Dragon and knight Ji gl

When Lev realized that she seemed to have agreed to something terrible, Natia Vida had already left.

So she continued to read the letter.After mentioning the "heretics", Lord Deborah did not elaborate on what bad things those heretics did and how they deceived people.

"... Before entrusting you with the task of returning to the south, I have gone through a lot of consideration. You have only just become an official knight; even? It has not been a year since you started your first task. .At this time, is it? Is it appropriate for you to face such a cruel thing? But you did not live up to my expectations."

Leif glanced again at the date at the end of the letter.On December [-]th, when Lord Deborah wrote this letter, she was still in the castle in the Danse desert, looking for clues like headless chickens.Lady Deborah has never doubted the possibility of her mission failure? Not even Leif herself has such confidence, but Lord Deborah seems to have foreseen the end of the mission.

"This kind of cruelty does not mean that you face powerful monsters, but against your own kind. I have met many knights, no matter how evil monsters are, they will not kill their fighting spirit, but they? Can't do anything to a monster in human form either. But you did.

The third lesson I teach you is "justice", and I suggest that you stand on the side of humans in conflicts between humans and non-humans.The fourth lesson I want to teach you is "people's hearts".

The scariest thing is not the monster, but the human heart, the most fragile and dangerous human heart.People's hearts are full of various desires, such as money, beauty, power, status, fame... When any of these desires expands beyond control, monsters will also appear in people's hearts.These monsters hide deeper. If we don't get rid of the roots as soon as possible, more monsters will be produced.

And the responsibility of judging human beings usually falls into the hands of the secular royal family and officials, and a very small number of people who do serious harm need to be cut off through the temple.

Everything seems to be arranged.If you haven't experienced this mission in the south, maybe I won't entrust you with the mission of suppressing heresy.In order to avoid panic, there are very few people who know about this matter. Apart from you and me, only a handful of key personnel know about it.

If you succeed in your next mission, you will have the opportunity to go to Lukefei Icefield, where the center of the temple is located, in the bitter cold of the extreme north. Then Leif, you will become the youngest Templar on this continent.

In the course of your next mission, I will entrust you with one of the authority that only Templars can have? I will give you the right to life and death, and you can judge yourself beyond the secular royal family; In emergencies, there is no need to stick to it, just do it cheaply.

May your heart be like a bright mirror, free from evil customs; be determined and unshakable.May your steps be where justice is directed.When you return triumphantly, I will meet you at Lukefei Icefield.

Deborah

December 930th, Year [-], Temple Calendar"

Leif got up from her chair and read the letter again.When she saw "Lukefei Icefield" and "Sacred Land Spirit", she knew that what Captain Hilton and Lance said was right, she was indeed about to go further soon.And judging from the tone of Lord Deborah's letter, the missions issued to her all have specific intentions.Deborah's expectation of her is probably more than just letting her become a Templar—even if the Templar is the highest status that can be achieved by the living knights.

If this letter had arrived earlier, it would have matched the knot that Leif had encountered in the task he had just completed.Just like Master Deborah said, she doesn't know much about being afraid of powerful monsters, but because of her empathy for the same kind, she will indeed be afraid when facing humanoid monsters.I am afraid that this kind of psychological barrier cannot be overcome by a few words, but Leff knows that she can do it. She was able to kill the beast-like Prince Noren before. Mr. Leander killed... She could do it because she knew she should.

But the letter came a bit later, after she learned of the existence of the "player".

The heretics in Deborah's mouth, if they are not players, Leif will let himself judge them under the banner of justice without hindrance, if they are indeed evil and unforgivable If it is, it may take their lives in a tense situation-this is one of the powers of the Templars.

But if those heretics are players, that is, time travelers like her, then it will be different.

At this moment, Leif still feels in his heart that even though the players are human beings like the common people in this world, the players are closer to "human beings" than the human beings in this world.You have to ask why, because only Leif and the "players" are real, while the rest are, after all, fictional.

The scales of justice that Deborah spoke of in her last letter are still swinging at this moment.Last time, humans were placed on the left, and aliens were placed on the right; this time, people from another world were placed on the left, and people from this world were placed on the right.In fact, the difference between human beings and other races is not as big as the difference between this world and another world for Leif.

Leif is experiencing a dislocation of identity at the moment.This world is the one that brought her back to life, and she wants to protect it; the other world is where she came from, and even though she's been in this world for 17 years, the other world still deeply affects her her way of thinking and doing things.In the laws of this world, the temple has given her the right to judge, life and death, and everyone in the area under the temple agrees with this power; however, in the laws of another world, she does not judge The same kind of power is impossible? It is considered a crime for players to hurt game characters.

The balance is now tilted towards people from another world.There is no other reason, but because Leif and the players are of the same kind.

Good and evil have nothing to do, the same kind naturally favors the same kind, and this will never change, unless those kind deeply offend her.

Leif then unfolded the letter with the new mission.

--

Early the next morning, Leff got up before the sun rose, and practiced the knife for a while as usual.After washing up, he and Natia Vida had breakfast together, and then the two set off on their way.

Lev accidentally turned his face to the side and glanced at Natia Vida, and was startled by the latter's straight gaze, covered in white sweat.She recalled that last night Natia Vida shyly mentioned the "Dragon Slaying Manual" to her again through a door panel.But her thoughts at that time were completely out of it, and she vaguely remembered that she seemed to agree to something.

