Chapter 62: Will We Meet Again?

Albion Island, temporary encampment.

This island, full of swamps and fog, is not very suitable as a target for the Chivalrous Expedition; it contains only a group of Marsh Demons abandoned by the Chaos Gods, whose capacity for evil is extremely limited.

Moreover, a long time ago, the mysterious Druid Order had placed some specious Matrices on this island, stripping the entire island away from the gaze of Chaos—though it is hard to say whether the Chaos Gods were simply too lazy to look at these useless things. But in any case, this island is unremarkable.

However, the Chivalrous Expedition Fleet has no choice but to conduct a temporary rest on this island; they need to spend time maintaining their ships and then wait for news from the vanguard fleet.

Yet, this is already the seventh day. The vanguard fleet has not sent any signal as agreed.

"My respectable vanguard general, Gede Knight, has most likely killed his wizard attendant and then fought a life-and-death battle with that Witch King of the Broken Lands. It is normal that no news has come through."

"Bu-but, my lord, if we do this, won't our expedition be somewhat dangerous..."

Wiping the sweat from his cheeks, Edward looked at the Gede Knight, who was naked and licking grapes in front of him, and said somewhat nervously:

"After all, we still very much need their combat power. If we rely solely on our own abilities to face that kind of powerful Witch King, it is very likely that some problems will arise. Especially in the situation where we were also ambushed by the sea Elves—"

"No, no, no, Mr. Edward. Do you think the joy of victory should be shared with others?"

Looking at the nervous-looking Edward in front of him, Joshua lay lazily on the bed, grinning to reveal a mysterious smile.

"The thrill of victory, the thrill of honor, these are things to be enjoyed by oneself. Sharing joy will not make the joy greater; it will only cause one's own honor to discolor. I really hate that kind of behavior. Besides, that wizard cannot possibly have paid no price to resist Gede Knight."

"I know better than anyone how troublesome that guy is; wanting to use Magic to fight him, one must be careful. Although he stripped away the Goddess's gaze, it is precisely because of his obsession that other things have gained protection."

"But well, just as you said, seven days have passed; he might already be dead."

Like a snake, his long, slender tongue licked his lips; Joshua chuckled and reached out to hook Edward's chin.

And within these short few days, Edward's appearance had also undergone an earth-shaking change.

The original Edward was a sturdy man with personal charisma.

However, ever since drinking that cup of wine and spending that strange night, Edward felt that his body seemed to have undergone some changes. His skin began to become fair, his body seemed to have a crystalline radiance faintly brewing within it, and his whole person became youthful and beautiful.

Yes, beautiful. In just over a week, Edward had turned into a face of a beauty who, at a casual glance, was even somewhat charming and delicate. Even his body had developed a hint of curves.

He had once felt some panic about this, but everyone told him that this was the blessing of the Lady of the Lake.

He had been recognized by the Lady of the Lake and was also being treated as a treasure, which was why he could obtain such a beautiful and powerful transformation. And Edward believed this explanation without hesitation; after all, the Knights he saw also indeed looked very elegant, and perhaps this was just a process.

But in Joshua's eyes, the player in front of him looked more like a cute jester. His naive words and sincere eyes every day always made Joshua feel supreme happiness.

This is really interesting, much more interesting than imagined.

However, this joy is also about to reach the point of satiety; it is time to obtain the greatest joy and pleasure.

That madman in the Broken Lands, that Witch King, that monster who stole what should have belonged to the territory of the Dark Gods by unknown means—only his tortured death can allow himself to obtain the greatest joy.

At the same time, it can also allow his supreme master to win the top prize in this game and be incomparably delighted. This world is just a game, why be so serious?

"I really hope that Gede Knight can live to see the day we bathe in glory... However, judging by his vitality, I think this is a high possibility. After all, that Witch King is a madman; he claims to love everyone, so let's see if he can save Gede Knight?"

Lazily stretching, the purple-haired and purple-eyed Joshua Knight walked toward the exquisite and luxurious fleet, and with his back to the camp full of men and women entangled and emitting lewd scents, he snapped his fingers.

"Assemble the whole army, Knights. We are now preparing to set off for the Broken Lands."

"It is time to let the gods witness our piety."

……

……

And almost at the same time, in the basement of the Ancient Saint Relic that would not be found by anyone, Li Ang looked at the tall figure in front of him, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

"Looks very good. The effect is great... Heh. In that case, the Shallows and the Landing Site can be left to you alone."

"This is what can be called my sharp blade! Hahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!! I can't wait to see what the people of the Chivalrous Expedition will say when they see you! Gede!"

'Path analysis progress three-quarters'

'Based on your current scientific research progress and Magic control, after you obtain the last Path, you will unlock Dangerous Technology, Emotional Materialization'

'Please note, this technology is a Dangerous Technology and may lead to unpredictable consequences!'

'You have obtained a special combat unit, the Pale Army.'

Strings of characters began to appear in Li Ang's consciousness, and countless ancient and bizarre knowledge flowed in his brain.

But he finally did it, this impossible miracle.

Although the price was also unimaginable.

Looking at the huge figure floating in the glass frame in front of him, Li Ang slowly closed his eyes.

"From the moment the living beings of this world left the ruins, they became travelers. They pinned their slim hopes on the future and stepped onto the directions pointed out by the four Paths. Now, three of them are manifested within your body, and only one fragment remains until the complete Path."

"Next, go hunt for your fragment, go capture that incomplete part, and bring my people back. Let the people of this world see this primordial choice! My warrior, my minion, my Gede Knight!"

"Hahahahahaha!!! I really look forward to the moment you meet each other!"

"……"

The huge individual in the glass frame seemed to be shaken by the laughter and slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light shone in his pupils, as if it were the fire of destruction that had been burning since the beginning of the world.
