Chapter 159 Holy Knight
In the night wind.

An old man in patterned pajamas stood outside the Royal Academy, leaning on a cane with both hands, looking up at the giant card that sealed the entire academy.

The years have left traces of vicissitudes on his face, and his figure has long been bent, his eyes drooping and narrowed into a slit, as if he would fall asleep at any time.

Behind him, several generals stood in a row.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect to alarm you." General Ross whispered.

"Stop talking nonsense, bring the test card." The old man yawned.

A card was quickly delivered to him.

I saw a clock drawn on this card. Unlike ordinary clocks, there is an eye inlaid on each scale of the clock.

There are twelve eyes in total.

They stared at the entire Royal Academy without blinking.

"How many monsters are left in the academy?" the old man asked.

Following his inquiry, a row of ever-changing numbers appeared above the clock.

The old man watched the numbers quietly.

After a few 10 minutes.

The whole extermination war is over.

Numbers go to zero.

Only then did the old man throw the card to the attendant beside him, and cursed: "I was halfway through playing the cards. I heard that something happened to you here, and you didn't even bother to take the winnings. You hurried to the royal family to explain, and then ran non-stop Come to town for you, you sons of bitches, can't you save some snacks every day?"

All the soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

The old man narrowed his eyes, stared at General Ross and said, "Little Ross, how did you die when you were in Purgatory?"

General Ross whispered: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I died when I failed to challenge the gods."

The old man sighed, shook his head and said: "When you are alive, you don't worry, and after you die, you still don't worry about it in the eternal night. It seems that you died in vain back then."

"I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief." General Ross bowed his head.

"Don't be sorry, look at you ridiculous guys, you still want to fight for rights every day? Stumble with the royal family? Ask for equality? Tsk tsk tsk, find out what this place is!"

The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, he threw his cane on the ground and said loudly:
"Here is the endless eternal night! There is no end to the time of a lifetime, and I don't know how many horrible guys have been buried."

"Once there are sleepers beyond our ability to deal with it, the entire human kingdom will perish. In this case, do you still not forget the infighting?"

"Everyone, let's unite, otherwise when the soul is eaten by monsters, there is really no regret."

After the old man finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Only the generals were left standing in place, looking at each other.

General Pang sighed, stood up and said loudly: "Okay, revoke the seal, send the battlefield cleanup force into the Royal Academy, and then send people to pick up all the students—action!"

"Yes!"

Many officers responded.

……

the other side of the city.

In a quiet alley.

The manhole cover was removed without a sound, and a figure gently landed on the ground.

Liu Ping.

He put the manhole cover back and looked around, only to see that there was no one around, so he stood up and walked out of the alley.

"Do you want to remove the possession?" Zhao Chanyi asked silently.

"Release, from now on, don't let anyone mistake me for an inhuman existence." Liu Ping said.

"it is good."

Zhao Chanyi responded.

Liu Ping's figure gradually became normal.

He walked tens of meters, and suddenly stood still.

There was only one path in the narrow alley, but a black shadow suddenly flew from the sky, quietly landed in the middle of the path, blocking the path.

A drowsy voice sounded:

"The recipient of the Imperial Gold Medal, student Liu Ping from the Royal Young Death Class, it's so late, why are you wandering here alone?"

The dim street lamps illuminated the opponent's figure.

——but it was an old man with white beard and hair, wearing patterned and striped pajamas.

Zhao Chanyi's voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ping's heart:
"Need a move?"

"No, I know this person, you must not show up." Liu Ping said.

"he is great?"

"It's not a question of whether it's great or not, but that it's unnecessary."

Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Ping's mind, and he suddenly laughed: "Sometimes people like us have to hide ourselves in order to live a normal life."

The old man was surprised and said: "So confident? Liu Ping, can we fight once?"

Liu Ping said: "You are too strong, just one blow will dissipate my soul."

"I suppressed my strength to your level."

"Are you sure? Know that people like you talking to me are dead."

"Then try it."

The old man's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of Liu Ping in the next instant, with the crutch in his hand pointing towards Liu Ping's chest like lightning.

Liu Ping seemed to have expected it a long time ago, twisted his body to avoid the crutches, and kicked towards the opponent instead.

The old man was immediately kicked into the air.

"Huh?" The old man was surprised again.

"Don't play tricks."

As Liu Ping said, he kicked his feet lightly, and the whole person flew up, and immediately hit shoulders, elbows, swinging punches, knees, and roundabout kicks——

Boom!
The old man was kicked out and landed lightly on the ground.

He took out a card and took a photo of Liu Ping.

A few words appeared on the card:

"Human Soul (Freedom)."

The old man took the cards and said with a smile, "Boy, how did you die when you were in Purgatory?"

"Snatch a woman." Liu Ping said.

"That woman must be extraordinary."

"Yes, she is someone else's fiancee, that is a huge family, but in the end I snatched her."

"Where's her fiancé?"

"He's going to die."

"Tsk, what a cruel boy, no wonder he dared to sneak into the academy alone to deal with the bugs. By the way, what is your occupation? Answer well, this is related to whether I will have someone interrogate you." The old man half-truth and half-false the way.

Liu Ping was about to say something when he suddenly remembered what the knight said——

"The only suggestion I can give you is to use another knight profession to cover up—remember, only the knight profession can merge with the 'Prison Knight' and successfully cover up the existence of this profession."

There was a breath of silence.

Liu Ping clasped his hands on his chest, and said with a solemn expression: "For the sake of love and justice on the earth, I am calling for holy meals, representing the mercy of God, and giving these holy meals to you free of charge."

