A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 37: Hilt
"next."

Before daybreak, the clergy began to search the mansion.

There should be quite a few people in the royal capital who have received the records of those familiars, of course, they have been taken out of context.

"no problem."

A gentle orange-yellow light appeared on Lannia's body, proving that she had no contact with the undead.

The officiating priest turned his head and looked aside.

Lanya and the two people beside her were examined personally by the officiating priest.

In the entire continent, there are only a handful of undead creatures that can deceive a tenth-level priest. Undead creatures at that level all have some pride of their own and prefer to defeat the enemy with their own strength rather than playing these tricks.

"no problem."

A white light shone from the old butler. He was not evil, but he was not kind either. The chief priest frowned, but did not say anything. Most people in this world were like this, neither kind nor evil.

After reacting, Lania breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Reinhardt was fine.

Not to mention people like the old butler who have been working in the royal family for so many years. Such people have not fallen into evil and more or less have some persistence of their own.

The high priest recognized the hilt of the sword, and he approached it cautiously, reciting a prayer.

A ray of divine light condensed in the hands of the high priest, and then shot towards Reinhardt, who had not yet figured out the situation.

The hilt of the sword emitted a scarlet glow under the effect of "Detect Evil". But even without this scarlet glow, everyone present could feel a chill coming from the broken hilt.

Chains appeared from the ground one after another and tied up the hilt of the sword. The high priest took off the badge of the Sun God Cult on his robe, picked up the hilt, and pressed the badge hard on the hilt.

The spell was cast on Reinhardt, and a warm and gentle light shone on him. However, there was a faint scarlet light in this light.

But the high priest looked solemn as he looked at Reinhardt's feet.

There is no doubt that this is an evil object full of malicious intent.

"Get out of the way."

The light flickered, then gradually subsided, the cold aura disappeared, and a simple seal was completed.

"Exorcism."

To be honest, the priest was quite suspicious of this adventurer who came out of nowhere. A level 5 adventurer actually had a bound soul weapon in his hand.

Exorcism will not cause harm to good creatures, but correspondingly, it can cause greater harm to evil. As a third-level divine spell, it can exert the power of a fourth-level spell when facing evil.

"How did you get this?"

The priest looked at the last person, Reinhardt.

Reinhardt was hit by the divine light without dodging. He touched the part that was hit in confusion, and it seemed that he was not hurt at all.

"The hilt of the Death Knight."

"Detect evil."

The high priest heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Reinhardt who had not yet figured out the situation.

There was a broken hilt of a sword.

The high priest could see that Reinhardt didn't seem to know the origin of the thing in his arms.

"I got it during an adventure."

Because of the contract, Reinhardt could not mention Fary, nor could he subjectively do anything to harm Fary.

But the lies were obviously difficult to deceive the officiant.

Those who can become the chief priest of the Sun God Cult must have experienced many battles and are knowledgeable about undead creatures.

"What adventure and where?"

"It's in a small village near the city of Sagat. A necromancer seems to be planning to use this hilt as a medium to summon something..."

Reinhardt was careful to remove Farrell from the story.

"The hilt of this sword is inflicted with 'Isolation from Evil', and you should not be able to cast spells."

The high priest was not easy to fool, he had already realized why he had not noticed the hilt of the sword before.

"When I found the Necromancer, he was already dead. When I got the hilt, it was already like this." What Reinhardt said was true, but he concealed "a little bit" of details.

"What the hell is this?"

Lanya interrupted at the right time, preventing the high priest from asking further questions.

"This is the hilt of Valachi's sword."

Lania quickly dug up the name in her memory.

"Death Knight Valachi?"

She had only seen this name in history books, the commander of the "Dark Dynasty", the twelfth-level Death Knight.

To fight against undead of this level, at least four level 12 humans are needed with perfect coordination.

There are not so many level 12 warriors in the entire kingdom right now.

"The church will buy this hilt. What's your price?"

The high priest turned his attention back to Reinhardt.

No matter what, the Cult of the Sun will recover the hilt and then completely destroy it.

"Three thousand gold coins."

The price of this hilt in Farui's contract was three thousand gold coins, which was much lower than its normal price. After all, Farui was not a devil. This kind of thing was difficult to sell, so he gave it a 10% discount out of his little conscience.

"Yes, you will receive the money tomorrow."

The high priest looked Reinhardt up and down in front of him. Although the price was about 10% off, he was still the first person to actually make an offer to the church.

This actually made the high priest admire him a little. The Sun God Cultists were all straightforward people. If Reinhardt didn't dare to make an offer, the high priest would feel that he was taking advantage of others and would feel uncomfortable.

The high priest turned to look at Lanya beside him, and just as he was about to say something, there was a noise outside the window.

A guard glowed scarlet under the effect of Detect Evil.

The priest and the surrounding guards quickly subdued the traitor, but just as they were about to capture him, the traitor showed a look of pain.

"don't want……"

Before he could finish his words, his body exploded.

The people behind him had no intention of letting him live.

"He was my mother's bodyguard before I was born."

Lanya watched the whole process below from the window.

"It is easy for mortals to fall for some temptations."

The high priest consoled her, saying that it was not Lanya's fault that this happened.

But the consequences remain.

"Anyone who is paying attention should have noticed the undead energy on the hilt just now."

Lanya did not respond and waited for the officiant to continue.

"I will report this matter, and the church will almost certainly step up its involvement, and those who care will also think of this."

"I'll be a target for this."

Lanya knew very well what was going to happen. Those people could not deal with the church, but it was not difficult for them to deal with her within the royal family and the aristocratic system. Unless the church completely ignored its own influence, it could not intervene in the gameplay of this aristocratic system.

"I suggest you leave the capital as soon as possible."

In the eyes of the church, Lannia is just a potential investment target, and the chief priest can only give such advice.

However, it was obvious that the other party's actions were much faster than the officiant had expected.

"Your Highness, His Majesty hopes that you can go and talk to him."

The king's messenger had appeared at the door.
