Chapter 11: Everyman's Sword

"If you want to be powerful, you have to pay a price, and no one is exempt. - Rondell Landou

In August, the northern continent is about to enter a cold autumn. The scorching sun of the past few days seemed to have turned into a distant past, and almost overnight, the fallen leaves of the maple trees buried the city of Constantine. The wanton invasion of the white mist made the city of Constantine in the dark night seem a little strange and mysterious, like a sleeping giant beast crawling on the earth.

Through the narrow window, Foxy vaguely saw several figures disappearing into the depths of the fog in the street not far away. As the scheduled time drew closer, the actions of each of the stalker squads in the Inquisition became more frequent. However, neither Denor nor his uncle William became nervous or anxious about such an important event, and Fercy continued to practice every day.

"'Apocalypse Awakening', one of the most significant events on the continent. A thousand years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas created a complete hierarchy of abilities that showed people the path they should take after immortality. Therefore, the gods, angered by St. Thomas Aquinas, sent down the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to punish mankind. But since then, the heavens and the gods seem to have disappeared, and all the miracles have been hidden. A new godless age has begun on the continent. It's just that after the first Horsemen of the Apocalypse was quelled, people thought it was all over. The trail of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has once again appeared on the continent. After the research of many saints, it was discovered that the original Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse connected their inheritance with the river of fate of nothingness, and every certain amount of time, the inheritance accumulated enough power to project its own power in the long river of fate, and find the inheritor to complete his unfinished mission. From the first apocalypse to the present, there have been a total of six 'Apocalypse Awakenings', and it is speculated that the next 'Apocalypse Awakening' is also coming. Since having two magical experiences, Furcy has been full of doubts and curiosity about the "Apocalypse Awakening", and he is trying to thoroughly understand this unknown world by reading books, and find his way to the future by understanding the stories that have happened in this world.

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are: War, Killing, Hunger, and Death. Death has always been seen as the 'first apocalypse', followed by the 'apocalypse' killing, the 'apocalypse' war, and the 'apocalypse' hunger. Although it is said that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are gods who come down to punish humans, but the death knight is a little different from the other three knights, it is said that this knight and his inheritors are more mavericks and like to act alone on the continent, otherwise it will be difficult for the strong people on the continent to end every disaster. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse all have very powerful abilities, so under such temptation, there are many strong people on the continent who are eager for power to oppose the entire continent and take refuge under the command of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and these people are called 'outcasts'. In terms of the choice of followers, the Death Knight is different from other Apocalypse Knights, almost every time this knight will not accept more than seven followers. And when the 'Apocalypse Awakening' ended, people almost didn't know who the Death Knight's retinue was, and these people seemed to have disappeared from the continent and never appeared again. Seeing this, Furssey closed the "Day and Night Chronological Yearbook" in his hand, and the image he saw kept coming to his mind, the lonely and lonely back should be the death of the "First Apocalypse", but he still didn't understand why he saw the back, why the back made his voice. If he had been the "first apocalypse", there would have been some differences, but Furcy still hasn't felt a difference. As for what will happen to the "Apocalypse Awakening", this has already involved important secrets on the mainland, and Foxy has not been able to find clues in such a small library.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things now, it's better to learn more things before Deno leaves, I really don't have much time left. Furcy lay down on the cot, closed his eyes gently, and drifted off to sleep after the day's complicated reflections.

The Holy Roman Empire, located in the center of the continent, was built on the Great Plain of Fabro. Such a country, whose ruling territory is barely equal to that of the Principality of Macedonia, and is still in such a place of four wars that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it is deeply feared by all the countries on the continent. All because this is the church state, the center of all the churches on the main road. This tiny state monopolizes three of the mainland's "Ten Cathedrals" – St. Peter's Basilica, Milan Cathedral and Siena Cathedral – and is home to the Inquisition and the Chamber of Final Judgment. And on such a cloudy morning, thirty-two knights hidden under blood-colored cloaks galloped out of a certain lane in Rome, the capital of the empire, and passed through the west gate of the capital, and disappeared straight into the distant horizon. At this moment, in the northwest corner of the city of Rome, the Vatican, known as the "Papal State" and the seat of St. Peter's Basilica, suddenly rang with an inexplicably sad bell and chanting, and after ringing thirteen times, the bell disappeared without a trace.

