The villain only wants to live a Buddhist life

The sun and the moon alternate, the sunset is gilded like water, and the moonlight hides behind the scenes.

At dusk, when the devil meets the devil, the capital is still crowded with people.

The Griffin Knights guarding the capital joined forces with the city guards to spread the deployment across the entire capital, and soldiers could be seen patrolling almost every other street.

But even so, the disputes among outsiders have not stopped.

Some young knights who had recently joined the Griffon Knights had no idea that their first mission would be "Looking at the Street".

But it wasn't until the mission started that they discovered to their astonishment that "seeing the street" can be so difficult!

Powerful orcs, shrewd philistine goblins, alcoholic and irritable dwarves, magical elves...

Every outsider is not to be trifled with.

Once there is a dispute between people, it is a fierce fight.

The adventurers in the tavern excitedly watched the battle between the city guard and the outsiders, holding up their wine glasses, tearing up the beef, and even ate two extra bowls of rice.

But most of these people who are on the bright side are just here to join in the fun, and in fact they can't cause much trouble.

On the contrary, people hiding in the dark have ulterior motives and are planning many things.

However, as long as people in the dark reveal a little bit of clues, someone will come to visit immediately.

At this time, the battle is often calm and ends very quickly, not disturbing many people.

Ming to Ming.

Dark on dark.

It has always been like this throughout the ages.

……

ducal mansion.

Dark did not return to the bedroom after dinner.

After wandering around the library in the mansion, he came to the viewing platform on the roof, sat on the reclining chair and squinted at the night.

The Duke's Mansion covers an extremely wide area, surrounded by tall courtyard walls, and then embedded in the back mountain.

The area around the courtyard wall, which is still lively on weekdays, was completely deserted today.

Whether it is a private house or a shop, the lights are turned off in advance.

Duck could tell at a glance that the Duke's Mansion had imposed a curfew in this small area.

And outside the courtyard walls, there must be a large number of people patrolling.

Inside the courtyard walls, there are also maids who have arranged layers of blockades.

During this critical period, no one can tell if anyone will be eyeing this place.

Although both Alvette and Claire were busy with their business, they certainly would not let their guard down on their mansion.

"Hope everything goes well."

Dak shook his head slightly, then focused his attention on the book in his hand.

In just a few minutes, Ollie came with a plate and put milk tea and pastries beside him.

After that, Ollie stopped moving, and just stood by quietly.

With the holder of the [Aries Holy Clothes] guarding him, Dak's safety is naturally worry-free.

The night was quiet.

Moonlight pours down.

Peace of mind.

Time passed, and the clock turned a circle.

The night was completely dark.

With a sudden thought, Dak raised his head and looked at a place where flames burst out outside the courtyard wall.

Ollie also came out from behind, looking over with a solemn expression.

Dak couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that there are really people who are not open-eyed and want to attack the Duke's Mansion?"

"Maybe it's just a mistake?" Ollie smiled.

"Let's take a look." Duck lay back and looked sideways.

I saw that the fire continued to blaze over there, and the sound waves became louder and louder. Suddenly, a beam of magic light rushed into the sky, and then bloomed like fireworks.

"Signal light?" Duck wondered.

Oli nodded and said, "It's just green, it looks like it's a friend rather than an enemy."

While the two were talking, the noise over there had subsided, but it could be seen that the specially lit lights were approaching the mansion at a gradual speed.

Dak asked curiously, "It's so late, who will come to visit?"

Ollie thought for a while and said, "My lord duke doesn't have a wide range of friends. Except for classmates from school days and comrades-in-arms during the war, there are not many people who come to visit. Maybe it's the Asian friend she met during the war. Race?"

Dak: "Elves? Orcs?"

Ollie smiled slightly: "It's possible."

Duck stood up from the chair: "Then let's go and have a look."

Oli thought for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible."

Late night visitor, unknown purpose.

