Chapter 222: A Tragic Sacrifice

Hearing his words, the Pope was a little surprised, and asked, "Curse?" What's going on here, Fairbanks?"

"Oh? Pope, you don't know?" Fairbanks was shocked and said, "So, you don't know what happened during this time?"

"Yes, I still don't know anything, I've sent people here to investigate, but they haven't found anything and no one has returned." The old pope said.

Fairbanks nodded thoughtfully after hearing the Pope's words, and said, "It may be that they blocked all the news, but they probably didn't expect that I would survive and see you, Your Majesty the Pope. In that case, I will sue you for it."

Then Fairbanks glanced up at the roof and said, "You know, Your Majesty, the Great Lord is no longer there?"

"Ember Bringer - Mogni?" The Pope was taken aback.

Farbanks nodded, "Yes, it's High Lord Mogni, the original founder and leader. He was a knight of pure faith and strong will. Mogny was later betrayed by his own son and killed by the Dark Lord's forces in Stratholme. That's why I'm hiding here......"

When Li Peng heard this, he realized that the people in this blood-colored church still had such a big secret.

"Why didn't I understand you." The Pope frowned.

"Your Excellency, Your Holiness, you also know how sacred our Scarlet Church is, when the heroic battle was on the front lines of humanity. The heat, stupidity, and extreme behavior that you see now did not exist at that time. Until they were corrupted and degraded, the great legions of knights were not what one might think, until the fall of the Great Lord......"

Farbanks let out a long exhalation and said, "The Great Lord is our core. Yes, Mogny is known as the Ember Bringer because he is up against the Lich King's army. With his blade and faith, Mogany can ride into the army of the undead. And unscathed. Everywhere he goes, his enemies will be reduced to ashes. Do you understand? Even death is afraid to face him! There will only tremble in front of him! Although we eventually retreated, it was because there was no follow-up support. If...... If you could have given us some people, the results would have been different today."

The Pope also knows that he is telling the truth. But this is only in the if, and he didn't have much say at the time, "I know what you said, I understand how great Mogni's power is, but how did he die?"

Fairbanks said: "Heroes usually die for only three reasons, one is death in battle, the second is disease, and the third is betrayal. One of us made a deal with the Dark Lord! A raid by an ambushed rebel army led to Mogni's death. The cause of this incident. But it was the person he trusted and loved the most that betrayed him! "

"You mean ......"

The Pope didn't expect it to be like this, Mogny believed the most, and there were only three people Ren loved the most, one was her wife who had died at the time of the dark invasion, and the other two were his sons, and the younger son had been fighting on the front line, and now he was already a qualified commander, which he knew, and there was only one other person left by his side.

Farbanks nodded and said, "Yes, it's little Mogney. Famous leader of the Scarlet Church, however...... I'm even more puzzled, what exactly is the deal between the Great Knights and the darkness? He led an ambush on Mogni. He slew his father like a lamb."

"How do you know that?" The Pope asked, after all, this is a difficult thing to accept, and it is more unacceptable to betray the people you love the most than to humiliate the enemy.

Fairbanks was not angry at the Pope's doubts, he took off the cloak on his body, lifted the clothes he wore inside, and saw countless scars and festering wounds in front of him, although the face was already healed, but there were still some zài on the body, but it was slowly getting better under the nourishment of the blood of God and the holy light

"Because I was there...... I am the Great Lord's most trusted mentor. I should know...... I had a hunch that something was wrong. I should have stopped it. Do you believe that there were thousands, if not more, of the Dark Legion at that time?"

"Thousands? Just one person?" The Pope said incredulously.

And Li Peng imagined the result of a thousand people dealing with him at this time. That's chilling, no matter what artifact you have. There are no magic skills, it is all useless. One person can drown you with a mouthful of spit.

Unless you are God.

Falbanks smiled, looked at the Pope, and said, "He's the Ember Bringer, my Pope!" And his title does not refer only to the weapon in his hand, but to the combination of him and the weapon. As the Dark Legion began to approach us, Mogni's Excalibur began to glow...... Resound...... When little Mogney saw this, he was ready to choose a way to escape. They immediately went on a frenzied attack on us, something like madness I've never seen before. But ......"

