"Ms. Nymph hasn't come back yet."

Hiding in the shadow of the ruins, Fina looked at the sky in the distance with concern. Under the dark and gloomy sky, she could see things like flying insects hovering over the ruins. They were all small demons hovering in the ruins. Although Fina and Fang Zheng couldn't see those things clearly at the distance they were at, they were sure that there must be danger over there.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, is Miss Nymph really okay?"

"It should be no problem."

Fang Zheng could only confirm this. Nymph had told him that she was going to investigate, and then she disappeared, which made Fang Zheng a little worried. However, he could still feel the transparent chain in his hand, and there was no problem with the soul stone embedded in the Dimension Code, which made Fang Zheng feel more at ease.

"I don't think the kid would go out of his way to take risks. Just wait a bit... huh?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly found something vibrating in his pocket. He reached out his hand and took out a badge from his pocket. It was his own temple badge. At this moment, the badge was emitting a faint white light and vibrating, just like the vibration mode of a mobile phone. Seeing this, Fang Zheng was delighted.

"Reinforcements are coming!!"

During his time in the temple, Fang Zheng also learned some information about the temple. One of them was the mutual resonance between these badges. Because this world has space restrictions and communication blockade spells, people naturally developed various corresponding methods.

The emblem resonance in the hand below is one of the relatively simple methods. The emblems of the temple are blessed by order. Within a certain range, as long as power is injected, it will automatically resonate and vibrate, and the frequency and brightness of its flashing will change with the direction and distance. This is actually a bit like a luminous metal detector.

Holding the badge tightly, Fang Zheng also injected a bit of power into it. Soon, the badge in his hand became hotter and the light began to shine. Not long after, Fang Zheng heard a series of flapping wings, and then he saw several black shadows falling from the sky and flying towards him.

That is a knight riding a Pegasus.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so handsome."

Looking at those knights wearing white armor and fluttering cloaks, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, the style of the Temple really has the flavor of a royal army, if there is nothing else to say, it's just one word - handsome!

It would be even more handsome if they were riding Pegasus.

Fang Zheng did not choose to wave at the other party foolishly. He was no longer at the age of being impatient. Besides, he didn't know what dangers this damn place had. He just hoped that those Pegasus Knights would not attract the attention of the little demons, otherwise the situation might be even worse.

Fortunately, the Pegasus knights sent by the Temple were not stupid enough to let themselves be discovered by the enemy. They circled and descended in the air, and then landed in front of Fang Zheng and Fina. As soon as the Pegasus landed, Fang Zheng saw the leading knight dismounted and walked towards him excitedly. Before Fang Zheng could say anything, he slapped Fang Zheng on the shoulder.

"Hey, kid! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"

"tutor?"

Fang Zheng was obviously a little surprised when he heard this familiar voice, and the knight in front of him took off his helmet, revealing Shi Dong's "very unique" face. At this moment, he also grinned and looked at Fang Zheng with a smile.

"To be honest, when I got the news, I thought someone was bluffing me. I didn't expect it to be true! Hey, why didn't you say hello to me when you came back? And where have you been? I haven't heard from you for half a year. But you look a lot different, and you're a lot stronger. It seems like you're doing pretty well!"

As he spoke, Shi Dong slapped Fang Zheng hard. In the past, this slap would have been enough to make Fang Zheng unable to bear it, but now that his body had been transformed by the Zerg, these slaps from Shi Dong were nothing.

"Please wait, Lord Stone."

At this moment, a cold voice emerged from behind Shi Dong. Hearing this voice, Shi Dong's expression changed slightly. He curled his lips at Fang Zheng helplessly, then turned sideways and walked to the side. Then, Fang Zheng saw an old man in a white robe appear from behind and walk towards him.

On the surface, this old man seemed to be no different from an ordinary old man. He was tall and thin, with white hair and beard, but he was elegant in his gestures. He stared at Fang Zheng with a gloomy face, and after a moment, he asked softly.

"You are Fang Zheng? From the Silver Country, an apprentice guardian knight serving in the Star-Moon City Temple?"

