This knight is too perfect

Chapter 75 Taboo Poison Identification
"waste!"

In the private estate of Remi, the eldest son of Count Randy.

After kicking Darren away, Remi sat back on the big soft bed behind him with a gloomy face.

Not far from him, Darren's body rolled on the ground like a ball for several times before finally stopping.

Looking at Darren who was dawdling on the ground for a long time, Remi soon became impatient and said, "Why are you still lying on the ground? Stand up."

After hearing Remi's urging, Darren immediately dragged his body, which was already seriously injured and had new injuries, and climbed up from the ground tremblingly.

He lowered his head, like a puppy who had made a mistake and was afraid of his owner, and did not dare to look directly into Remi's eyes.

Seeing Darren's cowardly look, Remi's already uncontrollable anger became even more intense.

He pulled Stella, who was standing next to him, into his arms.

Darren, who was standing not far away, with his upper body wrapped in bandages and his face pale, did not dare to complain at all.

On the big bed, Remi hugged Stella and said in a cold tone: "Darren, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"And now you have not only failed my expectations of you, but also made that country bumpkin from the Thorn Territory gain the favor of many nobles."

"Although this does not directly affect the plans of Ian and that sinister villain, it also makes the originally simple things begin to become complicated."

"Darren, Darren, how do you think I should punish you for causing me such great losses?"

Hearing the coldness in Remi's calm tone.

Darren, who was standing below, gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Remi, please... give me another chance."

"And this time, I will definitely not let you down."

After saying that, Darren knelt down and put his head on the carpet in the room, looking extremely humble.

Remi just listened to this as if he heard a joke, and said in a mocking tone: "Give you a chance? Why do you think you can gain my trust and give you another chance after failing once?"

Faced with Remi's sharp question, Darren was completely unable to answer.

Because he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.

Fortunately, Stella, who was held in Remi's arms, spoke at this time.

"Lord Remi, you are the future heir to the title of Emerald Earl and the great man who will rule the entire Emerald Territory."

"And a big shot like you would not be stingy with your mercy, for example, you would give a loser like Darren a chance to redeem himself, right?"

Listen to Stella's compliments in her seductive voice.

Remi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he lifted Stella's chin and looked at this charming face up close.

“Oh? It seems that Stella, you little fox, seem to know me very well.”

In response, Stella looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes, and took the initiative to hug Remi's body, lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "Of course, and my understanding of Lord Remi... is not limited to this."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Remi burst into laughter.

Then he picked up Stella like a princess and threw her on the bed.

"If it weren't for her, a waste like you who wasted opportunities wouldn't even be given a chance. Not throwing you into that dirty and dim 'workshop' to become the material for making 'Dream Water' would already be my greatest kindness to you."

"Okay, go away, then go find the Blood Shark Gang at Wall Wharf, and help me bring the latest batch of goods back safely from the dock."

"If you can't even do this little thing, then you will no longer receive my mercy after wasting precious opportunities so many times. Do you understand?"

After hearing Remi's words, Darren, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed continuously and then left the room on his own initiative.

The expression on Darren's face was uncertain, and his eyes revealed a strong hatred.

But out of fear of Remi and other reasons, he finally chose to hide his hatred and quietly left Remi's manor.

In the dark night, Darren staggered out of the manor like a miserable, wounded dog.

Not only is he now disliked by his owner, but he can only return to the cold doghouse alone and lick his wounds.

And he hopes that after his wounds have healed, he can regain his owner's favor through his hard performance.

Poor and sad...

At the same time, in Silver Moon Manor where Lilysa was.

"Your Highness Lilisa, you're looking for me?"

Rhine came to the study and greeted Lilitha politely while she was reading at the desk.

When she saw Rhine appear, Lilitha put down the "Knight Novel" in her hand and pushed a parchment scroll in front of Rhine.

"Look, this is the gift Miss Haley just sent over."

Rhine picked up the parchment scroll curiously and read its contents carefully.

And when Rhine finished reading the contents of the parchment.

He suddenly felt a pure 'source of destiny' flowing into his body.

And directly increased his destiny essence by 2 points.

The most important thing is that these '2 points of destiny essence' directly affect his essence limit.

His current limit of destiny essence reached the level of '15 points'. With only '15 points' more, he could reach the limit of the main essence of a Black Iron-rank Extraordinary and meet one of the conditions for promotion to the Bronze rank.

"You feel it."

Rhine nodded and asked Lilith curiously, "Your Highness, how come I, who only read part of the 'Extraordinary Path of the Firebringer', was able to obtain the rare Essence of Destiny directly from it?"

"You know, I have read the extraordinary path of the Knight of Destiny before, but this situation has never occurred."

