In the basement, standing in a musty environment, the dragon knight closed the book and rubbed his eyebrows.

The disappearing content didn't take long, and he finished reading it in a few minutes, and he rubbed his eyebrows, of course, not because of lack of energy, but because of his habitual actions when thinking.

If he hadn't seen it today, he really didn't know that there was such a past back then, and this task was not a big problem in essence, it was recorded in the 1972 materials, just like other tasks, unremarkable.

If I have to say that it is unusual, it is probably that the Pope and the Templar Commander set out together.

"Quinn asked me to look at this past, and it must have a deep meaning. Also, what kind of mission requires the dispatch of the Pope and the Templar Master?" the Dragon Knight frowned.

With such a configuration, to do a certain task, it is definitely a big deal.

However, the description of the mission is very common, without too much ink to describe it, and the dragon knight does not remember such an incident in the major events of the Holy See. He wasn't born 48 years ago, but if it was a big event, as the head of the precepts, he wouldn't be unaware.

"The events of February, and then a little more than a month later, Grimm Adolphus inexplicably died. There must be a connection between the two things. ”

But what does this matter have to do with the betrayal of the fallen angels and the blood knights?

The dragon knight suddenly remembered something, opened the book again, and looked at the first half of the mission, the cult used human blood as a guide, refining resentful spirits, and holding some kind of summoning ritual

"Refining the Spirit, Refining the Spirit"

Faintly, he felt like he had captured something.

"Zizi, Zizi"

The incandescent light overhead suddenly made a sound, flickering on and off, and then went out completely.

The basement was pitch black and silent, and the air was filled with musty smells.

call

Bang dang!

A gust of wind blew in, followed by the slight sound of the iron door opening.

The basement that was bright one moment was dark the next, so the dragon knight's pupils temporarily adjusted to the darkness, and it was when the vision was pitch black.

Someone came in, taking advantage of the gap between his "blinding", to the basement.

"Bang!"

The sound of palms in the darkness was heard, and the furious qi machine swept through the basement in an instant, the iron bookshelves toppled over, and the paper exploded.

"Humph!"

It was the dragon knight's cold snort.

After palming each other, his pupils adjusted to the darkness, and he saw a vague figure standing not far from him.

"Forbidden!"

The dragon knight didn't say a word, and played a spiritual power to imprison the opponent's dantian.

He is a spiritual power awakener, and his cultivation is the orthodox forbidden spell of the Holy See, and the secret method exclusive to the precept group. There are a total of nine kinds of spell seals, which can block the qi, the spiritual power, and the body's qi and blood.

The opponent's luck blocked it, and the forbidden technique made of spiritual power still successfully entered the dantian, but the other party was also a master, which offset a large part of the forbidden effect.

That's enough.

The dragon knight stretched out his left hand, and the qi machine wrapped around the iron bookshelf beside him, compressing the steel into a long spear shape, and the scorching qi machine instantly scalded the steel like a soldering iron, refining a sharp war spear.

He came to the database to check the information, of course, he would not carry a weapon with him, and it was not necessary in the first place, as a dragon knight of the Holy See, how could he be ambushed at the Holy See headquarters?

In the face of such an accident, I had to make a weapon on the spot.

The dragon knight was extremely fast, and his figure seemed to teleport in the darkness, appearing above the black shadow's head, and the war spear stabbed down.

Although he is a spiritual power awakener, he has a deep attainment in fighting skills, he and the Blood Knight have studied fighting skills under Quinn's seat for a period of time, and the two often compete on weekdays.

The Blood Knight is the first person in the Holy See's fighting skills, a great master in melee combat, and a terrifying existence that kills the half-step pole path with three punches.

"Dang!"

The crisp sound of iron colliding, the explosion of sparks in the dark.

The opponent drew his weapon to block, using the most ordinary knight's sword, not a magic weapon. Every artifact of the Holy See has a record, and the use of the artifact is tantamount to revealing one's identity.

The dragon knight once again played a forbidden technique, this time sealing the opponent's qi and blood, which was the same as the previous forbidden technique, which did not cause much hindrance to the opponent, but also made his body stiffen, and his moves appeared to stagnate.

"Smack!"

He slammed his palm into the chest, knocking him out of the way and hitting the wall with a muffled cracking sound. At the same time, the dragon knight's spear had been thrown, nailing the man to the wall.

The spear was cut off by the opponent's sword, and the opponent retaliated and threw the knight's sword.

While the dragon knight dodged away, he heard the iron door clang, and the other party took the opportunity to escape.

He chased out of the basement, followed the breath of the other party, and came to the archives, where he found the young administrator lying in a pool of blood at the reception counter.

A flash of anger flashed in the dragon knight's light brown eyes.

Out of the library, the other party's breath passed towards the living area, and the dragon knight clenched on.

The other party was very smart, and after entering the living quarters, he did not blend in, but turned around halfway and went in the direction of Cathedral No. 2.

The dragon knight chased after him, and as he approached Cathedral No. 2, he suddenly lost the aura of the other party. He pursued it a little further and saw that the council chamber by the cathedral was brightly lit.

Pushing the door open, the Pope was discussing with the crowd, and there were twelve cardinals in the hall, the deputy head of the Knights Templar, and the heads of the major sections.

When they saw the dragon knight hurriedly pushing in, they were all taken aback.

Cardinal Archbishop, Cardinal Archbishop, who is currently the head of the College of Cardinals, frowned and said, "Dragon Knight, what's the matter with you?"

