Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

A dead body is not a beautiful work of art. If it is not a necromancer with a unique taste, most of them will not appreciate it, so Yalan and Etjaye quickly retreated.

Thanks to the years spent in the laboratory of the Great Priest, Et Gaya can still say with a normal face: "Obviously, he died unexpectedly."

"You are right. There is no fundamental physical difference between dwarves and humans except for their height, so it cannot be some kind of rare disease unique to dwarves." Yalan said, wanting to sigh very much, but still held back, "and Judging from the characterization, I'm afraid I have to judge that this belongs to an undead spell."

Etjaye turned his head and looked around exaggeratedly, as if he could pick out a murderer from the crowd in the next second.

Then he managed to amuse the stern-faced priest.

Yalan pulled Et Gaya's hair to make him turn his face back, and said with a smile: "Don't look, can't you really dig out a murderer from a certain wine barrel?"

"It's really unimaginative. It might be in the breastplate of a female mercenary." Atgaya pretended to be serious.

Probably because of successive incidents, he became a little numb after experiencing too much, with the sleepy laziness of an elderly person, and he couldn't jump three feet high with enthusiasm like when he first became a knight. Investigate now.

Apart from joking, Etjaye lacked a little passion, but the vigilance and rigor in his bones were still there. His eyes confirmed the surrounding environment one by one, and ruled out that the perpetrator was hiding in the most dangerous and safest place - the scene of the crime. possible.

"Don't you think necromancers have become some kind of bad street profession recently?" He looked away, "Why do I feel that the death-type spells are like enlightenment education suddenly added, and there are people everywhere. A three-year-old girl who asks for sweets is probably a necromancer!"

On the contrary, Yalan was more thoughtful than Et Gaya, who was born in the dark. He said: "The undead spell is actually quite simple from the beginning, isn't it? Although death is mysterious, it has always been in people's lives. Its spell The basic principles are no different from arcane spells, so scholars have separated the undead spells from the dark divine spells and recognized them as an independent series of spells."

He paused, thought about the words for a while, and said, "A lot of undead spells are indeed suitable for doing evil."

The reason why necromancers were spread so badly was due to their own factors. Most of the visual effects of necromancers were unbearable, and if we carefully summed up the history, necromancers were not lacking in people who were kind to people, and even some were used to cure diseases and save people. Undead spells were invented and spread widely, but counting those mages who made big things, almost all have something to do with undead spells. Although dark spells are more terrifying in theory, after all, dark spells strictly belong to the category of divine spells. , Divine magic is based on faith, thank God this thing of faith is not Chinese cabbage on the street, you can buy it if you want.

"Here, I agree with the views of the scholars in the Temple of Truth. It is indeed a mistake to classify necromancers as divine arts."

"Wait, are you discussing whether undead spells are arcane spells or divine spells? This is not my area of ​​expertise. What I am more concerned about is that the Knights of the Kantanaroa Temple in the Holy White City have all retired and returned home to farm. Is it?" Etgaya almost didn't hold back his voice, but fortunately the surroundings were in a mess, no one listened carefully to what he said, he tried to suppress his voice and said, "Or, the knights of the Makino God can only dance now, Throwing the Temple Creed into Midsummer Night's Fire for firewood?"

"Aren't you a dark knight?" Probably the atmosphere wasn't serious enough at the beginning, Yalan unwittingly digressed, his focus fell on a strange place, "A dark knight from the orthodox Shadow Moon Temple... …Even if you can’t go back for the time being, you probably don’t have a good impression of the Kantanaroa Temple, the undead hunter of the Holy White City, right?”

Etjaye seemed to see the naked druid: "... How is it possible, didn't you see that I was questioning their vegetarian diet? Those Kantanaroa Temple Knights, known as the Holy White Knights, are not dedicated to fighting against the undead. Is the spell my own responsibility? Now I am starting to wonder where the money sent to Kantanaroa Temple by various countries goes every year, so that... Oh my god, look at the front of my eyes, the responsibility of the Temple of Light is heavier than theirs, but Now that the high priest is running errands in person, what about the Holy White Knight? There is only one word difference between the Holy Knight and the Holy Knight, but why is it so much less reliable?"

