Dardanelle didn't seem to care, and he even crouched down, examined the knight's body, and reached out and pinched his wrist twice.

"It won't be more than two days to be dead. Dardanelle stood up and frowned, "Look at his injuries...... What can cut a fourth-level knight in two?"

"And this!" Du Wei frowned, gesturing to something that had been placed with the knight's corpse.

It was a long sword, apparently the weapon worn by the knight during his lifetime. But the sword was broken in two!

"Maybe during the battle, the other party cut this guy into two pieces with a sword. Is that so?" said Dewey, frowned.

"Probably. Dardanelle glanced back at Du Wei: "This guy was buried." Look, this snowdrift is his grave. If it is a monster, the monster will not bury the corpse, but will only drag his corpse away and eat it. Only a human would do that. ”

Du Wei thought for a moment, then looked at Dardanelle: "Dardanelle, what level of warrior are you?"

"I have the title of a third-level swordsman. I don't have a high level of swordsmanship, but I'm confident in my archery. Dardanelle replied.

"I know. Du Weizheng said: "Friend, then you should have experience, you look at this broken sword...... The cuts on top are neat. It is not surprising that a powerful monster bites off the samurai's sword in one bite. But the incision is so neat. I don't think it was done by a monster, apparently, this knight didn't die at the hands of a monster, he was killed by someone. ”

Dardanelle listened to Du Wei's words, immediately gathered his thoughts, and carefully looked at the broken part of the sword.

After a long time, he raised his head: "Yes, what you said is good, but I was too careless." In this kind of place, I only pay attention to Warcraft. ”

"Still that question...... Dardanelle. You are a third-level samurai. What kind of master do you think can cut off a fourth-level warrior with a sword, or with a single sword?"

Dardanelle's face is more dignified:

"The knight of the fourth level has already mastered the fighting spirit. A knight who has mastered the fighting spirit, his strength is not low. If you want to cut it off with a sword......" Dardanelle thought as he looked at the sword...... Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"Look, Harry, look at the knight's chest...... Look at this place!"

As if he had discovered something, Dardanelle held on to the corpse. Then he pointed to a shallow mark on the leather armor on the knight's chest: "Look, here it is." See?"

Du Wei leaned over: "Hmm." It seems that there was something hanging here, probably a badge or something...... But it was taken down. ”

"It's the ground. Dardanelle nodded: "This is usually where knights wear their coats of arms. However, you can see that he already has a badge on his chest, which is the badge of a fourth-level knight issued by the knights' guild...... On the mainland, what kind of knight will wear two kinds of badges?"

The two glanced at each other. At the same time, he said loudly: "Holy Knight of the Temple of Light!"

In the religiously powerful Roland Continent, the Temple of Light has a strong religious influence, and even in some respects, this authority almost threatens the imperial rule of the empire. The temple has its own tax revenues and a certain amount of armed force. This armed force is the Holy Knights of the Temple.

The Temple of Light will train some people from a young age, and when they reach a certain age, they will distinguish each person according to their talents. When they reach adulthood, after being baptized and tested, they select the most devout people with martial arts skills to join the Holy Knights of the Temple, and their mission is to defend the honor and dignity of the Temple with their lives. Give your voice to the temple and the gods.

In the entire continent, there are only Holy Knights in the Temple of Light. Only then will he wear two knightly badges on his chest, one is the knightly rank badge of the knight association method, and the other is the glorious holy knight badge, which is a symbol of the status of the holy knight.

Similarly, when a Holy Knight dies in battle, his companions will take off the badge of the Holy Knight who died in battle, bring it back to the Temple, and store it in a place called the "Sanctuary" to commemorate the sacrifice of the fallen knight.

Dardanelle's eyes flickered, and he quickly rolled up the sleeves of the dead knight. The clothes were already frozen hard, and it was very difficult to roll them up, but when the sleeves reached the elbows, Dardanelle sighed: "It seems that I judged correctly, you see that this scar is scalded with divine oil." It is a baptism of holy knights in the temple. Every Holy Knight has a scar on his arm from this divine oil. ”

Du Wei leaned over, and sure enough, he saw a burning mark on the corpse's arm, which was very unique, as if it was a dancing flame.

Dardanelle explained: "When the young holy knights are baptized, they are accompanied by a large pot of boiling oil, and then the Pope of the Temple himself presides over the ceremony, holding a special iron sword with a seal inlaid on the head...... Together, the sword and the seal represent the mission of the Holy Knights to defend the authority of the gods in the world, with 'force and power'. During the ceremony, the Pope himself dipped the end of the sword with the seal in boiling oil, then burned red and burned it on the arm of the knight who was baptized! This mark is the glory of every holy knight! and it is also their glory...... And conversely, if you do something against the gods, become a rebel, violate your beliefs, and commit a serious sin, the Holy Knight will be punished by the temple...... Even before you are executed, the temple will scrape this mark off your arm with a knife! This means that even if you die, your soul will not be forgiven by the gods!"

What Dardanelle said, in fact, Du Wei also knew. He nodded: "Well, so, although it is usually said that the Holy Knight wears two badges, the Holy Knight himself, will think that he wears three badges. And the third badge is this scar on their arm. ”

"So you know that, Harry. Dardanelle sighed.

The two silently buried the dead knight again, and then their expressions were a little solemn!

A slain holy knight! and a fourth-level knight with great martial arts!

It's not an easy thing to do!

