836: Chapter 836: 【Dead Sea Scrolls】 836: Chapter 836: 【Dead Sea Scrolls】 They got into the car, and about an hour later, they arrived at the mountain top.

From here, you could overlook the whole Milan city, making it a great place for sightseeing.

But Ye Chenfeng knew that this place was off-limits to outsiders, and no tourists would come here.

On the mountain top stood a castle, ancient and solemn in appearance, with thick walls a meter wide and triangular roofs.

The chapel within was supported by huge buttresses, with each arch line and every pattern surging towards sharp peaks, giving a sense of ascending upward.

The castle bore a distinctive emblem: an octagonal cross in white on a red background, the same mark as the one on the arm of the young man who found Ye Chenfeng.

It was referred to as the “Maltese Cross.”

“Please!”

Under the young man’s lead, Ye Chenfeng entered the castle.

Inside the castle, two rows of people lined up neatly, wearing half-monk robes, with knight armor beneath.

Each person held a long spear and a shield.

It felt like being in the middle of a medieval knight duel, the combination of knights forming a terrifying power that surged like a storm, suffocating.

Although these knights wielded the most primitive spears and shields, their combat prowess was terrifying enough to make modern military despair!

Maybe the sword-wielding knights did not belong to this era, but their existence was absolutely super powerful, far beyond ordinary people.

“Welcome, great Forbidden God King, to Saint John’s Castle!” A resonant and loud voice rang out.

At the end of the rows of knights appeared an elder, dressed in luxurious garments, even his single-horned, sky-reaching hat seemed to symbolize his noble status.

Beside him were two priests holding staffs, solemn and dignified.

“The Grand Prelate of the Saint John Knighthood?” Ye Chenfeng asked.

The elder placed his left hand over his chest, respectfully saying, “Indeed, I am Carlos!”

Ye Chenfeng nodded, “I have heard of you!”

“It is my honor!” Carlos felt a kind of flattered surprise.

Then, Carlos hosted Ye Chenfeng in the castle, with specially crafted wine tantalizing his taste buds.

“Grand Prelate Carlos, what do you have to say?

My time is not very abundant!” Ye Chenfeng said while swirling the wine.

“First of all, please forgive my abruptness in inviting you here this way!

But rest assured, our Saint John Knighthood harbors no malice!” Carlos said cautiously, fearing to upset Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng smiled, “I know you have no malicious intent, otherwise those few people you sent would not even be enough to satisfy my appetite.”

“Yes…

Yes!” Carlos showed a trace of embarrassment, and smiled politely.

“Those few lads were decent, they must be your knighthood’s seven-star knights, right?” Ye Chenfeng asked.

Carlos nodded heavily, “Indeed, your keen eyes recognized them at a glance.”

Ye Chenfeng’s lips curled into a smile, “Unfortunately, they are still far inferior compared to the Dragon Knights of the Holy Knight Hall.”

Carlos’s forehead sprouted a few black lines, and he echoed, “Indeed, we are far behind the Holy Knight Hall.

This is also part of why I invited you here.”

“Speak!” Ye Chenfeng said.

“Since medieval times, our knighthood has been declining day by day, and now we are a mere shadow of our former selves.

Moreover, we are under a curse, which is nearing its deadline.

When the time comes, the entire Mount Saint John along with the castle will collapse, and all those marked by the knighthood will perish.

Essentially, the whole Saint John Knighthood will be wiped out and disappear from existence.

Due to the curse, the knights can only exert one-tenth of their power, with most of their strength permanently frozen within their bodies.

This is also why our Saint John Knighthood seldom moves around; we struggle with self-preservation, let alone expansion beyond.” Carlos explained.

Ye Chenfeng listened with a mocking smile, and said, “Grand Prelate Carlos, don’t tell me you mean I can lift your curse?”

Carlos shook his head, “Not exactly, but you can find the ‘Dead Sea Scrolls,’ which contains the method to lift the curse.”

“Where is the Dead Sea Scrolls?” Ye Chenfeng asked.

Carlos shook his head again, “I don’t know either, but our knighthood’s two High Priests said some ancient methods could locate it.

However, employing these methods requires your cooperation!”

Behind Carlos, the two High Priests nodded, having been observing Ye Chenfeng ever since he entered the castle.

“Is it troublesome?” Ye Chenfeng asked.

The two High Priests hesitated, exchanged glances, then one of them said, “Not very troublesome, just a bit time-consuming.

It will not pose any danger!”

“Sorry, I have another thing on hand right now, no time.

Maybe next time!”

After hearing this, Ye Chenfeng stood up directly, refusing Carlos.

“It concerns the fate of the entire Saint John Knighthood, please consider!” Carlos quickly called out, “I am willing to exchange half of our knighthood’s wealth for this chance, although we keep a low profile, we have vast assets.”

“I will consider it when I get the chance!”

Ye Chenfeng firmly decided to leave, disregarding the offer of half the knighthood’s wealth, stepping away resolutely.

“Click…”

A neat sound echoed, two rows of knights blocking Ye Chenfeng.

“Trying to keep me here forcibly?” Ye Chenfeng sneered.

“Let him pass!” Carlos ordered.

Upon hearing Carlos’s command, the knights moved aside.

“Forbidden God King, I will send someone to escort you.” Carlos added.

Ye Chenfeng snapped his fingers, “That would be ideal.”

“High Priest Tasf, is it only through the Forbidden God King?” Carlos couldn’t help asking, unable to forcefully keep Ye Chenfeng.

The priest known as Tasf nodded, “Just now, we confirmed, he is the one we need.

Only through him can we find the Dead Sea Scrolls.”

“Alas!” Carlos sighed deeply, “Now that he refuses, there’s nothing we can do.”

“Can’t we use some means?

It’s said that two women are accompanying the Forbidden God King in Milan.”

Carlos shook his head, “Dispel that thought immediately, if we anger him, our knighthood’s demise could come even sooner.

Now we can only observe him, see if he needs something, and use it for exchange.”

“That’s all we can do!”

Carlos sent people to escort Ye Chenfeng back to the distance, and Ye Chenfeng mocked, “Want me to work for you?

Dream on!

Don’t even think about it!

Half the knighthood’s wealth, money is not that easy to earn!”
