Chapter 204: Chapter 21: Salted Fish Port (2) The sea breeze blew gently. Waves crashed against the rocks, and the cries of seagulls filled the distant cliffs. The dwarves lay sprawled all over the hall, while the sleepless Silver Moon Knights continued their guard duties with unwavering determination. The night at Salted Fish Port was so tranquil it was as if nothing had happened or ever would. Lying in the room assigned to her, Yilin found it hard to sleep. *She slowly sat up, hesitated for a long time, then lit a candle. Cloaking herself in her outer garment, she grasped the candlestick and pushed open the door to walk out.* She was greeted by a squad of Silver Moon Knights. Seeing their skeletal faces, Yilin was startled. But she quickly composed herself and exhaled slowly. *It had to be said, being human, it was quite terrifying to encounter a group of undead knights in a dark night.* The squad of Silver Moon Knights passed by Yilin, saluting respectfully before heading off to their next patrol location. Yilin nodded to them, then continued forward with the candlestick in hand. This castle was different from others; no massive torches were lit at night. After all, there were few actual humans in the entire castle. The undead had night vision, and even the dwarves possessed much better night vision than humans. As a result, the whole castle was shrouded in darkness. Blue moonlight, symbolizing peace, slanted through the windows onto the corridor, giving an indescribable eerie feeling. *Yilin cautiously walked, holding the candlestick.* In the distance, she saw a figure standing on the balcony of the corridor, gazing at the sea. It too had a skull, but with a handle ring atop its head. "Yilin, why aren’t you asleep yet?" Gray turned his face to the side. "You aren’t sleeping either, are you?" Yilin retorted, frowning. "The undead don’t need to sleep," Gray responded cheerfully. Yilin was momentarily stunned, then sighed helplessly, "Where’s Shelley?" "Shelley and Richie are already asleep." "Oh." ... At this moment, Shelley was indeed asleep. But Richie was not. He was in his room, flipping through a mountain of magic books. "Are you sure Heaven has already issued the order to crusade against my father?" "Yes," Delia nodded, "The order was just issued. The Angel Army is now assembling. They’re scattered across various dimensions, so it will take a bit of time." "What about Hell? How did Hell react?" Richie looked at Sarina. Sarina shook her head, "I haven’t received any orders." "Don’t you want to take this opportunity to do something big? Take down the Angel Army! This is a great chance!" "That’s impossible. The ceasefire agreement is still in effect. Besides, if we want to start a war, we just need to tear up the agreement; we don’t need any other reason." Richie was deflated, slumping down on the pile of books, "What should I do..." "Actually, you don’t need to worry too much," Delia said gently, "The crusade order only includes your father. It doesn’t involve you or your mother." "Do you think my mother will leave with me if my father refuses to go?" Richie glared menacingly at Delia, "If anything happens to my family, for whatever reason, I will avenge them against Heaven, against the Celestial Spirits! I will never stop!" Delia bit her lip, lowering her head in grievance. ... Standing quietly next to Gray, Yilin gazed at the sea bathed in blue moonlight in the distance, exhaling slowly, "It was here where we first met." "Actually, it wasn’t. We met in that small town, I still don’t know the town’s name. Remember? The town where we were hunting a lich." "Hmm... Ruolin Town? You were that lich." "Yes." "So, you were also the one who dug up Shelley’s family grave?" "Yes, that horse from the Gruglu family and Tenidas’ family hundreds of years ago is the same horse." Gray suddenly laughed. "My God, does Uncle Gluglu know about this?" "He doesn’t know yet, but Shelley does. She told me not to tell her grandfather, otherwise, he’d be furious. Or maybe even faint from shock." "You stole their family’s horse, dug up their ancestral grave, and even ran off with their granddaughter?" "Hahaha," Gray laughed, the soul fire in his eye sockets dancing joyfully, "Yes, but Shelley has forgiven me. She said I deceived her, but she forgave me." "This is the most romantic deception I’ve ever seen," Yilin said with a comforting smile, "I’m curious, why did you choose to pledge loyalty to me back then? My situation was so unfavorable." "Actually, I just wanted to pledge loyalty to a lord and get knighted to hide my identity as a lich. Back then, I didn’t know what faith was, nor did I understand what knighthood was. When swearing oaths, I learned for the first time that a knight had to make vows. I was very worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep them. When I first came to the surface, I knew nothing and only wanted to protect myself. Initially, I wanted to pledge loyalty to Caspar, but he refused me." "Looks like I should thank Caspar. If he hadn’t refused you, I would have surely lost. And you... but maybe it would have been good for you. That would be another story." Gray fell silent, standing still. The soul fire in his eye sockets flickered gently. After a long time, he spoke softly, "Yes, it would be another story. But in comparison, I still prefer this story. Because this story allowed me to meet you, meet Shelley, and have Richie... In this story, I could be a true knight, rather than just a lich in another story."
