"It's so scary! People from the dark forces actually dare to break into the Knights Templar?" The woman dressed as a lady next to her looked horrified.
"I heard it was the necromancer who stole the Hero's Eye!" said a fat businessman next to him, "It's so lawless!"
"Don't worry! This is the Knights Templar, and that necromancer is simply asking for his own destruction!" said the mercenary dressed as an archer.
"Strange! Why didn't this necromancer summon the undead army, but kept avoiding it?" A young man wearing a magician's robe was puzzled.
Jia Zhengjin stood behind them and went to join in the fun: "This world is so dangerous! Have the necromancers broken into the city? Will we be killed?"
"Don't worry!" Someone immediately turned around, "We are under the protection of the holy angels, not to mention that the Lord of the Temple is always watching here. The dark forces are just clowns!"
"That's great!" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be relieved, "Hey~ how could this happen?"
After the Paladins of the Knights Templar fought with the psychedelic clone for a while, and more troops and guards approached, Jia Zhengjin immediately gave the psychedelic clone an instruction secretly, asking him to pretend that he couldn't defeat him and escape!
In fact, there is no need to pretend, there are so many strong people here, it is really impossible to beat them! They just rely on skills such as instant retreat and dark flicker to barely survive.
After receiving the order, the psychedelic clone immediately retreated from the battlefield again, and then a dark flash appeared outside the palace, desperately escaping into the distance.
Of course, the people of the Knights Templar would not let him leave peacefully like this. He could come and leave as he pleased, so what does that mean?
Including the eighth-level Paladins, they immediately rushed outside to chase the psychedelic clone.
"Don't panic, everyone!" The psychedelic clones were beaten away, and members of the Knights Templar immediately came out, "The members of the dark forces who caused trouble have been driven away, and no one can cause trouble here! Those who should worship continue to worship.
If you need baptism, please go inside!"
"Look! It's the Lord of the Temple!" At this moment, a wealthy businessman in the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted, including Jia Zhengjin.
Inside the palace, an old man with kind-faced eyes, a gray beard hanging down to his abdomen, wearing a high hat on his head, and a red robe with the emblem of the Knights Templar, slowly walked out under the protection of more impressive paladins.
"Greetings to the Lord of the Temple! The Great Lord Oriwei!!" All the believers present, regardless of their status, knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to him.
Jia Zhengjin was actually quite nervous. The Lord of the Temple was at least a ninth-level powerhouse, so it would be quite dangerous if he was discovered.
He also saluted and imitated the tone of others. Fortunately, he was at the back of the line and was not very conspicuous.
The Lord of the Temple just glanced at it casually and smiled gently: "We are all believers of Holy Angels, so there is no need to be so polite! A little thief broke into the temple today. It was our fault. I am really sorry for disturbing everyone!"
"Lord Oriwei, you are serious!" Someone immediately said, "It is those bastards from the dark forces who came to cause trouble, and it has nothing to do with you! It is said that that person also stole the Eye of Heroes, and he is a very bold evildoer!"
"The Golden Sword is our hero," the Lord of the Temple said to everyone, "I will never allow others to desecrate the hero's body! I will personally go to arrest the evildoer and take back the Hero's Eye!"
"Lord Oriwei takes action personally, so that evil villain has nowhere to escape!"
"Please also ask Lord Oriwei to take back the Eye of Heroes!"
"Lord Oriwei, teach him a lesson!"
…
All kinds of shouts came and went, and Jia Zhengjin was among them.
"Pilgrimage to the palace will resume soon. Please help yourself. I will come back as soon as I go!" Oriwei waved, and many paladins set off with him.
He was not discovered during the whole process, and Jia Zhengjin is now grateful that the system restricts him from learning magic!
Just because I can't learn magic, I am just an ordinary civilian in the eyes of everyone. Even the eyes of ninth-level experts can deceive me, so I can get away with it now.
After watching Oriwei and many paladins and members of the Knights Templar chase them out, the guards at the gate resumed their checks and continued to let people in and out. The people around Jia Zhengjin also entered the palace one after another and walked in all directions.
.
Jia Zhengjin entered the palace, first followed a group of people aimlessly, and finally came to a room that looked a bit like a church.
In the room, some children, accompanied by their parents, were undergoing special rituals by members of the Knights Templar. Something similar to holy water was gently sprinkled on the children's foreheads, and then long and complicated spells were chanted in their mouths.
"Sir, are you here alone?" Everyone else had already gone in, and when they waited for Jia Zhengjin, the knights guarding the door approached curiously, wanting to see Jia Zhengjin's face clearly under the gauze hat.
Jia Zhengjin hurriedly avoided it and said calmly: "I just took a look!"
"Sir, you are here to worship, right?" The member of the Knights suddenly laughed, "Then you are going in the wrong direction. This place is for baptism of children. If you have children, you can bring them here for the baptism ceremony.
Receive the blessings of the holy angels.”
"Then where should we go for worship?" Jia Zhengjin asked hurriedly.
"Go back to the hall from here, go left, and then turn right!"
"Thank you!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, then looked at him and said, "Well... I want to ask about something."
"What's the matter with you?" asked the member of the Knights.
"That's right," Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "I heard that your Templar Knights have made great achievements in battle. They have eliminated countless members of the dark forces and various dark monsters that harmed the people. That's why the Dunmat Empire has been able to survive for hundreds of years.
You are not disturbed by evil forces. I admire and respect you very much, so I came all the way from the Principality of Hales to witness your great achievements with my own eyes!"
Hearing this, the member of the Knights suddenly laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed: "So you are from the Principality of Hales? That's quite far away! Being able to come from such a far away place shows that you are really sincere!"
"Yes! I am really sincere." Jia Zhengjin nodded and said, "So I want to ask, if you want to see the Knights Templar with your own eyes... you understand!"
"Ah~" the members of the Knights suddenly realized, "So you want to see the historical relics of our Knights Templar? What a coincidence, the Merit Pavilion has been temporarily closed and is not open to the public. I'm afraid your visit this time is in vain!"
"Why?" Jia Zhengjin's eyes widened, "I came all the way from the Principality of Hales. Do you know how much hardship I suffered along the way just to take a look at those cultural relics?"
"Hey~ There is no way!" A member of the Knights shook his head and said, "Not long ago, the royal family issued an order that only the royal family is allowed to visit the Gonglao Pavilion, and the common people are no longer allowed to enter."
"This...then I came here in vain?" Jia Zhengjin was a little depressed.
