The air suddenly became quiet.

Karun let go of his hand and fell to the ground, gasping heavily. However, his eyes were still fixed on the captain.

The captain reached back with both hands, but because Karun's sword had stabbed him in the back, and the sword was long enough, the captain couldn't reach the handle of the sword behind him.

This action looked somewhat ridiculous. The captain could only look at Karun, but Karun remained indifferent.

Helpless, the captain could only grab the sword blade in front of him with both hands and slowly push the sword that had pierced his body backwards.

When he pushed it almost all the way, the captain stood up, leaning forward, and finally, the sword came out of his body and fell to the ground.

Then, the captain leaned against a large stone nearby, gesturing to the location of the sword wound on his chest, and said:

"Heh, right in the heart. You really wanted to kill me."

The captain reached out and tore open the wound on his chest, inserting his hand inside. Immediately, there was a sound of "stirring and pulling" from inside, a sound that would definitely make most mentally normal people feel uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, I moved my heart beforehand. It's too troublesome to restore it in this place."

After resetting the internal organs, the captain took his hand out of his chest, looking at his bloody hands, as if he wanted to lick them back in accordance with the principle of not wasting.

But in order to take care of the feelings of the person next to him, he could only casually shake his hand in front of him.

Karun asked, "Captain, when did you wake up?"

"Just now. The battle with you two consumed a lot of my strength, which made 'him' unable to continue controlling me and had to go dormant, and I woke up.

Well, fortunately, I woke up just in time. If it was a little later, you would have been burned to death. It was really dangerous."

"I don't believe that everything happens at the right time. These are the words you said to me."

"Alright, I woke up when I defeated Ophelia."

"Still don't believe it."

"I woke up when Ophelia saluted me with a sword. But I thought I would play with her a bit, after all, I had heard that Dark Moon Island produces top-notch warriors, especially excellent swordsmen, so I thought I might as well have a sword fight with her."

"Don't believe it."

Neo turned his head and looked at Karun, saying:

"Do you think I was pretending? No, I was really lost. When you two just walked out of the cave, and I shouted 'Elisa, you have left me forever,' I was indeed lost.

But when I shouted 'Jennifer, you have left me forever,' I woke up.

Hahaha, the only woman in my heart is Elisa. How could I shout another woman's name with deep affection? 'He' did it, and I was disgusted, so I woke up."

"So, you were awake when you were about to make a move."

"Yes, you can say that."

"Why?"

"Since I'm here, I have to leave something behind, right?"

"Leave something behind?"

"As I said, I don't like leaving empty-handed. I originally had a premonition that there would be something extremely important here, but damn it, there really is something important, but it's an extremely important memory!

What do I want it for? Just to satisfy my curiosity, to experience it firsthand when reading a character's autobiography?

I want sacred artifacts, precious materials, formation notes, and treasures worth points.

But here, there are only stones and corpses... Oh, and those pythons that go fishing in the sea. I can't just collect a box of snake gallbladders and sell them, can I?"

"You still haven't told me what you left behind..."

"I didn't leave anything behind, just left a wound. But I left something good for you. The princess of Dark Moon Island already had a good impression of you, and now with the bond of saving each other's lives, what do you think will happen next?"

"Just for that?"

"Yes, just for that."

Karun was so angry that he wanted to curse the captain's face, but he couldn't because the captain had no face now.

"This kind of noble lady has the status, experience, good looks, and temperament. It's not easy to win her over, let alone her abilities in other aspects are also remarkable, and her character is top-notch.

The only flaw is that she is still too young now. Emotions like this really need time to settle and understand.

So, it's the most suitable time to win their hearts.

In a few more years, when she matures in this aspect, even if she has a good impression of you, she can easily crush that thought."

"Are you giving me advice here?"

"Yes, Elisa was like that at first. Boys and girls at that age still have dreams in their hearts."

"Captain, you should have known my attitude towards emotions all along.""Yes, I have always known, but you should also know my attitude. Anyway, I am just here to watch the show. The bigger the situation, the happier I am. I have no intention of considering your feelings and emotional choices.

I just think it's interesting, fun, exciting, and meaningful, so I did it."

"..." Karun.

The captain's words were so straightforward that Karun couldn't refute.

"In fact, you are the same." Neo looked at Karun. "You think you are mature, you think you have experienced a lot, you think you can be more calm and capable than most people, and know how to make choices. I used to think the same way, really.

Then, I regretted it.

Don't be like me, really, don't be like me."

"Captain, promise me that next time you want to do something like this, give me a hint in advance."

