High Above

The Golden Wilderness was noisier at night than during the day, especially when a light rain fell in the evening, which accelerated the flow of rivers along the way and made both sides of the road muddy.

But now, the rain has stopped, and many creatures that are only active at night have begun to crawl out of the caves, absorb the water from the mud pits and rivers, and start their own foraging and hunting.

The Guta Basin, located in the Golden Fields and close to the Nine-Xuan Abyss, has a geological landscape that is very different from other areas in the Golden Fields. Its soil layer is quite thin, and dark gray rock blocks can be seen protruding from the soil layer from time to time. , and layers of rock plants grow and grow from the cracks in these rocks, forming patches of stone forests standing on the rock formations.

Magnet Knight Chris doesn't like this environment. He is good at manipulating metals and interfering with the operation of precision instruments. He has no fear even against armored men and armors with bare hands.

His strongest area is fighting in battle formations and cities - the enemy's swords will become his swords, and the surrounding buildings and equipment will become his ammunition.

"He is indeed related to the Dragon Worship Cult and is very familiar with him...at least you didn't lie to me about this."

On the other side, Knight Zifeng narrowed his eyes tightly and stared at the fire in the stone forest in the distance: "I recognize one of those two mountain people. He is an important member of the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult and often appears with Manya. "

"His appearance is very similar to Anfa. I originally thought it was a deception. Now that I think about it, the connection between them is closer than I thought. Otherwise, Anfa would not have been able to bring important things alone."

Magneto doesn't care about the feud between Canaan Moore and the Dragon Worship Cult. His only goal is the young knight at the bonfire.

Someone who is most likely to know the real reason for Night Snake's death.

He met Ye Snake twenty years ago.

At that time, Magneto was not Magneto, but a newly promoted Huazhe who defended the Knights, a future star who was sent to the imperial capital for professional training.

There, he met Night Snake, who was three years younger than him. A genius biological alchemist.

At that time, the two did not have much close friendship until thirteen years later.

Thirteen years later, Magneto has become the second level, the leader of the Defending Knights, and one of the strongest sublime forces under the Marquis.

But compared to the young knight who was full of confidence and full of expectations for the future, he has lost most of his enthusiasm for struggle now.

Whether it is to become stronger or to advance further in his position, he has no hope... But in fact, this is not important. After all, the third level is extremely rare. In addition to talent, it also depends on the individual's soul. Transformation, and working for the Marquis of Barton and repaying him for his kindness is what he is more than willing to do.

He just doubted, doubting whether he could only do this in his life.

Will he be able to spend his whole life just wandering around Nanling, suppressing some rebellious mountain natives, exterminating some crazy monsters and aliens, and battling wits and courage with spies and cults from all over the world?

Magneto is unwilling to give in.

He wants to become a hero, a legend that can be praised in future generations, not just an ordinary knight leader like a firefighter under Marquis Barton.

He feels that he is special. Since he has the talent and opportunity to become an Ascended One, why can't he do it...

What about doing something ‘big’?

He wants to do big things.

No matter what the big deal. He wants to be someone who can leave his name in history, like the former Black King's first knight. Even if he disappears for decades, everyone will involuntarily get excited when his name is mentioned, and they will slow down their voices and show awe. That kind of person.

But he never found such an opportunity.

Until one day, he also met two people in this golden field.

One of them is Night Snake.

And the other one... was the person who changed the rest of his life.

[Chris... your desire is not big, but it is very pure - you want to be famous and be admired and envied by others. Everyone thinks so, there is no need to be ashamed]

[It's just that you don't have that chance... Under Barton's command, you don't have the chance to become a better person... to show your true potential]

[Look, Chris. There are always endless evils in this land. The nobles are singing and dancing, the people are short of food and clothing, there are foreign enemies looking at you, and there are various ministries with evil intentions inside... Since the death of my grandfather, the empire that was once prosperous has declined to what it is today, and my father can barely hold on to it. The frontier, but that’s all, and it gradually fell into madness]

【This is sin. People cannot understand each other. The nobles do not understand the pain of the common people, and the common people do not understand the uneasiness of the sublimated people. Everyone can only think of their own interests, so there will be conflicts, wars, humiliation, oppression and Exploitation]

[The minds of all people are in a mess, and countless purposes are intertwined to map out this world full of pain. Only by sorting out all these thoughts and interests can the chaotic threads be unified and pointed in one direction]

【True happiness can come】

[I want to change this country, change this land...but before that, Chris]

【I need your strength】

A kind of magic.

