This knight is too perfect

Chapter 23 Holy Communion

The next morning, in a cabin next to Fergus's private training ground.

"Well……"

Fergus woke up and stretched. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a good sleep.

There are no lingering nightmares, no screams of innocent people, and no heavy burden of sin.

At this moment, Fergus felt as if he had returned to ten years ago, back to the time when he was still a church knight and had no distractions.

Not only do you feel relaxed, but you also feel full of strength!
"Are you awake, Master Fergus?"

Fergus looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Rhine had changed into the training militia uniform and was walking towards him with a bowl of milk and a loaf of bread.

Seeing Rhine, Fergus finally remembered what happened last night.

He looked at the witch ring that Rhine wore on her left ring finger and said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Rhine, thank you for saving me."

In response, Rhine put down his breakfast and shook his head and said, "No, Lord Fergus, the one who really saved you was not me, but the kindness in your heart."

"After all, a person without conscience will not feel guilty because they cannot feel the weight of life."

"And I just helped you when you were most tired, that's all."

"You kid..."

Faced with Rhine's excessive "humility", Fergus smiled helplessly.

But after laughing, Fergus became serious, more serious than ever before.

"Rhine, no matter what you say, I still want to thank you for lending me a helping hand when I needed it most."

"And I, Fergus Doyle, swear in the name of a knight that I will do everything possible to repay this favor in the future."

"This is not a transaction, but a proof of a knight's adherence to his chivalry."

Fergus' tone was firm, so firm that Rhine didn't even need to rely on the knight's protection to feel the sincerity in his words.

Therefore, Rhine didn't say much on this topic, but turned to look outside the door.

"Lord Fergus, let's put aside the matter of your practice of chivalry for now."

"After you finish your breakfast, I have something more important that I need you to decide personally."

Seeing that Rhine was speaking so seriously, Fergus immediately got out of bed.

He came straight to the table, sat down with his legs spread out, and began to eat voraciously.

Gulu gulu...

It took less than half a minute for Fergus to finish his breakfast using an almost violent inhalation method.

Then he put down the empty cup in his hand, casually wiped the milk remaining at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Tell me, what's the important matter."

Seeing that Fergus was so efficient, Rhine did not waste any time and immediately told Fergus everything that happened yesterday.

That bizarre night, Fergus was stunned by what he heard.

Because he didn't expect that so many things would happen just when he finally got a good night's sleep.

The mysterious moon noble and the strange castle soul stealer.

How come all these extraordinary things that were rarely seen in the past suddenly popped up in his mind after he fell asleep?

He was too slow before, so he didn't notice these abnormalities.

Or is it because the Baron’s return is imminent that so many strange things are happening in the castle?

Thinking of this, Fergus immediately asked Rhine to take him to see the bodies of the three soul stealers.

He had to see it for himself.

Because if what Rhine said was true, then the seriousness of this matter... was far beyond Rhine's imagination.

Soon, the two arrived at the training ground outside.

Since he was not sure whether the soul stealer had other unknown characteristics, Rhine not only did not touch the bodies of these guys last night, but also stayed on guard in the training ground all night.

This is to prevent these guys from suddenly 'coming back to life'.

Fortunately, Rhine has now entered an extraordinary stage, and has been blessed with the 'Morning Star Breathing Method'.

Otherwise, Rhine, who is only twelve years old, might not have the energy to be so lively after spending a night like this.

After seeing the bodies of the three soul stealers with his own eyes, Fergus's expression became extremely ugly.

Don't think that Fergus is just an apprentice knight now.

But as someone who came from the Church of Holy Light, he has a wealth of extraordinary experience.

This includes the common extraordinary monster Soul Stealer and what their appearance means.

"There's no doubt about it. These three are indeed soul stealers."

"Looking at their appearance, they must have been 'infected' for some time."

After examining the bodies of the three soul stealers, Fergus stood up again.

He looked at Rhine beside him and frowned, "Rhine, the Soul Stealer is the product of the zombie path Beyonders eating, and it is also their most commonly used Beyonder method."

"Since these three soul stealers were able to lurk in the castle for a while, I was unaware of it."

"That means the zombie Beyonder who is controlling them is either near the castle or inside it."

"The former is easier to say, because it is possible that it is just a zombie wandering into the Thorn Territory."

"But if it's the latter, then the matter is very serious."

“Although it is said that extraordinary paths do not distinguish between good and evil, and only look at the people who embark on this path, there are always some extraordinary paths that are more likely to lead people who embark on them astray.”

"The zombie pathway controlled by the Holy Communion is one of them."

Holy Communion? Zombie Path?

If Rhine remembered correctly, he had heard similar words from Lilitha last night.

And Lilisa made no secret of her disgust for them.

Thinking of this, Rhine immediately asked with some curiosity: "Master Fergus, what is this Holy Communion?"

After thinking for a while, Fergus began to explain the origin of this "holy communion" in the most popular terms possible.

It turns out that the so-called Holy Communion is essentially a secret society composed of a group of special extraordinary people.

This society not only has a huge number of members, but also has numerous powerful extraordinary people among them.

This is because what they practiced was a method of extracting source material that was considered "shocking" even in the extraordinary world.

This method of extracting source material is...'eating people'.

Pure, literal 'eating people'.

Because the "meal" in the Eucharist refers to various kinds of "people".

Although in the eyes of the church, witches are the representative of evil in the world, the secret society of witches is even more synonymous with evil.

But if compared with the Holy Communion Society, the Witch Society can only be regarded as "chaotic neutral" or "lawful evil" at best.

There is still a long way to go before it becomes truly evil.

But the Eucharists are different, they are pure, ultimate evil.

It is a synonym for all chaos and all disasters.

It is a true 'chaotic evil' existence.

Therefore, no matter which country or which extraordinary organization.

Even if they didn't kill all the people who attended the Holy Communion, they would definitely keep their distance from them.

Because you can never be sure whether your food will be on the next menu that is served on the table at the Eucharist.

That’s right, Extraordinary People are also within the hunting range of the Holy Communion.

And it is their favorite and most desired food.

Fergus's expression became more serious than ever when he thought that the castle might have been infiltrated by people from the Holy Communion.

"Rhine, you should stop living in the militia dormitory for the time being and move to my place as soon as possible."

"Now that I am free from the witch's curse, I can recover to the Black Iron level in just a few days."

"I can't say that I can protect you with my strength like this, but when danger comes, I am still able to create a chance for you to escape."

"Not only in the castle, but also outside the castle you have to be very careful."

"Because zombies don't just eat one meal. Even the soul stealer appeared in the castle, which means that it may be too late for him to find suitable food outside. You should understand what this means."

"Damn Holy Communion, why are they suddenly targeting the Thorn Territory? Shouldn't they be hiding from the demon hunters and the church right now?"

Fergus's expression was very ugly, and his solemn tone was filled with deep fear.

Since a veteran Beyonder was so alert, Rhine instantly realized that the horror of this Holy Communion might be far beyond his imagination...
