Chapter 32:

The Journey Still Continues

The Legend Of Black Knight


As soon as the fog was dispersed, everyone in the city ran in panic, those who were spared execution also ran when Satoru released them, it was a real terror scene, many ran over others, lost children cried, greedy men tried to run away with their possessions values ​​and ended up failing.

It didn't take long for the square to be empty, taking a deep breath, it all took too much of everyone's time, but Envy suddenly pulled Satoru's hand away and started looking at him with her eyes shining.

"Okay, I get it, Gileon cares to gather all the treasures he can, of course, a part is all of the dark elves."

"Hahaha, I would never ask for something like that, but since you offered it, I gladly accept it, no matter how much you've already done so much for us." Said the dark elf who smiled awkwardly and began to divide the elves into some groups, and released them, the city was a lawless place now, so if someone attacked them, they should react equally.

Looking at Beren, in the end, he had helped to the end, that was proof of how determined he was, even Satoru had doubted his nature, yet he was happy to know he was wrong.

"Well, a deal is a deal, come over here, Beren."

Surprised, the man looked at the black knight, his entire body trembled, determined he walked and stopped in front of the imposing figure.

Satoru then got the goo into Beren's ear and started messing with his mind, he had never put nightmares in anyone's head or whatever the Void did, but maybe he could alter the person's mind in a way that nothing more about the nightmares was left.

Compared to reading memories, deeply altering them was like a sedentary person winning a marathon, so difficult and complex it took Satoru nearly ten minutes, but he was done, not understanding how to explain it.

The easiest way to exemplify was to program a brain was the same as managing the programming of a computer capable of reading even the future, so complex and exaggerated, that was the human mind, however, Void could do this as if it were nothing, the true ability of a god beyond comprehension.

Closing his eyes, Beren suddenly felt his body light as never before, his fears seemed to disappear, not completely, but they sure as hell wouldn't bother him anytime soon.

Suddenly his eyes grew heavy, the stress of his body exploded, and he staggered a little, his body had realized the haunted mind relief, he wanted to rest at all costs, for he suddenly sat on the stairs closing the eyes and sleeping right there.

"Eh, he died?" Envy asked confused.

"No, let him rest, we have more to do." Satoru nodded and turned to see a dragon looking at him with a strange expression.

"Litchia, how are you?"

"Better now!"

Suddenly, the dragon's entire body glowed and a naked woman with gray hair jumped into Satoru's arms.

"HEY! HEY! HEY! What is it all of a sudden?” Baffled by the woman in his arms, Satoru instantly undid the helmet from his armor and his face was red.

"Hehehe, charging my payment, after all, I haven't spent any time with you until now."

Puffing out her cheeks, Litchia did her best to get Satoru's attention, who on the other hand was surprised by her strange call.

"Get the horse out of the rain, you perverted lizard!" Suddenly, Envy felt like throwing up when she saw this scene and started pulling Litchia.

After a lot of fighting, Litchia again ended up wearing clothes that Envy hurriedly grabbed from an abandoned house, not wanting to put on a dress, she ended up wearing pants and a shirt with a low neckline.

Satoru went after getting the bags of money that he had thrown out the window, and brought them back, after a lot of Envy complaining to him.

Of course, at this hour, the dark elves returned with countless bags of money and valuables, also bringing carts with food and drink. With that, the total treasure was divided into 40% for the dark elves and 60% for Envy who took the money at the time, Satoru himself had given up trying to give a lecture, he just accepted that he had no way to fight it.

One of the carts was given to Satoru, as Litchia refused to be used as a means of transport again, as she wanted to be glued to Satoru at all times.

At the end, when night fell, everyone stayed in an abandoned mansion, the city was still a mess in certain areas, but that didn't stop them, from building a fire in the residence's garden, drinking, and eating, everyone seemed to have fun.

What was not for less, the dark elves would finally have peace for a long time, and as they couldn't go back now they took the opportunity to celebrate earlier, since Beren, still tired, went to lie down in one of the rooms.

Satoru sat all the time eating and drinking, Litchia was fighting one hour over who drank more alcohol, the next she was taking an arm-wrestling match against everyone, the score was an absolute victory for her.

After things calmed down, the silence of the night filled the mansion while everyone slept, Satoru ended up staying in the master bedroom with Litchia who slept and snored, however, he stayed awake thinking, for the first time, how would he like to spend the rest of life.

Before he knew it, the sun had risen over the horizon, the cloudy sky had dissipated, and everyone was up early to prepare. They had to leave as soon as possible, after all the trip would be long, but there was something to be done.

Alone in the morning, Satoru, Envy, and Beren, it was all over, the kingdom had been practically destroyed, the capital would fall, Litchia had taken care of the other cities.

"What did you want to talk about?" Satoru asked who was looking at Beren.

