A Knight's Dream / The Knight Who Was Crippled

Then a few people jumped out of the car, found a spot, and started digging a hole.

"Boss, this guy's still alive... What should we do..."

One of them noticed that the heavily wounded Frost Knight's chest was still rising and falling, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"What are you afraid of? This guy is already crippled. He's not dead yet, but he's practically dead... You're afraid of a dead man?"

The leader shouted as he swung his hoe.

"But..."

"No buts! If you're scared, just get to work. After we're done, we'll go to the bar for a drink!"

The leader continued what he was doing.

Just after they finished digging the pit, they discovered that Great Fog had risen up around them.

"What's going on?" The leader instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

He had never heard of fog near Kawaleriel during this season, let alone such Dense Fog that made it almost impossible to see his surroundings or discern directions.

He gave a signal to his men, and then the group walked back to back toward the location of the vehicle they remembered.

But after walking for almost a minute, they still hadn't seen any vehicles. Instead, the fog around them grew thicker and thicker, and even with torches, they could barely see their companions.

"Everyone, move closer to me!" the leader shouted, then raised his torch high.

Chapter 255 The Knight's Dream

As he roared, the sound of a music box came from all directions.

"Ding-dong, I have a secret to tell you quietly: Welcome to the entrance to Heaven..."

The clear, melodious music accompanying the children's singing would normally elicit laughter and attention.

But at this moment, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

The sound seemed to be singing right next to their ears, but they could not see the enemy, and even their teammates were almost out of sight.

"Damn it, what kind of insidious witchcraft is this!" The leader was actually quite skilled.

Undeterred by the danger, he suddenly ignited the torch in his hand, illuminating the surrounding area within a two-meter radius.

However, his expression was not good.

Because the burning produced by this spell comes at the cost of the torch being consumed much faster.

However, he had no other choice but to do this. Otherwise, if he lost contact with his teammates in this pitch-black Great Fog, and with strange enemies lurking around, everyone would be divided and devoured.

But he never expected that his all-out effort would have such a negligible effect.

He originally thought that even if his move couldn't break through the Dense Fog, it could at least cover a range of ten meters.

But now, the effect of those two meters not only fails to meet his expectations, but it doesn't even show many of his teammates.

Those who were illuminated by his magic quickly ran to his side and surrounded him tightly.

Because everyone knew that, under these circumstances, the only person who could lead them out of this eerie fog was the captain.

"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out, but the mist seemed to have a special effect, making it impossible for them to discern the source of the sound.

"It's George, that voice is George..." One of the people in the crowd looked at the surrounding white fog with a look of fear on his face, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Shut up, we all know it was George, but he got separated from us on his own, so he has to pay the price for his death."

The captain was furious, not only because he couldn't find a way to leave, but also because his incompetent teammate was adding to his mental burden in this situation.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." The man was somewhat clear-headed after being yelled at by the captain, but the screams of his teammates coming from the front made him tremble uncontrollably, and his rationality was almost gone.

At that moment, under the horrified gazes of these people, the mist ahead transformed into the heads of their comrades.

Each head is incredibly lifelike.

Their faces were contorted, as if they had suffered endless torment, as they appeared before the crowd, their lips moving as if they were saying, "Save me..."

"Ah!" Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure of this fear and plunged headlong into the Dense Fog.

As he acted, the others also suffered mental breakdowns, like startled birds in the forest, and tried to escape on their own.

But once inside the Great Fog, their voices vanished instantly; the Great Fog, like a terrifying beast, devoured everything.

Apart from the music still lingering in my ears, there was nothing to be seen in this Great Fog.

After knocking out the rest of the group, Suika, who was hidden in the mist, looked at the last captain.

It wasn't that she didn't want to strike first, but the captain's magic did have some merit, managing to penetrate the Dense Fog she had created using her talent in this environment.

The light almost startled her when it appeared.

However, as the torch burned shorter and shorter, the man, who had struggled left and right but still could not escape the Dense Fog, closed his eyes in despair.

The instant the flames disappeared, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. Before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear the voice of a young girl.

"Since they knew they couldn't escape, why did they persist for so long, wasting so much time? And who knows if that guy is even salvageable..."

After knocking them all unconscious, Suika packed them all up and hung them from a large tree.

Then she walked toward the other party's vehicle. Just now, when she shrouded the area in mist, she had the Little Suika put the Frost Knight into the vehicle.

However, in her opinion, the other party's injuries were not necessarily curable.

However, since Zofia said he wasn't a bad person, I was also curious as to why he had ended up in this situation.

So saving him would just be a piece of cake for me.

Diarmuid a dream.

He dreamt of the two golden knights he had seen when he was a child. At that time, his mountain village was attacked by bandits, and just when he was in imminent danger, a golden figure descended before him and dispelled his fear.

The couple, who claimed to be knights, said they happened to be passing by and encountered someone committing a crime, so they stepped in to help.

From that day on, he began to idolize knights and wanted to become the radiant figure he remembered.

Although Ursus did not have knights, their location was not far from Kazimierz, which gave him the opportunity to come into contact with information about knights.

In his teens, he left his hometown to join the knights of Kazimierz. His talent and ability were so outstanding that he stood out among the reserve soldiers.

Just then, a family approached him, hoping he would become their subordinate.

He was originally going to refuse, but the other person's blond hair and the promise that he could get him a knighthood made him agree.

He was given a set of armor made from Arts Unit that could release icy energy, and after putting on that equipment, he became the "Frost Knight" that everyone was watching.

