Picked up the devil, but very traditional

Jiang Huixian had no choice but to leave him. Firstly, he had nowhere else to go, and secondly, he needed someone to take care of him in case the Administration intervened.

After repeated setbacks, he and Jiang Huixian felt helpless and even considered joining other forces.

It was at this time that they met a group of people.

The leader was a middle-aged man who was incredibly strong and easily defeated the two of them.

He thought he was going to die here, but Buddha and Jiang Huixian begged for mercy again and again, saying that they could serve him or something.

The other party ignored him and took the twelve relics of the Buddha in his hand. He didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he took out more infected objects, hoping that the other party would spare his life.

But the results were somewhat beyond their expectations.

The middle-aged man saw a yellow flame burning in his hand, roasting the twelve relics. The ghost faces on them began to howl and turned into thirty-six ghost Buddhas.

The thing Guanghui used to contaminate the relics was the thirty-six different kinds of strange spirits that died in different ways, which is from the famous hungry ghost chapter in Buddhism.

For example, those who have been employed by others in their previous lives to kill people, or those who have coveted other people’s deposited items, will receive this bad retribution after death.

The underground ghost, who had violated the law to gain wealth and framed others to get thrown in jail during his lifetime, received this retribution.

The needle-mouth ghost, those who hired people to kill animals during their lifetime, and those who deceived their husbands into being stingy and refusing to give alms, will receive this bad retribution after their death.

Each one is a ghost imagined by Buddhism. In addition, there are many Buddhists, so the strength of these ghosts and monsters manifested due to fear is not weak.

"After that, our strength increased greatly and we began to develop our influence. Occasionally, we would receive missions from those people, and they would also give us some very generous rewards!"

Hearing this, Gu En asked, "So your attack on the monastery is also a mission?"

"Yes." Jiang Huixian nodded and said, "We have been planning for a long time to weaken the power of the nuns in order to capture Eliza."

"This time the other party gave us more rewards than before, which made us very excited. In addition, the Ghost Buddha is immune to Holy Light, so we think it's a sure win."

She never expected that Gu En would be here, and it happened to be today.

Of course, it doesn’t really make any difference whether it’s a few days earlier or later. As long as Gu En comes here, he will find their traces and be able to track down the clues then.

Jiang Huixian didn't think about it and said quickly: "Don't kill me, I can take you to find them."

She had already guessed that Gu En's target was that group of people. As long as she seized the opportunity, she might have a chance to survive.

Gu En didn't answer her. He just put the person into the Demon Sealing Bottle and then took the Buddha out.

The same set of questions was used, and the information obtained was basically the same, but he did know a little more, such as the group of people who called themselves the sons of the devil.

And he also knew that the middle-aged man in the lead... was named Wu.

Combining this information, Gu En was certain that this group of people were the Wu family members who had a contract with the Lord of Dread.

As for what exactly they want to do and what their purpose is in capturing Eliza, we will know after the trip to the temple is over.

"Go back to sleep."

"Ok!"

Chapter 288: The Eight Virtues and Nine Rules of Knighthood

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. West Francia was not very cold at this time of year; instead, it felt like spring had arrived.

They didn't celebrate the Spring Festival, so this time was nothing special for them. Early in the morning, Gu En drove their car, taking Melu and Eliza towards the temple.

Along the way, Eliza also talked about some things about the temple.

The temple existed a long, long time ago. To put it bluntly, it stood when the country was still divided.

The exact time may only be known from their own records.

Moreover, the temple’s special nature also predates the administration by a long time.

It was probably twenty years before the establishment of the Global Authority, on the open day, when all religions came to pay homage.

Religious pilgrimage is an old tradition, but generally only ordinary believers come here. Those who are truly converted to religion will not come here, and secretly they will never recognize the temple as the orthodox one.

But that day, a nineteen-year-old believer came to the temple and looked no different from the other believers.

But at this moment, an old suit of armor on display in the temple hall glowed brightly, flew directly towards the boy, and forced him to swear the nine rules of the knight.

It was late at night and not many people saw this scene, but the old Pope immediately realized something and immediately sent away all irrelevant people and had a long conversation with the boy all night.

That night, the boy realized that he had become a Knight Templar and must abide by every rule he swore, otherwise he would lose his power.

In addition, there are eight virtues of chivalry: humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul.

The more virtues he fulfills, the greater his power.

Simply put, it’s mind power.

There is indeed an upper limit, but to this world, it is the same as if there is no upper limit.

Afterwards, the boy gave up his original idea of ​​joining the army to protect the country, and resolutely changed his path to become a real knight and protect everyone.

