People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Servais was completely dead.

Reinhardt casually tore off the cloth strips on his body, put away the huge power of the sun, pinched his waist and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Huh, is this finally over?"

His gaze couldn't help but look towards the direction of Kalia Castle.

Since Blaze and Letina are surrounding them, I guess Biddy can't cause any trouble. Besides, these puppets have stopped working, so they are probably dead, right?

Thinking of this, Reinhardt put away his weapon and turned to walk towards Seren.

But as soon as he left, part of the ground disappeared like quicksand, as if it had been wiped away, revealing a bottomless, dark crevice.

This crack extends all the way to the royal territory, and a piece of the cliff is directly cut off.

"Teacher, how about it? Did I do a good job? Clean and neat, right?" He said it in front of Se Lian as if asking for credit.

"Well, you are worthy of being my disciple. It seems that you have further comprehended and understood your own laws. Now you no longer need the help of external objects." Se Lian pinched his chin lightly and praised.

Just by watching a battle, Serlian had already figured out Reinhardt's current condition.

The more she looked at her apprentice Reinhardt, the more satisfied she was with him... Oh no, she had already recognized this apprentice a long time ago.

"But, apprentice... were you serious about what you just said?"

"What?" Reinhardt slowly typed a question mark, puzzled.

"You want to destroy Kalia and take that little Princess Lani as your wife. If that's true, I fully support you and can even help you."

"However, with your current strength, no one should be able to stop you, except for that half-wolf Blaze, whose exact strength is unclear."

Serenity was telling the truth.

She was also well aware that Blaze was a shadow beast sent by Two-Finger to follow Rani.

However, the strength of the shadow beast is the most unpredictable.

Because they are not only here to assist the gods, but also serve as a sharp knife used to monitor the gods, and even to kill the gods when necessary, just like the shadow beast beside Marika - Marica.

The power it possesses is even enough to defeat the former Queen of Night and take away her law - the destined death.

Reinhardt was also very clear about this, but this was not the point. The point was—

"Teacher, I was just saying it casually, but you took it so seriously...Rani is the monarch I serve, and I'm her knight. How could I possibly do something so outrageous? I was just saying it casually."

"However, casual words often reveal one's truest thoughts. This is something you, your disciple, have taught me."

The corners of Se Lian's mouth under the mask were slightly raised, full of teasing.

Reinhardt was speechless after hearing this, and he wished he could travel back in time and slap his old self in the face.

Why did you just casually teach Teacher Se Lian such inappropriate things?!

However, before he could open his mouth to defend himself again, suddenly, not far away from him, a few azure particles began to gather.

No one except Lani could make an appearance like this.

After a few moments, the particles slowly gathered into a human shape, and Lani, wearing a snow witch suit, appeared before his eyes.

Lani slowly opened her eyes that reflected the stars and scanned the surroundings, finally looking at the master and disciple, and finally fixed her gaze on Reinhardt.

"My knight, thank you for helping Kalia eliminate the disaster and preventing Kalia's honor from being damaged in time."

The Moon Princess' voice was still cold and clear, and it was impossible to tell her emotions, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth said it all.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness, Rani. Helping Kalia with her problems is what I, as a knight, should do."

“…I like this answer very much.”

Lani felt very happy and relieved. Perhaps the most correct thing she had ever done in her life was to appoint Reinhardt as the Knight of Kalia, and to serve as her personal knight.

But then, her eyes fell on Se Lian who was standing beside her.

"...Witch Seren, thank you for your dedication to Kalia as well... But my knight and I have something to say. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

101. Selene and Lani (4.5K)

"...Witch Seren, thank you for your dedication to Kalia as well... But my knight and I have something to say. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

Lani's tone was calm and polite, but for some reason it added a touch of tension to the air.

"Why? Princess Ranee, while my apprentice is your knight, I am also his teacher. If you have anything to say, you can speak here."

Because of the hood, Selene's expression could not be seen, but the slightly unhappy tone in his voice already explained Selene's mood at the moment.

