Even in the heyday of the church's power, there were still some people with magical talents who hid outside the church's control and were not caught in the magic academy. Driven into contact with the source of tainted magic, they fell into madness, and some people found reliable teachers in time and learned to cast spells.

This kind of mage who is not under the jurisdiction of the church from the beginning to the end is called "wild mage". Compared with the free mage who "graduated" from the magic academy, they do not have an environment where they can study quietly and a large collection of books that can be browsed casually. Weaker, but the magic operation and actual combat ability are several blocks away from the academics, because they may have to hide their names all their lives, hide in Tibet, and spend their wits fighting the Templars who hunted them down.

Any mage has a terrible impression in people's minds, but wild mages have a particularly bad reputation. Since they are already wanted criminals, they have no worries, and are more likely to use their own power to do evil, or study some things that the church prohibits. magic, such as necromancy. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia·History"

Palos no longer bothered to ask why Evandel took a walk so far away from the village. He stared at Basil closely: "Do you know what you are talking about? Defection is an unforgivable sin, if Get caught by the law enforcement team and you will most likely be executed."

"If you want me to stay in the church, I might as well die!" Basil said viciously, "Why, as a loyal lackey of the church, do you want to arrest me for the law enforcement team and go back for trial?"

"I don't have the power to arrest people for the law enforcement team, but you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Palos also wanted to persuade him to turn around, "If it is not implemented, the sentence will not be too heavy."

"Stop being hypocritical, pretending to be a good person, you are just like your mentor, you are a butcher for the benefit of the church, even if your hands are stained with the blood of innocent people!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Palos couldn't bear him anymore, and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, "Take back what you just said, no matter what kind of grievances you have with me, it has nothing to do with Kent, you are not allowed to do this Slander my mentor!"

"Why are you pretending to be innocent at such a time?" Basil sneered, "Aren't you Kent's most proud disciple? Don't you really know nothing about what he is planning? Then you should know, Church Corruption has been rampant inside, and the reputation is getting worse and worse. When people mention the church, they no longer think of light and justice, but horror, blood, brutality and tyranny. In order to launch a natural disaster of the undead, sacrifice countless innocent people to force people to rejoin the Light God Sect because of fear."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Palos didn't believe a word of Basil's words. He said in a stern tone, "No matter what kind of dissatisfaction you have, you can't openly desecrate our faith like this."

"Faith? Ha!" Basil laughed loudly, "Evandel is here, why don't you ask him, what is the 'Ball of Life' for?"

The topic was brought up to the mage, but Evandel ignored their dispute, and just looked back in the direction of the village silently.

Phils also set up an awning and looked over there: "I seem to hear some commotion in that direction, did something happen?"

Evandel sighed softly: "I thought that the only target they wanted to eradicate was me, but I didn't expect to underestimate their cruelty and unscrupulousness. Natalie saw that the Knights Templar... were slaughtering the village."

"...It's impossible!" Palos didn't believe that such a thing would happen.

"Unfortunately, things are just as Basil said, so they want to kill all the insiders, especially me." Evandel looked at Palos and said, "They will come after them at any time, I have to go, you want Stop me?"

He had a good impression of this young Templar before, and he also believed that Palos should have been kept in the dark about this matter, but Evandel didn't think that a person who had believed in something for more than 20 years since he was a child could rely on him alone. A few words from an outsider can make the other party change their views, so he has secretly prepared offensive magic. If Palos really wants to stop him, he will act first.

"I can't just believe your one-sided words." Palos frowned and said, "But I also believe in your character, there must be some misunderstanding, I will go to my mentor to check, you guys leave here first !"

As he spoke, he crossed Avandel and ran towards the village without looking back.

The mercenaries were immersed in the carnival, and their tongues were so drunk that they were not at all defensive when they saw the Templars coming. Instead, they seemed to see shiny gold and silver coins waving to them, and some even cheered Toast them with a wine glass, which of course was strictly rejected, the Templars were not allowed to drink alcohol.

After Lafazzi and Kent finished speaking, Herris, the mercenary captain, went forward: "My lord, I don't like to beat around the bush, please forgive my directness, have you brought our reward yet? "

"Of course." Rafaqi said without changing his face.

