Chapter 548, Knight's Elegy

"Use your sword to completely destroy my soul and my decayed body, annihilate them all!" Landuin said loudly his last wish: "Use your unique power to destroy my flesh and blood Turn into flying ashes, my soul into nothingness, and completely annihilate my body and spirit! This is my last wish!"

Landuin's wish shocked everyone,

"No, I can't do this!" Ryan was surprised by Landuin's wish, he immediately shook his head: "No, Lord Landuin, I can't swing my sword at you again, we have already decided the winner! "

Under the moonlight in early spring, above the muddy swamp, the knight on the lake laughed after hearing the words, and he laughed out loud.

Big drops of tears fell on his armor, mingling with his blood.

"At the beginning, I said the same to Xierluf." Landuin was still laughing, but his face had already been filled with tears: "After that championship match, I defeated Xierluf , Shirruf asked me to kill him, and I said the same thing, I told my good brother that the victory is over, and I will not swing my sword at him again."

The laughter disappeared, and the greatest first-generation Holy Grail Knight, the first-generation Duke Musillon, the Knight of the Lake was sobbing.

"My good brother, Sirruf, I owe him an apology." Landuin burst into tears, and his sadness infected everyone: "At that time, Sirruf told me that we were no longer brothers If I don't kill him, he will live with hatred and hate me for the rest of his life."

"But I have no choice. I'm not just me. I'm still the Duke of Musillon. When the people of the country need me to stand up, I must fulfill my obligations. I can only tell him that I have a clear conscience and the duel is fair. showdown."

Everyone was silent, and many Holy Grail knights thought that Silruf lived a full three hundred and fifty years old before dying in battle on the banks of the Sandnes River. He was the last to die among the first twelve Holy Grail knights. Give him strength?

"Even so, I can't...Your Excellency Landuin, do you know what it means?" Ryan's voice couldn't help trembling: "You will disappear from the universe forever, and you will be completely eliminated from the picture scroll of existence." Erase, except for the memories of others, you will not leave the slightest trace in the world!"

"That's right!" Landuin nodded: "I know that as long as I want, my soul can return to the lady's kingdom of God again, and she must be willing to open the door for me, but what's the point?"

"But……"

"I just look forward to a real successor! My will, my martial arts, my inheritance." Landuin looked at Ryan's handsome face, and his voice was full of relief: "Now I have found it, Ryan Malcador , you defeated me, you also inherited me, I have no regrets."

"Besides, I must die for Mu Xilong." Landu said earnestly again and again: "Only when I completely disappear can Mu Xilong be truly rescued!"

"Really, to be saved?" Ryan asked incredulously, why can Mu Xilong be truly saved only when Landuin is completely killed?

As if seeing Ryan's doubts, Landuin explained slowly: "I am too powerful, so powerful that the land of Mousilon felt my sadness and pain, and responded to my emotions. In my last In time, it was my emotions that eroded this land, and gradually made Mu Xilong depraved and corrupted. Even after my death, the environment here is always deteriorating. Chaos and undead have used me. A corrupted, corrupted energy stalks my remains."

"I must die! Only when my soul is completely destroyed, and only when my sorrow is ended, will the corruption of this land by chaos and undead stop and gradually dissipate!" Landuin ordered loudly: "So,

I order you! Lion Malcador, my successor, kill me! This is my wish! "

"Only when I completely disappear and my soul is annihilated, will the corruption of chaos and undead disappear from Mu Xilong, and Mu Xilong can be saved. This is my fate, and it is also a debt I must repay!" Landuin then signaled Ryan to do it, He maintained his kneeling posture.

The greatest first-generation Holy Grail Knight will sacrifice everything to save Musilon.

"No...I can't...I..." Ryan had tears in his eyes.

The Earl of Glamorgan, no, it should be said that the hand of the new Duke Musillon holding the Furies is shaking.

From the hard fight with Landuin at noon until late at night, Ryan's hand has never trembled once, but at this moment, facing this situation, Ryan only felt that his hand was shaking, and he couldn't hold the handle of Nemesis's sword tightly. up.

He couldn't do anything to Landuin, the venerable man who had passed everything on to him, even if it was his order.

Seeing that Ryan couldn't do anything, the knight on the lake's eyes gradually became gentle and compassionate.

"Sacrifice is a virtue, Ryan." Landuin said softly.

"When we pick up our lances and embark on the road of knights, when we knights make the oath of knights to the lady, knights are destined to take on the important task of guarding the kingdom. Facing powerful enemies, knights are never afraid. Difficulties, knights never give up, this is the road we choose, this is the way of chivalry, when we choose the way of chivalry, we will not be overwhelmed by its burden!"

