Chapter 253 All the Ancestors Are Dead

Two days later.

The forest was foggy.

In the pale yellow fields, yellow weeds swayed in the wind, surrounded by clusters of short trees.

The yellow and black short trees were uneven, with a winding green road in the middle.

Helen held the hilt of the sword at her waist tightly, and walked out of the woods carefully in her green skirt.

Her skirt was covered with stains, and some places were stained with brown blood. There were two bulging black cloth bags hanging on her left waist and back, and her face was exhausted.

Woo...

A low sound similar to a dog's roar came from the mountains in the distance ahead.

Helen stopped nervously.

Then another long horn sounded, and Helen breathed a sigh of relief and let down her guard.

This was the signal for the end of the trial.

She tightened the cloth bag on her body and looked around.

With a big step, he climbed up a thick tree next to him with agility. He tapped his feet on the trunk a few times and stood on the top of the tree as easily as a cheetah.

After finding the gathering direction of the signal, Helen jumped down and her figure soon disappeared in the depths of the woods.

A mountaintop somewhere between Dawn Forest and Rainbow City.

The blue oval extinct volcanic lake at the foot of the mountain is like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of the trees on the mountainside.

A circle around the lake is a gray-white rock slope, which is full of steep and uneven rocks, and occasionally there are clusters of dark green spiky trees.

At noon, a group of people were quietly waiting on the platform on the top of the mountain. They were wearing leather armor or robes, with white bird logos on their chests, looking at the mountain road ahead.

The four knights who looked older were the leaders, and behind them were a dozen young knights, who were busy preparing to welcome the upcoming trial students.

"It should be almost time." The short-bearded man asked in a low voice. He turned his head to look at a beautiful young woman beside him, "Erin Frey, who do you think will be the first place this year? Della or Theo?"

Erin Frey wore pearl earrings on both ears and had a plump and round figure. She smiled and replied: "It's hard to say. In terms of hard power, it should be Theo, but the trial is not just about strength."

"Really..." The short-bearded man nodded.

"This year's first place... What a pity." Another strong knight showed a trace of regret on his face.

When the word "what a pity" came out, everyone was silent.

According to past practices, the top ten knights in the knight trial will receive the trial medal symbolizing honor, generous material rewards and the opportunity to become a disciple of the knight-level masters of each academy.

And this year is even more special.

The knight academies united to ask Pato, one of the two great knights of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance, for a promise.

He promised to pick one of the top ten in this trial as his student.

When this news came out, all the major academies were in an uproar.

Who is Pato? He is a powerful Sky Knight and one of the two guardians of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance. The students of this generation, including the four of them, grew up listening to Pato's stories.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of the citizens of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance, Sky Knight Pato is the emperor of the alliance.

If you become Pato's student, not to mention that you will get personal guidance from the Sky Knight, your social status will rise sharply.

Students have signed up for this trial, even the nobles who used to disdain it.

So the trial was moved to the Dawn Forest.

Unfortunately... Pato is dead.

In front of the public, under the gaze of many knights, under the sunset outside the Rainbow Light City, he was beheaded cleanly by Count Sauron of the Soros family of the Crescent Empire.

Of course, even if Pato is dead, the trial will continue.

But after knowing this news, everyone was in a trance and could no longer get excited about this trial.

The reason is that the death of Sky Knight, one of the two pillars of the White Phoenix City-State Alliance, will cause unrest in the alliance. Everyone is worried about the situation in the future and the possibility of war.

But what is more worrying is the attitude of Count Sauron.

Also, with the death of Pato, this trial has become ordinary, just a very ordinary trial.

"Two days have passed. Why don't you think the top leaders of the alliance have any reaction?" After a long silence, a pale young knight asked angrily.

"I heard that Sauron is still in Hongguang City." He added.

"Reaction? What reaction do you want, Natang?" Irene Frey asked back lightly.

"Should we bring people to arrest and judge Sauron? Or should we protest to the Crescent Empire?"

