() It should be the former commander of the Knights Templar, the man corrected

No, William is quite sure that he is the current commander of the Templar Order

Is that so, the man seemed a little surprised, and I was a little flattered to think that the Pope cared so much

Milorus was a little confused: William, you said he was......

That's right, Milorus, haven't you always wondered why the Templar Order only had a deputy commander and no official commander, and this all happened before you joined the Templar Order, although you have never met this lord, but - William said to Milores that he is indeed the immediate boss of the two of us, and also one of the twelve paladins of the Papal Dominion, Lord Putnain McMahon, Milorus, you can't be so rude to the commander, just say that William knelt down on one knee with the man and gave a very formal knightly salute

Seeing William's move, Milorus seemed a little at a loss, but he still saluted the man with William

When William and Milorus saw the two superiors and hurriedly saluted the man who was called the commander

Owen saw that scene and said in disbelief: Uncle Merkne...... You turned out to be a knight

Yes, this person is none other than Uncle Mercone, the country doctor that Owen usually admires the most, but who would have imagined that this middle-aged man with his poor appearance would actually be the handsome and elegant commander of the Templar Order twelve years ago, Paladin Patten McMahon nicknamed the Rose Blade, and the twelve years have indeed changed many things

I'm sorry, Uncle Owen Merkne, little Owen, shouldn't it be the paladin Patnin who threw an apologetic look at the little boy, I have been hiding my identity right next to you

Puternin walked slowly to the burning village and sighed: what a good village, what a kind village...... Paternin stood with his hands in his hands, his back to the two half-kneeling paladins, and spoke in a look that Owen had never seen before: You are little William, I haven't seen you for twelve years, the hairy boy of the year has grown up and become a paladin

Thank you, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, William said very respectfully

These four words make me feel very far away, and I still prefer what you used to call me

Yes, big brother

William Pattening closed his eyes, took a long breath, you and your companions have done a good job, you have killed this bandit leader, avenged the villagers here, and now you can return to Holy Pope Island to resume your life

Wait a minute, Milorus is still on his knees, and since you are the commander of the Templar Order and a paladin, we are now carrying out another order from His Holiness the Pope, and I ask you to be sure to help

No, Uncle Mercone, you can't help them get Susan, and Owen, who heard their conversation and felt bad, shouted at Uncle Mercone, whom he usually respected the most

Putnnin replied lightly: Little Owen, when did your Uncle Mercone disappoint you, don't worry, with me here, no one can take your little girl

Really, Owen received Puternin's promise, and his high heart was suddenly relaxed, and John felt a little happy in disbelief, but William was a little anxious when he heard what Puternin said to the child: Big brother, this is a task arranged by His Majesty the Pope, and it must not be violated, ah, as the commander of the Templar Order, you should lead by example, and obey His Majesty's orders absolutely and unconditionally, this is what a paladin should be......

Are you teaching me a lesson, William Petternin Jr. interrupted William's words with a wave of his hand, you have lost yourself, sometimes you should think about the reason why you obey the Pope, does what the old guy said really have to be right, you should use your heart and eyes to determine the secret hidden behind the Pope, and the truth that has been hidden by the Central Church

Presumptuous, before William could answer, Milorus had already stood up and roared at his boss who suddenly appeared, enough for Puternin, even if you were once the commander of the Templar Order appointed by the Pope, but just now your disrespectful remarks to His Majesty the Pope are already a capital offense, are you really not afraid of being judged a traitor by the Inquisition?

The word traitor seems to be a full twelve years late, and in the face of Milores' rage, Puternin replied lightly: I have already died once, so don't threaten me with death, intimidation is the lowest means

Milorus was irritated by Puternin's nonchalant tone, and his two broad hands clenched the hilts of the two-handed greatsword in a posture ready for battle, and issued an ultimatum to Paxingin: Ask you again if you will hand over the girl

At this time, in the meditation room of the Papal Palace on St. Papal Island, Pope Frio I was conducting daily meditations, which were said to be the only way for the Pope to communicate with the God of Light, but at this time the Pope's mind entered a different state

The Olopa Sea is a sea area surrounded by continents, which is sandwiched between the glorious continents, The three continents of the Galaxy Continent and the Morun Continent are connected to the outer ocean by only three straits, and St. Pope's Island is right in the middle of the Olopa Sea, if the coastline of the three continents facing the outer ocean side is connected, then the entire Olopa region is like a huge circle, and St. Pope Island is the center of this circle, and it is precisely because the geographical location of this island has such an important symbolic meaning that it was chosen as the location of the Central Church at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Light Church, and gave this island its current name