"Because this is the sacrifice made by the knight for the mortal world, what we can feel is not a little bit of selfish and pitiful happiness. The sacrifice of the knight will benefit thousands of people, although not all the knights who paid the sacrifice will be remembered. Although not all the knights who sacrificed can be treated fairly, the knights will never regret it, and the noble people will shed tears in the face of our ashes."

"This is the knight, sacrifice is the cornerstone of human standing, remember, ory."

Ryan cried, and two tears ran down his cheeks. The champion of the Fairy in the Lake reached out to wipe away the tears and nodded vigorously: "I understand, Your Excellency Landuin!"

At this moment, all the onlookers were sobbing, and even the king of the wood elves, Orion, turned his face away and sighed softly.

"Don't be sad!" Seeing that Ryan finally agreed to his request, Landuin nodded with satisfaction: "Don't sob, this is not the expression a man should have, Ryan, be strong, our deeds will be told to the end of the world In the end, you will always see me in your memories!"

"Okay, let's do it!" After speaking, Landuin closed his eyes and signaled Ryan to do it!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Ryan let out a mournful howl. He raised the Nemesis, and the Nemesis who was burning with spiritual fire pierced Landuin's figure from behind. It spread in the void and began to gradually devour Landuin's soul.

This process was very painful, and the feeling of being burned by the soul was not something a mortal could bear, but Landuin persisted through gritting his teeth. The knight on the lake looked down at the Nemesis who pierced his heart, and looked up at the night sky: "Until the end, I can only I can convey my thoughts in this way.”

He remembered a lot.

He thought of himself who practiced riding hard when he was young, and pursued to win and become stronger.

He thought of the alliance formed by the marriage of Arthur, Shirruf and himself.

He remembered the war-torn years when the greenskins ravaged Britannia. The three of them each led the army of their principalities to form a coalition to fight against the greenskins.

He thought of the appearance of the fairies in the lake, drinking the water of the Holy Grail, the twelve founding battles, and the gathering of the Holy Grail partners. Aguiger, strong Balduin of Belion, Fredmond of Aquitaine, tamer of birds, Beren of Gisoleochs, fond of stags, Sylruf, most daring of Lyonnaise, and The most mature and charismatic Arthur...

The twelve Holy Grail partners plus Arthur, everyone is closely united, what a wonderful time it was!

In his heyday, he repeated the days of death-fights day after day and charged forward on the battlefield. He was a knight who pursued strength and only slashed hard.

I always owe Arthur and Schilluff an apology.

Just when Landuin's memory flashed back, he felt his body being embraced, and barely opened his eyes, seeing a dazzling green light in front of him.

"Landuin, my brother!" The green knight held the body of the lake knight in his arms, and the green-eyed king finally came.

"This familiar voice..." Landuin suddenly understood, he understood everything, the knight on the lake said with a wry smile: "My king, your trial is late, but I still have to apologize to you, I once believed, I can find a way to solve the problem, I can find a way to make you forgive me, and so can Shirruf,"

"In the end, I chose this method of evasion, and I hope to get your understanding." Landuin's voice became smaller and smaller, and his soul gradually burned out under Ryan's spiritual power.

Self-blame and pain accompanied Landuin all his life.

"I've already forgiven you, Landuin." The green knight's body was full of green light, and his voice was blocked: "The same is true for Xierluf, I'm here for forgiveness."

"Is that so? That's really great." Landuin's voice was almost inaudible: "It's a pity, I can never go back to that magnificent and beautiful past... Ryan?"

"Yes!" Ryan responded quickly, tears streaming down his face.

"It's done...very well...My successor, Mu Xilong, I will leave it to you..."

In the psychic flames, Landuin's body gradually dissipated, and with the last afterglow, his soul and body were completely annihilated.

Nothing remained of Landuin but his sword and his lance.

"This is for you, in the future, this is your lance." The Green Knight reached out and picked up the Indestructible Lake Light, and handed it to Ryan: "As for not dying with bare hands, you put it away and find someone worthy of entrustment." Bar!"

"Yes!" Ryan took the lance, and he reached out to wipe away his tears.

"Don't be sad, inheritor of Landuin." The green-eyed king's voice was a little heavy: "Look at the sky."

Ryan looked up.

Thousands of glowing iris petals fluttered from the green knight's arms, and they flew towards the night sky and spread around Musilon: "It's so warm, this is Lord Landuin the power of?"

"This is Landuin's last gift. He sacrificed everything to save the land he loves." The Green Knight raised his head high: "Now, fulfill your mission as Duke Musillon! Undead, bring glory and virtue back to this land!"

"Yes!" Ryan answered loudly.

With the complete disappearance of Landuin and thousands of iris petals floating all over Musilon's territory, the corruption and depravity that had plagued this territory for thousands of years began to gradually fade away.

The long night of Mousillon is about to dawn.

A new dawn has arrived.
