Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Nicholas

10% of the personnel are used to sell various materials, and 30% are ordinary merchants, used to trade other resources.

The caravan has a clear division of labor, each taking what they need, forming an organization that can be called huge.

Of course, this kind of organization is actually not very strong, and is essentially a group of loose sand.

However, the general outline has already been formed. If it is really left alone, it will still cause Roa a lot of trouble in the future, so it is better to deal with it.

The other towns are more or less colluding. Human trafficking is really common here, and it has even reached the point of being rampant. The first town Roa saw earlier was considered good. Later, he simply threw the slaves on the ground and tied them with a chain, just putting them openly at the door, allowing others to visit.

"This is really like goods being placed openly, tsk tsk."

Roa walked on this somewhat barren street. Saying it was a street, it was actually just a small road simply paved with stones. The surrounding small houses looked dilapidated, and the air was filled with a stench.

That was the product of the mixture of rotting corpses and excrement. This smell was very strong, reminding Roa of the scenes of living in the countryside in the past.

However, even in the 1990s, there would not be such a strong smell.

Roa frowned and did not say much. He simply floated in the air and looked down from above.

Many people were hunching over, leaning against the walls, looking like they were dying.

Roa simply glanced at it and gave this city a death sentence.

This town is the most serious. Looking at this appearance, it will be gone in a while.

He was too lazy to look at the rest, so he returned the same way and found the village chief he had seen earlier.

Without saying a word, he directly crushed and controlled him with mental power, changing all of his cognition. In order to make it easier, Roa even directly fabricated a non-existent memory for him.

When the middle-aged village chief in front of him opened his eyes, his eyes were full of confusion, and along with the confusion, there was also a burst of dizziness.

"I, who am I?"

This was the first sentence the village chief said. He muttered to himself, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings, feeling very confused.

Suddenly, one picture after another flashed through his mind, and the look in his eyes gradually brightened.

"That's right, my name is Nicholas, and I am a Radiant Knight. Why am I here now?"

He frowned and pondered, and fragments of memories flashed through his mind.

He suddenly remembered that he was dead, dead in the fight against the monsters.

That was a world that prided itself on knights. The people there were kind, upright, honest, and friendly. It was a world of great harmony worthy of the name.

The people who lived there all took pride in becoming knights, and the ranks of knights were also divided into several types. From bottom to top, they were apprentice knights, lower-level knights, intermediate knights, upper-level knights, and the highest-level Radiant Knights.

Every knight has the power of the goddess's blessing, which can stimulate the potential in their hearts, thereby unleashing more powerful combat power.

But without a doubt, every knight abides by the eight virtues of chivalry.

The eight virtues are Humility, Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, and Spirituality.

The purer, more upright, and kinder a person is, the easier it is for them to receive the goddess's grace, thus giving birth to even greater power.

And this power is bestowed upon them according to their qualities.

The more honest a person is, the easier it is for them to discern the lies of others.

The more humble a person is, the easier it is for them to obtain even greater power.

In his previous life, Nicholas was the foremost Radiant Knight, the closest to a perfect knight.

But now, having arrived in this world by some twist of fate, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

The memories in his mind constantly overlap, and he accepts the memories of this identity.

Rubbing his temples as he looks at the world before him, his brow furrows almost imperceptibly.

The small courtyard is very spacious, with stacks upon stacks of things to be dealt with in front of him.

He casually flips through a few pages, which are filled with languages and words he doesn't know.

But even though he doesn't know the words, he can subconsciously understand them as languages he does know.

He reads the contents of the letter aloud, word by word.

"A transaction with human traffickers."

Human traffickers?

The man's pair of brown pupils reveal an appropriate look of confusion; it has been so long since he heard that term.

At the same time, he feels somewhat incomprehensible.

Human traffickers were absolutely forbidden in his world; once discovered, they would be executed directly.

But now it seems that this is not the case in this world.

He hastily glances through a few pages, his face growing increasingly gloomy and unsightly.

By the end, he discovers that several transactions are related to him. Even as the Radiant Knight of his previous life, he can't help but curse, "They are all scum and should be purified of their sins on the pyre."

However, as he speaks, a voice echoes in his mind.

[Follow the eight rules of knighthood, and you will gain the power to purify all the evils of the world.]

[This world is filthy; spread the name of the goddess throughout the world.]

[Remember the name of the goddess, Roxy.]

His expression freezes for a moment, followed by elation, and his gaze becomes even more determined.

At the same time, he murmurs, "Roxy? Is that the goddess of this world? Is it her intention to bring me to this world? This is truly unexpected."

He is a very confident person; after all, in his previous life, Nicholas became a Radiant Knight at a young age, and he is extremely proud in his heart.

"Then, can the divine arts from my previous life still be used?"

He takes a deep breath and begins to concentrate, and a large amount of golden light gathers in his eyes.

Immediately, lines of text appear before his eyes.

Nicholas's eyes sparkle with brilliance. He tries his best to keep his breathing steady, but he can't suppress the excitement in his heart.

In his previous life, the gods were high above, and the god he believed in had never even been seen. He only saw Him in various statues.

