"Knights Templar!"
The little saint looked happy.
"Protect the Saint! Kill!"
Hundreds of heavily armored knights charged forward like a torrent of steel.
The demons surrounding Chen Yu and the little saint were like frightened crows, flapping their wings in fear and flying into the sky.
"shoot!"
The leading knight shouted angrily.
Hundreds of knights immediately raised their lances and shot them towards the densely packed demons in the sky.
"Buzz-"
A buzzer sounded.
The lance wrapped in white holy power instantly penetrated countless demons.
The demons who were still alive did not dare to stroke the Templars' beards, so they fluttered their wings and fled.
Those demons without the ability to fly were not so lucky and directly became the souls of the knights.
The torrent of knights slowed down when it rushed in front of Chen Yu and the little saint, and then separated automatically, surrounding Chen Yu and the little saint.
Countless noisy hoofbeats roared past his ears, but Chen Yu felt extremely peaceful.
This mission is finally completed!
After a while, the leader of the commanding knights rode up to Chen Yu and the little saint, dismounted, and took off his helmet.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, has long curly flaxen hair, and has a resolute face, not angry or intimidating.
The bright silver armor was stained with some dark red blood.
Upon closer inspection, there are countless light scratches.
"Qiang——"
The knight leader bent down and saluted the little saint.
"Lord Dalia!"
The little saint's expression has returned to calmness, and she said calmly: "We need treatment, please do it as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Dalia turned and called to a knight.
The knight dismounted and walked over, holding up a white holy light in his hand and shining it on Chen Yu and the little saint.
Chen Yu suddenly felt a soft force integrating into his body, warm and comfortable, as if all his fatigue had been emptied away.
But... my head still hurts!
This is the result of excessive mental damage that damages the soul.
For others, this kind of injury can only be healed slowly.
As for Chen Yu, Lu is a professional in this field.
There was no forced use of mental power, no damage from the telepathic explosion, and the power that penetrated from the road to death had begun to gradually repair Chen Yu's soul injuries.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?"
After the treatment was completed, Dalia asked the little saint.
"I have recovered a little." The little saint nodded, and then looked at Chen Yu, "Thanks to the ascetic, I can return safely."
"Lord Heratugus!"
Dalia stood up straight and looked at Chen Yu with eyes full of respect.
He held the center of the helmet with his right hand, held his right chest with his left hand, and then bent down and bowed to Chen Yu.
This is a serious and solemn knighthood.
"Ah hello."
Chen Yu smiled and returned the salute.
"Your Excellency, please."
Dalia stretched out her right hand.
The knights immediately moved out of the way.
"Do you have something to say?" Chen Yu glanced at Dalia doubtfully.
Dalia nodded.
"good."
Chen Yu left with Dalia.
After walking out of the knights' siege, Chen Yu discovered that the knights were surrounded by a dense army of demons.
There are at least a thousand or more fourth-level demon bosses, facing off against the knights.
"Want to fight?"
Chen Yu's spirit immediately lifted up.
"Your Excellency Heratugus." Dalia stared at the demon army and whispered, "I just want to ask, is it worth it?"
"How should I answer?" Chen Yu's expression froze.
It should be plot time now.
But he himself is a plot NPC, but he has never read the script. He really doesn't know how to answer this kind of plot dialogue.
However, the next moment, a shadow appeared beside him.
The shadow's face could not be seen clearly, its clothes were dirty and patched, and its hair was messy, as if it had not been washed for many years.
Although the entire phantom is in a blurry state, the familiar holy power and abyss magic power in the body all indicate that this phantom is the virtual body he used before.
"Of course it's worth it." Xuying said slowly.
"Oh, it turns out the plot characters are here." Chen Yu suddenly realized.
At this point, the other testers may have been in a third-person void perspective.
But because he had brought his true form here, he was still there to watch it with his own eyes.
"When gods come to the world, it is very dangerous if they only have the wisdom of gods and no human emotions." Xuying also looked at the demon army with a compassionate expression.
