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

"What do you want?"

"It's simple. Hold on to this last piece of fog. I'll let you destroy the Death Knight's weapons. You should also be able to gain an existence that is no less than justice..."

Knight Sandro took out the giant sword that symbolized the power of the Death Knight. He had never used this blade before.

This giant sword, which is as tall as a person, makes people feel quite oppressive, not to mention the vibration that seems like a heartbeat.

"Of course, if you no longer need justice, I can also exchange it with you for something else, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"You think too much!"

Ye Qing snorted coldly. No one could take justice away from her.

As if he had not expected Ye Qing to have such a big reaction, Knight Sandro was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, what do you think?"

"I have to go talk to Sera. Before that, I hope you don't make any unnecessary moves, otherwise I will go to war with all my strength."

Ye Qing stood up, but she did not make a direct promise.

For her and Knight Sandro, this was the bottom line that both sides could accept.

If Ye Qing made further excessive demands, he himself would not be able to accept them, and Knight Sandro would naturally not tolerate Ye Qing's demands.

"Of course, please go ahead. I'll be waiting for you here."

Knight Sandro nodded, and the huge sword in his hand remained stuck in place, as if to show his sincerity.

Ye Qing also took the notebook away first, as evidence that could be used to convince Sera.

After leaving the bell tower, Huangfu Wenning couldn't help but ask.

"Ye Zi, how credible do you think his words are?"

"Eighty percent."

“Can this be 80%?”

Huangfu Wen Ning couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know where Ye Qing's confidence came from.

In her opinion, the communication with Knight Sandro just now was nothing more than delaying time. She also received news of the successful crusade from Zhao Manying in the team channel.

But Ye Qing did not ask his teammates to come over, and continued to communicate with Knight Sandro.

"Knight Sandro is a man whose words are basically all true, but when put together, the meaning is different."

After what happened with Astra, Ye Qing basically understood the character of Knight Sandro.

This person may not tell lies in communication, but just challenging the order of the truth is enough to send the wrong message.

The key is, what exactly is the wrong information this time?

Chapter 30 The Secret of Knight Sandro

When they came to Sera, Sera looked at the two of them with obvious surprise.

"Zero, did you run into any trouble in the Central District?"

She has completely taken over the South District and is now able to free up her hands to help. If Ye Qing really encounters any difficulties, she can provide support.

"There are some things I need to confirm with you..."

Ye Qing looked solemn, and pulled Sera to the side to explain.

She relayed to Sera exactly the information she had obtained from Knight Sandro, and also conveyed the somewhat strange "armistice agreement".

"I'm not really sure what the so-called ancient gods are, but it's just as he said. This world is a combination of illusion and reality, and it's created by some kind of power and rules."

Sera nodded. Since she absorbed the power of several other Apocalypse Knights, her perception of her surroundings has gradually changed.

From the beginning, he only knew a little more than Ye Qing, but now he has most of the control over the entire Shadow City.

It was also from this time that she began to gradually have this vague feeling, but she had no way to confirm it.

"So..."

"That's acceptable, but we need to emphasize the details."

Sera nodded, confirming the "truce agreement".

She also didn't want the world she depended on for survival to be destroyed, and she didn't want the so-called unknown ancient gods to take away everything she had, even if it was just a possibility.

"I will bring back the Death Knight's greatsword. It will be up to you to decide what to do with it then."

Ye Qing nodded. After making up her mind, she naturally started to act. It would be best if the matter could be resolved as soon as possible.

The existence of the Shadow City still needs to be investigated, but the current situation needs to be dealt with.

Knowing that there is a time bomb under his feet, anyone would inevitably become a little impatient, but Ye Qing was relatively calm.

"Don't worry. As long as you can bring that thing back, I can extract the power crystal inside and shape it into any equipment you need."

Sera nodded. Now that she had enough power, she became more "generous" in terms of rewards.

Even if there are enough conditions, it is not impossible for her to create "exclusive" equipment.

At the same time, the vines surrounding the clock tower in the fog all stopped. Although they still surrounded the clock tower tightly, they did not launch an invasion.

Knight Sandro, who was standing on the platform, noticed this and smiled unconsciously.

"You're quite capable of execution. It's time for me to take some practical action as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Knight Sandro clapped his hands, and a silver scepter floated out from the void and pierced directly into the center of the dial of the clock tower.

In an instant, the hour hand that had not moved for a long time slowly moved one tick.

Ripples seemed to be stirred up in the thick fog, but before the ripples could spread beyond the fog, they completely solidified.

The monsters moving in the fog also stopped, as if affected by something, and collapsed to the ground like corpses.

After the hour hand moved, Knight Sandro, who was originally standing in place, suddenly fell to his knees in pain and roared unconsciously.

The pitch-black armor began to be pulled away from him, and in the endless thick fog, it seemed as if a beast-like growl was approaching Knight Sandro.

“Everyone…get out!!”

This was the first time that such a ferocious expression appeared on Sandro's resolute face.

He seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast that would choose its prey and roared towards the fog.

The armor seemed to be peeled off from the flesh and blood, and every inch that left Knight Sandro's body was taking away a part of his body.

