Chapter 138 The End of the Age: The Path of the Knight

The calm lake surface reflected a little light, and there was no ripple on the mirror-like lake surface. The mountains and the blue sky were reflected on it, just like a world in reflection.

Vito looked around the mountains around him. The tops of those mountains were covered with snow, the towering peaks reached the sky, and the magnificent primeval forests were scattered on those mountains.

The judge was also walking in a forest. He walked in the magnificent woodland by the lake. The trees were so thick that they pointed to the sky. Those trees had grown for hundreds and thousands of years. They were so thick that ten people even needed to hold hands to hug their outlines.

Birds sang melodiously on the branches, and the footsteps of animals ran in the woods. The breeze blew from the lake, making the forest rustle. This was a beautiful world, a real paradise world.

Vito sighed sincerely. Although the people here are ignorant and have missed many achievements of civilization, they are also lucky. They can live in such a beautiful paradise instead of making up for the toxic gas, waste, dangerous gangs and living in the chaotic streets without sunlight.

It is beautiful and peaceful here. The wind blows on the face, listening to the rustling of the forest, feeling the warmth of the sun and the quiet natural environment, breathing the air that is not pungent. Indeed, this is definitely a paradise in the current galaxy.

It is really ironic. After all, the Eye of Terror is next to this planet, the source of all destruction and fear in the galaxy, but it is so beautiful and peaceful here. Cardia, which is also in this star field, is a completely different picture.

"Why do you want to wear local clothes?" Vito asked. The sun shredded into countless spots through the treetops and shone on his face. Lilith walked beside her, and the breeze blew her skirt.

She raised her head and closed her eyes. The fragmented sunlight shone on her face. She was so beautiful from this side view. It was completely different from her usual mysterious beauty. It was a natural beauty, a beauty that came from calmness and tranquility.

"I have always wanted to experience it. After all, there are many memories of the Middle Ages in your memory. Even if thousands of years have passed, those fragmented memories are still so clear."

"You looked at my memory again? I remember I clearly told you not to touch my memory fragments, right?" Vito said slowly, obviously not very concerned about it. After all, he knew that if you really want to restrict a Slaanesh demon, it is basically a dream.

Lilith shrugged and jumped onto a fallen pine log. She stood on it and ran briskly across the broken log. "Well, I saw it before you told me not to look. You have so many memories of that time."

Indeed, even now, Vito can still remember many things from that time, including the East, the West, and the Arabs in between. It must be said that a lot of things did happen at that time. Those fragmented memories mixed together, allowing him to remember that he had lived for so long.

He remembered the Colosseum in Rome, the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Theodoric Walls in Constantinople, the mountaintops in Jerusalem, and the quiet nights in the port of Alexandria.

He remembered the nights in Xi'an, and he could still remember the lantern tower in Luoyang City, the night parties during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and the moon-watching nights in Bianliang during the Song Dynasty.

Vito smiled and looked at Lilith running over the broken wood like a little girl. "Are you still going to wear Hanfu? I guess you can see those memories."

"I can consider it, provided that I can find it." Lilith said and jumped down. She turned around and walked on the forest path with her hands behind her back. Vito walked beside him and moved forward together.

Behind them, the tall giant walked in the forest. Lancelot's black armor projected spots of light. He looked at the lake, and countless memories came to his mind. The memories that had been blurred in his childhood came to his mind.

He remembered that there was such a lake in his hometown, where he would swim, dive and play with his friends who had forgotten their names, faces and everything.

Even the name of his hometown, Goronni, became so strange, but it made him miss home. Even though he joined the war group and fought in the dark galaxy for more than two centuries, home would always remind him of it.

Lancelot's iron boots stepped on the fallen leaves. He looked at the children playing by the river. They were skipping stones and waving sticks. Soon they noticed these outsiders.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. These young children had no fear of the outsiders at all. They immediately became interested and all ran over from the lake.

Lancelot looked at them and ran to Vito. He said something to the children, and then "introduced" them to him. The lively children surrounded the angel of death and told the questions one by one in a child's voice without any awe.

Lancelot looked at Vito, seeking help from the judge, but the latter just waved his hand and walked away. Lancelot cursed inwardly and looked at the children under him helplessly.

Vito walked to the lake, sat on a stone and looked at the beautiful lake. Lilith lifted her skirt and sat beside him. Lily looked in the direction of Lancelot. Obviously, the knights of Caliban could easily deal with traitors, demons and heretics, and could also intimidate those disloyal and incompetent idiots, but facing a group of innocent children, the pure souls were at a loss.

Vito laughed at Lancelot's panic. He laughed and patted his thigh, "Fuck, I really should have brought a camera, but don't worry, he will take care of it."

The judge said, looking at the mirror-like lake. He leaned on the stone and looked calmly, "But now, I want to rest for a while, do you mind?"

Lilith smiled and leaned on Vito. Her silver head leaned on Vito's arms and closed her eyes. Her long silver hair fell from her head and fell on Vito's arms like a waterfall.

Vito closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun. A voice emerged in his mind, a familiar voice.

