The train heads directly to the borders of the Radiant Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was Ilian who greeted the egret and the others at the border checkpoint.

The current Ilian is different from the past, he is wearing the Star and Moon Holy Robe and holding the Shenwu Life Scepter. Just the knights of the escort stood no less than thirty behind them.

Marianne was even more steady by his side.

This is a child with a "criminal record". Although almost all the bishops recognized him as the successor of the Pope because of the Scepter of Life, they also resented Ilian's escape.

Even when it comes to going to the toilet, there are at least four knights guarding him. It was a collapse for Ilian.

After receiving the Egret's letter, Doni has already arrived at the Radiant Border Checkpoint in the airship, where he will stand with Illion to greet the Egret and Ambra's Knights.

Don't think it's a drop in the bucket. In fact, the egret who has become the king of knights has a status that is not inferior to the princes or princesses of the six empires at all, and even most of the princes or princesses have no ability to mobilize the knight legion. It is a reasonable etiquette for Ilian to greet him. Even Marianne didn't feel wrong with that in the slightest. A showdown of garden trials, Marianne has recognized the ability of the egret from the heart.

"The growth of the Egret Kid is terrifying. Doni suddenly said something like this, "When I first met him, he was just an elite at the nuanced level. In less than a year, even jumping two levels became a legal principle. Compared to Nina, who used the Divine Martial Arts early on to obtain the realm growth inheritance, and Ilian, who has the advantage of countless magic reference books and the assistance of life spars, he is probably the one who has the fastest strength promotion. ”

"Brother Egret is naturally very powerful. Ilian's face was full of joy, "Becoming a knight king is also a matter of course. ”

It's just that he suddenly got such a high status, and to put it mildly, I don't know if his mentality will change badly. Doni's words mean that in history, there are no knights who have become depraved because they suddenly gained a high status. The egret itself is not an orthodox knight, and he is born with a lack of values, and suddenly puts him in such a high position, Doni is a little worried about whether the egret can still keep his heart.

"He won't. It was Marianne who opened her mouth to retort, and she shook her blonde hair, "That guy can still bait his companion in the last moments of the trial, even when the oil runs out." I don't think such a knight would fall because of the change of status. Uh, what are you looking at me for?"

It may be that Dhoni and Ilian's eyes are too weird, and Marianne was forced to stop halfway through her words, looking at the two of them with some embarrassment.

"That's great!" Illian nodded, giving Marianne an appreciative look.

What the hell are you talking about, Your Highness?, and what the hell are you doing with that ambiguous look in your eyes?

Marianne was about to go crazy. Suddenly, her complexion changed, and her eyes looked ahead. "It's coming!"

"All knights have it!

On the horizon ahead, the magic train whirred by. On the platform, all the knights of the Holy Radiance cheered up and greeted Ambra's reinforcements with the best spirit.

The egrets were the first to come down. Illian was about to step forward, but saw the egret turn and half-kneel again, and reached out to help Nina behind him.

Illion's face froze, then he laughed again, stepped forward a few steps, and let out a sweet cry. "Sister Nina!"

Coming out with Nina and wanting to keep it a secret? Egret is not so naïve. He didn't expect this to go unnoticed, so he might as well be generous from the beginning and consider himself Nina's guardian knight.

As for the status of the Knight King, to be honest, this is simply an ethereal thing for a visitor who is himself from another world.

Nina was also very happy to see Ilian, both of them were heirs to the empire, and it would be difficult to meet after returning to the empire. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we were able to catch up together.

Marianne almost covered her face, she was going to exchange situations with the egret. When it came to his lips, the words turned into a reproach: "Are you addicted to abducting the heir of the empire? First His Highness Elian, then His Highness Nina? Although Ambra was not burned at the stake, the power of the stabbing instrument was not much worse than that of burning at the stake. ”

The egret's face is going to be bitter. "Do you think I can kidnap this eldest lady? Don't always be embarrassed by the little maid who gets the key!

Marianne was stunned for a moment, then looked at the egret with pity.

"Let's get down to business. What happened when the Blood Sacrifice cultists attacked the village?" the egret quickly changed the subject.

"Attack?" Marianne shook her head in unison, a reaction almost identical to Ambra's informed aristocrats. "Do you call the killing of unarmed villagers by a group of at least elite-level masters an attack? Not an ordinary massacre yet. ”

The egret's face became solemn. "Can I see the scene?"

"Hmm. Marianne didn't say much, she had seen the situation at the scene, and any superfluous verbal descriptions were not enough to explain the situation there, only by seeing it with her own eyes could she understand what the Blood Sacrifice Cultists were.

