Everyone understood the doubts in Blank's words, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.

Orlando didn't defend anything.

Something was really wrong with him in this adventure, and he felt it himself.

Seeing that no one spoke, Blanc continued to speak: "The Red Cross Knight, who is extremely good at individual combat ability and team cooperation, has died so miserably, this kind of destructive power is simply impossible to achieve with beast control techniques, which undoubtedly points to the necromancy. ”

If it's really "necromancy", then it's really a big deal.

"What's next?"

Suo Long grabbed his hair a little irritably, he didn't want to get involved in such an inexplicable thing at all.

"We can only take one step at a time, and no one can predict what we will encounter next. ”

Blank said.

"Blank, do you know anything about the Knights of the Church?"

Lance asked with some curiosity.

Although he did not deal with the Red Cross Knights, he knew some information about them from various stories and rumors.

"Well, I've dealt with those guys before, and those knights are a bit stubborn, but they're not bad, but the inquisitors who lead them are very annoying. ”

With that, Blank spoke of some of the situation of the Knights of the Church under Lance's expectant gaze.

......

The Church Knights are the collective name for the main armed forces of the Church, among which the Red Cross Light Knights are an important part of the Church Order.

The Red Cross Knights had 3,000 men, and the rest were reserve knights who were not in the establishment, and once a knight was killed, a new reserve knight would be added immediately.

That is, the real number of fighters in the Red Cross Knights is definitely not the three thousand that appear on the surface.

And that's not even counting the priests who were sent to the Order by the monastery, and the logistical non-combatants of the Order.

Whether it is in the warm and peaceful Southern Kingdom, or in the cold and harsh Northern Kingdom, or the barbaric Western tribal forces, no one dares to underestimate the Church with this power, and once they appear to be contrary to their beliefs and doctrines, they will be destroyed by the Red Cross Knights and even other Church forces.

In order to ensure the safety of the knights, the church stipulates that Red Cross knights are not allowed to perform tasks alone, and each mission must be carried out by an independent team of ten people as the basic combat unit.

Now, the corpse of a knight has appeared here, which means that there are at least nine other Red Cross knights whose fate is unknown in the forest of Irene.

That's really bad news!

"Therefore, it is impossible for an ordinary cheetah or a cheetah controlled by the accused beast to inflict such a great deal of damage on a Red Cross knight under the nose of a knight squad, so it can be seen that ......"

Lance's unfinished words eventually led the questioning gaze to Orlando.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little delicate.

In the face of so many pairs of questioning eyes, Orlando squatted down with a tangled face, holding his head in his hands, and his whole person exuded an aura of pain.

Orlando is their friend, they know Orlando as a person, and they also believe that Orlando must have his own unavoidable hardships for concealing those things, and if it wasn't for the weirdness of what happened this time, they would not have been prepared to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing Orlando's inner torment, Blank's tone softened slightly: "Orlando, we are all friends, you should try to trust us, and, at this point, I think we also have the right to know what we are about to face." ”

"Yes, Orlando, although I am greedy for money, as long as the danger does not exceed the limit of what I can accept, I am still willing to help you. ”

"Have faith in us, my friend, for the dwarves have no tradition of abandoning their fellows. I, Teklin, in the name of the Dwarves and the reputation of the Hundred Raks, will take the highest honor in this adventure to protect our friendship, and will not back down even if I give my life for it. ”

Della didn't speak, but the action of stroking the dagger in her hand said it all.

"I ......"

Orlando choked up a little, and he wanted to spread it out to everyone, but he couldn't.

While the others' attention was still on Orlando, Lance saw Ike turn out of the jungle, and before he knew it, the two had completed a series of exchanges.

Ike quietly left while a few people were observing the corpse.

Because of the special situation at that time, even if others saw Ike leaving, they would only think that the boy was driven by curiosity to check around, and they would not pay too much attention to it.

Of course, this can also be attributed to the fact that Lance and Ike have always been well-behaved, and if they were to be replaced by others, they would probably not be so comfortable letting them act alone.

Seeing Ike's nod without a trace, Lance was overjoyed and was about to speak, when suddenly an unprecedented sense of crisis came from behind him.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Orlando's exclamation came out, Lance had already subconsciously dodged to the side, and in the process of dodging, he looked back and saw that a huge black panther head had pounced in front of Lance.

"Buzz ......"

Just as Lance was about to die in the leopard's mouth, a rapid buzz came from his chest.

The surrounding space and air were visibly distorted, and time stood still for a moment.

A large pale blue hourglass phantom enveloped the area around Reims, and the world was divided into two parts, a dynamic world outside the phantom and a static world inside the phantom.

In this still world, Lance could see the falling leaves in the air, the panther close at hand, the red glint in its eyes, and the stinking saliva dripping from the beast's mouth and remaining in the air.

What a perfect hunt.

At this time, Lance's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his beating heart gradually settled down.

Survived!

Lance's heart was extremely happy, fortunately at the last moment he activated the "time hourglass", if it weren't for the fact that he had such a life-saving hole card, I'm afraid he would really die here.

At that moment, Lance really felt the approach of death.

This hourglass, which is only the size of a little finger, was a gift from his mother Keith when Lance left home, and has always been worn by him as a necklace, but Keith has also told him that when his life is seriously threatened, he only needs to move his mind, and this "time hourglass" can be activated in an instant to fight for him a greater chance of escape.

The young and proud Lance really didn't expect that he would use this hourglass so quickly.

Now, although Lance's life has been saved for the time being, an embarrassing situation has also followed.

Because he is a spellcaster, even if time in this space has stood still, he himself has the ability to move, but with his current strength, the range of movement is very slow.

Lance slowly raised his arm upward, no amount of anxiety in his heart could change the speed at which he raised his arm.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Lance knew that when the light of the hourglass faded, it meant that the effect of time stagnation was weakening, and he had to get out of danger before the effect of the hourglass faded.

The effect of the hourglass was waning, and it was obviously impossible to kill the damn beast before the effect of the hourglass was gone, and now he only wanted the sword of Sohana to be hard enough, hard enough to block attacks from the black panthers.

Lance didn't want to end up with the hapless knight at all.

As the effect of the hourglass of time waned, the panther's mouth slowly approached Lance......
