The cloud moved, and the thin man sitting on the windowsill walked down.
The chains on the shackles made a crisp sound … He was really thin, and the shackles on his hands and feet seemed to be heavier than his weight.
"Alice …" The man called Mordred had a hoarse voice, as if his vocal cords had been burned.
"You haven't talked for a long time?" Miss Witch looked at him and shook her head. "But I'm not Alice. I'm her daughter, Ji Lian. "
"Daughter?" He looked a little confused, and then he was silent, as if he was recalling something.
The witch was also frowning. She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be talking to him. "Sixty years of imprisonment and the poison created by the collaboration of a hundred secret apothecaries of the Magician's Association has messed up your mind and memory … Look at me, Mordred. You should remember who you are."
He stood there motionlessly like a skeleton.
This castle had a terrible anti-magic ability … She couldn't use any power here. That was why Hopkins agreed to let her visit him. Even so, she was searched very carefully before the visit to make sure that she didn't hide anything.
But she still brought something with her. The witch lifted her skirt and put her hand under it. At this moment, there was a sensitive expression on her face. She was in a state of physical pleasure.
She sighed slowly, and her eyes were like phosphorescence … She took back her hand, and then there was a small glass bottle.
She took the bottle, walked slowly to Mordred, and opened the bottle. "It took me thirty years, and I was wanted by the Magician's Association for thirty years, to find the materials to make this Universal Deciphering Potion."
He didn't move, and was completely immersed in his own memories. Seeing this, Miss Witch had to pinch his chin and pour the liquid in the bottle into his mouth.
When the potion finally went down his throat and into his body, Miss Witch slowly stepped back. In fact, even she wasn't sure that this potion could break the poison in this man's body.
Time passed little by little … Mordred still stood there motionless. Ji Lian couldn't help but frown … did she fail?
Just as her heart sank, Mordred suddenly showed a pained expression. He grabbed his own neck and knelt on the ground, letting out a painful retching sound.
Black liquid was spat out from his mouth just like that … and accompanying it was an unpleasant stench.
This type of retching continued … the amount of black liquid Mordred spat out was even more than the amount of water his body was supposed to contain.
A lot of time had passed, much longer than the witches' visiting hours.
Finally, the black liquid in Mordred's body seemed to have been completely spat out … but he was still clutching his neck with both hands, kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
"What … what's wrong with you, Mordred?" Ji Lian asked hesitantly.
He raised his head and his eyes regained their clarity. At the same time, he slowly stood up. "I'm just sorting out the memories of the past few decades … Are you really Alice's daughter?"
"I inherited my mother's power and am also a Soul Witch." Ji Lian nodded. "Perhaps after we leave this castle, I can prove it to you … How do you feel? Has the antidote completely removed the poison in your body?"
"About 15% has been removed." Mordred was silent for a while. "But it's enough."
"Only 15%? How is that possible! " Ji Lian frowned and coldly snorted. "That damned Secret Pharmacist … He really didn't try his best!"
Mordred looked at his hands. "The poison in my body was made by hundreds of Secret Pharmacists, and there was no lack of Secret Pharmacists among them. Although I don't know the origin of the Secret Pharmacist you found, if he could do this alone, he can already be considered a genius … Moreover, 15% is enough. "
"Really?" Ji Lian was pleasantly surprised. "Are you sure you can leave this prison? To be honest, this is a gamble. If I can't wake you up … I'm afraid I'll be locked up here forever. The best outcome is that I'll be handed over to the Magician Association by the Round Table. "
"I'll leave here." As he spoke, he also looked at the witch. She didn't see a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
"But before you leave, you need to tell me … Why did you come to me and help me detoxify?"
"Akshay Record." The witch's eyes flashed with fanaticism. She said word by word, "Mordred, I need you … to help me get it."
"A document that can change history …" He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
The witch couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If the man in front of her didn't agree, then all her previous plans would probably …
"Okay, I promise you." He opened his eyes and nodded indifferently. "Consider it as a reward for bringing me the antidote … But you have to think about it. You only have this wish. If you use it, it's gone."
The witch chuckled. "It's said that no matter who it is, as long as they can save you from this prison, they can ask you to do one thing … I think my request isn't a waste. Although what I'm using is a favor from the strongest knight known as a Demigod. "
"A Demigod?" He looked at the witch strangely. Under her puzzled gaze, he said indifferently, "I'm not a Demigod for a long time … Let's go. After I help you find the document, I'll come back. The book here … I haven't finished reading yet. "
Come back …?!
