CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER XXIV

Ayime let out a sigh of surprise together beside Talis, the Templar Knight's knowledge is not a problem, knowledge and vision are also one of the necessary conditions for a knight, and Celeste's data room naturally has everything, so she can recognize most of these specimens and memorabilia.

Not only that, but she seemed to see the extraordinary value of these little things more than A, and the collection in Celeste was superb, and the complete explanations of the most senior naturalists made her discerning even more incomprehensible to many details that Asa did not know.

"This Mimura Sa's hair has red scales, at least she's still a tribal chief... This must be the fingernails of a bipedal wyvern... These are all difficult things to deal with. An adventurer has these collections, and I don't think they are necessarily in the Kingdom Collection of Erathia. ”

"Hey, come and have a look. Talis picked up two things and beckoned Asa to come over. Her voice had shifted from surprise to composure.

A kind of surprise has reached a certain limit, and it has become a calm that can only be found in times of shock and alarm.

"These are the eyes of the brute bull in the Lizard Swamp. You know that. "On her left hand is a fist-sized eyeball, specially treated like a strange toy, with its huge pupils reflecting the figure of a human in black.

"I know, it's still an old man's eyes. Asa nodded. Only the pupils of the elderly bull will slowly turn black.

"It's not just the eyes of an old bull, it's the eyes of the strongest old bull, that is to say, it should be the eyes of a king of bulls. You can see that the pupils have turned completely black, and there are magic fluctuations coming out. This king of the bulls is said to be able to cast a necromancy-like effect with his gaze. Their eyeballs are also a necessity for crafting ** scrolls of necromancy. This king of brute bulls is extremely difficult to catch. I remember it seemed like there was only one Celeste. ”

Asa frowned. He knew that this was indeed the eyeball that had been placed here casually for more than ten years, and it seemed that any villager who passed by could secretly open the door and take it while the owner was away, and it was really hard to believe that this could be a rare magic item that even the church only had. But with his current perception, he could also detect faint magical fluctuations on that eyeball.

"Preserving this eyeball is not just a means of embalming, it must be instilled with mana at a time interval, in order to ensure that the necromantic magic in it is not exhausted.... What needs to be instilled is also necromancy...."

The corners of Asa's eyes jumped. He could tell it wasn't nonsense. There doesn't seem to be a reason for Talis to talk nonsense.

"And this thing. I'm sure you shouldn't be an adventurer. Talis's voice was even colder, and she had a half-cane on her right hand.

"Well, this.... It seems like it's just a half-cut ordinary cane. Asa replied. It's really just a half-cane.

Although the wood is very good and the workmanship is very fine, there is not the slightest fluctuation of magic or any strange smell. More than once when he was a child, he played with it in his hand, used it to tickle it, and took it to poke the bird's nest... It couldn't be more familiar.

"I'll tell you. In Celeste's showroom, the top half of the staff is placed on the highest altar. These are all the canes of the previous Pope, His Majesty Deken. Talis's voice trembled.

Both Asa and Aimeh were completely stunned.

"Could it be that sister, you're wrong?" asked Ai Yimei. She also found it hard to believe that the staff of the former pope could be seen in an unclosed wooden house in a small village.

"This wood is the wood core of the thousand-year-old elf tree, and the patterns and broken patterns on it are also completely consistent with the broken patterns of the upper half of the scepter in Celeste. I can't be mistaken, because that's how His Majesty Magnus clicked on my forehead. I was given the title of Templar Knight. ”

Asa smiled reluctantly, "Oh, I didn't think that the thing I used to scratch my back when I was a child would have such a history..... Mother-in-law's collection is really..."

"Do you know what else is the reason why I remember this thing so clearly?" Talis interrupted Asa, her face ice-free. Spit out word by word.

"The greatest ideal of every Templar is to bring to justice the assassin of His Majesty the previous Pope, Durken. ”

The barely squeezed smile on Asa's face completely cooled. He knew it was unlikely that anyone would want to copy it. Also, he now knew why it felt strange to be back here now.

