Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Plop!

The 'old witch' suddenly knelt down!

"Lady Alina, the 'King's Knight'..." He prostrated himself and shrank back in fear.

Li Re raised his eyebrows and wondered if this female knight of the Crucible could still be so intimidating?

Then Alina on the giant's back continued, "You are a merchant from the Chamber of Commerce, right? Why are you coming from the direction of the explorer camp?"

"Do you know that one of the city's bans is the regulation prohibiting commercial trade with the explorer camp—"

The old witch shrank even more when he heard these harsh words. He knew about the ban, of course. But in fact, there were countless merchants doing business with the Explorer Camp throughout the entire Crucible City. Even the Great Elder, who was always strict in enforcing the law, turned a blind eye to it. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess herself only used this to express her attitude and never investigated it in detail.

No one really wants to wipe out the explorer camp.

As long as you don't get caught, it's fine. After all, everyone does it... you just do it a little more! I go back and forth almost every hourglass day.

If not for this, he wouldn't have met Li Re yesterday.

If not, he wouldn't be encountering such a scene now.

The problem is, he has been caught red-handed!

"Alina..." Another clear and crisp voice came from the carriage behind Alina: "I have abolished this ban."

"Forehead..."

It was Alina's turn to feel a little embarrassed.

The old witch was also stunned.

abolition?

Wait, that sound...

"your Highness!"

The old witch seemed to have realized something and immediately lowered his head even lower! At the same time, he reacted extremely quickly and cast a look for help to Li Re behind him - this "fire mage" was able to travel with His Highness in just one hourglass day. It seemed that his "flattery" the day before was indeed correct!

He couldn't help but think so.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Li Re waved his hand and said, "Let's get straight to the point. What is the rebellion in the Explorer Camp?"

"Forehead..."

The old witch choked slightly.

Is this the way to treat Her Royal Highness the Princess? Is this saving me? Why does it feel like I am harming myself?

The "hmm" sound coming from the carriage also surprised the old witch.

How could Her Royal Highness the Princess be so indulgent towards this man?

However, even though he lowered his head, he seemed to be able to hear the obvious displeasure from the 'King's Knight' - displeasure directed at the 'Fire Mage'.

Although he didn't understand what he meant, the old witch took a deep breath. Knowing that his life was saved, he quickly said, "I don't know what happened. I just came to the Explorer Camp today to sell the city's supplies as usual... This is also the task assigned by the Chamber of Commerce. But when I entered the Explorer Camp, I saw them gathered together, saying that they wanted to counterattack the Furnace City and overthrow the Furnace..."

"I didn't dare to listen carefully. I was so scared that I didn't even want the goods and turned around to run away - and then I met you."

"In short, Your Highness, please return to the city as soon as possible - they are probably on their way now!"

"Take me with you, too!"

After hearing the words of the merchant named 'Old Witch', the caravan fell into silence.

The news that the Explorer Camp, which used to be opposed to the Crucible Faction but always maintained a secret connection with the Crucible City, had suddenly launched a rebellion caught everyone off guard.

Li Re, who was standing behind the old witch, suddenly sighed.

He said, "It's too late."

"They're already here!"

Such words fell.

A rustling sound was then heard.

There were more footsteps coming from the darkness.

More figures were approaching from the darkness.

The old witch's expression suddenly changed. Although the 'King-near Knight' Alina was still hostile and wary of Li Re and Lu Baixi - because of the recent attack on the meeting hall by Li Re and Lu Baixi, even though Lu Baixi quickly released her from the Ghost Story Amusement Park and did not let her really get hurt, and Antis explained it very clearly to her, the old-fashioned and serious female knight still couldn't let go of the grudge in her heart!

But she knew the seriousness of the matter, and at this moment she became serious, drew out the long sword at her waist and pointed it in front of her - Antis and Lu Baixi, who were standing tall, were startled again.

They looked at the figure gradually approaching in the darkness in front of them.

Also watching the faint light slowly lighting up in the darkness.

That is the light of the moon.

The Silver Moon Era had long passed, and Yanike had disappeared even more completely. However, the old people who had come through the Silver Moon Era had all followed Andre to learn the swordsmanship and combat methods of the Silver Moon Knights. They could imitate a false "moon" and display minimal strength.

Such a Yue is certainly not as good as Antis, who inherited the power of the Silver Moon Knight bloodline directly from Andre.

But it can also exert certain abilities to a minimum extent.

The people coming before me are indeed from the Explorer Camp!

Antis was slightly distracted.

Li Re, who was standing at the front, glanced sideways and inexplicably thought that to some extent, this rebellion came at a very timely moment.

He was so thick-skinned that he didn't even realize he was being slapped in the face.

He just felt that his previous guess was more correct!

Chapter 383: Antis' Declaration, Disappearing Ruins

Yes, that is more correct - all rebellions are mostly caused by survival and political crises. But in a world close to the abyss and destruction, where does the politics come from for the fragile civilization rebuilt by people who have experienced countless disasters?

The people in the exploration camp did not face any survival crisis. They could still get supplies from the caravan and had enough energy to transport firewood to the furnace city.

The purpose of their rebellion is to burn the soul of Antis as a furnace for firewood - the purpose is naturally self-evident!

This sudden rebellion caused the convoy to come to a complete standstill here.

Standing at the edge of the firelight reflected by the giant and the car, Li Re turned to face the darkness and felt a little interested. He waved his hand behind him, indicating that there was no need to panic, and his eyes looking at the dark world also drooped slightly, quietly waiting for the footsteps to get closer.

Antis stood on the carriage, pursing his lips.

Lu Baixi pushed his glasses up and took a deep breath, ready to switch his consciousness at any time and let Lu Baixi take action.

