20~Prove Yourself First

Between the broken walls and the ruins, the stars shattered, and the sky collapsed.

The silver knight sat kneeling in the pothole, and the armor all over his body was covered with cracked lines, like dry and cracked skin, and there was almost no place for it to be intact.

In the dreary scene, the knight supports his body with his only hand

The other hand destroyed everything from the arm, only the flesh and blood

Vague, hideous scars still dripping blood.

The war was over, the giant dragon fell along with Ruo Xingxing, but the knight did not really usher in victory.

"Tianhui, he kept calling this name in his heart, but he never got any response.

In the past, Tianhui would definitely come out from behind him, trying to scare him, but he put on an expressionless and innocent look.

Until this time, Ji Bai's call has never been answered.

After touching the broken armor, he already had a guess in his heart.

loneliness, loneliness, sadness, even forbearance

These emotions lingered in his heart, like a smog.

An emotion called anxiety and fear quickly spread in Ji Bai's heart like ink dipped in water.

He was afraid, he was afraid that he would never see that familiar figure again, that he would never hear the voice, "Master, my forehead is so terrified, my palms are covered in cold sweat,

His eyes were dark, as if he would faint in the next moment.

He attaches great importance to Tianhui and regards him as his last surviving comrade-in-arms, but it is only now that he understands how important Tianhui is to him.

to what extent.

Without her, he didn't even have the courage to raise his arms against the enemy.

"Tianhui, Tianhui? He silently called out the girl's name, but he never got any response.

The young knight couldn't believe it, didn't want to give up, knelt on the spot dumbly, calling her name over and over again, but still couldn't get any.

respond

A crisp sound came, and the chest plate decorated with the sword cross pattern shattered and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of useless scum.

Immediately, all the remaining armor pieces on his body fell off, fell to the ground, and turned into a cloud of dust.

Ji Bai stood up slowly, with a hunched body and ragged clothes, Ruo looked miserable and embarrassed.

Looking at a mess of ruins and potholes, his eyes were filled with confusion and despair.

After a long time, he turned his eyes to his side until the whispering words at the corners of his mouth disappeared. The sword with only one hilt remained.

In this trial, he lost everything,

But he knew that his path could not end there.

Although he didn't know the meaning, he couldn't stop there.

After wrapping the shards of the sword in rags, he staggered, - step by step toward the outside of the collapsed hall.

Now is not the time to despair, even if he is the only one left on this road, he has to walk on it firmly. This is the belief and

mission.

"Pata." A piece of debris fell to the ground, and he subconsciously bent over to pick it up, only to find a drop of water on the ground.

The man whose face was covered in ashes was stunned, his eyes widened, and only then did he realize that the tears started at some point and could not be stopped.

He, who hadn't shed tears since the knight order was destroyed, cried.

Who are you crying for, for Tianhui, for the dead members, or just for yourself?

He didn't understand, but even if there were only ashes and bitterness left in his heart, even though the blood had been burnt away in the long battle, he must finish it

At this moment, a blue light lit up behind him.

At a loss, he turned around and found a dazzling blue light flashing next to the dragon's body.

He walked over subconsciously, it was an inconspicuous black box, lying quietly in front of the E dragon's wings.

Ji Bai trembled, and opened it with the only remaining hand, an ice-blue jade, like a teardrop.

Suddenly, it got into Ji Bai's body, and there was no response.

Ji Bai looked at his broken hands, and then at his embarrassed self, but nothing changed.

As if for a split second, this strange black box was opened, but nothing happened.

Forget it, whatever it is.

continue.

Putting on a robe and recasting the broken sword in his hand with inferior iron, ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him, the knight with the broken arm stepped on himself alone.

final journey.

The Gulan Empire, a country that only exists in epic records, Ji Bai has never heard of, but it is said that there are many tombs of former kings and legendary knights there

hole.

For hundreds of years, this place has been turned into a desert.

He didn't know if there was any error in what the sage said, and he didn't have time to think about it.

And just as he came to a palace that was buried in yellow sand, as if there was some kind of resonance, a blue light flashed in his body.

The teardrops that the dragon had obtained earlier floated out of his body at this time and landed on the broken throne of the palace.

"Boom boom boom!" - bursts of cracking sound, teardrops burst, dyeing everything around blue -

In the deep blue, the palace seems to be rejuvenated, returning to its glory a thousand years ago. It seems that one person is sitting on the throne.

Up and down, silently looking down

Ji Bai. "The descendants, why disturb our purity?" The black knight on the throne spoke a language that Ji Bai could not understand, but Ji Bai was unexpectedly able to speak.

Understand what he's talking about.

"You, too, are a knight?" Ji Bai staggered and stood below, concentrating slightly.

"Also?" The people on the throne repeated Ji Bai's words over and over and raised their heads slightly. "You, also consider yourself a knight?

"Should I praise you for your recklessness, or your courage?" The black knight raised his hand, and the blue palace was instantly filled with tall people.

the guards.

"Take a good look, those who can come to the Hall of Glory after death are all knights among knights, and you, take a good look at yourself, you are like a wolf

The bereaved dog even broke an arm.

"You, too, deserve to be called a knight?" The black knight put his head on his hands and glanced at Ji Bai. "You know what it takes to disturb our sleep,

a price?

I'm here for a need - an answer. "After a moment of silence, Ji Bai raised his head and looked at the black knight quietly.

"Answer? You want an answer too?" The Black Knight seemed to laugh. "Prove yourself as a knight first, Descendant.

Having said that, one of the tall armored men on both sides walked out. He stood with a sword, his long sword rested on his shoulder blades, and walked towards Ji Bai as a knight.

present.

"What are you looking for here, you should think about it first, if you can, you can pass our assessment."
