Isle of Wight

"...Olivier Ligudor, the head of the Holy Knight Order, acted recklessly during the mission, causing heavy casualties to the hostages. After deliberation by the court, he was dismissed. The new head of the Holy Knight Order will be judged by..." The knight commander's emotionless voice came to your ears from the stage, but until he finished reading, you didn't hear the court's punishment for you.

What a surprising morning.According to Olivier, the official trial should be after the Holy Prosecution Day. Unexpectedly, on the day after he finished speaking, the people in the court of justice had completed all the work; it was you who should have been punished, but You didn’t see your name on the penalty list until the sentencing meeting was dismissed, and you could even see Kang Duo curling his lips with regret—but that’s the truth, Olivier took your place and was removed from his post, Reduced to an ordinary knight, and you yourself are safe and sound.

This shows that someone has concealed the real situation of the mission, and there is no doubt that that person can only be Olivier.why?You can't figure it out.

"Olivier." You called the black-haired knight who was turning around to leave. He has now taken off the clothes of the head of the Knights of the Holy Seminary, and the corresponding sword has also been turned in. He is only wearing a white-washed sackcloth The collarbone and pectoral muscles are faintly exposed at the neckline, making him look capable and strong.

"Good day, my lord." He bowed his head to you.

"..."

You originally wanted to ask him why he took all the faults on you, but seeing his respectful expression, you suddenly lost the desire to know the truth.

"I don't thank you for that," you say.

"I don't ask for anything in return, my lord." Olivier raised his head and looked at you with his black eyes, and a figure in white clothes with an expressionless face was reflected in his pupils.You didn't know how to respond to him, so you had to stand there until everyone in the conference hall dispersed, you still stood here looking at him, and Olivier did the same, with his head lowered, his waist slightly bent, and his right hand resting on his shoulders. on the left chest, standing across from you.

You feel at a loss, want to move your body away, but feel too abrupt, finally—someone pushed open the wooden door of the conference hall, thank the guardian, no matter who came, he rescued you from this predicament, you finally There was reason to look away from the knight's top of black hair, and even to turn away from facing him.

"Olivier? What are you still doing here... Oh, sorry, Lord Gabriel." It was Ferran, the leader of the Knights of the Dawn.Although you don't have much contact with the Knights, you remember him.He has long blond hair, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes. He is funny, straightforward and elegant, and his swordsmanship is superb. When you wander around the town, you can often hear girls whispering about him, and boys also talk about him. Treat him like an idol.

You don't know how the personal relationships of the knights' leaders are, but it's obvious that Ferran came to find Olivier.You nodded to Faerun, and then left the meeting hall straight away.

What will happen to Olivier who has lost his status as knight commander?You have no way of knowing.But you understand that it hurts to fall from a height, not to mention that he is the former head of the Knights of the Holy See who is in charge of "supervising", so there is no guarantee that someone will wait for the opportunity to retaliate against him.

As for whether someone retaliated against him, it may have something to do with you. After all, he lost his position because he took your sin. Although you didn't ask him to do so, the silver-haired boy crying under the statue didn't allow it either. You just turn around and leave.

Bypassing the ceramic vase at the end of the corridor, you turn into Condo's room.You didn't knock and the door wasn't locked.The archbishop is drinking tea when you open the door.

"Gabriel, you're here." He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I happened to need you."

You go to the chair and sit down, the flower arrangements in the vase are still dripping with water, their fresh smell seems so out of place here.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the exclusive knight?" The archbishop said with a half-smile, "Every high priest has his own knight, only you... have never brought up this matter. Now I plan to let Olivier follow you."

Kang Duo poured himself some more tea, leisurely paced to the vase, and fiddled with the lilies on it.

"Olivier Ligodor, the former head of the Holy Order of the Holy See, worked hard and fulfilled his duties during his tenure, but lost his position because he took the blame for you. Is such a person qualified to be your exclusive knight, Your Excellency the High Priest? "

You didn't answer.Condo—your former colleague from the same teacher as you—has always liked to talk to himself, and his words don’t require a full response.

He came across from you, raised the corners of his mouth and said: "You see, the holy knights have to supervise every mission, and it is their duty to report the mission truthfully. In the name of the guardian, they must not lie. But our Rigodo Your Excellency—he would rather expire our Lord... just to keep you from being punished, does it mean that he has some unrealistic ideas about you?"

