Of course...... If something is wrong, you can also say it.

"The Church of Pure Darkness?"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the six people sitting in the reception hall couldn't help but change.

Being targeted by the eerie Church of Pure Darkness would be a terrible disaster for anyone.

"Yes, just as I was returning here, I met five members of the Pure Darkness Church. They seem to be coveting something from you, but before they can ask anything, the curse on them has killed them. ”

Roland nodded, telling the truth what had just happened.

In the current situation, even if it is concealed, it will not be beneficial for him, it is better to throw this trouble to the people of the Knox family.

"I should know what those guys want...... Pesso, gather all the guards, and head to the secret place on the second floor. ”

"Calvin, block all exits, and inform the gods of this."

“………………”

Suddenly, the momentum on Duke Knox's body changed abruptly, he stood up from his chair, and said lightly.

If a moment ago he was a dying old man, now this old man is a lion who has woken up, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body.

Although he couldn't see the aura on Duke Knox's body, Roland was sure that this old man's level was at least seventy.

When all the orders reached Pesso's ears, the men left, and in the blink of an eye, only Roland and Duke Knox were left in the hall, looking extremely deserted.

"Baron Roland, if you don't mind...... You can come with us and see what's going on there. ”

The majestic old man turned back and asked softly to Roland.

"Well, okay, Duke Knox."

Roland was stunned and agreed to the invitation.

But to his surprise, this Duke of Knox didn't seem to be worried at all about his stuff being stolen. Because the old man's expression looked more like he was angry that thieves had invaded his house than he cared about the thieves trying to steal from him.

"Then come with me, Baron Roland......"

“…………”

After Roland agreed, Duke Knox led him alone in the direction of the second floor.

I have to say that Roland hadn't noticed it when he first walked to that courtyard.

But now, when he left to go to other areas, he was surprised to find that the size of the house was so huge, it was like a miniature version of the palace.

However, on the way to the second floor, some heavily armed guards could be seen guarding all the entrances and exits of the house until it was confirmed to be Duke Knox.

Led by Duke Knox, after a few minutes, they found the location of the staircase.

"Baron Roland, I would like to ask...... What did the gods call you for? ”

But just as he was about to step up the stairs, the Duke of Knox abruptly turned back and asked him about it.

As he spoke, a faint glint of longing flashed in the old man's eyes.

"It's just that the gods asked me to go down and look for something...... Duke Knox, what's so strange? ”

Roland smiled slightly, looked at the old man in front of him, and said.

He wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth of the mission, and since Calfley didn't let the Knox family who enshrined him do it, there must be a reason for it.

For example...... The god Calfley no longer believes in the Knox family.

Of course, this is only Roland's unilateral speculation, and in the absence of any evidence, it does not prove anything.

"Hehe, I see...... Looking for something? ”

Faced with a perfunctory answer, the old Duke Knox answered lightly, did not continue to ask, turned around and continued to walk up the stairs.

Roland didn't have any doubts about this, and followed him closely.

"Ahh

But just as they were halfway up the stairs, there was a seeping scream from the second floor.

"Baron Roland, we need to hurry up......"

When Duke Knox heard this, he couldn't help but take Roland to speed up his pace and walk towards it.

Knock knock, after a while, the two of them came to the place where the screams were made on the second floor, and when they looked closely, they saw that a door was closed, and there were several corpses of guards lying on the floor in front of the door.

Merely...... This came as a surprise to Roland.

Because the corpses of the guards on the ground died in the same way as the members of the Pure Dark Church, turning into black dried corpses, as if they had been robbed of life by the dark forces.

And the place where they were was the same place that Roland had first explored when he entered this mansion with his Quiet Spiritual Ability.

"What's going on?"

Duke Knox glanced solemnly at the closed door, then looked at the corpse on the ground.

"Lord Duke, we saw a woman approaching with a black mist coming from her...... And then they became like this. ”

After seeing Duke Knox, the guards who were standing on the side hurriedly described what they had just encountered, making it sound like the return of the devil from hell.

