Seeing the knight shaking his head, Ye Yiyi spoke, and at the same time he took out a necklace and placed it on the table beside him.
"I didn't find your mother's ashes, or rather, there were no ashes at all... but fortunately I found this."
"This is……"
The knight looked at the familiar ruby pendant, and tears suddenly welled up in his wide eyes.
"Mom..." His tone was sad. He picked up the necklace tremblingly, and big tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
Wei Fu looked at this scene in confusion. What did it mean to call the necklace "Mom"?
"Do you want to know the truth?" Ye Yiyi said calmly, "About the 'Incinerator' and the Holy Blood Cult."
"Please tell me, Master Magician!" The knight wiped his tears and spoke sadly but firmly.
"I want to know! I want to know what happened to my mom after she died!"
"Well..." Wei Fu suddenly raised her hand and looked back and forth at the two of them. "It sounds like you two are going to talk about something important. Should I step aside?"
"It's up to you, but I thought you could listen to it. Anyway, starting tomorrow, your life will completely change."
"Ah? Then I'd better listen..."
Ye Yiyi took a deep breath and told the truth about the incinerator and the true face of the Holy Blood Cult one by one.
Not much to say, everything was finished in less than 10 minutes.
But the amount of information contained in it left the two people who were listening dumbfounded.
"real or fake?"
Wei Fu looked up at the ceiling blankly. "I actually thought those priests were pretty nice people. Sometimes they even let me do odd jobs in the church..."
As for the knight himself, the hatred and anger in his eyes were almost overflowing.
"Mr. Magician, are these true?"
His voice was hoarse and he held tightly in his hand the necklace he had given to his mother.
"I don't have to lie to you."
Ye Yiyi took off his knight armor and put on the robe of a Holy Blood priest.
"After tonight, there will be no more Holy Blood Order."
"What are you going to do?"
"Save the hunters first, then kill them."
"I'm here to help."
"You?" Ye Yiyi stopped and looked at him.
"It's to avenge my mother." The knight looked straight at Ye Yiyi, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"My mother worked so hard to live her life. She raised me from an ignorant child to the knight I am today.
"I once swore an oath in front of the statue of the eagle with outstretched wings: I will protect this country, the people here, and my mother.
“Everything I do is to make my mother live a happy life.
“But on the day I became a knight, my mother’s bloodlust flared up.
"But what can I do? Hemophilia is incurable, and the only way to end it is death..."
"..." Wei Fu looked at the knight with a grim expression. As a wanderer, she knew how terrible a hemophilic patient was after the onset of the disease.
That is a madman, a beast, or even a demon who has completely lost his mind and is thirsty for blood!
Ye Yiyi silently felt the anger, sadness and hatred in the knight's words.
The knight shed tears and spoke sadly, "... before I left this morning, she was wearing the necklace I gave her, telling me to be careful on duty, to maintain good relations with my colleagues, and not to anger the Master Knight...
“But when I got home at night, it was too late…
"Right here, I killed her, my mother..."
The knight knelt down in frustration, pressing his forehead to the cold ground, as if repenting for what he had done that day.
"I shouldn't have survived alone...enduring endless suffering and self-blame!"
"Oh..." Ye Yiyi lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"You are too weak. If you seek revenge, you will most likely die."
He said the hurtful truth, and Viv, who was standing beside him, immediately pouted.
"But my heart is already dead!" The knight raised his head and said in a voice almost like a roar.
"Then go and get ready." Ye Yiyi said calmly, "Then wait."
"Waiting for what..." The knight looked at him blankly.
"Wait until I finish the rest of the chores, charge into the upper city, and confront the Archbishop."
Ye Yiyi shook his head, "Now is not the time, the Holy Blood Knights have not been defeated yet, and there are still many Knight Masters.
"They are tough enemies. One encounter will kill you."
“…” The knight did not answer, but stood up and walked into the depths of the room.
"Let's go." He looked at Weifu, "Take me to Red Street."
"What about him?" Wei Fu looked at the knight's desolate back.
"I've said what I need to say. If he doesn't listen to me, his death will be in vain."
"I understand what you mean, Master Magician."
The knight suddenly returned to the living room, holding the Eagle Claw Knight's helmet in his right hand and a necklace in his left hand.
"Please accept this." He handed over the necklace.
Ye Yiyi looked down and found that this was not the one he gave to the knight, but a necklace inlaid with sapphires.
"I bought this from a merchant in a foreign land. It has the same magical powers as the one I gave to my mother."
Tears were still streaming down the knight's face, but he forced himself to smile.
