"Thank you, Lester."

On the way back to the knight's training center, Ral, who was limping, couldn't help but say this to Lester, who was holding him.

Leicester. Carter, who graduated from the same class as Ral, is also a teammate of Lanks. Carter's adopted son.

The upper echelons of the church, in order to dedicate a qiē to the 'he' of the faith, were not allowed to marry and have children.

Therefore, the vast majority of high-level officials will adopt a child like Lanks, and they will teach their own qiē to each other as if they were their own son.

Of course, not everyone would do this, just like Ral's uncle, the current pope of the church, who has a younger brother, did not choose to adopt other children, but provided all kinds of conveniences for Ral.

If I had to say who was responsible for the personality that Lahr is now, it would be the Pope.

Although he often blames Ral, he doesn't know why, every time he vows to change his ways, within a few days, he will change back to his original state again.

After a long time, the Pope will not bother to care, anyway, as long as he reigns for one day, it is impossible for anything to happen to Ral, and when he is old, the other party has already cultivated all kinds of treasures to the point of self-protection.

As a result, after the Pope and Ral's father gave up discipline, Ral's personality began to deteriorate.

At first it was just self-confidence, then pride, and finally arrogance......

A good swimmer can still drown, and his strength has not reached the real peak, what qualifications does he have to be proud?

For Lahr, many people are actually unhappy. This is also the knight who has taken so many vacations in the dessert shop before. But in the end, he stepped forward to intercede. But Lester was alone.

Lester is a good friend of Ral's, and the two have played together a lot since childhood.

However, don't be deceived by the illusion that you're hello, you're good, you're good. Carter's adopted son, Lester, is obviously not a good person.

Like his adoptive father, Lester has his own desires. Hopefully, he wants to be stronger. It is a pity that Lanx, who was only the bishop of a certain region at that time, had no right to transfer the treasures of the church, so in order to make himself stronger, Lester set his sights on Ral.

Deliberate friendship, unintentional flattery, and unwavering support after each reprimand......

Lester's every move. All of them are planning for their future, even Fang Cai. He was only trying to get himself a higher place in Ral's heart, so as to deceive the other party into obtaining the Holy Stone that he had recently received from the Pope.

No! It can't be considered a fraud, how can it be said that it is a fraud if both parties are willing?

Lester smiled humbly, he was simply a natural actor, he was clearly thinking about evil plans in his heart, but his face only showed the brilliance of a saint.

But......

"If I were you, tear off the mask now and be yourself, otherwise, you won't have a future at all."

The words of the boy who defeated Lal in the dessert shop filled Lester's heart with doubts.

He knew that his true nature had been seen through, and not only the boy, but Lester's adoptive father, Lanks, had also seen through his heart a long time ago.

Tear off the mask? Be yourself?

Lester also hoped so, but unfortunately, like Lanx's status in the upper echelons of the church, he was just an ordinary knight in the Knights, and he didn't have the ability to be himself at all, at least, he didn't have it now!

To be oneself means to fully expose one's true nature, the self that expects to become stronger, and does not care about using any means......

While cultivating the Glory Fighting Qi, Lester actually practiced the light spells of the priests, and in order to become stronger, he also searched for literature, and personally traveled to the ruins of many magical civilizations.

Being able to reach the silver position in his twenties that many people can't reach alone, Lester's madness can be imagined.

Unlike the 'mentally retarded' like Ral, Lester is very aware of his weakness, and it is precisely because he understands that he needs to wear a mask of hypocrisy even more.

Only the strong can be themselves, and the weak can only prostrate on the ground, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

Although it is not so cruel, the church is also a small world where intrigue is always in place.

There wouldn't be a few of a fool like Ral, and if it weren't for the Pope's backing, he would have been sent to the headquarters of the Dark Council by the Knight Chiefs to die......

As for now......

"Huh? Father. ”

Lester looked at Lanx who came from a distance, the surprised light in his eyes flashed, I don't know why, Lanx, who has been suppressing himself, at this moment the whole person is like a sword out of the sheath, that terrifying momentum, Lester has only felt it in the underground training ground.

"Oh, Lester, you're in ...... Send Lal back. ”

Ranks said this, but he didn't look at Ral, as if he wasn't standing next to Lester at all.

“…… Rector of Ranks. ”

Although he was dissatisfied with Lanx's attitude, Ral, who was below the other party, could only lower his head and shout at this moment.

Pity......

"I'm no longer a rectory."

Lanx's words made Lal slightly stunned.

It's not the parish, it's the promotion? Or did it fall?

"Now I'm the Pope!"

Kindness? Kindness?!

Lal was shocked, the Pope, it was impossible to be replaced unless he died.

His own uncle, dead?

"Well, he's dead, killed by my own hands."

In a rather flat tone, Lanks uttered the words that made Ral almost faint.

"You, killed my uncle?!"

After the initial surprise, my heart was full of anger.

"You're an apostate!"

Ral, who shouted like this, was choked back by Ranks' words.

"Don't worry, in a few hours, there will be no more zài in the current church."

"You're ......!"

Ral, who had just been defeated by Ah Zhai, didn't dare to step forward to fight with Lanx at this moment, he was in the middle of the silver rank, and it was impossible to defeat the other party.

Case......

"I'll report this to the House of Elders."

Lal slowly retreated, knowing that the next step was going to be very dangerous.

Pity......

"Poof—"

"Forehead !!!!"

Ral did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that the people around him would plot against him, no, he was possible, Lanks, after all, it was his father.

"It's not about my father, I'm just ...... Don't want to wear a mask anymore......"

Lester, who said this, pulled out the weapon inserted in Ral's chest, and then, with a spiral momentum, he no longer disguised himself, and advanced! (To be continued......)
