This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Oh? You don't know who the witch is? Then why would he let you deliver the letter?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows at the knight's shocked expression. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Xiaoyu again.

"Xiaoyu, throw his weapon over here."

One of the tentacles twisted and extended, handing over the three-meter-long gun on the Deinosuchus.

Ye Yiyi switched to the Power, reached out to take the gun, felt the weight that was neither light nor heavy, then looked down at it, his eyes sweeping over the steel gun body and the solemn gun head engraved with strange symbols, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"This weapon looks quite unusual...it must be very important to you, right?"

He smiled at the knight who was silently gritting his teeth with resentment in his eyes.

"Well, let's see what I can learn from this weapon, shall we?"

Then he looked down at the light curtain.

The weapon bestowed upon Royal Knight Adam Campbell as a Knight of the Gold Cup.

After reading the item description thoughtfully, Ye Yiyi looked down at the silent knight and asked tentatively with raised eyebrows.

"Adam Campbell?"

“…” The knight said nothing, his eyes dim.

"He was actually quite shocked," Norsley suddenly interjected, "so much so that he didn't know what expression to make."

"what……"

The knight groaned helplessly, shaking his head with a bitter face as he looked at Norsley.

"I never thought that you, Mr. Psychic, actually have the ability to see into people's hearts."

"That's right, so you're not going to tell me yet?"

Norsley said expressionlessly, "Once he digs out all your secrets, you will be of no value at all... including your companions.

"As you can see, this is already deep in the depression. It makes perfect sense for him to die here."

"I……"

The knight subconsciously looked at the knights who were still hanging in the air by Xiaoyu, his expression hesitant, as if his soft spot was pinched.

He struggled for a moment, looked at Ye Yiyi with helplessness and unwillingness on his face, but finally shook his head stubbornly.

"In that case, please bury me with them..."

"Ah~ You are the most stubborn guy I have ever met."

Ye Yiyi sighed and waved his hand, and Xiaoyu fell from the air, putting all the knights on the ground, and also freed the young knight from his restraints.

"Your Excellency..." The knight was suddenly stunned when he saw this scene.

"I'm not the kind of person who kills good people."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, raised the spear in his hand and said:

"It tells me that you chose reason over law and reason, and as a result, you committed a grave error and were expelled from the Order... Could you tell me what your error was?"

"Your Excellency, you actually know this?"

The knight reacted with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"It was just to protect a maid who accidentally broke a vase from being hanged..."

"That's it?" Ye Yiyi was a little confused. "Then why is your last name Campbell..."

The knight exhaled slightly and replied calmly:

"Dino Campbell, that's my grandfather."

Chapter 397 Wushan Seat

"grandfather?"

When Ye Yiyi heard the knight speak, he was not particularly surprised. Or perhaps he had guessed this possibility after knowing that the other party's last name was also Campbell.

After all, with the other person's personality, it is impossible for an ordinary family to educate him.

But if his grandfather was Dino Campbell and he was born into a noble family, then everything would make sense.

Ye Yiyi pinched his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"Since you're the grandson of a prince, your status in the country should be exceptional. But why are you being punished for showing mercy? Can't your grandfather even handle such a small matter?"

"It was my grandfather himself who issued the order, stripping me of my status as Knight of the Golden Cup," Adam replied softly.

"Ah this?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized,

"I understand. Your grandfather must be a very old-fashioned person. He is extremely strict in following the law. Even if the target is his own offspring, he is still ruthless and would kill his own relatives for the sake of justice."

Unexpectedly, the knight shook his head and denied Ye Yiyi's statement.

"No, that's not the case. Grandfather is a very kind and humane man. He has done as much as I have in similar matters. I am influenced by him, so I show leniency in some insignificant matters."

"Is there such a thing?"

If that was the case, Ye Yiyi would not understand again.

Since Dino often does this kind of thing, it means that he still has status as a prince. As his grandson, it is not surprising that Adam has developed this kind of character under the influence of his environment.

But why was it okay for Dino to do this, but Adam was punished?

"Your grandfather is displeased with you? Does he have a grudge against you?"

"?"

Adam was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Ye Yiyi blankly.

"Don't be impatient, just make a joke to liven up the atmosphere."

