Chapter 1293: The Lighthouse That Ignites the Castle (Part II)
Barrels of holy oil were poured into the iron-cast, torch-like utensil in the center of the lighthouse.
A spark streaked out and threw it into the vessel filled with holy oil.
Splatter!
A faint echoing sound.
The entire lighthouse was lit up.
Chu He looked at the mad knight Xibo beside him.
His eyes were still chaotic, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Is it wrong?" Chu He was a little puzzled.
Although it didn't take much effort to do this, no one would like the feeling of wasting their efforts in vain.
"Wait!" Suddenly the Mad Knight spoke.
Although there were only three words, Chu He was unexpectedly aware that in his words, he heard a relatively clear and coherent manner.
"Lighthouse! Was it the lighthouse that made him sober?" Chu He thought strangely.
"It's not impossible, if my inference about the Crystal Knight is correct, and it fits the second inference. Then for ordinary people, ordinary souls, the future is like a sea of obstacles. Only a beacon that illuminates a strong light can guide him in the right direction. ”
"If Hippo is crazy, it's not that he's really crazy, but that his sanity has been brought into the fog of the future by the mysterious power attached to his blood. Then everything can be explained. In Chu He's heart, he had sorted out a complete sequence and got the answer he wanted.
Perhaps the old earl in the past, like Hippo, had awakened the power of the Mystic on his own because the concentration of his bloodline had reached a certain level, but he lacked the necessary guidance.
That's why there is the act of a lighthouse to guide the way.
Lighting a beacon to keep yourself awake and sane.
Later, the Earl of the Dwarf lit the lighthouse again, because he did not awaken the bloodline, so it was completely useless, just a simple luxury and waste.
Gradually, it was getting dark.
In the sky, one south and one north, there are two stars that are brighter and more obvious than ordinary stars.
They symbolize the goddess of the full moon and the goddess of the crescent moon, who are both sisters and rivals.
The goddess of the full moon has the priesthood of a good harvest, unity, consummation, and even partial marriage, and among many knights, the goddess of the full moon will perform miracles in a mysterious, great image to help the protagonist find a way out, or find a good match.
Most of the followers of the goddess of the crescent moon are hunters, thieves, and some outlaws who are nocturnal. Although the goddess of the crescent moon is not necessarily an evil god herself, because of her followers, her reputation is not very good. Some of these can also be faintly seen among the knights.
As night fell, the lighthouse light suddenly sprinkled the entire castle.
Even some of the areas of Velvet City, which were closer to the castle, became clear under the strong light.
It's like the day is not far away.
"Someone lit the lighthouse!" At this time, it seemed that someone had noticed something strange on the lighthouse.
Therefore, it can be seen that in the hall, the competition for the title is in full swing.
At this time, Hippo had already restrained the confusion in his eyes.
His quiet eyes were deep and wise, as if he had seen through everything and had the wisdom to master everything.
"Can I find a place to freshen up? I feel like I'm a little too sloppy, and it would be rude to go and see my brothers and sisters there. Xibo turned his head to Chu He and said.
In this sentence, there is a strong self-confidence and clear organization.
Chu He nodded and said, "Okay!
Chu He took Hibo directly to his room.
Although Chu He 'escaped' from the countess's room, the countess did not remove him from his position as chief of guard, let alone directly and directly wanted him.
Therefore, without the intervention and intervention of the countess, Chu He was still able to take two people and walk in the outskirts of the castle without hindrance.
Hippo, who has dressed up a lot, looks much more energetic.
Although he is still thin, the whole person seems to have an indescribable temperament.
"It's time to start our evening. Let's go to the hall!" said Hipp, with his arms outstretched, in a very graceful and calm manner.
In the hall, the battle at this moment has entered the stage of saber rattling.
The knight of the Black Clover family controls a lot of initiative.
Many mercenaries were cut to the ground.
Some of the guards gathered around the countess, while others were undecided.
Ophelia stood beside her fiancé with a nonchalant, calm expression on her face, as if everything was under their control.
Some of the cultists of the Shadow Order stood at the foot of the steps, and a half-hundred-year-old man, dressed in gorgeous gray-purple robes, was protected in the middle. And a man with freckles on his face is talking passionately, trying his best to show his presence.
The situation in the hall seems to be clear at a glance.
Both the Countess and the third daughter, Leia, were at a disadvantage.
Both by force and by power.
The eldest Jeff, backed by the Black Clover family, is the strongest.
Because of the special status of her fiancé, although there is no show of force, no party dares to despise her, so she has always maintained an attitude of watching from the sidelines, and has not been pulled down.
Now, it seems to be a battle between Jeff and Austin.
The Black Clover family is strong, and the Shadow Order is not easy to mess with.
Of course, although there are gods behind the Shadow Order, the gods will not send down any oracles for such a trivial matter.
This is purely a private act of some in the Order, and does not represent the will of God, or even the will of the Shadow Order as a whole.
The knights of the Black Clover Family, even if they are afraid of the power of the Order, as long as they don't kill the Bishop, then all this is still under control.
When Chu He, Hibo, and Decora came in, most of their eyes immediately shifted to them.
The countess's eyes looking at Chu He were strange and inexplicable.
Hippo, on the other hand, was very skillful in greeting several siblings, and did not seem to be there to compete with them for power.
In fact, no one looked down on Hippo.
A guard, a servant, with only such a little dependence, Hippo's hope of obtaining the right to the Amethyst Territory is dozens of times weaker than that of Ms. Leia, who is the weakest at this time.
In the face of 'relatives' who are not threatening, everyone is willing to show a little kindness.
If you can win it over, one more supporter in name and blood, it will also be a good result.
Hippo, on the other hand, did not show any desire to fight for it.
Instead, he said: "My father always told us that as the descendants of Amethyst, we need to unite in order to have the power to break all obstacles. If you fight directly together now, then neither the father who has died long ago nor the second brother who has recently died will want to see it. ”
Hippo's words ushered in silence and cold staring.
The old earl was almost always cold and contemptuous to his children, and treated them no better than even ordinary servants.
And the vendetta between the dead Earl and them... Don't mention it.
At this time, Hippo's mention of these two people, speaking in their name, always has a sneering flavor.
