The moment Levi pulled the ring off the skeleton's finger, the moving knight's armor outside suddenly scattered into a pile of armor parts and piled on the ground.
Knight Fred, who was fighting fiercely with the Knight Armor, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a formal knight, but he couldn't subdue such a bunch of dead things.
It's simply unimaginable.
"This is an evil spirit attack!"
"Yes, this must be an evil spirit! It occupied the armor and attacked us, but I didn't expect it to be beaten away by Knight Fred. Knight Fred is too strong!"
"Oh my god, has the evil spirit finally appeared in our Blackwater Valley?"
"Merciful Heavenly Father, please destroy these abominable evil spirits."
The soldiers simply thought that an evil spirit possessed the armor, causing it to attack everyone.
Knight Fred remained silent. Although he had never seen an evil spirit, he felt that an evil spirit that could easily kill the Rock Bear Knight and the Frostwolf Knight should not be so weak.
But he couldn't think of a better explanation for a while.
Only Levi was looking at the pile of armor, his inner excitement beyond words.
"A wizard, after searching everywhere for a long time, I finally found one without any effort. Who would have thought that there would be clues about a wizard in the back mountain of the territory? Now, I can be 100% sure that there are wizards in this world, at least... they have appeared before."
Levi, who had been searching for clues about wizards in many places to no avail, once doubted whether wizards were just legends.
But now, looking at the words on the ring, he finally confirmed it.
"It's a pity that there is no contact information left. This is also a ring from eight hundred years ago. I don't know if this witch Gulveig is dead."
"By the way, both the [Ms. Rowling] in Grimm's Travels and this [Gulveig] are witches."
“Could it be that all the wizards in this world are women? What if I really find a way to become a wizard in the future? Would I have to castrate myself like the one who learned the Book of the Golden Flower?” Levi thought to himself, but finally shook his head helplessly.
I have only found some clues about the existence of wizards. I am still a long way from truly stepping into the realm of wizards and entering that bizarre and mysterious world.
"Obviously, this armor was custom-made by the witch Gulveig for the great knight of the Mellon family. Perhaps, the blasphemy of the Mellon family eight hundred years ago was related to this."
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but recall a religious story he had seen some time ago about the merciful Father of Heaven.
This story comes from the "Code of Creation" compiled by the third Pope of the Holy Light Church, which records the story of a loving father.
"The loving Father of Heaven selflessly shared the remains of His saint on earth with His seven most loyal followers."
"Those who eat legs gain the speed of a god; those who eat ribs gain the endurance of a god; those who eat blood gain the courage of a god; those who eat hearts gain the spirit of a god; those who eat arms gain the strength of a god; those who eat bones gain the defense of a god; those who eat brains gain the wisdom of a god!"
"These seven followers are called the Seven Knights of Heaven. The seven knights inherited the speed, endurance, courage, spirit, strength, defense, and wisdom of the gods respectively. Therefore, the black energy born by the knights should essentially belong to the divine power of the saint's remains, and should be called [Saint Relic Power]."
"God loves the world more than himself, and the world should also love God as parents. God nourishes knights with the flesh and blood of saints. Knights should set an example, be loyal to God, practice God's will, and spread the glory of the Father."
This is the introduction of the origin of knights in the Code of Creation, and it is also the reason why the official calls "black energy" "holy relic power".
It is unknown whether this is true or not, but in a miscellany by a scholar of folk religion research, the story about the origin of the knights in the "Code of Creation" also mentioned an interesting mythological story that was not recorded in the "Code of Creation".
"Among the seven knights of heaven mentioned in the Code of Creation, the knight who obtained the wisdom of God was extremely ambitious. In the afterlife when the Father of Heaven and the angels were high in the astral world and saints had disappeared, this knight and his descendants used their wisdom far superior to that of mortals to try to steal the authority of the gods of the astral world with their mortal bodies and obtain the most fundamental thing that makes gods gods: the godhead! In short, this knight who should have practiced the ideals of God in the mortal world wanted to ignite the divine fire, condense the godhead, and deify himself! This undoubtedly offended the wrath of the gods!"
"After many years, the angels from the star realm descended to the mortal world, intending to suppress this group of people with their supreme divine power. However, they discovered that during the years when the gods were away, these people used the wisdom of the gods to study a series of spells that could destroy the heavens and the earth. With their mortal bodies, they mastered the abilities of earth, fire, wind and water, light, darkness, thunder and lightning, and even the cycle of life and death, which only gods should master."
"That battle affected the entire continent where the seven nations are today. Even angels died. But in the end, the angels still won the final victory. The knight who obtained the wisdom of God and his descendants were all destroyed."
"That group of people are the wizards in later legends, and the first generation of knights who inherited the wisdom of God is the ancestor of wizards: Sauron."
"This is a legend I heard from a retired old priest. I always feel that wizards still exist in our world, but we have not discovered them yet."
Because Levi had collected a lot of legends and books about wizards some time ago. He read travel notes and unofficial histories, and when he put the true and false together, he could always see something.
At first, Levi thought these were just myths.
However, considering the history of the Mellon family and the witch Gulveig behind the Frost Giant's magic armor, all of this may not just be a myth.
"Perhaps, there really are... gods in this world." Levi thought of a terrible fact.
"And the gods and the church are definitely hostile to wizards, a group with great potential. Perhaps this is why wizards rarely show up on this continent."
"Should I continue pursuing the path of a wizard?" Levi asked himself.
Finally he sighed inwardly. He couldn't answer this question for the time being. Time would tell him the answer.
Finally, after making sure that there was nothing else of value here, Levi asked the soldiers to pack the armor. He was still unclear about the connection between the armor and the ring, nor did he know how to use them. He could only go back and study them slowly. He also had the cave sealed.
In the cave, only the tall remains remain, silently witnessing the changes of eight hundred years and the passage of history. Only the behemoth of the Holy Light Church stands behind, never falling.
"Don't let anyone know about today's encounter with the evil spirit. It will only cause unnecessary panic to everyone. Otherwise, I will kill everyone!" Levi threatened.
After roughly understanding the church's attitude towards wizards, he felt that he needed to be more cautious when looking for clues about wizards in the future.
Even a powerful family like the Giants were destroyed by the Knights of Light, so it would be easy for the church to destroy itself.
