"What makes this even more troublesome..." One of them glanced at Lu Yuan before speaking, a trace of hesitation in his eyes. The Rock Grand Knight Commander lifted his chin slightly to signal that it was fine, and only then did he continue. "When he recites his prayers, something seems to be protecting him. In other words, the one he worships is currently active."
