Fangzheng did not know that he had attracted the attention of a Knight Captain. The banquet had already begun, just as Fangzheng had expected. After the banquet began, Bishop Karl, who was in charge of guarding the North, immediately began to speak. It was nothing more than that the Order Fortress was in danger, and the righteous men had made great contributions by risking their lives for the court … Oh, no, for world peace. Their contributions will be remembered forever. Next, let us welcome the first person of the year who touched the Holy Cathedral ….
Most of the people who went on stage to receive the award and receive the cheers were the people stationed at the Order Fortress, including the two powerhouses who were stationed there and the reinforcements who arrived later. Of course, Bishop Karl did not forget to mention Grand Knight Shi Dong. However, he didn't explicitly say what Shi Dong and the others had done. He only said that the Great Knight Shi Dong had led his men to defeat the Church of the Day of Destruction and attempted to fish in troubled waters while the Order Fortress was in danger. It could be considered as a hasty gloss.
Of course, those who knew the inside story knew that the Day of Destruction Church was the main culprit in the siege of the city, and those Magical Beast Lords were just innocent bystanders. In other words, those Magical Beast Lords were just there to tie down the Holy Cathedral's forces. If that was not the case, the Holy Cathedral would not have sent so few people to the Dark Swamp …. Of course, this kind of thing did not need to be said out loud.
Fangzheng was bored to death as he listened. At the same time, he frowned secretly.
Although Bishop Karl spoke in a bureaucratic tone, as a high-level official who had to hold countless meetings every year, Fangzheng certainly knew how to find clues from the bureaucratic tone. Sometimes, ordinary people would just listen to an ordinary official's words and treat it as nonsense. But those who knew would immediately understand the meaning behind it.
Just like this time, Bishop Karl spoke in a bureaucratic tone. On the surface, it looked like he was flattering the soldiers stationed at the fortress, but in fact, he had left the Day of Destruction incident at the end. Although this seemed like a casual remark to most people, anyone who had reached this level would immediately understand — Oh, so this time it was the work of those bastards from the Day of Destruction Church.
But the name that Bishop Karl mentioned next was very interesting.
Under the leadership of the Grand Knight Stone — Hmm, this meant that the credit for this operation belonged to Stone. Fangzheng did not care. He knew that with his current relationship with the Holy Cathedral, they would not allow him to make a name for himself. As for Shi Dong, be it in terms of seniority, reputation, or loyalty, he was the best choice. However, he did not even mention Fina, which made Fangzheng a little unhappy. Fina was very important in this operation. To be honest, if it weren't for Fangzheng's reminder from Fina, would you guys still have the time to drink and celebrate here? They would have been wiped out by the Hell Army a long time ago!
This was also the reason why Fangzheng was dissatisfied. Karl should not have been so stupid that he could not see the relationship between them, but he actually did not mention Fina at all. This was really strange. His relationship with the Holy Cathedral was only so-so, and he had only joined the Holy Cathedral halfway through, so it was fine if he was abandoned. But Fina was your priest-in-training, wasn't she? What was the point of hiding her instead of boasting about it? Could it be that she was your secret weapon? Superman doing good deeds without leaving his name was also voluntary. Didn't the media brag about it a lot?
And during this banquet, Fangzheng did not see Fina at all … Could it be that she was also abandoned by the Holy Cathedral like him? No way …
At this thought, Fangzheng shook his head. That silly girl was stubborn, but her faith was still quite devout. She would not go as far as to fall out with the Holy Cathedral. But he could not understand it even if he thought about it. Fangzheng decided to ask Shi Dong about the situation later. He should have some understanding of the situation.
After a series of "hello, hello, hello, hello, hello everyone", the banquet officially began. The noble ladies immediately stepped forward and began to chat with the "heroes" guarding the Fortress of Order. Fangzheng even saw one of the young ladies chatting happily with Knight Conan, but he did not know if the child could withstand the great power of the name Knight Conan …
"Fangzheng!"
"Long time no see, mentor. Congratulations on receiving the Knight of Honour Medal."
Looking at Grand Knight Shi Dong walking towards him with a smile, Fangzheng also smiled and bowed respectfully to him. Fangzheng respected Shi Dong very much. Strictly speaking, Shi Dong had not been with him for a long time, but he had treated him quite well. The fact that Shi Dong came to him as soon as he stepped down showed that he did not hold any grudges against Fangzheng because of his choice.
