God seal

White Rose City, the branch of the Church of Light, Yvonne is listening to the report from his subordinates.

"So the noble convoy traveling with us belongs to the Lisibetin family."

"Yes, my lord, certainly."

Yvonne frowned slightly.

Lisibetin, Lisibetin.He repeated the last name silently.If those people belonged to the Lisibetan family, Lord Sarandeer should have recognized them at first sight.Your Excellency didn't show up at the time, and later acted alone. Could it be related to this?After all, the Lisibetin family is not only the half master of the famous Rose Knights in the mainland, but also the family where "Knight" Nanni was born.If the person sitting in that carriage was really the heir of Lisibetin, wouldn't it be the descendant of Lord Salanduel's old friend?But why did Nanni's heir fall to the point of becoming the proton of the capital?Who dared to attack him?

Yvonne was contemplating the relationship between these issues, when another knight reported outside: "Captain Yvonne! Eddie and the others are back, and Lord Sarandeer has also entered the city with them!"

Yvonne was stunned for a while.

"What did you say?"

"Lord Sarandeer—" the paladin who came to report took a breath, "the city he entered with them. He didn't hide his identity, and now the city is about to fall apart." Unlike other cities, White Rose There are sculptures of Sarandir all over the city. Even if those sculptures are not five points similar to himself, the appearance of an elf in White Rose City is enough to make people stop and watch.

What's the trouble?There was a gap between Yvonne's eyebrows, she hung up her sword and went out quickly.

At this time, the gate of White Rose City was already in chaos.

Searle walked into the city, but he didn't hide his sharp ears.After being discovered by the first passer-by, the news that "an elf appeared in White Rose City" spread quickly in the city!The onlookers along the road did not dare to get too close to Searle, but their fiery eyes were enough to burn people.

Looking at the unexpected situation caused by a certain elf, Bossian said blankly: "Sometimes I really don't understand what you are thinking. When you went to Fann City and Fengqi City, you tried to hide yourself Identity, why did you come here—" He looked at another passer-by who fell down because he was staring blankly at Searle, "but he seemed eager to expose his identity immediately."

"You guessed right." Searle replied, as if he was waiting for something, "It is more convenient for me to conceal my identity in Fann City and Fengqi City, but the situation here is just the opposite. Mage, you might as well guess again. "

He even had time to banter with Bethian.

"Is it the nobles of this kingdom who will come to us first, or other forces in the city? Maybe we can place a bet."

Reid and Archie were in high spirits, but Bethien saw through him and said, "You have the chance to win, so what else is there to guess?"

Eddie rubbed his head: "Isn't Captain Yvonne coming here first?" The young paladin asked curiously, "My lord has exposed his identity, the captain must be the most worried about him, and the church will definitely send someone over to respond."

Bo Xien said: "Of course the Church of Light will not miss this opportunity to propagate in disguise."

The mage imagined the scene, the paladins of Dui led the servants of the gods to greet Salanduil, and proved their close relationship with Salanduil and even Eli in full view, and promoted the greatness of the God of Light brilliant.

Simply disgusting.

"However," said the mage, "this does not mean that they will be the first to arrive."

As if to confirm what he said, just before the commotion in the crowd caused by Thur spread further.People heard a series of neat and powerful hoofbeats, and saw a group of knights coming from afar from the inner city.They are well equipped, mount godly horses, and look heroic.Seeing them, the onlookers could not help avoiding them one after another, with awe in their eyes.After approaching Searle and the others, the group of knights first separated the crowd of onlookers in an orderly manner, and then one of them rode forward and carefully looked at Searle's appearance.The horse he was sitting on paced gracefully with his master's movements. After a while, as if he had verified a guess in his heart, the strange knight's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Before the other party could speak, Bothian mocked in a low voice: "A group of glamorous knights is simply a nightmare." As soon as he finished speaking, he teleported away as if he couldn't bear it anymore.

Before Searle had time to feel happy about finally getting rid of this burden, the knight on the opposite side had already opened his mouth after deliberation.

"Dare to ask," said the knight in silver-white armor, "Where is Lord Salanduel ahead?"

His voice was exceptionally loud, as if he was deliberately speaking to the crowd around him.

What is even more surprising is that the elf didn't deny it, he nodded slightly: "It's me."

Eddie and the others looked at him in astonishment.

After hearing Seir's confession, the knights who were restrained and polite just now became agitated.The leading knights immediately jumped off their horses. One took the lead, and the other knights also got off their horses in unison.They stood in a row in front of the elf, looking nervously at the elf.At first, a knight glanced at Searle, then lowered his head again, and put the sharp sword in his hand across his chest.

Behind him, a group of knights in silver armor with roses embroidered on them all looked at Salanduil.They made the same movements as the leader, put their long swords on their chests, and said as if reciting a long-standing oath: "Welcome back, Your Excellency Sarandeer. The place guarded by the Rose Knights has never been lost." !"

Shout loud!Those sonorous and powerful words shouted by the knights were like a torrent, instantly bringing the elf's thoughts back to the past.

……

"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"

When the elf opened his eyes vaguely, before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, he heard a not-so-gentle female voice whispering in his ear.

