Hearing Connie's words, everyone was stunned. Then, Shi Dong came over curiously.
"Williams? You mean the cultist? "
Shi Dong squinted his eyes and sized up Fangzheng from head to toe. Then, he clapped his hands abruptly.
"Heh, now that you mention it, you do look a little like him."
So you didn't care about this at all before this!
Upon hearing Shi Dong's words, Fangzheng rolled his eyes in exasperation. He had spent so many days with Shi Dong, but he had never mentioned it. Fangzheng originally believed that Shi Dong was unaware of Williams's situation, but from the looks of it, he didn't take it to heart at all!
"Cultist? Williams? "
Upon hearing Connie's words, Matt was taken aback. He glanced at Fangzheng and shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense, Connie! Mr. Fangzheng doesn't look like a cultist at all! "
"Eh?"
Connie was taken aback by her commander's reaction. Her companions had all died in the pursuit of Williams, and because of that, this female knight hated Williams to the core. She had almost carved his appearance into her bones, and because of that, when she saw Fangzheng clearly, she recognized him immediately, which was why she disregarded everything and launched a deadly attack.
Connie thought that after she revealed Fangzheng's true identity, Commander Matt and the other knights would charge forward and behead this detestable cultist. But what she didn't expect was that not only did Commander Matt not believe her, but the other knights behind him also revealed disapproving expressions. As for Grand Knight Shi Dong, it seemed like he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
What's going on?
Connie couldn't figure it out. Of course, she didn't know that even though her words had surprised Matt, Shi Dong, and the others, they were only surprised. In fact, to them, Fangzheng couldn't possibly be Williams at all.
The reason was simple. Marte knew very well that Fangzheng had cast the Holy Light Healing Spell on them before. Putting everything else aside, the gentle feeling it gave was already at the level of a Bishop's Healing Spell. It was common knowledge that the cultists believed in evil and chaos, and even their powers would be tainted with the aura of chaos. Power itself wouldn't lie, so to Marte and the others, they definitely wouldn't believe that Fangzheng was a cultist. Since when did this cultist have a deeper understanding of the power of Order than the Bishop of the Holy Cathedral? Who was the cultist here?
As for the reason Shi Dong did not believe it, it was even simpler. He had seen with his own eyes the protection of the Holy Spirit. If you were to say that Fangzheng was a cult member, wouldn't that mean that the angel was here to protect the cult member?
Wow, if these words got out, they would be nailed to the stake and burned alive.
"Are you alright, Fangzheng? What happened? Why are you fighting with Connie? "
"How would I know? I was talking nicely, and then this guy turned around and stabbed me with his sword. He looked like he wanted to die with me. What could I do? I was desperate too. "
"Nonsense."
Shi Dong shook his head helplessly when he heard Fangzheng's answer. He turned to the girl next to him. The poor girl had been stunned by the battle between the two of them and had yet to recover from her shock.
"Tell me about it."
"Ah …"
The girl seemed to have come back to her senses when she heard Shi Dong's question. She glanced at Connie timidly, then lowered her head and said, "It's like this.
"It's like this. I was having a conversation with Mr. Fangzheng when Miss Connie came over. When she saw Mr. Fangzheng, she said that he was some kind of cultist. Then, she drew her sword and attacked …"
"I'm worried that he'll lie to you! Cultists are all smooth-talking people. They're not good people! "
Hearing the girl's answer, Connie hurriedly said, "I'm sure that he's a wanted criminal of the Holy Cathedral.
"I'm sure he's a wanted criminal of the Holy Sanctum. His Star Rune has already been sent to all the city halls. You just need to check it …"
"I'm the one who checked Mr. Fangzheng's Star Rune."
Perhaps because it was her field of expertise, this soft-spoken young lady interrupted Connie's words, which was a rare occasion.
"I can guarantee that Mr. Fangzheng's Star Rune is not on the list."
"How can that be …"
Upon hearing this, Connie gritted her teeth. She turned her head and stared intently at Fangzheng. Fangzheng snorted coldly. He didn't even bother to put on a good face. He was not the kind of person who would be soft-hearted to women. When he worked overtime, his female employees complained all day long, but he didn't even give them a day off. She was his employee, not his wife. Why should he be soft-hearted?
