carefully, tried, but no matter how he touched it, the font on the gray character panel did not change, like a shadow of light, as if it would only change when it encountered something.

Eventually, Roy set his sights on the Rubik's Cube.

“98%…… What happens when it reaches 100%? ”

He frowned in thought.

"Judging from the hint just now, the increase in the progress of the energy reserve is related to a certain magical item that the white-haired and silver-eyed witch put into my heart, [Lust Demon Source] - Mixed branch magic power, what does it mean?"

"Regardless of what this is, if you want to improve the progress of energy reserves, it seems that the only way to devour magical items is at the moment? Wait a minute! ”

Roy's eyes widened, staring at the "98%" displayed under the mysterious Rubik's Cube.

"The gray character panel indicates that after absorbing magic items, the energy reserve progress has increased by 97%, but the existing energy reserve progress is 98%, where does this extra 1% come from?"

Grey character panel comes with?

Roy thought it was unlikely.

In this case, what is the difference between him last night and him now?

Body? Soul? Space? Time?

Wait, time!

Does the progress of energy reserves increase by 1% every day that passes, even if you do nothing?

This is Roy's speculation, but he feels that eight or nine is not far from ten.

How it is, look at 0:00 tonight, you will know.

The Mysterious Rubik's Cube is the most promising method that Roy can think of to fight against the white-haired and silver-eyed witch.

But even if his guess was correct, it would take two days to reach 100% energy reserves.

And will the white-haired, silver-eyed witch give him two days?

Roy didn't know.

Although he doesn't know what will happen when the Mystery Cube reaches 100%, this is already his last hope.

"Squeak-"

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a knight with a helmet in his arms walked through the door.

With a face as resolute as granite, with deep worry, seeing Roy waking up on the bed, the knight said in a deep voice: "Young Master Roy, the doctor has explained, you had better stay in bed for three days, sorry, for the sake of your body, if you don't listen to the doctor's advice and go out without permission again, I will do something arrogant." ”

"I will bear all the punishments when the Baron returns."

Looking at the knight in front of him, Roy smiled reluctantly: "Red...... Uncle, don't worry, after this incident, I know what's at stake. ”

Red Turumbuir, a two-star bronze knight loyal to the Tulumbuel family, fought on the front lines with his original father when he was young, and repeatedly blocked deadly attacks for him, and was given the surname Turumbuir for his outstanding exploits.

Although there is no blood relationship, in the case of the original father's perennial outing, Red's existence, in terms of the original body, is almost no different from the "guardian".

As the eldest son of the Blackstone Leader, his father is the first in the ranking of the most feared people in the original body, and Red is the second.

These are the remnants of the original body's memories.

"If only you understood." A hint of surprise flashed in Red's eyes, Roy's performance was a little different from the lawless gentleman in the past, but thinking of the strong stimulation that this incident brought to Roy, such a change was not incomprehensible.

Nodding, Red continued to speak: "Young Master Roy, it is an eventful time now, there have been disputes between the Kolai Empire and our Glow Empire since the beginning of the year, Lord Baron went to the front line at the call of Duke Moraes, you, as the eldest son of the Turumbuir family, must protect yourself at this critical moment, as for those nightingales......"

Red gritted his teeth: "When your body recovers, I will turn a blind eye and not report to Lord Baron, but please don't go out of the city without permission, and leave the positioning talisman that Lord Baron gave you." ”

"I know you hate the supervised positioning of the location talisman, but in case something happens to you, we can also quickly rescue the talisman based on its location, this time thankfully you're okay, if you ......"

Hearing the concern of the knight in front of him, Roy nodded solemnly: "Don't worry." ”

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and asked instead, "Uncle Red, can you teach me to practice as a knight?" ”

As he spoke, Roy's eyes lit up slightly.

The knight in front of him is not an ordinary knight, but a powerful knight of the bronze two-star rank, and he is naturally far from being an opponent in the face of those witches who have mastered offensive abilities, but if it is those witches who have just been alienated and have auxiliary sexual abilities, it is not impossible to win.

