Book IV, 57: Side Quest – Recognition of the Knights of St. John's

A small number of people pay attention to the sound that rings again.

[Note: You gain all access to the area of the underground passages covered by the Forbidden Spell - Divine Purification Demon Seeking Ritual].

[Note: In this passage, due to the existence and support of the forbidden spell - the effect of divine purification and demon retrieval, unless the maximum amount of damage to the forbidden ritual is reached, any ability you use will be completely negated when it touches the edge of the ritual's protective layer].

[Warning: Energy, skills, and bloodlines with negative attributes will be weakened by varying degrees depending on the exchange price of evolution points in the area covered by the forbidden ritual - Divine Purification Demon Seeking Fan].

Without waiting for Chen Xi to finish reading the system's prompts, Gu Bernard said with a relieved heart for them: "Don't worry about meeting a particularly difficult object in the passage, as the world we live in, because it is fundamentally different from the hell environment, the more powerful the existence in it, the higher the price it will cost to enter our world, and the greater the degree of weakening after entering."

Probably, he also knew that it was a very excessive requirement to let the noble and glamorous witcher drill the dirty sewers, and if you think about it in a practical place, you can understand that as a kind of extraordinary person with extraordinary abilities, it is not at all like some bloody plots, there are obviously many ways to make money, and they still have to worry about how to eat enough, isn't this an insinuation that their IQ is problematic.

So after being relieved, Gubernard immediately began to emphasize the responsibilities and benefits.

"That's why the aliens who invaded wanted to create fear, chaos and killing, and they wanted to make our world more suitable for the advent of powerful beings. And then we will continue to deepen this situation until we have assimilated our worldly realm into hell. ”

"You see that the Gates of Hell are in a quiet state at the moment, because it is not the worst time for the situation, we still have a lot of people patrolling and surveying all over the passage, but with the opening of the festival, the problem of lack of manpower will really come to the fore, and there will be a large number of people who have nowhere to live in the tunnels, and that is when we are most troubled."

"If the series of events that happened in March were really planned by the aliens, then. They will inevitably take advantage of this best of times. Let a large number of companions from the depths of Hell smuggle from here. ”

"But do not be afraid, after binding to your soul, you can already borrow the abilities contained in the Knights of St. John's Order, which have been infused by the will of the great Knights of the Order and the blessings and prayers of thousands of pious people. It can give your weapons and attacks a purifying power. It can also shelter you from a certain amount of negative energy and mental influence. Weaken the actual effect they cause. ”

"Your Excellency, how are we going to use it?"

Chen Xi sought advice.

It was a crucial question, and he tried to feel it when Gubernard said the second sentence. It was found that as Gu Bernard said, the badge contained a huge amount of vast and surging positive energy, but when he wanted to mobilize, only a small reaction came.

A meager amount of energy that could make one cry out of the badge passed through the badge and gathered on the surface of the body.

Chen Xi estimated that he touched it, and the degree was lower than when he picked up a ping-pong ball with his mental hand.

Glancing at Chen Xi consciously, Gu Bernard straightened his face and said: "After the influence of those noble wills for many years, all the holy emblems are contaminated with a bit of spirituality, and they already have a specific tendency, and the amount of their internal energy stimulation corresponds to the level of belief and will of the wearer about the righteous cause, but everyone's experience is different, and the things to adhere to are also different, which requires you to continue to explore and choose this, until you find the most suitable path for you. Translate it into an unwavering concrete concept and then, shout it out! ”

When Gubernard said this, his expression became sacred and sublime: "This is also the follow-up test of the Knights of St. John to every knight who has joined in the past, and only those who truly understand their inner path can unswervingly go on." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the system sounded again.

[Hint: You have obtained the approval of the Knights of St. John in the side quest exclusive to the witcher faction, which requires you to unearth a Faith Slogan that can greatly stimulate the huge energy in the Holy Emblem, and after completing it, you will gain the trust of the Holy Dukes and related forces while getting the approval of the Holy Emblem, and increase the Faction Points by 10].

At this moment, Chen Xi was more surprised by the meticulousness of the bloody mode, and even the opening of each step of the task would be reminded, which was not at all comparable to the crude three modes in the trial task, and he regretted that Benin did not come in together, if this guy was there, he must have shouted the slogan of [Love and Justice] at this time to stimulate the energy of the Holy Emblem, because this setting was simply tailor-made for him.

"It's a pity that the two of us didn't enter at the right time."

Unlike what Chen Xi thought in his heart, the reaction of the other evolutionaries was to stare at Gu Bernard and the more than twenty people he brought.

Clear-eyed people know that the activation of the Holy Emblem is related to the difficulty of the next task, not to mention the reward of 10 faction points, and these people who can be called seniors in front of them undoubtedly have practical experience that can allow them to quickly complete the task.

Putting what he thought was the most enthusiastic smile on his face, the thick-skinned ones had already begun to put on these people, shouting affectionately with various titles, asking for advice on how to better stimulate the Holy Emblem.

This continued until they closed the gate again, returned the same way, and appeared on the ground, all the time seemingly having forgotten about another important figure in their immediate leader, Yucente.

"If time permits, I'd like to ask you more about it."

"Where do you live, if you have time, I'll come by myself"

"Until today, I didn't know that an organization like the Holy Communion is the pillar that keeps humanity stable and prosperous, and I would love to know more about it."

The words of friendship and the implicit compliments almost made Yucente's side seem extremely cold.

It's not that they don't know that this captain obviously belongs to a strong man, and he actually manages the urban management troops to which he belongs, but after all, the situation in front of them is that there are more wolves and less meat, there are more than 200 competitors here, and the target is only about 20, and it is too late to go, but there is no chance to ask for advice.

"Okay, after the previous experience, I think everyone should understand what the nature of the work they are doing now, I don't need to say more about other precautions, you have all experienced it before, so I will only say the last few words."

Coming to the training ground, where there were no others, Yucente said to the people gathered on the side: "There are still two days before the opening of the festival, and in these two days, I will not impose any restraint on everyone, and you can do whatever you want except to adapt to the working environment and familiarize yourself with the terrain of Fieldland by taking advantage of the position of the chengguan." I have only one request, two days later, I want you to be where you should be and do what you need to do. ”

"I don't care what your previous identity was, once I find out that you are half-hearted, even if one of you has been favored by the Holy Father, I will let him know the way, and there will be a kind of end that will be more tragic than entering hell, I will say this, disband!"

However, when most of them dispersed and rushed to ask for experience, Chen Xi stayed, and he followed Yucente into the building again.

In fact, there are more than a dozen people who behave the same as him, all of whom feel that it is hopeless to seek advice and find another way out, but in the end, he is the only one who enters Yucente's office, because Chen Xi clearly knows the difference between himself and others, and he is the only one present.