Searle looked up at the roof in a daze, he didn't seem to know where he was now.

"Thur." The female knight with the long sword on her back stretched out her hand worriedly, and shook it in front of the elf, "Are you okay? We were all terrified when you were carried back to the camp. If you come out What happened, the elf king will definitely anger all human beings, and that will make things worse."

Hearing the word "Elf King", Searle seemed to be a little sober at last.

"I..." He tried to speak, but found that he couldn't speak at all.

The female knight stopped him.

"Olivier and Bart are waiting for you outside. Let me tell you the bad news first. The human cities in the south have been breached, and the last human country will also fall. The demons are menacing, and the world is in danger. Searle, should you do it? make a decision."

The female knight would not allow him to look directly into his eyes as if avoiding it.

"Do you stay here and continue to immerse yourself in your grief and anger, or take people who are willing to follow you to support other regions? They can wait for you, but they can't wait for too long. Olivier and Bart, and those who follow you The human mercenaries who came, they all have their own relatives and countries. If you can no longer lead them to fight, they will go to fight by themselves. But... Although I don't want to say this, but this will definitely cause greater casualties .”

The elf felt a little bitter in her heart. Nanni was always so straightforward, frankly presenting choices and reality before her, which was unavoidable.

But why me?

Seldo wants to ask, wants to shout!Why is he destined to bear all this, bear these expectations, and bear these human lives!

"Why is this so?"

An uncontrollable sigh almost made Searle think that he had uttered his heart inadvertently.But when he looked up, he found that the one who said this was Nanni who had always been cheerful and strong. It made people feel that no setbacks could overwhelm her.

She still straightened her spine, but her eyes were slightly darkened.

"At first I thought that even if I was a woman, as long as I could become a knight, I would be able to save the declining family, and keep Lisibettain, who had no male heirs, from being destroyed; then I thought, no matter how others criticize , As long as you prove yourself with your strength, one day people will agree with me like they agree with my father and brother."

"You did it." Searle said, "You are now one of the best knights on the continent."

Nannie smiled bitterly.

"However, I still haven't been able to change the situation, I haven't been able to stop Bailey's death, and I haven't been able to stop you from losing your mind."

People always marvel at her strength, but they completely forget that she is also an ordinary girl who should have grown up under the care of her father and brother.The family tragedy changed everything about her.

"You've done enough, I can't blame you..." Searle wanted to say that it was irreversible, but he was stunned, his chest felt dull and painful as if he had been hit by something.

"But I can't blame you." Nanni looked straight at him, as if she was waiting for him to say, "We are humans and elves, not gods. There are always things in the world that we cannot do, Searle. But again, there are things in the world that we have to do."

The 15-year-old girl chooses to cut her long hair and carry her arms; the newly grown elves choose to leave their hometown and go to the mainland for experience; they all have responsibilities and burdens.They can't ask the world "Why me", because it is destined to have no answer.

Searle was silent.

After a long time, he said hoarsely, "I'm going to the southern front."

He had finally made the decision Nanny had wanted him to make, and the knight's eyes filled with tears.

She seemed to be speaking to herself, but also to Searle.

"Sorry, I can only let you go forward."

[Sorry, Searle. 】

【Bailey is gone, but I will stay. 】

[This piece of land that bears your sorrow, I will always guard it for you. 】

The female knight's voice still echoed in her ears, but her figure gradually disappeared from the elf's eyes.The only thing Seir can hear now is the sonorous and powerful shouts of the knights in his ears.

"The land guarded for you has never been lost!"

"We've been waiting for your return!"

This is what Yvonne and the other paladins saw when they arrived.Yvonne looked at Salanduil surrounded by the Rose Knights with complicated eyes.

Armed with flowers and guarded by a sharp sword.The Rose Knights, the famous armed force guarding the Kingdom of the Red Rose Knights on the mainland, was established by Nanni Lisibetain for her promise with her best friend.The first generation leader of this knight order is Nanni, and the honorary leader is Sarandir.But Nanni kept her promise and guarded the city forever for the elves until she died in battle.

Now the deceased has long since passed away, but the knight order she left behind has been passed down from generation to generation, and the torch will never stop.Now that Tan'er has arrived, the world has changed, and the status of the Knights in the kingdom has become more and more embarrassing.At this moment, they finally waited until they made a vow with Nanny, who seemed to be the only one capable of leading them out of the predicament.

After all, Nanni had already left. When the Rose Knights welcomed Salanduil, how much was out of the sincerity of keeping the contract, and how much was more for their own interests?

Why didn't the elf understand this, but scenes flashed through his mind - the chariot of the Lisibetan family being attacked, the paladin of Hephas with unknown purpose, the druids fighting with the knights of Hephaes , the inexplicably missing red dragon.Finally, all these mysteries forced him to step into his old place and return to the place where all tragedies began.

From the moment he decided to expose his identity and step into the city, he had made a decision.Perhaps, from the moment he left the holy city, it was destined that those old scars and new engraved mysteries would all make a grand appearance here.They are all waiting for a grand puzzle-solving, a complete end, and a final showdown.

Looking at the rose knights bowing their heads in front of them with different thoughts, Sarandiel whispered to no one.

"Yeah, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
