Chapter 243

"Those two are indeed the royal knights of Canal."

With the two knights, Garland and his party returned to the palace in the afternoon.

The high priest, who was dissatisfied because Garlan suddenly spent the night outside, came to look for him immediately after Garlan returned, but before he could speak, he was blocked by Garlan with this incident.

After meeting the knight of Canal named Moya in person, Xie Muer affirmed the identity of the other party.

"Four years ago, the crown prince of Canal got married. At that time, I went to congratulate on behalf of Aaron Landis. I have met this person."

Shemuel said,

"At that time, he was with King Canal, and he should be very trusted by King Canal."

Garland nodded.

"That is to say, what they said about the Prince of West Asia is still alive and imprisoned by the religion of all things is true."

"This little prince of West Asia is really unlucky..."

The little fat man Tarr, who was beside him, couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

"But the two knights were lucky. If they didn't just bump into Lord Kaihos and the others, I'm afraid they would have died in the valley in the middle of the night."

Hearing what Tarr said, Garlan suddenly remembered something and asked Kaijos strangely.

"Speaking of which, Kaijos, what are you doing in the woods so far away with Heimos at night?"

Kaihos: "..."

That's fighting to protect you.

Strike back the wolf's paw that is reaching out to you.

Of course, it was impossible to say such words in front of Garlan.

He hesitated not knowing how to answer.

Fortunately, the high priest, who had no interest in his personal affairs, spoke up and relieved him, although the high priest did not intend that.

"King Garland, what are you going to do?"

Schimuel offered his opinion.

"The royal family of Canal and the royal family of Aaron Landis have always been in contact with each other, and they have been friends for a long time. Although Canal has now fallen, but since the last survivor of the royal family of Canal came to ask for help, I think we should Free the prince."

"I think so too."

The young king who was distracted by Xie Muer nodded, not paying attention to his relieved guardian knight.

"The religion of all things..."

Garland uttered these three words.

His voice sounded very calm, but it was this calm tone that made people feel heart palpitations, with some invisible sense of oppression.

Before the religion of all things, they were mainly active in Aaron Landis and Canal. Because Canal is relatively rich and stable, they chose Aaron Landis, which has always been at war, as the main activity area.

And since Gallan took the throne, it not only stabilized Aaron Landis, who was almost caught in the war, but also began to attack the religion of all things with the greatest strength after stabilization.

As long as the religion of all things appeared anywhere, he would ruthlessly send a large army to slaughter and destroy everything on the altar.

King Gallan even issued a decree that made the religion of all things abhorrent—everyone who notices the trace of the religion of all things and informs the people of the ruling government will get a large bounty if they verify it is true. Even, if the ability is sufficient and the character is qualified after the inspection, it can be given to the low-level official position of the township.

The consequence of this is that the religion of all things is completely caught in the war of the vast sea of the people, and it loses a mess.

If during the time of King Kamos, who also suppressed them, they just hid in Tibet, lurking in the gutter like mice and continued to do things in secret, now King Garlan has only been in power for more than a year, and they have almost been hiding. There is no place.

Several sacrificial sites that were destroyed were all secretly reported by the public.

This also makes it even more difficult for them to develop believers—because they themselves are not sure, if they contact the believers they want to develop today, they will turn around and sell them tomorrow.

Therefore, the religion of all things has gradually disappeared in Aaron Landis recently.

However, after being occupied by the Gasdads, Kanal, whose vast territory was still in chaos, became their best breeding ground.

They gradually withdrew from Aaron Landis and became active in the chaotic frontier of Canal and Aaron Landis.

Although Gallan has always wanted to uproot the cult of the Religion of Everything, but according to the Continental Convention, as King Aaron Landis, he cannot send an army into the territory of Karnal.

But now, the prince of Canal begged him for help, and he could justifiably send troops into the borders of Canal.

In a certain room of the palace, after talking to the high priest who had had a relationship with him several times, Moya was lying on the bed, but he was uneasy.

After going through untold hardships, they finally met the rumored young king and completed their mission.

However, his heart was still heavy.

During the year he was imprisoned by the Church of Everything, he and other companions were trying to find an opportunity to rescue the prince. In such a long time, some solutions have been found.

It's just because those cultists are very closely guarded by the Prince of West Asia who is concerned with the treasure, they can't find any chance at all.