Reinhardt was taught by her, so why should she avoid him at this time?

What's more, Kalia's little affairs were not a secret to her at all.

It's like a flea on a bald head, obvious at a glance.

For a moment, the gazes of the two people looking at each other seemed to spark in the void, and electric light was surging.

No matter who they are, they don't like each other and are unwilling to give in. The momentum is like a fight between dragons and tigers.

Reinhardt, who was standing by, also looked helpless.

"Or you two can just have a fight, and whoever wins will be the one to listen to you."

He really wanted to say this, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.

If Seren and Lani fight, it won't be a good thing no matter who wins, and he will feel awkward being caught in the middle, so he can't help anyone.

The most important thing is that it is easy to get into trouble. It will not be fun if the two of them turn their attacks on me.

Therefore, it is better for him not to say anything at this time, and just remain silent to avoid hurting innocent people and getting splashed with blood.

However, after the two stared at each other for a long time, it was finally Lani who gave in first and said:

"Well, in that case, you will be allowed to sit in on the class."

She had no intention of chatting with Seren. If she wanted to hear it, it was up to her. It wasn't a secret anyway. But the most important thing was that she didn't want her knight to be caught in the middle.

Then, she turned her gaze to Reinhardt again and said softly, "Please allow me to express my gratitude to you once again, my knight."

"Thank you for your dedication to Kalia and for eliminating the hidden disaster of Servais in time."

To be honest, Lani had long been dissatisfied with this guy Servais, but she had not taken any action for the sake of the face of those nobles.

It would be fine if he was arrogant and domineering and didn't take anyone seriously, but I didn't expect that he would want to extend his hands to other forces, and Michaela's side at that.

It is true that Michaela, who is also a god, has not yet established his own power, and the number of Zunfu Knights under his sister Marennia is not too many, but the Zunfu Knights are all brave and good at fighting, not to mention that Michaela has the eldest prince Godwin of the Golden Dynasty behind him.

If they really go to war with Michaela because of this, Godwin will definitely not sit idly by, and then Kalia will not gain any benefits.

In terms of high-end combat power, even if we use gods who can be called mobile nuclear bombs, there is no way.

After all, the other side has two gods and a powerful existence like Godwin. Even if Reinhardt is included, they are still at a disadvantage of three against two.

Although Michaela is small and seems unable to fight, her understanding of the Golden Rule is second only to [Eternal Queen] Marika.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Reinhardt nodded calmly and did not refuse Lani's compliment.

Having saved Kalia twice, the praise is not excessive.

"However, I cannot reward you for such achievements. I may even cause you to suffer an unjust accusation and prevent you from enjoying the honor you deserve. This is my dereliction of duty as a 'monarch.'" Lani sighed softly.

She was originally appointed to replace her mother as the Queen of Kalia in times of crisis, and later received help from her knight Reinhard many times, but was unable to repay him due to the help of those foolish nobles.

All he could do was come here and say some so-called "empty words", and then stand firmly on Reinhardt's side, that's all.

"It's okay. We both knew this outcome long ago, so don't worry, Your Highness, Lani. This is my duty as a knight," Reinhardt consoled her. Then, changing the subject, he said lightly, "It's not without benefits, though. I just happened to want to go out for a walk, so this gives me a legitimate excuse."

"Oh... okay."

Even though Lani was unwilling, this was the only way for now.

But suddenly she took a step forward, approached Reinhardt, and whispered softly in his ear, "But this way, we're even. Regarding your earlier rude remarks."

"?!"

Reinhardt's body trembled when he heard this, and his eyes gradually widened.

"Did you hear everything?"

But Lani didn't intend to answer. She just lowered her voice and said, "Next time, I don't want to hear words that bring shame to Lani's name. I won't allow it under any circumstances."

There was a slight blush on her fair face.

Well, it seems that not only did he hear it, but he also heard it very clearly.

Seeing Reinhardt's ashamed look, a barely perceptible smug smile flashed across Lani's lips.

Even she herself didn't realize that only when she was with Reinhardt would she unconsciously put down her airs as a princess and give up her dignity.

