"I don't know if it should be said that you are getting better and better, or that my reaction is starting to slow down as I get older."
There were only two people in the duel arena dedicated to the Holy Knights within the Holy See, and the exhaustion and remaining comfort after the duel could be seen to some extent.
The older one was the first to put down the sword in his hand, and the chief, who felt that his movements became more and more unfavorable as he got older, said with some helplessness and some relief, "Probably both."
When he put away the sword, Silent Yan also put the sword back in the scabbard.
While watching Silent Yan's actions, the commander looked at his face and felt a little regretful. He was so young and promising, but he didn't know whether to say that he was inexperienced in love or had no interest in love at all. For many years, there has been no sign of it.
Although there are many admirers in private, most of those people have not even succeeded in asking him out.
If it wasn't for the fact that the chief had no daughter, he really wanted to sell his daughter to this junior, but he would probably fail. After all, his brother's daughter was already a good example.
Even the leader himself can't control himself not to fall in love with a person for the rest of his life, but he can't make any promises to the other party, on the one hand because he holds the position with the highest risk and responsibility, on the other hand, if the god of light If he was chosen as the divine envoy, then after he left, it would be equivalent to leaving everything in this world behind.
But it seems unlikely now. After all, the God of Light normally only chooses a paladin in his prime to become an envoy, and he was not selected the last time, so the next time he chooses an envoy three years later, he will It has already reached the fourth year, exceeding the age limit that the God of Light generally chooses the divine envoy.
If he said that, maybe the other party has the same concerns as him.
The chief has always thought that only he has such concerns, no one knows the specific criteria for the God of Light to choose the divine envoy, and unilaterally thinking that he will be selected and suppressing his emotions is actually a very arrogant and conceited performance. But indeed, in terms of talent and contributions to this continent, Silent Yan is definitely the most preferred choice for the next divine envoy, and his age is just right.
It's easy to go off topic just thinking about it. The head of the group pulled his thoughts back to the present moment, and talked about the things that need to be faced in the near future, "You should know what the church is discussing with me recently, right? To be honest, if you want to say that the person who will take over my position People, then the first choice on my side must be you."
This is not only because of the selfishness of the two of them getting along for a long time and having a good relationship, but the conclusion left by the leader from an objective point of view.
He is the head of the team, and it can be said that he has the most contact with the Paladins. He naturally knows what kind of characters these Paladins have and what kind of abilities they have. There are many freaks among them. It's not as appropriate as Silent Yan. As the head of the group, Siu Yan has all the conditions that he needs to have, and even he can do better. This will make the head of the group feel more confident in handing over all the rights in this position. give him.
Like Yu Wen, although the task efficiency is extremely high, it is too arrogant. In order to complete the task, people who even count the lives of their companions, whether it is the Holy See or the Grand Head, will not consider giving this position to him.
"But the position of the chief is not something I can personally decide."
Silent Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard it, especially the tangled look of the chief commander, as if he really wanted to put this position directly on him, "I understand, after all, the position of the chief commander is equivalent to The soul of the entire Knight Order must be judged in the most fair way, but I personally don't think you have reached the point where you need to abdicate."
The head of the regiment didn't think so, "Don't say that, even if you can still win a few wins and losses with you now, but in two or three years, you probably won't be able to last a few rounds under your hands. You have to know the human race. The body will become more and more sluggish around the age of 30 or 40, and since there are people who are qualified for this position, it is a better choice to take over as soon as possible."
Not only he thought so, I am afraid that the Holy See also thought so.
In recent years, the Dark God Cult has hardly moved, and there may be some new conspiracy secretly. Anyway, at least it seems to be peaceful recently, and for the Light God Cult, taking this opportunity to expand its power is a wonderful opportunity. .
First of all, if the head of the Holy Knights under the jurisdiction of the Light God Sect is known to everyone and is highly respected, then it must be more representative. Although the method is not bright, it will indeed play a very good role. What's more, after the Holy See's observation, Silent Yan fully possesses all the basic qualities for this position.
"You'd better be prepared." The chief reminded.
