Back in the Sanctuary Island, the reception hall that hadn't been opened for a long time finally opened up at sunrise.
Two groups of Reserve Knight Riders pushed the door open and walked down the hill. There were two people standing straight on each step.
The Reserve Knight Riders walked down one by one and when all 333 steps were filled, a group of people walked over from afar.
Kieran and Schmidt walked side by side.
A step in front of them was Nicil and an unknown Sanctuary deacon.
"So dazzling!"
Schmidt looked at the Reserve Knight Riders in their silver armor. His eyes felt like they were reflecting the sunlight, causing him to blink and unconsciously cover his eyes.
Kieran also took a glance at the dazzling Reserve Knight Riders and then turned his attention to the unknown Sanctuary deacon.
Although the Reserve Knight Riders were decent, the one that caught Kieran's attention was the Sanctuary deacon.
The Sanctuary deacon's aura was showing signs of weakening, just like how his age showed. Aging according to the mystical realm's calculations.
However, the Sanctuary deacon was still nimble and agile.
The 333 steps were like flat ground to the Sanctuary deacon.
Of course, the most important thing was the way the Sanctuary members looked at the Sanctuary deacon.
It wasn't just respect anymore.
It could be considered reverence!
It was far more comfortable than the surprised and doubtful gazes from Kieran.
"Finally, I'm up!"
Schmidt heaved a long sigh.
Three hundred plus steps were nothing to him since he trained every day but the gazes from the Reserve Knight Riders were a little unbearable for the chief officer.
In fact, Kieran felt a little uneasy as well.
Kieran hid it well though.
"This way, please!"
The Sanctuary deacon whose name was unknown bowed meticulously and made an inviting gesture.
Nicil did the same.
His face was still maintaining a solemn expression and a never before seen holiness.
Schmidt stared at Nicil. If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen Nicil in action before, he would have been fooled.
Schmidt winked at Nicil. He saw that Nicil wanted to say something but held back his words. Schmidt smiled and followed behind Kieran into the reception hall of the Sanctuary.
Behind the two ten-meter-tall stone doors was a hall that matched the doors.
The word spacious was no longer suitable for this place.
It was as wide as a city square. Only then did it fit the description of this hall.
With the center of the hall as the center, the stone chairs radiated in all directions. They did not reach the end of the hall, but there were 1,111 chairs.
A thousand of the chairs were scattered around.
The eleven chairs were in the middle.
There was one in the middle, and five on each side.
It was obvious that the arrangement of the chairs had its own pattern and meaning.
The unknown deacon walked to the middle seat, but didn't sit down. Instead, he gestured to Kieran to sit down.
"You want me to choose?"
Kieran looked at the eleven chairs in front of him and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Subconsciously, he treated this as a test.
"Hugh's seat should be in one of them right?"
Kieran thought. He didn't even care about the unknown deacon's gesture and chose a seat outside of the eleven chairs to sit down.
The other seat was outside of the eleven chairs, but it was closer to the front among the thousands of chairs.
Nicil who was standing behind the unknown deacon widened his eyes when he saw the scene. He then covered his face helplessly.
His action attracted an angry gaze from the unknown deacon.
Nicil quickly bowed down.
The unknown deacon frowned but didn't say anything in the end. He turned around and showed a smile to Kieran.
"Welcome back, Hugh Holy Knight!"
His voice wasn't loud or soft at first but after it echoed throughout the hall, it became sonorous and sonorous.
It was like a signal.
The reserve Knight who had been waiting outside for a long time shouted at the same time.
"Welcome back, Hugh Holy Knight!"
"Welcome back, Hugh Holy Knight!"
…
Voice after voice, it was like a tidal wave.
As the waves rumbled, it spread throughout the entire Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary members who were waiting for the news in silence heaved a sigh of relief.
With the lord's test, it wouldn't go wrong!
Joy filled the hearts of these people.
As for Kieran …
It was a terrible situation!
When Nicil's expression changed, Kieran noticed something was wrong. When the unknown deacon spoke, Kieran knew he had fallen into a trap.
Hugh's original seat wasn't among the eleven chairs.
It was near where Kieran was sitting.
However, the unknown deacon used his actions to change Kieran's first impression, turning the unknown into the truth.
He knew that after the exchange just now.
Even if Kieran didn't admit his identity, it was useless.
The Sanctuary acknowledged his identity.
In simple words, if the Sanctuary suspected that Kieran was Hugh's reincarnation before, now they had acknowledged him.
The voice that spread throughout the Sanctuary Island was enough to prove everything.
"Is it really like what my friend Schmidt speculated? Has the situation in the Sanctuary gotten this bad?
Whether I am the reincarnation of Hugh Holy Knight or not, you people still want to treat me as one? "
Kieran squinted his eyes and asked with a mocking tone.
The unknown deacon didn't say anything, he just waved his hand and pointed at Kieran.
Or more precisely …
The stone chair that Kieran was sitting on.
"Are you talking about the chair that I am sitting on?
What does it have … "
As Kieran spoke, he started to size up the stone chair.
It was normal, nothing special about it.
However, after Nicil signaled, Kieran raised his hand and touched the bottom of the chair's handle with his finger. His face started to look weird.
Hugh!
Two words were carved on the handle of the chair.
Kieran was sure after he touched it with his finger.
"What kind of trick are you playing?"
Kieran raised a brow at the unknown deacon.
He didn't believe in coincidences.
The scene before him must have been caused by some unknown means.
"This was left behind by Hugh when he was young. Other than a few people, no one else knew about it and I only found out about it this morning!"
"So …"
Nicil said with a weird expression.
"So, you people are even more certain that I am the reincarnation of that Holy Knight?
"Especially when I have a power similar to the Sanctuary Force on me?"
Kieran said as he raised his right hand. A faint white glow appeared in his palm.
It was a kind of energy that warmed one's heart.
It gave off an inexplicable sense of tranquility.
However, it was obviously different from the Saint Hall Energy.
It was a vigorous life force that far surpassed Sanctuary Force and it didn't have the heaviness and sternness of Sanctuary Force, neither did it have the interchangeability between the two.
"Now, please take a good look at the difference between the Dawn Force and the Sanctuary Force that I have!"
Kieran said.
"Nicil!
Yes, sir! "
"Go and record the extra Sanctuary Force that was created after Hugh's reincarnation, named Dawn Force. Place it in the Hall of Legacy for the later generations to look through!"
"Yes, sir!"
The unknown deacon spoke again.
"You shameless bastard!"
Kieran's face was as heavy as still water while Schmidt said angrily.
The unknown deacon smiled and looked at Kieran and Schmidt with a kind gaze.
He didn't even care about Schmidt's scolding.
