Roland and Tops went back to the dormitory together. After being busy for so many days, they had to take a shower and have a good sleep before going to the magic class of the Kalia royal family tomorrow. After entering the dormitory, he narrowed his eyes. It seems...someone has come in. Chapter 28 Miss Black Knife Does Not Want to Fight Seemingly nothing had changed, but the air was filled with a smell that didn't belong to him. Roland has no habit of using perfume, nor does he place any incense. This person even had the ability to mask his own scent, but the difference was too great. Thinking of what Tops had said before, Roland thought of another possibility: the black knife assassin, who was not well known to ordinary people, could also do those things. He was wearing soft armor with average protection. He did not touch the staff at his waist, but rushed to the corner of the room where the golden armor and long-handled axe were placed. At this moment, the air twisted slightly, and a woman in black armor appeared in the center of the room. She half-knelt in front of Roland and stroked her right breast with her left hand.
There were traces of sweat on her forehead beneath the veil. The oppression of Golden Godwin was too deep. Everyone knew that he had fought a draw with the ancient dragon and turned the enemy into a friend. Not to mention that she had no intention of taking action, even if she did, she probably wouldn't be able to win. Her voice was very low, the lazy and charming voice of an older sister. She lowered her head and her facial expression could not be seen clearly. "Your Highness Godwin, I'm sorry that I didn't salute you right away. I'm the guard sent by His Majesty to take care of your safety." It was indeed a black knife. Roland was very familiar with that armor. He had played it so many times in the game, not to mention that he often wore it himself. From the current perspective, his words of showing up on his own initiative instead of looking for opportunities to launch a sneak attack are still very true. He had long known that Marika had a connection with the Black Knife, as there was a Black Knife in front of the Queen's boudoir, but he still had some doubts. For example, if all the Black Blades were Marika's men, why did they want to assassinate Godwin? Judging from Godwin's death, Marika should have been very sad. There are even texts describing that the deaths of many golden nobles are not as great as Godwin's death. What's more, the Black Knife Head was sealed in Lani's hometown, and that place can only be reached from underground. If he had always obeyed Lani's orders, why would he seal the Black Knife Head into prison? Therefore, Black Knife does not necessarily follow his mother's orders completely, and there may be many Black Knifes. There are too many questions. Fortunately, there was someone who could answer her questions, but she couldn't ask too many questions. She was her mother Marika's spy. The thought lasted only a moment. Roland looked at Heidao and not only did he not relax his vigilance, but he also tightened his grip on the axe handle and asked her. "I have a few questions, could you please answer them for me?" "Your Highness, please speak." She was obedient. "I know a little bit about Black Knife. Black Knife are rare people, right?" Roland kept his body tense and ready to act at any time. "Yes." "My mother is also a rare person. You obey my mother's orders because we are of the same race and she can protect you. Am I right in understanding this?"
Roland made a guess: there was too little information about the Black Knife organization, really too little. Black Blade was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You can say that Queen Marika did grant us asylum, but we only provided a portion of the people to serve as Her Majesty the Queen's personal guards." "Huh, so you are an independent organization, but some of you follow my mother's orders, right?" He guessed part of it right, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "There are more people who do not obey the Golden Tree. Black Knife is independent of the Golden Tree's power." "You have no problem saying that. We should be considered independent of the Golden Tree. We are only willing to serve as Queen Marika's personal guard in order to repay her. Many people in the previous generation pledged allegiance to her, but there are very few in my generation." Black Knife's answer confirmed Roland's thoughts, "Most of the time, we are led by the leader of Black Knife and live in secret. She’s my mother, by the way.” "She is your mother?" Roland's expression became strange. The person in front of him was Sister Black Knife? Someone who has fought alongside him for a long time? He relaxed a little, sat on the sofa, looked at Heidao, and asked. "your name?" "Di Xi, Black Knife Di Xi." "Ah? Okay, I'll make a note of that." Roland nodded and asked, "Do I have the authority to command you?" "Theoretically, no." Di Xi shrugged, "But I will respect you. You are the son of Queen Marika and the famous Golden Godwin." "Thank you very much for your answer." The blond young man closed his eyes slightly. This was the chess piece his mother sent him to monitor him. After getting the answer from Sister Black Knife, he could almost come to a conclusion. The real planner of the Night of the Black Knife was definitely not Lani, but the Eternal Queen Marika. However, something went wrong here, and it was likely that Lani stole part of his destined death, causing him to not die properly. Marika was heartbroken and her plan failed, so she had no choice but to smash the ring. Roland felt that this order should be about right. Maybe Lani was also in Marika's plan, but something went wrong. He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that any speculation was possible, it was too difficult. Hidetaka Miyazaki, you deserve to die. Will you die if you tell the story clearly? Fragmented narrative is fun when playing games, but it makes you confused after traveling through time. In particular, he also traveled through time and space and became Golden Godwin, the dead prince in the game. Sister Black Knife looked at him in a daze and stood up long ago, trying to hide in the air.
"Wait, don't go." Roland stopped her, "How long have you been here?" "Four days? Or five days?" Di Xi thought for a moment, "What's wrong?" "I heard that food was stolen from the cafeteria." Roland looked at Sister Black Blade who had stood up. She was taller than ordinary people, about the same height as Lani now. Black Blade was a rare tall woman. He only said one sentence to let Di Xi understand his thoughts and replied. "Ah? It was indeed something I took. I gave it to Rune and placed it where the ingredients were." "Oh? The money really was swallowed?" Roland's expression was a little strange. "Forget it, just give me the money, but why did you steal the ingredients?" "The food in the magic academy cafeteria is terrible. I might as well cook it myself." Sister Black Knife was quite respectful, standing opposite Roland with an upright posture. The light in front of me was bright, and I could see her cheeks clearly. There was a kind of enchanting beauty about her. Beautiful indeed.
