Chapter XXXVIII
Fifth arrondissement.
The sound of galloping horses came.
When I came to the place of the accident, the location of the accident was surrounded by a group of knights dressed in gold and silver armor. The armor has a sign of crossed swords, which is the sign of the Holy See's Punishment Knights.
As soon as Sully pulled the reins, the horse's speed dropped. Roll over and dismount, and hand the reins in your hand to the knight behind.
Walking quickly, Sally saw two corpses covered with white cloths on the ground.
Sully was about to walk forward when two knights of the Holy See in front of him reached out to stop him.
"Who are you?"
"Get out of the way. Sally said in a deep voice.
The two Punishment Knights in front of him were only official knights, and there was no need for him to be polite to them.
"Wow" there was a sound of sword weapons rubbing. The two Punishment Knights rested their other hand on the hilt of their swords at their waists. Each Knight of Punishment is to make a double sword.
The spear in Sally's hand rubbed, in this case, even if he killed the other party, it would be fine. Sally thought.
Just as Sally was about to make a move, another voice rang out, "Let him in." "It was a young female voice, with a crisp voice, but also full of the majesty of the superior.
The two punishment knights withdrew their holding hands, and Sally exhaled, at this time, he could not do it again.
Sally walked over to the corpse. On the other side, a girl in a gold-rimmed white robe walked by.
Sally crouched down and removed the white cloth from it.
The Dead Knight had a pale face, sunken cheeks, a blackened tooth mark on his neck, a hole in his chest, an equally black wound, and a heart no longer there. After glancing, Sally covered it with a white cloth.
"They died in the wee hours of last night, but I'm curious, what are they doing here in the wee hours of the morning?" said the maiden as she walked up to Sally.
Sally stood up and looked at the blonde girl in front of her, with a delicate face and a noble temperament, like an angel.
In fact, the maiden's clothes do have an angel wing tattoo on it.
"Someone, take the body away. Sully ignored the girl's question, and spoke directly to the knights who came with him.
"Yes. ”
"Sally Wright. The blonde girl said coldly.
"I... Do you know you?" said Sally slowly.
"Thou shalt not be rude to the Holy Maiden. ”
A reprimanding knight next to him stepped forward.
"Bang. Sully's spear was raised, the tip of which was pressed against the neck of the Knight of Punishment.
"She is your holy woman, not mine. Sally said lightly.
The Holy See is unattainable in the eyes of others, but for them, the aristocratic families who stand at the top of a country, they are just an ordinary religion. Maybe the nobles or royalty who need the hearts of the people will be kind to them, but the knight family does not.
This brings us to the aristocratic policy of the Yas Empire. The difference between the ordinary nobles, that is, the non-knightly nobles and the knightly nobles. This is like the "government" and "army" of Sully's previous life.
Ordinary aristocrats are equivalent to government officials, they need the will of the people, and they need performance.
And the knightly aristocracy is equivalent to the military. The number of knights privately cultivated by ordinary aristocratic families cannot exceed 1,000, and the number of knights owned by knight nobles is 30,000. There is a thirty-fold difference in the middle. However, now the royal family is also trying to reduce the number of knights and nobles without causing a backlash.
All in all, the knightly nobility did not need to curry favor with the Holy See.
"Stand down!" said the Holy Maiden coldly.
The Punishment Knight immediately retreated, and Sully withdrew his spear as well.
"This is heresy!" said the holy woman with an angry eyebrow.
"I'll look into it myself!"
"The Holy See has the right to participate in the investigation of any incident related to heresy. ”
"Then you go and check it yourself, they are knights of the Wright family, and I must take the remains. ”
"You..."
Sully didn't flinch in the slightest.
In the middle of the sound, the saint calmed down for a while, and then said slowly: "Okay!"
The Knights of Punishment stepped out of the way, and Sully's Knights of Bodyguard came in and carried the body away. Sally didn't stop at all, turned around and left.
With the sound of horses' hooves, Sally and the other knights slowly walked away.
"Such a young knight is indeed rare, but unfortunately, your arrogance has swept away reason! The saint muttered.
..............
Of course, Sally is not a brainless fellow, and he came out on this trip not only to collect the corpses of the two knights, but also to contact the Holy See, which has the deepest contact with heretics in the royal city. Now in addition to some hidden forces in the royal city, I am afraid that the Holy See has the deepest contact with heretics, and Sully's target is also heresy, so it is inevitable to deal with the Holy See in the future.
It is not Sully who is truly arrogant today, but the Holy See. As the heir to one of the three major knights and nobles of the Yas Empire, it is normal for Sully to show his previous attitude, and what is not normal is the attitude of the Holy See. They were nothing more than a religion, and their audience was mainly commoners and a few minor nobles, but they showed that attitude towards Sally.
Of course, Sully will not think that the other party is brainless and arrogant, and the other party must have his own confidence if he shows such an attitude. In this way, the influence of the Holy See in the royal city can also be seen from the side. Although I had heard it before, what others said was not as accurate as what I saw.
"It seems that it will not be so easy to deal with the Holy See in the future. Sally muttered. He really doesn't have a good impression of the Holy See. It's enough that they hunt heretics.
If he encounters a lot, maybe he will become a heretic himself.
...................
Back at the manor, Sally dismounted.
"Send a carriage to return their bodies to the family fiefdom for burial. Sally said to the knights.
The Wright family's Tomb of the Immortals was built in their fiefdom.
"Also, bring back the remains of the knights who died in the sixth district. ”
"Yes!"
Handing the reins to one of the knights, Sully walked towards the castle.
This incident, to say that Sully did not expect, is fake. Without knowing the specific strength of the other party, Sully sent a knight to follow the other party, and he naturally thought about such a result, and when he gave the order, he already had such preparations.
Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, Sully will give such an order.
This determines whether he can grasp the opportunity, whether he can be beaten passively, or whether he can take the initiative to attack.
Although Sully had previously called the other party a rat in the sewers, he did not despise them.
Now it seems that the vampire he caught is indeed the lowest.
In the study, Sally sat at his desk.
"A trace.... Five marks...," Sally muttered.
Listen to that vampire, the members of the Five Marks can torture and kill the Knight. The word "torture and killing" is really difficult to interpret, and Sully can't intuitively judge the strength of the other party. It can only be said that it is much stronger than the Titled Knight, and it is impossible to judge how much stronger it is. Provided, of course, that the vampire is true.
Sally didn't know how his current strength compared to the Titled Knight, and speaking of which, he hadn't seen a real Titled Knight.
Moreover, his current strength is no longer what can be summed up by the strength of the fighting energy in his body. What is more powerful for him is his own body, a body like a heretic.
Before the qualitative change in strength, when he was at his strongest, he was one line stronger than the strength shown by his father, and after the qualitative change, his strength was several times that of before.
And now, after a period of replenishment of nutrients, he can feel that his body has grown to a certain extent.
So, what about the knighthood?
"I'm looking forward to it!" Sally thought.
