Temple of Light

As word of what happened at the Tavern spread...

Those horrific scenes were also witnessed by some observant Professional.

The local Temple Knight and Priest rushed over to handle the situation themselves.

As for William and Lancelot, they had no choice but to leave.

Lancelot understood that the guy seemed to be after him, but he didn't know how he had offended him.

His mind is full of questions right now.

But I can't figure out the relationship between the two.

After all, although he embodies light and justice, they never have a superfluous trial process when facing Dark Creatures; if they can kill, they won't waste a single word.

But he was, after all, Temple Envoy from the Southeastern Region, and didn't have much power here.

In particular, he himself was unaware that he was Light Child, just like his current mission, which left him somewhat baffled.

Lancelot stepped outside the Tavern, sighed deeply, and said to William with a hint of worry in his heart, "Since the Mana Revival, I feel like the world has changed."

The Mana between heaven and earth became extremely concentrated.

Many Dark Creatures no longer need to emerge from the Demon Cavern.

Leaving aside Mage, even ordinary people without Mana can summon Devil simply by carving curses on walls and Sacrifice living beings.

This has led to numerous terrorist incidents occurring in many cities and Small Town.

Those terrors spread like wildfire, like Plague, forcing many humans who fear the Dark Creatures to Faith them in order to avoid causing them trouble!

But the emergence of Cult has given me the feeling that the human world is on the verge of chaos.

"Don't worry about that, now is not the time to think about it," William said, patting him on the shoulder reassuringly.

But he wasn't telling the truth. Even in a society with nine years of compulsory education, there are still many criminals, let alone in this Magic Continent...

The situation can only get worse, far more complicated and difficult than Lancelot imagined.

Lancelot was about to say something when he saw his other men approaching.

He immediately raised his confident face and said to the group in a deep voice, "Evil can only hide in the darkness. They are just a bunch of sneaky and useless people. As long as we have justice and light in our hearts, we can destroy any Devil."

Everyone, please rest well today. We'll head to the Temple tomorrow.

"Yes, sir." The other Temple Knight bowed respectfully.

Upon seeing Lancelot's perpetually confident face, their bodies seemed to brimme with energy and courage, so they turned and went into the nearby inn to rest, no longer worrying about what had happened inside.

Lancelot watched them leave.

He was aware of his own characteristics.

They also knew many of the Temple Knight ' weaknesses and strengths.

Not everyone is fearless.

Not everyone is free from fear.

They simply held onto their beliefs.

To have Faith.

Know why you are fighting.

But more often than not, many people feel lost, so they need a flag to be raised high.

And that flag represents himself.

That flag that never shows weakness.

He needed to instill enough confidence in his Knight so that they could truly be invincible.

This is something he learned when he was the Temple Knight Order Commander.

Available recently.

After the Mana Revival.

Lancelot is finding it increasingly difficult to cope.

He led the Temple Knight and traveled to almost every town in most of the Southeastern Region.

Fighting against Dark Creatures everywhere.

But in every place they went, there were comrades who left their lives there forever.

He was in pain, confused, and couldn't understand.

Why does the Dark World wage war after war?

The World of Gods is vast...

But he had clearly heard from others that the Dark World was much larger than the World of Gods.

Why did they start the war?

Wouldn't it be better if everyone could live in peace?

There were no further deaths on either side.

There was no more grief between the two sides...

William seemed to sense that Lancelot was troubled by something in his eyes.

The two wandered around to clear their minds until they came to a bridge in the town and gradually stopped.

The Magic Lamp hanging from the trees all around were so bright that one could see through the clear river water and spot the fish swimming around.

One of the large Loach, which burrowed into the mud and looked more like a small snake, suddenly swallowed a small fish and then instantly burrowed back into the mud to avoid being eaten by a larger fish.

This makes those mutated giant Loach look like some kind of killer lurking in the shadows.

William suddenly smiled and said, "You know, different fish live at different depths of water. They would normally live peacefully together and rarely come into contact with each other."

We are like those fish swimming at the very top of the water.

The Demon is like Loach hiding in the mud in the water.

There is absolutely no difference in their levels.

But the Mana Revival changed the entire world and linked the two worlds together.

It further amplifies the inherent nature within all living beings!

"By the way, do you know what the nature of living beings is?" William suddenly asked.

Lancelot frowned. "Survival?"

His Prince nodded with satisfaction. "That's right, it's about survival."

To survive, one must prey on the small and fight against the strong. Big fish eat small fish, and when small fish see a big fish injured, they will swarm around and devour it completely.

This is the nature of all living things.

Demon are like mutated Loach that suddenly have sharp Tooth; they can break free from the constraints of the soil and roam freely at higher water levels.

