"Your Highness."

The knight got up quickly and saluted the girl restrainedly.

"The knight commander just came to talk to me." The messenger answered the words smoothly, and looked at the proud girl with blue eyes, "It's getting late, let's go back."

Victoria glanced at the silent knight, then at the envoy who stood up, and finally calmed down, smiling:

"I was the one to be rude, Knight Commander."

The knight didn't answer, but just took a step back. Amber eyes looked at the messenger's indifferent side face again, and finally pulled down the cloak, bowed his head to say goodbye, and disappeared into the rain.

It's just that even though his footsteps are steady, his back is still a little gloomy after all.

For a long time after that, the messenger did not see the knight commander again.

until the day of departure.

……

The knight commander, who covered his face with black leather armor, was no longer the most conspicuous member of the knight order. In order to facilitate walking at night, everyone changed into dark coats. Even Victoria took off her white robes and used Gold-rimmed cloak of dark blue velvet.

As for Louis, he kept a black and white magic robe in his space ring all the year round for emergencies. Therefore, when the female students who came out from the temple to bid farewell saw a different messenger from the past, they couldn't help showing surprise and surprise.

Wu Xie was secretly observing Garner, who was leading the team ahead.

Compared with those who just arrived in Vosorum, the current young people have undergone great changes in both clothing and temperament. The most stark contrast with the previous ones is the power of light surrounding him. If Ghana, who just entered the dirty pool, is A candle, now he has become a bright lighthouse, the intensity of the light is almost comparable to that of Victoria.

as well as……

"His clothes remind me of a game I played before." Wu Xie said to the system, "Cthulhu theme, there is a basic hunter suit inside, it looks like this."

"What does the host want to express?" the system asked.

"This cosplay is too handsome." Wu Xie said, "I want to wear it too."

"Magicians don't disdain heavy armor, they only want to wear a large robe, which is fireproof, waterproof and antivirus, don't even think about it for the host." The system said, "But after returning to the transfer station, the system can help you rebuild a set, and take a screenshot by the way, and return it if necessary." It can be developed into a photo."

"That's peace of mind." Wu Xie laughed, "I want the electronic version."

Victoria rode her horse along with the envoy, which happened to cover the eyes of the ladies looking at the envoy. The man seemed to look down at her, and the girl curled her lips and said in a low voice:

"Affinity is light, but mystery and awe are also an integral part."

The man showed a tacit attitude, but the knight walking in front turned his head slightly, glanced at the messenger with a distant look, and the earnest girl waving a bouquet in the crowd.

For a moment, he seemed to see himself.

After entering the Rain and Mist Forest, the Knights encountered several waves of small beasts as expected, and tried to avoid them in various ways-of course it was not impossible to fight, but it was not worthwhile to fight head-on. Their main purpose was still to hurry, not to Hunting, and even if the hordes of beasts are wiped out, the loot cannot be completely taken away, and the strong blood may attract as powerful mountain monsters as last time, which is completely unnecessary.

The setting sun soon sank to the end of the valley. To be on the safe side, the Knights didn't take advantage of the night to rush wildly. Instead, they found a safe place and pitched up a few decent tents, and decided to sleep in the open.

It was night, and Wu Xie was awakened by a cold snap. The black mist that was visible to the naked eye had already enveloped him layer upon layer, completely cutting off the light connection between Victoria and him, and putting him into a state of "the power is low and he will turn black"—to tell the truth , There is almost no suspense about who did this, but Wu Xie still hesitated a little about this kind of divine development. He had a vague premonition of the other party's purpose for doing this, but he felt that it was too sudden.

Out of the need to maintain the character design, he immediately propped up the mask and opened the tent, and quickly chased towards the source of darkness.

The appearance of the camp could no longer be seen from the outside, and even the movement in the tent could not be sensed. The messenger emitted a violent beam of light in the mist, but what illuminated was countless squeezed parasitic vines!

Easily destroying the countless vines that spread over, the power of light quickly weakened. The messenger dodged left and right in these troubles, and finally rushed out of the layers of black mist before his power was exhausted, and came to the high cliff—— Stripped from his body, the scattered gold fragments were like flying fire.

The knight who also broke through the fog froze in place for a moment.

When the full moon was in the sky, the man stretched out his hands to brush the messy black hair from his forehead, and the cliff wind brought up his black robe with gold-edged patterns, revealing a pale wrist, and the gold tassels hanging from the shoulder ornaments swung backwards. Turning his head, the deep pool of his right eye was illuminated by moonlight, while his left eye was hidden in heavy shadows, and his expression was blurred in the well-defined light and shadow.

The strong wind and the dead leaves flew together. He occupied a condescending posture, showing an indifferent attitude inadvertently, and the black silk gradually scattered between his fingers. He put down his hand, turned completely to face the knight who suddenly appeared, and opened his thin lips lightly:

"Master Knight, why are you here?"

"The reason is the same as yours." The knight lowered the tip of his sword and said in a low voice, "Come after the darkness."

"Unfortunately, there is no darkness you want here." The man smiled, "There is only a completely harmless fallen angel."

"Really?" Garner looked up at him.

"I said, Lord Knight." The fallen angel gradually retracted the corners of his mouth, and asked rather indifferently, "You can't be really stupid enough to think that I am the source of darkness."

"You're not, I know." The knight showed a tired attitude, sitting on the gravel by himself, "I'm tired, I want to take a rest."

He was deeply buried in his arms, as if he was really tired. The fallen angel looked at the raging black flames around him, watched the performance calmly, and finally did not expose the other party.

Except for that walk in the rain, he hadn't been alone with each other quietly for a long time.

