As more and more knights and magicians joined the pursuit, but Hansen and the others did not show up, Hayden gradually became anxious.He originally went all the way up, but turned back halfway.There are more people hidden in the Blue Castle than imagined. Perhaps Hansen and Arnold are in trouble below. Before he knows where "Monica" and Darren are being held, he must prioritize keeping them .

But after walking down, he gradually felt the breath of undead around him.Since he was blocked by the chasing soldiers before and after, and the undead and dead things were also dealt with by the chasing soldiers, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but the coldness still popped up from time to time, which made people shudder.

"Hayden..."

He had just eliminated a piece of silver armor with grudge, when he heard a clear and weak call from below.

"Monica?" Hayden was startled, using wind magic to bless his fighting spirit, quickly passed through the heavy encirclement in front of him, and moved in front of Mundra in an instant.

The "she" in front of her was wearing the long dark blue dress when she left, the armbands on her arms were slightly bulging through the sleeves, and her shoulder-length hair fluttered back because of her arrival.Those eyes, which were so black that even the night sky could hardly match, were covered with a faint mist, and then gradually dimmed.

"Monica!" He nervously supported her body that fell suddenly, while dodging the fireball that hit him, he hugged her by the waist, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her slightly heaving chest.

The breathing is so smooth, it should be... drowsy and fell asleep again, right?

Hayden was accustomed to her habit of always sleeping without warning, so he could only smile wordlessly, and rushed down quickly.

Darkness and light intertwine with each other.The dots and strips of light are like fish and shrimps playing in the water, constantly flowing.Darkness is water, which seems to be flowing, but also seems to be still from beginning to end.

I don't know how long it took, but the light gradually stopped, like frozen ice and snow, still shining, but gradually dissipating at a speed that is hard to see with the naked eye...

If Mundella hadn't been watching quietly from beginning to end, he would never have noticed this change.

The light is fading?

Mundella blinked suspiciously, then felt his body jolting slightly, and his ears slowly heard voices, whistling wind, shouting, and... deep panting.

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was Hayden's smooth jawline.

As if feeling the gaze, Hayden lowered his head and smiled at him.The golden hair was a little disheveled due to running, and the sweat was swaying between the ends of the hair, like the golden waves of the sea under the setting sun.

Mundella never liked gold, even his own flaxen hair, because they were too close to the bright color, but this time, he felt that the gold was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Because of this, he preferred to suppress his disgust, took the armband back, and took the initiative to be the Monica whom he had avoided before.Perhaps, one day he will have to confess, but it definitely won't be the present time.

"Are you tired?" Hayden jumped up suddenly.

Under his feet, a row of ice arrows shot past, with a few clicks, nailed to the end of the corridor, and the wall cracked into a spider web.

Hayden landed, jumped on his toes against the wall, and rushed forward quickly.

He has slowly distanced himself from the pursuers behind him.It didn't matter to him that he was alone before, but now that "Monica" is added, he has to consider "her" safety.

The ground under his feet burst open suddenly, like an earth dragon, galloping forward together with him.

Downstairs, the earth magician ambushed here in advance to open the upper and lower passages, and the silver armor immediately jumped upstairs from the cracked ceiling, chasing Hayden.

Suddenly a familiar face appeared in front of him.

Hayden faltered and disappeared in front of them in an instant.

The silver armor froze for a moment, then continued to rush downstairs.

After they left, the door on the right at the end of the corridor opened a crack.After Hansen confirmed that they had left, he tiptoedly closed the door.

Hayden put down Mundra, but still let him lean on his body, "Did you see Arnold?"

Hansen shook his head and said, "I've searched all over the place, but I haven't seen them, maybe..." He paused, then changed the subject in a timely manner, "But I found the teleportation magic circle he mentioned. I'll stay and rescue them Please Marshal take Miss Monica away first."

Hayden said, "How sure are you?"

Hearing what he said, Hansen knew that he didn't agree with his plan, but he still replied firmly, "I will try my best."

The corner of Hayden's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't laugh out loud, "That's not the answer I want to hear."

Hansen said: "You are the pillar of the empire! The empire needs you."

Hayden said: "I am also a knight, and I must abide by the code of knighthood. Cherish my companions, save kind people from danger, go forward bravely, and never shrink back."

Hansen looked at Mundra, "What about Miss Monica?"

Hayden said, "You take her away."

Hansen immediately objected, "I am also a knight."

"I see." His objection seemed to be expected, "So, toss a coin?"

Hansen suddenly lost his momentum, "I've never won."

Hayden laughed and said, "There will always be good luck." He took out a gold coin, tossed it up, and clasped his palms together.

"I must stay!" Hansen was about to cheat.

Hayden put away the coin in a good manner, and said, "Then think about how to save it."

Hansen hesitated: "I met Mundra in the castle."

"Mundra?" Mundra leaned against his body tightly, Hayden hugged him subconsciously, and whispered, "Is it cold?"

Hansen said: "It was because I chased him that I alarmed the soldiers in the castle. He seemed to know the owner of the city, and the soldiers listened to him. Afterwards, he released many skeletons to search in the castle. I think, if you want to save If it is a human being, we must first solve him.”

Hayden said: "I did feel the breath of the undead, but I didn't see the skeleton."

For this point, Hansen is also puzzled.I clearly saw the skeleton walking around in the castle before, but suddenly disappeared in a blink of an eye.Originally, he thought that Mundella met Hayden, but now it seems that he may have met Arnold? "Could he have caught Arnold already?"

Although things were different from what he had imagined, the result was pretty much the same.