The dragon knight stood in the doorway, covered in silver armor, with bright blond hair and a tall figure, the light shone on his cold face, and the whole person's temperament pressed everyone except the Pope.

He did not answer the cardinal's words, but frowned in contemplation.

The unknown assassin would not have been able to escape from under his nose without special escape skills, and if he had, he would have been lost when he left the archives.

Most likely, that guy is hiding among these people.

"Doing things right under my nose, even if you are a half-step pole, I will find out for you. The Dragon Knight snorted inwardly, strode into the council chamber, and reached out to hold down the Knights Templar's vice-leader, Messer Oliver.

"Let me see your chest. ”

The audience was all weak chickens, and the first target of the Dragon Knight was Messer Oliver. Only he, the top S-level, is qualified to have a few moves with him.

Messer Oliver looked at him blankly and said, "HY?"

The dragon knight ignored it, his fingertips swiping, cutting the clothes on his chest into rags, revealing Messer Oliver's hard-boned pecs.

Not him?, the dragon knight frowned.

"Everybody, take off your clothes. The dragon knight said loudly.

Everyone was stunned.

The cardinal asked again, "Dragon Knight, what are you?"

"I was assassinated in the archives, and I came here after the aura of an assassin, and I lost track of him. He received a slap from me, and he couldn't erase the wound on his chest for a short time. "Dragon Knight said.

"Do you suspect that we are assassins?" in the council room, everyone understood, and their faces changed slightly.

"Suspicion that we are assassins when we are something. ”

"So you tore my clothes because you thought I was an assassin? Kyle, you're too deceitful. ”

"It's just arrogant, to suspect us of being assassins in front of the Pope. ”

To them, the suspicion of the dragon knight was indeed insulting.

"Your Majesty, the stakes are high, please let them cooperate. "The dragon knight doesn't talk nonsense, and directly asks the Pope.

The Pope sits on a high place, he is used to it, the pope of this generation is not "close to the people", since the Dragon Knight joined the Holy See, the impression of him is that four words are high.

"This is the end of the discussion, you stand down first, I have something to say to the dragon knight. The Pope's voice was flat and inviolable.

The dragon knight frowned slightly, since the Pope had said so, it was not easy for him to refute.

The people were gone, the door was closed, and only the dragon knight and the pope were left in the council chamber.

"Did you notice something? The Pope asked.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the dragon knight felt that his gaze was particularly sharp, and he pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, I think the blood knight's betrayal of the Holy See is not so simple, the blood knight is loyal, dedicated his life to the Holy See, and will never betray." Today Me"

He detailed the events in the database with the notes left to him by the Pope, including Quinn Adams.

"I see. The Pope nodded, "So, do you want to know the truth back then?"

The truth of the year

Met the Pope's calm gaze, the dragon knight nodded.

"I dealt with a cult rebellion with Grimm Adolphus, in which the leader of the cult summoned the evil god," the Pope said, "It was a very terrible master of the Extreme Dao, I united with Grimm and entangled with it for a long time, Grimm was defeated, the original god was defeated, I fought hard to kill it, and returned to the Holy See with Grimm." But when he was being treated, he was unexpectedly discovered."

After a pause, the Pope said in a deep voice, "The evil god is not dead, it is lodged in Grimm's body. I couldn't get rid of it even though I tried my best, and more than a month later, at night, Grimm was controlled by an evil god and infiltrated my dormitory to assassinate me. But he underestimated my strength and was countered by me. ”

The dragon knight's pupils constricted, is this the inside story of Grimm Adolph's sudden sacrifice? Thinking back to the unusual part of the mission to encircle and suppress the cult, and the Pope's words, everything is reasonable.

No wonder the Pope and Grimm Adolf need to join forces, because the other is a pole.

"After consulting with Quinn Adams, I put Green Adolphus in purgatory, and kept him under strict supervision. But we still underestimate the evil god, who did not leave the Holy See with Adolf and remained hidden from us. ”

It took a long time for the Dragon Knight to digest this astonishing news, and he stared at the Pope, "Why don't you make this public?" ”

"It's not that simple, evil gods will deceive people's hearts and lead people to depravity. When I first came back to it, many people in the Holy See had already been bewitched and depraved. So over the years, I have been watching from the sidelines and secretly investigating. The most important thing is that we have to find out who he is. Otherwise, the symptoms will not be cured, and the grass will startle the snake. Even the best friends on weekdays may slowly decay in the dark. ”

"The last cardinal was a degenerate?"

"Yes. The Pope nodded, "The evil gods are eager for the powerful primordial gods, and the fallen people of the Holy See refine the fallen angels in order to satisfy their desires." Now I know why I didn't track down the Extreme Yin and let Pace be refined into a fallen angel. Not long ago, I sensed the breath of a fallen angel and thought the time had finally come. ”

"Blood Knight!" the dragon knight Kyle snorted softly.

"You finally understand, yes, the evil god resides on the Blood Knight. He lurks around us as a loyal servant of the Lord, as one of the two knights of the Holy See. ”

"There are still his henchmen in the Holy See?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll investigate it myself. The top priority is to catch the Blood Knight, he was injured by me last time, and it will be difficult to succeed in a short time, but if he continues to cultivate and build momentum, it will become a big disaster in the future. ”

The dragon knight clenched his fist and pressed it to his chest, "Your Majesty, I understand." ”
