Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Are you feeling guilty?" Zhuang Ning shook his head. "That's unnecessary."

"You really just don't understand me. You all are like this... Rhodes Island has too many operators like this."

Bai Jin saw that the man's face became increasingly majestic, and his pupils showed a sense of oppression.

Even so, his tone was so gentle, as if he was communicating with someone close.

"Hintlea, do you know what I'm going to do?"

"……do not know."

"So, will you follow me?"

"I can."

Zhuang Ning smiled: "Even if it's a very bad thing?"

Xinteleya lowered her voice: "But I have been a killer since the beginning."

"Doctor," she swore like a knight, "I will obey you."

PS: It’s late again today, and I’m having a serious problem with Cardinal…

Update time adjustment

Apparently I've been updating more and more lately.

Originally, it could be updated between 11 and 12 o'clock, but recently it has been updated after 12 o'clock or even 1:30.

So considering the quality issue, I decided to adjust the update time and will update around 5 pm from now on.

This will leave me relatively ample time to revise the article.

Under normal circumstances, the number of words will not change and will be 8,000.

Let's start from this afternoon.

Chapter 10: Brilliant Knight, what are you afraid of?

"Grandmaster, the Wuzhou League was completely destroyed. The corpse of the Black Iron Master of the Wuzhou League was suspected to be nailed to death on a tall building."

In the quiet building, under the dim lights, the knight reported in a dry voice, "This was all done by the Demon King alone."

Grand Knight Ioletta Russell was not surprised. As she had said before, the Chamber of Commerce was seeking its own destruction.

He is the devil, how can he be defiled by mere assassins and killers?

But this is not a good thing, instead it means further destruction.

"Why would the Helmetless Alliance listen to them and wait for their death, Lime?"

"Master, they are just a group of assassins with no moral integrity. They must have some evidence..."

Margaret Lingguang seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two. She cast her gaze on the Wall of Champions and looked at her own portrait with her head held high.

The Wall of Champions is the most sacred building in the Great Knight Territory. It is open only one day each year and hung with the names of all the champions of the special championships.

That was the highest honor for a jousting knight, but she would not be happy about it.

The Grandmaster's words still linger in my ears.

You are Casimir's only savior.

She didn't like the tone of the sentence, how arrogant it was to put everything under one person.

"Margaret?"

When she came to her senses, she and the Grand Knight were the only ones left on the Wall of Champions.

Ioletta Russell said quietly, "You still don't want to see the devil?"

"He is not a demon king, but a doctor from Rhodes Island."

"It's all the same, Knight Yao. At this moment, he is the devil who can subvert our order at any time." Ioletta whispered in an unquestionable voice.

"Even if he is the Demon King, what can I do?"

"Go and beg him to spare Casimir once."

Lin Guang had to admit that he was scared. When did the knight's code allow people to beg for mercy?

This act of throwing one's dignity to the ground was simply a great shame. Lin Guang just didn't expect it to come from the Grandmaster's mouth.

It was like an unfunny joke, except that the one making the joke was the Grand Knight Commander, who was known for his seriousness.

"It's embarrassing, isn't it? If possible, I would rather bear it myself, but now I can only rely on you." Ioletta smiled, and the bitterness in her smile was almost impossible to hide.

"Why... why?" Lin Guang's eyes widened. "We are not finished yet, Grand Knight Commander!"

If it were the doctor from before, he might have said that as long as you keep moving forward, the road will extend under your feet, so don't stop.

But when he thought that the person who said these words had become his enemy, Lin Guang was speechless for a moment, and the words that came out of his mouth were swallowed back into his throat.

Ioletta did not press further, but asked, "I am curious, what exactly does the Doctor want to do?"

"do not know."

"He has killed many people," Ioletta whispered. "He can kill more."

"Lin Guang, you should know why he did this, but why don't you know?"

Unconsciously, the voice had more than just a hint of blame.

Even though Ioletta didn't mean that, Lin Guang still found it irritating.

"Should I... know why he became like this?" Lin Guang was erratic, "But I just can't figure out why the doctor's personality changed so drastically."

"So you are afraid. The invincible Brilliant Knight is actually afraid to face his enemy."

"I don't want to be his enemy."

"Then go and ask him to let the Grand Knight go!" The expression on Ioletta's face disappeared. "I'm too old. I don't want to care about dignity anymore. Lin Guang, in my eyes, there is no one more important than Casimir."

"We haven't lost yet!"

"Lost."

“Grandmaster!” Lin Guang shouted angrily, “Do you think it’s over?!”

Ioletta pretended not to hear and lowered her head: "Margaret, you don't understand. I have protected Casimir for decades. I don't want to see my country collapse..."

"So you're willing to sell a knight's soul?"

"Sure." Ioletta sneered. "Besides, what exactly is a knight?"

The eyes of this woman with good character, respected as the Grand Knight Commander, suddenly became cold, as if they had solidified into substance.

Under that gaze, Lin Guang felt an unprecedented pressure, which pressed tightly against her spinal cord and forced her to hunch over unconsciously.

"A knight... a knight should be..."

The one who illuminates the earth.

But she couldn't say such words, the doctor's face was still vivid in her mind.

"Ah..." The Grand Knight sighed, and his eyes softened in an instant, "You are still young, I shouldn't force you."

"But Lin Guang, you can't run away. Either you take up arms and fight, or you kneel down and surrender. Either one is fine. You shouldn't be confused."

The Radiant Knight heard the old man's sincere words, "Because you are the Radiant Knight, you are the one who should be able to illuminate the earth."

"Now, what are you afraid of?"

……

……

At noon, the sun, which had been so bright just now, suddenly disappeared, and a large area of ​​dark clouds covered the sky, obscuring the sun.

A cordon was set up.

In the abandoned building, the corpse's hands hung limply, and his chest was stained with blood.

A huge black iron arrow tore open his chest and nailed him to death like a punishment for his sin.

A drone captured this scene and uploaded it to the Internet. Outside the cordon, countless hungry media rushed forward frantically with their cameras in hand, as if they were wolves smelling blood.

The guards holding explosion-proof shields tried their best to block the reporters. They were sweating and couldn't help but curse their leaders a few more times.

Casimir's top brass actually left the body hanging in plain sight of everyone.

Fear will ferment. Who can remain indifferent when death comes?

These damn media happen to be the most alarmist and will use every means possible to spread conspiracy and fear.

"This is the result of studying journalism..." The sheriff, who was still doing his duty, thought tiredly.

He actually wanted to escape from Cavalleriac, but he continued to do so out of duty.

He was hiding in the shadows and had just lit a cigarette when he was immediately noticed by reporters, who swarmed over him and pointed countless black microphones at him.

"You are the person in charge of this area, right? Was that innocent citizen killed by the demon king?"

"The Demon King is already in Kavaleriaki, and all the knights of the Grand Knight's Command have been killed. Do you have any other solutions?"

“Why did Cavaleliaki choose to close the road now, Mr. Sheriff, can you answer?!”

The sheriff had a blank expression on his face and took off the cigarette in his hand.

He glanced at the reporters one by one, making sure they were all from Rose News, took a deep breath, and then... roared:

"No comment!"

After he said that, he pushed the crowd away with great vigor.

No one noticed an extremely mediocre figure walking out of the unfinished building.

He blended quietly into the crowd, looked at the man nailed to death in the building, and sighed.

The puddles on the ground reflected his face.

It was exactly the same as the dead man, with Xuan Tie's mediocre face.

"I'm glad you're alive, Lord Xuantie."