Everyone was arranged to get into the car, and Ilian, along with Nina and Fiona, was also going to the scene. Illion is the heir of the Divine Radiance Empire, and this is not the first time that he has been involved in such a thing. Nina had seen the sins of the Blood Sacrifice cultists before, and she was going to go too, so maybe she could give some advice. And Fiona, as the hidden leader of Ambra who knows a lot of information, it is absolutely impossible not to know the scene of the crimes of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists.

In other words, only the young Lulu and the egret, who had not been exposed to the situation of the Blood Sacrifice cultists, were participating in the scene for the first time.

Village, located in a valley on the border.

From the perspective of the environment, it should be a paradise with birds singing and flowers everywhere. But as soon as he walked in, the egret smelled a breath of death. It's hard to describe what it smelled like, the smell of corpses mixed with the smell of burnt meat, mixed into an extremely unpleasant smell. All the people who entered the village frowned.

The village is not very large, at best there are only about 100 households. Contrary to the beautiful surroundings outside the village, all the animals here have disappeared, and the plants have withered and dried as if they had been roasted by fire.

However, there is one phenomenon that is difficult to explain, that is, although it smells of corpses, the egrets do not see any corpses at all.

Marianne seemed to see the Egret's confusion, and she led the Egret to the village church, which was a religious country and the church was the standard building in every village. Marianne stood at the door, stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, "Let's go, read it early, and bury the villagers early." ”

The egret was a little frightened by Marianne's expression, but she didn't hesitate to follow. He muttered in his heart, even if it was a massacre, how miserable could it be?

If he had the chance to do it once, Egret swore he would never set foot in that church!

As soon as I entered through the gate, the egret felt a twitch in my stomach. It's physiology protesting to the egret, protesting everything he sees.

The first thing that caught the eye was a large black round jar, which was clearly not intended to hold water. It contained a viscous liquid that was almost blackened, and the egret couldn't tell what it was, but the pungent smell made people vomit out all the food they had eaten last month.

However, it was just a cylinder, and around this black round cylinder, there were some objects scattered around. Although the color has turned blue and black, the egret still recognizes it at a glance, it is a severed limb, an arm that belongs to an adult!

The egret was disgusted, and as the scattered broken limbs looked around, their complexion became whiter than the snow of the Ice Moon Empire. I don't know how many broken limbs there were, some piled up in the corners, some scattered around the perimeter of the tank.

"It's a blood sacrifice urn used for rituals. Marianne spoke now, "Most of the liquid in it is made of blood mixed with magical liquid. That's what the Blood Priests use to remind them of their magic. ”

"As for how it was done. I don't think you can't be surprised by the sight of chopped limbs and cooked scraps. ”

Egret's eyes widened, "You mean, they drink?!" He felt his voice tremble as if it came from another world. The egret didn't even know whether he was angry or hateful now, until he knew that he was about to lose it anymore.

Instead of answering the question, Marianne crossed the vat and continued on her way with the egret.

After the church hall, inside is a garden. It was supposed to be a beautiful little garden, but now, it seems like a purgatory.

All the plants withered, turning into pitch-black unidentified substance, twisted and tangled in the ground. A shelf has been erected in the middle of the garden. The egret looked over, but saw the only corpse that had not yet deteriorated.

It was a female corpse, and her body was no longer in the flesh. All over the body, there are indescribable marks and liquids. Starting from the lower body, a black wooden frame passed through the body and emerged from the mouth. In this way, the person is fixed in the center.

"This is the pastor here, Jermin. Marianne didn't say much else, and walked on.

The egret's mind was completely dizzy, and his steps were frivolous, as if floating in the air, and he staggered to follow. For a profession at the level of jurisprudence, where controlling the whole body is as simple as drinking water, stumbling is almost impossible.

At the back of the garden, stands a statue of a god.

The idol of the Divine Radiance Empire. This idol can be seen almost everywhere, but it has been put on a picture that can only be seen here.

It was several circles made of heads. Each head was facing the idol, and his expression was very eerie.

The skull in the center of the circle should be one size smaller. But it's a child in the village. They were also facing the idols, their mouths slashed open, and they made a mocking expression. There seemed to be some mockery in the empty eyes, and he just looked at the statue like this.

The egret couldn't hold back any longer, he took a few steps back, opened his mouth, and sprayed out all the tumbling, even stomach acid gushed out.

His body was suddenly held up by Marianne, "Let's go." Marianne said, "That's all there is to it." (To be continued.) )
