Chapter 8: The Road to the Strong

In the early morning, a few early birds occasionally flew over Constantinople, and the sun was shining through a small window on a sleeping teenager, as if the whole world had fallen silent for this teenager.

"Hmm-" Furcy touched his still drowsy head and opened his sleepy eyes. What appeared in front of him was not the familiar underground training room, but the small room where he lived.

"You've slept for two days and two nights, and you look tired. It was at this moment that Furcy's familiar voice came to his ears.

"Two days, two nights?!" Foxie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered his crazy training a few days ago, and then thought of something about Oisisno.

"Rest assured, everything is in order, everything is still under the control of our Inquisition. Hazen walked to the window, pushed open the transparent window, and a cool breeze immediately blew into the room.

Flucy breathed a sigh of relief, but after all this time, the Duke of the Bloodline, Oisisno, had not yet appeared, and there could only be two reasons: either it was fake news, or what he had in mind was important and he had to make a foolproof plan. If the latter is the case, then this time the Inquisition will face a terrible enemy. In this case, then he will not be able to relax his training, although the unbearable pain in training makes him want to give up several times, but it is more important than this training or life.

"From this day on, the training of your martial arts to become a knight is not under the care of our third squad, and Agent William has already found a new teacher for you, and he said that you just need to wait until you wake up to find him in the confessional room of the church. I've already brought the words, and the rest is your business. In a flash, Haysen's figure passed through the slightly open wooden door and disappeared from Furcy's sight.

"Does Uncle already know what I think?" Foxy didn't think much of it, and whether William knew his thoughts or not, his decision would never change. Thinking of this, Furcy rolled over and got out of bed and walked out of the room without hesitation.

"Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide, and the way is great, and many enter in, and narrow is the gate to life, and the way is small, and few are found...... "There were almost no people in the Hagia Sophia in the morning, most of the priests were practicing, and some of the preachers had already begun to preach. There were many considerations for placing the Inquisition underground in the church, one was to hide it, the other was to protect the safety of the church, and the third was for religious reasons. Many clergy in the church were afraid and resentful of the Inquisition, after all, the Inquisition had countless blood on its hands, although it was nominally to clean the world from the filth on behalf of God, many people knew that the Inquisition was essentially used to maintain the rule of the Church. Along the way, Francie saw a lot of beautiful frescoes and carvings in the church, usually he did not actually visit the interior of the church, today it seems that Hagia Sophia does have its differences.

"You want to watch the battle?" In front of the statue of the Holy Virgin, William was reciting the passages of the Bible reverently, and he was wearing a wide cloak that Furcy had never seen before, the background of the cloak was as white as the wings of angels, but the white cloak also had a large red cross printed on it.

"Yes, and hope you agree. Francie lost his mind only briefly, and then immediately picked up his spirits to answer William's question. Broadly speaking, Foxy was already a member of the Inquisition, so William could treat him as a subordinate and not as his nephew.

"I know Oisisno will come. You know, see, and think too narrowly, you don't know why he's here, you don't know when he's coming, you don't know how strong he is, you can only do what you can. I knew he was coming, and I knew it from start to finish, because it was everything we had already designed in our Secret Office. There was not a trace of emotion in William's words, as if it were just a very ordinary thing, and they were not facing the Duke of the Bloodline, but an insignificant figure.

"The Inquisition has not made any major moves for nearly ten years since the last 'Crusades', and just after the last Christmas, the Special Chamber of the Vatican Inquisition issued a 'blood-washing' plan, and Oissino is just one of the bloods to be purified in this plan, and I am the executor of this part of the cleansing plan. For this plan, we even used the 'Blood Drink', which we had spent a great deal of strength to find three years ago, as bait, and this time Oisisno was going to die. I have to make sure that the whole plan can't be variable, if you insist on going, when you encounter danger, we will just give up on you, do you still want to go?" William said plainly, but Furcy heard from William's words that there was infinite murder, it was a plan and a trap from beginning to end, but neither he, Hayzen, nor the old man knew it.

"What you can see is only a small fragment of the matter, and even I, as the executor, cannot see the whole picture. The only people who can know the whole plan may be the Patriarch and the Presiding Judge. You must know that this world is more terrible and deeper than you think. They have a shocking plan, maybe to kill the Demon Clan's 'Methuselah', or maybe to destroy the largest council of the Bloodline, but we only need to do our part of the mission. Because in the world of the strong, mortals don't even have the right to comment, now, do you still insist on going?" William slowly walked in front of Furcy, as a special agent of the Inquisition of the City of Constantine, he was the chess player of this city and even the entire Byzantium, but at the same time, he could only be a small pawn in the hands of the church and the inquisitor on this huge continental territory. He could choose to let Furcy join or not, but he couldn't choose to protect his life. As long as one day is not immortal, people are helpless, because there will always be things that they cannot decide for themselves.

There was silence in the church, and Francie didn't say a word the whole time, he just listened very carefully to what William said. He also knew that William was right, the world itself was a big game of chess, and not everyone had the right to become a pawn. William had no choice because he couldn't get out of the game, but he, Furcy Heidewtz, hadn't been in the game yet, so what he wanted from the beginning was not to be a pawn, but to be a spectator. He's getting stronger, but his bond with the Inquisition is getting deeper, so he can't let go of every opportunity in front of him, he has to find an opportunity to change the situation.

