I have to say that this did surprise Duanmu Huai.

The so-called Divine Knight, according to the words of the Empire, is ——— psychic who has received the attention of the Emperor.

The so-called "The emperor pays attention to everyone, but there are always some people who are more favored by him" is used to refer to this group of people who have people above them.

Of course, this kind of attention is not random, basically the gods belong to the existence with strong spiritual energy, so they will receive the attention of the gods.

But this is not a good thing, like Duanmu Huai, if he encounters an evil god's dependents, he will definitely be killed directly regardless of 3721 to prevent future troubles. In the same way, gods like Emilia will be targeted by other evil gods or demons, and the chances of either falling or dying are higher.

From this point of view, the world can be regarded as a typical example of the success of the "Black Hole Project".

Originally, there are always psychic beings born in this world, and you can't prevent him from being born, just like there are evil gods in the world, and it doesn't exist if you don't admit it. And when the Black Hole Project was implemented, the problem of these psionics was considered, which is also one of the reasons for the second phase of the god-making plan.

Therefore, it is necessary to create a large number of gods to divert the belief of psionics, whether they believe in the local indigenous people or other gods, in short, as long as they can divert psionics who will be attracted to evil gods as much as possible, the recovery of the other party can be slowed down to a certain extent.

Like the novice village and this world, there are many gods like stars, and there are many psionic people, so that when the evil gods come here to hold a job fair, they find that talents are basically monopolized by local companies.........

Hey, that's very comfortable.

Speaking of which, the Knights and the Garrison were very respectful when they saw her.

Duanmu Huai also remembered that when Emilia took them to investigate in Neverwinter before, whether it was the knight in charge of patrolling or the soldiers of the garrison, they would greet Amilia. At that time, Duanmu Huai didn't care about it, but he just thought that it was because of Amelia's good looks, so he was popular, and now that he thinks about it, it is likely to have something to do with Amelia's identity as a god knight.

If that's the case, it's strange that Erebes sent Emilia to lead the investigation team.

At the beginning, Duanmu Huai saw that Emilia and Lokixi were very disgusted, in his opinion, these were two stinky little girls, and it was estimated that Erebeth also sent them a task casually, so that they would not get in the way, so they were involved with themselves, in short, they used themselves as nannies.

But now this idea is obviously not valid, unless Erebis is an inner ghost, how can he bring his own god-favored knight to the gutter?

Aren't you afraid that Tyre will thunder down and chop her to death?

Or is this a test for the knights of the gods?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with yourself anyway.

But then again...............

"You better not rush so forward."

Duanmu Huai grabbed Emilia by the shoulder and pulled her back.

"But, but here ..............."

"The pollution of the Corrupt Dirt is not so easy to remove, and you don't have much power left."

That's right, although as long as Emilia moves forward, the growth where her light shines will retreat, but most of that is still due to Amelia's own spiritual ability, although the people here are just some fragile corrupted cultists, but Amilia's approach is still a bit of a seven-wound fist.

It's okay to fight like this for a short time, but once it turns into a long-term war, it's a different matter.

"Whew......... Whew........."

Sure enough, at this moment, Emilia was also panting and sweating profusely.

"But, but the evil here has not been completely purified........."

"Purify a fart, keep it is a scourge, burn it and it's over!"

Duanmu Huai said as he raised the war hammer and slammed it down in front of him, the black flames spread and exploded instantly, and in the blink of an eye, everything around him was shrouded in a raging sea of fire, and these black flames seemed to consciously avoid Duanmu Huai and the others, just devouring everything they came into contact with.

"These monsters seem to be afraid of your flames, Mr. Duanmu?"

Emilia had discovered this, too, and the plague aberrations were visibly more terrified of the flames of the Duanmu Wood than their own light. Although she didn't feel any evil power from the black flame, the aura brought by the burning flame really made her uncomfortable.

"It's normal, because that's their natural predator."

