Learned useful knowledge from the old priest.

The three of them secretly made a lot of money in their hearts.

These things, even if they are recorded in books, will not be so detailed.

More than that, it is the great deeds of these people.

That's what they want to write about.

Like a lich or something, who would mention it.

Nock was sure that the old priest said that it was written in the book, and that he must be fooling people.

It's either a secret that he's passed down from generation to generation, or a codex that has been passed down from his faction.

It can't be what the church historian recorded.

This was well understood by Nock, who had mastered most of the monastery's books.

However, while Nock and Leo were happy to have mastered the new knowledge, a hint of shock flashed across their faces.

Arsanos, what a familiar and unexpected name.

Isn't he the self-proclaimed Monarch of Death? Why is it the lich in the mouth of the old priest, the dark mage who swept the continent in ancient times!

If the other party is really such a terrifying big man, let alone the two of them, Zola's elf may not survive.

Instead of feeling that the Arsanos they encountered was terrifying, the two felt that their strength was a little stretched!

However, that guy can't even kill the Holy Lord.

So, last time, did the two of them really kill it?

A hint of uneasiness flashed through the hearts of the two.

But now is not the time to think about Althanos.

The four finished their dinner and then went their separate ways.

Nock wasn't going to take two and a half buckets of water to the mission.

Although the old priest was knowledgeable, he was old and could not stand the toss.

After the old priest's teaching, Nock roughly guessed what it was that was chasing Freya.

Ghosts, and possibly even evil spirits.

It seems that behind Freya, there is indeed a big man who belongs to the church, as Nock guessed.

Otherwise, how would Freya, a non-churchgoer, open her mouth and know that it was a ghost who was chasing her?

The subordinates of the General's Mansion sent Leo's equipment.

As for Nock's equipment, what can be seen is on him.

What is invisible, hidden in Leo's shield.

Walking to the door of the General's Mansion, it was already time for the lights to come on.

The general with a group of people has been waiting at the door for a long time.

When he saw Nock, he immediately greeted him with a middle-aged man in armor.

"Father Lane, let me introduce you, this is Keynes, who is your deputy.

If you need anything, just tell him. ”

After introducing Keynes to Nock, the general shouted to the fifty soldiers standing at the door, "This is Father Lane, the person in charge of this mission.

His orders are the same as those of the general.

Whatever he tells you to do, you have to do.

If there is any disobedience to the order, military law will deal with it!

Do you understand! ”

"Got it!" Fifty replied neatly.

Nock looked at the soldiers who were in good spirits, and he could see that the general had made a lot of money.

The people who arranged for him were all the elites of the army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say more nonsense, a team of ten people, and the team leader is directly responsible for the three of us.

I'm Father Lane, this is Gareth, and the rest of you should know better than I am, Keynes.

The three of us will be in charge of tonight's operation.

I'm the main and Gareth and Keynes the second.

Feel free to report anything you find to any of the three of us.

Remember, it's any discovery.

Even if you find that your teammates don't usually like to laugh, but suddenly smile at you.

If you think something is wrong, you can report it, you understand! ”

"Yes! Sir! The soldiers replied in unison.

Nock nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" Now everybody turns around. In small groups, each team was spaced 10 meters apart and headed towards the street where the incident had occurred last night. ”

Nock gave an order, and fifty soldiers hurriedly followed Nock's arrangement, and advanced towards the destination at an interval of ten meters.

"Keynes." Nock roll call.

"The subordinates are here! Sir! Keynes replied loudly.

"You are in charge of driving the wagons and keeping up with the soldiers. The distance can be relaxed to fifty meters away. There is no problem. ”

"No problem, sir!"

"Good. Relax, I'm just a temporary boss, not the commander of your army. Don't be so respectful. ”

Nock patted Keynes on the shoulder, and Leo jumped onto the frame of a carriage.

Yes, the three Nocks were not riding in a passenger carriage.

Rather, it is a wagon that pulls goods.

