Chapter 171 The Secret of the World
Matthew looked shocked and looked at Karl in disbelief as he searched for something on the corpse in the field.
It took a long time to come back to reality.
The desperate, mighty and invincible knight in shining armor just now lay on the ground silently?
Almost broke the defense?
That means the defense hasn't been broken yet?
“Young man.”
Carl walked up to Matthew, glanced at him, and paused slightly in several places:
“Your luck Not bad."
"Uh..." Matthew laughed dryly:
"Thank you Mr. Karl. Without you, I'm afraid I would have died. This is the second time you have saved me."
"So I say you are lucky." Karl smiled:
"Let's go!"
He saw that Matthew had a few good things on him, probably from the Zodiac, but he didn't want to grab them yet.
Not to mention that a lot has been harvested from the corpses on the ground.
"Yes."
Matthew hurriedly propped himself up and trotted ahead to lead the way, or to explore the way, and said:
"Mr. Carl, this should be the core area of the inner city. That’s where the city lord lives.”
“Huh?”
Just as he entered the light gate, his eyes suddenly blurred.
What came into view was not the core area of the inner city that he imagined, but a desolate and cold land.
Broken ruins, pig-sized mice, monsters with bat wings, and mummies wandering around...
The broken blood moon hangs in the sky, the cold wind sweeps, and the broken clothes are blown by the strong wind. The hunting sound is heard.
A scene of doomsday and desolation.
“Wow…”
The baby's cry suddenly sounded.
Matthew's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly ran in the direction of the cry.
Although I don’t know where I am now, it is difficult for a baby to survive in this environment.
Take a step forward, and the distant voice is suddenly close to you, and a shriveled baby with half its body buried in the soil comes into view.
The baby should have just been born. His skin is full of wrinkles and his eyes are still half-open.
"Be good!"
"Don't cry."
At this moment, a knight in armor appeared next to the baby and picked him up carefully.
In order to prevent the hard armor from hurting the baby, the knight took off his armor and put the baby against his hot chest.
At the same time.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist with his right hand and looked around at the various mummies and ghosts attracted by the cries.
"Be careful!"
Matthew shouted, subconsciously waving the bone stick to help, but he didn't want the bone stick to pass through a mummy easily.
Huh?
“It’s an illusion!”
Karl appeared next to Matthew and spoke slowly:
“A very real illusion.”
Although he didn’t know why the other party used the illusion to trap him, at present, it seemed that there was no malice.
While talking,
the fantasy scene is still being played out.
The knight held the baby in his arms and fought his way out. He staggered to a place and handed the baby to an old man to take care of him.
And this place...
The Holy Church!
“God loves the world!”
“The will of the evil god is scattered on the earth and may be revived at any time. The church must remember its responsibilities...”
"Awaken the goddess, suppress the evil demon..."
A five or six-year-old boy sat cross-legged in the church teacher, listening to the teacher's teachings with a serious face.
The next moment.
“Yeah!”
“Drink!”
The little boy was holding a wooden sword, his eyes were wide open, and he was learning sword skills every move. In the blink of an eye, he became a big boy.
A boy who reaches the age of sixteen gets a set of armor and a knight's sword, and leaves the church to travel to the outside world.
"Mr. Carl."
Matthew whispered:
"It seems to be the growth process of the baby."
"Yeah."
Karl nodded.
After the boy left the church, he abided by the teachings of the church, adhered to justice and kindness, and walked on this continent full of dangers.
He has seen countless people displaced due to drought, and he has also seen cities slaughtered by strange beasts...
He has also met many homeless children like him.
I have made friends, been betrayed, and seen the sinister human heart, but I have never changed my original intention.
However,
Facing an increasingly dangerous world, I feel increasingly powerless.
The innocence in his eyes as a baby and the strong fighting spirit in his youth eventually turned into sadness.
“In this world, demons and ghosts are rampant and evil things are everywhere. All living beings are struggling miserably and it is difficult to find relief.”
In ruins.
The adult knight knelt on his knees, his tears already dry, watching helplessly as a pair of babies died in front of him.
In his sight, corpses fell to the ground, stretching to the horizon, endlessly.
