The figure sat at the wooden table, and the gaze of the candlelight shone on Xia Zuo's face, making his solemn face richer. He thought quietly, but he didn't know what to think about in his chaotic mind. Countless doubts lingered in his consciousness, but he didn't know what to ask. Perhaps, even if he asked, no one would answer him.

Xia Zuo didn't know why he had so many doubts. Since experiencing Gao Wen's incident, Xia Zuo's thoughts have become much more mature. At least in other knights, Xia Zuo could not see such doubts. Perhaps it was because of his childhood situation, or because he learned magic, or perhaps there was no reason at all...

The candle gradually melted under the temperature of the flames, and Xia Zuo's figure was still sitting on the chair without leaving. In the disordered consciousness, Xia Zuo finally found a trace of source. Everything came from Gao Wen: even if he had learned magic in the past, he would never think about so many things. With Gao Wen's betrayal, because of the knight's duties, Xia Zuo drew his sword and pointed it at Gao Wen. This was also Xia Zuo's first choice: the choice of justice and responsibility.

For the first time, Xia Zuo chose to abide by his duties without hesitation. As the questioning knight said: As a knight, you should take the responsibility of eradicating the magician. At that time, Xia Zuo still believed that the duty of the knight was the so-called justice!

And just after experiencing the darkest period, the original boy began to grow and think during that period, but with thinking, he felt the more he was confused, as if he was trapped in the mud in the abyss. He wanted to struggle hard, but instead he fell deeper and deeper. Until now, Xia Zuo truly discovered: the so-called responsibility is not the justice recognized in his heart!

"Don't forget, you are a knight!" The warning of Knight Mander kept coming to his ears. Xia Zuo's face, which had originally frozen indifferent, suddenly struggled. His eyes were staring at the beating candlelight, but his vision was completely covered by darkness. He could not see any light or any hope. "Does he really have to betray the righteousness of the knight for his duty? If I betray my own righteousness, what is the difference between me and the puppet at that time?"

The candle burned out the last trace of energy, and finally, the entire space fell into darkness. The eyes that were originally flashing with light were gradually submerged in such darkness...

Now Xia Zuo seems to be walking on the edge of a cliff. As long as you take a wrong step, you may fall directly into the dark abyss. But what is right and what is wrong, Xia Zuo doesn’t know, or maybe there is no so-called right or wrong at all. Everything is just a choice!

But when facing such a choice, Xia Zuo lost his decisiveness in the past. In this way, Xia Zuo's consciousness continued to silence in the darkness, and the past scenes appeared in his mind...

Honey~~

The sound of friction sounded from the side. The cross sword leaning on the chair suddenly slid to the ground. With the inertia of power, the cross sword fell out of the scabbard. With the help of the glimmer of light in the fortress, Xia Zuo's eyes suddenly saw a cold light flashing on the cross sword. And just against the backdrop of the light, the originally dim gaze began to light up gradually, "If you don't have your own justice and only know how to fulfill your duties, then what's the difference between me and this cross sword? I won't

I am also controlled by others and killed and destroyed. I am a knight. I should have my own justice. Only in this way can I have enough courage and qualifications to hold the cross sword in my hand. Otherwise, I am just killing for the sake of killing. What qualifications do I have to hold the cross sword in my hand... And responsibility... Is the so-called responsibility that the magician is evil, the knight believes in justice, and then he wants to eradicate the magician? Ha... What shit gods? What shit knights? What shit evil..."

Xia Zuo cursed in his heart, cursing the world, and cursing himself. But in his angrily scolding, Xia Zuo couldn't help but want to laugh. The cross sword reflected in his eyes gradually lit up in the darkness. In the darkness, Xia Zuo's face was changing strangely, with sarcasm, sneer, indifference, and more angry...

The light gradually appeared on the fortress. Xia Zuo's figure opened the wooden door on time. The originally frozen face showed an unknown ease, because Lancaster did not treat Xia Zuo as a prisoner for the reason that Lancaster guaranteed. However, when Xia Zuo left the fortress and walked to the square of the castle, the knight was still guarding the city gate.

Xia Zuo didn't care too much about them, and began to maintain the position he had been in a long time ago. He had never practiced this position since Gao Wen left, but today, Xia Zuo reviewed it again.

With the sound of footsteps, the knights walked to the training ground one after another, but apart from the howling sound, there was no hustle and bustle of the past in the entire square. However, during training, the knights couldn't help but look at Xia Zuo. As knights of Bulu Castle, they had never seen Xia Zuo's training method. On such a morning, no one said anything more?

However, Xia Zuo did not notice the eyes of others. His body always maintained this position, breathing quietly in his mouth, and his body and mind were in a very quiet state. As quiet as this, Xia Zuo had forgotten it for a long time, which made him recall the figure who was squatting by the river for a long time...

The light gradually spread in the space, but Xia Zuo's body and mind were always quiet. Suddenly, the halo in front of him was blocked by his figure. Xia Zuo slowly opened his eyes, but Mande had already appeared in front of Xia Zuo with the knight, "How is it? Have you thought it through?"

"Walking along the coastline toward the depths of the ice field, I walked about three thousand miles like this..." Xia Zuo's tone was very calm, without the forced anger, nor the unwillingness arises after compromise. There was only a sense of calm, just like this morning that was not falling into the fort, with a sense of depression revealed in the calm.

Regarding the route, Xia Zuo said in detail. He described the scenery and routes along the way very clearly, but at the end there was a slight change: that is, the forest without snow was changed to an island without snow, and it also indicated that there was a very strange creature on the island. As for the mysterious mage, I hope God will protect you...

"You attacked me for no reason once, and I will compensate you the same way!"

Xia Zuo thought this in his mind, but there was still an inexplicable strangeness in his heart. Mande finally left, because from the tone or the route described, Xia Zuo didn't seem to be a lie, and after yesterday's incident, no one would believe that Xia Zuo would lie.

But what he didn't know was that when Xia Zuo really wanted to deceive others, his scam was even more skillful than ordinary liars. After all, in this aspect, he had been tempered since childhood.

"From now on, I will no longer be influenced by the so-called evil and justice of the outside world. I will only follow the justice of my heart!"

Looking at their backs leaving, Xia Zuo slowly closed his eyes. The boy who was originally deeply trapped in confusion, finally found the direction to move forward in the black species!
