"Roar!"
The sun once again shone on the desert and burned the desert. The huge steel lion raised its mighty head and roared towards the heavens and earth. Another roar symbolizing the victory.
The battle was over.
After the area where the commander was suspected to be was covered by the light rain shot by Lancelot, the remaining black-spectacled dogs immediately fell into a state of chaos and fled in all directions.
"It's over."
This was the sigh of Barnilla, who had risked his life to run over from Geelfe City to check the situation after the battle ended.
Perhaps he had imagined how Qiligu would go on a killing spree and get rid of the Black Lightning Brigade that had come to offend Geoffrey City. However, he had never imagined that this battle, which he had thought would be a one-to-three battle, would turn into a one-to-one battle with a one-to-four battle with a one-to-one disparity in strength.
Moreover, the huge steel lion standing in the center of the deep pit did not look like an artifact that could be created by the Empire or the Church.
"Barnilla. You came just in time. "
Just as Barnilla was lying on the edge of the deep pit and looking towards the center of the coffin, Ray Mingkai had already discovered his existence.
Not long after, Barnilla stood in front of the coffin in surprise and stared blankly at Fiana who was sleeping in the coffin forever.
"You, you're saying that all these things were caused by … Fiana?"
Qiligu was silent and only looked at Ray Mingkai. And Titania was the same.
Among all the people present, only Ray Mingkai knew what happened before.
"First of all. The Black Lightning Brigade should have nothing to do with the coffin. Otherwise, from the beginning, the enemy we would have to face would not be as simple as the black-spectacled dogs. "
Ray Mingkai slightly glanced sideways and found that the long-fanged lion had turned back into a White Cat and circled around the coffin a few times. But Ray Mingkai did not ask.
"After the coffin fell, the Black Lightning Brigade, including the Church's troops that were chasing Titania, should have been wiped out in an instant. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an empty AT station that started up for no reason. "
Hearing Ray Mingkai's words, Barnilla was stunned. He subconsciously looked around at the wasteland that was filled with the remains of the black-spectacled hounds and earth spiders.
It seemed that Barnilla was a little afraid that these corpses that should have been dead would suddenly jump up.
"They're completely dead. Don't worry! Banila. "
Ray Mingkai smiled and looked at State Zero, the White Cat that had jumped to the top of the coffin.
"How is it? State Zero. "
The White Cat, State Zero, squinted its eyes slightly and lay on top of the coffin. Its slender tail was swaying slowly at this moment.
"There are two ways."
The White Cat State Zero gestured with its paws and said slowly under Barnilla's surprised gaze.
"He … he spoke! Cat … Little Brother Kai, your cat spoke!! "
While Banila was surprised, he did not forget to look at the calm faces of Zyligu and Titania.
"Zyligu, your … cat spoke!"
But the surprised Banila realized that Zyligu was not surprised that the White Cat, State Zero, could speak. Instead, he was wondering why Banila was so surprised.
This was the message that Banila read from Zyligu's calm eyes.
"Sigh. Alright! I really can't compare to you guys! Continue speaking! Master Cat. "
In the end, Banila was defeated by Zyligu and Titania, who were so careless that they could almost ignore everything that went against common sense.
"Are you surprised that I can speak? Human, there are many secrets in this world that you can't touch! "
The White Cat, State Zero, mocked Banila a little and continued to gesture with its paws.
"The first way. Then let me take out the fragments buried in this woman's body. But if I do so, this woman's body will probably disintegrate on the spot and disappear from this world. "
As soon as the White Cat finished speaking, a murderous aura suddenly rose.
"Hey hey! I haven't finished speaking! Don't be in a hurry to kill me! Although you can't kill me. After all, no matter how strong your fate is, you can't kill the world. "
The White Cat, State Zero, laughed and was not disturbed by Zyligu's murderous aura at all.
"Continue speaking! State Zero. "
When the White Cat, State Zero, said the first way, Ray Mingkai had already guessed what the next way was.
