GOR Chapter 479 After The Fall
Lochet had put on a clean robe and the wounds on his face and body had been treated.
At present, his face was indifferent to the extreme and his eyes were ashen. In one hand, he held a piece of beef dripping with gravy. In the other hand, he held an exquisite crystal bottle. Inside the bottle was bright red wine.
Lochet sat there, gobbling down the meat while gulping down the wine.
"How is it?" A cold smile appeared on Du Wei's face.
Lochet's movements stiffened for a moment. He raised his head, his eyes seemingly dim. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly nodded his head. "Very good."
"This is high-grade veal. My chef was hired from the imperial capital at a high price. His net worth is even higher than that of a low-level aristocrat! As for the bottle of wine in your hand, it is worth at least 10,000 gold coins. " Du Wei smiled faintly. "You see, Lochet, I can let you taste the most wonderful taste in this world, the most noble enjoyment … … of course, if you want a woman now, I can also have someone find one for you."
A trace of pain appeared on Lochet's face. Then, he gritted his teeth and shook his head. "No need."
Du Wei stood up and looked down at Lochet. "What is it? Are you still not used to it? It is fine. You have been living a dry life of bitter cultivation since you were young … … however, you will soon get used to it. Wine, delicacies, women … … and all kinds of enjoyment. You see, life is actually very exciting. There are many interesting things that you have never tried. "
Lochet tossed away the bottle and beef in his hand and struggled to sit up. "When do I leave?"
"Tomorrow morning." Du Wei said coolly. "I am ready … … you seem to be afraid to stay with me."
Lochet moved to the door without looking back. When he opened the door, his body seemingly trembled. He turned to look at Du Wei, his eyes filled with fear and despair. "Only now do I know that in this world, demons really do exist … … you are a demon!"
Du Wei smiled. "Thank you for the compliment."

A few days later, a staggering figure appeared outside the Bright Shrines of the Imperial Capital.
Paladin, who was in charge of the night watch, was immediately attracted by this suspicious figure. Several young Paladin pulled out their swords and pointed at the figure in the distance, shouting, "Who is it!"
When the figure staggered out of the darkness, the young Knight were surprised to find that the person was wearing a set of surprisingly broken armour!
There was no doubt that this person was Rochet.
The armor on Rochet's body was still stained with blood. His shoulder armor, gauntlets, and breastplate were all damaged in a shocking manner!
As for Lochet himself, his hair was still stained with blood and stuck together. The battle robe inside seemed to be a dazzling dark red.
He staggered to the front of the Shrines and fell down. One of his hands tried to reach forward. What surprised the young Paladin was that when the person opened his palm, there was a Paladin badge – the highest grade!
Soon, despite their doubts, the young Knight quickly carried Rochet into the Shrines. This matter was immediately reported to the higher-ups. Not long after, Pope Paul XVI found out about it in his own prayer room!
He saw the Paladin badge presented below and immediately knew: Rochet was back!
•
Under Pope's strict order, the three young Knight who found Rochet and carried him in all knelt down and swore on their soul and faith that they would never disclose this matter.
At this time, Rochet was carried into Pope's prayer room!
Paul XVI saw that Rochet was alive and well before his eyes. On his old face, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, the Pope personally inspected Lochet's injuries. What made Paul XVI sigh was that the injuries on Lochet's body showed that he had gone through an extremely cruel and bloody battle! His left shoulder blade, in particular, was almost completely cut off!
This wound had almost crippled him!
Fortunately, Pope had the power of a Saint. He used his powerful Saint rank power to cast a healing spell and quickly alleviated Rochet's pain.
On Rochet's body, arms, chest, abdomen, legs, more than a dozen injuries of varying severity caused him to be unconscious for half an hour before he woke up.
When Rochet woke up, he found himself in Pope's prayer room.
Paul XVI in a white robe was sitting next to him … There was also a figure in the room.
Orpheus, the supreme leader of the Angel Corps, was wearing a black robe. His face was hidden in the shadows, but there was a pair of cold eyes on Rochet's body.
Rochet immediately turned over and struggled to sit up. He then knelt on one knee in front of Pope. His voice was full of pain: "Your Majesty … I-I failed my mission! Lord Sphinx was also killed! The troops under my command have been completely annihilated and I have been captured by him in Anglia City! "
"You were captured by the Duke of the Tulip Family?"
The faint voice seemed to carry a sigh. This was the voice of Orpheus.
"Yes, Lord Angel." Rochet raised his head and looked directly at Orpheus. He then lowered his head again: "This is my shame, but I dare not hide it. I was indeed captured!"
Paul XVI's face immediately changed!
Unlike Orpheus, Paul XVI had direct dealings with Du Wei! He was deeply aware of how insidious and cunning Du Wei was!
Since Rochet was captured, then … Could it be that Du Wei had tortured and interrogated him?
"You …"
"My faith has never wavered! Your Majesty! "Rochet's firm voice made Pope feel relieved.
It can be said that Pope was absolutely assured of Rochet's loyalty. This group of people was strictly trained from an early age. Otherwise, if there was even the slightest problem with their faith, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be selected into the Angel Corps!
