#129 - The Knights Hospitaller and the Guardian of Death
The four members of the Knights Hospitaller included three women and one man, all powerful elite knights endowed with divine magic by Shallya, the goddess of life.
In addition to their own bloodline talents used for combat, these knights also receive a divine spell bestowed by the goddess of life.
This divine spell greatly reflects the divine authority held by the deity the knights believe in.
For example, Violet, the goddess of the blazing sun, is in charge of tactics and strategy, so the Knight Orschstein possesses [Eagle Eye Vision], [Sun Shield], and [Battle Prayer].
Especially the new divine spell [Battle Prayer] more perfectly embodies the characteristics of Violet, the blazing sun goddess. This is a divine spell that most champion-level knights in the Knights of the Blazing Sun obtain.
When divine grace descended upon the abbey of the territorial goddess, Knight Orschstein also felt the blessing of divine grace and successfully obtained the divine spell after being promoted to the champion level.
This divine spell perfectly fits the style of devout followers of the blazing sun goddess. For them, battle is a devout prayer, so they constantly refresh prayers during battle, granting surrounding friendly knights more powerful strength and more powerful enemies of the goddess of destruction.
This is a passive divine spell, but it can exert an active buff effect, powerful to the point of being unbelievable.
As long as Knight Orschstein continues to fight, he can intermittently refresh buffs for the surrounding friendly soldiers. The interval is roughly equivalent to the time of a normal prayer.
Divine spells undoubtedly occupy an extremely important part of a knight's combat power.
Su Li had long been looking forward to the members of the Knights Hospitaller, and immediately asked Steward Kurt with great interest, "What are the divine spells of these four knights?"
Steward Kurt immediately explained in detail: "As you know, Her Majesty Shallya is the goddess of life and mercy. The symbol of her divine authority is an eye full of tears. Legend has it that Ranald, the god of trickery, condensed his divine persona after tricking her into drinking a bottle of her tears."
"This lady is undoubtedly kind and merciful, able to bring healing and compassion to those who are injured and desperate."
"So the four of them possess two divine spells, namely [Touch of Mercy] and [Fountain of Life]."
"Touch of Mercy: This divine spell allows the user to transmit Shallya's mercy and love through touch, healing wounds caused by swords and giving the touched person mental comfort and strength, dispelling fear in their hearts."
"Fountain of Life: This divine spell can summon a short-lived small fountain of life. The water in the fountain contains the divine power of Shallya's tears, possessing powerful restorative and regenerative abilities. Any creature that drinks these waters can quickly restore vitality and stamina, and even heal some chronic diseases."
"The followers of the blazing sun goddess often gather believers on holidays to conduct military training as territorial militia. The followers of Shallya often organize charitable aid in the community on holidays, using divine spells to treat diseases and dispel corruption for the territory's residents. Most of these aids are free of charge (limited to this one day of rest), but sometimes in order to maintain the operation of the church, they will charge a certain fee, especially when targeting the rich."
Tsk~
After listening, Su Li couldn't help but sigh. It's rare. In this world dominated by despair, darkness, and blasphemy, there is actually such a merciful and kind deity.
Then her fate will most likely not be very good.
Su Li asked, "How did you obtain so many elite knights of the Knights Hospitaller?"
Su Li didn't believe they were caught by their slave hunting group.
There were four elite knights on the stage, as well as formal knights and trainee knights of the Knights Hospitaller. The number was estimated to be no less than a dozen.
If they, a slave hunting group, caught so many, how large would the scale of the Knights Hospitaller be when defeated on the battlefield?
I'm afraid at least a sub-group of the Knights Hospitaller was destroyed.
This is not something a slave hunting group can do.
Steward Kurt did not hide it and explained: "We bought these knights through legitimate sources. Our slave hunting group does not rely entirely on capture. Cooperation with other forces is also an important source for slave traders to obtain slaves."
"As for these members of the Knights Hospitaller, we bought them from vampires. In the southwestern province of the Empire, an army composed of vampires appeared. In order to protect the retreat of civilians, the Knights Hospitaller did not wait for the arrival of the Knights of Morr, and launched a war with the vampire army, losing thousands of knights."
"The vampire counts sold some of the captured knights to slave traders in the city, and we also obtained a batch."
After listening, Su Li couldn't help but sigh, not knowing how to evaluate it.
There was too much information in this passage.
