Universe Infinite Canteen
Chapter 278 Compassion is poison
As soon as Malu came back, he noticed a new email.
That email was sent by Levi two days ago, telling him that the church had verified the death of the Shrike and the credit for the last operation had been determined.
Since only he and Levi survived in the end, most of the credit was also divided under their names.
In addition, Levi intended to cultivate and win over Malu, so this time Malu received a very generous reward, including 1 million holy silver coins and 200,000 redemption points.
In addition, he also got a new set of armor and replaced a person who died in the previous battle and became a master.
Levi asked him to go to the Paladin to discuss the promotion ceremony after his retreat. It happened that Skylark also entrusted him to check the "Chronicles of the Temple City".
So Malu went to the giant tower before going on a mission. The herald received him and led him to Levi's office again.
Although the crisis of the Witch Alliance has been resolved, the deputy leader of the Paladin Order seems to be even busier. While continuing to search and hunt for the remaining fallen witches, he is also expanding his influence in the Paladin Order and even the church.
However, even so, when he heard that Malu was coming, he still took time to meet him and encouraged him a few words. Speaking of the promotion ceremony, because the high-level members of the Knights' Order were still required to be present, it was scheduled for a week later.
However, the proposal for promotion has passed the final resolution, so Malu can now obtain some of the master's authority in advance.
When he proposed to go to the library to take a look, Levi agreed without hesitation.
Then Malu took the elevator to the 69th floor.
It is said to be the 69th floor, but in fact, the height of one floor here is equivalent to three floors in other places, and it is full of books.
Rows of bookshelves are arranged in a ring shape and spread outward.
It can be seen that the Order Church really likes circles, and many elements related to circles can be seen everywhere.
But this raises a problem. How can he find the one he wants among so many books?
Malu looked around and saw a terminal in the corner.
This terminal is very similar to the one in the weapons and equipment department, and the operation should be similar. There is also a voice system. Malu tried to input "Chronicles of the Temple City" through voice, and immediately got a number.
The first three digits correspond to the bookshelf number, the fifth digit is the floor number, and the sixth and seventh digits are the location on the bookshelf.
Malu easily found "Chronicles of the Temple City" according to the number.
This book is very common in the Temple City, but according to the Bird of Paradise, the ones circulating on the market outside are all deleted, and only the ones in this library are authentic.
In the past, Malu, even as a paladin, was not qualified to read this book, but now his promotion to a master is basically a foregone conclusion, and he is finally qualified to read these historical materials.
After getting the book, Malu found a secluded place where no one would disturb him, and just sat on the carpet and pretended to flip through it.
Of course, he couldn't understand the content on it, but he could take a picture and show it to the Bird of Paradise when he got back.
Malu was very cautious and did not use the built-in shooting function of the armor to prevent the library from detecting it by any means. After all, the set he was wearing was also made by the church, so he used the traveler bracelet to secretly shoot.
At the same time, he was also paying attention to the surrounding environment.
But even so, someone walked behind him. The footsteps of the person were very light. Malu did not open the chessboard map at this time, so he was shocked until the person spoke.
"Compassion is poison."
"What?" Malu turned around and saw a familiar figure
-the old nun in the card drawing shop, well, to be more precise, the hook-nosed nun who led the graduated witches for him to choose after Malu donated money to the church. Her name seemed to be Theresa.
But Malu still remembered that he had accidentally seen her information on the chessboard map. She was also a witch, and her name was Thorn Eagle.
She was also the only witch Malu had seen who did not wear the Ring of Order.
Malu once suspected that she was the deepest nail buried in the church by the Witch Alliance.
But from her tone now, it seems unlikely.
And unless she has been living in the tower and never goes out, it is impossible to hide her identity as a witch when she passes through a layer of holy stone. In other words, the church's high-ranking officials should also know that she is a witch.
Even so, she still does not have the Ring of Order around her neck, and is also responsible for the training and recruitment of witches.
Compared to the Witch Alliance, Malu thinks she is more like a hidden boss on the church side.
"Compassion is poison." Theresa repeated again.
"Uh... what does that mean?" Malu asked casually.
The old nun stared down at his eyes, "I have seen many knights who have developed feelings for their witches because they have been together day and night and fought side by side. Naturally, they will sympathize with their situation and even hope to find ways to change it all. I sincerely hope that you are not that kind of person, Master."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Of course, the only one who can enter the library on the 69th floor wearing primary knight armor is you, Lord Ximu, who has just become a master recently." The old nun said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with your witches, and you will even rush to the front in battle to protect them from damage."
"That is just based on a knight's most basic judgment of the battle situation. Everything I do is for the ultimate victory."
"I hope so." Thorn Eagle did not comment, paused and said, "I noticed that you took the "Chronicle of the Temple City" from the bookshelf. Is there anything you want to know about this book?"
"I just flipped through it casually." Malu said, "Actually, I feel that the content is a bit boring. I'd better change another book."
"Then I recommend "Red Dragon's Sorrow". If you want to know more about what happened in the 14th year of the Holy Calendar, or if you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
Malu looked into the eyes of the old nun in front of him, but he could not see any emotional fluctuations in those dark and deep eyes.
"You don't have to worry," Thorn Eagle continued, "Many knights who have been promoted to masters, their first thing is to come here to seek the truth and answers, of course, usually after the promotion ceremony, you seem more urgent than others..."
"Well, I am indeed a little curious, what happened that year, why did the church treat the witches who should be called heroes like this?"
"Everything has its cause." Thorn Eagle said, "Extraordinary power will also bring extraordinary ambitions."
