This knight is too perfect

Chapter 24 The Master of the Heart
Perhaps he was worried that Rhine didn't understand what the word "holy communion" meant and would let down his guard.

Fergus emphasized again in a serious tone.

"Rhine, you must remember what I just said. Don't underestimate the guys in the Holy Communion just because you have entered the Extraordinary stage."

“You should know that according to what I know, let alone the Beyonders of the Black Iron Rank, even the Bronze and Silver Ranks above the Black Iron Rank, as long as the people of the Holy Communion are willing, these people are nothing more than delicacies that they can put on the table at will.”

"The extraordinary world is dangerous, and the Holy Communion that advocates 'blood food' is even more dangerous, so Rhine, you must not be careless."

Facing Fergus' earnest words, Rhine nodded seriously, indicating that he understood the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing this, Fergus patted Rhine on the shoulder and said, "Well, I believe you are not the arrogant type."

After saying this, Fergus immediately took the three bodies of soul stealers on the ground.

I also took the opportunity to teach Rhine some "common sense" about the extraordinary world.

He pointed at the headless body of the Soul Stealer that Rhine had killed first, and commented in detail: "Your sword strike was very good, clean and neat."

"You know, when dealing with extraordinary monsters like soul stealers, ghouls, and blood slaves, beheading is always the safest and most efficient way to kill them."

"Because these monsters are essentially a group of ordinary people who have been contaminated by the 'Source Poison'."

"Although they have some inhuman characteristics due to various reasons."

"But in terms of their body structure, they are still similar to ordinary people, so using beheading to deal with them is definitely a very safe method."

"But besides beheading, there are actually many better and safer ways to deal with these guys..."

As Fergus spoke, he walked to a wooden box next to the training ground and took out an "oil can" from it.

Seeing this scene, Rhine instantly understood what the other methods Fergus was talking about.

Fergus was seen using a flint to light the fuse on the oil tank, and then throwing it with great skill.

The oil tank drew a beautiful parabola in the air and hit the headless soul stealer's body accurately.

Soon, the soul stealer's body was covered in flames, and a strange meaty smell filled the air.

In the firelight, Fergus looked at his masterpiece with a smug look on his face.

"See, Rhine, there's actually nothing to be afraid of this extraordinary monster."

"Because as long as you master the method, even ordinary people can deal with these extraordinary monsters that are not of the first rank."

"Beheading is certainly a good way to deal with these guys, but letting them get close is not a good thing in the first place, so using close combat to deal with them is always the worst option."

Having said that, Fergus immediately tapped his head with his finger.

"Wisdom. Compared to these monsters, our greatest advantage is wisdom."

"Make good use of everything around you and be as prepared as possible for the upcoming dangers."

"As long as we can do these two things, even without relying on extraordinary powers, we will still be able to kill these guys contaminated by the 'Source Poison'."

"Rhine, I'm not bragging, but back then, I was..."

But before Fergus could finish, Rhine interrupted him and said, "Master Fergus, please don't talk about the past. Are you sure that if the fire is not put out... it will be okay?"

Fergus's face froze, and then he noticed the fire next to him that was growing more and more intense, so intense that... it had begun to spread to the side.

"Oh my god! Rhine, come on, help me put out the fire!"

after an hour……

Rhine and Fergus finally put out the fire, and sat together in the open space beside the training ground, covered in dust.

The two first glanced at the charred grass field not far away, and then looked at each other's embarrassed and funny appearance.

They couldn't help laughing for a moment.

After laughing, Fergus didn't know what he was thinking about, and couldn't help but sighed: "Rhine, what I have experienced in these years is the punishment given to me by the Lord because he saw the mistakes I made back then."

Faced with Fergus's slightly 'philosophical' question.

After thinking for a moment, Rhine gave an answer based on his current knowledge that was consistent with his existing understanding.

"Lord Fergus, I think that may not be the punishment from the Lord, but the punishment from the Lord in your heart."

"Because from my own shallow perspective, if the Lord really exists, then I think He should have responded to the prayers of believers."

"But when most believers discovered that the Lord who responded to them was completely different from the Lord they had imagined in their hearts, they subconsciously chose to ignore this fact and completely closed themselves off into the false faith they had constructed, unable to extricate themselves."

"After all, the real God is far away and untouchable, but the God in people's hearts is close at hand and 'real'. Compared to the former, people seem to be more willing to believe in the latter."

"Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why you and Pastor Lark both believe in the Holy Light and are both Beyonders of the Church, but your actions and thoughts are so different."

"You seem to believe in the same Lord, but the Lord in your hearts, or the Lord in your respective perceptions, is actually completely different."

“Therefore, I have always believed that true piety should not only be respect in words, but also in actions.”

"After all, actions always speak louder than words, don't they?"

Having said this, Rhine suddenly stood up and his expression became extremely serious.

"Lord Fergus, my answer may not be correct, because it is only a subjective answer given by me based on my limited knowledge at present."

"But even so, I am still willing to believe in the existence of the Lord, and I always think that the 'equality' He advocates should definitely not be 'limited equality'."

"I believe this as much as I believe you are a good person who deserves to be saved."

Fergus stared at Rhine at this moment, his expression became a little dazed for a moment.

Then he seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked up at the sky above the training ground, and said with emotion: "Rhine, you are right. Maybe it was not the Lord's Holy Light that abandoned me, but I abandoned the Holy Light in my heart."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. After all, I am no longer the Holy Light Knight of the church."

"Besides, who says that I can't continue to practice the will of Holy Light without the essence of Holy Light?"

"The world needs holy light, but this holy light... no one says it can only come from the Church of Holy Light."

After he finished speaking, Fergus stood up and dusted himself off.

"Let's go, Rhine. We don't have time to discuss these profound issues right now."

"After all, our top priority right now should be to find out the origins of those soul stealers and find the zombie path extraordinary person who is suspected to be hiding in the castle."

"But this process is bound to be dangerous. Therefore, before that, I need to get you, me, a weapon that is suitable for you. A weapon that can fully exert the strength of extraordinary people like you and me."

"It's not easy to accomplish this, but luckily I know someone who can do it, and this person happens to be in the castle."

"So, follow me, Rhine. It's time to take you to see the real extraordinary world and see how extraordinary people trade with each other."

"Yes, Master Fergus."

Soon, Rhine, led by Fergus, walked towards somewhere inside the castle.

And that location is also one of the core areas of the castle that Rhine has not been able to get close to since he arrived at the castle.

A blacksmith shop in an ancient castle...
