The golden dagger did not pose any threat to Johnny, but at this moment, Johnny's eyes were only Santa Maria, who was most likely his biological sister. He could not see the golden dagger that had shot in front of him. The other pirates did not expect that his captain would look like he was not planning to dodge or counterattack at the enemy's attack. It was not until the dagger pierced into his shoulder that the pirates exclaimed in an agreement.

However, it was not Johnny who was stabbed by the dagger, but Horay!

Horay knocked Johnny away with his shoulder, and was also stabbed by the golden dagger shot out by St. Maria. Johnny seemed to come back to his senses and looked at the blood flowing out of Haray's shoulder. When he faced Santa Maria again, he changed his face.

"You are not Xiao Ai!" Johnny tightened the giant sword in his hand again and shouted loudly in his mature and thick voice: "Xiao Ai is so kind. If no young life is willing to hurt, how can he kill his relatives!"

Catherine behind Horay had already stepped tightly to Horay to support him. She didn't know the real relationship between Horay, Johnny and Xiao Ai, but she vaguely felt that there was a very deep relationship between them, but no matter what, Saint Maria hurt Horay. If Horay hadn't shook his head at her, she wouldn't have stood by Horay so quietly.

Horay reached out to hold Johnny's shoulder, gently shook Catherine's hands, and slowly passed by Johnny's side, and walked towards St. Maria step by step.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Horay murmured, feeling that tears had blurred his eyes. He clearly saw that crystal tears had begun to drip down from the jaw of Santa Maria's golden mask. Horay was already convinced that under the mask, there was nothing wrong with Elena.

Huole's tears were both happy and sad. What was happy was that Xiao Ai was still alive after all, and he finally reunited with her. What was sad was that although Xiao Ai was now the leader of the Knights Templar, for Xiao Ai, who could not bear to hurt any life, the pain that Huole and the others had to bear to bear to hurt at all.

Just like now, no matter what the reason is, no one will feel sad and painful than herself to let Xiao Ai attack Horay and Johnny.

This is also the reason why Horay had doubted the true identity of the Commander of Santa Maria, he still wanted to avoid it temporarily. Now the situation of Helantis is very complicated. Not to mention the authenticity of Xiao Ai's identity, since she is the commander of the Knights Templar, then the hostility between the two sides is inevitable. Horay had no way of unimagining how Elena had spent nearly a year, but it must be full of hardships and suffering. Instead of sprinkling salt on her wounds, Horay would rather endure the pain of not being able to recognize each other for the time being and wait for the opportunity to meet again in the future. Anyway, with the strength and status of the Commander of the Knights Templar, not anyone can hurt her.

What Hore didn't expect was that just as the moment the Broken Tooth left the As Dragon Crystal Wall, the commander of the Santa Maria directly boarded the Broken Tooth. Hore was excited about the next thought and worried about the possible confrontation. The reality was that Hore's concerns had indeed become reality.

But no matter what, he has reunited with Johnny and Xiao Ai again, and Horay will never allow the tragedy of flesh and blood to happen!

"Sorry, Xiao Ai, I know you must have suffered a lot. I threw you in Gaia City. If you want to blame me, blame me. Don't hate Johnny." Horay said as he walked towards St. Maria. The other party slowly raised his arm again. Johnny and Catherine behind Horay took a step forward together. Horay looked back and stopped the two of them from further action with a faint smile.

"You don't know what happened..." Saint Maria spoke, her voice no longer as quiet as before in the magical image, but she showed a deep sadness and a faint helplessness, like a girl who was awakened by lightning in the middle of the night, and was as frightened as she found that there was no one who accompanied her in the empty room. At this moment, she was no longer the leader of the Knights Templar, but she turned back to the little girl in Gaia, Elena.

"Yes, I don't know." Horay nodded, and did not stop himself: "You can tell me, look, Johnny and I are here, what is more important than being together? Johnny and I will protect you and protect you from any harm. Don't be afraid, Xiao Ai, we are here!"