“I originally planned to give this necklace to my future wife, but now it is no longer worth giving away.
"I hope the magical power of this necklace can be of use to you, Master Magician."
"All right……"
Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment and took the necklace.
【Focus on gemstone necklaces】
Item Description: A unique necklace inlaid with small sapphires.
Can slightly increase the upper limit of concentration value.
A jeweled necklace given by a knight determined to die.
The knight, no longer hoping for the future, is ready to meet his mother.
"I'll accept it as a reward for retrieving your relics." Ye Yiyi said, then walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Wei Fu hurriedly followed.
The knight watched them walk into the storm, then returned to his room, put on the Eagle Claw Knight's armor, and put the ruby necklace around his neck.
He sat quietly in front of the door, holding a sword and shield, letting the fire of revenge burn in his chest, waiting for the time of revenge to come.
Chapter 93: Red Street Plasma Prison (Updated 9/23)
Walking along the dark alleys and avoiding the patrolling Holy Blood Knights along the way, under the leadership of Wei Fu, Ye Yiyi soon arrived at Red Street.
Hiding in the dark alley, Ye Yiyi looked out.
Compared to Maple Leaf Street where the knights live, this place is much more complicated.
This is a winding main mountain road that spans two building complexes. It is centered on a giant circular flower bed and is surrounded by many tall buildings.
Looking up again, these tall buildings and several buildings that are not on the same plane form a three-story stepped structure.
At a glance, the staircase forming this building is several hundred meters high.
There are also different buildings connected to each other, and complex staircases leading to different levels.
You can imagine how lively this place would be on weekdays.
However, there was a curfew now, and the bustling scene of Red Street could not be seen. Ye Yiyi could only see garbage scattered everywhere, the dark tower standing in the heavy rain, and the Holy Blood Knights patrolling around the flower beds.
"Is this Red Street? It's not even red."
He looked around and couldn't help but complain.
"But there are no sparrows on the freckles." Wei Fu added silently.
"You're right. How did the name Red Street come about?"
"Because of the male prostitute."
Wei Fu thought for a moment and replied, "There's a very famous male brothel here called 'Red'. Later, various brothels opened here, so it became known as Red Street."
"???"
Ye Yiyi looked at Wei Fu in confusion.
"Why are there so many male prostitution parlors here? Do people in the Principality like male prostitution so much?"
"I don't know. I've never been to a whore."
"You don't have to emphasize that you haven't been to a prostitute."
Wei Fu's eyes widened. "But I really haven't been a whore, and I'm not emphasizing this!"
"Isn't there a normal restaurant here?"
"Yes." Wei Fu pointed to one of the tall buildings. "There's a bar over there. It's a novelty opened by an Imperial. I remember I came to join in the fun on the opening day."
"Join in the fun? How?"
"Come and have some free food. The Imperials call this an opening ceremony. I don't quite understand it, but there are a lot of long tables outside, and there are free drinks and food.
"It is said that the Archbishop of the Holy Blood Order was also here that day, but I was so busy eating that I didn't see him."
"The Archbishop also prostitutes? Is it a little boy?"
"Huh?" Weifu looked strange. "That's a bar, not a brothel."
"alright."
Ye Yiyi nodded slightly, but still became interested in the archbishop's personal quirks.
Maybe I can use it to attack him then.
"Where is the plasma prison?"
"That's up there." Wei Fu pointed upwards.
Ye Yiyi looked up and saw a building built on the third level of stairs.
"so tall?"
"We're on the lower level, so it's obviously higher up when we look up," Wei Fu said. "We can take a detour. Instead of going up the main mountain path, we can take the small paths among the surrounding buildings. There shouldn't be many patrols there."
"Then lead the way."
Wei Fu got up and walked deeper into the alley, where she took a staircase leading upwards.
After a while, Ye Yiyi grabbed her and shrank into a corner.
A Holy Blood Knight carrying a large spear suddenly walked out from the path next to the upper stairs.
The Holy Blood Knight glanced at the stairs below and found nothing unusual, then turned back and walked up the stairs.
"It seems like there's only one person." Ye Yiyi thought.
"You hide first, I'll be back soon." He instructed Wei Fu, then cast [Silent] and walked towards the top of the stairs along the corner of the wall.
The Holy Blood Knight's ears were filled with the whistling sound of wind and rain. He did not notice that someone had sneaked up in the dark and continued to walk upwards on his own.
Ye Yiyi came to the path where the Holy Blood Knight had walked, but did not rush up. Instead, he secretly glanced at the side of the path.