He raised his hand to touch your face and lips, leaned close to your ear and said in a very low voice: "...just like our mentor? It's a pity, he doesn't know if you are the one who is punished, then the one who is punished is you. The level is not as serious as dismissal, don't you think?"

The feeling of warm breath against your ear is sickening.You think of the witch with no hair, and her mad kiss that smelled of blood; you think of your mentor, and his hand in your robes... You clutch the clothes on your knees— Condo always knew how to piss you off.Just when you couldn't help chanting the spell in your mouth, he suddenly stopped, then got up and went to the desk to take a piece of paper and hand it to you.

"I will pass on the matter of the exclusive knight. In addition, tomorrow is the holy inspection day. This is the person who needs to be treated this time. You can figure it out."

He showed his usual smiling face again and said, "You know, it's just the same as before."

Yes, same as ever.You sneered and took the note.They offer their own money, you cure their diseases, and five years of happy time, when the time is up, the scythe of death will be drawn on their necks.The surnames of these three nobles often appeared on the list of the Inquisition, and one of them even came out of the dungeon only last month-the Leviathan would like their taste very much.

"Is there any news from the ice field?"

"Of course." Kang Duo snapped his fingers, "Although the Knights of the Oracle have tried their best to stop the group of heretics, they still failed to kill her before they found the 'prophet'... Now the only thing blocking them is There are three seals left, and then they will enter the central region. Maybe we should increase our manpower and kill them when they enter the central region."

"Two seals," you say, "the first seal has been broken."

Kang Duo frowned: "What? When did it happen? No, damn it, shouldn't the first seal be 'Tears of Leviathan'? The only Leviathan is now staying under the Judgment Pool, How do they..."

"Blood of the Chosen One." You interrupted, "Illya."

"...It's that witch! Didn't you kill her?!"

"All I killed was her penis, she's still alive."

"Bang!" Kang Duo slammed a vase onto the ground, the water splashed on your robe, and the flowers were scattered by the fragments of the vase.Very well, the archbishop finally doesn't want to maintain his mask with a disgusting smile, you playfully watched him take a few deep breaths, then grabbed your collar, gritted your teeth and said, "Listen, Gabriel— —”

"I hope you are ready for the decisive battle."

****

You're back in the empty sanctuary.

This sanctuary looks like only stone pillars and statues, but in fact there are a lot of things hidden here.This place belongs to the high priests of the past generations, storing all the things they found, collected, and made. At the same time, the knowledge and power they need to master as high priests are all in this temple, and this is also the place where the high priests receive inheritance. .

You go to the third stone pillar on the east side, press a rune on it with your finger and whisper a spell, and then the pillar starts to rotate counterclockwise. When the rune you pressed turns in front of you for the third time, A long sword appeared on the stone pillar.

The hilt of the long sword is carved with a hovering long-tailed bird. Its outstretched wings become the sword lattice of the long sword. The gray gemstone spit out from its mouth is inlaid in the center of the sword lattice. It was dark, dull, and had no reflections of light, as if it sucked in all the light around it.

You take the sword off the stone pillar and touch its edge. It doesn't look sharp, but it cuts your finger, and the blood flows down its spine and disappears.

"Lord Gabriel."

It was the dark-haired knight.Judging from the sound, he is still standing at the door of the church—after all, no one can walk in without your permission.You didn't turn around to look at him, but silently raised the long sword in your hand to block half of the god's face.

"Olivier, come here."

"Yes, my lord."

He came and knelt down behind you.

An obedient knight, you think, but can't remember when you first saw him.In fact, if it wasn't for the last mission, you wouldn't even know his name, and there wouldn't be any intersection between you...at least you think so.

You turned around slowly and looked at the top of his hair.He's still on one knee, and you have no intention of getting him up just yet.Since he came here, Kang Duo must have talked to him.According to previous regulations, he offers you his loyalty, and you have to give him a sword.

"Have you heard the legend of Sutia, the mother of the ice field?" You said while playing with the sword in your hand.

Icefield Sutia is a sub-god created by the guardian. She was exiled to the south because of her evil deeds. Later, she brought her creation back to the central region and massacred other sub-gods and their creations. To suppress her, the guardian turned into a water demon and handed a sword to a young man named Joe by the lake. Joe used the sword to kill Sutia in the ice field and sealed it in the quiet snow mountain in the south.This is a well-known story.

"Yes."

"Fine." You say, "Head up."

He raised his head as he said, and his black eyes first met yours, and then fell on the sword in your hand.

You raised the long sword, caught the white light escaping from the blade with your eyes, and said slowly, "Joe is the first high priest."