Ye Yiyi waved his hands and continued, seeing the knight's slightly embarrassed expression:

"I don't know much about your Campbell affairs. I just know that you are a country governed by an inhumane legal system. Your grandfather was the Son of the Golden Cup, so he has special privileges. Could this be the reason?"

"That's not the reason."

Adam shook his head with mixed emotions. "The relationships involved in this matter are very complicated. In short, my pardon was orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives. My grandfather removed me from the Knights of the Golden Cup in order to protect me."

"Oh, fishing."

Ye Yiyi understood, "Just tell me the purpose of these 'certain people' doing this."

"Using my identity as a springboard, and arguing that the orthodoxy and sanctity of legal principles cannot be defiled, they attempted to deprive my grandfather of his title of Son of the Golden Cup and his position as Grand Master of the Knights."

"That's not the goal." Ye Yiyi shook his head. "The goal is what we have to do after stripping you of your title and position."

Adam reacted, thought for a moment, and then answered solemnly.

"Bring the Knights of the Golden Cup under the control of the Church of the Holy Nineteenth, and begin the third reclamation of the Deep Depression."

"Uh?"

Cultivate deep depressions?

Ye Yiyi was stunned when he heard this. Why was this different from what he had heard from Aidan before?

Wasn’t it Dino Campbell who initiated the first two reclamation projects of the depression, as well as the upcoming third reclamation?

However, the first two attempts failed, and the third attempt was blocked by the Campbell Royal Family and the Church of Saint Nineteen, so Dino gave up the idea of ​​continuing to cultivate the land.

But from what Adam said, how come he has put the cart before the horse?

"Wait a minute!"

He suddenly realized that the first half of Adam's sentence was his real purpose.

Bring the Knights of the Golden Cup under the control of the Holy Nineteenth Church!

"Could it be that those who are trying to use you as bait are the Church of the Holy Nineteen?"

As soon as Ye Yiyi finished speaking, Adam's expression immediately became lost.

Seeing his expression change, Ye Yiyi naturally knew that she was right.

"The Church of the Holy Nineteenth...is no longer the same church as before."

Adam let out a long breath. "Grandfather once told me that the Church of the Holy Nineteenth was suspected to have been invaded by some special entity. From the grassroots priests to the Pope, everything is different from before."

"What kind of difference?"

Adam thought about it carefully and said hesitantly:

"It's like he's become a completely different person."

"A changed person? Could it be that he was hypnotized?"

Ye Yiyi was thinking about the possibility of hypnosis when he heard Adam continue:

"In addition to this, the Church of the Holy Nineteen is also secretly trafficking people. They distort legal principles, forcibly convicting innocent people as criminals, and then entrusting them to mercenary groups to transport them abroad."

"This……"

Ye Yiyi suddenly understood, turned to look at the silent Norse and said:

"That's right, it's the Curse Controller."

"Curse Master?" Adam looked up in confusion.

"Is such that……"

Ye Yiyi let out a long breath and briefly explained to the other party the existence of the Curse Master and the experiments underground in Panya Dragon City.

"Actually... there is such a thing?"

Adam's eyes widened in shock.

"Even the Holy Nineteenth Church couldn't resist their infiltration?"

"I'm not surprised at all." Ye Yiyi shook his head, "With their abilities, it would be easy for them to secretly control a country.

"But what I don't understand is why the Curse Master deliberately bypassed Dino instead of trying to make him one of their own?"

Ye Yiyi said and threw the question to the knight.

Adam was stunned for a while, then replied with a wry smile:

"This is probably because Grandfather is very strong."

"Very strong?" Ye Yiyi became interested. "How strong?"

"It's Poker." Adam pointed at the Deinosuchus, which was suspended in the air by the little fish. "When it was still an egg, my grandfather single-handedly subdued its parents and gave it to me as a coming-of-age gift."

"Oh? Subduing two Deinocrocodiles in a one-on-one fight? Is that considered super powerful?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows.

"They were two Deinosuchus, each over 20 meters long, and Grandfather defeated them with just two punches. He wasn't even wearing armor!"

"Two punches? One for each?" Ye Yiyi suddenly widened his eyes and subconsciously looked at Norsley.
