I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 326 Arthur's Entrustment, Athena is Captured

Alpha was deeply aware that in another world, the existence of the Church was more of a spiritual sustenance. However, with the passage of time and the rise of major empires, the Church gradually lost its original influence and control.

In the past, the Holy See used the power of the Knights to maintain its authority and tried to control the political situation of the major empires. But now, this means of control has become ineffective because all countries are pursuing their own independence and development.

In addition, the pursuit of freedom and equality is also growing. More and more people are beginning to question the sacred status of the Church, believing that it is no longer the only voice that can represent truth and justice. The rise of this idea has further weakened the position of the Church in people's hearts, causing it to gradually transform from a supreme authority to an ordinary social organization.

In short, Alpha recognizes that in this ever-changing world, the Holy See needs to re-examine its role and mission and find new directions for development and ways of survival. Otherwise, it will be difficult for it to continue to play an important role in this era full of competition and change.

"Where will the Vatican's road lead to?" Seeing Arthur repeating this sentence over and over again, Alpha also knew Arthur's confusion.

In this ancient land, the Church has always been a symbol of faith and power. However, with the changes of the times and the rise of the empire, the position of the Church seems to have become more subtle and complicated, and there are constant disputes within the Church. As a loyal knight, Arthur is full of confusion and anxiety.

"Lord Arthur, I believe that the future of the Holy See is no longer about controlling the empires by force, but about spiritual control." Alpha said slowly, his eyes firm and deep, as if he could see through future trends.

"Mental control?" Arthur frowned, obviously puzzled by this point of view.

"Yes, the Holy See represents light. Their holy light should shine upon the earth, fill people's hearts with the power of light, and let miracles illuminate the earth." Alpha explained, his voice revealing a vision and hope for the future.

Alpha is an atheist, but he knows that in this world, whether there is a god or not, people need a belief to support their lives. Even if there is a god, Alpha will not blindly believe in any god, because he believes that everyone has his own path and choice.

"Then we, the Knights of Discipline, have become mere decorations?" Arthur smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of helplessness and loss in his tone.

"No, what I mean is that we are no longer tools to eliminate dissidents in the major empires. The existence of us, the Knights of Discipline, has always been to eradicate darkness, uphold justice, and help the weak and direct combat forces." Alpha said firmly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

The Knights of Discipline have always been one of the most elite forces of the Church. They take it as their duty to uphold justice, and are not afraid of power or darkness. In Alpha's view, this is exactly the value of the Knights of Discipline - they are the guardians of light and the shelter for the weak.

"Maybe you're right!" Arthur said after thinking for a moment, his voice revealing a hint of relief and determination. He knew that no matter how tortuous and difficult the future of the Church would be, as long as there was light in his heart, he would be able to find the direction to move forward.

"Alpha Knight, you are also one of the Pope's discipline transformation experimenters. Does your discipline power have the power of shock?" Arthur knew that the Pope had been conducting targeted transformation of the discipline power, and the experimental results were also revealed.

After all, the free evolution of the power of discipline has produced most of the abilities that are useless or of little use. Such discipline knights are a waste for the Holy See.

Arthur objected to this. After all, humans are not machines. This kind of experiment would divide the subjects' reproduction according to their abilities rather than their spiritual compatibility, which was completely contrary to human will.

"My first commandment is the force of shock, Lord Arthur, but it only applies to metal products and has huge restrictions." Alpha found that his first commandment was almost ineffective against these dark creatures. After all, their weapons and equipment were all their bodies, and the force of shock could not be used to destroy their bodies.

"That's because you didn't make full use of the characteristics of the vibration force. In fact, the vibration force is also the resonance force. You only found the resonance frequency with the metal and didn't continue to expand it. It's not just for metal products.

My ancestor, the third generation pope, relied on the power of shock to defeat all opponents in the world. His ability is aimed at everything, everything in the world. No attack can get close to his body, and nothing can stop his attack. "Looking at Alpha's eager eyes, Arthur also knew what the other party was thinking first.

"No need to look at me. The notes of our ancestors have been lost long ago. I guess they are kept in the Pope's secret room. The last words my ancestors left us are that the essence of this world is shock. Unfortunately, I didn't understand it and I couldn't comprehend it." Arthur's eyes were full of loneliness.

"My tip to you is that the power of discipline may be the most primitive power and the most essential power. If you keep researching, your achievements may be limitless." Arthur also saw that Alpha had done in-depth research on the power of discipline, so he gave a kind reminder.

"Okay, Sir Arthur, I will pay attention." At this moment, Alpha was also extremely shocked, because according to the memory of later generations, humans and all things are composed of particles. Aren't the electrons and nuclei inside atoms vibrating infinitely? Perhaps this is a channel to improve strength, and some people have successfully evolved that path.

"Lord Julius." When Alpha was listening attentively to Arthur's teachings and immersed in those wise words, the low and hurried voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the house, breaking the silence in the room.

This sudden sound startled Alpha, and he quickly reacted, shrinking back reflexively, preparing to hide in a corner to avoid being discovered by outsiders. His heartbeat accelerated, and nervousness instantly filled his chest, as if something unexpected would happen in the next second.

"It's useless. At our level, we no longer use our eyes to see things. He has already discovered that I have someone here. There is no point in you hiding." Arthur reminded, of course he was referring to Julius.

"Then what should I do?" Alpha is not a strong person. Alpha just wants to be a transparent person quietly and does not want to be remembered by a strong man like Julius.

"Why are you alone? Where's the other one?" Julius frowned at the only guard outside the door. After all, it was his own order to hold back Arthur, and someone had to keep an eye on Arthur at all times.

