In the end, the paladins and adventurers did not fight, not because Bishop Pelonandi stopped them, but because the paladins knew from the adventurers that their exploration of the Black Forest was actually led by Cervantes, and then gathered nearly a thousand powerful adventurers and brought a squadron of soldiers before entering the Black Forest.

Later, many adventurers came to the gold mines, because the Black Forest is a place rich in natural resources, and the 'free mining of gold mines' is just a reason for adventurers to make up their minds.

The knights who lead the team are all superordinary-level powerhouses, not to mention that one ride is a thousand, one ride is absolutely no problem, the 'fire of life' can make them have a fighting spirit, and the 'light of will' can give them the ability to inspire the spirit of the general spell-like ability, only one person's extraordinary knight is not terrible, but the extraordinary knight who leads an army can be said to be able to fight against a thousand people with a hundred people.

It is not difficult to train a knight, but it is difficult for a knight to achieve 'extraordinary'.

When the paladins learned that the team that had pioneered the Black Forest was actually a team consisting of a legend, several knights of the rank of knight, a squadron of battle-hardened soldiers, and more than 800 powerful adventurers, they realized that they might have been tricked by the black dragon again.

It's not that the Empire and Moro together can't form such a team, it's just that neither the Empire nor Moro will use their strength for this kind of thing, because the elemental restlessness and magic infestation of the Black Forest can't be eliminated, even if a lot of power is used in this kind of place, it's not worth it.

But they couldn't believe that there could be so many knights of the 'Knight Chief' level in a duke's county.

As far as they knew, except for a few famous warbands, the leaders of the other warbands were all knights of the rank of knight chief.

It is unreasonable that there can be so many extraordinary knights in a small dukedom!

The paladins withdrew their swords with ugly faces and glanced at the black dragon standing next to them.

Being teased again and again, even the best old people will be angry, right? But now they really don't have the courage to do anything to this black dragon.

Originally, they thought that the legions and warbands defending the frontier of the empire were insulted, so they drew their swords in anger, but now that they knew the truth, in the face of those 'true words', the paladins asked themselves, they no longer had the courage to draw their swords against the duke.

And even if they draw their swords, they may not be able to fight.

At this point, they wondered a little why the Church had sent them to the Storm of Sorrow? Bishop Pelonandi and the priests didn't need protection at all!

At noon, when the two knights arrived with their team, the clergy were taken aback.

"Knight Suman, Knight Rodrigue, it's really hard for you. ”

Cervantes nodded to the two knights, then looked at the group of soldiers, and shouted happily: "Soldiers, today at noon we will eat roast whole pigs!"

"Long live the lord!"

Looking at the cheering soldiers, Knight Suman and Knight Rodrigo glanced at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Every time the lord is present, the atmosphere is so warm, but the problem is that they are soldiers, and they have other tasks to do.

However, it is difficult for them to refuse the kindness of the lord themselves...... And the lord's craftsmanship is really good, and the dishes are particularly delicious!

Not only the soldiers, but also the adventurers cheered, because the lord had made them prepare three wild boars from the beginning, apparently not forgetting their presence.

The priesthood and the crew of the airship did not ask the adventurers and soldiers to help, and after taking the tent from the soldiers, they set up their tents themselves next to the adventurers' camp, and then they could not help but be shocked when they saw the 'wild boar' dragged out by the adventurers.

"Isn't this a monster? You eat this?!"

A priest in the clergy camp screamed, and the adventurers and soldiers looked at them in a daze, and one of the soldiers asked in confusion, "Don't you eat monsters?"

"Can monsters eat it?!"

Faced with another suspicion from the clergy, the soldiers of the Sorrowful Wind Leader fell into deep thought, and the adventurer whispered:

"Can't you eat monsters?"

"Why can't you? Aren't those soldiers eating well?"

"Then why did the priest say you can't eat it?"

