The radiance was like mist and smoke.
Yet it had a power that Kieran couldn't neglect.
Compared to the divine radiance of the Gods in the temple district and the gaze of the Gods, Kieran who was bathing in Lady Thorn's radiance had a different feeling.
He felt like he saw a river.
It branched into countless branches and flowed ceaselessly, yet he couldn't see the source or the end of the river.
He was also in the river.
He wasn't at the main part of the river.
He was just on the branches of the river.
It was just a little better than the smaller branches.
Kieran who was standing there wanted to take a step forward.
However, just as he moved, a wave came crashing over and pulled him into the river.
Throughout the whole process, he couldn't resist at all.
Even though he tried his best to struggle.
Fua, Fua Fua!
Kieran's ears felt like it was echoing with the sound of flowing water.
He also felt like he could feel the touch of the water.
However, at the next moment, he was back in the great hall of Thorn Temple. A voice was echoing in his ears.
"Are you willing to be my Knight?"
The voice was calm and its volume wasn't that loud.
However, the voice had a sense of majesty and mysteriousness, causing the archpriest, officiant, and elder priest to kneel on the ground.
Kieran quickly kept away the discomfort from the illusion and bowed respectfully in a Knight's salute.
"Of course."
Kieran replied seriously.
"I will grant you the honor that matches your strength and also the reward that you deserve."
The voice from the radiance sounded again.
Then, the radiance faded and so did the voice.
However, new notifications popped up in Kieran's vision.
[Acquired Vanessa's Favor!]
[Vanessa's Favor: Lady Thorn's favor will bring unexpected benefits when facing fate. Of course, it won't grant you success in every endeavor but it will make your luck better than usual.]
[Note 1: Vanessa's favor is only effective in this world, it will disappear after leaving this world.]
[Note 2: When you return to this world, Vanessa's favor will appear again.]
…
"A little better luck?"
Kieran looked at [Vanessa's Favor] in astonishment.
He had not expected Vanessa's reward to be this.
What was even more unexpected was that Vanessa could affect a person's luck.
"A derivative brought about by fate?"
"Then …"
"Was what I saw before the River of Destiny?"
"But why is there no beginning or end?"
"And those tributaries, how did they come about?"
Kieran subconsciously guessed.
The River of Fate ran through the path of a person's life.
There was a starting point and an important point.
Nikorei's book "Astrology and Destiny's Trajectory" explained this point in detail.
It was different from what he saw.
This made Kieran slightly puzzled.
However, Kieran did not show his doubts.
He smiled as he looked at the High Priest, the Officiant, and the elderly priest.
"Chief Knight Ryan."
The elder priest was the first to bow.
Although he was much older than Kieran, his position as a priest was one rank lower than the Knight.
"Chief Knight Ryan."
The High Priest and the Officiant greeted Kieran with a smile as well, their gazes had a warmth that wasn't there before.
No doubt after receiving the honor and reward from Lady Thorn, they had treated Kieran as one of their own.
Therefore, the following topics weren't hidden from Kieran.
"With that person's mediation, the war between Lady Vanessa and Carricanton was temporarily halted but it is far from over.
We need to be wary of them at all times. "
The High Priest was the first to speak.
No one objected to the High Priest's suggestion.
Everyone understood that after the previous battle, old and new grudges were added together, Thorn Temple and Wealth Temple were like fire and water.
It wasn't strange for a new war to break out at any time.
"I think we should take the initiative and strike!
"Take advantage of the moment when their knights are completely annihilated and destroy their temple in one fell swoop!"
The Officiant, who was still a middle-aged man, was much more radical than the High Priest.
"Barry, is that what you think?"
Or? "
The High Priest asked.
He didn't finish his words but everyone knew what he meant.
If it was really Lady Vanessa's idea, there would be nothing else to say, they would surely continue the war.
"Lady Vanessa didn't give any further orders, but I can feel Lady Vanessa's anger towards this war and that person!"
That person is being a little biased!
It was Lady Thorn who started the war and yet she didn't receive any punishment after the defeat, it's really inexcusable! "
As the Officiant who communicated with the Gods, he could feel the true thoughts of the Gods better than others.
"I know right."
The High Priest sighed and nodded. He looked at Kieran and the elder priest who didn't say a word.
"Ryan, Edersen, what do you two think?
"You can speak freely here," Ye Zichen said.
Our Thorn Temple isn't as strict as Sin Temple. "
The Archpriest said with a smile.
Kieran and the High Priest exchanged gazes before Kieran made a 'please' gesture.
The education he received since young prevented Kieran from competing with an elder.
Moreover, both of them didn't have any conflict.
"Archpriest, Officiant, Chief Knight.
My limited knowledge prevents me from giving you all constructive suggestions on a decisive level, all I can say is what I think should be done from my point of view: compensation!
The dead Knight, deacons, and priests should receive their own honor and belonging. "
The High Priest said after bowing one by one.
Just like what the High Priest said, he saw it from the High Priest's point of view.
"Em.
"Ryan, what do you think?"
The Archpriest and Officiant nodded before looking at Kieran again.
Unlike before, this time, the High Priest sounded like he was testing Kieran.
Lady Vanessa's appointment was sacred, it couldn't be changed.
However, as Lady Vanessa's Archpriest and Officiant, Kieran had the duty to make the appointment as precise as possible.
In simple words, Kieran had to prove his capabilities.
If he couldn't, Kieran would still be the Chief Knight but the person in charge of the Knight Order would be someone else.
"My opinion is to replenish the Knight Order.
Pick out the most outstanding ones from the reliable ones and add them to the Knight Order. "
Kieran said slowly.
The moment the words escaped Kieran's mouth, the Archpriest, Officiant, and the High Priest instantly showed disappointment on their faces.
It was normal, nothing special.
It could even be said that any ordinary person would be able to think of this point.
Kieran glanced over the three of them and continued, "Then …"
He purposely lengthened his words and instantly captured the three of their attention.
"Bring out my specialty!"
When the three of them placed their attention on him, Kieran said word by word.
Ryan's specialty?
The three of them were stunned.
