Law of the Devil

Chapter 65 [Relics of the Divine Knight]

Dardanelle didn't seem to care, and he even squatted down, examined the knight's body carefully, and stretched his hand over his wrist twice.

“Dead won't last more than two days.” Dardanelle stood up and frowned: “Look at his wounds… what can stop a level 4 knight from cutting his waist in two? ”

“And this!” Dewey frowned, pointing to what was placed with the knight's body.

It was a long sword, obviously a weapon worn by the knight during his life. But this sword is also broken into two pieces!

“Probably in battle, they cut this guy into two pieces with a sword. Isn't that right?” Dewey frowned.

“Probably.” Dardanelle looked back at Dewey: “This guy was buried. Look, this snow pile is his grave. If it was a warcraft, it wouldn't bury the body, it would just drag it away and eat it. Only people do that. ”

Dover thought a little bit and looked at Dardanelle: "Dardanelle, what level of samurai are you? ”

“I have the title of Third Class Swordsman. My Swordsman level is not high, but I am confident in my archery.” Dardanelle replied.

“I know." Dewey said positively: “Well, my friend, you should have experience. Look at this broken sword... it has a neat cut. Not surprisingly, a powerful warcraft bites off a samurai's sword. But the incision was so neat, it was obviously cut with a lever! I don't think it was done by a warcraft. Obviously, this knight wasn't killed by a warcraft, he was killed. ”

Dardanelle listened to Dewey and immediately took a close look at the broken edge of the sword.

For a long time, he looked up and said, "Well, you're right, I was too careless. In places like this, all I care about is warcraft. ”

“Still that question… Dardanelle. You are a Level 3 samurai, what kind of master do you think can cut off a Level 4 samurai with a sword, or just one knife? ”

Dardanelle's face is heavier:

“The Knight of the Fourth Class has mastered the temper. A knight who has mastered his temper, his strength is not low. If you want to cut off a sword...” Dardanelle thinks carefully while looking at the sword... all of a sudden, his eyes shine!

“Look, Harry! Look at the chest of this knight's leather armor... Look at this place! ”

Dardanelle, as if he had found something, held the body tight and pointed to a shallow mark on the leather armor on the knight's chest: "Look, here it is. Did you see that? ”

Dewey pulled over: “Well, it looks like something was hanging here, probably a badge or something... but it was removed. ”

“Yes.” Dadaniel nodded: “This is usually where knights wear badges. But you see, he already has a badge on his chest, a grade four knight badge issued by the Order of Cavaliers… On the mainland, what kind of knight would wear two badges? ”

They looked at each other and said aloud: "Holy Knight of the Light Temple! ”

Religiously powerful Roland mainland, the Temple of Light has a strong religious influence, and even in some ways this authority almost threatens imperial rule. The Temple has its own taxes and a certain amount of armed force. This armed force is the Holy Knight of the Temple.

The Temple of Light will train some people from an early age until a certain age, according to the talents of each person, let them train martial arts. After adulthood, after baptism and testing, select the best martial arts and the most devout among them to join the Holy Knights of the Temple. Their mission is to defend the honor and dignity of the Temple with their lives, and to give their voice to the Temple and the Spirit.

Throughout the continent, only the Holy Knight of the Temple of Light will wear two Knight badges on his chest, one for the Knight's Order Method and the other for the Holy Knight of Glory, a symbol of the Holy Knight's identity.

By the same token, when the Holy Knight dies, his companions take down the Holy Knight's emblem and bring it back to the temple, and store it in a place called the "Basilica” to commemorate the death of the Knight.

Dardanelle's eyes flashed off and he rolled up the sleeves of the dead knight quickly. The clothes had been frozen, and it was hard to roll, but when the sleeves rolled to the elbow, Dardanelle sighed: “Looks like I'm right. Look at this scar, it's burned with oil. This is a kind of baptism of the holy knight in the temple. Every holy knight has a scar on his arm that's burned with this oil. ”

When Dewey pulled over, he saw a burning mark on the body's arm, which was unique, as if it were a beating flame.

On one side, Da Daniel explains: "When the young Holy Knight is baptized, he will be surrounded by a large pot of burning divine oil, which will then be personally presided over by the Pope of the Temple, with a special iron sword in his hand, with a seal embedded on his head… Together, the sword and seal represent the mission of the Holy Knight to defend the divine authority in the world, using ‘force and power'. At the ceremony, the Pope will personally dip one of the stamped swords in the hot oil and burn it red, branding it on the arm of the baptized knight! This symbol is the glory of every holy knight! It is also their glory... In turn, if you do something against the gods, become a rebel, disobey your faith, and commit a felony Holy Knight, you will be punished by the Temple... even before you are executed, the Temple will scrape this mark off your arm with a knife! This means that even if you die, your soul will not be forgiven by the gods! ”

And Dadaniel said this, and he actually knew it, and he nodded, “Well, so, while Holy Knight usually wears two badges, Holy Knight himself thinks he wears three badges. And the third badge is this scar on their arm. ”

“Turns out you know that, Harry.” Dardanelle sighed.

The two men quietly rebuilt the dead knight, then both looked a little heavy!

A Holy Knight Killed! And a level 4 knight with good martial arts!

That's not an easy thing to do!

