Crimson Servant

John looked at the excited soup-dipping pokemon and used his palm to block the pokemon's urge to fly into his face. He stretched out his fingers, grabbed the clothing material under the wings of Pickle, and lifted her out of his soup.

"Your friend?" Barnes asked doubtfully. The main reason for his confusion was that Pixie is a kind of friendly miniature spirit. It usually likes to hide in corners and observe strangers. If it thinks that they are kind-hearted, they will show up. Express your friendliness and become friends with the other person through continued interactions.

It was the first time for John and the others to come to another world, and in terms of friendly behavior alone, Barnes bet that the smell of the blood that killed Red Hat had not dissipated from John's body.

Vivian put the spoon into her mouth, looked at the Pickle in John's hand that was gently wiped by the hem of his robe, and took another big bite.

"Oh, I'm so happy to see you found a girlfriend that suits you, John."

John continued to wipe Pickle's face and rub her silky emerald hair. Pickle didn't resist at all, as if she was used to this kind of help.

"No need to be jealous, Vivian, I have always reserved a place for you as a pet in my heart."

The interaction between John and Vivian made Bella a little strange. She stared at John's face, her tears the size of rice grains had stopped.

"Galahad?" she asked with some confusion.

"I'm not who you know," John told her.

"Metamorphosis? Shapeshifter?" The Pixie flapped its wings and flew up, grabbing John's cheek flesh and dragging it to one side.

"It's a real face, exactly the same face as Galahad! Even the voice is the same." Bella was still mumbling in a daze when John took the photo.

Bella still believed in the judgment of her eyes and worriedly fell into the palm of John's hand.

"Galahad, have you lost your memory? Did the Queen do something bad to you?"

Pixie turned to look at the other people at the same table with John. Her eyes swept across Barnes and Vivian, and then stopped on Raven's face. The Pixie shook her body exaggeratedly, and fairy dust piled up in John's hands like snowflakes. She swooped into John's collar and screamed at his neck.

"It's the bad guy Gawain! He's coming to hunt us down! Run, Galahad!" The words of Pixie made John's eyes shift to Raven. One collision can be explained by coincidence, so the second time , John could only feel the malice of the world.

Bella was thrown out of John's collar at a faster speed. She looked at the place where she was hiding with lingering fear.

The fabric fibers on the Warlock's shoulders spread out, like a small red flower blooming, swaying its petals towards the Pickling.

Bella finally understood that this was not Galahad.

…

The Pixie flapped its dragonfly wings and hovered on the raised forehead of each adventurer for a few seconds. The bright blue fairy powder was spread by the Pixie with its own saliva on the adventurer's forehead, gorgeous The color blends into the skin and disappears instantly.

Bella put her hands on her hips and flew between the four of them.

"Okay, now you can understand the language of our world."

"Thank you, Bella," John said.

"It doesn't matter, John." Bella looked at the face that was exactly the same as her good friend and muttered, "Galahad always told me that strangers will save our faith and save our world. Now I believe what he said must be true.”

"Look at your team, one is Galahad who is not too good, and the other is Gawain who is not too bad. Oh my god, you have two knights and lords of the Round Table alone! They are still the strongest knights and my best friends! I I have no doubt you can do anything.”

An approachable guide, Bella's arrival undoubtedly gave the Daystar team a chance to understand their opponents. A ceremony to cut off belief. If the mind flayers spend time and energy traveling to this other world, the conspiracy they want to achieve must be very important, and cutting off belief happens to be a possibility.

But this does not mean that the Daystar Team is willing to make enemies of the ruling class of this world, if it is not necessary. The words of Pixie are only one-sided words. John and the others have the habit of choosing their own enemies and friends.

"What are the Knights of the Round Table? Bella." John asked.

Pickle thought for a moment and used light powder to draw a little knight in the air.

"The knight force directly under Queen Morgan. Our world has been almost cut off due to the weakening of faith, the disappearance of the gods, and the disappearance of magic. As a result, the powerful knight class has become the top force of the human race, and Queen Morgan selects the most outstanding knights from many knights. The knights formed the Knights of the Round Table, and the most powerful knights who pledged loyalty to the queen were given the title [Knight Lords]. Galahad also took the oath, but later he was ashamed of that oath, and Morgan bewitched him."

Barnes smiled and said easily, "It doesn't seem that scary, just some title aristocrats." He saw Bella's bulging face because of her disparaging remarks about the Knights of the Round Table, and he smiled awkwardly and slapped John on the shoulder.

"I know you may not believe it, but the savior you chose... poof... the savior has the power to use magic here! Super scary magic! John should be able to deal with the knight lord easily."

"It won't be easy! The Knights of the Round Table and the Queen are very powerful!" Bella stamped her feet on the air, clenched her fists with both hands, and imitated the attack of a warrior.

"John's magic did scare me, but I am sure that the Knight Lord will be more powerful than John. When Galahad took me to the Round Table Council, he told me to be careful to stay in his pocket, so I Only then can I feel the frightening power of those knight lords up close. And Queen Morgan is even more unfathomable. Galahad once warned me not to peek into the queen's face, because it will bring irreversible consequences."

"In short, both the Lord Knight and Her Majesty the Queen have some special abilities that can defeat magic! They are not small characters who can be easily solved by magic! If I could do it, I would have played various pranks on Galahad. , rather than being caught by him in advance every time.”

The Daystar team exchanged glances.

"So, Bella, do you know about the special abilities Galahad has? If you need to keep it a secret, please pretend I haven't spoken. We need to evaluate the difficulty of this world to better plan decisions."

Pixie shook his head.

"There is no need to keep it secret. Knowing Galahad's ability will not harm him. If you want to hear it, of course I can tell you."

"Galahad's Word is 'absolution.' When he proclaims the Word, Galahad is able to dissociate himself from any action against him, whether it is an attack at close range or a siege. His actions Unable to be controlled by anything, Galahad can escape any imposed responsibility or punishment. Even from natural disasters that are beyond human power, Galahad can miraculously escape unscathed."

Bella's description of the special ability belonging to the knight Galahad made the Daystar team's hearts sink. An ability that can easily avoid crises and risks, and can also escape from crises. John thought in his mind that this ability has surpassed many prophecies. This ability is a bit too powerful, as powerful as... a miracle.

"Holy Word?" John remembered this term. The Knights of the Round Table needed to announce a certain Holy Word in advance to use their abilities. This may be a possible weakness.

"The maintenance of the Holy Word requires a lot of energy from the knights and cannot be maintained for a long time."

A legitimate limitation.

Galahad's ability is indeed very powerful, and the better news is that Bella's arrival shows that the knight has some goodwill towards the adventurer team. Then we should be more wary of another one, the villain Gawain in Bella's mouth.

"What about Gawain's holy words, Bella, do you know it?"

The Pickle nodded and timidly shrank into John's hand.

"The Holy Word of Knight Gawain is the 'Doomsday'. After Lord Knight Gawain declares the Holy Word, all other materials within ten meters of him except Gawain himself will be instantly ignited by flames and reduced to ashes. This range will change accordingly. Expanding through time until He ends the Word."

"It sounds like Gawain will never catch Galahad."

"I'm afraid Gawain's goal is not just to capture him."
