See Roland open his mouth wide, and Viper Knight makes a hoarse "hiss" sound from his Adam's apple.
When it opens its mouth, its scarlet forked tongue trembles at high frequency like a two-headed poisonous python;
The moment saliva dripped onto the blue bricks, pungent white smoke suddenly rose from the surface of the bricks, and spider-like corrosion patterns spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It seems you know who I am.
I have dedicated myself entirely to Snake God. I believe that in a few days, I will become the new high priest of Snake Cult.
And you, as a witness that I just became Viper Knight, see my martial arts."
As he spoke, it pounced like a wild beast, knocking over the long table as it ran, and stepped on it at the same time.
With a "click", Sanmao's chest sunk, and this fellow Pica was trampled to death without saying a word.
Roland forced down the trembling in his heart and body, and swung his sword forcefully.
But he saw Viper Knight waving his left claw, and the razor-like claw actually blocked the blade.
Powerful force came along the sword, and Roland took two steps back in disbelief.
Roland's sword edge has not yet been fully deployed, but Viper Knight's sharp claws are already interlocking like five scimitars.
The sparks erupted from the metal collision illuminated the knight's pale face, and the blood beads from the broken jaw were winding down along the lines of the sword hilt.
In an instant, this numbness spread throughout the body, and the sword in his hand was knocked away, and it rolled down in front of the Baroness with a clang.
Roland deeply believes in Goddess of Dawn, and his belief originates from all the Five Chivalric Virtues teachings contained in Goddess of Dawn.
The countess was in danger at this moment, how could he back down?
He mustered up the courage and shouted "Long live Dawn!", calmed his mind, clenched his fists and hit the enemy's side.
Viper Knight A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his claws slowly dropped.
The next moment, the thick snake tail swung out violently with strong wind.
Roland felt as if he had been beaten hard by a giant with a bone stick. When his whole body was in severe pain, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood in the air. After he landed, his eyes suddenly blurred and darkened.
When he raised his head, what he saw was the countess shedding tears of worry.
"Roland..." the countess' voice trembled, "Why did you save me? Now we are going to die together."
"I am a knight, and it is my duty to save you."
"Is this really the only reason?"
At this time, they clearly heard the unhurried footsteps behind them.
This Viper Knight did this on purpose. He released the fear on his victims before enjoying his death, enjoying the fear that spread from them, which made him feel comfortable all over.
"Sorry, Augury. My body and mind have been dedicated to Goddess of Dawn. If I were just an ordinary person..."
"Who?"
Viper Knight's snake eyes shrank into thin needles. He turned around suddenly and saw a fiery red figure holding two swords, stopping quietly three inches away from him.
Viper Knight waved his giant tail vigorously and swept out.
Dick moved lightly, and a shadow was reflected in Viper Knight's pupils.
The giant tail hit the blue brick, cracking a deep groove, but it was completely empty.
"Master Dick, you are finally here."
Roland He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with one hand on the ground, and slowly unlocked the lock behind the Baroness.
"Besides those Monster, there are also some hidden in other houses in the courtyard, so I came a little late."
"Impossible! Why can you avoid my attack?"
Viper Knight seemed to be in a frenzy, waving its claws constantly, and beating the snake's tail constantly.
But Dick just took seven steps back in a row, each step tilted at a specific angle to avoid the attack just right.
When the seventh step was completed, the interested smile on Dick's face stopped, "Snake Cult's legendary killing machine - Viper Knight, is nothing more than that."
He crossed his swords and swung them like scissors. When his wrists merged, a white light flashed, and Viper Knight's scaly body suddenly froze.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest, where a neat tangent line was slowly emerging, and his broken and bleeding heart was beating weakly.
The moment Dick sheathed his sword, Viper Knight's corpse crashed to the ground.
Feeling the prompt on the panel, Dick looked at the fallen knight and the countess who fell in love with him, "Everything is over. I have collected the commission fee. Everyone, take your leave."