"This sword that drank the blood of God, I give it to you now." You put the sword on Olivier's right shoulder, "Swear to me, knight... loyalty, honor, blood and tears— —Would you give your all for me?"

The black-haired knight was silent, his black eyes were as dark as the clouds of a storm, but as silent as stagnant water.You stare into his eyes, as if there is a giant eagle hovering over there, glancing at the rivers and mountains below you from time to time, but never stops.Without him opening his mouth, you also know his answer. What he is doing now is just asking his heart for the last time: Will he regret it?

After a long time, Olivier finally moved his Adam's apple, and the giant eagle in his eyes finally stopped on the cliff he wanted.You pressed his lips lightly before he could speak.You don't need promises any more than you like listening to Condo's ostentatious words.You squat down and hand over the hilt of your sword to Olivier.This action makes you have to get close to the knight in front of you, and the fingers that are still pressed on his lips touch the hot breath he exhaled-they pass over your fingertips carefully, like a little elf in the forest who is afraid of waking the traveler.

"Do what you have to do, and that's enough."

You withdrew your index finger, and you didn't realize how cold it was until it touched your palm.You heard the knight take a deep breath and say, "Yes, my lord."

****

How do human emotions arise?It is said that when human beings were created, they had no emotions like Him, and were driven only by instinct, eating, resting, and multiplying... just like all other creatures.Until one day, the guardian was tired of seeing the same world day after day, so he created the "soul" and endowed it to all things, so the world became as wonderful as it is now.

"Do gods have emotions and souls, too, teacher?" The orange-haired girl closed the book in her hand and asked you.

"Of course, Illya," you say, "when the Patronus created the soul, he gave it to all living beings, including other gods."

The girl held her chin, thought for a while, and then asked: "Are gods also considered 'living beings'?...By the way, teacher, back then the Guardian only created 'souls', so where did 'emotions' come from?" ?”

You glance at your students, kids this age always have endless questions.Maybe it's because you only have this one student, so she didn't choose to bury her head in the book to find the answer like you used to, but threw this series of questions to you.

"'He cast this white light on man, and that man was ashamed, and covered his body with leaves, and pleased his wife with flowers; and he cast this white light on cattle and sheep, and they tasted sorrow, and shed tears under the blade.' ’” You say, “‘He casts his soul upon the living, and the emotion arises.’”

"Of course the gods are also living beings. Just like the mother of the ice field, they will be angry, jealous...and of course they will die." You think of the mural of Joe assassinating Sutia of the ice field. The black long sword pierces the heart of the mother of the ice field. The inlaid rubies were like blood, and blue-purple blood flowed from her body, and her curled fingers pressed on Joe's forehead, casting a curse.

...everything that bleeds dies.

You regain your sense of fugue and turn your gaze back to your student.

"Okay, Illya, the next part-duties and missions."

☆、Chapter 4

"To be honest, Ollie, I don't understand why you agreed to be an exclusive knight. Although this is not a low position, but you know, once you become an exclusive knight, you can no longer hold other positions It's gone." The blond knight took a sip of beer, "You have to die in this position."

"I know." The black-haired knight said, you can't see his expression from the current angle, and the surroundings are too noisy, it's hard for you to even hear what they're chatting.

"Isn't it the destiny of us knights to give everything to those who follow us?" he said. "Besides, you know, I will never regret it."

"The high priest's exclusive knight, the position is second only to the head of the paladin, and it is only a little bit lower - there is no knight order of its own - the others are the same as us, Faerun." Another knight said, without changing his face. He hugged the blond knight's waist tightly, and moved his body as if to make it easier for him to lean on him.

"Forget it, this is your choice, and I have no right to interfere." After Fei Lun finished speaking, he raised his head and kissed the judgment knight beside him.

Through the brim of the cloak, you can see that the Judge Knight Commander is looking at you.According to Condor, his observation skills are very keen, maybe he has spotted you - you should go.But no matter what, you dare to swear to the guardian, you didn't eavesdrop on their chat on purpose... After all, who would have thought that after the holy inspection ceremony, the disguised high priest and the three knight commanders who took off their uniforms ( It should be two) will be in the most unassuming tavern in town at the same time?

"Just follow your lord." You heard Ferren say, "Although I know it's hard to get a result, I still wish you good luck. By the way, I don't like the new Holy Knight Commander very much—— Your former lieutenant wasn't as smart as you were, Ollie."

"..."

