Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Seeing this, Anjie quickly cast a healing spell and carefully returned to her teammates.

Now that her teammates have made up their minds, all Anjie has to do is to assist them with all her strength.

Famine, who was standing not far away, saw everyone raising their weapons again and just smiled coldly.

"Keep struggling. I will take back everything you took from us without leaving a single thing behind!"

------

On Ye Qing's side, she had already brought Huangfu Wen Ning into the bell tower and started rushing upwards.

They haven't encountered the Death Knight downstairs yet, so after thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that he is upstairs.

Right now my teammates are in a tough battle. If I want to rush to help them as soon as possible, I have to defeat the Death Knight here.

"Ye Zi, don't you think something is wrong?"

Just when the two of them rushed to the top of the building, Huangfu Wenning suddenly spoke.

This made Ye Qing, who was rushing in front, stop suddenly. After looking around and making sure that there was nothing strange in any corner, she turned around and said.

"No, at least there doesn't seem to be anything at the moment. Sister Huangfu, have you found anything?"

Ye Qing's hand was already on the hilt of the sword of justice, but she did not let her guard down.

Since the teammates around me noticed that something was wrong, it might be that I was negligent.

"No, it's not the surroundings, it's this staircase..."

Huangfu Wenning hesitated for a while, then drew out his sword and tapped the stairs under his feet.

She was a little worried that she was being too suspicious, but years of gymnastics training had given her a good sense of space and balance.

Therefore, when there are slight changes in the environment around her, she will feel it more clearly.

"Stairs? You mean the stairs are changing?"

Ye Qing looked around vigilantly, then stabbed the sword in his hand directly into the steps.

But the stairs did not change at all, and the sword in his hand did not seem to move either.

"To be precise, I think this thing is moving."

Huangfu Wenning signaled Ye Qing to draw his sword first, and pointed to the stairs under his feet.

"Just now when we were going upstairs, although it was only a very faint feeling, I clearly felt that the stairs under my feet were actually rotating. It's just that because it is a spiral staircase, it doesn't feel that obvious."

The staircase inside the entire clock tower is spiral, so during the ascent, players can easily be confused by the spiral feeling itself.

Humans are creatures that are easily confused by their senses, so it would be fine if the completely virtual fantasy of the divine world was not so realistic, but it is basically no different from a personal experience.

As the saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly." This is exactly the case.

"not bad."

Before Ye Qing could speak, a powerful voice came from above them, which made the two of them immediately alert. They gripped their weapons tightly and prepared for battle.

The door above the bell tower was slowly pushed open, and the knight in heavy black armor appeared in front of them.

Even with a helmet and a mask on, the familiar voice still allowed Ye Qing to guess the other person's identity.

"Sandro...Knight?"

Even Ye Qing himself found it a little unbelievable.

Knight Sandro, who was lost in Astra before, unexpectedly appeared in this place at this moment. How could people not be confused?

"Don't go any further up there. It's just a shadow over there. Wait until the stairs turn around or switch back."

Knight Sandro smiled and took off his helmet, revealing his current face.

That was Zhang Jianyi's middle-aged face. Although there were no more scars on his face, it still looked weathered and heavy.

What's more important is his temperament. Knight Sandro doesn't show any evil characteristics at all. He is just like the resolute pioneer knight recorded in the portrait.

Even if you just look at it, it will make people feel respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"...How can I trust you?"

Ye Qing was referring to something, not only the spiral staircase in front of him, but also the Knight Sandro standing on top.

After experiencing what happened in Astra, Ye Qing once listed Knight Sandro as an extremely dangerous enemy, and even spent a long time on guard against the other party's possible actions.

Now Knight Sandro suddenly appeared in front of her, looking like a guide. How could she not be suspicious?

"If I want to attack you, why would I appear in front of you openly?"

Knight Sandro smiled and opened the door on his side completely.

There was no suspicious person around him, not even a weapon. He was the only one standing in front of the door.

"Come up, we'll talk up there."

After saying that, he turned around and left the gate, leaving Ye Qing and Huangfu Wenning who were still a little confused.

Huangfu Wen Ning tentatively took out the props and threw them to both sides.

Just as the other party said, the platform in front of them was just an illusion, but there was a transparent platform where Knight Sandro had just stood.

If the two of them had missed a step just now, even the fall damage would have killed them directly.

"Go up."

Ye Qing took a deep breath, figured out the approximate location, and then jumped up first, directly jumping onto the platform opposite.

Although there are many things that I don’t understand now, if I get stuck in this situation, I will definitely not understand anything.

After the two left the spiral staircase, they naturally came to the platform above the clock tower.

I didn't expect that there was such a special platform above the bell tower. This location could not be seen at all due to the fog.

Knight Sandro was already prepared here. He sat in front of the stone table and extended his hand to the two of them.

"Please take a seat. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Looking at Knight Sandro's gentle smile, Ye Qing felt a chill down his spine.

At that time in the underground cemetery, Knight Sandro's sudden change of hostility caused them a lot of trouble.

More importantly, after learning about what happened to the Royal Pioneer Knights in Astra, it was difficult for Ye Qing to blame Knight Sandro for his actions.

