Heart of the Castle

Chapter 121 The Old Knight's Entrustment

Hearing the young man's clear and angry voice, the corners of the old man's drooping mouth twitched slightly, and his attitude softened a lot.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, my words have misunderstood you. Ston Knight and I have been old friends for many years, calling him an old guy is just a little hobby of mine." The old man said with some nostalgia, and went up The upturned corners of his mouth and the stretched wrinkles made his majestic face look a lot more benevolent. "Perhaps it is also a kind of luck to be able to meet the attendant of an old friend before he died. Young man, how is the knight you are loyal to recently?"

The old man's greeting made Li Wei silent for a while, and then the young knight servant said in a gloomy voice: "Your Excellency, Sir Ston Knight died in battle on the battlefield of the demon attacking the city a month ago."

"That's it... Ston, it seems that this time you, the old guy, came to the front." Hearing the news, the old man sighed softly, and then leaned back on the back of the chair, with his face on his face. Actually showed a faint smile.

"Your Excellency?" Li Wei asked tentatively, and Fleischer frowned a little uneasy, but the old man waved his hand easily, as if he had lifted all the burdens from his shoulders.

"Don't call me Your Excellency, I'm still a little away from that glorious title. Although I seemed to have touched the handle of the door a few minutes ago, but now, I'm tired, and it's hard to push the door open." It's not an easy task." The old man folded his hands between his chest and abdomen, looked at Li Wei with a smile and said, "Young man, since you are the servant of the old guy Ston, there must be such a day in the future. , inherit his armor and sword?"

"Yes, this is the direction I have been working on." Li Wei replied very seriously.

"Then, I think I can leave something for you to help you realize this wish as soon as possible." The old man said, a silver-white light gradually appeared from the place where his hands were folded, this light was not like that of ordinary metal It is cold and harsh, but a very mild taste, and it is gently fluctuating as if it is alive.

"No! Teacher Martin, you are seriously injured now, and the inheritance of grudge will kill you!" Fleischer blurted out in shock.

"I know my body. Even if I don't pass it on, it won't last long. Grievous... Oh, no, Miss Frasier, do you have the heart to see my battle qi inheritance cut off?" All the majesty on the old man's face has disappeared, and all that remains is a loving smile.Just after that trace of silver-white grudge appeared, the vigorous vitality in his body suddenly withered, and his face was quickly covered with an ominous gray layer.

"Li Wei, save him, please!" Fleischer suddenly turned his head and shouted, there was already a hint of crying in his voice.

Li Wei was also very surprised by the change in the old man's body. He didn't see any injuries on the old man's body just now, but on the old man's body, the flame of life seemed too strong, which was comparable to that of a man in his twenties. Young people, with a very unreal feeling.

And the old man sitting there now looks extremely decadent, with that old smell on his body
A hazy and soft white light emitted from Li Wei's hand, illuminating the dim room.Two rays of astonishment shot out from the eyes of the old man who was gradually losing his spirit, and the body leaning on the back of the chair trembled slightly.

"Young man, are you the patron of which god?" The old man's voice contained a unique sense of majesty, which almost stopped Li Wei's breathing for a moment.

"No, Your Majesty Martin, although I believe in the hero, God of War Baldr, I am not the patron of His Majesty. It is a secret of mine to be able to use healing techniques. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal everything to you." Li Wei His explanation brought relief to the old man's face.

If you are the patron of any god, you cannot deny it when you talk about your identity, otherwise you may lose the favor of the god.The old man nodded slowly, then shook his head and said: "Young man, no matter what the source of your medical magic is, it is useless to me, an old fellow, so save yourself Work hard."

"No, Mr. Martin, Li Wei's healing skills are very powerful, definitely comparable to the level of the regional bishop. I have experienced it myself!" Fleischer pleaded with tears, "You will definitely get better , let him try it."

The old man's smile seemed a little helpless, he nodded towards Li Wei, and said in a weak voice: "Okay, young man, you can try to use a healing technique on me and see what happens."

What will happen?
Li Wei felt a little strange in his heart, but seeing that the color on the old man's face was fading rapidly, he knew that he couldn't delay too much, so he immediately sent the light ball in his hand forward and threw it at the old man's chest.

The ball of light shone with soft white light, flew over, entered the old man's body, and then passed through it like nothing in Fleischer's expectant eyes!
"What's going on? Why didn't the healing technique work?" Fleischer couldn't help crying out in surprise.Li Wei's astonishment was not inferior to that of the female knight. He almost rubbed his eyes with his hands to see if he had missed something just now.