She shouldn't have let the young master take risks.

But as the head maid of the Aries Palace Maid Group, she still needs to have the confidence to protect the young master.

But when the two were about to go down, there was a sudden fluctuation like water in the shadow of the corner.

Although not as silent as Chris, Eve's [Hidden Image] is still at a high level.

"Master." Eve stepped out of the shadows and said softly.

Dak smiled: "Good evening, Eve. Is it about the visitor?"

[Latent Shadow Art] The biggest feature is that it can ignore space obstacles and quickly shuttle between complex terrains.

What's more, Eve and Erin have [Spiritual Rhinoceros Art] message, and it's not surprising that they got the message in such a short time.

After Eve heard the words, she nodded slightly, then pointed at the wall, the magic power of her fingertips shone, and a projection appeared on the wall, but it was the visitor and the guard.

Presumably, Erin was walking around there at the moment.

Eve said: "This is the visitor who came tonight. He said he met the young master."

"Did you actually come to look for me?" Dak was a little surprised, and turned his head to look.

The guards in the mansion did not relax their vigilance and surrounded the two visitors in a triangle.

Although it was slightly blurred in the night, Dak still recognized the identities of the two people very quickly.

"The two elders of the God of Knowledge, Aaron Reeds and Aviva Julius, what are they doing here? Could it be that they have solved the problem? It shouldn't be."

Duck couldn't help muttering.

Seeing his confusion, Eve said, "Should I ask Erin to send them away?"

"It's not necessary." Duck shook his head, "Call someone to clean up the reception room, there are guests coming."

Eve nodded slightly and quickly sneaked into the shadows.

Dak waited for her to leave before saying to Oli: "Let's go, let's see why the two of them are here."

Ollie folded her hands on her stomach and nodded slightly.

The night remained silent.

……

The guards outside the mansion were notified by Erin, so they put the two elders of the God of Knowledge into the mansion.

But they were still vigilant, and the two maids who came forward to greet them were also combat maids from the [Lion Palace Maid Group].

Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julius walked side by side. The two elderly people had nervous expressions on their faces.

Aaron Reedus' mental state is very poor, with thick dark circles around his eyes.

Aviva Julius was not much better, her eyeballs were bloodshot.

They have been trying their best to overcome the problem left by Dak these days, but they have been unable to find a clue so far.

However, for the two elderly people with a strong thirst for knowledge, the final result is not important, and the process of pursuing the answer is enough to keep them excited.

At that time, they were completely in a state of concentration without hearing anything outside the window. If someone hadn't suddenly broken into their residence tonight, they would probably not even bother to watch tomorrow's "Execution Ceremony of the Demon King".

But in this world, there has never been an if.

Thinking of the bad news brought by the members of the cult who broke into the house.

The two old people who have been up all night for the past few days can't help but look more and more haggard.

After the two stepped into the Duke's mansion, they raised their heads slightly and looked around while turning their eyes.

The security of the Duke's Mansion was extremely strict. From the moment they stepped into the threshold, countless eyes locked on them.

It was as if, if there was any change in them, they would be wiped out instantly.

They were not in a good state of mind, and immediately hid the last trace of other thoughts.

"I can only ask Dak Dimon."

"From the fact that he didn't shut us out, there is still a chance."

The two old men lowered their eyelids at the same time, hiding the irritability in their eyes.

This will happen to any candidate who is immersed in the exam questions and is suddenly notified that the exam time is up.

……

"Cold, hot, just hot."

In the reception room, Dake picked out a pot of hot tea and poured it into two teacups, then put down the teapot and sat on the main seat.

"What about the young master?" Ollie smiled sweetly.

Dak raised his finger: "Of course I want to be cold, after all my heart is as hard as iron."

Ollie couldn't stop smiling, and poured him a cup of iced lemon tea neatly.

After Duck took a sip, he turned to the corner and said, "Sister Eve, go to the table and drink tea."