Suddenly, the guard standing aside hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice, "There are still ...... Master Calvin had already chased after him. ”

"What! Baron Roland, you can wait a moment now, and after I go in and deal with those guys, I will take you to select the information you want. ”

Hearing this, Duke Knox couldn't help but change his face.

After his face changed a few times, he threw a sentence at Roland, and then he was alone, with his cane, pushing open the closed door with one hand, and slowly walking to the other side of the door.

When the old duke entered, there was a bang, and the door closed automatically, as if an invisible force was pushing it.

"The breath of darkness? Wrong...... It was a corrupt aura similar to that of the god Calfley......"

Roland stood still, looking faintly at the reclosed door.

Since Duke Knox had asked him not to get involved in it, Roland had no intention of entering it for the time being.

Unless he intervenes, he can be rewarded handsomely.

But the moment the door opened, he felt a familiar aura, exactly like Calverly's.

"Baron Roland, what about my father?"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from beside him.

Looking back, I saw that the panting Peso had come to a place not far from the door.

And there was a team of more than a dozen guards behind him, and it could be judged from the momentum on their bodies that these guards were much stronger than the guards guarding in front of the door, probably around sixty levels.

"Lord Pesso, Duke Knox and Lord Calvin have entered the ......"

"What, no...... You have to go in with me, and you must not let my father enter that dangerous place alone. ”

Hearing the guards' answers, Pesso's face immediately appeared anxious, and he hurried in the direction of the gate.

"Lord Peso, the Knox family can't afford to lose you, the task of protecting Lord Knox will be left to us, you can wait here with this baron."

But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the guards he had brought behind him.

"Okay...... The father's safety must be protected. ”

Pesso glanced at the worried guards and nodded helplessly, agreeing to this mention.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen heavily armed guards opened the door and entered the strange-looking room.

In the blink of an eye, only he and Pesso were left outside the door, as well as the corpses of several guards. Perhaps intuitively, he looked at the gate and felt like all of them were going to die next.

What's hidden inside this door?

Just when Roland was puzzled, a task message prompt popped up in front of him:

[Ding, trigger the quest "Rescue", enter the inside of the door, and save Duke Knox. 】

[Reward: Randomly draw 1 purple king card.] 】

Rescue mission?

Roland couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he looked at the mission information.

I never expected that the task would pop up at this time, and it was accepted by default.

"Hey, Pesso, what's hidden in there? Maybe I can help you. ”

Roland hesitated for a moment and whispered to Pesso beside him.

Now that he has accepted the mission, he is going to enter to protect Duke Knox, and a purple king card is still quite tempting. Confusing.

It's just that he needs to know more about it before he goes inside.

"It's a secret that the Knox family has been keeping for a long time, and I don't know much about it, except that it is related to the arrival of the god Calfrey."

Perhaps Pesso was worried about the safety of Duke Knox inside, and did not hesitate to say what he knew.

When he reacted, he hurriedly looked at Roland vigilantly: "Baron Roland, what do you want to do?" ”

"No, it's nothing, it's just the idea of being inside to protect Duke Knox."

Roland frowned, if what was inside was really related to the god Calfley, then according to the last time the Pure Darkness Church summoned the evil gods, what was hidden in it was definitely not simple.

And...... Duke Knox could really be in danger.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bypassed Peso in front of him and walked in the direction of the gate.

"No...... You can't go in there! ”

Seeing this, Peso couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly blocked in front of Roland to prevent him from taking half a step.

"Alas...... Pesso, I sense that Duke Knox is in danger, have you really decided to stop me? ”

Roland looked at Pesso, sighed, and said.

In an instant, the expression on Pesso's face changed, and his suspicious eyes kept looking around Roland.

Eventually, he nodded with difficulty and compromised, "You can pass, but you have to take me with you, or I won't believe your nonsense." ”
