This time, the firelight directly illuminated the entire Lord's night sky.
The billowing smoke obscured the stars and moon.
People watched all this with fear and anxiety.
Then——
"Ahhh!"
A sharp scream suddenly sounded, coming from the edge of the city.
Then, more screams came.
"Ahhh!"
"do not come!"
"Monster! Monster!"
The screams one after another quickly spread from the edge of the city to the city center.
Pea Street, street corner.
Jason saw the explosion, and after hearing Bundy's explanation that it was a military camp, his expression changed. At this time, it was even more difficult to see the explosion.
He heard that scream.
As his nostrils twitched, he could smell a faint odor.
That's the unique stench after a corpse has decomposed.
There is no doubt that these corpses should be those that disappeared.
When the old knight was assassinated, the military camp was destroyed, and the two biggest forces protecting Lord disappeared, it was when these disappeared corpses reappeared.
Destroy all of Lorde!
Or there is some other purpose.
Jason is currently unknown.
But he knew that the layout of this 'organization' was like a spider web!
Although he slightly undermines a few of those points.
but,
The entire cobweb is still there.
And now...
The other party is ready to close the net!
Looking at Taniel who had completed the temporary treatment, Jason said without hesitation:
"Go to 10 Pea Street!"
"Bring the explosives."
If possible, Jason would never enter Pea Street again.
Even with the cleaning up by the old jazz, it is the same.
because……
There had been a force here that he could not resist.
But now, he has no choice.
He was exposed, helpless, facing the swarm of corpses.
Or choose a house with a solid main structure as a defense.
After thinking for a while, Jason had the answer.
Bundy, Finch and the other twenty people had no objections.
After helping Taniel lift the old knight onto the flatbed truck containing explosives, the group approached Pea Street.
Jason was the first to enter. With his perception that was more than twice that of an ordinary person, he quickly confirmed that there was no danger here for the time being, and waved behind him.
Everyone immediately entered Pea Street.
Standing in front of the gate of No. 10 Pea Street, Jason looked at the tightly fitting fence gate and the main building door. He did not break in directly, but followed the rhythm of Tanier's memory, pulling once slowly and twice faster.
, pulling the old-fashioned doorbell twice in a row.
pity……
The fence gate and the door of the main building were not opened.
"Has it been destroyed?"
Jason sighed inwardly.
He knew very well what such destruction represented.
No. 10 Pea Street, should...
There is no one left alive.
In fact, this is also the case.
When a group of people entered the main building, they saw Eric sitting on the ground with his back against the wall.
The middle-aged servant of the old knight had his eyes wide open, his jaw opened and closed at an exaggerated degree, his tongue was missing, and his blood-stained hands hung helplessly at his sides.
Looking at Eric's body, everyone was silent for a while.
I guessed the result, but when I saw it, it was still hard to accept.
"Bundy, please arrange for two people to go to the roof and stare around."
"The remaining men searched for the body."
"The bodies to be found..."
"Burn them all."
Jason lowered his head slightly for a moment and then said.
"Burn it?"
"Understood!"
Bundy clicked his hat and immediately led a team of people into action.
Suddenly, everyone took action.
Only Jason and Taniel, who were taking care of the old knight, were left in the hall.
Taniel poured another potion on the wound of the old knight. After carefully observing the wound, the young teacher of Deer Academy could not help but sigh in his heart.
The wound didn't get any better.
On the contrary, it continues to get worse.
According to the current situation, the old jazz man may not be able to survive until dawn.
"A good man like Sir Beta."
"It shouldn't have ended like this."
Leaning weakly on the wheel of the cart, Taniel muttered to himself.
Jason didn't answer.
Or……
He didn't know how to answer.
He doesn't even know much about this place.
To the humanity here.
about the geography here.
To the local customs here.
To the power here.
He doesn't even understand.
What he did was just to survive.
This is what happened when I took office as the 'Night Watchman'.
This is what happens when you take office as a 'gravekeeper'.
He was like a blind man crossing a river, constantly touching the stones in front of him, always trying to grab the biggest and most stable one, but the further he moved forward, the more turbulent the river became.
If he is not careful, he will be submerged in the river.
And now?
The river is not only fast.
Under the river, there are countless monsters lurking.
"What are you confused about?"
A sudden voice sounded from behind.
Not Taniel.
It's old Sir.
The seriously injured old knight woke up. He leaned on the explosive box, pushed away Taniel's support, struggled to sit up, and then looked at the man who turned around with a smile and remained silent.
Jason.
After watching Jason look like this for a few seconds, the old jazz man smiled even brighter.
"You are just like your teacher."
"That Dan."
"When I first came into contact with 'that kind of power', I was just as uneasy and confused as you."
"Like you..."
"I didn't think about how to admit defeat."
"yes."
"How could the 'Night Watch' admit defeat?"
The old knight said, his expression full of memories.
Under the messy white hair, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
The old jazz just stepped off the cart.
He stood upright in front of Jason.
"I have something for you."
"follow me."
After saying that, the old knight turned around and walked underground.
But when passing by his servant Eric, the old knight paused.
He raised his hand and closed the servant's wide eyes.
He also wanted to close the servant's jaw.
I tried several times without success.
"Sir, let me help you."
Taniel secured Eric's corpse's jaw with a bandage.
"Thank you, Taniel."
"If this house could still exist."
"I'll leave it to you."
The old knight said and continued walking underground.
After Jason hesitated for a moment, he took steps to follow.
In the underground hall, inside the tent.
The starlight has long dimmed.
The tables and chairs are even more messy.
The old knight raised his hand and picked off the brightest star.
"It's called 'Xingyao', and I gave it to you."
"and this……"
"You need it."
The old jazz man walked to an empty place and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a thick book appeared in his hand.
He handed it to Jason along with the 'Xingyao'.
Jason didn't take it, but just looked at the old jazz man in front of him silently.
"Do not worry."
"I'm not letting you get it for free."
"How about we make a deal?"
The old knight asked with a smile.
"What deal?"
Jason finally spoke this time.
The voice is slightly hoarse.
"Help me put on my armor."
The old knight pointed to the other side. In the empty place, a set of full-body armor and a knight's spear appeared again.
"good."
Jason nodded.
He said he was helping to put on the armor. In fact, the old knight pulled out the dagger stuck in his abdomen, threw it on the ground, and then put it on himself. Jason just stood there holding the knight's spear.
The old knight, who had finished wearing all his clothes, slowly put on his helmet.
He took the spear.
A loud voice sounded from behind the visor——
"humble!"
"mercy!"
"just!"
"heroic!"
"honest!"
"glory!"
"sacrifice!"
When the first word sounded, a white light appeared on the old jazz's body.
With every word spoken, the brilliance becomes brighter.
When the word 'sacrifice' was uttered, this brilliance turned into reality.
The next moment, it was even louder, like a thunderous sound that resounded across the sky in brilliance.
"Knight, born to die——"
"charge!"
In an instant, a figure composed entirely of light broke through the sky.
Only left,
The old knight was wearing armor and holding his spear high.
Jason looked at the old jazz man in front of him quietly.
