Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 219 Golden Rose Theater (Part 7)

After the photographer left, Conan was still frightened. Unlike Gin's cold and murderous aura, the photographer presented him with an elegant and cruel aristocratic image.

Conan's inner thoughts: Yes, he is the current head of the Melody family. His social status is very high and almost unshakable. If such a person were an enemy, it would be too terrifying. The internal strife in Oritis is so terrifying, but what is the purpose of this head of the family?

With an uneasy mood, Conan watched the curtain on the stage slowly open.

The first play was "Knight of Avalon", starring a knight, a psychologist and a patient.

The story begins when the brave knights slew the dragon, the sword of Kings was returned to the lake of Avalon, and the king of the world promised eternal peace to the heroes, so the spirits of the knights fell asleep in the temple.

On this day, the temple dedicated to the spirits of the knights was shaken violently. The former leader of the knights, the Red Knight, woke up in the earthquake and saw the ruined temple and the long-abandoned altar.

The doubtful Red Knight decided to change into casual clothes and go to the human kingdom to see if the eternal peace promised by the king still existed.

Obviously he was very disappointed with the situation in the human world. The evil dragon, a symbol of sin, could be defeated, but the greed, jealousy, and desire for fame and fortune in people's hearts would not disappear.

He walked through the fields, where farmers had to offer their lords far more grain than they harvested; he walked through the towns, where poor beggars on the streets were driven away by patrols because they destroyed this "beautiful peace"; he walked through the temple, where without the threat of the dragon, the clergy took on the efforts of the knights and reaped the wealth of the ignorant believers.

The Red Knight was furious. Was this the "eternal peace" the king had promised? So he went to the palace, where banquets were being held all day long, with constant drinking and music. No one cared about what was happening outside.

The Red Knight did not see the king. Perhaps he had already turned to dust in the torrent of time. Generations of kings passed on, leaving only the appearance of peace.

They had been deceived. This was the Red Knight's first reaction after returning to the temple. He had to find a way to remind people of the virtues of heroes.

The evil in people's hearts is like a fuse in a long peace, and the endless wear and tear makes everything become mediocre. The vivid values ​​and beliefs that heroes burst out seem to reappear only in the fiercest disputes.

However, now that the dragon is gone, it is time for him to step forward "at the right time", reignite the flames of war, and rebuild a glorious stage worthy of the legend.

Then the Red Knight knocked on the doors of the temple, awakening all the sleeping knight spirits.

The Silver Knight (played by a psychologist) once guarded the Holy Grail in the war. She wore silver armor and a lake blue cape on her shoulders, and the flowing hem made her look very heroic.

"Brave Red Knight, our leader, what has happened that has caused you to wake us up?"

Many knights' heroic spirits had gathered in front of the somewhat dilapidated round table in the temple. They had woken up from their slumber and were talking in low voices.

"Is someone coming to sacrifice us?"

"How long has it been since the first sacrifice?"

"I don't know. It looks like no one has been here for a long time."

The Red Knight listened to the idle chatter and overturned the round table, startling the heroic spirits present.

"My fellow warriors who once slew the dragon with me, not long ago, I awoke from an accident, only to find a ruined temple. Confused, I journeyed to the human realm."

The Red Knight then exaggerated what he had seen and heard in the human world, and angrily denounced the former king as a liar, saying that there was no such thing as "eternal peace".

"Furthermore, I've observed that within the castle that once housed the dragon, a new dragon is slowly being nurtured by the malice of humanity. Although the human world has failed us, we cannot abandon the spirit of chivalry. It's time for us to slay this newborn dragon."

The Red Knight's eyes revealed a hint of cunning. There was no new evil dragon at all. He just made it up to fool these hot-blooded fools.

The Silver Knight was horrified. "How could this happen? Red Knight, is this true? If so, we need the sword sealed in Lake Avalon to slay the dragon."

The other knights echoed their words, mixed with some complaints about the human world.

"Why haven't any new knights joined us in all these years?"

"Those who have benefited from our kindness have long forgotten their past sufferings and are now enjoying happiness there!"

The Red Knight sneered in his heart. According to his plan, when the Silver Knight got the sword back, he would snatch the sword away. In this way, the only means to check and balance the evil dragon would be in his hands. He would become the "mediator" to remind the world of the horror of the evil dragon, and he would save this twisted world.

He put on a helmet of burning flames and set fire to the extravagant palaces of the mortal world, watching these "evil thoughts" being burned out. Then the mortal world believed that a new evil dragon was born, and they needed to go to the temple and pray for the help of the knights.

On the other side, the Silver Knight went to look for the sword in the lake as requested by the Red Knight, but a hundred years had passed and the environment had changed considerably. She really couldn't find where the lake where the sword had sunk was.

Fortunately, the dryads and fairies of the woods led her to the residence of the Lake Fairy (played by the patient). Flexible vines grew through his hair, blooming white flowers. The Lake Fairy, dressed in a light veil, sat on the shore, his lake-like eyes reflecting the Silver Knight's noble character.

[Doctor: Wait, there's too little fabric on Emil! (Covering the gardener's eyes)]

[Gardener: Eh, I think I'm fine. (Pushes the doctor's hand away)]

[Explorer: If you really think there's not enough fabric, you should be complaining about us in swimsuits and bathrobes.]

[Professor: How can that be the same? Emil's clothes are like a piece of cloth all over his body!]

[Novelist: It's okay. I'll give him another piece of cloth later. (Blocking the little girl's eyes)]

[Prisoner: Ida is a big, strong woman, a perfect chest for her fairy Emil to lean on.]

[Mercenary: You are good at playing with abstraction.]

The Silver Knight saluted the Fairy of the Lake, cut off her cloak, and wrapped it around her chest. The Fairy of the Lake told the Silver Knight the truth: the Red Knight was the culprit for the current unrest in the world.

"Go and stop him, the killing should not continue." The Fairy of the Lake presented the sword and encouraged the Silver Knight who yearned for peace to set off towards the dragon's castle.

At this time, in front of the ancient castle, the Red Knight defeated all the knights who came to fight the "evil dragon" and waited anxiously for the Silver Knight to hand the sword to him.

Finally, the Silver Knight arrived on the scene, with the Fairy of the Lake following behind her.

The Red Knight continued to bewitch the dragon: "Brave Silver Knight, this time the dragon is far more powerful than last time. All our comrades have been defeated. Hand over your sword to me, and I will lead the knights to slay the dragon once again."

However, what the Red Knight did not expect was that the Silver Knight drew his sword and pointed the tip of the sword at him.

"This farce should come to an end."
