The grand alchemist's eyes and soul trembled when he tried to get a clear look at the other party's face. Not wanting to be blinded, Galt could only identify the other party through the reflection of his golden robe.
The other party was wearing a huge golden full-body armor. Every pattern and engraving on it made Galt feel deeply blasphemous. These golden patterns and the symbol of the double-headed eagle could only be used by the Kurfürst and the Emperor. The eagle statue on the right shoulder of the golden armor looked down on the common people. The red and white velvet cloak showed the other party's extraordinariness. His long black hair was as smooth as silk. The man's face was extremely majestic and indifferent.
Galt knew that he had encountered an undefeatable opponent. However, the other party did not look like a Chaos creation. No Chaos creation could be so sacred and majestic. So he tried to communicate. "I have no intention to disturb your rest, sir. I'm a sorcerer from the Royal Academy of Sorcerers of the Empire. I'm here to investigate the traces of Chaos. We have a common enemy …"
"Human?" The other party only glanced at him and an endless amount of power drowned Galt. All his secrets were exposed under the black-haired man's search. From the moment he was born to the moment he entered this basement, all of Galt's dreams and life goals were revealed in the eyes of the other party.
"An alchemist sorcerer who thirsts for knowledge. Affinity with the magic of the world's origin … and loyalty to humans." The other party finally let go of the pressure and the grand alchemist fell to the ground.
"Loyalty is the foundation of everything. I can sense that your ultimate goal is the future of humans. That's good …" The other party's face was cold and serious. However, his voice continued to ring in Galt's mind. "I can help you restore your destroyed appearance. I can teach you more magic knowledge."
"Then … what's the price I have to pay?" Galt sensed the power of the other party. However, the sorcerer of the Emperor still held on to his bottom line — loyalty to humans.
"Continue your loyalty to humans and the Empire!"
Just like that, a door to a new world opened in front of Galt …
The salty smell of seawater and the sound of waves filled the cabin of the passenger ship. When Laing woke up, he found himself lying on a soft bed. This cabin was the best room on the passenger ship. It was carpeted, and the cabin was fully furnished. Everything had been nailed down by the captain.
Opening the small window, it was already bright outside. Laing found that he had already changed into a set of white pajamas. The light flickered on and off. The soft mattress, the thick quilt, and the faint fragrance of his body.
Laing sat up. He vaguely remembered that Earl Albert had opened his wine cellar during the celebration party last night. Even though Laing was drunk, he still remembered that his mission was to chase after the Fallen Hunters. Therefore, he declined the earl's arrangement and boarded a passenger ship overnight. Before leaving, the earl gave him three gold coins and his family heirloom to Laing.
It was the pinnacle of dwarven craftsmanship — the Golden Flame of Exorcism, a rune shotgun.
The earl's body was not strong enough to withstand the powerful recoil of the gun, so he could only put the family heirloom aside. However, Laing did not have this problem. He was strong enough.
"A rune shotgun with mercury bullets. Its power is probably beyond my imagination," Laing took out the gun and carefully looked at the runes on it, feeling the power of the gun.
"Looking at weapons as soon as you wake up?" A cold female voice sounded from the other side of the room. "Are you okay? There's plenty of time. You can rest as much as you want. "
Teresa was wearing a silk dress with lilies and lotus leaves. Her black hair was draped over her shoulders without any accessories. Her diamond necklace and sapphire earrings set off the woman's stunning beauty. Seeing that Laing was awake, the sorceress stood up and sat on the man's bed. She reached out her small hand and took the initiative to hold his big hand. "Are you feeling better?"
Her shimmering hair fluttered on the back of Ryan's hand, making the man feel itchy. However, Ryan still pressed her small hand down. "I'm fine. I recover very quickly."
"… When you went up to duel with that barbarian, you really scared me. You shouldn't have done that. You don't have to fight to such an extent for the safety of a city." Teresa put Laing's hand on her long legs. Only then did Laing notice that the sorceress' skirt was a little short. A pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings were completely exposed to the man.
