Chapter VIII Knight Code V
"Wake up, kid."
The call came from a distant place, blurring until the sound became closer and closer.
Sistine opened her eyes with difficulty, and a white-haired old man appeared in front of him with a kind smile.
He stood there for a long time before recalling what had happened before.
He stood up in a daze, leaned against the wall, and found himself lying on a wooden bed. In addition to himself, there was also an old man who awakened him.
"...Thank you for saving me. I met a robber before, and I and him..."
When Sistine was still trying to make up a crappy lie to reasonably explain his current situation.
The old man thoughtfully handed over a glass of water and said with a smile: "Resa is right, you are indeed a clever child."
Sistine held the water cup and was stunned on the spot, leaving only confusion in her pupils for a moment.
The person in front of him said his teacher’s name!
This proves that the other party knows his identity, rather than saving his passers-by.
When the old man saw his appearance, he seemed to remember something, shook his head and sighed:
"Sistine, you should have heard my name from your teacher, I am the bastard Merlin in his mouth."
The water in the water cup suddenly turned out most of it, Sistine stood up and looked at the kind-faced, gray-haired old man in front of him in disbelief.
This is the legendary great prophet, the friend Meilin who the teacher often mentions?!
"Shh, I know you are full of confusion, but don't ask, hide it in your heart, and then use your own eyes to explore."
The old man raised his fingers in front of his lips and said with a smile.
He patted Sistine on the shoulder, got up from the chair and said, "Come on, knight, let's see how the world outside has changed."
When Sistine heard the sound of "Knight", his body trembled slightly, and the depths of his pupils dimmed.
He stood up and followed the old man and followed him to the window.
Based on the distance between the window and the ground, Sistine determined that they were at least on the third and fourth floors of the house.
He opened the curtains and looked into the distance, shocked.
The originally prosperous Nolbek was already full of smoke, and black smoke was distributed in every corner of the city. The streets were full of hurried pedestrians and horse-driving carriages. Several figures without any concealment passed by the sky from time to time, and a terrifying aura filled the sky above the city.
"This is……"
The old man stood beside him and said lightly: "In the early morning, the Imperial Special Operations Department clashed with the Glorious Church. With the addition of third-party forces, the conflict eventually turned into a chaotic war, and the situation was completely chaotic."
"And this third-party force is an extraordinary civilian force headed by the Jingmo Society."
"The current situation has exceeded the control of the Imperial Special Operations Department, but it is very likely that the church wants to see."
"Attacking thirteen civilian superpowers at the same time in Norbeck's stronghold is enough to prove that what the church wants is chaos!"
"The Imperial Special Operations Department wants order, the church wants chaos, and the extraordinary civil forces are revenge."
"Sistine, do you think that the extraordinary civil forces and the Imperial Special Operations Department can defeat a son of the Glorious Church in this war?"
He suddenly turned his head, looked at the young man with a little confused look, and asked with a smile.
Sistine looked at the chaos outside the window and was silent for a long time before asking softly:
"Is it my arrival to the root of all this chaos?"
The old man narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, and a faint look of disappointment passed by.
The time was still too short, and his old friend Resa did not complete the last lesson for the disciple.
Then let yourself do it.
He patted Sistine on the shoulder and said lightly:
"What do you want me to say?"
"Tell you that you are thinking too much. In fact, the conflicts and conflicts accumulated between the three forces have reached a critical point in recent years and may break out at any time. This is just a normal evolution, and it is also because the ambition of the church has reached its peak again?"
"Sorry, Sistine, I can say that, but the direct source of this chaos is indeed your arrival."
"Although all the above are facts, your appearance is indeed one of the sources of all chaos!"
"But is this important, Sistine?"
"Will there be no next 'Sistine' without you?"
Meilin shook her head and looked at the black smoke rising from afar, and said with a heavy voice:
"If you are still obsessed with whether you are the source of disaster, then Reza's sacrifice will be meaningless!"
Sistine said in a hoarse voice: "Why, you seem to know everything?"
Meilin said lightly: "Because I am Meilin, fate has chosen me and let me witness everything."
Sistine suddenly said excitedly:
"Then have you predicted all this long ago? But why don't you spread the news! No one in your identity will ignore any of your words!"
"And the teacher! Have you predicted the teacher's death long ago?!"
Mei Lin looked at him intently, and in those vicissitudes of life and death, and time were indifferent.
"No one can avoid death all the time, and I am not omnipotent. All results come from the initial choice, and the trajectory of fate often moves the whole body. We dare not bet, so in this choice, Resa and I chose to keep you alive."
Sistine's eyes widened, and the negative emotions that had been suppressed in her heart suddenly turned into anger. This anger came inexplicably, and he didn't even know who to be angry with.
Is it for yourself?
Or is it the old man in front of you or the teacher?
But this is all unreasonable!
He wanted to roar, but he didn't know who he should roar to. He could only grasp the window ridge with his hands like an incompetent person, and his whole body was trembling weakly.
The teacher chose to sacrifice himself to protect him and escape...
And in the battle not long ago, Jon also chose this...
The great prophet in front of him chose the option that was not right or wrong among countless choices, just to make himself survive!
What kind of role do you play in this war? Is it all worth it?
"What do you... want me to do, and what do you do?"
Sistine asked exhaustedly.
When everything came to silence, Sistine knew very clearly that it was by no means without reason.
He originally thought that the teacher's sacrifice was to send the soul-cleaning stone out, but this person's confession completely changed his mind.
Whether it is the teacher, the Demon Purification Society, or this great prophet, what they really care about is his Sistine himself!
But what is the virtue of Sistine? Can so many people pay attention to it?
Sistine said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Do you want me to be the savior and truly end the war between the three forces?"
Merlin's eyes were deep, and he ignored Sistine's self-deprecating ridicule. He just nodded quietly and admitted it with great confidence.
"Correction, it's not a savior. Although that's OK, Reza and I don't want you to be the so-called savior. We just hope you can stand in the right place!"
“The right place?”
Meilin looked solemn and said in a firm tone:
“The right place!”
"As the only remaining sermon body in the world, no matter which force you choose to invest in, you can reach the peak and influence the overall situation alone!"
"We all hope that you can stand in the right place if you can influence the world pattern!"
Sistine did not ask what the sermon body was, nor did he question what the old man was talking about.
He was just like a lost direction seeker, looking at the legendary great prophet master extremely seriously. The unscrupulous bastard whom the teacher often mentioned, and asked softly: "Where is the right place?"
He suddenly couldn't find his direction.
The old man opened his eyes wide and paused, as if he was responding to the confused young man in the road ahead, and told him the truth of this world!
"Where all nations stand, the place where stars shine!"
"No matter who is in charge of this empire, there is an eternal truth, that is, only the people are the foundation of the world and the root of immortality!"
"Those who do not fear the king's power, disrespect the gods, and protect all the people with their own strength are the Knight of the Night!"
"What you want to be loyal and respect is not the imperial royal family, nor the church of gods, but the unswerving justice in your heart and the stars above your head!"
"The stars will watch you head to the end of justice!"
"And this is the road to the Night Knight!"