On the body of the carriage were two large wooden barrels, filled with water.

Next to the barrels, dozens of crosses made of iron and wood are piled up.

There are also some small wooden and clay vases.

These crosses are of various sizes and are very crude.

Apparently it was improvised.

After all, the inventory that was in the past was either kept at home by the people, or it was allocated to the military camp and the general's mansion by the general's mansion.

Now these dozens of people in the carriage were ordered by the general in the afternoon.

"After I have turned two buckets of clean water into holy water, you will soak these crosses in a bucket. Another bucket of water, in a small bottle. ”

As he spoke, Nock soaked his hands in the water of each of the two barrels.

Then the blessing spell was activated.

Blessing is a necessary magic technique for the church to make holy water.

The stronger the person who casts the blessing and the more devout the faith, the more obvious the effect.

The difference in the effect of the holy water in each church is due to the strength of the person who performs the blessing technique.

Of course, the holy water in places like the regional churches and the Great Chapel is created by a group of clergy working together for a group of priests.

The effect is closer to the real "holy water".

Yes, the holy water that people use today is made by the clergy.

Only the holy water made by the Holy Court's artifact [Holy Grail] is the real "holy water".

That kind of holy water, basically, only a drop can wipe out ordinary demons.

The holy water that Nok is making now is definitely not as effective as the regional churches and the Great Church.

But it is definitely more powerful than the magic used by Mussosis.

Anyway, Nock is also a powerhouse at the peak of the silver level.

With the double protection of holy water and crosses, the safety of fifty soldiers can be guaranteed.

No, it's the safety of fifty-two people.

Leo and Keynes also need it.

It's just that Leo's treatment is definitely different.

Because Leo after throwing the cross and soaking.

Throw Nock's dagger and his short sword into it as well.

If it weren't for the fact that his barrel couldn't hold his shield, he would have thrown it in.

Fortunately, after Nock finished making the holy water, he picked up Nok's shield.

Begin to cast a blessing spell on the ice crystals.

Once the soldiers and wagons had arrived at their destination, Nock and Leo had completed the basics.

"Now, everybody comes and gets their gear.

One person and one cross are placed close to the body, although the style is different, but the effect is the same.

It's all soaked in holy water, and it's time-old, so there's no need to pick and choose.

One bottle of holy water per person, splashed out when in danger, and then fled with a cross.

Got it! ”

"Got it!" The soldier replied neatly.

"Keynes, you're in charge of handing out the equipment. By the way, throw your weapon into the bucket and soak it, the power of the holy water is still a little more.

Also, ask someone with other equipment to fetch another bucket of water, and I'll make another bucket of holy water to spare. ”

"Yes! Sir. ”

Keynes replied in a serious manner.

Nock and Leo ignored him, and after arming themselves, they began to study the route of action for a while.

For commanding operations, Nock had no experience.

Therefore, Nock put Leo in charge of arranging the battle plan.

He is responsible for filling in the omissions.

Soon, the cross and holy water were still distributed.

Nock began to arrange the task.

"First of all, you have received holy water and crosses.

The cross is for your safety.

If there is danger, take it out.

Basically, evil creatures don't dare come near you.

But don't think you're invincible just because you have a cross.

Take holy water and the cross and rush forward.

When you find an enemy, you have to report it, not kill it!

If you encounter an enemy who dares to attack you, you can spill the holy water in the bottle.

Splash on enemies or your weapons.

This will give you the opportunity to kill your enemies and create a chance to escape.

Remember, I came to you to ask you to help you find the enemy's tracks.

I didn't let you die!

Don't be embarrassed by my words!

Because of your impulsiveness alone, it is likely that the whole team will be wiped out!

Well, that's all I have to say.

Next, Mr. Gareth will assign you tasks.

Keynes will oversee you throughout the mission.

Do a good job, and I'll let Keynes take credit for you.

If you don't obey orders, I won't deal with you, that's the general's business.

