This knight is too perfect

Chapter 42: Knighthood [Tomorrow’s Three Updates]

"Jem, I didn't expect that you would eventually fail to resist the temptation of the Scarlet Moon and embark on the doomed twisted and corrupt path of 'blood-eating'."

Inside the Thorn Cavalry, the elderly Baron Angelo looked at the tied-up Knight Commander Jem with disappointment in his eyes.

You know, besides being his knight commander, Jem is also Angelo's most promising junior.

The effort he put into him was no less than that of his nephew Garcia.

But these two juniors who were carefully cultivated by Angelo have now betrayed him.

This made Angelo sad and extremely angry.

why?
Why did these two people betray me?
Faced with Angelo's disappointment and anger, Jem simply gave up.

"A twisted path? Angelo, do you mean that I should be like you, stuck at the Bronze Rank for the rest of my life, and be so timid that I dare not even take a few steps beyond my territory?"

"Times have changed, my noble lord. Your old-fashioned ideas about chivalry are no longer suitable for today's era!"

"Blood food is never a twisted path. It is the path that can truly lead me to the highest heaven!"

Looking at the hysterical Jem, Angelo was not moved by him. Instead, he said sarcastically: "Times have changed? Jem, stop looking for excuses for your greed."

“Although the blood-eating ritual can quickly increase your extraordinary level, the huge price it implies is far beyond the imagination of a short-sighted person like you.”

"You don't think that the blood-eating ritual is known only to the Eucharist? You don't think that no one has ever tried this ritual before the Eucharist?"

"Jem, this world has many secrets, but blood food is not one of them."

As he said that, Angelo stood up and took out a knight's sword from the waist of the guard next to him.

Looking at Angelo walking towards him with a sword raised, Jem immediately understood what he wanted to do.

The instinct for survival made Jem struggle frantically.

But the mithril chain tied to him, which was specifically used against extraordinary people, not only completely sealed his extraordinary abilities, but also restricted his movements.

Being held down by two Thorn Knights, Jem could only watch as Angelo came up to him.

"Jem, be brave. At least don't show such an ugly face at this time. After all, you are a knight, a noble knight from the Thorn Territory who was personally canonized by me."

After saying that, Angelo didn't wait for Jem to respond and directly cut off his head with a sword.

After doing all this, Angelo wiped the blood off the sword and waved at Jem's body.

Seeing this, the Thorn Riders nearby immediately stepped forward to deal with Jem's body.

After Jem's headless body was carried away, Angelo turned to look at Rhine, who was standing next to him in a weak state.

He said with admiration: "My child, thanks to your courage and wisdom, I now know the intentions of the Holy Communion and Garcia's group of traitors."

"You and the other people in the castle are great. You are the heroes who saved the Thorn Territory."

"So, kid, can you tell me your name?"

"Rhine, Rhine Simons, respected Baron."

"Rhine Simmons..."

Angelo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took out a knight's emblem engraved with a "sword and shield" from his arms and gave it to Rhine.

"My child, from today on you are no longer a slave. You are a true knight protected by the laws of the Principality of Morton and guaranteed by a nobleman."

Rhine looked down at the Knight's Emblem handed to him by Angelo, his expression somewhat dazed.

Because this knight's emblem is not only a symbol of identity for him.

The emblem itself is also a rare and extraordinary item.

[Name: Knight's Emblem]

[Level: Black Iron]

[Effect: This item is used by knights to identify their identities. It has a special "soul essence" inside. Once activated, it cannot be imitated by any means.]

[Description: Knight symbolizes not only status, but also responsibility and honor. ]

"Wear it, kid, you deserve it."

As he spoke, Angelo looked up into the distance. He saw that the Thorn Riders who had charged into the Soul Stealers in the distance had now completely dealt with those inhuman monsters and were gathering here again.

Knowing that time was precious, Angelo gave up the magnificent carriage not far away without hesitation and chose to sit on the warhorse that originally belonged to Jem.

Although Angelo is no longer as tough and majestic as he was in his youth, he is still the founder and maintainer of the Thorn Cavalry.

He is like the flag of the entire cavalry regiment. As long as he stands there, he can bring endless courage to the cavalrymen around him.

After getting on the horse, Angelo looked down at Rhine beside him and said with a smile, "Kid, are you ready?"

Rhine nodded and got on a warhorse prepared for him by others.

See Rhine, the 'young knight' is also ready.

Angelo immediately took out the scepter sword from his waist, which symbolized "knight and nobility", and raised it high.

"Thorn Cavalry Regiment, charge! Drive those damn guys out of this territory completely!"

"Yes!"

In the early morning sunshine, the Thorn Cavalry Regiment led by Angelo began to advance at full speed towards the direction of the ancient castle...

Late at night, in the Territory of Thorns, in a valley near the small town of Xavier.

The valley was shrouded in dark clouds and it was drizzling at this time.

The rain dripped onto the mossy rocks in the valley, washing away the remaining bloodstains on them.

Not far from this rock, a large number of corpses were lying on the ground in the valley.

Among these corpses were soul stealers that looked like zombies, normal-looking cavalrymen, and some mysterious men wearing red robes and holding bloody daggers.

Jeter stood among the bodies, holding a Eucharist blood-eater by the throat with one hand and lifting him aloft.

At this time, not only Jet's upper body turned into a wolf.

There was an indescribable "wildness" in his eyes, which lacked the elegance he had in the castle.

Looking at the struggling 'prey' in front of him, Jet didn't bother to listen to what he said and simply strangled his neck.

Just after Jet killed this guy, there seemed to be movement again outside the valley in the distance.

Seeing this, Lilitha behind Jet spoke calmly.

"Ignore those guys, Jeter. They're just here to die."

Jett nodded, indicating that he had noticed this as well.

Because among those guys besieging them, few of them were strong enough.

Most of them are just low-level extraordinary people such as the Unentry Level and Black Iron Level.

Only the three bronze-level extraordinary people in the distance seemed to be normal.

But such strength is not enough to hurt Jet, who is at the silver level, and Lilitha, who has a special bloodline.

This is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

Looking at the large number of soul stealers preparing to rush into the valley again in the distance, Lilysa thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the blood eater from the Holy Communion has already made other plans, or maybe that is their real purpose."

"So the real danger right now may not be Baron Angelo, but those who remain in the town."

"Although I don't care about the lives of these people, I must abide by my promise to Mr. Rhine and try my best to ensure the safety of Mr. Fergus. Let's go back to the castle and see what those crazy guys are trying to do."

"As ordered."

PS: Sorry, I’m having a writer’s block today, so there’s only one update.

Fat Tiger will make up for the overdue update tomorrow.

By the way, Fat Tiger talked to the editor and if nothing goes wrong it should be on the shelves this Friday.

After the launch, Fat Tiger will try to update as much as possible. Even if it cannot reach 10,000 per day, it will try to reach 8,000 per day.