"If I give a hint, it won't be realistic. Miss Ophelia is not someone who can be easily deceived. She is very smart. If we want to act, we have to act in a genuine way without any mistakes."

"But don't you think this method is a bit..."

"Too low?" The captain sneered, "Is it low to deliberately create a chance encounter? Is it low to prepare a gift in advance for someone's birthday? Is it low to deliberately get drunk to give the other person an opportunity?"

The captain rubbed his rapidly healing wound and continued:

"In matters of the heart, there is no such thing as natural. Everything that seems natural cannot be separated from the deliberate push of one party. Sometimes, it is the mutual understanding and push of both parties.

It's just that most people don't have the conditions to play like we do.

When you see Miss Ophelia again next time, you will feel the difference. You are her initial good impression, and you risked your life for her. This impression cannot be erased."

"I think I will feel embarrassed to see her again."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? When you stabbed me, you knew I was pretending to be lost."

"I..."

"At least at the moment when you created an opportunity for her to escape, you were sincere, right?

So don't feel guilty, and don't be embarrassed. You did risk your life for her and saved her, that's a fact.

Of course, you can also choose to be honest and tell her the truth.

Tell her that the person who wanted to kill you is your captain, and that your captain deliberately created this opportunity for the relationship between you and her. See if she will be moved by your honesty.

Then, your captain's identity as a remnant of the light will be exposed;

Then, your identity will also be exposed."

"Why would my identity be exposed?"

"You reported me, and you want me to help you hide the secret. You can't be as shameless as you are."

"Captain..."

"Don't worry, we have an agreement, and we both know it. Unless one of us deliberately betrays the other, we will always keep this secret for each other."

"Captain, what should I do next?"

"What should you do? You can only accept this matter. If she says you saved her, you can only believe that you did save her, without any explanation or ability to explain.

Then, you can continue to act appropriately, continue to treat her as you did before, keep your distance, and not take that step.

But she won't want to kill this feeling because of your indifference. Instead, she will present a different perspective. The more you do this, the more unforgettable you will be to her, and the deeper the impression."

"Captain, you're off topic. I want to know how we should end this now."

"As for the ending, it's simple. That formation doesn't teleport back to Dark Moon Island. The real teleportation formation back to Dark Moon Island is on the other side, on another island."

"What!"

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry. That formation teleports to another island, inside a cave on a port island. After she comes out, she will see many of her own subordinates on the pier. Then, she can report to her family and take a ship back to Dark Moon Island, which will take about three hours.

As for me, I can use this time difference to teleport directly back to Dark Moon Island from another teleportation formation, then return to the hotel, walk into our room, lie on the bed, cover myself with a blanket, and take a nap."

"What about me?"

"For you, just stay here and wait for her people to come and rescue you."

"I have to stay here?"

"Yes."

"But this doesn't make sense. I couldn't defeat you, yet I survived, and you disappeared without killing me. There's no way to make this logical."

"It seems like that's the case."

"What do you mean 'seems'? Didn't you consider this when you pretended to be lost and attacked me earlier?"

"I'm not a god. How could I have considered everything in such a short time?"

"What do we do now?""Alright, it can be easily arranged. We can set up another scenario, such as my body being damaged, so I wanted to possess your body, but the possession failed, and then I went crazy and died.

There are many corpses in that pit, all of them are the skeletons of the Light. We can dig out one and make some modifications, then light a holy fire to burn it, leaving some traces of the Light, and it will be believable."

"Will it be believable?"

"Yes, because they believe that you have the bloodline of the Dark Moon clan."

"Captain, how did you know about this?"

When Karun shared secrets last time, he didn't tell the captain about this, because compared to his grandfather blowing up the Order Temple, this was just a small matter.

"Oh, when you were chatting in the study, I happened to be standing at the door for a while and heard her say that you and she are of the same clan. Well, I just happened to hear some things.

It seems that she mistook the Dark Moon power transformed by you as the same clan, right? We can take advantage of this misunderstanding to arrange our plan."

"Will it be believable?"

"It depends on how we fabricate it. You know, when it comes to creating fake identities, I am a true expert."

"Yes, I know."

"Let's organize our thoughts from the beginning. If you have any additional secrets that are beneficial to our plan, you can tell me. Our time is limited, and after arranging things here, I must return to the hotel as quickly as possible.

Your disappearance, I can handle it, as the daily ceremonial team doesn't need all members anyway. But if I, as the captain, disappear, Bishop Wofulon will definitely become suspicious.

You don't have to worry about the people from Dark Moon Island reporting this. Firstly, this island is involved in their ancestors' dirty relationship with the remnants of the Light. Secondly, they don't want to expose your identity to the Order Temple, so they will only secretly come to find you, and they will definitely not make it public.

