Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

Before he had time to carefully recall how many dangers he encountered in that tower, the Lich had already led him through the bushes and over a steep slope, which went all the way down and completely deviated from the official road. The outline of the Silver Heart Fortress has been diluted by the fog in the valley, making it indistinct.

Etjaye was about two steps behind the Lich, and he didn't deliberately put his hand on the sword, but he didn't act too easily. If he acted too much, it would arouse suspicion. After all, he was planning to fight If the two groups of people in the family are like a family immediately after talking about it, then this person is either too naive and mentally insufficient, or most of them have a mental illness.Silly Baitian, who is intimate with everyone, can't survive three sentences in a bard's song, let alone real life.

As for the dark knight Etjaya, he is a common material for horror stories. He is generally not used in heroic poems, but in some novels, thrillers and mystical stories, he often serves as a clue character. He is the most dangerous man in the world. The mysterious knight who survived 20 years in the mage's tower, and during this long period of time, the words such as premature death, accident, misfortune, and brutal killing never fell on his head, so he must be regarded as an evil necromancer The accomplice and victim of the spell have two contradictory identities, and he is a person who longs for freedom, hopes for revenge, and is extremely vigilant.

Perfect rendition.

"Where are you taking me?" Atgaya asked as he walked, putting his hand on the hilt again.

——To be honest, pressing the hilt of the sword means that the person is very vigilant. In fact, this is a kind of prejudice. As a top knight, even if he is picking his nose indecently at the moment of danger, he will definitely have time Bounce the booger away first and then draw your sword to meet the enemy. Does it take a long time to move your hand that far?He can fly tens of meters of canyon abyss in an instant, will he die because of moving his hand more than ten centimeters?

But when Et Gaya did this, the Lich naturally became nervous. She also knew that she was walking too far without explaining anything, which seemed to be leading people into a trap, so she began to comfort Et Gaya: "Don't worry, We'll be there soon, we can't be stationed at the gate of the fortress, can we? Kantanaroa temple knights are rampaging there all day long, getting too close will shoot themselves into the muzzle! You guessed it, we are a great The plan, of course, cannot be realized by mere mere lich, I need to take you to meet our leader, he is the one who can command the legion."

And the Lich kept emphasizing their sincerity, just emphasizing, but did not reveal other useful information-oh, she seemed to have an inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere towards the "legion commander", but Et Gaya believed that the two A corpse doing something, even an ambiguous thing, will instantly become a horror scene.

Based on this, Etgaya judged that although this lich is powerful, there is a higher-ranking lich or necromancer above her who is a commander—since there is a commander, that name shows that this force has long been It has grown quietly, and it can basically be confirmed that this is the Annihilation Sect they are investigating, or an alliance of the Annihilation Sect.

So Et Gaya was actually not vigilant about this female lich at all, she was just sent to run errands.

He remained calm, but Ete Gaya did raise his vigilance, not just the superficial vigilance of putting his hand on the sword. If this lich still has a master, then Ete Gaya can't guarantee that he will be able to beat it. .

If they still have a spiritual connection, then the lich master plus the lich is much more complicated than one plus one.

Soon the scenery changed again. There was a small forest at the bottom of the hillside, and there were three or four figures in it, and there was a faint light of fire. Etjaye said in surprise, "You dead people also warm themselves?"

Wouldn't the dead be cremated by accident?Although the body of an undead creature cannot be harmed by ordinary flames, the undead creature warming up to the fire is quite magical. It probably feels like the high priest of light raised his hand and summoned a skeleton to dance for fun.

The Lich smiled, and her eyes were full of complex emotions when she looked at the woods. Even if her eyes were just flickering soul fires, Etjaye could see the clear emotions from them. Contains a great deal of fear.She stopped, pointed to the front and said, "He's waiting for you in front, you go by yourself, I'll stand a little far away, so as not to disturb your conversation."

This is also an expression of sincerity, although Etjaye thinks that the lich standing tens of meters away is of no practical use.

With full vigilance, Atgaya slowly walked into the woodland. There were three ordinary undead creatures in the forest. Atgaya's arrival could not cause any reaction from these corpses. There was a shriveled hole in their empty eye sockets. For the withered eyeballs, there is no soul flame, indicating that there is no independent thinking, so Et Gaya also directly ignored these easily dismantled corpses.

Further on, beside the campfire, with his back to him, sat a man quietly.