"Before I leave, I wanted to apologize."

“Huh? Apologize, do you think this solves anything?" Envy suddenly stepped forward and faced Beren.

"I know not, but there's nothing I can do, please at least let me do it," Beren spoke and began to bow.

“As if we…”

“Envy enough, at least let him apologize, whether you'll forgive him or not is another story.” Satoru put a hand on the girl's shoulder and then looked around waiting for Beren to finish.

"I regret everything I did, so I'm sorry!" Saying this, he knelt on the floor and bowed his head.

Surprised, Satoru and Envy looked at each other, and awkwardly, they were a little disconcerted, neither of them forgave the man for what he had done, but at least they weren't going to insist on it anymore.

"Everyone is buried there, at least be brave and apologize to them." Envy said and turned away to leave with her brother.

And so the paths parted again, the future was uncertain for both sides, yet only what they could do each deal with their demons.

Not having much else to do, the caravan of dark elves left the capital, when the few people left saw the black knight driving one of the carts, they hid in fear.

If the message was passed, there was no way of knowing, but it was interesting to imagine the reaction of the other kingdoms, surely most would think this a lie, however, Satoru himself planned to change their minds.

Days later, everyone finally arrived in the forest that was once the city of the dark elves, the decision to move to the crater had been accepted by everyone when they understood it could be safer, thanks to the trolls subordinated to Litchia, who would share space with o the dark elves, also helping them to protect the mountains as a whole.

The amazing thing for everyone was that the trolls were friendlier than they appeared, they didn't like fighting unless they were very teased, being strangely smarter than most people thought.

Helping to move places, Satoru moved everything that seemed heavier, and thanks to his help, everything went much faster, of course, they would still have to build houses, but for a race that over the last decade has moved to various places, they were used to this process, even more, now that they had finally found their last stop, they could dedicate themselves to it, however, before that there was something very important to be done.

Still, in the old city, a wooden platform was mounted, on it were Alron and Frey, among them, Gileon who now wore a crown of gold and wood.

“All, brothers and sisters, gathered here, our race has long suffered from all kinds of ills, but we survive to this day, and as we lack a ruler, our next king was elected, who not only risked his own life to save us, as he also brought us the savior, with his vision of the future and courage, today we give him our lives, all hail, King Gileon Del Boreal.”

At the same time, everyone bowed and clapped, Envy then nudged her brother, drawing his attention.

"Did you help him choose the name?" Envy whispered.

"Yeah, why didn't you like it?"

"Sounds fun."

The question was answered by Litchia, who smiled, thinking it was funny.

“Please everyone, I don't deserve so much we should honor, the true heroes who saved us, without them our race would have met its premature end, so everyone applauds them, Satoru, the black knight, Envy the Goemon, and Litchia."

Satoru started walking but suddenly noticed something funny and with a smile looked at Envy.

"Which? I thought it would look cool, I like this story."

Not wanting to show it in front of Envy, both Satoru hid his laugh, as much as he wanted to laugh out loud.

When the three took the stage, everyone applauded and cheered, maybe no one liked them at first, but after everything they did they exchanged hate for respect.

"Satoru Seigi, Envy Seigi, and Litchia thank you so much for everything you've done for us!"

When Gileon said that, he bowed just like all the other dark elves, which made Envy feel awkward as she smiled happily, Satoru just smiled, although he wanted to stop all of this soon out of shame.

"HEY!"

Suddenly a scream interrupted everyone, Litchia was staring at Gileon.

"Aren't you forgetting my family name?"

Not knowing much what to do, the new king looked to Satoru looking for some way out of this situation, but he just shook his head without saying anything.

"Oh well, my bad, Litchia Seigi."

"Hmph!"

After getting what she wanted, she turned and walked back to the side of the other two.

"Apart from all these embellishments, we are eternally grateful to you."

"Okay, I get it, just a handshake is enough." Satoru reached out to Gileon, who hesitated but ended up taking the black knight's hand.

"I know it's kind of sudden, but it's time for me and Envy to go."

"Ha, this is sudden, but I understand, beware of your trip." Gileon nodded.

"The same for you, take good care of everyone."

"See you Gileon, next time I'll want the rest of the treasure!" Leaving the forest, the trio arrived in their cart, it had a map of the kingdom, it would be enough for now, for them to know the direction to other kingdoms.

"Hey big brother, is this pervert coming with us?" Envy lying on one of the money bags pointed at Litchia.

"For your information, little girl, it was your brother who invited me, however much I was going to come anyway."

"EH? She's kidding right big brother?"

"I think the trip will be a lot of fun." Satoru just smiled and made the horses start walking.

"You're kidding, I hate to travel!" Envy lay down complaining as the cart moved farther and farther away.

The end of this legend had yet to be written, but surely, the name of the black knight would travel through the ages as a symbol of power and respect.