But I'll let Keynes write down the mistakes you made one by one as evidence!

Well, that's all I have to say! ”

When Nock finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

It's not that Nok is suppressed.

But before coming, the warning given by the general was much more serious than what Nock said.

They have been mentally prepared for a long time.

Didn't speak, it's just a matter of discipline.

Leo was pleased with the soldiers' performance.

He carried the ice armor shield on his back and smiled: "Very good! I'm very happy with how you're doing so far.

Don't be arrogant or impatient, this shows that you are all elites.

I won't repeat the security issue.

Next, I would like to announce the scope and manner of tonight's action.

The rest of the time, until dawn and dawn.

Where we stand, this carriage, is our headquarters!

We will leave a small team, commanded by John Maynard Keynes, with four members acting as liaisons

Follow 10 meters behind each team and check with the team every five minutes to make sure it's safe.

The remaining six men are in charge of protecting the command.

See? The bucket of water on the carriage was the spare holy water that Father Lane had prepared for us.

As soon as an enemy is spotted, command arrives on the scene with holy water.

Bathe the evil creature that scares the people of the fortress with holy water!

So, next, the remaining four ten-person squads.

From here, we will visit the residential area.

Each team is spaced 50 meters apart from the left and right, and the distance between team members is not more than 2 meters!

Carpet search.

No scattering!

Notify the squad leader immediately if there is any discovery.

It's up to the squad leader to decide whether to have the liaison contact the other squads, or contact the command headquarters!

Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"Excellent! Let's go! ”

Leo announced the action.

A group of people immediately pulled out of formation, and according to Leo's deployment, they began to walk towards the residential area.

After you can't see the soldiers in front of you.

Nock and Leo walked over to Keynes and pulled him to mutter.

Keynes looked at Nock with a look of embarrassment: "Sir, this is not good. It's not the same plan. ”

"Rest assured. That's the real plan. You are the key to the plan. ”

Nock patted Keynes on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Keynes, our success or failure is up to you."

The safety of the fortress and the reputation of the General's Mansion are all up to you! ”

After saying that, Nock didn't give Keynes a chance to object, and trotted with Leo all the way and disappeared into an alley.

"Sir, ...... they are?"

The remaining six soldiers, who acted as guards, looked at the two who left in confusion, and cautiously asked Keynes questions.

"Shut up! Don't ask what you shouldn't! Just do your part! ”

Keynes gave a small reprimand to the person who spoke.

Now, the others dare not be curious.

Keynes watched irritably as the two disappeared into the alley, and could only sit silently in the carriage.

Wait for the message.

Yes, wait.

This is what irritates him.

He is a lieutenant general of the fortress, and it doesn't matter if he is a hairy boy.

Who made this hairy boy a priest.

Have the ability to solve the murder case of the fortress.

However, he lowered his stature and prejudices and obeyed his orders.

But in the end, all he had to do was bluff here and wait for the notice!

The two men acted on their own, without even telling him their true destination.

How does this keep him from getting irritable!

Yes, Nock didn't expect the soldiers to help him find the killer.

Whether the opponent is a ghost or an evil spirit, the opponent can penetrate the wall and enter the ground.

Soldiers are able to search from house to house.

Otherwise, such patrols will only be a surprise to the snakes.

But what Nock needs is for them to startle the snake.

Bluff and tell the murderer that they're looking for it over there!

Only in this way can the murderer be able to commit the crime elsewhere.

However, the murderers in residential areas are in no hurry to deal with them.

Nock is going to deal with the guy hiding in the barracks.

Knowing to hide his identity, the methods are strange and cruel.

It's like the evil spirit described by the old priest.

If there are evil spirits in the barracks, then the problem is big.

Sneaking all the way, the two soon came to the vicinity of the barracks.

Although the barracks were terrified because of the murder, the guards were still tight.

However, there is an advantage that it is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

These guards did not let people infiltrate, but prevented people from escaping.

When the two dodge the guards and sneak into the camp, they find that there is no patrol in the camp at all.

