Lancelot, one of the twelve knights of the Round Table, rushed to the east for helping the Second Patriotic War of the Red Blood Empire, and met the Apocalypse judges second in the Apocalypse level. He also helped the northern border to defeat the oaths when the Eagle King marched westward. After returning to his country, he received the highest honorary gift from the Pope and was given the honorary title of "Pope Blade".

Not long after, the Legion Commander Hoan Risson commissioned Lancelot to take the important task of searching for the commander of the oath, Baitans, and eradicating the roots.

For the Cross Church, Lancelot left the border and left for nearly twenty years. He searched for the abandoner Yu Fu on the land in a foreign country, but Baitans was very cunning and did not leave any tricks for Lancelot, which made his nearly twenty years of hard work just useless.

Finally, due to age, the twilight Lancelot was recalled by the church, and a newcomer would take over his mission, and he would be able to retire in glory and enjoy his old age.

"Sir Knight, please help me find the children..." When passing by a village, Lancelot suddenly heard the sob coming from his side.

A simple-dressed woman was holding the cross on her chest tightly, looking at Lancelot with tears in her eyes. In the cold winter wind, her body couldn't help but tremble, so helpless, the house behind her was dark, as if she was the only one living.

Lancelot signaled his entourage to stop moving forward, then jumped off his horse, put his cashmere cloak on the woman's shoulder, and said with concern: "Great return to my lord, ma'am, please tell me in detail about the situation."

Seeing that the knight finally paid attention to her, the woman was already filled with tears. She almost knelt on the ground and begged: "My child disappeared a week ago. I searched all the places he would go to, but I couldn't find him. The neighbors around also said that I hadn't seen him this week, and I was really worried about him."

A week ago? It should be the time of Double Holy Week. The cubes were dormant and there were lively celebrations everywhere. Maybe this naughty kid had overplayed it? Forgot the way home? Lancelot thought so.

Lancelot patted the woman on the shoulder to comfort her and said softly: "Have you ever reported to the local Knights Order? What do the Knight Commander here say?"

When the woman heard this, she immediately shook her head and sobbed, saying, "They... they didn't seem to take it seriously, they just asked me to go home and wait, and even my name, and even my home is not asking where I am..."

"Absurd!" Lancelot's face suddenly became cold. He signaled his entourage to take a step forward, then helped the woman to the local Knights' residence, and said coldly, "Madam, please don't worry, I will uphold justice for you."

...

Lancelot rode a horse and brought the woman to the residence of the Knights. When the knights saw the armor unique to the Knights on the Round Table, they immediately showed a respectful look. After all, many of these knights in the garrison did not have the "Divine Seal" and could not be ranked one of the three major knights. Knights of the level of Lancelot are not even a question of whether they respect or not, but they are not qualified to see them at all.

Soon, the head of the knight came out, a orthodox knight with the divine seal. When he saw Lancelot, he immediately felt respectfully owe him, saying, "I am glad to see you, the great Lord."

Lancelot nodded symbolically to the Knight Master. Perhaps because he had heard about the Knight Master's indifference in advance, Lancelot had no subjective feelings for him and asked directly: "I have heard some bad rumors. You seem to be very cold about the disappearance of this lady's child."

The Knight owed a body to the sob woman, but there was no guilt in her eyes, and her voice was quiet: "I'm very sorry, Lord Lancelot, you have been abroad for a long time in recent years and have not come back for a long time. Maybe you don't know much about the local situation. Missing population is not an individual case, but a serious case in mass. Our manpower is not enough to track down every single case."

Lancelot glanced at the woman, who nodded with red eyes and whispered: "Yes, many friends and relatives of people are missing."

Lancelot frowned and looked at the head of the Knight and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, why don't you ask for help from the Vatican Holy See? Something must have happened here."

The Knight Chief Ruliu replied: "Yes, we did this. But the Pope ordered us not to care about these things and did not allow us to investigate."

"What?!" Lancelot's eyes sank quickly, and even his hand subconsciously placed on the knight's sword, and said coldly, "You should know what the charge is to insult the pope."

The Knight's expression was calm and he said calmly: "Of course, Lord Lancelot, I have never dared to blaspheme the Pope in my life, so I will not lie."

Lancelot subconsciously glanced at the divine seal on the knight's eyebrows. It appeared on it in an orderly and pure manner, indicating the piety in the knight's heart. The divine seal is not only the source of force for the knights, but also a proof of faith. Those cunning evildoers cannot have such pure divine seal.

Lancelot put his hand off his sword and said in confusion: "As you said, I was ordered by the Pope to stay abroad for a long time, searching for the whereabouts of the commander of the Swearing Abandoners. I haven't returned to the church for a long time and don't know much about some situations. But I really don't understand why the Pope disregards the safety of the civilians? She has always been a good pope who compassions with the people."

The Knight bowed and said, "Sorry, Lord Lancelot, this is not a question I can answer."

Lancelot knew that it was useless to argue with the lower knights here, and these people were just executors of the order, not the maker. He immediately led the woman away from the Knights' Residence and said seriously: "Madam, I will go to the Vatican overnight to meet the Pope, and I will definitely maintain justice for you."

When the woman heard that she was about to alarm the pope, she was so scared that she trembled all over. She quickly grabbed the cross on her chest and said tremblingly: "No... Lord Lancelot, maybe there is no need to do this... Maybe he just... got lost in somewhere..."

Lancelot's eyes were very firm. He held the woman's hand and patted it, saying, "This is my mission as a knight. Please go home and wait for my news. I believe that there must be omissions or misunderstandings during the transmission of the Pope's edict. I will ask Pope Nero to send more people here to reunite you."
