Chapter 60 It’s painful, why do people have to go to work! * …
*
The church courtyard is cleaned daily, with green plants evenly distributed among the flower beds, dotted with white and gold double-petaled flowers. The white arched high walls form a ring, guiding the sunlight to penetrate through it, making it light and transparent like water.
Knowing that I was going to take a walk here with the Knight Commander, the church urgently evacuated the crowd. I guess half of it was for my safety, and the other half was because of the Knight Commander's current condition.
No matter how noble it looks, this state is still an abnormality. Naturally, it will attract the attention of the church. If the Lord of Light had not issued an oracle, the Knight Commander would probably have to suffer imprisonment again.
I secretly looked at the other person's expression. The Knight Commander was walking beside me, seemingly in deep thought.
A fountain statue of the Virgin Mary holding a cup stands in the middle of the courtyard. Clear water flowing from the silver cup drips into the pool, creating transparent ripples.
When we walked around the fountain for the third time, the Knight Commander finally spoke: "I'm sorry, Saint Son, I have been a burden to you more than once. Whether it was this time or last time, I always needed you to save me... This is what I should have done."
"There's nothing to apologize for. Knight Commander, you've helped me a lot."
I smiled at him. "If you're really sorry, then answer me a question. Not right now, until you have an answer."
The man had not yet learned how to fold his wings, so he stumbled a little when walking. Fortunately, he was tall enough to support these three pairs of heavy wings. If he were shorter, he would have been crawling on the ground.
I was amused by my own imagination. The Knight Commander turned his head to look at me, his feathers behind him were pure white, and the sunlight fell between his eyebrows, making him look very gentle.
"What's the problem?"
"Is it better to be happy in ignorance, or to be miserable after knowing everything?"
"Um?"
The Knight Commander was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question, but he was an honest man. The Knight Commander thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, I put my hand over his mouth.
"You don't have to tell me right away. You have a long, long time to think about it until you give me an answer."
The Knight Commander opened his eyes wide and stared at me for a while before nodding. I took my hand back, and the Knight Commander coughed and corrected me: "Sir, please don't do this..."
He racked his brains to think of the right words, and the tips of his ears inevitably turned a little red.
I couldn't help but curl my lips, raised my hand and patted his shoulder: "Sir Knight, your ears are red."
The man was startled and instinctively tilted his head, trying to hide that ear in his hair, but accidentally exposed the other ear. I curled my eyes, and the Knight Commander coughed again, and reminded me helplessly and gently: "Sir, the Holy Son."
"Yes~ Your wings are covered in dust. Do you want to go in first?"
The Knight Commander nodded gratefully and walked down the stairs. He then told me not to stay outside for too long and went inside.
I stood there, and a spirited sparrow landed on my shoulder, its eyes bloodshot: "You seem to have softened your heart."
"I'm just leaving a way out for my future self. CD player, what brought you here?"
"The Lord of Darkness asked me to tell [Illegitimate Child] that you should find a way to infiltrate the Church of the Lord of Light and get acquainted with the Son of God who is about to return to the Church. Wait for orders as a hidden man."

Not long after I came back, the Knight Commander relapsed and told me about this incident. In addition to the known information, he also said something else.
"The situation in the church is not very good. The God of Death is the second mortal enemy of the Lord of Light. His reappearance is a provocation to our Lord. The church is very nervous about this."
"The one who will be here to greet you is one of the Glorious Archbishops, Bishop Maria's grandson, Elika. He is a gifted knight."
"You don't look like you like him very much?"
“…”
The Knight Commander was silent for a moment, then confessed honestly: "My relationship with him is not very good."
My gossipy ears perked up immediately: "How bad is it?"
He hesitated for a while and said, "In fact, he was the one chosen by the church to be the Knight Commander, but I defeated him at that time, so it fell to me. My sister needs money and medicine for treatment, and there is no other way except to do this."
Having said that, the Knight sighed and continued.
"I was born in the slums, and have lived with my sister since childhood. My sister was born with a serious illness, and when I was looking for medicine for her, a knight who came to the slums discovered my talent and invited me to the Knight Academy, and then to the church. If I must say, I am the representative of the civilian faction in the church, and Elika is the representative of the noble faction. Before we had any formal intersection, the supporters behind us forced us to oppose each other. After I defeated him, the matter escalated. In short, he has always been indignant that I can protect you."
I was admiring my perfect screenshot in the forum: "Do you need me to help you get rid of him?"
Knight Commander: “?”
"Oh, nothing, you just heard wrong. I meant, so that's how the Glorious Church is. It's really big and complicated, haha."
The Knight Commander remained silent. His face was filled with doubts about his ears, but in the end he foolishly believed my explanation.