Eve stepped out of the shadows, bowed slightly, and sat down on Duck's left.

As a maid, she shouldn't be on the table on such an occasion, but Dak adopted a commanding tone and couldn't refuse.

Ollie smiled and said, "So little Eve, do you want it hot or cold?"

"It's hot." Eve said.

The black tea is poured into the cup, steaming hot.

After Ollie put down the teapot, there were gradually approaching footsteps outside the door.

The maid walking in front pushed the door open, and then four guards quickly entered, stationed at the four corners.

The two elders of the God of Knowledge entered the room under the "protection" of the remaining people.

"Good evening, Master Dimon." Aaron Reedus took a breath, put his hands across his chest, and bowed.

Dake waved his hand and said, "Since it's late at night, there's no need to be too polite. Please sit down, both of you."

Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julius looked at each other, then walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Dake clasped his hands together, put them on the table, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you two?"

Aaron Reedus breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's just that the young master's two questions are too difficult, and I still don't have a clue."

"There will always be a clue." Dak said lightly, "If you are worried about your disciple Ignaz Cooper, then Dak doesn't have to, he is doing well. When you solve my problem, you must I will give you an intact disciple."

Aaron Reedus smiled bitterly: "Since the young master said so... Of course I don't doubt it. It's just that sometimes I want to see that bastard."

Duck took a sip of his tea, smiled and said, "Could it be that's your intention for coming tonight. If so..."

Aaron Reeds twitched his brows, as if he sensed the deep meaning of Duck's words, he said quickly: "Not really. Since my disciple has done something stupid, he should pay for his stupidity. We are another party tonight. Ask for something!"

"Is there anything else you want?"

Dak couldn't help squinting his eyes a little, looking at the two elders of the God of Knowledge Sect.

Completely different from when they first met in the Horseshoe Tavern, the spirits of these two elders were extremely sluggish.

Especially the old lady named Aviva Julius, she didn't have the toughness at that time.

"It seems that what they are asking for may not be small."

Dake thought about it in his heart, and said, "Straight to the point, just say what you have to say."

After Aaron Reedus heard the words, he couldn't help but glanced at Aviva Julius again.

The half-fairy old lady's face was stiff, obviously she was extremely bad at begging for help.

Aaron Reedus had no choice but to bite the bullet, and said by himself: "It's like this, someone from our religious group encountered a formation led by the Valkyrie in the west city of the capital, and they were all arrested..."

"Wait, the members of your sect have been arrested? Then when will you fuck me?" Duck interrupted after hearing half of it.

Aaron Reedus lowered his head and became even more embarrassed: "But the one who caught them was led by the Valkyrie..."

Darke smiled and said: "Elder Reedus, you need to know that the Valkyrie you usually refer to is Alvette San Dimon, the Kingdom's only Duchess, one of the 36 MPs, and the Minister of Security of the Kingdom. Not my mother in particular. I have no right to interfere with her administrative actions."

Aaron Reedus' face suddenly turned pale.

But Duck said again: "Of course, I'm a little bit interested in why your sect was arrested. If you are willing to reveal a little bit, I'm not asking for this cup of tea in vain tonight."

His voice was very flat, and he couldn't hear the so-called "interest" at all.

Aaron Reedus doesn't really think he's interested either.

And he seemed to hear the implication.

Aviva Julius next to him obviously heard it too, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Aviva Julius, who is a half-elf hybrid, is a natural elf-type magician. Cooperating with Aaron Reedus, who is a senior magister, she has the confidence to rival most people.

But in the duke's mansion, they can only lie on their stomachs.

Even if the blond young master in front of her uttered threats in such a straightforward tone, she could only suppress her violent temper to death.

Aaron Reedus also never expected that the two of them were threatened before what they asked for.

I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of the duke's mansion if they don't clarify this matter.

