Chapter 78 78. Codename Paladin
After passing through the dark and depressing cell, Su Hong came to the fireplace hall again.
The warden invited him to sit down and was silent for a while before asking: "What is your reason for meeting His Royal Highness the Holy Knight?"
Su Hong touched his chin: "It's that simple to eliminate disaster."
"Warden Protz, a passing Templar once said that you imprisoned the Paladin. Is this true?"
He was curious that the relationship between Warden Protz and the Paladin was not as contradictory as he imagined. On the contrary, the man in front of him respected the Paladin quite a lot.
The Templars should not lie, so there is only one possibility. Warden Protz has a hidden reason for imprisoning the Paladins.
Warden Protz was silent for a moment, "This is indeed true, but it is also voluntary by His Highness."
"Come with me, His Highness will tell you the truth back then, what happened in the Kingdom of the Sun."
Warden Protz got up and walked deeper into the prison. Su Hong followed for a few minutes and came to a black iron door.
He pushed it with both hands, and the door rumbled, and the rich and thick blood mist of disaster leaked out from the gap.
When the portal was completely opened, it was still the familiar sun hollow and stone platform filled with blood mist.
"Mr. Protz, you seem to be having a good time today."
A faint majestic voice suddenly came from the blood mist.
Warden Protz bent down and saluted, "The undead man holding the Paladin badge helped me repel the enemies who coveted the power of disaster. This guest wants to meet you."
"Meet me...how many years have passed, it doesn't matter, young immortal, come here."
Warden Protz gave up his position, and the road to the stone platform was no longer blocked.
Su Hong took a deep breath, mentally prepared to be swallowed up by the disaster, and then walked forward, his figure gradually being swallowed up by the blood mist.
In the blood mist, a tall figure sitting cross-legged on the stone slab appeared. Even though Su Hong couldn't see clearly the face of the paladin, the aura that inadvertently leaked from his body was already quite terrifying.
What's even more frightening is that he can't see the Paladin's information.
Facing a completely unknown target, Su Hong could only sit down and sit down.
"Face to face with the disaster, the courage is amazing, the potential of the disaster is +300."
The paladin spoke with a smile in his tone, "Young immortal, you are very brave. You did not get here because of luck."
Su Hong complained in his heart, if he was really lucky, he wouldn't have to die so many times in the simulation.
"Mr. Paladin." He stared closely at the figure in the blood mist, "Are you Disaster?"
"Me? Not really." The Paladin said calmly: "But the disaster is closely related to me."
Su Hong's heart was shaken and he listened with all ears. He felt that he was close to the truth.
Paladin: "In my world, we once faced the same disaster as now - the sun went out, the flames disappeared, and the world fell into a long night."
"I, Randall Emmett, am the most outstanding knight genius in the Knights Temple. I am the Blazing Heart Knight with the radiance of the sun. I am also the most powerful being in the Knights Temple for thousands of years."
"My power has reached the pinnacle of the human world. I hope to regain the plains of heaven and return the tree of the sun to the kingdom's hands."
"It's just a pity..." The man's tone became hollow, as if he had endless regrets, "Even I can't resist the erosion of disaster."
"The Eastern Expedition Legion was established against the royal authority, so the palace and the Holy See of Light strongly opposed the Eastern Expedition." "I can establish the Eastern Expedition Legion against the pressure of the kingdom, so naturally I will not be afraid of those corrupt nobles."
"But the sky has been dark for a long time. The kingdom's crops are in ruins and there is no harvest. Disaster monsters are ravaging all the royal counties, and the people are miserable."
"The people placed their hope for survival on me, but their collective will has inadvertently created the most horrific disaster in history."
"This is a disaster called the Paladin. It makes the Eastern March a curse, a journey that is always full of hope but can never reach its goal."
"By the time I realized this, it was the point of no return."
"In order to suppress the disaster, I imprisoned myself in the most terrifying dark prison, hoping to control the impact of the disaster to the minimum range."
"But the rioting people and the evil cult that took advantage of the opportunity were affected by the disaster intentionally or unintentionally. They hope that the Eastern Expedition can continue, even if it destroys the kingdom..."
"Finally, the glorious Kingdom of Order came to an end in darkness."
Su Hong couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is a disaster?"
The Paladin's voice was hoarse and said: "In the age of the sun, kings and gods stood side by side. The world had the concepts of cold and heat, darkness and light, just like the four seasons. Life's birth, old age, illness and death are also part of the order of the sun. We are the children of the sun. "
"But in the dark age, the sun that symbolizes order has gone out, and we have all become the embers of the old era. The disaster that represents darkness and disorder has become the master of the world."
"To put it more pessimistically, we have been abandoned by the world."
"However, the Tree of the Sun still stands deep in the plains of heaven. If it can be ignited with the blood of the corona, the world may not be able to return to the age of the sun, even if the flame will eventually be extinguished..."
Su Hong's eyes lit up, "What is the corona bloodline and how to get it?"
"It is a bloodline that is enough to ignite the body and soul. The brilliance it blooms for even a moment is enough to ignite the entire tree of the sun."
"This kind of bloodline is only possessed by the descendants of the Sun King who live in the palace. To light the Sun Tree, you need to ignite yourself first. Perhaps this is the reason why the contemporary Sun King strongly opposes the Eastern Expedition."
"As an immortal, he already has the power to survive in the new world, so why should he die for the old era?"
"The blood of the king can be passed down and inherited, but the style of the king has been lost."
The paladin's body moved, and the iron chains around him stirred up the blood mist, making his figure even more blurry.
"Young Immortal, I need your help."
"Perhaps the Sun Tree and the Corona Bloodline have long since disappeared into the dust of history, but the disaster called the Paladin still exists."
"I hope you can be its final gravedigger."
"You want me to kill you?" Su Hong looked hesitant. He estimated that even if he tried his best, he might not even be able to peel off the dead skin on the Paladin.
The paladin smiled, his voice rough, "You are very brave, but disaster is not something you can handle."
"Finding the original Horcrux is the only way to seal the kingdom's disaster."
"Original Horcrux?" Su Hong looked confused.
What is this?
The Paladin did not answer his doubts, but just looked up at the sky.
"The original Horcrux holder is the one who covets disaster. The different Horcrux he controls is one of the six original Horcruxes."