Although the white light ball passed through the old man's body, it seemed to have left a little extra vitality for the old man. The grayness on the old man's face faded a little, and his voice became a little clearer.

"It's a very powerful divine healing technique, and it seems that a trace of original power has been condensed in it...Miss Fleisher, you are right, this healing technique has indeed reached the level of the regional bishop." The old man panted slightly, and then looked at it. Look at the long sword on the table beside him. "But it's a pity, for an old guy like me who has completely exhausted his last bit of vitality, any medical magic will no longer be effective."

Unwillingly, Li Wei used his mental power to touch the healing rune in his mind again, and another ball of white light appeared in his hand, but at the same time, he also felt a slight tingling pain in his head. It feels like this is a warning that all mana has been exhausted.

Seeing Li Wei's efforts, the old man shook his head lightly and said, "Young man, stop doing futile things, my time is precious now... Hold my hand and accept the inheritance of this grudge. "

"Your Excellency Knight Martin, I cannot accept such a precious gift from you." Li Wei thought about it seriously, and chose to refuse politely but straightforwardly.

"It's not a gift, it's just an inheritance that an old man is unwilling to take away." The old man replied with a smile, "Ston's attendant, if I still have time, I will definitely teach Miss Frasier like I did. I will teach you the method of practicing this kind of battle qi. With your aptitude, you will definitely be able to push this kind of battle qi to a higher level..."

When the old man said this, his voice suddenly became hoarse. Li Wei hurriedly sent the white light ball in his hand into the old man's body. Although the white light ball penetrated the almost dilapidated body just like before and disappeared into the air, the old man The spirit still recovered a little.

"...However, I don't have time, so I can only choose to pass on the form of inheritance, so that this kind of fighting spirit will not be lost." After the old man finished speaking, he stretched out his slightly trembling hands towards Li Wei, and the silver-white fighting spirit was on his chest. Walking and shuttling in the palm of your hand, exuding a charming luster.

"Your Majesty Knight Martin, hasn't Miss Frasier already received your teaching? How can I lose this grudge?" Li Wei hesitated, but still didn't step forward to hold the old man's hands.

"Fleischer is limited by her aptitude and can't really reach the level of Dou Qi Tianhua, so she can't get all my teachings... Moreover, I don't want her to be able to use her last strength..." The old man's voice weakened again , Seeing the flame of hope burning in the old man's eyes, Li Wei finally nodded, took a step forward, and knelt down in front of the old man on one knee.

"In the name of the Chief Instructor of Swan Family Martial Arts and Grand Knight Commander Martin von Dierslan, the one who will inherit my fighting spirit, my sharp sword, and the name of my family in front of me! This wish... come true. "

Although the old man's hands didn't have much strength, they were still dry and stable. Following the old man's voice, Li Wei felt a burning sensation coming from those big hands.This feeling is like two billowing heat streams, getting into Levi's palm, and then climbing up along the arm.

Where the heat flow passed, there was an almost painful burning sensation. Li Wei gritted his teeth and endured it. The muscles on his arms bounced slightly, and sweat broke out on his forehead.Finally, after what seemed to be an extremely long time, the heat flow climbed to Li Wei's shoulders, and then quickly descended, making his whole body scorching hot in the blink of an eye.

An unstoppable feeling caused Li Wei to open his mouth suddenly and let out a loud cry. His whole body seemed to be bathed in high-temperature lava, but every bone and tendon was eagerly absorbing the scorching heat. the power of!Surrounded by this unclear pain or pleasure.Li Wei's facial features seemed to have temporarily lost their function, and there was only an incomparably bright silver-white light left in front of his eyes. There seemed to be countless people roaring and shouting in his ears, but no matter how concentrated he was, Li Wei couldn't hear it. what are they shouting.

Just when a trace of anxiety appeared in Li Wei's heart, the old man's voice, though hoarse and tired, sounded in Li Wei's ear with a decisive penetrating power. "Young man, everything in this village is entrusted to you. Please keep in mind that we are knights, and our motto is..."

"Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, and have nothing to fear!" Li Wei murmured, and then he seemed to see a particularly warm smile flashing across the majestic face of the old man.

Then fade away.

The silver-white light in front of his eyes and the roaring sound in his ears suddenly disappeared together. Li Wei looked around blankly, and found that he was still kneeling on the ground on one knee, and Knight Martin sat quietly in front of him, his smile was still warm, but the essence of life The last gleam of afterglow has disappeared from his body.