During those years, wherever there was something strange, you could see a man wearing silver armor and holding a cross sword.

No one knows what he looks like, but he has become a god believed in by many people.

The Temple also knows how to invest and helps the boy with all its strength, providing the greatest help both in dealing with weirdness and in reality.

Even the saint of that year married him.

Later, the reputation of the Knights Templar became completely well-known, and the annual open day of the temple was a day for public selection of knights.

However, not every year a new knight is born. There are a total of forty-nine sets of armor, but not that many people are recognized.

After all these years, some knights died, some broke their oaths, and in the end only twenty-four knights were left.

Fourteen fifth-level, ten sixth-level, and two who have awakened for the second time are considered the strongest force in Europe.

Hearing this, Melu asked, "Do those knights know how to perform combo skills?"

"Combo skills?"

"Well, it's the sword of modesty and prudence, the shield of honesty and trustworthiness, and the spear of bravery and futility."

"Uh... never heard of it."

"Oh, that's all right."

Melu explained to Guen in her mind, "These combination skills are the Templar Knights' strongest attacks, evolved from the eight virtues."

"At least seven people, and there is no upper limit. If more than a hundred people perform it, the power will be almost the same as super-level magic."

She is not afraid of this level of attack, but... disgusting.

The Templar's combos are not known for their power, but for forcing you to gain an extra virtue.

To use an analogy, the sword of humility and prudence, once it hits the target, the target will have to act in accordance with the character of humility and prudence for a long time.

The devil in hell has suffered these losses, and although they can be relieved after a period of time, for the devil, observing the eight virtues of a knight is almost the same as the fall of an angel.

Knowing that they wouldn't, Meilu was relieved.

She was afraid that her identity as a demon would be exposed, so she went in and was stabbed in the face by a sword.

Gu En, who was driving, suddenly asked, "Are these days open days?"

"No, the open house was in November and it's over."

"That's good."

Gu En was also afraid that there were too many people in the temple and it would be inconvenient for him to move around.

Although he was not interested in those things, what if there was something that Melu wanted in them? Hehe, he would inevitably become a thief.

Taking it openly would be a bit too conspicuous, so as not to cause trouble to the administration. They can't do anything anyway without evidence.

Eliza didn't understand and thought Gu En was regretting, so she said, "I can ask the Pope to open the sanctuary and let you go in and try. I think you can definitely put on a suit of armor."

"Maybe you can even wear the strongest golden armor."

"And the golden armor?"

"Yes!" Eliza nodded and said, "Since the Temple had knights, they have gradually taken back things that belonged to the Temple from other places."

"Golden armor is one of them, like the equipment of a hero, a stone tablet with magic engraved on it, and other things."

Gu En asked in his mind: "Teacher Meilu, is that golden armor a good thing?"

"It's garbage. It's just a captain-level knight's armor with some defensive magic on it. It's useless if you have angel armor."

Even the broken angel armor is hundreds of times better than those of the Knights Templar.

"Really? Why don't I feel how strong that armor is?"

This is true. Except for the time when Gu En first wore it on the Sanyuan Jiuyun Ship, he never wore it again after he came out. He threw it in the corner of the small room for Xiaobai to play with.

Because other than being sturdy, it's really useless.

"That's because you don't have divine power in your body. The effects of the Judgment Sword and armor cannot be activated, so they only have the most primitive effects."

"Mr. Meru, don't you usually wear armor?"

"Yes, I am in hell."

Armor, weapons and treasures are all absolute standard equipment for the strong.

The reason why the evil god cannot defeat the powerful demon king and god king is because they have powerful equipment.

The dead God-King was also killed in the state of a soul. Under normal circumstances, the Fate of the Void would definitely not be his opponent.

It is true that Melu's weapons and equipment were not on her. After all, she entered the Demon Sealing Bottle to be put in solitary confinement, not to go to the battlefield. What's the point of carrying those things?

As they talked, they had already arrived at the temple parking lot.

After all, this is the modern age, and if there is no parking lot, even the temple will receive a lot of complaints.

Eliza had already informed Pope Gu En in advance of his coming. He took it very seriously and had his men waiting in the temple early.

A magician who can kill a sixth-level monster in seconds, kill the evil god, and get off the Sanyuan Jiuyun ship, even God has to come to the door to meet him.

Following the Pope were several bishops and... the saint.

The meaning is very clear, this is how the Temple started. They no longer need to win over the knights, but they really need a super invincible magician.

The Temple's magical resource reserves are no worse than those of the Knights, but they have never been able to be utilized. This is why they have always wanted to win over Eliza.

Seeing three people getting out of the car, the Pope immediately led his men forward.
