Chapter 52 Where's your answer?
Near the suburbs outside the West City of the Empire, dense tents were piled up, which belonged to ordinary people.
A little further away, there was a camp where a large number of soldiers patrolled the camp, which was the military camp of the Black Knight Ajel.
"Sir! There is a Golden Adventurer asking for a visit!"
"Oh?" In the camp, Ajel, wearing black knight armor, raised his head and asked strangely: "Golden-level adventurer? His name is..."
"The leader of the Black Hawks, Knight Ador."
"Black Hawk Knight, shouldn't he have to go to the Duke?" Ajel murmured, then ordered: "Let him in."
"Affect the order."
After the messenger went out, two people came in. One was covered with black knight armor tightly, with only a crack on his eyes on the helmet. The other was wearing a chain mail. The equipment looked quite advanced, no, quite advanced, but the holder looked stupid.
"I wonder what the two of you have to do?" Ajer said, lowering his head and sorting out his documents casually.
"Black Knight Ajel is right?"
As soon as Ding Lei spoke, Ajer was nailed to the spot as if he was struck by lightning, and the documents on his hand were spilled all over the floor.
Sam secretly approached Ding Lei and asked, "Did he have cramps?"
Ding Lei glanced at him, shook his head, walked forward and said, "Ajie..."
"Don't come over!! I don't know!! I don't know anything!! I didn't say anything!!" The Black Knight suddenly became hysterical, his expression was like crying, and he howled while holding his head back, and finally when he wanted to squat down.
"What happened? Sir!" Outside the camp, a large number of guards holding weapons rushed in, all holding the swords around Ding Lei and his neck.
Sam fainted as soon as he saw this scene.
"Management." Ding Lei released his skills as Ajier was about to squat down, and his black knight's posture immediately stood up and his body was controlled, but his expression and tears could not be stopped.
"Sir?" The soldiers saw the black knights in tears, and were speechless. What was going on?
Ding Lei placed his arms on both sides, and his right fingers gently shook them to both sides. Following the movement, Ajel's head also shook to both sides, but his expression closed his eyes tightly, and tears flowed even harder.
The soldiers were all fooled, what does this mean? You are just talking back!
"His Excellency Black Knight and I are old acquaintances. After meeting, we were excited and wept."
Ding Lei said as he pointed his fingers up and down. As soon as he finished speaking, Ajer lit his head up and down while crying.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"No wonder I met an old friend in a foreign land."
"His Excellency Black Eagle, please forgive me for offending me, brothers, let me go." The Chief Guard waved and took people out.
Now, the tent has become quiet again.
Ding Lei slowly approached Ajel, and the black knight's expression seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Well, Ajel, right? That's right. As you think, I'm him, but don't worry, I won't hurt you, so calm down first?"
While saying that, he handed him a bottle of calming potion, which was the potion to eliminate the state of fear.
Seeing that the Black Knight was about to die, there was no way, Ding Lei directly plugged the potion into his hand, then held the back of his hand, and with force, the potion exploded, and the Black Knight flashed all over and calmed down.
"Is it better? I won't hurt you. Now I'm going to lift the control. Please stop shouting loudly?"
After Ding Lei said that, he slowly retreated, and the Black Knight suddenly felt dazed and his body could move.
Alas, it seems that he was really scared last time.
The Black Knight who calmed down understood that even if he screamed now, it was very likely that everyone would have to be buried with him.
But he didn't dare to say anything now, for fear of offending the demon.
"I'm here either to kill you to silence you or something, or to see how you are doing recently." Hearing the word "silence", the Black Knight trembled all over.
Of course, Ding Lei did not simply want to come and see. There is one in the eldest prince and one in the second prince. Then, it is best to have an undercover agent around Duke Amos. The black knight in front of him should have the greatest power, almost one of the dukes, and the person is above ten thousand people. Last night, he arranged for the transfer of the people to him, and his character is absolutely guaranteed.
He took him back to convert. This was Ding Lei's only purpose for coming here. For this reason, he had already greeted Camilla and the conversion officer through Communication Crystal.
However, before the change, you have to ask for his own opinions... It's okay to behave like to give yourself an explanation.
Gablier, the priest of the light of the city of Glory, was said to have been frightened by the goddesses of vengeance and suffered from insomnia all night. After transformation, all moods were liberated.
If you guessed correctly, Ajel should be even better now.
The Black Knight sat on the chair, sighed, and said quietly: "Since... since... since you and you came back, I have not slept for a day. Until one day, I found that I had to be a little better when I was learning the dark skills. Then I immediately went to the Temple to change my job listing. This made me feel a little more relaxed, but I still woke up by nightmare every night. I have not slept for several days in a row, and sometimes I don't know how long I can hold on."
Ding Lei: "...sorry."
"No, it's not your fault. Now I think about it. At least you have given us a way out, not like the third prince..."
"Then Ajel, I'll give you a chance now to help you eliminate your nightmare, are you willing?"
The Black Knight sat blankly on the chair and looked up at Ding Lei.
"Join me and you will gain immortality, eliminate nightmares, and gain unparalleled power!"
The Black Knight opened his mouth and thought he had heard it wrong. It was not until Ding Lei repeated it and then said, "I... am I my soul at the cost?"
"No, you are still you, just do things for me in the future, that's all."
“…Do you want me to slaughter the people?”
"Don't think so badly!"
"I'm very sorry, I..."
"What about your answer?!"
A deal with the devil...
I already knew his secret, and it was good to not be silenced, but then again, if he was really like the legendary demon king and had already started killing, what could he help him? His physical condition is getting worse and worse, and it is only a matter of time before his mental breakdown... Will it be better to join the demon? It is better to be a little better than to change to the Black Knight?
"Do you agree or refuse? Answer me, Black Knight Ajel!" The other party asked further when he saw that he did not reply here.
"I...if I join you, please promise me that your Highness will not force me to do anything I don't want to do, okay?"
"I promise you, then your answer is?"
The Black Knight struggled for a long time and finally sighed: Forget it, he is already a dying person, and he can take what he wants to do with this bad life.
Then he stood up and came to Ding Lei, knelt on one knee and saluted: "Willes Empire Expeditionary Force, Chief Knight Officer Ajel Field, see Your Highness!"
"Camilla! Open the portal!" Ding Lei shouted with his head raised.
Suddenly, the space behind him was twisted, and the electric arc flowed, and the legendary portal appeared inside the tent.
Ding Lei asked aside, Ajer stood up, looked at the dark portal in the middle in front, and looked at the demon king beside him, swallowed, suppressed the fear in his heart, and walked towards his future...