Hearing Amelia's inquiry, Duanmu Huai showed a hideous smile. The Corrupted Dirt is the god of life, and the Black Flame is the death of destiny, the end of the death of all things in the world. The two can be said to be completely opposed, so the Corrupted Dirt instinctively will be terrified of the black flame of Duanmu Locust, and of course——— Duanmu Locust will not let go of this group of damn heretical mongrels just because they are pitiful.

Compared with Emilia and Duanmu Huai on the front line, Ogis and Lokihi in the back seem a little leisurely, but Ogis is really leisurely, she even holds a book in one hand, reading while walking, and at the same time the fingers of her left hand hang down and tremble slightly, and then the scattered invisible silk threads surround the surroundings like this, cutting everything that dares to hinder her into thin pieces.

Luo Qixi was bitter, clenching the staff and looking around uneasily, the erosion of the fortress in front of her also brought a great shock to Luo Qixi——— it was the first time she had seen such a terrifying, disgusting and weird scene, it was simply a hellish scene.

"Whoa!!"

Just as everyone turned the corner, suddenly the wall next to Lokixi suddenly collapsed, and then a deformed body roared and raised its long sword and rushed over.

"Wow!!"

Seeing the monster that suddenly appeared in front of him, his whole body was green and swollen, and it was full of twisted and mutated flesh, Luo Qixi was frightened and froze. However, O'Kis only pointed with his left hand next to him, and then saw the silk thread quickly condense into a knight's spear, which pierced directly through the chest of the deformed object, nailing it to the wall behind it, and the next moment the black flame flowed down, like a flame meeting gasoline, completely engulfing the aberrant in the blink of an eye.

"Tut-tut, look at you."

Duanmu Huai glanced at Luo Qixi with disgust.

"A mage will shout in the back, what use do you say you want?"

"I, I'm just a mage!"

At this point, Lokihi was about to cry.

As for targeting me along the way?

"I'm not like you and Miss Amilia, I don't have any hand-to-hand combat skills........."

"What are you talking about, I'm also a mage, and I'm still a graduate of the Eight Classics Magic Academy."

“…………… Huh? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, not only Luo Qixi was stunned, but even Emilia turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai in surprise.

"Mr. Duanmu, are you a mage?"

"What? Unbelief? ”

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, raised his left hand and released a [Ice Spear Stabbing Attack], only to see several ice spikes suddenly appear out of thin air, and then roared past, turning the Nurgle Spirit not far away directly into a skewer of skewers.

“？？？”

Seeing this scene, Emilia and Lokihy were numb.

"Wait, this can't be the effect of some magic item, right?"

"Do you think I'm like the kind of cheater? Tell you, even if I don't use a warhammer, I can hammer you to death with magic! ”

"No, but you're wearing heavy armor, and the chance of heavy armor failing to cast spells......... No, so why are you dressed like this? ”

"Mage this kind of thing, light a flash spell and slash the whirlwind all over and you're done! You're going astray! ”

"Am I going astray?"

Luo Qixi was speechless.

She's one of the best graduates of the Academy of Magic ever, so why did she go astray? On the other hand, if you go to the academy and make such a fuss in front of the teachers, they ......... Well, they don't seem to be able to do anything to you.

Recalling the fighting style of Duanmu Huai before, Luo Qixi shrank silently.

"As for you......... You won't be able to click on the Whirlwind Slash, but it's still pretty good to learn how to stealth a thief. ”

"I'm a mage, and you're going to let me learn thieves?"

Hearing this, Luo Qixi suddenly couldn't accept it.

"What does it matter? With stealth and silent casting, you can hide and launch a surprise attack, isn't it better than being stupidly attacked by someone else? ”

What Duanmu Huai said is also a common technique used by players in this world. One of the reasons why this world is very popular with players is that the magic here is very diverse, although the offensive spells are basically a bit less powerful than the player's eye, but the other spells are very useful for the player.

Just like the mage mansion, it is basically a must for players in the later stage to place large dungeons, because most of the later large dungeon players are fighting in the world of evil gods, and fighting in this kind of place, you can't even rest well, maybe you will be polluted by the other party somewhere you sit and rest.

