Chapter 28: I feel bad. I was scolded at work*…
*
To be honest, I don't think there is anyone in a place like this who can defeat the Knight Commander.
The Knight Commander of the Lord of Glory was extremely powerful. The reason why he was imprisoned before was not because of the difference in martial power.
As for the specific situation, the Knight Commander was unwilling to say, so I did not ask. I could only infer that this matter was related to the cheap believers.
Whatever the reason, the might of the Knight Commander could not be denied.
Since they had lost contact with the church, they were most likely in danger. Otherwise, given the Knight Commander's character, he would never let anyone worry about him.
I rubbed my forehead and said, "Do we have anyone else who can be of use?"
Anka looked worried. "Most of the knights have been taken away by His Royal Highness the Knight Commander, and have lost contact with him. The remaining ones are either too weak or need to maintain the safety of the entire city, so they cannot be easily mobilized."
"Can those believers be of any use?"
He hesitated, "I don't know either... According to what you said before, the believers were originally going to the forest. But they suddenly said something about a limited-time new event and rushed out. Now there are not many people in the city."
“…”
I knew it.
If these players can be of any use at a critical moment, it is enough to move me to tears. Most of the time, they like to pick up a backpack full of garbage in the novice village, shout "Friend, duel with me!", run wildly in the arena, and brush slimes a thousand times just for a strange decoration to drop.
Since there is a new event, we can't count on them in the short term. By the time they remember that they still have a beast tide mission, it will be too late.
So the question is, who can reverse the current crisis, find the Knight Commander and bring them back safely?
When everyone gathered and I asked this question, the rest of the people looked at me in unison, with only one sentence in their eyes.
[Of course it has to be you. ]
"…I see."
Before this, my impression of the Son was that of a spokesman for religious rituals.
All you need to do is put on a sunny smile every day, promote the majesty of the gods, and participate in activities in various places.
Compared to the others, the Son is more of an official symbol than a person with real power.
But the followers of the Lord of Light made me understand that to be His Son, one must first learn the decathlon.
Is it too late to return the vest to Samuel? I don't think my small body can bear the weight. Obviously, the answer is too late.
There was only one way to break the impasse. I rubbed my forehead and went to find the dragon.
Long was still in a bad mood with me. When he saw me, he immediately turned around and faced me with his butt.
I patiently persuaded: "We have to go to the forest."
The dragon refused coldly: "No, I'm not full, I can't fly."
I just took a few magic crystals from you, is that a big deal?
I looked at him speechlessly. Long raised his head stubbornly, looking at the sky and the earth but not at me.
I couldn't help but ask, "Are you doing this because you're afraid that I'll see your guilty conscience?"
It was furious: "A powerful dragon would never feel guilty about such a small matter!"
"…Then stop wagging your tail."
Long Zhenzheng said: "This is what Tail did, what does it have to do with me? Don't embarrass me, go embarrass Tail."
It appears, the most common set of words used by all creatures with tails. It seems that the tail has its own consciousness, so how can the brain grow on the head?
I sneered, "If you have any objections, go find the magic crystals. I'm not going to eat them. Go and ask why those magic crystals didn't run back into your mouth overnight."
"It's because you took all my snacks!"
"You are really angry because of the magic crystal."
"I already said no!"
We argued for half an hour, and I ended up signing an unequal treaty. As long as Long accompanied me to find the Knight Commander, I would never touch his magic crystal again.
The dragon was skeptical about this, but after I swore repeatedly, it finally agreed to my request.
I asked the church to prepare logistical supplies for me, and planned to go to the forest alone. Since those people were useless, I would rather not have those cats and kittens, so as to avoid the others being a drag.
Just as I was about to set off, the two Andianka brothers found me alone and knelt in front of me.
"Sir, please let us go with you!"
I could tell from their voices that they meant what they wanted, and I had no doubt that they both really wanted to go with me, but unfortunately, their abilities weren't up to par.
I said directly, "Even the Knight Commander failed to return safely, so it's useless to bring you along."
The two knights were silent for a moment, and bowed their heads deeply. Even so, their backs were still straight. Their helmets covered their faces, so I couldn't see their expressions clearly. But even so, they still didn't change their minds.
"We know that our strength is low and we can't be of any use. But even if we can only be your stepping stone, as long as it is for your safety, we will not hesitate even if it means death."
"Sir, please allow us to go with you. We are your guardian knights, and we will never let you face danger alone, even if we die."
In the very beginning, "Knight" originally referred to the warriors who embarked on the road to audience with God and signed a contract with God.
They gave their souls and purity and received the promise of God.
Brave man, you should not be afraid of injury and pain.
Sacrificed one, you will never drown in the night.
Man of honor, your name will be praised forever.
Then time passed, and more and more knights appeared. Although the road to the audience was broken, they still passed on the torch of faith, just like the Knight Commander and the two people in front of me.
I stared at them and asked calmly, "Even if you are about to die?"
The two men did not hesitate and said in a loud voice: "We will never retreat!"
The dragon bowed its head beside me, with fire burning in its golden vertical pupils. I stretched out my hand, touched their foreheads, and whispered.
"I heard that."
Where they cannot see, a golden thread connects us.
Humble people, hereby pledge.
An honest person will never go against this statement.
Please listen to this voice. Protect those I protect, and have mercy on those I have mercy on.
The wounded knight embarked on the road to audience, and with his brilliant soul he got the opportunity to meet the gods.
They knelt on one knee and prayed devoutly. The god with a blurred face lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice:
then.
This is the original covenant between God and man.
