Griffin Knights's station.
Sir Roland When we arrived here, it was snowing for the first time since winter.
"Lord Li Ang, you are still alive, this is great..."
Roland smiled and greeted Li Ang.
Now, only Roland still calls Li Ang 'adult'.
"Sir Roland, you look a lot changed..."
Li Ang was a little surprised. He hadn't seen her for just over a year, but this Paladin had already turned gray and looked like he was ten years older.
In the more than a year since Li Ang disappeared, Roland and his New Dawn Knights regiment have been suppressing the heretic Fallen One.
Although Roland is not loyal to anyone, he has actually undertaken the most difficult combat missions and has been fighting on the front line.
A year ago, after everyone worked together to repel Brennus from Lion City, the entire Lionheart Kingdom was unable to fight back. Only Sir Roland led his knights to clean up and pursue the uncontrolled Fallen One until they reached Vulpine Town.
After this, the entire west of Lion Territory was caught in the flames of war. Except for Forster who could occasionally provide logistical support from Lion Lake City to Roland, no other lords were able to provide assistance to Vulpine Town.
The New Dawn Knights group was actually very poor. When Payne Village was established, Roland refused financial support from Li Ang and only accepted some necessary equipment.
However, this new knight group, which had a small number of people, average equipment, lacked food and clothing, and received no reinforcements, actually relied on a lone army to clean up the Fallen One left behind in Lion Territory, and once pushed Three Prophets's sphere of influence back to the north of the remote village.
Three Prophets has not been silent this year. They have made countless Fallen One, but they have been dragged by Roland to the Cliff Bay area.
This is the main reason why there is no Blood Oath Witch among Kewen Village's Prophet Legion - Blood Oath Witch, who is wearing heavy armor and moves slowly, has basically been killed by Roland's New Dawn Knights group.
At the same time, all news related to heresy, Roland will be sent to Lion City and Lion Lake City as soon as possible.
When Lionheart Kingdom was caught in the quagmire of war, if Roland hadn't held back Prophet Legion, it would have been difficult for the East and Northern Bay to maintain a stable situation.
And Roland's gray hair and beard are the price of his hard work over the past year.
But from the beginning to the end, Roland never asked for any compensation from anyone, and he didn't even ask for support from any lord. Even the logistical support from Lion Lake City was proactively provided by Forster. Although Forster himself was not a decent person, he respected Roland very much.
"Sir Roland, I plan to let Dusk Knight Order return to Dawn Knight Order. Of course, I mean to let them join your team... Light Roar Bay those fools, no one will think that they can still represent Goddess of Justice."
Li Ang knows that Alistair and Dusk Knight Order are just forced by the situation and will not be completely loyal to him, so he must let Dusk Knight Order return to the New Dawn Knights group.
By the way, Paladin, who has been eradicating evil, will increase his strength.
After all, the biggest enemy at present is Kavala. Li Ang is not sure how Dalion or Leofric and others will react when they know that the enemy is Kavala in the future.
But he knows that Roland is definitely reliable, and he is the most reliable comrade in the face of evil.
Only by letting people like Roland take care of Alistair and Li Ang who will not be sincerely loyal to him can he rest assured.
"If Dusk Knight Order is willing to return to the arms of Astaria, then of course I will welcome the lost children home. However, Lord Li Ang, many of them now believe in the dark Goddess Eredar. Although I will not regard them as heretics, there will definitely be conflicts within the Knights..."
Roland does not refuse to accept a strong army, but it seems a bit difficult. The issue of faith cannot be bypassed, and he does not want any factional disputes to arise in his team.
"There are some things you may not know yet... Dark Goddess is not a heretic to begin with. She was originally Astaria's closest comrade-in-arms. The original Dawn Knight Order also had many people who believed in Erebus..."
Li Ang spent a lot of time telling Roland about the past events he had learned, that is, the stories of the gods, as well as the abyss and void he had personally experienced.
For now, he only dares to tell Roland this.
"That is to say... after Goddess left, dawn and dusk each went to two extremes..."
Roland thought for a while and waved over Renard.
"Renard, two teachings... one is 'Be impartial like a balance, act like a sword'; the other is 'When you are in darkness, your heart is toward the light', which one do you think is more suitable for you?"
Roland asked seriously.
"I'm afraid I can't be as fair as a scale, nor can I have no evil thoughts in my heart...Sir Roland, of course the latter is more suitable for me."
Renard answered happily - this habitual thief certainly does not conform to the teachings of Goddess of Justice.
"Then, you will become the deputy leader of the New Dawn Knights group, and you will guide Dusk Knight Order... I hope you can make them all like you, at least keep a bright heart."
