Kewen Village west, Goddess Mountain down.
This is the ancient ruins of Griffin Knights.
This hidden valley is still quiet, as if there is nothing there.
But after walking through the valley, things suddenly opened up.
The gate at the entrance to the ruins has been repaired, the suspension bridge has been pulled up, and the once rusty iron chains have been carefully maintained and seem to have been oiled.
The black metal relief on the door has also been re-polished. The ebony griffon relief looks like it is about to spread its wings and has a door knocker embedded in its claws.
The sound of the rushing river behind him was quite loud, covering up the movement inside the door, but Li Ang could sense that there should be many people inside.
"Dong dong dong!"
Li Ang walked forward and knocked on the door with the knocker.
The movement inside the door suddenly disappeared.
"Open the door! I am Li Ang!"
Li Ang simply shouted.
The door didn't open, but a head popped out of the wall at the top of the door.
"... Hmph! Three Prophets, right? Don't try to lie to us! Brothers! Prepare for battle!"
This is the voice of Charles.
At this time, Charles was wearing black inlaid armor and holding a bow in his hand.
But the problem is...Charles actually aimed his bow and arrow at Li Ang...
"Charles... you don't even recognize me anymore?!"
Li Ang is almost angry. I haven't seen him for more than a year. Is this guy going to rebel?
Charles on the wall seemed hesitant, and another head popped up, that was Dalion.
"This guy looks pretty good... Hey! If you are Lord Li Ang, then you must know who I am, right?"
Dalion muttered, then shouted to Li Ang.
"Dalion, open the door for me! Otherwise I will definitely beat you up again!"
Li Ang was angry--These two guys actually thought they were fake?
Dalion was stunned, and looked at each other with Charles, who had the same dull expression. The two began to talk to each other. "Does he really know? His tone is so arrogant... Is this really Lord Li Ang?"
"It does sound a bit like... Did Ms. Wendy succeed?"
"Ahem... it's hard to say, what if it's a heresy's trick..."
"You two bastards...Charles! I deliberately blinded Eldred so that you could win the duel! Dalion, I beat you right here! Only I should know about these things!"
Li Ang is a little helpless--I just want to enter the residence that I spent money and people to build, but I didn't expect that I have to take a medical test...
"Ah! Sir! It's really you! Hahahaha..."
Charles threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and hurriedly went to open the door.
Dalion swallowed and walked out weakly. "Lord Li Ang? You actually..."
"I'm actually still alive, right?"
Li Ang curled his lips. "Don't you think I'm dead?"
"Ahem... no... there is... that..."
Charles and Dalion suddenly became very uncomfortable at the same time.
Li Ang suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Dalion and then at Charles.
There was indeed excitement in the eyes of these two guys about meeting old friends again, but it seemed more like embarrassment?
Li Ang walked into the station confused, and then became furious.
"Who the hell built a tomb for me?! I'm not dead yet!"
There is a very conspicuous tomb in the station - the tombstone reads "Here lies the brave and fearless King of Pendor, Li Ang·His Majesty Griffin."
No wonder these two bastards looked embarrassed...
"Tell me, who is buried in the tomb? It's King of Pendor... why don't you say the King of the World?"
Seeing one's own grave with one's own eyes is indeed a bit... that is, Li Ang has not fully recovered from his injuries, otherwise Dalion and Charles's legs will definitely be broken...
"The tomb is empty..."
Dalion lowered his head and smiled, "We thought you had... And you also know that with our status, we cannot be loyal to any country. But if it is to avenge you, the brothers will get many opportunities..."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Dalion seems to have become a lot more, and his speech has become more organized.
"So... do the others also think I'm dead?"
Li Ang suddenly calmed down, and he realized that although he was a little disturbed by the fact that he was 'deathed', it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
"To be honest... Sir, except His Majesty Amy and Miss Wendy, everyone thinks that you... ahem, I'm just telling the truth, don't beat me..."
Charles answered carefully.
"Alas... I have no intention of beating you... Don't you know yet? Kewen Village was massacred..."
Li Ang sighed and turned to talk about Kewen Village.
"Massacre?! How could that happen? Everything was fine the day before yesterday... I just went to Countess and bought a lot of wine the day before yesterday!"
Dalion frowned.
"Who did it?... Ma'am... how is she...?"
Charles looked at Li Ang's face and realized something.
"Everyone in Kewen Village is gone... Madam and all the other nobles were killed."
Li Ang looked at the two of them. "You are so close, yet you didn't notice anything?"
