This knight is too perfect

Chapter 43 Scarlet Feast
It was the fourth day after Rhine left the castle.

At this time, the town of Thorn has changed from its original prosperity to a ruin.

Everywhere there were hideous-looking soul stealers wandering among the ruins, looking for any possible prey.

Behind countless collapsed houses, broken doors and building walls, dried blood, mutilated limbs, and foul-smelling corpses can be seen everywhere, making it seem like hell on earth.

In the past few days, there have been people in the town who have tried to resist or escape.

But those who resisted had no power to fight back against the huge number of soul stealers.

Faced with the strange white fog that enveloped the entire town, the people who were escaping couldn't even find a way out.

Or maybe they go out, but strangely return to the same place again.

Therefore, the town of Thorn has now become a besieged city.

People outside the city cannot come in, and people inside the city cannot leave.

Faced with this situation, a large number of town residents trying to seek help came to the residence of the town sheriff Garcia.

I hope Garcia and his security team can get rid of the monsters that are wreaking havoc in the town, or take them away from the town.

But the result disappointed everyone.

It was because Garcia not only did not help them, but instead helped the monster speed up the massacre of the town's residents.

But what Garcia didn't expect was that he thought he would get the due reward for betraying the baron and giving up his position as sheriff.

But the actual result was beyond his expectations...

At this time, in Garcia's mansion.

"Diaz, this is different from what you agreed to, completely different!"

Garcia was tied to a mahogany dining table, looking at the castle's butler, Diaz, and the castle's head maid, Judith, with a horrified expression.

But what is strange is that Diaz, who should be above the head maid Judith, is now standing humbly behind her.

He is like a humble servant, respectfully serving his honorable master and preparing the dining ceremony carefully.

But it was different from the humility he showed towards Judith.

After hearing Garcia's noise at the table, Diaz frowned and scolded: "Shut up, Garcia, I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."

"If you could kill that old fellow Angelo, you wouldn't be on the table now, but would be enjoying this hard-earned feast with my master as the Baron of Thorns."

"As a loser, you are still able to appear here in the form of Holy Communion. This is the greatest mercy my master has shown you."

"So, be thankful, Garcia. Be thankful that your master can put aside past grudges and eat such an unpalatable you."

As he spoke, Diaz walked forward and placed a strange red flower on Garcia's bare chest.

After the red flower touched Garcia's skin, its roots began to penetrate deeper into Garcia's body.

It seemed to be using Garcia's body as nourishment to madly grow stronger.

The strange thing is that Garcia not only did not feel any pain during the process, but a strange "pleasure" appeared on his face, and he soon calmed down.

Without the interruption of the "food", Judith, who had been silent until now, finally spoke slowly. "Diaz, although the feast you arranged for the Scarlet Mother is a bit monotonous, but with the Scarlet Mother's love for life, I think He will not be stingy in rewarding you."

"You will soon get what you want, be promoted to a silver-level Death Speaker, and explore the wonderful world you have never seen before."

When Diaz heard Judith's words, ecstasy immediately appeared on his face.

He knelt on the ground and kissed Judith's high heels humbly.

He said excitedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Messenger. I, the humble Diaz, will be loyal to the Holy Communion with all my heart and do my best to prepare a bigger feast."

Diaz thought his words would make Judith happy, but the result was the exact opposite.

After hearing this, Judith stepped on Diaz's head and pressed him heavily on the carpet under her feet.

Looking at Diaz, who was as humble as a wild dog, Judith said sarcastically, "Loyal to the Holy Communion? Diaz, when did you think that a mere 'restaurant' could control the distinguished guests who came to dine here?"

“We gather together not because we can only gather here, but because this place happens to have the food we want.”

"So the person you have to swear allegiance to is only me, the one who taught you how to please the Scarlet Mother and how to host this banquet. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, Judith twisted her ankle vigorously, which was a great humiliation to Diaz.

However, facing Judith's humiliation, Diaz was not angry at all, but became more excited...

Seeing this scene, Judith suddenly felt as if she had done something unnecessary.

So he kicked Diaz away and said in a cold tone: "Go and make your preparations, you lowly fellow."

"The Death Speaker is a silver-level path to the main life and the secondary soul. It is an existence that can contact and bear the souls of the dead."

"And if you want to advance from a 'zombie' to a 'death speaker', you must accumulate enough 'life essence' and 'complex soul'."

“Joy, anger, despair, greed… these common souls are never hard to find, but pure and kind souls are always rare and precious.”

"So be patient, Diaz, because in desperate situations like this, those with kind souls will become more noticeable."

"And only you who have obtained such a soul are qualified to complete the final ritual and advance to the 'Deathrattle'."

"I will watch you and look forward to your success, because only in this way can I prove to those bitches in the Witch Society that their decision to refuse to accept me because of their so-called gender is both the biggest mistake they have ever made and their biggest loss."

"Okay, go away, I want to eat alone."

Hearing this, Diaz, who had just been kicked away by Judith, wiped the blood from his forehead, stood up and said respectfully: "As you command, Your Excellency the Envoy."

Diaz left the room and closed the door. Soon he heard the sounds of "dining" coming from inside from time to time.

While guarding the 'restaurant', Diaz looked out the window at the Thorn Town which had turned into a hell on earth.

Slowly, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the castle.

But in Diaz's eyes, Fergus, as a knight, was leading the few castle militiamen to resist the endless attacks from the soul stealers.

Looking at Fergus who was fighting hard, Diaz's eyes became extremely excited.

"A kind soul? I think... I have found it."
