Chapter 65 The Relic

Chapter 65 The Relic

of the Holy Knight

Dardanelles didn't seem to care about this, he even crouched down, carefully examined the knight's body, and reached out and squeezed his wrist twice.

"It won't take more than two days to die." Dardanelle stood up and frowned, "Look at his injury... What can cut a fourth-level knight in two?

"And this!" Du Wei frowned and pointed to what was laid out with the knight's corpse.

It was a long sword, apparently the weapon worn by the knight during his lifetime. But this sword was also broken in two!

"It may be that during the battle, the other party cut this guy into two pieces even with a sword. Is that right? Du Wei frowned.

"Probably." Dardanelle glanced back at Du Wei: "This guy was buried. Look, this snowdrift is his grave. If it is a Warcraft, the Warcraft will not bury the corpse, but will only drag his corpse away and eat it. Only people would do that.

Du Wei thought for a moment, and then looked at Dardanelle: "Dardanelle, what level of warrior are you?"

"I have the title of a third-level swordsman. My swordsman level is not high, but I am confident in my archery. Dardanelles replied.

"I know." Du Wei said positively: "Friend, then you should have experience, you look at this broken sword... The upper incision is neat. It is not surprising that powerful monsters bite off the samurai's sword. But the incision is so neat, it is obvious that it was cut with a sharp weapon! I don't think this was done by Warcraft, obviously, this knight did not die at the hands of Warcraft, but was killed by someone. Dardanelle

listened to Du Wei's words, immediately collected his mind, and carefully looked at the broken part of the sword.

After a long time, he raised his head: "Not bad, you are right, but I am too careless." In a place like this, I only care about Warcraft.

"Still that question... Dardanelles. You are a third-level samurai, what kind of master do you think can cut off a fourth-level samurai with a sword, or a fourth-level samurai with a sword?

Dardanelle's face became more solemn:

"A fourth-level knight has mastered the fighting spirit. A knight who has mastered the fighting spirit, the strength is not low. If you want to cut it off with a sword..." Dardanelle thought carefully, while looking at the sword... Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"Look! Harry! Look at the chest of this knight's leather armor ... Look at this place!

As if he had discovered something,

Dardanelle held the body hard, and then pointed to a shallow mark on the leather armor on the knight's chest: "Look, this is it." See?

Du Wei leaned over: "Well, it seems that there was something hanging here, probably a badge or something... It was taken off though.

"Yes." Dardanelles nodded: "This is usually where knights wear badges. However, you can see that he already has a badge on his chest, which is the badge of a fourth-level knight issued by the Knights' Guild... On the mainland, what kind of knight will wear two kinds of insignia?

The two glanced at each other and shouted at the same time: "Holy Knight of the Temple of Light!" The

Roland Continent, the Temple of Light, which has a strong religious influence, even in some ways this authority almost threatens the imperial rule of the empire. The temple has its own taxes, as well as a certain armed force. This armed force is the Holy Knight of the Temple.

The Temple of Light will cultivate some people from an early age, and after a certain age, it will be distinguished according to the talent of each person, and those who have martial arts talent will let them train martial arts, and after adulthood, after baptism and testing, select those who have excellent martial arts and the most devout beliefs to join the Holy Knights of the Temple, and their mission is to defend the honor and dignity of the Temple with their lives, and contribute their voice to the Temple and the gods.

In the entire continent, only the holy knights of the Temple of Light will wear two knight badges on their chests, one is the knightly rank badge of the knight's association, and the other is the glorious holy knight badge, which is a symbol of the status of the holy knight.

Similarly, when a holy knight dies in battle, the companion will remove the sacred knight's badge and bring it back to the temple and store it in a place called the "holy hall" to commemorate the sacrifice of the knight who died in battle.

Dardanelle's eyes flickered, and he quickly rolled up the sleeve of the dead knight. The clothes were already frozen hard, and it was very difficult to roll up, but when the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, Dardanelle sighed: "It seems that my judgment is correct, you see this scar, it is scalded with divine oil." It is a kind of baptism of holy knights in the temple. Every holy knight's arm has scars from this divine oil.

Du Wei leaned over, and sure enough, he saw a scalded mark on the corpse's arm, this mark was very unique, as if it was a beating flame.

Dardanelle explained while gesturing: "When the young holy knight is baptized, he will have a large pot of boiling divine oil beside him, and then the Pope of the temple will personally preside over the ceremony, holding a special iron sword with a seal inlaid on the head of the sword... Together, the sword and seal represent the mission of the Holy Knight to defend the secular authority of the gods, with 'force and power'. During the ceremony, the Pope himself dips one end of the seal-encrusted sword in piping hot divine oil, burns it red and burns it on the arm of the baptized knight! This sign is the glory of every holy knight! Also their glory ... And if he did something contrary to the gods, became a rebel, went against his beliefs, committed a felony, a holy knight who committed a felony, he would be punished by the temple ... Even before you are executed, the temple will scrape off this mark on your arm with a knife! This means that even if you die, your soul will not be forgiven by the gods! What

Dardanelle said, in fact, Du Wei also knew, and he nodded: "Well, so, although it is usually said that the holy knight wears two badges, the holy knight himself will think that he wears three badges." And the third badge is this scar on their arm.

"So you know that, Harry." Dardanelle sighed.

The two silently buried the dead knight again, and then both of their expressions were a little solemn!

A slain holy knight! And he is also a fourth-level knight with good martial skills!

This is no simple matter!