Waking up to another day, the furry touch next to me is within reach.
Sean had just regained consciousness two days ago, but he didn't want to turn into a human form and still stayed on my bed and refused to leave. Considering that this was a huge furry creature, I chose to forgive him generously.
I inserted my fingers into the thick hair and lazily combed it to make it smooth. Sean purred in his throat and opened his mouth to hold my hand. My whole hand was swallowed by the slender wolf kiss, and I could feel the sharp touch of the fangs.
My soft, thick tongue licked the gaps between my fingers, and I tapped his nose: "Let go."
Sean said awkwardly. A voice came from outside the door: "Sir, the knight who came to pick you up is here."
The werewolf cast a glance and jumped off the bed first. He was more feral in his animal form than in human form. I followed him out of bed, and my bare feet landed right on the wolf's warm belly.
I was so self-conscious that I couldn't help but kick him lightly: "Don't act like a spoiled child. Get up quickly."
"Why is there another knight?"
Sean complained gloomily, looking like he didn't like him very much. I put on my shoes: "You and the Knight Commander get along very well, don't you?"
"That's just--that's different. There are very few knights in the world who are as stupid as him. Other than this kind, I can't get along with others."
"Me too."
So if we really encounter some cannon fodder, I guess Sean will definitely understand what I mean by the look in my eyes.

In the bright and clean hall, two people were sitting upright.
On the left was the Knight Commander who was sitting upright, and on the right was a blond knight in a platinum uniform, with moon-gray eyes that were noble and cold, and pale lips pursed into a line.
The moment I stepped into the hall, two pairs of eyes looked over at me.
Erica stood up and saluted: "May glory always bless you. My Lord, I am Erica Evans, and it is my honor to greet you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Knight Elika. We can leave anytime."
The wolf was staring at my feet, pressed against my back, tense yet relaxed. When I looked into his eyes, we both came to a conclusion calmly.
Even if the Knight Commander didn't beat him, he wouldn't be able to become the Knight Commander—
There's no way, your eyes are not blue enough, you lost from the start.

Later I found out that if the Knight Commander had not appeared out of nowhere, Erica would really dye her own eyes.
Samuel, look at the stereotype you create.

The alchemy car flew forward, running smoothly and quickly. The knights were guarding on both sides. I opened the window and saw the dragon flying in the sky.
The sunlight shone on his golden scales, shining brightly, and he looked like a small, flying sun.
The wolf lay lazily at my feet, and I stroked his head. Players have brought earth-shaking changes to this land. They built tall buildings and vehicles, brought hot weapons and wide roads.
Horse-drawn carriages had long been eliminated. The small carts built by dwarves and gnomes were extremely fast and so light that they seemed to fly.
It took us ten days to finally reach our destination. I was sleeping soundly while holding the big wolf until the system notification sound woke me up.
[Quest Reward: Blessing of the God of Glory has been issued]
I looked up from the car window and saw golden light descending, paving a hazy road leading ahead.
The city, built of pure white bricks and stones, was tall and majestic, with clusters of spires piercing the sky, and even more brilliant and dazzling in the sunlight. The gate in front of him opened, and a team of knights could be seen waiting.
The flag fluttered in the wind, and the gold-painted white flag was shining brightly, which was the emblem of the church.
[Quest Name: Son of God (Main Line)
Mission introduction: The light favors you. From today on, you will be loved forever. From this moment on, you will always be on the right path.
Mission objective: Gain the favor of the Lord of Light.
Mission Reward: [Mirror] News]
The light blended into my skin, I pinched the wolf's pointed ears and stared at the flashing mission reward.
The car stopped on the spot, and the horses around it stopped suddenly. The Knight Commander and Elika jumped off their horses at the same time and came to my car.
They said in unison: "Sir, we are here."
The light shone on them and the system sound rang again.
[Mission Name: Rescue the Knight Commander (Main Path) (Completed)]
[Mission Introduction: In order to maintain the glory of the church, the Knight Commander's injuries have not yet healed...]
[Additional requirements for the mission: Lead at least five players to participate in the mission (completed)]
[Mission Reward: Past Images of the Knight Commander (already issued)]
Only then was the Knight Commander truly judged to be out of danger. I opened the door and got out of the car, looking back at the same time.
The sky was endless, blue as a vast lake, and the cotton-like clouds were torn into pieces and huddled together.
His eyes slid downwards and the shadow of the carriage seemed to twitch, then returned to normal before anyone noticed.
Tsk, Kajol.
A large amount of information poured into my mind, tormenting my brain along with the scene. I placed my hand in the Knight Commander's hand, and the figure of the person in front of me overlapped with the phantom, causing my head to start to hurt.
"It hurts, brother."
A weak child's voice suddenly rang out.