"How can we save the common people?"
The knight asked himself, but could not find the answer, so he could only trek through the world step by step with his sword in hand. One year!
Two years!
……
One hundred years!
The knight is gray-haired, but feels more and more helpless.
Abandoned cities, corpses on the ground, helpless sentient beings, and the knight finally determined the answer in his heart.
“Only God can save this world.”
The light and shadow flickered in front of their eyes, and an old man in white appeared in front of them. The old man’s wrinkled cheeks were full of sorrow and compassion. meaning.
He knelt down on one knee in front of Karl, and said solemnly:
"Dear guardian, please follow me back to the church. Only you, only the goddess, can save everything. ”
Matthew's heart moved.
The old man in white kneeling on the ground in front of him is the baby in the illusion just now, his whole life.
He was unknowingly immersed in the story created by the illusion, and a deep sadness lingered in his heart.
This world...
How can we save it?
"I said."
Looking at each other, Karl spoke slowly:
"I will go to the church, but not now."
"And..."
“Do you really think God can save the world?”
"?" The old man raised his head:
"Does the Guardian have any other ideas?"
"No." Karl shook his head, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the scene suddenly changed.
A vast and boundless world appeared underfoot, with a broken waning moon suspended in the sky.
Different from the illusion created by the old man, which is as real as reality, Karl's illusion is vast, vast, and dreamlike.
outside world.
Under the mask of the Ghost Faced Knight, there was sweat on his forehead, his steel teeth were clenched, and his eyes were even more frightened.
How could this happen?
The super seal he possesses is called dream creation, which can create illusions according to his thoughts. He also has a mirror on his body that can project dreams, and the holy skills he practices are also related to it.
So...
Combined, he becomes a master of illusions and can kill people silently.
It can also help the second elder of the temple to interpret the illusion.
But,
Now the illusion he created was forcibly taken away by Karl, and the content of the illusion was changed.
No matter how the other party did it, there must be a way to restrain him.
In fantasy.
Karl looked at the broken red moon in the sky and said slowly:
"Over the past hundreds of years, this world has become bit by bit desolate and unsuitable for survival. Have you ever thought about why? ”
“Because of Him!”
He pointed at the red moon and continued:
"The Goddess of the Moon uses the broken divine realm as a barrier to block the evil gods from the outside world, but the barrier requires energy to operate, so..."
"The land in this world has become barren, and the water sources have begun to dry up. The first level The above existences will be suppressed and swallowed.”
“The barrier is swallowing. Devour the original power of the world to resist the evil gods outside the territory until the world is completely destroyed."
"Guardian," the second elder said in a muffled voice:
"This is to protect the world from the evil gods. Once the evil god invades, everything will perish.”
"The goddess had no choice but to do this."
Matthew nodded repeatedly.
“Really?”
Karl’s expression remained unchanged:
“The road to knighthood, legend is not the end, it can even be said to be just the beginning. Who blocked this road? ?”
"It's the god you talk about!"
"Since it is to protect all living beings and resist the evil gods outside the territory, why not make all living beings stronger?"
"The reason is very simple!"
< br>He Looking at each other, he said word by word:
"The gods treat all living beings as livestock. They don't want the livestock they raise to become other people's rations, nor can they be eaten back by the stronger livestock..."
"God!"
"Can't save all living beings!"
"When they come back, they will only trap all living beings again!"
There was a sudden silence in the field.
Matthew opened his mouth, his eyes blank.
"blasphemy!"
The second elder looked regretful, slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at Karl, and the sacred aura emerged from his body:
"I didn't believe that the guardian would Blasphemy, it seems that the message from the seventh elder is correct."
"The guardian's will has been corrupted by the evil god."
"But you want to corrupt me and become a saint with me. Donate or die, these are your only two choices, Guardian.”
Karl shook his head slightly.
A legendary knight like the other party who has tortured his soul for hundreds of years has a mind as strong as steel.
His few words cannot change the other person's mind, and will only be used as a means to confuse others.
"Then there is no other way."
Shrugging, Karl also pulled out his rapier:
"Come on!"
