Chapter 35 Knight Commander Danji

Although the situation seemed to be the same, Horn felt much better on the way back to his bedroom.

He began to understand why those villains wanted to take someone away before they died.

Seeing the tense faces and sweaty foreheads of Townley and others around him, Horn's bleak outlook for the future even dissipated a little.

"You don't have to do this." Grampven whispered to Horn, his tone even a little exasperated, "We are on the same side, don't you understand?"

"Who is on the same side with you?" Horn's face was full of gloating smile.

"Please stop saying such angry words." Tang Li gritted his teeth and whispered, "I know that what we did is indeed putting you in danger, but you should also think about us.

After finishing this, you can naturally leave with the two witches, and the secret party will protect you.

But we are different. Our industry has not yet been transferred to Black Snake Bay. If you do this... Oops!"

Why would the secret party protect me if I just left with two witches?

Seeing that Townley looked distressed, Horn frowned. He felt that there might be something hidden, but he did not trust this group of people and was unwilling to ask proactively for fear of exposing something.

Wearing the Pope's holy robes, Horn was carried back. He finally had the leisure to take a look at the appearance of this Gulag monastery.

The nature of a monastery is actually not much different from that of a church. Most churches are located in towns, manors and villages, while most monasteries are located in the wild.

Therefore, the monasteries had security needs. They not only built the monasteries on earthen hills, but also built high walls around the churches.

Coming down from the gatehouse is a tree-lined avenue leading to the Gulag Church, with flower beds on both sides.

On the left side of the boulevard are the bell tower, vegetable garden and warehouse, and on the right are the livestock shed, mill, bathhouse and herbal shop.

To return to Horn's bedroom in the church, one has to walk through a courtyard garden covered with vines and morning glories and a corridor made of shrub branches.

Horn raised his head and looked beyond the branches that were shading each other. He could see two corner towers standing on both sides of the church. Between the church and the corner towers was the monastery's cemetery.

Many devout and wealthy believers, mainly armed farmers, are buried here.

As Horn walked through the shrub corridor and arrived in front of the cemetery, a flash of lightning flashed before his eyes.

"Let me pass, you lowly and despicable knight!"

"For Myrcella's sake, please do not say such disrespectful words, or I will break my knight's oath and attack a weak woman like you."

Although many parts of the knight's armor had been struck red by lightning, he still stood still and refused to give in.

"Knight's oath? I find it funny when you guys talk about the knight's oath!" Jeanne was furious. "Knights should all die, they are all liars. I say it again, get out of here!"

"Jeanne!" Horn called out quickly.

"Brother Horn!"

Seeing Horn, Jeanna immediately dispersed the lightning in her hand and ran towards Horn quickly.

Behind her, Carrie lowered her head like a primary school student who had done something wrong, with a bump on her forehead, pouting lips, and tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Sister Jeanna is bad..."

Walking to Horn, Jeanna pushed aside Tang Li and others and held Horn horizontally in her arms.

Horn's head hit her chest with a sound like metal hitting metal.

It was so hard that Horn cried out in pain.

"I'm glad you're all right."

Horn was startled when he heard the voice. It was clearly Boussac's voice. He stretched his head to look from Jeanne's side and saw Boussac and the remaining children's soldiers, as well as the trembling butcher priest Cosset and the young monk Armand, all at the church gate.

Aren't they supposed to be over at the Moulin Rouge Village? Why are they here?

He looked at Jeanne with a puzzled look, and Jeanne smiled and said, "Cosset and the other villagers saw that you were taking a long time to return, and just when another monk was out exploring, he was anchored in Moulin Rouge Village, so they came here by boat."

"We originally wanted to save you, but we didn't expect that you have been elected as Pope. You are indeed the true grandson of the Holy Father and the one appointed by Messiah." Busak looked at Horn with a lot more awe than before.

But Horn narrowed his eyes and cast his gaze at Townley who was standing aside.

The knight also came over and looked straight at Horn, especially the golden crown on his head.

"Your Holiness, let me introduce you to this, the Grand Master of the Temple Knights of the Gulag Monastery - Danji Hurd, the Waterwheel Knight."

The so-called Knights Templar are knights canonized by the church and are an armed force exclusively belonging to the church.

In a sense, the Knights Templar were actually armed monks rather than knights in the secular sense.

The knight in front of him should be the one who was sent to Durdafer to protect him.

After all, Thousand River Valley is unlike other places. Secret parties and bandits are everywhere, and the public security is only slightly better than that of the Gravel Plain and Black Snake Bay next door.

Listening to Grampven's introduction beside him, Horn took a quick look and saw that it was a middle-aged knight.

Although he was tall, he had a hunched back and a dark mustache as hard as steel. Above the mustache was a thick, red rosacea.

At this moment, he pushed the bird-beak-shaped mask onto his head, but made no intention of saluting Horn.

"Oh, you are a titled knight?" Horn looked at the rosacea knight.

Titled knights are actually a group of people among the Royal Knights with the most outstanding military achievements, so much so that the royal family can confer an exclusive knight title on them.

For example, the Flute Knight Lorson from a hundred years ago, and the Lion Knight Prince Kongdai of the Kingdom of Leia.

"No, this is just a nickname given to me by others." Danji showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. "Your Holiness, your people are starving now. I would like to ask you..."

"Your Holiness is ill, what's wrong with you? Do you still want to bother me? Knight Danji, please move aside. We are sending His Holiness back to his room to rest."

Without waiting for Dange's response, Townley and others winked at each other, squeezed Dange aside, and surrounded Horn as they walked towards the church.

Hiss, it seems these people are not in the same group, there is an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Wait." Horn suddenly shouted without thinking too much, and Jeanna stopped immediately.

Of course, the others were unable to stop Jeanne and could only stay where they were helplessly.

"This Temple Knight Danji is responsible for protecting my safety. How can he be just an ordinary Knight Commander?" Horn rubbed his aching nose. "In the name of the Pope, you will form a Holy Grail Knights Order. You will be the Grand Master, and Saint Jeanne will be the Knight Commander. The status of this Knights Order is the same as that of the three major Knights Orders."

The knight was stunned at first, then he touched his chest and bent over woodenly, not even half-kneeling: "As you command, Your Majesty."

Jeanne glared at him unhappily and continued to walk towards the bedroom with Horn in her arms.

Nestled in Jeanne's arms, Horn was still silently thinking about a way out, until he was almost at the bedroom door, when waves of dizziness came again.

Horn once again felt his body temperature gradually rising and his vision gradually blurred.

Almost forgetting the important matter, Horn bit his tongue to force himself to stay awake, and then he knocked on Jeanne's chest.

"Why are you blushing? Ahem, I have something to tell you..."

Putting his mouth close to Jeanna's ear, Horn whispered, "The Holy Father gave me a good prescription in a dream that can cure my illness. Take 40 pounds of garlic... mash it into a paste... ferment it for five minutes, then put it into a distiller for distillation... until golden liquid flows out... do you understand?"
