This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 615 - 534: The Script is Off

Seeing the sudden appearance of Lette, the robbers were completely shocked.

They could sense that the man before them was not someone their ragtag group could contend with.

Especially that move where he knocked their boss's weapon out of his hand from a distance—an ability that sent chills down one's spine.

Lette looked at the stunned robbers and the caravan, revealing a satisfied smile.

Next, he would join the caravan as their savior and travel with them to the next town.

Along the way, he could subtly gather information about this world and matters concerning the Holy Light.

Lette was confident that with his abilities, he could quickly integrate into this world and find the best way to achieve his goals!

Success was beckoning to him!

Bang!

Thud!

Just as Lette was contemplating how to gather intelligence from these merchants, the leader of the robbers suddenly knelt on the ground, eyes brimming with tears, and continually kowtowed in Lette's direction.

"Light God Envoy above! Light God Envoy above! Please, save us!"

Not only the robber leader, but the subordinates behind him also awakened from a dream, and one by one, knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly to Lette.

They addressed him as the Light God Envoy and pleaded with Lette to save them.

This left Lette a bit bewildered.

What's going on?

The progression of the plot doesn't seem quite right!

Even if he had displayed his Divine Power and scared these robbers.

They should be on their knees begging him for mercy, not asking for rescue!

What is Light God Envoy, anyway?

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Lette hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just a ranger who stands up for what's right, not a Light God Envoy!

You've got the wrong person!"

"That's impossible!"

The robber leader crawled forward two steps, tears brimming in his eyes, "You just used the Light God Technique, didn't you? I've seen the grandees of the Light God Association use it in the Capital!

Your Light God Technique is so powerful, with such pure and bright Light!

You must be a remarkable lord of the Light God Association!

You must have been sent by the God of Light to save us!

Great Light God Envoy! Please, in any case, bless us sinners!"

Leta looked at the robbers kneeling all around and the dazed merchants beside him, feeling overwhelmed for a moment.

He just wanted to do a simple act of chivalry, how did he inadvertently trigger a bizarre side quest?

What should he do next? Should he forcefully ignore these robbers' pleas for help and leave with the merchants as their benefactor?

Wouldn't that be somewhat contrary to his identity as a ranger?

But if he chose to save the robbers, it seemed he wouldn't be able to leave with the merchants.

Then mixing into town to gather intelligence might not be feasible.

Lette pondered for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Alright, why don't you tell me what trouble you've encountered, and I'll see if I can help.

But you robbers must swear!

After receiving my help, find an honest place to make a living, and never rob again or harm others!"

The robber leader waved his hands repeatedly, "Great Light God Envoy, I swear in the name of the Light, we have stopped travelers but have never hurt anyone's life. We only rob for some food supplies to continue living!

In fact, we are ordinary villagers from nearby. Our village was hit by the Dark Corrosion, and we couldn't survive; that's why we..."

"Dark Corrosion!!!"

The caravan leader, who had been stupefied all this while, suddenly let out a sharp scream, followed by all the merchants retreating in fear.

"We, we, we are willing to leave our goods... no, no! We're willing to leave the wagons along with the goods! Please, don't harm us!"

Lette couldn't help but widen his eyes. Just now, these merchants were prepared to protect their wagons and goods with their lives, and now they suddenly had a change of heart.

The Dark Corrosion seemed to be something even more terrifying than beasts and floods for the people of this world.

"Light God Envoy, sir!"

The merchant leader winked at Lette, "Do you have any Light Divine Water? Just give these sinners some, but for heaven's sake, don't go back with them!"

"Shut up! You! You... shut up!"

The merchant's words infuriated the robber leader, but he seemed to feel somewhat guilty, gritting his teeth yet unable to retort.

Lette raised an eyebrow, forming some considerations in his mind.

It seemed this Dark Corrosion was indeed a tricky problem.

So tricky that both merchants and robbers assumed that even a Divine Envoy of the Light God Association would need to pay a dreadful cost to resolve it.

Hence, the merchant kindly warned him not to get involved.

The robber knew all this would cause the Divine Envoy to pay a heavy price, thus he had such a peculiar attitude.

"I'll go with you and take a look."

Upon hearing Lette say this, both the merchants and the robbers present widened their eyes.

The robbers knelt and kowtowed again, praising Lette's greatness and kindness with their words.

The merchants, intimidated by the robbers, dared not offer any more reminders but looked at Lette with eyes full of reverence and regret.

As if watching a good person willingly walk into a wolf den.

Dark Corrosion, sinners...

Lette whispered these two words, his expression turning interesting.

It seemed this world was a bit different from the Holy Light Great World.

Just moments ago, Lette was hesitant about making a choice, but now he was resolute.

Compared to whatever Light God Association, he was now more intrigued by this Dark Corrosion.

Moreover, he could save people while he was at it.

"Alright, let the merchants leave. I'll go with you!"

The robber leader was overjoyed, clapping his hands, "Great! Thank you!"

"Wait a moment!"

The caravan leader suddenly called out to the robbers, then brought down a box from his wagon.

"Great Divine Envoy, sir, your character is admirable. Thank you for intervening and helping us keep our goods.

We don't have much to offer in return...

Please accept these supplies, and I hope you won't be too rough."

The merchant leader's last words were clearly directed at the other robbers.

Seeing this, the other accompanying merchants also selected some supplies from their wagons and placed them on the ground.

Their simple hope was that these supplies might awaken some conscience in the robbers, so they wouldn't trouble Lette, this self-sacrificing Light God Envoy.

The robbers graciously waited until the merchants placed the supplies on the ground before stepping forward to take them. Both sides seemed keen to avoid contact.

Lette hurriedly thanked the merchants, and under his watchful eyes, the caravan left the scene as quickly as possible.

Once the merchants had left, Lette turned to look at the robber leader.

"Let's go, I'll check it out... the Dark Corrosion."
