Chapter 10: The Green Boy (Part II)

"A pillar of light has fallen! This is new information. Kevin pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is there anyone else in the village who has witnessed the celestial phenomena, can you please come over and ask us about it?" ”

Ah Jin shook his head, "There are not many people in the village, and no one can see it better than me." ”

Kevin didn't mind: "In that case, I won't bother." He sniffed again, "There is a smell of herbs, there are patients in the village?" Can I help you? ”

Ah Jin hurriedly waved his hand: "It's all a small cold and cold, just take the side medicine, and I won't work with the priest." ”

Kevin nodded: "That's fine, it's not easy to come to the village so far away, I'll walk around the village, praise the glory of my lord, and pray for the blessing of the village." ”

The old machete bent to the ground: "Father, you are so merciful. ”

After the priest had walked around the village for a week, he said goodbye to the crowd and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Duchamp rushed over with two large pockets, "Father, one bag of bread I made will be left for you to eat on the road, and one bag for your friend who loves to eat." ”

Kevin looked at the hill-like paper bag: "This, it's too much!" ”

"Not much, not much, I didn't keep you for dinner, I just neglected." The old machete's waist bent deeper.

When the young priest walked away with two large bags of bread in his arms, Duchamp still stood at the entrance of the village and waved vigorously: "Father, bread is not delicious when it is cold, remember to beat it in the microwave." ”

Turning his gaze from the village, the priest's feet suddenly picked up speed and walked straight towards the wilderness. He walked into an open field, looked around, and asked strangely, "What about people?" ”

The clouds in the sky were suddenly blown apart, and an airship emerged from the clouds and lowered the landing pad.

Kevin jumped onto the landing pad, and the airship immediately retracted the landing pad. The two ladies were waiting in the airship, and one of them, dressed as a nun, greeted him cordially: "Kevin, it's a good thing. ”

Kevin smiled and said, "It's not hard, people have given gifts." ”

"So, what information can be recorded on this trip?"

"According to my observations, the people in the small village just now were the ones who killed the sheriff of Wheat Field Town and robbed the prisoners, and they casually placed the tactical guide of the search officer on the windowsill, and it seems that they do not know how to do it. Most of these people were local Northlanders who were very devout to the church. They saw the change of the stars in their entirety, and some of them said that the starlight fell to the earth, forming a white pillar of light, just a few steps away from them, and they were so oppressed that they could not get up, and only when the starlight disappeared did they regain their mobility. ”

After hearing this, another lady dressed as a knight couldn't help but ask expectantly, "Can you sense your stigma?" ”

Kevin shook his head and said, "The whole village has seen it, and there is no sense. ”

"That's weird! Why did the power of the stars manifest for no reason, and it still fell on the side of these ordinary people. ”

Kevin pondered it carefully and said cautiously: "Although I didn't sense any divine power from the place where the starlight fell this time, for some reason, now I suddenly feel a peace in my heart that I have never felt before, as if a future calamity has been eliminated. ”

When the nun heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Maybe this starry night is the goddess's blessing to you." ”

The nun looked at some of the facilities in the cabin and said, "The astrolabe is also unresponsive. He told the pilot, "Go back." ”

On the way back, the two ladies didn't speak, staring at Kevin non-stop.

No matter how strong a person is in his heart, he can't withstand this kind of pressure, but fortunately, Kevin has always been thick-skinned, and he laughed and said, "Two sisters, do I have flowers on my face?" ”

The female knight suddenly stood up and shouted, "Kevin Graham! ”

Hearing such a formal salutation, Kevin hurriedly jumped up from his seat and said in a loud voice: "Chief Knight, Cadet Knight Kevin Graham is on duty, may I ask for any instructions." ”

The nun on the side was also standing on the side at the moment, and for some reason in her eyes, there were some moist tears on her purple pupils.

The female knight also had excitement hidden in her expression, she stretched out her right hand to Kevin, slowly turned it over, and showed Kevin the object she was holding in her palm:

"In accordance with His Holiness the Crown's will, Kevin Graham, when you are able to complete a task independently, enter the training of the Probationary Guardian Knight, and now, take this star cup pendant and wear it on your chest."

Kevin suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he stared blankly at the pendant with the sacred star cup pattern in the female knight's hand, and the blood gushed all over his body. His throat, which was not yet obvious, twitched a few times, and he tried to say something, but he could not pronounce a single syllable. In his heart, what he wanted to say was: "I have just passed the examination of the probationary knight!" ”

"Kevin, to pick it up means supreme responsibility, and of course, you can also refuse. Now, make a choice. The knight urged.

"I, of course I will not refuse my responsibility. Sister Ain, Sister Lufina, I will cherish it well. Kevin gathered his excitement and solemnly took the pendant from Ain's hand and hung it solemnly on his chest.

