Fang Zheng didn't know that he had attracted the attention of a knight commander. The banquet had already begun, just as Fang Zheng had thought. After the banquet began, Bishop Karl, who was in charge of guarding the Northland, immediately began to speak. He talked about how the Order Fortress was facing danger, and how the righteous men had fought bravely for the court... oh, no, for world peace, and made great contributions. Their contributions will be remembered forever. Now we would like to invite the first person who moved the Temple of Heaven...
Most of the people who came on stage to receive the awards and cheers were the people stationed in the Order Fortress, including the two strong men who were in the Order Fortress and the reinforcements that arrived later. Of course, Bishop Karl did not forget to mention the Great Knight Stone. However, he did not clearly say what Stone and others had done. He just said that the Great Knight Stone led his men to defeat the evil behavior of the Church of the Day of Destruction who tried to fish in troubled waters when the Order Fortress was in danger. It was a hasty mention.
Of course, those who know the inside story know that the Church of the Day of Destruction is the real culprit in this monster siege, and those monster lords are just innocent victims. In other words, those monster lords are used to distract the temple's troops. If not, the temple would not have sent so few people to the Dark Swamp... Of course, there is no need to say such a shameful thing.
Fang Zheng was listening with boredom and frowning secretly.
Although Bishop Karl spoke in an official tone, as a senior official who had to hold countless meetings every year, Fang Zheng certainly knew how to find clues from the official tone. Sometimes, ordinary people would just listen to an ordinary official tone and treat it as nonsense. But those who know the meaning will immediately understand the meaning.
Like this time, Bishop Karl spoke in an official tone, on the surface he praised the soldiers stationed in the fortress, but in fact he put the one of the Day of Destruction last. Although most people think this is just a casual remark, anyone who has reached this level will immediately understand - oh, it turns out that this time it was the grandsons of the Day of Destruction Church who did it.
But the name Bishop Carl said next was very interesting.
Under the leadership of the Great Knight Shi Dong - well, this means that the credit for this operation belongs to Shi Dong. Fang Zheng doesn't care. He knows that with the current relationship between him and the Temple, the other party will not be able to make him famous. Shi Dong is the best choice in terms of qualifications, reputation and loyalty, but the other party didn't even mention Fina, which made Fang Zheng a little dissatisfied. You know, Fina is very important in this operation. To be honest, if Fang Zheng hadn't been reminded by Fina, would you guys still have time to drink and celebrate here? I'm afraid you would have been wiped out by the Hell Legion!
This was also the reason why Fang Zheng was dissatisfied. Carl shouldn't be so stupid as to not see the relationship between them, but he didn't mention Fina at all. This was really weird. His relationship with the temple was average, and he was a latecomer, so it was okay for him to be abandoned. But Fina seemed to be your trainee priest, right? Why don't you brag about her now? What's the point of hiding her? Could she be your secret weapon? Superman did good deeds without leaving his name, and it was his own will. The media also praised him a lot, right?
Moreover, Fang Zheng did not see Fina at the banquet... Could it be that she was also disliked by the Temple like himself? No way...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook his head. That silly girl was stubborn, and her faith was quite devout, so she wouldn't turn against the temple. But he couldn't figure it out here, so Fang Zheng decided to ask Shi Dong about the situation later. He should know something about it.
After a round of fantastical official banter, the banquet officially began. The noble ladies immediately stepped forward and started chatting with the "heroes" who were guarding the Fortress of Order. Fang Zheng even saw a young lady chatting happily with Knight Conan, but he didn't know if this child could withstand the huge power of Knight Conan's name...
"Fang Zheng!"
"Long time no see, mentor. Congratulations on receiving the Knight's Medal of Honor."
Seeing the great knight Shi Dong walking towards him with a smile, Fang Zheng also smiled and bowed to him respectfully. Fang Zheng still respected Shi Dong very much. Strictly speaking, he had not been with him for a long time, but he was quite good to him. Seeing that he came to him first after he stepped down, it showed that he did not have any grudges because of Fang Zheng's choice.
The Honorary Knight Medal that Shi Dong received was the highest honor below Knight Commander. After all, the title of Knight Commander required legendary strength. Although Shi Dong had made great contributions this time, he was only at the Grandmaster level and could not be promoted to Knight Commander. The Honorary Knight Medal was a very good reward.