The Crucible Knight and the 'King's Guardian' Alina stood astride the giant's back, holding the heavy sword tightly in both hands, and the giant shield held in the hands of the giant under her feet was also enveloped by the flames.

The 'old witch' hid behind Li Re, trembling with fear on his face.

The sound of footsteps was approaching like a galloping horse.

And facing the dim and hazy moon-like light that is approaching in the darkness...

At this moment, not only Li Re, Lu Baixi and Antis, but even Alina and the old witch could clearly see the figure of the person coming.

At this moment, the darkness seemed to be shrouded by a hazy veil, or wrapped in pale mist, and countless figures in white armor approached from all directions like a tide -

The number is not huge at first glance, but there are still hundreds of them!

Hundreds of people were obviously more than enough to surround them.

However, just when they finally approached...Antis clenched his fists slightly and took a deep breath.

"People of Silver Moon, please stop!"

The girl's voice suddenly rang out, spreading out in the darkness like a whirlwind, and the clear and bright voice exploded like thunder. Li Re, who was standing in front, was slightly startled and looked back, only to see the straight and heroic blonde girl standing on the carriage with her battle skirt swaying, her stern posture as majestic as a Valkyrie.

Following her voice, the group of 'Silver Moon people' who were coming really stopped.

Their slow steps forward slowed down noticeably in the darkness, and then there were waves of shocked voices.

"This car, this flag, this voice... Could it be Lord Antis?"

"Why is Lord Antis here?"

"Did our secret get exposed in advance?!" He looked a little panicked in astonishment.

Li Re's ears twitched slightly during this time, and he saw hundreds of 'Silver Moon Citizens' looking at each other, and their eyes revealed through the gaps covered by the armor clearly showed surprise.

Although facing the rebellion of the people from the 'Silver Moon' lineage in the exploration camp, Li Re was actually ready to take action... This group of people came with great momentum, and although they were not as powerful as the Furnace Knights individually, each of them had strength that was not inferior to that of a Black Iron Extreme player with an evolution degree of 19 points... They were explorers who often went in and out of the ruins, and were elites who often had to face abyss monsters. It was normal for them to have such strength, and with enough numbers, Li Re would certainly not let them get close.

However, when he heard Antis speak, he paused slightly, turned his head to look at the blonde girl who was speaking, and inexplicably thought that this might be an opportunity.

Antis seemed to have thought it through!

I figured out how to make up for my mistakes.

It’s not a bad idea to let her make the decision here!

She then spoke.

The girl stood in front of the carriage door and said loudly: "I know what you want to do - but I will not call you a rebel for this, and I have no right to punish or reprimand you here."

"I know that you just want to take back what belongs to you and the power that belongs to you."

"I'm not here to stop you."

"I just came to express my apologies to you all!"

After these words were spoken, the girl standing in front of the car took a deep breath, then slowly lowered her head under the light of the fire from high above.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The 'Silver Moon People' who came from the camp and still believed in Silver Moon did not seem to have expected such a scene at all, and all stood there in a daze.

But as soon as he said this, Antis suddenly felt relaxed.

She lowered her head and continued, "I apologize for the mistakes I made in the past. I apologize for expelling you from Crucible City in a fit of rage. I apologize for being so childish and ridiculous in the past."

"I sincerely hope that the people who still believe in Silver Moon can return to the embrace of Crucible City - greater darkness and turmoil are coming, and Crucible City is the only hope for the future!"

She stood up and looked at everyone sincerely and earnestly!

The already quiet world became even quieter.

I don’t know how long it took.

A sigh suddenly came from among the 'Silver Moon Citizens'.

"It seems that Your Highness still doesn't know why we are doing this..." A figure wearing pale armor walked out from the crowd with a rustling sound. The man took off his helmet, revealing an old face full of wrinkles. He looked at Antis from afar in the darkness shrouded by the silver moonlight like white mist, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness does not need to apologize for expelling us from the Crucible City. Although we have not lived in the Crucible City in the past few months, we know that Your Highness has been secretly arranging people to transport supplies to us... helping us in various names, and there is no problem with our survival."

"Well said."

After the old man finished speaking, a second figure walked out from the crowd. After taking off his helmet, the man revealed an old face. He also said, "It is normal for His Highness Antis to be unable to recover from the pain of losing his father."

"However..."

"No matter what, the future of this world should not be borne by you!"

"When Lord Andre brought the furnace back from the ruins, he had already thought that the new fire would one day no longer be able to keep the furnace running. If there is no new hope, then it will be time for old men like us to throw ourselves into the furnace."

"But you denied us that opportunity."

"You rebelled against your father's words and used your own soul as fuel."

"You even expelled us from the Crucible City in order to prevent us from joining the Crucible—"

"That's what we're really angry about."

The 'Silver Moon Citizens' walked out one after another, taking off their helmets one after another, revealing their old faces... The so-called 'Silver Moon Citizens', the so-called 'Explorer Camp', turned out to be all old people!

They said in a low voice: "The furnace in Furnace City has deviated from Lord Andre's original intention."

“We have to overturn it.”

"..."

The old men seemed very enthusiastic and excited, even though meeting Antis here was an accident in itself, and even though their actions were known by Antis, it was beyond their plan.

But they seemed to have found a way to vent.

Li Rexu raised his eyes and looked at Antis above, thinking that there was such a behind-the-scenes situation... Antis was still the same Antis, the Antis who had not changed.

If you think about it carefully, during the camp period in this world, it was common to use the elderly as firewood.

Facing the old men's 'accusations', the Knight Princess took a deeper breath.

She listened to what they said and finally realized that Li Re was right.
