"Miss Nimf isn't back yet."
Hiding in the shadows of the ruins, Fina looked worriedly at the distant sky. Under the dark and gloomy sky, something like flying insects could be seen hovering over the ruins. They were little fiendish demons hovering in the ruins. Although Fina and Fangzheng could not see those things clearly from the distance, they were sure that it must be full of danger.
"Mr. Fangzheng, is Miss Nimf really okay?"
"She should be fine."
This was the only thing Fangzheng could be sure of. Previously, Nimf told him that she was going to investigate, and then she disappeared without a trace, which made Fangzheng a little worried. But he could still feel the transparent chain in his hand, and there was no problem with the Soul Stone inlaid on the 'Dimensional Codex'. This made Fangzheng feel a lot more at ease.
"I don't think that child will deliberately take the risk. Just wait a bit … Huh?"
At this moment, Fangzheng suddenly felt something vibrating in his pocket. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and took out a badge from his pocket. It was his own badge of the Holy Sanctum. At this moment, the badge was faintly emitting white light and vibrating. It looked like the vibration mode of a mobile phone had been turned on. Seeing this scene, Fangzheng was overjoyed.
"Reinforcements are here!!"
During his days in the Holy Sanctum, Fangzheng had also learned some information about the Holy Sanctum. One of them was the mutual resonance between these badges. Because there were space restrictions and communication blockage spells in this world, people had naturally developed various corresponding methods.
The resonance of the badge in Fangzheng's hand was one of the relatively simple methods. The badges of the Holy Sanctum were all blessed by the Order. Within a certain range, as long as power was injected into them, they would automatically resonate and vibrate. Depending on the direction and distance, the frequency and brightness of their flashing would also change. It was actually a bit similar to a metal detector that could glow.
Holding the badge tightly, Fangzheng also injected a bit of power into it. Soon, the badge in his hand became hotter and hotter, and the light began to shine. Not long after, Fangzheng heard a series of flapping wings, and then he saw several black shadows descending from the sky, flying in his direction.
It was a knight on a pegasus.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so handsome."
Fangzheng couldn't help but lament as he looked at the knights clad in white armor and fluttering cloaks. The Holy Cathedral's style was truly majestic. Apart from anything else, there was only one word to describe it — handsome!
Coupled with the fact that they were riding on pegasi, they looked even more handsome.
Fangzheng didn't choose to wave at them foolishly. He had long passed the age of being impulsive. Moreover, he didn't even know what dangers there were in this godforsaken place. He could only hope that the pegasus knights wouldn't attract the attention of the little fiendish demons, or else the situation would become even worse.
Fortunately, the pegasus knights sent by the Holy Cathedral weren't stupid enough to let the enemy discover them. They hovered in the air and descended, then landed in front of Fangzheng and Fina. And just as the pegasus landed, Fangzheng saw the leader of the knights dismount and walk towards him excitedly. And before Fangzheng could say anything, he slapped Fangzheng's shoulder.
"Hey, kid! I knew you wouldn't die so easily! "
"Mentor?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Fangzheng was obviously a little surprised. The knight in front of him also took off his helmet, revealing Shi Dong's "very unique" face. At this moment, he also grinned and looked at Fangzheng.
"To be honest, when I received the news, I thought that someone was scaring me. I didn't expect it to be true! Hey, why didn't you tell me that you were coming back? And where did you run off to? I haven't heard from you for more than half a year. But looking at you, you've changed a lot, and your body has become a lot stronger. It seems like you've been living well! "
As he spoke, Shi Dong slapped Fangzheng hard. If it was in the past, this slap would have been enough to make Fangzheng unable to withstand it. But now that his body had been modified by the Zergs, this slap was nothing.
"Please wait, Lord Shi Dong."
At this moment, an ice-cold voice sounded from behind Shi Dong. Upon hearing this voice, Shi Dong's expression changed slightly. He curled his lips helplessly at Fangzheng and walked to the side. Then, Fangzheng saw an old man in a white robe appear from behind and walk toward him.
On the surface, this old man seemed to be no different from an ordinary old man. He was tall and thin, and his hair was all white. However, his every movement carried an elegant demeanor. He stared at Fangzheng with a gloomy expression. After a moment, he softly asked.