"I'm investigating annihilation believers. Heresy is not in the list of duties of the Holy White Knight, but... I agree with another point. I believe that the Knights Templar will always prepare everything in the first place." Yalan's expression and There is no difference in his own praise, and he seems to have temporarily abandoned the neutral attitude he should have as the high priest of the supreme god of light. He should treat the beliefs of other gods equally, but at this moment Yalan said very frankly to Et Gaya , "At this time, I hope that the Kantanaroa Temple Knights will never come. I am afraid that they will lose their minds and be the first to catch Kevin."

"...It seems that we have one more thing in common, we all hate Kantanaroa Temple." Et Gaya nodded with satisfaction.

——One of the ways to quickly increase the relationship is to find a target that you don't like, and then talk bad things together.

Born in Shadowmoon, even if it wasn’t a priest or a dark knight, he didn’t have any good impressions of the Kantanaroa Temple. The holy white knights in history once held spears and blood-stained banners, and made prisoners with magic silver that can burn life. cages, and escort all those who they think are "contaminated with immoral spells", including not only the suspected caster himself, but also cover-up, sympathy, and even the toothless grandma that the casters haven't seen in decades. Almost only one in ten escaped their iron grip and were brought alive from their cages to the Inquisition.

Unfortunately, the Temple of the Shadow Moon mastered the most advanced undead spells and dark magic at the same time, so there is no need to elaborate on the past of these two temples.

After experiencing countless historical lessons, Kantanaroa Temple's behavior style has converged, and Shadowmoon Temple has finally got rid of some prejudices. At least now, if an undead spell caster holds the emblem of Shadowmoon Temple, Kantanaroa The sub-templar knights will no longer stab you a few blood holes without asking indiscriminately.

But this still does not prevent Shadow Moon from continuing to hate them.

Even some scholars believe that although the Temple of Kantana Loa is specifically responsible for hunting down improper spellcasters, when it comes to what spells can be judged as improper, as well as the identification and disposal of such personnel, the Temple of Light and Shadow The Temple of the Moon God is actually much more professional than them.The holy light is the nemesis of the undead, and the kindness and justice upheld by the paladins and priests of the light make them less affected by prejudice and stereotypes, and Shadow Moon needless to say, after all, they have a more profound grasp of the undead technique.

But it's a pity, just like the Temple of Light must be mentioned first when mentioning the Holy Light, the Temple of Kantanaroa still has absolute power in the business of hunting down necromancers, and for this temple, the image is not very important. Anyway, they don't need to rely on believers for food.

When Yalan and Etjaye returned to the camp, Kevin's reaction to this incident was very vivid, which was very in line with his identity as a necromancer. This shadow moon priest with firm belief mentioned the Holy White Knight as if he had been gagged. manure.

Not to mention him, even the fire mage Anleil didn't have a good impression of the Holy White Knight.

Kevin even pulled his hair and said to himself: "Silver Heart Fortress is the king's capital of secret arts and a paradise for spellcasters, so if Kantanaroa Temple wants to get involved, it has to be a man with its tail between its legs... If there is another holy white knight who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, I will definitely dismantle him and make a specimen!"

"Calm down, Kevin." Etjaye had to pat him on the shoulder, "We are blaming them for not doing business. The reason why they are suddenly mentioned is precisely because there is no news that they will come."

"You still hope that they can't come? Those stupid knights have spent all their energy pestering innocent people! How can some idiots who can only solve problems violently tell whether a spell is evil in nature? For example, the visual effect is horrible" Phlebotomy' was actually invented as a medical treatment, not as they take it for granted, to drain the blood of victims alive to drink! And many truly dangerous, soul-torturing spells have physical effects It has no characteristics, and it can’t even be seen from the face that this person’s soul is being tortured!” Kevin was still pulling his hair, “What do the Holy White Knights know? They only put people’s brains into iron cages, I hate surveys. Temple of Tanaroa!"

