Wizard Earl

Two reports in the secret documents of Chapter 311

Recalling Hector's confession, Connor opened the internal secret document of the Church of Storms.

Upon opening the document, the first thing that caught Connor's eye was a church investigation report on the Salok Knights. The appearance of this document immediately gave Connor a jolt. Through Hector's confession, he gained a preliminary understanding of the organization that had attacked him. If he remembered correctly, he had never heard of this organization before, let alone had any grudge against it, which led to them sending a demonized knight to kill him!

According to this investigation report, the Salok Knights do exist, and it is indeed a well-known organization in the New World. As Hector said, it attracts formal knights who are eager for strength and hope to change their social class through the guidance of great knights and training resources. However, judging from this investigation report, the Salok Knights that Hector joined and the Salok Knights in the New World are probably not the same organization.

According to Hector's confession, he and the other eleven official knights initially recruited by the Salok Knights were all native to the Empire, and were recruited by the Salok Knights within the Empire. However, the Storm Church investigation report in Connor's possession indicates that the Salok Knights in the New World had stopped recruiting knights from the Empire thirty years ago because of the influx of immigrants from the Empire to the New World. Many official knights of ordinary backgrounds, eager to break down class barriers, came to the Hoy Continent from the Empire! And most importantly, the Salok Knights never had anyone named Giampaolo or Pioli!

Hector said he joined the Salok Knights five years ago, so if the Storm Church's investigation is correct, the Salok Knights that recruited Hector and the other eleven knights should actually be a fake. They used the Salok Knights' name to recruit real knights, but in reality, they should have joined another organization!

Upon seeing this, Connor's heart sank. Poor Hector and the other eleven knights believed until their deaths that they had joined the Salok Knights, never imagining that they had been fooled from the very beginning. But if they weren't the Salok Knights, then who exactly were Pioli and Giampaolo?

The investigation report on the Salok Knights in the document ends here. However, in addition to this investigation report, the secret internal church document provided by Margaret also includes an analysis report by an unsigned author. This analysis report is not about the Salok Knights, but about the demonized knights!

Although it's described as an analysis report, Connor believes it's more of a conjecture—a conjecture about the process by which demonized knights are created! While the report doesn't explicitly state it, Connor thinks the person who wrote it must have somehow learned about the entire process of ordinary, regular knights transforming into demonized knights.

The author of this hypothesis believes that the secret medicine taken by the knights was a substance extracted from magical beasts. The abnormalities that occurred in the knights' bodies after taking the medicine were actually the reaction caused by the substance extracted from the magical beasts being integrated into their bodies. As for the fact that the reactions of each knight were different, the author of this hypothesis also gave his own explanation: the secret medicine taken by each knight, that is, the magical beast substance they took, was different!

As for the strange knight breathing technique and ritual that followed, the author of this hypothesis believes it was an auxiliary means to facilitate the integration of magical beast substances into the knight's body. As for why a formal knight was chosen to perform the entire operation, the author of this hypothesis believes that the reason why this fake "Salok Knights" chose a formal knight to transform into a demonized knight is that becoming a demonized knight requires a very high level of physical fitness. Ordinary people would likely die immediately if they consumed the extracted magical beast substances.

Finally, the author of this hypothesis believes that the current demonized knights are more like experimental subjects. The technology for ordinary knights to become demonized knights is not yet mature, otherwise there wouldn't be so many deaths during the transformation process. In addition, the author believes that the most difficult technical hurdle for ordinary knights to become demonized knights has been overcome. The current technology is immature, but as long as enough data is collected from the experimental subjects and improved, the technology will achieve a breakthrough in a short time, and the mortality rate of ordinary knights transforming into demonized knights will decrease significantly.

After carefully reading the analysis report three times, Connor was deeply shocked. Although the report was unsigned, judging from its confidentiality level, the person who produced it was definitely not an ordinary person within the Storm Church! Therefore, the report's credibility was quite high. As for the section on the secret medicine, Connor largely agreed with the author's ideas. After all, the demonized knight Hector, who had personally taken the "secret medicine," had just told him that he believed it was related to wild beasts!

Connor's recent interrogation of Hector further corroborated another conjecture by the author of this analysis report: the magical substances consumed by the demonized knights were different. At the very least, the secret medicines consumed by Hector and Kovac, who had just attacked Connor, were different. Unlike Kovac, Hector did not have a highly corrosive, blood-like green liquid flowing through his body.

"Margaret, what do you know about Pioli and Giampaolo of the Salok Knights?" Connor closed the Storm Church's secret document about the Demon Knights, took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and asked Margaret in a deep voice. As a knight, he knew very well what a revolutionary upheaval the appearance of Demon Knights would bring to the entire knight world!

Upon hearing Connor's question, Margaret didn't answer directly. Instead, she gave Connor a deep look and asked in return, "That demonized knight actually mentioned those two names to you?"

"Hmm!" Connor nodded heavily and said, "Margaret, you know I'm a psychic wizard. I used some methods to temporarily block the sensory restrictions in his head, so when he said the names of Pioli and Giampaolo, the person who placed those restrictions in his head wouldn't be able to sense them through the sensory restrictions!"