One by one, the soldiers hid in their tents, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"What do we do now? It's a few hours until midnight! The demons won't come out at this time, will they? ”

Leo's hour was underestimated in Nock's ear.

Nock thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that it wasn't long before he heard the clock tower strike nine.

It took him a little time to make the holy water, but he didn't expect that it would be nearly three hours before midnight.

Waiting for the rabbit is not his style.

So, he said to Leo, "There are still nearly three hours until midnight, so we might as well split up." ”

"Huh? What do you want? ”

"Of course, it's to investigate the barracks. Let's see if the devil did it or if it's man-made.

We can't believe what the general says. ”

"Well, you have a point. So what if you don't find out? ”

"Whether you find it or not, come back here to rendezvous when you hear the midnight bell.

If you find out the general's little secret, take it away. ”

"What if you encounter an evil spirit?"

"So coincidentally? Then Leo, you'll just do it! It's a bit louder. I'm so fishing in troubled waters to sneak up on it. ”

"Uh, I don't think you're a little sloppy."

Looking at Nock, who looked more and more like a scoundrel, Leo always felt that something was wrong.

Isn't it true that people become more mature and stable as they get older?

Why, on the other hand, Nock was more childish than when he first met Nok.

It's all about your preference.

The two split up, one left and one right, and began to patrol the camp.

There was no one in the quartermaster tent, so they went in and investigated.

If someone has a tent, they will be careful to eavesdrop outside.

See if there's any useful news.

There are no valuable discoveries, but some interesting gossip has been heard a lot.

Soon, the clock struck midnight.

Nock and Leo meet again.

"How's it going, have you found anything?"

Nock asked curiously.

Leo looked at Nock with a smirk, then said.

"If you find out that you have been greened, it is not considered a discovery."

"......," Nock was silent, "Say!" ”

"I've heard from the soldiers that rumors from the General's Mansion that we didn't come in the nights of the days before we came.

The general went to Freya's courtyard every night to wait.

So, you get the idea. ”

Leo's raised eyebrows made Nock want to hit someone.

Although Nock also understands that his relationship with Freya and Charlotte is nothing more than a utility.

Freya must be more than just him.

But I really know that when the other party follows me, I still have a leg with others.

This kind of taste is indeed unacceptable to Nock.

"No, if that's the case. There's no way the general's wife doesn't know, right?

But today, instead of making trouble, I saw that she was very afraid of Freya.

Even if she is a marquise, the general's wife is also a countess.

There's no reason to be so afraid of her! ”

Nock reacted and told what he had observed.

Leo also felt strange when he heard this.

Could it be that there is something hidden in this?

"You say, will it be this service, it is really just a service on the surface.

Otherwise, the general can't be so ridiculous, in front of his wife, to have a tryst with another woman at home, right?

If this is to be spread, it will bring shame to both the general and his wife's family. ”

Just when the two of them were studying what kind of service method this "serving" was.

There was a sudden muffled snort in my ears.

It seems that someone was covering his mouth and wiping his neck.

"It's not right!" Nock said.

"There's movement!" Leo said at the same time.

The two rushed to the tent where the accident had occurred, and rushed in with a handful of the curtains.

"Shet! What the hell is this! ”

Leo exclaimed as he looked at the guy with four arms and a big head under Nok's illumination.

What about ghosts and evil spirits?

This monster can't have anything to do with the "soul"!

"Leo, kill him! I'm going to wake up the others! Not right! ”

Nock looked at the tent full of corpses, the soldiers had all been killed.

Had it not been for the sound of the last soldier to be killed, neither of Nock nor the two who were near the tent would have noticed.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get up! ”

Nock threw the enemy at Leo and shouted as he burst out of the tent.

Nock's voice alarmed the nearby tent and the camp guards.

However, instead of soldiers, it was a big-headed monster with four arms that rushed out of a nearby tent.

