GOR Chapter 490 The Real Knight! (Part 1)
The surface of the Golden Cross Spear was filled with astonishing scars. Those scars seemed to be telling the story of how many fierce battles this legendary Holy Spear had gone through.
Despite being damaged, the surface of the Golden Cross Spear continued to flow with a peculiar lustre. The moment the Golden Cross Spear was brought into the main hall, the torches that were originally shining brightly seemed to have lost their lustre.
Everyone's eyes were focused upon the Golden Cross Spear. Even Knight Deron, the famous clown, was ignored by everyone at this moment. The looks of disdain on everyone's faces turned solemn as they carefully observed the Golden Cross Spear brought in by the two golden armoured warriors.
It did not take long for Kami Siro, Baron Sack and the other generals to step down from their seats. Facing the Spear of Longinus, they knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads.
Since the day of the coup d 'état, Prince Son had suddenly brought out this long-lost Divine Artefact, destroying the morale of the rebel army in one fell swoop. This was the first time this legendary Divine Artefact had appeared before everyone's eyes.
As for Du Wei, the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly.
Compared to the people present, Du-Wei's understanding of this spear was much, much more!
At the same time, the moment the Golden Cross Spear was brought into the main hall, Du Wei could vaguely sense it. The other two Divine Artefacts that he kept within his storage ring, the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour and Flash Bow of Ketu-Rahu, were trembling silently. It was as though a certain power had stimulated the divine powers that they originally contained.
The buzzing sound of vibration reverberated within Du Wei's mind. It was as though the two Divine Artefacts had been stimulated and were ready to move.
Du Wei took a deep breath and quietly retracted his hand back into his sleeve. His fingers gripped tightly onto the biggest storage ring on his thumb and he slowly poured a strand of his mental power into it to soothe the vibrating Divine Artefact.
"I think everyone should know what this is." Prince Son stood up in front of the throne and looked down at his ministers with a solemn voice: "This is the spear of the Knight. It represents the spirit and glory of the Knight. Over the years, its loss caused Knight's spirit to gradually decline on this continent. The spirit of martial artists also gradually declined … "
As he spoke, he gently walked down the steps and left the throne. He came to the side of the two golden-armored warriors and suddenly grabbed the long spear with one hand, raising it in his hand.
"However, this spear shouldn't be kept in the palace as a collection. It was the symbol of Knight's spirit, the soul of a martial artist's glory. So, since I have made the decision to rebuild the Knight Association, then this spear … "As he spoke, his eyes fell upon Delon the Knight." Delon, this Spear of Longinus, from today onwards, from this moment onwards, I will return it to the Knight Association! I hope you can keep it well! "
Buzz!
This shocking decision made everyone boil up. Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other. Even the quiet prime minister, Robscher, only nodded slightly without saying a word.
"Duke Tulip." Prince Son didn't look at the excited Delon. He just casually handed the spear to the president of the Knight Association. Delon quickly received the spear with both hands and held it firmly in his hand as if holding the most precious treasure.
Prince Son didn't look at him and instead turned to Du Wei: "Duke Tulip, this proposal to rebuild the Knight Association was put forward by you. So, this matter will be handed over to you! I believe Delon Knight will cooperate with you very well. "
Du Wei immediately stood up without hesitation and loudly agreed.
Next to them, Delan Mountain Demonic Beast, Camisillo, and the others also stood up and patted their chest to guarantee that they will do their best to assist the Duke in completing this important task.
However, the finance minister seemed to have some objections. He hesitated for a moment and was about to raise the issue of the reconstruction cost. This isn't about rebuilding a small organization, but the ancient Knight Association!
It's not as simple as just spending some money to repair the association's headquarters in the capital!
To rebuild a continental association, all the branches across the continent must be reorganized. What needs to be built, what needs to be built, what needs to be built, what needs to be expanded, what needs to be expanded, and the Knight Association's membership system, elders council, Knight regiment, and so on … …
Not to mention anything else, there are so many provinces in the empire, so many cities, so many places to rebuild the Knight Association's branches. The cost of building such a huge framework is absolutely not small!
In the past two years, the empire has been building the Kabaski Line of Defense in the north. Although the Duke of the Tulip Family is heavily sponsored, the financial situation is still very tight.
There is only one thought in the old man's mind: I don't have money!
But seeing that the Regent has handed over this matter to Du Wei, the old man's heart was not worried: What is there to be afraid of? Anyway, Du Wei has plenty of money. Since he is fully in charge, then naturally, he will have to pay for it.
Moreover, the old man's heart had a trace of dissatisfaction: The Knight Association has been dead for hundreds of years. What does it have to do with the empire's central government? You Duke of the Tulip Family really have nothing better to do. Why do you have to worry about this? You even want to propose a proposal?
At this moment, the finance minister made up his mind. He half-closed his eyes and did not speak. He decided in his heart: Play dead! Anyway, the Regent did not order the Finance Department to pay for it. I am happy to play dead and not speak. It's better to have less trouble.
The ministers who were born in the military were quite excited. They praised the Regent's decision, but a considerable part of it was to give face to Du Wei: How can we not applaud the Duke of the Tulip Family's proposal? You want to object? That's simply a fool.
Prince Son smiled as he looked at the reaction of the ministers below. Without any hindrance, this matter was easily decided.
