In the far northern territories, the long-raging blizzard finally stopped, and the long-lost sunlight tore through the lead-like clouds, bringing warmth to this snow-covered land again

In Stormwind City, the soldiers, under the leadership of the commander, began to clear the snow that had been accumulated for many days one by one, and the training ground was once again lively

A large number of newly recruited recruits, under the leadership of the instructors of the veterans, are constantly doing all kinds of combat training, and their unfamiliar movements will attract the scolding and beating of these veterans from time to time

The business district has also begun to get busy again, and the caravans that have been trapped by the blizzard for a long time have begun to pack their bags, even if the roads outside are still heavily snowy, they can no longer wait, and it has become their instinct to take risks in order to make a good profit

Dressed in a black coat, Anthony led several punishment knights to patrol the entire city as usual, and the rapid expansion of Stormwind City's military strength in recent times made him feel very good, and invisibly, the depression caused by several things some time ago was also much better

Anthony looked at the screaming bear children running in all directions, a rare smile on his face, and a slight knock on his heel, the unicorn hissed happily and ran forward

At the same time, Anthony's voice was heard from afar to the other knights

"Let's go and see our new friends go ......"

**********************

In the civilian area, outside a very inconspicuous single-storey wooden house, a young man with red hair and a linen robe with a sunny appearance sat on a stone bench on the side of the street, holding a book with a somewhat worn cover

There were dozens of children of different ages gathered in front of the young man, and if you looked closely, there were even some adult men who were hiding outside the crowd...... If it weren't for the fact that there were several heavily armed Punishment Knights nearby, this picture would definitely feel very warm

“…… In the end, because of the kindness and bravery of the young man, he was given nobility by the merciful king, and the princess was betrothed to him, and the two lived happily and steadily in the kingdom from then on......"

Slowly closing the book, the young man asked the children in front of him with a gentle smile, "Okay, this is the end of the story of the warrior and the princess, so do any of you want to be like a teenager?" ”

"Yes!"

"Of course, I want to be a nobleman too"

"We all want to be like that, honorable Uncle Kane!"

The red-haired young man was none other than the rescued Kane Hugh Lancelot, the rising star of the former Church......

Standing up and clapping his hands gently, Kane motioned for the children to be quiet, smiled and said, "It's good, but what qualities do we need to be like this?" Did I say that in the story? ”

"I know, I know, well, brave, loyal, unyielding and ...... And...... Whining! A little Lori who rushed out first, but in the end, she couldn't think of a complete answer, and she cried in a hurry

"It's forgiveness...... My baby! Squatting down and gently hugging little Lori, Kane used his fingers to help her wipe away her tears, as if by magic, he took out a small piece of cheese from his body, stuffed it into the child's hand, and touched the other party's little head before standing up

"Okay, let's all disperse, just listening to the story but not enough to eat, go back to help your father and mother do more work, if it's okay at this time tomorrow, Uncle Kane will continue to tell you new stories!"

Holding the heavy book in both hands, after the last child completely disappeared from sight, the smile that had always been on Kane's face disappeared at the same time, and he said lightly without looking back

"You're going to scare the children, Lord Anthony, the head of the Knights of Correction."

"No, don't compare your experience to this city, no kid here will be afraid of us, and you're wrong, I'm just the deputy head of the ......"

With his hands behind his back, Anthony led someone out from the back of the house next to him, without the slightest embarrassment and dissatisfaction on his face, and walked two steps away from Kane, Anthony stomped on the snow stuck to his boots and spoke

"How's it going, does the plain and simple life make the former Templars, pious priests a little boring?"

"On the contrary, I am very happy here, these children have redeemed my gray heart, they have made me realize that there is not only sin in this world"

Turning around, Kane's handsome face had a hint of confusion on it, "With all due respect, Lord Anthony, I'm afraid you're not here just to watch me tell stories to children!" ”

"Story?" Anthony pointed to the book in Kane's hand with some amusement, "I don't think there will be stories of commoners and princesses in the church handouts......"

"The habit I developed before, I always feel more at ease when I have a book in my hand, and besides, when the children see this, they will also work hard to learn literacy, and the props have no impact on the story itself!"

After being said thoroughly, Kane didn't care, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and explained a few words casually

"Kane, can we sit down and talk? It's a great day and I love the feeling of the sun on my face! Anthony didn't care whether it was clean or not, and sat down directly on the stone bench where Kane had just sit

"I guess I'd better stand, I don't think there's anything else to talk about before with you, Lord Anthony, I can swear with my life, everything is what I told you before, you don't have to arrange for someone to watch me every day, I have nowhere to go but Stormwind now......"

Kane, who thought it was another routine inquiry, was a little impatient no matter how good his temper was, and it would not be a happy thing for anyone to always have a few knights around him every day

"Don't worry Kane, I'm just just trying to talk to someone today, I've heard you talk about forgiveness before...... I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to bring up your sadness, but I just wanted to know, will you also forgive the culprit who got you to where you are now? ”

Anthony asked with some curiosity, the young man in front of him always had a feeling that he couldn't fully see through, which was why he always found an excuse to come over and talk

After a few beats of dust that didn't exist on his body, Kane's face flashed with struggle, hesitation, hatred, and relief, and he exhaled a long breath of white mist, looked down at Anthony and asked seriously

"Do you have faith, Lord Anthony?"

Without any hesitation, Anthony nodded heavily, "Every knight of punishment has only one faith, and that is our master, Lord Leo, and beyond that, there is no one or anything else worthy of our following!" ”

Kane's face was complicated, and he looked at the determined Anthony with some envy, and then looked down at the familiar book in his hand with self-deprecation

"Well, I can answer your question, now that I have lost my faith, if I have experienced such a despicable betrayal and witnessed the darkness of the church, hehe......"

His breathing gradually became heavier, Kane's pupils turned red from congestion, and he turned his face to look in the direction of the imperial capital and roared fiercely

"Forgiveness? No! I have lost the right to possess these good qualities, and now Kane Hugh Lancelot is no longer a puppet of the Church, but a warrior of vengeance, and I will keep this book as a reminder to me that one day I will overthrow the Church with my own hands, so that all those who have been deceived like me can see how dark it is beneath their hypocritical and benevolent surface! Filthy!! ”
