Chapter 907 889. Dolan Knights Dark Moon
King Osroais, who has always led Lothric, became the king of the overlord country in the end of fire.
Lan En has heard a lot about this king.
In the general impression, this king is simply a wise and courageous leader of the generation.
But the problem is that this wise and powerful king seems to have only existed in 'hearing'.
The name of King Osrois made Lan En, who was standing quietly in the distance, listen more carefully.
During the confrontation, the leader of the Knights of Lothric indeed lowered his voice and said with hatred.
"You know that His Majesty refuses to see people and locks himself in the courtyard to do research, Brother Maruk!"
"Yes, I know." Blue Knight Commander Maruk in the armor smock said calmly, "So I also know that you have no orders from His Majesty at all."
"And without His Majesty's direct orders, you want to change the prince's Order, that is rebellion!”
"Now it seems that your chivalry has deteriorated to this point, captain."
"Our chivalry is to serve Lothric and maintain the fire!" The knight leader took an excited step forward, armor Then it made a 'click' sound.
He wore a ring on his hand that was the same shape as the ring on Emma's officiant's hand, except that the pattern on the ring was a white silhouette of a knight.
"There is a web of conspiracy now, trying to take advantage of the deadlock in the Fire Ceremony to target Lothric. Is your chivalry just a matter of sitting idly by?"
"Scaremongering. "Knight Commander Maruk denied coldly.
In his opinion, this seemed to be just a 'man-made crisis' jointly created by the group leader and the officiant in order to promote the fire-passing ceremony.
"In the face of evidence, it is not too late for you to say 'alarmist'."
Lorenzo stood up from behind the leader. He also has high seniority in the Knights of Lothric. , the combat effectiveness is also the first echelon.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to pick up the Lothric knight's sword.
This kind of great sword requires the user to have excellent strength, agility, and skill. It is not an equipment that can be distributed to just anyone who wants to use it.
Therefore, knights who can use this kind of sword have a certain say in the knights.
Lorenzo first handed the dragon-patterned shield on his back to Knight Commander Maluk, and then walked towards Lan En.
As he walked, he told about the riot on the bridge, and patted Lan when he came to him.
Lan En also spoke up to testify at the right time, proving that Lorenzo's words were accurate.
“The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, and I have even sent dozens of dragon-patterned shields to the Knights’ dragon training ground.”
Lorenzo stood next to Lan and faced Maluk.
"Even if it is perjury, do you think I can produce dozens of dragon-patterned shields? Do I have that ability?"
"Who has the ability to make such a shield? I think You should know very well. After all, you often go to the sages’ library on behalf of the prince, right?”
Knight Commander Maluk was silent for a moment.
"That's the prince's consultation to the sages, okay? I will go back to the Dragon Training Ground to check the physical evidence, and I will also sort out the witness's testimony and submit it to His Highness the Prince."

"Let's talk about this today." He waved his blue cloak with gold patterns, and left without saluting the two higher-status people present.
If it were in a regular and strict knighthood, this kind of behavior alone would be enough to be accused of 'contempt of superiors'.
It seems that the split within the Knights has become so obvious that they don’t even want to play the show anymore.
Lan watched Knight Commander Maluk exit. He walked directly to a tower next to the high wall, and his figure disappeared under the shadows.
Maruk, who represented at least half of the strength of the Knights of Lothric, broke up unhappy.
This scenario seems to have happened many times during this time when the flames are dimming.
So much so that the knight leader only sighed under his helmet instead of getting angry.
On the contrary, it was Emma who was the officiant
Lan En looked at the old priest through the silver hair hanging down from the corners of his eyes. Instead, he felt a sense of determination from the officiant that the matter was over.
“Lorenzo.”
Priest Emma suddenly called out to the knight commander.
"I am here, my lord."
"Take our witness down to rest first. He must be very tired after traveling a long distance and going through riots, especially in this difficult time where the flames are dim. time. Don’t neglect to ask someone to help you as a witness, go ahead and do it.”
Priest Emma said, asking Lorenzo to arrange life needs for Lan En.
But from the demon hunter's point of view, the chief priest and the knight leader, who were still standing motionless, looked more like they wanted to discuss something that could not be heard by others and were dismissed and cleared.
So Lan En smiled at Knight Commander Lorenzo who was leading him away. At the same time, he deliberately slowed down his pace and asked him about some trivial things in the city.
The demon hunter's senses began to amplify in the process.
He successfully heard the conversation between the knight leader and the officiant.
“We can’t delay any longer, that’s what I think.”
“But it takes strength to execute this dangerous idea. Emma officiates.”
