It was the body of a man once called my brother, and it had long been cold. The black blood that had flowed out had long since solidified and no longer moved.
Although he had been killed with the Holy Sword, Cassilia brought the body here and observed it for a day, but she had another purpose.
"You don't know anything, do you...?"
A cold whisper escaped Casillas' lips.
When she ordered Alice to tell her everything about the newcomer to the Knights, she replied that she knew almost nothing.
Now Cassilia knew most about where they met the newcomer, why they brought him to the Knights, and what happened after they brought him to the Knights.
These were all useless information, except for the fact that he had been cursed by a witch, had lost most of his memories, and had all his abilities degraded to rock bottom.
"All the ability values have degraded?"
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a gesture full of obvious sarcasm.
Alice's words weren't false. At least, Alice herself, the Knight Commander who had brought in the unidentified new knight, firmly believed her explanation was the truth.
"So, that kid must be lying."
Casillas stood up from the throne and slowly began to walk down the stairs, one step at a time. She was wearing black boots and walked on the red carpet.
The footsteps stopped in front of the half-human, half-demon corpse with the holy sword stuck in it. Cold eyes shone from her golden eyes as she scanned its entire body.
There are half-protruding horns on the head, the mouth on the face is torn all the way to the ears, wings covered with membranes rise from the back, scales sprout from the body, the arms and legs have become anti-jointed, and the nails are sharp and long.
Moreover, under the influence of the holy sword's divine power, the wound emitted a faint white light.
"How stupid! Did you think I couldn't notice?"
When Cassilia saw the demon who used to be her brother in the basement, she immediately noticed that the guy's body was covered with scars from sacred weapons.
Perhaps hoping to rely on the demon's inherent recovery ability to hide its wounds, they allowed the Knight Leaders to beat it to their heart's content, but it was all in vain.
Scars carved by divine power on unclean things cannot be easily hidden.
Although she is still a little behind the popes of the Holy Kingdom of Raphael, who are considered to be the incarnations of saints, Cassilia is also someone who can control the holy sword with her own strength.
The power of the Holy Sword is such that even if all the sacred weapons on the entire continent were gathered together, they would still be powerless to counteract it.
For those who can wield the holy sword, it is impossible not to see the scars carved into it, which are filled with divine power.
Cassia gripped the holy sword's hilt tightly, and the faint white light emanating from various parts of the demon's body intensified. Though the wound was short, it penetrated deep into the demon's body.
This is the mark of the dagger.
"He possessed a blessed dagger imbued with divine power, yet he had lost his memory and no longer knew who he was... Did he really think this was a suitable excuse?"
046. Gaze
This was Casillas's cold sarcasm.
Someone who not only possessed a blessed dagger but could even wield it, had lost his memory and had all his ability stats reduced?
This is absolutely a lie.
Since this half-human, half-demon still bore scars from the blessed weapon on his body, she could only assume that the rookie knight had lied to her.
Aurora was a woman without any fighting ability. Although she had become more mature in all aspects compared to her childhood, that was in terms of appearance and temperament, not combat ability.
Although the four knight commanders of the Silver Dawn Knights have outstanding combat capabilities, they are also unable to control the holy power.
This was a matter of course. Throughout the empire, no one unrelated to the Holy Kingdom of Raphael could wield divine power.
But, he is not.
Casillas fell into deep thought again.
Although this demon is so weak that it can't even devour a human, in order to inflict actual damage to the demon, one must possess at least the power of a trainee nun apprentice in the Holy Kingdom.
Anyone who could be called a novice nun in the Holy Kingdom at least possessed the divine power to lead a cathedral in a foreign country.
This is what it means to be an exorcist nun.
“Everything contradicts itself, yet everything fits together so perfectly.”
The more she thought about it, the more curious Cassilia became about the identity of the new knight.
He possesses divine power enough to harm demons, but is cursed, causing all his ability values to degrade.
His knowledge was exceptional, and he even received a blessed weapon from somewhere, but he has lost all the memories that supported that knowledge.
Nothing about himself is revealed, but he acts as if he knows everything.
and so.
"Say it's all a coincidence..."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she still hadn't come up with an answer. But it had been a long time, really, she felt like she hadn't experienced such a pleasant annoyance in a long time.
If everything reported by the new knight was false, then the content of the letter sent by Aurora was also false.
Such a powerful person "accidentally" discovered the Demon Book that houses the devil?
Is that possible?
"Someone is coming——!"
Casilla shouted into the empty hall, the echoes colliding between the walls and pillars, and then a knight walked in majestically from the side door of the central hall.
The knight was wearing a golden armor, including a golden cape, helmet, and scabbard. He walked gracefully to Casillas and half-knelt.
"Your Majesty, are you calling me?"
"I command you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Take the gold coins and go to Aurora's territory. Give the money to the local lord and tell him it's a reward for dealing with the demon in time. Then go find the Knights of the Silver Dawn."
When Casilla said the words "Silver Dawn Knights," the knight in the helmet trembled. Regardless, Casilla continued:
"A new man joined there not long ago. I'll give you two weeks to observe his every move."
"After the observation?"
"Report to me word for word, even the most seemingly insignificant thing."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The knight in golden armor lowered his head, turned with restraint, and left the central hall. With a thud, the door closed, and Casillas was left alone in the central hall.