Moreover, the Prince of West Asia was like a walking corpse that didn't care about anything this year, and they were helpless.

This time, after Prince West finally regained his strength again, although the whole person is still gloomy and cold, he is much more sober and decisive than before.

He directly told Moya and others to leave him alone and escape by himself.

Moya and the other knights naturally refused, but Prince West said with a blank expression that they couldn't save themselves at all. Instead of spending time here, they might as well try to escape by themselves and go to Aaron Landis. King Garland asks for help.

It turned out that the Prince of West Asia was right, they simply did not have the ability to escape with the prince.

Just their group of them escaped desperately, and they were constantly chased and killed by believers of the All Things Religion along the way, and their companions lost their lives one after another.

When they escaped to the vicinity of the royal city, only the two of them were left.

If it weren't for luck, to meet those two powerful knights who are famous in the world - he already knew that the one who was with the knight of the scorching sun that night was the black knight of the same name as the knight of the scorching sun - both of them would be silent. Died in the valley, no one knows.

Moya remembered.

The words the Prince of West said to himself before they escaped.

The Prince of West Asia said, don't tell the story of the royal treasures of the Karnar royal family. If King Garlan doesn't want to help, forget it, and don't worry about his life or death.

As for these knights, whether they want to vote for someone else, or commit suicide and die for the country, they can do whatever they want.

Moya still remembers the indifferent expression on the prince's face and the emotionless tone of his speech.

He was obviously still a child less than ten years old, but his eyes were gloomy and lifeless.

Thinking of the prince's lifeless eyes like an abyss, Moya's heart suddenly became heavy.

He never thought about it, or should say, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

Even if people can be rescued, the prince's heart... has been completely destroyed by hatred and pain.

Such a prince... what will he look like in the future...

Just that night, while the knight Moya was tossing and turning on the bed, on the other side, in Garlan's palace, the roar of the high priest of Shamash shook the whole room.

"I disagree!"

Xie Mu'er stared at Garland sternly, with a firm tone and no room for change.

"I would never agree to this."

Garland glanced at him.

"Xie Mu'er, I'm just 'informing' you about this, not asking for your consent."

Xie Muer said angrily: "As the lord of a country, how can you go to dangerous places in person?"

"It's just a den of the Religion of Everything. It doesn't even count the battlefield. With Kaihos accompanied, I don't think there will be any danger."

"Even with him—"

"Ximul, either you help me make all the preparations, or I will find an opportunity to leave by myself."

The young man sitting on the white jade veranda with his knees bent slightly tilted his head, put one hand on his bent knee, and smiled at his high priest.

"Unless you can make sure that you can keep an eye on me so I can't sneak out."

Shemuer: "..."

A breath was stuck in his throat, choking the High Priest, and he couldn't get up and down.

He always felt that King Camos was capricious enough to give him a headache.

Unexpectedly, Garlan, who has become a king, is better than blue, and from time to time, a sneak disappearance incident makes him very upset.

At any rate, King Camos has always been afraid of him talking, and he can be honest and compromise, but now that he is replaced by Garlan, it has become that he is often stuck by Garlan.

In the end, almost all the people who had no choice but to compromise were him.

Just like this time...

"… I understand."

Xie Muer took a deep breath and kept telling himself in his heart.

Calm down, must be calm, now in front of him is not Prince Garland, but King Garland.

As a priest of Shamash who observes ceremonial regulations, he cannot be disrespectful to the king.

Yes, it can't.

After repeatedly admonishing himself several times, the high priest finally suppressed his urge to scold Garlan with all his firepower.

"I will prepare everything for you."

"However, I also have a request," he said.

"what?"

"In addition to Kaijos, please ask His Excellency Heimos to accompany you."

Since he couldn't get rid of the idea of Gallan going in person, Xie Muer could only ensure Gallan's safety as much as possible under the premise of compromise, and put the two strongest knights of Aaron Landis to Gal together. Lan, let him pack it and take it away.

Garland was startled.

If it was replaced before, he had already agreed.

but…

"Heimos just... No need, he still needs to sit in the king's city, and it's enough to have Kaijos to accompany me."

Since the incident the day before yesterday, he felt embarrassed when he saw Heimos, and he always wanted to avoid him unconsciously.

"There is nothing more important than your safety. Even if the royal city is destroyed, as long as you are still here, Aaron Landis will be as safe as Mount Tverul."