"...So my knight, where are you going next?" She asked again after leaving Reinhardt.

"Emmm... I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyway, going north to the Yatan Plateau is definitely out of the question. It's likely to be very chaotic soon. So, we can only go east or south." Reinhardt shrugged. "I plan to go to Nimgerfu first, take a look around, and then make a decision."

"...Well, that is indeed a nice place to go, but you must also pay attention to safety. I wish you a pleasant journey, my knight."

After saying that, Lani turned her gaze to Seren, who was sitting with his arms folded and remained silent.

"...Witch Seren, for the sake of Knight Reinhardt, I can forgive you for all you've done. However, on this journey ahead, I hope you won't corrupt my knight, won't betray his trust, and definitely won't lead him down a path of no return."

Lani's tone was very calm, but it also contained a warning, and her serious look showed that she was not joking.

"...Princess Lani, don't worry about that. Reinhardt is my beloved apprentice, Seren, and I personally taught him."

"And what is the point of no return? That is the correct path that pyroxene mages like us should follow. It is also the path that our ancestors have pointed out for us."

There was a hint of disdain in Se Lian's tone.

For her, the Path of Origin is the only way to reach the truth at the end of Stargazer, just like the end of the Magician of a Certain Moon is to get a glimpse of the root.

"Witch Se Lian, there's no need for us to harbor any hostility regarding this matter. You and I both know that exploring the origin is a forbidden path. Is becoming a star seed really what you, the Origin Faction, desire?"

Seren's words did not move Lani at all. Her expression did not even change. She just responded calmly.

Then she slowly raised the wide witch's hat and looked at the bright stars in the frozen night sky.

"...The stars are full of malice. No one knows better than me what kind of malice lies behind this seemingly beautiful starry sky. Blindly following them will not end well..."

Lani's ten fingers slowly touched each other, her voice filled with emotion.

If she had not seen the dark moon hidden behind the full moon with the help of her mother, and if she had not possessed the laws about the stars, she would not have known all this so clearly.

"Selian, your actions will only bring disaster. It's the evil path you've been forced to take after the fate of the stars has been bound."

Reinhardt strongly agrees with this point.

Whether in the game or in the present time when Seren and I have been master and apprentice for so long, coupled with everything recorded in Kalia's study, it shows that this so-called star seed, or the son of the star, is not a good thing.

Human eyes cannot reach the starry sky, which is something that stargazers in the past have known. They followed the footsteps of the stars, but only a few were able to achieve their long-cherished wish.

In addition, the arrival of the Golden Law bound the fate of the starry sky.

Thus, pyroxene magicians were born, trying to find the secrets of stars from the amber of stars - pyroxene. Some even used it to approach aliens - crystal people.

Trying to get the secrets of the starry sky from the crystal man.

But there are still some people who think that studying pyroxene is not enough, so they embark on another path -

Use the source stone knife to transform your soul into source stone and abandon the constraints of the flesh.

This is the original origin school, and it was also the school that the academy was once proud of.

He allowed his body to be corroded by pyroxene, becoming a so-called Star Child. He then linked the 'eyes' of several magicians together, transforming himself into the shape of a star, in order to approach the dangerous yet beautiful starry sky.

"...You don't need to explain this. Reinhardt is my disciple. As his teacher, I will protect him and clear all obstacles for him."

Even now, Se Lian is still stubborn and doesn't think there is anything wrong with following the footsteps of the origin.

How could they not know that there are dangers in the starry sky?

But that was the long-cherished wish of their origin group and the destination they were pursuing. How could they be shaken by a few simple words from Lani?

"Alright, alright, Her Highness Lani and Teacher Seren... there's no need for you to argue about this. Everyone has their own reasons and ideals. I don't object to Teacher Seren researching the origins."

Reinhardt slowly smiled, looked at Seren and said with relief, "After all, helping the teacher achieve his ideals is the unshirkable duty of a disciple."

After these words were spoken, Se Lian didn't know why, but he felt a little sour in the source stone in his heart.
