I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 331 Dark Knight, Heart of Light

"Savage, why don't they put black stone handcuffs on you?" Although everyone knew that the savage in front of them was Pope Genoson, Alpha was still used to calling him a savage. After all, the other party was extremely resistant to the name "Genoson".

"Because there is no light energy in my body anymore, they originally wanted to shape me into the Dark Knight, but I chose to dissipate the energy directly. In this way, they felt there was no need to put handcuffs on me." The savage answered simply and concisely. In order to avoid becoming the Dark Knight, he was even willing to give up all his cultivation.

"Then why are you still alive?" Alpha was surprised at the savage's determination. However, he was more curious about how the savage had survived for nearly two hundred years. After all, without the protection of fighting spirit, it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive.

"Because we, the descendants of King Arthur, have special blood to protect us, even if we don't have fighting spirit to protect us, it will not affect our lives." The savage explained while training the three Alphas.

"Savage, do you really eat human flesh?" Alpha asked cautiously in a low voice.

"That's just your idea. I don't eat human flesh, I only eat rat meat." As soon as the savage finished speaking, there was a noise outside the cell. The savage instantly became alert and swiftly hid in the corner.

The dark creatures didn't seem to notice the savage in the corner, and they took Alpha and the other two away. The savage silently looked at the bottle of fighting spirit potion left by Alpha, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

The savages knew that Alpha had not given up, but it was not easy to escape from here. After all, they were like newborn calves. Although they were brave, they lacked awareness of danger.

"Lord Alpha, I can't hold on any longer. They actually poured the Black Stone Potion directly into my body. I can't control my light fighting spirit any more. I can't become a puppet of darkness." Strong's eyes were red, and he was the first to give up. Strong could withstand torture, but he couldn't watch himself become the Dark Knight. This was a serious blow to his beliefs.

"Hold on, give me a week, we can't give up now." Alpha put his arm on Strong's shoulder and encouraged loudly. Now they have been tortured by the enemy for three days, Alpha knows that time is not up and must persist.

"Lord Alpha, I will not give up any torture, but if you continue like this, I will become the Dark Knight, which is the most naked betrayal of the light." Strong is a true Knight of Light, unlike Alpha and Gilliana, who both debuted halfway and could betray everything in order to survive and for power.

"I will absorb your dark energy into my body. As long as you hold on for a week, I will be able to carry out the next stage of the mission. No matter what I do, you must believe me." Alpha actually absorbed the dark energy in Strong and Gilliana's bodies while wearing black stone handcuffs, which surprised the two of them and made them full of hope for Alpha.

Strong took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He understood that Alpha's intention was for a greater goal, but he still found it difficult to accept this change. However, he also knew that he had no way out and could only choose to trust Alpha.

Gilliana stood aside silently, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She knew that Alpha's plan might bring great risks, but she also understood that this was the only way out. She decided to support Alpha's decision, even though she was full of uneasiness in her heart.

Alpha looked at Strong and Gilliana firmly. He knew what his choice meant. He would take all the consequences and responsibilities just to complete that important mission. He believed that as long as he persisted, everything would get better.

"Little Knight, can you tell me your plan?" Facing the Alpha who has the pure blood of his family, the wild man Genoson was full of curiosity. His eyes flashed with a desire for the unknown and respect for wisdom, as if he saw some kind of power or knowledge beyond ordinary people in Alpha.

The savage Genoson knew that Alpha was not a reckless person, but he really couldn't think of any way to slip away from the enemy's eyes. As long as they defended the core area of ​​the teleportation array, no one could escape to the outside world.

This land, which is closely monitored by the enemy, seems to have become an inescapable cage, and any attempt to escape will end in failure. However, the wild man Genoson still holds on to a glimmer of hope, expecting Alpha to give a surprising answer.

"I can only tell you that I want to be the Dark Knight. I won't disclose any other information." It's not that Alpha doesn't believe them, but that Alpha believes that the enemy has the ability to dig out everything they know.

This sentence is like an icy barrier, separating Alpha from the others and protecting their safety. Alpha knows that in this dangerous world, some secrets cannot be shared easily.

Because of his identity as a time traveler, Alpha has two souls that can be switched at will, allowing him to restrain the soul search ability of the locals, but neither Gilliana nor Strong has this ability. This unique ability gives Alpha more choices and possibilities when facing the enemy, and this is also one of the keys to his survival in this land.

"Lord Alpha, how can you surrender to the darkness? We are the Knights of Light, and we must never compromise with the darkness." Strong immediately opposed Alpha's proposal. His voice was firm and powerful, full of persistence in the belief in light and rejection of the forces of darkness. However, Strong's words did not shake Alpha's determination, but made him more determined in his choice.

"Knight Strong, you must know that those who yearn for light are never the energy of light. Even a knight with the purest fighting spirit of light can become a lackey of darkness. Similarly, even if a person with the darkest power yearns for light, they may become a believer of the God of Light." Alpha's explanation can be said to be extremely treasonous. The original wild man Genoson has experienced so much and has become open-minded. His words reveal a profound philosophy that forces people to re-examine their understanding of light and darkness.

"In fact, the real light and darkness are in our hearts, not in the power we possess." Alpha's explanation made Knight Strong feel full of contradictions. He didn't know whether what Alpha said was true, and he didn't know who he should listen to. This sentence was like a key that opened the door of doubt in Strong's heart, making him start to think about whether the belief he had always adhered to was correct.

