The 65th chapter "God Paladin's Relic"
Dadaneier did not seem to care about this. He even squatted down and carefully examined the body of the Knight. He even reached out and pinched his wrist twice.
"He died less than two days ago." Dadaneier stood up and frowned: "Look at his wound … … what could have cut a fourth level Knight in half?"
"And this!" Du Wei frowned and pointed at the thing that was placed next to the Knight's body.
It was a long sword. Apparently, it was the weapon that the Knight used when he was alive. But this sword was also broken in half!
"Perhaps during the battle, the other party cut this guy in half along with his sword. Is that so? "Du Wei frowned.
"Very likely." Dadaneier turned around and looked at Du Wei: "This guy was buried by someone. Look, this snow pile is his grave. If it was a magical beast, it would not bury the body. It would only drag the body away and eat it. Only a human would do that. "
Du Wei thought for a moment and then looked at Dadaneier: "Dadaneier, what level are you?"
"I have the title of a third level swordsman. My swordsman level is not high, but I am very confident in my archery. "Dadaneier replied.
"I know." Du Wei said seriously: "Friend, then you should have experience. Look at this broken sword … … the cut on it is very neat. It is not strange for a powerful magical beast to bite off a warrior's sword. But the cut is very neat, obviously it was cut by a sharp weapon! I don't think this was done by a magical beast. Obviously, this Knight did not die in the hands of a magical beast, but was killed by a human. "
Dadaneier listened to Du Wei's words and immediately focused his mind. He carefully looked at the broken part of the sword.
After a long time, he raised his head: "Yes, you are right. I was too careless. In this place, I only paid attention to magical beasts. "
"Still the same question … Dardanelle. You are a third level warrior. What kind of expert do you think would be able to cut a fourth level warrior in half with a single sword, or perhaps a single blade? "
Dadaneier's expression became more serious.
"The fourth rank Knight has already grasped fighting aura. A Knight who had mastered Dou Qi was not weak. If I want to cut it in half … "Dadaneier thought carefully and looked at the sword … Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
"Look! Harry! Look at the chest area of this Knight's leather armor … look at this place! "
Dadaneier seemed to have discovered something. He supported the corpse and pointed at a shallow mark on Knight's chest, "Look, it's here. Did you see that? "
Du Wei leaned over and said, "Hmm, it seems like there was something hanging here. It was probably a badge or something like that … but it was taken down."
"Yes." Dadaneier nodded, "This is usually the place where the Knight wears his badge. But, you see, there is already a badge on his chest. It is the fourth level Knight badge issued by the Knight's Guild … In the continent, what kind of Knight would wear two badges? "
Both of them looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "The God of the Light Shrines, Paladin!"
The religious power of the Roland Continent was strong, and the Light Shrines had a strong religious influence. In some ways, this authority even threatened the imperial rule of the Empire. The Shrines had their own taxes and a certain amount of armed forces. This armed force was the God of the Shrines, Paladin.
The Light Shrines would train some people from a young age. When they reached a certain age, they would differentiate them according to their talent. Those who had the talent for martial arts would be trained in martial arts. When they reached adulthood, after going through baptism and tests, they would select those who had outstanding martial arts skills and the most devout beliefs to join the Holy Order of the Shrines. Their mission was to use their lives to defend the honor and dignity of the Shrines and God.
In the entire continent, only the God of the Light Shrines, Paladin, would wear two Knight badges on his chest. One was the Knight rank badge of the Knight Association, and the other was the glorious God of Paladin's badge. It was the symbol of God Paladin's identity.
Similarly, when God Paladin died in battle, his companions would take down the badge of God Paladin and bring it back to the Shrines. It would be stored in a place called the "Holy Hall" to commemorate the sacrifice of the Knight.
Dadaneier's eyes flashed and he quickly rolled up the sleeves of the dead Knight. His clothes were frozen stiff, and it was difficult to roll them up. However, when his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, Dadaneier sighed and said, "It seems that I was right. Look at this scar, it was made by burning with divine oil. This is a kind of baptism for God Paladin in the Shrines. Every God Paladin's arm has a scar made by this kind of Holy Oil. "
Du Wei moved closer and saw that there was a burn mark on the arm of the corpse. This mark was very unique, as if it was a jumping flame.
Dadaneier explained while gesturing, "When the young God Paladin receives the baptism, there will be a big pot of Holy Oil beside him. Then the Shrines' Pope will personally preside over the ceremony. He will hold a special iron sword in his hand, and there is a seal on the sword head … The sword and the seal together represent God Paladin's mission, which is to defend the authority of God in the secular world with 'force and power.' During the ceremony, the Pope will personally soak the sword head with the seal in the hot Holy Oil, and then burn it red and brand it on the arm of the Knight who is receiving the baptism! This mark is the glory of every God Paladin! It is also their glory … On the other hand, if you do something that goes against God, you will become a traitor. You will violate your own beliefs and commit a serious crime, and God Paladin will be punished by the Shrines … Even before you are executed, the Shrines will use a knife to scrape off the mark on your arm! This means that even if you die, your soul will not be forgiven by God! "
What Dadaneier said, Du Wei also knew. He nodded, "Yes, so, although it is said that God Paladin wears two badges, God Paladin himself thinks that he wears three badges. And the third badge is the scar on their arm. "
"So you also know about this, Harry." Dadaneier sighed.
The two of them silently buried the dead Knight again, and then their expressions were somewhat dignified!
A God Paladin who was killed! Moreover, it was a Level 4 Knight who had good martial skills!
This wasn't a simple matter!