The Empire is really always under the threat of monsters. To the east, there is an invasion launched by the Greenskin Bloodhand tribe, which has already chopped up the allied forces of three dukes. This has made the orc leader Grobag's prestige soar. Orcs and goblin tribes within a thousand miles have excitedly rushed from all directions to join his army, starting a grand wagghhhh to destroy all civilized strongholds along the way.
The Grand Prince Elector of Suderland urgently mobilized troops to meet the invasion of hundreds of thousands of Greenskins.
In the west of the Empire, vampire counts appeared from the mountains again. Su Li didn't even know what was going on. Isn't the main force of the vampires in the hinterland of the Empire, southeast of the West Highlands?
How could an undead army of vampires appear in the mountains of the southwest Empire.
Su Li was even more difficult to comment on the choice of the Knights Hospitaller.
From a sentimental point of view, he undoubtedly admired these hospital knights very much. In order to protect the civilians, even in the face of undead that were dozens of times their size, they bravely launched a charge and fought to the end, buying time for the civilians to retreat.
But from a rational point of view, in this desperate world, their kind and merciful actions will only lead to more tragic and desperate endings.
The death of so many high-level knights, and without the members of the Knights of Morr present, will only provide the vampires with a large number of perfect corpses to summon more and stronger black knights to strengthen the undead army.
Morr is the human god in charge of watching over death. It must be emphasized that he is not the god of death, but the god who watches over death, so that people can die peacefully and without desecration.
His followers are responsible for arranging funerals and trying to let the dead rest in peace, while also doing their duty to fight against the undead.
In this land full of war, disease, and chaos, death is an eternal companion and an inevitable ending. But in many cases, people have no way to truly die.
For example, vampires are one of the threats of death. They pulled the undead who had been sleeping for many years out of the ground again and enslaved them with black magic, which made each summoned undead full of resentment.
And Morr's doctrine is to protect the peace of the dead. They protect the dead. Observe all funerals and wakes.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba.com!
Whenever and wherever they encounter necromancers and undead creatures, they will do their best to eliminate them.
The doctrine requires them to respect and understand the dead and their families. Pay attention to your dreams at night. Never refuse to preside over a funeral. The dead are never allowed to be resurrected unless they have special permission from Morr.
Morr bestows upon every elite knight who believes in him a powerful divine spell [Eternal Rest]. His followers can chant solemn prayers over a corpse to ensure that the soul is sent to Morr's kingdom. This makes the corpse permanently immune to necromancy.
Therefore, after the death of their family members, the citizens of the Empire will try their best to raise gold coins, as long as they have the conditions, to hire an elite knight of the Church of Morr to preside over the funeral to ensure that their relatives will not be disturbed by the undead after death.
And in the army of the Empire, the Knights of Morr are an indispensable existence.
Wherever vampires appear, there will be reinforcements from the Knights of Morr.
Within the Empire, the number of knights of this deity's sect is second only to Ulric, the god of winter. And unlike the churches of the gods Ulric, Redma, and Violet, which are distributed in a certain direction, his church and knights are spread in all directions of the Empire.
If there had been reinforcements from the Knights of Morr, the southwest direction of the Empire would not have deteriorated to this extent.
However, Su Li only thought for a while before withdrawing his thoughts.
Such a large empire has plenty of talents and elites. The number of saint-level knights is theoretically not small. There will always be legendary figures who stand up to turn the tide. He doesn't need to worry about the crisis of the empire.
If he has free time, he should think more about the crisis in his Black Forest Territory. To the north are demon legions that may appear at any time, and to the east are the powerful green dragon and its evil dependents.
When these monsters appear, there are no legendary creatures to help the Black Forest Territory solve them. He can only rely on himself.
So Su Li took a deep breath and said to Steward Kurt: "We don't understand the arrangements of these gods and electors. Let's not speculate randomly. Tell me about these slaves, what are their prices?"
"The four knights of the Knights Hospitaller are priced at 300 gold crowns. The price is a little higher than ordinary bloodline knights, but it is definitely worth the money! This divine spell is worth 100 gold crowns. Any one of their treatments may save the life of an elite knight on the battlefield."
"And during the relief activities on rest days, they can bring a lot of vitality to your territory, so that some people who have lost their ability to work may stand up again..."
Su Li raised his hand and interrupted his endless persuasion.
Now the territory needs them to transport slaves to the territory more enthusiastically and actively, so Su Li will not bargain with him. After they invest enough in the territory, Su Li only needs to reduce the tax rebate by 10% and everything will be turned back.
The early stage is the time to invest. You can't catch a wolf without letting go of the child. Su Li said generously: "Okay, that's the price. What about the other two transcendents?"