The most important thing that needs to be done to inherit the position of the so-called leader is to get the approval of all the other paladins, that is to say, to defeat them in terms of strength. The leader who has personally experienced it does not think he will have any problems. , but still can't underestimate the enemy.
In addition to these, after meeting all the tests arranged by the Holy See, the last test is from the God of Light, and the God of Light will not interfere with their choice. However, according to his own judgment, the God of Light will give different degrees of marks to the Paladins who are about to become the grand leader.
This mark will directly represent the attitude of the God of Light, because the person who gets the mark can directly obtain the endless power of light through this mark, and the strength of the mark determines the speed of obtaining the power of light.
This is a blessing, and it is also on the head of the head, but this mark will disappear automatically after he resigns.
Because of this mark, he will even have an advantage over magicians of the same level in the use of magic, but this advantage seems to be of no use to Shen Siyan. After a duel using magic swordsmanship, the chief found that he could not get any benefits.
The reason for this is obvious, because the light power blessed with a lot of faith power is far more powerful and destructive than the pure light power, but people who do not know the existence of faith power must not think of this reason.
After having a good time, he said everything he had to say, and the leader of the regiment waved his hand and decided to invite his future successor to a meal.
Halfway through the way to the restaurant, they met Xie Cheng and Qi Zhuo who were also going to the restaurant.
Xie Cheng was considered a celebrity after all, and the head of the regiment greeted them when they saw it.
When Xie Cheng became an adult, he wore the attire of a formal knight and a long sword. He looked valiant and his smile was sunny and free and easy. When he saw them, he immediately walked over and said ok.
And Qi Zhuo next to him has completely grown into a standard aristocrat. Just looking at him may feel arrogant at first glance, but in fact, everyone who knows him knows that he treats seniors very politely. All kinds of bad bugs are fixed and half left.
The first thing he said when he saw Silent Yan was "I've become the head of the branch."
Although people who have gotten along with Shen Moyan will think that he is a person with a good personality, the frequency of his replying letters is really low. Qi Zhuo is the only one who insists on sending letters even if he does not receive a reply for so many years. He always writes about his recent achievements, big and small, in his letters.
However, this is the first time I've heard of this.
Qi Zhuo is the most outstanding of their group. After overcoming the ideological obstacles in dealing with the enemy's battle, his growth is increasing day by day.
Silent Yan was not surprised by this news. Even if Qi Zhuo didn't say it, as one of the Paladins, he would have been informed of the changes within the Knights from the Holy See, but he still congratulated, "Congratulations."
After all, this is not something ordinary people can achieve at this age.
As if he got the words he wanted, Qi Zhuo turned his face away, and said in a stiff but excited tone, "It's not a big deal, just tell you."
The head of the group laughed and said, "How can it not be a big deal? This position is not for everyone. If you are competent, it shows that your ability is good enough."
After he finished speaking, he poked the person next to him with his elbow, "Are you guys in the same period? The congratulations are too shabby. Say a few more compliments. Young people need encouragement."
"You don't have to do this kind of thing, it's just because it's the same period that I..."
"You really need someone who can stand in this position to replace the former head of the branch and do these things well. I will choose you too, just because it is so natural, but I don't think there is much to say." For Silent Yan It was completely expected that Qi Zhuo could become the head of the branch, so he didn't feel too surprised, and naturally he didn't think there was anything worth mentioning.
The commander was startled by Silent Yan's speaking skills. He watched helplessly as the knight who said he didn't need praise a second ago slowly turned red, but because there were so many people around, he insisted. With a sullen face, he said awkwardly, "I, I don't think there is anything to say. Anyway, I won't be happy because of a few compliments."
Obviously happy.
As a companion who has been with the Knights day and night, Xie Cheng has long been accustomed to Qi Zhuo's old problem. He has always felt that Qi Zhuo and him are a bit similar, because they all want to be recognized by the same person. In the letter, it is also to say it in person in person, right
If he really wants to say, Xie Cheng feels that Qi Zhuo is different from him. He wants to be recognized based on the help the other party extended to his childhood. It is an obsession accumulated during childhood, but Qi Zhuo is not the same. Not the same, Xie Cheng even felt that he didn't want to be recognized, but just wanted to get the attention of the other party, just like the believers of the God of Light were looking forward to the occasional gift of the God of Light.
