Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 115 Before dawn comes, someone has to light up the darkness a little (7k)

"Your Majesty Cain, can I just leave it here?"

A respectful voice came from outside the door.

Char opened the door and saw a group of knights lined up neatly outside their house.

The tall horses behind them carried box after box of neatly arranged jewelry, gold and silver.

The leading knight looked handsome and resolute, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

But at this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Char was indescribably complicated, and even the bright silver knight's armor looked a little dull.

"Sorry to trouble you, Gao Wenqing, and everyone else."

With a faint smile on her lips, Xia Ya pointed to the floor in front of her: "Just put it here."

He is now a pure character monster, and every word he speaks is concerned about the country and the people.

"Of course I know the profound meaning behind your concealment of this matter!"

For a moment, I actually believed that you, the gorilla, could see through my disguise.

"Cain, are you planning to stay alone and break up your marriage?"

Sun Knight, Gawain.

He waved his hand for the other knights to retreat, and then closed the door.

A hazy faint laughter floated out from the whirlpool mask: "Don't feel sorry for me, Gao Wenqing."

Thinking of this, three silver moons appeared quietly in Xia Ya's dark eyes under the whirlpool mask.

The next moment, Xia Ya saw Gawain step forward.

Could it be that his identity as a monster has been seen through by the other party?
Xia Ya didn't feel that he had exposed any flaws, but he knew that Gawain was also the type who had a brain in his muscles and relied entirely on intuition.

This sentence made Char pause, and he narrowed his eyes to look at the handsome knight in front of him.

"of course!"

"Remember not to reveal it to others, otherwise if it causes the morale of the army to be shaken, you should know what the consequences will be."

There is such a thing as intuition, and there is no need for logic or reason to doubt people.

"But I didn't expect that you would actually see it."

Gawain looked excited: "Although I am not half as good as Cain and the king in terms of resourcefulness and city government, I am not a fool."

The main feature is a Jack Sue who corresponds to a Mary Sue.

"Although Gao Wenqing, you joined the coalition relatively late, neither I nor the king have ever questioned your loyalty."

Looking at the mountains of gold and silver objects, Xia Ya couldn't help but whistle: "The king is so generous... He actually rewarded so many things, the inventory is almost empty."

"You treat me like a countryman, and I will repay you like a countryman."

"you……"

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

Ding dong, ding dong...

After doing all this, the leading knight looked at Char's face, or more precisely at his swirling mask, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others is a matter of course."

No, no, no, you are just a fool.

"Although the king hid it from us, he only gave the order to disperse and break out..."

One of the most famous knights under the King of Knights, besides himself, he is a powerful person with the title of "Sun Knight".

However, facing Char's words, the handsome knight in the lead still had a complex expression.

Xia Ya glanced at Gao Wen, who had a complicated expression in front of him, and said calmly: "The king is hiding this from you because he doesn't want you to worry."

"But, I saw the sadness in his eyes when he mentioned you."

"Please also ask Gao Wenqing to tell the king..."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have a nickname like "Gorilla".

Although the opponent is in the sixth ring, his illusion has always been the nemesis of the reckless man.

"The king has given me such a generous reward, so naturally I have to repay it."

There are as many as a dozen large boxes, and each box is filled to the brim.

"Stop pretending, Cain."

Xia Ya controlled her urge to complain and said calmly: "As long as you understand."

He is a legendary figure written in the history books of later generations.

Gawain spoke in a deep voice, a layer of gloom hanging over his usually sunny face.

At the same time, he is also one of the future Knights of the Round Table.

Boxes of money and jewelry were moved to Xia's room.

Gawain opened his mouth, but felt that his voice was extremely jerky and stiff.

"Based on your and Xiao's status in the hearts of the coalition forces and the people, and how much the king values ​​you."

"Once the whole territory is unified and a country is established, then you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."

"The little money we have now is nothing compared to it. It's just a drop in the bucket..."

Gawain's words were only half spoken, and he could no longer continue.

