"Uncle John, why didn't the church knight retreat after chasing the cultists for a week? He was alone! There was no reinforcement or supply yet, and he should retreat immediately, or bypass the cultists to inform the church led by Baron White Deer."

By the fire, Parr looked through the diary of the church knights and asked the question in his heart. This was the point he couldn't understand the most. Even though the sacrifice of the church knights allowed him and Haystack Village to escape, he asked himself that if it were him, he would definitely retreat and ask for help first, because there was no need to take his life for a strange village, especially when he was still a bronze-level knight.

In terms of value, the life of a bronze-level knight is more precious than that of everyone in an ordinary small village.

"You ask this!"

John picked up a hardwood and threw it into the fire. He was silent for a long time before he said in a voice with a hint of emotion:

"Little one, you have just walked out of the house and have basically never had contact with the church people. If you contact them a few more times, you will understand that most of the people in the Neutral Light Church are like the church knight, stubborn and stupid. Although it is unpleasant that they often come to the scene in the end, as long as they arrive and see the cultists, they will not watch the cultists harm others. Even if they can't beat them, they will not take a step back. There is a saying in the church: When facing the cultists, we have no way out. Even if we lose, we will die on the way to charge and dispel eternal darkness with the faint light of life."

"But isn't this going to die in vain?"

Parr held a long branch and fiddled with the fire, and felt even more puzzled. What's the difference between doing this and dying?

"Sometimes it's really a waste of death."

John nodded, he did not deny this, which was also the reason why he did not join the church. His purpose was to kill all the cultists and spend his whole life doing this, so he would not die in vain even though he knew that he could not do it, because he knew that his strength still had room for improvement. Only when his strength was improved would his purpose be easier to achieve.

However, this does not mean that John looks down on the people of the church. He even respects those who are so stupid and cute, because it is precisely because of the existence of those people that for thousands of years, this world has not been destroyed by the murderous cultists.

Thinking of this, John reached out and patted Parr's little head and taught: "Little one, remember that it is our knight's greatest courage and glory to know that it is our knights who will die."

"oh!"

Then John told Pal a story, which could be regarded as answering Pal’s question in why the people in the church are not afraid of death.

...

After the disaster a thousand years ago, the four countries in the mainland were first established and all were in ruins. Cultists sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The evil gods who were surviving also intended to return to the throne of the gods. The peace that all ethnic groups on the mainland exchanged for countless sacrifices is about to be destroyed.

At this moment, a group of knights holding white lights appeared. Under the leadership of the Dragon Knights of the Light, they established the Neutral Light Church, and began to hunt down cultists appearing all over the mainland and find a place to survive in the breath of evil gods.

This was destined to be a protracted war. The church knights were very small at first. Facing a huge number of cultists, it was like a faint light facing the darkness that covered the sky and the earth. If it weren't for the Radiant Dragon Paladin, one of the Seven Paladins of Saviors, the church would have been destroyed long ago.

However, the real opponent of the Saint Dragon Knight of the Ray Light was not the cultists who looked like soldiers in his eyes, but the bosses of the cultists, the evil gods who survived the disaster and were surviving in a secret place.

Therefore, the Holy Dragon Paladin of the Radiant Light often does not care about the knights of the church.

Many times, when facing cultists who far exceed their number, the church knights can rely on only themselves, their comrades, weapons in their hands, armor on their bodies and beliefs in their hearts, and then shout slogans and launch a desperate charge towards the cultists.

"Dispel eternal darkness with the faint light of life."

After every battle, the church knights naturally suffered heavy casualties, and it was common to destroy them all. However, their life-demanding behavior shocked the cultists and the tribes on the mainland, making all races immersed in the hard-earned peace sober. All races realized that the disaster was over, but the battle was not over yet!

So, a clearing operation that swept the mainland began. People from all ethnic groups and countries picked up their discarded weapons again and waved them heavily at the cultists who had a pitfall.

Finally, with the efforts of the church knights and all ethnic groups on the mainland, the rampant cultist momentum was suppressed. Although the cultists were not completely eliminated, it was no longer hindered the overall situation. People put down their weapons again and began to recuperate, while the church continued to hunt down cultists.

...

"The later church knights also inherited the beliefs of their predecessors, facing the cultists without retreating, and used the faint fire of life to dispel eternal darkness."

At the end of the day, John finally relieved Parr's doubts, but new doubts emerged.

