He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

"The stench of filth has vanished, and my nose can finally smell fragrance. My child, you have done well this time. The sugar-coated bullets of heresy are not delicious; they smell of corruption. Stick to your principles, and only then can the glory of the Golden Throne shine in this world of heresy!"

[Quest Rewards: +0.3 Free Attribute Points, 300 Imperial Honor Points!]

……

[Ding ding ding! Khorne's quest: Blood Sacrifice completed!]

[This was truly a perfect blood sacrifice! The splattering blood was the most beautiful sight in the world, and the sound of skulls shattering was the most joyful symphony! The great Khorne was very pleased with your performance!]

"Foolish Nurgle, how dare you let such a weak Nurgle spirit into my arena! You're just asking for death! Such a weak ant should be killed. That stench is a waste of air to keep it alive!"

[Mission Rewards: Khorne Affection +8, Khorne Pleasure x300!]

“A little Arocher is quite valuable.”

Luo Xia looked at the system panel and was overjoyed. This was a huge profit!

Although 30,000 gold pounds and three high-level potions are valuable, they are nothing compared to the rewards given by the Great Emperor and Brother Khorne.

So no matter how much the two men in black robes offered, Rorschach would not let Arocher, this heretic of Nurgle, go.

"However, according to the law of heresy aggregation, the entire Crimson Church is probably a heretical sect of Nurgle."

Luo Xia pondered to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

well.

The real surprise is here!

As Rorschach lifted the Storm Sword from the ground, he left the arena amidst cheers from the audience.

……

Inside the penthouse suite, Luo Xia saw Ilya lounging on the sofa, looking somewhat tired, her previous relaxed and teasing demeanor gone.

Upon seeing Luo Xia enter, the scarred man beside him brought over two glasses of juice, then respectfully withdrew and closed the door.

Upon seeing this, Rorschach immediately removed his brass mask, sat opposite Ilya, picked up a glass of juice, and drank it all in one gulp.

His throat was parched after shouting for so long.

"Is that Scarlet Merchant Guild really that strong?"

After finishing his drink, Luo Xia glanced at Ilya's small, bare feet, which were bare after she took off her boots, and asked slowly.

"Of course, this Crimson Merchant Guild is very mysterious. No one knows their origins, only that their power is enormous and they can easily obtain high-level resources from the abyss."

"Some even speculate that they already have the capability to establish a base in the abyss."

Ilya looked at the ceiling, crossed her legs, and swung them back and forth as she explained to Rorschach:

"Furthermore, they possess a wealth of intelligence resources, which is why many forces cooperate with the Crimson Merchant Guild..."

"That's why we let them go."

As she spoke, Ilya sat up, her wine-red eyes fixed on Rorschach, her expression very serious:

"So be careful lately. You killed one of their people in public and embarrassed them. Given the way these underground forces operate, they will definitely retaliate against you."

"Even if you have the identity of a war deacon, they are not afraid. In the meantime, you should focus on your training at the War Spire. It is definitely the safest place in the entire Holy Empire."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia grinned, showing no sign of backing down.

"What a joke! Do you think I, the invincible Khorne, am afraid of these rats who can only hide in the underground world and cannot see the light of day?"

"If you dare to seek revenge, that's perfect. I'm currently short of a few extraordinary knights' lives to offer as a blood sacrifice to the Blood God."

Ilya was shocked to hear Rorschach's words.

She thought she had a good understanding of Rorschach's arrogance.

But at this moment, looking at Rorschach's fearless eyes, Ilya realized...

The other party really isn't afraid of anything!

"Never mind, I'll handle this. You should focus on preparing for the Winter Hunting Cup in a week."

"That will be the true golden age of our Northern Territory. As long as you achieve good results, you will truly come into the sights of the highest levels of the Northern Territory. At that time, even if the Crimson Merchant Guild wants to touch you, they will have to consider the wrath of the Empire."

Ilya stood up, picked up her glass of red wine, raised it to Rorschach, and smiled:

"It's time to let the name of Khorne burn brightly in the North."

Chapter 95 Only Strength is Truly Trustworthy (Please read on, please vote, thank you!!!)

In the southern district of Adelaide, in an extremely secluded, dark alley.

The two black-robed figures who emerged from the Night Owl Arena were moving swiftly through the shadows.

"Damn Khorne! Damn Ilya!"

"Arocher is dead, and our supply of test subjects has been cut off. The Church will definitely hold us responsible!"

