Connor reached out and caught the document in mid-air. He was surprised by Marguerite's actions. After glancing at the cover of the document, his pupils immediately shrank to the size of a pinhole.
This document was engraved with runes representing the Church of the Storm. Below the runes were the words "Church's Eleventh Document". Beside the words, there was a small line of words: "Reading under first-class authority will result in the abolition of one's cultivation and lifelong imprisonment!"
After taking another deep breath, Connor raised his head to look at Marguerite. Without a doubt, the document in his hand was a secret document of the Loen Church of the Storm. Furthermore, from the small line of words on the document, this document's confidentiality level wasn't low. Otherwise, it wouldn't have written "abolition of one's cultivation and lifelong imprisonment", a punishment second only to death.
"Take a good look! That Enchanted Knight is just an errand. He won't know much about their changes! "Marguerite seemed to be very satisfied with Connor's reaction.
Hearing Marguerite's words, Connor was even more shocked. Marguerite wasn't wrong. That fat beast, no! It should be the Enchanted Knight. After Connor temporarily shielded him from the perception restriction, the fat Enchanted Knight began to tell Connor what he wanted to know.
His name was Hector, and he was only an official knight. Because of some reasons that even he couldn't explain, he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible. That was why he joined an organization called Sarok Knight's Association five years ago. He wanted to get the guidance of a grand knight. His name was Hector, and he was only an official knight. Because he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he wanted to change his life style and social class. Therefore, he joined an organization called Sarok Knight's Association five years ago. He wanted to get guidance from a grand knight!
In the world of Knights, an official Knight's talent wasn't too mediocre, and the Knight's Breathing Technique he practiced wasn't too bad either. As long as he persevered in his training, although it wasn't easy to become an official Knight, it wasn't too difficult either. Without the guidance of a teacher, it wasn't uncommon for an official Knight to finally become an official Knight with just a Knight's Breathing Technique manual.
However, after becoming an official Knight, without the guidance of a teacher or the support of money, it was extremely difficult to make any progress. There were many ascetics who relied on just a Knight's Breathing Technique to become an official Knight from an ordinary background. After becoming an official Knight, they still persisted in their original training method and couldn't make any progress in their cultivation even after decades.
As a result, many official knights who had trained hard to become knights from ordinary backgrounds chose to join various knight groups, families, and companies in order to obtain guidance and support. In Connor's memory, there were several such people in the knight group of the Ferguson family. They signed contracts with the Ferguson family to serve the family in order to obtain guidance and resources, or they directly married a woman of the Ferguson family and became a member of the Ferguson family.
This Hector also signed a contract with the Sarok Knight Association that he joined for 20 years. During the interrogation, Hector bitterly told Connor that he thought the contract was bound by the laws of the Kahman Empire, but he never expected it to be a soul contract. After signing this contract, his life and death would be under the control of others.
Hector didn't join the Hector Knighthood alone. There were eleven other knights who were in the same situation as him, including the thin demonized knight who self-destructed to cover Hector's escape. His name was Kovacs.
According to Hector's confession, after he, Kovac, and the others joined the Sarok Knight Association, they secretly went to a small island in the Stormy Ocean and lived a life isolated from the rest of the world. On the small island, they received guidance from the Grand Knights of the Sarok Knight Association and began to consume a secret medicine provided by the Sarok Knight Association that was said to be able to aid in cultivation.
After receiving guidance from the Grand Knights and taking the secret medicine that could aid in cultivation, the knights thought that their good days were coming and that they had chosen the right Sarok Knight Association. However, a nightmare fell upon them. The bodies of the knights who took the secret medicine began to show abnormalities. Some started to like eating raw meat for no reason, some started to binge on food, and some even started to have hair growing crazily.
When everyone started to panic and started to doubt the identity of the secret medicine that they had taken, Salok and his brother took the initiative to give them an explanation. Salok and his brother told them that the knockout medicine was made from their specially made precious medicinal materials which could significantly improve the strength of knights. Additionally, the abnormalities in their bodies were normal after taking the secret medicine. Therefore, they didn't need to worry about the safety of the secret medicine at all. The guy who had eaten himself to death had died because he was sick in the first place. The secret medicine itself didn't have any safety issues.
After the explanation, the Sarok Knight Association also taught them a very strange breathing technique that was said to be able to promote the absorption of the secret medicine. After taking the secret medicine, their strength increased just as the Sarok Knight Association said. Therefore, the knights chose to believe the Sarok Knight Association's explanation at that time.
However, a month later, the knights who chose to believe in Sarok's Knight Union had their first victim. According to Hector's confession, the knight who became gluttonous because of the secret medicine suddenly lost control and bit his own hand like a wild beast. He even ate his own flesh and blood, which caused him to bleed to death.
Such a strange situation terrified the knights, so they once again sought an explanation from the Sarok Knight Association. However, this time, the Sarok Knight Association tore off the gentle veil and revealed their true colors. They directly used force to control the 11 knights, including Hector and Kovacs, and forced them to continue to take the secret medicine and practice the very strange breathing technique that they had taught them.
It wasn't that the eleven strong knights didn't think of resisting, but the huge gap in strength made it impossible for them to break free from the control of the Knights of Sarok. Not only that, the Knights of Sarok also threatened them with their families, telling them that if they resisted, not only would they die, but their families would also be implicated.