"At that time, I had no choice. I couldn't leave a mess behind. First of all, my reputation would be greatly damaged. Second, this was the only way to salvage the situation." Laing gently shook his head.
"Maybe." Teresa did not answer the question directly. The woman felt the heat from the man's big hand, and her face was a little red. When Laing turned his eyes to make the two of them look at each other, she subconsciously stood up and walked to the bench next to her. "In short, we need five days to reach Marlin Castle."
"Almost." Laing did not want to continue the topic, so the man's gaze fell on the sorceress's beautiful pair of long legs.
Teresa was wearing a pair of purple stilettos today. Seeing the man's gaze on her body, the woman was very pleased. "Do you like it?"
"I rarely see you dressed like this." Laing joked. After winning the championship, he advanced in the battle. The Lake Fairy gave him eternal blessings, so Laing had no reason to be unhappy.
"This skirt is very short. It's easy to be exposed. I'm just wearing it in front of you because you like it. Actually, I don't really like to wear stockings." The sorceress stretched out her slender fingers and gently tugged at the black stockings on her legs. "Wearing stockings will easily attract the attention of men. I hate that kind of gaze. Also, wearing pants in battle will make it easier to move. Skirts are easy to tear."
"Yes, you're right." Ryan noticed that Theresa seemed to have something on her mind, so he tried to ask, "What's going on? You seem a little unhappy. "
"Laing … I, we might have to split up. I received a notice from the council that there's new progress in the excavation of the ruins of the Wizard Empire …" The sorceress unhappily told Laing what happened.
"So you're going back to the Garland Council?" Laing looked a little disappointed, but he almost laughed out loud. With his current reputation, he thought that he should go to the Wizard Alliance or the Royal Wizard Empire Academy. If he really couldn't do it, he could even go directly to the Saintess Monastery directly under the Lake Fairy. He didn't believe that those saintesses and prophets would not help him.
"Veronica said that she will take my place. She will meet us at Marlin Castle, and then I will take over with her." Teresa was really unhappy. The woman did not know what to say. The excavation of the ruins was indeed more important. "So these few days on the passenger ship will be the last few days we will be together."
"Veronica will come? That's fine … What do you mean by the last few days we will be together? You make it sound like we won't see each other again. " Laing complained, and then the man was a little embarrassed. "Uh, I have to get up and change. Can you go back to your room for a while?"
"What do you mean by my room? My room is your room. We'll share this room. You can change behind the screen. "Teresa pointed at the vertical screen in the room.
"Share a room?" Laing's face was pained. "Can you tell me what's going on? Didn't you book two rooms? "
"Your friend Alfred Frey succeeded in persuading his archbishop to go on the adventure with you. Also, that wandering knight called Lopes seems to be your old friend, so I gave your room to them." The sorceress did not care about those things. "There are two beds in this room anyway."
"Okay." Laing awkwardly walked behind the screen to change his clothes.
After taking off his pajamas, Laing noticed that a picture of the Holy Grail had appeared on his chest. The Lake Fairy had used her powerful divine power to engrave the Eternal Blessing on Laing's chest. This was the highest grade of gift the Lake Fairy had given him.
The Holy Grail was the lifelong pursuit of many Brittany knights.
Super Magic Resistance. Immunity to fourth-circle and fourth-circle magic.
Super long-range resistance, immune to most long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.
The Holy Grail Engraving proved that the Lake Fairy favored Laing. In addition, the Lake Fairy's blessing also allowed Laing to be immune to the enemy's prophecies and curses to a large extent. As the Lake Fairy herself had the divine title of prophecy, the Holy Grail Engraving could also speed up Laing's physical recovery.
After advancing to the mid-Legendary-level, Laing's Physique and Wrist Strength had increased exponentially by more than half. With the Lake Fairy's Eternal Blessing, he could do whatever he wanted in the Legendary-level. Even if he couldn't beat his opponent, he wouldn't lose.
I'm also another kind of Holy Grail Knight … It's just that I haven't drunk the Lady's Holy Grail Water (foot-washing water), Laing thought to himself.
