This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 204 The Death of a Hero

It sounds outrageous that a person's life and death may affect the fate of a country, but Winston Wright, the Knight of the Silver Moon, deserves this honor.

Everyone knows that Winston Wright is the strongest paladin, bar none.

Even the founding emperor Arthur Lane, judging from historical records, should not be able to compare with the Knight of the Silver Moon.

 But unlike many geniuses, Winston Wright became a legend when he was seventy-eight years old.

Compared with those paladins who became legends in their forties or fifties, Winston Wright was much less talented and his record was not that dazzling.

 But since his promotion, Winston Wright has pushed the gold content of the legend to an incredible level.

Being able to kill the lich and its phylactery together, this achievement shocked the entire country of Lane at that time. The emperor personally awarded him the title of Knight of the Silver Moon, which was an honorable title independent of all titles.

This old man's holy light looks ordinary, but its purity surpasses everyone else, as if it was cast by the gods themselves.

 His Holy Slash has long since broken away from its original appearance and has become incredibly powerful.

He is not good at leading troops, nor does he know much about tactics, but as long as he appears on the battlefield, he can change the situation of the battle with just one sword.

In the City of Fangs, a group of paladins were waiting nervously outside the door. Lying in the room was the old man who was over 150 years old.

Allen also worked very hard. In the previous battle, he even held down an orc legend by himself. Although there were several holes poked in his body, he held down this legend who was good at sneak attacks by himself. It lasted two minutes and received support from other paladins.

 “Haha, why are you crying? I’m not dead yet.”

Allan didn't know how to face this fact. He had not been with Winston Wright for a long time, but he already regarded him as his teacher and even half-father.

As a result, after spending so little time together, the two were about to separate. Even though he knew that the teacher would definitely enter the Kingdom of the Lord of the Morning, Allen couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

Just when tears were about to overflow from his eyes, the old man on the bed suddenly laughed out loud.

 The old man on the bed was not only a hero of the empire, but also his teacher.

He is like a bag that has been mended and mended for many years. Now even the original fabric has been worn to the point of being transparent, and it will turn into pieces with just a slight tug.

 After recovering from his injury, Allen finally reached the legendary level.

 Alan Watson's face showed uncontrollable sadness.

Although Winston Wright never admitted it, he had no reservations about the young man Alan. Not only did he use his reputation to guarantee him and make him a city guard, he also taught Allen all his combat experience.

The human body is too fragile. Even a person who has always been pampered will find it difficult to live to the age of 150, let alone an old man who has spent half his life in the military. He bears not only the wrinkles of time but also the scars of thousands of battles.

 Winston Wright is the undefeated legend of the Lion Empire, and no evil can ever withstand his sword.

No matter how much life force those light priests poured into him, they could only barely maintain his breathing.

Even when fighting against the orcs, Winston Wright defied all odds and took Alan, a young man who had failed many times, with him.

Allen was startled and quickly looked at Winston Wright, finding that his sallow face suddenly turned rosy, as if he had regained his vitality.

And Allen has just turned twenty, and he is the youngest legendary paladin in the history of the Lion Empire.

 Winston Wright lay on the bed, his face sallow.

 But such a legend among legends has finally reached the end of his life.

The Priest of Light, who had just performed the magic, shook his head at Alan Watson who was standing at the head of the bed, but did not dare to say more.

　　　Full of joy to share this joy with this mentor, Winston Wright fell. The old man, who was invincible on the battlefield, fainted and fell to the ground in front of Allen. Allen was shocked and rushed him to treatment, but the sad result was that he was hopeless.

 But Allen knew very well that this was just his last bit of life, and the teacher was really leaving, maybe only a few minutes or even seconds left.

Allan wanted to reassure Winston Wright, but he opened his mouth and said half a sentence: "Teacher, I..."

 In the end, Allen couldn't help but shed tears.

Winston Wright comforted him and said: "Okay, you can cry if you want. Anyway, there is no one else here. But don't just cry. I have a few words to tell you."

 Allen quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Teacher, please give me your instructions."

“It’s not an order, it’s just...forget it, do you know why I didn’t officially accept you as a student?” Winston Wright asked.

