The pace of the Temple of the God of War was not slow. Early the next morning, Captain Rocks, the Holy Knight, came to Zhan En's residence in person. At this moment, he had swept away his previous depression and was in high spirits. Zhan En didn't even need to look carefully.

I knew that this guy must have gotten a lot of benefits from the previous ghost ritual. The vague power emanating from him was enough to prove this.

"It seems that your ceremony was very successful. Congratulations to you, Captain Rox Paladin."

Looking at the Paladin Captain Rocks who couldn't hide the joy between his brows, Zhan seemed extremely leisurely and calm. The decadence of the God of War Temple was their own problem and had nothing to do with Zhan, so he also

There is no need to follow the God of War Temple blindly, as long as your own interests can be guaranteed.

"This is all thanks to you, Mr. Zhan. Without your assistance, we would not be able to retrieve the statue intact, and I am afraid that the Temple of the God of War would not be able to return to its former glory."

Compared to Zhan's laziness, the face of Locks Paladin was full of gratitude and excitement that could not be concealed. It is no wonder that although Zhan's temper is not very good, his methods are first-class. Locke

Si knew very well that without his assistance, the temple would not have been able to retrieve the idol so smoothly in the Underdark. A temple that was about to sink regained the favor of God. For the believers, Zhan was simply their savior.

.

Faced with the gratitude of Captain Rocks, Zhan was unmoved.

"It's nothing, Captain Rox Paladin. It's natural to use money to do things. I just did what I should do."

"But for our temple, everything you have done has far exceeded our expectations."

Locks is not a fool. He knows the elegant meaning after hearing Xiange. When he heard Zhan's words, he knew what he was thinking. So Locks did not hesitate and made a gesture behind him. Soon, the two paladins looked at each other.

They walked in respectfully, one of them was holding a silver-white disc in his hand, while the other paladin was holding an elegantly decorated long sword in his hand.

"After we retrieved the statue and regained the recognition of divine grace, the Holy Church also approved your application, Mr. Zhan."

As he spoke, Rocks took a long wooden box placed in a silver disk, respectfully placed it on the table in front of Zhan and opened it. In the long wooden box, there was a

A sheepskin scroll inlaid with gold and sealed with a sacred seal. Next to the sheepskin scroll is a medal of honor. It is engraved with the unique pattern of the Templar Order - a right hand holding a scale, on the scale

Then keep one eye open.

Seeing this medal, Zhan finally felt relieved. The Medal of Honor issued by the Templar Order is a good thing. On the continent of Klein, there are two kinds of nobles. One is the nobles in the national government. Most of them are loyal to

The royal family is recognized by the ruling class and thus obtains the reward of the nobility. The other type is the glorious nobility of the Holy Church. These nobility are not loyal to a specific ruling class, but they can enjoy supreme status through this.

Glory. To a certain extent, the nobles of the Templar Church are more popular than the nobles of a country. The nobles of a country can only live in their nests, but the honorary nobles recognized by the Templar Church can obtain the honors of the Klein Continent.

All temples are supported, and that alone can tell the difference between the two.

The reason why the Holy Church issued such a medal of honor is also for historical reasons. In history, Klein Continent has been invaded by evil shadows more than once, but due to the entanglement of interests between various countries, they often had no choice but to

United together to fight against evil.

In this case, defeating evil sometimes becomes a mistake. Many times cultists will infiltrate into the ruling class of certain countries, and those heroes who uphold justice will eventually defeat evil, but their

This move also brought inevitable losses to some countries. For example, in AD329, the hero Raiden led his team to break through many obstacles and finally eliminated the witch Garcia who caused trouble. But the problem is,

Garcia was also the only princess of the Kingdom of Kures at the time. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was tempted by evil spirits and fell into darkness, she deserved it, but Garcia had no choice but to choose to learn evil secrets in order to save the country.

*****The indiscriminate killing of innocent people mostly occurred in the enemy country of Kures. Although Garcia killed many innocent people, who among the people of the Kingdom of Kures would care about this?

What is the use of justice in the temple? When we in Kures were bullied by the enemy, in addition to asking both sides to sit down and negotiate all day long, who in your temple church was really willing to help the kingdom of Kures? Although Princess Garcia has fallen,

But she fell for our country and people. She died for the country!! And you so-called heroes only saw how innocent the civilians killed by Princess Garcia were. Could it be that our Kures border was

Are all the villages and towns that were invaded and destroyed by the other party unjustly killed?

