In the spacious and bright castle hall of Fort Ferro, when the white knight said this, whether it was Lei Xiao, Hodder, Benson, Ariel, Sarah and other subordinates, they all had expressions of sigh on their faces.
As the former guardian of the Kingdom of Loren, the White Knight chose to reach an agreement with an unspeakable creature in order to protect it, in exchange for the opportunity to continue fighting for the Kingdom of Loren.
However, when the White Knight woke up again, everything had turned into scorched earth.
The reborn knight returns, but the kingdom is long gone.
This feeling of missing out on everything is really sad.
"Judging from the situation at that time, the Kingdom of Loren is doomed. Even if the White Knight returns to the battlefield in time, nothing will be changed. The only way to end is destruction."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn as he thought in his heart.
"From this perspective, it may be a blessing. After all, the White Knight survived in the end."
"Of course, I'm afraid the white knights at that time would rather be buried in history together with the Kingdom of Loren than wander around this land alone."
Looking at the white knight who had once again covered his face with his helmet, Lei Xiao's eyes showed a little more emotion.
Although this experience is described lightly, he must have suffered for a long time after losing his hometown.
After sighing, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and asked again: "White Knight, are you saying that when you wake up again, more than five hundred years have passed since the battle to destroy the country?"
"Yes, Lord, because the Alliance army burned everything before leaving, and the war lasted for more than three hundred years, no one even knows the ruins of the capital city of Loren."
The white knight took a slow and deep breath, obviously trying his best to adjust his emotions: "Although I don't know why, I thought I was just sleeping for a while, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, I was already in a world of change."
"After arriving at Blue Cold Castle for the first time, my subordinates stayed there anonymously for nearly a year. Only then did I fully understand the world five hundred years from now."
"It turns out that after the Alliance forces destroyed the Kingdom of Loren, internal strife broke out and they continued to conquer each other, causing the wailing of the earth to continue, with the flames of war and blood dyeing everything red."
At this point, the white knight's sad voice became filled with an uncontrollable joy: "Although my subordinates have not figured out the reason until today, what is gratifying is that those plunderers have obtained
The due judgment of fate.”
"Actually, the reason for the matter is very simple. It's all thanks to His Majesty the Knight King's words: "I've already given you everything, so why are you so aggressive?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and recounted the conversation between himself and old Luo Yin when Sarah accepted the inheritance some time ago.
The White Knight, who was once the guardian of the Loren royal family, already knew about the existence of the [God's Stone], so Lei Xiao already understood everything without having to explain it too much.
"So it turns out that it was His Majesty's words before he died in battle that made the other parties suspicious of each other, and thus started the troubled times that lasted for more than three hundred years?"
The white knight nodded suddenly and said with emotion: "Those predators were eventually destroyed in the hands of their own desires. They must have tasted the feeling of regret before they died."
After a pause, the white knight added: "It's a pity that I didn't witness their destruction with my own eyes. I only saw the last heroic appearance of His Majesty the Hero King."
"Mr. White Knight, have you ever met my ancestor, His Majesty the Hero King?"
Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she said with an excited look on her face.
"That's right. Your Royal Highness, the time when I woke up was the last period of His Majesty the Hero King's rule over the Cold Flame Kingdom."
The white knight caressed Ariel's chest and saluted, and responded: "During the year when my subordinate stayed at Blue Cold Castle, I was initially at a loss and gradually understood everything about that period of time."
"I learned that it was this great heroic King who led his powerful legions such as the Terrain Dragon Knights and the Half-Elf Archers to end the war with war, and finally ended the chaos in this land and established the powerful Lengyan
kingdom."
"Furthermore, His Majesty the King of Heroes completely abolished the serfdom system, which shocked other surrounding countries, allowing the Kingdom of Cold Flame to finally stabilize on this land and become one of the seven human kingdoms."
There was a touch of reverence in the white knight's voice, but then he shook his head helplessly.
"It is a pity that even though His Majesty the Hero King at that time was already old, he still fought in all directions in an attempt to unite the human kingdoms into one, but he still failed and finally died with regret."
