Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 86: High in the Sky
The first thing the other side does after waking up is to eat.

It was the first time in Ethan's life that he had seen someone who ate so much. His appetite was even more amazing than Miss Chloe's. However, her subordinates had long been accustomed to it. As soon as they learned that the Knight Commander had woken up, they rushed into the taverns and restaurants in the town, and the meals delivered to the apartment piled up into a small mountain.

The knights changed their low morale and regained their spirits, as if they had completely forgotten the defeat in Riverside Town.

Ivy volunteered to act as a lobbyist.

The lobbying lasted until the evening. The two talked about a lot, from recent events in the town to the future of the empire. Finally, seeing that the time was right, she extended an invitation to the other side.

The fake death plan means that Bi'an can neither return to the imperial capital nor follow his subordinates back to the Temple of Netheril. He is destined to live a life in hiding. Since he has nowhere to go, he might as well stay in Ximu Town so that they can take care of each other.

In the evening, the two knocked on the door of Ethan's study. At this time, Ethan had spent a whole day doing meditation training to improve the success rate of the "operation".

"Sister Bi'an said she has a request."

After entering the room, Ivy spoke directly. She hesitated and then pushed Bi'an in front of her, "You should speak for yourself."

"Ethan, I heard a lot about you from Ivy, including your business in Hearth Bay."

Bi'an had a serious face. As the knight commander of the empire, she was very imposing when she occasionally showed such an expression, so much so that Ethan couldn't help but become nervous. Some time ago, he had been dreaming that he was invited to have tea by the men in black for smuggling dangerous goods and tax evasion.

However, the solemn and dignified atmosphere did not last long. As Bi'an spoke again, all the atmosphere was destroyed. "To be honest, I want to ride the big ice bird you made."

This is every knight's dream. She fully understood the risks of the operation and said, "This way, I can die with a smile on my face."

Ethan felt that Bi'an was a complete pessimist. As the saying goes, patients should be more optimistic, which would help their condition.

"I can meet your request, but that will have to wait until the right time. Let's talk about the details of the operation first."

"Then you better hurry up."

In front of the two, Bi'an raised her right hand and tried to gather energy in her palm. The white light shattered before it could fully take shape. Her face turned pale, but she still managed a smile and said optimistically, "I don't know how long I can last. After all, this is my first time breaking an oath."

Ivy was startled and asked quickly, "How come? When did it start?"

She chatted with Bi'an for a long time, but she didn't notice anything unusual about the other party.

"Little Ivy, faith is very idealistic."

When she accepted Ivy's proposal and a future in anonymity, she was no longer needed by the Templar or the Empire, and the great Lord Knight would not tolerate such self-degradation.

Bi'an patted Ivy's head as he did before and said, "But for me now, it's easier without my identity and power."

"Let's save the discouraging words for after the operation."

Ethan stood up, his right hand was bathed in golden light again. Now was the time to test the results of his one-day meditation training.

The key lies in the oath that the other side made to the empire.

He placed his hand on Bi'an's shoulder, and his sight twisted almost instantly. An invisible force that seemed to come from a higher dimension drew him into a place he had never been to. However, the moment Ethan arrived here, he knew that this was the royal city of the imperial capital.

It was not difficult to find this place. When she was talking to them just now, Bi'an's heart was being tortured by the oath again and again. She stood on the wall of the inner city, next to her was a tall figure in golden armor, who was looking down at the scenery under the wall - this was his country.

In fact, King Henry VI was the strongest knight in the empire. When he was young, he led his army to wipe out the dragon that was wreaking havoc on the border of the empire. He was awarded the title of Dragon Slayer by the Holy Church. His identity as a saint made people believe that the empire would usher in another golden age.

"the other side."

The master of the empire did not linger on her. He looked at the familiar streets and the familiar faces under the city walls. "Can I entrust this country to you?"

This happened when she was canonized as the Grand Master of the Imperial Knights.

Ethan could more or less understand the significance of these words to the other side. He could even feel the joy of having his value as a knight recognized.

A knight's duty is to protect, and everything that comes into view at this moment is what she has to protect.

But Ethan knew that the real problem did not come from the conversation between the two, but from the existence of something in the sky that witnessed this oath.

Ethan looked up at the sky and saw the endless blue. When the oath was made, it seemed as if a pair of invisible eyes were examining them. This was very similar to the feeling he had in the third level of the contaminated area, except that there were no distorted creatures with high levels of mental pollution around him.

"You broke your oath."

At this moment, the invisible being made the final judgment on the other side.

The other side seemed to have heard the voice as well, but she did not seem to intend to defend herself, or perhaps she knew that in the face of His existence, any defense would be pale and powerless.

Fighting to the last moment for what he is protecting, even if it has become filthy, this is the fate of a knight.

At this moment, Ethan saw it clearly.

It was a giant hand made of silver-white light that descended from the clouds and stretched straight to the other side above the city wall.

"From this moment on, you are expelled from the temple."

The body of the girl on the city wall was shaking constantly. Although she tried to maintain a smile, her brows were furrowed in pain. Then, something was torn out of her body and was also covered by a silver-white light. It seemed like the power of a knight and also like her soul.

Ethan gradually understood everything.

Or more accurately, he found the right place to use the knife.

The silver-white light was tinged with a hint of gold, and a cut stopped the palm from falling.

Ethan also had no intention of standing up to defend the other side and accusing the empire of its current corruption. He knew that in the face of those high-ranking beings, human arguments were as insignificant as the chirping of insects.

So in order to make them hear the voices from the human world, he had to take more direct measures.

The golden cut did not disappear, it kept spreading, across the sky.

Until, the sky was cut off by it.