Therefore, many people in Kures were very dissatisfied with the death of Princess Garcia, and in turn, they naturally resented the hero Raiden and his companions. So much so that Raiden and others entered the territory of Kures.

After that, he was even deliberately imprisoned for many days under a pretext, and was finally released after the temple was alarmed.

After several such incidents happened, in order to prevent the heroes from "blood and tears", the Holy Church finally formulated such a medal of glory to protect the "legitimate rights and interests" of those heroes.

Those who hold the "Medal of Honor" not only have the right to add the emblem of the Templar Order on their family emblem, but also have sacred immunity. This means that even if the holder of the Medal of Honor violates the law in a certain country

, that country is not qualified to arrest him and put him in a cell. If they really want to punish the other party, they must collect comprehensive evidence and then submit it to the Holy Church for the Holy Tribunal to entrust the processing.

This is obviously not a good thing for those countries. Although the Holy Tribunal pursues justice and goodness, they will not condone evil. What if the holder of the Medal of Honor draws his sword to help eliminate a certain nobleman's human trafficking?

The evil act of holding cult rituals, even if he is a minister and duke, is still worthy of death in the eyes of the Holy Tribunal. In this way, the punishment will inevitably be in vain.

However, religion should never interfere too much in political affairs. Due to the "gold medal for immunity from death" characteristics of the Medal of Honor, the Templar Order has only managed to produce no more than a hundred medals of honor over the past hundreds of years. Considering that those on the surface are eligible to receive honors

Most humans who have received the medal do not live to be more than 150 years old, and there are only a handful of "honorary nobles" left in the entire Klein continent.

What Zhan didn't know was that there was a debate within the Templar Order about whether to award him the Medal of Honor. After all, he had killed so many soldiers of the Valkyrie Principality before, although

There was a reason for everything, but it can also be seen that this man is cruel and ruthless. Although his family background has been investigated and there is no problem, and he has successfully helped the Ares Temple to get back the statue of the saint, Zhan's cruel and cruel behavior has made many representatives of the Holy Church also feel guilty.

I am quite dissatisfied, thinking that if the Medal of Honor is awarded to Zhan, with his temperament of killing people without saying a word, the Holy Inquisition will probably be very busy in the future. And the status of the Templar Order in the hearts of various countries will also be

Reduced somewhat.

But in the end, the Holy Church decided to award this medal. After investigation, it was found that the Bashanonmens family was indeed recorded by the Holy Church, which means that the other family did respond to the Holy Church during the Second World War.

Go to the Dark Territory to participate in the battle between justice and evil under the call of the Holy Church. Since the facts are conclusive, then the Holy Church cannot be shameless. After all, they were the ones who called on everyone to die in the first place, and they always have to give something in return.

Secondly, there was a reason for Zhan En's killing, and the other party obviously planned to kill him. It is not unreasonable to say that Zhan En was in legitimate defense or over-defense. After all, he did not kill so many people on his own initiative, but on his own initiative.

Those soldiers went to kill him but were killed instead. The Templar Order wouldn't be so stupid as to call on the believers to use their swords and not fight back.

The last reason is that the Templar Church believes that giving Zhan En a Medal of Honor will help him to do good. The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Zhan En was alone before, with no money or power, so his death would not be a big deal.

But now, he has the glory of the Holy Church, an industry, and nostalgia. Now that Zhan has more worries, he should not do anything too extreme. After all, Klein

Over the years in the continent, there have been many heroes who have devoted themselves to darkness for various reasons. Zhan is inherently a bloodthirsty and murderous person. If he is not given something to tie him up, maybe it won’t be long before the Klein Continent will appear again.

A fallen dark hero appears.

Logically speaking, the Holy Church should have held a grand investiture ceremony, but in order to avoid irritating the Valkyrie Principality who was about to go crazy with anger, in the end they did not make too big a fuss, but simply held it in private.

A gift, just deal with it.

But Zhan didn't care about this. He wished that the Templar Order would be as low-key as possible. So after confirming that it was correct, he put away the parchment scrolls and medals in front of him - from this moment on, Zhan had already

He is a decorated noble officially recognized by the Holy Church.

