In the center of the continent of Eldora, the Pillar of Holy Light stands, emitting divine light. Two hundred years ago, darkness enveloped the earth until the Paladin Arthur led the power of light to disperse it and save the continent. In order to forever confine the darkness, Arthur transformed into a holy sword to suppress the surge of darkness. However, as time passed, the holy sword gradually weakened, the darkness stirred again, and monsters escaped from the seal and eroded the land of light. A king causes a continent-wide uproar when he announces that his child Gareth bears the same stigmata as Arthur.

Paladin Arthur's Successor Damon

Most of the time, the Arthur's Successor Damon remained in the temple and accepted the teachings of the bishops and paladins. He occasionally appeared at large celebrations, allowing the public to glimpse his true appearance.

So everyone says that they have seen the Damon, but no one knows what the Arthur's Successor Damon is like.

John joined the Knights of the Temple less than two months ago, he had no magical talent and no chance to be a Holy Knight, but his father was a Holy Knight of the diocese. With the help of his father, John was successfully chosen as the Holy Knight.

He failed to be on the same team as the Arthur's Successor Damon. When Daemon's team of Holy Knights set off through the crowd, Juan's team was already staggering along the road.

But there is some gossip, something that Juan's father accidentally let slip:

Revealing that Paradin Arthur's Successor Damon may not actually be on the so-called Paradin Arthur's Successor Team. The great traveling ceremony was a cover-up to ensure that the dark monster would not plot against the true Arthur's Successor.

Maybe the Damon is among them, on the boring march, John thought boredly.

Then he himself rejected the idea. Juan observed for two days and did not find any suspects.

Some of his companions were of noble origin, some were of low origin, some were arrogant, some were humble, some were sophisticated, some were young and none particularly stood out in good aspects.

Next to Juan rode Gareth , who was as young as him, a man who always had a smile on his face and looked very optimistic.

Juan assumed that he might be the illegitimate of a noble family, and his family forced him to enter as Knights to accumulate military merits.

"What are you thinking about, so unfocused?" Gareth asked him.

Juan looked around and saw that there was no one around to share this secret with Gareth in a low voice: "I heard rumors that the Arthur's Successor Damon might not be with the Holy Knights Team, but rather he went to another team, but I think that our team there is no longer hope."

Saint Gareth couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

 

"You are only half right, Juan," he said with a cheerful smile, "the Damon is certainly not in the team of Holy Knights."

Before Juan understood what he meant, he heard the other party say lightly: "Because I am the Damon."

The team entered a small town on a cold spring morning, the mayor provided them with the best food and shelter to entertain them, and found a group of girls standing on both sides of the road to welcome them.

This city is still a five-day journey from the Secret Forest in the south, and it also takes three days to reach the Flower City, the border city that guards the Secret Forest.

However, traces of evil monsters were found locally.

Either the evil monsters in the Secret Forest crossed the Flower City and headed inland by some means, or the area covered by the Blood Moon expanded. No matter what the possibility is, it is worthy of a team of Knights to explore.

The knights took turns patrolling the surroundings and indeed found traces of sporadic monsters, all of them unintelligent and low-level monsters, and beasts that had been corrupted by dark forces. In reality, this is an even worse situation, meaning that there is a high possibility that the Blood Moon's power will increase.

Gareth and another knight, Jock, rode back to the village. Their situation today was the same as the previous days. They killed several low-level monsters and found no new clues.

Those who can join into the Knights of Holy Capital are not ordinary people. Some are relatives of high officials of the Holy Capital, others are talented and loyal knights selected from various places. Jock belongs to the latter. He is tall and muscular, and the arm wielding a broadsword is thick and powerful. It is easier to deal with low-level monsters than to smash an insect to death for him.

Gareth was happy to have the opportunity to be lazy, watching from the side as Jock cleaned up the monsters and exclaiming, "What admirable power. With you here, there is no need for me to act."

Jock had seen many people like Gareth who had infiltrated the Knights thanks to the power of their families, and the one before him was not too troublesome.

"This is the first time I have left the Holy Capital."

Gareth said: "Everything outside is very different from the Holy Capital."

Of course. - thought Jock -.

From the perspective of an outsider like him, everything in the Holy Capital is completely different from other places. The entire city grounds were paved with stone slabs, and the churches were covered with golden roofs, all made of genuine pure gold, shining brightly on every sunny day.

At dawn, the bells from the towers rang and the gates of the Holy Capital slowly opened. All the outsiders who entered the city, when they stepped on the stone floor, without exception, felt as if they were in heaven, stepping on the clouds.

If you could live in a place like that, no one would want to leave. Jock hoped that he could live in the Holy Capital for the rest of his life, instead of being sent to such a remote place to kill evil monsters like now.

 "Why did you join the Knights?" Jock asked, "if you become a priest or something, not only will you be able to stay in the Holy Capital, but you won't have to live or eat outside and go such a remote place."

"This is the decision of the elders."

Gareth said: "I don't hate going out. It's very boring to be in the same place all the time, with the same buildings, the same food and the same people. Everything is always clean, orderly and sacrosanct. I want to see a different world."

Jock smiled knowingly and suddenly felt that this boy was more adorable than he thought.