A soft white light emanated from him, like an angel descending into the world.

Immediately afterwards, one after another white light appeared in front of the willow plane, manifested as a long dining table, silver tableware, golden candlesticks and a music box emitting beautiful tunes.

Soup, bread, milk, salad, wine, kippers, steak, fruit, dessert, coffee, etc., they exude aromas and fill the long table hot.

Liu Ping stepped aside, pointed at the dining table, and said:

"This is my profession. It is a sacred, compassionate profession that must bring hope to mankind. If you want to eat something-please feel free."

The old man had been squinting his eyes, but when he saw the dining table, he suddenly widened his eyes, and after hearing what Liu Ping said, he even opened his mouth slightly.

next moment.

An old scream broke out in the alley:

"Holy knight! It turned out to be a holy knight!"

The voice was so majestic and powerful that it sent a gust of wind through the alley.

"Huh? You know my profession?" Liu Ping covered his ears in surprise.

The old man stared at him, and uttered a sentence with difficulty:

"Damn it, I haven't seen this profession for a long time."

"You are really well-informed." Liu Ping admired.

The old man spat viciously, and said, "Holy knights—you are all a bunch of born liars!"

The murderous aura on his body disappeared completely, he turned his head and walked out of the alley, muttering in his mouth:

"I should have known I was going to fall for this after wasting so much time with a petty liar."

"Never let anyone get close to you."

"A guy like you who likes to rob women and cheat people to death will definitely destabilize the empire."

After speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Liu Ping stood where he was and waited for a few breaths, but there was no movement.

He couldn't help shrugging his shoulders and said, "Let's go now?"

Suddenly, a card slowly fell from the sky, floating quietly in front of Liu Ping.

I saw three powerful characters written on this card:
"Appointment letter."

Liu Pingzheng was puzzled when he saw the card turn into a document with a "bang".

The paper reads:

"Here is an outstanding student of the Royal Academy's untimely death class: Liu Ping, who was outnumbered and heroically outstanding in this sealing battle. He is specially awarded the rank of lieutenant and admitted to the Imperial Command to handle documents and materials."

"—Commander-in-Chief: Bourbon."

Liu Ping frowned, and then unfolded.

This old guy finally didn't realize that he was a prison guard knight.

but--

Why did he have such a big reaction to Holy Knight?
In all the books of the Royal Library, there is no record of the Holy Knight.

Originally, he was only using it to cover up his true identity.

—The old fellow knows the profession.

Judging from his final reaction, it seems that he has suffered from this profession?
So what did he mean by getting himself into the headquarters?
Liu Ping stood where he was, lost in thought.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in the void:
"You are stuck in this second."

"This month's ascension battle will take place in this second, and will decide your life or death."

"One last confirmation, do you want to be Yana's card and fight for her in this Ascension Battle?"

"Confirm!" Liu Ping said.

A ray of light wrapped around him, leading him and his dining table into the void and disappearing.

……

In an empty arena.

Liu Ping appeared with his dining table.

Another line of small characters appeared:
"Since Holy Communion is your skill, it is regarded as your extension, and it was brought into this battle of ascension to God."

"Please wait for the enemy to appear."

Liu Ping glanced over and didn't care, walked to the edge of the arena step by step, and began to think about the gains and losses this time.

——When the old man showed his face just now, he could see that he was the commander-in-chief of the empire.

After all, the old man is a famous figure.

Even the Royal Academy has his sculptures and portraits.

After a frank and productive exchange, he transferred himself to the headquarters.

If others do this, the royal family must ask a question or two.

But the commander-in-chief made such a transfer arrangement, and no one would bother about it.

——Especially, I have already used up the royal family's favor.

So, what is this old man up to?
Liu Ping sighed.

The situation changed so fast that I didn't even have time to interrogate Qian Zhouwu.

Originally everything was invisible, but who would have thought that the commander-in-chief of the empire would personally follow him——

There is no way out.

Now we can only take one step at a time.

He thought silently, turned around, and looked at the giant beast that appeared on the opposite side of the arena.

It was a monitor lizard burning with flames all over its body.

It was seven or eight meters long. As soon as it landed in the arena, it first looked at Liu Ping, and then at the table full of delicacies.

"I smell delicious power!"

The monitor lizard spit out the letter, and opened its mouth suddenly, almost several times larger than its entire body.

It sucks hard—

The entire table was sucked into its mouth with all the food.

The monitor lizard stared at Liu Ping, swallowing and closing its big bulging mouth continuously, eating up all the food.

"Good food... then, it's time to eat you."

The monitor lizard moved closer to Liu Ping.

"Wait a minute." Liu Ping said.

"What? Little guy, do you still want to struggle? It's futile." The monitor lizard sneered.

Liu Ping shook his head and said, "You are such an impolite guy, you ate all the food on the table without permission. If you don't pay the bill, I won't be happy."

The monitor lizard snorted, and said disdainfully, "What can you do?"

Liu Ping no longer responded.

He silently took out a piece of chocolate from his trouser pocket and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

As he chewed, lines of burning small characters appeared in the void:
"You activated the Holy Communion."

"The other party ate the first free meal."

"The other party has eaten more than half."

"The other party didn't pay the bill."

"The opponent ate almost all the food, except for a piece of chocolate that you hid when you activated this technique."

"You ate the only piece of chocolate left, so that the other party could not complete the complete communion of this field."

"Notice!"

"The other party's communion has been interrupted!"

"It's about to fall into a weakened state, and within a day it's dizzy, loses strength, and can't fight with all its strength."

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

"The opponent has fallen into a weak state!"