"The Ominous Thirteen ......" At this moment, every strong person who was still in Rome realized that the great movement of the church had begun from this moment.

At this moment, on the banks of the Tiber River, Castel Sant'Angelo under the clouds looks extremely majestic and terrifying, because vicious dogs can give people intimidation even if they are quiet. This place is the source of all the Inquisitions on the continent - the seat of the Final Inquisition. The Tiber River flows slowly into the city of Rome and looks as clear as if it were a river flowing from heaven, but many people know that the water of this river is mixed with the blood of countless "heretics". And somewhere in the window of Castel Sant'Angelo with a view of the Tiber, a pair of cloudy eyes like ordinary people were quietly closed. As the presiding judge of the Inquisition, Shylock Roshbach's heart is no longer as peaceful as when he first sat in this position, and he can now understand the complicated eyes of the previous generation of presiding judges before leaving, which means that there is a huge vortex in this position, which will seize your heart and continue to eat your soul.

"After the 'bloodbath', it will be eventful, although the Patriarch has successfully predicted the location of 'hunger' with great prophecy, but this time he has to retreat. The 'heretics' will be ready to stir again after they have been given a respite. Shylock rubbed his temples with his own hands, although the strength reached the point that a person like him would not usually be tired or tired, but it was his heart that really felt tired.

"Since you are ready to move at the time of the 'Apocalypse Awakening', you must be aware of what you deserve. In the huge, empty room, only the sound of the Tiber River echoing outside the window.

"Air shield block!" Recently, many of the pursuers in the Inquisition of Constantine City have known a teenager, and it is said that this young man is a distant nephew of William, and he has come here to hone himself for the spring enrollment of major colleges and universities in the spring of next year. So in the huge training ground shared by everyone, the figure of this thin-looking teenager began to appear frequently. The young man's instructor seemed to be a knight from the Scarlet Knights of Lorangaros, the imperial capital, but his training method sent a chill down the spine of some of the pursuers. He actually asked this young man to skip the level to challenge some reserve hunters in the inquisition, even the weakest person who was going to join the intelligence center among the reserve hunters had at least fourth-order strength, but this young man only had first-order strength, and the profession he chose was still a knight, and the result was that this young man fell on the martial platform with bruises all over his body every time. Because this young man's instructor asked them not to keep their hands during the duel, and as long as they didn't break his bones, there would be no problem, so many people took their grievances from their training on this young man, and every time the situation on the stage was bloody, after all, if they lost to a first-order teenager like this, they would not have the face to stay in the inquisition. But what these pre-hunters admired was that the boy never bowed his head and threw in the towel, and fought stubbornly every time until he could no longer fight. Even so, the instructor from the imperial capital still let the boy play ten games a day before he could get a break, so these prep hunters were rumoring that this instructor was not from the imperial capital but from "hell". It's just that two days later, these "novices" found that something was wrong, this teenager could only barely make six or seven moves the day before, and after a day, he could block more than a dozen moves, and in some small places, he would "yin" them, and today everything seems to be different.

"It's not like this kid hasn't eaten, the day before yesterday it only took six moves to beat this little ghost to the ground, why is it still such a stalemate today. Under the martial stage, everyone was whispering comments, and these comments reached the ears of the big man on the stage, which couldn't help but make him angry, and then he looked at Furcy in front of him more and more unpleasantly. In fact, he also has his own selfish intentions in the duel with this little ghost, after a few days of duel, he did not find that William had come to see this little ghost, and the instructor of this little ghost does not seem to be very concerned about this little ghost, and has never done any guidance for him, he did not make a move yesterday is thinking, if he can solve this little ghost in a very perfect way, maybe he will be able to get the teaching of this knight from the imperial capital, even if this chance is only one percent, but the life of a little ghost is compared with the one percent chance of becoming stronger, there is no need to choose at all。 So today he chose to be the first one, and now he doesn't want to beat this little ghost to admit defeat himself, but has a murderous intent.