Roland patted Renard on the shoulder.
Obviously, what Sir Roland has changed over the past year or so is not just his gray hair.
Of course Alistair didn't like Roland, such a rigid and upright person, but he had no objection to Renard and followed Renard very wisely.
This is exactly what Li Ang and Roland want to see.
The new dawn that incorporates Dusk Knight Order is now no less inferior to Dawn Knight Order from Light Roar Bay.
In the afternoon, Sir Roland and Wendy began to try to save the dying Alaric.
Roland actually didn't know how to save people. The only thing he did was to send out his war cry at Alaric.
Strangely enough, the moment the war cry started to sound, Alaric opened his eyes.
Although his body is still weak, he is no longer in a hazy state, at least he seems to have regained his consciousness.
Wendy took the opportunity to pour some potion into Alaric, and while pouring it, he drew some kind of talisman - this is the lake water that Wendy brought from Lake Alaclay in Noldo Forest, and the water was soaked with crosswort - this stuff has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and refreshing the mind, but the main function of soaking it in water and drinking it is actually to induce vomiting.
After drinking a lot of crosswort water, Alaric started to vomit. After vomiting, he felt quite energetic. It seemed that Wendy's treatment plan was effective.
But after Alaric woke up, the first thing he said was, "Is Lord Li Ang here?"
Wendy immediately came out to find Li Ang and brought him to Alaric's hospital bed.
"Lord Li Ang... I had a long dream before. I dreamed that I was at the entrance of a terrible abyss... or the mouth of a cave. I don't know how deep the abyss is. I could see that there seemed to be magma in it, but I couldn't move... I also saw you in the dream - I saw you flying out of the abyss. But I'm not sure if it was you, that person's hair was very long..."
Alaric is still very weak, and he seems to be eager to tell Li Ang something.
"I think you read it right, I did fly out of an abyss..."
Li Ang realized that the soul of Alaric might have been sucked in by Abyssal Gate.
After Alaric drank Elixir of Immortality made from Dragon Tear, it is easy to fall into negative emotions such as sadness and loneliness, which means that his soul is very fragile and may be easily affected.
Li Ang now even feels that Elixir of Immortality is not lying, and you really won't age after drinking it - of course you won't age if you become Spirit Body...
"Huh... Then everything I saw in my dream must be real? I have always felt that it was real... Lord Li Ang, I can guess what the abyss means, because I didn't just see you there, there were two other people..."
Alaric said even more anxiously, "One is an old man, and he has been here twice... He even talked to me!"
"You... couldn't you have seen someone who looks the same as the statue of late king Kavala?"
Li Ang lowered the volume and looked around. Fortunately, there were only Wendy and Roland here.
Look at this, Alaric was temporarily staying in Abyssal Gate in the form of Spirit Body, just like Media lost his body and settled his soul on Abyssal Gate.
"That's right! It's him... I've seen the statue of Supreme King Kavala. I promise it's him I saw..."
Alaric nodded vigorously.
"What did he tell you?"
Li Ang subconsciously glanced at the ring on his hand and hesitated, but still did not take it off.
"He asked me to work for him, saying he wanted me to be the king... I didn't agree. I'm not a child, how could I be deceived so easily?... And the old man's demeanor looks exactly like those bullshit nobles who treat common people as nothing. I don't like him!"
Alaric grinned. "Of course, the most important thing is that when that guy flew out, he was originally a skinless devil! But he suddenly turned into Supreme King Kavala! Moreover, he came back after leaving, and even snatched a woman back. With this sudden change in appearance, he must be a devil, and he is still an old gangster devil!"
"What does the woman he brought back look like?"
Li Ang smiled, Alaric was still the same, this drunkard was actually a straightforward person, and he didn't trust the nobles in the first place.
However, Li Ang feels that Kavala definitely did not deceive Alaric--Kavala probably wanted Alaric to possess him. On the body of Ulrich, that really makes him the king... And the communication between Spirit Body cannot deceive anyone. Fortunately, Alaric didn't believe it...
"Didn't you see her? When you flew out, the woman and I were at the door..."
Alaric asked somewhat strangely.
"I shouldn't be able to see you at that time... You should be able to understand that your soul was probably out of the body at that time, and living people can't see the soul..."
Li Ang explained very honestly.
At that time, Li Ang was a living person, not Spirit Body. Of course, Alaric's soul could not be seen.
Wendy next to him nodded thoughtfully, and Sir Roland also listened with a serious face and said nothing.
"The woman was very beautiful and looked like Barkley. She said her name was Anna... Moreover, she also refused the solicitation of the devil who called himself Supreme King... She said she was only loyal to King Ulrich..."
