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

Ye Yiyi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky blue knight, and whispered:

"You mean to say that without the Dark Knight Master, I can't open this door?"

"...At least in the five years I've been on duty in the city, the gate has never been opened by anyone alone. Even if it's to imprison monsters or criminals, Master Dado and his knights must be present in person."

"Heh~"

Ye Yiyi chuckled, reached out and stroked the dung beetle on his shoulder, and the cosmic light immediately spread out.

In a moment, he took out the Birth of the Messiah and turned it into an arm guard hidden under his long sleeves. He raised his palm and pointed it at the door, performing the "mechanism drive"

As the Sky Blue Knight looked bewildered, the mechanism inside the steel gate turned, slowly opening the gate outwards.

"what?"

"Is it really open?!"

"Mister Michaela is amazing! How on earth did he do it?"

"Could it be that everything he said was true? Master Daduo really..."

"If this is true, then Master Dado is in big trouble! Secretly imprisoning a fellow knight is a violation of the chivalric creed!"

The knights who were watching not far behind him all gasped in surprise, and all kinds of words of surprise, praise, and gloating were heard.

Just as Timothy said, these knights respect the strong the most.

Compared to Master Daduo, Ye Yiyi in front of him is undoubtedly stronger!

Listening to the sound in his ears, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but think of the two dragon-clad white-feathered knights he had faced before.

Including Bai Yu, their attitude towards themselves is exactly the same as described in the creed.

In other words, the chivalric creed of the Knight Kingdom is most likely a chivalric creed passed down from ancient times and observed by the White Feather Knights.

"call……"

He exhaled lightly, thanked the gate, glanced at the knight beside him, and walked into the gate without looking back.

"This……"

The Sky Blue Knight came back to his senses from shock and confusion, staring blankly at Ye Yiyi and the Highlander's backs, feeling a little at a loss.

Now that the door is open, what are they going to do?

The so-called truth, whether true or false, can be known at a glance.

Could it be that everything that Sir Michaela said is true?

Did Master Daduo really put Soliuya, whom he regarded as his own daughter, into the dungeon?

But how is this possible?

He stood there in a daze, lost in thought, not knowing how long, when he suddenly heard a shout from behind.

"Master Daduo is here!"

He reacted and looked back quickly, and saw Master Daduo with a gloomy face leading a group of fully armed dark knights.

This master of the Dark Knight was over fifty years old, and his face looked old, but he could not hide his sharpness, yet he looked like a young man in his twenties.

At this moment, he looked at the open dungeon door, his expression becoming even more gloomy.

Then he looked at the approaching Sky Blue Knight and said coldly, "Knight Field, what on earth have you done?"

"You allowed an outsider to invade the prison, kill his fellow knights, and snatch away important criminals? You didn't even dare to stop him, and let him leave!"

"Knight Field, are you still a knight? Do you still believe in the chivalric creed?"

"Master Dado! I want to ask you this question too!!"

Although Master Dado has the title of Knight Master, it is only a reward for his achievements, not a guarantee that the other party is stronger than him.

Therefore, facing the questioning, the Sky Blue Knight was not afraid at all and said coldly:

"Where is Butterfly Knight Soliuya now? Is she in that dungeon?"

"The God-killing Magician—Lord Michaela—has come personally, claiming you've been exposed to a curse and imprisoned a knight like him!"

"Who is that gentleman? How could he defame you for no reason?"

"So, did you imprison Soliuya?"

"God-killing magician..."

Master Daduo's expression changed with shock, and then became cold and ferocious. Facing the knight's questioning, he did not answer, but just muttered to himself.

"Damn it, why did you have to get involved in this matter..."

"Master Dado! What do you mean by this?"

Knight Field frowned and asked sharply.

"What I mean is, Knight Field, you must die here today to prevent the news from leaking..."

Master Daduo looked up with a deep gaze, and a purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Knight Field felt dizzy, his brain suddenly felt heavy, and his whole body felt weak.

At this moment, a ball of black mist suddenly jumped up from behind Master Dado, and turned into a black man in the air. He held a ferocious heavy sword and chopped down heavily, splitting Knight Field into two pieces.

"Go ahead, don't leave any one behind."

Master Daduo looked directly at the dungeon door and spoke in a low voice.

A large amount of pitch-black fog leaped out from the cloak behind him, transforming into a large number of black humanoid figures that swept over to cooperate with the dark knights and launched a bloody massacre on the knights in the prison.

"Stop! Who are you?!"

"Dado! What on earth are you doing! Aa ...

"Traitor! You really have surrendered to the curse! Dado...you traitor!"

"..."

Soon, all the knights in the prison, including the prisoners who were still incarcerated, were slaughtered by the dark ones.