She was shocked. She didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that Mordred had already walked out of the door, she had to quickly follow.
However, the shackles and chains on Mordred's hands and legs were still there … Listening to the sound of the chains dragging when he walked, the witch couldn't help but frown.
This so-called Demigod, the fiercest and evilest knight in history, seemed to be … very ordinary.
…
"Mr. Lino, it's been almost an hour!"
They began to remind Lino, who had been holding his sword since an hour ago … But he didn't respond. He just closed his eyes and was in the most solemn state of alert.
The subordinates didn't care … No one had ever been able to walk out of this prison.
For the past half a century, all the sinners who were locked in there eventually committed suicide out of madness — not only because there was a terrifying anti-magic power inside, but also because there were even more powerful guards inside.
…
"Why did you suddenly stop? There's still some distance to the door. "
The witch couldn't help but frown. She had walked this path before. At that time, she didn't think much of it, but she felt a little depressed because there were many knight statues on both sides of the path.
"You should step back a little. It's a little troublesome to go through here," Mordred suddenly said.
"Troublesome?" The witch was stunned.
He said casually, "These statues contain the heroic souls of the knights who sacrificed themselves in the past. They are at least at the level of a Grand Knight, and there are even Twelve Grand Knights … Of course, if they are just heroic souls, they can't be compared to when they were alive."
"They … these?" The witch frowned. "They are just ordinary statues."
"For you." Mordred said indifferently. He then took a step forward. "They will only wake up when I try to walk through here."
As if to prove what he said, the moment he took another step forward, the statues on both sides of the path suddenly opened their eyes.
A strong murderous aura was emitted from their bodies … and then gathered into a terrifying killing intent. In just a moment, the witch's face turned pale, as if her soul was pierced by countless sharp swords.
This is just the leakage of the aura … Ji Lian looked at the statues in horror as they 'came to life'. They walked down from the pedestals and pulled out their weapons at the same time.
'Impossible to get out! Impossible to get out! ' Ji Lian screamed in her heart.
Mordred continued to walk forward. "Although I don't know what method you used to get them to let you in and give you this opportunity to visit. But don't think that they are willing to give you a chance because you are smart. It's just because they have absolute confidence … Even if you come in, you can't do anything. "
She could only smile bitterly. These were the famous Grand Knights and the Twelve Round Table!
Suddenly, a statue of a knight holding a golden sword slowly walked in front of Mordred. It was at least two heads taller than Mordred.
Mordred looked up. "Cagin … Do you want me to kill you again?"
Cagin?
Ji Lian was very familiar with the history of the Grand Knights. She looked at the golden sword in the knight's hand and couldn't help but exclaim. "Cagin … Could he be the Golden Sky Knight who inherited the name of Gawain a hundred years ago, Cagin Alexander?"
Mordred looked back at Ji Lian. But at this moment, the knight statue in front of him slowly raised the golden sword in its hand and slashed down without any hesitation.
"Watch out!!" Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but cry out in fear … But at the same time, when the golden sword slashed down, her eyes widened.
That golden sword was extremely sharp, and with a portion of the power of a Celestial Gold Knight, it could even easily cut through a steel plate. However, such a sharp golden sword was unable to cut through Mordred's shoulder at this moment.
But the enormous force of the sword still caused Mordred's legs to sink into the ground … Could it be that his body was harder than steel? The witch opened her mouth slightly.
"Since you are already dead, it is better for you to rest in peace …" Mordred said indifferently. "Why should I stay in this world that is already doomed?"
The statue suddenly opened its mouth and let out a roar. It raised the sword again and slashed down.
But this time, Mordred raised his hands and the shackles on his hands were directly cut off. Mordred's figure instantly disappeared. At least, the witch couldn't see his movements.
In the blink of an eye, when she saw Mordred again, he was holding the golden sword in his right hand. And the arm of the Golden Sky Knight statue had disappeared.
"Rest in peace. It is useless to guard me."
As he said that, Mordred squatted down and placed the golden sword behind his back. He suddenly twisted his body and the golden sword slashed out from behind him.
The anti-magic power in the castle seemed to have ignored this man.
On the golden sword, a bright light was emitted. Then, the blade of the half-moon surged … and swept across!
One by one, the statues were sliced apart by the crescent-shaped sword light … The desolate killing intent that made Ji Lian tremble in fear instantly dissipated. In just a few short seconds, the corridor was left with countless pieces of rubble!
