Riding and Slashing

Chapter 359

The residence of the Knights of the Griffon.

When Sir Roland arrived here, the first snow since the beginning of winter was falling in the sky.

"Master Li Ang, it's great that you're still alive..."

Roland smiled and greeted Li Ang.

Now, only Roland still calls Li Ang 'my lord'.

"Sir Roland, you seem to have changed a lot..."

Li Ang was a little surprised. He hadn't seen him for more than a year, but the paladin had turned gray and looked like he was ten years older.

Roland and his Knights of the New Dawn have been suppressing heretics and fallen people during the year when Li Ang disappeared.

Although Roland did not pledge allegiance to anyone, he actually undertook the most difficult combat missions and was always fighting at the forefront.

A year ago, after everyone worked together to push back Brennus from Sarleon City, the entire Sarleon Kingdom was powerless to fight back. Only Sir Roland led his knights to clean up and chase down those uncontrolled fallen ones. Chased all the way to Guihu Town.

After that, the entire western part of Sarleon Land fell into the flames of war. Except for Fawcett who could occasionally provide logistical support to Roland from Lion Lake City, none of the other lords could provide assistance to Fox Town.

The New Dawn Knights were actually very poor. When they were in Payne Village, Roland rejected Li Ang's financial support and only accepted some necessary equipment.

However, this new knight order, with a small number of people, average equipment, lack of food and clothing, and no reinforcements, relied on a single army to clean up the fallen people left in the Sarleon Land, and once wiped out the forces of the Three Prophets. The range is pushed back north of the Far Country.

The Three Prophets hadn't been silent this year. They had created countless fallen people, but they had been dragged by Roland to the Cliff Bay area.

This is the main reason why there is not a blood-sworn witch in the Prophet Legion in Kewen Village-the blood-sworn witch who wears heavy armor and moves slowly has basically been killed by Roland's New Dawn Knights.

At the same time, Roland will send all news related to heresy to Sarleon City and Lion Lake City as soon as possible.

When the Sarleon Kingdom fell into the quagmire of war, if Roland hadn't held back the Prophet Legion, it would have been difficult to maintain stability in the East and Beibu Gulf.

And Roland's gray hair and beard are the price of his painstaking efforts for more than a year.

But from the beginning to the end, Roland never asked anyone for any remuneration, and he didn't even ask any lord for support. Even the logistical support from Lion Lake City was offered by Fawcett—although Fawcett He is not a decent person, but he respects Roland very much.

"Sir Roland, I intend to let the Knights of the Twilight return to the Knights of the Dawn. Of course, I mean to let them join your team... No one would think that those fools in Guangxiao Bay can still represent the Lady Justice."

Li Ang knew that Alistair and the Twilight Knights were only forced by the situation and would not be completely loyal to him, so he had to let the Twilight Knights return to the New Dawn Knights.

By the way, let the paladins who have been clearing away evil increase their strength.

After all, the biggest enemy at present is Kavala, and Leon is not sure how Dalion or Leofric will react when they know that the enemy is Kavala in the future.

But he knew that Roland was definitely reliable, and he was the most reliable comrade in arms when facing evil.

Li Ang can rest assured that people like Roland can control Alistair who is not sincerely loyal to him.

"If the Dusk Knights are willing to return to Astalia's arms, then of course I will welcome the lost children back home. However, Lord Leon, many of them are now worshiping the dark goddess Eredar. Although I don't They will be regarded as heretics, but there will definitely be conflicts within the knight order..."

Roland did not refuse to accept a strong army, but it seemed a bit awkward. The issue of belief cannot be bypassed, and he did not want any factional disputes in his team.

"There are some things you may not know... The Goddess of Darkness is not a heresy. She was originally Astalia's closest comrade-in-arms. Many people in the original Dawn Knights also believed in Eredar..."

Li Ang spent a lot of time telling Roland the past events he had learned, that is, the stories of the gods, including the abyss and emptiness he had personally experienced.

For the time being, he only dared to tell Roland these things.

"That is to say... After the goddess left, Dawn and Dusk each went to two extremes..."

Roland thought for a while, and beckoned for Leonard.

"Reynard, two teachings... one is 'just as a balance, conduct as a sword'; the other is 'in the dark, the heart is light', which one do you think is more suitable for you?"

Roland asked seriously.

"I'm afraid I can't be as fair as a scale, nor can I have no evil thoughts in my heart... Sir Roland, of course the latter is more suitable for me."

Leonard answered very happily - this habitual thief certainly does not conform to the teachings of the Lady Justice.

