Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

The hotel directly booked the next floor.

Emilia sat in the living room reading a book, while the guards still stood there without saying a word.

"Aren't you curious about why I want to canonize Jia Xiu?"

"Your Highness has his own reasons."

The guard is indeed a qualified guard.

"He was a refugee who suddenly appeared in Riverwood. At first, he couldn't even speak the Common Language and showed no spellcasting ability. But within a year, he was submitting patents to the association."

Emilia had checked out Jaxu's background early on. She just looked like a silly golden retriever, but she was actually a very standard member of the royal family.

"A genius should have a legal identity. This person cannot run away to other countries, and it's best not to run away to my other brothers and sisters."

"So you canonized him, so that he is legally an absolute member of the Fleur-de-Iris family."

"Yes, have you figured out his master?"

This is also what Emilia has always been curious about. For such a talented sorcerer, the leader must not be an ordinary character.

"No." The guard replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"No? Can you tell the race?"

"No, I can't sense any demon or goblin aura from him. Perhaps his leader comes from a more unique and rare race, or perhaps..."

"His leader is so powerful that he has completely blocked your prying eyes."

Emilia added what the guard left unsaid.

"Hmm...never mind. Where's that undead spirit in the cave?"

"He's about to wake up."

"Can it be solved?"

She is still here because of this incident.

"Very powerful. If we use the Primordial Crystal, we can surely destroy it."

"so smart?"

Emilia thought for a moment, "Let's not rush into it. Let's see what Jia Xiu will do. Maybe his mysterious leader will take action."

"What about Hayes? He looks like he's going to do something bad to Jia Xiu."

"Don't worry about Hans. If I can't even deal with that loser Jia Xiu, then I've conferred the title on him in vain..."

Chapter 15: Jia Xiuhan's Second Battle

Ximu Town, Lord's Mansion.

Hays was in the room, excitedly writing a letter.

He had completely lost his mind, and the only thing on his mind was to make sure Jia Xiu was punished.

Such extremism is actually inseparable from his identity and upbringing.

He was not the eldest son in the family and had no inheritance rights. He would not have the title of baron nor the territory of Ximu Town, which all belonged to his brother.

As the second son, his best future was to become a knight and then obtain a fiefdom based on his military achievements.

Or if one has made achievements in the path of magic, an excellent spellcaster, his status is no lower than that of a noble. If he can become a legend, even the duke will have to give him some respect.

But it was obvious that he didn't have the talent for it.

The only remaining option is to be an ordinary noble who is supported by his family all his life, has no achievements, and leaves no name behind.

Or he could be sent as a bargaining chip in an alliance, but considering his reputation and his father's baron title, an alliance would not be a good option.

Or they would be sent to the Vatican and become the family's contact person in the Vatican, dedicating their lives to the distant and ethereal gods.

Of course, these solutions are what countless ordinary people dream of but cannot obtain.

But for Hays, it is a hopeless future.

The disparity and rejection between his dreams, personal abilities and reality made him an inferior person who refused to admit his inferiority.

So he longs for anything that can prove himself.

Even cheating is okay.

But when he was unable to defeat Jia Xiu even by cheating, and was even defeated in an extremely humiliating way, he immediately regarded Jia Xiu as the biggest enemy in his life.

Unilateral.

Jia Xiu didn't take him seriously. The only thing he was worried about was that it would be difficult for him to survive in Ximu Town in the future, but this fear disappeared after Margaret appeared.

When this great enemy in life got ahead of him and was knighted, it was even Her Highness Emilia who knighted him personally.

Jealousy and hatred consumed Hays.

If he can't deal with Jia Xiu, his life will not be able to go on.

So he chose to summon the Holy See's Punishment Knights.

The Knights of Punishment are a violent organization affiliated with the Holy See. They are known for their strength, ruthlessness, and absolute justice. Even if their target is a noble appointed by the royal family, they will be merciless.

Summoning them is also simple.

