Chapter 66: The Strongest Knight in the Continent
"Look...... The Marquise Liszt is mentioned in this rì. ”
Du Wei's words immediately dispelled Dardanelle's resistance to watching Goffett's memorization. This loyal warrior of the Liszt family was still very concerned about any news about his mistress.
He leaned over and stood beside Du Wei, reading the rì left by the dead Holy Knight.
"January 6 rì. Today I met the Marquise Liszt, an elegant and charming lady. Thanks to this noble lady, her donation is a manifestation of devout faith in the gods, and may the gods bless her. Today I unceremoniously taught a fellow who tried to be disrespectful to this lady. I can't believe that there is still such a despicable magician, and I will report today's incident to the Magic Guild. A devout believer of such stature as Madame Liszt should be protected by the temple, and even a magician could not wantonly bully the believers of the temple. And disrespect for such an elegant and beautiful lady is intolerable to any knight. ”
Dewey immediately judged that this should be recorded on the day when Goffett had just met the Marquise Liszt and coincidentally helped her get rid of the evil magician who was trying to pester the beautiful Marquise.
Apparently, however, Goffett did not know that the Marquise had fallen under a magical curse. Because, he left very quickly.
"January 11. Blessing of rì. Praise the Almighty God. Praise the Goddess for giving light to the world.
Today I have received an urgent summons from the Shrine, and I will be ordered to rush to the north, where I will join the knight brothers of the Temple. This mission was an order signed by the cardinal of the temple. I know that there must be another evil, violator of the honor of the Temple, because it is only against these fellows that we Holy Knights will be given a mission. This mission does not seem to be easy, and the Bishop has mobilized three Rank 8 Knights, and I will be one of the leaders of this operation. God above, I have never wavered in my faith in you. No matter how powerful the enemy he faced, Goffett was willing to defend the glory of the temple with his life. The sword of the Holy Knight will mercilessly cut off all evils that dare to challenge the majesty of the Temple!"
Du Wei sighed, and it could be seen between the lines that this was a holy knight with extremely religious beliefs.
"January 14. Punishment of rì. I am willing to tear through the darkness with my blood and let the light reappear on earth.
The search team has been formed, and I will lead ten knights into the frozen forest. I still don't know who this mission is targeting. The commander of this operation was actually Judge Murray! I know very well. The Judge Master of the Temple was able to alarm the Divine Temple, and summoned a full forty Holy Knights, including three Rank 8 Knights, to dispatch. This must be a big deal. The Judge was very serious this time, and he told me that this time it was a warrant from His Majesty the Pope himself, and that we were going to face this enemy, a fellow with an evil soul, and that he was a traitor to the Temple. is a former temple cleric who has turned his back on his beliefs. His Majesty the Pope was particularly furious for this, and His Majesty's warrant was: Kill on the spot, no trial.
In any case, when I saw the name on His Majesty's warrant, I couldn't believe my eyes...... Forgive me, the gods forgive me, I dare not have even the slightest doubt about His Majesty's intentions. I believe that His Majesty the Pope is the spokesman of the gods on earth...... However, the contents of this warrant kept me awake.
Hussein, the pride of the Holy Knights, one of the strongest Holy Knights, why would you betray your faith!"
Du Wei and Dardanelle looked at each other.
Hussein...... Who is it?" Du Wei looked at Dardanelle, "I don't know much about the Holy Knights. ”
Dardanelle seemed to swallow and spit out. Shock was clearly written on his face: "Lord Hussein...... He's betrayed the Temple!Oh my God, it's terrible!!"
"Terrible?" Du Wei was puzzled.
Dardanelle's eyes were closed. He shook his head and took a few deep breaths before letting out a sigh that bordered on moaning: "You...... Harry, you really haven't heard the name Hussein?"
Du Wei shook his head. After coming to this world, he has been relatively withdrawn since he was a child. After falling out of favor, he spent all his jīng energy on reading books and studying. I don't really care about things out there.
Is this Hussein famous?
