This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"It's him."

Timothy nodded. "Master Dado is also the cavalry commander of Iron Gray City. He is qualified to command all the knights of the Iron Gray City Knight Order."

"Command all the knights?"

Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

"Does this also include knights from other orders?"

"Master Dado is a Knight Master awarded by the Oath Knights of the Round Table!"

Suo Liuya took over and said solemnly:

"The Round Table was established in accordance with the Knight's Oath. Therefore, all sworn knights, in addition to their own beliefs and oaths, also share the same Chivalric Creed and will follow the leadership of the Round Table."

"In other words, the Oath Knights are as close as a family. They are all half-brothers, and they are as close as blood. There is no such thing as fighting among brothers or sisters!!"

"Is it?"

Ye Yiyi pinched her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes flickered.

It seems that the White Feather Knights are the same. Before choosing the king to be loyal to, they are the same, share the same creed, and are as close as brothers and sisters.

But after pledging allegiance to the king, this so-called creed will be given lower priority.

It is precisely because of this that after the kings split and the war began, Bai Yu regarded the White Feather Knights under the command of other hostile kings as traitors.

But the hostile White Feather Knights didn't care about it at all.

The king's will is above the creed!

In other words, the same is true within the Knight Kingdom.

Although everyone obeys the leadership of the Round Table, different knightly orders have different oaths and serve different people.

On the surface, they seem to be as close as a family, but when it comes to core issues, let alone plotting to frame each other, I'm afraid they would want to beat the other person's brains out.

Just like the Butterfly Knights who reclaimed the Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals, but their camp was brutally massacred, leaving no one alive.

In the final analysis, they are merely the "guardians" chosen by the Dark Knights and the Feathered Knights to guard the "Skull of the Ancient Saint Worm".

"Ugh……"

After figuring this out, Ye Yiyi sighed slightly and asked.

"So, you don't want to believe me?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but what you said is truly sensational and ridiculous."

"What if I have evidence?"

"Evidence? What evidence?"

Suo Liuya was stunned.

Ye Yiyi took out the crystal skull and told the other party the information he had obtained from the item description.

"Is that so?"

After hearing the explanation, Soliuya looked at the crystal skull in her hand and frowned tightly.

"That's it."

Ye Yiyi nodded.

"But aren't these still just your speculations?"

Soliuya raised her head and said seriously.

"what?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned.

"The crystal treasure chest you mentioned already existed when we were reclaiming the ruins."

"That is to say, it is not, as you suspected, something that Master Dado entrusted to Butterfly Knight to be brought here for safekeeping and collection, but rather an ancient relic that originally existed in the ancient ruins."

"Furthermore, the Demon Devourer is an ancient monster born from the Ten Thousand Stone Crystal Forest. When I was young, I heard about it attacking the reclamation team of Tiehui City, but it later disappeared without a trace."

"But at that time, Master Dado and the Dark Knights hadn't yet stationed in Iron Gray City. How could they have possibly controlled the Demon Devourer?"

Suo Liuya handed over the crystal skull and said with her eyes downcast and a depressed mood.

"Moreover, Master Daduo treated me like my biological father. Before my father died, he told me that if I didn't know where to go in the future, I could seek refuge with him. Master Daduo is the only person I can trust."

"So, sir, without solid evidence, I cannot agree with your reasoning."

Soliuya suppressed her weak emotions, her expression became solemn and her eyes stern, revealing an expression that said, "A knight's oath does not allow slander from others, not even from their savior."

"..."

Ye Yiyi held the crystal skull in her hand and remained silent for a moment, then she realized that this female knight had never seen the true evil of human nature.

He is still a naive, extremely stubborn guy who won't turn back until he hits a wall.

If I don't let the other party witness the Dark Knight's conspiracy with their own eyes, no!

Even when Master Daduo personally put the knife to her neck and wanted to behead her, she might not be able to recognize his sinister intentions.

So he sighed slightly in his heart, put the skull back, and suddenly decided not to say anything.

He had no interest in guiding a stubborn female knight to witness the truth.

Even if I were Michaela, it wouldn't work.

Besides, this Michaela of his is just a pirated copy. He doesn't have the ability to charm people into submission and follow him till death with just a flick of his tiger body.

