Chapter 127 The Book of Virtues

The word "Priest" originally meant "emperor's attendant" in the ancient Fusac language, so Abner was not surprised that Daphne's family was related to the "Night Emperor" and only nodded slightly. , motioning for her to continue.

"We, Priest, are in charge of the magic potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 4 of the 'Soothsayer' pathway. Although we are not as powerful as the Blood Tribe and the Four Angel Families in the empire, we are the most loyal subordinates of His Majesty the 'Night Emperor'. , are the eyes in the darkness, the sharp blade in the night..."

To put it simply, they are doing dirty work in intelligence, right? In terms of abilities, the Extraordinaries of the Gou San Family are indeed suitable for doing these things. Abner complained silently, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"His Majesty once consecrated seven knights with the blessing of his own 'authority'... Each of these seven knights represents a virtue. As long as you uphold your own 'virtue', you will be blessed by your majesty's 'authority' during battle. And If violated, there will be backlash.

"The seven knights are 'Loyal Augustus', 'Tolerant Einhorn', 'Gentle Sauron', 'Hard-working Castile', 'Congratulatory Audra', 'Temperance Molika', and my ancestor 'Humble Priest'...

"And when canonizing these seven knights, the sealed object used is the 'Book of Virtue' I mentioned before."

Speaking of this, Daphne's tone inevitably contained a hint of pride.

After all, her ancestors were ranked alongside families with angels such as Augustus.

"Knight of the Seven Virtues"? Well, since the ancestors of the Daphne family can be included, it means that these seven knights should all be at the 'saint' level...

Is this a "welfare" given by the "Night Emperor" to the family loyal to him? Or, do you want to control these families in disguise?

However, the "Night Emperor" whom you canonized with "virtue" seems a bit funny now...

"Loyal Augustus"? Be loyal until your death. Not only did the Augustus family directly take over Backlund, they also destroyed the Trunsoest family and snatched away a copy of the "Hand of Order" trait.

"Tolerant Einhorn" and "Gentle Sauron"... How did the extraordinary people of the "Hunter" family get related to the words "tolerance" and "moderate"?

"Hard-working Castilla"...I don't know much about this, but as far as I know the only two members of the Castilla family, one is Miss "Lazy" and the other is "Giuseppe" in my previous life. "Castilla"... It's all "salted fish", but it has nothing to do with "diligence".

"Audra of Kangai", I remember that in the original book, there was a marquis in the vampire clan named "Nibais Audra", could it be him? If it is really him, then this person is actually very stingy... He used Emlyn to contact "The Fool", but the reward he gave was completely unable to match the risks Emlyn faced... Even the money he gave later, They are all for acceptance bills!

"Temperance Molika"... I have seen it before in Russell's diary. The Night Emperor has the "Succubus" family among the three "Witch" families under his command, and it makes the vampires dissatisfied... and after I later looked through the information and found out that "Monica" was probably the last name of the "Witch" family.

Yawenba

If that's the case... let the "witch" practice "temperance"? Did the Night Emperor do this on purpose, or was he consecrated like this because of the pressure from his wife's family?

After a few words of slander, Abner put down his knife and fork, signaled Daphne to pause first, and asked thoughtfully: "Can you tell me the specific function of the 'Book of Virtues'?"

"No problem." Daphne nodded and introduced without reservation, "The 'Book of Virtue' could be regarded as a '0' level sealed object during the lifetime of His Majesty the 'Night Emperor', which can give 'balance' to knights who follow virtues. His authority briefly raised the saint-level knight to the same level as the angel, maintaining 'balance'.

"At the same time, since its main body is made of a mixture of the characteristics of 'Chaos Hunter', 'Whisperer' and 'Mystic Mage', a 'trial' space can be created.

“Knights who want to be ‘canonized’ will be pulled into this space and undergo ‘virtue’ trials with each other.

"During the trial, you can use words or abilities to provoke the emotions and desires of other trial participants, but you cannot launch any attacks that cause substantial harm to yourself or others, otherwise you will be 'punished' by the space.

“Once the tester has ‘sin’ in his heart, he will be given varying degrees of ‘punishment’ depending on the size of the ‘sin’.

