Lin Lun was in charge of the archer team.
He went to Douglas' place to look for Douglas, but Owen told him that Glass was with Ji Jinrong. Lin Lun was filled with jealousy and resentment, but he could only ask Owen to invite Douglas over, saying that he had something important to discuss.
Douglas paused when he heard Owen's words, and said to Ji Jinrong, "I'll go there."
Ji Jinrong was reading a book, when he heard this, he blinked and said, "Where is Lord Douglas going, you don't need to report to me!"
Owen pretended not to hear Ji Jinrong's intimate words, and tried hard to turn himself into an invisible person.
After returning at noon, Douglas never explained to him about the Dark Night Adventure Team. After leaving Ji Jinrong's residence, Owen couldn't help asking: "My lord, the Dark Night Adventure Team—"
Douglas interrupted his questioning: "We'll talk about it after seeing Lin Lun."
He hasn't figured out how to tell his subordinates everything.
Lin Lun was sitting there drinking tea, his figure looked very slender, very different from the knights. He is a very talented archer, practicing archery all the year round made him feel very keen, and immediately noticed Douglas' arrival.
Lin Lun stood up and shouted, "Douglas."
Douglas nodded to him.
Lin Lun glanced at Owen, and met Douglas' calm and indifferent eyes: "Douglas, are you going to hide it from everyone?"
Douglas frowned.
Lin Lun said: "I think at least Owen and the others need to know."
Owen was confused, and asked: "What do we need to know?"
Lin Lun said: "Owen, you should have noticed that the Dark Night Adventure Team has evacuated from Quicksand City, right?"
Owen nodded.
Lin Lun said, "Do you know why?"
Douglas scolded: "Lin Lun!"
Lin Lun looked awe-inspiring: "Master Douglas!"
Douglas fell silent.
Lin Lun said: "They will evacuate because they are all demons!"
Owen blurted out: "Impossible!" He didn't believe this absurd thing, "The members of the Dark Night Adventure Team have lived in the imperial capital for at least ten or twenty years. If they are demons, how dare they settle in the imperial capital? What's more, after so many years, there has been no news of a member of the Dark Night Adventure Team going berserk—how could the demons not go berserk for more than ten or twenty years?"
Lin Lun told about the black feather bird.
After finishing speaking, Lin Lun added: "Their dark night adventure team must have very high-level mages, and they can refine various A-level or even A-level potions for them-this will ensure that they have enough inhibitory potions to use. !"
Owen thought of the thirty bottles of Grade A medicine in his hand.
Since the knights are not fully prepared, this batch of potions has not yet been used!
The existence of these medicines is just the evidence of what Lin Lun said.
Could it be that what Lin Lun said is true
Owen couldn't help asking Douglas for confirmation.
Douglas said, "Yes, it is true."
Lin Lun was right, Owen and the others had the right to know Ji Jinrong's identity. Because if Ji Jinrong approached him and infiltrated the Knights of Light to steal their course of action and set a trap in advance, then Owen and the others would lose their lives!
Owen was stunned when he heard what Douglas said.
If Ji Jinrong was from the demon clan, wouldn't their knight commander be deceived? Thinking of Ji Jinrong's still intimate tone just now, Owen felt angry. How can that guy act like nothing happened? It seems that his deceit and his ulterior motives are not wrong at all!
It is the first time that Lord Knight likes someone so much, how sad he must be!
Owen said, "My lord, you—"
Douglas glanced at Owen lightly, blocking what Owen was about to say: "I will take good care of him and prevent him from doing anything that is detrimental to the Knights."
Owen thought of another thing: "Then can we still use the strength potion they provided?"
Lin Lun said positively: "I can help you contact the appraisers of the auction house. Their strength is very high and their appraisal ability is very strong. If there is something wrong with the strength potion they gave, they will definitely be able to check it out there!"
Owen said, "Then please leave it to Mrs. Lin Lun!"
Lin Lun said: "It's nothing. Our archer battalion has to rely on your knights to protect us along the way." Archers are suitable for long-range attacks, and their combat effectiveness is not too strong. If they fight in close quarters, they will definitely lose.
Owen said: "This is what we should do!"
Lin Lun was going to take Douglas for an appraisal immediately.
Douglas called to stop them: "What if the strength potion is okay?"
Owen was taken aback.
Lin Lun said: "If there is no problem, it can be used!"
Douglas said, "So you don't have to apologize to Gary for your doubts?"
Owen was momentarily speechless.
Lin Lun said confidently: "He is a demon, isn't it normal to suspect that he has ulterior motives? How could he be so kind and take out 30 bottles of A-level potions and give them to you—"
Douglas said coldly: "If you doubt it, don't use it."
Owen heard the sullenness in Douglas's calm tone, and said with some concern: "My lord, if, as you said, Gary is really a demon, you... how can you defend him like this? Protect a demon? Are you Are you really bewitched by him?"
