Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

Lich Asius felt that he had been deceived.

During his days in the Temple of Light, he added a regular activity every day: fighting with the dark knight Et Gaya after dinner.

Of course, it was Et Gaya who finished dinner. Liches don’t need to eat. The temple dinner is usually later than normal people after evening prayer, so when they fight each other, it is usually already dark. At this time, they come back from evening prayer. The knight priests went directly to the training ground, and everyone lit a holy light in their hands, and the holy light illuminated the excited faces... Lich Asius felt that this day was really hard to live on!

How much difference is there in the real strength between him and the dark knight Et Gaya? It is impossible to know... because neither of them can use their full strength. What will be the result of the fight.

Asius took it for granted that he was stronger, because he had killed Et Gaya once, but Et Gaya didn't think so. He felt that first of all, he was more than a dozen that time, and second, the purpose of that battle was not to kill the opponent but to kill him. Destroying the magic circle, from this point of view, Ategaya has achieved his goal, and Asius is the loser.

So Asius pointed out very dissatisfied that in all the actions against the Annihilation Sect in the past 20 years, he had secretly released water and cooperated from time to time, so he was able to fight so smoothly.

after that……

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense, see you at the training ground.

As usual, the Lich Asius rushed towards the martial arts arena in a cold air, but found that the person standing on the ring was not the black figure of the past, and there were only a few people in the surrounding stands, and several high-ranking priests were sitting in a row. , standing on the sidelines were the current two commanders of the Paladins, and several Paladin captains.

Asius: "?"

The people in the stands were wearing the standard paladin armor, just looking at their faces - "Master Mino?"

Asius was surprised to find that his opponent tonight was the supreme leader of the Temple of Light, Holy Lord Mino.

"Where's the Knight of Etjaya?"

"He was ordered to be recalled to Shadowmoon." Mino explained, "I'll trouble you for your guidance today."

Asius repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the Holy Lord for his trust. You came and I talked a long list of ceremonial nonsense. A black-robed man who was out of place among the priests in the stands yawned hugely, and threw a hellfire Between the two of them, they said very impatiently: "Do you want to fight, or sleep if you don't fight!"

The black-robed man sitting on the stand didn't think about it, it was naturally Helianna, the priest of Siyue, and Yalan sat far away from him for the first time, and the two seemed to be angry.

"Asius." Yalan's voice still met the standard of soft words, "Don't worry about your status, just compete."

One of Helena's eyebrows flew high into her hair.

After a while, Asius stood silently by the side of the ring, and the paladins hurriedly lifted the Holy Master who had been knocked down to the bottom of the stage to lie flat, and the priests rolled up their sleeves mercilessly, throwing healing spells at random.

There was no suspense in the fight between the Lich Asius and the Holy Lord Mino, and they were overwhelmingly crushed.

Mino has ridiculed himself as "the weakest holy master in history" more than once. In terms of force value... His words strictly abide by the holy knight's creed of honesty... Mino's force value is of course top-notch in the eyes of ordinary people. But in the more than 2000-strong Paladin Legion, I am afraid that he will be ranked downstream. Since he became the "youngest holy master in history" at the age of 19, he has been involved in frequent affairs, and he has been fighting with the Annihilation Sect for so many years, 20 years All of Rimino's energy has been upgraded on his brain power, strategizing and commanding the overall situation, and playing tricks with all kinds of careful and thoughtful noble forces, so it is not incomprehensible that his martial arts stagnate. If he can follow the normal promotion process, he will be healthy. Growing up steadily, with Mino's talent back then, he might be the "strongest holy master in history" now, but the reality is that his martial arts temple is at the bottom, and he may be a little backward from when he was 19 years old.

No wonder they cleared the field... It's not a good picture for my Holy Master to be beaten on the ground by the Lich.

When Arthur looked up, he saw the dark tide between Helena and Yalan.

Suddenly he understood—probably, the two casters decided to maintain their demeanor and refused to fight each other, so they each found an agent?In other words, Yalan secretly used a trick to get Asius to beat the sweetheart of the great priest Helena as revenge?

So what is their contradiction?

Ashes came to a horrifying conclusion in his mind - Helena called Etjaya back to be in charge in order to see Mino, so Yalan... Yalan... the long-dead heart of the Lich He felt a sharp pain, and the fire in his eyes was burning unsteadily. He remembered that Et Gaya said a word triumphantly. He really didn't want to repeat it, but he went to the big library to look it up carefully afterwards. The culture and customs of the dark elves, and the current state of Yalan, I am afraid that the best word to describe it is the one that Etjaye said.

Desire, desire, dissatisfaction, satisfaction...

Asius' eyes went dark, and he fell down with a bang, smashing a hole in the ground of the temple training ground.

Everyone present surrounded him in surprise, especially Mino who was being treated, and everyone asked in astonishment: "Holy Master, what did you do? Why did Master Asius faint?"

"No, Lich will also faint???"

"Then...then do you want to continue tomorrow? I originally thought that the Holy Master would have to fight with Master Asius for at least a month to make any progress..."

Asius woke up in the room. He lived in a guest room that was rarely used in the temple, because the main living area was full of priests of the light department. Shadowmoon is in use, the light attribute here is not strong, and it is just right for the lich to live in.