Yalan quietly asked Et Gaya: "What happened to him?"

Etegaya suppressed a smile and replied: "As he himself said, Kevin was stuffed into an iron cage by the knights of Kantana Loa in the early years. Terrible times too, for the pity-filled faces of those holy white knights said he was 'a lost lamb bewitched by an evil mage,' and tried to save his soul."

Look at the golden robed and arrogant Shadowmoon Priest, and think about that magical rhetoric, and how he created the kind of "I am a weak little white flower that needs to be saved" to the Kantanaroa Temple Knights Wrong impression?

Yalan couldn't help laughing, "Then what happened?"

"The result was very simple. I led a group of mercenaries disguised as dark knights, and went to the gate of Kantana Loa Temple, and told them that if they don't let them go, they won't be mere little knights. They I will accept the kind greetings from Priest Siyue himself." Atgaya twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to make that smile not look so mocking, but it seemed that he failed, recalling that memory, Etgaya seemed to stick out his back. Tail wagging, he said, "Of course, I lied to them, Lord Helena wouldn't attack a temple for such a thing, he would say, 'It took all your brains to be captured by the Holy White Knight Are you going to use slices of the death banshee as a mask? Don’t say you are my student. If you are a student like you, I would not dare to meet the dark lord even if I am dead.”

Etjaya imitated his teacher so vividly that Kevin heard their conversation in a low voice, and his complexion instantly turned like gold paper.

It seems that is indeed a very bad memory.

Yalan even comforted him: "Okay, the reputation of the Kantanaroa Temple has been improving in recent decades. They have already passed the barbaric age when they would rather kill by mistake than let go. No one will make a mistake. right?"

"Come on, when I was young, I still liked to dye my hair purple to show off. What is it called, black history! Black history will always be black history, and it can't be changed!" Kevin snorted, with an extremely bad attitude.

As soon as this incident happened, the Silver Heart Fortress became even more turbulent. There were rumors about the assassin encountering the temple. It is said that the assassin entered the Holy Light City from the direction of the Silver Heart Fortress, and this time the Silver Heart Fortress itself had trouble. The jam outside the city was even darker.

The cold spring has not receded, and the valley began to rain lightly, making people's mood even more depressing.

The family of the Duke of Catilla, who guarded the Silver Heart Fortress, has guarded this place for hundreds of years. For a while, the glory of this family was questioned. Although there were no accidents for hundreds of years, big things happened when they came out.The royal princess of the empire was suspected of being kidnapped. Princesses are also a very risky profession these days, but this is the first time their princess has been involved in Oslant as one of the best empires on the continent.

To make matters worse, the Temple of Light, which has the most faith in the entire continent, was also attacked by assassins, and it was even rumored that the high priest was seriously injured, which made the reputation of the Silver Heart Fortress even worse.

"But how could the temple allow the rumors of the assassination of the high priest to fly around?" Kevin has been pulling his hair since early in the morning, those soft-looking flaxen hair-it's hard to imagine that they were dyed purple.

Etgaya and Yalan, who went out to inquire again, just came back. Hearing Kevin's question, Yalan said, "I suggest you think about the present first."

"What?" Kevin asked.

Etjaye took a deep look at him, and said slowly: "The medical officer of Yinxin was unable to find out the cause of death of the two dwarves. What's worse, three more suspected 'infected' people were found, and two of them were already dead. Dead, a dying man, the scholars of the Sanctuary of Truth in the city believe that this may be some kind of plague-making spell, Yalan and I have seen it, and we think so."

"...Plague is an undead spell." Kevin said dryly.

"That's right." Et Gaya nodded, "Galaxy Fortress also felt the same way, so they contacted Kantanaroa Temple."

From Kevin's expression, Et Gaya read a sentence:

"It's okay for you to mention the Temple of Kantanaroa, you crow mouth!!!"