Master Daduo turned a deaf ear to this and stood alone in front of the gate with his back to the sea of ​​corpses and blood, staring into the darkness inside the gate with a complicated and tangled look in his eyes.

"As expected... I still can't escape..."

He murmured sadly and stepped into the depths of the gate.

"Let's go and meet that God Slayer..."

Chapter 552 "Machine Soul" and Breaking into the Dungeon.

"Sir Michaela, it seems those knights didn't follow us."

"It doesn't matter. Even if they come, I don't expect them to be of any help."

On the dim downhill slope, Ye Yiyi walked in front with the crescent moon above his head, followed closely by the Highlander Timothy, moving forward under the illumination of the dung beetle's spiritual fire.

After opening the dungeon door, Ye Yiyi didn't say anything to the knights. He just left a "mark" on the sky blue knight and entered the door.

He had no intention of proving to the knights that what he said was true, because the strong do not need to prove themselves.

He left the description mainly because he thought the knight's thoughts were quite "dangerous", so he just made a mark in advance.

But it is undeniable that the thoughts of the Sky Blue Knight are very likely the truest thoughts in the hearts of most knights in the Knight Kingdom.

Respect the strong, but don't fear strong enemies.

Adhere to the chivalric creed, be loyal to your lord, and never betray him no matter what path he chooses or what ideals and ambitions he holds.

Isn’t this a true portrayal of the White Feather Knights ten thousand years ago?

As a result, the kings had different paths and attacked each other, and the knights under their command also obeyed the king's orders and killed their former comrades.

The knights of the Knight Kingdom, as the "successors" of the White Feather Knights, also disregard worldly morals and are full of loyalty. If the top leaders of the Knights Templar turn to the curse, the knights under their command will naturally follow suit.

In other words, they are the most likely to become minions of the curse.

“A huge destabilizing factor.”

Ye Yiyi frowned and thought to himself.

Considering what he experienced along the way, this destabilizing factor might have already turned into a dangerous factor.

And not only the Curse Master had intervened, but even the mysterious "Life Prototype Messenger" was involved.

The "ambassador" that Fei Chong Qing Jian was thinking of was most likely the mastermind behind instructing the Dark Knights to do this.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Timothy and asked.

"Timothy, the Folding Tower of Bonnagu, do you remember this place name?"

"Bonagu's Folding Tower?"

Timothy was stunned for a moment, seemed a little surprised, but nodded.

"I've heard about Bonagu, but that place isn't open to mercenaries... As for the Folding Tower, I don't know."

"Not open to mercenaries?"

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"

"Because Bonagu is an ancient ruin. It is said that it is now the base of the Gray Feather Knights."

"Gray Feather Knight?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows.

What is the relationship between this Gray Feather Knight and the White Feather Knight?

Timothy continued, "The Grey Feather Knights are the guardian knights directly under the Knights of the Round Table. They are said to be elite knights selected from various major knight orders. They were modeled after the Royal Guards of ancient nations. Their primary duty is to guard the many ancient ruins within the Knight Realm."

Are they really imitators of the White Feather Knights?

Ye Yiyi was not too surprised, just a little confused.

Qingjian once said that there was a "Heavenly Worm" in Bonagu. In other words, it was very likely the base of the Worship of the Insects Cult.

But why is the Gray Feather Knight’s base there as well?

Or is it that the Gray Feather Knights are related to the Insect Worship Cult?

What about the Feathered Knight?

He temporarily put aside his doubts and continued:

"So, according to you, Iron Gray City is also one of the ancient ruins. Are there any Gray Feather Knights stationed here?"

"This...I don't know either."

Timothy scratched his head awkwardly.

"I heard about the Gray Feather Knight from my friends when we were drinking..."

"I can't tell how much of it is true and how much is false."

"Too."

Ye Yi nodded and then asked.

"Where is Bonacour?"

"Northeast of the Knight Country, near the Winding Valley."

"Well, after we finish our business here, we'll go there."

Timothy naturally had no objection to this.

Ye Yiyi saved his life twice. For the Highlanders who value friendship and loyalty, this favor is so great that it cannot be repaid. Even if he is asked to die for Ye Yiyi, this big guy probably will not hesitate at all.

Soon they arrived at the end of the downward road, and the crescent signpost in front of Ye Yiyi pointed to the dark hole on the ground in front of him.

"No way?"

Timothy was a little confused. He looked down at the pit under his feet, and his orange-red eyes emitted a puzzled glimmer in the darkness.

"Could it be that the real dungeon is down here? Should we jump down?"

"This is the elevator."

Ye Yiyi said casually, then walked to the edge of the pit and pulled down the metal handle on the wall.