To put it bluntly, most princes and nobles will choose to follow the Knight King, which is actually investing. If the Knight King can really unify the entire territory of Esgania, then they will become ministers of the dragon.

The biggest minister who followed the dragon was Cain. Anyone in the coalition could see how much the king valued Cain...

But at this moment, Cain took the initiative to give up his extremely bright future to gain greater chances of victory and life for others.

"yes……"

Char's words were still calm.

"Everyone wants to be a minister of the dragon."

"They all think that after victory, they can be rewarded with territory, promoted to a higher rank, and receive a hundredfold reward."

"But... in this troubled world, if you want to pursue change and victory, how can you not pay the price?"

"Our journey along the way has been too smooth."

"So many people have forgotten that war is not a child's play. From the beginning, there is no so-called optimal solution for perfect clearance."

“Without sacrifice, there is no victory.”

He turned around and looked out the window at the dark and dim night sky.

Only the back of the robe with red clouds on a black background was left, floating in the evening wind.

"But aren't you afraid of death?"

Gawain asked involuntarily.

However, what responded to him was still just that vague and hazy voice.

"Afraid, of course I am."

"Ants are greedy for life, let alone me."

Xia Ya's words paused slightly.

"only--"

"Before the dawn comes, someone has to light up the darkness a little."

“There are always some things that stand above others.”

……

Obviously the figure in the Dawn robe is not very tall.

But in Gawain's eyes at this moment, it was so majestic, stretching infinitely against the background of the night.

In a daze, his back is turned to all sentient beings.

"Your Majesty Cain, please allow me to follow you to the temple..."

Looking at Cain in front of him, Gawain felt a hot fire being ignited in his heart.

Obviously his name is the so-called Sun Knight, the sun that illuminates the battlefield...

From the beginning to the end, Gawain has always had this goal, adhering to the virtues of knights, and wanting to illuminate more people with the glory of knights.

But now in front of Cain, he felt that his brilliance was so small, just like a firefly in the bright moon.

It was only at this moment that Gawain truly understood the true meaning of the Xiao organization.

However, as if he had already guessed what he was going to say, Gawain's proposal was interrupted by Xia Ya just as he left his mouth.

"Gao Wenqing, you are also a knight. You should understand that the battlefield is not a stage for emotions, and the more people in the rear, the better."

"I know that you are very powerful, and you have also contracted a powerful sword-shaped holy relic, and under the sun, you can also get substantial bonuses."

"However, this is information that both the enemy and ourselves know. Do you think the other party will not take precautions in a targeted manner?"

"The opponent's encirclement and suppression will inevitably occur in the dark. By then, your original combat power will be reduced by more than 30%."

"To put it bluntly, if you stay with me to get married, you will actually only be holding me back."

"I……"

Gawain opened his mouth, but found that he was completely unable to refute.

"The frontal breakout area is your main battlefield."

"Without your combat power, there may be more casualties."

Xia Ya waved his hand: "Okay, go back and report to the king."

"If you never go back, you might even cause him to worry."

"Besides, in the last minute, I also want to prepare well and adjust my condition."

"Perhaps, I could have found an opportunity to escape originally, but because of your delay, my condition was not adjusted to its best, and I died in the battle..."

After a few words of truth, Gao Wen was instantly suppressed and lost his temper.

His face was flushed, his eyes were complicated, and he wanted to speak several times, but finally suppressed it.

This is true.

If Xia's slim hope of survival really passed away because of his own fault, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Seeing Gawain respectfully perform a standard knightly salute to him, and then turn around and leave, not forgetting to take the door handle when leaving, Xia Ya couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally the gorilla was taken away.

It would really be a bit troublesome if he really wanted to stick around to accompany him to divorce.

[The favorability of the less important person "Sun Knight Gawain" towards you increases by 20 points]

[Current favorability is: 70 (respected)]

The blue subtitles appeared in Xia Ya's mind, making his expression slightly stiff.