"But?" The Pope was anxious, "But what?"

Fairbanks looked in one direction and said softly, "But that's more."

At this time, Fairbanks had already regained his normal face with a shallow smile, and his eyes were looking straight away, and his brain was already caught in the memory.

"A thousand came, a thousand died, and several times the army came. By the power of the Light! By the power of Mogni! He could have crushed them completely. In the midst of the scuffle, I noticed that little Mograini was staying where he was, keeping his distance. I shouted at him, help us, Renault! Come and help your father, kid! "

"Did he help?"

At this time, Li Peng had already . [,! Fascinated by this, he asked before the Pope spoke.

Fairbanks shook his head...... "No, he's been standing in the back, watching the army of the undead rush towards us. Soon after, my strength was also exhausted. I was the first to fall...... I thought I would be torn apart piece by piece by them, and then I would be unconscious. But they ignored me completely, focused all their attention on the Great Lord, and ran towards him like crazy, stepping over my 'corpse'."

Fairbanks looked pained and closed his eyes.

"When the Dark Legion's wounded or dead bodies fall on top of me, the only thing I can do is play dead. It felt very dark at the time, with only the muffled sounds of battle surrounding me. The sound of iron colliding, biting and crushing...... Disgusting, chilling sounds. Eventually, silence fell. After so many disturbing sounds, all of a sudden, I heard a voice calling me! Fairbanks! Where are you, Fairbanks? Answer me Farbanks! …… I looked suspiciously in the direction the voice came from. I saw that treacherous white-eyed wolf, human ......"

Hearing this, everyone held their breath tightly, for fear that their slight voice would disrupt his narrative.

Farbanks said indignantly, "The boy picked up the Ember Bringer, then turned around and stabbed his biological father in the heart with his sword. The Great Lord's deathbed words still echo in my mind: What have you done, Renault? Why are you doing this?"

"Although the Great Lord was trying his best to destroy all the enemies, it also caused him to lose all his strength, and tragedy happened at this moment."

When he finished speaking, the women behind Li Peng became sad and indignant, saying that they would kill this despicable human being, especially Corinna, who was originally a jealous and hateful person, and immediately took out her weapons and prepared to rush out after hearing this, but in the end she was caught by Li Peng.

Although Li Peng is also very angry, there must be a reason for everything, and we cannot generalize everything because of one thing.

Fairbanks added, "The Ember Bringer and Mograine are one. Did you know that this incident corrupted the Excalibur and caused Mogny to fall and turn his back on the Light and become one of the Dark Lord's Death Knights? I have vowed in my lifetime to expose the despicable crimes of this despicable human being. I stayed there for two days under the darkness of corruption and disease, in order to regain more strength and escape from this ruined city."

The Pope sighed and said, "And then you succeeded...... Or you wouldn't be here."

Fairbanks laughed, "Yes, I made it. Despair of little Mogney, I later returned to the Scarlet Chapel. I shouted, roared. I tell this story to anyone who will listen. And I was ruthlessly ravaged by my actions, I was already corrupted by the darkness, I was no longer able to heal, and they thought I was a person who had fallen into darkness, and I was dragged into this secret room...... It's the organization's darkest secret."

"Even though they locked me up here, someone listened to what I had said...... They heard me. This group later formed the Silver Dawn ......"

"What are you going to do with Fairbanks?" After listening to his words, the Pope asked.

Fairbanks looked at everyone, then turned his gaze on Li Peng, and said, "I want you to tell the Great Lord's son about this."

- System prompt: Do you accept the mission: Find Dari Mogney?

How could Li Peng give up such a good task, just imagine, the old pope must belong to a god-level NPC, and the task he received from him must not be low, and it seems that only he can take it, so it must be god-level, why not take it?

"Accept!"

- System prompt: You have accepted the mission: to find Dari Mogni. (To be continued)
