The carriage was driven slowly on the main road. rlin had his eyes closed, resting in the carriage. Suddenly, he felt the carriage being jolted around violently and heard the horses outside neighing and whinnying.

“Moss, what’s wrong?”

rlin pulled open the curtains of the carriage asked Moss with a frown.

At the sa ti, Moss was exerting as much energy as he could to control the panicking black horse. Hearing the dissatisfaction in rlin’s tone of voice, Moss said with so unease, “Master rlin, a team of knights had rushed in from the back. I don’t know who on earth they are, rampaging on the street.”

rlin raised his head and looked into the distance. Indeed, he saw a team of knights in bright and shining armor in front. They were currently rushing forward, completely ignoring the passersby and carriages on the road. The entire street was chaotic with the curses of many people.

The outfits on these knights’ bodies were unlike those of the City Defense Troop knights. rlin had never seen them before.

“Aye? rlin?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice drifted into rlin’s ear from the side. rlin turned his head to see a carriage stopping by the roadside on the right side of the street. The coachman was doing his best to calm the shocked horses down. As for the person in the carriage, it was surprisingly Carice, whom he had not seen for more than ten days.

“Miss Carice.”

rlin hurriedly got down from his carriage and went to Carice’s carriage and asked, “Miss Carice, are you alright?”

Carice shook her head gently and said, “It’s just that the horses have been frightened, I’m fine. Right, I’ve gone to visit Mr. Etha a few days ago but Mr. Etha wasn’t ho. Do you know what’s going on?”

“Teacher Etha said he has so personal matters to attend to and has to leave Blackwater City for a period of ti. I want to go and see if Teacher Etha has returned today.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Carice’s face. “Such a coincidence, I’m also preparing to go see Mr. Etha. Shall we go together?”

rlin nodded. With their carriages in a single file, they drove toward Mr. Etha’s small wooden house.

After a short while, the carriages ca to a halt slowly. Moss pulled open the carriage curtains and said to rlin helplessly, “Master rlin, we’re unable to go forward; it’s been blocked.”

“Blocked?”

rlin frowned and lifted his head to look outside. At a location not far from old man Etha’s small wooden house was a circle of people blocking the road.

“What’s going on?”

Carice had also gone down from her carriage. She glanced at rlin, looking very mystified.

“Miss Carice, the road seems to have been blocked. Shall we go and see what the matter is?”

So, rlin and Carice got down the carriage and walked a few steps forward, arriving in the midst of the crowd. rlin and Carice were tall so they were still able to see the situation inside even though they were outside of the crowd.

“This bunch of knights again? Miss Carice, do you know these people?”

rlin saw over twenty knights wearing silver-white armor in the midst of the crowd. They had been the ones who had rampaged on the street and caused the chaos. Now, they were blocking the road and not letting anyone pass, resulting in a large crowd around them.

Carice frowned and observed the outfits of this group of knights carefully for a long ti. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “I don’t really dare to confirm it but looking at their attire, they seem sowhat like the Guardian Swordsn of the Church of Light. But we don’t have Guardian Swordsn in Blackwater City, so I don’t dare say for sure.”

“Guardian Swordsn?”

rlin repeated the words. Imdiately, he rembered Cawthon because he had beco a Light Swordsman and a Guardian Swordsman of the church in Grand City.

“Could it be the Guardian Swordsn of Grand City?” rlin guessed in a low voice.

“Grand City? It’s possible but they’ve mobilized so many Guardian Swordsn to Blackwater City all at once. Could there be so great trouble?”

Carice and rlin did not dare to say for sure. It was known that every Guardian Swordsman was a big personality, especially in a small city like Blackwater City. In a sense, the Guardian Swordsn of the church were equal to aristocrats.

There could have been sothing serious to have all twenty Guardian Swordsn who were equal to aristocrats to be sent out all at once.

It was at this mont that another team of knights ca from behind. rlin was very familiar with the attire of this team of knights. They were the knights brigade of the City Defense Troop in Blackwater City.

The crowd imdiately split apart, letting the team of knights from the City Defense Troop through. The leading knight yelled at the unidentified knights, “Where are you knights from?”

A knight wearing a silver helt walked forward. With a high and mighty expression, he said to the knight of the City Defense Troop, “We’re the Guardian Swordsn from the Church of Light in Grand City!”

“Guardian Swordsn from Grand City?”

The knights of the City Defense Troop were shocked. On normal days, even the castellan had to give a Guardian Swordsman careful treatnt if one was to co from Grand City. Therefore today, it was needless to talk about it when more than twenty Guardian Swordsn had co all at once.

“May I know what business do these few honorable Swordsn have to co to Blackwater City?”

The knight from the City Defense Troop asked cautiously.

“We’ve received orders from sir bishop to co and capture the evil heretic of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. You should leave quickly or you’ll be hurt by the magic of the evil heretic.”

“The evil heretic?”

As though they had heard about so frightening thing, the crowd which had just been densely packed retreated speedily. In the blink of an eye, they were far away from these Guardian Swordsn.

