Chapter 360 - 313 : Nameless Knigh (1/2)
As the two women sat facing each other, the Death Region ruler stared at the Water Empress and added:
”Keep what you know to yourself. The Great War is something even I am forbidden to talk about.”
The dark-haired woman got out as if she was done talking but when she was about to leave, the Empress nervously shouted
”I need to know what happened! I need to!”
The region ruler turned her head to glance at the tall blue-haired woman and retorted
”For what reason? Satisfaction or to quench curiosity? It's pointless to know and it's all for the better that everyone knows nothing about the past... it isn't something worth knowing or experiencing.”
The woman ignored the distressed look of the Empress and quietly left the room, leaving the Water Empress alone.
The lonesome Empress clenched her fists and left the palace with the guidance of the woman who received her at the entrance a while ago.
....
Inside the palace, in a shabby looking bedroom that had nothing special about it, there sat the dark-haired woman, who's also the death region ruler. She stared at the wall with an absent-minded look for a very long time until her subordinate entered the room and said
”Mistress, another guest has arrived.”
This snapped the ruler out of her daze, she looked at her somewhat uncomfortable subordinate in confusion and said:
”A guest? How did he find this place? Jack only guides one person per century.”
With a flustered expression and fidgeting body, the young-looking woman replied
”W-well... it's actually the k-knight.”
The Death Empress didn't seem too surprised when she heard that. She nodded her head and got up, following her subordinate to meet this unexpected guest.
Very soon, they found themselves in the same room the conversation with the Water Empress had taken place. However, this time, in the seat where the previous Empress was seating, there rested a dark figure.
From head to toe, he wore a dark armor which had a few white marks on it, probably due to the countless battles he fought. He had a young-looking face and a very pale skin, almost as if he's a corpse. Two jet-black pupils and long hair that was as black as ink. The man's movements were relaxed and flexible despite the full-armor set he was hearing. The only thing missing was the helmet, which was put on the table.
The most-eye catching this was his two-meter long dark sword which seemed ordinary if you exclude its unusual size. The sword neither emitted Sword Essence nor any kind of energy as if it was crafted by a normal blacksmith.
As the two pair of eyes met each other, the two parties merely gazed into each other's eyes. There was nothing but silence until the woman sat facing the woman and sipped some of the tea prepared by the unexpected guest.
Only when she fully savored the heavenly flavor of the tea did she finally talk
”I guess I should welcome you but I'm curious about one thing... from when are you?”
The man hadn't any change in expression. It only took a few seconds for him to reply with a bone-chilling voice
”Just a bit before the dead rises.”
The woman was momentarily startled before asking again
”And why would the Nameless Knight himself go to the trouble of traveling to the future to visit me?”
”I will bring you to the past with me. Your help is much needed.”
A frown appeared on her face as she retorted