In desperation, he had no choice but to speak after a brief moment of deliberation, "They held an illegal assembly in a house in Xicheng District."

"Illegal assembly?" Duck tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, and said, "If you don't make it clearer, I will be very troubled."

Aaron Reedus added helplessly: "The six elders of our church convened the people to spread the belief in the God of Knowledge..."

Dak interrupted subconsciously: "Wait, six? If I remember correctly, there are only thirteen elders in your church?"

After a moment of silence, Aaron Reedus bit the bullet and said, "That's right."

Dak couldn't help being happy: "In other words, nearly half of your elders were arrested for illegal assembly? No wonder you came to visit late at night. Now that half of your elders are gone, anyone would be anxious. But these six elders of yours Could it be that his brain was kicked by a donkey? To spread beliefs other than 'holy' in the land of the king's capital? Could it be that the holy religion is busy with rituals and has an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

"No, how dare you." Aaron Reedus had cold sweat on his forehead.

Dak continued: "I was lucky to be captured by the Ministry of Security this time. If you were captured by the Holy Cult, you and this Ms. Aviva Julius probably wouldn't be able to sit so peacefully here."

Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julius fell silent.

Apparently both felt the same way.

Dak looked at their reactions, and said flatly: "Even a six-year-old child knows the truth. As a high-spirited person, it is impossible not to know, right?"

A sense of oppression gradually increased in the reception room.

Na Aviva Julius finally couldn't help but said: "They are obsessed with ghosts, but they are not wise. But what we believe in the God of Knowledge is pure 'knowledge', and the so-called 'God of Knowledge' spread is just a fiction. No Faith Contest. Therefore..."

"So what are they doing today?" Duck slammed on the table, stopping her from continuing.

Aviva Julius' tone froze for a moment, unable to continue her sophistry.

Aaron Reedus took the bait and said bravely: "Show the people the importance of knowledge, make them understand the tragedy of ignorance, and the importance of seeking knowledge."

Duck couldn't help sighing, then turned to the left and said, "Eve."

"Here!" Eve shouted suddenly.

Darko wanted Eve to see off the guests, but was startled by her sudden increase in volume.

However, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he did not reveal any flaws.

But Aaron Reedus was also frightened, subconsciously said: "Today may be special these few days."

"Huh?" Duck pressed on Eve who was about to get up.

Aviva Julius' complexion suddenly changed subtly.

Aaron Reedus also looked stagnant, but it was too late to shut up, so he had to continue: "July and a half, in the middle of the year, is the day when the gate of the underworld will not be opened. These days, the relationship between the underworld and the human world The diaphragm is the weakest, and it is most suitable for summoning souls to worship ancestors. And the capital is located in the middle of the mainland. Our Church of God of Knowledge conducts sacrifices on this night every year. We hope that the souls of great people throughout the history can hear our call and give thanks to the members of the church. descended upon him."

After listening to Dake, he really wanted to say "that's it", but he didn't say it in the end, but said slowly: "Have you ever succeeded?"

Aaron Reedus lowered his head slightly, and said, "No. It can't be successful, right? It's just an ordinary sacrifice, and no undead spells were used. And those great men throughout history, no matter how great they were in life, entered the underworld after death. One of the thousands of dead souls. The underworld has the river of the underworld and the wall of sighs. Lingering by the riverside of the underworld for a long time, the spiritual consciousness will be obliterated. Even if you cross the river of the underworld, you can’t pass through the wall of sighs, and you can’t reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. "

Dak couldn't help frowning.

Aaron Reedus' words touched his blind spot of knowledge.

There is no reincarnation in the underworld in this world, there is no bull-headed horse face, and the remains of the soul after death will disappear in the wind, but there is indeed a place for the soul-the underworld.

After all, how does the soul ascend to the underworld?

What form does the underworld exist in?

How true or false are Aaron Reedus' words?

He began to gradually become curious about what the Cult of Knowledge did or wanted to do tonight.
