Chapter 478: Frog in the Well
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I'm a noble viscount and even a lord! And my belief is the glory of chivalry! So I can't appreciate your kindness!"
However, tempting as it was, Gervis rejected the Pope's invitation without hesitation.
Not to mention that he now possesses such strength thanks to the black kiwi fruit. Even if he really reaches this level, Gervis will not join an organization like the church that uses faith to achieve certain goals.
Gervis has the memories of his past life and knows very well how unreliable an organization like the church is.
Moreover, when he was interrogating the church member in the palace of the Principality of Alban, Gervis had already learned from clues that the church was the dominant force on this continent.
But in the Holy Continent, you may be a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone, and can only exist in the dark.
"Lord Gervis, I advise you to think about it again! Do you know what it means to reject my olive branch?"
Gervais's blunt refusal took Longfellow by surprise, and he released his aura, pressing toward Gervais.
In an instant, Gervis felt a huge pressure exerted on himself.
So Gervis quickly circulated the fighting spirit in his body and released his own power, launching an invisible confrontation with it.
When his own might dissipated, the feeling of oppression that Gervis had felt disappeared instantly.
"It is indeed a White Flag Knight!"
Pope Longfellow saw Gervis's reaction in an instant and immediately determined Gervis's realm.
"Viscount Gervis, you can be called a demon for being able to train to the level of a White Flag Knight in this continent, and at such a young age."
"But you know what? This is just a wild place, just an isolated island overseas! If you continue to stay here for the rest of your life, you will only be able to see the world from a well!"
"If you are willing to join the church, and your loyalty to the church is recognized, we can take you out of this barren land and to a truly prosperous land! There are stronger people and a broader world there!"
When Longfellow heard his subordinates' report after escaping, he couldn't believe that Gervis could become a White Flag Knight at such a young age.
Now that I have confirmed it myself, I am also extremely surprised, and I have other thoughts in my mind.
So Pope Longfellow revealed the most secret information in the world, about which even the kings only knew a little.
Longfellow believed that such news would be very tempting to the evildoer Gervis.
"Haha! Sorry, Your Holiness, I refuse!"
Gervais's answer was beyond Longfellow's expectations.
No matter what tempting conditions Longfellow could offer, Gervais knew that he was not worthy of them now.
Compared to Longfellow, who thought he had revealed a secret that no one could know, Gervais was more concerned about something else.
At this moment, he was silently calculating the time it would take for the black kiwi fruit to become ineffective. He now had less than nine minutes to solve the current problem.
This also requires taking into account the time it takes to safely return to the City of Glory, so his actions at this moment can be said to be very urgent. If the kiwi fruit loses its effect and he cannot safely return to the City of Glory, then the biggest possibility is that he will die.
So Gervis didn't plan to say any more, it would be best to end it quickly.
"That's a shame! I really don't want to stifle a genius like you. I really hope you can work for the church!"
Pope Longfellow shook his head regretfully, for these words came from the heart.
Their New Temple was a secretive organization in the Holy Continent and had been hunted down and suppressed by official organizations in the Holy Continent.
Therefore, if Gervis, a monster without any background in the Holy Continent, could be absorbed, he would likely bring unexpected benefits to the New Temple in the future.
However, since Gervis was unwilling to join the church and instead chose to become a stumbling block to the church, Longfellow would not be merciful. He needed to nip this evil stumbling block in the bud.
The church has spent decades accumulating strength in order to seize this continent, just waiting for this moment, and Longfellow will not allow any accidents to happen.
"Since you are willing to be a frog in a well, I will let you see what the real sky is. In our place, the White Flag Knight is just a starting point."
As he spoke, Longfellow's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Seeing this, Gervis did not dare to be negligent at all and began to push his fighting spirit to the extreme.
"Secret: Judgment of Death!"
Longfellow drew the sword from his waist, but he remained standing in the same place, more than 20 meters away from Gervis, and whispered a name.
As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand moved and gently slashed down at Gervis through the air.
This slash seemed easy and casual, but when facing the direction of Longfellow's sword, Gervis's face changed drastically in an instant.
He felt an extremely powerful murderous intent. This was the first time he felt such a terrifying murderous intent, which was mixed with a cold aura that made Gervis' hair stand on end.
"Critical strike with one sword!"
Gervis instantly exerted his fighting spirit to the extreme, and without even thinking, he swung his sword five times in a row forward.
Every time Gervis swung his sword, he could see the sword energy shining with spiritual light slashing forward.
There was nothing unusual ahead except Longfellow, who was smiling twenty meters away.
Just when the first ray of sword energy swung out by Gervis reached five meters ahead, there was a sudden loud bang in front, and the sword energy swung out by Gervis seemed to be hit by something hard, and it shattered directly into specks of light and disappeared without a trace.
Then came the second... the third... the fourth...
After the sword energy was chopped into pieces, Gervis could see clearly the shape outlined by the broken spiritual light. It was clearly an invisible sword energy.
In an instant, Gervis's face became even uglier. The invisible sword energy shattered all his sword energy, but its power remained undiminished, which made Gervis incredible.
"What realm is Longfellow in? Even with my current strength, it's good enough for a sword energy to leave the body for seven or eight meters. Beyond seven or eight meters, its power is gone. But his sword energy can still break my five consecutive attacks when it is twenty meters away!"
"Wild Wind Slash!"
Although he was horrified, Gervis was not a man who would sit there and wait for death. He immediately let out a loud roar, and a strong hurricane appeared around his body in an instant.
In this hurricane, Gervis finally saw the invisible sword energy clearly, and it was now very close to him.
Gervis did not dare to delay and frantically gathered his fighting spirit in his arms. When he felt a slight pain in his arms, he slashed at the invisible sword energy with all his might.
"Break it for me!"
boom!
This invisible sword energy broke through Gervis's five cuts in a row. When it met the last cut, the two strongest forces finally collided with each other, making a loud bang.
Suddenly, there was a cloud of dust and smoke around Gervis, making it impossible to see anything.
When the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Gervis, who was shrouded in it, finally reappeared in front of people.
But at this time, Gervis had lost his original heroic appearance and instead became a little embarrassed.
Not only was the mithril armor on his body full of dents, but even the hardest plate armor on his chest had a large dent.
"puff!"
Gervis stood with the sword raised in both hands, but he couldn't hold on for long. The next moment he could not hold on any longer and quickly took off the black mask on his face, then spat out large mouthfuls of blood with a "pu" sound.
Thanks to "Jim", "Zhuifengshusheng", and "Shuyou20200527193815974" for their rewards!!!
It's really tragic. I took a break from my busy schedule yesterday to go fishing, but I didn't catch even half a pound of fish in a whole day and night! I also spent hundreds of dollars...