------------ PS Please note that the speculations about the Black Knife and the plot are all my own, and are not the clear plot of the original work of Elden Ring. For example, there is no clear copy about Marika and the Black Knife, and their relationship can be confirmed. There is only a Black Knife assassin at the door of the Queen's boudoir. This is my own plot, please don't treat it as the original work. Thank you everyone. Many subsequent plots are based on the original work of Laotou Huan, and I deduce my own story. I really want to discuss environmental science with you all, but I can't reply, which is very annoying. If I create a group, not many people will talk about it, and there is a possibility that some people deliberately disgust me, so I apologize here. Chapter 29: The portal begins to be established Sister Black Knife's words that the food in the cafeteria was terrible silenced Roland. It is indeed not very delicious, and can even be said to be bad. However, magic apprentices are people who do not have high demands on quality of life. In this situation, the food in the cafeteria is naturally unpalatable. Many magic apprentices would take advantage of their free time to run to the town at the south gate of the academy, buy some food, and then skip going to the cafeteria and go between the dormitory and the classroom. Roland nodded. "Why do you have to make it yourself? How about bringing me a portion?" "No, it's fine if you didn't come back, but now I have to stay with you everywhere." Sister Black Knife spread out her hands. "...stay with me all the time?" Roland felt a headache coming on. "Then I'll take a shower later, what about you?" "I'll wait for you outside the door. If you don't mind me watching, I can go to the bathroom." Di Xi looked at him. "No, I don't mind, but please don't go into the bathroom, please." Roland's attitude became casual. It seemed that Sister Black Knife had indeed not received any order to attack him. This was really a relief. He waved his hand, "It's not necessary. Well, relax, you can sit down. I am Roland here, not Godwin." "Oh! Thank you, Your Highness." Her eyes lit up, and she sat on the other side of the sofa, two seats away from Roland.
The way she sat was very strange. She sat on the armrest with her long legs hanging aside. The curve from her calf to thigh was incredibly beautiful. Among the many people Roland had ever met, Black Blade Dixi's legs could be said to be the most beautiful. The black armor was close-fitting, revealing her figure to the fullest. He pinched the bridge of his nose, "You are the only one here, and you still accept this mission? What are you going to do? Don't eat or take a shower? Don't sleep? There will always be a time when you can't take care of it, right?" "I'm just a guard. If you need anything, just call me. I'm usually invisible, so you can't see me." When Heidao Dixi said this, he couldn't help wondering in his heart. Almost no one could find them, but Roland felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the door. How did he find her? If she hadn't shown up on her own initiative, who could have withstood Godwin's axe? And his understanding of rare people, could it be that Queen Marika told him about it? It's really surprising. This Prince Godwin is full of mysteries. Just thinking about his identity, you will feel that all this is as it should be. She looked at Roland with interest, and happened to meet Roland's gaze as he was looking at her. This prince is still a man after all. She didn't want to take this task at first, but her mother insisted on letting her do it. Now things suddenly become interesting. Facing his gaze, she not only did not dodge, but also deliberately revealed her figure. Roland, on the other hand, only glanced at it and then retracted it. He had seen it too many times in the game and it was very familiar to him. Unexpectedly, the black knife that "guarded" him was actually the legendary veteran, who once killed a flying dragon alone for Roland in the first round. The two of them could be considered to have fought side by side. This is closer than any NPC! Black Knife Sister provided Roland with a lot of help in the first round. She and Big Brother used the replica tears the most, especially after Big Brother was weakened once, Black Knife Sister appeared on the field more frequently. But the problem is... She attended Black Knife Night. Roland rubbed his temples. No matter what, it should be safe for a short time. He just had to be cautious in his heart and remain unmoved on the surface. He raised one last question, "If you have to guard my safety alone, where will you sleep at night? This is not a golden tree, there is no place for you to live." "I'll just sleep on the sofa." Sister Heidao didn't care much about where she slept. "Okay." Roland took a deep breath, "Please use the bathroom. I don't mean anything else. I just want you to use it as you like. Except for my study, which you are not allowed to enter, everything else is at your disposal." "Ah? Thank you so much. The women's bathroom is quite far from here. If I run over there, I won't be able to protect Your Highness." Sister Black Knife's eyes lit up. "It's okay. Wear whatever clothes in the closet you can. No one else will use them anyway." Roland waved his hand, put down his axe, and began to take off his equipment, leaving only his staff. He grabbed a new set of clothes and headed for the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower, you guys are welcome." ------------ The royal city of Rodel, the queen's boudoir.
The air was filled with a light floral scent. A round table was placed in the center of the room. A set of tea sets decorated with golden patterns were placed on the table, as well as a three-layer snack grid. Eternal Queen Marika was clearly in a good mood, and although she didn't have an obvious smile, she was still having afternoon tea with her two daughters. She added a cup of flower tea to her daughter's glass and asked, "Marlenya, how is the spread of the scarlet corruption going? Has it stopped noticeably?" "Yes, it's almost stopped." The red-haired girl smiled faintly, showed her right hand to her mother, and took off the white lace glove. The skin underneath had been eaten away by scarlet corruption, revealing a sickly pattern.