Dalion sat down on the ground.
Charles stood there motionless.
They really didn't find it.
Because, in the station of Griffin Knights, in addition to the team led by the two of them, there is another unit that is undergoing reorganization.
'The Noisy One' Alaric's Drunkards' Brigade.
Dalion is trying to reorganize the people of Drunkards' Brigade.
Therefore, they have not left the station in the past few days.
Reorganizing Drunkards' Brigade was actually Alaric's wish, but at this time Alaric was already very ill and was lying very weak in the station.
The alcoholic leader now has deep-set eye sockets, and his thin face is supported by his cheekbones. The originally developed muscles have completely disappeared. He is skinny, breathing weakly, and looks like he may die at any time.
"What's wrong with him? He wouldn't be like this just from drinking, would he?"
Li Ang Looking at the haggard Alaric, it's hard to imagine that this is the same macho man who was able to fight on foot and force himself to attack with a lance.
"Last year, he went crazy once..."
Dalion was talking melancholy next to them about everything they had experienced.
In the past two years, Dalion and Charles have actually done a lot of things.
Two years ago, after receiving funding from Li Ang, this abandoned ruins was rebuilt and the ebony mine was mined.
After Kewen Village was harmed by Alanric Prince, Dalion and Charles killed all the gangsters left in the village and formed Griffin Knights.
However, since then, Dalion has not mentioned any goals such as "restoring the country".
While they were protecting the village, they were also doing chivalrous acts everywhere - such as getting rid of Elfred and Leofwan.
It was these two guys and Alanric who caused the disaster to Kewen Village, and Dalion wanted to avenge the villagers who had always protected him.
Alanric Prince died at the hands of the heretic Fallen One, so there was no need for revenge, but Eldfried and Leofwan were still living happily, and they were both Lion Knight Order's people.
Dalion led Griffin Knight to kill Elfred at Kailledanburg, and killed Leofwan at Harlingosburg.
This is the reason why Dalion and Charles suddenly disappeared when Li Ang was dealing with Aigrem. They were chasing the murderer thousands of miles away.
This revenge operation was very successful and had a great impact on the situation at that time - both Elfred and Leofwan were Brennus's people.
After Li Ang disappeared, Brennus originally launched a counterattack and once attacked Lion City.
If Elfred of Kailledanburg had not been killed at that time, then Lion City would probably have been surprised by Elfred at the most dangerous time.
At the same time, Harlingosburg was supposed to be the logistical support for Brennus.
But these two people were killed, resulting in Brennus failing to succeed in Lion City, and its retreat was not secured. Harlingosburg, which suddenly lost its commander, was captured by Godric and Kloze.
It can be said that Lionheart Kingdom can maintain the current situation entirely due to the revenge actions of Dalion and Charles - this may be a coincidence, but it is probably God's will.
When Brennus needed these two corrupt Lion Knight the most, these two guys died unexpectedly... Otherwise, Brennus might have been able to conquer Lion City, in turn, pointed out Amy as a rebel - under the circumstances at that time, if Brennus could attack Lion City, then he could indeed support little Princess as an orthodoxy!
However, the two young and reckless Avengers did not realize this at the time. They were just simply 'revenge'.
It was during that time that they also received news that Li Ang was missing.
And just after killing the two Lion Knight, Dalion encountered a miracle - the Supreme King ring in his hand suddenly glowed!
During those few days, Dalion had the same dream repeatedly. In the dream, Supreme King Kavala asked him to look for Dragon Tear and something called 'Abyssal Gate', saying that he could use these things to unify Pande Continent.
Supreme King of Pendor Kavala For Dalion, that is the supreme object of allegiance - he is not only King of Pendor, but also the founder of Griffin Knights. Since late king entrusts his dream, he must be obedient.
In Dalion's view, it was Supreme King who was guiding him to unify Pan De...
Dalion actually doesn't know what Abyssal Gate is, but he knows Dragon Tear--from Alaric.
When Dalion was captured by Duke Alma, Drunkards' Brigade's people inadvertently saved him.
Dalion is a straight-tempered person who repays kindness with enmity, so since then, he and Charles have been helping Drunkards' Brigade provide wine, and they are even friends with Alaric - although Alaric goes crazy when he doesn't drink, but when he has wine, he is actually a very easy to get along with.
Alaric also told Dalion about Dragon Tear.
Later, Dalion and Charles became two adventurers - for these two young people, late king Kavala's confession was more important than anything else.