Until it was completely pulled out, turning into countless pitch-black threads and returning to the giant sword.

Sandro slowly stood up, wiped the blood off his body while panting, and put on his robe again.

Countless ferocious eyes opened on the Death Knight's giant sword. These blood-red eyes stared at Knight Sandro, as if calling him.

"This doesn't work on me. Have you forgotten?"

Knight Sandro smiled and put on a robe to cover his muscular body covered with scars.

He walked in front of the giant sword, and the eyes on the giant sword began to blink violently again, as if expressing something to Knight Sandro.

Putting the silver scepter back into the void, Knight Sandro pulled out a dark red chain from somewhere and wrapped it directly around the giant sword.

During the entanglement process, the giant sword continuously emitted some kind of power, trying to shake Knight Sandro away.

But no matter how the giant sword tried, it could not stop Knight Sandro's actions until the dark red chain was completely wrapped around the sword and the power from the blade was completely suppressed.

------

"Here I come, Knight Sandro!"

Ye Qing pushed open the door to the upper floor of the bell tower and naturally saw Knight Sandro sitting at the table and the huge black sword inserted beside him.

Both of them noticed the chain on the giant sword at the same time, which made Huangfu Wen Ning subconsciously think that Knight Sandro might have tampered with it.

However, they did not show any expression. If they showed too much attitude at this moment, they would probably suffer losses in the negotiations with Knight Sandro.

Only Divinity Fantasy is a unique game that requires you to face NPCs so cautiously.

"Welcome, Knight Zero. I noticed the vines around us. Can I take that as a sign of truce?"

Knight Sandro nodded and motioned for the two to sit down at the table first so that they could talk.

But for Ye Qing, she was more alert to what Knight Sandro had just done and what the actual purpose behind it was.

This man would not do anything without benefit. Knight Sandro's sudden negotiation must have some benefit to him that he was unaware of.

"Okay, but there are still conditions to discuss. If you don't agree, we can just go to war."

Ye Qing nodded, and took Huangfu Wenning to the table and sat down.

She only glanced at the notebook briefly. Most of what was written on it were legends related to ancient gods, and she couldn't figure out anything in a short period of time.

"Then I guess I'll just have to talk."

Knight Sandro smiled and shrugged, and the two men quickly negotiated the terms between them.

Ye Qing felt that the negotiation went quite smoothly this time, to the point of being a little unexpected.

Knight Sandro was able to make decisions on many of the conditions proposed by Sera, and even if they were unacceptable, he also proposed some benefits that Sera could not refuse.

This even includes the exploration of the power of the ancient gods, and even a real meeting with the owner of the clock tower.

At least according to Knight Sandro, although the owner of the bell tower dislikes Sera very much, he seems to want to meet Ye Qing.

"What is the basis for your statement? I don't think I have ever seen the owner of this clock tower?"

Ye Qing frowned. She wondered if this person was just talking too much and thought she was easy to fool.

Furthermore, if the owner of the clock tower really wanted to meet me, why didn't he contact me after I had been in the foggy city for so long?

"There are two possibilities. One is that the other party is subject to some kind of restrictions. We can only contact you after we complete these things today. The other is that he is talking nonsense..."

Huangfu Wen Ning gave his own judgment in the team channel, which coincided with Ye Qing's idea.

She could even think further and wonder if everything they did today was to liberate the owner of the clock tower?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing quickly reviewed the details of the negotiations between the two parties.

But unfortunately, she couldn't find any loopholes in it.

"So, we have a deal then?"

Knight Sandro placed a parchment contract in front of the two men, which listed all the treaties negotiated by both parties.

On both sides of the signature, one is the signature of the owner of the clock tower. The beautiful handwriting on it easily makes people think of him as a dignified and decent person.

"As long as we get that foreigner to sign his name here, the matter will be done. We will just not invade each other from now on, and you can take the sword away directly."

Pushing the contract forward, Knight Sandro has basically done what he should do.

As for whether Ye Qing and others agree to the contract, that is their business.

Knight Sandro doesn't need to worry that Ye Qing will not fulfill his contract after the sword is taken away. If he does not agree to the contract, the sword will be more useful than a fire poker.

After accepting the contract, Ye Qing also walked to the giant sword, looked at Huangfu Wen Ning, and then reached out to try to grasp the blade.

The moment she gripped the sword, there was nothing special about it except the strange feeling in her hand.

After confirming that there was no problem, the two turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to push the door and walk into the clock tower, Ye Qing stopped and turned to look at Knight Sandro.

"Knight Sandro, I really want to know why you betrayed your faith so easily in Astra, and even turned around to help the Demon King?"

After these words were spoken, the smile on Knight Sandro's face became obviously forced.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, but in the end he shook his head calmly.

"Just to survive."

"Just to survive?"

Ye Qing sneered, did not ask any more questions about Knight Sandro, turned around and left the platform completely.

She believed that the upright and resolute knight she met in both lives was the truest side of Knight Sandro.

But what made such a knight become what he is now might not be as simple as just wanting to survive.

Maybe it's time to go back to Astra...
