messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 116 Returning Legend

The streets of Reinhardt are still bustling, even better than before, that's what Chu Chu thought when he came here.

She stood on the street with people coming and going, wearing that shabby black robe, under the black robe, she looked around with dull gray eyes.

She can't see it anymore, but her evil can still feel the surrounding situation.

There was a lot of noise in the ears, and the fruit merchants on the side of the road were sitting on the benches and hawking.There was the clang of iron in the blacksmith's shop, and the muffled sound of the bellows blowing flames.Pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, which makes the summer even more sweltering.While taking care of the customers, the pharmacy merchant kept a close eye on the shop to prevent others from stealing his things.

In short, this is a bustling and prosperous city, with spacious roads and flat stone slabs enough for three or four carriages to run side by side.There are stone houses on both sides of the road, most of which are not luxurious, but they also have a different style. There are usually one or two pots of flowers and plants in front of the door to embellish the color.

Chu Chu did not belong to this city, it was obvious that she was different from everyone else standing on the street.Her breath is cold and deep, after all, the evil breath is like this, and it is difficult for her to change it.

At the beginning of her perception of her surroundings, she still remembered that she had walked through these streets with Hillman in the past, and when exactly, it was probably the day of her imperial tour.Chu still vaguely remembered the scene that day, and the cheers of the people on both sides made her feel ashamed.

Finally, Chu's sight stopped on the tallest building in the city, the castle that almost reached into the sky.

She walked over, this time, she came to return something.

In front of the gate of the castle, two guards stood by the gate. One of the old guards squinted his eyes, looking at the city in the distance, with a little intoxication in his eyes.

He is already in his fifties, and his sideburns are also a little gray.He has been a castle guard for more than 30 years. During these 30 years, he has experienced too many things and seen too many people.

He watched the empire rise and saw the empire shake, but fortunately, the result was good.This empire is so prosperous that it deserves all praise.

Everyone's life has become better, and so has he. Now he only wants to spend his old age in this city safely.

Hey, it would be great if that adult was still here.If he is here, the empire will prosper even more.

The old guard thought so.

Who is that adult, of course, is the black knight back then.

He once fought with that black knight on the battlefield, and saw that unrivaled heroic, bloody undead knight, thinking about it now still makes his blood boil.

The black knight even saved him once, but before he had time to thank him, the knight had already disappeared from people's sight.

People like to miss the past when they are old, and the guard is also like this. Whenever he thinks about the past, he will always feel regretful. It would be great if he could thank him earlier at that time, even though the adult may not remember him anymore.

At this time, a person came from outside the castle. She was wearing a black robe, walked across the bridge in front of the castle, and walked to the gate.

"Please stop." The two guards put down the spears in their hands at the same time, and stopped in front of this man.

"Excuse me, do you have a pass?" The elderly guard looked at the person in front of him and asked, with some vigilance in his eyes.

"If not, you can't go there."

Chu raised her head and looked at the guards blocking her. Pass, she didn't know there was such a thing. She used to not need a pass to enter and exit this castle.

But since the other party had stopped her, she couldn't force her way in. She silently took a step back, nodded and turned to leave.

Why can't I go in, she thought and walked into a corner of the street.

Suddenly, she remembered that she used to go in and out wearing armor.

Is it a matter of clothes?

Chu looked down at the black robe on his body.

So the next moment, the black robe on her body began to change, and within a breath, it became a pitch-black armor that wrapped her in it.

This armor was exactly the same as her previous one, the deep black had a daunting aura, and the sharp edges and corners made her look majestic and unapproachable.

There was still something missing. After thinking about it for the first time, she stretched out her hand, and then a black knight's long sword condensed in her hand.

Let's try again.

After thinking about it for the first time, he walked out of the corner of the street and walked towards the gate of the castle again.

The two guards once again saw a black figure approaching, but this time the person walking was not wearing a black robe, but a black armor.

Why are there so many people wearing black clothes today?

The young guard raised his eyebrows, put down the spear in his hand, and stopped in front of the opponent.

But this time, the aged guard was stunned in place.

Until the man in black armor came up close.

He stared blankly at the pitch-black armor in front of him, and the figure in front of him gradually merged with the figure in his memory.

It can't be wrong, he thought.

Only this armor and this breath can't be wrong.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the long sword in the opponent's hand. That jet-black long sword had a dark red color on it, like the color of fresh blood.

That's it, that's the sword, the sword that cuts blood on the battlefield, the sword that slaughters the traitors.

The aged guard suddenly felt a little moisture in his eye sockets.

He's back, the lord is back.

Chu Chu saw a guard staring at him in a daze, raised his hand to say something, but found that he could no longer speak.

Just when she let go of her hands helplessly, the elderly guard suddenly bowed deeply and said excitedly.

"I knew it, I knew that my lord will definitely come back, please wait a moment, my lord, I will report to His Majesty right away!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around, walked into the castle quickly, almost as if running, leaving the young guard standing there stupidly.

After a while, the old guard came back again. It was obvious that he had calmed down a bit, but he still had an excited look on his face.

Because as long as he sees this black knight, he will think of the longed-for figure on the battlefield back then, the incomparable figure.

"My lord, please come in, Your Majesty, please follow me."

The aged guard bowed in front of Chu, and made a gesture of invitation.

Chu followed him into the castle in a daze.

The two walked through the promenade of the castle together. The ground was covered with a golden red carpet, and the outside sunlight shone into the somewhat empty promenade, making the corridor look peaceful and sacred.

Until the end of the corridor, the guard said to Chu.

"My lord, I won't be able to enter after that, please go there by yourself."

Chu nodded and opened the door to the corridor.

Just as Chu walked through the gate and was about to close the gate, the guard bowed solemnly to Chu and said solemnly.

"My lord, thank you very much."

This time, he finally said it, that sentence of gratitude that was not conveyed 30 years ago.

The black knight of the empire is back.