After hearing what the white knight said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
This is exactly consistent with what Wang Xi said at the place where the ancestors slept in Luolong City.
At that time, Wang Xi, with the blessing of his prompting talent, had reached the peak level of the fifth level and was considered the strongest Leng Yan Monarch in history.
But after all, his lifespan was limited. After ruling the Cold Flame Kingdom for more than a hundred years, he finally died and was secretly buried in the sleeping place of his ancestors in Luolong City, ending his glorious life as a time traveler.
"After understanding everything about that era, I started a new journey, secretly searching for the descendants of the Loren royal family, but unfortunately I found nothing."
"It wasn't until ten years passed that my subordinates were surprised to find that they did not age and recovered from their injuries very quickly."
"But correspondingly, the subordinate's strength is also completely imprisoned at the fifth level and three stars. It is impossible to improve even a little bit more. It is as if time has stagnated only in the subordinate's body."
"However, things are far from that simple."
The white knight's voice was full of solemnity as he continued: "Not long after, my subordinate further discovered that the dark blue crystal stone on his forehead began to gradually spread quietly on his face."
"In the beginning, the subordinates only needed to cover their foreheads with a turban, but as time went by, the subordinates changed from turbans to hoods, until they had to disguise themselves as mercenaries and wear helmets to cover their faces.
"
"In just a hundred years, this strange dark blue crystal has covered my subordinate's cheeks."
The white knight's voice gradually began to tremble again.
"At the beginning, my subordinates tried countless methods to remove or even destroy the crystal, but in the end they all ended in failure, and they had no choice but to let it grow wildly day by day."
"The feeling of being gradually eroded by unknown things, but unable to do anything about it, often causes subordinates to wake up from nightmares."
"In the nightmare, the indescribable eyeball-shaped object has been hovering above the sleeping subordinate's head, reminding the subordinate again and again of the fear of falling into the endless abyss."
"But after waking up, I saw in the mirror that my face was covered with crystal clusters. It became more and more weird and stiff, and it even glowed slightly with a blue light. This made me think that this was another nightmare that I would never be able to overcome.
wake up."
"Those hard crystal stones were used unscrupulously on the subordinate's face, not only scratching the subordinate's fingers, but also piercing the subordinate's heart."
The white knight shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
After hearing what the white knight said, Lei Xiao's mind had already imagined the silence in the bedroom in the middle of the night.
But the white knight was suddenly awakened by the nightmare, sitting up from the bed like a bullet, and then slowly picked up the mirror.
What was reflected in the hazy mirror was not only the shockingly weird face, but also the helpless and desperate eyes of the white knight.
"But even though these crystals grew wantonly, apart from their appearance and nightmares, they did not have any impact on the subordinates. In the end, the subordinates gradually got used to it."
The white knight spoke lightly, but he was probably the only one who knew the pain and fear of facing the unknown eyeballs time and time again.
"Until three hundred years ago, the dark blue crystal clusters on the subordinate's face completely stopped growing and settled into what they look like today."
When the white knight said this, there was a hint of regret in his voice.
"Even so, I still haven't backed down a step. The only thing I regret is one thing."
"That's how time goes by. My subordinates changed identities one after another and traveled through most of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Every place I go to, I stay for a long time, get to know everything about the place in depth, and dig out information about the reclusive and anonymous people, but I still haven't gotten any clues about the descendants of the Loren royal family."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao and Sara looked at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.
Through Sarah's previous introduction, Lei Xiao already knew.
After the destruction of the Kingdom of Loren, Sarah's ancestors escaped from the palace and wandered all the way until they settled in the Canlan Federation, the easternmost part of the human kingdoms, and later moved to Yehe Town in the Holy Night Kingdom.
No matter where it is, it is not within the Kingdom of Cold Flame, so it’s no wonder that the White Knight can’t find any clues.
"An extremely long period of more than two hundred years has passed, and my subordinates have traveled through all the cities, rivers and mountains of the Cold Flame Kingdom, exploring every secret ruin and possible secluded place, but still found nothing."
