Chapter 1093 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (81)

The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Chapter 81)

After finally getting a truth out of Lance and confirming that the dagger was indeed forged from Lance's scales, Song Ning didn't even have time to scold the man and the dragon before the dagger was used first.

Although he tried his best to minimize the number of times he went out, he was still being watched.

"...Hiss, my identity has been exposed, but their strength is only average, so I escaped."

As Song Ning spoke, he glanced at Long, who was applying medicine to him, trying to keep his tone light and bluff his way through.

Lance noticed his cautiousness, but he wasn't angry with Song Ning.

"Can you determine who they are?"

Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

He carefully considered the other party's equipment and appearance. "There are three men. One is a mage who uses fire magic, and the other two are swordsmen. All three are dressed like mercenaries, but I am quite sure they are definitely from the church."

Lance: "What do you mean?"

“Simple,” Song Ning loosened his neck. “Although they tried their best to dress like mercenaries, the three of them had very determined eyes and their teamwork was very awkward. If they were three different mercenaries who had taken on different missions, they would never have acted together.”

"Secondly, that look was too obvious. Only people from the Church of Light would have that look and that expression. Others can't imitate it."

"I reckon they're all members of the Knights. I'll ask Lord Harris later and I'll find out."

Not every temple branch has a Knights Order, but Lionheart City does. As the city lord, Harris couldn't possibly be unaware of who the Knights Order is; he could easily guess who they are by asking around.

Indeed, that was the case. After Harris found out, he quickly identified which three members of the Knights it was.

He had someone investigate, and they quickly confirmed that the three people were indeed members of the Knights Order within the Church of Light, just as they had suspected.

"They really are members of the Knights. How dare they attack you in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid of being recognized?"

Harris was completely baffled. "Or do they not know they've sent such incompetent fools?"

“I don’t think so,” Song Ning said, deftly twirling the dagger in his hand. “I’m more inclined to believe that they’re not worried about exposing their identities at all, so they don’t care.”

What he didn't say was that the Knights of Light's blatant actions clearly showed that they weren't worried about being held accountable by Lord Harris afterward.

In other words, the people of the Church of Light didn't really take Harris, the nominal city lord, seriously at all.

But even if he didn't say it, wouldn't Harris have thought of it?

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Harris's expression turned ugly, because it was clear that he had thought of this as well.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite."

This sneak attack fired the first shot, and the hidden threads laid by Lance and Harris's previous cooperation gradually surfaced at this moment.

First, the 'Restoration Potion Alliance' went from operating covertly to operating openly. Initially, their propaganda was only spread in scattered, remote towns, especially in areas where there were no churches spreading their missions. The 'Restoration Potion Alliance' developed rapidly, like a spark that could start a prairie fire.

Most of them were ordinary people who worked from sunrise to sunset and could save up about five silver coins a year.

The initial propaganda from the 'Restoration Potion Alliance' failed to sway them, as a single gold coin was simply too much for them.

However, the problem was quickly resolved.

In response to this situation, Song Ning specifically recruited a group of people to begin mass-producing low-level recovery potions.

Low-level recovery potions are simpler to make than mid-level ones, and they are also much cheaper, costing only five silver coins.

Although the effect is greatly reduced, a single bottle of medicine can easily treat some diseases that are quite serious for ordinary people.

Most of the ordinary people spent their year's savings to buy the medicine, and it was mostly used on children or able-bodied men in the family.

This was so important to ordinary families that more and more people joined the 'Recovery Potion Alliance' and voluntarily became members of the alliance.