"Congratulations, Ser Jayne."

Seeing Zhan put away the scroll and medal, Rocks smiled warmly and congratulated him respectfully.

Although the knighted nobles of the Holy Church are also called knights, they are different from the ruling class of other countries. Their titles are not dukes and marquises, but are completely replaced by priesthood. Positions in the Holy Church

After that, the decorated nobles belonged to the class of sword-wielding knights. They were on the same level as the bishops and paladin captains of various temples. The only people above them were the archbishops and elders. The reason why they were simply called knights was because they were the same as the dukes and counts in general countries.

Such distinctions only show the independence of the Holy Church itself.

Although the honored nobles at this level cannot enjoy the benefits of land rewards like the national dignitaries, they can form a Holy Knights alone or build a building on an independent land after obtaining the consent of the Holy Church.

Temple, considering the unique closed nature of the Holy Church, this power is much more valuable than buying and selling a piece of land, and the honorary nobility is a hereditary system. Unless future generations do something heinous, otherwise the Holy Church is not very

May take back their power and glory.

In other words, Zhan is now at the same level as the Paladin Captain Rocks in terms of clerical status, so there is nothing wrong with him being so enthusiastic.

"This is also thanks to the Temple of the God of War and the Holy Knight Captain Rox. Without your assistance, I am afraid that the glory of the Bashanonmens family will not be able to see the light of day again."

The so-called acting requires a complete performance. Since the benefits have been obtained, Jenn does not mind continuing to compete for the Oscar for Best Actor here. He stood up and saluted Rocks respectfully, with a slight

He answered with some trembling excitement.

Faced with Zhan's performance, Rocks was obviously quite satisfied, so he didn't say anything more, just nodded with a smile, then turned around and took the sword from the other paladin's hand, and handed it to Zhan.

kindness.

"Without your efforts, everything we have done will be in vain. Sir Zhan, this sword is a collection of the Temple of the God of War. It is called Sea Blue Light. It is rumored that it was forged from deep-sea meteorite iron and bathed in it.

Through the blood of a blue dragon, I hope it can bring you the glory of victory and glory, and take a step closer to the road of justice."

"Thank you."

Faced with the kindness of the Temple of the God of War, Zhan did not hesitate and quickly reached out his hand to take the sword handed over by Rocks. Although after wiping out Menzobraith, Zhan did search for the dark elves.

They have obtained a lot of treasures, but the problem is that the magic power of the dark elves' forged weapons comes entirely from the depths of the rock formations that contain magic power in the Underdark. Once they are brought to the surface, they are simply scrap metal. Although the gray dwarves' forging skills are superb, what they forge is nothing.

They are heavy weapons, and Zhan looks down on things like battle axes and flails. [Cerberus], as Zhan's trump card, cannot be used casually to deal with bandits. Now that the God of War Temple is willing

If he was given a magic weapon as a gift, Zhan En would naturally accept it.

Thinking of this, Zhan retracted his thoughts. He held the hilt of the sword and drew it back. He heard a "swish" sound, and the sword blade shining with cold light was unsheathed, and then the biting cold breath suddenly spread to the surrounding area.

Even the ground and the table were covered with a light layer of white frost. Not only that, when Zhan En looked at it carefully, he realized that the blade of the long sword looked as if it was soaked in water.

It fluttered and swayed, as elusive as a phantom.

This is a pretty good magic weapon.

After carefully staring at the long sword in his hand, Zhan nodded with satisfaction, then he sheathed the sword and hung it back on his waist. Looking at his movements, Rocks also showed a bit of a smile. Then he spoke

asked.

"Sir Jenn, I wonder what you plan to do next? If you are willing to stay in Cardiff for a long time..."

"Although this is a good place, I don't want to be visited again and again by the Valkyrie Principality."

Hearing Rox's solicitation, Zhan shook his head. Of course he understood the thoughts of the paladin captain, but Zhan was unwilling to get involved in this mess. He is the son of the Demon King, and the most important thing is to bring disaster and harm to the surface of the earth.

Death, this is his duty and mission.

"I see."

Rocks was not surprised by Zhan's answer.

"So, when do you plan to leave?"

Hearing this, Zhan reached out his hand and pushed up his glasses, a strange cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I will leave immediately after I finish taking care of some chores."