He opened his eyes and saw one black and one white standing in the room, Helena and Yalan were standing side by side, and the great priest was still gathering dark power to help him recover.

"It's done." Helena said, "This is a major academic breakthrough in necromancy! When encountering something 'more serious than death', undead creatures feel no less emotions than living people! In the past, it was generally believed that Dead people lack emotion, and now this point of view is going to be overturned!"

Helena looked at Asius with satisfaction, her expression seemed to have the urge to catch him into the laboratory. For most people, nothing is bigger than death, so more than [-]% of the undead creatures showed emotions Lack, and Asius seems to be no different from ordinary people in many cases, so Helena can't help admiring. In the eyes of this former paladin leader, is personal life and death so insignificant?

"Thank you." Yalan said.

Helena snorted, turned and left.

Only Asius and Yalan were left in the room. Through the dead eyes, the lich saw the elf who was still alive and well. The blessing of nature brought him incomparable vitality. In the eyes of the lich, this kind of Power is far more wonderful than the dawn light in the morning, which makes him yearn for it infinitely.

"Asius, what exactly is your obsession?" Yalan suddenly asked unexpectedly.

Asius himself was stunned for a moment. They all thought that the lich's obsession could not protect the high priest... But looking at it now... Ashus lowered his head, feeling that if it wasn't because of his death, he might will blush.Yalan looked at him with gentle and open eyes, as if she was not at all embarrassed by that "pursuit" that was called a farce back then.

He shook his head: "I... I don't know either."

"Ah, it's fine if it's not me." Yalan spread his hands, "You know, although Etjaye said he didn't care at all, he didn't do that when he closed the door. If you really refused to rest because of me, then I There is no way to 'rest' for the rest of my life."

Arthur's heart started to protest again. The upright paladin might not be able to understand such nasty words, but the Grand Lich, who had been dead for 20 years, had never seen such a big storm. He was a dead man. Most people don’t shy away from dead people. He can’t tell how many inappropriate scenes he has seen for free, but now Yalan tells him bluntly that the high priest of light likes inappropriate things as much as he closes the door. Asius still thinks Beyond the bottom line of psychological tolerance.

But the Grand Lich suddenly laughed.

Yalan tilted her head curiously: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm sorry." Asius raised his head and said frankly, "I'm sorry, the Asius of the past imagined you as a glorious high priest."

"Could it be that you think I'm meaner now?" Yalan's ears twitched, "Although meanness is a good compliment for dark elves..."

"No, what I mean is that I overlooked that you still have your own personality outside of righteousness." Asius said, "For this, I beg your forgiveness. I am afraid that the past me is also a burden on your shoulders." Well, at that time I hardly saw your expression other than a smile, let alone..."

Desire... Beg... Don't... Satisfy...

Asheus swallowed the word back, he continued: "You are not my obsession. I know that for 20 years you have regarded my death and fall as your fault, and until now you also feel that I am obsessed. Is it your responsibility? That’s why you hid a great lich like me in the temple, let the knights compete with me, and even asked the knights of Etgaya to come to me to compete with each other on a regular basis every day... Thank you, to this day, you are still The guiding light of Asius."

There was a slight gleam in Yalan's eyes. He seemed a little surprised, but at the same time felt joy. He just smiled at the end: "Then I think, now you know how the time from now on will pass."

"Every day I see those young children, see the endless stream of believers, and see the lively crowd on the street... Even though I am already a dead bone that should have been quiet and rotting long ago, I still... like all of this." Yaxiu Si said, "At that time, I also thought that my obsession was the 'high priest', but later I realized that it is your duty to protect the world, the high priest, so I think I may know why I don't want to rest in peace."

Yalan's smile became brighter, Asius looked at him and said firmly: "This world is so beautiful, I can't get enough of it."

All life rises and falls, dawn and dusk meet in the sky, all kinds of things are dizzying.

So Jiesumiya can order Asius to attack Yalan, but he can't make the Lich do anything that will harm the world. Lan, the Knights Templar he is most proud of, the farmland in the countryside that he can't let go of, the squire who once favored him tremblingly said to his grandson with his beard trembling: "The hero who came back from death, more than 30 years ago He even swept the floor at our house before!"

"Ashus, I have seen a lot in the prophecy of the Eye of God. In the future that may come true, there are still many, many tribulations in this world... Ashus, if those times come, you still In the human world, please continue to protect this world." Yalan said, "And out of selfishness, I will no longer be qualified to fight to guard the sacred tree in this life. I don't know if I can ask you, in the future In time, in the time when there is no Yalan in this world, watch the elves for me, and protect everything that I had to give up in the past."

"Okay." Arthur replied.

"If you really can't rest in peace, please enjoy the world to your heart's content, go see the scenery you want to see, try things you have never experienced in the past, and see where time will lead the future , Asius, may the God of Light always bless you, as always."

He stretched out his hand, Asius stared at the elf's slender fingers, his fingertips were moist and transparent in the twilight, Asius slowly held that beautiful hand with his claws covered with ugly black scales, this promise He agreed, and it will not change until the end of time.

He thought about the words Yalan had said before, grinned and said:

"Make the most of everything, huh?"
