Quirrel took off the mask on his head and raised it.
The stream of light bloomed, and I was blinded for a moment.
The mask turned into a point of light and flew into the water tank.
Monomen's figure emerged little by little.
White, pure, ethereal and solemn.
The little knight took a few steps forward, about to wield the Dream Nail to enter Monomon's dream.
Lu Zhengkang stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."
Quiruo gently stroked the bulkhead of the water tank, tapping with his fingers, causing ripples, but did not wake up the sleeping teacher inside.
"I understand." He seemed to have gotten the message he wanted.
Kui Ruo turned around, walked to the corner, sat down, and stared at the water tank with a very relaxed posture. His eyes had long since lost focus.
Lu Zhengkang let go of the little knight and let him enter the teacher's dream.
He walked to Quiruo and sat down with him, watching the little knight fall asleep and falling to the ground, and watching Monomon disappear little by little.
Lu Zhengkang suddenly said: "Friend, will you be sad for my death?"
Kui Ruo forced a smile and said, "Of course, although the encounter is too short, the friendship is too long. I will feel sad for the passing of every friend. However, if you can give me a moment of silence now, that would be better."
Lu Zhengkang stared at the sleeping little knight and said softly: "There is no time, I will go to the abyss, and my destiny will be linked to this kingdom. Although I am just an ordinary insect, what drives me to go down is
The desire for legend, the concern for honor, the love for life, and the persistence in fighting are in my heart. No matter how hard it is to recall my past, I can only do what I have always wanted to do."
"You are not an ordinary insect, you are a rare warrior. If the king were still here, he would definitely make you a knight."
"The story of the king and the knight has disappeared into smoke, but there are still lives for those who will come after you. Queruo, promise me, never give up on life."
Kui Ruo murmured: "I have seen this world twice, but my mission may have made me forget the feeling of the first time." He turned to look at Lu Zhengkang, "I'm sorry, my heart is very confused, wait until I find it
I will give you an answer after I calm down."
time flies.
Monomen disappeared completely, and Radiant's will expanded and contracted again. This time, Lu Zhengkang felt stronger and more terrifying.
"Soon..." Lu Zhengkang said to himself.
The little knight woke up and walked to Quello, ready to listen.
"My lady's fire of life has been extinguished, and the seal has been broken. You are facing a heavy task, but I have seen your skills beside you, and she believes that you can do it. Continue the journey
, let me rest for a while. After the task was completed, I felt the weight of the years."
The Knight swung the Dream Nail at him.
Lu Zhengkang stood up and waved to the little knight to leave with him.
The young knight stretched out his hand and pulled Quirrel's arm, but Quirrel did not respond.
"Let's go, let him rest."
They slowly left the archives and when they walked out of the gate, Lu Zhengkang told the little knight: "If you want to know the deeper secrets, you should go to the queen. She will give you inspiration and let you know how to go forward."
The little knight pointed to the archives, meaning what should Quiro do.
"Everyone does his or her part. He has his own way to go. How he chooses is entirely up to him. You go ahead. It's time for me to go to the abyss."
The little knight took a few steps forward, took out an illustrated book from under his cloak, rummaged through it for a while, and then held it up to show Lu Zhengkang.
There is a picture and two paragraphs of text on it.
The picture shows wildly dancing black tentacles.
The text reads: "Void tendrils, sharp tendrils that swing formed by fragments of the void." There is also a note: "The bugs of Hallownest sometimes think about this question: Are there other older strangers deep under their feet?
Kingdom. What a strange fantasy. Maybe that’s why they’re so often distracted and so easy to kill.”
This is a hunter's diary.
Lu Zhengkang patted the young knight on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what to be careful about, take care of yourself. By the way, I have something to trouble you. Kui Ruo may go to the Blue Lake. If you see him when you pass by,
, listen to him to see if he has any idea of ​​going to Ditmouth. If so, then give this stone tablet to the elder bug of Ditmouth." Lu Zhengkang took out the contract signed by Quiruo and handed it to the young knight.
"Okay, goodbye. Maybe next time we meet, we will become the same race." Lu Zhengkang teleported away in a few flashes.
The little knight stared at his back for a long time.
…
There are only three ways to go to the Ancient Basin. One is to take the tram, but the pass was given to the Little Knight. The other is to enter from the City of Tears, which is very roundabout. The last and most convenient way is to take the Antler Bug and go directly to the Palace Square.
, it is in the ancient basin, very close to the abyss.
Of course Lu Zhengkang chose to ride the stag bug.
Arriving at Palace Square Station, the tone here is dark and deep, the architectural style is rough and solemn, the rocks are black, the plants are black, even the bright white metal surfaces are covered with black rust, and there are some silk thread bobbins scattered in the station
, it seems that the forces from Deep Nest also participated in the construction here.
Walking out of the station and coming to the square, the air here is full of black spots. The dome is high and far away. Through the misty air, you can see a little light flickering on the top of the cave. Lu Zhengkang knows that it is not a starry sky, but it still gives people a sense of mystery.
experience.
There used to be a huge palace here, but now it has completely collapsed, leaving only clusters of tusked stone pillars in the main body, and a large piece of the main entrance is broken, leaning and very desolate.
There are some insect corpses in white robes and white faces scattered on the square. They are the White King's ministers and royal retainers.
In front of the gate, there is a guard in white armor leaning slumped. This is the king's puppet, the guard of the white palace, now dead.
Lu Zhengkang walked in a hurry and had no idea of ​​staying to explore.
There is only the last seal left, so you should be anxious, otherwise you might not be able to catch up with the final battle. Wouldn't it be a pity?
Leave the square, enter the ancient basin, go down, and come to the gate of the abyss.
There is a giant stone egg in front of the door with an inscription on it. When you get closer, you can hear faint murmurs coming from the stone egg.
The inscription reads: "Higher beings, these words are only for you.
Our pure vessel has risen.
All that remains is rejection and the regret of creating it.
We will not enter that place again."
Lu Zhengkang entered the abyss.
This place is like a shaft leading straight to hell, dark and bottomless, with the scraping footsteps of shadow crawlers echoing, making it feel a bit colder.
The power of the void fills this place, giving people a sense of fear of being stared at by a greedy beast.
Floating and flying downward, there are stairs, platforms, spikes on the cave wall, weird sculptures on the platform, and various broken masks. There are blue vines growing on a certain platform, and there is a blocked door there.
But that's not Lu Zhengkang's destination.
Chapter completed!
