"Hey, hey, hey! The Riddler is going to be beaten!" Jiang Bai felt that his fist was itchy.
The master didn't tell him because he was restricted by the contract. Why can't you, a survivor of Kanria, tell him?
Is it possible that this curse also has a sealing function?
If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.
"The matter of Kanria has become a taboo, and the taboo is not something you can touch now."
Dain looked up to the top of his head. Although he couldn't see the sky here, his sight seemed to pass through the thick rock formations and saw the island floating in the sky overlooking everything, and the scarlet moonlight that represented death.
"Okay, okay."
What can Jiang Bai do? He can't pry his mouth open.
"Um?"
As if he noticed something, Dyne looked behind him, where several black snake knights suddenly appeared with spears in their hands and attacked them without explanation.
Jiang Bai frowned, "It's this kind of black knight again."
He had felt that someone was spying on them before, and now he finally showed up.
"This is the Black Snake Knight, who once belonged to the Camria Palace Guards."
Dai Yin looked at these passing comrades without any fluctuation in his expression.
Jiang Bai accepted the attacks from these black snake knights and even had time to chat with Daine.
"Isn't that your former subordinate? Should I be more gentle?"
Dai Yin directly told Jiang Bai with actions not to hold back.
"They used to be, but now the strong curse aura on their bodies and the way they fight without all glory show that they are already minions of the abyss."
These black snake knights seemed to acquiesce to Dine's words. They didn't say anything and just attacked silently.
Under the wear and tear of the long-term curse, they have long forgotten the appearance of their former comrades, and no longer recognize the [Sword of the End of Light] that represents the glory of the palace guard.
Looking at the Black Snake Knight who could avoid his attack but endured it to protect the Qiuqiu people behind him, Jiang Bai couldn't help but slow down his movements.
"Wait, are they protecting these Qiuqiu people?"
He and Sora were back to back and did not launch any more attacks.
Dain looked at these former colleagues whose faces could no longer be seen with confusion.
"Is it because the breath of the curse can be suppressed here? Even if they have no intelligence, they can still get some respite."
Dain closed his eyes with difficulty, "The last order I gave them was: protect the people of Kanria. And it seems that they have not forgotten this order to this day."
Even if they no longer remember the past, even if their true spirits are extinguished, they still remember their mission.
A hoarse roar like the howl of a monster came, one after another, until the black snake knight who heard the sound stopped fighting and protected these Qiuqiu people behind him.
"What is this sound? Is the leader of these black snake knights coming?"
Jiang Bai looked around, but didn't see any suspicious figures.
Dyne looked complicated after understanding the meaning of these words.
"Let's go, get out of here first."
He could no longer attack these comrades.
The three of them walked backwards and slowly came to the door. These black snake knights just guarded these Qiuqiu people and did not attack them again.
A black snake knight suddenly appeared, and the roaring sound came from his mouth.
He stood in front of the black snake knights and looked at Dainsreb.
He seemed to want to say something, but he just stared silently and said nothing.
Dyne stopped, and his distinctive four-pointed star pupils suddenly widened.
This familiar smell.
how come? Without that thing, how can one maintain self-awareness in five hundred years?
"Did he recognize you and want to tell you something?"
Kong looked sideways at Dyne, not missing the shock in his eyes.
"Halfdan...?" Dainsreb said hesitantly.
The black snake knight in front of him just looked at him. He was unable to speak or respond.
Although Halfdan did not respond, Dine already got the answer he wanted.
There was deep sorrow in his eyes, "Is this so? If this is true, it would be really sad..."
Paimon looked confused, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Dyne patiently explained to Paimon, "He is a young elite in the palace guard in the past, named Halfdan."
"I still vaguely remember that on the day of the Camria disaster, as the Sword of the Last Light, before I rushed to the palace, I asked the knight named Halfdan:
"[Tell all the Black Snake Knights to protect the people of Kanrea no matter what.]
"It is true that we have the title of palace guard, but in the face of that kind of catastrophe, the royal family, celebrities, civilians...these identities lose their meaning.
“Faced with the power of the gods, the only identity of [Kanria people] exists on the earth.
"Perhaps they have completely lost their minds, but the belief in protecting the people of Kanria is engraved in their bones..."
Several people listened quietly to him telling this long-standing story, and no one interrupted.
Even the black snake knight named Halfdan just listened quietly without saying anything.
The two sides maintained a safe distance, and only Dine's words echoed in the space.
"This inverted ruins is very similar to the architectural structure of Kanria. They regard this ruins as Kanria in disaster, and regard the Qiuqiu people as people seeking help.
"As I heard, what he kept shouting was definitely not a warning to others..."
"what is that?"
Paimon couldn't tell the meaning from their roars.
“Although it’s hard to tell, I can tell that it’s the ancient Kanreyan word for ‘flee quickly’!”
"Run away? So his roar just now told these Qiuqiu people to run away?"
Dain shook his head.
"These Qiuqiu people have reached the end of their lives and chose this place as their resting place. The roar just now has no meaning."
Looking at Halfdan, Daine had a complicated expression.
He seemed to see through the dark armor and see the young man's resolute face inside the armor.
"Even I have to admit that this will is so tenacious that it has not been erased after 500 years. It is a miracle born of despair."
"I'm afraid Halfdan is not the only black snake knight who has consciousness."
Kong completely explored the entire abyss, and he encountered several conscious black snake knights.
It's just that although these black snake knights still have some consciousness, they are unable to communicate with others and only have obsessions.
"Oh?" Dain was very surprised.
The existence of Halfdan in this abyss can be regarded as a miracle.
But he didn't expect that there were other people who still had consciousness despite the 500-year painful curse.