"Great!" Herris turned around and raised the beer glass in his hand high to his subordinates, "You heard it, we will be able to share the money soon! To the Knights Templar!"

"Yahhoo!" The mercenaries cheered one after another. Amidst the noisy cheers, Herris couldn't distinguish the sound of the sword being unsheathed behind him, until the sharp blade in the hand of the Templar Knight pierced his back from behind. On his chest, Herris, who was so drunk and unresponsive, hadn't realized what happened. He looked at the blood-stained sword tip on his chest, his expression of astonishment froze on his face, and he only struggled to let out a few breaths from his throat.

Rafazi's action was the signal. All the templars in the hotel drew their swords and attacked the drunken mercenaries. The mercenaries who were caught off guard were unable to organize any effective resistance at all. The ground became a ghost under the sword, and the hotel owner and receptionist screamed in horror, but then the piercing sound disappeared because the throat was cut by a sharp knife.

Rafazi ordered loudly: "Burn this village and don't let anyone go."

Soon, there were screams in the village.

The Templars were very efficient, not to mention that their opponents were only drunkards and unarmed civilians who couldn't tell the difference.

When Palos came back, the village was bloody, and the Templars were doing the aftermath - disguising the scene as if it had been looted by bandits, and some houses were set ablaze, with smoke billowing and flames rising into the sky .

Several Templars ambushed around the village with hounds in advance, waiting to attack those who escaped from the village, to ensure that no one would slip through the net. They glanced at the armor on Palos and did not stop him from entering. village.

The tragedy in the village made Palos unbelievable. The hotel was already on fire. Kent and Rafaqi stood on a slope not far away, watching the Templars under their command set fires everywhere.

Palos was so shocked that he forgot the proper etiquette: "Kent, and Lord Rafaqi, what's going on, what are you doing?"

"Ah, look who's here." Rafazi's expression was so calm that he didn't look like he had just finished a bloody killing, but rather like he was fishing leisurely in the afternoon full of wine and food, "We What are you doing, isn't it obvious at a glance, does it mean that your mentor didn't tell you anything?"

"Master Rafazi!" Kent yelled anxiously, and then said to Palos anxiously, "Don't talk, I will explain to you later."

"How do you explain, what did these villagers and mercenaries do wrong? You used the honor of the Templars to guarantee that you will pay after the work is done, and you just paid your reward like this?" Palos looked at Looking at the mentor I have always respected like someone I don’t know, “I just heard a very serious accusation from Mr. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I can't believe that you can actually do such a thing!"

"Oh?" Lafazzi leaned forward, staring at him with piercing eyes, "Where is the mage?"

"Answer my question first." Palos stared back without any fear, "Is his accusation true? You went to find the 'Life Ball' to launch a natural disaster of the undead and restore the church at the cost of countless lives. Influence?"

Kent shook his head, and said anxiously: "I'll explain later, tell him where the mage is going, it's very important!"

"Tell you so that you can hunt him down?" Palos has realized from Kent's evasive attitude, I am afraid that these things he is unwilling to believe are true, "How many times has he saved us along the way?" , not only did you not pay the agreed reward, but you also killed him?"

"Interesting." Lafazi sneered, "Kent, this is your best disciple? It's really interesting that he defends a mage so righteously and denounces our plan."

"Master Rafazi, I believe this is just a misunderstanding." Kent looked even more anxious, and he desperately winked at his students, even pleading in his tone: "Palos, now is not the time to argue about this, Please, think about what I told you before."

"So this is what you call a 'test of faith'?" Palos felt chills on his back, and he could no longer comfort himself that this was just Kent's confusion and the fall of a small number of Templars, "I understand that sometimes Right and wrong are not as simple as they appear on the surface, but I absolutely cannot agree with the 'justice' achieved by breaking my promises and killing innocent people!"

Rafazi said lightly: "According to the original words of the leader, there can only be two kinds of people who know the mission this time, 'your own' and the dead. Lord Kent, since you are so loyal to carry out the leader's instructions Order, I think you will not be partial on this issue. Since your disciple has clearly stated his position, let us not waste time here. You guys, go and kill this apostate, and the others will follow me Come, before that mage goes far!"