The Knight of Honour Medal Shi Dong received was also the highest honour below that of a knight captain. After all, the title of knight captain required legendary strength to obtain it. Although Shi Dong had worked hard this time and made great contributions, he only had the strength of a grandmaster and could not be promoted to a knight captain. The Knight of Honour Medal was also a very good reward.
"Hey, you still have the cheek to say that."
When he heard Fangzheng mention this, Shi Dong slapped Fangzheng on the shoulder with a look of exasperation.
"This was originally prepared for you. If it weren't for the trouble you had with the bishops …"
Damn, these bastards really want to tie me to their pirate ship.
Hearing Shi Dong's answer, Fangzheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He had just become a Grand Knight, and they actually gave him the highest honour medal of a Templar Knight? These f * cking bishops are really ruthless. Fortunately, I escaped quickly when I saw that the situation was not good, or I would have died trying.
"Everyone has different ambitions. By the way, how are the others doing? The Pegasus Knights should have been rewarded too, right? "
"Of course, the Holy Cathedral will definitely reward them. Besides, in that operation, they were the ones who held back the demons summoned by the Day of Destruction Church. They even sacrificed a lot for it, so of course the bishops would not ignore it."
"Then, what about Fina? I think that Miss Priestess must have also been rewarded by the bishops. "
"Fina?"
And when he heard this name, Shi Dong blinked in a daze as he looked at Fangzheng.
"You mean …"
"Hmph!!"
But before Shi Dong could finish, he saw Fangzheng's face suddenly turn dark. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an extremely cold murderous intent!
"That bastard, he's really digging his own grave!"
The next moment, Shi Dong felt his vision blur. Then, Fangzheng's figure disappeared in front of him.
What happened?
Looking at this scene, Shi Dong was also taken aback. Then, his expression turned solemn. He hadn't been in contact with Fangzheng for a long time, but he understood him well enough. Now that Fangzheng actually exploded with such a strong murderous intent in public, it meant that something must have gone wrong!
Oh no, something's wrong!
Back to a few minutes ago.
After leaving the noisy hall, Connie knitted her brows tightly. She couldn't hide the anxiety and depression in her heart no matter what. As one of the members who protected the Order Fortress, Connie was naturally rewarded by the Holy Cathedral. If it were in the past, she would have been jumping for joy by now. But now, Connie didn't look excited at all. Every time she thought of her comrades who sacrificed themselves in the Order Fortress, she would feel incomparably solemn. Besides, unlike the others, because her father was a high-ranking member of the Holy Cathedral, Connie knew very well that the reason why the Order Fortress was attacked so fiercely was because of the cultists.
Damn cultists!
Thinking of this, Connie remembered the face that she hated so much. She was sure that it was indeed Williams. She didn't know what method he used to avoid the inspection and sneak into the Holy Cathedral.
Moreover, it was only after he appeared that the news that the Day of Destruction Church was holding a ritual in the Capital of Darkness came from the Northern Lands. Although the intelligence said that he blocked the consciousness of the cultists, Connie didn't believe that a cultist would turn over a new leaf. This must be some kind of strategy to lure the Holy Cathedral to let down its guard!
Not to mention, before that, this guy disappeared for more than half a year without a trace. No one knew where he went. Although Grand Knight Shi Dong and Grand Knight Marte said that he jumped into the spatial rift to defeat the Son of Chaos, who knew if it was true or not?
Damn it, if only I can find evidence … This bastard, he's always swindling people in the Holy Cathedral. He must be up to something. I can't let him succeed!
"Lalala …."
At that moment, Connie suddenly heard a crisp singing. She looked up and found that she had unknowingly walked into the garden behind the Holy Cathedral. She looked in the direction of the singing and saw a blue-haired girl with two ponytails sitting under an evergreen tree not far away. She was playing with the kitten in her hands while singing.
Isn't she the girl who followed Williams?
Connie was stunned when she saw the blue-haired girl. It wasn't because she cared about her, but because the huge collar around Nimf's neck was too eye-catching. It was impossible for Connie not to notice it.
But why was she hiding here? Could it be that the evil cultist had sent her to set up some sort of conspiracy during the ceremony?
Looking at Nimf in front of her, Connie held the hilt of her sword in her hand. At that moment, she suddenly had an idea.
If she could start with this girl, would she be able to find evidence that Williams was a cultist?
The more Connie thought about it, the more it made sense. From the looks of it, this girl had probably been coerced by Williams. Otherwise, why would a normal girl wear such a big collar? Could it be that there was something wrong with this collar?
