Death Knight

Catolie's words stirred in Roland's mind like an echo, not only did not fade away, but also shocked the past that was sealed in the memory by the death knight.

"My dear disciple, stop here. If you revenge for remorse, the end result will only be more remorse ..." In the majestic tower of the city of inflammation, Uther's old and deep exhortation resounded Up.

"Jiu Yuan won't like you ... Absolutely ..." In front of Jiu Yuan's tomb with flying petals, the depressing and sad expression of the elf girl gradually became clear.

"Why did the sword pointing at Wyndham end Uther's life? Why is your former comrade-in-arms standing before you now? Roland, don't you understand? You're falling ~! Stop it ~! "In the crown of ice standing above the clouds, the figure of Delicia throwing his sword into the pupil of the water again.

When the scorching fire of vengeance burns inside, everything can be set aside, but now, those eyes attached to one thing have lost their focus. The cracked blade was soaked in the blood for too long, and when he cut off what he wanted to cut, he could no longer resist the impact from the outside.

Roland had no way of refuting the girl's declaration. The only thing he could do was stare straight at Catoli, and clenched her lips subconsciously.

"You're right, maybe ... if you insist on this belief, I think that you can realize the meaning of Yunyao even without revenge. Josephine will be proud of you, too." Between the two, in the end, the demon hunter finally came up with a suitable sentence to answer each other.

"Thank you, Kaos." The girl replied, but then she seemed to cover her mouth, and her fair complexion was instantly flushed, "Ah, isn't this too verbose? Does it seem like a boring sermon? I actually spent a morning talking about my childhood and condemning those undead who are thousands of miles away ... "

"No, I don't like that, I like to listen," Roland avoided the other person's eyes, looked at the sky dotted with the new green, and sighed deeply. "Your voice is crisp and sweet, very attractive."

"Aren't you trying to coax me?" Cattorie smiled, her short hair covering the glorious eyes at that moment.

"How is that possible? If there is a chance, I want to know more." The demon hunter patted each other's shoulders. "But it's not early now, maybe Rennes and Xiuying will be impatient, you Go back to the camp first. "

"Aren't you with me?"

"The demon hunter is also a ranger, and I found an interesting plant nearby," the death knight whispered. "I want to observe it first, and then come back later."

"Then I'll go." The girl nodded. "Yes, Kaos ..."

"how?"

"If you can, chat with me next time, okay?" Catoli asked softly.

"Of course, this is my pleasure." The Demon Hunter tried to make his smile as natural as possible.

The girl turned towards the camp, while Roland stared silently at the black hair that was gradually disappearing in the green. When the light figure of the other person completely disappeared, he shook his head with relief and then covered it with his hands. Face, the flames swaying at the bottom of the pupil were buried under the haze of the palm of the hand.

There is no way to answer ~! Even if it is just a sentence, there is no room to say ~!

The crisp and clear voice seemed to be the sharpest blade, and ruthlessly pierced the cold fact into his heart—under the body of Windham, there was a deep sea of ​​blood.

As Isulin's Olin, Roland can completely torture on it without any worry, but he has no way to make this reason rely on faith. Because he will be the vanguard of the battle in the Undead War, more for revenge, not for the death knight's faith. In the battle of the Great Plains of West Elazia, if it was not Richard's blame, maybe he would even leave Ishtoli ~!

You are right, that is the narrow and selfish revenge, which I know best.

"Katori Oland, I can't refute your words." Roland muttered to himself, with an uncontrollable tremor in his tone. "But ... vengeance ... that's the only thing I can do for a long time. Other than that, there is no other way ~! And, I will never regret it for revenge ~! "

The words did not fall, the side of the big sword had been severely hit on the trunk, and under the impact of the epee, the big tree embraced by the two immediately shook violently, and a blade was suddenly formed above the death knight's head heavy rain. But before those emerald rain drops fell to the ground, Frost's blades flew past them and divided them all into two. The dazzling sword-mantle seemed to be a silver poisonous snake vomiting a letter, lingering tightly around Roland's side.

