The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Kara Yekage and Adelin have already been waiting here.

Zelin stopped the car and jumped out of the driver's seat: "How is the situation?"

"Tonight, no one left the fortress." Edlin said: "I'm afraid I really want to use him as a fortress. There are many soldiers there. Just standing here, you can see the parapet patrolling. Archer."

"Norek and the others should still be held inside." Kara said eagerly: "Here are some... souls, they are restless, full of fear and resentment, I can appease them to fight for us. You guys How is the situation?"

"From now on, Westmar’s Wizarding Club stronghold has disappeared, and we have captured a lot of spoils." Zelin stretched out his thumb and pointed to the carriage behind him: "But we can go back and talk about the specific process. It’s almost dawn. We'd better resolve this matter before dawn. Once dawn, I am worried that a conflict may injure nearby civilians."

"Let's go." Johanna took a deep breath, as if to face a large army alone, with a serious expression: "Come with me."

"Wait, don't we have any plans?" Adelin stretched out his arms and looked at Johanna in surprise: "For example, sneak in? Respond? Uh...or what floor plan or something? Be careful, Go forward and we will be discovered!"

"This is the plan, my friend." Johanna held the helmet. Although she didn't wear it, she still carried the flail in her other hand, the shield behind her back, and a small buckler fixed to her left wrist: "I will walk to the door of the Knights' stronghold, and in the name of Akarat, directly request to meet with the chief, and then we will understand what happened in the Knights Templar."

Chapter 2766: Johanna's Expedition

Johanna walked in the forefront, heading up into the open space in front of the Knights' stronghold.

The guarding knight immediately noticed the pedestrian.

"Here, outsiders are not welcome." The knight standing by the entrance slowly turned his head, under the heavy helmet, his eyes stared at the three people in front of him vigilantly. Zelin didn't let Adelin follow, but let him guard the carriage outside. The power of the Knights Templar may be very strong, there is no need to involve him: "Stop here!"

"In the name of Akarat, how can you stop another knight who follows the Holy Light?" Johanna took a step forward: "I am the Holy Order Army from the East, and I request a meeting with your large captain."

The two Templar guards glanced at each other.

Contrary to Zelin's expectation, the Templar guards did not stop Johanna, but ordered them to wait in place.

Soon, a Templar knight walked out of the stone arch and made a please gesture to Johanna.

"The chief is willing to meet you, but you and your companions must leave weapons." His voice is beyond doubt: "Unless the brothers of the Knights, no one has the right to enter here with weapons."

Johanna looked at Zelin with questioning eyes, and Zelin gave him an affirmative nod. Then she looked at Carla, who shrugged and said it didn't matter.

"We will abide by your regulations." Johanna regained her gaze: "I hope you can guarantee that my property and my companions will not be lost."

"We are knights, not thieves. It is shameful to suspect a knight's behavior, Holy Commander! You only have doubts in your mind." The Templar replied coldly. He put his head aside, and the guards on both sides left immediately. Step forward and collect the weapons.

Zelin took off the ebony blade that hung on his waist, and then untied the belt of the silver sword behind him, as well as the flying knives and daggers hung on the belt. Johanna handed the mace and shield to the guard in front of him, and then took off the round shield and a spare short sword from the wrist. Kara had very few equipment, only a one-handed sickle and an ivory dagger. The Templars who searched her didn't seem to believe that she only had these two pieces of equipment, so Kara opened her arms to indicate that she did not have any more weapons.

When Zelin handed the dagger to the guard in front of him, the latter still did not leave. The demon hunter raised his eyebrows, and the guard pointed at his wristband.

So he took off his gloves, the guard pursed his mouth, glanced at the wristband, looked at the gloves inlaid with silver nails and spikes, and took them over.

"Come here." The Templars made a gesture of invitation to them: "I am Hillmark, I will take you to see the captain, follow me, if the guard sees you appearing in places that shouldn't be there. Place, hum, they won’t show mercy to the invaders."

"I am a knight, not a thief. It is shameful to suspect a knight's behavior, Templar! There seems to be nothing left in your mind." Johanna relentlessly returned the same words to Silmark.

Silmarck's lips trembled slightly, and Zelin clenched his fists secretly, but in the end, Silmarck's throat moved and he turned and walked into the knights stronghold.

When he walked into the knights' stronghold alongside Johanna, Zelin tilted his head slightly: "I thought he would order an attack on us."

"He won't." Johanna's gaze kept scanning the surroundings: "In the name of Akarat, not now."

The tunnel behind the stone arch is narrow and the width can only allow two adults to pass side by side. The rock walls on both sides seem to be squeezed, and the height is only more than two meters. The rock seems to be pressed on the top of the head and will close with the wall at any time. The sound of iron boots on the ground echoed in the silent corridor, mixed with faint wailing and screaming.

Cara gritted her teeth, her low wailing sound as if urging her to step. She walked two steps faster, and had to slow down again to avoid hitting Hillmark in front of her. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, nails in her palms.

She made up her mind that if someone treated her friend with torture, she would make the souls of those people feel the same pain!

The tunnel was long and dull. After two left turns, the tunnel finally came to an end. The whip of the leather whip came from here. In the narrow secret room, there are seven circular cages erected. In each cage, there is a scrawny prisoner, wearing only simple shorts, and his body is covered with blood. They shrank in the cage in fear, holding their bodies in their arms, like a frightened mouse being forced to a dead end, with only fear in their eyes.

Cara swept across the prisoner, she was relieved in her heart, there was no sign of Norek here. But then she worried again, maybe, her friend has been transferred to other places. This is even more worrying.

Three judges stood between the cages. Their armor and long battle robes hung down to the ground, with black masks on their faces, and the outlines of the facial features were drawn with white lines on a pitch-black background.

