Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 17 Ah! Why is Jia Xiu so bad?
Ahhhhhhhhhh! Who understands! The feeling of redemption when seeing the Retribution Paladin teleport down.

At this time, six fully armed knights wearing white armor inlaid with gold, with spiked hammers in their right hands and metal-encapsulated scriptures in their left hands, appeared in the teleporting light.

Judging from the heaviness of the book, it is hard to tell whether it is a weapon or a magic tool.

If you swing it and hit someone, the damage should be no less than that of a hammer.

"Arrived at target location, search for cultists and summoners commenced."

The leading knight said in a low voice.

This has always been the rule of the Holy See of Light. Although it is the responsibility of the Holy See to eliminate cultists, the Holy See has its own arrangements.

If we use too much force and wipe out all the cultists, what will be the point of the Inquisition and the Paladins of Punishment?

Therefore, for this kind of "overtime" activity that disrupts the original arrangement and urgently summons the Punishment Paladin, the summoner must pay the corresponding price.

For example, becoming an ascetic believer, providing endless faith to the Holy Light throughout one's life.

"Captain, there's no need to search."

Another knight pointed ahead and said.

Not far away, you can see a man holding a knife, chasing a young man who is fleeing in panic.

"The one being hunted is the cultist, and the one running away is the summoner?" asked the captain.

"Forehead……"

The deputy hesitated.

"The one being pursued is the summoner. He also looks like a cultist. He was the one who burned the letter. As for the one who escaped, he seems to be a passerby."

"Ok?"

The captain was puzzled.

"You mean to say that a cultist summoned us as a summoner to cleanse the cultists."

The captain pondered for a moment, "Is he sick?"

In front, Hannas, who had gone completely crazy, staggered, waving a knife, and chased Jia Xiu with difficulty.

Already on the verge of losing his mind, and after being baptized by Jia Xiu's nightmare, Hannah's poor spirit completely collapsed.

He only vaguely remembered that he hated someone and had to kill him.

However, he could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality.

In his eyes, the fleeing Jia Xiu gradually overlapped with the equestrian coach in his dream.

With both old and new grievances piled up, Hannah screamed in despair, "You ruined my life!"

Because he was unconscious and confused, he walked too fast and tripped himself.

A team of knights saw it.

The deputy couldn't help but sigh: "He might really be sick."

The captain was silent.

I feel like I lost out on this trip for their team.

It's the middle of the night, why not do something else? Come out and catch such a useless cultist, and you can't even bring back any new ascetics.

He sighed helplessly, "Anyway, let's catch him first."

This team of Punishment Knights is indeed the elite of the Holy See. As for why they are elite, it is all because of Hannas' letter. In the letter, Jia Xiu was portrayed as a terrifying demon who wanted to destroy Ximu Town.

After the captain gave the order, the knight at the end of the team flashed in front of Hannas at a speed as fast as teleportation and hit each of his limbs with a hammer.

Poor Hays could only squirm now.

Punishment Paladins never show mercy to cultists.

Then, Hayes was picked up from the ground. Even though he had lost his ability to move, his madness did not diminish in the slightest.

He felt no pain at all now.

Adrenaline, it's amazing.

The other members of the team also came over at this time to make further judgment on whether Hannas was a cultist.

This is also the usual style of the Punishment Paladin.

As long as there is suspicion, beat first, then try.

If unfortunately a beating is made by mistake, it can be cured. The person who was beaten usually does not have the courage and ability to hold the court accountable.

If the cultists escaped due to the lack of immediate attack, it would be completely intolerable for the Inquisition.

"Vicious, violent, extremely aggressive, with partial or complete loss of pain perception, consistent with the characteristics of a cult follower."

"The weapon is an obsidian knife, a ritual implement used by the evil god of deception and curse."

"There are many blood runes painted on his body..."

"It is absolutely certain that this person is a fanatic believer in the evil god of fraud and curse, and is preparing for a ritual."

While his deputy was making his judgment, Hannas, who was the only one who could use his brain, was also busy.

He recognized these people as being from the Vatican. The Vatican? Clerks?
Voluntary gift!

When the punishing knight before your eyes overlaps with the priest in your dream, the target of your hatred shifts.

"Damn priest! I'll kill you!"

The Knight Squad's deputy was shocked.

"So that's why he summoned us? He wants to hunt the Knights!"

There have indeed been cases in history where powerful cults have deliberately summoned Punishment Knights to complete the hunt.

The deputy was furious. "This is no longer an ordinary cultist. We must strike hard!"

Just as he was about to execute Hays.

"and many more!"

The captain suddenly spoke up to stop them.

"Where's that passerby?"

He felt something was wrong from the beginning, and everything was weird.

So he decided to interrogate Jia Xiu.

"your name."

"Jia...Jia Xiu." Jia Xiu answered in a trembling voice.

Although he was not a cultist, he had indeed helped the evil god collect faith, which was something that the Punishment Knight must never know.

"Jia Xiu?"

The captain immediately realized that this was the evil cult leader described in Hannah's letter.

A whole new version of the story appeared in his mind.

Jia Xiu was indeed a cultist. It was he who recruited Hanas into the cult. Hanas was unable to leave and tried to die with Jia Xiu.

But this Jia Xiu did not have any aura of having performed any cult rituals. He had been scored first, and Jia Xiu did not run away, so the captain chose to ask first.

"Is there any conflict between you?"

"Maybe," Jia Xiu said aggrievedly, "Maybe it's because I cured him before. It was only a basic healing technique, but it caused him great pain."

The captain looked at another team member, who replied, "It's the truth."

As an elite team, they are naturally equipped with lie detection systems.

I received the primary healing technique, but it was painful.

The captain was shocked. This was a characteristic of people who had completely devoted themselves to the evil god. Only people like that would be unable to accept the most glorious and holy healing technique.

The deputy then checked and said, "He actually took some kind of potion that made him resistant to healing!"

Identity confirmed!

The captain then asked, "Then why are you out in the wild so late at night?"

"I want him to enter my dream," Jia Xiu took out the dream amulet given by the priest. "I heard that the dreams of the Holy See of Light can help people find their true selves, so I asked the priest for help. He gave me the amulet and said that it would help me find my old friends."

The captain turned around.

"That's true too."

Deputy inspection.

"I just had a dream."

The captain was shocked, and a whole new version of the story emerged in his mind.

A young man just wanted to help his friend, so he tried every method, including healing and entering dreams. However, his friend, who had already completely devoted himself to the cult, not only did not accept his kindness, but also wanted to use him as a sacrifice.

What a pitiful and kind young man.

And I, as the blade of the Holy See of Light, a knight of punishment who executes justice in the name of Holy Light, actually questioned and interrogated such a good young man.

Oh--

Damn me.

The captain now doesn't dare to look at the pitiful Jia Xiu.

Meanwhile, Jia Xiu was still adding to the drama, "Are you the Knight of the Holy See? Can my friend be saved? The Holy Light will surely save my friend, right?"

"cough……"

The captain looked embarrassed and couldn't bring himself to say, "Your friend will be executed."

He quickly gave his deputy a look, indicating that he should be the bad guy.

The deputy was angry but dared not speak out, and was asked to handle all the troubles. While he was organizing his words, he suddenly had an idea.

"I have an idea!"
