Xu Jun did not know what had happened behind him, and the mayor of Carloman finally breathed his last. He wanted to turn others into undead, but he had forgotten about himself. Therefore, he was dead, and there was no possibility of "resurrection."

Just a moment ago, Cardinal Carloman's words, which sounded as if he had been brainwashed by an evil cult, revealed a lot of information. He might have truly believed in the God of Light, but he was abducted by the God of Darkness, Helle. Thus, he changed his faith and changed his leader. Furthermore, he was preparing to use Mundama City as the evil cult's base, intending to mass-produce undead to help his new leader cause trouble.

Previously, Roschinke … the Dark Demon King had also said that the God of Darkness, Heller, was probably reborn. Now, it seemed that this was something that had happened recently.

But why Mundama City?

"Xu Jun …" While he was thinking, someone called his name from behind. The voice was hoarse and unpleasant like an old duck. Xu Jun turned around and saw the mayor of Newt, who was no longer in human shape.

The mayor of Mundama City, who had ruled for many years, did not survive the double blow of darkness and light. In fact, it was not easy for him to survive until now. The Life Potion and the dark elements had turned his body into a battlefield, fighting and fighting, but still leaving him with a trace of life. If it was only the dark elements, he might have become an undead long ago.

"Why would a normal person become an undead?"

Xu Jun sighed, but he thought of the elder brother that Cole and Irene said had died young, and then he thought of the senior death knight that he had met in the tunnel … He could guess the reason why the mayor of Newt did this.

Cole and Irene's elder brother, Reid Newt, was already an elite knight when he died in battle. Even if such a person became an undead demon, he would not be a low-level evil spirit. It was possible for him to become a death knight of the same level.

Death knights were completely different from demons. They were nobles among demons.

To become a death knight, one had to be born as a demon and train hard to become a death knight. Otherwise, one had to be a fighter of another race and be "resurrected" after death to become a death knight.

Therefore, in the eyes of the believers of the Illuminati, "resurrection" was a heinous and evil act, and the undead demons were regarded as cowards.

But for Xu Jun … it was not much different from changing his nationality.

The hall was completely silent. The candles flickered, and the light of the Saint Spirit Potion burned the blood magic patterns in the hall into ashes, giving off a burnt smell.

Xu Jun's footsteps were very careful. He did not want to destroy anything here, because this place was still useful.

The Bishop of Mundama City had changed his faith to the God of Darkness. This was a huge matter for the Illuminati, as well as a huge scandal. It was much more serious than the Bishop's sale of the Revelry Tree Vines.

All the nuns and friars in the church might have been killed, and then there would be no witnesses to what the Archbishop of Carloman had done.

The Illuminati was a religion that cared deeply about its reputation. They might whitewash Mundama City, and then secretly do something to make Mundama City's economy even more depressed. The Lord of Mundama City had just died, and his son was still young and immature, unable to shoulder the heavy burden. At that time, the city would really fall apart.

And the matter of the Archbishop of Carloman and the Church of Darkness would naturally be buried in the dust of history.

Not to mention that the Illuminati would not do such a thing, in fact, they had done much worse than this.

The massacre of heretics involved tens of thousands of people each time. In the past, there was a witch association that was dissatisfied with many of the church's dogmas and openly opposed them. In the end, all the members of the association were tied to the Sun God and sacrificed.

It was said to be a sacrifice, but in fact, they were burned alive.

When the Snow Blade Kingdom was still an empire, there was a governor of a province in the north who said that the Illuminati was no different from a cult after drinking. In the end, he was removed from his position by the church, and the family of the governor was also ostracized. The problem was that the province was very undisciplined and remote at that time in the Snow Blade Empire. It was only because the governor used forceful means that they could barely suppress it. In the end, after the governor stepped down, he did not do a good job of succeeding his position. The law and order in the province deteriorated year after year. When the Snow Blade Empire shrank into the Snow Blade Kingdom, the province almost became the home of criminals and robbers. It was no different from the barbaric northern Orcs.

Later, when the Snow Blade Empire shrank into a kingdom, the province called Mobei simply became independent and became the current Mobei Kingdom.

Did the Church of Light not know what would happen if they removed a capable Consul from his position?

No, they were very clear. But at that time, the Snow Blade Empire was very strong. The imperial power faintly suppressed the divine power. How could the Illuminati tolerate this kind of thing?

When Mobei Province became Mobei Kingdom, the unlucky one was the Snow Blade Empire. What did it have to do with the Illuminati?

But the people of Mobei Kingdom hated the Snow Blade Empire.

This was a political matter, so Xu Jun was not very clear about it.

But he was very clear that in the years when the Mobei Province did not have a strong governor, there were many incidents. Good people were displaced, and some merchants went to make money from the war, making the Mobei Province even more chaotic.

