Therefore, the knights had no choice but to accept the fact that they were being controlled by others. The Knights of Sarok were monitoring the knights. They were taking the secret medicine on time and practicing the Knights' Breathing Technique that they had taught them. At the same time, they also began to carefully check the development of the knights' bodies. However, after listening to Hector's explanation, Connor felt that they were more like lab rats recording data for experiments!
As they continued to practice the strange Knights' Breathing Technique and take the secret medicine, the knights felt that their strength was improving rapidly. However, at the same time, the second and third victims appeared one after another. Just like the first victim, they began to lose control and died in a way that no one could imagine …
When there were only six knights left from the original twelve, the Knights of Sarok made a new move. They performed some kind of ritual on the remaining six knights. During this ritual, two more knights were killed. Their heads exploded like rotten watermelons.
After the ritual, the remaining four knights, including Hector and Kovacs, could clearly feel that their bodies had become very abnormal. Not only were they suppressed to a great extent, but their strength was also greatly improved. Even when facing a Grand Knight who was far more powerful than them in a one-on-one battle, they could completely gain the upper hand. This made them very happy. They thought that their misfortune was coming to an end. However, they were too optimistic. They gradually began to realize that their behavior, consciousness, and thoughts were gradually becoming more and more like beasts. As time passed, this phenomenon began to become more and more serious.
As for the problem faced by the remaining four knights, the Knights of Sarok gave them a solution. They provided them with a medicine called Magic Resistance Powder. After taking this medicine, the beast-like effect of their behavior, consciousness, and thoughts would be greatly reduced. However, the effect of the Magic Resistance Powder was not permanent. It was only temporary. If they did not take the Magic Resistance Powder for a period of time, not only would their behavior, consciousness, and thoughts continue to develop, but they would also live a life worse than death. Only by continuing to take the Magic Resistance Powder could the symptoms be alleviated.
At this moment, the remaining four knights began to realize what they had become. They were the "Magic Knights" that Marguerite had just mentioned.
This was what Hector had said under Connor's torture about how he became a Magic Knight. Hector had thought about the secret medicine that he was forced to take under the Knights of Sarok. In his opinion, the secret medicine he took should be related to some kind of beast. As for the details, he was not very clear.
After becoming Magic Knights, Hector, Kovacs, and the other two Magic Knights, whose strength had greatly increased, had once again thought of getting rid of the Knights of Sarok and even taking revenge. However, at this time, a figure appeared in the Knights of Sarok and made them give up on the idea of revenge. In the Knights of Sarok, people called this person Zhan Baoluo. This Mr. Zhan Baoluo gave the four Magic Knights a chance to get rid of the Knights of Sarok's control.
As long as the four Magic Knights joined forces and survived one attack from him, they and their families would regain their freedom. Unfortunately, the four Magic Knights failed. Even when Mr. Zhan Baoluo appeared in front of them, the four Magic Knights who had greatly increased their strength and confidence were bursting with confidence did not even have the courage to face Mr. Zhan Baoluo, let alone survive one attack. From then on, Hector, Kovacs, and the other two Magic Knights became the killing tools of the Knights of Sarok. They would kill whoever the Knights of Sarok ordered them to kill.
The tools that the Knights of Sarok controlled could be said to be comprehensive. Apart from the various restrictions in the Magic Knights' minds and their families, the most important thing was the Magic Resistance Powder. The reason Connor was attacked by two Magic Knights instead of four was largely because of the Magic Resistance Powder. As mentioned earlier, the Magic Resistance Powder provided by the Knights of Sarok could temporarily alleviate and suppress a Magic Knight's beast-like behavior, thoughts, and consciousness.
Magic Knights had to take the Magic Resistance Powder once a month. If they did not take the Magic Resistance Powder, they would suffer a fate worse than death. According to Hector's words during Connor's interrogation, if they did not take the Magic Resistance Powder for a month, they would feel as if there were countless insects gnawing on their flesh and bones. The pain was simply unbearable for humans. Connor could not forget the deep fear, despair, and terror in Hector's eyes when he said this.
It was precisely because the Magic Resistance Powder was so terrifying that the other two Magic Knights, except for Hector and Kovacs, probably had a conscience after being ordered to kill too many people, or perhaps they simply did not want to live such a controlled life anymore. Or perhaps it was for other reasons that people did not know. In short, the two Magic Knights had teamed up to secretly obtain the formula of the Magic Resistance Powder. However, they failed. As for their ending, it was very simple. The Knights of Sarok did not give them the Magic Resistance Powder anymore and did not allow them to commit suicide. Under the guidance of the Knights of Sarok, Kovacs and Hector witnessed the miserable final moments of their former companions' lives because they did not have the Magic Resistance Powder.
After seeing the miserable state of Hector and Kovacs, they no longer dared to have any thoughts that they should not have. This was also the reason why Hector did not choose to leak the secret before Connor took action. In his eyes, the horror of not having the Magic Resistance Powder was far greater than death. In order to not let his family be implicated by him, Hector confirmed that Connor had temporarily blocked the perception restriction in his head. Therefore, Knight Sarok really wouldn't know what he had said. After that, he said the most valuable thing.
The person directly leading him and Kovacs was a middle-aged man named Pioli from the Knights of Sarok. They had also received the anti-magic powder from Pioli. Every once in a while, Pioli would issue them missions, telling them who to kill. Hector and Kovacs's range of activity wasn't limited to Loen. There were traces of their activities throughout the Kahman Empire and even the New World. And three days ago, Pioli had informed the two of them that their target was Connor Ferguson!