At seventy points of favorability, according to the system's description, if the person is of the opposite sex, it has reached the point where it can develop into a romantic relationship.

I didn't expect this guy to be so naive, he would believe it after just a few words.

Xia Ya's eyes swept over the boxes of belongings piled up in his room.

The next moment, his thoughts moved slightly, and he put all these belongings into the shining space pocket.

The King of Knights and the great knights all believed that the reason why Cain accepted the money was just for show.

After all, in this troubled world, real territory or extraordinary materials that can enhance one's strength are far more precious than money that cannot be spent.

But only Xia Ya knew that he really needed the money.

Xia Ya couldn't cash out the rewards, territories, etc. that were worth more than ten thousand people for one person, and it was useless to take them.

Moreover, by the time the Foresta Empire is established, he may have already suffered from eternal infamy and will not be able to obtain those things.

On the contrary, no one cares about these real money in this troubled world, but it will be different when he withdraws from the remnants of history and returns to reality.

It has the aesthetic feeling of opening a double door to two worlds and reselling materials in different worlds.

"Twinkle."

Following Xia Ya's soft call, the fluffy little golden monkey suddenly appeared in the void.

"Chirp chirp~ (Master, I miss you so much.)"

As soon as he appeared, Twinkle couldn't wait to jump onto Char's shoulder.

Originally, it and Sister Yin's shoulder seat were on the same side.

But as Chihong joined the team, its status became precarious. Fortunately, Char preferred to hold Chihong in the form of a star in her arms as a pillow, so Shining's seat was barely saved.

But then, another white cat came.

So Shining had no place at all, and the key were the three who took his place. Silver was the eldest sister, Red was the current force and appearance of his beast master, and the white cat was the hidden super big one. guy.

No one can grab his seat, and most of the time he can only sleep in the soul space with envious eyes. It's rare to get out for some air now, so I must seize the opportunity.

"Twinkle, can you get us out of this historical remnant?"

Char asked.

The little golden monkey on his shoulder was silent for two seconds, and then nodded.

"Chichichi~ (Yes, but it will take some time.)"

"it is good."

Xia Ya nodded.

Although the "Flashback Pocket Watch" can also be forced to exit, it is a one-time life-saving item that you bought with your own money, so it is better to use it sparingly.

Of course, with his current immortality, it seems that life-saving items have no meaning.

In the previous historical reverberation, Xia Ya always followed the instructions of the mission and exited after reaching a certain mission node.

However, as a formal mission, the degree of freedom of the historical reverberation this time is obviously much higher. Except for those two big goals, there are no specific restrictions on Char's action path, and even the exit node is not provided.

Therefore, he has to choose the time to withdraw.

And what Xia Ya and Gawain said about themselves being well prepared was not just lies.

"This battle... will be the final performance of "Black Knight" Cain. "

"It is also a key node for the transformation of the Akatsuki organization."

Xia Ya's eyes were dark.

Over the past six months, the Akatsuki organization has become famous, and the name of Black Knight Cain has also become famous all over the world...

The legend and title of Purple, as well as the fifty-point favorability of the King of Knights, Cardinal and others, are the results of his efforts.

but.

So far, it's almost over.

Artolis and Cardinal, the most important leaders in each camp, are legends or future legends.

As the strongest person who stands at the apex of the extraordinary world and has formed his own spiritual ocean, the legendary strong man has already reached spiritual perfection and can stand at a higher point to examine his heart. His will is firm and his heart will not be easily touched.

Far from being as easy to fool as a reckless man like Gawain, a few simple words of truth can make him admire him to the point of being sincerely convinced.

For example, if Char hadn't met Sylvia when she was still an ordinary person, leaving an indelible mark on her heart when she was weak, he would have experienced the same thing again after Sylvia became a legend.

Then she may be grateful to Xia Ya, but it will never be like the real situation. Even after five hundred years, she will still be unforgettable.

According to Xia Ya's estimation.

In a short period of time, the favorability of the King of Knights can reach 50 points, which is the point where he becomes "a trustworthy confidant", which is the limit.