The Holy Knight's place in the Empire is very special. They are responsible for guarding the power of the Spirit in man, and they are a special group. These people have practiced hard since childhood, are powerful, have a devout faith, and… it must be said that most holy knights have noble moral qualities.

And most importantly... no one dares to murder a divine knight!

Even divine knights who break the law, or who betray their faith, can only be judged and punished by the temple itself.

And don't say that you are a sinner... even if you are a normal holy knight, if you kill one, you will challenge the authority of the Temple of Light! Challenged the authority of the gods' proxies in the world!

It's against the whole Light Temple!

Enemy the Light God Temple... even Empire Emperor, or Magician Guild wouldn't dare!

Those who dare to fight the Holy Knight, or even kill the Holy Knight, are the notoriously powerful, evil ones.

For example, decades ago, a powerful and evil magician had killed tens of thousands of civilians to study the magic of the Necromancer and even turned a small town into a ghost town overnight. Such an act had angered the temple, sent a temple knight and killed the magician at a heavy cost.

Things like this, many more in history, are done by divine knights.

thats all!

Apart from that, the Holy Knight would never do anything else boring!

Not even to hunt monsters in the frozen forest!

Sacred Knight is not a mercenary!

In this shithole, the Holy Knight emerged, so there is only one explanation: the Holy Knight came here to carry out his mission! They're here to hunt down an evil strong man! Defend the temple honor with their swords!

“I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful on our journey.” Dewey and Dardanelle met and looked at each other with complexity.

After a brief break, the two men rebuilt the dead Holy Knight and proceeded.

However, a day later, they discovered the grave again!

There are three graves this time! All three graves are buried with dead knights! And this time, one of the bodies, after giving Dardanelle a glimpse, was shocked!

“Brother... Lord Gophert! This is Lord Gophert!! ”

Looking at a man lying in the snow, wearing a silver armor... in this ghost weather, he is not wearing a leather armor, but wearing a metal armor, which is absolutely insane for ordinary people! Metal things freeze to death in such a cold place! Far more useful without a leather coat!

But this dead man is wearing metal armor... if he is not crazy, then it can only mean that he is very powerful and strong enough to be protected from this cold weather!

This guy has a clean face and no blood stains on his body. That's different from the other bodies they found in Dewey. Apparently, the people who buried him also treated him extraordinarily well because of his different identity. Even as the knight was buried, he was helped to shave his face and his hair was neatly tidied.

He lay quietly in the snow pit, his hands in his chest, his hands, a beautiful sword with a silver glow resting quietly on his chest. This man looks handsome, and although he's frozen all over his body, Dewey can still relate to how brilliant he was when he was alive.

“Lord Goffitt... High Holy Knight of the Temple.” After his initial surprise, Dadaniel said with a gloomy face: “He is also a… Lv8 knight! Harry, you know, knights above level eight have the title of Grand Knight! Kill a great knight... I can't imagine who is capable of this and dare to fight against the Temple! ”

Dardanelle stood up and took a deep bow in front of the body of this knight named ”Gophert": "Lord Gophert, I didn't expect to see you here… The last time I saw you, I was beside the Marquis, and thank you for helping to drive away that evil man who cursed our Lady. ”

Speaking of which, Dardanelle's eyes revealed a bit of sadness.

Dewey remembers very clearly that Dardanelle mentioned this name when she first met herself… The Marquise of Lester met an evil magician on the outskirts, who was surrounded by a holy knight, the dead Gophert. Goffitt represented the Temple to see the Marquis of Lester and thanked the Marquis for her donation of a tremendous fortune to the Temple.

Dewey looked at the distance… silence and nothing but the wind.

The lake in the distance is still covered with ice, and there is no ghost in the bleak snow.

“It can kill an eighth-level knight and a holy knight, and this eighth-level knight has a lot of help from his companions…" Dardanelle whispered: “People with this skill can already be ranked among the most powerful on the continent! When did the Roland Empire come up with a guy who dared challenge the Temple and possessed this powerful power?! ”

Dewey's thoughts seem unresponsive to Dardanelle's words. But soon he felt like he remembered something, and suddenly he squatted down, moved Gophert's body back up, and dug it up under his body!

“Harry! What the hell are you doing?” Dardanelle is a little upset: "Please don't disturb Lord Gophert's sleep! ”

“Dardanelle, don't you know that... the Holy Knight buries his companion's handcuffs under the body when he buries them!” Dewey replied, "I happen to have heard that sacred knights who believe in devotion often have a habit of writing a diary because they need to pray every day and cannot pray in the temple when they are outside, and these knights tend to choose to write a diary to keep track of their inner words. ”

Soon, after digging a pit under the body, Dewey lowered her voice and pulled a cloth bag out of the bottom. After opening it, there was a little silver pendant with a little statue of the Goddess of Light on it and a dagger... and a little book!

“Look, this is the diary of Knight Gophert.” Dewey looked up at Dardanelle and said, "I think there should be an answer to what happened. ”

Dardanelle didn't say anything, and he frowned: "I don't think that's a good idea. Lord Gophert must not want someone touching his stuff... Harry, put it back. ”

But instead of listening to him, Dewey opened the diary and turned it over. After a while, Dewey shouted: "Look...”
