Chapter 844: Past Dreams, Current Self

El Dorado Palace, before the Silver City.

"You kid, how dare you lie to me!"

Oriel spat on the ground rather roguely, but because he was wearing armor, the spit seemed to rebound, and Oriel covered his throat as if he had been hit hard.

"There is a flaw!"

Oriel suddenly swung his golden sword and struck the Black Beast Knight in the head.

The Black Beast Knight's movements were as cold as his current expression, and his knees and elbows clamped Oriel's golden giant sword like iron pincers.

"Tsk." Seeing that his sneak attack was unsuccessful, Oriel clicked his tongue in displeasure, took back the golden giant sword and put it on his shoulder, "Hey, I'm back."

The Black Beast Knight nodded and sat on the steps, looking at the entire Golden Kingdom that had fallen into deathly silence.

"Eve is back too."

"Ah~ that crazy bitch, did she blow herself up again?" Oriel also sat down on the steps. Compared to the upright sitting posture of the Black Beast Knight, Oriel was stretched out.

The Black Beast Knight nodded and whispered: "Eve is only at LV1 now, but she should not give priority to recovering her body, but to awaken Adam's body to attack the Golden Kingdom."

"We should be on full alert."

"Don't worry, the princess's prayer is very powerful. Eve's minions can't get through the prayer. We just need to destroy the enemies that invade here."

Compared to the Black Beast Knight's undivided attention, Oriel seemed very indifferent and casual. He raised his head, looked at the ceiling made of unlucky Adam's flesh, and sighed.

"Aren't you going to meet the princess?"

Speaking of the princess, his tone was cold and short, and the Black Beast Knight, who seemed to only do business, paused for a long time before answering.

"Do you think I am qualified to see the princess now?"

"No, you are not qualified. As long as I am still alive, I will never agree."

"I see."

The Black Beast Knight nodded. Such a boring reaction made Oriel curl his lips. In order to let the Black Beast Knight know his displeasure, he even removed his armor so that the Black Beast Knight could see his face.

"Kid, do you know why I'm unhappy with you?"

"...I think I'm special." The Black Beast Knight clenched his fists and said slowly, "I don't feel like I'm an alien just because I'm the only human in the Golden Kingdom. On the contrary, I think I'm special. I was brought back by the princess, and I must have a particularly great mission.”

"No! It's because I'm jealous of your talent and femininity." Oriel shook his head and gave a rather informal answer. He was quite dismissive of Blaze's heavy answer.

"It seems that you haven't reflected at all. What's wrong with feeling that there's something wrong with you, that you have a great mission? Do you have to feel that you are a small character worth mentioning? As long as you don't deviate from what's right. "

"You work hard because you think you are special, you work hard because you think you have a mission, and you train yourself day after day. Isn't this great?"

"Your only fault is that you did something wrong and deviated from what was right."

"That's because!" The Black Beast Knight suddenly stood up and looked at the lazy Oriel. The words he wanted to shout were stuck in his throat. Blaze's words echoed in his mind, making it impossible for him to shout confidently. Say those words.

"This world is just a game for those strangers. Our experiences and our pain are just to add to their game experience."

The Black Beast Knight finally said it. He seemed to be relieved, but Oriel looked indifferent.

"Boy, you seem to be very dissatisfied with strangers."

"Of course!"

"Why? Are they like monsters who take pleasure in the cries of life, or do they have a desire to conquer and want to destroy the world?"

"They..." The Black Beast Knight paused, not knowing what to say.

He could have explained the atrocities committed by the strangers against him, but that was the attack he launched. He could also explain the strange and terrifying behavior of the strangers, but that seemed to be just [sickness].

After thinking for a long time, the Black Beast Knight came up with a reason.

"Peace is torture to them and they expect chaos."

"Are there no peace-loving strangers?"

The Black Beast Knight couldn't lie, "...Yes, there are many, the vast majority, but, but..."

"It's a nitpick." Oriel rolled his eyes hard at the Black Beast Knight and stood up like a carp.

"What is your mission and your oath?"

"My mission..." the Black Beast Knight clenched his fist hard and said slowly, "to create a world that can bring beauty and happiness to people, so that the Golden Kingdom is no longer a fairy tale in everyone's mouth, but a paradise. , a signpost!”

"The Golden Kingdom should not only be accessible to the souls of innocent victims, it should be open to the world! How can the world become a beautiful place without seeing beauty!"

The Black Beast Knight's voice became louder and louder, and so did Oriel's voice. He raised the golden giant sword and stuck it on the ground, with his hands folded over the hilt.

He is like a huge door, blocking the Black Beast Knight and the Golden Kingdom.

"But I won't let you do this. I am the strongest knight of the Golden Kingdom. I will protect everything in the Golden Kingdom. Only absolutely pure souls can enter it. My eyes cannot tolerate any dirt!"

"Then I will defeat-" The Black Beast Knight's body was shaken and his shoulders dropped.

"What's wrong? Why don't you continue talking like before?" Olier frowned in disappointment and shouted.

"Because you know the truth of the world? Because you are corrupted and lost? Because the Golden Kingdom has been destroyed?"

"So you gave up your mission and oath?"

"If you want to say something childish, then carry it out! Even if it is distorted, even if it is corrupted, as long as it reaches the end without changing, it is just a detour!"

The armor of the living creature faded piece by piece, revealing the boy who stared at Olier stubbornly. Olier was a little dazed. Many years ago, when the Golden Kingdom still existed, this boy stood at the bottom of the steps and stared at him.

It's just that he was the villain at that time, and the boy's eyes were full of light, but now the boy's eyes are dark and he can't see the end he saw in the past.

"Your dream... maybe it's about to come true." Olier sighed softly.

"What?" The Black Beast Knight was stunned.

Olier shook his head and looked at the strangers in the distance with a complicated expression. He could hear the voices of the strangers, and heard them often discussing the [real world].

That was not a beautiful place, and the strangers who acted recklessly in the mouth of the Black Beast Knight felt pressure in such a place, and chose to show their inner selves here.

Maybe some people released evil, but some people also released kindness.

The strangers walking here are also the true appearance of their hearts.

"For strangers, this world may be the Golden Country."

"And you hate it, how ironic."