"Is everything the Holy See says false?" Strong was silent and conflicted, his faith was collapsing. This question exploded in his heart like a bombshell, leaving him deeply confused and lost. The Holy See, which he once believed in, had become so vague that he could no longer blindly follow it.

"No, the Church of Light is not wrong. It's the people who are wrong, the people who explain them." Alpha knew that the Church of Light in this world had its own significance and was the spiritual sustenance of the masses, but this belief was slowly declining. His words were full of helplessness about reality and worries about the future, but he still firmly believed that as long as there was hope in people's hearts, they would be able to find a way forward.

"Who?" Suddenly, the Savage Jenson interrupted Alpha's struggle for light and faith, because it seemed that someone was eavesdropping outside. He looked around vigilantly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"It's you? Our Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria." Facing the sudden appearance of the Dark Knight, the wild man Genoson's eyes were full of contradictions. It was the betrayal of him, the leader of his Holy Discipline Knights, that led to his failure and capture, but it was also the other party's care that allowed Genoson to survive until now. He felt mixed emotions, anger at the betrayal in the past, and gratitude for the life-saving grace.

"Lord Jenossen, I know you will never forgive me for what I did, but I did not betray you. I destroyed the Fountain of Light because Edward wanted to steal its energy. I could not protect it, so I had to break it and use its power to resist the invasion of darkness." Luciferia's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that this past was also a painful memory for him. Of course, breaking the Fountain of Light was only a one-time defense, and later, without the support of light, Jenossen's Knights retreated step by step.

"Then why did you become the Dark Knight?" The Savage Genoson understood the reason for the Fountain of Light, but that didn't mean he could become the Dark Knight. His eyes revealed deep doubts and confusion.

"If I don't transform into the Dark Knight, all of our captured knights will be executed, as well as you, Lord Jenossen. I can't watch you die, so I can only accept the dark transformation." The Dark Knight Luciferia's transformation also had a reason. His voice was low and firm, as if he was telling of a helpless choice.

"Then why did you attack Lord Arthur? And what about the matter of Alman City?" Strong was not satisfied with the other party's explanation. His tone was full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

"If I don't agree, they will send other dark knights, which is impossible to control. I have never thought of really killing Arthur and his men." Luciferia was right. The other party had an overwhelming advantage many times, but they didn't kill him. His words revealed a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

"Then why are you explaining it to me now?" Jenossen also knew his leader's difficulties. His eyes were full of complex emotions, trust in the past and confusion about the future.

"Because I am a dark knight, I am afraid that you will not accept me as I am now, so I was deeply moved when I heard that Alpha Knight was willing to become a dark knight in order to protect me." It can be said that Luciferia's choice is almost the same as Alpha's. His voice is full of sincerity and expectation, hoping to be understood and accepted.

Everyone was silent, not knowing whether to believe each other's explanation. There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, and everyone was thinking about their own position and choice.

However, Alpha saw the sincerity in the other person's eyes and chose to believe him. His decision seemed to break the deadlock and bring a glimmer of hope for the future.

"Knight Luciferia, how can I see Lady Athena?" Alpha's heart was filled with desire and determination. He looked at Luciferia firmly, as if seeking a path to hope. For Alpha, saving Athena was his only goal now.

Lucifaria was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Athena is now under strict surveillance, and even I cannot meet Athena alone. If you want to see Athena, you must become the Dark Knight, but you can only see her from a distance, and cannot get close to her." There was a hint of helplessness and heaviness in his voice, as if reminding Alpha that this road is full of dangers and uncertainties.

However, Alpha had made up his mind, and there was a firm light in his eyes: "I will transform into the Dark Knight, and I hope you will take me to see Lady Athena, and I will take her out of the dark space." His words were full of determination and courage, as if he was ready to face all difficulties.

Luciferia looked at his old boss, the Savage Genoson, and he didn't know whether he should let Alpha do what he wanted. Such behavior was a suicide mission. He knew that once Alpha really became the Dark Knight, he would face huge risks and challenges. However, he also understood that Alpha's determination could not be shaken. This was his deep belief and pursuit.

At this moment, Luciferia felt that he was caught in a dilemma. He wanted to protect Alpha from harm, but he didn't want to go against his will. He knew it was a difficult choice, but he also believed that only through such a test could one truly witness a person's courage and determination.

"Alpha Knight, you are aware that the success rate of transforming light into darkness is not high. It is at most 10% chance, which is a life-and-death situation. Once you start the transformation, it is an irreversible process." There was a hint of heaviness and worry in Genoson's voice. His eyes were fixed on Alpha, as if looking for any sign of hesitation or retreat.

After getting Jenossen's nod, Lucifaria's expression became more serious. She slowly turned around, looked at Alpha with a sharp gaze, and said firmly and forcefully: "I believe you can succeed, and I must succeed too."

Alpha felt the trust and support from Luciferia, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at everyone present and absent: Gilliana, Strong, Athena... and the thousands of people who believed in him. Their eyes were full of expectations and hope, which made Alpha more determined. He knew that he was not only fighting for his own survival, but also for the future of the entire tribe.

"Okay, I believe you, Alpha Knight." Lucifaria spoke again, with a little more appreciation and encouragement in her voice, "I will arrange all the necessary preparations to ensure that the ceremony can go on smoothly in three days."

Hearing this, Alpha nodded, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the days ahead would be full of challenges and unknowns, but he also knew that as long as he had faith in his heart, nothing would be impossible to overcome.
