After hearing Aiwass' words, the cardinals in the room had different expressions.
Some people looked shocked, some were deep in thought, some hesitated to speak, and some frowned.
The first person to speak up and smooth things over was the owner of the place, Cardinal Cyril.
"——You are worthy of being recognized by His Majesty the Pope and Si Zhu. Even I didn't expect that you actually passed the assessment of the Lord of Scales and Feathers in just one week."
The old cardinal, whose body was transformed into a tree and whose body was covered with amber, calmly protected Aiwass in just two sentences.
As the leader of the "Market Supervisor" faction, Cardinal Cyril is obviously a bit thin.
And his moderate and conservative character makes him always tend to eliminate the upcoming conflicts invisible - before a quarrel occurs, proposing Aiwass's hesitation in advance will obviously help to make people more patient.
Clearly, his words are effective.
The middle-aged elf with short brown curly hair and a frowning brow glanced back at Cardinal Cyril, and finally chose to remain silent.
Aiwass could clearly feel the undisguised hostility from him - it was a kind of desire without any turbidity, it was quite clear and burning, as intoxicating as refreshing spirits.
So Aiwass turned around and asked directly without any hesitation: "Excuse me... what do you call me?"
"Belisarius."
The other party replied so briefly.
He was wearing the kind of white robe that Parthians usually preferred to wear, with only the left side of his chest exposed. The entire left side of his chest was transparent, like a carefully carved diamond. Through the "diamond shell"
, you can even clearly see his snow-white jade ribs and the powerful beating heart inside his body.
Aiwass thought briefly for a moment and found that he indeed did not remember this cardinal. But he could not rule out that he was a member of the Yan Yi Tiantuan.
But at this time, the other party asked: "Don't you know what you did?"
"What?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked.
"—Let me tell you, Bailey."
The person who answered the call was not Belisarius, but the paladin "Topa" who had met Aiwass during the promotion ceremony.
The young cardinal, whose path was crystallized behind his back, nodded slightly, put his right hand on his chest like a knight, and introduced himself very enthusiastically: "I remember who you are... I am 'Topa', you
Maybe you remember me, Aiwass! You once enthusiastically helped me during the promotion ceremony...
"Oh, sorry! I haven't introduced myself yet - there's no need to call me Topa here. You can call me Siegfried. Guardian of the Second Circle, a member of the 'Mediator'. I'm with
There is a contract between the Silver Crowned Dragon and the Sand Clock."
He even stated the direction of his high-level magical contract without hesitation.
However, rather than saying that he resembles a knight, it is better to say that the concept of "knight" resembles him.
When he heard this name, Aiwass knew the other party's true identity.
Any college student at Avalon should know his name.
——If Aiwass remembers correctly, the first knights were the admirers and imitators of "Knight Siegfried" in the Herasl Empire. They served as mediators like Herlechin.
Siegfried also traveled around the world. However, he ended up with a completely different fate than Herlechin.
Siegfried did not have as many followers as Herletzin, nor did he emphasize absolute justice as much.
He always travels around the world alone, preventing unnecessary disputes wherever he sees, and helping those he likes fulfill their wishes.
Those words that could morally kidnap Herchin were meaningless to Siegfried - because Siegfried's belief was to "only help those he can see" and "ignore the tragedies in the distance."
"It's meaningful", "Even if it only helps one person get happiness, it's meaningful", "There is no distinction between big and small acts of kindness."
Later, when he traveled to the Herasl Empire, he met a group of young people. They were all admirers of Siegfried and yearned for his "freedom to do whatever you want."
Siegfried was very happy and stayed for decades, teaching them martial arts seriously.
But he also warned them that free deeds must be restrained. So he set a creed for his disciples - helping the weak, being loyal to the master, firm belief, being enthusiastic and polite. Later, these gradually evolved into Hera
The professional code of the Sir Knights.
In a sense, he can even be said to be the father of the country of knights. The original knight, the "zero" knight.
But in the game, Aiwass has no memory of the other party.
the reason is simple.
Because as early as in the early part of plot 0, when the Theocracy was split, Siegfried was already dead - he died in the internal fighting among the cardinals.
From another perspective, Siegfried died due to Cardinal Loki's conspiracy.
"I remember you."
Aiwass looked at Siegfried, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his tone became gentle and friendly: "First meeting, Mr. Siegfried."
Although he had already guessed it... but now that it was confirmed, Aiwass still had to sigh: in the absent promotion ceremony hosted by Merlin, the companions brought by the pure white saint were indeed cardinals.
"It's only been a few months... It seems like it's less than half a year, right? I remember when I was still at the second level, now I have mastered advanced magic and became a cardinal. What an amazing talent," Qi
Gefried admired from the bottom of his heart, "He is indeed the person His Majesty the Pope has named and paid attention to! This is the purest devotion!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several other cardinals who did not know Aiwass suddenly changed, and they all paid attention to Aiwass.
Compared to the true identity of "Xingchen", this news is indeed more frightening.
...Are you kidding me, the second energy level?
Just half a year...didn't it pass in the blink of an eye?
In just a blink of an eye, he jumped from the second level to the fourth level, and even mastered advanced divine arts that humans had never mastered before...
Could this be the reincarnation of an apostle who dedicated himself to the path?
Aiwass was a little curious about Siegfried's "Pope's roll call" and asked: "Can I ask, what does His Majesty the Pope think of me?"
"Your Majesty, she..."
"——Siegfried."
Favna reminded her gently.
After hearing Favna's reminder, Siegfried suddenly came to his senses.
He explained to Aiwass seriously: "Just last night, an unprecedented catastrophe occurred in the Theocracy."
"……Cataclysm?"
For a moment, Aiwass thought that the tree and amber disaster had finally come.
But what the other party said next moment made Aiwass slightly stunned for a moment:
"We currently call this disaster the 'Star Catastrophe'.
“Because just last night, about 5% of the elves were implanted with the ‘Warrior’ profession by ‘Stars’.
"Most of them come from inheritors, which is fine. But there are also some professionals who come from other paths, which has caused their original paths to be forcibly reversed. Among the current statisticians, one
An archbishop.
"And so far, among the extraordinary beings affected, the one with the highest level of path energy...
