"..." Xi Mu looked indifferently at the princess, who was sorrowful and desolate, before scanning the splendid red carpet on the floor, the impeccably dressed nobles, and the wary knights around the hall.
None of the people here wanted to die.
However, life and death were not for them to decide, just as they could arbitrarily decide the fate of the common people, Xi Mu could arbitrarily decide the fate of everyone present.
But there was one person... who was an exception.
Rhode.
A knight with a primordial soul, possessing the ability to "salt" anything, forcing anything he substantively damaged to undergo salinization.
The reason this power came into being, according to the official explanation from the game, was to avoid offending the Gods of Covenant and Wealth, while also providing a means to extend help to the impoverished.
And salt was what Knight Rhode considered a means to acquire wealth, thereby helping more people.
The selfless giver.
The upright knight.