"You're Fangzheng? An Apprentice Guardian Knight from the Silver Nation working in the Temple of Star-Moon City? "
"Yes."
Although the old man's tone was not very polite, Fangzheng still nodded obediently after glancing at Shi Dong. He had already passed the age where he was young and hot-blooded. Although this old man's tone was not very polite, since the other party was an existence that even his teacher had to stand obediently to deal with, of course, he would not be stupid enough to look for trouble at this time.
"I want to see your proof. Take out your badge and astral runes."
"Okay."
Upon hearing the old man's command, Fangzheng took out the badge and astral runes from his bosom. The old man walked forward and carefully looked at the badge in Fangzheng's hand before looking at his astral runes. After that, he took out a scroll and softly chanted a few prayers. Along with the old man's chanted prayers, the scroll turned into a golden light and shot into the astral runes in Fangzheng's hand. Shortly after, Fangzheng felt his body begin to emit a gentle white radiance. At the same time, his astral runes also began to flicker.
After a few moments, the radiance disappeared. At this moment, a smile appeared on the old man's seemingly unchanging face.
"Welcome back to the temple, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
"Wait? Your Excellency? "
Upon hearing this form of address, Fangzheng was taken aback. Then, he looked at Shi Dong in astonishment. If he remembered correctly, only Grand Knights and above were qualified to be addressed as Your Excellency in the temple. He was just an apprentice guardian knight. How could he be addressed as Your Excellency?
Perhaps sensing Fangzheng's doubts, the old man spoke slowly.
"The Bishops have learned from Grand Knights Marte and Stone about your heroic actions in the Shadow Ravine. Your willingness to sacrifice yourself for Order and justice and your courage to face the Son of Chaos is admirable. Therefore, after some research, the Bishops have decided to confer the title of Grand Knight upon you. Therefore, you are now a Grand Knight like Sir Shi Dong."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the old man's answer, Fangzheng was even more dumbfounded. Of course, he knew that a Grand Knight was not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of honor, seniority, and military exploits. Take Fangzheng for example. His strength was a notch higher than Connie's. If they were ranked according to strength, then Fangzheng would be a proper guardian knight.
But even so, he still had to start from the apprentice guardian knight level. And now, he was suddenly promoted from an apprentice guardian knight to a Grand Knight … Wait a minute. Thinking of this, Fangzheng's expression suddenly turned ugly.
If I remember correctly, a promotion of two ranks in a row is the treatment of a martyr ….
"Hahahaha."
Looking at the bitter expression on Fangzheng's face, Shi Dong finally could not help but laugh out loud.
"You've finally realized it. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter too. How many times have I told those smelly old men that you won't die so easily, but they insisted on treating you like a dead soldier. Now that's great, hahaha, kid, you didn't see the expressions on those old men's faces when the news of you reached the Holy Cathedral …. Now that I think about it, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Ugh …."
Looking at his mentor's cheerful face, Fangzheng did not know what to say. He did not expect to encounter such a thing …. It seemed that even if he returned to the Holy Cathedral, there would still be a lot of trouble waiting for him. No wonder the old man was so serious just now. He even checked his badge and star runes …. After all that effort, he actually became a Grand Knight?
"Alright, don't look so bitter."
Looking at Fangzheng's expression, Shi Dong laughed even more happily.
"Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it? How many people can't even meet a Grand Knight in their lifetime? Besides, you have the strength. You should know that you killed the Child of Chaos all by yourself. Matt and I basically didn't help much. From this point alone, your strength and qualifications are enough to be a Grand Knight. Besides, you've also sent us intelligence …. By the way, what's the situation now? "
"Please wait a moment, mentor."
Fangzheng had finally contacted Nimf. After learning that she had returned safely, he was finally relieved.
"My companion has gone to investigate. She should be back soon. We'll know the details when we ask her. Ah, she's here."
"Her?"
At that moment, Shi Dong saw a blue-haired girl fly down from the sky like a fairy and come to Fangzheng's side.
"Master, I'm back …. Who are these people?"
Seeing so many strangers in front of her, Nimf seemed a little uneasy. She stared at the pegasus knights vigilantly while quietly hiding behind Fangzheng.
"… ….."
Looking at the colorful wings behind the blue-haired girl, Shi Dong and the pegasus knights behind him were stunned.