A smile of relief appeared on Lufina's face. Ain said to Kevin, "This celestial phenomenon means a lot to the church, the goddess has not come for 500 years, maybe it was her will last night to bring together the sleeping twelve guardian knights." The responsibility of the Knight of the Grail is to protect the order established by the Goddess, which means that there must be a great and difficult challenge ahead of us. You have awakened the stigmata at the age of 14, and your future is limitless, and you will be the guardian knight of the church in the future, and you will be equipped with a special squire knight and support team, and this airship will also become your exclusive landline, I will personally teach you, so that you can pick up the burden as soon as possible. ”

Kevin nodded vigorously and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will work harder in the future, and I must reach the level of a guardian knight as soon as possible and take my due responsibility." ”

Ain nodded in satisfaction, turned his head, and suddenly changed a smile on his face, and said to Lufina: "Look, this little ghost doesn't look cynical in his usual life, but when he gets serious, it's very surprising. ”

Lufina also had a smile on her face, looking at Kevin's eyes, she unconsciously carried a layer of maternal brilliance.

After a full day of flying, the airship crossed the continent and arrived at its destination, the Codex Kingdom of Altria, heading straight for the House of Aster, a welfare facility in the Codex Country.

"Alright, you guys get off the airship here, Liz is waiting for you. Abbas and I are on a trip to the northeast of the continent. ”

After watching the chief knight's car fly away, Kevin suddenly became cheerful: "Sister, let's go quickly." ”

Rufina couldn't help but laugh.

The House of Aster, which is their home, as well as many orphans.

A little girl with red hair and purple eyes rushed out of the house, and after greeting the two, she immediately cast her attention on the large paper bag on Kevin's chest.

"Thank you so much for bringing so much bread."

"This is a baker who gave it to you, and by the way, he also said that if the bread is cold, put it in any oven and beat it."

Lisi blinked and her eyes widened: "What does it mean to hit a dozen?" Bread doesn't have to be hot to be delicious, such as this kind of hard-shell bread, it has a special refreshing feeling when it is cold, and behold, even the sauce is ready, it is really sweet and delicious fresh peach honey sauce, with it, it is simply a delicacy in the world. Lilith took a bite, and her eyes flashed into the little star: "What's the name of this baker?" I must thank him well! ”

"Ding!" Duchamp, who was in the midst of a bread battle, suddenly threw down the spatula and burst out laughing.

"The crust bread you made with peach honey sauce has been approved by Lis, a mainland food expert. Gain +1 Cooking Completion for your Great Success and gain 50 Achievement Points. ”

The two of them hadn't said a few words when the communicator on Kevin's and Lufina's waists rang at the same time.

"Lise, take care, we're leaving."

"Really, I'm leaving." Little Lori was unhappy and awkward.

"I'm sorry Lis, HQ is calling me."

"I'll definitely bring you better snacks next time." Or Lufina understands her sister's needs and priorities.

The situation is urgent, and on the other end of the portable communication terminal, the squire knights are passing the news one by one:

"Headquarters ordered that no matter what mission is being carried out, immediately suspend the mission and return to the team."

"There is a state of emergency in the canonized province, and all information heard must be kept strictly confidential."

"The Cardinal will convene a meeting of all the knights at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The mysterious astrological aspect in the early morning of June 19, 1195 in the Qiyao calendar was finally recorded in the canon by the Qiyao Church as a "miracle appearance". The changes that Dream Night has brought to the continent include the discovery of some children with some hidden abilities, the mutation of several magical beasts, the eruption of volcanoes in the north-central part of the continent, and many changes that have yet to be discovered.

For the Holy See, the biggest impact is the defection of Wiseman, the priest of the canonized province who was already under close surveillance, and Wiseman was previously investigated and secretly monitored by the Church because he was suspected of having deviated from his faith. And his choice to flee at this time is also suspected to be related to the "dream night".

After Wiseman's escape, the Knights of the Star Cup, who had been under him, exposed him, and the church discovered that the illegal behavior of the former priest Wiseman was much more serious than imagined, and not just simple dereliction of duty. After investigation, the special investigation team found that during the period when Wiseman was in charge of the Holy Province, he had repeatedly entered the secret space where the ancient relics were kept in the Holy Province, secretly studied those forbidden areas that were not allowed to be involved by the Church, and began to premeditate the Church's research results on ancient relics since a few years ago.

The worst discovery came from the testimony of the Knight Lufina Jargent, who believed that Wiseman had leaked the Church's research to the newly emerging occult Society 'The Snake of the Body' several times before.

After an urgent investigation by the Knights of the Star Cup, conclusive evidence of Wiseman's collusion with the mysterious association "The Snake of the Devourer" was discovered, and at this point, His Majesty the Supreme Ruler of the Church personally ordered that Wiseman be declared a "foreign law" and should be cut off if necessary.
