The result of this battle caught Lord Kraut and Lord Wally off guard. Although they did not expect that the two candidates on their side would win, they never thought that Rodin, who had "absolute confidence", would lose. Moreover, he lost so miserably. Even if he survived, the rest of his life would be over.
Solanton suddenly spoke up, "Miss Elisa, this matter is very clear. Tenishou was the mastermind behind all of this. Lord Solanton and Lord Wally were merely deceived and used."
Kraut and Wally weren't fools. Since Solanton had given them a way out of this embarrassing situation, the more they distanced themselves from Tenishou, the better. They hurriedly agreed, berating Tenishou for deceiving them.
Solanton took the opportunity to ask Elisa to remove Tenishou from his position as captain of the Knights of Light, detaining him on the spot.
Tenishou, who was being held up by the Knights of Light, struggled and shouted, "No! There's a conspiracy behind this! Miss Elisa doesn't have a specific position, she doesn't have the authority to remove me. As captain of the Knights of Light, I request to appeal to the Royal Capital branch! "
Eliza blinked and suddenly thought of something. She took out an item that looked like a cross and gave off a holy aura. "Right, this was given to me by Uncle. He said that I can take it out at an important moment to represent him in making some decisions. I wonder if I can use it now?"
"The Sacred Wing Crest …" Tenishou groaned. His last hope had been destroyed, and his entire body went limp as if his bones had been pulled out.
Looking at the coat of arms representing the cardinal, Solanton and the others looked at Eliza with more awe. Eliza seemed to be unaware of it. She smiled and put away the coat of arms. She did not look at Ternius who was being taken away or Solanton who was trying to please her. Her gaze fell on Chen Rui, "Erm … Richard, is your injury okay?"
Seeing Elisa's nonchalant smile, Chen Rui suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. There seemed to be some sort of black-bellied nature lurking behind that innocent and cute smile. Whoever treated this lady like a fool was the real idiot.
Chen Rui looked breathless and replied, "I'm just a little exhausted. Thanks to Sir Paul just now, otherwise I would have …"
Paul nodded slightly at Chen Rui. Eliza's big eyes flashed. "Your beast-taming skills are indeed amazing. You were actually able to completely tame the Thunderbird's hatchling. Furthermore, you launched a fatal blow at the critical moment and defeated Rodin. According to our agreement, you have now officially become a Radiant Knight Candidate, and I am your recommendation. As long as you pass the three years probation period, you can become a real Radiant Knight. "
"Thank you, Miss!" Chen Rui saluted as a Knight of Light.
"Go and have a good rest first. I want to go to the Magical Beast Trade Fair in the afternoon. I just happen to lack a guide."
Chen Rui wanted to say that it was also his first time in Garton City, but he saw the look Solanton was giving him and immediately nodded. "Understood."
Chen Rui was not qualified to participate in the following banquet. Instead, he hurriedly went to Garton City with the monks arranged by Solanton to familiarize himself with the environment. He did his homework in advance to prepare for the upcoming 'guide' job.
In the afternoon, Chen Rui took Eliza and Joanna to stroll around Garton City. He seemed to be a veteran who was familiar with the roads. In addition to the Knights of Light who were guarding, Paul also followed.
Along the way, Joanna talked to Eliza and ignored Paul who was constantly trying to please her. Paul was infuriated, but he acted as if nothing had happened.
The Magical Beast Market in Garton City was very lively. There were many species of demonic beasts, and many of them were untamed. Their prices varied. Chen Rui had an eye-opening experience. He saw all kinds of demonic beasts in the human world. The one that impressed him the most was the griffin. It was fierce and powerful. It had the body and claws of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. It could fly in the air. Humans had already mastered the secret technique of taming gryphons, turning them into the strongest aerial mounts.
There were not many griffins in the Magical Beast Market. Most of them were ordinary. There was one whose strength reached C-level, which was equivalent to a Demon King. According to Chen Rui's estimation, the strength of a griffin was not inferior to the wyvern of the Demon Realm. Although it did not have the poisonous attribute, its agility and ferocity were superior.
In contrast, the Thunderbird was even rarer. If the griffin was more like a shadow of a beast, then the Thunderbird was a real bird. It had the talent of thunder and lightning. Its fierceness was even more than the griffin, only below the dragon, the overlord of the sky.
The Thunderbird was stubborn and difficult to tame. Many people were surprised when they saw the Thunderbird chick on Chen Rui's shoulder. Some even came up to ask for the price.
The Thunderbird generally lived in a special environment. Solanton once said that this Thunderbird chick came from the Island of Storms in the southern sea of the Yangshao Kingdom.
The Island of Storms was one of the famous dangerous places in the human world. Just the violent hurricanes that surrounded the island all year round made people stop at the sight of them. The Island of Storms contained countless dangers and many powerful beings. Compared to one of the ultimate creatures, the Thunderbird could only be regarded as a minion. This creature was called the Titan.