"This guy has murderous intentions, it seems that there are really 'bold' 'novices' in our court. Just a few dozen meters away, under another martial arts platform, Haisen was looking at Furcy not far away with a very relaxed expression.

"Deno Battle, an emissary of the Scarlet Knights of the Imperial Capital, and a good friend of William's Special Order. This guy named Carmon saw that point and wanted to kill Furcy, it must be the demon who blinded him, hoping that his soul could be purified after death. Standing next to Hayzen was Nesha, and the three members of the Third Hunter Squad had all been considered Furcy's teachers, so the three of them had no bad impression of Furcy.

"Crash. Carmon couldn't strike and quickly distanced himself from Furcy. With a loud snort, he rushed to where Furcy was.

"Warrior, a class separated from the swordsman, serves as a knight-like guardian, but due to mobility and class overlap, few people choose the warrior class. The biggest feature of the warrior profession is that it has a certain combat power of a swordsman and also has a certain defensive ability of a knight, but the biggest drawback of a warrior is that the mobility is too poor, because the warrior has little requirement for movement speed, so it is easy to be restrained. Even a knight is required to have a certain amount of dodge and mobility due to the absence of a war horse, and a low-level warrior will not have too many movement skills, so as long as you dodge his dash skills, you will be able to find a chance to counterattack. The expression on Felsey's face didn't change much in the face of Carmon's sprint, and he was also calculating the distance between Carmon and himself.

"Four yards, three yards, two yards! A blast!" Just as a violent wind had already hit Furcy's face, Francie finally suddenly exerted his strength and moved sideways at an incredible angle.

"Boy, you've been tricked!" However, at this time, Carmon's face was not panicked by the skill being dodged by Falsy, but he showed a hideous smile.

"This kid is crazy, he wants to kill him!" The people in the audience who were familiar with Carmon could see at a glance that Carmon was actually murderous to this young man. These guys all know that Camon is a warrior, and they also know that Camon has specially learned two unique skills for his weaknesses, one is the dash just now, and the other is the tiger slash. The Tiger Slash is similar to the Jump Slash, but sacrifices damage, increases movement, and can change direction in a small area. The Tiger Slash, which uses the power of the dash, makes up for the lack of damage, and even the strong of the same level will take a lot of damage if they are defenseless. For Foxy, who had just reached the first order, this injury was a fatal injury. Standing on the sidelines, Deno didn't move, as if he had really given up on Furcy, which made the smile on Carmon's face more and more hideous and bright, and he seemed to have seen the opportunity to become stronger beckoning to him.

"Huh-" It's just that as the bearer of all this, Foxie's face still didn't show any other expression, and he still looked calm, "Cut in quickly." ”

With a slight leap in a lower stance, Foxy flipped himself a hundred and eighty degrees in the air, just in time to pass Carmon face to face, and just as Carmon was stunned, Foxie's sword slashed into his thigh. And all this happened in a split second. In the next second, Furcy's back was heavily "kissed" with the earth, and then the tearing sensation of the back and leg muscles also reached his brain without hesitation, the action just now was enough to make ordinary people crippled, and he did it.

"Little ghost-" Carmon was really angry, being played by a little ghost of the first order, which could not be forgiven in any way. But when he turned around, he saw Deno's right hand.

"Touch!" Blood continued to flow down the stone slab of Wutai, and Kamon's body was like a rag on the ground. All Deno had just done was press his head "gently" against the slate.

"I'll take this kid away, and I'll be indefinite. Deno glanced at the silent crowd in the audience, grabbed Foxie, strode towards the exit of the training ground, and disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.

"The 'blood cup' is about to be in place, the plan has begun, let's go. Hayson glanced at the blood on the platform not far away, and left the training ground with Nesha, which had fallen completely into silence. It's just that many people here don't know that just today, the Church is about to show its sword called the "Inquisition".