"In that case, I've said too much."

Ye Yiyi said calmly that he decided to let go of the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others.

After all, what does it matter to him whether the female knight is dead or alive?

He is not a bootlicker, and he would not do such a thing as being unable to walk when seeing a woman, and would not rack his brains to put his warm face in the cold butt.

If this were still a game, then I would do the female knight's side quests if I could, at least I would get the rewards. If I was really unhappy, I could just wait until the second round to settle the score.

But in reality, what kind of reward can make an unknown hero run around for you?

Can he kill the kings or the gods in seconds?

neither?

Goodbye then, I won’t see you off!

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi simply spoke frankly.

"I'm going to continue exploring deeper into the forest. Now that we've finished what we're doing here, let's say goodbye here."

He rode on Virgil who was waiting on the side, and saw the female knight cross her arms again and gave him a knight's salute with great seriousness.

"Sir Michaela, Soliuya is not an ungrateful person. If you have any instructions, please come to the Butterfly Knights' station in Iron Gray City to find me. I am willing to go through fire and water and will not hesitate to help you!"

His tone was sincere, his attitude was honest, and his expression showed that he was willing to die.

But unfortunately, my brain is not working very well.

Ye Yiyi did not refuse, but just nodded.

"If I need anything, I'll come to you."

If you were still alive then...

Then he turned to look at Timothy, who had been silent since the beginning.

"how about you?"

Timothy didn't say anything, but just turned his head and looked at Soliuya.

The female knight understood, nodded slightly, and walked aside, leaving this place to the two of them.

"If possible, I would like to go back to Iron Gray City."

Timothy leaned over, looking slightly embarrassed, and whispered:

"I just remembered that I have an important tribe token left at my residence in Iron Gray City. I have to go back and get it back."

"From what you say, after getting your things back, you're not planning on staying in the Knight Kingdom anymore?"

Ye Yiyi smiled, "Why, didn't Suo Liuya's rebuttal convince you?"

Timothy shook his head upon hearing this, glanced sideways at Soliuya, and replied in a low voice:

"It has nothing to do with saying you're not convinced."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Ye Yiyi was a little curious.

"Your Excellency the Knight... is a bit naive, and a bit too weak, of course, compared to you, Your Excellency."

"You mean, whoever is stronger is right?"

"This is the truth from ancient times to the present!"

Timothy said seriously, "Also, although I don't understand magic, I know that magicians are all extremely intelligent people!"

"Otherwise, the Rodno Empire wouldn't be what it is today, and there wouldn't be so many people trying their best to get into magic academies, only to be rejected due to insufficient intelligence..."

"That's why I prefer to trust your wisdom over your strength!"

"Haha~"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help laughing.

"Timos, Timothy, the magician who tested your intelligence was truly blind. Judging from your level, you should at least have no problem learning the Magic Giant Arrow."

The Highlander patted the back of his head and couldn't help but smile foolishly.

"Then, Your Excellency, do you think I can learn it?"

"Let's talk about it after you finish what you're doing... Well, wait a moment..."

Ye Yiyi turned over and got off the horse, looked around, found a piece of semi-crystallized wood, and took out the Moonlight Spear and pointed it.

Soon, a simple crystal ring was born in Ye Yiyi's hands.

【Tree Crystal Wood Ring】

Skill consumption: 40.

Attribute correction: Intelligence B.

Durability: 15/15.

Item Description: A crystal magic ring made by the "God-killing Magician" Michaela.

Able to change appearance, including race, and present a false face.

But it is impossible to disguise the face and behavior of the opposite sex.

In order to cover up the action, a magic ring was specially made for a Highland mercenary.

Whoever believes in me will have rivers of living water flow from his belly.

Whoever does not believe in me will be punished for his evil deeds.

"?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi threw the ring to Timothy with a strange expression.

"Take it."

"This is?"

Timothy looked at the ring curiously, and his orange eyes suddenly lit up.

"Could it be that this is a magic item?"

"Good vision. This can change your appearance and race, but not your gender. It can be used 15 times."

Ye Yiyi rode back on his horse and raised his chin towards the other party.

"You know what I mean?"

"clear!!"

Timothy suppressed his ecstasy, carefully put the ring away, and then turned his head to look.