"Uncle John, it's been a thousand years. Are there no generation of church knights afraid of death? Or are there any other reasons?"

"Um?"

John, who heard the question, glanced at Parr in surprise, then laughed and messed up Parr's short black hair.

"Hahaha, you guys are sometimes stupid, sometimes smart."

"Don't mess with my hairstyle!"

Parr covered his hair. His hair was not long, but it was not as short as John's, just like his previous life. So in the two days before departure, he not only spent a long time tidying up his hair in Haystack Village, but also in the past two days before departure.

"Okay OK."

John stopped laughing, withdrew his big hand, and then added two more firewood to the fire.

"You are right. The church knights are not afraid of death, but other reasons other than the beliefs of their predecessors, that is, their life experience."

"What's their life experience?"

While tidying up his hair, Parr thought, is there anything special about the Knights of the Church? Wait! Could it be...

Before Parr could confirm the vague answer in his heart, John explained the reason:

"Most of the members of the church are orphans. They have grown up in the church since childhood. They have not had much contact with the outside world and have no intention of contacting trivial matters from outside. They only have to chase and kill cultists and protect the safety of the people. So sometimes they seem a little ignorant. You will feel that they are making things difficult for you, but it is not like that, but that their personality is just like that and cannot be changed."

“There are so many orphans…”

Parr suddenly stopped saying something, and he remembered that the original owner of his body was also an orphan? He was picked up by Jack's father and raised.

“…”

John had already inquired about Parr's information in Haystack Village. Now that he saw Parr's appearance, he guessed what Parr was thinking, so he didn't say anything else.

This continent is not peaceful, and there are not many orphans.

...

In the deep forest, beside the fire, both big and small fell into silence. After a long time, John stretched.

Ha~

Rubbing his eyes and yawned, John got up and pulled out two blankets made of cow fur from Parr's large package, leaving one himself, and threw the other to Parr.

"Okay, little girl, don't think about it. My bedtime story is over. It's time to go to bed. We have to continue our journey tomorrow!"

After saying that, John found a place not far from the fire and went to bed with a blanket.

"oh!"

Parr came back to his senses from his memory and responded perfunctorily. After taking the blanket of the cold at night, he did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he picked up the diary of the church knight and continued to read it. He now urgently needs to learn about information from all aspects of the world.

...

Snooze... Snooze...

“…”

As John snored, Parr turned around from the first page of the diary and saw the last page of the content, and then showed a helpless expression on his face.

The diary is quite full, but most of it is the knight who is studying and training in the church and chasing cultists outside. There are too many repetitive parts and there is no substantial information at all. It is perfunctory, as if writing a diary is a task that must be completed every day. The remaining small part is about a little girl named Itise.

"Is this twelve-year-old girl named Itise the adopted daughter of the church knight?" Parr looked at it for a long time and then came up with such a vague message. There was nothing else, and the name of the church knight was not found.

That's right! After talking for so long, Parr and John really don't know what the name of the church knight is. There is no in the diary, only I claim to be, and there is no in the pile of relics. I don't know where the badges of the church staff who originally recorded the names of the church knights fell in the battle? Parr and the others did not find it.

So Pal and John can only use that church knight as a synonym.

...

Hurry!

After turning over the last page of the content, there is a blank paper behind it. There is no chance that these blank areas will be recorded.

Alas~

Thinking of the experience of the church knight, Parr sighed, then closed the diary and put it into the small package containing the relics of the church knight. But at this moment, Parr let out a light exclamation.

"Huh? What is this?"

There seemed to be a piece of paper in the last few pages of the diary, revealing a small corner, which was noticed by Parr. When he was curious, Parr opened the last few pages of the diary, and then a folded thin white paper fell off.

"This is……"

Parr quickly caught the white paper without letting it float into the fire. Curious in his heart, he carefully spread the white paper with obvious extraordinary material.

Did you detect a learning skill? Does it cost 10 spiritual energy points to learn?

"well?"

Before Parr could see clearly what was recorded on the white paper, a prompt popped up on the data panel. After seeing the content of the prompt, Parr was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of ecstasy appeared on his little face, almost jumped up, and quickly turned around to cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, awakening John, who was regarded as a lunatic by John.

Huh... Huh...

"Calm down, I want to calm down..."

Parr took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the excitement in his heart. Then he held the thin white paper in front of him, turned on the dark vision and looked carefully.

"I'll see what kind of skill this is."
Chapter completed!
