Chapter 681 Guardian Knight
After listening to Waddington's words, Edward did not interrupt, but listened and thought.
Naturally, he also thought about whether he could bestow a title on this young God of Death so that he could join Sky City. After all, the young God of Killing not only had great potential, but his attitude towards Sky City was also friendly at present.
It would be best to win over such an outstanding young man, not to mention that he might be able to obtain more potions.
Just what kind of identity should be given to this god of death?
Judging from the situation of the God of Killing, he is not afraid of the major Holy City forces at all. If Edward gives him a small name, I am afraid that he will not be able to win over him.
Just as Edward continued to think, Waddington's words continued to come.
"My Lord Duke, I think you can actually give him the status of a guardian knight. This young killer can risk his own life to save the lady this time. It must be appropriate to give him the title of a guardian knight, and a knight's fiefdom only needs one
The village is enough!”
"I believe that with the fiefdom of a village, this young murderer will gradually integrate into our city in the sky!"
Waddington's idea is very simple, that is, first of all, make this young murderer willing to accept the title bestowed by the Sky City.
If ordinary people had the opportunity to join Sky City, they would definitely dream of it.
However, evil young men like the God of Death are often aloof and do not like to be restrained, so it is often not so easy for big forces to recruit such talents.
But the situation of this young murderer is a little different. Judging from his attitude towards Miss Adela, he must accept the title of Guardian Knight.
After he accepts it, he will be assigned a village as a fief.
As time goes by, this fiefdom will naturally become his bondage, and he will voluntarily integrate into the Sky City.
"Is it the identity of the guardian knight?"
After listening to Waddington's suggestion, Edward nodded thoughtfully.
Waddington's method is indeed good, and it is a good way to tie the God of Death to the Sky City.
Because if you just use a normal reward method to win over, then there is a high chance that he will not accept it if you let an evil young man be subordinate to others.
But it's different if you become Adela's guardian knight.
Because this guardian knight actually does not need to take orders from Edward, nor even from Adela.
Therefore, facing the murderous young man is not considered as a form of restraint or subjugation. He only needs to be responsible for Adela's safety.
Moreover, in the Holy Continent, the rewards for the Guardian Knight are various, including gold and silver coins, diluted treasures and peerless weapons, and fiefdoms can also be used as rewards, and these are considered as guarantees for the Guardian Knight's training and equipment.
And if Sky City really uses fiefs as rewards, having fiefs will mean that the young man of Yushashen has a strong connection, and can maintain a lifelong connection at one time. This can be regarded as joining Sky City in disguise.
The only thing Edward had some doubts about this method was whether his granddaughter would get too close to the young murderer, and the relationship between the two might deepen in the future.
But then I thought about it, and judging from the situation of my granddaughter, even if the murderous young man did not have the identity of the guardian knight, Adela would definitely continue to have contact with him.
Unless he intervened directly, but if he was really willing to intervene, Edward would have intervened in many ways.
"Then try this method of yours!"
Edward finally made a decision. Regardless of whether the murderous young man accepted it or not, this was a kind gesture of kindness released from him.
"Your Majesty the Duke, this subordinate will leave first!"
"Go for it!"
Afterwards, Waddington left the room, while Edward continued to wait in the room as agreed with his granddaughter.
…
More than half an hour later, Adela came to the room dressed up and wearing a flawless white dress.
"grandfather!"
After Adela entered the room, she first looked at the bed. When she saw Gervais still lying quietly on the bed, she felt relieved and looked at her grandfather and shouted obediently.
"Well, why are you here so soon? Grandpa doesn't have much to do tonight, so he can stay here and watch for a while!"
When Edward saw his granddaughter walking in, his expression was slightly helpless. Although it was not late at night, it was almost time.
My granddaughter is here now, why should she have to stay here at night?
"Grandpa, I'm not sleepy! Why don't you sit down? Come and sit here!"
Adela knew that her grandfather felt sorry for her, but she was unwilling to leave. She immediately put on a spirited look and replied to Edward.
Then she coquettishly took Edward's arm and sat down on the sofa nearby!
"Okay! It's all up to you!"