What did Olivier say again, you didn't hear clearly.It doesn't matter, you think, you will always know what you should know, and what is not your business will not be your business after all.You didn't come to this tavern to pass the time. According to the guidance of the patron saint, you have to heal three unfortunate but kind people (the three nobles can't afford this name), one of them It is the owner of this tavern.Now that the mission is done, it's time for you to leave.

The sun is just right today, not too glaring, not depressingly dark like a cloudy day, which brightens your mood.The bell in the bell tower strikes three times, and you sit down on the bench that the Patronus said, waiting for the next person to be pardoned.

The colony of ants on the ground walked down the steps in a line, and a person in a gray-blue linen dress was stepping up from there.She moved up the steps very smoothly, but before you could react, she tapped your foot with the long wooden stick in her hand.

"Ah...sorry," she said, "I didn't know anyone was here."

oh.You think, you know that voice, it is like lilac with dew, tender and pitiful—it belongs to Anna, a girl who is blind.You knew her, you talked by the well in the square.She'll bring you some dried cranberries every Wednesday afternoon, and she'll bake some bread for the church kids in town.She has a very good memory, and basically she doesn't need to use sticks to guide the way in the places she has been. From a distance, she looks no different from the pedestrians coming and going in the town.

You tapped on the bench lightly, but didn't speak.For some reason, you don't want to be recognized at this time.

"Thank you." Anna said softly.Maybe she regards you as a traveler who can't speak. After all, this is the shore of Lamande Lake, and many travelers pass by here every day.A girl in a gray-blue dress sits next to you, and you can smell the orchid fragrance on her body.

What does it feel like to suddenly regain sight for someone who was born blind?Can they recognize what they see as "seen"?Is the white dove in their eyes a "bird" or a mass of unknown objects?You slowly raised your hand, and pressed it on the girl's forehead from the air, the soft white light in your palm slowly seeped in... She stared forward with empty eyes, maybe when she regained her senses, she would be completely displeased with this... Surprised—or terrified—of the same world—who knows?The Patronus will take care of this, you think.

****

"...Master Gabriel?"

As you pass through a civilian residential area, a voice stops you.You clenched your robes secretly—who else would address you in this tone, except your newly recruited knight?

In fact, you still don't understand why you agreed to let him follow you.He has unexplained enthusiasm and affection for you, which makes you feel powerless and at a loss.

"Why are you here?"

He looks surprised.Can't you be here?You asked Ilya to set up a blessing circle in the civilian area, and now you come here to check her homework, but this knight, who was drinking with the two knight commanders just now, why did he come here again?

"Jie said he seemed to see you just now, so I came out to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here." Oliver said with a smile, "You look completely different now from the you in the morning."

"It's just a change of clothes." You said.I don't know whether it's because Olivier drank some wine or because he's not in the temple now, but you find that the smile on his face hasn't disappeared since he was in the tavern just now.

After the holy inspection ceremony, most people in the temple can get a short rest, just like those knight commanders, they can do some things that are usually prohibited during these times, such as drinking.

It's a pity that these people don't include you.You have to check Illya's magic circle, supervise Illya's homework, strengthen the spells you cast on the four knight commanders, feed Leviathan, concoct some blessing potions, and the heretics of the ice field Related things... a long list of things waiting for you to do.

All of this makes you very tired, especially strengthening those four special spells... For ordinary spellcasters, it is simply impossible to complete this task in one day.But you, you are different, you are the High Priest who protects the Lord, as you said, He will not let you die until you complete your mission.So no matter how many times your mental power is exhausted, you will wake up from a deep coma with a splitting headache.Even, you remember, you once tried to escape this fate by jumping on the edge of an unknown cliff, and then returned to the temple intact with blood-stained clothes and tattered clothes.

People are right, no harm without contrast.Maybe you should rest, you think.Olivier's smiling face made the exhaustion that was deeply buried by you surge up like a tide.You've done enough today, your legs are shaking under your robe, and your mind is as heavy as soaked cotton.Why do you have to do all this?Why does it have to be you?Why can't you say no?You fell into so much self-pity that you almost forgot to dodge when Olivier suddenly hugged you.His movements are very light, and you can get out of this embrace with a little sideways, but you didn't do it because you found that you don't object to this embrace that leaves room.

For those of you who abhor human contact, hugging is your limit.You defend yourself: If this happened at another time, you would have punished the knight who violated the rules severely with magic.But at this moment, perhaps because your remaining mental power does not allow you to use additional spells, so you choose to submit.