Et Gaya stopped when he was still a dozen steps away. This time, he unconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword. The man with his back to him seemed to be warming up. Roast rabbit, but Etjaye felt that he couldn't figure out whether the person in front of him was alive or not.

That figure has long hair between brown and heavy gold, which doesn't seem to be dazzling, but it shows a little light in the sun from time to time. The long hair is neatly tied into a ponytail and trimmed meticulously. He is a rigorous knight. The paladins of the Temple of Light especially prefer this kind of ponytail with all their hair gathered into a neat ponytail. have.

His back was indeed straight and straight, and his figure sitting by the campfire was noble and heroic, as if his buttocks were not dirt but an altar.

Et Gaya was almost in a trance. He felt the temperament that a priest of light should have from an...an undead?

It was indeed an undead, he used some kind of camouflage, his skin color was very similar to that of a living person, and his eyes had no flames, but it might be some kind of magical item worn on him for a long time, because although he concealed his appearance, He didn't hide the breath of death, so Et Gaya could clearly feel it—the cold and viscous death air hovering around him, his whole body was like a deep crack, connecting the land of death, from A sad wind with howling souls of the dead continued to blow out from inside.

Now Et Gaya feels like being forced to sleep in a cemetery while hugging a pile of rotting corpses. Even if he knows that this person will not suddenly go berserk, he still feels extremely uncomfortable from the inside out. This is a living person facing death. natural physiological response.

But - this dead man is full of knight style, dignified and calm, just from the back of him sitting there, one can almost guess that this is a knight who will be respected 100%.

"Who are you?" Etjaye couldn't help asking.

The man who looked like a knight, even a paladin, turned around and said seriously, "Dead."

His voice was deep and magnetic, but it still inevitably had the tone of a dead person, but when he solemnly emphasized that he was a dead person, Etjaye became more determined in his judgment——

He must have been a strict, even a bit rigid knight during his lifetime.

They're all dead, why can't they just follow the practice of normal living people, camping must raise a campfire?Light up the campfire and definitely have something to bake for dinner?The dead don't need to eat!A dead person can't eat, unless the dead person feels that he is not rotten enough, so add some food to his intestines!

"Et Gaya?" the undead man asked, and followed, "A dark knight from the snowy mountains in the north?"

"Yes." Etgaya raised his jaw slightly. Every knight will subconsciously make such a small movement when he sees other knights who are worthy of rivalry. They have the arrogance and self-confidence of being knights, and they have confidence in their own character and martial skills. It is also respect for each other.

The posture of the undead was almost the same as that of Et Gaya. They stood and sat, but when their eyes met, it was like two knights saluting each other.

—If the dead were still knights.

Etjaye doesn't know how to deal with a dead knight, maybe he was a highly respected senior. It must be mentioned that among the undead creatures, the death knight is not a knight, but a rank of the undead, which is completely different from the living knight. The same concept, a death knight usually refers to an undead who was a warrior in his lifetime. Regardless of whether he was a warrior, a berserker, an archer, in short, he does not use magic. He is called a death knight after he dies. , Black Demon Witch Corpse is at the same level, and they are all undead creatures that are the first level higher than the Lich.

Everyone knows that life and death are the most important things, and death can have an absolute impact on a person. Even if he was an excellent knight before his death, if he dies for a few years, he will definitely not be able to maintain his previous moral character.

——That's why this undead man gave Etegaya a great shock. Judging from his strength, Etegaya believed that he had been dead for at least ten years, but his figure was still elegant, and his style seemed to be no different from that of a knight.

Et Gaya bowed cautiously and said, "Excuse me, who are you, Your Excellency?"

The undead stood up slowly, he was a little shorter than the highlander Etegaya, but after he stood up, Etegaya almost had the urge to back away.

A terrible pressure spread around him, but it seemed the undead didn't mean it.

He also greeted him with the etiquette of a knight, and said, "This is the knight——Asius Quinlan."

With a buzzing sound, Etjaye felt an inexplicable dizziness, his eyes widened, and his fingers grasped the hilt of the sword more vigorously, feeling unprecedented shock at the name he heard.

He knew the name, and because he knew the name, his hands and feet became cold and his breathing became short of breath.

He just knew this name not long ago, Asius, the guardian of the sword, that... was ridiculed by Etegaya as "too much like a paladin brother".

——It turned out that it wasn't the name Yalan casually slurred when they first met, it was indeed a paladin brother.