The position of the Holy Knight in the Empire is very special. They are responsible for the power of the guardian spirits on earth, and they are a special group. These people have been ascetic since childhood, powerful, devout, and... It has to be said that most of the holy knights are of noble character.

And most importantly... No one dares to murder a holy knight!

Even a holy knight who violated the law, or a holy knight who betrayed his faith, could only be judged and punished by the temple itself.

And let alone a sinner... Even if it is a normal holy knight, if he kills one, then it is equivalent to challenging the authority of the Temple of Light! Challenged the authority of the divine agents on earth!

It is to be the enemy of the entire Temple of Light!

and the Temple of Light as enemies... Even the Emperor of the Empire or the Magic Union did not dare to do this!

Anyone who dares to make enemies of the Holy Knight, or even kill the Holy Knight, are those notoriously powerful, evil guys.

For example, decades ago, a powerful and evil magician once killed tens of thousands of civilians in order to study necromancy, and even let a small town spend the nightIt turned into a ghost town, which angered the temple, sent the Templars, and killed the magician at a heavy price.

There are many more things like this in history, and it was the Holy Knight who did these things.

But that's about it!

Other than that, the Holy Knight will definitely not do anything else boring!

Not to mention running into the frozen forest to hunt Warcraft!

The Holy Knight is not a mercenary!

In this ghost place, the Holy Knight has appeared, then there is only one explanation: the Holy Knight came here to carry out a mission! They are here to hunt down some evil powerhouse! Defend the honor of the temple with their swords!

"I don't think our journey will be peaceful." Du Wei and Dardanelle looked at each other, and their eyes were complicated.

•;

After a slight rest, the two buried the dead holy knight again and moved on.

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

There are three graves this time! The three tombs are buried with dead holy knights! And this time, one of the corpses, after letting Dardanelle take a look, was stunned on the spot!

"Brother... Lord Gofitt! This is Lord Gofitt!! Looking

at a man lying under the snow, wearing a silver armor ... In this ghost weather, he does not wear leather armor, but wears a metal armor, which is absolutely crazy in the eyes of ordinary people! Metal things are more likely to freeze to death in such a cold place! Far less useful than leather armor!

But this dead man was dressed in metal armor ... If he is not a madman, then it can only mean that his strength is very strong, strong to the point that he can not be affected by this cold weather!

This guy's face was clean, and there was not even a trace of blood on his body. This is different from the other bodies that Du Wei found. Apparently, the people who buried him also treated him with special courtesy because of his different status. Even when burying this knight, someone helped him shave all the beard on his face and his hair was meticulously tidy.

He lay quietly in the snow pit, his hands on his chest, and in his hands, a beautiful long sword glowing with silver light lay quietly on his chest. This person's appearance is very handsome, although he has frozen all over his body, but Du Wei can still think of how demeanor he was when he was alive.

"Lord Goffett... High Holy Knight of the Temple. After his initial surprise, Dardanelle said with a gloomy face: "He is also a ... Level 8 Knight! Harry, you have to know that knights above the eighth level have the title of great knights! Kill a Grand Knight... I really can't imagine who has such strength, moreover, dares to be an enemy of the temple!

Dardanelle stood up, and then bowed deeply in front of the corpse of the knight named "Goffet": "Lord Goffett, I didn't expect to see you here... The last time I saw you, I was by the Marquise's side, and thank you for taking the evil guy who cursed our lady that day.

Speaking of this, Dardanelle's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Du Wei remembers very well that Dardanelle mentioned this name when he first met himself... During that outing, the Marquise de Liszt met an evil magician, who happened to be protected by a holy knight, who was the dead Goffet. Goffett went to see the Marquise of Liszt on behalf of the temple to thank the marquise for her donation to one of the great fortunes of the temple.

Du Wei looked into the distance... Except for the sound of the wind, there was silence, and there was no movement.

The lake in the distance is still covered with ice, and there is not even a single ghost shadow on the vast snow.

"Can kill an eighth-level knight and holy knight, and this eighth-level knight has the help of many companions by his side..." Dardanelle whispered: "People with this kind of ability can already be regarded as the top powerhouses in the continent!" When did the Roland Empire come out with a guy who dared to challenge the temple and possess such great strength?!

Du Wei thought out of his mind, and did not seem to reflect on Dardanelle's words. But soon as if he remembered something, he suddenly squatted down, lifted Gofitt's body again, and then dug hard under his body!

"Harry! What are you doing? Dardanelle was a little unhappy: "Please don't disturb Lord Gofitt's sleep!"

"Dardanelle, don't you know... When the Holy Knight buries his companions, he also buries them under the corpse along with the relics he carries with him! Du Wei replied in his mouth, but kept in his hand: "It just so happens that I have heard that those holy knights who believe in piety often have the habit of keeping a diary, because they need to pray every day, and when they are outside, they cannot pray in the temple, and these knights often choose to keep a diary to record their inner words."

Soon, after digging a pit under the corpse, Du Wei let out a low sigh, pulled out a cloth bag from below, and after opening it, inside was a small silver pendant, on which was a statuette of the goddess of light, and a dagger... And, a little book!

"Look, this is the diary of the Knight of Goffet." Du Wei raised his head and glanced at Dardanelle: "I think, what happened, there should be an answer here."

Dardanelle didn't speak, he frowned: "I don't think it's a good idea." Lord Goffett must not want anyone to touch his things... Harry, put it back.

However, Du Wei did not listen to him, but opened the diary, flipped it up, and after a while, Du Wei said loudly: "Look..."