The adventurer who was asked looked back at the priests a few times, then turned his head and muttered, "Maybe they're more delicate...... Anyway, aren't we okay if we ate it before?"

"yes, what are we afraid of?"

The adventurers were at ease, and the soldiers of the Sorrowful Wind Leader came back to their senses, and they said, "But we have been eating like this for hundreds of years! Overwatch is close to the Black Forest, and there is no other place here where we can eat meat except the Black Forest, so we don't eat this...... What do we eat?"

Faced with the righteousness of the adventurers and the rightfulness of the soldiers of the Tragic Wind Leader, the priests fell into a state of stupor.

Monsters are infected and mutated by magic elements due to the astral passage of the Inland Sea, and unlike giant beasts, monsters are 'mutated', and people who have eaten monster meat in the past few hundred years may mutate......

"Eating monsters will mutate?"

Hearing this, the adventurers glanced at the soldiers of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and laughed one after another, "Hahahaha, how is it possible! How can it be ...... to eat monsters?"

Before they could finish speaking, their smiles froze on their faces.

One of the soldiers noticed that the eyes of the adventurers and the clerics had fallen on him, his face turned red, he withdrew his sharp claws, and shyly twisted his head to the side.

"it?!"

After looking at each other, the adventurers bounced off the ground as if they had been stepped on by their tails, ran to the side of the priests, looked at the soldiers of the Sorrowful Wind Collar with strange eyes, glanced at the boar monsters with disgust, and then looked away as if they had been pricked by needles.

At this time, Cervantes was still very puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"

The two knights and numerous soldiers were also puzzled, what's wrong with this?

One of the adventurers gritted his teeth and creaked, "Lord Duke, why didn't you tell us that eating the flesh of monsters might mutate us?"

"Isn't that common sense?" asked Cervantes, puzzled.

"yes, isn't that common sense?" the soldiers asked.

The adventurers suddenly found that even the priests looked at them as if they were mentally retarded, and an upright paladin said in a rough voice: "Adventurers, this is indeed common sense, we were still wondering why you dared to eat monster meat, it turned out that you didn't know anything!"

"Adventurer, remember—in the Black Forest, don't try to challenge the 'laws of the Black Forest', beasts, giant beasts, and monsters can still be eaten, but the meat of monsters is absolutely not edible! Monsters include not only animals, but also plants, insects, elemental creatures, etc., the mutation of those soldiers has stabilized, but we outsiders are different. ”

"In short, you can't eat anything in the Black Forest, and if you encounter something strange, it's best not to get close, just leave. ”

The paladin glanced at Cervantes and asked the adventurers, "Now, do you dare to eat monster meat?"

The adventurer hurriedly shook his head, even the most curious and greedy adventurer did not dare to eat a bite of monster meat now.

After hearing the words, Cervantes turned his head and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, our guests don't eat the food we have prepared, but I don't want the ingredients to be wasted, so what is your answer?"

"Eat!!"

The conversation between the clergy and the adventurers didn't dampen the soldiers' interest at all, but they were even more excited by the fact that they could get more meat.

The Suman Knight nodded apologetically to the clerics and adventurers, but Bishop Pelonandi glanced worriedly at Cervantes.

He finally understood why the Storm Leader was so powerful now.

The mutations on those soldiers have stabilized, which also means that the mutations on their bodies have been passed down from their ancestors, and as far as he knows, all the monsters can reproduce are benign mutations, because survival of the fittest is the law of nature, and it is the most core of the 'Black Forest Law'.

Humans who have undergone mutation are similar to monsters, and only benign mutations can reproduce.

After several generations, their mutation has now gradually changed into 'bloodline'.

These soldiers are superior to them in the 'bloodline'!

This may be one of the reasons why the Tempest Collar is so powerful......

Eating cold and hard bread, I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

Bishop Pelonandi put down the bread in his hand, sighed, and looked at Cervantes melancholy.

'It seems that my faith in my lord is not strong enough......