He originally thought he could become a knight that people could be proud of, just like he had dreamed of.

But unexpectedly, instead of protecting and helping the weak, he was in the spotlight, battling other knights on the field to please audiences from all over the world.

This frustrated him, but his knightly pride compelled him to fulfill his master's every request without fail, now that he had chosen a master.

However, in this battle that his master had repeatedly emphasized the importance of victory, he failed.

Actually, failure doesn't matter; he is confident that he can bring victory to his master in the next battle.

But bad news followed: his master died, he died in the stands.

His master's family approached him, hoping he would become someone else's knight.

Although loyalty is based on serving one master, it is only natural to become a servant of other members of the master's family since the previous master has died.

But after learning that his previous master had been murdered, he hoped to find the killer and avenge him before swearing allegiance to his new master...

Chapter 256 The Defeated Knight

However, this very request became the cause of the Frost Knight's death.

His new master, who had a fiancée, was very pleased to hear his words, feeling that his behavior was very much in the style of an old knight.

However, the new master was more jealous than he had imagined. He regarded his fiancée's high regard for the Frost Knight as infidelity, believing that she was attracted to the Frost Knight's handsome appearance.

Unable to harm his own fiancée, he set his sights on the Frost Knight.

That very night, he hosted a banquet for the Frost Knight, but poisoned the food.

After poisoning the Frost Knight, the man pierced his hands and feet with a dining knife, severing his meridians.

Even after turning him into a cripple, he was still not satisfied. He whipped him again to satisfy his desire for catharsis, and then ordered his trusted men to take him out and bury him alive.

When Diarmuid dreamt of this place, a tear rolled down his cheek.

He believed he could bring victory to his master forever and never had any thoughts of disloyalty to the monarch he served.

However, after his own defeat, he witnessed the death of his first master, and after expressing his loyalty, he was murdered by his second master.

He couldn't understand why he had ended up in such a predicament when all he wanted was to become a knight like the golden pegasus in his childhood dream.

Back at the carriage, Suika looked at the Frost Knight, who was unconscious and shedding tears, and couldn't help but sigh. She could feel the resentment, sadness, and despair emanating from him.

"Tsk, if you're going to help someone, go all the way... I'm not a professional doctor, so it's up to you whether you're lucky enough to survive."

As Suika spoke, she took a piece of Tumor Feces Stone out of her pocket.

This was a gift from Closure when she left Rhodes Island; its purpose was to cure poison.

She noticed that the other person's lips were black and purple, which was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

He pried open his mouth, stuffed the Tumor Feces Stone under his tongue, then disgustedly wiped his saliva off his body before looking at his limbs.

"Holy crap, severing his tendons and ligaments, what kind of grudge is this..." She had thought those people had just poisoned the Frost Knight and then dragged him out to bury him alive.

But unexpectedly, they also severed the tendons in his hands and feet.

Even with Rhodes Island's capabilities, which Suika is familiar with, it would be difficult for her to move around as before after being rescued.

He's just an ordinary person at most.

Seeing this, Suika looked at the Frost Knight with a somewhat pitiful expression.

Despite his young age, and judging from his previous matches, his skills are truly impressive. Coupled with his unique Originium Arts, he will undoubtedly become a renowned and powerful knight in the future.

Once in the driver's seat, Suika took out her phone and contacted Zofia. After hearing that there was a seriously injured person in the car outside the city, Zofia said that there happened to be a manor not far from Suika's location, with a private doctor. She would give Suika the information, Suika could take the person there directly.

"Wuhu, Suika brand bumper cars, now departing!"

Suika was much more skilled at driving than the first time, and the vehicle quickly left the area and arrived at the manor that Zofia had mentioned.

Upon entering the manor, the private doctor stationed there to treat Zofia was taken aback when he saw the injured person's condition.

Fortunately, due to Zofia's condition (she had suffered a severe injury to her left hand), the doctor was well-versed in treating such injuries.

However, the environment here is too rudimentary, and there's not much he can do.

As the physician carefully restored the tendons and ligaments in the Frost Knight's limbs, Zofia, still worried, arrived.

"Hiss, I knew it was him."

How did he get injured like this?

Zofia was puzzled after seeing the Frost Knight's wounds.

"I don't know, but when I found him, he was almost buried alive by a group of people. I knocked them all out and rescued him."

Suika didn't know why he had become like this; she simply recounted the events from when she discovered him until he was buried alive.

"What a pity... but there aren't many people who would do something like that."

I suspect there's a problem within the family the Frost Knight serves; I'll try to find out more."

Zofia was no novice either, and quickly figured out what was going on. While lamenting the fall of a promising young knight, she also began to deal with the trouble left behind by Suika.

First of all, there are the tracks she left behind while driving here, so that car can't be left behind either.

After doing all this, seeing Suika sitting to the side, carefree and sipping her drink, she couldn't help but angrily reach out and pinch Suika's cheek.

"You've made such a mess, and I'm trying to clean it up for you. At least give me some reaction, instead of just sitting there like a spectator, okay?"

"Red Bean Paste Country, Horse Racing..."

Suika promptly apologized, then remained motionless.

"Sister Zofia, just tell me what I can do to help you. Otherwise, just wandering around here like a headless fly won't do any good." Suika was very self-aware; in her opinion, professional matters should be left to professionals.

He could figure out how to handle things like fighting, slashing people, overturning mountains and seas, and creating stars, but he couldn't handle deceit, treachery, or worldly affairs.

"Then you can go back first, I'll handle things here."

Seeing you sitting here doing nothing makes me angry...