"Then, you will become the deputy head of the New Dawn Knights, and you will guide the Twilight Knights...I hope you can make them all like you, at least keep a bright heart."

Roland patted Leonard on the shoulder.

Obviously, Sir Roland has not only changed his gray hair over the past year.

Of course Alistair didn't like such a rigid and decent person like Roland, but he had no resistance to Leonard, and followed Leonard very wisely.

This is exactly what both Li Ang and Roland wanted to see.

The New Dawn, which has been integrated with the Twilight Knights, is no less inferior to the Dawn Knights in Guangxiao Bay.

……

In the afternoon, Sir Roland and Wendy tried to save the dying Alaric.

Roland actually didn't know how to save people, the only thing he did was to shout at Alaric.

Strange to say, Alaric opened his eyes the moment the battle cry sounded.

Although his body is still weak, he is no longer in a daze, at least he seems to have regained his sanity.

Wendy took the opportunity to pour some potion on Alaric, drawing some kind of sigil while pouring it - this is the lake water that Wendy brought from Lake Erakle in the Noldor Forest. Artemisia - This thing has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and refreshing the mind, but after soaking in water and drinking it, its main function is actually to induce vomiting.

After being fed with Artemisia annua water, Alaric began to vomit. After vomiting, he was indeed refreshed. It seemed that Wendy's treatment plan was effective.

But after Alaric woke up, the first thing he said was: "Is Lord Li Ang here?"

Wendy immediately came out to find Leon, and brought him to Alaric's hospital bed.

"Master Li Ang... I had a long dream before. I dreamed that I was at the entrance of a terrible abyss...or a cave. I don't know how deep the abyss is. I can see that there seems to be magma in it, but I can't Move... I also saw you in my dream—I saw you flying out of that abyss. But I'm not sure if it's you, that person's hair is very long..."

Alaric was still weak, and he seemed impatient to tell Leon something.

"I think you read it right, I did fly out of an abyss..."

Li Ang realized that Alaric's soul might have been sucked in by the gate of the abyss.

Alaric drank the elixir made from Dragon's Tears, so he could easily fall into negative emotions such as grief and loneliness, which meant that his soul was very fragile and could be easily affected.

Li Ang now even feels that the medicine of immortality is not a lie, it really won't age after drinking it - of course it won't age if you become a spirit body...

"Huh...then what I saw in my dream should be real? I always thought it was real...Master Li Ang, I can guess what that abyss means, because I didn't just see it there. When it comes to you, there are two other people..."

Alaric spoke more anxiously: "One is an old man, and he has been here twice... He even talked to me!"

"You...couldn't you have seen a man who looks the same as the statue of the former king Kavala?"

Li Ang lowered the volume and looked around. Fortunately, there are only Wendy and Roland here.

From the looks of it, Alaric temporarily stayed at the gate of the abyss in the form of a spirit body, just like Midea's soul lived on the gate of the abyss after losing her body.

"That's right! It's him... I've seen the statue of Supreme King Kavala, I guarantee that it's him..."

Alaric nodded vigorously.

"What did he tell you?"

Li Ang subconsciously glanced at the ring on his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take it off.

"He asked me to work for him, saying that he wanted me to be a king...I didn't agree. I'm not a child, how can I be so easily deceived?...And the old man's demeanor looks like those who treat civilians as nothing. Noble is exactly the same, I don't like him!"

Alaric grinned: "Of course, the most important thing is that when that guy flew out, he was originally a skinless devil! But he suddenly turned into the appearance of Supreme King Kavala! Moreover, after he left, he went back to the He came back and snatched a woman back, this sudden change, he must be a devil, an old rascal devil!"

"What did the woman he brought back look like?"

Li Ang laughed, Alaric was still the same, this alcoholic was actually a straightforward character, and he didn't trust nobles in the first place.

However, Li Ang felt that Kavala must not have lied to Alaric - Kavala probably wanted Alaric to possess Ulrik's body, which would really make him king... and the spirit body Communication between them can't fool anyone, but luckily Alaric didn't believe it...

"Didn't you see her? When you flew out, that woman and I were at the door..."

Alaric asked somewhat strangely.

"I shouldn't be able to see you at that time... You should be able to understand that your soul was probably out of your body at that time, and living people can't see your soul..."

Li Ang explained honestly.

At that time, Leon was a living person, not a spirit body, so of course he couldn't see Alaric's soul.

Wendy next to her nodded thoughtfully, and Sir Roland also listened with a serious face and did not make a sound.