The wind brushed the sleeves of the two, sending the fallen angel's gentle voice into the distance:

"Master Knight, do you believe in reincarnation in this world?"

The muscles under Garner's short felt shawl suddenly tightened. He looked up at the smiling fallen angel. Facing the man's slightly lowered gaze, he seemed to reply calmly:

"Ah."

"Then." The fallen angel resumed his usual smile, "Let me tell you a story about reincarnation, okay?"

Garner didn't say no.

"A man named W was forced to enter an unknown magic realm in order to survive. The master of the domain asked him to become another man named Y. This was originally a good thing, but the master of the domain gave a special setting "The fallen angel sat on a high rock by the edge of the cliff, and said calmly, "W must 'teach' Y through abuse and beating, so that he learns the means and methods to deal with others-W could not bear such a setting at first, he tried Cheated, failed, nearly died, and..."

"He compromised?" Garner asked.

"That's right." The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "W found that he could not resist the power of the master of the domain, so he decided to change the rescue method. On the surface, he 'taught' Y according to the master's settings, but in fact, because of guilt, he intentionally or unintentionally released Y Y, although in the eyes of those around him, his performance is no different from before."

"The domain master didn't find out?"

"No, but Y found out." He pursed his lips and smiled, his black eyes looked clean and clear, "Y quickly became stronger, and finally one day, he defeated W, because W did a lot of things to him before. So, Y put W in the coffin."

"And killed him?" Garner was obviously a little confused about where the story was going.

"No, Y took him away, and treated him as the most valuable collectible in life, to control him for fun, in an attempt to find solace from this person." The fallen angel said, "When W realizes that Y will not kill When he lost him, he accepted this fate frankly, and as compensation for mistreating Y, he no longer resisted."

"..." The knight fell silent and moved his lips, "This is not compensation."

"How?" Louis narrowed his eyes with interest.

"What the avengers look forward to is the moment when the prey is struggling and desperate." The knight rubbed the handle of the blade unconsciously with his fingertips, and the knight said, "The prey that loses the desire to resist cannot satisfy the avenger's expectations at all, let alone compensation. A kind of...torture."

"...Really." The smile gradually subsided, and Louis nodded, "...you are right, W finally realized this after his death, but unfortunately, the Y in the last world was just split from the domain master It was just a product of W, and it dissipated into the sky after W left."

"But soon, a new test came, and I decided to use a tough attitude to deal with the specially set W who met the new Y. This time, he was a wizard, and Y was his medicine man. W did not show mercy, and he maintained the original Lived the settings released by the master of the domain, only for the last time, Y asked him to go out to see Maple Leaf together."

His tone lowered, gently melting into the wind:

"Because of the domain master's control, he died again, and finally missed the appointment - he has been thinking, if there is a chance, if... If there is a chance, he must fulfill this promise."

"This story sounds very unfeeling." The knight said calmly, "W's guilt and commitment are useless, he still lives for himself... However, everyone is like this, and he is not a special case."

"Indeed, W's rationality made him accept the current situation." Louis said, "He must live, and only if he lives can he have a future—afterwards, of course... there will be new troubles. The released puppets chased and ran around, and finally met Y who is the law enforcer."

"He suddenly had an illusion." Pushing his hair back to his forehead, the man said softly, "It seems that he is about to reach the light circle when he is walking at night, and he suddenly feels at ease."

"Louis." The knight's amber eyes reflected the moonlight, "What do you want to say?"

"In this story, W, who is desperately chasing Y, is willing and has no complaints." The fallen angel looked down at him, and the wide sleeves were blown up by the wind, "...Maybe what I want to say is just this."

"The one who has been there from the beginning to the end is the chaser." Garner stood up and looked down at the man sitting on the rock. "It is the master of the domain, and this is his chase."

"But W is also involved." The man leaned over, lowering his seductive voice, "Maybe at first he just wanted to escape by himself, but now—he wants Y to come out with him."

Warm and humid mist sprayed on the side of his face, and Ghana froze in place. The moment he had no time to react, his jaw was pinched by the other party, and he looked straight into the deep pupils of this man with black roses in full bloom. Heart palpitations.

"Although you give up, everything is mine." He said, "This is what W wants to say to Y the most, Sir Knight, can you understand?"

Amber's eyes trembled violently. Garner swung the opponent's hand away, and stepped back as if he was greatly stimulated. His lips trembled, black flames shot up all over his body, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"I always tell stories so poorly." The man slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger unconsciously, "It's hard for you to hear this."

He stood up in a leisurely manner, showing a gentle smile:

"Master Knight, are you... hiding something from me?"

"This has nothing to do with you." The knight lowered the brim of his hat, his voice became tougher, "Have a good rest, let's go."

After tidying up the gold tassels on his shoulders, Louis did not expose the blunt and clumsy topic change of the other party, and followed the other party walking in the black mist with a smile.

Most of the fog has dissipated, and the glass-colored sky is spread at the end of the forest in large chunks, and the source of the darkness can no longer be traced.

The camp was extremely quiet, but fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

Quietly lifted the tent and entered Victoria's tent. When the fallen angel came out again, he had changed back to the indifferent and alienated messenger.

The knight looked at the other party and entered the camp as if nothing had happened. He didn't even look out of the corner of his eye. His five fingers wearing leather armor couldn't help but clenched tightly, as if some spikes had penetrated into his heart little by little. There was a scraped scar.

Covering his face and coughing muffledly, the knight suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes turned black, and his whole body seemed to lose all strength.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, he bathed in the light of dawn and fell asleep in embarrassment.