Xie Muer said that he watched Gallan calmly, not giving in an inch.

"Please grant my request."

Garlan looked at him and nodded helplessly.

Kaihos, who was standing on the side, didn't speak all the time, just turned his head and glanced to one side.

Through the window, he could vaguely see the figure in black who came here not long ago and suddenly stood still in the courtyard far away.

He just looked at the figure and turned away.

Turning back, the blond knight's eyes were a little complicated.

Because he planned to go to the western border and see if the situation needed to mobilize the army, Garlan secretly left the palace with only a team of knights, about a hundred people.

Not to mention that each of these elite knights are loyal and outstanding in martial arts, just the existence of Kaihos and Heimos on the left and right is enough to make this team terrifyingly strong.

Garlan felt that with this luxurious configuration, even if he went to the territory of the Karnal country controlled by the Gasdads, he would be able to return unscathed in the end.

Not to mention just to solve a secret den of a cult.

Because Knight Moya was seriously injured, the young knight led the way.

These more than 100 people avoided the crowded places and hurried all the way to the west from the remote place.

After rushing to the evening, Caijos chose a flat ground near the river, and camped here.

Soon it was late at night, and the crescent moon hung high in the sky.

The bonfire in the camp was burning, the fire illuminated the dark night here, and the whole camp was quiet a little bit.

Just as Garlan took off his cloak and was taking off his boots, someone suddenly opened the tent's curtain and walked in.

He subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced, and his eyes suddenly froze.

The familiar tall figure walked in, the warm yellow fire in the tent reflected on the man's handsome side cheeks, those golden red eyes, as always, fell on him at all times.

Just looking at each other, Garlan looked away uncomfortably.

When Heimos watched so intently before, he was used to it since he was a child, and he didn't feel anything. But since that day... I don't know why, when Heimos looked at him like this, he felt a little weird...

Seeing Garlan avoiding his gaze, Heimos pursed his lower lip and lowered his eyes.

He didn't say anything, just walked in and started to take off his armor.

Garland was surprised.

"What are you doing here undressing—?"

The frightened teenager looked at each other vigilantly like a kitten whose whole body had exploded.

"Ximuer told me before I left that when I go to bed at night, Kejos and I must have someone by your side." Heimos said lightly, "Tonight Kejos is in charge of the vigil, so I'm here. here."

Garland: "..."

Xie Muer, can you not be so protective of me

Sitting on the cot with his knees bent, Garlan didn't know what to say for a while.

Because of the lightness and simplicity of travel, the tent that I bring is also the smallest and lightest, with very little space and can accommodate up to three or four people.

So he and Heimos are actually very close.

But both of them were silent and did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

Garland was a little confused.

In the past, he and Heimos were often alone together, but at that time he had been chatting and laughing with Heimos casually, just like he was talking with Kaijos and others.

He had never felt more uncomfortable than now.

Garlan glanced at Heimos from the corner of his eye.

Heimos had taken off his armor, and his body wearing only a thin shirt looked extremely fit in the light, and the tight skin texture lines were like sculptures.

He sat on the other cot, his eyes drooping, his jet-black hair fell slantingly, half covering the corners of his narrow eyes.

Thin lips, a little shimmer in the light.

The more you want to forget some memories, the more they will linger in your mind.

When he saw Heimos' lips, the words Heimos said not long ago suddenly resounded in his mind.

… 'In every late night dream... '…

Garlan took a deep breath, he was a little panicked.

Now, it is late at night.

But he and Heimos were alone again.

Lonely and widowed.

This guy has a strong desire for him again.

In case this guy is the same as last night, suddenly the beastly burst out...

calm down.

It's in the camp now, everyone is there, and Caijos is there, and the thin layer of camp can't stop any sound.

It was impossible for Heimos to force him under such circumstances...

Garlan repeatedly comforted himself in his heart for a long time before calming himself down.

However-

Just when he just relaxed, when he looked up, he was shocked to find that Heimos was standing in front of him at some point.

At the same time, the right hand is reaching out to him.

My heart is tight.

Brain panic.

Almost instinctively, Garlan raised his hand and slammed, opening the hand that Heimos stretched out to him.

The crisp snap was especially loud in the quiet tent.

The tent was eerily silent.

Heimos stared at his opened hand, at the red marks that had appeared on the back of his hand.

A terrifying shimmer flashed across the golden-red eyes uncontrollably.