There was no knight cultivation in the original body, and it seemed a little late to start from scratch, but for the current Roy, he was unwilling to give up any way to increase his strength and improve the possibility of survival.

The original source of knightly cultivation is no longer exquisite, but it is the strongest means for human beings to survive in this world and resist those weird and terrifying monsters and even witches, and it has its own uniqueness.

Apprenticeship, Formal, Bronze...... After reaching Bronze, each level is divided into three stars, with one star being the last and three stars being the highest.

Since he first started practicing, the Bronze Horseman has already been a third-order existence, not to mention, Red is still a bronze two-star, and among the Bronze Horsemen, he is not a weakling.

"Knight practice? Young Master Roy, are you willing to learn?! ”

Hearing Roy's words, the surprise on Red's face overcame the worry.

In fact, no matter how he persuaded him in the past, Roy, who felt the pain of cultivation after trying a knight's practice, said that he was not willing to continue his practice.

The Tulumbuir family is not a long-established nobleman, a baron, or Roy's father, who was knighted by the Empire after his exploits in the war twenty years ago.

As the second-generation eldest son of the newly promoted noble family, if Roy is not good enough, after the Baron grows old, the Turumbuir family will be in danger, which is something that Red who is loyal to the Turumbuir family does not want to see.

In his mind, Roy has no chance of academics, but at least, he has to be a knight.

It's a pity that Roy in the past was unwilling to practice knighthood no matter how much he persuaded him.

And now, he actually took the initiative to mention it?!

Rader couldn't help but feel a little grateful to the nightingale who abducted the young master.

Of course, thanks are gratitude, and when he catches this person, there will be no less punishment!

After the excitement, Red calmed down, and shook his head regretfully under Roy's gaze: "Young Master Roy, you are willing to practice knighthood, and I am naturally extremely willing to teach, but your current physical condition does not allow it." ”

"Forced cultivation will not only fail to achieve the effect of exercise, but will further damage the body, and at the earliest, you have to wait for your mental state to be better and your body recuperates for a week."

As a bronze two-star knight, in the knightly field, Rod's words are not low in authority.

This greatly disappointed Roy.

A week later...... Whether he will survive for another two days is unknown.

It seems that the path of knightly cultivation is not going to work for the time being.

Roy thought silently in his heart, with a look of regret on his face: "I see, I'm in a hurry." ”

"It's a good thing that you have this will." Red's eyes were full of relief, and he bowed slightly: "Young Master Roy, then you rest first, I will guard not far from the door, and you can give me an order if you have anything." ”

With that, Red went out.

Roy, on the other hand, lay in bed and continued to desperately think about how to survive the two days.

……

The center of the Blackstone Collar is the town of Blackstone, which surrounds the town of Blackstone, and there are large and small villages.

About thirteen kilometers from Blackstone is a small village called Vig.

In recent years, with the friction on the border, Heishiling, as a frontier land, often recruited farmers to serve as soldiers, which also led to some houses being semi-abandoned with the absence of their owners.

At this moment, in the basement of a half-collapsed stone house.

The dancing dim candlelight reflected an extremely pale face.

It was a girl lying on a wooden bed in a light yellow dress, with a melon seed face, a young face, and two fluffy fox ears hanging down on her head.

And beside the wooden bed, there is a white-haired and silver-eyed witch with an anxious face, pacing back and forth.

"How so?"

She looked at her companion who had fallen into a coma in front of her, muttering to herself, her pupils of black filaments constantly swimming, full of anxiety and doubt.

According to the plan, she buried that "thing" in the heart of the son of the Lord of Blackstone Ridge, and then her companions could use it as a basis to manipulate their words and actions.

However, when the white-haired and silver-eyed witch returned to the stronghold after completing the operation, she saw a fox-eared witch with a pale face and a constant bleeding of seven orifices.

If it weren't for the beginning of the witch's awakening, her physique would have been greatly baptized, far stronger than ordinary people, and she would have died a long time ago after such an injury.

But even if she wasn't dead, she was in a near-death state.

A day passed, and although the fox-eared witch had woken up, her state was getting worse and worse.