Nothing has changed here, what has changed is your own vision. Before that. Even after spending more than ten years in this small cabin, he did not see the extraordinary thing about this seemingly ordinary cabin, or at that time he did not have the ability and eyesight to see it.

The location of this room, the size of the room, the direction of the doorway, the distance between the two cabinets, the location..... And the location and arrangement of everything in the wooden house is actually the most reasonable and discreet, so that the owner can make the fastest response in any situation and any position.

This should not be deliberate, after all, this is just an unguarded cabin, it can only be a habit that the owner has developed more or less when arranging and placing it, like a beast of prey will never let its guard down even when it is eating or sleeping.

If Asa were to decorate his own cabin, it would probably be the same as this cabin.

"But didn't the last Pope, His Majesty Deken, die of illness twenty years ago?" asked Aimeh.

"It's not a death from illness. The night before his violent death, His Majesty had personally killed three assassins without using magic, and even without magic, he was enough to rank among the top 10 in the continent at the time. However, he was assassinated on his way to the Empire of Love and Pain. However, this fact could not be known to outsiders, so it was announced that His Majesty Deken had died of a sudden illness. ”

Twenty years have passed since this incident, but it is still the largest case in the history of the church. I've only heard about these things. However, His Majesty Magnus has since used this half of His Majesty's cane as a prop to bestow the title of Templar Knight. I'm sure everyone, including me, who has become a Templar by being instructed by this scepter, has already made this their ultimate goal. This must also be the intention of His Majesty Magnus. ”

Talis's hand holding the scepter trembled slightly, the weight of the thing was too heavy for her, or for any Templar.

"But I'm sure if you tell Magnus about what you saw here, the first thing he'll do is kill you with his own hands. ”

This was not said by Asa, much less by Aimeh. She said this a thin, clean, long-haired old woman standing by the door, smiling at the three uninvited guests in her room, with a bag of bread on her chest.

No one, including Asa, discovered how she appeared.

"I knew you would be here around this time, but I didn't expect you to bring two such beautiful girls with you. The old woman's eyes looked over Talis and Aiyimeh, and smiled. "A very talented water mage, and the other is actually a Templar Knight. ”

The old woman came up and patted Asa on the back and said, "Little Sa, you have grown up." ”

"Mother-in-law, you're back. Asa smiled and nodded.

Although Talis did not draw her sword or make any precautions, her momentum was already very disturbed and tense. Although she looked like an ordinary old woman with no threat in the slightest, she knew that this was also an enemy she couldn't deal with.

Even as she stared and paid attention now, she felt like her perception and attention were completely unfocused, locked on this person.

"Little girl, take it easy. Would a Templar draw a sword from an old man who was powerless?" Granny El put down her pocket on the table and took out the bread and some everyday items inside. Her expression was relaxed and serene, and she was indeed an old woman who had just come home from shopping.

"I have reason to believe that you will not be helpless, but I dare to draw my sword against you..." Even at such a close distance, the other party was one of those defenseless, but she knew very well that no matter how she struck, she would definitely miss. The seemingly ordinary old woman in front of her seemed to be a phantom condensed by illusions, and it seemed to be a monster that existed independently in a special space, and could jump into the void and disappear at any time. Of course, it is also possible to reappear from anywhere with a Counter Devouring Critical Blow.

"But I want you to tell me who you really are, why is this half of His Majesty Deken's scepter with you? and... What do you mean by that?"

Asa hesitated and didn't speak, he also wanted to know these things just now, and he also knew that Talis was no longer the kind of reckless and reckless personality.

"You don't have to know who I am. It was only a keepsake of my last commission, and I can tell you that Magnus knew that half of the scepter was in my possession. And I don't think he'll allow any Templar to know the truth about this, so don't ask for anything superfluous. Granny El smiled faintly at Talis, then looked at Asa and asked, "Why, don't you have something important to look for me?"
