"What do you think will be the final outcome, Lord Saint?"

In the courtyard of the church, Bishop Jacob accompanied Lilith on a walk, while his spiritual power was all the way inside the church, staring at the famine knight named Durant.

The fear of heretic knights is the consensus of the church, but the church cannot leave the power of heretic knights, which is also an unspeakable truth.

The Church single-handedly suppressed the five forbidden places, and the Heretic Knights took turns guarding most of them, which gave the Church enough power to establish a great position in the world.

Once the Dark Sanctuary is liquidated, even if you don't take into account the attrition in the process, the church will be exhausted by the five forbidden places, and the glory of the past will inevitably fade with the withdrawal of a large number of combat forces.

On this basis, Jacob could do little other than some basic caregiving.

"Joshua will win, I just don't know how much trouble it will get."

Lilith's intellect told her that even if Joshua had more unique abilities, he would not be able to regain his strength.

But Lilith still had a feeling that Joshua could win.

"Holy Maiden, the specifics of that night in Montenegro ......"

"I've already said it."

Lilith had actually been asked about this more than once, after all, it involved the Sage of the Dark Moon and the Lord of Blood, and Lilith had explained as much as she could to say what she could.

The only thing about Joshua is that she subconsciously avoids it.

"Don't spread the word about today."

Lilith remembered what Joshua had said at that time, and it was not a silence, but a spiritual suggestion.

It wasn't Joshua's deliberate intention, but that Joshua at that time did reach a certain level that was difficult for humans to reach, so what he said at that time would carry such power.

Lilith considered using the goddess's powers to break free from the bondage, but she gave up on it.

If Joshua's power were reported, what kind of shaking would it cause at the top of the church?

The idea that such a power, if it cannot be used by the Church, should not be left to others, is the right choice for the cardinals.

Will this push Joshua into something else?

I think the goddess was worried about this, so she let her go to woo Joshua alone.

"Since the Holy Maiden has so much confidence in him, let's sit back and watch the situation unfold."

The Holy Maiden was so special in the church that Jacob didn't want to offend him, even if he didn't have much real power, and he could only watch the situation unfold and see where Joshua's potential was.

If Adolf hadn't died so early, it would have been nice to come back with more useful information.

……

"It's a famine knight, it's a problem."

Juno's voice echoed in her ears, but the cloud-shrouded Dark Sanctuary was not so mysterious to her.

"The four heretical knights have their own specialties, among which the Knights of Famine are the ones who manipulate nightmares to bewitch others, and they are the first class of evildoers before the establishment of the Dark Sanctuary."

Do you use nightmares to confuse others?

Joshua had a bad feeling.

"Don't worry, after all, he is the inheritor of the Saint Monks, even if he doesn't pass my test, the final result will only be that I erase everything related to the Dark Sanctuary."

"How to erase it?"

Joshua didn't believe that an organization that was a headache for even the Inquisition would end so simply after failing its trial.

"To use a simple analogy, the brain is an amazing organ, and if there's a way to make your brain think you've been killed, then you're going to really feel pain, even if you're not hurt in reality."

Durant telling secrets that the world doesn't know is nothing new to Joshua.

"So you're going to erase everything this way?"

"That's right."

Durant put the scriptures aside and drew the sword at his waist at the same time, he really didn't lie, if according to the previous rules, the way to deal with this kind of failed person Dark Sanctuary is to kill it directly.

After all, how many people can be chosen as heretic knights without blood on their hands?

Such people would not be innocent even if they were all killed, and Anna was clearly on the side that was given preferential treatment.

Erase all information about the Dark Sanctuary and Anna will never be able to remember these things in the future, as it would hurt her to force herself to think about it.

"And why did you find me?"

"Quite simply, I'm not sure whose hands the legacy of Saint Frius is."

Durant looked at Joshua, and at the moment, Joshua's strength is indeed the same as in the report, he became a professional magician some time ago, but that's the end of it.

"I don't doubt that the matter in Black Mountain Town can be solved, after all, as long as the Holy Maiden does not want to invite the doppelganger of the goddess, then all difficulties can be solved, and the only price is the life of the Holy Maiden."

Listening to Durant's tone, the Dark Sanctuary side only gave Lilith basic etiquette, but they didn't care much about her own life and death.

"The Holy Maiden has no words about your role in Black Mountain, and I have reason to suspect that she is helping you hide the legacy of the Dark Sanctuary, and that is enough."

The legacy of the Dark Sanctuary cannot be passed on, because the power of this evil god is simply beyond the control of ordinary people.

This is an oath that every member of the Dark Sanctuary must keep, and if it is Saint Frius who teaches the two, then Durant naturally has no reason to doubt a saint.

But Saint Hus has been polluted, and the one who gave up some of his strength and returned was just an old priest named Andrei.

In this case, it is not impossible for the other party to do something that violates the precepts of the Dark Sanctuary.

"By the way, you can refuse my trial, after all, I have no evidence that you have a heritage, but I suggest you have better make a move on me."

Durant threw the sword in front of Joshua with the sword he picked up.

"Anna is trapped in dreams now, and if you can put enough pressure on me, then I will inevitably be in a dilemma between reality and dreams, and she will have a greater chance of passing the assessment."

Looking at the approaching Durant and the sword in front of him, Joshua knew that he had no choice.

Just now, Juno had told him that the best way to fight them was to keep the Knights of Famine in the midst of reality and dreams.

Joshua had to hold the sword in front of him.

"I want to ask a question."

"Ask."

"Why do heretic knights use the power of evil gods?"

