All mortal worlds, God and man have a dream.

—— "the War of Dusk"

01

The jungle covered the sky and the sun, and the vines grew entangled.

Zichen walked cautiously in the lush jungle, holding a dagger in his hand.

He didn't know how he was so obsessed in the first place, and after thinking about it all night in bed, he signed up for the selection trial of the Knights Templar.

Then he was thrown on this uninhabited island, and there were 53 other people who participated in the selection test of the Templar Knights with him, most of them were elites of the combat department.

After Weier's brief explanation, all the people scattered on the island.After all, they are considered competitors to each other, and there may not be more than ten people who can finally enter the Knights Templar.

According to Weir, half a month ago, when a business traveler docked at the island and wanted to take a break, they saw creatures that seemed human but not human living on the island as soon as they landed.

The captain immediately decided to retreat, but still lost most of the crew.

A retired veteran on board recognized the terrifying creature as a ring slave, and immediately reported the situation to the military.The military immediately blocked the news and blocked the entire island.

The slave ring is the product of human beings' longing for the power of the Nibelungen Ring. Although the Nibelungen Ring was sealed in the kingdom of the dead by Odin, it is still destroying the world in its way.

The legendary Burning Flame Blood Oath is recorded in the ancient "Eda Fragments". Those who use the Burning Flame Blood Oath can have the power bestowed by the Ring of Nibelungen, but they will also become the Ring of Nibelungen forever slave.

They will become monsters that can only live in the shadows forever, and they will even gradually lose their will, becoming machines that only know how to kill.

Originally, the Burning Flame Blood Oath was a taboo that only a few people could touch, but in recent decades, Loki's daughter and Queen of the Underworld, Hel, has begun to establish various heretical religious organizations in the Westland, recruiting believers in the name of religion, Leading to several large-scale outbreaks of slavery.

The Knights Templar was ordered by His Royal Highness Vichypel to encircle and suppress the slaves.

They must fight day and night like those creatures that exist like monsters, beheading those creatures.

"Be careful!" Someone suddenly shouted at Zichen.

Zichen turned his head quickly, and a creature that seemed to be rotting and exposing bones suddenly rushed towards him. The blood-red flame emblem on his forehead was horrifying.

Before he could react, a huge sword fell suddenly, cutting off the neck of the ring slave.

"Do you want to die!" The man put away his giant sword and shouted at Zichen.

Zichen calmed his breath, this was the first time he had seen a ring slave, and such things should only exist in the bard's night talk.

The man looked around vigilantly, "My name is Roland, what's your name?"

"Zi Chen."

"Do you think this is just a joke? You will die here." Roland said impatiently, "If you don't want to die, follow me."

Zichen nodded quickly.

"Si Wen is over there, we'd better go find him quickly."

Zichen heard Dai Wen mention Xiwen. Xiwen and Delko are the two most outstanding people in this year's Hall of Valor. Delko is the second son of the blue-blooded Brutus family in the Political Council. .

And Xiwen climbed up from the military department step by step. It is said that he was asked to leave by Weir immediately after the Valkyrie's trial, and he is the key training object of the Combat Department.

And Xiwen and Delco have always been incompatible, which is well known throughout the Hall of Valor.

Those who joined the Hall of Valor also began to stand in line quickly. The sons of wealthy families naturally followed the young master Delco of the Brutus family, and most of those from poor families also followed Xi Wen.

Since the beginning of school, the two sides, led by Xiwen and Delko, have frequently fought over various matters.

Although Devon can only be regarded as an ordinary officer's boy compared to Delko, he also followed Delko with his gang of dudes.

As for Zichen, from the beginning of school to the present, he has no idea of ​​standing in a team at all, as if he doesn't care about the battle between the two sides at all.

However, the end of not standing in line is naturally not pleasing to both sides.

But no matter what, hearing Xiwen Zai Zichen felt that he had a solid foundation in his heart instantly, and it was a disappointment to God to have such thick legs and not hug him!

Along the way, many ring slaves came out, all of which were cut down by Roland's sharp knife. Zichen followed behind him and saw that he was not dead, and made up for it.

"Delco is injured." Sivan said as he looked at Roland coming over.

Zichen's eyes kept turning between Delko who was holding his arm and Xi Wen who was bandaging Delko's wound.

Well said... fire and water are incompatible.

"Who is he?" Xiwen asked, looking at the people behind Roland.

"Zichen, leave him alone. I'm afraid he will die immediately, so I brought him here." Roland went over to look at Delko's wound, "It's nothing serious."