It was the same here. Although Connie was not bad looking, Fangzheng really couldn't stand her hot temper. How could Fangzheng bear it when this girl wanted to fight to the death with him? Besides, there was no harm without comparison. With such a cute and gentle girl by his side, Fangzheng felt that Connie's appearance was not as outstanding as before.
It seemed that it made sense for inner beauty to set off outer beauty.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Fangzheng."
Marte seemed to understand Connie's temper very well. He let out a long sigh when he saw her like this. He probably knew that this female knight would not come forward to apologize, so he had to apologize to Fangzheng himself. Fangzheng nodded and did not say much. He had been getting along well with Marte during this period of time. Although he couldn't stand that crazy woman, Fangzheng would not vent his anger on others casually. Although his reborn body looked very young, Fangzheng, who had lived two lives, was still very mature and steady. He did not give Marte any face at this moment.
Marte also knew that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he did not say much. He only apologized on behalf of Connie and told Fangzheng that he would punish Connie severely. Then, he led the others to the other side. This was obviously not the right time to talk to Marte.
Fangzheng, of course, was not in the mood to chat. He immediately cast Holy Flash on himself. That crazy woman was indeed strong. Fangzheng's right hand had also suffered a lot of damage in the previous battle. His entire right forearm was almost torn apart by the lightning. At that time, Fangzheng was so angry that he did not take it to heart. Now that the battle was over, he discovered that his whole body was burning with pain. He hurriedly cast a healing spell to calm himself down.
"Alright, don't pull a long face."
Seeing Fangzheng's unhappy look, Shi Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's already amazing that you were able to beat that arrogant woman to the ground. If this matter gets out, do you know how many people in the Holy Cathedral will give you a thumbs up?"
"Lord Shi Dong, is Miss Connie very famous?"
Hearing this, the girl beside him asked curiously. Their encounter with Connie was no different from the encounter between Fangzheng and Knight Conan. They both found each other surrounded by undead creatures after being teleported, so they went up to rescue each other. Then, they journeyed together …. But the ending was a little different.
"Yes, that girl is the most outstanding one among the younger generation. She's known as the Divine's Beloved. But perhaps she's used to having a smooth life, so her temper is quite bad. Plus, her father is a knight captain, so most people don't dare to have anything to do with her. Over time, she developed this kind of temper. "
At this point, Shi Dong shook his head.
"Marte is her mentor, and he's always cleaning up after her. This young lady doesn't have any self-awareness …. Plus, she's really strong, so no one can teach her a lesson. That's why she's so arrogant. Hehe, this time, she's probably finally learned that there's always someone better out there. "
Upon hearing Shi Dong's wistful words, Fangzheng finally understood why none of the knights stood forward to speak up for the crazy woman despite her being more intimate with Matt and company. From the looks of it, they had suffered quite a bit from that crazy woman.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Marte was also glaring at Connie with a solemn expression.
"You're too reckless. You attacked indiscriminately. Did you learn the knight's code for nothing?"
"But Commander, he's a cultist!"
Connie was still unconvinced by Marte's accusation.
"I'm sure that he looks exactly like that cultist!"
"What does that prove? There are plenty of people who look alike in this world. We're believers of the Goddess of Order, so we have to prove it! We've been fighting alongside him all this time, so we all know enough about his power. That's definitely not the power of Chaos. Besides, Great Knight Shi Dong is his mentor, and the star pattern doesn't match. Do you have any more questions? "
"But, but maybe it's all just a cover up!"
Hearing this, Connie still wanted to explain.
"Maybe that cultist used some kind of …."
"Enough!"
But this time, Marte did not wait for Connie to finish. He interrupted her with an ashen face.
"Remember, without sufficient evidence, we have no right to accuse someone of being a cultist! You should understand that this is the iron law of the Holy Cathedral! No one wants the tragedy of the Dark Fallen Moon to happen again. Remember! We are the guardian knights of the Holy Cathedral of Order. What we protect is what we obey! If you still don't understand this, then you can take off this armor. Do you understand?! "
Facing Marte's merciless rebuke, Connie was silent for a moment, then nodded with some hesitation.
