36. Light is a bond

The king's way is really a wonderful skill.

When it adds strength, it can allow Charlemagne to knock down Emperor Karl's mobile holy capital with one sword.

But when negative effects come, like now, Charlemagne feels that he has been despaired just now because his mind is filled with thoughts of "Damn it! I should have rushed forward handsomely just now! But why can't I move? Move my holy sword!" The appearance of the witch's aura suppressing (actually amplifying negative emotions) was so embarrassing that even now he can't stand up properly.

Lu Mingfei watched the skill gauge next to his head rising and falling. The surreal feeling actually made him feel funny for no reason.

It's strange to say.

The aura of the Witch of Despair amplified the negative emotions in everyone's hearts. Some people were furious, some were discouraged, some had low self-esteem, and some were flushed because of it, and their bodies exuded the charming fragrance of flowers.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Prelati, who was enjoying the feeling of despair.

Prelati is not really able to ignore despair, but, how to put it, it’s better not to pay attention to this bad thing walking on its own.

The person who was wondering was Lu Mingfei. He was shrouded in the light of despair. Not to mention having negative emotions, he even felt more alive, as if he had taken melatonin. He couldn't help but hum "No harvest this year." Gift, only melatonin will be charged for receiving the gift."

Then he punched away the crazy monster approaching Marseille.

Although Lu Mingfei was more lively and energetic, other people were not so lucky. Even Alta and Charlemagne were attacked. Naturally, all the guards guarding Marseille fell, and the bloodthirsty monsters rushed towards this person. A paralyzed town.

I have to say that Giorgios is really a reliable and handsome uncle. If he hadn't reminded Lu Mingfei and others, the small town of Marseille would have suffered heavy losses if it failed to prevent it.

Even if you help protect this place, you probably won't get paid, but at this time, what do you think of Sakura girl?

"Because the people who need help are there. Heroes can't hesitate in the face of difficulties."

Lu Mingfei was still a little embarrassed when he said this in person.

Just, that's it, it feels like a middle grader.

But Lu Mingfei knew that Charlemagne definitely needed this.

The value of the King's Way has gone up slightly.

Charlemagne, who was struggling, took a deep breath, forced a smile, and joined the battle to defend Marseille.

No wonder the King's Dao Break skill is only rated C.

Although it was unreasonably strong when it was strengthened, the side effects were too serious, especially when faced with the despair aura of the Witch of Despair, which almost directly destroyed the powerful Holy Knight Emperor.

Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky.

The Raging Witch, Saint Martha, and St. George, who showed abilities that made Lu Mingfei feel a sense of déjà vu inexplicably, a bit like the villain in a certain movie called "A Certain Magical Index", the three of them and The battle against the Witch of Despair continues.

Compared with the underground, what stands out is a fight between gods.

I just don’t know when the winner will be decided. Can they really defeat the Witch of Despair? Such thoughts flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.

Prelati was currently using his familiar to monitor the battle situation above.

Lu Mingfei temporarily turned his attention back to the ground.

Let’s not talk about the sky above, the battle situation on the ground is getting more and more tense.

Although Lu Mingfei was not affected by despair, during the wide-ranging guard battle, Lu Mingfei, who was running around, realized a big shortcoming of his current pseudo-server state.

There are no AOE skills, no long-range skills, just a set of strengthening skills. The function is to stack the buff and go to person A.

To put it simply, it was impossible to clear the area. Even if any monster alone could not withstand his punch, these monsters were distributed everywhere around Marseille. Lu Mingfei could only run with his feet. After a while, although Lu Mingfei eliminated nearly There are hundreds of monsters, but the city is still filled with smoke.

There must be something missing.

"."

Even if Prelati released the magic bullet and joined the team, it still didn't work, the efficiency was too low.

In Prelati's own words, she is just an alchemist and does not have the exaggerated power of the warriors. What's more, her original body was destroyed by Emperor Karl. Apart from the illusion ability, this body is basically an empty shell. .

Charlemagne originally had the ability to suppress the entire crowd, but at this time, because he could not let go of the battle in the sky, he was restrained.