"Sir Knight, he went to the toilet." The guard answered cautiously. After all, people have three urgent needs and it is impossible for them to be here all the time.

"Who went in?" Julius obviously knew that Arthur was not the only one in there, and asked with doubt and a hint of murderous intent. After all, his order required his permission before anyone else could enter. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to penetrate the tightly closed door and see everything inside.

"Lord Julius, I just went to the toilet. The toilet inside is closer and I almost couldn't hold it." Just then the door opened and a guard knight came out and stood aside calmly. His voice was steady and firm, as if he was explaining something that was very ordinary.

"Grand Knight Julius, I have made up my mind." At this time, Arthur suddenly made a decision, which made the confused Julius no longer consider the matter of the guard knight. His tone revealed a kind of determination and firmness, as if he had already made an important decision.

"What have you decided?" Julius closed the door. After all, Arthur was the most important thing. He turned around and stared at Arthur, waiting for his answer.

"Who are you?" Another guard asked with a puzzled look on his face when he saw the knight coming out of the house. His voice was full of curiosity and confusion, and it was obvious that he was very unfamiliar with this knight who suddenly appeared.

"Don't ask, I'm a secret sentry assigned by Lord Julius." The knight calmly left the door, leaving the remaining knights confused. His words were brief and powerful, making it impossible to refute, and at the same time, they left the sentinels with more questions.

"Julius, I have decided to rush back to the Holy See right now. I will ask the Pope for permission to go to the Eastern battlefield. I will not go anywhere else unless the Holy War ends." Arthur knew that this choice was related to his future, because the Pope had already made up his mind to kill him, so he had to be careful. His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if he had seen the difficult road ahead.

The Eastern Holy War Zone is the Ottoman Empire, which drove the Holy See out of the core area of ​​the European continent. The Holy War between the Holy See and the Ottoman Empire has lasted for two hundred years and has never ended. This long war is not only a military contest, but also a test of faith and will.

"I hope you can keep your promise." Julius stared at Arthur coldly. He was very surprised by Arthur's choice. After all, the holy war against the Ottoman Empire was not easy. There was both worry and admiration in his eyes. He knew that Arthur's choice meant that he would embark on a road full of dangers and challenges.

"Where is that knight just now?" Julius came to his senses and immediately walked out of Arthur's room and asked the sentinel knight at the door. There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety and anger in his voice, as well as murderous intent.

The sentinel knight seemed a little nervous when he saw the Grand Knight Commander come out to ask in person, but he still answered respectfully: "Grand Knight Commander, isn't that the sentinel you left behind? He has left." His tone was full of confusion, and he obviously didn't understand why Julius cared so much about an ordinary sentinel.

Julius's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that the fate of the two knights might no longer be smooth. This discovery made him even more angry, and at the same time made him more alert to what would happen next.

At the same time, Alpha escaped from Julius in a thrilling manner, and was extremely surprised by his third commandment. It turned out that the third commandment that Alpha awakened was not the power of thunder and lightning at all. In fact, the third commandment that Alpha awakened had always been in a waiting state but had not been activated by the Church, and was in a vacant state. Therefore, when the disguiser transmitted his ability to Alpha, Alpha instantly activated the other party's body transformation ability.

As for the power of thunder mastered by Alpha, it was actually just a technique he learned from the Eastern Heavenly Master, and had no direct connection with the power of the Vatican's precepts.

At this moment, Alpha finally understood the essence of the power of the Vatican's commandments - they are basically used to activate the body's potential, rather than simply relying on the size of the fighting spirit.

The original power of thunder depends on the amount of energy in the body, which makes Alpha very confused. Now, everything is clear.

However, although Alpha has acquired new abilities, he dare not use them easily. Because this kind of body transformation occupies his third commandment, and that person is the child of the Pope and the brother of Lady Athena. No matter how complicated the relationship between them is, Alpha dare not risk exposing his true identity. This contradictory mood made Alpha fall into deep contemplation.

At the same time, Alpha also realized that his knowledge of this art of disguise was too shallow, and this ability was far beyond his imagination. As long as he had seen a person before, whether male or female, Alpha could perfectly imitate their appearance and body proportions, and it was almost impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the external performance.

However, at this moment, Alpha decided to completely forget about the Third Commandment, because it involved important people such as Athena, the Pope, and Julius. These connections made him feel uneasy and made him realize that he had to handle this power more carefully.

At this moment, a hurried and anxious voice broke Alpha's meditation: "Lord Alpha, it's bad, Lady Athena has been captured by the enemy!" This was Gilliana's voice, her tone was full of worry and panic. After hearing the news, Alpha immediately stood up from his seat, with a cold light flashing in his eyes - he knew that he would face an unprecedented challenge next.

"What happened? Lead me." Alpha immediately pulled Gilliana forward. His voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if the whole world had become blurred at this moment.

"I'll lead the way, Master Alpha." Strong also ran over and took the initiative to lead the way. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was ready to face everything.

"Lord Alpha, this is what happened. Just when we were about to leave, a group of men in black suddenly appeared." Gilliana's voice trembled. She tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't hide the fear in her heart.

"They used a gray powder to sprinkle on Lady Athena, and then Athena fainted and was captured by the enemy. We didn't have time to react and they killed several of us. We were no match for them and could only watch them take Lady Athena away."

Gilliana's words hit Alpha's heart like a heavy hammer. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with anger and helplessness. He knew that the most important thing now was to find Athena as soon as possible and rescue her safely.

"We must act now!"
