I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 411: A drop of water can only stay dry if it exists in the ocean

"Human, you are burdened with such heavy sins and your hands are stained with blood. Who exactly are you?" The Elf King looked at Alpha, who was tied up in the hall, with sharp eyes and shouted loudly.

"Elf, your forehead is black. I guess there is a difficult problem bothering you?" When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Alpha knows this truth very well.

"People like you who are full of murderous aura will definitely bring blood and rain to the world. Do you think I should kill you, a person with heavy karma, and reduce some killing in this world?" The Elf King seemed to be thinking about something.

The Elf King could see the deadly karma wrapped around Alpha. The rich red, even purple, color showed how many lives he had taken. However, Alpha was also surrounded by light. The light of hope fought against the karma, making it unaffected.

"Elf, you have as much karma as I do. Why don't you understand yourself?" Alpha doesn't believe in fate. Even if fate lets him die, he will fight against it.

"All the killings I have done were for the sake of protection. I have a clear conscience." The Elf King retorted loudly. Back then, the Elf King led his people to kill all the way here, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.

"Those are the people who deserve to be killed. I have no complaints." Alpha firmly believed that what he did was just.

"You have no say on who deserves to be killed. Don't make excuses for the mistakes you made." The Elf King didn't buy Alpha's words.

"You have been involved in killing in order to protect a group of people. Do you now think that this is God's punishment for you?" Alpha did not answer, but directly refuted.

"Moreover, I am following the will of heaven. I have no regrets." Alpha retorted directly without waiting for the Elf King to answer.

Alpha is only fighting to protect his beliefs. In this era, the boundary between good and evil has become blurred, and only strength is the key to everything. If Alpha fails, he may be regarded as the evil party.

"Do you think we elves can survive? Can we elves stand on top of the continent again?" The Elf King was still immersed in his memories, recalling the glorious deeds before the massacre hundreds of years ago. However, time cannot be reversed, and the past is past.

"Do you know why we humans can defeat all races?" Alpha remained silent. He knew very well that even if the answer was obvious, it would not be appropriate to say it directly, so as not to anger the other party and end up losing more than the gain.

“Why?” The Elf King was puzzled as to why humans could defeat dragons, orcs, and even their own elves, bringing all the top races to the brink of extinction.

"Some people say that it is because we humans have the ability to learn and pass on knowledge. We record all our abilities so that future generations can stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue to learn and progress. But in my opinion, it is tolerance. We humans are able to tolerate any race and any power, so we can continue to grow and become stronger." Alpha glorified humans' predatory behavior in a high-sounding way.

The so-called tolerance is nothing more than using elves and orcs as tools to vent desires and treating them as slaves. However, as time went on, humans gradually merged with elves and orcs, reproduced, and became indistinguishable from each other, forming a new human race. This new human race is still called human, but it is no longer the original human race.

"Tolerance?" The Elf King seemed confused by Alpha's words and began to think about the accuracy of this sentence.

"Do you think our elven race can continue?" The Elf King brought the question back to the starting point.

"The elves are now at a critical juncture of life and death, and the survival of the race is facing huge challenges. You are like a drop of water, even if you do nothing, you may evaporate and disappear." Alpha didn't know that only the green elves were facing a crisis of racial survival, and there were other elves living in unknown places.

"Where should I put a drop of water so that it won't dry up?" The Elf King fell into deep thought.

"If they are placed anywhere, they may disappear. The best way is to merge them into the ocean, and humans are that ocean. Only by integrating into humans can the elves be completely preserved." Alpha knew this example very well, and he deliberately said it so firmly.

“A drop of water will not dry up unless it merges into the sea, and elves can only survive and continue completely if they merge into humans.” The Elf King understood this deeply. He never thought that he would be enlightened by a human.

"Humans, elves, orcs, and dragons should not be in a relationship of mutual resistance. We should cooperate and develop so that we can make progress together." Alpha's words seemed to carry a divine power, and a holy light seemed to emanate from behind him.