"For God, this world is just a gestation place, an existence that can be given up at any time."
"And for us, this is our home!"
"Let this world have hope of redemption, and the price is just to sacrifice me. Why is it not worth it?"
"Besides, experiencing the suffering of the world is also a kind of training that she must go through on the road ahead."
"Your Excellency Heratugus!" Dalia performed a knight's salute again.
"Your glory will be remembered by the world!"
"Your contribution will be appreciated by the world!"
"Act according to the plan, don't let my efforts be in vain!" The shadow sighed softly, turned into countless dim light spots, and disappeared into the air.
Listen to the conversation.
Chen Yu probably understood.
This Heratugus seems to be a noble character who is selfless, fearless and dedicated to himself.
Create a chance for redemption for the world through self-sacrifice.
The god who came to the world most likely refers to the little saint.
"Heratugus" is probably a way to awaken the little saint's wandering love for this world, so as not to run away in times of danger.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the little saint was captured by the fallen, and it was this person who planned it.
Of course, this is just speculation based on one-sided words, and the specific situation must be a long and boring story.
This plot solved a lot of doubts.
But Chen Yu always felt that Heratugus had a strong sense of disobedience.
First of all, why is a person who is quite prestigious in the temple a third-level weakling?
Secondly, why didn’t Dalia feel surprised at all when she saw Chen Yu using the magic power of the abyss so skillfully?
It stands to reason that given the purity of the power of the Holy Temple, there is absolutely no room for the existence of degenerates.
Have the two of you communicated about specific plans through Qi before?
Third, how did Heratugus die just now?
Turning into a point of light and disappearing, is this a way for a mere third-level priest to die?
Finally, and most importantly, the appearance of this plot means that Chen Yu has completed the mission, which means that he has met Heratugus's expectations.
Is Heratugus's expectation to rescue the little saint, or to have an emotional entanglement with the little saint?
Judging from the dialogue, I'm afraid it's the latter.
What Chen Yu did was to make the little saint feel dependent and attached to him.
If the little saint hadn't seen through Chen Yu as an "actor", then the root of this emotion would belong to Heratugus.
In order to achieve the purpose of making the little saint be attached to this world and protect it in the future, wouldn't it be better to send other priests to share the joys and sorrows with her, or even die for her, to stimulate her emotions? Why go into battle in person?
"Tsk, tsk, it's not easy. He's probably the sixth child." Chen Yu sighed, "It seems that I need to remind the little guy to prevent her from suffering the consequences of the sixth child in the future!"
At this moment, a pulling feeling suddenly appeared on Chen Yu.
It was the force that pulled the soul in the dark space before.
The plot of Heratugus is over, which means that Chen Yu's mission is also over, and it's time to return.
However, something very nonsense happened.
In the potential trial world, Chen Yu's body is his true body.
It would be funny if the soul was taken away and the body was still here.
It is estimated that Tenglong Academy will publish a news page the next day:
"Surprise! The strongest number one scholar came to Tenglong University and turned into a ghost overnight!"
Helpless, Chen Yu could only rely on the power of the Road to Rebirth to calm his soul.
"Who are you!"
At this moment, Dalia suddenly pulled out the knight's sword and looked at Chen Yu warily.
"Are you suffering from amnesia?" Chen Yu just wanted to curse.
"Huh? This is... the power used by Lord Ascetic just now?" Dalia withdrew the knight sword with a puzzled expression, "Are you Lord Ascetic?"
"No, hasn't Lord Ascetic already sacrificed his life?"
"Yeah, cheating caused a bug." Chen Yu's face twitched.
In the eyes of others, Chen Yu is undoubtedly the ascetic Heratugus.
But just now the ascetic exploded in full view of the public.
It stands to reason that the trialist should also complete the task and return to the original world at this time.
But Chen Yu's true body is here, which causes the NPC's cognitive impairment to be lifted.
What they saw was no longer the ascetic Heratugus, but Chen Yu himself.
"How can this be done?"
Chen Yu was numb.