There is a problem with my body, and I need to change bodies. Ophelia should know from my narration that I am Felias, but Felias cannot live for so long, so Felias must have 'returned' through other special means.

It is normal for him to change bodies, after all, he is not truly alive.

And my body was conveniently destroyed by your sword, making it inconvenient for me to continue using it, so I subdued you and wanted to use your body.

During this process, the Dark Moon power in your body erupted, protecting you and severely injuring me. You fell unconscious, and I failed. I was incinerated.

How about this? It fits the dramatic plot well, with darkness being dealt a fatal blow at a critical moment, and the young and handsome hero receiving protection from the unknown, which is in line with the audience's taste."

"The insane Pope of the Felias family once said that he does not believe in the existence of the God of Light. So, I think the people of the Dark Moon clan, although they believe in the Dark Moon, probably wouldn't believe that I am the chosen Dark Moon child and would forcefully protect me in this way.

There is also a major logical flaw here. Ophelia saw me fighting you with the Dark Moon Blade, so she knows that you know I have the bloodline of the Dark Moon. When you forcefully took over my body, you wouldn't make this mistake.

For example, when you were halfway through taking over my body,

You suddenly exclaimed in shock: Ah, I didn't expect that you still have the bloodline of the Dark Moon. The Dark Moon is protecting you...

This kind of thing is impossible to happen."

"Oh, so why did you use the power of the Dark Moon just now?"

"Can you blame me for that?"

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

"Alright, let's change our approach. This actually gave me an idea. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to leave behind more things, such as elevating your position in the Dark Moon Elder Council.

How about this, when I take over your body, suddenly Berna appears and protects you, causing an accident for me, and you survive. How does that sound?"

"What's the difference between that and the Dark Moon protecting me?"

"Berna is lower than the Dark Moon, so it would be more acceptable. Look, there is Berna's statue in the cave, right? I can put your body in the coffin, or you can lie on top of the coffin lid, then move Berna's statue to face you, pretending to protect you. I can also place my traces next to it, with the ancestors appearing to protect their chosen outstanding descendants. It will also be in line with the audience's taste."

"Captain, it still sounds a bit far-fetched..."

"Doesn't it still make sense? Are your requirements too high? You have to understand that some things that happen to people are inherently illogical, such as which grandfather can go and blow up the Order Temple?

Reality, damn reality, often doesn't follow logic.""Captain, how about this? Not only include Berna, but also the sculpture next to Berna. Place them on both sides of my body, let them guard me together. In their perception, I am the descendant of Berna and Miss Pall."

"Miss Pall? The heroine in that love story?"

"Yes."

"Hold on..." The captain slapped the back of his head, "I seem to recall some scenes. Berna was deeply in love with that lady, but she didn't want to bother with him and found him annoying. This memory is in Phelias's mind. When he and Berna were good friends and worked together for the construction of Darkmoon Island, he often teased Berna about this.

Heh, Berna was often teased until his face turned red and his ears were burning. He even laughed and scolded Phelias: If you dare to continue to expose my scars, believe it or not, I will bury you alive.

Let's do as you say, but the problem is, will this become more complicated and unbelievable because there is one more character?"

"I can use the fire power of the ancestor Allen to bake the cave when they come in. When they come to me, I pretend to faint, and then emit the scent of Miss Pall. Captain, you help me set up a magic array to enhance this effect, I can summon the phantom of Miss Pall.

In this way, they can see that Miss Pall seems to be lying next to me, sleeping with me."

"The scent and phantom of Miss Pall? Can you fake it successfully? I remember that Berna left a lot of Miss Pall's memorabilia in his collection room. He even used the hair of Miss Pall that he had secretly hidden to make a puppet to talk to himself.

So, the high-levels of the Darkmoon family may have really come into contact with Miss Pall. What I mean is, not just from the portrait."

"I can do it, because Miss Pall and I have a symbiotic relationship."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me about this last time?"

"Because, Captain, you have no secrets to exchange."

"Damn it!"

Neo slapped the ground hard and said, "So, is Miss Pall still alive?"

"Yes, she is now a cat I keep at home."

"Hehehe... Well, now if you say that the evil god is a dog you keep at home, I won't find it strange."

"Can we start preparing now?"

"Of course, we can start preparing." The captain stood up, spread his hands, and a sword of light appeared in his hand.

"Captain, what are you..."

"Preparing."

"Why do you need a sword to prepare..."

"Oh, because your injuries are not serious enough, I'll add some more."

"..." Karun.