"Don't touch me!" Delco yelled at Roland, if he hadn't been injured now, he wouldn't be staying with these common people.

"Young master, if it weren't for me, you would have been killed by the ring slaves long ago." Roland smiled, "There are endless ring slaves here, they can't be killed all the time, and I don't know when they will end."

"Let's go, it will be even more difficult to deal with the slaves later in the day." Xiwen said: "It is best to deal with these slaves as soon as possible while the day is bright."

"Then what will happen in the end." Decker raised his eyes and looked at Siwen.

"How do you count?"

"Xiwen, you should know that there are no more than ten people in this selection. If there are four people together, how will it be calculated in the end?"

"Young master, do you really want to join the Knights Templar?" Roland snorted softly.

"It's not a question of whether I want to or not, as long as it is something I want to do, I must do it." Delco said: "After all, I am the heir of the Brutus family."

Delco is the second son of the Brutus family, but because the eldest son was born with a disability, everyone knows that the real heir of the Brutus family is actually Delco.

"Don't you just want to defeat others and join the Knights Templar?" Sivan looked at Delko and said.

"Otherwise? Didn't you come here just to join the Knights Templar? Don't think I don't understand, you common people just use every opportunity to climb up. Join the Knights Templar, you think you can turn over completely Yet?"

"I just wanted to kill slaves. Do you know how many people died because of slaves?" Sivan gritted his teeth and looked at Delco.

"I just want to beat other people." Delco said to Siwen nonchalantly.

I just want to get out of this island alive... Zichen lowered his head and thought silently.

"Don't argue for now, I heard voices over there, let's go over there." Roland said.

"En." Xiwen nodded.

Zichen quickly followed.

Delko sat there and didn't want to follow them, but seeing them all go together, he gritted his teeth as if a little resentful, then picked up the flintlock gun beside him and followed.

For the slaves, they have lost their blood circulation system, and there are only two kinds of attacks that can kill the slaves, one is to cut off the slave's neck directly, and the other is to directly use the bullet to pierce the slave's forehead and burn the flames coat of arms.

Siwen was fighting with a slave, but another slave jumped up behind him, but was shot in the forehead by the flintlock gun in Delko's hand and died.

He glanced at Delko and said, "Thank you." Delko nodded, "If it wasn't for me, you would have gone to hell."

Several people gathered together and kept hacking and killing the slaves along the way.

"Wait, we've been here before!" Zichen shouted suddenly.

"These places are all like this, they are all trees, there is no difference." Delco slashed at the ring slave in front of him nonchalantly.

"No, we have really been here." Zichen panted and said, "And, even the ring slaves that appeared are exactly the same."

"These ring slaves all look alike."

"No, many of the slaves here look very similar to the boatmen in Xilu. I suspect that these slaves were originally the crew of that ship." Zichen said, "And this guy with the binoculars behind his waist has appeared three times. gone."

After finishing speaking, Zichen directly cut off the head of the ring slave with the binoculars pinned to his waist, "After he dies, a ring slave who is blind in one eye will jump down from the nearby tree."

Before Zichen finished speaking, a ring slave wearing a black blindfold suddenly jumped down from the tree.

"And then the one-armed ring slaves."

Roland directly chopped down the one-armed ring slave.

"And then there will be a lot of ring slaves showing up overwhelmed."

A few people kept hacking and killing the ring slaves that swept over like an ant colony, Xiwen looked around, "That's right, I have killed this ring slave with a pocket watch several times."

"Go back to the place just now. We stayed there for a long time and didn't quit slaves. If that's the case, it should be safe there." Roland said, licking his chapped lips.

The four returned to the place where Delco bandaged the wound.

"There is definitely a problem here." Zichen gasped, his physical fitness has never been very good.

"... Ouroboros." Roland said suddenly, "Ouroboros."

"What do you mean?"

"World Serpent, Jormungandr," Delko said as he loaded his flintlock, which had Brutus' family crest branded in mithril.

"In ancient mythology, after Loki was beheaded by Odin in the First Twilight Battle, his child Yermungand got the phoenix blood from his corpse, which could make his soul immortal, and then sank In the abyss, transformed into a huge earthly python."

"It is said that Yermungandr's body is so huge that it can surround the entire courtyard, and then hold its own tail."

"And in the ancient religion, Jormungandr also appeared in the image of ouroboros." Delko continued: "And ouroboros represents endless reincarnation..."