Catoli, your soul has a beautiful color, but can you still shine the light that burns me before mocking people's fate? When you face the murderer who killed Josephine again, can you still calmly swing your sword? At some point, when you face Roland Strevef, will you still be able to implement your principles firmly?

... Maybe at that time, you will become like me?

"Only when you feel with your own soul, you will understand what kind of pain it is." Roland's mouth rose slightly, forming a cold smile, "I will do the job of the demon hunter Kaos, this is not necessary Worry. When it's time for that fate, everything will be clear. "

The death knight stole a chilling sword and slowly walked towards the camp, his cloak dancing wildly behind him, as if the dark eagle's vibrating wings.

"Finally solved ~! One of the biggest crises in this mission ~!" Looking at the rising sun, Cattoli smiled brightly. Ren and Xiuying behind the girl also cheered in unison while the result was announced.

"Josephine, I will definitely reach an agreement with you, successfully complete the mission and return to the holy capital safely!" Catoli murmured softly, and the next moment, Roland's smile reflected in her eyes.

"The team has successfully withstood the test. As the captain, you are doing very well." The death knight said, but his tone was a bit complicated.

"That's because there is an omnipotent backing." The girl answered playfully, the jumping gaze was beyond capture.

On the 28th of May, Luvis's calendar, Catoli and his entourage crossed the last meeting point of this world and the underworld in the journey, which means that in the next journey, the power of the devil will no longer be able to treat them Poses a threat.

More than four months have elapsed since leaving the holy capital, and the demon hunter and Catoli have traveled together for more than two months. After Roland officially became a member of the team, it was practical to avoid the demons. According to the materials known in the Alliance's magic world, the demons can only sense the activities of the living creatures at the intersection of this world and the underworld, and Experienced demon hunters "just happen to" be familiar with the locations of these locations in Fahdodo-especially those in areas where the team is about to enter.

In addition to the villages of Belial and the Hills of Stirtier, there are three other places where demons may appear-the agricultural city of Radiano, the city of Gizan, and Mount Rubis. The two cities are not the only way to go, not to mention that even if there are no demons, the wanted party cannot enter the city. Roland carefully led them around. The only trouble he encountered was only a few **** dogs-these The guy's sense of smell is too sensitive, even if walking along the edge of the intersection, they still found the tempting target-but these uncontrollable low-level demons quickly became souls under the sword.

There are also many roads to choose from in Rubis Mountain, but unfortunately, the intersection of this world and the Umbra covers the whole mountain, no matter which road you choose, you cannot escape the tracking of the devil. Even after being fully prepared for battle and psychological preparations, the following endurance tug-of-war still severely tests the physical strength and will of a party. The struggling team also encountered a 20-member Fahdodo patrol mid-mountainside. The other party quickly recognized that these disguised travelers were the target of the Cavaliers Command, but before they launched the attack, they were angry. The smolder and hellhound tore these poor scouts to pieces.

Finally, after four days of almost endless anti-tracking battles, Catoli and his team finally crossed Mount Rubis. When Roland's great sword cut off the head of the last helldog that followed, the other three seemed to be Forgetting the pain in his body, he cheered uncontrollably.

"According to the current forward speed, in a week or so, we can reach the Yahwe Mountains, where the legendary star capital is located." Roland summarized the situation now.

The land at the foot of the death knight is much drier than the hills of Santill, because under the thick soil layer is a few meters of hard rock, the surrounding trees gradually turn into the coniferous jungle of the cold zone. Just raise your head and reflect into The aquamarine pupils are the majestic silhouette of the Yahwe Mountains soaring into the clouds-it is said that the height of the mountain is even higher than the Naga Mountains that the Erazyas are proud of. It runs across an ancient river, one of the sources of the Nile, the Grandale River.

