The Knight returned from afar, but she knew she could only stay for a short period of time.

The next day, Roland also came to see her. The silver knight patted the black knight on the shoulder silently, just like he was on the battlefield back then.

As for Sid, it took her a long time to accept Chu, a young girl who seemed to be the Black Knight of the past. She knew Chu's origin, and Hillman never concealed it from her.

And she finally realized her wish since childhood, and asked the Black Knight to teach her swordsmanship.

Of course, the result was that Chu did not show mercy, which made the girl very badly hit.

On the third day, I told Hillman that I was leaving. Hillman was not surprised, or that she had expected it.

In the evening, she took her first walk in the palace garden, and the Hillman flowers were still blooming in a beautiful and charming way.

In the garden, Hillman turned around, looking at Chu's eyes without focus, raised his hand and gently stroked the corner of her eyes.

"I will always be grateful for everything I have done for me, and forever thank you for the beauty that has brought to this country."

Thank you even for taking away all the evils of blood and fire before this beauty.

"But." Hillman took a step forward slowly, and she stood in front of Chu and pressed her forehead against Chu's forehead.

"I'm very sorry for asking you to take our sins away..."

You must endure the torture of the fiend for us.

She once felt the pain she had experienced through contracts, which was a pain she could not bear at all.

In the golden sunset, the two plates of flowers swayed in the wind, and Hillman finally expressed his apology.

But at first I could only listen silently and could not comfort me.

On the last day before Chu left, Sid found her and took her to her palace.

Sid ordered people to bring a lot of black stones, each of which was so special, with their own different carvings, which she collected in recent years.

She stood aside and asked Chu seriously if there was one of them that could summon you.

Chu shook her head, it was obvious that since she was here, the stone that summoned the messenger would not be able to appear.

Sid fell silent. She stood beside Chu, lowering her head, and after a while, she said.

"Why can't you stay? Mother must have hoped you stay. The same is true for teachers, including the people of this country. Why do you still have to leave? Are you not the knight of the empire?"

Chu could no longer speak, and even if she could, she could not answer. She just reached out and put her hand on Sid's shoulder.

Sid didn't look up, but just continued to question.

"Where is your chivalrous spirit, shouldn't you be loyal to death?"

Unfortunately, many things in the world are not that simple.

The Black Knight left, and on a quiet night, she would not come back, because she had returned what should have been returned.

She returned the glory that had been added to her, and she returned the oath that had been before that royal power.

Because the road after her was extremely dark and there was no glory at all.

······

It's the New Year again, and there is light snow floating in the mountain village at the foot of Cherry Blossom Mountain.

Crystal white snowflakes fell from the sky, falling on people's shoulders and cheeks with a little coldness. Whether it is adults or children, their faces are filled with smiles because the New Year is coming soon.

It was getting late and the night bell rang in the village.

Every evening, bells ring in the village, echoing and drifting to far and far places. Almost every child has been taught by adults in this way. When he hears the bell, he will go home no matter how far away.

Unfortunately, there will still be people leaving the village, and no matter how many times the bell rings, they will never come back.

But there is nothing we can do about this, right? There are always people who want to leave.

The bell was ringed by the only temple in the village. The temple is called Qingxin Temple. There is only one monk and one female monk in the temple.

She is a very beautiful woman. I heard that she wandered to this village when she was very young. No one knows why she wanted to be a monk and lived such a boring life every day.

However, whether life is boring or not depends on your own thoughts.

At least for this female monk, perhaps this kind of life is just right.

After ringing the bell for another day, Sakurako walked back to the temple in a wide monk's robe. She shaved her hair and after her revenge.

She has been working as a monk here alone for many years.

She locked the rust knife back into the Zen room and hung the word Zen on it.

She also began to understand that word, but like the old monk, she couldn't understand it thoroughly. But she didn't know whether it was not broken or whether it was impossible to let go.

The swallows in spring come every year, and the cherry trees in the yard bloom every year, and she is waiting here every year.

Waiting for one day, she might be able to wait for someone she knew would not come.

Sakurako opened the temple gate, and the monk's wide hem held the snow-covered ground, leaving a trace.

In the temple yard, there is a cash bin with a ring bell tied to it.

This is the prayer box that used to be, and has not been replaced in so many years.

After all, it was the New Year, and Sakurako also moved it out again. It was still the same as before, a copper coin, and once wished.

Most of the people in the village will come, and no one points out that the wish can really come true, that is, they just want to have a thought.

Looking at the empty temple, Sakurako stood there, snow was floating in the sky, she looked at the money box, the old trees, and the small courtyard, probably remembering something again.

After a while, she lowered her head, raised her palms in front of her, and whispered a Buddhist saying.

She thought that her practice should still not be enough, so she had distracting thoughts again.

Sakurako walked into the temple, made a cup of warm tea in front of the hall, sat cross-legged, drank quietly, and looked at the snow outside the hall.

It's been another year.

She raised her head, and the breath exhaled from her mouth condensed into a faint white mist in the air.

It should be when she was about to finish a pot of tea, someone came in outside the door.

It was a weird man, his whole body wrapped in a brown robe, and even his face was tightly wrapped.

However, Sakurako has seen many weird people, so there is no surprise.

"Are you here to pray?" Sakurako looked at the weird guy walking in, smiled faintly, and asked.

In front of the door, the weird guy was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.

Under the brown robe, she looked at Sakurako with her breathless eyes.

She didn't want Sakurako to recognize her because she didn't want to see Sakurako showing apologetic look at herself like Hillman.

She just came to return the things.

The weird guy walked into the yard and stood in front of the prayer box.

She remembered what happened a long time ago. She used evil to condense a coin in her hands and threw it into the box.

The coins condensed by evil jingled in the box, and the weird guy stood in front of the box, silently returned his wish, and then shook the bell.

The ringtone rang crisply, as if it had been transmitted into the sky with a wish.

"I wish your wish will come true." In front of the yard, Sakurako smiled and blessed.

The weirdo nodded silently.

"I may wish this year." Perhaps it was the strange silence that made Sakurako say more. She looked at the tea in her hand and whispered as if she was talking to herself.

“I hope my family will come back once.”

She has been waiting for a long time.

The weirdo's body stopped, and his godless eyes contracted slightly.

But in the end, she said nothing, did nothing, and just turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