The shocking scars on Rochet's body, as well as his firm belief in Paladin, made Paul XVI have no doubts. However, he still asked: "Then how did you escape?"
Rochet's voice sounded like he was enduring pain, but his tone was still firm: "Your Majesty, I was imprisoned in Anglia City's water prison by the Duke of the Tulip Family. Just a few days ago, something happened in Anglia City … On that day, I was alarmed by a violent explosion. The explosion was so loud that even the dungeon collapsed. The chains and noose that were originally tied to me also broke in the explosion.
I took the opportunity to escape from the dungeon and killed one of the guards. In the room outside the dungeon, I found the key to open the chains. At the same time, I found my Paladin badge in the drawer. So I took it back.
Originally, the Duke of the Tulip Family would personally interrogate me half of the time every day. But that day, he ran into big trouble.
When I rushed out of the dungeon, I discovered that it was already very chaotic outside. There were several fires in the city, and the dungeon was located in the abandoned Governor's Mansion of Anglia City. When I went out, I killed several guards and saw that the Governor's Mansion seemed to have just undergone a huge explosion.
I was originally worried that the Duke of the Tulip Family would come to arrest me. Your Majesty, I must remind you that Du Wei's strength has reached the Saint rank! Although I don't know how he did it, I am sure of it! Because I saw him kill the Sphinx with my own eyes and easily defeat and capture me.
In the chaos, I rushed out and stripped off the armor of a guard of the Governor's Mansion and put it on myself. Then I tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape Anglia City.
I was discovered at the city gate and was pursued by the Tulip Family. I managed to grab a horse and their cavalry chased me for a long time before I finally managed to escape. "
Oedipus suddenly opened his mouth: "You said that when you escaped, there was a big explosion in Anglia City? And there were fires? What's going on? "
"This is exactly what I wanted to report to you after escaping with my life!" Lochet's voice was flawless: "In the previous war in the Northwest, Du Wei used a weapon called gunpowder. Obviously, Anglia City was his production base … The cause of the explosion is a huge secret! Your Majesty, Lord Angel … When I escaped, I saw Du-Wei in the sky above the city … and … "
"And what?" Pope immediately asked.
"And a dragon! Your Majesty! " Lochet replied: "Obviously, the Duke of the Tulip Family seems to have a dragon pet. But the dragon seems to have not been tamed by him and is very violent. As a result, it caused the chaos."
Oedipus nodded: "It's just a dragon."
"It's not like that, Sir Angel." Lochet took a deep breath: "It's a Golden Dragon! I swear I didn't see it wrong! "
"… …"
Pope's face changed. Standing in the shadows in the corner, Oedipus remained silent and didn't say a word.
After a while, Oedipus calmly spoke: "Lochet, during your captivity, did you reveal any secrets of the Church?"
Suddenly, Lochet's eyes lit up. Ignoring the scars on his body, he suddenly stood up and staggered to the table next to him. On the table was a scripture of the Church of Light.
With one hand on the scripture and the other on his heart, Lochet said word by word: "I swear, I have never betrayed my faith!"
Lochet's firm voice echoed in the small prayer room.
Pope and Oedipus were silent for a long time. Then Pope's eyes fell on the scars on Lochet's body: "Welcome home, child!"
Oedipus's voice came after a moment: "Lochet, you have brought us useful information. But … "
The Angel's voice changed and became cold: "I believe your oath, but Lochet, you must understand …"
"I am willing to be examined." Lochet replied without hesitation.
Paul XVI glanced at the Angel and suddenly said slowly: "Lochet, I thought you were dead. Now that you are back, I think, in a few days, I will let you change your identity. Then you will officially leave the Angel Corps and return to the Holy Order! The position of our Great Knight has been vacant for a long time. "
Hearing this, Lochet suddenly became excited. He knelt in front of Pope, his face full of determination: "Your Majesty! I beg you to let me stay in the Angel Corps! "
"… Why?" Pope's face was a little ugly.
Lochet's eyes were full of hatred: "Your Majesty, this failure is an indelible pain and shame for me! I lost hundreds of men, and Sir Sphinx, who was with me, also died. I was captured by the enemy … For a Knight, this is an unforgettable shame! I don't want to change my identity and escape! Before I shed my blood, I beg you to let me stay in the Angel Corps! "
"You want revenge?" Oedipus' voice was still unhurried.
"Yes!" Lochet replied without hesitation.
After a long time, Oedipus suddenly laughed. His laughter was very soft, and then his eyes hidden in the shadows seemed to glance at Pope: "Your Majesty, it seems that you will have to find another suitable Great Knight!"
Paul XVI's eyes flashed with a trace of haze.
As for Lochet …
Although he was kneeling there, his fingers were tightly clenched …

In Anglia City, Du Wei looked at Gandorf with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face: "Teacher, have you heard of a saying?"
"What?"
"After the fall, fall into madness!" Du Wei smiled happily: "The nail has been driven …"
(I didn't update yesterday not because I was angry at being scolded. I don't have the qualifications to be angry. It's just that after being depressed, it affected my state and I couldn't write.
