back in time not long ago

Knight Academy Office in the City of Silver

bump! With a sound, a man slammed his hands on the table.

What! ? Are those little brats desperate for their lives?

Calm down Ren, I'm also very unhappy about this, but now that it's happened, we can only try our best to find ways to restore the situation.

Renn: Alas, the freshmen nowadays are really becoming more and more undisciplined, but who, Gawain, is responsible for catching those brats back? Keen is probably involved in this matter and the other elders are either out or have to deal with Keen. So who will be responsible?

Gawain: Didn’t you say it yourself? Now there are still ways to move around in the Silver City. There are not many people... It would be better to say that it is just the two of us.

Renn: Damn, compared to other professions, we have too many! Why is there not even half a usable one at such an important time?

Although he said this, Ren still stood up and prepared to go out.

Gawain: I'm sorry to buy you a drink when I come back.

Renn: Forget it, aren't you going to see that mysterious adjutant? Maybe I won’t be able to come back until tomorrow.

Gawain: Hello! Isn’t it just asking you to arrest people? Is it necessary to curse me like this?

Ren: Ahaha! Let’s first say that I want the bottle of 82 wine in your hand!

Gawain: X! Don’t even think about it! I've been waiting for so long and haven't even taken a sip of that bottle of wine. How can I give you an advantage?

Renn: Ahaha ran out of the office, leaving Gawain standing alone.

Gawain: ...Forget it! Isn’t it just a bottle of wine? The worst possible thing is to give him a share! ...boy over there, what do you think?

Uh-huh! Dean Gawain’s time is almost up! After all, that person found the time with great difficulty.

Gawain: I understand, help me prepare the car and I’ll go there now... By the way, where’s the gift?

It's already been placed in the car, now it's up to you.

Gawain: Okay, let's go. Don't keep that person waiting. After all, this is a meeting that we were lucky enough to successfully make an appointment for.

Yes!

10 minutes later

The reception room of Jiangce Palace

Gawain: Gawain, the second seat of the Council of Elders in the City of Silver, has met the Star Adjutant.

At this time, Gawain performed a quite orthodox knightly salute to the woman in front of him and then observed the woman in front of him. However, the black cloak made of an unknown material and painted with star patterns blocked his sight and was only hidden in the A pair of star-like blue eyes and a strand of black hair were exposed under the cloak.

Gawain: (As expected, the cloak will hide her identity as rumored. Any detection methods are useless. There is no record except the word "star".)

Star Adjutant: Hello, Elder Gawain, what we are going to talk about this time is the prophecy about the City of Silver, right?

What came from under the cloak was a clear but majestic female voice.

Gawain: (It really makes people feel a sense of oppression. No wonder few people are willing to ask this person for help... This sense of oppression alone is enough to deter many people.) Yes, it is about hundreds of years ago. According to the prophecy, we will usher in the arrival of the great King of Knights. However, the predicted time is only a vague time and not a clear time, so I hope the Star Adjutant can use stargazing to help.

Adjutant Xing just shook his head lightly and said: ...You don’t have to worry about this prophecy. I can only say that the time is coming, and it seems that some of your students ran away from the fleet without permission, right? It's best to catch him back quickly or you'll be in a lot of trouble.

Gawain: ...What do you mean?

Adjutant Star: That’s all I have to say. Unless you have other questions, please come back. I have a distinguished guest to see next.

Gawain frowned. He had heard that this adjutant was very good at prophecy, but he never said much about prophecy.

Gawain: So for the last question, will the operation go smoothly this time?

Adjutant Star: ...if you are fast enough.

Gawain: I understand. Thank you, Adjutant Star, for taking the time to help. Then I won’t disturb you.

After speaking, Gawain quickened his pace and left the reception room.

And after Gawain left

Adjutant Star did not move but just sat on the chair and said: ...What you do will have an impact on the future.

And what she responded to was a burst of warm laughter.

Hahaha, a destined future is not interesting at all, Xiaoxing, and he is not a weakling who will be tied up by a mere fate.

Xing: ...I won’t care if he gets angry.

Don't worry, they can't do anything to me.

Return to Lin Changye

Lin Changye: Then let’s do a little experiment and see.

As he spoke, Lin Changye slowly clenched his hands and at the same time, the sword energy cage surrounding the Machine Emperor began to gradually shrink with his movements.

Because of this sudden move, the Machine King's armor, which was unable to reflect the surface, began to be shredded by the sword energy!

Lin Changye: If you only have this kind of strength, then you will die tragically like this.

Zhi Yan: (Your Majesty, please be careful. I can feel something hidden under the armor coming out.)

Lin Changye: Well, I felt it too, and...I also felt some familiar auras but I couldn't remember what they were...Forget it, I really can't remember them.

Zhong Yan: (Eh? Your Majesty, look like something is coming out from under the armor.)

Lin Changye: Don’t call me Your Majesty! Just hearing these two words makes me sick to my stomach now! But it seems we were right not to kill this thing with a sword from the beginning.

Lin Changye was currently staring at the things that were constantly coming out of the cracks in the Machine King's armor.

Lin Changye: ...Okay, regardless of what this thing will become, at least now I know what the colorful black looks like.

At this time, as the outer armor gradually shattered, the colorful black liquid continued to overflow and finally covered the entire armor. The last black knight covered in barbs appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, after the barbs solidified, the Machine Emperor exploded. A powerful energy was released. The energy was so huge that it even blasted away the sword energy prison!

Lin Changye: ...Not to mention that the color scheme is very uncomfortable, where did this slime-like thing come from? Where did the kid who was inside go? Even if it’s science fiction, it’s not science fiction, right?

Zhong Yan: Well, Your Majesty, this thing is quite interesting.

Lin Changye: Why is it interesting?

Endgame: This energy has the ability to distort reality, but it requires a considerable amount of energy as a price.

Lin Changye: Is the ability to distort reality so powerful? Why do I feel like there is nothing special about it except that it tastes bad?

Zhong Yan: I think it’s because Your Majesty, you directly absorbed the energy. The ability was absorbed and transformed before it had time to take effect. Of course, it’s useless.

Lin Changye: ...I understand, but why didn't he move?

At this time, the Machine King still stayed in place and did not move. Except for the energy burst just now, he did not make any movements.

Lin Changye: The body is not moving but the energy is spreading out. What is this doing?

Zhong Yan: Well, the energy he released covered the surrounding dark energy... as if he was eating.

Lin Changye: Eating energy? Is it similar to my ability?

Zhong Yan: No, after all, Your Majesty, your ability can be said to be a kind of error code. To put it bluntly, it is a bug. It is unique and has no possibility of being copied. And in my opinion, it is more like erosion than eating.

Lin Changye: ...erosion?

Lin Changye blinked his eyes. In his eyes, the black energy was like paint falling on the ground formed by dark energy.

Lin Changye: Frankly speaking, it’s really uncomfortable to watch like this.

In Lin Changye's opinion, this was as uncomfortable as the black marble floor being splashed with colorful black paint.

Eventually

Lin Changye: How long will you continue to investigate? If possible, I'd like to do it.

Zhong Yan: Well, let's do it. Your Majesty, it's just a waste of time to continue reading. It's better to use me to be safer.

Lin Changye: Okay, by the way, do you think the kid inside is still alive?

Zhongyan: I don’t know? But wouldn’t it be clear if you cut it down anyway?

Lin Changye: Yes.