"In the era of His Majesty the Night Emperor, there was an upper limit for 'punishment' and there would be no death... But now, it is possible to die directly in the 'Trial of Virtue'... For example, I was before..."

As she spoke, Daphne's face turned red. She did not use her "clown" ability to control her, because she had to stay true to herself in front of the angel.

I see, I asked you how you pulled out three high-sequence witches, but only asked them to take off their clothes... It seems that my judgment at the time was correct. If you launch an attack, you will be punished. No wonder you only use "charm".

Abner asked thoughtfully: "You just said that when the Night King was alive, the Book of Virtue could give the knights the power of 'balance'... In other words, it can't be done now? Even if he passes the 'Trial of Virtue' ', become a 'knight' canonized by this book, and there is no corresponding authority and blessing?"

Daphne nodded and said: "Yes, the only advantage of being a knight now is that in times of danger, you can instantly hide in the 'trial space' no matter where you are...

“But since the person in charge of this book is not His Majesty, no demigod is willing to entrust himself to me... What’s more, maintaining ‘virtue’ is not an easy task.

"I am now using it more as a concealment method to deal with enemies."

Even so, it is still a pretty good sealed artifact... After sighing in his heart, Abner asked casually: "Does it have any side effects?"

"The side effect is that every time 'unsealing' is used, it will be pulled into the space and forced to be tested. If you cannot gain the favor of any of the seven 'virtues', you are likely to die and become a virtue or a person corresponding to a major sin. The source of power." Daphne sighed.

"Then what kind of virtue title have you received?" Abner asked curiously.

Daphne straightened her chest when she heard this, and replied with a raised tone: "It is the virtue of 'humility'! I am still the 'Humble Priest'"

After finishing speaking, she added with some embarrassment: "Because after the death of the ancestors, the soul returned to the 'Book of Virtues', which is one of the 'standards' of the virtue of 'humility', so I was awarded the title of knight. It’s much simpler than others.”

Girl, I don't see the "humility" in you at all. Are your ancestors "letting go" for you?

Abner complained and then looked at Daphne. He felt that this girl who was at least 300 years old was not as "sophisticated" as the other "Gou Sanjia". Perhaps it was because she had been hanging out with this "Book of Virtues" for a long time. …

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner picked up the coffee cup again and said with a smile: "You can continue the previous topic."

Where did I say that? Daphne was stunned for a second, and then relied on her "spiritual intuition" to recall where the words were, and reorganized the following words:

"After His Highness 'Olnia' died inexplicably, and the 'Original Witch' colluded with the traitors of the empire to sneak attack on Her Highness 'Monica' and take away her 'Doomsday Witch' characteristics, His Majesty the 'Night Emperor' seemed to have a premonition to the point where his own downfall is inevitable.

"So His Majesty used the body of His Highness Monica and the characteristics of the Sequence 2 'Disaster Witch' she left behind to build a ship to protect his own people, which is the 'Ghost Empire'.

"But sadly, no one was aboard the ship that carried Trunsoest's last legacy...

"And my family also integrated into the 'Secret Order' formed by the Zaratul family after the fall of the Trunsoest Empire."

After losing the "Doom Witch", the witch of the "Succubus" family can still retain the characteristics of the "Disaster Witch"... This shows that she is probably not dead. Like Pales in the original work, she used the downgraded Means saved life...

But she was eventually turned into a boat by the "Night Emperor"! Was this... a sacrifice? "The Night Emperor" is also a ruthless person who turns his back on others!

When Abner was secretly speechless, he heard Daphne continue:

“In addition, there are two reasons why I am interested in ‘Ghost Empire’.

"First, my ancestor also participated in the creation of the 'Ghost Empire'. According to the manuscript he left behind, in addition to the 'Disaster Witch', the main materials of that ship should also include a 'Planeswalker' from the Abraham family. '...And my path in the Secret Order has come to an end. If I want to cross that boundary, I may have to switch paths and take risks in the 'Ghost Empire'...

"Second, according to the few words left by the ancestors, the 'Book of Virtue' is likely to have some internal connection with the 'Ghost Empire', and it may be possible to control the ship through it."