Every time I think about Xie Cheng, I wonder if I think my friend is too morbid. After all, Qi Zhuo usually looks very normal. He directly asked Qi Zhuo if he had any special thoughts about that person, and he was held on the spot. The ground was beaten violently.
At that time, Qi Zhuo's expression didn't look like he was angry. He seemed to think he was talking nonsense at the time, and frowned and said displeasedly, "How could I be delusional about that kind of thing?"
Xie Cheng came back to his senses and thought about it, and felt that Qi Zhuo was really ill.
Xie Cheng is actually a little envious of Qi Zhuo, Qi Zhuo is not like him, he has nothing to say at all.
A few years ago, after thinking twice, he decided to be honest with the Holy See, and put his grudge in front of everyone. It wasn't that he really believed that the Church of the God of Light would protect him 100%, but that he had reached the limit. No choice is made anymore.
With the growth of the rank, the fighting qi gradually began to appear the outline, and then the color. Xie Cheng realized that as long as he needed to use this power for one day, then he must not be able to hide it, so there were only two choices for him. , one is to leave the Holy See and keep the secret of this power forever, and the other is what he is doing now to make this secret no longer a secret.
If he leaves the Holy See, unless he does not use vindictiveness in his life, then this power must be hidden, but if he really does not use power in his life, what is the significance of him leaving the Xie family and coming to the Paladins? At first, he was just unwilling to be treated differently by his parents, and unwilling to live an ordinary life, but now it is different. He belongs to the Knights.
To leave is to leave behind everything he has now.
Instead, Xie Cheng chose to gamble.
Although the process was bumpy and encountered a lot of doubts and troubles, it seems that the results are good. The existence of vindictiveness cannot be transferred to other people. It is Xie Cheng's own power. This power is too special and the Holy See cannot Accurately defining his existence, coupled with his very strong combat effectiveness, the Holy See simply assigned him to the troops directly under the sub-header.
Because it is relying on vindictiveness, Xie Cheng feels that it is not something worth showing off. In addition, he has been very troubled recently. It seems that his ability has somehow leaked out. An inexplicable but powerful man, he couldn't catch the man and couldn't keep his mouth shut. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to reveal it to others, but was simply interested in his abilities, and there was no similar news from the outside world. .
He was hesitating whether to inform the Holy See about this, but he felt that it would be unforeseen.
Silent Yan noticed that Xie Cheng frowned and seemed to be thinking something troubled, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of something annoying."
If Xie Cheng said what was in his heart, then Silent Yan would have guessed who the man he met was, but Xie Cheng didn't want to trouble the other party because of such trivial matters, so he missed it by holding back. Opportunity to reveal the mystery ahead of time.
After a meal, they parted their own ways. Each of them was busy and had little time to spare.
Silent Yan went to a market in the city before going back, stopped at a stall selling accessories, and picked out a few rough gems that had no attributes or processed.
He is so famous now that the stall owner was so excited that he took out a lot of store treasures and wanted to give it to him, but they were all rejected.
Finally, the stall owner pulled out a box. When the box was opened, there were two rings inlaid with a kind of diamond-like gemstone. When illuminated by the light, it exuded a rather brilliant light. It was very valuable at first glance.
"This pair of rings is quite special. If you don't want to give it to you for free, you might as well buy it." The stall owner said attentively, "This is not a commodity for sale. If it is an adult, I would like to give it for free. I just hope this A pair of rings can bring happiness to adults."
"happiness?"
"Yes, if you find someone you cherish and give each other this pair of rings and wear it, you will be happy together forever. This pair of rings has such a legend."
Not only does it look, it also sounds like a modern diamond ring.
Silent Yan picked up one of the rings and wanted to see what kind of material the gemstone in the ring was.
As a result, as soon as he picked up the ring, the gemstone on the ring suddenly shattered without warning.
It was like being forcibly smashed to pieces.