The white-haired and silver-eyed witch could sense that the pollution in the fox-eared witch's body was gradually intensifying, causing her state to deteriorate and deteriorate.

As the state deteriorates, the rate of pollution increases, forming a vicious circle.

"That thing...... was destroyed...... Blackstone Collar ...... There are quirky ...... Don't go! ”

The words that the fox-eared witch had said to her when she woke up vaguely echoed in her ears, and the white-haired and silver-eyed witch stopped walking back and forth, her eyes showing a look of determination.

She's going to infiltrate the Lord's Mansion in Blackstone tonight.

The fox-eared witch's words made her realize that the young man who seemed to be powerless in front of her the night before yesterday was not as simple as it seemed, and behind him, there was a master.

But no matter what, she must go to the Lord's Mansion tonight, because the fox-eared witch can't hold on anymore.

She must find the source of the growing contamination in the Fox-Eared Witch - the son of the lord named Roy, or, the witch who served in the Blackstone Realm.

……

Blackstone Town, Lord's House, Study.

The twilight of the setting sun brings a brief peace before darkness.

Roy sighed as he removed his hand from the saber hanging from the wall in front of him.

The knight's path can't be counted on in the short term, and he can only lock his eyes on the lord's mansion to see if he can find anything related to "magic items", so as to increase the progress of the energy reserve of the mysterious Rubik's Cube.

But to his disappointment, from barely regaining mobility at noon yesterday, to dusk today, he had almost turned over the entire Lord's Mansion, but no matter what it was, it couldn't cause a change in the gray character panel.

This made him extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, the mysterious white-haired and silver-eyed witch did not come to "look for him" in the past two days, which made Roy greatly relieved.

And at 0:00 tonight, the Mystery Cube will make up the last 1% and reach 100%!

At that time, his "golden finger" will show its true face.

Roy was looking forward to it, but he didn't dare to let his guard down.

The closer you get to the critical juncture, the more you can't relax.

In order to safely spend the time from six o'clock to 0 o'clock in the morning tonight, Roy specially asked Red to strengthen the garrison of the Lord's Mansion, although ordinary knights have no chance of winning against the witch, but a thirty-member knight group led by a bronze two-star knight can delay some time, right?

What should be done, what can be done, Roy has already done it.

And just like that, time passed little by little.

……

In the middle of the night, the crimson moonlight flowed like flowing water in the courtyard and penetrated into the room through the cracks in the windows, fading the brilliance.

The moon of this world is different from the blue star, and its whole body is crimson, like the eyes of a god looking at the world.

Roy sat on the bed, his face full of nervousness.

There are only three minutes left until 0:00.

At this moment, in the corner of the door of the house where he was, stood the bronze two-star Red, and the room was surrounded by thirty official knights who were waiting for him.

"Hoo ......"

A light breeze blew, and high in the sky, a black cloud obscured the crimson moon, causing the light on the earth to suddenly dim.

And between this change of light and shadow, a figure appeared on the wall of the lord's mansion.

The black hood and robe almost dissolve into the night.

She seemed to have some kind of unique perception, and walked all the way to Roy's house, and in less than two minutes, she appeared in front of Roy's house, and behind her, there were several knights waiting for her, but none of them noticed what she was doing.

Soon, the figure was less than three meters away from the wooden door of the house.

"Qiang—"

The metal hum of the long sword out of the sheath sounded, accompanied by a flash of edge in mid-air, the black-robed figure raised his hand, and his plain white slender index finger blocked the slashed long sword that emitted a pale white shimmer, and sighed lightly:

"The Bronze Horseman? Two stars? ”

"Boom-"

The azure blue cold air spread around the black-robed figure, and Red, who was holding the long sword, flew upside down under the impetus of the shock wave, and in mid-air, a faint layer of frost appeared on the surface of his body, and the whole body became cold.

Consciousness became sluggish, and the body was unable to move.

The movement of Red's shot made the knights patrolling outside notice the abnormality, but before they could get closer, under the influence of the blue cold air, the surface of the body was covered with frost, and their eyes gradually became dull.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

The black-robed figure's breathing became rapid, as if it was suppressing something, and a terrifying chill accumulated and danced wildly around her.

