"Lulu,"

Baron Campbell walked out from behind the housekeeper Lulu and stood in front of the player: "If the person I personally selected draws a knife against me, it only shows that my vision is bad."

"Does your vision have any better, especially for men..."

After being glared at, the housekeeper quietly retreated to the side and said nothing more.

But from the slight forward movement of her body, it was obvious that she did not relax her vigilance.

Su Mali also raised her hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, and stepped forward to look directly at the other party:

"Dear Baron, if what you said is true, then on behalf of the Gray Pigeon Detective Agency, I thank you and your Majesty for your protection.

But as the head of the detective agency, I need to make one thing clear to you."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "Even without the secret protection of the royal family, we have the ability to protect ourselves.

The strength we showed in the previous battle is not all.

In short, we are not afraid of or do not belong to any force, even if there are only four of us."

The corridor fell into a dead silence.

Safia and Qin Nuo secretly put their hands on their weapons, ready to take action if the situation was not right.

Are you kidding me? A mere native dares to say he is protecting the players?

Do you know who is protecting us?

The system is the biggest in the world.

The two of them clearly showed this in their eyes.

The system is not a person, so how can you show your loyalty?

Roman's face showed another meaning.

As a result, he received a "ten-minute silence" punishment in the next second.

His vocal cords and Adam's apple were clearly making vocal movements, but he couldn't even utter a single syllable.

His face was quite ugly.

If there weren't so many people now, he would probably have slapped himself hard twice.

The others didn't notice Roman's abnormality, and their eyes were all on Baron Campbell and Sumali.

A few seconds later, a hoarse and magnetic laugh broke the silence.

"Lulu, I'm right.

Look at how serious Detective Curtis was just now, just like Romeo when he was angry. I'm really more and more fascinated by him."

Campbell laughed out loud.

Although it doesn't conform to the etiquette of the nobility, it has a different flavor.

As expected, good-looking people have a filter when doing anything.

Butler Lulu shook her head slightly: "You shouldn't compare a man with a blue short-haired cat. It's very rude."

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment."

Baron Campbell stopped laughing, tidied up his slightly messy clothes, and said seriously:

"Where are you talking about? Oh, the secret of the Knights was discovered.

The bishop spent a lot of effort and finally learned the secret of the knights' powerful abilities.

I just said that any power acquisition requires a price.

The same is true for the knight's blessing.

While they gain inhumanly powerful abilities, they are also planted with the seeds of curses, the curse from Irene. . "

The baron pointed to the direction of the passage: "The more frequently they use the blessing, the more serious the changes in their bodies will be, until they become what you saw in the Red Pine Forest Church.

This is a long-term disease process.

First, coughing and fever, then weakness, followed by vomiting, dizziness, and black marks on the body surface.

Finally, the changes are the demons we saw along the way. "

"So the demons were originally transformed from humans, is this what you want to say, Baron?"

Qin Nuo rubbed his mask chin: "According to our understanding, the infected villagers have a very short disease process. "

"But the strength of the demons is also There are strong and weak ones, right? "

This time it was the housekeeper Lulu who spoke, she kept her usual calmness: "

The powerful knights have a long course of illness, which can be as short as seven or eight years or as long as several decades.

It is both lucky and unfortunate.

The years of survival will erupt all at once after the disease, turning them into terrifying demons that are difficult to deal with. "

Qin Nuo felt something was wrong and interrupted immediately: "No, the disease is caused by the use of blessings. But civilians don't understand these at all, how can they be infected?"

"This involves another secret."

Housekeeper Lulu took out her pocket watch, checked the time and continued to explain:

" After discovering this problem, the church has been working hard to solve it.

Ordinary knights will easily die in the process of dealing with alien demons, so it takes a lot of effort to train them to be strong enough.

But the more the alien demons are trained, the more terrifying they become, and they will kill more knights.

In addition, humans killed by alien demons will also become alien demons, and their strength depends on their strength before death.

It's a dead cycle. "

Su Mali frowned slightly: "What about stopping the use of blessing ability? But the church should be reluctant to give up this ability."

"Of course not,"

Campbell never misses any opportunity to fight with Su Mali."Without blessing, the knight's superhuman combat power will disappear.

How long can an organization without military protection last?

Without blessing, what can believers in Irene gain? Can faith alone maintain the church's current status?

So the church will never, ever give up blessing."

Her eyes flashed with disgust-

"In order to maintain their own status, those bastards in the church developed an evil ritual.

The curse in the knight's body is transferred to other people.

Although it cannot be cured, it can delay the knight's mutation process.

And those poor people whose curses are transferred are the civilians you see.

The believers are a mine for the church to use at will."

-And helpless: "Inexhaustible cheap human mines."

The atmosphere became heavy.

The four players looked at each other, thinking that the script world was so similar to the real world.

With bitterness in their mouths, they couldn't help but wonder about the baron's real purpose.

She went to such great lengths, it shouldn't be just to tell a story.

The baron took out the fruit wine and drank it all, then threw the empty silver-plated wine bottle away casually:

"After discovering this secret, the bishop recorded everything on a parchment scroll and handed it over to the royal liaison.

However, the second king did not take action immediately after receiving the intelligence.

Although the church's behavior was unorthodox, the royal family was not strong enough to fight against it at that time.

We need a force, a force that can fight against demons and knights without the help of blessings."

When the baron said this, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The church worships Irene and gains the power of God.

But they also lose the most important thing as human beings, which is-"

The baron pointed to his forehead: "Think, don't think about why this power was given, don't think about what the so-called God is planning.

They just follow the rules set by God and squander this power.

It is equivalent to becoming Irene's puppet, and then turning into a demon.

So the price of giving up thinking is very expensive."

Sumali, Roman, and Safia all fell into deep thought.

They mastered various extraordinary abilities through systematic learning, aren't they similar to knights?