The younger man in the black robe muttered curses under his breath, his tone filled with resentment.

As a super knight, to have his dignity trampled on by a mere quasi-knight was undoubtedly a humiliation.

"Keep your voice down, are you afraid others won't hear you?!"

Hearing the young man in black robes curse, the leader of the black-robed men let out a low growl, then gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Khorne must die! We must contact the bishop immediately and add Khorne to the assassination list!"

"Based on Khorne's life magnetic field, I can sense that he is incredibly young, which makes the talent he displays terrifying!"

"Within three years, Khorne will surely grow into a major threat to our religion. If we cannot corrupt him, then we must eliminate him in advance!"

Hearing the words of the leader of the black-robed men, the younger one also sneered, "Since that's the case, then let's settle it in this Winter Hunting Cup. Khorne will definitely participate. If he doesn't accept the corruption and transformation of the cult, then..."

Before the words were finished, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows ahead in the dark alley.

Taylor, dressed casually with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, was watching the two of them with a smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Luo Xia is really my lucky star. He can get merits delivered to his door while he's just out for a walk."

Taylor exhaled a smoke ring, looked at the two men who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and asked in a rough voice:

"Gentlemen, how about we sit on my turf for a while?"

"Damn it, it's the Great Knight!"

Sensing the extreme danger signal emanating from the life magnetic field, the two men in black robes were immediately horrified and turned to flee without hesitation.

Danger, real danger!

The invisible life force emanating from this man was even stronger than that of Ilya!

"Heh, you didn't dare attack me when you saw me, and instead chose to run away?"

Taylor sneered, choosing not to give chase. Instead, he took a deep drag of his cigarette, flicked the half-smoked cigarette butt away, sending it flying in a red arc before it landed and burned in the wind.

boom!

The next second, Taylor's own life magnetic field began to rotate invisibly.

A blood-red magnetic field, solidified into a tangible form, suddenly erupted, causing the brick walls on both sides of the dark alley to crack inch by inch under the impact of this violent magnetic field.

The two men in black robes, who had already run quite a distance, suddenly stopped and slowly retreated, their faces ashen.

"Life magnetic field transfer..."

"You are a high-ranking Grand Knight!"

The leader of the black-robed men's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately tried to unleash his own life magnetic field to resist.

However, his life magnetic field as a proper knight was like a candle flame in a storm before it could even be lit, and it was scattered by the wind.

"You got it right, but there's no reward."

Taylor snapped his fingers, looked at the two of them with a smile, and asked again:

"So, you two, how do you plan to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, the two men in black robes exchanged a glance. Seeing the determination in each other's eyes, they immediately and without hesitation shrank their own life magnetic fields into their bodies, intending to directly detonate their life sparks.

"Wrong answer."

Seeing this, Taylor shook his head, and the violent life magnetic field suddenly pressed down.

The next moment, the life magnetic fields of the two black-robed men shattered, and the bones in their bodies were completely broken by the violent pressure. They collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"When did a cult appear in Adelaide City?"

Taylor muttered to himself as he walked forward, lifting the two men up one in each hand like dead dogs. He glanced at their black robes, then looked at Rorschach, who was slowly emerging from the dark alley of the Night Owl Arena, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"How dare you threaten our precious darling, and even dare to run some kind of cult in Adelaide City..."

"Hmph, ignorance is bliss."

"Let me see who you really are..."

……

"These guys really haven't given up their evil intentions."

After many twists and turns, Rorschach finally realized that the 'rat' that had been watching him from the shadows had disappeared.

Although he successfully shook off his pursuers, Rorschach was not in a good mood.

After all, he had truly provoked a powerful force this time.

It's even possible that the other party has thoroughly investigated you, while you don't even know what the other party looks like or what powerful figures are in their organization.

"We're still too weak."

Back in his luxurious penthouse at the War Spire, Rorschach stood by the window, looking out at the city of Adelaide under the night sky, and clenched his fists.

Although Luo Xia was able to defeat a formal knight as a quasi-knight, he was only a low-level knight. When facing the two mid-level and high-level knights, even the suppression of their life magnetic fields made it difficult for Luo Xia to resist.

If it weren't for its superior stats, it might have been suppressed and defeated.

"Moreover, I also have influence. Although I currently hold the title of War Church Reserve Deacon, it is merely a title and status, and I have no real power at all."

"There are some things we need to investigate and understand, so we'll have to go to Gwen and Taylor."

"After all, I'm just a genius right now, not a real powerhouse with any status."