Olivier was an excessive bastard, even more of a bastard than Condo.This knight knows how to get close to your bottom line without breaking you, just like the big golden dog that often wanders by the river, knowing that you hate its dirty, but deliberately showing its clean belly to lure you to pet it .

Hugs are always warm no matter what - even though it makes you sick - it's been too long since someone has given you a hug.You stood there, letting the black-haired knight put his hands on your back and waist, and put his side face and broken hair against your ears through a thin linen hood.The smell of wine and the faint smell of soap on his body remind you of the sunlight shining on the pages of a book. His loose collar reveals his strong back, and you can see old or new scars on it with a light glance. And the curse seal you drew.

Yes, curse seal.what are you doingThe curse seals on the four knight leaders have not been completed yet, except for the oracle knight commander who has gone out to the ice field, the remaining trial knight commanders, Dawn knight commanders, and Olivier who has become an exclusive knight, the curse seals on them There is still one procedure left.There is an urgent need on the other side of the ice field, and you are wasting time with this knight in the alley.

"...silver hair... my lord..." Olivier muttered a few words in your ear, but why listen carefully to what you say when you are drunk?You slowly raised your hand and pressed on the position of the curse mark.You are already familiar with spells, after all, they are also a key part of your long-cherished plans.Taking advantage of Olivier's drunkenness, you waited for the opportunity to recite the spell that could have been silently recited.At the same time the knight grabs a lock of your silver hair and puts it under his lips to kiss.

There's a pause in your chanting—although you realize that this lock of hair was only once on your head, you're still embarrassed.Especially when you saw Oliver's expression without a trace of obscenity, your face was even a little hot.

All right.Anyway, this is the last mental power.Olivier's wine looks good, you think, and hopefully what's next will clear him up a bit.You recited the rest of the incantation, and immediately after, warm blood flowed from the nasal cavity and stained the face of the knight who was close to you.

"...Oh! My God! Gabi, what happened?!" Panic and horror, as you'd expect, engulfed his goddamn expression.You fainted in front of him again, closed your eyes, and you seemed to see the flustered Holy Knight Commander in the witch's tower again... He will take me back to the temple, you thought, and then sank In the familiar darkness.

****

"Teacher! You are awake!"

You sit up and recognize this is your room.

"...Illya, what's the date today?"

You took the water the student handed you and drank it, feeling better.Illya tells you that you have been in a coma for two days.When Olivier brought you back in a coma two days ago, your pulse had already stopped. Both of them were frightened, but His Excellency the Archbishop told them not to worry.

"You will get used to it." Someone opened the door and came in. Don't think about it, it must be Kang Duo.

"It's not once or twice that he has made himself like this. He is a habitual offender." The archbishop still had a consistent smile on his face, "He won't die for a while. If you have nothing to do—little guy, please go out. "

"Yes, my lord."

"What's the matter?" you said, starting to eat the broth Illya gave you.

"I understand, Gabi." Kang Duo sat down beside your bed, smiling a little darkly: "You don't intend to stop those heretics at all, do you? Denton sent a message that they are already looking for the first The second seal was released, but you slept comfortably on the bed for two days."

"Hmph." You uttered a syllable with a half-smile, with food in your belly, and the strength to deal with Kang Duo again.

"Something went wrong with the plan. I need the help of the lord who lives in your chamber."

Condo narrowed his eyes—a small gesture that made him look more like a fox—"Let me guess, because of Olivier?"

"Hmm." You don't deny it, because Olivier seems to have some special feelings for you, which makes you have to find one more Templar to make up for the vacancy in planning Riolivier.And the newly appointed Holy See Commander did not meet the requirements, so he had to borrow "the one" that Kang Duo locked in the secret room.

"Don't worry, I will return him to you completely." Thinking of Kang Duo's relationship with that lord, you suddenly laughed, "As for Olivier...he has other uses."

"Your short-lived smile is still so creepy, Gabi." Kang Duo said, "I can't decide for him about Oreste, you can ask him yourself. I changed the protection spell at the entrance that day, you Let's see."

"understood."

****

You knock on the door politely, even though you know the people inside won't mind if you go right in.The existence of Kang Duo locked up with a magic circle and special iron chains is a secret, only the three of you know.

"Please come in~"

When you push the door open, an indescribable smell blows your face along with the air that is warmer than the outside.