It’s not that Lu Mingfei didn’t understand Charlemagne’s thoughts.

He must be trying hard to resist the aura of despair now and want to cheer up again. As long as he can eliminate the witch of despair in the sky, then the aura of despair will dissipate and the paralyzed city defense function can be restarted. After the monsters lose their violent power , it won’t be so tricky.

But it is because of this entanglement of not being up and not being down that it restrains Charlemagne and this simple young paladin emperor.

Although it was not clear what kind of person he would become as Emperor Karl when he grew up, the immaturity of the young Paladin Emperor was obvious. Lu Mingfei even felt that he was younger than himself in terms of mental age.

At this time.

☆

Lu Mingfei felt that he should encourage Charlemagne, but after all, he was a clumsy man. He usually joked and said dirty things, but when it came to such a formal occasion, Lu Mingfei felt that he had many thoughts in his heart, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't think of anything for a while. Unable to organize the language.

Damn it! For those male protagonists in hot-blooded boy comics, how do they develop their tongue-in-cheek skills?

That kind of serious speech

Lu Mingfei hasn't figured out the result yet.

Just when he destroyed a bipedal flying dragon monster in front of him with one punch for the unknown number of times——

"sorry"

The sudden voice behind him startled Lu Mingfei. He didn't know whether it was him or the instinct of the spirit base in his body. Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei's fist had already hit the other party's head.

Lu Mingfei regretted a little, but it was too late, but——

"Excuse me, can you help me?"

The other party just calmly received Lu Mingfei's fist with one hand, and asked Lu Mingfei calmly as if nothing had happened.

This is a man with long gray-white hair, a Nordic face, and deep and handsome features, but there is always a trace of sorrow and depression between his eyebrows, which is inexplicably reminiscent of an ascetic.

Although Lu Mingfei's subconscious punch was not full force, it was powerful enough. The opponent was actually unscathed, and even seemed not to feel any harm.

——It’s a follower

Carrying a large sword behind his back, he looked like he was a heroic servant of Saber.

"Saber, Siegfried, can you assist me?"

The man directly revealed his real name. The moment they heard the name, Prelati and Charlemagne cast extremely surprised looks at the same time.

Even Lu Mingfei was frightened.

Because the name is so famous, what is more famous than the person is the story of how he bathed in dragon's blood and became invulnerable. In the story, his back was covered with bodhi leaves, so that only a small area was not bathed in dragon's blood. fatal weakness.

The heroic spirit Siegfried is undoubtedly top-notch in strength, but he and his weaknesses are as famous as the Greek hero Achilles and his heel. The very act of revealing his name is the same as committing suicide, or in other words, giving his life to It makes no difference if someone else keeps it.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no intention of refusing, Siegfried continued to make his request calmly.

"The church in this city is the mobile holy capital of the Holy King. That building can resist monsters. Now all the innocent residents are unable to move because of the witch. I hope you can help me bring everyone nearby to take refuge."

The overly formal speech made Lu Mingfei confused. Compared with those words, he actually subconsciously wanted to ask: "How could you not be affected?"

The look in Siegfried's eyes at Lu Mingfei suddenly became strange, as if he was asking: Why are you not affected?

But the legendary dragon-slaying hero still answered honestly: "I have the A-level [Regroup] skill, and I used it to remove the negative effects."

Siegfried paused.

"I'm sorry," he added, "I know you must have many things you want to communicate with me, but before that, could you please help me escort the residents to evacuate?"

"Ah, oh! Oh! Of course! Where is the church? Are we moving, right? I'll be there right away!"

In fact, there is no reason to refuse.

Giorgios asked them not to interfere in the battle in the sky, and Prelati also suggested not to interfere, because objectively speaking, the power of Emperor Karl is also likely to be the opponent in the future. Let them fight the Witch of Despair first and see both sides. It's good to have whatever trump card you have, but it would be better if Lu Mingfei and others pick it up in a life-and-death fight.

If that’s the case, let’s take action!

But Charlemagne spoke at this time.

"Siegfried, Siegfried, the hero of the Nibelungenlied, why don't you fight the Witch of Despair?"

