Gospel of Blood

Chapter 146: I am... really tired

The Blazing Sun Knight had a sincere expression.

Borde's Demon Hunter Squad Leader, Kara, reached the pinnacle of the Second Tier Silver Moon at a young age, has limitless potential for the future.

It was almost a certainty that she would step into the Blazing Sun and even have the chance to peek into Legendary.

Such talent would be welcomed anywhere, worthy of recruitment from a Blazing Sun Knight.

Upon hearing the words of the Blazing Sun Knight of the blazing sun, Kara's expression slightly changed, followed by the Demon Hunter Knights behind her.

They looked worriedly at their own captain, hesitant to speak.

However, Kara, who had been silent all along, gently shook her head.

"Grand Knight, thank you for your offer."

The Blazing Sun Knight didn't get angry at her refusal but instead smiled kindly.

"The Demon Hunter Bureau... for someone as talented as you, it's too small."

"Madam Kara, I'll take my leave now. If you change your mind, you can always find me at the Borde's Inquisition."

With that, he nodded slightly to Kara and turned to leave.

Only after the Blazing Sun Knight's figure was no longer visible did the Demon Hunter Knights behind Kara couldn't help but spit on the ground.

"Phew! So what if he is a Blazing Sun? Those guys from the Inquisition! They always try to poach from our Demon Hunter Bureau!"

"Captain Kara! You did the right thing! You can't go to that Inquisition place!"

The Demon Hunter Knights chattered.

However, Kara remained silent.

Leno felt that Kara's mood was off today.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Kara, but what he saw was a lonely and weary face.

"Kara, are you... okay?"

Leno asked with concern.

The Demon Hunter Knights finally noticed Kara's expression and said worriedly.

"Captain?"

Kara still didn't answer but instead took off the silver cross sword hanging from her waist.

She placed the sword together with the Demon Hunter's Leader uniform, then handed it to the bewildered Demon Hunter Knight, and calmly said.

"Return these things to the church. From now on... I am no longer your captain."

Upon hearing Kara's words, the demon hunters looked shocked.

"Captain? Are you... Are you quitting the Demon Hunter Bureau?!"

"Captain, what's going on?"

Kara shook her head slightly.

"It's nothing, I'm... just tired."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Watching Kara's departing figure, Leno was also puzzled.

He was about to catch up, but a roll of parchment fell out of the Demon Hunter's Leader uniform pocket.

Leno's heart skipped a beat as he picked up the parchment and glanced at it, then his eyes widened suddenly.

No wonder.

That parchment turned out to be evidence of the crimes committed by the High Priest.

And the most striking thing was a name marked on the list.

It was Kara's sister's name.

Leno understood everything in an instant.

He looked towards the direction Kara had left, his expression full of complexity.

He could understand Kara's feelings.

Perhaps many demon hunters didn't know why Kara joined the Demon Hunter Bureau in the first place, but he knew that she joined the Holy Court in order to investigate the disappearance of her sister.

But now, after everything was revealed, the mastermind behind the scenes of the Dreaming Saloon was the High Priest who brought her into the church...

No matter who it was, it would be hard to accept.

Leno didn't know if Kara had found out about this evidence herself or if someone else had given it to her.

But it didn't matter anymore.

After knowing the truth, even if she personally sent the High Priest to the Sacred Judgment, it would probably not eliminate the fatigue and disappointment in Kara's heart.

Watching the figure walking away, Leno's eyes were full of pity.

He took a deep breath and rode his horse to catch up, soon walking side by side with Kara.

Carefully looking at the silent female knight, Leno swallowed and carefully chose his words.

"Kara, I know you're feeling bad... If you don't want to stay in the Demon Hunter Bureau anymore, then don't."

He squeezed his fist and gathered his courage again, saying:

"Kara, let's go to the tavern together. Tonight, we won't come back until we're drunk! Tomorrow is the beginning of a new day!"

Leno's expression was sincere.

However, the female knight beside him did not respond to his words.

"Kara?"

Leno repeated.

Kara still didn't respond to him.

Leno finally felt something was wrong.

Although Kara's attitude towards him was neither cold nor warm normally, he knew it was because her sister's matter weighed heavily on her heart.

When they were mercenary partners a long time ago, their relationship was much better than it is today.

Leno had always believed that once the matter was resolved, Kara would be back to her past self.

But now, why did she become even more indifferent to him after the High Priest, the culprit behind the scenes, was caught?

He was sure that her current attitude wasn't because of the High Priest's matter.

He could feel that Kara just didn't want to talk to him.

"Kara? What's wrong? Why don't you even want to talk to me anymore?"

Leno couldn't help but repeat again.

This time, Kara finally stopped.

She turned her head, looking at Leno with indifference, and said coldly.

"Lord Leno, let's part ways here."

Leno widened his eyes.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?"

Kara didn't answer, but once again took out a piece of parchment from her bosom.

It was made of the same material as the parchment that had just fallen out of her leader's uniform, looking like it had been torn from it.

She threw the parchment to Leno wearily and said.

"I am... really tired."

After saying that, she didn't say anything more and turned away again.

Leno instinctively opened the parchment.

It was also a piece of parchment recording crimes.

However, unlike the previous parchment, this one didn't list enough evidence of the crimes, more like a simple record.

However, what it recorded was not the crimes of the High Priest.

It was the crimes of Duke Borde.

The parchment recorded the duke's conspiracy with Count Brois, kidnapping girls with the intent of sacrificing them to demons, and the hidden secrets behind the Dlame Demon Disaster ten years ago, a darker and completely buried truth!

Leno's eyes widened almost instantly, his expression full of disbelief.

He looked up suddenly, staring blankly in the direction Kara had left, finally understanding the reason behind her indifferent attitude...

Kara's sister had disappeared long before the Flame Demon Disaster.

If the contents of this parchment were true, if the direct culprit behind Kara's sister's death was indeed the High Priest...

Then the highly respected Duke Borde, the illustrious Borde family... was the source of everything!

Leno clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh, his expression extremely ugly.

He gripped the parchment tightly, his face dark, then immediately turned on his horse and galloped fiercely towards the direction of the Duke's mansion...