It can also open its huge mouth to devour fish that it has never eaten before, and continuously occupy the territory of those fish.

They originally lived in darkness.

But as they grow stronger, they will naturally perceive us as weak and seek to encroach upon the territory of the weak.

This is human nature.

then.

Some people want to avoid it.

But like those fish that escape, he will never get enough food, will always be so small, and will spend his whole life struggling until he can no longer run, at which point he will be eaten.

However, some people only face things head-on.

He would eat small Loach to grow bigger, then eat large Loach, gradually becoming a gigantic creature, and from then on, Fearless.

William paused, then continued, "I don't know what's puzzling you."

But I believe in you; running away isn't your style.

Facing it head-on is your final decision.

Lancelot seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze gradually hardening. He looked at William and said, "You're right, many wars are fought without cause."

Many perverted and insane people's actions don't need explanation.

I don't know, nor do I need to know, the reason for the invasion of the Dark Creatures.

All I need to know is that they've come into my world, so I'm going to take them down.

I don't need to get to the bottom of everything.

All I need to do is use the sword in my hand to carve out my own justice.

William shrugged and gave him a "you can do it" look.

Lancelot gave him a look that said, "You're pretty good too."

And quietly increased her favorability towards me.

Lancelot's inner conflict is just a minor episode. Even without William, he would have figured it out anyway. It's normal for this protagonist, who Pierce numerous versions, to be a little confused now.

His resolve can only grow stronger from now on.

But William, this handsome young man who always manages to squeeze in...

How could I possibly let go of such an opportunity to boost my favorability?

These opportunities will only become fewer and fewer in the future!

the next day.

Lancelot then led William all the way to the headquarters of the Temple of Light.

Neither of them noticed that the guy had reappeared during this time.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Temple of Light...

Even if the Dark Child could summon the Dark Gate here, would he have a chance to escape?

This was not the arrogant period he experienced after becoming Legendary.

He was merely Master Tier Dark Child, far less troublesome than he had been in his previous life.

then.

William saw the Temple of Light again.

He was looking into the distance.

I still couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

Magnificent.

vast.

vast...

Tens of thousands of the Palace are clustered together, like a continuous mountain range, separating the sky from the earth.

The light and sense of security emanating from those Palace naturally make people feel relaxed.

This Temple of Light, which has existed for countless years, has grown larger and larger, with more and more buildings appearing.

All the Palace were built from a type of white Magic stone.

However, there were no city walls surrounding the Temple...

Hmm.

Or you could say...

Even with city walls, those who managed to get this far are useless.

He couldn't get here; he couldn't even break into a single Palace...

The Palace before William and his companions was the largest of all the Palace, the Temple of Light.

1,000 meters high.

1,000 meters long.

One kilometer wide.

Meanwhile, the entrance to the Temple of Light was radiating a dazzling white light.

It was like the entrance to the capital of Deity kingdom.

To prevent outsiders from seeing what's inside.

William and his companions walked towards this place step by step, like ants approaching a god.

And as we approached the entrance to this Temple.

They saw the steps, as white as jade.

No more, no less.

That's exactly one thousand steps.

On either side of the steps stood two rows of incredibly well-equipped Master Tier Temple Knight, standing in perfect formation, totaling exactly two thousand men.

What do you call profound cultural heritage?

This is...

Lancelot seems to have been here more than once.

Before stepping onto the steps, he spoke something to one of the Temple Knight guarding the gate, who then glanced at William and gestured for him to go in.

As they climbed the thousand steps...

The moment I entered the Temple.

The dazzling white light has disappeared.

A Temple, a thousand meters high, stood before everyone's eyes.

Lancelot and the others immediately bowed their heads in respect.

William, on the other hand, used an Elf greeting.

Regardless of whether the Deity are good or bad.

Respect for the strong is absolutely essential.

After paying homage to the God of Light.

Lancelot said to William, "Every time a clergyman returns from afar, he must first pay homage to the God of Light. After that, I have to attend to my own business. You can look around as you please."

Hmm.

You can go wherever you want; if there are places you're not allowed in, you can't get in anyway, given your abilities.

So, I'll contact you again later.

"Oh my god!" William grinned like a pervert.

"Do you want someone to show you around?"

William was looking up at the statue of the God of Light when he shook his head. "No need, no need, it's more fun to walk around by myself."

"Alright then, don't cause any trouble..." Lancelot was a little worried about William, but he still led the others to hand over the mission.

After William watched him leave, he glanced at the other clergy members, whose auras varied greatly, and couldn't help but lick his lips. He had to admit...

At the headquarters of the Temple of Light... retrieve something.

That was so exciting!