If you still maintain your current identity, then if you want to go further, you will need a long time of company, spending ten, twenty, or even hundreds of years.

Relying on the accumulation of time, feelings are sublimated.

Similarly, the reputation of the Akatsuki Organization and the Black Knights has also reached a barrier...

If we continue step by step, we can only maintain the status quo and it will be difficult to break through in a short time.

Of course, Char could not stay in the reverberations of history for dozens or even hundreds of years, but he was also not satisfied with purple legend and 50 points of favorability.

My own legend must be golden after all.

As for the favorability of the King of Knights, it must break through 70 points no matter what.

Therefore, Xia Ya prepared to use some more drastic methods.

"after all……"

He smiled silently.

"The living can never surpass the dead."

As long as a person lives, he will always be criticized and questioned in various ways.

Because of human nature, we cannot recognize that a living person can do things that we are completely unable to do.

However, as long as someone dies, he is invincible.

"Black Knight Cain".

This name will live in people's memories forever, constantly remembered, beautified and fermented in their thoughts...

And people's impressions will always stay at his most perfect and glorious moment, and will last forever.

The Akatsuki organization can also use this to move behind the scenes and enter the second stage.

In the end, when the feelings and thoughts in people's hearts ferment to the extreme...

Let’s do another reversal.

Half angel, half devil, a god and a devil.

Simply perfect.

and so……

It was the final performance of the "Black Knight", so Char naturally had to prepare well.

Leave behind the most gorgeous and shining one...

The light shines brightly and is imprinted into the back of everyone's heart.

"Chirp chirp (Master, I have activated my ability. It will probably take dozens of seconds to exit the historical reverberation.)"

Along with the flashing prompts, Xia Ya felt her body begin to fade away little by little.

It gradually became hazy and illusory, and his sense of existence in this space and time began to quickly dissipate.

Soon, it was nothingness.

……

The lord's mansion in the distance.

Isadella noticed that the holy sword she wore on her waist suddenly flickered.

The next moment, she noticed that some huge mystery emerged from the holy sword again.

"The power of the Holy Sword has been exhausted, and it can no longer support my existence in this time and space."

"It seems like you need to wait for the Holy Sword to be charged before you can enter again."

She nodded slightly.

Through the soul covenant between herself and the Holy Sword, Isadella can clearly feel it.

As she assumed the identity of "Artoris", she gradually embarked on the path of becoming the King of Knights.

The restraints on the holy sword were clearly loosened a bit.

According to this progress, when the entire territory of Esgania is unified and the Foresta Empire is founded, it should be the day when the Holy Sword completely returns to its full glory, and it is also the day when she is promoted to the throne.

The next moment, the huge mystery carried Isadella back towards the lower reaches of the long river of time.

……

In the study, Xia Ya slowly opened his eyes.

It seems to be because this historical reverberation is much older than the one in Cangting Ancient Kingdom.

Breaking away from the reverberations of history, passing through the long river of time...

It is different from the dizziness and confusion that was felt when I was separated from the reverberations of history in the past.

This time, with the improvement of Char's own rank and the Sand of Time's affinity for the laws of time and space, he has been able to clearly perceive everything in the long river of time.

It was a brand new experience, and it also strengthened Xia Ya's understanding of the long flow of time.

Looking at the familiar furniture in the mansion in the Widowmaker District, Char quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down the insights and thoughts he had just experienced.

"Since the reverberations of history are the real history."

"Then if I directly rewrite past history, for example...kill the Knight King before the establishment of the Foresta Empire, what will the current reality look like?"

"The empire simply ceased to exist and the world was turned upside down...or maybe there was some kind of historical correction that allowed a new knight to replace the leader after the King of Knights was killed. In the end, the empire was also established. Minimal modifications maintain the historical trend.”

"Or... when I haven't had time to kill the King of Knights in the reverberations of history, I will be directly blocked or even obliterated by the inertia of time maintaining the general trend of history?"