Joshua understood that the Dark Sanctuary was understandable from a third-party perspective, that the power of the evil gods was uncontrollable, and that any lineage that had fallen out of the world would be erased if it could not be used for it.

But isn't the root of the problem the fact that the heretical knights have an improper source of power?

Do the lineages of the saints like to ask questions? However, this question will require you to pass the test before you can get an answer. ”

"Okay, I'll settle the fight as soon as possible."

Joshua grasped the sword of the branch, and then the pale blue flames climbed up the blade, and under the blue firelight, Joshua abandoned superfluous feelings and stared at the person in front of him with cold eyes.

[The test is the test of the superior to the inferior, and it is the existence that the inferior fears but can't ask for, Durant obviously didn't understand the true meaning of the test, because he is the one who is lowered to the test at this time. 】

……

Where is this?

Anna opened her eyes, and she looked at the endless sea in front of her, and she was on top of a small fishing boat.

"So let's start with a simple question."

Durant's voice came from above, and as the voice sounded, two large ships suddenly appeared above the sea.

"Now there are two ships in front of you, one with 99 people on board and the other with 100 people, and now the bottom of the ship is broken, only you can save them, but the time you give you can only save one of them, now make your choice."

This is a problem that every member of the Dark Templars goes through.

They will face countless such choices in the future battles, after all, cultists and cults are completely unable to restrain them with human morality.

Absolute rationality without giving up morality is the first lesson of the Dark Sanctuary members.

If you can't pass this......

"That's it?"

Anna's indifferent voice came, and she looked up at the sky, as if looking for something in the endless sky.

As for the cries for help that came from the original, she turned a deaf ear.

"Father André asked Joshua such a question a long time ago, and you still throw such a question, and you don't seem to be looking deep enough into me.

Anna let out a sigh of relief, apparently more concerned about the fact that something in her memory would not be seen than the "human life" in front of her.

Yes, before your true self is seen, solve the problem in front of you.

It started to rain again.

"Huh?"

Durant immediately sensed that something was wrong with the rain, he didn't arrange it, and the smell of the rain was exactly the same as the rain in the previous dream.

"Joshua said that this is called the trolley problem, and the real purpose of this problem is not how to make choices, but to set the standard for life through choice."

The pure rain fell into Anna's hands, and then they converged into the shape of a long sword, wisps of blood emerged from the rain, and the smell of blood began to spread.

Erosion of this sea.

"This question cannot be answered, because once answered, one admits that human life can be measured by value, which is stepping into the trap of the questioner."

"But you have to answer, because this kind of thing is not a human problem for the Dark Sanctuary, but a common thing."

Durant, of course, doesn't accept such an answer.

As Anna said, it doesn't matter what the answer to this question is, what matters is that the Dark Sanctuary judges the other person's heart through the answer.

Of course, it is also a good thing to be absolutely rational or to give up morality, at least as a tool to kill the enemy.

Never relentless when killing enemies, and decisively killing herself when eroded by the power of evil gods, this is the best knight of the Dark Sanctuary, so Anna must make a choice.

"Actually, there's a third choice for this topic, isn't it?"

"The third?"

"That's right, since there is always one side to die, then why can't this side be you?"

Anna thought back to Joshua's answer.

The clear sea was stained red with blood, and with Anna's leap, the huge waves directly overturned the two large ships, and she finally found a flaw in the sky.

A feat that only ancient myths can only be achieved in ancient myths is not difficult to achieve in dreams, and when a huge wave touches something in the sky, a crisp sound is heard.

After the "world" shattered, Anna opened her eyes.

It's still the same rainy street, and it's still bright red blood in the sky.

Durant looked at Anna in amazement, it was just a problem to stall for time that was solved so quickly, and in this way.

"So can the test be over? I felt it, and Joshua was nearby. ”

Ever since that communion, Anna could vaguely feel Joshua's presence, and she could sense that Joshua was worried about her at this time.

Anna had no interest in continuing to "play" with the person in front of her.

"That's not good, the trials that belong to you and the trials that belong to him can't be confused, only by trapping you here can I see if he has the inheritance of the Dark Sanctuary or not."

Although the dream within the dream was cracked, Durant still did not panic.

Obviously, it is not a stressful thing for a legend to face two grandmasters, or if they can't cope with it, it will be a real shame.

But...... Inexplicable pressure came, not only the pressure from the physical body in reality, but the girl in front of him also gave him a certain amount of pressure.

"You...... Do you want to do something to Joshua? ”

Anna's face became gloomy, the meaning of her cultivation of fighting spirit was to protect Joshua, and the person in front of her ......

Unforgivable.

Anna took a step forward, and the blood on the ground splashed and gathered into a long sword, and the rain falling from the sky fell like a sharp blade on Durant.

Is she fighting for control of this dream?

Although this is Anna's dream, but with the absolute difference in strength, Anna shouldn't be able to do such a thing, but ......

"I see, I have finally determined that you are indeed the inheritor of the Saint Theseus."

Durant looked at the waves of blood surging in front of him, drowning everything into sharp blades, turning everything in front of him into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

There is no doubt that this is the legacy of the War Knights, but Joshua is not a useless man.

"Let Joshua be the reins of Anna, and restrain this girl from going down the wrong path, it should be said that it is really worthy of you."

In a country like Black Mountain, without experiencing any killing, without fighting an evenly matched enemy, Anna cultivated to the Grandmaster in this way.

Now stimulated by the outside world, the original deep foundation has begun to move towards a legend.

If such a genius had no reins, who knew where she would go in the future, and the old priest had been prepared from the beginning.