"How can fighters who follow the teachings of Akarat imprison innocents and torture them?" Johanna did not give up any opportunity to attack the Templars: "Could it be that you are following another named Akarat? The man’s words? I remember that in Westermah, there was a time when devout believers were happy to add the name Akarat to their children’s names."

"They are criminal prisoners." Hillmark stopped, his eyes squinted and turned his head slightly, and looked at the Crusaders behind him: "We will give them a second life, by fighting for the future of mankind, repaying what he committed The sin. Before handing weapons and trust into their hands, the judge will ensure that there is no sin left in them, and become a member of the Knights with a pure soul."

"Then... Isn't it possible to say that if you are beaten with a whip, you won't commit another crime?"

"Their souls have been contaminated, and there is only one way to ensure that they will not commit crimes again, and that is to wash away all the memories of the past, just like a newborn, pure and innocent." Hillmark proudly explained to Johanna: " All criminals have been successfully transformed into truly great warriors, and completely bid farewell to the evil past. It is we who buried the most vicious criminals with our own hands, and new souls will be born on their bodies!"

"...This is not an atonement. You have turned human beings into an empty shell, a weapon without thought. This is by no means a human being, and it has nothing to do with justice!" Johanna glanced at the judge indifferently: "This is Desecration of Akarat!"

Without hearing the praise, Hillmark became furious: "This is the internal affairs of the Knights. You have no right to interfere, Holy Order! The Grand Commander does not have so much time wasting on you. If you are not trying to meet the Grand Commander, Then you should leave immediately and never come back!"

"Lead the way." Johanna snorted softly, "I'm here just for your big group leader. This is my expedition!"

Passing through the boot camp, behind it is a courtyard. The courtyard is small in size. There are many dummies in it. Four Templars are standing in it. They have no training. After Johanna and his party appeared, they just stood in the courtyard, staring at them indifferently, without a moment's eyes. Leave.

Walking through the courtyard and standing in front of the arch on the opposite side, Silmark stopped and turned around: "The chief is inside. He will meet you. This is a supreme honor for you. I don’t It is clear why he would waste his time to meet with a Crusader, but the leader must have his reasons. If you fail this glory, the Knights will make you understand the price of insulting the glory!"

"I understand what glory is, my friend." Johanna curled up her mouth softly: "But not everyone knows it."

Hillmark took a deep look at the Crusaders, then retracted his gaze, opened the stone gate of the auditorium, and stood aside to clear the way.

Johanna did not hesitate, strode into the auditorium, Kara followed her, and Zelin walked at the back. After Zelin stepped through the gate, Silmark immediately followed. He called on him, and the knights staying in the courtyard followed Silmark into the auditorium. The last two knights who walked into the auditorium pulled the stone gate, and the door panel closed behind everyone.

Damn--!

The sound fell, like an announcement, all the sounds in the auditorium ceased, Zelin and his party stopped, and the auditorium fell into an uncomfortable silence.

A sturdy man with a height of nearly two meters is located under the banner of the Knights in the auditorium, with his hands behind his back and his back to the visitor.

The silence lasted about ten seconds.

"I should welcome you, a friend who believes in the Holy Light. In this age of blasphemy, seeing a warrior with justice in heart is a joyous event worth celebrating." The leader's voice was low and full of magnetism, and he slowly turned Turning around, there seems to be a pair of sharp eyes in the darkness under the helmet. Everyone can feel his gaze: "Please forgive my subordinates for being rude. The Knights have too many enemies, and countless evil forces are right. Hiding in a dark corner, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble."

"I understand your concerns, Grand Captain." Johanna took a step forward and stared at the shadow under the Captain's helmet: "Unfortunately, in your Knight Order, I see the same darkness as hell. What your inquisitor did is exactly what the **** lord wants to see most-pain and torture, which are the nutrients of the devil and breed the gloom in people's hearts. Part of the behavior of the Knights has completely deviated from the teachings of Akarat , I hope you can announce immediately and investigate the corruption within the Knights."

"...No, the Crusaders, it is definitely not my knights." The leader's voice was full of confidence. He stretched out a finger and pointed at Qiao Hanna: "It's you, Nai Feitian! "

Chapter 2767: Faith is My Shield

A muffled thunder came from outside the heavy Shimen.

In the sealed chapel, the flames flickered.

Johanna raised her finger in disbelief and pointed to herself: "...Me?"

"That's right, it's you, Naifetian." The large group leader slowly retracted his hands and put his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked down at Johanna: "Your mixed blood, your origin, your origin, your In the past. In your body, there is half of the demon soul, and the nauseating black blood of the **** demon is flowing in your veins. No matter what you think you are or what you pretend to be, I can see it, in yours In the soul, there is a dark side, and this side will swallow your sanity at any time, turning you into a more terrifying demon!"

"I am a human being. I know my father and mother. They are also human. My grandparents and grandparents are also humans." Johanna said calmly: "Nafeitian is just an ancient legend. There is no Naphitian in the world. Humans can rely on their own efforts to fight against the demons, instead of pinning their hopes in meaningless legends. There will not be a hero every time, or Naphitian will save mankind as a person. The leader of the Knights, you still believe in the legend of Netflix, it will only make people feel funny."

"No, you're just an ignorant woman, Johanna. You don't know yourself, let alone human beings. The holy light you believe in is derived from the power of human beings." The head of the team smiled lowly: " The birth of mankind originated from the combination of demons and fallen angels. The birth of mankind itself is an original sin! Maybe the power is suppressed now, but after awakening, the demonic power in the human soul will inevitably prevail, and what I did All of this is to clear the darkness in the human body and ensure that no Nafeitian will become a stronger demon after awakening."