"Are you the fourth of the so-called Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally sat in front of Knight Sandro.

In this howling cold wind, there is a rather strange feeling.

Huangfu Ti was also sitting on the side with a fierce look in his eyes, ready to draw his sword at any time.

"To be precise, I am just an agent."

Knight Sandro nodded, but still added a clarification.

The thick black armor on his body made Ye Qing feel somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't recognize which equipment it was.

"The true Death Knight is just a force, a force sealed in a weapon. Anyone who picks up that blade can be a Death Knight."

Hearing what Knight Sandro said, Ye Qing couldn't help but frown.

This was different from what she had seen in the strategy book. The Death Knight should have been a specific goal, so how did it become a force?

"There is no problem with the book you and the Son of the Outer Realm obtained from the library of the Ancient God. The problem is with me. I blocked the power of the Death Knight in some way, so that's why it is written in the book."

"How do you know what's in the book?"

Ye Qing sneered, her vigilance towards Knight Sandro did not decrease at all.

Chapter 28 The Birth of the City of Shadows

Ye Qing was sure that the book had not been shown to any third party, and he had only viewed it privately through the system in the guild base.

If Knight Sandro knew the exact contents, it was possible that he knew what was written in the book in advance, or he was inside the library at the time.

No matter which situation it is, it is not very optimistic for Ye Qing.

"Most of the content of that book was handed over by me."

Knight Sandro smiled and leaned back in the chair with some relaxation.

This was something Ye Qing had really not expected. Such a crucial item was actually handed over by Knight Sandro himself.

Ye Qing and Knight Sandro were not familiar enough to accept each other's words, not to mention that they had wanted to beat each other's brains out before.

But as for how to prove it, it is definitely impossible to do now, so Ye Qing can only put this question aside for the time being.

"Well, since you've said that, you probably guessed why we're here."

Ye Qing's hand was already on justice, ready to draw his sword and chop people at any time.

Now that things have come to this, if there is nothing more to say, Ye Qing does not intend to give Knight Sandro another chance to escape.

The last time he ran away, he caused Ye Qing a lot of trouble. How could Ye Qing let him go this time?

"Don't be anxious. I'm not in a hurry to fight you because I need your help."

Knight Sandro still looked leisurely, as if he didn't take Ye Qing and Huangfu Wen Ning seriously at all.

It was obvious that he didn't even have a weapon at hand, and he was even facing Ye Qing who could kill most of the bosses alone.

Do you want something from yourself?

Ye Qing frowned slightly. Although he was not sure whether Knight Sandro was trying to delay time or had something he really wanted, since the other party had spoken, Ye Qing didn't mind listening first.

However, time is still limited. Even if he believes in the strength of his teammates, Ye Qing will naturally not let a large number of teammates die in exchange for victory.

"Long story short, no nonsense."

Ye Qing stared at Knight Sandro with cold eyes, causing the other party to raise his hands to show that he had no hostility.

As if he was somewhat surprised by Ye Qing's decisive attitude, Knight Sandro sighed helplessly.

After indicating that he had no hostility, he slowly reached his hand into the space beside him and took the thing out at an extremely slow speed.

When Knight Sandro placed the dark block on the table, Ye Qing subconsciously tightened his sword.

The reason is simple: the dark block looks too creepy.

It was a regular hexahedron, but on each side there was a ferocious eyeball that kept rotating, but none of the eyes were staring at Ye Qing.

"what is this?"

"The legacy of the ancient gods, a product from the last era, is a useless block if it is not triggered, but if it is triggered..."

Knight Sandro also asked Ye Qing for consent before unfolding a small barrier and placing the block inside it.

He placed his fingers on the cube's eyeballs, and helplessly grabbed the helmet next to him and put it back on.

“There might be some excitement next.”

Some excitement?

Ye Qing almost subconsciously put on the immunity potion, but the next moment, the piercing scream seemed to penetrate his eardrums.

Knight Sandro's fingers pierced the eyeball directly, and the twisted tentacles and dark red flesh exploded in an instant.

This made Ye Qing and Huangfu Wenning cover their ears subconsciously, but at the same time they were also frightened by the blocks in the barrier.

In that not-so-big barrier, the dark block suddenly expanded.

No, to be more precise, it should be some kind of flesh that forcibly squeezed open these external blocks, as if trying desperately to squeeze out.

But due to the restraint of Knight Sandro, the "monster" inside the barrier howled in pain, and its ever-expanding body was unable to break through the barrier.

Just when Ye Qing was about to draw his sword and chop someone, Knight Sandro very tactfully retracted the barrier and forced everything inside it back.

Not until the shrill screams gradually faded away did Ye Qing and Huangfu Wen Ning loosen their hands, and the "?" debuff in their status bars also disappeared.

"What on earth is this...?"

Ye Qing gritted her teeth, and she clenched the Justice in her hand again, ready to strike back with the sword at any time.

If this thing was thrown over by Knight Sandro, he and Huangfu Wenning would probably have to continue fighting under the strange debuff.

Apart from anything else, the sound that tortures the eardrums is truly unbearable.

"I told you, this is the legacy of the ancient gods, an experiment left behind by those inhuman beings in this world."