"Mother, all the elves of our generation are here." At this time, Evelyn came over with all the elves of the new generation.

These new generation elves had never experienced the battle for the survival of their race. All their memories were inherited from their elders, and their hatred for humans was not as strong as that of the previous generation.

However, the number of elves in this generation is very small, only ten, plus Evelyn and Maven, there are only twelve. This is also a problem that the Elf King is worried about. Their race is on the verge of extinction. Even without this disaster, it is as insignificant as a drop of water.

"Human, I hope you can help us." Suddenly, the Elf King turned his eyes to Alpha.

"My Lord Elf King, they are humans and our enemies. How can you ask them for help?" Almost all the elves turned their eyes to the Elf King. Only Evelyn and another elf did not blame him, while Maven was still at a loss.

"Quiet! Today, the elves are at the brink of life and death. Back then, it was humans who pushed us into such a desperate situation, but it was also humans who helped us rebuild our homeland.

Humans have good and bad sides, good and evil sides, and this is inevitable for any race. Humans can tolerate everything, and so can we elves. We elves can only survive if we integrate into human society.

Now, I order you to follow them and leave here to create an era of new elves. Human, are you willing to help us?" The Elf King looked at Alpha and released a huge mental pressure.

"I don't want to." Alpha straightened his back, bearing the huge pressure like a mountain, and looked at the other party with a firm look. His calmness surprised the Elf King. You know, the pressure released by the Elf King may not be able to be borne even by the Golden Knight, let alone a knight like Alpha who has just been promoted to Bronze.

"I am not a saint and cannot give you the help you need. However, we can support each other. I long to create an era of peaceful coexistence of multiple ethnic groups. However, I will never tolerate a race that destroys national unity.

If they are willing to integrate into human society, I will wholeheartedly welcome them. I can only promise that if you always follow me and assist me, I will always support you and will never abandon you. "Alpha will not take on the responsibility of leading this group of problem children just because of the words of the Elf King.

If they are willing to follow him, the Alpha will take good care of them, but if they rebel, run away or betray him, the Alpha will not waste his time on them.

"Human, I believe in you. The future of our green elves is entrusted to you." The Elf King looked at Evelyn, untied the ropes for Alpha and his group, and then pulled Evelyn towards the Elf Treasure House.

"This is our Elf Treasure House. Each of you can choose one treasure to take away, and then you can leave the Elf Forest. I will buy time for you." The Elf King has decided to stay.

"Mother, if you don't leave, we won't leave either." Evelyn's face was full of determination.

"Go! This is an order." However, the Elf King then said, "As long as you leave, we will have no worries. The farther you go, the more we can deal with it with all our strength. When you are safe, we will also leave here and look for other elven lands." The Elf King comforted Evelyn.

In that mysterious and ancient world, the elves were once a prosperous existence. However, now they are facing the crisis of extinction. At this critical moment, the Elf King made a difficult decision.

"Remember, your future is up to you. Don't be bound by any rules. Let go of the rules and you will discover a brand new world." The Elf King said softly, and then pushed Evelyn into the Elf Treasury.

Alpha asked curiously, "Lord Elf King, can we only choose one piece of equipment?" Alpha thought to himself that since the elves were about to perish, then of course everything in the treasury should be taken away, which might increase their hope of survival.

The Elf King smiled mysteriously and replied, "You can choose anything you like and take anything you want. However, you can only take one thing out."

The Elf King knew very well that one more artifact would bring more hope to these humans. Even if she did not give them to these humans, she would pass these artifacts to her children without reservation.

"These artifacts are all spiritual, and they will recognize their masters. Your souls can only bear the power of one artifact." The Elf King seemed to have seen through Alpha's thoughts, "And you, as a member of the Church, you will definitely choose that weapon. This is your reward."

Alpha nodded, but he didn't understand what the Elf King meant. Alpha finally promised the Elf King that if these people were willing to stay with him, he would do his best to protect them. But if they chose to leave, he would not forcibly stop them. Then, Alpha resolutely stepped into the Elf Treasury.

