Ivan dragged his tired body into the room temporarily assigned to him. Kai looked much better and was doing palm pressure on the side.
Ivan said disgustedly, "You are injured and still do such strenuous exercise, aren't you afraid that the wound will open?"
"As long as it doesn't pull the abdomen, it'll be fine." Kai said nonchalantly, "If you don't allow your body to move properly, it will be detrimental to the recovery of the wound."
"It's up to you. If you want to die, I really can't stop you." Ivan muttered.
"Hey, what's going on with this vicious tone? Did you get mad at me because the training didn't go well?" Kai teased.
"I don't want to discuss this with you." Ivan turned his head and looked out the window. At this time, he unexpectedly discovered that the lighthouse in Attenborough was actually dark.
Ivan couldn't help but be surprised: "What's going on? Why doesn't the lighthouse light up? If no one is standing guard, what will happen if the sea monster attacks?"
"Anyway, sea monsters landing on land only happen once in ten years. In this period of civil war, of course we can't worry about so much." Kai said disapprovingly, "By the way, your brother just came to see you and asked you to look for him at night."
Dinner with Grand Duke Younes."
"I've already eaten." Ivan said disdainfully, then walked out of the room and walked in the direction of the lighthouse.
In a farmhouse on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
"Arthur, eating and reading at the same time is not conducive to digestion." Bedivere reminded.
"Oh." Arthur responded casually, then took the bread and stuffed it into his mouth while continuing to study the ancient document.
"It's just an old and broken book. Is it so difficult to understand? It took me several days to read such a small amount of content." Tristan on the side couldn't help but ask.
"If it were written in modern English, things would be much easier to handle. The problem is that there are a lot of words used by the ancient Keltons. Just translating these things would take time." Arthur said, and then he concentrated on
Taking notes on the white paper beside him.
Bedivere sighed: "It's useless to be hasty. At least finish your meal before you get busy, right? It's not worth the gain if you damage your body. In four days, there will be a duel with the Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens. If you don't adjust your condition properly--
----＂
Arthur closed the book and patted the werewolf boy on the head, "Very good. If you don't want to read it, don't read it. I'll take a shower and go to bed. Are you satisfied?"
"But, eating------"
"It's done." Arthur said, and walked out.
Bedivere frowned and wanted to complain, but found that the table full of food had already been swept away.
"when------"
"No! I saved the pudding for last!" Tristan yelled.
At the same time, the Knights of the West.
It was pitch dark in the lighthouse, but Ivan walked effortlessly in this darkness. His eyes did not need a light source to see objects. The visual signals flowed into his eyes through photons, and he could see the night as clearly as the day.
The room where Ivan lived seemed to be abandoned. From the day he left the Knights of the West to now, except for a thin layer of dust, it had not changed at all.
He groped his way to the bedside table and took out a small necklace.
"I knew you were here." Ao Yun's voice sounded outside the door. "Dad asked you to come for dinner, why don't you give me some face?"
"Letting a heavenly knight have dinner with a commoner is not giving him face." Ivan said coldly.
"You talk back every time you say it. I really can't stand you." Ivan's brother walked into the room and sat down. "Is this because of the rebellious period?"
"Owen, have you ever hated me and my mother?" Ivan asked sharply.
"Why do you suddenly ask such a question------"
"------Answer me honestly!" Ivan said.
"Tsk, okay. Yes, I hate your mother. My mother died less than two months ago, and my father went to the city to play with women. It was at that time that he met your prostitute mother. If
It wasn't because of my firm opposition that my father almost brought that woman to the base. In the end, it was me who took the initiative to find the woman, gave her money, and asked her to leave my father."
"But I didn't know that she was pregnant with the child at that time. Dad didn't know either. We didn't know about it until you came to the Knights many years later with that woman's letter."
"In other words, my mother didn't have to be homeless or die from the plague." Ivan continued, "You indirectly killed my mother, right?"
"Yes, you can say that." Owen said bluntly, "In this case, will you also hate me?"
"You haven't answered me yet. You said you hate my mother, but do you also hate me?" Ivan asked. He watched the subtle expression changes on Owen's face in the dark to determine whether the other party was lying.
"This is... a difficult question to answer." Gaia Knight showed a complicated expression, "When I see your face, I will think of that woman. I really can't help but hate you. But hate you? No. You
They are two completely different people from that woman. That woman is dead. What’s the point of continuing to project the hatred for her on you and continuing this hatred?”
"Then why did you always beat me before------"
"------Of course, an idiot will become smarter only if he is beaten more often!" Owen rushed to answer.
