"Do you feel unjust?
Are you angry?
Why don't you resist? "
The whispers in his ears suddenly rose and fell, causing the young man to fall into a trance. The last warning that rose from the bottom of his heart made the young man raise his hands to cover his ears. However, the whispers were like strands of music, drilling straight into the young man's heart.
The young man's shattered beliefs couldn't stop the invasion at all.
A moment later, the young man's face started to twitch and twist.
"No!
"No!"
This isn't what I want! "
The young man shouted.
He turned around and stood up.
He wanted to rush out the door.
He wanted to … ask for help!
At that moment, other than asking for help, the young man couldn't think of anything else.
Bang!
He pushed the door hard but it didn't budge.
It was locked from the inside?
The young man was stunned. He started to knock on the door.
Bang Bang Bang!
"Save me!
Save me! "
The young man shouted.
Such a voice was naturally heard by the two Deacons outside the door, but the two Deacons remained unmoved.
They were here to watch over the young man, not to save him.
As for the young man's life or death?
They didn't care.
After all, he was just a traitor who was bewitched by the heretics.
…
When Valentin's wagon drove into the outer courtyard of the cathedral, the sun had completely risen.
The reflection of the sunlight from the crystals made the whole cathedral look extremely holy.
It wasn't the first time Valentin saw such a scene.
But each time he saw it, he would praise it from the bottom of his heart.
"What a rich man!
If all these crystals were exchanged for Gold Purton, how much would it be?
At least a million?
If I could store them in my castle's treasure vault … "
Valentin dared not to think further when the thought came into his mind.
This was the cathedral of the God of War after all, he couldn't be too presumptuous.
At least, he had to ensure the basic level of respect.
Even though what he thought of just now, in most people's eyes, was enough to send him to the stake.
But!
It wasn't considered a mistake if he wasn't discovered!
Valentin followed one of the deacons into the cathedral with his own beliefs.
A lot of people were already praying inside the cathedral.
Not all of them were clergy.
On the contrary, most of them were nobles like Valentin.
After every noble finished their prayers, they would walk to the front of the church, where the donation box was placed, and place the Gold Purton that they had prepared in advance.
It was so much that it filled a whole pouch of money.
There were at least three to five of them.
Valentin chose 10 Gold Purtons.
In fact, if he could, he didn't want to give a single copper coin.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.
He had to do this.
Because he couldn't let himself be too conspicuous.
After doing all this, Valentin began to converse with the other nobles while looking around.
He wanted to find his target.
Based on the information he received, there was a high chance that the man would appear in the confessional, but all the confessional doors that he could see were open and empty.
"Is he on duty?"
When this thought popped up, Valentin shook his head.
He had memorized his target's duty and training schedule, so it was impossible for him to be on duty or training at this time. The man was just a common Knight of the Church, so he was destined to be common.
Because of that, Kieran was relieved to leave the man in the church as a trump card against the king.
He believed they had paid a huge price to locate the man.
But the king wouldn't have paid such a huge price.
The king didn't even know about the man's existence.
As for the War Shrine?
It was even more impossible for the king to know.
Every year, there would be orphans like the target sent to the shrine to receive education and training.
The target's talents weren't outstanding, so he wouldn't have caught the attention of the church's higher-ups.
"But where is he?"
Valentin thought in his heart.
At the same time, he was considering whether he should bring the target back.
It was too troublesome to do so every time.
However, his ally's persuasion worked once more.
"Our king is much stronger than he looks."
"That kind of strength doesn't just come from his authority, but also …"
"Power!"
Valentin couldn't help but twist his neck when he thought about his ally's fearful face when he mentioned the word 'power'.
As one of the traditional nobles, he knew about the rumors about the Aïtantin royal family.
A few of them, in particular, made him unable to eat or sleep in peace.
Maybe there were mist bombs among them.
But who could guarantee that they were all fake?
"Damn it!"
Valentin couldn't hold back his cursing in his heart.
"Duke Valentin, what's bothering you?"
The ninth captain of the Apologetic Knight, Sean, walked over with such a voice.
The captain of the Knight, who had a secret identity, had a warm smile on his face and a full suit of armor. He looked valiant and extraordinary, attracting the attention of the noble ladies and young ladies around him.
"Nothing.
I'm just annoyed because of some news last night. "
A hint of resentment appeared on Valentine's bloated face at just the right time.
"Is it because of the new Highness?
"Viper Sect … this is really unexpected."
The captain of the Knight exclaimed.
"Whether it's real or not, we still don't know."
Valentin coldly grunted.
"His Majesty the Sixth will judge these matters, we don't have to worry about it.
My lord duke, have a good day, I have something else to attend to, so I'll have to leave now. "
The captain of the Knight said.
"Very well."
Valentin nodded repeatedly and saw the captain off. He then returned to his wagon.
When the wagon left the cathedral, the face of the great noble, who had been showing his indignation, suddenly turned gloomy.
The great noble knew a little about the identity of the captain of the Knight.
Although it wasn't comprehensive enough, it was enough for Valentin to understand what he should do.
"Did the War Shrine find anything?
"I won't!"
No one else would know about this! "
The great noble guessed.
Despite the hints in his heart, the great noble felt his heart beating faster, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Hurry up.
Let's go back. "
Valentin ordered the wagoner.
…
Sean was walking back to the barracks of the War Shrine.
The guards and Knight along the way bowed at the Knight.
He went straight to the room where two Dark Hall deacons were standing.
"My lord."
The two Dark Hall deacons bowed.
"Open the door."
Sean ordered the deacons.
One of the deacons turned around and opened the door. The bright sunlight shone in, revealing everything in the room, including the young Knight, Gino.
Sean couldn't help but curl his lips into a grin when he saw the dispirited and dispirited young man — everything was within his expectations.