"Dead girl, it's okay to stab my believers, but you still pretend to be young." The female voice said jealously.

Vito smiled and looked at the reflection on the water, looking at the vague outline of the woman in it, but even if he couldn't see it clearly, he could still feel the emotion so concretely, and Lilith was the same.

She smiled mockingly, and then hugged Vito's arms tighter.

"Angel! Angel! Can everyone become an angel? Only nobles?" A little boy asked excitedly. Lancelot squatted down to look at the child, but even if he squatted down, his tall body was still looking down at them.

Lancelot took off his helmet, which was really rare. He looked at the pure souls in front of him with his eyes, "No, as long as you are loyal, loyal and faithful to the emperor and faith, brave and wise, tenacious and firm, anyone can become his angel of death."

"What about you? Sir, can we all become knights? Emperor knights like you!" Another boy asked, dragging a wooden stick, obviously he had a lot of enthusiasm for becoming a knight, maybe he was the heir of a local knight.

Lancelot looked at him and nodded slightly, "Keep your enthusiasm, kid, be brave in training and stick to your heart. The Emperor will use countless trials and tests to verify you. If you satisfy him, then the honorable priest brothers of the Dark Angels will come to find you and take you to the Rock of Glory, where you will receive training and challenges."

"If you complete all the challenges as the Emperor wishes, then you can become a Caliban Knight and become the heir of Lion." Lancelot said, almost repeating the official statement of his own regiment, very mechanically, although he tried to pretend to be very calm.

But Lancelot was actually at a loss in the face of these enthusiastic children. He was almost led by them. Whatever they asked, he answered whatever he asked, without the dignity of a death angel.

"When can the challenge be completed? Will the angels come back to find us?" The child asked, looking forward to it and impatient. Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Only the Emperor knows, child, and only he can decide."

"Show us your sword! I dare say it is definitely different from ours!" said a boy, waving a wooden stick. Obviously it was not a sword, but the rest of the children also urged him, they wanted to see the knight's sword like a clamor.

Lancelot looked at them at a loss, then hesitated for a moment and pulled out the sword. He stuck the sword into the ground, allowing the children to see the power sword up close.

The child stroked the blade of the power sword. The cold black sword was flowing with a halo, and the sacred prayer was written on it. He looked at the sword excitedly.

"What is it made of?" he asked, and Lancelot nodded slightly, "Star Iron, extracted by the war group from the most perfect star system meteorite, and then forged by secret methods. Every knight will have such a sword and personally engrave an inscription on his sword."

The children cheered and looked at the sword with their heads crowded together. They looked at the sword curiously. Obviously, they had never seen it, and now they began to look forward to having such a sword.

"What about armor? Can you only get it if you become a knight?" the child asked again, and Lancelot nodded affirmatively, "Only after becoming an angel of death can you get such a set of armor, which is a symbol of honor and recognition."

"But I have seen an angel! He doesn't have a sword, but he also has armor." His little friend said, Lancelot looked at him and nodded slightly, "Yes, the brothers who came with me, although they are not in the same battle group as me, they are also the glorious angels of the Emperor."

"No, it's another angel! I have seen him, but he has no sword, only a pair of claws on his gloves!" The child said enthusiastically, Lancelot was stunned for a moment and immediately squatted down, he looked at the child and said seriously.

"Where did you see him?"

Faced with Lancelot's question, the child was not afraid at all. He patted his chest proudly, "In the temple! Only the bravest people dare to go there!"

"Yes! The bravest people!" Another boy said excitedly, as if to prove it. Lancelot looked at them and frowned, "Temple? State Church Temple?"

"No, it's the underground temple. In front of it, there is a temple in the dark underground! There are angels there! Although he never talks to us, maybe he is asleep."

Lancelot was silent for a moment, he looked at the child again, "What kind of temple is that?" "It's different from other temples. There are iron, iron doors, iron walls and more things everywhere! We don't know what it is, and the adults don't know either."

Knight Caliban stood up, he drew his sword and put it back into the bridge and looked at the children under him, "Can you take us there?" "Is this a trial? The Emperor's."

The child asked excitedly, impatiently, and Lancelot smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes, I hope you are ready."

After the children agreed with enthusiasm and cheers, Lancelot walked to Vito by the lake. The Inquisitor opened his eyes and looked at Lancelot who was walking over. Lilith was still leaning in his arms with her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping.

Lancelot looked at the two of them, then cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to disturb you two, but the children told me that there is an underground temple nearby."

"I think it's an Imperial battleship, a strike battleship of the Space Marines, maybe it crashed on this planet, maybe we should go and have a look."

"Indeed, it's worth a look, maybe we can find a lot of things." Vito patted Lilith's head, she stood up and stretched her arms and knees, Vito also stood up and looked at the scout and laughed.

"Lead the team, Knight Lancelot, lead your team well."

"It's the Inquisitor." Lancelot complained and walked towards the children. They surrounded Lancelot and walked towards that place. Vito also followed after smiling at Lilith.

The knight and his scouts walked into the depths of the forest.
