Ark, they don't revolve around you

"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."

"I almost died." Xuan Tie's face was gloomy. "In fact, all my subordinates and comrades died. As you wished, the mastermind behind the Rose Press, Mr. Kane."

Hearing the mockery in his tone, the person on the other end of the phone was not angry: "In the face of victory, sacrifice is inevitable."

"Heh." Xuan Tie sneered.

"Come to me, as soon as possible, and don't let anyone notice." There was a hint of joy in the voice on the phone, as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

A patter of rain began to fall, scattering the neon light.

Different from the noise of the past, there seemed to be some kind of fear.

The screen was still broadcasting news about the Demon King without restraint, as if it was deliberately exaggerated or even exaggerated.

"The Demon King destroyed the Four Nations Alliance. He needs to take full responsibility for the death of Silver Spear Pegasus."

Xuan Tie felt that the people of Rose Newspaper were more and more amazing. They mobilized all the forces at hand, including the Wuzhou Alliance, and yet they still publicized their defeat.

The traffic on the road was crowded and the sound of horns was deafening.

Xuantie ignored the noise and walked quietly into the underground.

The corridor was dark, but as a killer, Xuantie did not turn on the lights as he was already accustomed to this kind of view.

Until the end, the lights came on.

The huge light illuminates the square space. The walls are as white as jade, and the dome is made of colored glass, like a magnificent temple.

Under the temple is a tall tower, surging with a hot breath.

This is one of Cavalleriacchi's laboratories, but a coffin is placed there inappropriately.

In front of the coffin, a man in a noble suit raised his head and stared at the countless divided screens in front of him, which seemed to be recording the major blocks of Cavaleliaki.

This man is undoubtedly Kane, the leader of Rose Press.

"Is this how you gather intelligence, Kane?"

"It's just a little trick. Now is the information society. Nothing is more precious than information."

The man who had gained absolute say in the Business Federation in the name of the Devil's Judgment handed over the wine glass and smiled slightly: "This is the first time we have met, Xuantie, you are finally willing to reveal your appearance to me."

"I don't want to hear nonsense."

"How can this be nonsense? Tell me, how did you escape from that devil?"

"I'm a killer, so I'm naturally prepared."

Kane nodded after hearing this.

Xuan Tie spoke again: "I have already delayed enough time for you. Don't tell me that your last trump card is this coffin."

"Not bad, right? This is a tomb from at least a thousand years ago. It took us at least twenty years to dig it out."

Kane's fingertips stroked the coffin, and his rough fingertips brushed across the carved stone.

"Just for a dead man's stuff."

"Don't underestimate the dead, Lord Xuantie. Even if you and I don't want to admit it, a thousand years ago was a mythical era. At that time, the blood of the gods and people was not weak, and one of them could slaughter an entire army."

"That was the time of Pegasus."

"Yes, the gods and men gallop across the earth like a violent storm. From Sargon to Yan, everywhere is ruled by these terrible gods and men."

"And in Casimir, the gods and people surrounded the Pegasus royal family and called themselves knights - this is also the origin of the Knight Country of Casimir."

The man spoke of history in silence, "There is no other country like ours that is centered around a group of knights."

"So what?" Xuan Tie sneered, "The gods' people have all turned to dust, and in the end, the knights still had their authority usurped by you shameless slaves."

"The knights are stupid. In front of capital, they are as humble as ants, just toys." Kane did not hide his contempt. "As businessmen, we can certainly drive them, but they control the power and the army after all."

"Even if the Wuzhou League faced the Silver Spear Pegasus head-on, they would be crushed to pieces, right?"

"So what?"

"So, as merchants, we have always been suppressed. This coffin is the means I prepared to resist the knights. It can completely replace the Silver Spear Pegasus and become the power of Casimir's center!"

The man spread his hands and sighed, "It's just that the crisis of the Demon King is imminent. I have no choice but to use you to waste some time and confuse the Demon King."

"Do you really think that one person can defeat the devil?"

“Isn’t the Demon King just a mere human? He clearly has control over Kazdel, but he’s not raising an army to attack now because he thinks it’s unnecessary.”

"Although I don't want to admit it, sometimes a single powerful person is enough to stir up the land."

The man gestured to the commanders, and they immediately opened the coffin, revealing a being wrapped in armor inside.

The body, which has not decayed for thousands of years, is dressed in the most luxurious armor, with a sword hanging at the waist, and it seems that it will wake up and charge into battle at any time.

"A long time ago, those knights had a habit."

"They often acquire great treasures, but they only leave a portion of them to their descendants, and then build a tomb in an unknown wilderness and bury the treasure with themselves."

"The Knight's Treasure. I always thought it was a story to trick children."

"But it's true. Many noble knights believe that they can still follow their king after death." The man couldn't help but sneer, "A large amount of wealth was wasted by them. These knights are Casimir's sinners."

"The man in the coffin was once a knight?"

"This is--"

Kane, who was still immersed in explaining the world of Casimir, felt a chill down his spine.

Because the person who asked the question was not Xuantie, but a man as invisible as a shadow.

He looked at the knight in the coffin curiously, blinked, turned around and smiled and asked: "Is this what you hope to defeat me with?"

He sighed: "You Terrans are really interesting. You always like to use things from the ancients."

The man's lips trembled as he uttered his name: "Zhuang Ning...Demon King?"

"Yes, but I still hope you can call me Doctor, Mr. Kane."

Zhuang Ning stood up, looking as if he was listening attentively, "Don't mind me, just continue to solve your doubts for the Xuantie throne."

"You shouldn't be here!" A look of panic flashed across Kane's face.

The reason why he asked the Wuzhou Alliance to do those things was to confuse the Demon King, but this person still showed up openly!