Even though he was affected by the aura of despair, the anxious young Paladin Emperor still made speeches that were extremely irresponsible, extremely immature, and, in Lu Mingfei's words, 'extremely unpopular'.

"You obviously know it! You can't save many people now! The number of people you can hide in the church is limited, and the scope of our protection is limited. In order to save everyone, shouldn't you fight?! Unlike me, who is embarrassed, you You can still fight, right!?”

The immature side of the young Paladin Emperor was fully revealed.

Although it is also due to the influence of the aura of despair. But these words are too nonsense, just like a virgin bitch blaming "Why don't you save them?"

Although Charlemagne certainly didn't think so, that's what he meant when he said it.

Lu Mingfei was already ready to break up the fight.

but--

"sorry."

Charlemagne is a child, but Siegfried is not.

"I can't respond to your expectations, I can't save everyone, and I can't fight the witch."

"you--"

"Sorry, because I can't fly."

Charlemagne was speechless for a moment.

"My idea is to save people, not to save as many people as possible, but to save as many people as possible. I am just an ordinary soldier. The only thing I can save and protect is the narrow range that my sword can point to. "

"The inability to save everyone and the inability to participate in the battle between the gods in the sky is not a reason to give up saving people."

Siegfried paused and then said apologetically.

".Sorry, maybe I disturbed you."

Siegfried lowered his head, then quickly turned around, ready to continue his work of "saving as many people as possible".

Charlemagne looked at his back blankly. The legendary dragon slayer exposed the weakness behind his back to everyone's eyes, but he was not distracted and once again devoted himself to the rescue operation.

Suddenly, the value of King Dao's breakthrough increased a lot after an instant decrease.

"Wait for me to help too! I'm sorry for saying so many nasty things to you!"

Although due to the influence of the aura of despair, it is difficult to increase the value of the King's Path, but at least it will not have too serious negative effects now.

At least as a companion, Prelati said that her shoulders were much lighter.

This thing is also a two-way team halo - although the negative effects are useless to Lu Mingfei.

Just when Lu Mingfei also rushed to save people——

".Please wait a moment, everyone, I have a way to save more people."

These words came from Lu Mingfei's mouth.

But, it is a beautiful female voice.

☆

Ruler Malda, the owner of the heroic spirit spirit fused with Lu Mingfei, is finally no longer hidden.

Although there is still a Rider's Martha in the sky, considering that there are two Charlemagne, there seems to be nothing to worry about.

The Martha in Lu Mingfei's body claims to be 'Marda in a young mental state'.

The saintly sister who acted swiftly and neatly did not waste much time on self-introduction, but went directly to the topic.

"The method of transporting people into the church is feasible, but the efficiency is too low and cannot save many people at all, so I have a method here, which is to increase manpower."

Following Martha's instructions, the group rushed to the garrison on the edge of Marseille while cleaning up the monsters.

Except for a small number of patrols, most of Marseille's guards are stationed here. Although most of them are sailors, fortunately, in order to resist the monsters in the water, Emperor Karl arranged a considerable number of regiments here. The total number of soldiers is Close to three hundred!

The monsters naturally attacked here, but fortunately, with the desperate efforts of a few determined soldiers, the gate of the garrison was closed. The monsters were unable to break through the strong fortress and soon gave up on this strong point. , and went hunting in the town instead.

When Lu Mingfei and others arrived, they saw a young soldier with the right half of his body covered in blood and flesh on the inside of the gate, just hanging on for breath.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's not hard to imagine that he was the one who closed the door and saved the lives of the other soldiers inside, right?

The dark-skinned young man from Marseille can tell at a glance that he often goes to sea.

Already arrived at destination.

Then, let these soldiers stand up again and join the team protecting the town.

Increasing manpower is indeed a good way. Siegfried talked to Lu Mingfei and others for this reason. The magic power in the singularity is rich. Even ordinary people in this era can fight monsters after being trained.

The key is how to liberate them from the aura of the Witch of Despair.

And the key, according to Martha, lies with Charlemagne.

——Magic release/light

A-level magic is emitted, the same level as King Arthur, and has a particularly special 'light' attribute.

