Author: Return of Han and Tang

With the decline of the six ancient gods and the rise of humans, the continent is in constant conflict and power changes.

In the troubled times, an unknown knight rose to fame. After more than 20 years of fighting, he ended the troubled times. However...

He killed the cruel tyrant and protected the young imperial princess to ascend the throne, but was ultimately stripped of his power.

Save the elf princess and protect the elf land from...

Chapter 1: Prologue The Spurned Knight

The ever-changing world describes the rise and fall, as well as the ups and downs.

The gods who dominated the continent in ancient times appeared in the turbulent world with high vigor, but also declined and perished under the survival of the fittest in the changing times.

The decline of old things is always accompanied by the birth of a new era. After the arrogant gods gradually withdrew from the stage of history, the human race rose.

The species that rule this continent are constantly replaced, just like the metabolism of living things. Only the conflicts of blood and fire, like a thorn in the flesh, torment all the living beings on the continent forever.

The history of continental civilization is neither long nor short. Except for a few pages of peace, it records the sufferings and misery of the people.

Every inch of the continent of Arlen was enveloped in flames and drowned in blood. Under the control of the aristocratic royal family who were blinded by greed and had inflated desires, the continent's mountains and rivers were shattered.

The wells were filled with rotten corpses, the clear rivers turned into dirty streams of blood, and wherever the iron hoofs of war passed, only misery was left.

Those in power are blind to the suffering of all living beings. They just drink up the blood wine filled with people's suffering, revealing their greedy and ugly faces.

The entire continent was exhausted by the war, like an old man covered in wounds and dying, unable to move. Perhaps the next step would cause him to lose balance and fall in the snow, never to get up again.

It seemed that even the gods could not bear to watch it anymore. At this critical moment, the [Dawn Knight] emerged.

This mysterious knight is dressed in heavy knight armor that does not reveal an inch of skin, and he wields his magic sword to conquer all directions.

He led the oppressed slaves and the lower-class people to overthrow the corrupt empire, killed the tyrant who killed no human life, and supported the young queen to ascend the throne; helped the declining and weak gold elves and moon elves to defeat the invading enemies and defend the dream and eternal forest; overthrew the powerful and lawless ministers, and assisted the princess of Kyushu to ascend the throne; helped the Yingzhan fox clan who had been reduced to prisoners to escape from their slavery; and eliminated the disaster of heretics that had plagued the kingdom for hundreds of years.

After more than twenty years of traveling around and fighting, the knights finally saw the dawn of peace.

The people praised the nobleness of the knight, calling him the light of dawn that brought the dawn to this continent, and respected him as the 'Unbeatable Justice', the 'Knight of the Night', the 'Dark Arbitrator', and the 'Grand Knight of Dawn'.

However, just when this Knight Commander was famous throughout the continent and at the height of his popularity, he committed an extremely evil act that was beyond human control.

The fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Saint Lan Kingdom, the virtuous Duke of Yotan, and his family were killed in his own mansion. The scene was a river of blood and no one in the family survived.

All signs and evidence directly indicate that the murder weapon was the excalibur in the hands of the Knight Commander of Dawn.

Suddenly there was an uproar throughout the kingdom, and everyone knew that only the Knight Commander of the Dawn could wield that sword.

There were also many witnesses at the scene who saw the Knight Commander of Dawn walking into the Duke's mansion that day, and they almost confirmed that the Knight Commander of Dawn was the murderer of the Duke and Princess of the Kingdom's fiancé.

In the silent silence of the Knight Commander of the Dawn, the Saint Lan Royal Family finally decided to sentence the Knight Commander of the Dawn to death. However, considering his past merits, the sentence was commuted to depriving him of his title and citizenship of the kingdom, exiling him abroad, and never allowing him to enter the country again.

For a time, people all over the continent were in an uproar, and the former praises and accusations all turned into vicious curses, accusing him of coveting the princess's beauty, brutally murdering the Duke's family who were known for their virtue, and abandoning his original intention and the way of chivalry.

The people cursed and attacked the knight who had brought them liberation and new life. They treated him like a rat crossing the street and threw eggs and rotten fruits and vegetables at him.

"You beast, you deceived us all!"

'We don't need you anymore!'

'You are a demon, and you will be punished!'

Faced with the terrible curse, the knight left the country without saying a word under the supervision of the Royal Guards and disappeared from then on.

No one knows where he went after that.

No one understood why he would do such a thing that would plunge himself into the abyss at this moment when he was enjoying all the honors and was destined to be remembered for generations.