Later, the Mobei Province became independent and became the Mobei Kingdom. The city lost a lot of people, and a large number of refugees fled to the Snow Blade Kingdom. They were not properly managed and taken care of, and some of them became refugees.

It could be said that after the Snow Blade Empire shrank into a kingdom, half of the troubles in the north were caused by the Mobei Kingdom.

The Mobei Province became the Mobei Kingdom, and the Snow Blade Empire became the Snow Blade Kingdom. The twists and turns in the process were not as simple as Xu Jun understood.

But the consequences were obvious to everyone. The Illuminati was supreme. Their believers were full of kindness, justice, and light, but the things that their higher-ups did made people shudder.

Now, there were only two paths for Mundama City. One was to pretend to be peaceful and let the Illuminati slowly turn the city into a deserted city. The stain of the bishop's apostasy and belief in the God of Darkness would naturally be covered up. The second was to simply blow up the matter and let everyone know. This way, the Illuminati might not like Mundama City, but they would not be able to do anything to suppress this weather-beaten city. After all, they still knew how to pretend.

When Deinister chatted with Xu Jun before, he had expressed his dissatisfaction with the internal affairs of the Illuminati many times. But he was only the Holy Son. There was the Pope above him, and there was the Council of Elders on the other side. There was nothing he could do.

But there were many things that even a young man like Deinister, who had just turned 20, knew what he could and could not do.

Xu Jun looked down at the mayor of Newt, who had turned into a bloody mess. Half of his body was a ball of blood, and the other half was beginning to grow pustules. "In order to revive your eldest son, is it appropriate to sacrifice your second son and eldest daughter?"

A head and arms could still be seen in front of the ball of blood. He barely looked like a human.

One of his eyelids had already fallen down, making his eye bulge horribly. The other eye was a bloody mess, as if it could no longer see.

The bulging eye turned twice and looked at Xu Jun with great difficulty. "Irene and Cole … will also revive …"

Xu Jun understood that the mayor of Newt did not know much about the undead. Mundama City was not a city close to the Dark Abyss. The people here usually did not see the undead. If they wanted to come into contact with these dark creatures, they could only come into contact with them through books and other people's descriptions.

The mayor of Newt might have been deceived by Bishop Carloman. He might have thought that turning a human into an undead was a simple matter, but how could that be possible?

Even a Great Lich wouldn't be able to turn other creatures into Undead Demons.

Xu Jun looked behind the mayor of Newt. A young man wearing a black death knight's armor and holding a longsword stood there quietly.

He could only shake his head and say to the mayor of Newt, "Don't worry. Your eldest son, Reid, has been revived. Irene and Cole do not have to become undead demons anymore."

The mayor of Newt tried harder to raise his head. Xu Jun saw that his upper and lower lips had fallen off, revealing his pale teeth. However, the muscles on his cheeks twitched and he actually smiled. "Is that so? That's good, that's good …"

"Kill me," the mayor of Newt said in a trembling voice. "I am no longer human. Mr. Xu Jun, thank you for saving my children … and Mundama City … please end my pain … and let me go to hell."

"A dead person should die peacefully."

These were the last words the mayor of Newt left in the world.

His chest was pierced through by a sword. The person who killed him was not Xu Jun, but the young senior death knight, Reid Newt.

Weak humans killed by death knights would turn to dust because they could not withstand the dark elements.

Half of the mayor of Newt's body was still human. The other half was crushed by his eldest son as Xu Jun sighed.

"I think this will save him some dignity," Xu Jun said.

Reid did not speak.

As a human, dying at the hands of another human was considered an internal conflict. However, dying at the hands of a death knight could still be considered a sacrifice.

"With your human body, pray … that the merciful God of Light will cleanse all evil souls," the young death knight said.

The young Death Knight said as a teardrop fell from his eye socket. His pale cheeks were devoid of blood.

Unlike his father, he would never be able to return to the embrace of the light.

"Thank you." In the end, Reid bowed to Xu Jun with the etiquette of a human knight. It could be seen that he was a well-educated and elegant young man when he was still a human knight. "If you had not subdued Carloman first, I would not have been able to regain my freedom."

Although he was a high-level death knight, he was still a "creation". His creator was Archbishop Carloman. As long as the archbishop didn't die or was willing to set him free, he could only be an existence similar to a bodyguard or mercenary.

Xu Jun felt that Reid was really pitiful. His father was deceived and committed a serious crime that could destroy a city. After he was resurrected, he became the most shameless dark creature. His worldview was completely destroyed.

But he still had a question. "Reid, did the Holy Elixir not affect you?"

"Although it was diluted a thousand times, but … you are only a senior death knight."

Reid was speechless.

What the hell? Are senior death knights that weak?!!!