Thinking of what was written in the "Dragon Slaying Manual", Leif felt rather uncomfortable.

The author of this mischievous booklet obviously didn't want it at all? The idea of ​​slaying the dragon is very intimate with the dragon, and since the fourth form has reached the step of "laying eggs", it is conceivable that the previous forms It's just laying the groundwork for laying eggs, who knows? What kind of weird thing will the next move of "Slaying the Dragon" be...

Leff thought of this, and tightened his grip on the rein.

Lily raised her head as if feeling something, stopped, twisted her neck and turned her head to look at her.After Lily stopped, Medra, who was jumping up and down on the treetop beside the road, also stopped, let out a drink, and landed heavily on top of Leif's head.

Natia was originally riding alongside Leiv, but when she realized that Leiv was a few steps behind, she stopped, turned her horse towards her, and asked with concern: "Miss Knight, what's wrong with you?"

After seeing Natia Vida approaching, Madeira stepped on Laifu's head to borrow strength, jumped onto the branch and fell.

"No problem." Leff was slightly embarrassed. Fortunately, the road here? The road was originally in a remote place, and there were no pedestrians at this time, and no one noticed her strangeness.She thought, "Sometimes the horse and its owner are too close together. It's not a good thing to connect with each other." She tugged at the reins and urged Lily to move forward.

Who actually wrote this eccentric pamphlet?

Maybe that person—no, that thing, it's definitely not a mammal, it lays eggs, and it must have been planned for a long time, she wants to? lay eggs with a dragon, and... and the thing really has the ability The dragon lays eggs.

Thinking that there would be a thing that can lay eggs, adore Natia Vida, admire Natia Vida, and want to? lay eggs with Natia Vida, Lev felt? a bit sour Something came to my mind.

She felt that the guy who laid eggs was brave enough to dare to think like a dragon; she also felt that that guy was blinded by the love stories made up by some weird human beings, so he was so bold and whimsical... …

And if this booklet just fell from Natia Vida, then Natia Vida might have known about the existence of that guy, and even kept his works.

Thinking about it this way made me even more angry.

"Damn it." Leif was very annoyed by that invisible imaginary enemy.

"Miss Knight, I will be worried if you do this." Natia Vida looked at Leif's angry look, and couldn't help showing worry, "Who made you angry? What if? It's hard to solve Enemy, maybe I can be of service to you..."

Leif slapped her on the forehead, and she felt that she was going crazy, and her mind was full of bloody things.Fancy it? No good, but after all, why did she care so much about the guy who compiled the "Dragon Slaying Manual"?There must be a valid reason for her to care so much.

"What are you doing?" Natia Vida asked, "It's all red."

"Did you already know the origin of the "Dragon Slaying Manual"?" Leif asked, "I only got the booklet after I met you for the first time."

"That's not true. I just want to ask who is the person who gave you this manual, who actually used such useless things to fool the poor lady knight." Natia Vida gave Lev a rather loving look, " However, the "Dragon Slaying Manual" came from me to yours. It is not impossible. I happened to go to a heritage site at the time, and I didn't look at it carefully, so I swept away the contents, and then I was injured again, maybe one or two fell out, isn't it impossible?"

"That is to say, you didn't know about the existence of this booklet, let alone the editor?" Leif felt a little fortunate.

"Yes. I've always been curious. It seems that the author of this booklet knows my preferences." Natia Vida looked at Leif doubtfully, "But, Miss Knight, you know? This booklet The brochures are from Xibei, so what are these for?”

"Yes... this is because... of course I'm worried, just one dragon egg is enough trouble, if... there is another dragon egg, wouldn't it be even worse." Leif thought. That's the way it is, only? It's the way it is.

"Pfft..." Natia Vida stopped suddenly, "You reminded me. I almost forgot, last? I haven't claimed the inheritance of a place yet."

Leif turned to look at her.

Natia Vida faced the north, and the morning sun shone from the eastern sky, illuminating her right side of the body.The fair skin is almost transparent, the light flaxen hair is lifted by the breeze, and the holy white robe is spotless, looking gentle and pure, like an angel of heaven who has strayed into the world, even if he doesn't use tricks to confuse people's hearts The law will also make mortals willing to fall into its trap.

"Getting the inheritance is just by the way, mainly for laying eggs, I need to prepare, after all, this is not something that can be done casually..." As soon as the words came out, it broke Lai Fumei's heart. Good association, "The next time we meet, we will... Miss Knight, why are you running so fast?"

Casually? Casually? Can it be done?

Prepare, no matter how prepared, it is impossible?

Leif rode his horse and galloped, as if if he walked more slowly, he would be overtaken.Panting, Medra jumped onto Leif's shoulders, holding her ears to steady herself.

The author has something to say:

Geography:

The northernmost is the Lukefei Icefield, where the center of the temple is located, where priests and knights practice penance and assessment, and there are holy land elves

The Deya continent is in the middle, there are many large and small human kingdoms, and the density of monsters is small

To the southeast of the Deya Continent is the Tona Continent, with mountains, forests and grasslands, filled with miasma, and a large density of monsters

To the southwest is the Sikna Continent, which has harsh geographical conditions and is full of volcanoes. It is the birthplace of the Dark Dragon Clan.
