The Golden Wilderness is noisier at night than during the day, especially when a light rain falls in the evening, which speeds up the flow of rivers along the way and makes both sides of the road muddy.
But now, the rain has stopped, and many creatures that are only active at night have begun to crawl out of the caves, absorb water from the mud pits and rivers, and start their own foraging and hunting.
The Guta Basin, located in the Golden Fields and close to the Nine-Xuan Abyss, has a geological landscape that is very different from other areas in the Golden Fields. Its soil layer is quite thin, and dark gray rock blocks can be seen protruding from the soil layer from time to time.
, and layers of rock plants grew and grew from the cracks in these rocks, forming patches of stone forests standing on the rock formations.
Chris, the magneto-optical knight, doesn't like this kind of environment. He's good at manipulating metal and interfering with the operation of precision instruments. He has no fear even against armored men and armors with bare hands.
His greatest expertise is fighting in battle formations and cities - the enemy's swords will become his swords, and the surrounding buildings and equipment will become his ammunition.
"He is indeed related to the Dragon Worship Cult and is very familiar with him...at least you didn't lie to me about this."
On the other side, Knight Zifeng narrowed his eyes tightly and stared at the firelight in the stone forest in the distance: "I recognize one of those two mountain people. He is an important member of the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult, and he often appears with Manya.
"
"His appearance is very similar to Anfa. I originally thought it was a deception. Now that I think about it, the connection between them is closer than I thought. Otherwise, Anfa would not have been able to bring important things alone."
Magneto doesn't care about the feud between Canaan Moore and the Dragon Cult. His goal is only the young knight at the bonfire.
Someone who is very likely to know the real reason for Night Snake's death.
He met Ye Snake twenty years ago.
At that time, Magneto was not Magneto, but a newly promoted Chinese who defended the Knights, a future star who was sent to the imperial capital for professional training.
There, he met Night Snake, a genius biological alchemist who was three years younger than him.
At that time, the two did not have much close friendship until thirteen years later.
Thirteen years later, Magneto has become the second level, the leader of the Defending Knights, and one of the strongest sublime forces under the Marquis.
But compared to the young knight who was full of confidence and full of expectations for the future, he has lost most of his enthusiasm for struggle now.
Whether it is to become stronger or to advance further in his position, he has no hope... But in fact, this is not important. After all, the third level is extremely rare. In addition to talent, it also depends on the individual's soul.
Transformation, and working for the Marquis of Barton, repaying him for his kindness, is what he is more than willing to do.
He just doubted whether he could only do this in his life.
Will he be able to spend his whole life just wandering around the Nanling Mountains, suppressing some rebellious mountain natives, exterminating some crazy monsters and aliens, and battling wits and courage with spies and cults from all over the world?
Magneto is unwilling to give in.
He wants to become a hero, a legend that can be praised in future generations, not just an ordinary knight leader like a firefighter under the Marquis of Barton.
He feels that he is special. Since he has the talent and opportunity to become an ascendant, why can't he do it...
What about doing something ‘big’?
He wants to do big things.
No matter what big event it is. He wants to be able to leave his name in history and be like the first knight of the Black King in the past. Even if he disappears for decades, everyone will involuntarily get excited and slow down when his name is mentioned.
The kind of person whose voice shows awe.
But he never found such an opportunity.
Until one day, he also met two people in this golden field.
One of them is Night Snake.
And the other person... was the person who changed his life for the rest of his life.
[Chris...your desire is not big, but it is very pure - you want to be famous and be admired and envied by others. Everyone thinks so, and there is no need to be ashamed]
[It's just that you don't have that chance... Under Barton's command, you don't have the chance to become a better person... to show your true potential]
[Look, Chris. There are always endless evils in this land. The nobles are singing and dancing, the people are short of food and clothing, there are foreign enemies looking at you, and there are various ministries with evil intentions inside... Since the death of my grandfather, the once prosperous empire has declined.
What it looks like now, and my father barely managed to hold on to the border, but that was all, and he gradually fell into madness]
[This is sin. People cannot understand each other. The nobles do not understand the pain of the common people, and the common people do not understand the uneasiness of the sublime. Everyone can only think of their own interests, so there will be conflicts and wars.