There is no such thing as light among the four elements, and it is not the true ether mastered by warriors like Siegfried from the mythical age. Charlemagne's magic release is extremely special. This is a special skill that only some saints can master.

Do you still remember Prelati’s analysis of the spiritual attribute energy of the Seven Deadly Sins?

If the witches are its negative side, the light controlled by Charlemagne has a positive influence.

Rather, all of Charlemagne's skills have the effect of providing a huge amount of extra correction when "fighting for the right things".

Charlemagne’s light is, in layman’s terms, what is commonly known as ‘holy light’.

The level of magic power release skills is not the level of strength, but the level of 'manipulation ability', that is, the rating of 'what can be done with these magic powers'.

King Arthur can turn magic power into flowing armor, and can also use high-speed rotating cutting magic power to split stars.

The holy light with level A can not only be used for fighting, but rather, as an idealistic skill, it can only be used for destruction, which is an area it is not good at.

In fact, Charlemagne's holy light is able to resist the aura of the Witch of Despair. The reason why his combat power is so drastically reduced is mainly due to the negative impact of the deceptive skill of King Dao Break.

"Give your light to all here, Charlemagne."

Martha, who always wields an iron fist, said like a real saint:

"This power was originally a type of miracle that only saints could master. But the fact that you are here proves the existence of the 'Paladin'. Regardless of whether the church recognizes it or not, the Paladin who masters the Holy Light exists." of."

In layman's terms, it means canonization.

As the Paladin Emperor, Charlemagne, as the emperor of the Frank Empire, has the qualifications to grant the status of Paladin to others.

Compared with the unattainable special identity of a saint, the concept of a paladin can be said to be Charlemagne's.

——That is to say.

To protect the family

To protect my hometown

To protect our companions

"Not for anyone else, but for the justice in your heart!"

Charlemagne squatted in front of the dying boy and stretched out his hand to him. The immature Holy Knight Emperor boy's eyebrows were full of complex emotions, like an invitation and a request.

Lu Mingfei suddenly stretched out his hand and folded it with Charlemagne's palm. Alta followed closely behind, Siegfried followed silently, and even Prelati looked like "Oh, there is really no way." stretched out his hand.

The hands of the companions are linked together.

As if the uneasiness in Charlemagne's heart had been dispelled, the space was filled with the shining but not dazzling, but extremely warm holy light.

This is a collective canonization ceremony.

Very crude, but effective.

Under the care of the holy light, the young man's dying body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. He seemed to hear Charlemagne's voice and stretched out his hand towards him and the holy light.

"Can I also become a knight who protects everyone?"

No one knows the story of this young man. In the huge wave of tragic events, there are too many people who risk their lives to protect something.

These people are light and hope.

The Witch of Despair is the embodiment of negative emotions in human nature.

Then there are many people like him who sing praises to the greatness of mankind.

This feeling has indeed been conveyed.

Light seems to have turned into a link, connecting everyone. It does not give power, but awakens the power in people's hearts and embodies it.

Even Giorgios, who was waving the [Right Hand of God], seemed to have noticed something.

"Is this...even though it's just a little bit, is the despair actually starting to be dispelled?"

A smile appeared on the face of the man who was praised as the greatest saint.

No matter how many hymns to him, it is better to let him see this light.

"That's right, this is the source of 'I (Michael)''s strength. The hymn of mankind is the hymn of [courage]!"

"Ding dong!"

The little devil deliberately made a special effect sound in Lu Mingfei's ear, as if he had learned a new skill in "Pokémon".

"Brother, you have acquired the new skill 'Holy Light (Courage)'!"

The Holy Light is an introduction, guiding out the best power in everyone's heart to fight against despair.

in the name of paladin

In the name of Holy Light!

It was not just a few people, but many, many people, all those who longed to live, all those who longed to protect their homes and families, stood up!

The boy was shouting.

"Paladins! Stand up! Fight for protection!"

No special identity is required, no indulgences need to be purchased from the church.

Anyone who has the courage to fight for protection can become light.

←to be continued!

Strictly speaking, the principle is the same as the power of the Witch of Despair.
