I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

"However, facing the questioning of the six-winged seraph, the incarnation of God, Lyle simply closed his eyes slightly."

He took a step forward, blocking the Plague Witch who had been severely injured by the Holy Light and had passed out.

"Yes, I betrayed... the dreams and aspirations I had when I became a knight."

"Lyle drew his silver sword and faced the six-winged seraphim in the distant sky, as well as the Holy See coalition forces behind them."

"The silver sword pointed diagonally, reflecting a clear, cold light."

“From now on——”

"I want to be Miss Witch's partner of justice!"

……

Silver Wing Chronicles

Just like its retro title, this storybook written in the golden age before the cataclysm tells a very classic story -

Lyle, a young boy born in a small border town on the mainland, has dreamed of becoming a knight of justice since he was a child.

In order to realize this dream, he practiced knighthood diligently since childhood, and finally received the blessing of the Holy See of Light during his coming-of-age ceremony... and obtained the qualification to become a knight.

You only need to travel around the continent and complete the pilgrimage to become a true Shining Knight.

While traveling across the continent, Lyle met a girl who had lost her memory.

Out of the chivalrous virtue of compassion, Lyle decided to help the amnesiac girl regain her memory, and they traveled together.

During this journey across the continent, with countless battles and adventures side by side, the feelings between Lyle and the amnesiac girl are rapidly heating up.

Eventually, I fell in love.

however--

At the end of the journey, when the amnesiac girl finally regained her memory...

Lyle just realized that the true identity of this amnesiac girl was actually a wanted person of the Holy See of Light. She was a plague witch who had caused a terrible disaster on the continent and caused countless kingdoms to suffer.

Afterwards, the pace of the plot began to take a sharp turn for the worse.

The Holy See of Light noticed the whereabouts of the Plague Witch and sent six-winged seraphs and the Knights of Judgment to hunt her down.

What Last is describing at this moment is the climax of "Silver Wing Chronicles".

After a period of painful entanglement and inner struggle, the male protagonist Lyle...

In the end, I chose to listen to the truest voice in my heart.

He betrayed the Church and swung his sword at the six-winged Seraph, the agent of the God of Light.

He stood guard over the witch who was severely injured by the Seraph and fell into deep despair.

"and then?"

As if because of a slight pause in Rast's story, small ice-blue words appeared in the air in front of him.

Next to Rast, Her Majesty the Queen of this country, Helen, was sitting on the big white and soft bed, hugging a pillow, tilting her head and listening quietly.

Helen's mother, the former Queen of the Underworld, left her many fairy tale books, but Helen's favorite was only "Silver Wing Chronicles".

From listening to her mother telling her a bedtime story in bed when she was very young, to reading the story over and over again later, and now having Last read it to her... Helen has heard this story many times, but she still listens very carefully.

And she was indeed a good listener. She knew how the story would develop later, but when Last interrupted her, she still tilted her head and asked, "What next?"

Last flipped through the rough-surfaced book again and began to tell the story.

After the climax of the battle with the incarnation of God, the six-winged Seraph, the plot development of "Silver Wings Chronicle" became logical.

Through secret investigation, the male protagonist Lyle discovered that the witch's previous amnesia was actually a conspiracy secretly planned by a mastermind in the Church of Light, whose purpose was to seize the witch's power.

After going through numerous hardships, Lyle finally defeated the cardinal, who appeared to be bright and holy on the outside but was actually ambitious in his heart, and thwarted his conspiracy.

But at the same time, due to many coincidences, the heroine was eroded by the memories of her past life, began to become heartless, and the power of the Plague Witch went out of control.

then--

It is the end of "Silver Wings Chronicles".

With the help of a group of abyss demons who had been secretly imprisoned and exploited by the Holy See of Light, but were rescued by Lyle.

Lyle broke through the corrupting power of the plague and walked up to the out-of-control witch... and confessed his feelings to her in person.

In the sound of confession, the power of love broke through the shackles and created a miracle.

The out-of-control witch recalled every detail of her acquaintance with Lyle, their journey across the continent, and found herself again.

"But I am the embodiment of plague, and I will bring death and disaster to this world." The awakened witch looked at the blood-stained Lyle in front of her, her voice trembling.

"Don't say that. That kind of thing isn't important!"

"Be it the people of the world, or the secular order and rules... at this moment, in my eyes, they are inferior to you."

"I said before, I have betrayed my previous oath of becoming a knight. I will only be your partner in justice!"

Lyle's voice was weak, but every word he spoke was clear: "If one day your power gets out of control again and is no longer tolerated by the world, then let me accompany you into the abyss and face darkness and eternal night."

"If the Church wants to judge you, then I will become the enemy of the Church!"

"If the gods want to kill you, they must step over my dead body!"

……

"Then ten years passed."

"On the border of the continent, in a dense and sparsely populated forest, Lyle and Miss Witch built a small wooden house."

"And the two of them got married and had a child..."

"And so they lived happily forever in that little house in the forest."

“Through the lush forest, you can often hear the laughter of a family.”

"The whole book is finished."

Luster gently closed the "Silver Wing Chronicle" in his hand.

There is also a simple illustration on the last page of the book, similar to its cover.

Just like the CG at the end of every adventure game——

In the glow of the setting sun, the young knight in silver armor hugged the witch shrouded in black fog tightly, and everything looked so beautiful.

It makes people want to sigh and celebrate the ending.

Chapter 106 I want to see the outside world

Luster put away the "Silver Wing Chronicle" and placed it in the bookcase next to the bedroom.

On the big, white, and soft bed, the girl with her long, ice-blue hair was still hugging the pillow in her arms.

Her eyes looked dull and gorgeous, and Rast could see the flickering candlelight on the bedside table through her eyes.

