Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Seeing Monomon closing his eyes peacefully and floating quietly in the jar, the knights couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

As the creator of Hallownest's most widely circulated poetry collection, "Hymns of Hallownest", the Teacher could easily gain a foothold here based on her influence alone, not to mention her long-standing suggestions on Hallownest's construction and the construction of medical care.

It is inevitable that the Teacher's contribution to the development of Hallownest today must be mentioned, and although she rarely appears, her reputation has already spread throughout the land.

Only they knew that such a highly acclaimed teacher was now floating alone in a jar slightly larger than her body, surrounded by deadly acid.

Just as she uses knowledge and actions to silently nourish the land beneath her feet, there is no rain when she comes and no wind when she leaves.

"Let's go." The White King brushed his sleeves in front of him, and Wum went through the wall. The room was suddenly shrouded in an invisible seal. Not long after, there was an array pattern under their feet, emitting a faint white light.

At this time, the knights were still looking at the jar, looking at each other in silence, with mixed feelings in their hearts, until the white light became stronger and almost enveloped them.

At this time, a blurry tall figure slowly bent down and gently placed something on the ground in front of the jar. Seeing this, the other figures all bowed.

The white light suddenly dissipated, and the room returned to the silence it had not long ago. In front of the acid tank, a white flower was lying there quietly.

It makes the figure in the jar no longer lonely.

"Good night, teacher."

......

The heavy atmosphere had not yet dissipated, and the surrounding scenery changed again. The familiar scenery outside the transparent window suddenly came into the eyes of the knights. When they saw this scene, the uneasiness in their hearts suddenly reached its peak, and Hegemer's emotional change was particularly obvious.

As the calmest brother in the team, panic and tension appeared on his face.

His throat rolled up and down, his pupils under the mask widened, and he dared not look up.

He was more familiar with the scenery here than any other knight. He knew every brick and tile, every building, and even where he was now, without even looking up.

But deep down he wanted to deny all of this. He would rather believe that his memory was confused than admit where he was.

The other knights were exactly the same. Although their reactions were a beat slower than Hegmer's, they still understood everything when they saw the telescope beside them.

"See Your Majesty."

Lurien's gentle voice echoed in their ears.

So after teachers, it’s the watchers?

My king, what are you going to do?

On the top of the Watcher's Spire, in addition to the White King and his entourage, Lu Ryan and his butler, there were two figures that made the former look a little unfamiliar. After bowing, he retreated to a distance and waited quietly there.

"Who is that?"

The White King spoke softly and added, "He looks familiar to me. I seemed to have seen him on the street when I patrolled the main city last time."

Lu Ruien responded: "Saens, the finance minister of the main city, one of my capable men, is also..."

There was a slight pause in his voice, and his tone became slightly lighter.

"He is also the minister I think is most suitable to take over my position."

After hearing this, the White King raised his eyebrows slightly and shifted his gaze again to Sainz who was not far away.

"Sainz?"

"I'm here! Your Majesty!"

Hearing the White King's call, Sainz responded hurriedly, walked quickly to him and lowered his head.

The former looked him up and down, his eyes did not reveal much surprise, but he saw some changes in the collector who was following closely behind him.

He remembered that he had asked Orgrim to send this flawed creation to Lurien for processing, but he did not expect that he would give it to Sainz as a guard.

You have to know that this is a gift from the king, and its nature is extraordinary. And since Sainz can get it, I think Lu Ruien really values ​​him very much.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anything different about him from ordinary people. As a minister, my current impression of him is just average.

Facing the White King's scrutinizing gaze directed at him at the same time, Sainzton was speechless for a moment. He felt the pressure doubled and clenched his fists hidden under his robe.

For a government official of his level, there was almost no opportunity to meet the king. Now that the king was standing in front of him, he felt a little flustered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Lurien said you are the most suitable candidate to take over the main city, but in my opinion, no other candidate can replace him. He said you can, what do you think...

"Do you think you can handle this responsibility after Lu Ruien leaves?"

Sainz did not answer this fatal question. He remembered Lu Ruien's earnest words to him a few days ago. After thinking for a moment, he said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, I don't..."

He was just about to say that he couldn't do the job without Lu Ruien's help, in order to indirectly change the White King's idea of ​​employing the insect candidate, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Lu Ruien's stern gaze from the corner of his eye.

The rejection in that look was too obvious. Sainz immediately swallowed his previous thoughts, gritted his teeth, and said, "I won't let you, the Lord Watcher, down!"

"Okay, I understand, please step back first."

The White King still had no reaction. He didn't want to explore Saiens's character. Since he was Lu Ruien's favorite minister, he naturally believed him.

Sainz turned his head to look at Lu Ryan, who was looking straight at him with obvious meaning. Seeing this, he lowered his head in disappointment and quickly left the top of the spire.

After this departure, I am afraid I will never see today’s Lord Watcher again.

The knights listened to their conversation quietly. Hegemer frowned slightly at Sainz, the successor appointed by Lurien.

He could not sense any powerful aura from Sainz. Compared to the Lord Watcher, he was just an ordinary mortal. It would be difficult for him to convince others if such an important task was entrusted to him.

As the lord of a city, one must be both civil and military. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, you will be unable to protect yourself.

But then his idea overlapped with the White King's. The main city could not produce a second watcher. Since it was the latter's decision, he must provide more assistance, no matter how difficult it was.

After Sainz left, Lu Ryan walked to the other end of the room without waiting for the White King to speak.

This was originally where the coffee table and desk were placed, but now a large space has been cleared out, leaving only an overlapping stone platform.

The stone platform also had no decorations and appeared unusually peaceful under the surrounding candlelight.