Mundra moved his body.Although he had just slept for a short while, the excessive consumption of his mental power and the collision of the divine power of light and the spirit of the undead made his body extremely weak again.

Hayden noticed his discomfort, and hugged him horizontally, "Would this be better?"

Mundra offered to rest her head on his shoulder, wrapping an arm around his neck.

This performance of dependence made Hayden feel better, and the two obvious wine pits appeared on his face again, "No matter what the reason is, our purpose has not changed."

"Yes." Hansen leaned against the door and listened to the movement outside for a while, but in a blink of an eye he saw Hayden walking to the window, poking his head out of the window and looking up.

Hansen walked quickly to his side and said softly, "Are you going to go outside?"

Hayden said: "I used to be close to the top floor. The guards there are much stricter than those below. I think there should be hidden the things that Michael valued the most, for example, his life."

Hansen pressed his knuckles on each other with both hands, his fighting spirit was high, "Okay! Let me kill him directly!"

"Hush." ​​Hayden looked down at Mundra who was already asleep.

Hansen rolled his eyes, and suddenly said softly: "How did you find Miss Monica?"

"I met you at the stairs."

"Didn't she meet soldiers and skeletons?" Hansen asked.

Hayden's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

Hansen said: "I have a small guess in my heart, of course it's just a guess. Do you think she will still be in contact with Mundra?"

Hayden said indifferently: "So what?"

Hansen was taken aback.

Hayden said: "She and Mundra are friends. What position do we have to force her to stand on our side? From the beginning to the end, she never did anything to hurt us, did she?"

Hansen asked hesitantly: "If she is not Miss Monica but...Mr. Monica, do you still think so?"

Hayden said solemnly: "That's another matter."

Hansen: "..."

Suddenly it was bright outside the window.

Hansen subconsciously stood in front of Hayden with a solemn expression.

Sudden flames fell from the sky one after another and landed on the martial arts training ground, where oil was poured in advance, and it was spread into a blazing pool of fire when it was touched by the fire.There is a small open space in the middle of the pool, and there is a wooden cage, which is narrow and can only accommodate one and a half people.Fortunately, Darren and Arnold are both thin, so they can barely squeeze in.In order not to touch A Nuo's wound, Darren had to spread his legs, kneel on both sides of A Nuo's body, throw his upper body on A Nuo's body, and propped his hands on the ground.Even so, he could still feel Arnold's weaker and weaker breath.After shedding so much blood, being able to persist until now is already the limit.

Darren bit his lower lip, fixed his eyes on the lifeless face, and kept praying in his heart.Although he has done this kind of thing countless times, he has never been so urgent and anxious as this time.

Beside the cage, the golden armor stood with a spear.He was still, only the fire flashed left and right on his body, flickering on and off.

Seven or eight magicians floated above their heads. They were either throwing fireballs or playing with water balls in their hands, like casual hunters waiting for their prey.

A huge hand made of clay slowly reached in from outside the fire pool.Rhodes sat cross-legged on the palm of his hand, holding a metal horn in his hand, with a solemn expression.When the giant hand stretched out to the side of the golden armor, Rhodes stood up.Holding the trumpet, he shouted, "These two slaves are dying! If you still want their lives, come out!"

……

"Idiot!" Michael, who was standing on the top floor looking down, couldn't help cursing, "Who would sacrifice himself to save two dying people?" He took the candlestick and went to the balcony and threw it down hard.

In fact, it didn't take much effort for him to drop the silver candlestick from such a high place, and anyone would be smashed to the bone.

The candlestick smashed against the cage, at the foot of the golden armor, making a crisp and piercing sound, and a part of the broken candle slowly rolled to the foot of the golden armor.

The golden armor looked at the candle and slowly raised his head.

Even though Michael was more than twenty meters away from him, he still felt the chill emanating from those eyes, "This guy, he..."

Rhodes was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't escape!" As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and the spear pierced deeply into his body.He opened his eyes wide in surprise, staring blankly at the lifeless eyes of the golden armor, "Why... why..."

The golden armor said: "Because you are too in the way." He drew back the spear, slipped his hand, and the cage opened.

Both Michael and his magician were bewildered by the turn of events.

The magician stood in mid-air and shouted at him, "Do you know what you are doing?"

The golden armor ignored him, turned to look at the silver armor standing outside the fire pool and said, "Do you want to take off this armor?"

The silver armor was silent.

The golden armor stared and roared, "Do you want to take off this armor?!"

The silver armor remained silent.

The golden armor suddenly held a spear and pointed in the direction of Hayden and Hansen, "That man is the Marshal of the Empire! It's Hayden Nafist! I'm asking you again, you want to put this body in front of him Take off the armor?!"

Michael's face was livid.He thumped the balcony railing hard, and said in a trembling voice, "Kill..."

"Yes!"

The roar from the life in the silver armor suppressed Michael's voice, and even the two magicians standing next to Michael couldn't hear what he said clearly.

"Justice, mercy, bravery, forgiveness, sincerity... For too long, we have forgotten! When Michael used force to make us submit, we submitted. When he tempted us with money, we submitted. When When he branded this shameful armor on us and made us his lackeys, we succumbed! We linger on, is it just to survive? Isn't it to wait for a proof that we are still knights and still worthy of being A moment called chivalry? Now is the time. Hayden is here, let him witness for us! Watch us polish the code of chivalry together, with our blood, with our dignity, with all that we have been plundered and lost Yes! Defend the oppressed, defend the morality that is being distorted and dismembered, and defend the knight's spirit of never giving up and never giving up!"

The answer to him was louder and more trembling than before——

"Yes!"