"Yes."

Although the old man's tone was not very polite, Fang Zheng glanced at Shi Dong and nodded obediently. He was no longer young and hot-blooded. Although the old man's tone was not very good, since the other party was a person that even his mentor had to stand still to deal with, he certainly would not be stupid enough to cause trouble at this time.

"I need to see your proof. Bring me your badge and star emblem."

"OK."

Hearing the old man's order, Fang Zheng took out the badge and star pattern from his arms, and the old man walked forward, first carefully looked at the Templar badge in Fang Zheng's hand, then looked at his star pattern, then he took out a scroll and whispered a few prayers. Along with the prayers chanted by the old man, the scroll turned into a golden light and shot into the star pattern in Fang Zheng's hand. Then Fang Zheng felt a soft white light emanating from his body, and at the same time, his star pattern began to flicker.

After a while, the light disappeared, and at this moment, a smile appeared on the old man's face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Welcome back to the temple, Master Fang Zheng."

"Wait? Your Excellency?"

Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this title, and then he looked at Shi Dong in surprise. If he remembered correctly, only the Grand Knights and above were qualified to be called Your Excellency in the Temple. How could he, an apprentice guardian knight, be called Your Excellency?

Perhaps sensing Fang Zheng's doubt, the old man spoke slowly.

"The Council of Bishops has learned of your heroic deeds in Shadow Canyon from Grand Knights Malte and Stone. Your willingness to sacrifice yourself for order and justice, and your courage in facing the Son of Chaos are admirable. Therefore, after research, the Council of Bishops decided to grant you the title of Grand Knight. Therefore, you are now a Grand Knight like Lord Stone."

“Huh?”

Fang Zheng was even more stunned when he heard the old man's answer. He knew that the Grand Knight was not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of honor, seniority and military exploits. Take Fang Zheng himself for example. His strength was even higher than Connie's. If they were to be ranked according to their strength, then Fang Zheng would definitely be a full-time guardian knight.

But even so, he still had to start as an apprentice. And now, he was suddenly promoted from an apprentice guardian knight to a great knight... Wait, thinking of this, Fang Zheng's face suddenly became ugly.

If he remembered correctly, being promoted twice seemed like the treatment of a martyr...

"Ha ha ha ha."

Looking at Fang Zheng's bitter face, Shi Dong finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You finally reacted. Hahaha. I am dying of laughter too. Those stinky old guys, how many times have I told you that it's not that easy to die, but they insisted on treating you as killed in action. Now look what's going on. Hahaha. Didn't you see it, kid? When the news about you was passed back to the temple, the expressions of those old guys were really... I am dying of laughter just thinking about it now!"

"Well……"

Seeing his mentor's cheerful face, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing... It seems that even if he returns to the temple, there will be a lot of trouble. No wonder the old man was so serious just now, checking his badge and star pattern... After all this time, he turned out to be a great knight?

"Well, don't look so sad."

Seeing Fang Zheng's expression, Shi Dong smiled even more happily.

"Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it? A great knight, how many people will never meet him in their lifetime? Besides, you have the ability to do it. You have to know that you killed the Son of Chaos by yourself. Malte and I didn't help much. From this point of view, you are strong enough and qualified to be a great knight. In addition, you also sent us information... By the way, what is the situation now?"

"Please wait a moment, Master."

At this moment, Fang Zheng finally contacted Nymph. After learning that she had returned safely, he finally felt relieved.

"My companion has gone to investigate and will be back soon. We can find out the details by asking her. Ah, here we come."

"she?"

At this moment, Shi Dong saw a blue-haired girl flying down from the sky like a fairy and coming to Fang Zheng's side.

"Report to the master, I'm back... Who are these people?"

Seeing so many strangers appearing before her, Nymph seemed a little uneasy. She looked at the Pegasus Knights vigilantly while quietly hiding herself behind Fang Zheng.

“…”

Looking at the colorful wings shining behind the blue-haired girl in front of him, Shi Dong and the Pegasus Knight behind him were stunned.

"Angel?!"