Legend has it that there was an ancient prehistoric civilization that existed before the current generation of civilization, when the ancient Olopa continent was still intact and was not divided into three as it is now, and the current St. Pope Island is the location of the highest peak of the central mountain range of the ancient Olopa continent, this statement cannot be confirmed, even the longest-lived dragons in the Olopa region did not have dragons that came back from that era, and people can only look for a few words from the wild history and some ruins, but one thing is true, that is, the terrain of the entire Holy Pope Island is cone-shaped, high in the middle and low in all sides, which is very consistent with the record that St. Pope Island was once a high mountain...... None of this is a matter for theologians to discuss, but they simply built the Papal Palace on the highest mountain in the middle of the island to demonstrate the orthodoxy and oneness of the Holy Light Church and the authority and supremacy of the Pope

But is the Pope really noble, maybe he has a lot of secrets that no one knows

You're back, Putnain, and in the lobby of the Pope's Palace, the Pope held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the young paladins who had returned triumphantly from the Demon Continent

My mission had failed, it had been a complete failure, and His Holiness the Pope fell on one knee and his words caused an uproar among the priests, priests, and knights who were in the hall at the time

However, what the Pope said next was even more surprising: No, you have completed the mission, and Puternin has completed the task despite some flaws, so you should fulfill the agreement made in advance and give you the position of Commander of the Templar Order

Wow, the commander of the Knights Templar, the leader of the twelve paladins, the twenty-four praying knights, the thirty-six blessed knights, and the supreme power of the four legions under the Templar Order, in the Holy Light Cult, under the Pope, and sharing the supreme glory of ten thousand people with the head of the Inquisition, the people around him cast eyes full of emotions on this young man under the age of 26, with approval, blessings, envy, jealousy, doubts, and ......

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the young man was not as ecstatic as everyone thought, and he raised his head, and his face was full of solemnity instead of a trace of joy

His Majesty the Pope, I went to the Demon Continent this time, and I had a lot of confusion in my heart, but instead of thanking the Pope, the young man asked an irrelevant question

Oh, confused, Puttening's unusual behavior made the Pope feel some ominous signs, of course, no one can see the change in the Pope's expression through the silver mask, you might as well tell the confusion in your heart, I pray to the Almighty God of Light to give the truth, only the truth can dispel your confusion

But my confusion comes from the truth

Why do you say this, not only the Pope wants to know the answer, but also the people around him are curious

There is a magic item on the Demon Continent that allows people to see the truth about some things that have happened before, and although he couldn't see the expression of the Pope's face hidden behind the mask, he could see a trace of imperceptible tremor from the Pope's movements, and I saw the truth about something that happened in the back garden of McMahon's house 25 years ago, and of course, the truth about the death of my parents, Mr. and Mrs. McMahon, who raised me, overnight

silent

The long silence passed second by second, and every second seemed like a long time, and there was an oppressive air in the air, which everyone present could feel

Is there anything else, and finally the Pope broke this terrible silence

There is Puternin said coldly about the plan

What did you say

Plan a plan that has been secretly prepared for centuries

Hearing Putnain's words made the Pope thunder like five thunderbolts, and he thanked the popes for the silver mask he wore and didn't let the others present see his collapse

Putnain, you haven't rested all the way, and you rushed back from the Demon Continent after a tiring journey, and now you should be very tired, the Pope waved his hand weakly, go back to rest, and the ordination ceremony will be held in the afternoon

Pope Frio I opened his eyes suddenly, and through the silver mask, he saw that the meditation hall was empty, and the young paladin, half-kneeling in front of him, disappeared from the priests, priests, and knights standing around him, and he was the only one in the large meditation hall, and the pope's breath was rapid, and what happened that morning made him feel fear for the first time in his life, and this fear tormented him regularly for the next twelve years

Putnain, where have you been all these twelve years, have you really abandoned me, and the only thing the Pope remembers in his heart is the young man, who is not only the key to completing the plan, but more importantly......

William, what are you doing, do you even want to rebel, Milorus glared angrily at William, who was holding his two-handed greatsword with a sword and a round shield

No, Milorus, I'm not rebelling, I'm not obstructing you, but Brother Paternin, please leave it to me to solve it, William raised his eyebrows and said to Milorus

You can do it yourself, and I heard William say this, and Milorus hung the sword back behind his back, but please focus on the task

Brother Puternin, since I was a child, you have always been my most admired image, at that time, what I want to see most every day is that you ride on Philip, dancing with a sword, and you are an insurmountable peak in my heart at that time, William turned to Paternin and said, "You have been my goal for so many years, I have always wanted to be a strong man like you, and now I have finally achieved my goal, I am now a paladin like you", while saying William, he took off his cloak and paladin armor

Now I'm aiming for another goal, which is to surpass you, my idol from my youth, Brother Puternin said that William's armor had all been taken off, except for a blue shirt, and he threw a white glove in front of Paternin, let me determine if I have surpassed you

Okay, I'll accept your challenge, Puternin picks up a long sword from next to the corpse of a robber, and if you lose, give up the hunt for the little girl and lead your men back

I accept that William will lift the sword and the round shield, and if the result is the opposite, please ask Brother Puternin not to meddle in this matter again

Two paladins without armor looked at each other, and a fierce battle was about to begin.......