Lilisha gave an explanation for this.

"That's because the extraordinary knowledge of the Black Iron Rank has not yet reached the level of 'taboo', so reading this knowledge will not have any effect on people."

"But it's different starting from the Bronze Level, because all the extraordinary knowledge starting from this stage has begun to involve the 'authority of God'."

"Therefore, even if one only reads this forbidden knowledge, one can truly feel the power of the gods and gain something from it."

"And this gain...is not just about knowledge."

Hearing this, Rhine immediately understood the principle behind it.

Rhine quickly asked, "Doesn't that mean that Extraordinary people only need to read a lot of forbidden knowledge of the same source essence to harvest a huge amount of main source essence without putting in a lot of effort?"

Hearing this, Lilisha immediately laughed.

"Rhine, what you said is indeed common in the extraordinary world today, and it is also a common method used by many extraordinary organizations to train their members. But do you know the consequences of mortals looking directly at the sun for a long time?"

Rhine was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood the deep meaning of Lilitha's words.

"Your Highness means that if a Beyonder reads this forbidden knowledge for a long time, not only will that knowledge not bring them any benefit, but it will hurt them, and they will even be unable to read this forbidden knowledge again, just like a mortal who looks directly at the sun for a long time and is eventually blinded by the sun's glare?"

Lilisha nodded: "Yes, the reason why taboos are taboos is because they contain dangers that ordinary people cannot predict."

"Since this kind of situation is caused by reading forbidden knowledge, the Extraordinary World calls it 'Forbidden Poison Knowledge'."

"There are many hidden dangers of being infected with the 'Forbidden Poison', and the two most common ones are:

As she spoke, Lilitha raised two fingers.

"The first type is source infection. This happens when a Beyonder reads forbidden knowledge for a long time, causing the source in their body to be gradually affected by the power of the gods, resulting in irreversible deformation of the body."

"During this process, the Beyonders themselves don't think there is anything wrong at all. In other words, they think this is a normal 'phenomenon'."

"The second side effect of reading forbidden knowledge for a long time is a derivative of the first situation. It is the cognitive change caused by source material infection, which is what we commonly call... corruption."

Lilitha stood up, walked to Rhine, and took back the parchment scroll that recorded part of the 'Extraordinary Path of the Bronze-Rank Firebringer' from Rhine's hand.

"The so-called 'degeneration' is when the Beyonder's cognition is completely changed, causing their soul to undergo irreversible deformation while their physical body begins to deform."

"When the Beyonder's body and soul are completely assimilated by the 'poison' contained in the forbidden knowledge, the Beyonder at this time can no longer be called a 'human' in the conventional sense, but a monster that only obeys the 'God's Gospel'."

"This is the origin of the saying that mortals cannot look directly at gods."

After that, Lilysa handed another book to Rhine and told him, "Forget about the forbidden knowledge about the Firebringer you just read, then finish reading the book in your hand and write me a review of at least 800 words."

Hearing this, Rhine immediately lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand.

The cover of the book was a special coin standing upright, with the front side white and the back side black.

But if you look at it from another angle, the upright coin on the cover actually looks like the "pupil" of some creature.

As for the name of the book, it is... "Mora's Notes - Notes after watching 'Weaving Gold Coins'"

Read a book based on someone else's review of the book, and then write your own review of it.

Faced with Lilith's "nesting doll"-like request to herself.

Rhine actually felt a certain sense of 'absurdity' for a moment.

But he could feel that Lilysa was doing this for his own good.

And he had vaguely guessed the purpose of Lilitha's action.

Because if the effect of 'Forbidden Poison Identification' is really as Lilitha just said.

Even if Rhine was infected by the "forbidden poison" at the moment, he would have no way of detecting it.

Because his cognition has been changed by the 'taboo of poison identification'.

And this change will also be reflected in the "reviews" he will write later.

So while Lilitha seemed to be assigning him a task, she was actually checking Rhine's 'mental state'.

Thinking of this, Rhine immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Rhine will conscientiously complete the task you assigned."

Rhine is still as smart as ever.

Although Lilitha has said many similar compliments to Rhine.

But at this moment, she couldn't help but say, "Rhine, you are indeed special. Your talent in Extraordinary is the only one among all the peers I have met that can be compared with me."

"But you, who possess this kind of talent, surprisingly do not have any extraordinary bloodline."

"In other words, your extraordinary talent may be superior to mine in some sense."

"Rhine, I'm already looking forward to the moment when you officially step into the bronze realm and have a preliminary glimpse of the power of the gods."

"I think that on that day, you will surely shine brighter than you do now."
