NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43: How did I, an Evil God, become a Holy Son?
Many members of the Knight Order were somewhat excited.
They had caught a big fish!
Not a candidate Holy Son, but a "wild" cultivator with the aptitude of a Holy Son?
Then... the value of this guy named Sivis was different.
If he were a candidate Holy Son, he would be a resource of the Papal See and have nothing to do with themselves and the like.
But if a person with such pure the power of holy light could be incorporated into their own family, it would be a huge profit — the family that presents a Holy Son to the Papal See is bound to receive generous rewards.
The Holy Son himself can also improve the family's bloodline!
Sivis was like a piece of fragrant meat, making everyone extremely eager!
They just wanted to intimidate him first and capture him.
They have taken a fancy to me??
As an old - time player of Gandaniar, Sivis still knew all kinds of things within the Papal See.
He suddenly realized that he had become a sought - after person.
In addition, except for the Holy Maiden Werner, most people couldn't see through the Evil God aura on him.
That is to say...
When facing the people of the Papal See, I not only don't need to panic now, but can also make use of their power?
Vikalina stepped forward subtly and stood in front of Sivis like a hen protecting her chicks: "Ignore these people."
"It doesn't matter if they are colleagues of the Papal See or not."
"I presume that you must have an extremely kind and sincere heart, as well as the determination to protect the world and right all wrongs, to possess such a beautiful light?" She looked expectant.
Sivis thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"I think I'm just an ordinary person, at most a little better than other nobles."
He expressed his true self - assessment.
Whether before or after time - traveling, Sivis thought he was a selfish person.
He neither wanted to hide this nor could he hide it.
Sivis was not an actor who could perfectly pretend to be another persona.
And even though Vikalina didn't have Werner's near - mind - reading perception ability, she was still extremely perceptive.
In daily life, it's not easy to deceive her through pretense.
Sivis just wanted to use his mastery of the pure the power of holy light to reassure Vikalina and prevent her from suspecting him too early.
I still can't defeat her now!
It's not that easy to really deceive her completely.
"Currently, the resources to transform Werner into a Guardian haven't been fully collected. I don't need to rush to deal with this female knight in front of me. Sooner or later, she will check my territory, and then I can slowly find a way to 'deal with' her..."
Sivis thought that rather than unstable deception and misdirection, it would be better to capture her like he planned to do with Werner, use some drugs, and then carry out some psychological offensive and defensive battles to force Vikalina to yield...
"..."
Vikalina's expression froze.
She could sense that Sivis's words at this moment were quite sincere.
This young man named Sivis from the Daister family didn't know himself why he possessed such pure the power of holy light, but he was by no means...
A kind - hearted person who shared her ideals, wanted to follow the religious doctrines, and protect the world and justice.
As for the self - evaluation of being "a little better than a normal noble", Vikalina didn't really care.
She knew how crazy the nobles could be. A little less crazy was still crazy, wasn't it?
Vikalina wasn't unworldly either. She knew that most people would more or less beautify themselves when describing themselves.
That is to say...
Sivis...
Wasn't the person she was looking for.
She felt as if she had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and the joy in her heart shrank bit by bit.
She had thought she had found a like - minded partner, but now it seemed that the other party was probably similar to these members of the Knight Order around her...
In an instant, Vikalina felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Compared to having no hope.
What was more annoying was that hope had arisen only to be dashed!
Some were happy while some were sad. Vikalina looked dejected, but many members of the Knight Order instantly recovered from the annoyed expressions they had when Vikalina interrupted them just now, and all looked pleasantly surprised.
This wasn't a Holy Son, but an ordinary person who had mastered the pure the power of holy light!
Then Sivis was one of their own!
"Since that's the case, should we try to win over this Sivis?"
"According to the rules, we still have to carry out missions with Vikalina for at least half a year. If we have this... uh, person with the power of holy light to help us and suppress her, wouldn't life be much easier?"
The members of the Knight Order who had been cold - faced towards Sivis before were now much more enthusiastic.
"Mr. Sivis, we are sorry to see that your family has suffered a disaster. However, no matter what, since such a tragedy has occurred, we will do our best to help you rebuild your family. Please accept our condolences."
"That's right. It is also our duty to help those who have suffered disasters and fallen into misfortune like you."
Sivis was taken aback. Before, he didn't pay much attention to the members of the Knight Order, but it seemed that they were not very friendly to him. Now it seems...
Did he misjudge them just now??