Dozens of seconds later, the cold air around the black-robed figure gradually subsided, and his breathing calmed down.

She didn't look at the knights who had turned into ice sculptures around her, walked to the wooden door, and pushed hard.

"Bang!"

The wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Crimson Moonlight also took the opportunity to scramble into the room, driving away the darkness.

In the room, a young man in gray clothes and pants sat cross-legged on the bed, raised his head, and met the pale silver pupils under the black robe, and the thin black lines within them swam extremely fast.

"You're here."

With a calm face and calm eyes, at this moment, the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed gave people an inexplicable feeling, which made the white-haired and silver-eyed girl stunned for a few seconds.

How to describe it?

Confidence? Emboldened?

She didn't know.

However, even though the young man in front of her gave her a completely different feeling than the night three days ago, after all, she was just a knight who was not an ordinary person.

Even if she doesn't use her abilities, she is as fragile as an ant.

The white-haired and silver-eyed witch didn't speak, raised her hand, and grabbed it towards the boy.

No matter how Roy caused the fox-eared witch to be seriously injured and near-dead, it is always not wrong to capture her first.

After that, you will slowly ask questions, and you will have your own gains.

But just when the white-haired silver-eyed witch's hand first touched Roy's neck, it changed and abruptly changed.

An indescribable suction force came from Roy's body, and in an instant, the white-haired and silver-eyed witch felt the magic power in her body being withdrawn and flowing into the other party's body.

……

The moment there was movement outside the door, Roy realized that the witch was coming.

But at this moment, there is still the last minute from 0 o'clock, even if he is extremely anxious in his heart, he can't do anything, he can only pray in his heart that Red and the others will hold on for a while.

However, what he didn't expect was that Red and the others didn't hold on for even three seconds after a minute, although they couldn't see what was happening outside the house, but with the appearance of the blue frost that spread from the outside of the house to the floor inside the house, there was an eerie silence outside, and only the sound of breathing could not stop.

This made Roy's heart rise to his throat.

Dozens of seconds later, the wheezing sound subsided, the wooden door was pushed open, and a black-robed figure walked in, and the white hair floating out of the black hood made Roy determine the identity of the other party at the first time.

It was the white-haired silver-eyed witch who had instilled something in him the night three days ago!

And at this moment, there are only a few seconds left until 0 o'clock.

In order to survive this last hour, Roy pretended to be calm and said words such as "You are here" in an attempt to delay time.

The magic item is absorbed, and the other party does not know the reason, and will inevitably suspect who is behind it.

Doubt leads to hesitation, and hesitation leads to pause, and there is the possibility of procrastination.

Because of the hesitation of the white-haired and silver-eyed witch, Roy survived the last 3 seconds.

As the last 1% of the energy was replenished, the mysterious Rubik's Cube that only he could see emitted a brilliant rainbow light in front of Roy's eyes, and at the same time, a message appeared in his mind and was instantly understood by him.

The mysterious Rubik's Cube, called the [Original Sin Cube].

It has the following abilities.

[1. The original sin cube can automatically absorb the original sin energy escaping from the world where it is located, increasing the energy reserve by 1% every day. 】

[2. The original sin cube can absorb items containing the power of original sin and convert them into its own energy reserves. 】

[3. Every time the energy reserve progress reaches 100%, you can light up a face, and get a talent according to the type of original sin power contained in the absorbed energy.] 】

[4. The original sin cube has a storage space, which can be opened and closed at any time, and the size of the storage space increases with the increase in the number of lit surfaces of the original sin cube. 】

[5. More functions will be gradually opened as the original sin cube lights up the number of faces.] 】

——

At this moment, as the energy reserve progress reached 100%, the mysterious Rubik's Cube in front of Roy's eyes emitted a dazzling light, and on one side, the pattern was extremely clear.

It was an animal shaped like a goat, with purple edges.

According to the main type of energy absorbed by the original sin cube this time, the original sin characteristic corresponding to the talent he obtained is [lust].