, bullying, oppression and exploitation】
[The minds of all people are in a mess, and countless purposes are intertwined to map out this world full of pain. Only by sorting out all these thoughts and interests can the chaotic threads be unified and pointed in one direction]
【True happiness can come】
[I want to change this country, change this land...but before that, Chris]
【I need your strength】
A kind of magic.
A kind of magic that confuses people's hearts.
Maybe it's a kind of spiritual power, or maybe it's just a matter of words?
That night, they talked a lot.
Dissatisfaction with the existing system, confusion about the suffering that is happening in this land, and boredom and hatred for a world that has remained unchanged for decades.
They are all the same. Whether it is Magneto Guang himself, Night Snake, or even His Highness, it is the same.
After just one night of long talk, the Magnet Knight made up his mind to truly be loyal to His Highness.
Are all things united? Do all living beings understand each other?
No, no, no, this is not his purpose, this is not his desire.
He just understood that His Highness's ideals and goals were far greater and more meaningful than the sum total of all the things he wanted to do now.
In this vast possibility, Magneto was excited, trembling, and his whole body was shaking.
Amidst the fear, he also felt an unprecedented desire.
If I could become a part of His Highness’s power and become a member of His Highness’s ‘big cause’.
perhaps……
He can become the legend he wants to be in the future and be praised by everyone.
Be part of the legend of the future.
[Ye Snake is a member of the Lingzhi Academy and has considerable talents, but he is bullied by the bachelors within the Lingzhi Academy. There has been no change for many years]
[He will be your future colleague in Nanling - you two seemed to know each other back then? Remember to get along well, your cooperation will release a force far more powerful than yourselves alone]
[We all have the same dream and the same belief, this is the source of our strength]
The magneto-optical light gradually retrieves the memory.
He closed his eyes, then opened them again, staring in the direction of Ian.
Ye Snake's death not only meant that one arm of the organization in Nanling was cut off, but also affected His Highness's plan - the Nanling branch of the Lingzhi Academy that Ye Snake was responsible for contained many technologies that were very important to the organization.
, although those technologies originated from bloody human experiments, these are sacrifices that must be made for major events.
Besides, it's not what they want to do. That's what the Lingzhiyuan itself insists on doing, and they are just watching.
"etc."
Suddenly, the Purple Maple Knight frowned slightly. She raised her hand and issued a warning: "There seems to be no life in the stone forest in front?!"
"The guide knight is missing?"
Magnet suddenly woke up, and he suddenly realized that something was very wrong with his situation just now.
He was disturbed by some external force and fell into memories, wasting too much time.
"We're exposed!"
Standing up, the Magnetic Light Knight looked around - and sure enough, he saw many scattered 'Worry Stone Mines' scattered around the stone forest!
This natural psychic ore can induce people to fall into the memory fragments that have the deepest impression on him and have the greatest impression on him, and fall into worry and worry, hence the name - and just at the edge of the golden field, there is a place of worry.
Stone mine!
As an alchemist, how could the Guide Knight not buy it?
It was these things that inadvertently made Magneto, who had planned to attack directly, fall into memories, wasting an excellent attack opportunity!
Could it be said that at that time, the guide knight already knew that someone was following him behind his back, so he purchased these minerals as a trap?
Without enough time to think about it, the Magnet Knight raised his hand, and the countless pitch-black magnetic sand on his armor began to rotate rapidly in the flashes of arc lightning, stirring the surrounding atmosphere and forming a sand-iron wind with his arm as the core.
column.
And the next moment, the lightning flashed, and the tiny iron sand was stimulated by the high-speed lightning and shot out, carrying a large number of sparks that shot out in the air, towards the direction where the guide knight was before, the stone forest.
The firelight rushes away!
Hundreds of arcs of fire intertwined together, turning into destructive power beyond that of alchemical artillery, bombarding the bonfire with a shrill roar that ripped through the atmosphere.
Boom! In an instant, there was a violent explosion in the stone forest. Countless iron sand splashed across it, carrying subtle magnetism and electricity. Even if someone was hiding in the corner of the stone forest, it was impossible to hide.
However, his attack completely failed.
Because at this moment, from the sky, there came a voice that was extremely unfamiliar to them, but they instinctively felt the crisis.
Zhi——collapse!

Something happened yesterday. I was very tired after working all day. I really couldn’t write the third chapter...
But just in time, tomorrow we will completely eliminate all the enemies in Nanling and set off to the Imperial Capital to start a new chapter!