When the knight leader judged the officiant's words, he obviously went through a psychological struggle before speaking hesitantly.
“My knighthood has been reduced by one-third due to the curse of the undead. The decline in strength is unprecedented since the establishment of the Knights of Lothric!” “But I and my Holy Orders They will fully support you."
"But the sages will also fully support the other faction in the knights, won't they?"
The head of the knights and the chief priest. They began to integrate the forces possessed by both parties one by one in order to implement their plan.
But it is obvious that the situation is not optimistic.
"The sages have received a large library from His Majesty. It is precisely because of their rapid expansion of power that we can entrust each other with trust, Emma, the priest. With all due respect, from a comparison of strength, the sages There is no doubt that it is an advantage. We are at a disadvantage."
"Yes, we cannot deny the fact."
The old woman's voice was low, but she still had no intention of giving up.
"What about finding some foreign aid? Is this feasible? For example, the Dolan Knights? Or asking for help from the Dark Moon Pope of Irithyll?"
"The Dark Moon Cult serves Gwendelin, the youngest son of King Gwen, the Shadow Sun. He is now the leader of the God Clan and must also be a staunch supporter of the Fire Pass!"
Knights of the "Dolan Knights" The leader said thoughtfully.
“Although Lothric accepted many refugees, knowledge and talents from their hometown, Dolangureg, after it was destroyed by Casas, and even accepted Dolangureg’s strong influence. Dragon culture."
"From a dragon-hunting country to now being with dragons"
"But the Dolan Knights became a mess thousands of years ago. , they have lost their character as knights and are now just mercenaries. I don’t know if I can trust them anymore.”
"Don't they care about the flames?"
Priest Emma cannot understand that the existence of mercenaries depends on the order environment of all countries in the world, and the world order depends on the First Fire.
The flames are almost extinguished, why are you still working as a mercenary?
But the knight leader obviously knows these people better than the officiant.
“The prince will not say anything about the flames when he hires them, he will only say that we are a rebel. And if we start fighting and we tell them that we are fighting for the flames, they will only say I thought this was just a tactic to confuse people with words.”
"When people are allowed to fight, there is no need to explain clearly the causes and consequences. Once they go to the battlefield and start fighting, they can't help but want to quit."
"So in my opinion, it's better not to give up those mercenaries at all. Invite."
"As for Irushil you are talking about"
The knight leader seemed a little hesitant.
“The executioners of the Dark Moon Cult, the Sword of the Dark Moon, have not appeared in front of people for too long? I am not sure how much power they still have.”
"Everything we can have is just a little. The matter has come to this, and we must go all out. Send a messenger to Dark Moon Pope Sullivan without delay."
At this point, the agreement is basically settled.
The chief priest and the head of the knights have made up their minds to proceed with the fire-passing ceremony on behalf of the princes who have been reluctant to pass the fire and the king who locked himself in the courtyard.
At first glance, it seems that no matter what, this world with dim flames and slow death will usher in a change.
But before the ‘planned’ changes come
Lan En, who was walking slowly behind Lorenzo, had just asked him whether Lothric's current food situation was optimistic.
Lorenzo answered him bitterly: Although there is no food growing under the 'Bleeding Eclipse', humans become immortal or simply die at a rate far faster than the food consumption. quick.
So Lothric's food reserves are actually very optimistic.
It can be considered a 'good news' full of hellish atmosphere.
But after saying this, Lorenzo suddenly felt Lan En behind him stop.
Under his raised visor, only one and a half of his eyebrows were furrowed, and he turned to look behind him.
But he found that his 'witness' was squinting his eyes slightly and his beautiful nose was twitching slightly.
“What are you smelling?”
Lorenzo asked in confusion.
But Lan En only focused on identifying the odor information in his nasal cavity.
This smell is distinctive in the high walls of Lothric.
Because this high wall was originally a military facility, it was filled with the smell of soldiers' sweat, the smell of maintenance oil on weapons, and even the smell of blood and dust.
There are also residential buildings nearby, which adds a flavor of food and drinks to the neighborhood.
But now, the smell that appears in Lan En's witcher's senses
"The smell of old book pages, and the strong smell of candles."
Under Lorenzo's puzzled eyes, Lan En said softly.
"To be honest, I am actually quite gifted in my sense of smell. These smells. You built a library on a high military wall?"
"These pages and ink The old smell is very unique and very strong."
"Library? On the high wall?" Lorenzo looked at Lan En with a strange look. "Are you crazy?"
But then, he heard Lan En's whispered words and saw the caution and seriousness in those cat eyes.
