Chapter 679 Guardian Knight
Edward did not interrupt Waddington as he listened, but thought at the same time.
Naturally, he also thought about whether he could give a title to this young killer god so that he could join the Sky City. After all, the young killer god not only has great potential, but also seems to have a friendly attitude towards the Sky City.
It would be best if we could win over such an outstanding young man, not to mention that we might be able to get more medicines.
But what kind of identity should be given to this god of death?
Judging from the God of Death's situation, he is not afraid of the major holy city forces at all. If Edward gives him a small title, he may not be able to really win him over.
As Edward continued to think, Waddington's words continued to come.
"My Lord Duke, I think you can give him the title of Guardian Knight. This young killer was able to save the young lady at such a high risk of his own life, so it is only right to give him the title of Guardian Knight. Moreover, a knight's fiefdom only requires one village!"
"I think with a village as his fief, this young killer will gradually integrate into our Sky City!"
Waddington's idea was very simple, which was to first make the young killer willing to accept the title bestowed by the Sky City.
If an ordinary person had the opportunity to join the Sky City, it would be a great honor.
However, evil young men like the God of Killing are often rather aloof and do not like to be bound, so it is often not easy for many major forces to recruit such talents.
But the situation of this young killer god is a little different. Judging from his attitude towards Miss Adela, he should accept the title of Guardian Knight.
After he accepted it, he was also given a village as his fiefdom.
As time goes by, this fiefdom will naturally become his bondage, and he will voluntarily integrate into the City in the Sky.
"The identity of the Guardian Knight?"
After listening to Waddington's suggestion, Edward nodded thoughtfully.
Waddington's idea is indeed good. It is a good way to tie the God of Death to the Sky City.
Because if you just use normal rewards to win him over, then this evil young man will be placed in a subordinate position, and there is a high chance that he will not accept it.
But it would be different if he became Adela's guardian knight.
Because this guardian knight does not actually need to obey Edward, or even Adela.
Therefore, he was not restrained or subservient to the killer youth. He only needed to be responsible for Adela's safety.
Moreover, in the Holy Continent, the rewards for the Guardian Knights are varied, including gold and silver coins, rare treasures and unique weapons, and fiefdoms can also be used as rewards, and these are all regarded as guarantees for the Guardian Knights' training and equipment.
And if the Sky City really offers fiefdoms as rewards, then with the fiefdoms the young man will have a solid connection with the God of Killing, and the connection can be maintained for a lifetime, which can be regarded as joining the Sky City in disguise.
The only doubt Edward had about this method was whether his granddaughter would get too close to the young killer god, and the relationship between them might deepen in the future.
But on second thought, judging from the situation of her granddaughter, even if this young killer did not have the identity of the guardian knight, Adela would definitely continue to contact him.
Unless he intervened directly, but if Edward really wanted to intervene, he would have intervened in many ways long ago.
"Then try your method!"
Edward finally made a decision. Regardless of whether the killer youth accepted it or not, releasing himself was a gesture of goodwill towards him.
"Your Excellency the Duke, I will take my leave now!"
"Go ahead!"
Afterwards, Waddington left the room, and Edward continued to wait in the room as agreed with his granddaughter.
…
More than half an hour later, Adela came into the room dressed up and wearing a spotless white dress.
"grandfather!"
After Adela entered the room, she first cast her eyes on the bed. Seeing that Gervis was still lying quietly on the bed, she felt relieved and looked at her grandfather and called him obediently.
"Well, why are you here so soon? Grandfather doesn't have much to do tonight, so you can stay here for a while!"
When Edward saw his granddaughter come in, his expression was a little helpless. Although it was not yet late at night, it was almost time.
Now that my granddaughter is here, does it mean I have to stay here all night?
"Grandfather, I'm not sleepy! Why don't you sit down? Come and sit over here!"
Adela knew that her grandfather was worried about her, but she was not willing to leave. She immediately put on a spirited look and replied to Edward.
Then she pulled Edward's arm like a spoiled child and sat down on the sofa beside her!
"Okay! It's up to you!"
Even if Edward wanted to blame Adela for being like this, he couldn't bring himself to do so. He could only shake his head helplessly.