A legitimate reason, a soul willing to sacrifice.

The legitimate reason is that when the Punishment Knights are dispatched, they must target cults or those who disrespect the Holy Light.

As for the souls that are willing to dedicate themselves, those who summon the Knight of Punishment must then have complete faith in the Holy Light and dedicate their entire lives to it through asceticism.

Hays wasn't quite sure what penance entailed.

In his opinion, it was almost the same as being sent by his family to the Vatican as a liaison.

The letter requesting the arrival of the Knight of Punishment had been written. Hans put it in an envelope and burned it under the statue representing the Holy Light.

He had never recited a prayer so seriously before, and soon, an amulet wrapped in holy light appeared in front of the statue. This was the response from the Holy See.

Next, he just needs to find solid evidence that Jia Xiu is a cultist, and then use the amulet to summon the Knight of Punishment.

As for how to find evidence, he decided to use the most basic and most effective method, which was to squat near the cave.

In Hannas's opinion, Jia Xiu would definitely pray to the evil god secretly in the dead of night, and he would definitely be contaminated by the evil god's aura at that time.

Oh, he couldn't wait to see Jia Xiu being beheaded and burned.

No, that's not right. If possible, he would personally accomplish the "feat" of killing Jia Xiu.

Hannas was still as conflicted as ever. He clearly wanted to defeat Jia Xiu by himself, but without the support of the knights of the Holy See, he did not dare to challenge Jia Xiu in a duel.

Before setting off for the cult cave, Hans began to prepare for the "decisive battle".

New potions, new magic items.

In order to deal with Jia Shu's uncanny healing technique, he commissioned the Alchemist Association to create a potion specifically designed to resist healing.

When I submitted the request, the staff repeatedly confirmed whether it was really such a strange request...

After packing up all his belongings, Hannas slipped out of the lord's mansion and disappeared into the night.

……

Jia Xiu happened to be in the cave tonight.

To be honest, it was a bit creepy to be alone at a cult altar late at night, with the surroundings decorated like a haunted house.

But he did not come to pray to the god of deception and curse.

In fact, he never prayed to this evil god once.

After all, he was going to harvest his believers, and he was praying to the evil god himself. What if he was noticed?

Jia Xiu was communicating with the half-awakened Bubu through the rituals in the "Common Knowledge of the Dead" and enumerating its last wishes.

Most of the faith generated by tourists through the altar was also intercepted by this goblin undead.

"Revenge on that instructor?"

No reaction, that's right, the instructor in the nursery rhyme has already been retaliated against.

"To make the people of Riverwood apologize?"

There was no reaction, and it seemed that the resentment towards Ximu Town was not that great.

"It can't be reincarnation, right?"

Still no response. Fortunately, he couldn't fulfill this wish. The resurrection spell was a bit high-level. Even if Jia Xiu was confident that he could keep upgrading it, he would have to wait for a few years before he could use it. What if Bubu died of old age, the resurrection spell would not work.

……

After some testing.

Jia Xiu was a little tired from running the ritual.

Suddenly, there was a fierce reaction from the other end.

Jia Xiu was shocked. He found the wish that Bubu had always wanted to realize.

Finding nature is good, but this wish...

Jia Xiu really didn't expect it to be this at the beginning.

But now that the mission was completed, tonight's overtime was over, and he had no intention of sleeping in this eerie and terrifying cave with a bunch of genuine cultists.

Pack up your things and leave, take the book with you, you will have to return it later.

As soon as I walked out of the cave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Dark vision activated, and it turned out to be Hayes.

Jia Xiu was a little surprised by Hays's sudden appearance, but not much.

I just didn't expect that he would end up in such a state.

Hayes' eyes were red, veins bulged, and his face was extremely ferocious due to anger.

Compared to Jia Xiu, he looked like a cultist who had gone crazy.

At this time, Hannas shouted excitedly: "I have summoned the Knights of Punishment of the Holy See. They will be here soon. I want to duel with you again!"
