Steel steam and flame

"That's right, he is the ultimate source of regret for making grandpa sad and feeling guilty about me." Grote said, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and time transition in his words. The man in front of Cassia has existed for several years longer than the empire.

"Although no one actually told me, as the power in my hands gradually increased, as well as the stage of surgery and the gradual improvement of my strength, I learned about dragons and how the Kingdom of Mano transformed into a holy one at that time. All the secrets of the Dolag Empire were gradually revealed in my eyes." The man took a long breath of relief before continuing, "At that time, I finally understood why my grandfather wanted to join the army against me. Inside, and was almost stubborn to that extent. Later, I learned from the documents in the empire that at that time, my grandfather was the custodian of a train station duty room in the Manoma area. So it is not difficult to think of it later. He must have seen the goods that the army transported back to Manoma for some reason. With his keen intuition and age experience, Grandpa may have had a premonition of the upcoming development and changes of the empire in the future, so he Keep going like that.”

"But he regretted it in the end." Cassia said in a calm tone at this time.

Grote nodded, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face, "Yes, he regretted it in the end. And just like what he said to me while lying on the hospital bed, that decision really changed everything around me. All related things were destroyed. Cleanly, without leaving any trace. And even that period of history was tampered with beyond recognition by the people who survived at that time. But more of the reasons are because of me, and my grandfather’s original relationship. The decision no longer mattered much. Not to mention the emergence of dragons and the determination and implementation of the five stages of surgery. The empire changed as if it had a new look every day. The structure of the empire also changed drastically at that time. changes, the royal family and the Holy Emperor of the Kingdom of Mano at that time also acquiesced to that pattern, because they did not expect that the changes brought about by dragons would be so drastic. Like ignited gunpowder, they began to release a large amount of energy in an instant Light and heat. They did not have time to prepare corresponding control measures. When they reacted, all the royal family of the Kingdom of Mano could do was to continuously consolidate their status and enhance their strength to prevent themselves from not being able to It was destroyed by such a wave."

"This is the history of that period, of course it refers to the history when I was alive." Grote showed a self-deprecating look, "Although he later became the first generation of knight kings in the empire, his final end was not the same. Okay. It’s not just the first generation. I heard that there will be a second generation later. The results are similar to mine, maybe better or worse than mine. At least after so many years, I still rely on my own bones to survive. And now I still have the strength to pull you into my spiritual world to talk. As for the second generation Knight King, I feel that his bones are beside me, but inside the bones, I can no longer detect them. His spiritual power has been lost. He may be completely dead. When the empire really dealt with him, the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance should also have intervened. So it is impossible for the crusade team to treat him the same way they treated me."

"Mr. Grote," Cassia said, but was immediately interrupted by Grote.

"Of course he is dead, and he has been dead for many years. The specific number of years should be written in the book." Grote said with a smile, "On this point, they are very honest and did not mess up the theological history books. What to write. As for the me you see now, I am just a ball of spiritual power that can be extinguished at any time. It may be more appropriate to say that it is a soul. You just need to understand me as a person who is not completely dead. I can do it now Things are very limited. Apart from pulling you into a deep sleep due to the special structure of my skull, the only thing left is to use the melody of prayer to influence and amplify a person's emotions and behavior in a short period of time. And there are many of these things. They are all limited, and the limitations are too great. If the level of your surgery is higher, you may be able to resist these effects. But if it is lower, you will be like those ordinary passengers, which will only increase their own sleep depth. Don't look at their condition like corpses, it has no harm to them. The reason why you feel a great loss of physical strength is like having a cold and a high fever. It is because there are too many resistance factors in the body, causing The reaction in the body is extremely strong, which consumes more energy.”

Cassia sorted out what had happened so far in her head, and suddenly found that the things seemed to match what Grote said. But did Grote deliberately pull himself into his spiritual world for any other purpose?

Grote did not see the confusion on Cassia's face, but as the first generation of Knight King, he could guess what he was thinking in his heart.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. Even if I did, I am not the slightest threat to you now. Pulling you into a dream can only consume your physical strength, but there is no possibility of killing you. Grote said, "Having said so much, I just want us to no longer doubt each other and trust each other. And there is no one else who can talk to me for such a long time, that little girl." My physical strength is not enough to support a conversation like this between us. So for me, who was good at talking before, after so many years, I just want to just talk. Otherwise, my mouth will have to be stiff."

Nodding, Cassia looked at Grote, waiting for his next words.

"It's not a big deal. Maybe now the empire will face another Red Star coming, or maybe after so many years, the third generation of Knight King will appear again." Grote's tone was very relaxed, "Don't think I'm here The dream seemed complete, and my skull seemed to be able to really see the actual scenery outside. That was just your illusion. I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't see anything out of my skull. I was a dead person, except I have nothing in this world. And except for the saint who is specially selected in each generation to guard and clean my remains, I can't talk to anyone. Of course, these things must be subject to a restriction, that is, in the church. in."

"Indeed, this time the Red Star and the coronation of the King of Knights come together." Cassia said, with Nuoer's small appearance appearing in his mind. Both generations of knight kings ended in tragedy, and he also wanted to know what was involved.

"That's really not a coincidence." A smile appeared on Grote's face, as if sarcastically, "It seems that the empire has to experience an unprecedented huge wave."