Dick When he turned around, the dwarf butler rushed over with four guards.
Seeing that the owner was safe and sound, the housekeeper took out his handkerchief, carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted his chest and said:
"Oh, Master Demon Hunter, thank you!"
Dick nodded, walked a few steps, then stopped and looked at Roland.
"Your Goddess of Dawn has abandoned you. You should think about how to live the rest of your life."
"No way!"
"Impossible? Dawn Sword is already mine. Try again. Can you still communicate with your goddess now?"
Roland knelt on one knee and still maintained the prayer ritual, but the familiar golden shimmer no longer appeared on his palms.
He repeated the prayer gesture mechanically, his nails scraping on the breastplate with a harsh sound, until the countess's tears fell on the back of his hand.
That drop of warmth finally extinguished the last spark of hope in his eyes.
"Goddess... why is there no response from the goddess? In the past, when I was confused, she would always guide me out."
"It's simple, because you are no longer the spokesperson of Goddess of Dawn.
The sword on my waist is proof that I have become the new spokesperson. You... are too weak."
Dick has his own reasons for saying this.
In Gabriel's mental space, although he didn't know what plan Gabriel would implement in the future, he could guess that this plan must be related to Roland.
Gabriel forcibly interrupted the conversation with Dick, indicating that she was entangled in something.
If Roland can be shaken in his belief at this time, no matter what, it can be regarded as a trick for Gabriel.
Moreover, Dick feels that Roland is a pretty good person. We can't watch him keep turning to the evil god, so this can be considered as a way to make him change his ways.
Just when Roland's mind was in chaos and he was confused, a warm little hand tightly grasped his rough and scarred big hand, "Roland, no matter what happens in the future, I will support you."
Looking at the tearful and affectionate gaze of the Baroness, Roland's anxious mood gradually dissipated, and a sense of security filled her heart.
He recalled recent events:
Being hunted by the former Dawn brothers, Dawn Sword was handed over to the demon hunter by the goddess, and now he can no longer communicate with the goddess.
When she was desperate, she was taken in by the Baroness. The person who supported her all the time was also the Baroness. Even when someone laughed at her for being a rotten wood, the person who stopped her was still the Baroness.
He hugged the Baroness with his backhand and thought to himself, "I'm sorry, Goddess of Dawn, from now on..."
The countess also hugged her sweetheart tightly with a look of joy on her face.
Dick didn't care about this, he said hello to the dwarf housekeeper, and then walked out carefully across the corpses and the lake of blood in the courtyard.
At this time, he carefully checked the prompts in his mind:
Kill 56 Snake Cult warriors and get Energy Points X440;
Kill Viper Knight Biltay and get Energy Points X60;
Complete the mission (rescue Lady Ogrey) and obtain Energy Points X400;
The current total is Energy Points X1100.
"Hmm?
"Why can you get so many Energy Points from such a simple task as rescuing a baroness?"
After a second thought, he understood:
"That Biltay must have committed a serious crime. Saving the Baroness not only saves her alone, but also puts an end to the evil ritual.
Besides, he has hidden so many Snake Cult warriors, maybe he is still planning something."
There are only 300 ability points left on the panel.
[Alchemy] Potion Making (Master Level): The effect is increased by 70%, and the toxicity is greatly reduced.
This is not over yet...
[Alchemy] Potion Making (Grandmaster level): The effect is increased by 100%, non-toxic.
Dick couldn't help but widen his eyes with joy. After riding on the horse, he began to think about the future:
The master-level Potion Making not only smoothly entered a large amount of information about medicinal materials into his mind, but also when he wanted to make a certain type of potion, his mind would automatically and slowly calculate it without consuming any of his own energy.
Just like when he wanted to make a life-extending potion for Aode before, he also knew that it would require 2 Dragon Tear Gem and a variety of precious materials, as well as cost 200 Energy Points, which was quite difficult.
Dick rubbed his chin, "There is still a long way to go."