In the end, this might be the tacit understanding between Ray Mingkai and the White Cat.
As long as Ray Mingkai slightly expressed his thoughts, the White Cat, State Zero, might cooperate with him tacitly.
Right now, wasn't it the same?
The White Cat, State Zero, gently lowered its paws. The sharp claws hidden in the thick meat pads slowly scraped the layer of cold metal surface under its paws.
"I know you guys want to save this woman. Therefore, the second way is to bring this coffin back to our hometown and let our researchers study how to liberate this woman while deciphering the technology on it. "
As soon as the White Cat, State Zero finished speaking, Zyligu and Titania's sharp eyes simultaneously looked at Ray Mingkai.
At this moment, it was undoubtedly the time for Zyligu and Titania to speak frankly.
The two of them, who had always been suspicious of Ray Mingkai's intentions, finally understood Ray Mingkai's goal.
Of course.
This was what Zyligu and Titania thought.
"Your target is Zyligu?" Titania spoke first. Her gaze became sharper, as if as long as Ray Mingkai admitted this point on the spot, she would immediately kill Ray Mingkai.
"Don't! Don't be nervous! Titania. Your body can't take much of the impact anymore. " As soon as Ray Mingkai saw the undisguised killing intent in Titania's eyes, he immediately spread out his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
Then, Ray Mingkai didn't care if Titania responded to his words, he turned his head to look at the silent Zyligu.
"Zyligu Chubi. Someone who cannot be contacted. As long as you still exist in this world, you and the people around you will be attacked and even hunted down because of this name. Without a doubt, this resounding reputation is a curse for you. "
As he spoke, Ray Mingkai noticed something different in Zyligu's calm gaze.
He seemed to be wavering.
"Zyligu. If this world curses you, then how about going to a new world? One where no one else knows you except me. Needless to say, knowing the reputation, curse, and even sin you carry. "
As he said this, Ray Mingkai raised his head slightly and looked at the White Cat, State Zero.
"Moreover, this big block, and Fiana, who is sleeping inside, I may have a way to solve it. Also, I can solve the problem of her and Titania. "
At the same time, Ray Mingkai straightforwardly pointed out Zyligu and Titania's current situation.
Time passed bit by bit. Barnilla opened his mouth a few times, but he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say a word. He could only silently look at Zyligu, who was standing beside the coffin, thinking about something.
"Is what you said true?"
After a long silence, Titania spoke first.
Indeed.
Titania had reached the end of her life.
Although she didn't end up dying in the chaotic battle like in the original novel, where she finally died in Zyligu's arms, the scythe of the Grim Reaper hanging above Titania's head was still about to chop off Titania's neck.
"You can only trust me, Titania."
Ray Mingkai said lightly.
Titania was silent.
In order to continue living, she didn't hesitate to take the risk of being hunted down and went through all the research centers of the Church's surviving warriors.
Therefore, Titania could be said to have made a choice.
Now, it was up to Zyligu.
Zyligu slowly raised his head, walked to the side of the coffin, and reached out his hand to touch the glass, as if he was caressing Fiana's sleeping face.
"I'll go."
A simple and calm answer.
— — —
"Pa!"
In the darkness, a light lit up, exposing a man standing in the darkness to everyone's sight.
The man's face was mainly black, and his expression was neither sad nor happy. His body was covered in a black robe.
“MR.K。 Although you're a newcomer to the organization, you failed your first mission, causing our organization's precious sample to fall into the hands of the enemy. What are you thinking about this sin? "
In the darkness, a thunderous voice rolled out, constantly echoing in this pitch-black space.
"Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be investigated. That's all. "
The masked man's voice didn't change at all. It was still calm.
"Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be investigated! Since you've said so, then we'll do as you wish. "
As soon as the thunderous voice fell, the pitch-black space in front of the masked man was suddenly torn apart by cracks.
"Ka!"