No one knew where the knight went after that. All we knew was that many years after he disappeared, the evil dragon king wreaked havoc on the continent.

When the continent was once again in danger, the no longer young knight mounted his lean warhorse, took out the dusty sword, and fought for justice one last time, for all the living beings who had spurned him.

Although the battle ended with the knight's victory and the evil dragon was sealed, it caused irreversible damage to his body.

One one one one one one one one

It is a gloomy thousand-year-old temple, with only moonlight shining through the gauze-like clouds.

Under the blood-red rose flag, on the fang throne, the girl was wearing a black and white woven Lolita dress. Her pure silver hair was tied behind her head with a jet-black bat ribbon and flowed to her heels like water. Her skin was whiter than moonlight and did not look like that of a human.

The girl's tender palms supported her soft cheeks. As she moved, her hair like fine silk fell diagonally on her shoulders. Her doll-like delicate features were full of boredom. Her burgundy and blood-red ruby ​​eyes looked at the armored man standing in front of her leisurely.

"Everyone, back off. You are no match for him." The silver-haired girl yawned, revealing her small and sharp fangs. She waved away the subordinates around her who had drawn their blades but were extremely afraid of the knight.

The subordinates looked at each other.

"What's wrong? Is it that my words are no longer effective, or are your ears covered with calluses?" The girl tilted her head.

Upon hearing this, the subordinates' faces changed and they left the hall one after another.

"You must be the famous 'Knight of Dawn' that is so legendary among mortals, right?" The silver-haired girl raised her slender beautiful feet wrapped in black stockings. The overly white thigh skin and the slightly translucent black stockings formed a sharp contrast under the moonlight, and intertwined with the black lotus leaf skirt to form an alluring absolute area.

The girl asked in a mature tone that was completely inconsistent with her childish and lovely appearance. Her eyes were full of laziness, and she ignored the knight in front of her and the sword in his hand.

The knight did not answer.

"But as I remember, there are no particularly major diplomatic incidents or unresolved territorial disputes between the vampires and the human race." The silver-haired girl tilted her head, and a hint of confusion appeared on her exquisite face that only existed in beautiful fairy tales.

As a god, she seemed to be in no hurry to punish this daring human who had trespassed into her territory.

"I have never launched a war to invade any human country. So, human knight leader, why are you here? Are you going to judge me, an 'innocent man'?"

"Why do you want to see me?" As one of the only gods left in the world, the silver-haired girl never hesitates to show the horror of the gods to those humans who are blind enough to mess with her.

The reason why she hadn't taken action yet was because this uninvited guest hadn't harmed any of the people in her territory.

All the people who blocked his way were knocked out by the hilt of his sword. In this way, he fought all the way from the human kingdom to the vampire kingdom.

It was obvious that he was looking for me, so he used this method to clear the way.

The other reason for not wanting to take action was a bit nonsensical, so nonsensical that even the silver-haired girl herself was a bit surprised.

She thought the knight in front of her was very interesting, at least more interesting than the idiots who surrounded her and fawned on her all day, even...

For some reason, he felt that this human knight was somewhat familiar, like a relative with whom he had some kind of connection.

Really........

The girl poked her head lightly.

I actually feel friendly towards humans. Is it because the guys around me are all annoying idiots?

Her question did not elicit a response from the knight. When she finished speaking, the knight actually bowed slightly, placed his sword on his shoulder blade, and saluted her.

Although the girl was unfamiliar with human etiquette, she could more or less tell that the knight was showing respect to her, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, a hint of sarcasm playing on the corners of her mouth.

"Speak freely, Mr. Knight." The girl could guess what he would say next without waiting for the knight to speak.

Human beings...what a weak and pathetic life.

The girl had heard of the name of this knight. From being a noble knight renowned for saving the continent to being a rat crossing the street who is hated by everyone, such a huge gap is enough to make anyone feel resentful and unwilling.

She had a pretty good guess as to what the other party was going to say.

It was probably something like 'I want to seek cooperation with you to defeat the hypocritical and ugly face of mankind', and then 'after the success, I will give you half of the human territory', which were just empty promises.

The girl didn't have any feelings about this, her only feeling was: extremely boring.

If this human is sensible, it would be best to leave before she gets bored. Otherwise, she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty and killing an annoying ant.

"Don't answer yet. Let me guess. You came here from afar just for your own selfish desires, right?" The girl said playfully, picking up the black high-heeled boots on her beautiful toes.

"That's right," the knight replied.