The moment he stepped into the treasury, Alpha was attracted by the wonders in front of him, and a strong desire surged in his heart. Countless artifacts exuded dazzling light, and each one contained endless power, as if calling to him. He longed to possess these artifacts and conquer the whole world.

However, Alpha knew that his soul could only bear the power of one artifact. He wandered in the treasure house, carefully examining each weapon and equipment. There were all kinds of weapons here, including sharp swords, sturdy armor, mysterious magic tools, and some items he had never seen before.

"Lord Alpha, what should I choose?" Fanxing grabbed Alpha's arm tightly and asked worriedly.

"Do what you want and feel it with your heart." Alpha did not force anyone to make a choice. Everything depended on their own chance.

Alpha himself was once dazzled by the brilliance of these artifacts. If these weapons could really allow the elves to dominate the continent, then they would have become the masters of the continent long ago.

Alpha knows that weapons are always auxiliary and human ability is the key.

Alpha followed his inner feelings and walked towards a red spear. The spear seemed to have a special attraction, stimulating his inner restlessness. This was the object of his other soul's desire, and it was also the ultimate dream of every disciplined knight.

Alpha chose the red spear, which was called the Blood Spear by the outside world and the spear of killing, but in the eyes of the Holy See, it was the artifact, the Spear of the Seraph. The third Pope used this weapon to kill the dark age to the light, but it disappeared later. It has the ability to pierce everything and absorb the enemy's energy to replenish itself. This is the picture in Alpha's memory. As for other abilities, Alpha has no idea.

When Alpha's blood dripped onto the Seraph's Spear, the spear instantly merged into his blood. As long as he had a thought, the spear would appear in his hand at any time, which was very convenient.

As Alpha absorbed the spear, an ancient ring fell from the spear. Alpha picked it up, but he didn't notice that his finger was still dripping with blood. A drop of blood fell on it, and the ring automatically recognized its owner.

However, this time Alpha had no memory and no ability. When Alpha took off his gloves, he was surprised to find that the ring was on his broken little finger.

Alpha was very curious, because according to the rules, he could only take one. He tried to choose other items again, but nothing happened. Alpha could only attribute this to the fact that he had two souls, so he could choose two. As for the other ring, he didn't know why, so he didn't care too much. After all, two is better than one.

"Lord Alpha, I want this." Fanxing picked out a pair of white gloves, but she was not sure whether she should choose it, so she asked Alpha.

"If you want it, just choose it." Alpha had no objection. After all, these weapons and equipment were chosen by people, and it was also the weapons and equipment that chose them.

"What abilities do you have? Fanxing." Alpha pulled Fanxing to the periphery.

"Time can go back and fast forward. As long as I touch something, I can make its time go back to the past or the future. The length of time depends on my internal strength." Fanxing explained.

"This is a very powerful ability. Use it well and you will become a powerful person." Alpha encouraged.

"No, I don't want to be a powerful person. Fanxing is just Alpha's little maid, and I will always be by his side." Fanxing knew that Alpha would arrange for useful people to do what they should do. Once she became that kind of person, it would be time for her to leave Alpha.

"Okay, okay, you will always be my little maid." After getting Alpha's assurance, Fanxing stopped taking off her gloves and accepted her abilities with peace of mind.

"Okay, be my personal doctor from now on, and don't tell anyone else." Alpha knew that if this ability was used properly, it could be used to bring the dead back to life or kill people without them even noticing. After all, humans disappear at both ends of time.

"Lord Alpha, we have all made our choice." At this time, Monkey and others also came back. Looking at everyone's expressions, it was obvious that they had gained a lot.

"Master Alpha, we tried to choose multiple ones but failed. We also wanted to take it away directly, but we couldn't lift it at all." The monkey walked over to Alpha and explained.

"Okay, I understand." Alpha knew that this was the limitation and didn't take it too seriously.