"I've never been so interested in anything in my life. Is it true that being interested in something is such a pleasurable feeling?"
Cassilia approached the demon's corpse, staring blankly at the dozen or so scars that still revealed a faint trace of divine power. Then, she tightly grasped the holy sword that had pierced the demon's body and injected it with power.
The holy sword radiated light like the sun.
Chi--, the demon's corpse began to burn under the white flames. This was the purifying flame that only condemned heretics.
The demon's body quickly turned into a cloud of ash and disappeared. Having finished, Cassilia released the hilt of her sword, and the holy sword immediately turned into a bright halo, leaving nothing behind where the corpse had been.
"I will be watching you."
Cassia muttered to herself after finishing her work.
I will keep an eye on that new knight. Through repeated observation, no matter what, I will uncover the secrets he hides.
Did you lie in a letter to yourself? That's nothing to worry about. Did you hide your true identity from me? That's nothing to worry about either. These are just minor infractions.
There is only one thing to worry about.
That is, if he can really help realize my ambition, then as long as he becomes the most loyal sword by my side, I can turn a blind eye to everything.
"But, if not."
A terrifying murderous aura surged in his golden eyes. If not, then he was just a piece of trash, only temporarily standing out and then falling to the ground like so many other pieces of trash.
He has to pay for it.
"Then prove to me what you are capable of."
Casilla sincerely hoped that her joyful feelings would not be destroyed by a cruel ending and would continue to exist for a long time.
...
Several days had passed since the lord was dealt with, and during that time the atmosphere in the Knights had undergone a 180-degree change compared to before.
The most important reason was that all the troubles that had plagued the Knights of the Silver Dawn had been resolved.
As for the refresh magic of the Magic Castle, we received a direct reply from the Lord of the Magic Tower, telling everyone not to worry.
The previous lord who had been harassing the Knights of the Silver Dawn was dead, and the matters with the demons and the emperor were safely resolved. Everything was perfect.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere within the Knights could not be calmed down even if they wanted to.
Liz, in particular, seemed very happy about the death of the previous lord. She even hugged Lin Yinxi excitedly and blatantly touched him and caressed his body. Erica could only pull her away and tell her to restrain herself.
It was only for a moment, but the feeling of having your body frequently touched was no joke.
"As for that matter... let's just keep it secret."
He decided to keep the former lord's evil plan against the Knights a secret, a plan to turn the Knights into sex slaves.
Anyway, the person involved is dead, and telling them about this will only make them feel worse.
What they had been through so far was dirty enough, and he didn't want to add anything more to it.
So until now, Lin Yinxi had nothing to do in the Knights of the Silver Dawn and had been living a peaceful life, occasionally patrolling the city and happily sparring with everyone in the martial arts field in the castle.
"Aaaaaaa! How long has that bastard been delaying the territory's affairs? He never gets them done, it's driving me crazy!"
047. Attribute allocation
"We can only try to help as much as we can... there are a lot of things we can't handle."
"I know, even if the five of you help me out all day, that's only one-tenth of what I have to deal with today. After all, I'm the one who makes the final decision... After you're done, I'll have to review it again."
Except for Aurora, who inherited the position of both the head of the family and the lord.
Aurora worked with a gloomy face as she dealt with the matters that the previous lord had been putting off until now. Because someone with the previous lord's personality would never be able to actively fulfill his duties.
In Aurora's words, "Everything was delayed until I took office!"
"All sorts of things happen in all sorts of unexpected places. Just when we finally solve one, two more pop up..."
At this moment, she was complaining in a tired voice at her desk. It was no exaggeration to say that she was dealing with documents all day long, and more documents piled up the next day after she finished processing them.
Such painful sounds are not made for no reason.
Moreover, this is also because Aurora is really capable, so she can try to sort out the accumulated affairs. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't even be able to sort them out.
This is also the reason why the celebration originally planned to be held at the mansion to commemorate the death of the former lord was postponed indefinitely.
"Leave these to us, and go find something to do yourself."
Aurora ordered Lin Yinxi to leave, saying, "Because I'm distracted by your presence, I can't concentrate on my work."
Therefore, he had plenty of time, which also meant he had time to upgrade his level.
When he took the opportunity to say that he wanted to defeat the monster alone, Alice readily agreed and let him do it himself.
After he joined the Knights, he had resolved many incidents on his own. Perhaps it was because of the Lord's incident that their trust in him had deepened, but the way they looked at him didn't contain the slightest bit of worry.
If he wants to do something, he should have his own ideas. There is no need to ask him one by one, just let him do it himself. This is what they think.
Instead, Liz followed closely.
Although he had never encountered the company of an NPC in Dark Light 4 and it felt a bit strange, there was no problem in following them, so he was prepared to leave it alone.
"..."
Actually, there is still a problem.
That is, when Liz was fighting the monster with Lin Yinxi, she always had a happy smile on her face and stared at him intently, her eyes refusing to leave him for a moment, which made him feel strange.
"Uh...why have you been looking at me like that since just now?"
"Why, can't I watch it? I watch it because I like it."
This reason left him speechless. He couldn't say he hated this look, and since it was so straightforward and openly stated, what else could he say?