"Hey, you're so polite."
When Shi Dong heard Fang Zheng say this, he slapped Fang Zheng on the shoulder with a look of disappointment.
"This was originally prepared for you. If you hadn't had that incident with the bishops..."
Damn, these bastards really are planning to tie me up with them.
Hearing Shi Dong's answer, Fang Zheng also took a breath. He had just become a Grand Knight, and he was awarded the medal representing the highest honor of the Knights Templar? These bishops were really cruel and ruthless. Fortunately, I ran away quickly when I saw the situation was not good, otherwise I would have died in devotion to the cause.
"Everyone has different ambitions. Anyway, how are the others doing? Those Pegasus Knights should have received their rewards as well."
"Of course. The Temple will reward those who have a reward. In addition, they were the ones who contained the demons summoned by the Church of the Day of Destruction during that operation, and they also paid a lot of sacrifices for it. The Bishops will certainly not turn a blind eye to this."
"So, what about Fina? I think that priestess must have received a reward from the bishops."
"Fina?"
But when he heard the name, Shi Dong blinked in confusion and looked at Fang Zheng.
"You mean ..."
"snort!!"
However, before Shi Dong finished speaking, he saw Fang Zheng's face suddenly darken. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by an icy murderous intent!
"That bastard is really courting his own death!"
The next moment, Shi Dong felt a flash before his eyes, and then Fang Zheng's figure disappeared from his sight.
What happened?
Shi Dong was also stunned when he saw this scene, and then his face suddenly became solemn. He had not been in contact with Fang Zheng for a long time, but he knew him well enough. At this moment, Fang Zheng actually burst out with such a strong murderous intent in public, which meant that something must have gone wrong!
Oh no, something happened!
Time goes back a few minutes.
Leaving the noisy hall, Connie frowned, unable to hide her inner anxiety and depression. As one of the members protecting the Order Fortress, Connie naturally received rewards from the Temple. In the past, the girl would have cheered by now. But now Connie did not look excited at all. Whenever she thought of her colleagues who died in the Order Fortress, the girl felt extremely heavy. Moreover, unlike others, because her father was a high-ranking member of the Temple, Connie knew very well that the reason why the Order Fortress was under such a fierce attack was because of the evil cultists behind it.
Damn cultists!!
Thinking of this, Connie recalled the face that made her grit her teeth in hatred. She was sure that the other person was indeed Williams. She didn't know how he managed to avoid inspection and sneak into the temple.
Moreover, it was only after he appeared that news came from the North that the Church of the Day of Destruction was performing a ritual in the Dark City. Although the intelligence said that he had blocked the other party's consciousness, Connie did not believe that a cultist would turn over a new leaf. This must be some kind of strategy to lure the Temple to relax its vigilance!
Not to mention, before that, this guy disappeared for more than half a year, and no one knew where he went. Although Knight Stone and Knight Malte both said that he took the initiative to jump into the space gap in order to defeat the Son of Chaos, who knows whether it is true or not?
Damn it, if only I could find evidence... This bastard, cheating people in the temple all day long, must have some ulterior motive, we must not let him succeed!
“La la la…”
At this moment, Connie suddenly heard a clear singing voice. She looked up and found that she had unknowingly walked into the garden behind the temple. Looking in the direction where the singing voice came from, she saw a girl with blue hair and twin ponytails sitting under an evergreen tree not far away, teasing the kitten in her hands and singing.
Isn't she the girl who followed Williams?
Looking at the blue-haired girl, Connie was also stunned. It was not because she cared about her, but because the huge collar on Nymph's neck was too eye-catching, making it impossible for Connie not to notice it.
But why was she hiding here? Could it be that the cultist had sent her to secretly plot something at this festival?
Looking at Nymph in front of her, Connie also gripped the hilt of the sword in her hand. At this moment, she suddenly had an idea.
If we can start with this girl, will we be able to find evidence that Williams is a cultist?
The more Connie thought about it, the more it made sense. Judging from the girl's appearance, she was probably coerced by Williams, the cultist. Otherwise, how could a normal girl wear such a big collar? Could it be that there was something wrong with this collar?
Thinking of this, Connie suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Nymph. Soon, dazzling holy light emerged from her eyes... and in the next moment, Connie's face suddenly changed!