"You don't know what happened..." After Elena murmured and repeated what she said, her voice suddenly became louder: "Many people died! War! Blood everywhere! Brother Lanar died in order to protect me, and his intestines hung on the tip of the goblin's spear, like a dancing ribbon. I kept praying, praying that everyone could be saved by the goddess of sunshine. As a result, I was the only one who was saved, everyone died, all died! Why was I the only one who was saved!"

More tears fell from the lower edge of the golden mask, and every word of Elena stabbed Horay in the heart like a sharp knife. Lanar was dead! Lanar, a companion of the Beggar House who was older, steady in his work and had played an important role in the transactions between Horay and Dad Ganley many times, died!

And Elena's last sentence almost completely defeated Horey and died!? Could it be that Lai Xiaoli, Hazel and the others were all dead!?

This heavy blow, coupled with excessive blood loss on his shoulder, made Horay feel that his eyes were getting dark. He almost heard nothing about Elena's next words.

"The Goddess of Sunshine taught me that only war can stop war, only killing can stop killing! Mercy needs to distinguish objects, and kindness can only bring merciless destruction. If I want to be loyal to kindness, I can only become evil. I want to be loyal to my mission, I want to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, only in this way can I..."

With a puff, a hot blood thorn splattered on Elena's golden mask, as if adding a rather funny graffiti to a serious and solemn painting. Elena stopped talking and looked at the dagger that Huo Lei suddenly pulled out of his shoulder and the blood that splattered from the wound.

Huo Lei knelt down straight on the ground, holding the pulled golden dagger with his right hand, and supporting the other hand on the deck, and suddenly leaned down halfway. The dagger was thrust hard on the little finger of his left hand. A piece of bloody little finger was cut off by Huo Lei. Then Huo Lei pulled the dagger out of the deck, and the force he raised plucked the little finger out, rolling and landing at Elena's feet.

Huole only felt that his consciousness was a little blurred. I don’t know if it was because of the bad news brought by Elena or because he had already approached the limit of spell casting, which caused some side effects. His always calmness and calmness disappeared from Huole’s body at this moment, and the crazy and paranoid side hidden in Huole’s personality immediately controlled his entire body.

However, Horay had no way to vent.

At this moment, Horay was unwilling to consider who his enemy was, those goblins who attacked Gaia City? Or the conspirators standing behind the scenes? Horay could only see the faces that passed by, Lai Xiaoli, who was still snot clean, and Bob who was smirking but seemed to be crying, Hazel with a mean face, Abel, and Heli, who was cute like a doll...

For Huo Lei, who had never tasted the warmth of family affection in his previous life, these people are his absolutely irreplaceable precious family members!

"Ah---!!!" A dazzling light burst out from Horay's body. The demon ring suddenly burst out under Horay's emotional break. The surging force strongly hit Horay's body because it could not find an outlet. Johnny and Catherine began to run there when Horay cut off their little finger. However, in this dazzling light, the last scene they saw was that Horay raised his head, raised the golden dagger in his hand high, and stabbed it hard into his throat.

The pirate crew around had long been confused by the twists and turns of the tragic comedy on the deck. After the white light dimmed, they took their blindfolded hands and looked at Horey.

Horay was lying in the arms of the leader of the St. Mary. She held the sharp blade of the golden dagger with one hand, and blood slowly flowed out from her fingers. The other hand held the golden mask on her face, gently taking it off, and revealing a holy and loving face.

"Horai." Elena called Hore's name gently, and Hore also slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clearer than before, no longer at all the crazy colors he had before.

Huo Lei raised his hand and gently brushed away the tears on Xiao Ai's face with a little fingerless hand. A little blood was wiped on Elena's face, as if the blush had been carefully applied: "Welcome back, Elena!"

ps: Thank you for the gentle breeze floating by and the rewards from Escaper, as well as new and old friends who have been rewarding and supporting me some time ago. Thank you very much!

Reply to Captain Sulu: Of course it is Xiao Ai. I have been emphasizing how loyal and pure her faith in Goddess Alina is. Who will she be if she is not a god's favor~
