The King of Knights in a Different World

"Rebellious...rebellious!"

The Pope pointed at Kirei, struggled and cursed.

"Who is the rebel? Me or the God we once believed in?"

As he spoke, Kirei openly questioned the existence of God.

"Do you understand.

What is your purpose..."

The Pope was shocked and asked with all his strength.

"My purpose is very simple, all I want is the extinction of the world.

If the world comes to an end, then the tragic scene of human beings in desperate situations must be very enjoyable."

Kirei revealed his purpose.

Because he could not understand the confusion in his heart, he once believed in gods all his life and wanted to get salvation from God.

However, God did not answer his prayers for a long time. Finally one day, he discovered that God did not exist at all.

The wife beside me chose to commit suicide because she could not accept this fact.

It was at that moment that the man named Kirei heard the voice of the real God. Under the guidance of this voice, he finally discovered what he was interested in, and the emptiness in his heart was temporarily filled.

In order to experience that feeling again, he killed his father and his mentor.

Step by step, he finally came to the most pleasant direction.

"You... heretic."

As the Pope spoke his last words, he died.

Killing this man whom he once respected so much, Kirei once again tasted the emotion called pleasure in his heart.

Especially after seeing the look in the Pope's eyes just now, he felt that he had finally found the destination of his soul.

Watching the Pope expire, Kirei didn't even glance at all the treasures here.

He brought the Pope's body to the main hall, and after placing the Pope's body on the throne, Kirei pulled out the dagger... and inserted it into the Pope's heart from the front.

Then, he carefully placed the Pope's hands on the dagger and made a gesture of committing suicide.

no.491 It’s too late

The holy city, which was glorious in the evening, lowered its flags for the last time today, and the royal flag of Britain was raised again.

Lucifer led the knights on the deserted road without much emotion.

On both sides of the stairs leading to the high hall, rows of former church knights laid down their weapons and knelt on both sides. From bottom to top, at the top were all the kneeling archbishops.

These... bishops in white were once looked up to by believers, and even when they saw the king, they did not need to salute.

But I never thought that one day I would be on the kneeling side.

But it's okay to kneel down. As long as the King of Knights doesn't kill them, it's okay for them to lie down.

Although humble, this is the thought of most bishops.

Lucifer led the round tables to the Pope's palace. At this time, the place was no longer sacred, but rather empty.

Directly in front, the Pope's body was lying on the throne.

"Lancelot, bring in all the bishops from outside."

Lucifer had no interest in sitting on that divine throne.

Instead, he gave instructions to the people around him.

"yes!"

After a while, more than a dozen bishops knelt down in the hall anxiously. They glanced at the Pope's body and quickly lowered their heads.

Even if they knew that the Pope had committed suicide, they were still afraid of Lucifer's next stab at them.

"You are the group of people who are most familiar with the Pope, and I need you to complete a task.

Have you seen the body there? It's up to you to confirm whether it is the real Pope or a substitute or something like that."

Lucifer looked back at these... former big shots and said indifferently.

Although he had learned about the Pope from Richelieu before, Lucifer still felt a little strange.

Because judging from previous information, this... pope is not... such an enlightened person.

On the contrary, he is very selfish and extremely afraid of death.

"us"

A white-bearded bishop said somewhat unexpectedly.

"If that is false and you are true, then you are lying to me.

You should understand the consequences.

On the other hand, if it is true but you deliberately lie to save your life, the consequences will be the same.

Go ahead and start with you."

With that said, Lucifer motioned to this...Whitebeard to verify.

Whitebeard swallowed his saliva and walked over slowly.

Although he was disgusted with this kind of behavior, he still endured it in order to survive.

After him, others walked over one after another. They carefully and repeatedly verified the authenticity of the pope, and finally reached a conclusion at the same time.

Really! This is the real Pope.

"You are sure"

Lucifer continued to ask.

Although his words were calm, they put more pressure on people than any angry words.

For a moment, these bishops looked at each other, but they couldn't guarantee it.

Finally, under pressure, a young bishop stepped forward.

"I'm sure! I'm sure that's Pope Borgia. If there's anything strange, it's that the Pope's two favorite ornaments are gone.

But he really teaches."

Bishop Martin was a little flustered when he spoke.

"Two pieces!"

Lucifer immediately felt something was wrong.

Richelieu had only said one thing before, but two things appeared.

Is there a problem? Richelieu didn't lie. That means... it was dropped.

Or there was another reason. "Yes, two pieces, a silver frame and a golden ring."

Martin said confidently.

"Very good! You did a good job, go down first.

Regarding your disposal, I will make arrangements later."

Lucifer's words basically meant that their lives were saved.

The bishops finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

After all these people were taken down by the knights, Lucifer immediately gave orders to Tristan beside him.

"Qing Tristan, immediately lead people to search the entire place.

See if there is... a secret room or a golden ring or something like that."

"As commanded."

"Qing Siegfried, please bring together all the church members here to interrogate matters regarding the golden ring."

"yes!"

After doing this..., Lucifer himself started searching in this hall.

At the same time, the knights began to take action.

They faithfully carried out Lucifer's orders.

Lucifer didn't quite understand the function of the ring, but since this...the pope had everything on his body when he died, only the ring and necklace were gone.

That in itself shows that these two things are very problematic.

Lucifer came to the Pope and looked at the Pope's suicide posture.

How should I put it? It takes a lot of courage to aim at your heart in this way. If you are not skilled, your death may be very painful.

Moreover, there was too little blood spilled.

I wouldn't be surprised if this... pope died after taking the poison.

But this guy happened to be like a warrior and chose a warrior's way of ending the fight.

Coupled with the disappearance of two items, I had to feel strange for a while.

Especially when one of them is related to a treasure.

While others were still searching, Lucifer discovered something strange about the statue behind the throne.

His eyes saw the hidden flow of magic here.

Although it is easy for people to ignore the existence of divine power.

After confirming this, Lucifer raised his hand and the magic circle in his palm began to rotate.

After a while, the magic circle under the huge statue shattered like glass, and then, a door appeared in front of Lucifer.

Looking around, the stairs inside the gate lead to the underground.

"Sure enough, there is a secret door.

Lord Tristan, bring four personal guards and follow me."

Withdrawing his arm, Lucifer spoke to the round table that was still there not far away: Searching.

"Follow your orders!"

Lucifer guided them downwards, and soon they came to the room where the Pope actually died.

In this huge basement, they saw the Pope's lifetime collection, as well as the... double, with a knight's sword embedded in its body.

"This is!"

Tristan looked at everything in front of him, his face full of doubts.

"It seems that this is where the Pope really died."

Lucifer looked at the pool of blood on the ground that had not completely dried up, and he had the answer in his heart.

As expected, the pope was planning to use a substitute to fake his death.

But he was discovered and his fake death became his real death.

The only question now is, who was that man and why did he want to kill the Pope.

Judging from the fact that the other party did not take away the wealth here, he did not kill for wealth.

This also excludes those previous bishops.

If they had discovered this place, they would have sent people to move it all away.

Could it be the fox? No, no, the fox had intercepted Richelieu and she got the key.

There's no need to risk going back, and it's not the fox's style.

The third unknown person?

What is his purpose? Is he a grudge against the Pope? Since he disguised the Pope's suicide, he has obviously been in this city for a long time. There is no trace of hatred in his killing method. It's more like he doesn't want me to continue to investigate.