"It is finally possible to reach the legendary capital ... the magic mystery and countless historical secrets are waiting for us ~! It seems like a dream ~!" The always calm high-level mage has become the most excited at this moment. Man, "I really want to know, what kind of place is there?"

"Who knows. It is said that countless practitioners who have arrived in the Yahwe Mountains are heading towards the Star City, but no one can confirm the legend," Ren shrugged subconsciously. "The current conclusion is : The actual location of the Star City is on the highest peak of the Yahwe Mountains ... because no one can climb that high, it must be the location of the legendary capital ... "

"But there is someone who has witnessed everything from the Star City-Roland Streve." Cattoli took the words of the Paladin, "Dark Eagle met the woman who changed his life ... that was not It's not a mysterious legend, because the girl's blood is flowing in my body at this moment, which is also a kind of irony of fate? "

"Roland Streve will always be a lover, long-term." The death knight stared intently at the magnificent barrier at the end of the horizon, and the pupils of water were full of missed tinders.

How can I speak to Flora when I reach the Star City? The demon hunter once again remembered what he was worried about, and subconsciously put his hand on the pendant on his chest. The gentle breath was still the same, and the death knight was immersed in the nostalgic silence.

But soon, the soldier's instinctual response brought Roland back to reality. He could clearly feel that a faint but real breath was hiding in the nearby bushes, Catoli, far from the front of the team. Only a few meters away.

Almost at the same time, Catori and Rennes also captured the strangeness of the surrounding environment. Xiu's insight was much slower, but the trio's winks quickly made the clever advanced wizard understand Everything. The original relaxed atmosphere was suddenly pulled apart like a bowstring, and it was tense and suffocating.

Catoli, who was closest to the lurker, drew a short sword from her waist. The light body passed over the obstacle. In a blink of an eye, the sharp edge of the sword pointed at the enemy hidden in the bush, Roland Mochi To serve as a girl's backup. The mage on the other side immediately laid down two enchantments for himself, and the paladin also circled the side of the Demon Hunter at the same time.

However, the next moment, Catolie's mixed screams stopped everyone's movements.

"Both of you put down your sword, put down ~!" The girl ordered the two behind her in an unquestionable tone, and she inserted the short sword into the sheath at the same time.

The reason for her to do so was unexpected, but it was taken for granted-it wasn't the Cavaliers assassin that lurked in the bushes, but just a twelve-year-old boy. After being discovered, the only thing the other party could do was silently close to the big tree behind him. He tried to cover the obvious bruises on his legs and kept the posture of confrontation with Catori. However, The brown-black pupils leaked the fear that the ghost was hiding inside.

That's why he hid in the bushes ... wounded with inconvenience, but suddenly encountered four armed and unidentified travellers, no matter who would be disturbed? Catoli speculated like this, sighed secretly, and then slowly approached the boy: "Don't be afraid, we are just ordinary travelers, I promise I will never hurt you ~! Your leg is hurt, does it hurt? Isn't it preventing you from walking? "

"Don't, don't come over, I'm fine!" The boy said something incoherent.

"Why are kids becoming more timid now? It's not cute at all." Cattoli changed the cautious diplomacy just now and couldn't help holding down the imp, "Let me see your wounds ... they are all swollen. No wonder you ca n’t run away! Do n’t move around, it will only make you more painful. Fix it, come and help me. "

Next, the warriors who had been nervous can only wait silently, but the creator of the crisis accepted the mage's treatment with peace of mind, and at the same time enjoyed the first meticulous care of the Paladin assessment.

"Is this the so-called Huairou policy?" Ren asked the Demon Hunter a bit puzzled.

"I prefer to call this" the irresistible, unreasonable and unreasonable maternal love that all women have ". Roland shrugged and answered helplessly.

After all, the child is a child. Under the action of the girl's friendly offensive and healing techniques, the little ghost's defense mentality soon collapsed. After the short treatment, the team took him for granted—the jungle with beasts infested is not suitable for a 13-year-old child to act alone. No one questioned this.