"Monsters! It's a four-armed ogre! Why are they in the camp! ”

One of the guards recognized the monster's origin and shouted.

Four-armed ogre? Nock was stunned.

This is a monster that inhabits the Dokosom Mountains and almost never descends.

Occasionally, it's just when the beast tide hits the fortress.

But at that time, these ogres were all outside the fortress.

How can it be in the city now, or in the barracks!

What's more, no one found out!

You know, Nock and Leo just went around the barracks to investigate!

Didn't even notice how these monsters infiltrated!

Roar!

The ogre let out a roar and began to attack the guards.

Bang!

An ogre's corpse smashes at Nock's feet, and Leo rushes out of the tent.

"What's going on! How many monsters. ”

Leo looked at the barracks that had already bombed the camp, and suddenly shouted with a headache.

"Don't ask why! Hurry up and help! ”

Nock nudged Leo, and then he fired a flare into the sky before detonating it.

He believed that the garrison camp at the General's Mansion and the North Wall would definitely find out about the disturbance here and send people to help.

The sky above the barracks on the south wall was lit up with illumination.

The whole camp was like daylight.

"Kill!"

A soldier killed Nock.

Nock dodged with a headache and kicked him down.

"You idiot, I'm the priest your general asked to help! Your enemies are over there! What are you attacking me for! ”

Nock's words stopped the soldiers who had planned to besiege him, with hesitation on their faces.

"Look, look at your companions and you're going to die!"

"Holy Lord! Please grant you devout believers the courage to defeat evil! ”

"Light of Courage!"

Nok casts an attribute buff spell that lands on the soldiers around him.

Feel the courage and strength welling up from the bottom of your heart, as well as the increase in your body.

The soldiers are finally convinced of Nock's identity.

"He's a clergyman! He really is a clergyman! He is not an enemy! ”

"I feel the power pouring out of my body, kill, kill the ogre!"

The soldiers, starting to change their aims, rushed towards the ogre.

Nock took a closer look around, casually throwing a healing spell at the wounded soldier.

"Who's the commander! I need to talk to the Commander! ”

Nock shouted loudly in all directions.

"The commander's tent is in the northwest corner!"

"Go over there!"

Hearing that Nock was looking for the commander, the soldiers gave Nok directions.

"Speed Aura!"

"Aura of Strength!"

"Healing aura!"

Nok rushed towards the northwest corner, not forgetting to throw skills at the soldiers in the passing battle circle.

The soldiers, who were supported by Nok, became heroic.

Cooperate with your teammates to suppress the ogre to the downside.

Soon, Nock arrived at the northwest corner of the camp.

"Who's the commander! I'm a reinforcement sent by the general! ”

Nock shouted loudly as he unleashed his skills to help the wounded soldier.

"I'm the Commander! Who are you! ”

A man in a bloody battle stabbed a man through the heart of an ogre with a sword and cut off the ogre's head with his backhand.

Then he looked at Nock.

Nock hurriedly rushed to the commander's side, and regardless of whether he was injured or not, a healing aura was put on.

"Don't waste it, I'm not hurt. Who are you? ”

"I am the one who was commissioned by your general to investigate the two-day demon murder case. I need to talk to you. ”

"Talk? Right now? I don't have time to care about what evil or not evil I am right now! "Apparently, this commander has a bit of a short temper.

"I have to talk to you! I suspect that the attack on the barracks was just a trap! Even the murder of the demons a few days ago was a trap! ”

Nock's words completely made the commander stand still.

"Well, you managed to get my attention. I'll give you five minutes to briefly explain what you want to say. ”

The Commander finished speaking to Nock, and suddenly shouted into the distance.

"Evan! What are you doing! Cover! Cover! Chop up the ogre's hand! Don't let your comrades be distracted by defending while attacking the enemy! ”

Nock looked at the commander who was talking to him and paying attention to the battlefield, and suddenly felt that maybe things had taken a turn for the better.

So, he decided to cut a long story short and tell the commander his reasoning.
