Chapter 574: May your soul rest in the homeland of the kingdom
"Have you met those Knights of the Old King?"
"No...when I met them, they wanted to draw their swords and chop me on the spot."
Yegers frowned. He stared at Lu Qing for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the reason they won't attack you is because of your identity?"
Yegers seemed to have thought of something, and inspiration quickly burst out in his mind, and many things that he could not figure out before were instantly connected.
"Ah, I know!" Jaegers suddenly raised his head and said.
"Ah! What do you know?" Ling said, being startled by Yegers.
"I had secretly observed those guys from the Knights of the Old King before. At that time, I mainly wanted to record their patrol routes, but I accidentally discovered a lot of strange things."
"When I first came to the old royal capital, I went to the cathedral and found some city defense information about the city, including some of the patrol routes of the kingdom's knights in emergencies."
"After I observed the Knights of the Old King for several days, I discovered that their patrol route was exactly the same as the route map I found at that time."
As Yegers spoke, he rummaged through the garbage beside him and soon found a broken city defense route map at the bottom of the garbage.
"The resentful spirits will carry out their activities according to their habits during their lifetime. I knew this, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." Yegers continued:
"Besides the patrol route, there are some things that concern me more, that is, these ghosts of the Knights of the Old King will not attack the rotting corpses and skeleton soldiers on the streets, but they will attack the flesh and blood giants."
"I have never been able to figure out the reason for this. It wasn't until you told me that they would burn the flesh and blood giants together that I thought of Fan Husi's law."
"It's not really a law, it's just a way of dealing with it. Those people or things that have been polluted by the void will be burned with flames in the wide square, under the illumination of the holy tree and the sun."
"Those resentful spirits of the Knights of the Old King are still carrying out their orders during their lifetimes. This must be the case!" Jaegers said with a somewhat excited expression: "The reason why they will not attack skeletons and corpses, but will attack outsiders...
....."
"Probably because the skeletons and corpses are contaminated with the breath of the king and queen. The resentful spirits have a completely different perception system from us. They may know the breath of the king and queen after they transform into resentful souls and remember it.
Come down."
"And I, an outsider, and the flesh and blood giants are also part of the group that disturbs the stability of the city, so I am attacked by them."
"The reason why you will not be attacked is also very simple, because they know that you are the princess who protects everyone."
"Do you mean that the resentful spirits of the Knights of the Old King still have their own consciousness?" After listening to Yeges' words, Lu Qing thought for a while and asked.
"That's not the case." Jaegers shook his head and said, "Wraiths will not have a clear consciousness. Normal wraiths will act completely without rules, and will even attack any living person they see."
"Wraiths who act according to the rules... To be honest, I don't know, but what they do is definitely not done after thinking, but... it's like it was planned long ago.
Same thing." Jaegers paused slightly, searching for the right wording in his mind.
"Like a program?" Lu Qing heard what the other party meant clearly.
"Procedure?" This time it was Jaegers' turn to be confused.
Without answering Yegers' question, Lu Qing seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly: "But there are too many vengeful spirits in the Knights of the Old King. Will so many vengeful spirits act according to the same set of rules?"
"I actually have a guess about this..." After hearing Lu Qing's words, Yegers put the questions about the procedure behind him and said: "Remember what I told you, the old
Will the living people killed by the King's Knights also become one of them?"
"Didn't you mean becoming a part of them?" Lu Qing said with a strange expression. At that time, she thought she would be swallowed up or something, but she didn't expect that she would become a member of the Knights of the Old King.
"Well, you just need to understand what I mean now." A look of embarrassment appeared on Yegers' face, and he said, "I suspect that there is actually only one resentful spirit in the Knights of the Old King."
"Only one?" Lu Qing was not very stupid and understood the meaning of Yegers' words instantly.
"There are so many vengeful spirits in the Knights of the Old King, but they are all controlled by the same vengeful spirit?"
"That's right." Yegers nodded, then thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "And I probably know his location, do you want it?"
.......
"It's right there." Yegers was lying on the second floor of a building whose roof had collapsed, pointing to the figure standing in front of a deep pit in the distance.
"This is what I accidentally discovered when I was exploring the old capital. That guy has been standing there since I came to the old capital. He is wearing the knight armor of Fan Husi, but he will not be like the other knights of the old capital.
Patrol together."
"How could..." Lu Qing looked at the figure standing in front of the pit in the distance in surprise. She knew the resentful spirit.
Knight Salo, the young knight who once competed with her in swordsmanship and lost to her in the end. They had witnessed the death of the Pope together. Lu Qing did not expect that she would see him here, still in this form.
.
"Do you know him?" Jaegers said somewhat unexpectedly.
It is normal for Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Royal Capital to meet a knight from the Royal Capital. However, the knight happened to have turned into a wraith, so it would be too much of a coincidence to meet him fifty years later.
"I know you." Lu Qing nodded lightly.
"Well... In that case, I won't interrupt you to reminisce about the past and go back to study the flesh and blood giant first." Yegers stood up slowly and walked towards the outside of the building.
He came here just to lead the way. At this time, the road has been led and it is time for him to go back.
As for the location of the train station and repairing the train engine, we can wait until Her Royal Highness has finished what she has to do.
"Huh...is it a coincidence...not necessarily." Lu Qing took a long breath, looked at the text on the dream message, and shook her head.
The coincidence is not necessarily a coincidence, it may be a script specially arranged by others. If the person who arranged the script is far beyond the imagination of mortal creatures, then the name of the script will be changed to a more pleasant title.
The gears of fate may have been spinning slowly from the moment she crossed over.
Lu Qing didn't know why she recalled this. She slowly took out a wooden board that had been processed long ago, recalled the face of Knight Salo, and carved it.
"This is the mask I gave you. May your soul rest in peace..." After a pause, Lu Qing recalled the rotten sacred tree, and then recalled the old man who still faithfully carried out his orders after death.
King's Knights.
"May your soul rest in peace in the homeland of the Kingdom." She said.