But now, in this new life, he has actually received the favor of a goddess. How could he not be excited?

At this moment, he seems to have already seen the bright path of the future, and the brilliance in his eyes shines brightly, feeling that everything will change.

Roa, standing not far away, nods secretly as he looks at the other person's expression, his expression quite pleased.

Very good, this fabricated personality has an unexpectedly good effect.

As for the so-called divine arts and panels, they were actually fabricated by him for the other person.

The panel is naturally not as strong as it seems; it has an upper limit, and once that upper limit reaches the King level, it cannot be improved any further. For Roa, the existence of the panel is more than enough to achieve this step, after all, the King level is just a slightly larger ant in front of Roa.

But for an ordinary person, it can indeed be called a meteoric rise.

"After this, it's up to you how you operate."

Roa smiles, puts a mark on the other person's body to make it easier for him to sense them, and then plans to continue looking for the remaining three Dragon Generals.

It's better to let others handle this kind of thing. He also has his own things to do. If he really wanted to solve it violently, he could just kill a Saint-level swordsman, and they wouldn't even have time to react.

But if he kills them, problems will arise again.

If a Northern Saint dies, another Southern Saint or Eastern Saint might pop up in the future.

If you want to perfectly eliminate this matter, killing alone will definitely not solve it.

But it's impossible for him to waste his time slowly investigating the whole story.

It's better to just find a lackey and let them handle this matter.

And Roa just happens to have such means. Now that he has tried it, he feels very novel.

This is equivalent to directly creating a person who did not exist in the first place.

Roa stayed for a little longer, and when he saw that the other person had begun to handle the specific affairs in an orderly manner, Roa turned and left, and began to look for the remaining Dragon Generals.

Above the azure sky, a shooting star streaks across the sky, flying across the firmament at an exaggerated speed.

If someone were to observe carefully, they would be able to discover that the shooting star is actually a young man.

This is naturally Roa.

His mental power spreads out, forming a circular radar range. Every time he arrives at a place, he will pause briefly, and only after confirming that there is nothing wrong will he continue to speed away into the distance.

The reason for doing this is to ensure that every inch of land within the sensing range has been explored by Roa's mental power.

These Dragon Generals are old guys who survived from ancient times, and some of them may have some methods of concealment.

If Laplace had been looking for them before, it might have been very easy to find them, but Laplace had done so many bad things that he wouldn't believe that the Dragon Generals wouldn't hide. Now that Laplace has been sealed, he doesn't believe that they are not hiding in some corner, eking out a living and spying on this world.

The facts prove that if you really want to find them, it is still quite difficult.

In one afternoon, Roa searched the entire Northern Continent from top to bottom.

This is the literal meaning; he even searched thousands of meters below the soil, but he still didn't see the person he wanted to see.

He was naturally a little disappointed that he didn't find the person he wanted to see.

However, this matter cannot be rushed; he can take his time.

Returning to the academy, he had a meal with his family, studied magic, and fell asleep with his beloved wife in his arms. The days passed like this.

The next day, Roa went to see Nicholas and found that he was doing well and had already investigated a lot of information.

But when Roa went to visit him again on the third day, he found that he was actually following that merchant.

Because it was a bit interesting, Roa silently watched how he planned to act.

Then the two of them started fighting. The so-called Radiant Knight is actually good at attacking. After all, Roa is best at the Sword God flow, and the memories he gave him were also in this area.

Although Nicholas's physical fitness was not very good, because of Roa's forced enlightenment, which is what he calls his previous life's memories, he had the level of a Saint-level master. After a deadly battle, he finally killed the other person, but he himself was seriously injured.

After killing the merchant, he didn't say anything, but silently looked at the corpse lying on the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

Roa was a little surprised and didn't know what had happened in the middle. He pulled the other person into the spiritual world and spied on his memories, and then he suddenly understood.

The persona he created was too upright, which caused him to suffer a lot after thoroughly understanding the events of the past few days.

According to the normal route, he would generally infiltrate the enemy's interior and then disintegrate this small merchant organization from the inside out, or at least pretend to be friendly, because there are still many people in the town, and although trade with the caravan would sacrifice some people, the sacrificed people are not without value, at least the other part of the people can be saved.

This is a very simple multiple-choice question, and he also thought so. He spent the whole night yesterday writing a plan, but when he saw a little girl being dragged out and locked in a cage the next day, an unnamed anger burned in his heart at that moment.

Looking at the indifferent eyes of the surrounding crowd, looking at the contemptuous gazes they showed him, looking at the little girl's pleading eyes.

He tossed and turned, and most of the joy of rebirth was washed away. In the end, his eyes became firm again. That afternoon, he wrote a letter, inviting the merchant to meet in the small forest, and then the scene that happened now occurred.

Roa clicked his tongue in wonder. From a rational point of view, the other person's killing of the leader now is undoubtedly a wake-up call, but from an emotional point of view, Roa actually appreciates the other person very much.

However, the merchant's death is also a trouble for him, after all, this is a caravan, an organization.