God Paladin's position in the Empire was very special. They were responsible for guarding the power of God in the human world. They were a special group. These people trained hard since childhood, were powerful, and devout, and … it had to be said that most of the God Paladin's moral character was very noble.
And the most important point … No one dared to kill a God Paladin!
Even if it was a God Paladin who violated the law, or a God Paladin who betrayed their faith, only the Shrines could judge and punish them.
Not to mention a sinner … even if it was a normal God Paladin, if one was killed, it was equal to challenging the authority of the Light Shrines! Challenging the authority of the God's agent in the human world!
That was to become the enemy of the entire Light Shrines!
Becoming the enemy of the Light Shrines … even the Emperor of the Empire, or the Magician's Guild, would not dare to do so!
Those who dared to become the enemy of God Paladin, or even kill God Paladin, were all notorious, powerful, and evil people.
For example, a few decades ago, a powerful and evil Magician once killed tens of thousands of civilians in order to study Necromancy Magic. He even turned a small town into a ghost town overnight. This practice angered the Shrines and they sent out the Knight, who paid a heavy price to kill that Magician.
There were many similar things in history, and they were all done by God Paladin.
But that was it!
Apart from that, God Paladin would never do anything else!
Even more so, he would not come to the Frozen Forest to hunt magic beasts!
God Paladin was not a mercenary!
In this damn place, God Paladin appeared. Then there was only one explanation: God Paladin came here to carry out a mission! They were here to kill an evil expert! To use their swords to defend the honor of the Shrines!
"I think, our journey will not be peaceful." Du Wei and Dadaneier looked at each other with a complicated expression.
# 8226.
After resting for a while, the two of them buried the dead God Paladin and continued to move forward.
However, one day later, they found another tomb!
This time, there were three tombs! The three tombs buried the dead God Paladin! This time, one of the corpses made Dadaneier stunned on the spot after he saw it!
"Brother … Brother Sir Fei! This is Brother Sir Fei!! "
Looking at the man lying on the snow, he was wearing a silver armor … In this damn weather, he did not wear leather armor, but wore a metal armor. This was absolutely crazy in the eyes of ordinary people! Metal things in such a cold place could easily freeze people to death! It was far less useful than leather armor!
But this dead man was wearing a metal armor … If he was not crazy, then it could only mean that his strength was very strong, to the point that he was not affected by this cold weather!
This guy's face was very clean, there was not even a trace of blood on his body. This was different from the other corpses that Du Wei and Dadaneier found. Obviously, the people who buried him were also very polite to him because of his different identity. Even when they buried this Knight, they helped him shave his beard and tidied his hair meticulously.
He was quietly lying in the snow pit, his hands hugging his chest. In his hand, a beautiful silver sword was lying quietly on his chest. This person's appearance was very handsome. Although his whole body was blue from the cold, Du Wei could still imagine how elegant he was when he was alive.
"Brother Sir Fei … High God Paladin of the Shrines." After the initial surprise, Dadaneier said with a gloomy face, "He is also a … Level Eight Knight! Harry, you have to know that a Knight above Level Eight has the title of Great Knight! Killing a Great Knight … I really can't imagine who has such strength, and dared to be the enemy of the Shrines! "
Dadaneier stood up, and then bowed deeply in front of the corpse of the Knight called "Brother Sir Fei", "Brother Sir Fei, I didn't expect to see you here … The last time I saw you, you were at the side of the Marquise. Thank you for driving away the evil guy who cursed our Madam."
Saying this, Dadaneier's eyes showed a trace of sadness.
Du Wei remembered very clearly that Dadaneier had mentioned this name when they first met … Marquise Lister had met an evil magician when she was on an outing. At that time, there was a God Paladin protecting her. That God Paladin was the dead Brother Fei. Brother Fei represented the Shrines to see the Marquise Lister to thank the Marquise for donating a huge amount of wealth to the Shrines.
Du Wei looked at the distance … Except for the sound of the wind, it was silent, and there was no movement.
The lake in the distance was still covered with ice, and there was not even a shadow in the snow.
"To be able to kill a Level Eight Knight and God Paladin, and this Level Eight Knight had a lot of help from his companions …" Dadaneier said in a low voice, "A person with this kind of ability can be regarded as one of the strongest people in the continent! Since when did the Roland Empire have a person who dared to challenge the Shrines and had such a powerful strength?! "
Du Wei was lost in thought, and didn't seem to respond to Dadaneier's words. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly squatted down, picked up Brother Fei's body, and started to dig under his body!
"Harry! What are you doing? "Dadaneier was a little unhappy," Please don't disturb Brother Fei's sleep! "
"Dadaneier, don't you know … When God Paladin buries his companions, he will also bury the belongings of his companions under the body!" Du Wei answered, but his hands didn't stop, "I heard that those devout God Paladin often have the habit of writing diaries, because they need to pray every day. When they are outside, they can't pray in the Shrines, so these Knights often choose to write diaries to record their inner thoughts."
Soon, after digging a hole under the body, Du Wei whispered and took out a cloth bag. After opening it, there was a small silver pendant with a small statue of the Goddess of Light, a dagger … and a small book!
"Look, this is Brother Fei Knight's diary." Du Wei raised his head and looked at Dadaneier, "I think there should be an answer to what happened."
Dadaneier didn't say anything, and he frowned, "I don't think this is a good idea. Brother Fei definitely doesn't want anyone to touch his things … Harry, just put it back. "
But Du Wei didn't listen to him. Instead, he opened the diary and flipped through it. After a while, Du Wei said loudly, "Look …"
