Crimson Servant

The first time John Camp saw that magnificent city, the warlock couldn't help but cover his head. His psychic perception activated on its own, manifesting in his conscious world a fallen city shrouded in twisted desires and followed numbly by the people. This was in sharp contrast to the smooth castle he saw.

"Morgan, Morgan, Morgan..." Countless distorted shouts with indistinguishable sounds echoed in John's perception along the psychic tentacles. These fanaticisms have formed an aggressive atmosphere, ready to destroy everyone who comes close to it. Turned into nourishment for twisted souls.

There is no religious belief in the city, but the cult of personality surrounding Queen Morgan has reached morbid proportions. She took advantage of the opportunity when the lost gods no longer appeared in the world to gain the people's faith and make her position the highest. The boundaries between gods and humans have been blurred in those distorted brains. John knew that all he needed to sublimate this blind worship was an opportunity.

John looked at this royal city ruled by Queen Morgan in every sense, and felt deep malice from it.

"Is the reason you were able to escape from this place because of your ability?"

John was surprised that Galahad was unaffected by Morgan's charm, the popularity of the people reaching a level of psychic perception equivalent to mental manipulation spells. John suspected that as long as they lived in the royal city for a day, they would be affected by this atmosphere and have a strong liking for Queen Morgan. However, Galahad, who has lived here for a long time, was not affected by it and his eyesight was clear.

Galahad shook his head and said.

"I was once a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and a knight lord who was given the Holy Word by Queen Morgan. I was initially seduced by Morgan's charisma, and the wonderful feeling of being noticed by the Queen always controlled me."

"Even after I mastered the holy word of escape from sin, that feeling didn't change, because I couldn't discover the abnormality in my soul at all until Morgan gave me an order."

"She ordered me to explore the ancient ruins inside the Silent Room. I speculate that Morgan thought that my ability could resist the mysterious dangers in the ruins, but she did not expect that the mysterious power of the Silent Room would correct my charmed mind. "

"Therefore, I realized my abnormality, escaped from Morgan's charm, and started to obey Morgan with the help of the order to explore the ruins."

John captures the point of Galahad's words.

The Room of Tranquility, which corroborates with the entrance to the ruins mentioned by Merlin. John is certain that there is indeed such a ruins of the Creator in the royal city, and John also knows that the power of the Holy Word of the Knight Lord is actually the blasphemous prayer found in the ruins by Merlin and Morgan. , the fourth word of God.

John asked doubtfully: "Can you take us into that quiet room and gain spiritual resistance from the ruins to resist Morgan's charm?"

"I can't." Galahad looked a little frustrated. "The Room of Silence is in the center of the royal city, under the tower where Morgan lives. It is guarded by the Knights of the Round Table. They can sense the movement of my declaration of the Holy Word. Every knight lord can Able to discover each other’s abilities.”

"And I can't guarantee that you won't be captured by Morgan's charm when you get close to the royal city."

Barnes first observed John's fearful look as he looked at the royal city from a distance, and casually said, "Is the charm of this queen really that scary?"

Galahad replied, "This is Morgan's holy word, 'Vanity'. Her beauty will be magnified to the level of easily capturing a normal human male, so that she can easily gain the worship and love of the people. In addition to 'Charm' In addition, another ability of the Holy Word is 'Domination'. Morgan will not be defeated by anyone who swears allegiance to her. If a certain knight lord betrays her, Morgan will gain the blessing of vanity at the moment of confrontation, far exceeding that of his opponent. Talent. You can't defeat the queen by defeating the superior. Only outsiders have a chance."

Raven narrowed his eyes, and Galahad looked at the adventurer with bright eyes, causing discomfort to the three men.

"But now we can't even enter the city gate."

"We know another way to enter the city, leading directly to the Chamber of Tranquility." Bella flew up from Galahad's shoulder armor, and the light powder drew a circle in the air.

To be honest, the answer appeared in John's and several other people's minds at the same time.

Galahad didn't lie.

"A... friend I know was a worker who was ordered to excavate ancient ruins. Well, he was a not-so-serious guy. He secretly dug a secret passage leading outside the city in the ancient ruins in an attempt to steal the treasures in the ruins. , and ended up just escaping Morgan’s declaration of the Holy Word. When the residents of the royal city fell into the queen’s fanaticism, he sensed the danger, escaped from the city through a secret passage, and now settled in a small village not far away.”

"We can ask him to help."

…

Galahad took John and others to the village in his memory.

Because they were defecting knights, Galahad and John wore masks and disguises together. Without the convenience of being a Knight of the Round Table, their search progressed slowly and took some time.

After many twists and turns, John and others were able to get information about Galahad's so-called friend from a carpenter.

The bearded man with sawdust on his clothes clasped his bald head with his fingers, and then spoke after thinking for a while.

"Ah! That bastard Crowe. He was hanged for theft two years ago, and his body is buried on the eastern outskirts of the village."

John and the others raised their heads and looked at Galahad calmly.

The escape knight giggled awkwardly and hurriedly broke up with Crowe.

"Actually... the reason why I got acquainted with Crowe was because I lent him a sum of money. He claimed that he was short of money and used the secret of the secret channel to pay off the debt. We are not very close friends. This person is a bit difficult. To deal with this, when I communicated with him a few years ago, I didn’t get any benefits from him, so the location of the secret passage was never figured out.”

"But there is no other way. The dead person is the most important. In fact, Crowe has revealed a few words to me over the years. We can figure out the location of the secret passage after spending some time, probably."

Galahad said calmly.

John tilted his head and said to Raven: "Don't you think this feeling is familiar?"

Raven nodded.

"Well, it seems the last inverter has been found. What are you going to do? John."

Galahad looked strange, and Bella shrank behind the knight's collar in fear, folding it and covering her pointed ears.

John's unbridled evil words frightened the kind-hearted Pixie.

"It's just right to be dead. The dead people controlled by the dead will not lie."

"When it gets late, we will go to the eastern outskirts of the village and dig up the grave of Barnes from another world so that he can get up and talk."

The captain protested angrily.

"Hey! I can hear you!"

The warlock rolled his eyes and looked at the emotional captain.

"Oh, Barnes, my friend, is there anything else you would like to add?"

Barnes rubbed his palms and sneered.

"Let me ask, I will definitely get the location of the secret passage in five questions and answers."

"And my treasure!"