Allen replied: "The teacher doesn't want me to have too much pressure." Winston Wright said: "Yes, no matter what outsiders think, you are not my student, so you don't need to bear my responsibilities. Perhaps, you Just survive.”

Winston Wright has had many disciples in his life, and each of them is a genius in the empire and the most outstanding young man. They also never let Winston Wright down, and they are all heroes of the Empire.

It's a pity that the name of a disciple of the Silver Moon Knight is too heavy.

 You are a disciple of the Silver Moon Knight. You are not ten times better than others. Are you embarrassed? If you can't turn the tide, what qualifications do you have to become that gentleman's disciple?

Although no one would say it, everyone thought so, including Winston Wright’s students, who themselves did not allow themselves to be mediocre.

 But the dangers of the battlefield are never better because of a name. Every one of Winston Wright's students died on the battlefield, and some even died in front of his eyes.

Winston Wright regretted that he should not have put this pressure on those immature young people.

 Allen, like his disciples, has outstanding talents. But he was also immature, so he was defeated by the lich again and again. It’s not his fault, even Winston Wright himself was tricked by that lich. This is an extremely cunning lich. The empire should put him at the top of the wanted list instead of removing his name. .

In the last few days of his life, Winston Wright taught Alan everything he knew, but he did not give Alan any status as a student, only treating him as a "servant".

 In this way, Allen does not need to bear the name of Silver Moon Knight.

This young man should go his own way. Maybe he can become a Sun Knight and become another great hero of the empire.

Winston Wright was originally worried that Allen would not be able to figure it out, so when he was dying, he wanted to untie his knot. Unexpectedly, this young man was smarter and calmer than he thought. He had already seen it. His good intentions.

 In this case, there is nothing to worry about.

"Alan, I will give you three final pieces of advice. You must remember them."

Allen said excitedly: "Teacher, please tell me, I will definitely remember it and I will never forget it even if I die!"

Winston Wright said very solemnly: "First, you can't show any mercy to your enemies. This is cruelty to yourself."

Allen said firmly: "I remember, I will never hesitate when my sword strikes."

Winston Wright nodded and continued: "Second, recognize your enemies. It is not just the undead that are evil in this world. There are also many hidden evils within the empire. You must see clearly."

Alan said unexpectedly: "Teacher, what are you talking about? The evil within the empire?"

Eren's father is the highest judge of the empire, and can be said to be the highest judge of the entire country. If there is really any crime hidden, then wouldn't it be that his father... was either derelict in his duties or complicit in the crime?

Winston Wright did not answer this question, but continued: "The third article, we believe in the Lord of the Morning, light and justice, not the words written in the book, not the dogma memorized since childhood. When you When you are confused, you must remember this!”

Allen felt that something was wrong with the situation. What the teacher said became more and more wrong.

 Did he lose his mind when he was dying?

 Unfortunately, Allen could no longer ask clearly. After saying this, Winston Wright closed his eyes, his heartbeat began to weaken rapidly, and his life finally came to an end.

Allen quickly let the light priests in, and the priests hurriedly cast magical spells on Winston Wright. Even though they know this is meaningless, they still have to show some effort.

This is a hero of the empire. If word spreads without working hard, he will definitely be held accountable.

Alan stood aside in silence, watching the priests of light perform various magical spells on the teacher, barely keeping his heart that should have stopped beating long ago.

Winston Wright’s brows furrowed, showing an extremely painful expression.

How much torture has he endured at this moment?

Eren couldn't help but think of the teacher's words just now. He forcibly dragged an old man and refused to let him die peacefully. Instead, he continued to torture him. Is this also light and justice?

Alan roared angrily at these light priests: "That's enough! Let the teacher go to the Kingdom of God, and don't torture him anymore!"

However, Allen's roar was ignored at all.

Instead, another white-haired paladin said loudly: "Is it your turn to speak? Alan Watson, get out! It's not your turn to talk about my grandfather!"

This paladin's name is Alan Wright, he is seventy years old, and he is the grandson of Winston Wright. He had long disliked Alan Watson. Why did his grandfather let this guy stay with him? Even his grandson did not have this honor.

Allan was speechless. The moment Winston Wright closed his eyes, he completely became an "outsider".

 He took a deep look at the teacher who was still rescuing him, turned around and left the room.

 From today on, you have to walk the road ahead on your own.
