Volume 1 The Elven Oracle, Chapter 37: Roselet, the Demon Slayer

It's still the same as before.

The scorched ground emitted a foul smell, and the broken stone wall occasionally made a slight noise or two as a few pieces of rubble fell from the broken stone wall because of the gust of wind that blew from time to time.

Although there had been a terrible battle just over ten minutes ago, and although several lives had been lost here forever, when everyone had left, it was as if it had reverted to the silent street pavilion it had been, except for the ground that had been turned into ruins......

And in a room on the side of the street, where you won't find the entrance if you don't look carefully, an old man with a calm face is leisurely chewing the bread that was cold last night, while looking at something that is obviously an adult book from another world in his hand, and in front of him, at this time, four young people, a man, three women, are standing.

"You just said that you want to know why I helped you?" the old man asked without raising his head as he swallowed the last slice of bread into his stomach.

The old man's eyes were fixed on the things in his hand, and his face was full of obscene smiles! If it weren't for witnessing his strength a moment ago, Yi Fan would even wonder if he had gone to the wrong set again after changing a chapter.

"That's right, I clearly know that we didn't know each other before today, and reason also tells me that there will be no one in this world who will help another person without a reason!" Yi Fan stood in front of the old man, holding the forgotten love tightly in his hand, and the black philosopher's stone was inlaid at the top of the staff, shining slightly.

"Before I answer your question, there is one thing you must understand!" the old man drank the coarse tea in his hand before his gaze shifted from the book in his hand to Yi Fan's face, "Do you think I really helped you by doing that?"

After speaking, the old man lowered his head again with a slight smile, and continued to look at the reading materials in his hand, Yi Fan's reaction was obviously no longer within the scope of his concern.

Is he really helping me? If he doesn't show up at all, will I really fail? If he doesn't ask that Othello, will he really have no chance of escaping?

Yi Fan's face became more solemn in an instant, and subconsciously he looked at the old man with a surprised face, because it was obvious that an existence with unknown intentions was far more threatening than Othello's kind of existence that directly stated his attitude.

"Then who are?" Yi Fan couldn't help but take two steps forward, the old man's vague attitude made him, who didn't know much about this world, feel deeply uneasy.

"It's called the Silent Street Pavilion, but fifty years ago, it had another name!" the old man put aside his things and made a look like he was going to tell a story, "The end of the demon slayer, this street was called that before the paladin named Roslet disappeared!"

The old man seemed to be telling a long story, and when he stood up, he motioned for some of the people in the room to sit down, though there seemed to be no suitable place to sit in the low room.

"Demon Slayer, that's really a ridiculous name...... the old man's tone seemed to mock and sigh, "Even his most important friends and subordinates have to be killed with his own hands, and in the end, do you kill the demon or become a demon yourself......

Yi Fan didn't hear the old man's words, but for a moment, he still seemed to see the loss on the old man's face, the kind of loss that seemed to have lost everything.

However, the old man quickly adjusted his mood again, and while making a look of indifference, he turned his head and continued to tell Yi Fan and the others: "That little guy Othello said that you are a demon apostle, it's really ridiculous, you must know that the demon who is called an apostle, even if it is the weakest, is almost equivalent to a junior paladin, how can he be forced into such an embarrassing situation by so many of them." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Yi Fan showed an embarrassed expression on his face, after all, as a divine envoy, no matter how he looks at it, he is really too weak now, although the strength of a high-level magician, although he can deal with many ordinary enemies, but any high-grade opponent can almost force him to use his killer weapon.

"Moreover, the apostles of the demons will not be like you, those guys in the Holy See, I'm afraid they guessed what kind of magic you use, so they will let the papal knights destroy you in the name of eliminating blasphemers!" Obviously, this old man also knew that the magic used by Yi Fan was black magic, so he had such words, but for some reason, he did not show the slightest taboo about this magic.

Next, the old man told the long story about the Silent Street Pavilion, but Yi Fan always had a faint feeling that what the old man was telling was his own story.

......

The story takes place when Rothlet was still known as a paladin.

With the title of "Holy Lance" given by the Pope, and the silver-white spear of the same name, Roselet at that time could be regarded as the idol and goal pursued by all knights across the continent at that time.

The lucky paladin has become the youngest chief knight in the history of the Holy See, and he has one of the three most elite knights in the Holy See.

At that time, the Holy Flame Knights were indeed worthy of the title of elite, and under the leadership of Roslet, they conquered the dark country of Ogasso, which believed in shadows, exterminated the fallen dragon Robert entrenched in the center of the continent, and even the forbidden Shadow Queen was greatly damaged by the full force of their knights.

The banner embroidered with the Holy Flame has floated countless times on the corpses of enemies who have opposed the Holy See, and the young paladin has become an important existence in the hearts of every team member second only to the Pope and the God of Light.

But all this happened before that incident! Since the demon seed took root in the Knights, everything has changed in an irreversible direction! Roslet's fate has been overshadowed from this moment on.

The first person to notice the existence of the Demon Seed was Roslet, but when he found out about it, he had to face one of the most difficult choices of his life!

When Roslet saw the most important friend in his life, sucking the blood of a knight with a fierce face, the paladin, who dared to charge first even in the face of the evil dragon, finally felt the weight of the spear in his hand!

Rothlet eventually killed his friend, who had begged him in tears in his only moment of consciousness. He killed his friends who became demons and saved his innocent subordinates, but only the paladins themselves knew in their hearts that the friends who were sent by the demon seed were not innocent.

Since then, the title of "Demon Slayer" has gradually overshadowed the original title of Paladin, even if the title is personally set by the most noble pope on the mainland, this still can't change the momentum of the crazy spread of the title of "Demon Slayer" throughout the continent.

The young knight was praised as a hero who killed his relatives in righteousness, and the young knight was called the enforcer who judged evil, and when praise became a trend instead of praise, no one remembered the knight who was called the "holy spear".

And Roslet, the young paladin, had to kill another subordinate who was parasitized by the demon seed in the midst of such a chant, and then the second, and then the third, as if cursed, and every once in a while, a new parasitic appeared, and then, killed by him, with the title of "Demon Slayer", in the name of adjudicating evil!

Rumors began to spread among the ranks, and more and more members of the Order looked at the Knight Commander with fear and disgust!

Although he has many auras, Rothlet is also a normal person, and after repeating the process of killing his subordinates, his mind finally began to collapse! The young knight began to wonder if he was the only one who was possessed by the demon from the beginning!

The knights of the Order are afraid of him, and the knights who have newly joined the Holy See are no longer willing to join the Knights of the Holy Flame that they once longed for!

Things finally took a turn for the better, when the paladins had long forgotten how long ago they had last laughed, and an order from the Pope himself gave the paladins hope of finding themselves!