"It really is you." The man inside threw the book in his hand aside, crossed his legs, and the iron chains on his limbs made sounds due to his movements.Because of the lack of light, the place is full of candles.By candlelight, you can see some scattered books and leftover food on the narrow wooden table.The man's bare upper body was criss-crossed with tattoos and scars.The black hair on his head was too long due to lack of trimming, and fell down to his shoulders.Unlike other prisoners, even though he was trapped in a small secret room all year round, he remained calm.

He said with a smile: "That guy would not knock on the door so politely.—So, what's the matter? Huh?"

"Yes, Monsieur Oreste," you said, "you know what a High Priest has to do. I have come here to ask you for help on my part."

"Don't use honorifics. Even if I live longer than you, you are still the high priest with a higher rank than me." Orest brushed his messy long hair and made a less serious knightly salute: "For It is the duty and honor of the Templars to give everything to the Temple. If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to speak up.”

The author has something to say: Because I pasted it directly from the document... so the format may be a bit messy, please don't mind...

☆、Chapter 5

Finally, the last bird song also stopped.

You looked away from the window and sorted out the letters from Illya on the table.She wrote to tell you: that thing has been delivered.There are also a few scattered pieces of paper behind the letter paper, with patterns such as blessing circles drawn on them.You have read them one by one, and you can hardly find any faults except that the strokes are not proficient.One year and four months have passed since the day you accepted this student. In this short period of time, Illya has become proficient in using some relatively advanced magic arts. It is hard to imagine that she was still an opponent of God before this Children who know nothing about art.She must be the Patron's favorite, a talent that makes almost everyone jealous.

She needs more practice, so when the judge took the knights to Biluo Bingya for support a month ago, you asked her to be an accompanying priest.

You dipped your pen and were about to reply to her letter, but someone knocked on your door.

"Please come in."

The wooden door carved with wheat fields was pushed open, and the sound scared away the sparrows that had landed on the window sill.You glanced at your visitor, silently inserted the pen back into the holder, and pressed a decoration against the letter, resting your hand on it.

The person who came in was Kang Duo—he came to you because he had something to order. You straightened your clothes and sat upright, waiting for him to speak.

"I've been very busy during this time, so I didn't have time to tell you about this until today: Leviathan is dead." The archbishop sat on your desk, with the same smile on his face. "But a group of death row inmates should not simply beheaded."

Oh, you probably know what he's trying to say.

"It can be replaced by an abyss monster." You said lightly, "The one in the 'Back Garden' can only be used."

"I'm not done yet, dear Gabby."

You shut up and wait for him to go on—

"I found that their hearts were missing." He folded his arms, "You know, this is not as simple as the death of a certain noble's pet. This is the material needed for the second seal,' Leviathan Tears'—their hearts, really. But who has the talent to kill a fiend without sound?"

Isn't it easy to kill a purgatory creature?You lower your eyes and think about the spell in your notes, how light and catchy they are written in a foreign language.

Kang Duo swallowed, and continued: "Oh, of course, it may also be the secret method of the ice field. I found traces of pagan magic under the Judgment Pool—perhaps the 'crime scene' is more appropriate."

"Do you have any insights, Gabi?" The archbishop suddenly slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still remember your identity?! High Priest Gabriel?! When you practiced magic and pagan magic in private, I Didn't get to the bottom of it; but now you took out Leviathan's heart, are you planning to offer it to the group of ice people? Do you still want to kneel under Sutia's skirt and kiss her toes?"

He took a deep breath, and was about to continue speaking, when you suddenly opened your mouth when he uttered the first syllable: "I never intend to prevent them from resurrecting the old gods."

Kang Duo froze, forgetting that he had opened his mouth for a moment, you thought he might slap you, but he asked you calmly after a moment: "Why?"

Why?This is probably the funniest question you'll ever hear, even more so than the "did God make the sun" asked by the kids in town.Isn't that obvious enough?The sun was born in the universe, and you don't want to be imprisoned by a mission.You don't want to be a second Oreste, stuck in the torrent of time like him, sitting alone on a boulder in the middle of a raging river watching others leave.

You took back your hands that were on the table and folded them on your knees, and when you were thinking about how to deal with Kang Duo, you found that you had expressed your inner thoughts at some point.You sighed, and said, "After the Ice Mother is resurrected, there is a period of weakness, and I will kill her then."

Kang Duo lowered his face and said in a cold voice: "You better understand what you are doing. You have read the history, and you know what the Mother of the Ice Fields has done on this continent. Thousands of people died, and the sea water froze , The ground is frozen... If you fail, it will be the end of everyone."

"I know." You stood up, just as the night completely swallowed the sun's
