Chapter 1404 The Knight's Last Wish, the Queen's Doubts
Walking across the central square stained with fire and blood, and ascending the huge spiral floating staircase, Lancelot could feel that the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic had regained the tranquility that he had when he first saw it.
However, the strong smell of blood in the air made this tranquility seem even more unpleasant.
Lancelot did not feel too sad or apologetic about this, even though the killing was not justified.
Yes, this was just a killing spree commissioned by the government.
But Lancelot would not care too much, because a knight's duty is to be loyal to his lord, and all of this is just a necessary means to complete the mission assigned by the lord.
As long as his lord needs him, Lancelot will not hesitate even if he completely abandons the spirit of chivalry and turns into a murderous demon.
He was Hathi's Knight first, and the Knight of the Lake second.
At the end of the spiral staircase is a huge and magnificent Gothic castle.
This is the highest point of Rhea Lukalia, a huge library that contains all the wisdom of magicians of all generations.
In front of the extremely heavy door of the Great Library, a knight had been waiting for a long time.
Kalia Knight, Mugram.
He wore the Kalia Knight Armor, which was the most proud of the Kalia Knights, held a knight sword and a knight shield, and had a sword and staff for casting spells on his waist. He just watched Lancelot walk towards the Great Library in silence.
No expression could be seen on the face hidden by the helmet.
Lancelot stopped when he was less than ten meters away from Mugram, drew the cracked Kalia Knight Sword from the scabbard at his waist, and held the sword solemnly in front of him.
Clang! Kalia Knight Mugram drew out his Kalia Knight sword and held it upright in front of him.
Two noble knights were showing their respect to each other in the most ancient way.
But Lancelot couldn't just leave like that, and Mugram was determined to protect the queen for hundreds of years and not let anyone get close to the great library.
The two knights stood in the courtyard in front of the great library in silence.
The sky above my head was already covered with leaden clouds at some point, and the wind was mixed with the smell of damp earth.
Suddenly, a winding streak of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a loud thunder.
They both moved at the same time!
The Lake Knight and the Kalia Knight had a decisive battle unknown to anyone in the courtyard in front of this magnificent library.
That was a duel that could not be told to outsiders.
It was a fight without any question of right or wrong.
It was a confrontation between sword and sword, knight and knight, belief and belief.
Finally, the sword of the Knight Kalia drew a poignant circle in the air and pierced the ground in the courtyard at an angle.
Mugram fell heavily to his knees, blood gushing out from the huge crack in the front of his breastplate.
Lancelot was breathing rapidly. A crack appeared on the eye area of his helmet, and the slits in the visor that was glowing scarlet light looked like tears of blood.
He lowered his arms, and only the hilt of the Kalia Knight sword in his hand remained.
It was a powerful opponent. Lancelot was only a step away from being killed by Mugram. The magical sword of Kalia even cut through his helmet.
But the deep blue lightsaber condensed by his knight sword was the first to split Mugram's armor, flesh, and heart.
The two were not enemies, but the philosophy that Mugram had adhered to for hundreds of years had become his lifelong motivation - not to let anyone get close to the Great Library, anyone!
Carefully placing the hilt of the knight's sword back into the scabbard, Lancelot walked towards the kneeling Knight Kalia.
Even though he was kneeling on the ground with fatal injuries, he still kept his back straight.
Finally, just as Lancelot walked up to him, the man, perhaps the last Knight of Kalia, spoke his first and last words in hundreds of years.
"Please...save my...queen..."
Mugram's movement froze as he raised the Kalia Knight Shield in his hand, and there was no sound anymore.
Lancelot took off his helmet and bowed to the powerful and loyal knight.
"I will, don't worry."
He solemnly took the Kalia Knight Shield raised by Mugram, pulled out the Kalia Knight Sword that originally belonged to Mugram and was stuck on the ground, and strode towards the door of the library.
Squeak-!
With a heavy sound that made one's teeth ache, the door of the library that had never been opened since the queen closed herself off was pushed open, and dust fell.
This large library is truly a palace that gathers the wisdom of countless magicians from the border area.
Countless bookshelves stood in the darkness, with cold candlesticks of various sizes interspersed between the shelves, and even more books and handwriting piled up into small hills.
Lancelot held a sword and a shield, walking in the dark and silent library.
Suddenly, he alertly dodged to the side and looked down at his feet, only to see a figure lying on the ground trying to grab his ankle.
The figure raised her head, and it turned out to be a young and beautiful girl. She was wearing the uniform of a magic student. She was lying on the ground, looking up at Lancelot with an ambiguous smile.
Then, candlelight lit up in the darkness of the distant library, and a large number of magic students who looked exactly the same lay on the ground, holding lit candlesticks in their hands, crawling towards Lancelot with laughter.
Lancelot did not act rashly, but just raised his head and looked upwards in the center of the library.
A warm golden light appeared there at some point.
The tall woman seems to be floating weightlessly above the central area, with a chair underneath her that symbolically carries her.
The woman had an extremely beautiful face. She wore a majestic and wide wizard robe and a crescent-shaped crown on her head that was made in the shape of the moon.
No need to say much, just at the first sight of her, Lancelot could confirm that this person must be the famous Full Moon Queen, Lena.
Facing Lancelot who had trespassed into the Great Library, Reinara was neither sad nor happy. She was just immersed in holding a piece of amber stone emitting golden light in her arms, muttering to herself:
"Finally... the loyal knights who protected the Great Library were also defeated...
Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen… I will definitely make you a good child…”
She stroked the amber stone tenderly, as if she were her own child.
"Queen of the Full Moon! My name is Lancelot, and I have been entrusted by your daughter, Princess Lani of the Moon, to come and take you back!"
Lancelot raised his head and spoke loudly.
As if awakened by Lancelot's voice, Reinara's eyes regained some clarity for the first time, and she looked down at the knight below in confusion.
Lancelot was not wearing a helmet at this moment, his black hair fell to his shoulders, and his face was handsome.
When she saw Lancelot's face, the Full Moon Queen's eyes widened and her lips trembled slightly:
"La...Dagan...?"