"Just when my subordinates were frustrated and didn't know what to do, they accidentally met His Majesty the King of Steel who was out hunting."
"During my time in the Lengyan Kingdom, I have witnessed with my own eyes the rule of the Lengyan monarchs of all generations, and also witnessed the cycle of strength, decline, and re-emergence of the Lengyan Kingdom."
"Following the Hero King, there are Saint Queen Sophia, Wise King Abner, Rose King Esther, Lion Roar King Alfred and many other wise monarchs."
"There are also less wise monarchs such as the Landless King, the Long-Legged King, and the Crazy King. Their reigns were mixed, and they even only lasted for a few days before they died unfortunately."
"His Majesty Burdett, the steel-armed king, belongs to the former. He not only successfully conquered the entire northern territory, but also made the Leng Yan Kingdom, which had become extremely decadent, at least improve on the surface. This was something that previous generations of Leng Yan monarchs could not do.
Great work accomplished.”
There was a touch of reverence in the white knight's voice.
"It was precisely because of the chance encounter with His Majesty the King of Steel Wrists and the promise from His Majesty the King of Steel Wrists to help find the descendants of the Loren royal family that I decided to hold on to my lance again and fight for this land again."
"But the once all-powerful King of Steel, his burly body could not withstand the erosion of time after all, and he began to become hunched over, until he finally became like this, causing the Cold Flame Kingdom to once again fall into war and chaos.
among.”
The white knight sighed secretly, and then saluted Lei Xiao, stroking his chest and saying, "Lord, this is my subordinate's past."
After listening to the white knight's words, there was silence in the hall.
Everyone seems to have touched the long river of history that has been gathered over thousands of years, and savors its magnificence and endless cycles.
At the same time, I also feel the unknown and curiosity brought by the mysterious blue crystals that are still covered on the white knight's face.
After a while, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, and then said with firm eyes: "White Knight, don't worry, one day I will help you figure out the secret of the dark blue crystal, and by then, everything will be revealed."
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
The white knight's voice was full of excitement. He knelt down on one knee and performed a standard knightly salute to Lei Xiao: "I believe that if you are the lord, you will be able to figure out the mystery!"
"I will do my best."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, leaned down and helped the other person up.
At this point, the current situation could not be more obvious.
It is precisely because of this mysterious dark blue crystal that the White Knight not only has a lifespan that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but also has a greatly increased recovery power.
The reason why the white knight was not killed in the previous fatal sneak attack by the man in black robe No. 7 is probably because of this reason.
"It is not difficult to tell from the white knight's words that these crystals are part of the unknown creature."
"As for whether this is a sequelae left behind by healing the body, or there is another mystery behind it, it is currently unknown."
"But what is certain is that this is the price itself that the white knight reached an agreement with the unknown creature and agreed to pay the price."
"Perhaps this can be an opportunity to help me understand the secret behind the unknown creature more quickly."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, for me at the moment, it's too early to think about these things. I'd better lead my subordinates to continue with the next matters."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao waved his hand and smiled at the subordinates who were still immersed in the description of the white knight: "Okay, the past is over after all, and now, the sumptuous celebration banquet has begun. There is no need to be restrained tonight, let's go.
Just open your belly and feast."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
All the subordinates saluted together and spoke in unison.
Among them, especially the reunited foodie trio Chao Yan, Bai Wei and Hong Ye, their rosy fair faces were full of excitement. It was impossible to tell that they had followed Lei Xiao all over the place to eat a lot.
Already.
Later, Lei Xiao and Ariel delivered routine speeches at the huge celebration banquet in Fort Ferro, which further improved the morale of the soldiers.
And the various commendations given by Lei Xiaohao, who spent a lot of money, made the soldiers' eyes shine brightly, and they all looked like they were gearing up, and they wanted to go and kill all the soldiers right away.
It wasn't until nightfall that Lei Xiao returned to the territory with his main subordinates, ending the time of drinking and drinking.
"The next step is to pull Han Shui down from the throne of the family head? It's really exciting."
Lei Xiao was thinking this as he and Ariel walked into the lord's suite.
