Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

Light-colored blond hair, long, like the first ray of sunlight coming in through the gaps in the heavy curtains in the morning, it is actually not bright enough and not as shining as gold, but it is the first time that Etegaya feels that this kind of hair should be widowed. The light and unenthusiastic color looks very warm, and he has to wonder if those who judge only by clothes are blind. Mingming Yalan can't cover up his brilliance even if he wears a plain apprentice robe.

So, who cares about anything else?He is going to be a fire servant, and the fire that burns must be a holy fire with its own holy light.

In this way, he can say with certainty: "Let's not talk about dark elves, even if you tell me that you are a troll tomorrow, I will probably think that trolls are the most perfect race in this world."

"Ah..." Yalan rolled her eyes with a smile, "Do you need me to grow two fangs first?"

Atgaya felt that his drinking capacity must have dropped significantly.

If you drink too much, you will love to think about things.

For Et Gaya, he seldom dreams—because the dreams in this life may have been fulfilled when he was a child. Like the standard villain in every bard, he also had a lonely and helpless childhood. Highland Although people also have city-states and capitals, there are more villages scattered among the snowy mountains, and they can even be called tribes. Looking back, the frequent fights between tribes for hunting grounds are actually no different from village chief fights. The scale is not large. Both sides are wearing heavy coats, like a group of clumsy bears without fangs and claws patting each other on the back, but For a child of a few years old, that was a very scary thing.

The cold, the hunger, the horn that blows now and then in the long night, so it's strange not to have nightmares, isn't it?

Later, the fleeing gang of bandits washed his small village with blood—in this way, Etgaya can be said to have taken a key step in opening the road to blackening and anti-humanity. His childhood was miserable and he had no father or mother. The tribe with a sense of belonging was slaughtered again. It stands to reason that the mind is twisted and full of darkness. Everyone will show a dark smile. It's okay to conceive a plan to destroy the world. What a perfect villain's life.

——Ait Gaya tragically found that he couldn't do it!

Why can't you just do something bad with peace of mind?At the very least, be ruthless or something!

But Etgaya's ideal is to be a knight, the kind of hero who supports justice, protects the weak, and sacrifices himself for others. He always feels that the tragic villain does not sound as heroic as the tragic hero, so in the words of the priest Helena , that is, "Is your brain frozen into an ice lump, so your thinking is frozen, so that you can't restrain your rushing spring and autumn dream?"

Therefore, Helena commanded two skeletons to beat him endlessly every day.

The little boy with a bruised nose and a swollen face rolled around under the magnificent dome of the temple, which became the unique style of the Shadow Moon Temple for a while. As an assistant in the teacher's laboratory, he was instructed to do some tasks that Helena would never do by himself-such as skinning toads and crushing sheep's eyeballs into powder. These are disgusting, and some are dangerous Yes, Atgaya didn't want to go into detail, most of the magical creatures in the laboratory left him with indelible memories.

... Torturing a devil was a later thing. If he hadn't stayed in Helena's laboratory for a long time, how could he be able to skillfully torture a devil?

One day, Et Gaya suddenly discovered that he didn't know when the skeleton could no longer pierce his thigh bone casually, and he could even dismantle dozens of skeletons a day with bare hands, and every bone was perfect. ——Then Helena arranged for him to grind the disassembled bones into powder...

Helena is indeed not an amiable mentor, but he did help Et Gaya realize his ideal. He became a dark knight. He is a knight who traveled all over the world under the title of apprentice.

So there is one more ideal of Et Gaya, he wants to be a top knight, he must not disappoint his teacher.

This is also because Et Gaya knew from a young age that the fate of living up to the teacher's expectations is terrible. Know which corner and the demonized Timberwolves are singled out...but the scariest thing is not these——

One day, Etjaye couldn't do the chopping action right away, and finally exhausted all her patience, Helena grabbed him by the neck with a murderous look, dragged him to a corridor, and pointed at a white man in the distance. The doll says:

"See? If you dare to disappoint me again in the future, I will throw you into the Temple of Light. The priests of the Temple will use holy fire to sterilize your whole body and let the holy light enter your body to torture you." Let you experience the pain of being tormented by flames and being burned by strong light, and life is worse than death."

When he was a teenager, Et Gaya had nightmares for a year after returning home. In the dream, there was always a priest of light with light golden hair, holding a holy flame in his hand, trying to sterilize his son of darkness.

... But, the problem is, this priest seems to be very good-looking. Although Etgaya couldn't even see his face clearly, he just relied on his imagination to judge that this person must be good-looking. Later, he didn't know whether it was I always dream about him because I think his parents are good-looking, or because I always dream about him and think he should be good-looking...

In fact, most young people have a rebellious period, which we habitually call adolescence rebellion. When Atgaya reaches this age, he, like most young people, used to dream of priests and would always run away. Now He wanted to get closer and try.

Moreover, the holy light seemed to be much warmer than the snow field.

……

Et Gaya didn't know when he fell asleep, and he also dreamed about what happened many years ago——

When he turned around, he found that the priest who really existed beside him, this holy light no longer existed in the imagination of his dreams, but was sitting on the side, looking solemnly into the distance.

The sky has turned white, the campfires are emitting a little green smoke, and most of them have been extinguished-but there is no silence at dawn, and there are noisy people in the distance, and loud shouts from time to time...but it doesn't sound like a new type of morning entertainment. , rather like a scream of terror.

The paladins surrounded the cargo in silence, Etjaye glanced at them and jumped up.

"I'll go and have a look, don't move."

"No, I'll go with you." Yalan stood up, "Others, pay attention."

They were approaching the center of the chaos amidst the chaos, and the curiosity of the creatures was really strong. Even though there were screams inside, there were still people trying to get closer to have a look, and those who had seen it screamed at a similar volume, trying to go out. If you run, people who haven't seen it outside will be even more curious, and you have to be frightened yourself-so the traffic jams.

"Dead man, dead man—"

There was such a commotion early in the morning that the Yinxin Fortress had to dispatch guards.The soldiers of the fortress forcefully squeezed a passage from the crowd, which saved Etjaye from the trouble of doing it himself. He protected Yalan and followed behind the guards. Yalan folded his hands in his sleeves, as if rubbing his hands, To prevent the fingers from being frozen enough by the early spring chill once it is necessary to cast a spell.

Seeing this, Et Gaya quietly grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Ahh—" A young soldier who was walking in the front immediately joined the screaming army. The young man jumped three feet high in fright, and his helmet fell off. He was kicked aside by the captain who arrived behind, lying Retching on the ground.

"Everyone is quiet, everyone is quiet!" The captain of the guard yelled, but his expression became extremely pale, "What's going on!!!"

Etjaye and Yalan looked through the crowd and saw two dwarves lying on the ground in the center of the crowd. There were no wounds on their bodies or signs of struggle, but they were lying quietly on the ground with stiff and distorted faces, obviously dead .

If only two people died, not to mention two dwarves, but two giant monsters died here, well-informed mercenaries and businessmen from all walks of life would not call it like a death banshee being choked, the real horror is these two people The whole body was covered with purple-black pustules, which flowed disgusting juice, exuded a rancid smell, and were covered with maggots.

The expression of the dwarves was very serene, and the expression was still cheerful, and even gave people a creepy feeling-it seemed that they died very comfortably.

Their corpses seemed to have been dead for half a month and were still rotting freely under the scorching heat, but many people present knew that these two dwarves sold them black fire wine yesterday, and many people asked for a discount in order to buy two more glasses. Chatting with others enthusiastically until the middle of the night.

Hours passed, before daylight and still wine, they were found behind the barrels, as if dead for a long, long time.
