messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 117 When entering the door, you usually have to knock first

The corridor leading to the top floor of the castle is as quiet as in memory, the more people go up, the fewer people there are. Even if the sunlight on both sides is so holy, it is difficult to cover the desertedness above the castle.It stood there quietly with an inaccessible holiness, overlooking everything in the empire, like a person living on the top floor of that castle.

The original greaves made a muffled sound when they stepped on the carpet. She walked along the corridor through the pieces of light that fell from the window, lowered her head, and walked towards the top floor as she remembered.

Finally, she stood in front of a door, and she felt the familiar breath in the door.

"despair."

Chu stretched out a hand and put it on the door. The golden pattern on the door reflected the black helmet and the pair of eyes that had lost their spirit under the helmet.

"come in."

The person in the door said, the voice was the same as before, but it was a little old.

He pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside the door is a hall, silent and empty, as if this place has left the world and is in another world.

At the end of the hall, there is a tall golden-red throne, and there is a person sitting on the throne. She is wearing a red cloak, her long golden hair hangs down her shoulders, and the golden-red lion heart sword is still in her hand. .

Chu raised his head, facing the person on the throne.

The king and the knight meet again, just like the moment when the king crowned the knight in the past.

The sun on both sides was still bright. In the sun, the black knight stood in front of the glorious king, took off his helmet, and knelt down on one knee.

May the glory be eternal, my king.

It's a pity that Chu can no longer speak, unable to explain the words of the oath of loyalty.

But everything still seems to return to the scene at that time.

On the throne, Hillman smiled slightly. She looked at the knight with memories and nostalgia in her eyes.

Time has carved marks on her face, no matter what she can't resist aging, 30 years is already an extremely long time for a mortal.

"I thought we'd meet here in a certain way, but not in this way."

There was no reply at first, and only Hillman was talking slowly and warmly in the hall.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. I used to look for the black stone that can summon you, but there has been no result..."

But soon, she discovered the abnormality at the beginning.

She looked at Chu's gray eyes that had lost their spirit, and her silent mouth.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes, smiled, and said softly.

"Is that so, have you already shouldered so many sins?"

That's why it became so incomplete.

Hillman looked at the shadow-like black under the seat, and there seemed to be a little sadness in his eyes.

However, in her eyes that are always proud and full of brilliance, no one can see the sadness clearly.

She just raised her hand and said to Chu.

"Come forward, my knight."

Chu silently walked towards Hillman and knelt beside her.

Then, she felt as if some hands gently held her cheeks, making her bend down and lean on a pair of legs.

The knight leaned against the king's knee, and the king stroked the corner of her eye with his palm.

"This time, I will not allow you to take away anyone's sins. Because this is my country, all sins should be dealt with by me."

Hillman hugged Chu Ban in front of him and said.

"And now, I order you, take a good rest."

Leaning blankly on Hillman's lap, it was as if the sun was shining on his body, and there was a kind of warmth, which made him peaceful and comfortable.She always felt this way when she stayed by Hillman's side. Hillman was like a ray of sunshine, high above, but shining on everyone without hesitation.

The meeting between the two people was very plain, without too many words, only quiet tolerance, and the tolerance of glory to evil.

······
The black knight came back, and the excited city gate guard accidentally leaked the news, and then, the news was indeed like a gust of wind, sweeping through the entire castle, letting everyone know about it.

Few people can clearly say what the Black Knight represents to this generation of Reinhardt people. It is a legendary figure. Boys grow up listening to its story, and girls are even more familiar with this rumor. Feminine knights are greatly adored.It seemed like every Reinhardt kid ever dreamed of being one of those knights.

Even the textbooks have the coronation words of the king to the black knight, and the most favorite song of the bard is the bloody parade of the king and the knight who betrayed the parliament.

Although not everyone is so excited, there are always a few people who are extremely excited.

For example, there is one right now.

At the gate of the castle, a person walked into the castle regardless of the guard's obstruction, walked quickly in the corridor, almost as if he was about to run, and walked towards the top floor of the castle.

She was wearing a black armor with a long sword on her waist and a helmet in her hand.

She was a young girl who looked to be in her mid-twenties at best, with blond hair tied back simply.

Armor and capable dress make her look very heroic, coupled with her handsome face, it is enough to make girls who are also women be fascinated by her.

She is the adopted daughter of the Lionheart Queen and Princess Sid of the Empire. The name is like a boy, and so is her character.

She liked swordsmanship since she was a child, and she studied with Sword Saint Roland, and always went home with scars and dust like a boy, but it was also because of this that she had a very high level of swordsmanship at a young age.

Besides swordsmanship, her favorite thing to do is to listen to her teacher and mother talk about the Black Knight.

In her opinion, that is the highest pursuit of being a knight, using the sword in her hand to open the way for the empire.

Hillman always said that she needed to cultivate her mind, otherwise her personality was not suitable to be a king, even though she did well in all the homework that Hillman gave her.

But she didn't care much about these things. In her opinion, her father could still be king for a long time.

At this time, Princess Sid walked in the corridor with an eager look on her face. She was in a hurry to see her father, and she wanted to confirm a piece of news to her father, whether the black knight was real or not. 's back.

······
In front of the throne, she was leaning on Hillman's knee, when suddenly, as if she remembered something, she raised her head to look at Hillman.

I have something to return to you, Your Majesty.

She conveyed what she wanted to say to Hillman through evil.

Hillman was slightly taken aback, but then, she seemed to understand what she said at the beginning, and smiled lightly.

"Of course, you should return it to me."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and waited silently.

Chu stood up, hesitated for a moment, and moved closer to Hillman.

She raised her icy lips in a strange way, and gently kissed Hillman's cheek.

At this time, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a person walked in excitedly.

"Father!"

The atmosphere froze, and even the air seemed to be slightly stagnant.

Chu's body froze, but Hillman still sat calmly in his seat.

Sid, who opened the door and came in, froze and stood there blankly, looking at the two people on the throne.

Her brain quickly processed what she saw, and after a while, her cheeks slowly turned red, and the reason in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she circled chaotically, and the helmet in her hand fell to the ground.

"I."

With a pair of confused eyes, Sid waved his hands and staggered back towards the door.

"I, I, I, I'll take something and leave!"

As she spoke, she picked up the helmet at her feet, turned around and hit the door frame again.

"Bang." There was a muffled sound.

"Hmm." Sid clutched his red nose, whimpered and found his way, and ran out as if fleeing.

Chu turned his head to look in the direction Sid was running away from.

Hillman opened his eyes and said with a faint smile.

"That's my daughter. She's still very immature. You're laughing."