Alaric continued, "I stayed at the door of the abyss for a long time, I don't even know how long... Then, just now, I seemed to be sucked up by a powerful force, and I seemed to be flying all the time - just like I felt when I drank too much... While flying, I heard the woman shout a few words, including your and Sir Roland's names..."
"This is Soul-Calming Art of Paladin! It's Roland who is saving you! Are you from Li Ang?... Did Li Ang go back? I'll help you go back... You asked Li Ang to help me, I just want to find Ulrich!!"
Alaric spoke like a woman, and even winked at Li Ang: "Lord Li Ang, I think that woman wants me to bring you this message... Could she be your lover?"
"No, she is King Ulrich's lover... she was also a princess."
Li Ang and Wendy curled their lips together.
It seems that Anna helped Alaric, otherwise this guy wouldn't be able to wake up so easily - Abyssal Gate's soul is at the bottom of Deerheart Lake, but his body is at Kewen Village, which is far away!
"What Alaric saw was the soul of Kavala...Anna...Ulrich... Now the Ulrich in Lion City is Kavala? He became a devil?"
Roland is indeed relatively receptive to these things, and Li Ang told him about the past of gods, so he reacted immediately.
Li Ang nodded. "It should be him... However, he is more terrifying than the devil - he has become an evil god! Snake Worship Cult's evil god Aziz Dahaka was created by him!"
This guy actually came out before me? And after he came out, he captured Anna and took Abyssal Gate back?
Li Ang thought.
"Li Ang, Anna asked you to help her... are you going to help her?"
Wendy asked a little uneasily.
"What should I do to help her? If I want to help, I'm also helping Ulrich. My wife was arrested and her body was used. It's quite miserable... However, Ulrich and Anna are an interesting couple. It seems they really have feelings for each other? I have to ask..."
Li Ang signaled Alaric to have a good rest, and then pulled Wendy and Roland: "Let's go see the other two prophets."
Wendy This portable Magic Suppression Tower must be carried with you. Li Ang must be taken with you wherever you go now, otherwise Kavala or other terrible things may suddenly appear...
The reason for bringing Roland is naturally because he is the real Paladin, who can use Soul-Calming Art and interfere with Three Prophets's spells.
Now that the three prophets have been arrested, it is estimated that Vulpine Town will not have any problems for a while, and there is no need for Roland to stay there all the time - lest this decent man interferes with Renard and Alistair's 'earning money' and paying taxes to Li Ang...
On the way to Long River Town, Li Ang asked about Soul-Calming Art.
Soul-Calming Art is not actually Divine Art, but a kind of temperament - in fact, it should have been called the 'right soul technique'.
It is the kind of positive energy that can be generated by a gentleman who is upright and acts aboveboard...
Many people say, "Be upright and upright and avoid all evil", which is what they are talking about.
In the world of Li Ang, this kind of energy was called "Haoran Zhengqi", and it is said that the effect is similar. Not only can all monsters and monsters not get close to you, but it can also help calm the souls of people around you and expel evil spirits.
In Li Ang's view, this is the righteousness Roland has cultivated with his kindness and integrity over decades.
However, Roland feels that this is Goddess's blessing brought by his devotion to Goddess of Justice - in fact, it is almost the same, Goddess of Justice's teachings are to make people fair and upright.
The two captured prophetesses are currently being held in the main building of White Deer Fortress. They were brought there by Wendy when he returned to the forest to get water from the lake.
They can only be locked there - Wendy is currently the lord White Deer Fortress, White Deer Fortress's main building is now full of Noldo Elves, and Three Prophets can't cause any trouble.
The White Deer Fortress now is different from the past. There are more Noldo Elves than humans.
During the year that Li Ang was away, most of the human inhabitants moved to Wheat Fragrance Territory, while the Noldor moved into White Deer Fortress.
Although the two sides still maintain friendly relations, White Deer Fortress is still open to everyone. But with Li Ang gone, the two sides no longer have such a high degree of trust in each other. Business exchanges are not as frequent as before, and Noldo Elves no longer helps humans fight.
Fortunately, the buses did not stop operating - Amy and Wendy both tacitly maintained the practice of issuing monthly passes.
Only the two of them have always firmly believed that Li Ang will definitely come back, and they are unwilling to let the transportation industry developed by Li Ang disappear.
Oh, not just the two of them, but also Alina.
Alina is also at White Deer Fortress at this time.
After Li Ang and Amy announced their engagement, Alina moved into Wendy's home - in fact, Alina has always been The relationship between and Wendy is better. After all, Wendy saved Alina's life on the Erudition City battlefield.
