At the same time that the Chu River was killing people and taking people, at the other end of the castle, changes were also taking place.

The moonlight is sultry and the stars are misty.

In front of young Ophelia, standing in the way is the mad knight Hippo.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?" a hint of consternation flashed across Ophelia's face. At this time, she was wearing a nighttime outfit and close-fitting clothes, which outlined her figure quite perfectly.

The firelight at the top of the lighthouse still shines on the castle and seems to reach any dark corner.

But in fact, how is this possible, even the light of the scorching sun cannot extinguish and isolate the darkness and corners, how can a mere fire have such power.

But Hippo had a mysterious and eccentric smile on his face, his hair was meticulously groomed, and although he was dressed plainly, he also had a distinctive demeanor.

"Of course I'm waiting for you, Ophelia. Hippo called by name.

Ophelia said: "Is that so? However, Charlie will come over soon, and if the fourth brother has anything to say, let's say it as soon as possible." ”

Ophelia looked a little anxious, but moved her fiancé out.

Hippo shook his head, his bright eyes staring at Ophelia, and said, "No! A good dream, maybe... He thought he had spent the night with you. ”

"Ophelia, you're a witch!" Hippo followed with a sentence that directly blocked Ophelia's quibble.

"You're a witch!" Hippo repeated, accentuating.

"Fourteen years ago, you killed our father... Perhaps, he is not your father. After all, you are a witch, and it is rumored that witches will avoid themselves in the woman's body and be reborn after being seriously injured. In this way, you can change your face, not only to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, but also to recover from irreparable serious injuries. Although it's a little troublesome, I have to say... It's a really useful tool. ”

"Father saw through where you came from, so you killed him, but disguised him as a violent death. Otherwise, how could the father, who also awakened the bloodline of the Crystal Knight, die so easily. Hippo recounts the hidden events of the year with an attitude similar to that of the waves.

His eyes seemed to see through the fog of time and learned the secret hidden behind time.

Hippo then did not wait for Ophelia to deny or admit it, but continued to push the conversation forward: "You killed my father and took the amethyst. Because you know that if a new Crystal Knight appears, then it will definitely see through your actions. In that case, what are you coming back here for?"

Ophelia was somewhat silent.

Hippo skips her rebuttal and willfully pushes the conversation to the next stage of the topic of her being a witch and killing the old count, making Ophelia a little difficult to communicate.

At this moment, it seems that whether it is an answer or a silence, it will be obvious that the truth is admitted.

"If I were really a witch, if I really killed my father. So how can I, who is only eight years old, be able to kill, see through the future, and become the father of the Crystal Knight?" asked Ophelia.

Hippo replied, "There is more than one future, Ophelia. Perhaps, among many possibilities, your father saw your repentance and confession. We will truly become a family. So he chose to believe you, but it's a pity... He seems to have chosen the wrong one. ”

"And I'm different, Ophelia. I have always chosen the most pessimistic attitude towards the future. Right now before my eyes, you still have many possibilities, you may cry bitterly, and then go to your father's grave to confess. It is also possible to deny it outright and then turn away. And then most likely... Still so. ”

As he spoke, Hippo withdrew and swung his sword.

A sword blocked a sudden stab from behind.

It was a special kind of strange energy made of dark thorns, with a curse and poison, and if stabbed, it would kill you instantly.

But the strength of the Crystal Knight lies in the fact that he has already seen the possibilities of the future before he makes a move, and has therefore found the means and methods to deal with it.

They may not be the strongest, but they are definitely the toughest.

Unless he has the strength to crush, everything that is enough for the Crystal Knight to be destroyed is a way to destruction. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to kill a Crystal Knight, especially if the opponent has a lighthouse to guide the way.

Now, Ophelia is experiencing the hardship.

She performed a total of six different magic spells, transforming her magical power into various forms, but she was always dismantled by Hippo in some simple but unbelievable way.

Hippo's swordsmanship can only be regarded as average, but seizing opportunities everywhere will make him invincible.

"Ophelia, I'm not looking for revenge on you. In fact, my relationship with my father was not very good. I just need you to give me the family heirloom amethyst, I don't even like this castle, though... "Although what Hippous did not say.

Amethyst is important not just because it can guide the Crystal Knight's path.

It can also replace the lighthouse and play the role of guidance.

It's just that the activation of amethyst also requires energy, some extraordinarily special and special energy.

Therefore, the old earl of the year will build a special lighthouse to guide the direction.

"It seems that you don't know everything. Your gaze may see through time, but there are forces or substances that are beyond your power that you will ignore and cannot see. You know what amethyst does because you inherited the bloodline and awakened it. But you don't know what a real amethyst is. Ophelia was covered in black mist at this time, as if a veil had been put on her, and her black lips and slender eyeliner made her look particularly bewitching and evil.

"Yes, you don't know what an amethyst is. So now, how about giving it to me?" another voice interrupted Ophelia and Hippo's conversation.

In the dark shadows, dozens of shadows pounced.

These shadows are extremely powerful assassins.

When they attacked, even though Hippo had a strong ability to predict, his physical fitness could not keep up, and he could only barely avoid fatal injuries.

As a witch, Ophelia is much stronger.

The black fog that enveloped her body was a little thicker, and strange, like an old ballad-like incantation, flowed quickly out of her mouth.

The crescent moon in the sky seems to have suddenly been plated with a strange purple.

That, of course, is just an illusion.

The change of moonlight is limited to Amethyst Castle.

The witch is a special mystic who serves the goddess of the crescent.

Obviously, the third party who suddenly pounced out of the shadows at this time was none other than someone from the Shadow Order.

They may have been lurking in the shadows for a long time, following Hippo or Ophelia, waiting for the moment to strike.

No one is a fool.

When competing for the position of earl, the more indifferent the guy, the more he relies on.

The reason why they are indifferent is that they do not fight. Maybe it's because they have something more important.

Chu He should be glad that it was precisely because of Ophelia and Hippo's 'low-key' 'conspicuousness' that he became more transparent, and it also made him improvise and kill the countess without being exposed to the eyes of others.

After all, long from the beginning, the Countess was already out.