Ivan was silent for a while. He didn't know what to say. However, he could vaguely feel that a certain knot in his heart seemed to be lifted.
"It's my turn to ask you," Owen asked, "Why did you suddenly think of such a strange question? Did you encounter something?"
"No..." Ivan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. In the darkness, he thought his brother wouldn't see it. "I just met a friend whose family situation is somewhat similar to his. However, I am luckier than him."
Much more."
"Idiot." Aoyun said disapprovingly, "Come over for dinner quickly. Don't keep dad waiting for you."
"But I've already eaten it------"
"------It's so noisy!!" Owen said angrily, and without saying a word, he stepped forward, grabbed his brother and dragged him out.
(Can't hatred be passed from one generation to the next...?)
(If everyone could think this way, the world would be much more peaceful.)
10pm.
Bedivere saw Arthur looking at the starry sky outside the house in a trance, and his back looked particularly lonely, so he couldn't help but walked over.
"Do you regret driving Kai away?" he asked.
"No, I'm just sorting out the information I've learned over the past few days." Arthur pretended to be disapproving and said, "I don't care about idiot Kai."
"That's not what you said on your face." The werewolf boy said, "It's better to call Kai quickly and apologize to him------"
"------Do you know why I'm angry?" Arthur suddenly asked.
"That's what Kai is hiding from you-----"
"No." Arthur denied, "I'm angry because he doesn't know the seriousness of the problem and thinks that he can solve it by just muddling through."
"What?" Bedivere became confused.
"That knight in black armor, I know how dangerous he is. When I saw him, my legs became weak, my whole body was weak, and I couldn't fight. And I must find the reason as soon as possible." Arthur explained, "You can't deal with that guy.
The opponent. If I can't fight anymore, it means that we will be completely wiped out as soon as that guy appears."
"It's not that exaggerated, as long as everyone works together--"
"You absolutely can't win." Arthur said with a dark face, "You, Tristan plus Lianyin, Kai and Ivan, even if the five of you come together, he will kill you instantly."
"How, how is it possible------"
"What I said is true. That guy's strength is equal to that of Heavenly Knight Palin Lore, and may even be above Palin Lore." Arthur said solemnly, "So, Kai is a fool. The situation
It's already serious enough, but you only care about my feelings and don't tell the truth. Do you think that if a group of weak people gather around to lick each other's wounds, the crisis will be over? Don't be naive!"
Although he was dissatisfied, Bedivere had no way to refute Arthur.
"Bedi, obey an absolute order." Arthur said categorically: "Next time you meet that guy in black armor, just carry me and run away immediately. If anyone in the team dares to fight, he will be knocked unconscious and dragged away
Let’s go. Don’t fight that guy in black armor no matter what, okay?”
"But------"
"Okay?!" Arthur emphasized again.
"Okay...Okay." The werewolf boy surrendered.
"If you encounter a situation where you cannot escape with me, you can escape with others, or even escape by yourself. Can you do it?" Arthur said again.
"Arthur?!"
"Can it be done?!" Arthur emphasized again.
"I---can't do it! How could I leave Arthur and escape alone------"
"If you can't do that, leave here now, and we will never have any friendship from now on." Arthur said coldly.
Bedivere's whole body trembled as if he had been stabbed by a dagger. Bedivere knew that Arthur's words were serious. Arthur could be ruthless enough to drive away Kay, and he could also be ruthless enough to drive away himself.
"...I know, I know." The werewolf boy whispered.
At the same time.
"Hey, crazy girl, Younes contacted me and said you went to the Knights of the West?" The voice of Grand Duke Lyon Dickens came from the other end of the phone.
"I was concerned about something, so I took advantage of my compensatory leave." Greenville said.
"Oh? I thought you went to find that boy Arthur?"
"Have you checked with Younes whether I have looked for him?" Greenville said displeasedly, "And why should I look for that wooden knight for no reason?"
"How do I know? Because I miss him?" Leon Dickens said jokingly, "That's why girls are said to be extroverted------"
"------Dad, if you called just to make a joke, I would hang up." Greenville said angrily.
"Okay, okay, no kidding," the Heavenly Knight said with a sneer, "Okay, you should be careful. Recently there is a civil war and a war with the orcs. You have to pay attention to your safety when you are alone outside."
"I know, dad is so verbose!" Greenville said impatiently, "Then, hang up."
The father wanted to say something else, but Greenville had already hung up the phone.
"What a heartless daughter." Grand Duke Lyon Dickens put down the phone and mocked.