The Holy Knights have a very special status in the Empire. They are responsible for the power of the guardian gods on earth, and they are a special group. These people have been penances since childhood. Powerful, religious, and ...... It has to be said that most of the Holy Knights are of high moral character.

And most importantly...... No one dares to murder a holy knight!

Even a holy knight who violates the law, or a holy knight who betrays the faith, can only be judged and punished by the temple itself.

And not to mention being a sinner...... Even if it is a normal holy knight, if you kill one, then it is tantamount to challenging the authority of the Temple of Light!

It's the enemy of the entire Temple of Light!

and the Temple of Light...... Even if it's the Emperor. Or maybe the magic guild wouldn't dare to do that!

Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Holy Knight, or even kills the Holy Knight. It's all those notoriously powerful, evil guys.

For example, decades ago, a powerful and evil magician once killed tens of thousands of civilians in order to study necromantic magic, and even turned a small town into a ghost town overnight, which angered the temple and sent out the Templars. Killed the magician at a terrible price.

There are many things like this in history, and they are all done by holy knights.

But that's about it! Other than that, the Holy Knight will never do anything else boring!

They won't even run into the frozen forest to hunt magical beasts!

The Holy Knight is not a mercenary!

In this hellish place, the Holy Knights appeared, so there is only one explanation: the Holy Knights came here. They're on a mission! they're here to hunt down some evil powerhouse! Defend the honor of the temple with their swords!

"I don't think it's going to be peaceful on our journey. Du Wei and Dardanelle met each other with complicated eyes.

After a brief rest, the two of them reburied the dead Holy Knight and moved on.

However, a day later. They found the grave again!

There were three graves this time! All three were buried dead Earth Holy Knights! And this time, one of the corpses. After letting Dardanelle take a look, he was stunned on the spot!

"Brother...... This is Lord Goffett!!"

Looking at a man lying under the snow, wearing a silver sè armor...... In this kind of ghost weather, he does not wear leather armor, but wears a metal armor, which is absolutely crazy in the eyes of ordinary people! Metal things are more likely to freeze to death in such a cold place! Far less useful than leather armor!

But the dead man was dressed in metal armor...... If he is not crazy, then it can only mean that his strength is very strong, strong enough to be unaffected by this cold weather!

This guy has a clean face, not even a trace of blood on his body. This was unlike the other corpses they had found. Obviously, the people who buried him also treated him with special courtesy because of his different status. Even when the knight was buried, someone helped him shave all the beard off his face and trim his hair to the brink.

He just lay quietly in the snow pit, holding his hands on his chest, and in his hand, a beautiful long sword glowing with silver light lay quietly on his chest. This person's appearance is very handsome, although his whole body is cold and blue, but Du Wei can still imagine how beautiful he was when he was alive.

"Lord Gofitt...... High Holy Knight of the Temple. After his initial surprise, Dardanelle said with a somber face: "He is also a ...... Rank 8 Knight! Harry, you must know that all knights above Rank 8 have the title of Great Knight! Kill a Grand Knight...... I really can't imagine who has such strength and dares to be the enemy of the temple!"

Dardanelle stood up, and then bowed deeply in front of the corpse of the knight named "Goffett": "Lord Goffett, I didn't expect to see you here...... The last time I saw you, I was by the Marquise's side, and thank you for taking action that day to get rid of the evil guy who cursed our Lady. ”

Speaking of this, Dardanelle's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Du Wei remembers very well that Dardanelle had mentioned the name when he first met him...... During her outing, the Marquise of Liszt met an evil magician, who happened to be protected by a holy knight by her side, and that holy knight was the dead Goffett. Goffett went to see the Marquise Liszt on behalf of the temple and thanked the marquise for her donation to the temple of a great fortune.

Du Wei looked into the distance...... Except for the sound of the wind, there was silence, and there was no movement.

The lake in the distance was still covered in ice, and there was not even a ghost shadow on the vast snow.

"Being able to kill an eighth-level knight and a holy knight, and this eighth-level knight has a lot of companions around him......" Dardanelle said in a low voice: "A person with this kind of ability can already be regarded as one of the top powerhouses in the continent!

Dewey was so distracted that he didn't seem to respond to Dardanelle's words. But he soon seemed to remember something, and suddenly crouched down, picked up Gofit's body again, and then dug up under his body!

"Harry, what are you doing?" Dardanelle was a little upset, "Please don't disturb Lord Gofitter's slumber!"

"Don't you know, Dardanelle...... When the Holy Knights bury their companions, they will also bury them under the corpses along with the relics they carry with them!" Du Wei replied, but his hands did not stop: "It just so happens that I have heard that those holy knights who believe in piety often have the habit of writing rì notes, because they need to pray every day, and when they are outside, they cannot pray in the temple, and these knights often choose to write rì records to record their inner words. ”

Soon, after digging a pit under the corpse, Du Wei let out a low cry and pulled out a cloth bag from underneath, and when he opened it, there was a small silver pendant with a statuette of the goddess of light on it, and a dagger...... And, a little book!

"Look, this is the Rì of the Knight of Goffett. Du Wei raised his head and glanced at Dardanelle: "I think, what happened, there should be an answer to this." ”

Dardanelle didn't speak, he frowned: "I don't think it's a good idea. Lord Gofet must not want anyone to touch his things...... Harry, let's put it back. ”

However, Du Wei did not listen to him, but opened the rì book, flipped it over, and after a while, Du Wei said loudly: "Look at ......"