"Boring." The girl turned her head away, leaned back on the throne, and yawned lazily. "Then I advise you, if you want to survive, you'd better turn around and run away before I get completely bored. Don't look back."

At this point, most people will have only two reactions.

One is to be stunned for a moment, then hurriedly increase the stakes and continue to paint a rosy picture for yourself, the other is to wisely choose to turn around and run away.

Another boring day, boring people, boring things.

However, just as the girl was thinking this, the knight's next words made her look astonished in a way she hadn't for hundreds of years.

“I didn’t want to go back alive.”

"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at the expressionless tin can in front of her with amusement. "What do you mean, are you tired of living?"

"You humans should use your life span of less than a hundred years sparingly. I am not interested in your life. There is no need to risk losing your life by pretending to be profound."

However, after saying this, the knight still stood there motionless.

The girl could feel the gaze staring at her from the gap in the helmet.

"Mr. Knight, why are you looking for me?" Even with the girl's thousand years of experience, she still couldn't understand.

"I have no intention of disturbing the Queen of Eternal Night. Please don't misunderstand me. My next action is only based on my personal wish and has nothing to do with any country or race." The knight put his hand on his chest and spoke calmly.

Then he held his head high and spoke in a resounding voice.

"I beg you, the Queen of the Blood Clan, to grant me a glorious return."

“.........What do you mean?” After these words came out, the white-haired girl on the throne remained silent for three seconds.

"Are you really here to seek death?" The girl's eyes changed.

Over the past thousand years, she has seen countless humans. If she had to describe them in one sentence, humans are more evil than vampires. Fortunately, the individuals in this species are generally weak and have a very short lifespan.

So far, she has seen humans with all kinds of facial expressions, except for this one in front of her....

"Why do you want to commit suicide?" This was probably the first time that the girl had doubts about a human being and asked a question actively.

"No one needs me anymore." The knight's answer was just like his previous tone, without any emotion, but it gave people a sense of loss of a hero in his twilight years.

"No one needs you anymore? Is that why you want to commit suicide?" This surprised the girl.

"I have done everything I should do, and I have no regrets... In this peaceful era, there is no place for me." The knight spoke word by word.

The girl opened her mouth and seemed to have figured out the reason.

She had been so free that she had read the detailed resume of the Knight Commander in the intelligence files of her subordinates.

He was once the world-renowned Grand Knight of the Empire and the most influential human being today. He supported the current Empress of the Empire to ascend the throne and stabilized the empire both inside and outside the country.

But he was also the murderer of the Empress of the Empire. It was he who led the rebels to overthrow the Empress's tyrant father.

Therefore, when the Queen came of age, she stripped him of his power.

He once protected the land of elves, drove away greedy invaders for the elves who were on the decline, and prevented the situation where two high elf tribes had to sacrifice their princesses in order to seek peace and tranquility.

However, the two elves did not follow the original agreement and marry their princesses to the hero who saved countless elves from danger. Instead, after he defeated the foreign enemies, they excluded him everywhere and tried to force him away.

He came to Jiuzhou again and won the throne for the princess of Jiuzhou who was controlled by powerful officials. However, after successfully ascending the throne, the princess abandoned him.

He helped the Sakura-dyed Fox Clan to get rid of their identities as slaves, but was only seen as a stepping stone that could be repeatedly abandoned and used by the other party.

His deeds were praised by thousands of people, but no one truly understood him, including his disciples whom he taught.

He spent half his life in the military, saved the entire continent, but in the end he didn't even have a friend he could talk to.

As for the affairs of the kingdom...

If the girl remembered correctly, the cultists were not completely eradicated at the beginning. In fact, their base camp was still preserved, and their identities were not something that ordinary people could touch.

Even she knew this, but the royal family of the kingdom knew nothing about it. They were so stupid.

After so many intermarriages with humans, the heir to the divine phoenix bloodline of the gods has now become a real mortal.

The girl thought sarcastically.

Afterwards, the knight left Kyushu and joined the expeditionary force to seal the evil dragon that was threatening the border. It is said that although he defeated the dragon, he himself also suffered irreversible damage.

After experiencing so much betrayal and realizing how dangerous the world is, the girl thought that the knight had fallen to the point of seeking cooperation with her, the 'devil' herself. However, she didn't expect that all he asked for was a glorious death in battle.

"You, won't be unwilling?"

"What are you unwilling to accept?" The knight looked up, puzzled.

"Huh? Do I need to explain to you that your efforts and gains are totally disproportionate?"

"No, I've already gotten what I deserved." The knight shook his head.