Even the young knights in the City Defense Troop were shocked with looks of horror on their faces.

rlin did not know what that evil heretic was. However, seeing the reaction from those around him, he could more or less guess that it was soone who was extrely horrifying and scary.

“Swordsman Bogg, the evil heretic is in the small wooden house in front. Bring your n and surround the place.”

A man wearing white robes with light armor instructed the Guardian Swordsn around him.

There was a chill in Bogg’s heart. As expected, they had found the evil heretic. He did not dare to waste any ti. Unsheathing his greatsword in a hurry as though he was about to face a great enemy, he got a dozen or so knights to quickly run forward and surround the small wooden house.

“Ah? Isn’t that Mr. Etha’s house?”

Alard, Carice cried out involuntarily. It was fortunate that the noises of the surrounding crowd were very loud, covering her voice.

rlin hurriedly grabbed and pulled Carice’s hand. He could not bother himself with how it felt, and hurriedly said in a low voice, “Miss Carice, don’t make a sound.”

Of course, rlin could see that the target of this group of Guardian Swordsn was the small wooden house of the mysterious old man Etha. He knew that since this group of Guardian Swordsn had arrived, they must have had obtained so sort of news.

“rlin, don’t know if Mr. Etha’s back yet, huh? But the situation now seems to be very disadvantageous for Mr. Etha. I hope it won’t involve him.”

Carice spoke in a low voice.

rlin’s expression was grave and heavy where he shook his head slightly. There was a bad premonition in his heart as though this matter and the mysterious old man Etha were irreversibly linked.

A few dozen Guardian Swordsn surrounded old man Etha’s small wooden house in groups. Swordsman Bogg, who was wearing the silver helt on his head, asked the white-robed man respectfully, “Sir Jason, what do we do now?”

The white-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see the situation in the small wooden house. However, the doors and the windows of the small wooden house were shut tight. No one could see what was inside properly.

After a long ti, the white-robed man waved his hand and said, “Swordsman Bogg, go in. It’ll be best if the heretic can be captured alive.”

Swordsman Bogg was slightly stunned. He felt suffering in his heart as everyone knew how horrifying the evil heretic was, but Jason had already given the order. Although Bogg was a Second-level Light Swordsman, he could only obey.

So, Swordsman Bogg summoned three Guardian Swordsn and rushed into the small wooden house together.

Everyone stared nervously at the small wooden house. After those four Guardian Swordsn had entered, there did not seem to be any movent. Even the white-robed man frowned and muttered under his breath, “Could the information be wrong?”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Suddenly, there were a few muffled sounds ca out from the originally calm and quiet small wooden house. The bodies of the few Guardian Swordsn who had rushed into the house earlier flew out imdiately from the small wooden house. Their bodies were charred black as though they had been burnt by fire. There was even the charred stench of grilled at.

The bodies of the few Guardian Swordsn fell to the ground heavily, unmoving. They were all dead.

The knights of the City Defense Troop who had been nearer to the small wooden house were no longer able to hide the horror in their hearts after seeing the three charred bodies. All of them turned and ran, retreating far away.

These Guardian Swordsn were not ordinary n. Every Guardian Swordsman was at least a First-level Light Swordsman and can be concluded that they were all great and powerful Elental Swordsn.

Nevertheless, now, these Elental Swordsn had only gone in for a while to only die mysteriously.

“Holy Light Cleave!”

It was at this ti that a loud roaring voice rang out from within the small wooden house. There had been four Guardian Swordsn who entered the house. Three were now dead and Swordsman Bogg was still inside.

This voice ca from Swordsman Bogg.

A figure imdiately jumped out from the small wooden house accompanied by a dazzling white light. Astonishingly, it was Swordsman Bogg.

“Sir Jason, the evil heretic is inside.”

Bogg’s body was shrouded in dazzling white light. However, the tattered clothes on his body could still be vaguely seen. There was also fresh blood dripping to the ground from his right arm. It was obvious that he had also been injured.

“Second-level Swordsman, it’s a Second-level Swordsman!”

Carice, who was standing next to rlin, said in a tone of disbelief. There was also a slight chill in rlin’s heart. He was afraid that a Second-level Elental Swordsman would be the number one master in the entire Blackwater City, and in a way that was rightfully deserving.

Swordsman Pero was only a First-level Fire Swordsman and Old Wilson who had been through the battle for a long ti seed also to be a First-Level Elental Swordsman at his peak. However, they had never broken through to the Second-level.

However, right now, a great and powerful Second-level Elental Swordsman was in such an unexpected and pitiful state. He had practically escaped out of the small wooden house in a flurry.

The white-robed man gave a cold glance at Swordsman Bogg. Then, he took a deep breath and shouted at the small wooden house, “Heretic, God is forgiving. If you could only return into God’s embrace, believe in God and be one of God’s people, then the sin on you shall be cleansed.”

“God? Is there a God in this world? You Church of Light have been around for so many years, and you’re still so pretentious. Laughable, really laughable! You, as a First-level Spell Caster, could you still not know about those laughable lies of your church? I only believe in the truth, I believe in the true essence of magic, and not the imaginary God that you n speak of.”

A hoarse voice rang out from the small wooden house. Subsequently, a figure slowly walked out from there.