At this time, it is very important to have a mage mansion, although it is said that the space opened up by a player is not large, but it can completely isolate the influence of the outside world, and can allow the team to rest and recuperate very comfortably.

Therefore, when players get off the dungeon in the later stage, they often meet the public screen asking for "come to a spiritual energy of the mage's mansion to fight a group of 25 ++++" and the like.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai learned that Luo Qixi was a mage, and his first reaction was to ask her for the mage's mansion.

After all, this thing is basically a must-have in the later game, and you don't have to have a teammate to do it.

Therefore, players learn in this world, which is basically a hodgepodge of various professions, and what method is the diving bow, and the battle poetry dragon are all standard. A mage like Luo Qixi, who only points to the mage, and is also a mage of the plastic energy department, is really the kind that no one wants in the next book, and the dog ignores it.

Thanks to Luo Qixi, she didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking in her head, otherwise she would have to die of anger.

Although Duanmuhuai doesn't speak well, Luo Qixi thinks about it carefully, and it is not unreasonable, after all, she is often discriminated against outside because of her own problems, and she has also had the experience of being hunted down and killed. Sometimes it can be solved with magic, but most of the time it is dodged by being petite. Luo Qixi had never thought of learning the skills of thieves before, but Duanmu Huai said this......... Seems to be quite useful?

Do you want to go back and study?

"Boom!!"

Just as Luo Qixi was thinking, suddenly a loud noise came, and when he looked up, he saw that Duanmu Huai was slamming open a door at this moment, and the cultists inside swarmed out, and then he saw those cultists like flies being smashed directly by Duanmu Huai's hammer to the wall next to him, turning into flesh and blood paste.

“………………………”

This is definitely not a mage.

"Ah......... I really didn't expect that there would be outsiders. ”

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and everyone raised their heads to follow the sound, only to see that in a magic circle not far away, there was a devil standing, who squinted its eyes and stared at everyone, revealing a strange smile.

"It's the devil!"

Seeing the devil, Luo Qixi suddenly became nervous, and the devil looked at everyone and laughed.

"Hello, mortals, it seems that because of your arrival, these stupid fools can't complete the ritual, why don't we make a deal?"

"Deal?"

"That's right, there's a dark magic book in the room inside, and if you help me with this ritual, I'll give you something in return........."

"They are summoning demons, but the ritual is not complete."

At this moment, Luo Qixi also hurriedly whispered to everyone, although she is not a mage of the spell system, but signing a contract with an existence like a devil is a compulsory course for a mage, and Luo Qixi is of course very clear.

"Now the ritual is stuck in the final step, and the pact should have been signed for the devil to do their bidding. But because Mr. Duanmu killed the executor of the ritual, now this devil has no way to make a contract. ”

"What then?"

"I can try to take that magic book and banish it from this world."

“…………… Just do it! ”

Hearing Lokihi's words, Emilia nodded.

"Banish this evil devil from the main plane and send it back to Hell!"

"Nope."

However, at this time, Duanmu Huai suddenly intervened.

"Can't let it go."

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Emilia was taken aback and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Do you want to make a pact with the devil?"

"Of course not......... Didn't you pay attention to its body? ”

"Body??"

Emilia frowned suspiciously, and then turned her head to look at the devil inside, only to find that there seemed to be blisters and rotten marks on its body.........

"Wait, you don't mean ........."

"It has been infected with the plague, and it cannot be let out, in case it is really allowed to go back to hell, and this plague spreads, and then the whole hell does not know how many devils will be infected."

"But it's none of our business."

Luo Qixi frowned, being able to infect the devil shows that this plague is indeed very powerful, but even if the plague spreads in Bato Hell, what does it have to do with them?

And Duanmu Huai just glanced at her meaningfully.

"Don't you mages like to summon demons the most? Aren't you afraid to summon someone who is sick? ”

"Hiss —————!"

Hearing this, Luo Qixi's face suddenly turned pale.

Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, mages often summon some low-level demons to serve as their minions, in case this devil returns to Bato Hell and infects the devil of Bato Hell with Bato, and then the mages summon a demon infected with the plague to re-enter this world without knowing it.........