The characteristics of the Holy Grail Knight were super magic resistance, super long-range resistance, and never tiring.
After changing his clothes, Laing woke up at noon. He and Teresa had lunch together. Then, the two sat on the bed and began to discuss the next steps.
"At present, although we've lost the clues, it shouldn't be difficult to deduce the whereabouts of the Fallen Hunters. The headquarters of the Aesthete Association is set up in Marlin Castle. Although you can't continue, I'll continue. And … if nothing unexpected happens, I'll get an invitation soon." Laing sat on his bed. Teresa leaned on his shoulder. The woman didn't seem to be listening to his analysis. "Uh … Are you listening to me?"
"What's the point of discussing this now? You can talk to Veronica yourself. " Teresa leaned on his shoulder. The woman whispered in his ear, "Let's change the topic."
"Change the topic?" Before Laing could react, Teresa's white lace gloves were thrown aside. The woman's little hand was intertwined with his fingers. She blushed and asked, "Laing, what do you think about what I told you last time …"
"Knock, knock, knock!" The door was knocked violently. It was Frey's voice. "Laing! Laing! Come out quickly! Something big has happened! "
"What's the matter?" Laing saw the woman's little hand and stood up to open the door. The sorceress' face was red, and she looked at the door angrily.
Coming out of the cabin, Frey Frey grabbed Laing and didn't let go. "Laing, you're famous! His Majesty Karl-franz told the whole country about you! The Lady of the Lake also told the whole Brittany about you through the Convent of the Holy Virgin. Now the whole continent is singing your name. You're famous! "
On the ship, his childhood friend didn't wear a suit of plate armor. Instead, he changed into a white church ceremonial robe. He looked like a handsome blond man, but he still wore scale armor under his ceremonial robe. Seeing Laing was a little stunned, Frey slapped him hard on the chest with his palm. "Good friend! Do you know what's going on outside? "
"What is it?" Laing followed Frey to the deck. As far as the eye could see, the sea was blue, and the waves were rolling.
The sea breeze blew Laing's black hair.
"The Witch of the Lake publicly announced in the Convent of the Holy Virgin that you defeated the barbarian chief Birig because of the Lady of the Lake's blessing. The Archbishop of the White Wolf Church, Malas, publicly said that you won the championship because of the encouragement of the Lord of the White Wolf." Frey Frey said excitedly, "My Lord told me when I was doing the morning lesson today."
"So, what do you think?" Laing chuckled. The man didn't say anything.
"I just want to know! What are you thinking? Whose help did you get? This is important! " Frey Frey grabbed Laing and didn't let go. The blond paladin was eager to know which rumor was true.
Laing didn't answer him. The white wolf knight just pulled down a corner of his clothes.
In Frey's green eyes, the pattern of the Holy Grail shone.
…
In the void, a quarrel broke out.
"You b * tch, you are shamelessly stealing my glory!" Yurick said angrily to the person in front of him. "I need you to give me an explanation!"
"You can't stop him from believing in me. The gods have agreed that no one can forcibly compete for belief. Laing is now my Chosen One, my champion." The Lady of the Lake, who was standing opposite Yurik, laughed at the White Wolf God's slow reaction. "According to the agreement, he is only your subordinate knight, but he is my Chosen One champion. So, from now on, this foreigner belongs to me!"
"Yurick, you can announce that he is expelled from the White Wolf Knights. You can also announce that he is a traitor. But if you do that? What will the other humans think? What will your believers think? You can try. "After saying this, the Lady of the Lake floated away, leaving the furious Yurick.
Even the craziest and most angry gods needed believers. Except for the God of Chaos, all gods needed believers because only the faith of their believers could maintain their existence.
Of course, Yurick could ask his archbishop to expel Laing from the title of White Wolf Knight and take away his badge. But Yurick couldn't bear the consequences. Laing had never done anything wrong to him. The White Wolf Church had been in decline for a long time. At this time, if the White Wolf Church dared to make such a decision and declare a hero who defeated the barbarian invasion as a traitor, then he could imagine the collapse of faith and rebellion it would cause.
He was not the only god in this world!