"Well, that's all for today's meeting. I hope everyone can assist the Duke of the Tulip Family in promoting the martial spirit of the empire! To revitalize the spirit of the martial artists! "After pondering for a moment, Prince Son looked at Delon Knight.
This slippery guy is really on the right track. He quickly expressed his loyalty in a loud voice. The level of nauseating words was so nauseating that he almost wanted to hug Du Wei's leg and call him the savior of the world.
•
After the meeting was over, many of the nobles and Du Wei retreated after exchanging some pleasantries. On the other hand, Kami Siro and the other Demonic Beasts, as well as Count Biliaibuer and the others, all gave Du Wei a meaningful glance and left without saying a word.
On the other hand, Knight Deron, the clown in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, stuck to him with a flattering look. It was a pity that his handsome face was ruined, "Grand Duke Tulip, you see, the next thing..."
Du Wei also knew a lot about this joke in the capital's aristocratic circle. So he just smiled and said with a serious look: "Delon Knight, you are the president of the association. As for this matter, I'm just an outsider. Moreover … … I'm not a Knight right now, but a magician. I think His Highness wants me to be responsible for financial matters. As for the specifics, I still have to rely on you … … "
Delon immediately cried out: "What's there to be afraid of if you're not a Knight? My Lord, as long as you say the word, I'll get you a Knight's identity evaluation document tomorrow! Uh … … It's not good to have a low level. So, I'll personally award you a ninth level Knight badge! "
Du Wei rolled his eyes and thought: No wonder the Knight's Association has declined. It would be strange if you didn't die when you met this kind of president!
The two went all the way out of the palace, but Delon already had an idea. It seemed that he wanted to hug Du Wei's thigh. He insisted on inviting Du Wei to go with him to the Knight's Association headquarters in the capital.
Du Wei looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. He had agreed to meet with Camisiro and the others in the evening. Anyway, he had time in the afternoon. Moreover, he didn't need too much training with the emperor's tailor, so he agreed.
He sent someone to call the Knight Elder Smoke and brought a few Knight guards from the Tulip Family. Du Wei followed the president of the Knight's Association all the way to the headquarters of the Knight's Association.
When he came out of the palace, Du Wei almost laughed when he saw the palace servant bringing Delon Knight's mount.
This dignified president of the Knight's Association, the mount of the ninth level Knight of the continent, was simply a disgrace!
In front of Du Wei was a thin and small old horse … … It was so old that Du Wei was a little worried whether it could carry this fully armored Knight. Moreover, in terms of size, this "Knight's Warhorse" was not much bigger than a donkey. Delon Knight was very tall. When he sat on the horse, his legs could almost drag on the ground. He also needed to slightly bend his knees … … This action was undoubtedly very funny.
Du Wei's mount was naturally the best warhorse produced in the grassland. When the two walked side by side, this Delon Knight was much shorter than Du Wei.
Du Wei sighed in his heart and couldn't help but laugh, "Delon Knight, is the Knight's Association so short of funds? Don't you even have a decent warhorse? "
Dylon smiled carelessly. He casually threw the "Spear of Longinus" onto the hook of the saddle as if he was throwing away garbage. He didn't even take a look at it. Dylon's reaction was very different from his excited and loyal look when he held the spear in the hall just now. Du Wei couldn't help but have the urge to hit him. That was an artifact!
It was the most powerful artifact that Ares had used to defeat the powerful Demon God and defeat the gods!
Soon, Delon began to cry, "Your Excellency Duke, you don't know! Now the Knight's Association is having a hard time! Not to mention a good horse, many of us in the Knight's Association can't even feed ourselves now! "
Du Wei frowned, "It can't be that bad, right? Although the Knight's Association is now declining, the military will at least send a batch of officers and generals to the Knight's Association every year to assess the Knight's rank. These people will pay the application fee for the rank assessment! Also, mercenary groups are so popular now. The Knight's Association all over the world has a large amount of income from the rank assessment. And … I heard that you have 'specially approved' many Knight's rank badges in the capital. "
Du Wei finally couldn't help but stab this guy with his last sentence. However, Delon Knight's skin was obviously thicker than Du Wei expected. He didn't even blush and laughed straightforwardly, "Your Excellency, you don't know! The cost of maintaining a large continental association was not small at all! Don't think that the military will send a batch of warriors for the rank assessment every year. That little amount of money is not even enough to repair the buildings of our Knight's Association branches every year! Now the Knight's Association has a total of 168 branches in the continent. The annual maintenance cost is tens of thousands of gold coins! "
Du Wei was taken aback, "It's just daily maintenance and it costs so much?! Tens of thousands? Tens of thousands of gold coins is enough to build new houses! "
"Isn't that so!!" Delon continued to cry, "Your Excellency! The Knight's Association is big! You don't know about the houses in the branches! But they are not small houses! This is the Knight's Association. When it was in its glory days, the houses in the branches were as big as they could be and as grand as they could be! Now, those big houses need to be repaired. It's not something that can be done with just a dozen or twenty gold coins! There are also many old buildings that are hundreds of years old. They are all antiques. It's even more troublesome to repair them! "
"Then it's better to sell them directly and rebuild smaller houses."
"Sell? I want to! "Delon curled his lips," But the Empire's Code of Law has an iron law. The real estate of the Knight's Association cannot be sold! I can't do anything about it! It's a waste to keep those big houses. We still have to spend a lot of money to repair them. I really want them to collapse on their own! "
