Chapter 440 Sacred Continent
Boom!
But just as he took two steps forward, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body and collapsed to the ground.
"If it wasn't for the sake of making less noise, I would have given you a good beating. You're just haunting me."
Gervis stood beside the middle-aged man and retracted his fist.
It was just a simple illusion that caused this man to lose his judgment of his own position, and then Gervis knocked him to the ground with one punch.
Looking at the middle-aged man in the silk suit lying on the ground, Gervis looked around again.
Although this palace was not a good place to interrogate prisoners, it was quite spacious and there happened to be a forest nearby, so Gervis dragged him in directly.
Dragging the middle-aged man forward, Gervis discovered that there was a lake deep in the woods. It was pitch black all around, with only the surface of the lake rippling with ripples.
So Gervis dragged the man to the edge of the lake and pushed his entire head into the water.
“Woo woo woo!”
"Sir Harry, why did you attack me?"
When the man woke up, he didn't scream, but looked at Gervis with some fear.
After his attack failed, he knew that the identity of Harry in front of him was not simple and he might use illusion.
However, illusions are impossible to have in this continent.
"Don't pretend anymore. I heard everything you said just now! I have a few questions for you now. You'd better answer them honestly, otherwise you will know what it means to be unable to live or die."
"You... who are you?"
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank instantly and his expression became even more terrified.
Because the words that Gervis used at this moment were spoken in the language of their continent.
"What do you think?"
Gervis looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile.
"Impossible! Apart from the people from our New Temple, it is impossible for anyone else on this island continent to discover this place!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly with a pale face.
"New Temple?"
Gervis thought thoughtfully, perhaps this was the name of the church on that continent.
"No, you are definitely not from the Holy Continent! Who are you? You don't understand what the New Temple means to you. If you dare to destroy our New Temple, no matter who you are, you will die!"
Click!
Woo woo woo~
Gervis was very satisfied with the information he got. It seemed that the unknown continent was called the Holy Continent, and the people in front of him called themselves people from the New Temple.
Seeing that the man was not honest, Gervis stuffed his clothes into his mouth and then broke the man's leg bones with one foot.
"Now I'm asking you, not you asking me!"
There was a fierce light flashing in Gervis' eyes, and he showed no mercy at all. These people did things by any means necessary, so they must not be good people.
"Now I ask you a question, do you understand?"
Gervis continued to speak, but the middle-aged man was obviously stubborn. He just looked at Gervis with resentment and showed no sign of submission.
But Gervis was not in a hurry. He raised his foot and stepped down again.
Snap!
"Do you understand?"
Four or five consecutive clicking sounds were heard at the edge of the woods. The middle-aged man's expression was distorted. Finally, he could no longer bear it and nodded frantically.
"very good!"
Gervis nodded in satisfaction.
"Let me ask you, what is your church, or this new temple, for?"
As he spoke, Gervis took the clothes out of his mouth.
"We are servants of the new god, preparing for the coming of the new god?"
"New God? What do you mean by New God? A real God?"
Gervis hesitated. Could it be that there really were gods in this world? In the past, he had spoken a lot about the God of Glory, but that was just like in his previous life, where he regarded the God of Glory as a myth.
But now he is not sure whether there are gods in this world with fighting magic.
"The new God is all-powerful! He is coming soon!"
This person must have been brainwashed, and he still had a sense of piety when talking about the new god.
But it was obvious that his faith was not that deep, otherwise Gervis would not have been able to ask any questions.
So Gervis stopped pondering this question and decided to take this opportunity to ask something else.
"How did you get here? Is there any way to get to the Holy Continent?"
"We came here using a special teleportation array, and we have no choice but to use it to go back, because this island is very far away from the Holy Continent, and there are sea creatures blocking the way in the sea!"
In order to reduce the torture, the middle-aged man had no choice but to answer honestly.
This answer is similar to what was recorded in the notebook that Gervis found on the island. There are indeed sea creatures blocking the way in the sea.
"What are you, the New Temple, doing in this continent?"
This is what Gervis was most curious about. What exactly did the people of the New Temple want to gain by disguising themselves as a church?
Given the current power of the church, there is absolutely no need to subvert the interests of the nobles in this way. After all, they are already reaping the benefits and can get half of the nobles' profits.
"Take control of this island continent and make it the rear base of our new temple!"
The middle-aged man replied.
"Very good, since you are so cooperative, let me ask you again..."
"Who?"
At this moment, a team of patrolling guards came from not far away. They had already spotted Gervis' figure by the lake, so they immediately ran towards this side.
Gervis cursed inwardly. He originally wanted to ask what their plans for tonight were, but now he could no longer ask.
"Go with peace of mind!"
After saying that, Gervis suddenly broke the man's neck and threw him into the small lake nearby.
After doing everything, Gervis turned into the woods and left quickly.
"A few of you watch the people in the water, and the rest of you follow me!"
When several guards saw someone running into the woods, they immediately drew their swords and chased after him.
But it was pitch dark in the woods, and they soon lost sight of Gervis.
…
Gervis walked through the woods and returned to the garden where he had just admired the night sky. Gervis then slowed down his pace and walked leisurely towards the banquet palace.
Gervis needs to show up at the palace and find an alibi.
And something big might happen tonight, so Gervis was ready to have his servants take him back to the manor to rest.
As for going back alone, it would most likely arouse suspicion, after all, the man he killed must also be a noble.
"It's a pity that we can't leave the palace, otherwise it would be safest to leave the palace quickly now!"
In order to let Gervis and others feel his generosity, King Hayden specially allowed Gervis and 10 others to stay in the palace for one night and leave the next morning.
So they have to stay in the palace tonight.
Walking slowly towards the palace gate, Gervis didn't notice anything wrong at first, but when he approached the gate, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Such a strong smell of blood!"
Because of the enhancement of his five senses, Gervis can now distinguish smells such as blood.
As soon as he approached the palace gate, Gervis smelled a bloody scent.
"Sir, please come in!"
Gervis stood at the palace gate for a moment, and more than a dozen guards at the gate immediately looked at him warily. These people were all titled knights, and several maids at the side made a gesture of invitation to Gervis in a respectful tone.
Even if Gervis didn't want to enter the banquet hall at this moment, he had no choice but to enter unless he immediately left.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Gervis finally took a step forward and walked into the palace.