Vikalina even noticed that during the moment when she was a bit sad and distracted, a group of people had already surrounded Sivis.
Suddenly, her expression became even more displeased.
Especially when she saw Sivis talking to them with a set of skilled social rhetoric, she felt even worse.
It was as if she was watching a kind - hearted partner who mastered pure holy light being bewitched by a group of villains and devils, and gradually falling into depravity step by step.
Sivis casually communicated with the members of the Knight Order. These people only said they would help him verbally. In fact, they were just making empty promises and had no real intention of taking out money or resources.
He also noticed that the members of the Knight Order just looked at each other and then inexplicably stepped back.
Sivis, being understanding, stood aside and had no intention of disturbing.
In the distance, the members of the Knight Order were discussing.
"I always feel it's not very safe. How about we observe him for a while first?"
"He possesses such pure holy light, yet he's not on the same side as Vikalina? Who can believe that?"
"Just to be on the safe side, don't recommend him to the Holy See for now. Let's first inquire in Minnet City about who this Sivis really is."
"Exactly, that's what we should do. In case there's another stubborn person like Vikalina, we can't handle it."
After they finished their discussion, they looked at Sivis in the distance.
The latter nodded quite gentlemanly.
He wasn't worried either. His the power of holy light was genuine and couldn't be faked.
Although the members of the Knight Order were suspicious of him, they wouldn't be so fanciful as to think that he, Sivis, was a Demon Lord or an inheritor of an Evil God.
They didn't have that much imagination.
However, Vikalina, who was standing nearby and heard this discussion, suddenly had a glint in her eyes.
"Right, who exactly is Sivis? Instead of just listening to his one - sided story here, it's better to directly make inquiries in the city." After making up her mind, there was still a trace of disappointment in Vikalina's eyes.
Sivis himself had admitted that he was of the same kind as those nobles, making the female knight almost stop expecting him to be someone with the same ideals as her.
However, she still managed to force a smile and walked up to Sivis together with the members of the Knight Order.
At this moment, Vikalina and the companions behind her had the same interests.
"According to the regulations of the Holy See, Mr. Sivis, since your family has been destroyed by the disaster of the Blood Clan, we will provide certain compensation. Before that, please wait a little while. We need to investigate the source of the outbreak of the Blood Clan."
"Also, we need to know exactly what role your family played in this disaster."
"Please rest assured. I saw with my own eyes that you killed the Blood Servant. Even if your family has dishonorable deeds, you will still receive certain compensation."
"Then I'll trouble you all." Sivis put his arm around Reina, nodded silently, and felt relieved in his heart. Anyway, he had managed to deceive them for the time being.
However...
He suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Sivis felt as if something extremely cold and gloomy was peeking at him.
This strange perception originated from the divine power of the Evil God. He detected that there was an existence that also believed in a certain Evil God, looking at him with eyes full of malice.
But this feeling came and went quickly, as if it were an illusion.
It was not an illusion -
On a tall building in the urban area, a figure wrapped in a black robe coldly stared at Sivis and that group of knights.
He first stared at Vikalina, then looked at the holy light emanating from Sivis, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How could this be!"
This person was precisely that Blood Clan member. He had been observing secretly before and thought that Sivis would be easily dealt with by his two clansmen, taking advantage of the speed and strength of the Blood Servants.
Unexpectedly, it was Sivis who easily killed the enemies instead.
The figure in the black robe had thought about simply making a move to capture Sivis himself. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. He also found that the people from the Holy See, who would most likely only stay in the church, had actually forcefully charged over under the leadership of that Vikalina.
And they had quickly arrived near the Daister family!
Suddenly, the Blood - Clan hesitated.
He was worried that if Sivis, by taking advantage of the power of holy light, managed to delay him for just a few seconds, even if he could kill Sivis, once the people from the Holy See arrived and discovered the real whereabouts of him, a Blood - Clan member, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire Blood - Clan's subsequent plans!
In that moment of hesitation.
Vikalina directly rushed near Sivis and with a single spear strike, she killed the Blood Servant that had been transformed from Dailon・Daister.
Now, the Blood - Clan couldn't make a move even more.
There were two beings who mastered the pure power of holy light, and one of them even had the strength of the Silver Rank.
If he made a move to confront them, perhaps with the assistance of those members of the Knight Order, there was a possibility that he might fail and be killed.
"But the sacred relic of the clan must never fall into the hands of others..."