"The woman is very beautiful, she looks like a Barkley, she said her name is Anna... Moreover, she also refused the solicitation of the devil who claimed to be the High King... She said that she is only loyal to King Ulrik... "

Alaric continued: "I stayed at the gate of the abyss for a long time, I don't know how long... Then, just now, I seemed to be sucked up by a powerful force, as if I had been flying—just follow me It feels exactly the same after drinking too much... When I was flying, I heard the woman shout a few words, including your and Sir Roland's names..."

"This is the paladin's soul suppressing technique! Roland is saving you! Are you from Leon?... Has Leon gone back? I'll help you go back... You asked Leon to help me, I just want to find Ulrik !!"

Alaric spoke like a woman, and winked at Li Ang: "Master Li Ang, I think that woman wants me to bring you this message... She must not be your lover." ?”

"No, she is King Ulrik's lover... She was also a princess."

Li Ang and Wendy pouted together.

It seems that Anna helped Alaric, otherwise it would not be so easy for this guy to wake up - the gate of the abyss where the soul is located is at the bottom of Luxin Lake, but his body is in Kewen Village, which is far away!
"What Alaric saw was Kavala's soul... Anna... Ulrik... the Ulrik in Sarleon City is Kavala? Has he become a demon?"

Roland's acceptance of these things is indeed relatively high, and Li Ang told him about the past of the gods, so he immediately reacted.

Li Ang nodded: "It should be him... However, he is more terrifying than a demon - he has become an evil god! The evil god Aziz Dahaka of the Snake Cult was created by him!"

This guy actually came out before me?And after he came out, he took Anna back to the gate of the abyss?
Li Ang thought.

"Li Ang, Anna asked you to help her...Are you going to help her?"

Wendy asked with some anxiety.

"What should I do to help her? If I want to help, I want to help Ulrik. My wife was arrested and her body was used. It's quite miserable... But Ulrik and Anna are very interesting. Does it look like you really have feelings? I have to ask..."

Li Ang signaled Alaric to take a good rest, and then pulled Wendy and Roland together: "Come on, let's meet the other two prophets."

Wendy, the portable magic tower, must be carried with him. Li Ang has to take her with him wherever he goes now, or else Kavala or other scary things will suddenly appear...

And bring Roland, of course, because he is a real paladin, who can use soul sedation and interfere with the spells of the three prophets.

Now that the three prophets have been arrested, it is estimated that there will be no problems in the town of Fox Town for a while, and there is no need for Roland to stay there all the time - lest this decent person interfere with Leonard and Alistair's earning money 'Pay taxes to Leon...

On the way to Changhe Town, Li Ang asked about soul suppression.

Soul suppression is actually not a magical technique, but a kind of temperament - in fact, it should have been called "soul righteousness".

It is the kind of positive energy formed by a gentleman who is upright and acts openly and aboveboard...

Many people say that 'walking straight and being upright is immune to all evil', and they are talking about this kind of energy.

In Li Ang's previous world, this kind of energy was called "Majestic Righteous Qi", and it is said that the effect is similar. Not only can all monsters and ghosts not get close to him, but it can also help people around them calm down and dispel evil spirits.

In Li Ang's view, this is the righteousness that Roland has cultivated with his kindness and integrity for decades.

However, Roland felt that this was the blessing of the goddess brought about by his devotion to the goddess of justice-in fact, it was similar, the teaching of the goddess of justice is to make people fair and upright.

The two captured prophetesses are currently being held in the main building of White Hart Castle. Wendy brought them there when she returned to the forest to fetch water from the lake.

They can only be locked there - Wendy is currently the lord of White Hart Castle, and the main building of White Hart Castle is now full of Noldor elves, and the three prophets can't make any moths.

The current White Hart Castle is different from the past. There are more Noldor than humans.

During the year of Lyon's absence, most of the human inhabitants moved to Maishanling, and the Noldor lived in White Hartkeep.

Although the two sides still maintain friendly relations, White Hart Castle is still open to everyone.But without Li Ang, the two sides did not have such a high degree of trust in each other. Business exchanges were not as frequent as before, and the Noldor Elves no longer helped humans fight.

Fortunately, the bus service did not stop - both Amy and Wendy tacitly maintained the practice of issuing monthly tickets.

Only the two of them have always firmly believed that Li Ang would definitely come back, and they were unwilling to let the transportation industry developed by Li Ang disappear.

Oh, not just the two of them, but Alina too.

Arina was also in White Hart Castle at this time.

After Li Ang and Amy announced their engagement, Alina moved into Wendy’s house—in fact, Alina and Wendy’s relationship has always been better, after all, Wendy saved Alina on the battlefield of Boshi City life.