For Adela to look like this, even if Edward wanted to blame it, he couldn't say it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
After sitting down, Edward remembered his previous conversation with Waddington and immediately spoke softly to Adela.
"Adela, what is the name of this young murderer?"
"Grandpa... I promised you that I couldn't tell you anything!"
"If I ask him what he is telling you after he wakes up, he will definitely agree!"
Adela was a little embarrassed, and finally whispered to Edward.
"Is that so? My grandfather originally wanted to find out the identity of this young murderer and give him a reward as a guardian knight!"
In fact, when Edward was at Leng Jade Manor, he heard Adela shout out the name of this murderous god.
Now he just wanted to tease his granddaughter. When he heard that Adela really refused to tell him, he said to Adela with a slightly disappointed expression.
"Ah! Guardian Knight! Is it true, Grandpa! You are so kind!"
Adela's beautiful eyes widened and she exclaimed. She quickly moved her body closer to Edward, then grabbed his arm and began to shake it and thank her.
"Of course this is true, but if my grandfather doesn't even know his name, then it definitely won't work. Why don't my grandfather think about it again in the future?"
Edward replied with a smile.
"No! Grandpa, I'll tell you now! You're the best! I'll tell you now!"
"Grandpa, his name is Gervais Gale!"
Adela's face instantly turned red. She knew her grandfather was angry because she didn't tell him Gervais's name.
Immediately, Adela shook Edward's arm harder and started acting coquettishly.
Moreover, in the face of the temptation of the guardian knight, Adela still broke her own principles and secretly leaked Gervais's name.
Because the Guardian Knight is really too tempting.
This guardian knight was handed down hundreds of years ago when there were many kingdoms in the Holy Continent.
Guardian Knight, as the name implies, is a title that specifically protects a certain person.
Back then, the Holy Continent had a population of tens of billions and hundreds of principalities. It was also an era when powerful people emerged in large numbers.
At that time, many principalities, large and small, would give them the title of Guardian Knight in order to win over some strong men.
For example, protecting a certain prince or protecting a certain princess.
Such a title of guardian knight will not put any constraints on this strong man, but it can ensure that both parties maintain a good relationship, because the title of guardian is completed on the equal status of both parties.
Once a guardian knight becomes someone's guardian, when the protected person is in danger, he must fulfill his promise to protect and complete the protection!
What is even more exaggerated is that hundreds of years ago, some super strong people were not just protective of one person, but could protect many people.
According to rumors, hundreds of years ago a strong man received invitations from dozens of kingdoms, large and small, to become the guardian knight of the children of their kingdom, and the strong man received countless fiefs and other rewards.
So why can one person protect so many people and feel exhausted?
In fact, those kings were not stupid. This was entirely because that strong man had a reputation as a strong man who was well-known in the Holy Continent.
Many times when people know that this person is protected by a strong person, and they want to harm him, they have to consider their abilities and whether they will face the devastating revenge of the strong guardian afterwards.
Although the human race has now changed from a large and small kingdom to a holy city-state, some people still use guardian knights occasionally.
And Adela is very willing to be protected by Gervais. In this way, her relationship with Gervais will be further developed, and she may be able to find him legitimately.
"Gervas Gale?"
Edward finally heard the name of the God of Death completely.
"Alright! Alright! Adela, if you shake it again, you will knock Grandpa out!"
"Now that you know the name! Grandpa won't think about it too much! When the young man named Gervais wakes up, you can ask him if he agrees. If he agrees, then Grandpa will organize it for you.
A ceremony of guarding and canonization!”
Seeing Adela reveal the name of this murderous young man, Edward stopped teasing his granddaughter and immediately let go.
And he felt that it would be more appropriate for Adela to ask about this matter herself.
"Thank you Grandpa!"
When Adela heard that her grandfather had agreed, she was immediately satisfied and stopped shaking Edward's arm!
"Okay, grandpa will leave first! You can go and rest early later!"
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Adela was still in excitement and immediately nodded obediently!
"Um!"
After saying that, Edward stood up and walked out of the room.
However, after walking out of the room, Edward felt a little worried, so he sent several servants to wait for service inside and outside the room.
Chapter completed!
