From the inner city gate of the east gate to the outer city gate, there is a passage that is ten people wide. There are towering city walls on both sides of the passage. Inside the passage is the seat of the [Knight of the Mountain] Baldwin.
According to the tomb-keeper girl, no matter whether the mountain knight lost his mind or not, it is impossible for him to let Ivan pass through the east gate unharmed and go to the forbidden country outside the capital of Wright.
Ivan was also ready for battle. He cautiously walked in through the side door beside the city gate. First, he killed several malfunctioning soldiers lurking inside the city gate, holding hand crossbows waiting for an opportunity to attack, and then came to the main gate. Enter the passage between the east gates.
This passage is empty, and at a glance, you can see the opposite city gate leading to the outside world. In front of the city gate over there, there are countless corpses of soldiers, piled up like a mountain.
In this passage, Ivan did not find any trace of the "mountain knight", but he did not let his guard down and continued to move forward.
hum—
Halfway through, Ivan suddenly felt his scalp sink.
There was severe tinnitus in his ears, and in the tinnitus, he heard the voice of a man who was making his oath to someone.
"Humble, loyal, tenacious, industrious, thrifty, temperate, loving."
"In the face of a strong enemy, don't be afraid or fear, be brave and loyal, be worthy of your ancestors, be loyal and upright, rather die than surrender, protect the weak, and do not violate the law of heaven!"
"I swear to be kind to the weak."
"I swear to fight for loyalty and resist all violence."
"I swear to fight for the defenseless."
"I swear to always uphold the virtue of frugality."
…
The buzzing in his head reverberated, the voice seemed to be a rough male voice, and it made Ivan hold the wall next to him with some pain.
And it was at this time that the mountain of corpses opposite the city gate suddenly trembled, and then rose high and rose into the air.
Below the corpse mountain, a tall knight held a tower shield with one hand, propped up the entire corpse mountain, and stood at the end of the passage.
A red light burst out from the gap between the eyes of his armor, and the mouth of the armor has been cracked in half. Under the helmet, you can see his bared fangs and drool.
His armor was all gleaming gold, and it was worn heavily on his body, and in his other hand, he held a huge iron rod.
It is said to be an iron rod, but the weapon is actually just a large heavy iron block with a handle, and its weight is even more terrifying than the black sword, and normal humans cannot use it at all.
The legendary knight threw the tower shield with one hand, and threw all the corpse mountains above it to the side, then his blood-red eyes widened, and he raised his weapon to Ivan.
Ivan finally woke up at this time. He looked at the knight in front of him. For some reason, a terrible hatred surged up in his heart, and the anger burned his chest, making him unable to calm down.
He drew his sword, as if the anger in his chest had turned into substance, and his blade was ignited by a flame that was born out of thin air, turning into a flaming torch, and he held the sword, Roaring and charging towards the mountain knight.
Two monsters fought together in the center of the passage. One of them was tall, wearing heavy armor, and his strength was beyond human imagination.
Every time he took a step, the whole passage trembled. When he waved his weapon, the whole atmosphere trembled, and when he erected the tower shield, he was the most indestructible mountain, impeccable.
Another gray-haired knight, although weak, his movement skills and skills are extremely terrifying. He wielded a long sword of flames, looking for flaws in the impossible flaws of mountain knights, and giving him blows.
At the end of the mountain, the fire burned the mountain, and this mountain that stood for eternity and never fell, finally fell under the sword of Ivan.
After the mountain knight fell, Ivan gasped and fell to the ground.
His long sword was broken and melted because it couldn't bear the previous strength. The moment he fell, a large amount of light spurted out of the knight's body and entered his body.
Ivan's thinking suddenly fell into chaos.
He felt himself sinking into the depths of his brain. A piece of light flew from somewhere, awakening the spirit of the light, or a memory that was dormant in his mind.
It was a burly man, dressed in armor, with a strong face, with a bald head, and a golden beard that grew from his cheeks to his neck.
In front of him, there was a blurry figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
"As long as I help you, are those things mine?"
The knight looked up, but greed was written all over his face.
"The gold, the treasure, the treasure we have acquired over the years, you will give it to me, right?"
--------
Memory interruption.
Ivan's mind was thrown out of the sea of thought and returned to his own body.
"Who was that person just now?"
He touched the cold sweat oozing from his forehead and glanced at his feet.
The knights of the mountains, who have stood for a long time, have turned into a pool of white ashes and disappeared quietly.
Ivan wiped the sweat off the top of his head.
Unable to understand, he simply decided to move on.
The long sword on the ground was no longer usable, but Ivan managed to pull out a tower shield from where the mountain knight fell.
This is exactly the side that the mountain knight held in his hand and held up the corpse mountain, but now it has shrunk to a size that humans can use.
Ivan tried it. He couldn't hold the black sword, but after successfully absorbing the "spirit" of the mountain knight, he was able to carry the shield, which was a pleasant surprise.
He decisively abandoned the broken log shield he found in the cemetery before, and carried the tower shield behind his back.
There was nothing stopping him on the road ahead. After exiting the eastern gate of Wright Capital, Ivan went down the mountain road and found himself back to the big dark river.
On the river bank here, there is also a big gong and a stone ferry.
Ivan rang the big gong, and soon, a row of flames ignited on the river, and the rickety old man rowed the boat to Ivan, and said to him with a low smile:
"Hey, I didn't expect us to meet again. I really saw you correctly, knight, you are someone who can walk in this world in this world."
"Please take another ride with me."
Ivan went up and took a seat at the back of the boat.
"I want to go to the country across from here, I heard it's a forbidden country."
"Huh? Looks like you've met someone who knows a lot about history."
The old man did not refuse, but showed a meaningful smile and began to ferry.