"Look, we're turning our enemies into friends now." Cattoli shook the boy's little hand, and then blinked ostentatiously to the hunter on the side.

"Yeah, you are awesome." Roland's expression was a little complicated. To distract attention, the death knight immediately turned his eyes to the little guy beside him. "Yes, can you tell us your name? Also, you How come to such inaccessible places? "

"I'm Frond from Enoch Village. The village is more than a day away from here. I came here to check the traps that I dropped a few days ago." The little ghost was still somewhat restrained, but his tone had relaxed. "I didn't expect to meet a wild boar when I came home ... if I didn't climb the tree in time, I would be dead ~! But when I came down, I hurt my leg, which is unlucky ~!"

"More than a day away ... why ran so far away from home to hunt?" The girl asked puzzledly.

"That's because all the prey that can be captured near the village has been captured," Frond took for granted, "Enoch village can be said to be at the foot of the mountain, because of the high mountain, we can only watch one day there. In the middle of the sun, there was no harvest in the fields, and the currents of the nearby rivers were rushing, and there was no way to catch fishing nets. There was a road leading directly to the big city. At that time, Enoch Village was also a lively post, but later The nobles set a lot of levels, and the situation has been worse ... If you don't want to be hungry, you have to think of a way ... "

"Is that so ..." Cattoli lowered her head. The young paladin suddenly realized that in the face of this situation, he was more speechless than he had imagined.

Not to mention the extravagance of Draenor's princes and descendants of the nobles, even if I always recognized myself as high and not tempted, I had never left the holy capital before I was 13 years old. choir. But now this child, who is also 13 years old, has to run for survival at this moment ... Is such a contrast a reality that even God cannot eliminate?

"Sister, where are you going?" Frond's voice interrupted her emotions.

"We're going to climb Yahvi." The girl patted each other's head.

"Going to climb Mount Yahvi ~ !?" The ghost's eyes lit up suddenly. "Is it going to look for the legendary star capital, as the adults in the village said?"

"You are so smart, you guessed it at once." The girl nodded with a smile.

"In that case, Sister Catori, how about you coming to our village? It's not an exaggeration. It's very difficult to climb the mountain. It's not good to take a good rest before that, and you must also prepare for climbing. Right wrong?"

Frond's words silenced the four for a moment. "Take a rest in the village", this is a big temptation for those who have stayed in the wild for a full three months, not to mention that they only experienced a few brutal wrestlings with the demons not long ago and completely rested It's required. But at the same time, the chase from the Cavaliers is another factor that has to be considered. For this four-man squad, entering the area where the Fahdods lived may represent a self-throwing network—this time If anything happens, no demon will come out to help the situation.

"Come on! Although the living conditions are not good now, compared to the neighboring villages, we have had a good time. There is no problem to entertain four people for one night ~! You treat me wounds and **** all the way When I go back to the village, my mother will certainly welcome you to the house ~! Looking at the travelers who exchanged their winks, the little guy sent out an invitation again. This time his tone has increased a lot. It seems that Catoli's friendly offensive It is indeed very good.

How do you decide? Find a reason to refuse? Or ... accept it? If you only stay for one night, shouldn't there be any accidents? After all, even within the territory of a well-developed communications technology alliance, it is impossible to publish a wanted order to all villages ... Fahodors are even more unlikely to do so. And indeed, climbing Yahvi needs to be fully prepared ...

The 17-year-old captain felt that he could not make up his own mind, so she secretly glanced at the blond swordsman beside him.

"So, fellows, what do you think?"

"I think there should be no problem." The high-ranking mage showed a certain look.

"Our food is almost finished, and we may not be able to replenish it by hunting in the mountains." Rennes looked at the bag on his back.

"What do you think of Kaos?"