Good guys, repeated infections are this, with the popularity of mages in this world, that is going to bloom in full bloom!

"What then?"

"It's simple, let it stay, and ......... I'm going to kill it! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's decision, Luo Qixi was taken aback.

"This isn't a low-level devil, are you sure?"

"Of course, let's do it."

“…………… All right. ”

Now that Duanmu Huai has made a decision, Emilia has no objection——— as a paladin, she will certainly not let the other party escape if she can kill the devil and demons. Na Luo Qixi had no choice but to go to the study inside, find the dark magic book, and put it on the altar.

“…………… Swear by blasphemy..............."

Whispering incantations, Lokihi raised her hands and streaked eerie symbols in the air.

"Lift the shackles that seal this body and set it free!"

As Luo Qixi's words fell, the next moment I saw that the pillar of light that originally bound the devil disappeared instantly, and the devil suddenly opened his claws at this moment.

"Ah, I really didn't expect you to set me free! It's nice, free air......... There's also a paladin inside......... I thank you very much, but what kind of return do you want? ”

"Ogis!"

Duanmu Huai didn't bother to chat with the devil in front of him, and at the moment when the restraints were lifted and the barrier disappeared, he immediately shouted loudly. Then Ogis raised his hands, and the devil felt his limbs tighten, and he was immediately completely restrained by the invisible shackles. At the same time, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and rushed towards the devil!

"Stupid mortals!"

However, in the face of a sudden attack, the devil was not surprised.

"What you are doing is meaningless, you can't kill me at all!"

"That's, subspace creatures are hard to kill, but ..............."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai had already come to the devil, he smashed the devil's legs directly with a hammer, put it on the ground, and then raised his hand and grabbed the devil's head, and five fingers were inserted into the devil's brain like an iron rod!

"But it's not absolutely impossible to kill, go die! Hybrids of subspace! ”

"Ahh!!h

With Duanmu Huai's roar, the devil let out a terrible scream, and then saw a black flame suddenly erupt in Duanmu Huai's hand, enveloping the devil in it, and then he shook his palm vigorously, and then lifted it up!

"Poof!!"

The next moment, the devil's head was pulled out of Duanmu Huai's neck like this, and the cervical vertebrae kept shaking underneath, while the devil's head still maintained the posture of screaming in pain, and its eyes widened in horror, staring at Duanmu Huai.

"No, who are you? How do you have such power? I could feel that my soul was dying......... No, no, no, let me go back, let me go back ..............."

"Boom!!"

The flames erupted instantly, and a moment later, there was nothing in front of him, and the devil disappeared without a trace.

"No......"

Looking at the scene in front of her blankly, Amelia's eyes widened, of course she knew that Duanmu Huai would definitely be able to defeat the devil, but she didn't expect that the other party would be able to kill the devil directly!

In general, the devil is simply impossible to kill! Even a paladin can only use the power of the gods to expel the devil from the main plane! But just now, Emilia did feel the horror in the devil's tone, and the complete shattering of his soul!

It's a god-like power!

Who the hell is he?

Tribunal......... What kind of organization is it?

"Alright, call it a day."

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the surprised stares of Emilia and Lokihee, he stood up, clapped his hands, and looked around.

"So, ............ next"

However, before Duanmu Huai's words were finished, suddenly, a change appeared.

Not far from the other side of the hall, a portal suddenly opened, and everyone turned their heads to see Deszel and Van Swijk hurrying out of it, and the former even had a smug smile on his face.

"Hey, Erebes, you don't know who you're fighting against! Lie down on the ground and wait to die, I will ..............."

However, before Deszel finished speaking, he saw Duanmu Huai and the others standing in front of him, and his voice suddenly became as hoarse as a duck that had been choked by the neck.

"Yo, isn't this the Knight of Deszel........."

Looking at Deszel in front of him, Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer and split his mouth, revealing a fierce and hideous smile.

"It's better to come early than to be lucky........."
