"Lord Linus, is the great knight dead?"
The old duke's expression was somewhat solemn.
"I'm afraid so. I can no longer sense his faith. Even this holy emblem has been destroyed. I'm afraid even his soul is gone..."
The high priest sighed as he looked at the broken holy emblem in his hand.
"Who did it? Is it related to the vision in Boulder just now?"
The old duke became more serious and frowned slightly.
The high priest was silent for a few seconds and shook his head slightly:
"I have no idea… "
"However, the protective emblem that Erde wears is specially made by the Theocracy, and it can resist even the power of legend for a moment... It is impossible for ordinary people to destroy his soul."
"unless… "
The high priest did not continue speaking.
But thinking of the various strange phenomena in the sky of Boulder City just now, the Duke of Boulder soon fell silent.
His expression was uncertain, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
"The person has already run away, and he ran quite fast. Let's see if we can find any traces. I seem to smell the rotten stench of the dead."
The high priest said.
After saying this, he prayed silently, and a holy light shone on him.
The high priest gently stretched out his hand and sprinkled light on the ground. As the photons fell to the ground, wisps of black breath rose from the soil.
"The power of the undead?"
The old duke was a little surprised.
As a well-informed Blazing Sun Knight, he was no stranger to this kind of power.
Although the Holy Royal Court has always emphasized the need for faith, there are still a considerable number of extraordinary people and ordinary people who believe in gods in name but are actually non-believers.
It is impossible for the Holy Royal Court to check every single one of them, so there are many similar unbelievers, and after their death, their souls will not return to the kingdom of gods.
If the bodies are not dealt with in time, their souls will wander in the world until they die. Some who encounter special circumstances will become undead.
For this reason, almost every noble territory has experienced the resurrection of the undead, and destroying those resurrected undead is a common task for demon hunting offices and noble lords.
However, feeling the familiar breath of the undead, the old duke soon frowned slightly and felt something was wrong:
"The one fighting the Great Knight is a high-level undead? That's impossible, right?"
"Yes, this is impossible. The holy light of my Holy Court is the most powerful against the undead. Unless the one fighting is a legendary witch king, no one can defeat Erd in such a short time..."
The great priest also shook his head.
The old duke narrowed his eyes:
"It seems that the other party wants to hide the traces..."
"I'm afraid so."
The high priest nodded and continued to use his magic to detect traces of the battle.
"There is no trace left. The power of the undead is most suitable for contamination. The other party must be a repeat offender."
After a moment, he shook his head slightly.
The old duke frowned:
"What mission are you on, Sir Knight?"
"It should be the one hunting down the Rose Society's president, Sebastian Flameheart."
"The Rose Society. I heard last night that the Rose Society has regained recognition from the church."
The old duke looked deeply at the high priest and said meaningfully.
The high priest was silent for a moment, then replied:
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't expect the Rose Society to be related to Castel, and I didn't expect... that the Rose Society could withstand the test of the Holy Light Judgment."
The old prince did not comment. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"It shouldn't be Sebastian."
"I've dealt with him before, he's a pretty interesting elf."
"He was a staunch nonbeliever. He firmly believed that it was the Moon God who destroyed the Old World, forcing the elves to drift to the New World."
"Not only did he blaspheme the Moon Goddess worshipped by the Moon God Island, he was also said to have insulted the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan. He is a complete lunatic, but surprisingly he is not a bad person."
"But... I remember that his power has long since fallen."
"It should be something else..."
The high priest did not deny it.
He picked up the broken holy emblem again and infused a little divine power into it.
However, at the moment when the divine power entered the holy emblem, a heart-stirring breath suddenly rose from the holy emblem.
The breath came quickly and went away quickly, disappearing in an instant.
But at that moment, the high priest trembled slightly, and seemed to hear a majestic rebuke from eternity:
"roll!"
At that voice, the high priest's face turned slightly pale, and it turned out that his soul was directly hurt.
He threw the broken holy emblem away almost instantly, and his whole body staggered, almost losing his balance.
Looking at the high priest's appearance, the old duke's eyes twitched.
He subconsciously looked at the holy emblem that was thrown on the ground by the other party, drew out his sword and wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by the high priest in an instant:
"do not move!"
"Don't touch it!"
“It’s been contaminated!”
"Evil God... It's the power of the evil god! A strange evil god just descended here!"
The high priest shouted in horror.
Evil God...!
The old duke's expression suddenly changed.
The high priest then performed a series of divine purifications on the holy emblem on the ground, and after a long time, he carefully picked it up again.
"There's no breath left. She should have gone far away."
The high priest breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Duke Bold's expression was not very good:
"Is it... the one representing the thorny rose?"
The high priest was silent.
After a long time, he sighed:
"I'm not sure either."
The old duke was immediately furious:
"Mr. Linus, I call you sir because you are a priest of the church!"
"As a priest, you have the obligation to report the resurrection of the evil god!"
"Except for the Blood Demon Cult, no new cult organization has appeared in Boulder for a long time."
"The one who can kill a great knight is most likely the mysterious evil god representing the thorn rose!"
"It's obvious... after so many days, her strength has recovered a lot."
"Mr. Linus, we can no longer hide this from the higher-ups."
"I know you want to compete for the position of high priest, but this is Boulder! I am the Duke of Boulder! I also need to be responsible to the people of Boulder!"
"If this matter gets out of hand, even if you become the head priest, you will be tracked down and punished! All your efforts will be meaningless!"
After hearing the old duke's words, the high priest's expression changed.
After a long time, he sighed:
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. I will handle this matter."
"Hmph! Please hurry up!"
The old duke snorted coldly and walked away.
The high priest's face turned unhappy as he watched Duke Bold leave.
He glanced at the broken holy emblem with an uncertain expression. After hesitating for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and put it in his arms.
The high priest did not deceive the old duke. He did sense the horrifying aura left by the evil god on the holy emblem.
However, he did not tell the other party that even after multiple purifications, the aura on the holy emblem did not completely disappear...
This mysterious evil god might be even higher in status than he imagined.
It was so high that even he had some crazy thoughts...