"Among the knights of the continent, the overall quality of the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light is the highest, because their beliefs are the most devout, and they are all ascetics who have been training themselves fiercely since childhood. In the current Holy Knights of the Temple of Light, the three most powerful knights are recognized as the current three knights. And Hussein, is one of them. Dardanelle whispered: If you say an exaggeration, even if someone says that Hussein is the idol of the young knights of almost the entire continent, or the target of pursuit, it is not an exaggeration. ”
"Why?"
"Because in the past hundred years, he is the only one who has reached the eighth level of knight before the age of twenty-five and obtained the title of 'great knight' genius! You also know that only knights above the eighth level are qualified to become great knights, and Hussein reached this state at the age of twenty-five, and in a hundred years, he is the first! Then he became one of the three major knights of the Holy Knights at the age of thirty! He is a recognized genius, no ...... It should be said that it is a genius among geniuses!" Dardanelle's voice was very serious: "The Knight Captain of the Holy Knights has always only let the most powerful of the Holy Knights take the role. Among the current three knight elders, except for Hussein, who is only thirty years old, the other two knight elders are already in their early forties. Moreover, the other two knight elders, one is the lord of Luke Knight, a ninth-level knight, but when he broke through from the eighth level to the ninth level, he was already forty years old. The other Lord Kaili also reached the ninth level of knighthood at the age of forty. Dardanelle said in a low voice: "Rank 9 knight, there is only one step away from the paladin, but in a hundred years, there has been no paladin on the continent in these hundred years. And the three major knight captains of each generation of the Holy Knights are only ninth-level knights. ”
"So, this Hussein is also a ninth-level knight?" asked Du Wei.
"Yes. Dardanelle's face was even more strange: "As I said just now, he reached level eight when he was twenty-five years old, guess how old he was to reach level nine?"
"Thirty years old?" asked Du Wei tentatively, "Didn't you say that he became a knight chief when he was thirty years old?"
"Nope. Dardanelle shook his head with a wry smile: "Much earlier! He had reached level nine a long time ago, but because he was so young, the temple really couldn't let such a young man lead so many holy knights." So he didn't rise to the rank of Knight Captain until he was thirty years old. And when he won the title of Ninth Rank Knight, it was ......" Speaking of this, Dardanelle took a deep breath, he lowered his voice, and even had a bit of reverence on his face:
"Twenty-six!"
Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "In other words, after he obtained the title of level eight, he broke through the first level within a year?"
"It's more than that. Dardanelle's answer surprised Du Wei: "There are even rumors that Hussein's strength has broken through the ninth level, but it is only a little short of the tenth-level paladin." Now there is no paladin on the continent, the ninth-level knight is already the strongest knight at present, and Hussein is recognized as the most powerful ninth-level knight! Some people even think that he is now the number one knight in the entire continent! Even the Holy Knights admit that Hussein's strength has surpassed the other two knights. And, when he did this, he was only twenty-six years old!Twenty-six!!"
Du Wei couldn't help but be moved.
Twenty-six-year-old Continent's First Knight?!
"Over the years, although Hussein has not really broken through the barrier of the paladin, everyone thinks that he will definitely become a paladin, and he is also the first paladin to appear on the mainland in a hundred years! That's why the temple appointed Hussein, who had just turned thirty, to the position of chief knight. And before that, in history, those who could become the Knight Captain of the Holy Knights at the age of thirty were all people who later became Paladins without exception!"
Both of them guessed that when the Holy Knight was dispatched, something big must have happened. But I never expected things to be so shocking!
Recognized as the number one knight of the continent and one of the three chief knights of the Holy Knights, he actually betrayed the temple and was ordered by the temple to send the holy knights to hunt him down!
It seems that this matter has been done very secretly, and the news has not been circulated, otherwise, it will definitely be the biggest news that has caused a sensation on the entire continent!
Du Wei and Dardanelle looked at each other for a long time, and both of them saw shock in each other's eyes, of course, more puzzlement.
Hussein, a genius who was praised by everyone. A genius who ascended to the position of the three chief knights of the Holy Knights at the age of thirty! He was respected by the temple and admired by the world, and he also possessed a peerless genius, recognized as a future paladin...... It can be said that he has a future like brocade!
How could such a person suddenly betray the temple and become a traitor to the temple and kill him so quickly?