After sitting down, Edward recalled his previous conversation with Waddington and spoke softly to Adela.
"Adela, what is the name of this young killer?"
"Grandfather...I promised him not to tell anyone!"
"Why don't I ask him after he wakes up and then tell you. He will definitely agree!"
Adela was a little embarrassed, and finally whispered to Edward.
"Is that so? Grandfather originally wanted to find out the identity of this young God of Death and then reward him with the title of Guardian Knight!"
In fact, Edward heard Adela shout out the name of the God of Death when he was at the Cold Emerald Manor.
He just wanted to tease his granddaughter, and when he heard that Adela really refused to tell him, he said something to her with a slightly disappointed expression.
"Ah! Guardian Knight! Is that true, Grandfather? You are so kind!"
Adela's beautiful eyes widened and she exclaimed, quickly moving a few inches closer to Edward, then grabbed his arm and began to shake it in thanks.
"Of course this is true, but Grandfather doesn't even know his name, so that's definitely not okay. Why don't you wait until later to think about it!"
Edward replied with a smile.
"No! Grandfather, I'm telling you now! You're the best! I'm telling you now!"
"Grandfather, his name is Gervis Gale!"
Adela's face flushed instantly. She knew that her grandfather was angry because she didn't tell him Gervis's name.
Adela immediately shook Edward's arm even harder and began to act coquettishly.
Moreover, in the face of the temptation of the Guardian Knight, Adela broke her own principles and secretly leaked Gervis' name.
Because the Guardian Knight is so tempting.
This guardian knight was passed down from hundreds of years ago when there were many kingdoms of all sizes on the Holy Continent.
Guardian Knight, as the name suggests, is a title that specifically protects someone.
At that time, the population of the Holy Continent reached tens of billions, and there were hundreds of principalities, large and small. It was also an era when strong people emerged in large numbers.
At that time, many large and small principalities would grant the title of Guardian Knight to some powerful people in order to win them over.
For example, protecting a prince or a princess.
Such a title of guardian knight will not impose any constraints on this strong man, but it can ensure that both parties maintain a good relationship, because the title of guardian is completed on an equal footing between both parties.
Once the Guardian Knight becomes someone's guardian, he must fulfill his promise and complete the protection when the person being protected is in danger!
What’s even more exaggerated is that hundreds of years ago, some super powerful people didn’t just have the aura to protect one person, but could protect multiple people.
According to rumors, hundreds of years ago, a powerful man received invitations from dozens of kingdoms, large and small, to become the guardian knight of their kingdoms' heirs, and this powerful man received countless fiefs and other rewards.
So why can one person protect so many people? Wouldn't it be a bit exhausting?
In fact, those kings were not stupid. This was entirely because the strong man had a reputation as a strong man famous throughout the Holy Continent.
Many times when people know that a person is protected by a powerful being, when they want to harm him, they have to consider their own abilities and whether they will face the devastating revenge of the protecting powerful being afterwards.
Although the human race has now changed from a structure of large and small kingdoms to holy city-states, guardian knights are still occasionally used.
And Adela was very willing to be protected by Gervis, so that her relationship with Gervis would be further strengthened, and perhaps she could even go to find him with a legitimate reason.
"Grevith Gale?"
Edward finally heard the name of the God of Death in full.
"All right! All right! Adela, if you keep shaking Grandfather you'll make him faint!"
"Now that you know the name, Grandfather won't think too much about it! When the young man named Gervis wakes up, you can ask him if he agrees. If he agrees, Grandfather will hold a guardian enthronement ceremony for you!"
Seeing Adela reveal the name of the killer young man, Edward stopped teasing his granddaughter and immediately let go.
He also felt that it would be more appropriate for Adela to ask about this matter herself when the time comes.
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
When Adela heard her grandfather agree, she was immediately satisfied and stopped shaking Edward's arm!
"Okay, then grandpa will leave first! You should go to bed early later!"
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Adela was still excited and nodded obediently!
"Um!"
After saying that, Edward stood up and walked out of the room.
However, after walking out of the room, Edward felt a little worried again, so he sent a few servants to wait inside and outside the room to serve.
What he was most worried about was that his granddaughter would stay at night, so he would definitely send a few more servants to guard her.
