'Strength increased by nearly 20%, the surface of the skin became tighter, the ability to resist blows increased, the speed also increased slightly, and the recovery ability after injury should also be strengthened to a certain extent. '
Karl clenched his five fingers and silently felt the changes in himself.
'In addition...'
'The negative emotions such as caution, fear, and worry in my heart were weakened, and I became more courageous. '
All kinds of changes happened in an instant.
So strong!
Is this a divine art?
Although it cannot directly cause damage to the enemy, it can greatly improve the combat power and fighting spirit of one's own side.
And it is not a one-on-one, but a large-scale blessing.
If it is used on the battlefield... then turning the situation around is easy!
Although Karl was surprised by the means used by the priest, he was not surprised.
How could the Holy Church have power beyond the secular world in this world with extraordinary power just because of that illusory faith?
Without powerful power, it is impossible.
"Go!"
With the priest's big hand wave, two iron lumps rushed out of the crowd and hit the wall in front.
"Boom!"
The high wall made of bricks and stones was like a pile of tofu in front of them, vulnerable to a single blow.
Instantly, two large holes in the shape of human figures appeared in the wall.
Knights!
And they were fully armed knights.
The power of a formal knight could crush a ferocious beast. The weapons in their hands alone weighed dozens of kilograms. In the wild, a knight could slaughter an entire wolf pack by himself.
The heavy armor on his body could even ignore ordinary attacks.
The two rushed into the manor and started a one-sided massacre in the blazing fire, leaving corpses everywhere.
When Karl followed the crowd in, the fight was almost over, blood was flowing on the ground, and no one was alive.
'Killing the elderly and children too? '
The corpses on the ground made Karl's heart sink, and he had a better understanding of the cruel methods of the Church.
"Don't stay there."
Dinah patted his shoulder.
"Go to the next place."
"Yes."
Karl came back to his senses and nodded.
He didn't know if the power of the Church is too strong, today's actions seem a bit anticlimactic to him.
Except for some resistance at a suburban manor, other places were almost swept away by the plow, and there was almost no decent obstruction.
It was over by the evening.
…
After suppressing the fatigue of a day's running, Dinah straightened her clothes and came to the hall under the guidance of others.
This is the parliament hall.
The three most senior people in Sino City are the bishop, the mayor, and the elder of the noble council.
The elder is in poor health and has not held meetings for several years. Most of the matters are handled by the speaker Frank.
He is an elder and viscount with noble character, and is deeply respected by the nobles.
"I didn't expect that the followers of the evil god Iris would lurk in the city. Fortunately, you discovered them in time."
Seeing Dinah coming in, Frank waved his hand to let the others leave, and praised.
"Viscount Sassoon is proud to have a daughter like you."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your compliment." Dinah put one hand on her left chest, bowed and saluted, and asked: "Do you have any clues about what happened last night?"
"Hmm..." Frank pondered.
"According to the investigation, it should be the fire thief who killed the evil god followers, leaving obvious traces of fire in the field."
"Fire thief?"
Dinah frowned subconsciously.
"Yes."
Frank nodded: "Before you investigated the mummy case, Iris's followers deliberately led you to a fire thief base, which led to the destruction of the base. I think this should be the revenge of the fire thief."
"As evil god followers, they don't get along with each other."
Dinah nodded slowly.
This makes sense, but since it was the fire thief who did it, why didn't he kill her?
And he also helped her untie the spider silk.
She was the culprit who destroyed the fire thieves' stronghold.
"Mr. Speaker."
Dinah said: "According to our investigation, in addition to the people who were killed yesterday, there should be a mastermind behind them."
"This person has a certain social status and often goes to high-end places. He is the one who chooses the targets."
She continued: "Today's operation should not have caught him."
"Really?" Frank touched his chin and nodded.
"I understand. Someone will continue to investigate this matter. Now let's talk about you."
"In view of your performance in line with the knight's principles of guarding justice and protecting the weak, and your courage without fear of death, the parliament has decided to reward you with a life potion."
He took out a bottle of potion from the drawer and handed it over.
"Congratulations!"
"I hope you can truly join the ranks of knights. The Kingdom and its people need people like you to protect them."
Life potion!
Dinah's heart was pounding, and her hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably. She took the potion carefully, and for a moment even the doubts in the case were forgotten.
"Mr. Speaker, I... I will definitely do it."
"Yes."
Frank smiled and nodded: "Go down, take good care of your body during this period and prepare for taking the potion. I am looking forward to the day when you become a knight."
"Yes."
Dinah nodded heavily.
….
Watching Dinah walk out of the hall, the smile on Frank's face slowly faded, and finally turned livid.
He turned around and walked into the side hall.
There were people waiting here.
"You gave our enemies the life potion." Seeing him come in, the person waiting in the hall said in a muffled voice: "This may become a weapon to kill us."
"Humph!"
Frank snorted coldly: "The approval and issuance of the life potion is not up to me alone, and if you did it more covertly, it wouldn't have come to this."
"Hidden?" The other party showed disdain: "Taking the lives of others will make the Mother Goddess happy, but it is not us who need the purity potion, but you."
"The blood of virgins can maintain youth and immortality. The ladies in the city are eager for us to kill more people. They can pay any price for their faces."
If Dinah heard the conversation between the two, she would definitely be shocked.
The respected Speaker Frank actually colluded secretly with the believers of the evil god, and even when he knew clearly what they were doing, he did not stop them but chose to let it go.
"Forget it."
Waving his hand, the bald man with tattoos said in a muffled voice: "I want to know who killed Jeff!"
"There are no clues at the moment." Frank spread his hands: "Are you sure it wasn't the fire thief?"
"Of course."
The bald man narrowed his eyes.
"I'm very familiar with them, and if they really did it, there's no reason to let the girl go."
"Maybe..."
He looked at Frank and said slowly: "Is it a wizard?"
"Wizard?" Frank's face changed, as if he was very afraid of this word, and shook his head subconsciously.
"Even the Holy Church can't restrain them. Don't expect me to investigate. This is a group of heretics."
"I know." The bald man asked: "But you should have some understanding of which wizard apprentices there are in Sino City?"
"...Yes." Frank hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I do know something, but it seems that no one has the ability to release fire."
"They usually hide their methods." The bald man was also very distressed about wizards. He shook his head and changed the subject.
"The defeat at the front is certain, and you should make a decision."
Frank's face darkened.
The Grand Duke of Saxony who was fighting against Cobourg died a few weeks ago, and the front collapsed. The hostile forces are advancing rapidly towards the Kingdom of Gondor. This is the latest news from the front, and it has not yet been announced to the public.
"Sino City is not the front line."
Frank said: "We may not lose either."
"Ha..." The bald man sneered: "You'd better pray that this is the case."