Douglas said: "Did Gary inquire about the Knights of Light along the way? Every time we have an important decision to discuss, Gary will take the initiative to avoid it." Douglas said, and his eyes gradually became clear. Yes, although Gary approached him on purpose, he was only approaching him. He would obediently avoid everything else, as if just staying by his side was enough.
In contrast, all he gave Gary was a promise that he didn't know could be fulfilled.
That promise also had a premise—
After destroying the Dark Temple.
As if they couldn't be together without destroying the Dark Temple.
Yes, Gary is a demon, with demon blood in his body, a race with thorns on his back. However, Gary has made so much effort to integrate into human life. He and his adventure team have done so many things for the Orton Empire, insisting on participating in the establishment of civilian schools and civilian medical centers, and injecting a steady stream of funds and talents into them. Only when he knew that they were going to wipe out the Demon Race territory and destroy the Black Demon Temple, did he dare to come to him and offered to go with him.
Gary said, everything I do is to come to your side.
For Lin Lun, it was so easy, but for Gary, the road was full of thorns.
And he didn't do anything, just watched Gary struggle through the thorns.
Was he bewitched by Gary? Yes, he was indeed bewitched by Gary. At this moment, he suddenly realized how shallow his love for Gary was—so shallow that it was similar to "Since you love me so much, I will forcefully respond to you", and then enjoyed Gary's love with a superior attitude. Such cognition made him feel terrified and scared. He was terrified that he was so selfish in front of Gary, who loved him deeply, and he was afraid that such selfishness would make him lose Gary one day.
No one will keep a love with only one-way giving forever, right
Douglas clenched his fists.
Douglas said firmly: "Since you doubt him, don't use it." He asked someone to bring Brown over, and asked Owen to put all the strength potions on the table.
Brown arrived at the first time, still looking simple and honest.
Douglas sat Brown down, told him that Ji Jinrong was a demon, and told him about Ji Jinrong's desire to destroy the Black Demon Temple and live as an ordinary person.
Brown listened carefully to what Douglas said. He was quiet for a long time before he said, "My lord, you are very happy when you are with Gary." Brown's voice was firm and clear, "Gary, he really loves you, and only those who really love you will care about your troubles, Your concerns, stand by your side unswervingly and you do what you want to do. If Gary is really a demon, then what Gary has done in the past ten years proves that demons can also be like humans Living a normal life also proves that they are not all cruel, cold-blooded and sinful."
Owen opened his eyes wide: "Brown!" He looked at the tall knight sitting beside Douglas, "Have you forgotten how your parents died?"
"My parents died protecting the Orton Empire," Brown said.
Owen is speechless.
Brown said: "I remember Owen, your father died because of our war with the Polk Empire, and now the Polk Empire has frequent business contacts with our Orton Empire. Owen, you hate everyone who comes to the Orton Empire Polks?"
Owen fell silent.
In the beginning, Owen was indeed hostile to the Polk people who came to the Orton Empire, but this hostility became numb day by day under the decision-making of the empire. After more than ten years, he has been able to get out of the hatred and admit that the Polk people There are indeed many excellent places, and it is not like I used to think that I only know how to fight bravely.
Could it be that Gary's hard work in the past ten years can't compare to the little sincerity of the Polk people
Owen thought of the friendship along the way, and the delicious food that changed every meal along the way—he even got along very well with the big vice-captain of the Dark Night Adventure Team, and liked his frank and straightforward temper. After hearing that they might be demons, he immediately forgot all about it.
If it is really like what Douglas said, their goal is to destroy the Temple of the Dark Devil—they have worked a thousand times harder than others, just to live an ordinary life like an ordinary human being—
Could it be that just because their ancestors had the thorns representing evil on their backs, they will live as "evil" life after life
Owen lowered his head.
He felt that he was ashamed of the code of chivalry and had not been fair and tolerant.
How dare Gary and the others reveal the identity of the Demon Race? See what he did after he found out
An unspeakable silence spread in the room.
After a long time, Brown reached out and picked up a bottle of strength potion on the table: "Anyway, I trust Gary!" He opened the potion of strength and poured it into his mouth. Before the potion took effect, he stood up, his face full of determination, "If you must appraise, then wait for a long time—if I have a problem after half a day, it will prove that what you said is right! I will first Go to the Tower of Power." Half an hour after taking the potion of strength, the power of the potion will spread all over the body, and then it will be the best time for a warrior to break through!
Owen just felt hot on his face.
He also picked up a bottle of potion, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you."
Douglas put away the rest of the potions.
He looked at Lin Lun: "My knights have made a choice, you can go back."
Douglas didn't want to have a word with Lin Lun.
His palms trembled slightly.
He couldn't wait to see Ji Jinrong, and wanted to tell Ji Jinrong that it didn't matter even if he was a demon.
Even if he is a demon, he can stand by his side dignifiedly.
He does not regard his parentage as a shame or a sin.
Yes, he will never do that again.
Douglas didn't look at Lin Lunqing's pale face.
He walked quickly to Ji Jinrong's room.
He wanted to see him right away—
He wanted to see his Gary right away.
