Chapter 152 Explaining the Divine Canon

Barely suppressing the churning emotions, Bonnie said softly: "You...you don't have to do this for me. 【】"

"How is this possible?" Roger righteously said: "How can I not stop the crime, let alone... the crime is aimed at you!"

Roger's words made Bonnie's heart sweet, but she still couldn't let go of the nightmare beast, and said hesitantly: "But, after all, your mount is an evil creature from the abyss of the Demon Realm..."

Roger knew that Bonnie's faith was difficult to accept the nightmare beast, and it was not easy for her to raise this point to herself so tactfully.If she couldn't let the female knight let go of this matter, she would always have such a knot in her heart.Fortunately, Roger inherited all the knowledge of the Castle Hub and knew the teachings of the Church of the Supreme God like the back of his hand. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly thought of how to persuade Bonnie.

"As long as you have justice in your heart, what you do is also righteous. Even if you walk in hell, you will be protected by me." Roger read out a passage softly, and asked Bonnie: "Do you know this passage?"

This passage comes from the divine scriptures of the Church of the Supreme God. Of course, Bonnie understood it very clearly, and immediately nodded slightly and said, "This is what the Supreme God said, and it is recorded in the divine scriptures."

"That's right. The Supreme God has made it very clear that as long as you do things for a righteous purpose, you will be protected by him. As for the tools and methods used, he doesn't care at all." Roger Clapping his hands, he said, "Although the nightmare beast is an evil creature, as long as I ride it to do good deeds, the Supreme God will not blame me, but will even praise me."

"Is that so?" Roger's reasoning was plausible, and Bonnie couldn't help but turn her head to ask.In fact, this is also because the female knight hopes that Roger will not be punished by the Supreme God, so she appears so hesitant.If it was someone else, Bonnie would have yelled "Heretics" long ago, and then slashed across with a sword.

"Absolutely." Roger continued solemnly: "Just like weapons, bad people use weapons to destroy justice, and good people use weapons to maintain justice. Therefore, it is not the means and tools that a person uses to judge whether a person is evil, but the means and tools that a person uses to judge whether he is evil or not." It's for his heart!"

Roger had been exposed to similar sophistry when he was on Earth before, and it was more than enough to convince Bonnie at this time.The female knight lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled at him and said, "You are indeed right, I will keep this matter a secret for you."

Knowing that Bonnie has a resolute character, since she said so, she would not tell others about it, and Roger felt relieved.But just as Roger breathed a sigh of relief, Bonnie suddenly stared at him with burning eyes and said, "When the drug was taking effect, why did you refuse my request, did you...do you think I'm not pretty enough because you don't like me?"

After the most worrying problem was solved, Bonnie immediately thought of Roger's too "calm" performance just now, and couldn't help worrying about whether she was unattractive to him.Although Bonnie is strong and courageous, she is still a girl after all, so she is naturally very nervous about such things.She is also straightforward, and immediately asks what comes to mind without concealing it.

"That's because we didn't have time to do it, who knew the effect of the medicine would wear off so quickly!" Bonnie's words brought back Roger's sadness, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.However, he also knew that under such circumstances, he could never tell the truth, so he quickly replied with a sincere face: "Who says you are not beautiful enough? You are either blind or stupid. How could I not fall in love with you? It's just... I don't have a sense of justice." Allow me to take advantage of others, if I really did that at that time, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Roger's answer made Bonnie very satisfied, and her sharp eyes became gentle.However, the female knight has always been strong, and she is really not used to looking at people tenderly like this, even if the other party is Roger, whom she has a crush on.So Bonnie quickly returned to her usual heroic appearance, stood up and said to Roger: "That's all for today, continue the special training after school tomorrow, go home!"

Bonnie walked out of the classroom with her strong legs without waiting for Roger to answer.But when she reached the door, her footsteps slowed down, and she whispered: "Be careful on the road!"

"Huh?" Surprised by the inadvertent gentleness of the female knight, before Roger could answer, Bonnie walked out without knowing it.Alone in the empty classroom, Roger recalled everything that happened before and the slight change in the female knight's attitude towards himself, and couldn't help but chuckled softly: "Hey... there is a way to look!"

The next day Roger went to the knight school as if nothing had happened, and Bonnie also taught the students how to practice swordsmanship as seriously as before, and nothing seemed to have changed.However, Roger found that when the female swordsmanship teacher looked at him, the eyes had a little more special meaning, and only the two parties could feel this.

Of course, a group of noble children, including Trulli and Stuka, did not come to school that day.However, these students are a group of people who can do whatever they want in school, and they often skipped classes before not coming to school, so they didn't attract anyone's attention at first.

It wasn't until that afternoon that the atmosphere in the school became completely different from usual.The security team from the brigade suddenly marched into the school, and even the surroundings of the school were put on alert. Even the Overwatch Council sent a brigade of troops and quickly stationed in each classroom to stop the teachers and students from attending classes, and even prohibited everyone from interacting with each other. say.

When the spy from the Overwatch Council entered the classroom where Roger was, it happened to be the time when Bonnie was giving swordsmanship lessons to everyone.As soon as a few spies came in like an enemy, Roger exchanged glances with the female knight without leaving a trace. Both of them knew very well that the matter behind the school was finally discovered.

Because the place where the deceased last appeared was the knight school, so this place also became the focus of the investigation. All the teachers and students were interrogated in detail by the Overwatch Council spies.But of course Roger and Bonnie, who knew about it, kept their mouths shut, and the others didn't know about it at the time, so the Overwatch Council conducted a vigorous investigation at the school for several days, but found nothing.

The spies withdrew as quickly as they had come.However, this incident left a lot of aftermath in the Knight School. Many students were secretly talking about it, and it became the most sensational incident in the Knight School in recent years.

In fact, this incident not only shocked the entire capital, but even the aristocratic circles across the country were shocked.Nine noble children, including the nephew of Marquis Vatel, the minister of military affairs, and an ordinary student of the knight school were killed at the same time, which itself was a major event that caused a sensation throughout the country.

What's even more appalling is that all the victims' bodies were mutilated, and some of the bodies could only be identified by the clothes they wore and certain features on their bodies.And at the place where the corpse was found, there were also footprints of a corpse worm and many nightmare beasts, all of which pointed to the same possibility that this matter was probably done by those undead creatures disguised as humans.