"It doesn't make sense to you, a mortal who isn't even a first-order midshipman wants to peek into the battle of the 'gods'. I don't want to watch the fight, I know it's hard to see a fight at this level, and this is a valuable experience and a wealth that I have accumulated in the future, and these experiences will make my future path smoother and shorten the time for me to become stronger. I'm willing to take a gamble for the sake of my future. There was a sparkle of almost paranoia and determination in Felsey's eyes, time and the past had gradually erased the weakness and hesitation of the boy, and he was like a eagle that was beginning to grow hard wings and tried to start his first flight.

"Hmm-" William seemed to anticipate Furcy's reply, and only pondered for a few seconds before giving his decision.

"If you're able to meet the standards required by your new teacher before the program begins, I'll agree with you watching from the sidelines. As William spoke, a man dressed in military civilian clothes pushed open the door behind Furcy and walked straight into the huge confessional room.

"This is Deno Battle from the Scarlet Knights of the Special Chamber, and we have both saved each other's lives, and we are friends of life and death. Seeing the man walk up to Furcy, William opened his mouth to introduce him, and he also extended his hands to give the man a hug.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, even a rookie like you has been mixed up with special things, this world is really unfair. The man in military civilian clothes had a beard on his face, but it was not very thick, his eyes seemed to be calm, but under the calm there was a bloodthirsty light, this man was not very tall and burly, but he exuded a sense of strength from his body. The man had short brown hair, and a scar on his forehead could be faintly seen from the hair that covered his forehead. Furcy couldn't see his depth, but his feelings told him that the man in front of him should not be inferior to his uncle.

"Won't you say something nice? This is my nephew, Foxy Rosberg, and I'm going to trouble you to make this undead boy suffer a little this time. "It is true that William does not want Fursey to participate in this senseless battle, and no one can escape the plan of the Inquisition, and escape this big game, at least not Oisisno. He didn't want more variables like Ferssey in such a battle, he always considered from the perspective of ensuring Ferssey's safety, which was his commitment to Ferssey's father and his account to the Heidewütz family.

"With this kind of arrogant little rookie, our rookie battalion of the Scarlet Knights has a way to deal with him. Deno suddenly grinned at Foxie, who seemed to feel that a prehistoric beast had locked him, and he had only the fate of being ruthlessly slaughtered.

"This person's murderous intent is so strong, like a 'butcher'. Francie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this guy was more terrifying than all the "strong" he had ever seen, he sensed his true killing intent, "Since my uncle has found such a person, then I will not drop my head out of fear." ”

It seemed that Furcy had thought a lot, but only a few seconds had passed. In the few seconds that Furcy was concentrating, his momentum retreated from the fear he had just now, to a firm one. After death, he no longer trembled, but gradually straightened his body in the midst of such killing intent. He will be recognized, which comes from the pride that has been preserved in his heart for two lifetimes.

"This kid's will test is barely passing. But I haven't seen you train a newcomer like this, and I can see that you have put in a lot of effort, otherwise you wouldn't have invited me here. It's just that I won't be able to hold back on my training then, in case he doesn't survive......" Deno didn't finish his words, but turned his head to look at William. It's just that William looked at Foxy very calmly, and his expression and eyes couldn't see the slightest change.

"You don't have to keep your hand, you don't have to worry, he can do it better than you think, as evidenced by that snowy night. I'll go first, this kid will be handed over to you, some of the arrangements of the Inquisition should also take effect, and this time the blood clan should pay a little more. William didn't look at Furcy again, but turned his head to look at the statue of the Virgin behind him again, and then walked through Deno, through Furcy, through the wooden seats, and disappeared behind the door.

"This guy does have the ability to do special things. Deno touched his beard and looked at Foxy in front of him, "How do you clean up this guy?" ”

"Knights often need to absorb the hardest onslaught from the enemy in the front row, which requires a knight to have a solid bottom line. Of course, it is also the knight who is responsible for the impact, and a knight must have strong arm strength to ensure that when his attack is blocked, the weapon will not be taken off, and he also has the ability to counterattack. However, it is your body that connects these two points, so from now on, all you need to do is to exercise your fragile body like dry firewood. "In a huge training ground under the Inquisition, Furcy was wearing a heavy old knight's armor, and in this huge underground room, he was running in circles, and Deno was standing in the center of the room, talking about some basic knowledge of knightly training.

"What you have to feel is about the change in severity. Attack with dexterity like the wind, unfettered by armor, and defend with the unshakability of a mountain, even if you're wearing only a cloth garment. Do you understand?" Deno didn't pay any attention to Furcy, but anyone who had been in the rookie camp for more than a year could basically relate to this feeling, he just said it in advance. It was only for a long time that all I could hear was the sound of metal rubbing against the armor on Felsey's body, and I didn't hear Felsey's answer.

"Well, since you choose to ignore me, then I have to let you feel my existence a little, and you have no right to refuse if you add another hundred circles today. Deno didn't show any anger or anything else, and he didn't even change his tone. In fact, he knew in his heart that the current Furcy must be so tired that he didn't even want to breathe, and it was normal that he couldn't answer, but he still wanted to punish, or find blame, on the one hand, the rookie camp training of the Scarlet Knights was like this, and even more intense than this, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Elsey's potential.

In the huge, bright room, Deno was still talking about something, and Foxie, shrouded in armor, was still running hard, sweat seeping out of the cracks in the armor, drawing a circle of trajectories, he was still silent, just stumbling, trying his best to take his steps, every drop of sweat fell, and turned into a tremor from the sky in the future.