The Titan was a giant creature, also known as the Titan Giant. It was extremely powerful and could directly use its physical strength to compete with the powerful dragon. In addition to powerful close combat strength, the Titan Giant also had powerful long-range magic attacks. They were born with the ability to control thunder and lightning. There were also a small number of talented ones who could control frost and storm. The Titan Giant's will was extremely strong. It would not be affected by any negative mind magic, such as Flash, Paralysis, Fear, etc.
Legend had it that there were countless treasures and wealth on the Island of Storms. There were also legends that there was another mysterious and powerful creature on the Island of Storms. There were many different opinions. Over the years, countless explorers had gone to the Island of Storms, but very few of them had survived, including some Saint-level experts. None of them had returned alive.
Legends were just legends. In reality, there were indeed some special resources near the Island of Storms. This Thunderbird hatchling had been accidentally caught by a mercenary team who had ventured to the edge of the Island of Storms to pick a rare Thunder Grass. It had been sold at a high price in Garton City and had been bought by Solanton.
"Richard, your thunderbird doesn't seem to have a binding seal?" Eliza asked in surprise.
Chen Rui immediately corrected her, "This isn't my thunderbird, Miss Eliza. It's a gift from Master Solanton."
"It's yours now," Eliza flashed a cute smile, "My beastmastery is actually very amateur, but as a hobbyist I can feel that even with this thunderbird by my side, its true master is still you. That's why I'm giving it to you. Actually, I'm more interested in you than the thunderbird … "
"Huh?"
Her words were easily misunderstood, but Eliza quickly continued, "I heard from Pastor Mana that you're a child of a large family. You came out to train for the right of inheritance, but you seem to have the soul language and beastmastery of the elves. I'm very curious … Who are you?"
Chen Rui was secretly vigilant, but on the surface, he showed a bitter smile, "Everyone has their own secrets. I can be honest with Miss that the [Soul Language] was obtained by chance. This is actually the biggest foundation of my beast-taming skill. If it wasn't for the power of [Soul Communication], with my strength, it would be impossible to control Thunderbird with just the beast-taming skill, even if it was just a young bird."
"So that's how it is." Eliza nodded and said, "However, your beast-taming skills are very special, especially in some of the details. In short, Reverend Solanton has a good eye. You are a candidate with great potential to become a Knight of Light. If you're willing, I can recommend you to the Knights of Radiance branch in the capital of Yangshao to learn from Lord Reumann. If you perform well, you'll become an official Knight of Radiance in less than three years. With your potential and specialties, you'll definitely become a core knight of Yangshao, and maybe even have the chance to enter White Cliff in the future. "
In the future? Unfortunately, I want to enter now … Chen Rui could vaguely hear Eliza's intention to recruit talents for the faction, and he felt that this girl could not be underestimated. He revealed a contemplative look, but finally shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but my ambition is not to become a lifelong clergyman. I just want to become a follower of a paladin, and then take back what belongs to me with my own hands."
"Oh, I see." Eliza revealed a look of regret, but she immediately regained her cheerfulness, "It's alright, but you've disappointed me. Knight Richard, as a punishment … Tell me the story of how to obtain the Soul Whisper!"
Just as Chen Rui was about to speak, Joanna pulled Eliza aside, "Eliza, we've seen enough here, let's go to the busiest street. Didn't you want to buy that?"
Eliza was stunned for a moment, looking at Joanna's expression as realization dawned on her, "Ah, so it's that thing … Alright, Richard, take us to the busiest commercial district! Err … Lord Paul, Uncle Wesley, you can go back and rest. "
Paul frowned, looking at Joanna, "What do you want to buy? Let me go with you, there are too many people in Garton City, how can there be no one to protect you? "
"We're going to buy a woman's personal belongings, do you really want to go with us?" Joanna said coldly.
Eliza also looked at Paul with a weird look. Paul suddenly couldn't stand it, so he had to remind Chen Rui to pay attention to safety. Then, he turned around and left with the guard knight, Wesley and others.
After Paul and the others left, Eliza and Joanna both smiled knowingly. This was the first time Joanna had smiled, and that gentle smile was exceptionally moving. No wonder Samuel was willing to go to the demon realm for her.
Chen Rui thought about what Samuel had said before, and a thought came to his mind, "Ladies, the largest commercial district in Garton City is in the east of the city, we should go this way."
"Richard, I'm warning you now, do not tell anyone about what you see or hear next!" Eliza's expression suddenly turned fierce, "Otherwise, not only will I strip you of your status as a substitute knight, I'll also lock you up in the church's inquisition!"
"Understood!" Chen Rui nodded hurriedly, adding, "I swear by the God of Light!"
