Chapter 284: What Justifies a Knight’s Battle? (7)
The old knight, who had been calm and kind throughout, suddenly spoke with a stern tone.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, so I’ll clarify: our knight order has never practiced necromancy.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I’ll say it again—we do not practice necromancy. And certainly not black magic!”
“Yes, yes....”
“That armor is made using only alchemy and medical techniques. Although the material is made from monster bones and muscles, it’s been purified through holy water. By the way, the power that moves the armor comes from the spirits we’ve subdued. For the ghost horses, think of it as a contract with the spirit of an animal still attached to this world. So I’d appreciate it if you would not misunderstand.”
“I thought you kept saying there were no misunderstandings...”
“Hmm, did I? I see...”
“...Did you have a lot of misunderstandings?”
“...Yes. A lot... many, in fact...”
“....”
The old knight’s murmurs revealed a deep sorrow, filled with years of injustices.
