Today's castle hall is particularly lively.

Although only Simon and Agnes were invited to the banquet, Duke and the three vassals were the only ones who accompanied them. But helplessly, the movement of these two people eating was too big.

Duke looked at the two of them dumbfounded with the spoon.

One of them swept away all the desserts that were served, none of them could last more than three seconds before being pulled to her dining place, and they kept urging the kitchen to hurry up and get new desserts, and not to move a single bite of other food.

The other requirement was relatively simple, just meat, and in the early morning it was called for roasted lamb shank, roast venison and roast chicken, and the wine was drunk like a bad wheat wine, and two fist-sized cups were drunk in one gulp.

If the identities of the two of them were not really confirmed, Duke would 100% suspect that the two daring hungry ghosts had come to cheat and cheat on food and drink under the guise of the Holy Maiden.

Whoever eats breakfast is this way!

"Hiccup...... I said that your duke is too cold, and the dishes come and go, and he is not as delicate as a viscount in the imperial capital. Agnes burped indecently, wiped her little mouth, and began to count Duke.

If it's not delicious, don't eat so much!

A certain cold duke took a deep breath, silently recited the forbearance scripture in his heart, and squeezed out a smile and said: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is gentle and humble, kind and kind......"

"Eh, you're a big noble, you don't need to be polite to you, you don't need to worry about those empty heads. Agnes waved her hand carelessly, adding a few more veins to Duke's forehead.

Vlavich saw that his lord and the Holy Maiden were about to start to fight again, so he hurriedly came out and changed the topic: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I don't know what your next itinerary is, so we can continue to arrange." ”

"Well, when we first started, we did come in a group of ten or twenty people. Agnes picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and then put it down with a frown, "But they were too slow to travel, so Uncle Simon and I ran to Connaughton first." ”

"What? You've been to Connaughton Territory!" Duke looked at her with some surprise, she was addicted to trespassing on private territory, how could she do such a thing.

The cultist altar that Duke found was just below the castle where Baron Rhine lived, and it was now supposed to be his private property, but it had already been walked around by two people in such a silent way.

The expression on Agnes's face was not a little ashamed, and she pouted indifferently: "It's as shabby as your castle here, if it weren't for the order of the church, I wouldn't have been able to enter it for the rest of my life, and you should feel honored now." ”

"And what did you get out of it?" asked Joseph before Duke and Agnes could get into a mouth.

Speaking of business, Agnes's face finally had a serious expression, she thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, the ritual arrangement of the entire altar and the use of sacrifices are very low-level, and there is no need for someone of my level to investigate this matter......"

When Duke heard such an opening, he felt that something was going to happen, and it was estimated that there would be a burst of ridicule and ridicule.

However, he didn't expect Agnes to change his words and say: "However, this saintess is not an ordinary person after all, and she still sees some differences. ”

She pulled out a black bead the size of an apple from her sleeve, causing the temperature of the hall to drop in an instant, and an indescribable filthy force began to fill the surroundings.

"Eh, I'm not honest!" Agnes raised her eyebrows, and the faint white light of her right index finger lightly touched the center of the bead, instantly making all the discomfort disappear.

"Look at this thing, it's the magic core of the monster you killed, and of course ordinary people can't find this kind of thing. Agnes pinched the bead and shook it in front of Duke's eyes, and said with some smugness.

Duke discovered that the bead had been suppressed by Agnes and had turned into a nearly transparent bead with a cracked pattern.

A cloud of black gas that seemed to have life rampant inside the bead, but it couldn't shake the shell of the bead at all.

He had to admit that there was indeed a specialization in the art industry, and only professionals could do it. After he and Lenia defeated the monster, they only found the wreckage all over the ground, but did not find the magic core, and the most valuable thing was probably the cultist's notebook.

"Is there anything special about this magic core?" Duke looked at the beads for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal, so he could only ask the saint for advice in confusion.

Agnes smiled and said, "I saw it just now, does the energy released by this bead when it is not honest make you feel a little weak and unwell?"

Duke thought back to what she had just felt, and found that it was indeed as she said, and that what he had thought was a physiological reaction from normal people coming into contact with dark forces now seemed to be otherwise.

And Vlavic, Joseph and others nodded in agreement.

"That's right, this special effect is the energy of the Plague Counsellor, one of the 'Ten Calamities' that belongs exclusively to the 'Church of the End'. Agnes said as she retracted the bead into her sleeve.

The Church of the End?

Ten plagues?

Plague Strategist?

Duke's mind couldn't turn for a moment, and Agnes's short words contained a huge message.

After a period of mending, he already knew what were the cults in this world that were opposed to the Church of Light, and the Church of the End was the most powerful of them, and the other so-called cults were nothing more than cats and dogs in front of them.

Unlike the Church of Light, which resists erosion, preaches light, and shines in the battle to help the countries of the continent seal erosion. Instead, the Church worships erosion, believing that the so-called erosion is nothing more than an inevitable process of world development, and that after erosion encroaches on the world, a new order will be reborn in the ruins of destruction.

And the existence of these disciples is to accelerate the process of the world reaching the final "end", complete the restart as soon as possible, and let life be liberated from this world as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Church of the End is working against the Church of Light from its fundamental doctrine to all values, and the key is that they really borrowed a powerful evil force from an unknown place, and eventually developed into the number one opponent of the Church of Light, creating all kinds of sensational disasters on the mainland.

Therefore, from the standpoint of ordinary people, the Church of the End is an out-and-out cult, and when submitting the report to the church and the imperial capital, Duke only had some speculations about the cult rituals performed by Baron Rhine, which was now confirmed by Agnes.

And that was all Duke could learn about the Church of the End, and it was the first time he had heard of the so-called Ten Calamities.

"Ten Calamities...... What is it?"

With the roll of Agnes' eyes, Duke spoke his question.
