High Above

When everyone in the Huaiguang Rescue Team discovered that they had indeed arrived at the exit of the maze and had rescued all the people they could rescue, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and their spirits were lifted a lot.

Even, there is some disbelief.

Everything seems to start with meeting the mysterious 'Knight of the Glen'.

Not long ago, the entire rescue team was still immersed in the grief of losing two long-time comrades, and there were also flesh-and-blood shapeshifters in the team that were extremely hidden and difficult to find - if it weren't for the prestige of the Holy Priest of the Light, everyone would be surprised. With some hope, the average team would seem to be inseparable at this time, or even fall apart.

However, the Knight of the Glen suddenly appeared and found the flawless shapeshifter with one shot... Then, like a prophet, he led everyone smoothly to their destination, the place where the souls are bound.

Well, I can't say it was smooth. But it is completely different from the previous experience of a hard battle or cautious exploration every time I went to the small garden. With the adventure master of the Glen Knight, all the dangers and obstacles seemed insignificant.

If there are enemies, the Knights of Rivendell and the Executioners will force a way.

There are dangerous terrains, and the Knights of the Glen can see through them as soon as they arrive, and then alert everyone and tell them how to deal with them.

There are ambushes and traps, and the Knight of the Valley can even foresee them in advance - with his rich experience, he can even detect this one or two times before making a decision in the small garden, so that everyone knows it.

It is naturally a great comfort to have such an adventure master in the team. Obviously the enemy is still the same enemy, even stronger, but it is seven or eight times easier.

As the saying goes, if you always walk in the valley, how can you not make a mistake? But the Knight of the Glen seemed to never make a mistake. He walked fast and steadily no matter how dangerous the road was.

Of course, the opponent's strength is also quite strong - no matter who it is, they have never seen such a powerful earth sublimator. The opponent's strength, defense and resistance to all kinds of weakening make people feel that he is simply A solid humanoid forged from a single piece of alloy steel.

How could there be such a hard guy?

And then, this mysterious knight suddenly received the favor of this subspace!

The Huaiguang rescue team naturally didn't know about the plans of the Dead Lord and Duke Thorin. They just came here to save people. Although some souls were not saved, there was nothing they could do. After all, there were no knights in the world of Terra. Souls can live forever, but if you save them, you still have to wait for them to dissipate.

The souls of dragons and goblins are special. One is that Xiou is not dead, and goblins can be reincarnated, so they need to be saved... As for Lubeck, who is now the 'Red Blade', he is a reserve priest of Huaiguang.

Therefore, they were surprised and delighted by the power that appeared in the Knight of the Glen.

In any case, the Knights of the Valley have no intention of harming them - this can be regarded as the way of life of the Huaiguang Church.

Therefore, when everyone in the rescue team heard Ian seriously saying that he wanted to separate from them and that he had to stay alone in the subspace maze due to some tasks, some people felt something was wrong and wanted to persuade Ian .

"Knight of the Glen, although I believe you have a very important task to do..."

The person who spoke was Yingguang. This dragon nun had a very keen perception - Ian had already known this from the behavior of the other party's investigator led by Yu Lean - she stared at Ian's now scarlet eyes, seriously Said: "But don't forget, when things don't work out, you must leave in time and keep yourself available."

With that said, she gave Ian a bottle of potion: "This is the light element purification potion unique to the Huaiguang Church. It can create ultra-high-temperature strong light explosions that can cause damage to even adamantine armor. It was originally intended to be used It is used to clear a large number of weak enemies blocking the road under special circumstances and clear the way for the troops to retreat."

"Now that we are about to retreat, it is no longer of use, but for you, the lethality of the light purification agent will definitely be useful."

really! Ian's eyes lit up. This is the unique attack potion of Huaiguang Church. It's a brand new formula! Maybe you can learn the unique alchemy of Huaiguang from it?

However, he acted more reserved and could not be as excited as an alchemist curious to learn. He could only simply nod his head to express his gratitude.

But the question is, what are special circumstances.

I asked as soon as I thought of it. Under the confused inquiry of the Knight of the Valley, Sister Yingguang paused hesitantly, and then said rather embarrassedly: "This is... a glorious bomb."

Ian understood. It seems that the Huaiguang Rescue Team came here with the intention of dying from the very beginning... which is very different from someone like him who already knows many things through his prophetic ability.

"I can only say that the greatest courage of a prophet is to walk towards a dead end even though he knows it is a dead end."

