"You dare to refuse the orders of the church?"

The young priest's eyes were cold, and he couldn't help but be furious, although the status of the church was not as good as that of the Dark Age, but that meant that the great nobles and great forces needed to be restrained, not to mention a powerless commoner, even if it was a low-ranking nobleman and knight, he had to show respect for the priest who represented the Lord of Light and the church.

And Karl's attitude towards him was not only disrespectful, but also faintly disdainful, which immediately angered the young pastor again and again, and he originally wanted to persuade and induce this person to take the initiative to go to the church, but now he couldn't help but sneer, and scolded: "It is really a heretic, and he has no reverence for the Lord and the church." Take him!"

The silent knights on either side suddenly pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, stepped forward, and approached Karl.

"Rose badge?"

Karl couldn't help but stare at it, noticing that on the chests of the two heavily armed knights, a small rose branch surrounded by the emblem of the Holy Cross, was engraved on their chests.

This is the symbol of the Guardian Knights of the Glorious Church, although they are not the core armed forces like the five Knights of the Holy See, but the Guardian Knights are the backbone of the Church who are responsible for guarding the cathedral, protecting the clergy, and maintaining the bright order in the diocese.

Under normal circumstances, the knights of the cathar are in the cathedral to guard the important places of the church and His Excellency the archbishop, and rarely go out in their spare time.

Now it was just to invite Carl to cooperate with the investigation, but two Guardian Knights were dispatched at once, which suddenly made Carl feel unusual danger.

"Always be ready!"

Carl whispered and decisively activated the "Knight's Mark".

In the next moment, the weakness that belongs to man fades, and the thoughts that belong to steel solidify.

Cold reason, deep in the bone marrow, iron will, through the body and mind.

Silver with a metallic cold glow, with an extremely cold blue, appeared in Karl's eyes.

Rational, fearless, ruthless, sincere, persistent!

Carl's temperament changed instantly, from a slightly weak teenager with a full bookish atmosphere to a cold and hard warrior with a metallic cold light and extremely cold temperature.

Karl's instantaneous change stimulated the two cathar knights to enter the battle mode at the same time.

"Bang bang!" two sounds, the cathar knight's long sword was unsheathed, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Carl, who exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Karl, who has entered the state of "loyal knight", has cold and hard eyes, and his iron will gives him a heart as hard as a rock, extreme concentration gives him precise control over every muscle and every nerve in his body, and his lifelong belief in fighting for the cause of human progress gives him a fearless and fearless mentality.

Rotten, backward, stubborn!

With a fearless attitude, Karl looked down at the two Guardian Knights. After entering the state of "loyal knights", Carl realized the true strength and danger of these two knights.

The two knights of the cathar were silent, the breathing method of the Holy See's glorious fighting spirit was like a ripple rhythm on the surface of the water, their breathing, heartbeat, pulse, and even the contraction of muscles and the dilation of pores were all unified under an undulating frequency fluctuation, and the ripples of light merged with their bodies into a perfect and harmonious whole, constantly accumulating in every breath, every heartbeat, every pulsation, every muscle contraction, and every pore relaxation, little by little to strengthen and temper the strength of the flesh.

Karl couldn't find any flaws and loopholes to exploit in the bodies of the two silent cathar knights, whose muscles flowed like lead and mercury, and their muscles that were constantly tense and stretched were like bowstrings accumulating huge kinetic energy, and with just one thought, they could instantly burst out with extremely strong power.

This is the first time that Karl has come into direct contact with the power of the knight, and the knight is indeed worthy of being the perfect fighting machine made by a mage, and it is worthy of being the strongest class that occupies the dominant position in the world, and the strength of the knight is a comprehensive strength, a balanced power, and a power without significant weaknesses.

Karl didn't know what the bloodline power of the two cathar knights was, but it was obvious that their control over their bodies had reached an extremely high level, and the Holy See's secret "Bright Ripple" fighting qi had perfectly fused with their bodies into an impeccable whole. Such a balance is strong, and it can no longer be defeated by looking for weaknesses, but can only be defeated by frontal strength.

At this moment, Carl was deeply aware of the background of the Radiant Church, and deeply understood why the Radiant Church was able to overwhelm the knight class in one fell swoop and firmly occupy the dominant position of the continent after the collapse of the Magic Empire.

Just ordinary guardian knights can learn such a profound Douqi secret method as "Bright Ripple", and at this point, it is far better than taking the family as a unit, regarding the family's Douqi secret method as the supreme secret, and never passing it on to the nobles and lords.

It's no wonder that half of the seventeen strongest knight "divine skills" in the continent come from the Radiant Church.

With faith as a bond, as long as you join the Radiant Church, swear to renounce worldly power and interests, sincerely believe in the Lord of Radiance, and pledge allegiance to the Radiant Church, you can be accepted by the Church with an open mind and generously grant profound knights to practice the secret method.

As long as you believe in the Lord of Radiance and practice the Radiant Fighting Spirit, it is a subtle strengthening of the belief in the knight's cultivation process, so the Radiant Church has never worried about the contemporary rebellion and depravity of the knights under its command, and it is not worried that the Radiant Fighting Spirit will threaten the Radiant Church after the cultivation secret method of the Radiant Fighting Spirit spreads.

In fact, the Radiant Church welcomes knights to practice the Radiant Church's cultivation secret method, and it is almost openly spreading the Radiant Knight's cultivation method, the most common and well-known Dou Qi secret method on the continent, in addition to the general knight secret method of the imperial army created in the era of the three empires, is the holy fighting spirit of the Radiant Church.

Although the wide spread of the Radiant Knight's secret method has also given all opponents the opportunity to study and crack the Radiant Fighting Qi, the Radiant Fighting Qi has also been polished more and more perfectly and without flaws in the struggle between cracking and counter-cracking again and again.

Today, the Radiant Church's knightly secret method may not be the most destructive, not the most lethal, not the most combative, but the most balanced in comprehensive strength, the least flawed, and the strongest in combat adaptability.

And in the first battle between Carl and the official knight in his life, he saw the balance and difficulty of the guardian knights of the Glorious Church.

With the same breath and the same blood, the two cathar knights stepped on a unified rhythm, like a bowstring gradually unhurried, approaching Karl step by step.