Helen was still immersed in the "Silver Wings Chronicle" that Last had told her earlier, the story of the Knight Lyle and the Plague Witch, and she did not come back to her senses for a long time, even though she had read this fairy tale book countless times.

"Have you ever seen the places Lyle traveled to in the book?"

When Rast almost thought that the Queen he served had fallen asleep, he saw an ice-blue light dancing in the air in front of him.

Unlike the words that appeared quickly when Helen gave him instructions before, this time the ice-blue light spots condensed into specific characters very slowly, with a hint of hesitation and doubt.

"Ah."

Luster nodded: "I have seen it."

"These are just ordinary sights outside this palace."

Perhaps because he, like Helen, had been imprisoned in Deep Blue Harbor for three hundred years, Last keenly perceived the reason why Helen was so hesitant at this moment.

For a long time, this queen, who was high and mighty yet like a bird in a cage, had based her understanding of the world on her fairy tale books.

Especially "Silver Wings Chronicles". The first half of "Silver Wings Chronicles" is a travelogue of the male protagonist Lyle and the amnesiac girl traveling around the continent and experiencing the customs and cultures of various countries.

Helen liked this story very much, one reason being that the love between the hero and heroine was very touching to her.

The second reason is that the content of the first half of the travelogue is the only way for her to imagine the scenery of the outside world.

On countless starless nights, Helen would sit on the bed, hugging her pillow, flipping through the fairy tale book on her lap in the dim candlelight.

Through those lines of clear black and white text, I imagined myself becoming the young knight or witch lady named Lyle in "Silver Wing Chronicle"... embarking on a journey to tour the entire continent.

Travel to the world made up in the fairy tale book, and picture in your mind the thousands of mountains and rivers and the brilliant stars described in the book.

But "Silver Wings Chronicles" is ultimately just a fantasy story, a fictitious text. Even the worlds depicted in different fairy tales often have conflicts and differences.

Helen has always wanted to verify whether the world she imagined based on the words in the fairy tale book is correct.

But she lived in the palace for a long time, and the only people she could come into contact with were the maids.

The maids were also residents of the paradise. Most of them had stayed in the palace for a long time and knew nothing about the outside world. The remaining memories had long become blurred in the eternal time and could not give Helen the answers she wanted.

On the one hand, she longed for the outside world, but on the other hand, she was afraid that the real world was completely different from what she imagined, and she could not bear the psychological gap brought about by thinking about it day and night.

Therefore, when Luster appeared, her questions became hesitant, as if she was homesick.

But in the end, yearning and curiosity overcame the fear of homesickness, and the ice-blue words condensed in the air.

"So... are there really mermaids in the depths of the ocean who sing beautifully and love to seduce sailors?"

This is the biggest crisis encountered by the hero and heroine in the early stage of "Silver Wing Chronicles".

When they were sailing out to sea, an accident happened because the sailors were bewitched by the mermaid's singing and they were stranded on an island... Finally, they were reunited after going through countless hardships.

By the way, he also met the mermaid princess and gained the friendship of the mermaid clan. The mermaid clan also had a role in the final decisive battle.

"They exist. Both the Sirens and the Mermaids really exist."

Rast recalled the information recorded in the Mystery Tower.

"It was only during the early days of human civilization, during the Age of Exploration, that shipwrecks caused by the singing of mermaids and sirens along the shipping lanes became commonplace, and humans began dispatching hunting ships to hunt these two races on a large scale."

"Long-term hunting and targeting has led to a significant decrease in the numbers of both the Sirens and Mermaids. For a long time, they could only be found in remote and distant seas."

"Later, human civilization entered the information age. Various high technologies greatly reduced the incidence of sinking accidents. In addition, people gradually realized the importance of racial diversity, and thus began to establish policies to protect the endangered sirens and mermaids."

"Today, the number of sirens and merpeople in the ocean has begun to increase again, but there are regulations prohibiting their singing near popular shipping lanes."

"So if you want to hear them sing, you probably have to go to their ancestral land to listen."

"The Siren's ancestral homeland is located in the deepest part of the ocean, but with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Does the airship really exist?"

On the big, white, and soft bed, Helen hugged a pillow, and all the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared.

She tilted her head and listened, and the ice-blue words danced in the air in front of Rast again.

“It’s real.”

Rust nodded. "Previous airship technology was somewhat flashy and lacked practicality, but with the recent advancements in rune matrix technology, it has been adopted on a large scale by many countries and forces."

"What about the goblins? Is it true that every goblin lair is so terrifying that once a princess knight enters, no matter how powerful she is, she will never be able to escape?"

Are there any strange things mixed in with your fairy tale books?

Last shook his head. "This is pure artistic fabrication. The goblins are based on real goblins, and the stories about the knight adventurers and goblins... are completely fabricated by someone to satisfy a particular quirk."

"Although the real goblins have a bit of a bad temper, their skills in alchemy are quite outstanding. They have established a prosperous goblin kingdom underground and have their own independent civilized social system."

"He's definitely not the greenskin from the books who lives in a cave, drools, and can't be defeated by anyone except the arrogant knight."

……

The conversation between the two of them continued for a long time.

It didn't stop until the white candle on the round table was almost burned out.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed."

"Here's your warm milk for bed."

Luster poured the warmed milk into a glass and brought it to the bedside.

He waited by the side, waiting for Her Majesty the Queen, who loved listening to bedtime stories, to drink the warm milk and fall asleep, and then he would wash the empty glass.

On the soft white bed, the girl with ice-blue hair hugged the pillow and blinked her dark purple eyes, looking at the cup of warm milk before bedtime... There was a trace of nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes, as if she wanted to chat for a while longer.