As the dense, wandering cracks rapidly spread, the pitch-black space in front of the masked man shattered.
In the mirage that seemed to be refracted by glass, a staircase appeared.
The staircase supported by countless gears appeared one by one in front of the masked man, and it continued to extend forward until it connected with the light spot that appeared in the sky. On the side of the staircase supported by countless gears, there were countless Knight figures holding sharp swords erected.
“MR.K。 If you still want to join the organization, and still want to use your real name to inherit "your" legacy, then step on this staircase and become our comrade! “
"Buzz buzz!!"
A buzzing sound rang out, and the countless gears supporting the flight of stairs immediately began to revolve.
The masked man knew that as long as he stepped on this staircase, he would definitely be crushed by the countless gears if his footsteps were not steady.
Moreover …
The masked man's gaze moved up and looked at the Knight figures holding sharp swords.
This was also a weapon that could inadvertently launch a fatal blow.
"I suggest that you don't take this path. It's just a mere loss. "
Suddenly, a voice that the masked man was familiar with, but full of hatred, sounded.
"Doctor! Zisali! "
The masked man muttered the name of the man who appeared beside him in a low voice.
"That's me. Your Majesty, please welcome back! "
Inadvertently, the man in the white coat who appeared in front of the masked man bowed respectfully to him.
"I'm not your Majesty." The masked man glanced at the man in the white coat, and then continued to look at the staircase that led to the sky.
"Your Majesty. This is the Staircase of Seven Words. As long as you successfully climb this staircase, you will become one of the Seven Knight of our organization. "
"Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"
Doctor Zisali's voice became lower and lower.
The masked man was silent, but he resolutely took a step forward and walked to the front of the staircase.
"If I hadn't thought it through, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to come here."
Cisali turned around and looked at the masked man's back with a smile, but he didn't say anything. Only when he saw the masked man raise his hand and take off the emotionless mask on his face did he reveal a trace of surprise.
"Your Majesty. It seems that you've made your decision. "
"No. I'm not your Majesty. I'm just a pitiful person who wants to find his sister. "
"Clang!"
The emotionless mask was casually thrown to the ground by the man.
Then, the man raised his right foot and slowly but firmly stepped on the first step of the staircase.
At this moment, a female scream suddenly sounded.
"Wait! Lu Luxiu! What do you want to do!! "
In the midst of the scream, a girl in a black dress with long green hair scattered messily rushed out from the darkness.
The man stopped and smiled slightly.
"Hehe! I was wondering who it was! So it's you! C.C。”
"Lu Luxiu! What are you trying to do! Even if it's to find Li Lina, you don't have to go to this extent! Do you think Li Lina will forgive you after you find her? "
C.C quickly walked past Doctor Zisali and rushed to the man's side.
"Probably … not!"
Although a trace of frustration flashed in his eyes, the man's eyes still flashed with determination.
"But there are some things that must be done, and I must do them. C.C。 Do you still remember our contract? Now is the time for me to fulfill the contract. "
The man turned his head and reached out to stroke the messy hair by C.C's ear, then resolutely turned around and stepped on the staircase that extended upwards in front of him, called the Staircase of Seven Words.
"Ta!"
The man's footsteps landed steadily on the first step.
C.C's eyes widened slightly. She knew that the man in front of her could no longer be stopped. The only thing that could stop him was perhaps death.
Doctor Zisali, who was standing further behind, bowed slightly to the man who stepped on the Staircase of Seven Words.
"Ka!"
"Ka!"
The second step.
The moment the man stepped on the second step of the staircase, the bust of the Knight standing on both sides of the staircase immediately trembled.
Sharp swords.
The swords in their hands also began to tremble.
It was as if they wanted to erase from this world the rude person who dared to step on this staircase and offend the Staircase of Seven Words.
Seeing this, the man, the young man in a black robe, named Lu Luxiu, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and loudly cursed the curse in his heart.
"The world is the shell, we are the chicks …"