Streaks of light slowly rose from the shattered statues, then converged, spiraled, and turned into a spiral of light, directly colliding with Mordred.
He put down the golden sword in his hand and stretched out his left hand to block the spiral of light. The wind was like a hurricane. The anti-magic power in the castle was still in effect. The witch had no choice but to lean forward. But her body was still blown away by the strong wind.
Finally, the strong wind slowly dissipated … When everything calmed down, the witch saw Mordred standing in the middle of countless broken bodies.
For a moment, she thought she saw him standing in the middle of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Mordred lowered his head and gently lifted his left hand. In the center of his palm, there was a little light that looked like fireflies circling around … He slowly let out a breath and picked up a bottle from the ground.
This bottle seemed to be the weapon of some knight statue … Mordred put the little light into the bottle and slowly walked in front of Ji Lian. "Before we leave, help me keep this for me."
Her mind was blank. She instinctively took the bottle.
This guy, did he really only get rid of 15% of the poison in his body?
…
…
In front of the gate of the castle, the subordinates who had been waiting for a long time were all frowning.
"It's here."
Head Knight Lino suddenly said. At the same time, he slowly raised his hands … As he raised his hands, some light began to flash on his hands.
It turned out that he was not just holding a sword. Instead, he was really holding a … transparent sword!
Only when this sword moved and refracted light could they see it.
"It's here … what's here?" Everyone was stunned.
Boom –!!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
At this moment, the gate of the castle was directly broken by something. It split into two neat pieces and then directly shot out … Everyone was shocked and almost panicked when they saw this huge and thick gate coming at them.
Lino was the only one who didn't retreat at this moment. Instead, he stepped forward and waved the almost transparent sword in his hand … In an instant, he directly cut the two thick pieces of the gate into dozens of small pieces.
In the dust, two figures slowly walked out from the shadow of the gate … There was also the sound of the shackles on their feet clanking as they walked.
"She came out! Spirit Witch … Who is that next to her? "Everyone was shocked.
The clothes he wore were thin, and many parts of his clothes were worn out due to the passage of time … The man was carrying a big golden sword on his shoulder.
Lino took a deep breath and slowly straightened his body. His voice was heavy as he said, "Hundreds of heroic spirits of our ancestors and a hundred Gold-ranked magicians of the Magician Association worked together to set up the anti-magic force field. Is it still unable to stop you … Legendary knight, Mordred? It seems that letting this Spirit Witch visit the prison was a mistake from the beginning. "
Mordred tilted his head and looked at Lino. He casually said, "Don't think that this anti-magic force field is useless. After all, it is the product of hundreds of Gold-ranked magicians working together. But everything has a time limit, so naturally, there will be a time when it will weaken … In about thirty years, if it is not replenished, this force field will actually disappear by itself. "
Lino took a deep breath. At this moment, he gave an order that shocked all of his subordinates. He ordered everyone to flee immediately and report the information they had received.
"Mister Lino! We … "
"This is an order! Leave immediately! You must inform the knight organization! If anyone doesn't leave, I will immediately strip him of his status as a knight! "
"This …"
Everyone gritted their teeth and finally chose to obey this order … However, from the beginning to the end, Mordred did not have any intention of stopping them.
Mister Lino stood in front of Mordred and the Spirit Witch alone. That almost transparent sword was now flowing with green light … It was no longer invisible.
"Wind King … This is an imitation, right?" Mordred looked at it curiously. "You are this generation's prison guard? You can leave. All these years, you have worked hard guarding this prison for me. "
Great Knight Lino took a deep breath and said seriously, "To be able to battle with a hero from a hundred years ago … I don't want to give up this opportunity."
"Hero?" Mordred laughed, "It has been a long time since someone called me that."
Lino said, "No matter how many sins you have committed in the past … But, a hundred years ago, you were indeed a hero who participated in that great war. The number of evil souls that died in your hands was uncountable! Although I was not born when that great war happened, I believe that without you, it would have been impossible to win that war. So, at the very least, you are a hero who once saved the world. "
"Is that so?" Mordred suddenly lowered his head. His voice was so low that only he could hear it, "After so many years, do you still think that you have won? You really are hopelessly stupid … "
He suddenly waved the golden sword in his hand.
The light of the half-moon sword surged out. Its speed was so fast that Great Knight Lino could only block it — he could not even dodge it!
The blade that was flowing with green light was instantly shattered. The half-moon sword slashed his body and blasted him dozens of meters away.
"Just one hit …"
Great Knight Lino spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