"It shouldn't be possible to directly erase it, but based on the insights the Sands of Time brought me, and the experience I just had in the long river of time..."

"The general trend of history, as well as the corrective force and inertia to maintain the general trend of history, should indeed exist."

"If you want to change the general trend of history, you need the strength to match it. The more you deviate from past history, the greater the correction force and resistance you will encounter."

"Even if the throne has the consistency of time and space, it is extremely difficult to modify history."

"But this has led to a new problem."

Char's pen tip paused slightly.

"Why...I didn't encounter any obstacles when I entered the historical reverberations of Cangting Ancient Kingdom."

"Sylvia is the real throne, and the White Tower is one of the best extraordinary forces in the Western Continent. This is already part of the historical trend. Why can I participate in the plot without resistance?"

"Without my intervention, Norton's plan should have succeeded, but history is not like that."

"Or am I part of the historical trend?"

"In other words, who am I?"

Xia Ya looked at the draft paper written in Chinese characters in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This all rises directly to the philosophical level of who I am and who I am.

There is too little evidence today, and blind thinking will be fruitless.

Char twirled the pen on his fingertips.

The next moment, poof——

The metal pen tip sank into the palm of his hand, and then he pulled it out.

There was no blood gushing out, not even a wound appeared.

Almost at the same time as the pen was pulled out, the flesh and blood on Char's palm healed at the same moment.

Looking at the results of his experiment in front of him, Xia Ya's eyes paused slightly.

His immortality is not exclusive to the reverberations of history.

But it is equally effective in reality.

It should have been the moment he broke through the fourth ring that he obtained this immortal curse.

"In other words, I actually already had this ability at the Borgia family's dinner."

"So, if Sylvia hadn't taken action and directly suppressed the whole crowd...then my immortality would probably have been exposed when I was besieged by other Borgia retainers."

Thinking like this, Xia Ya couldn't help but stand up and quickly returned to his bedroom.

Then, he picked up the white cat on the bed who was quietly squinting his eyes and looking in the direction of the study. He took it into his arms and stroked it.

"As expected of my Xibao, eldest wife."

"If it weren't for you, I would be in big trouble."

As for why Sylvia is the eldest wife and Aurora is the youngest wife, of course they are arranged according to the cup size.

Meow meow meow~
The white cat who was suddenly carried into his arms was at a loss and waved his hands and feet in panic.

But then, after hearing Xia Ya's words, the white cat's struggle softened in an instant, and even the cat's meow became weak.

Xia Ya didn't think much about it, but after petting the cat, she returned to the study.

He returned to reality and had something to do.

On the one hand, it is to prepare for the upcoming battle in the reverberations of history.

In addition, during the more than half a year of the reverberation of history, Char's rank finally crossed the fourth ring and reached the fifth ring.

Although the fourth soul contract has been inexplicably occupied, fortunately everything is normal in the fifth soul contract.

Because of this, it is time to put the contract partner option of the fifth soul contract on the agenda.

Xia Ya actually had already made arrangements for his fourth pet beast, but the previous funds had not been secured and the trip could not be made.

And now, with the sponsorship of the Knight King in the reverberations of history, the funding gap has finally been filled...

Of course, Qiabaita's soft rice is also a way to go, but unless necessary, Xia Ya is still unwilling to ask for money from his woman.

What if, because of this, I get pinned down?
"At this point... Xiao Ai should still be practicing, right?"

Xia Ya glanced at the direction of the meditation room, noticed the long breathing sound, and then took out a blue crystal from the space pocket.

He input a trace of spiritual power into the crystal.

In the Western Continent, whether it is the empire, the alliance of princes or the Holy Theocracy, they all have their own exclusive portable magic communication technology.

What Xia is using at this moment is the communicator exclusive to the Holy Theocracy.

This kind of private communicator comes in duplicate and can only be held by senior leaders of the Theocracy, and the owner of the other half of the communicator in Char's hand is from the Holy Court...

Holy Maiden of the Dawn.