"The average altitude of the first ridge of Mount Yahwey is 3,700 meters. As we all know, the huge mountains are the gathering place of all beings in the spiritual realm. The higher the number of elemental spirits, the more difficult to control them That means that Xiu Yin ’s spells will fail. We ca n’t rely on magic to protect ourselves from the cold or protect ourselves. If we do n’t use special tools, climbing will be very difficult, and the security will not be guaranteed. In fact, I originally I was going to find some climbing tools and lifeline. "Roland glanced at the boy next to him." Ghost, should your village have these things? "

"Of course ~! In the busy village, many people came to us to buy it ~! There are still many stocks in the smithy ~!" Frond answered loudly.

"So, that's it!" Catoli nodded confidently. "Let's go to Enoch Village ~!"

One day after the travelers from Luvis made a decision, the crystal ball in Fahdodo's Fifth Search Group suddenly got rid of the dormant state-a certain wave awakened it. In the purple transparent body of the crystal ball, the shining water-blue light explained everything to the mage who was watching-the target has appeared in the capture range of a radius of 60 kilometers ~! Thirty minutes later, communications sent this emergency information to the necromancer.

"After two full months, did the cautious prey finally relax their vigilance?" Thomas smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I knew that this plan would be successful ~!"

The area behind the Santill Hills is an open area. In order to prevent the target from slipping through the fingers, Austin mobilized a large number of troops to conduct a carpet-like search in the area where Catoli and his party may appear in spite of the dissatisfaction of the king and the nobles. , But with little effect-the only clue is the team of scouts disappearing in Mount Rubis, so far it has not been investigated exactly what happened.

In the end, Austin decided to pin all hope on the hint given by the mysterious mage-"The colorful aurora appeared in the west of the star capital ... the goddess will destroy it at all costs"-the elite of the Knights They were therefore concentrated at the foot of the legendary Star City, Mount Yahevi.

But in the face of this ancient giant, it is completely impossible to implement a blockade by a small human being, and the magic line power embedded in Xiu Yin ’s clothes is too weak. For this reason, the Necromancer has spared no expense in a few days. Dozens of crystal **** specially used to receive the signal were quickly rushed out, and each search team was allowed to carry one and wait for the rabbits within the designated range.

Now, the careless moth is finally stuck on this elaborate spider web, and even better, the moth has no knowledge of it.

"Already found a target? Well, I don't need to stay here, please tell me where the prey is, Master Thomas." A shadowy warrior stepped out of the dark place of his habitat and outlined a black cloak. His extremely thin body, his face covered by the black veil also looked dark and horrible. If it were not for the cruel coldness revealed by the pupils deeply in his eyes, perhaps everyone would regard him as a dead body.

"They are in Enoch Village. That small village is 140 kilometers from here. Emoro, I hope you and your men will arrive there before the moon sets tonight." The necromancer stared at each other, He said word by word, "At all costs, no one can let go. The four must be dragged before the Knights arrive."

"It was holding three people, Master Thomas, and killing the demon hunter who used the big sword at all costs." Emoro replied with a smile, with a dangerous vibrato in the hoarse tone, "I think it should be in the contract That's what it says, please don't change it casually, sir, otherwise everyone will have a hard time doing it. "

"Yeah ... kill one person and hold three."

"One more question ... if it was 'at all costs', then I guess the Cavaliers wouldn't mind me accidentally hurting those stupid villagers?"

"... Yes, but I remind you that it is best not to do anything extraordinary, otherwise I cannot guarantee the response of Lord Austin ~!" After a pause, Thomas finally suppressed the anger.

"I will remember." After bowing gracefully, the other party exited the tent. The necromancer couldn't see Emory's expression clearly, and the veil isolated everything, but he was almost sure that the guy hadn't planned to listen to himself from the beginning.

Forget it, in this case ... Just like what Austin said, if the country can be revitalized as a result, it's all worth it. Thomas thought dumbly, and finally shook his head, got up and strode to the camp of the Knight's Commander.

The cobweb has been dropped and the poisonous bee has been released. Then, as long as the moth gives the final blow before the moth notices, the victory and defeat can be divided.

The fate of Fahdodo and the Cavaliers will be decided tomorrow.