A kind of magic that confuses people's hearts.

Maybe it's a kind of spiritual power, or maybe it's just a matter of words?

They talked a lot that night.

Dissatisfaction with the existing system, confusion about the ongoing suffering in this land, and boredom and hatred for a world that has remained unchanged for decades.

They are all the same. This is true whether it is Magneto Guang himself, Night Snake, or even His Highness.

After just one night of long talk, the Magnet Knight made up his mind to truly be loyal to His Highness.

All things are united? Do all living beings understand each other?

No, no, no, this is not his purpose, this is not his desire.

He just understands that His Highness's ideals and goals are far greater and more meaningful than all the things he has to do now.

In this vast possibility, Magneto was excited, trembling, and his whole body was trembling.

Between the fear, he also felt an unprecedented desire.

If I could become part of His Highness’s power and become a member of His Highness’s ‘big cause’.

perhaps……

He can become the legend he wants to be in the future and be praised by everyone.

Be part of the legend of the future.

[Ye Snake is a member of the Lingzhi Academy and has considerable talents, but he is bullied by the bachelors within the Lingzhi Academy. There has been no change for many years]

[He will be your future colleague in Nanling - you two seemed to have known each other back then? Remember to get along well, your cooperation will release a power far more powerful than yourselves alone]

[We all have the same dream and the same belief. This is the source of our strength]

The magnetic light gradually retrieves the memory.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, staring in Ian's direction.

Ye Snake's death not only meant that one arm of the organization in Nanling was cut off, but also affected His Highness's plan - the Nanling Branch of the Lingzhi Academy that Ye Snake was responsible for contained many technologies that were very important to the organization. , although those technologies originated from bloody human experiments, this is a necessary sacrifice for major events.

Besides, that’s not what they want to do. That was all what the Lingzhiyuan had to do, and they were just watching.

"etc."

Suddenly, the Zifeng Knight frowned slightly. She raised her hand and issued a warning: "There seems to be no life in the stone forest in front?!"

"The guide knight is missing?"

Magnetic Light suddenly woke up, and he suddenly realized that something was very wrong with his previous state.

He was disturbed by some external force and fell into memories, wasting too much time.

"We're exposed!"

Standing up, the Magnetic Light Knight looked around - and sure enough, he saw many scattered 'Worry Stone Mines' scattered around the stone forest!

This natural psychic ore can induce people to fall into the memory fragments that have the deepest impression on him and have the greatest impression on him, and fall into worry and worry, hence the name - and just at the edge of the golden field, there is a place of worry. Stone mine!

As an alchemist, how could the Guide Knight not buy it?

And it was these things that inadvertently made Magneto, who had planned to attack directly, fall into memories, wasting an excellent attack opportunity!

Could it be said that at that time, the guide knight already knew that someone was following him behind his back, so he purchased these minerals as a trap?

Without enough time to think about it, the Magnet Knight raised his hand, and the countless pitch-black magnetic sand on his armor began to rotate rapidly in the flashes of arc lightning, stirring the surrounding atmosphere and forming a sand-iron wind with his arm as the core. column.

The next moment, the lightning flashed, and the tiny iron sand was stimulated by the high-speed lightning. It was surrounded by a large number of sparks that shot out in mid-air, heading towards the direction where the guide knight was before, the stone forest. The fire in the sky rushes away!

Hundreds of arcs of fire intertwined together, turning into destructive power beyond that of alchemical artillery, bombarding the bonfire with a shrill roar that ripped apart the atmosphere.

boom! In an instant, there was a violent explosion in the stone forest, and countless iron sands flew across, carrying subtle magnetism and electricity. Even if someone was hiding in the corner of the stone forest, it was impossible to hide.

However, his attack completely missed.

Because at this moment, from the sky, there came a voice that was extremely unfamiliar to them, but they instinctively felt the crisis.

Zhi——collapse!

Something happened yesterday. I was very tired after working all day. I really couldn’t write the third chapter...

But just in time, tomorrow we will completely solve all the troubles in Nanling, set off to the Imperial Capital, and start a new chapter!