Besides, after Li Ang disappears, Charles is effectively free. He is Oath Knight of Li Ang and is only loyal to Li Ang.
So they and Alaric went to Longsong Port - the place where Alaric found Dragon Tear.
Unexpectedly, they actually found a Dragon Tear again.
However, it wasn't from any box, but from a famous Raven Man.
That Raven Man is actually 'Raven Sir' Boris.
After Boris was led by Sigismund to Lion Lake City, he was basically defeated by Fallen One's army and was completely wiped out. However, he was lucky, and King Vidis allowed him to enter the city at the last moment.
After Aigrem was killed, Boris returned to Raven Territory and tried to recruit new troops. As a result, he had a fight with Alaric who was going crazy with alcohol in Longsong Port's tavern...
Speaking of which, this fight is very similar to the one Li Ang first fought in Lion City - in fact, they just started fighting after a disagreement. This is also a common show in the tavern, which is quite normal.
However, these two guys both possess unimaginable powers and almost demolished the tavern to the ground...
Even Longsong Port's city defense troops hid far away for fear of being accidentally injured.
In the end, 'Raven Sir' Boris unfortunately lost - to be honest, his skills were much better than Alaric, but the problem was that there were so many people around Alaric...
Although Dalion and Charles both have chivalry and do not help, Drunkards' Brigade's favorite thing is to fight in groups, and they do not pay attention to chivalry...
After a large group of drunkards swarmed and subdued Boris, Alaric took out a piece of Dragon Tear and a strange book from Boris.
But just after Dragon Tear and the book were obtained, Alaric suddenly went crazy, and then started to smash everywhere with a hammer as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
Dalion and Charles cooperated and finally managed to tie him up with chains from behind and brought him back to Lion Territory before the Crow Army came after them.
After that, Alaric continued to become weak.
"Wait... you said, Alaric found a strange book from Boris? What does that book look like and where is it now?"
Of course Li Ang knew that Dragon Tear would never do this to Alaric - and he didn't eat Dragon Tear.
But if it's a book... could that book be Abyssal Gate?
"We asked many people, and they all said that the book is Heretic Codex...Alaric is probably the reason why the code looks like this. We don't want such evil things to exist, so when we went to Lion City to assist Eric in disaster relief some time ago, we sank the book into Deerheart Lake to avoid harming others..."
Charles replied.
Eric and Dalion have a good relationship with Charles. Whenever Eric needs help, they usually provide help.
But Li Ang has already begun to sweat on his head - no wonder he came out from the bottom of the lake. The two co-authors Dalion and Charles have tricked him!
Moreover, late king Kavala asked Dalion to find Dragon Tear and Abyssal Gate in a dream...
This is probably because after he entered the abyss, he rejected Kavala, so Kavala planned to use other methods to come out?
Did he succeed?
After all, Dalion found both!
"Where is Dragon Tear now? Did late king Kavala tell you how to use Dragon Tear?"
Looking at the confused Dalion, Li Ang also knew that it would be difficult to explain this to him for a while - this silly boy would definitely not believe that late king Kavala had any bad intentions.
Even if Kavala wants to destroy the world, Dalion will probably think that Supreme King wants to unify Pandor!
"Dragon Tear was snatched away by Miss Wendy..."
Charles replied, "She said that Dragon Tear can be used to find your whereabouts. As long as she finds you, she will give us more Dragon Tear. We didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that she is right... She always believed that you will come back..."
"Wendy was here? Where is she now?"
Li Ang actually heard Althea mention it, saying that he dreamed of Wendy--Althea said at that time that Wendy was the first Noldo Elves to understand the correct usage of Dragon Tear.
In fact, Li Ang also knows that this 'correct usage' is only for Althea.
Althea has been lonely all her life. What she needs most is to see Noldo Elves and understand the situation of the Noldor people. Dragon Tear can probably project Noldo Elves's soul to Althea.
Basically, it is equivalent to using the magic power of Dragon Tear to entrust dreams to Althea, and it can also communicate in the "dream". It can be regarded as a video chat. Although the cost is a bit high, it can indeed make Althea no longer lonely.
"She should be at Long River Town now. She said she has a way to revive Alaric, and she will be here in about a day or two."
Charles looked at the dying Alaric: "Sir, can Miss Wendy really know magic?"
Li Ang sighed, "Yes, she does know magic now... But now, there are two magic witches outside, and maybe there is another more powerful demon king... Organize the army, brothers, we have to go out to fight - you may have brought a terrible disaster to this world, I will tell you slowly later..."