He thought in his mind: "In other words, there is only a dead end ahead. No matter how you choose or predict, you can only go on with firm confidence."

In addition, everyone else in the rescue team also said goodbye to Ian.

They did not persuade Ian to leave with them, because they knew very well that if people like the Knights of the Glen decided to stay, it would be the same as when they came to the subspace maze. They definitely had the beliefs in their hearts and the tasks that must be completed. - Advising the other person to stay away from danger is an insult to the other person.

"You must survive. If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can do a mission together!"

The bird archer who was quite familiar with him before and took the initiative to chat with Ian even slipped a note with the names of several taverns she frequented in the eastern plains of the empire.

Of course, it's not just because of Ian's appearance... Although there is indeed a reason why she likes this, in fact, it is also because of the qualities that Ian revealed along the way that make her quite moved.

After serving Huaiguang for so many years, spending so long with people who are truly morally perfect, coupled with his own talent, the bird archer has long had the ability to read people.

She can clearly see a person's nature and see what a person is thinking from his eyes.

Is it about yourself or about other people; is it about small happiness or about grand dreams.

Cheerful and dull, or wise and foolish. Are you brave and cowardly, or cautious and bold?

She can see clearly whether he is wise or sinister, upright or old-fashioned.

But Knight of the Glen...is very different.

He is very different.

——He is always thinking about things that are very far away, very unrealistic, and even impossible.

——His action this time was a grand dream born out of the misfortune of many people.

——He is both for himself and for others.

Under the majesty of the Rivendale Knight, who was like the dead and filled with the terrifying silence of the underworld, the Birdman Archer, who was watching from a distance to guard the rescue team, saw a more vivid person.

He will sincerely share knowledge that he finds useful, and will eat bad-tasting dry food with everyone. Although he is very indifferent on the surface, you can actually see the anger hidden behind his indifference.

Anger at everything he saw along the way.

Of course, this is a flaw that Ian would not reveal with his original appearance and body.

Ian has always paid close attention to it. He knows that in the continent of Terra, there are some talented people who can see huge flaws in some subtle things - among other things, the ability to read minds is not nonsense, Ian He has always used psychic energy to protect his brain, lest someone accidentally read out any secrets.

He didn't even dare to be angry or happy at will.

Therefore, using the appearance of his previous life, Ian would always involuntarily act more realistically.

In a sense...it can be considered a disguise.

A disguise called reality.

"I'll leave the dragon's soul to you. Let the fairies give it to you too. It's a hot potato."

With that said, Ian entrusted the crystal pillar containing Xiou's soul and the fairy's soul to Huijian. He noticed Xiou's mental fluctuations, so he gave the dragon a "Don't expose my true identity" Identity's warning fluctuates.

——Don’t be reluctant to leave. Get out of here quickly. You can meet me anytime when I return to Nanling.

"Huaiguang Church thanks you for your courageous act."

At the same time, he was still having mental communication with Huijian: [You should know who to hand over to - if it doesn't work, you can hand it over to me after I get out, but it's best for you to take action, which is in line with common sense]

[You really don’t seek fame and wealth, a saint with great brilliance is nothing more than that]

Huijian flattered Ian for a moment, and then informed Ian of their plan: [Next, our team will go to Azure City to rest for a while. If necessary, we can go to Azure City after leaving the maze. Meet us by chance - we can testify for you... Prove that you have never left the Azure City]

【That would be great】

Ian nodded slightly. He nodded to everyone in the rescue team and watched them disappear one after another at the door of the subspace exit.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the light of scarlet and pure gold in the precognitive vision, which represented 'danger' and 'opportunity'.

This scarlet light, mixed with golden brilliance, is like that midnight many years ago, or like the Great Maze in the South China Sea half a year ago.

This is enough to change his destiny, and it can even be said to be a sign of a 'path'.

--really.

Alone, or in other words, leading Frost Butterfly all the way to the deepest part of the subspace labyrinth.

At this moment, Ian felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, the real gains will only appear in the face of danger.

If he hadn't insisted on looking back, insisting on searching for the truth about the deceased king, and the reasons behind all this... this golden light would not have appeared at all.

so……

All this pain and despair will have an end.

Staring at the road ahead, Ian's whole body was filled with a biting cold air. It was both the frost brought by the goblin blood and the resentment flowing from the many souls in his body.

The time has come to end it all.

Ian stepped forward amid the cheers of the dead.

The second dead king walked towards the second path he chose.