The short-bearded man looked at the sky in the direction of Hongguang City, sighed and said slowly:

"We shouldn't just pretend that nothing happened and let us continue the Knight Trial."

"The top leaders of the alliance should think about keeping things quiet and not angering Sauron, so as not to cause uncontrollable consequences."

"Our ancestors and guardians were killed, and these people don't want to take revenge, but want to be cowards, pretending that nothing happened. It's really shameful!"

Natang's face was bitter and humiliated.

"The ancestors are dead, who do you want to take revenge? Is it you, your grandson, or the old ancestor Gustavo?"

Erin Frey sneered and asked a soul-searching question.

Natang's face was gloomy, and the scene was silent again.

No one refuted that Lord Gustavo was old and didn't know how many years he would live. In terms of actual combat power, he was not necessarily stronger than Lord Pato, so he could not be Sauron's opponent.

"Do your own thing and don't worry about so much."

The man with short beard looked at the first student who loomed near the lake, turned around and walked towards the table at the back.

…………

Wow.

The bright golden sunlight from outside shone in, making Lu He slightly dazzling.

He narrowed his eyes and strode out of the laboratory, the door closing automatically behind him.

It was noon at this time, and gusts of hot wind blew in from the balcony, causing the green leaves on the potted plants to tremble.

Under the sun, the villa with black roof and white walls forms a hook shape. On the left side of the hook shape is a private heated swimming pool facing the lake, and on the right side is a wide lawn square.

This lake view villa belongs to Anise.

When Lu He asked her if she had a place to live, Anis gave him the villa as a thank you.

Come to the first floor.

The light yellow lighting crystal makes the entire living room hazy and warm, and several sofas are placed casually in a corner.

There are also several white bathrobes hanging on the wall, which Yue Ling should have prepared for him to swim.

Lu He put on his bathrobe on the spot and walked out of the hall.

The blue pool water ripples in the sun, reflecting tiny sparkles.

Taking off his bathrobe and lying on his back in the swimming pool, his body blended into the water, feeling the flow and relaxation. Lu He breathed out gently, feeling both physically and mentally relaxed.

At this time, a white light spot in the sky approached, and after a moment it landed on the stone tiles next to the swimming pool.

The visitor is Anise.

Her skin is white and smooth, and her long, shawl light blue hair is smooth and shiny, reflecting a dazzling luster. Her face is delicate, and her eyes are flowing, giving people a cold temperament.

Lu He did not stand up to greet her, he still lay on his back enjoying the massage of the water, but this time he was wearing swimming trunks.

"Zoron, do you have exhibitionism?" Anis frowned.

"Then do you have voyeurism?"

Lu He asked back, he was tired from doing experiments and how could he become exhibitionist after just swimming and relaxing in his swimming pool for a while.

Anis' lips twitched slightly.

She walked slowly to the edge of the swimming pool, slightly pulled up the two corners of her white dress, squatted down, stared at Lu He's naked chest at close range, and said with a hint of joking on her face:

"I'm not peeping, I'm watching openly."

Lu He chuckled, stood up from the swimming pool, and put on the bathrobe on the chair to cover his perfect body.

"What do you want from me?" Lu He was lying on the couch.

"The White Phoenix City-State Alliance couldn't see you, so they came to me and asked me to bring you a message."

Anis raised the corner of her mouth, walked to the stone bench on the other side and sat down with her legs together, sitting in a very elegant posture.

"They said they hope you won't pursue the matter regarding Pato. They will give you satisfactory compensation. They hope you can let go of the rest of the Pato family."

Lu He smiled and asked Anis: "Then do you think I should let it go?"

Anis was stunned for a moment, then her expression became serious, and after a while she slowly shook her head.

Lu He squinted and looked directly at the scorching sun above his head.

The light in his field of vision was no longer white, but a condensed beam composed of countless known or unknown energy particles such as light elements and fire elements. These particles slowly gathered on the surface of his body and were then absorbed into the body bit by bit. in vivo.

Anis looked at him and knew that he already had the answer in his heart. (End of chapter)
