In the prayer room of the church, the Chenhui Knights stood in the middle, and the old priest, who was a clergyman, stood in the corner and watched everything silently.

Ezekiel knelt down on one knee against the half-length icon on the wall, and Zhaoming slowly walked behind him, drew his sword, and gently placed it on his shoulder.

As the ceremony officially began, Zhaoming said loudly in an almost questioning tone, "Ezekiel Aidhu Koren, do you know the duties of a knight?" ”

The young man who was kneeling on one knee replied loudly: "Know! I will serve the Goddess with my life until I die! ”

Ezekiel's voice echoed throughout the room, and whether he really thought it that way or not, it made him proud in his heart.

"As a knight, how will you behave?" Zhaoming asked again.

Ezekiel was unequivocal and immediately replied that he would bind himself with a knight's creed.

"What is a knight's creed?"

"Absolute loyalty to the goddess, keeping promises to oaths, never shirking responsibility, never ignoring mistakes, I will be the benchmark for all Enya believers!"

Zhaoming put the sword on his shoulder back into its sheath and let Ezekiel get to his feet.

Ezekiel looked up at the icon on the wall, his heart filled with confidence and glory.

Although the ritual was simple, from this moment on he was a knight, a warrior of the goddess.

Zhaoming took out the cloak he had prepared in advance and handed it to Ezekiel's hand, which was printed with the symbol of the Chenhui Knights, a white star on a black background, symbolizing that he could still hold on to his faith in the face of absolute difficulties.

"Welcome to the Knights of Chenhui, my brother." Zhaoming smiled and said to Ezekiel, who was wearing a cloak.

But before the ceremony was over, Zhaoming took out another coat of arms and handed it to Ezekiel, a symbol of knighthood.

After receiving his coat of arms, Ezekiel asked, "Then should I call you the commander, lord, or eldest brother in the future?" ”

To this question, Zhao Ming said that he was casual. However, he suggested that Ezekiel call himself the head of the regiment in front of outsiders, and that it would be better to call himself the eldest brother in private.

Ezekiel glanced at the old priest standing by the wall, and then said, "Okay, leader. ”

The two men put their arms around each other's shoulders and walked out the door, thanking the priest by the way.

For Zhaoming, who is alone, whether Ezekiel's identity is reliable does not need to be verified for the time being.

In order to face the Pope's emissary at any moment, he must be as powerful as possible.

But fate seemed to play tricks on him, and today not only was Bianca seen a gaffe, but when he walked out of the prayer room, he saw ten tall knights waiting for him.

"This!"

The three people who came out of the confessional room looked at the scene in front of them and were overwhelmed.

Ten heavily armed knights of the Edict stood in the inner hall of the church, and their attire showed that they were from the Sanctuary.

The worshippers who had been praying were long gone, and Sister Bianca did not know where she had gone.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the fact that no one came to report him made Zhaoming confused.

What about the soldiers defending the city? What about the administrative officers? Why didn't he receive a word of the messengers before him?

Before Zhaoming could react, Sevita pulled out a papal edict.

Seeing the fire paint print, the three of them hurriedly knelt down on one knee to listen.

Sevita unfolded the Pope's handscroll and recited it as if it were natural.

"The Knights of Chenhui in the headquarters of the Black Rock Lord Zhaoming have suffered heavy losses, although this seat intends to change the imperial title, but Nian'er and others are loyal and meritorious in battle, and temporarily send the Imperial Knights Saivita and others to check whether you are still capable of taking on the great responsibility - Pope Henry III."

After reading it, Zhaoming got up and took the oracle from Sevita's hand. At this moment, through the gap in the helmet, he saw the long, terrifying scar on the other man's face.

In addition to being shocked, Zhaoming immediately made a plan in his heart - he was a little passive when he was suddenly attacked by the other party, and he had to win back a city!

Saivita, who had finished reading it, wanted to seriously declare her responsibilities to the other party and then start her own work, but she didn't expect Zhaoming to move first!

"Brother!"

Before Sevita could react, Zhaoming hugged him in a bear hug, and then cried uncontrollably.

"Brothers, why are you here? You don't know about me...... Uhh

The Knights of the Imperial Order were distracted by Zhaoming's actions, and Sevita didn't know what to do now.

The teammates around him all watched him and Zhaoming hug each other tightly, both knights, and they couldn't chill people's hearts.

So, although he didn't know what was going on, Sevita could only hug Zhaoming as well.

Immediately afterwards, Zhaoming seemed to have been wronged by the heavens, and the knights poured out the tragedy of the Knights, as well as his own painful experience when he first arrived in Black Rock.

From the Chenhui Knights being wiped out in order to protect the people, to being targeted everywhere alone...... It's all about it.

At this moment, Zhaoming's performance is not at all nervous to meet the investigation, but more like a drifter who has been separated from his brothers for a long time and finally reunited.

Coupled with those touching stories, the knights under Sevita's command wept for the Chenhui Knights, and Sevita couldn't talk about the investigation for a while.

When everyone's mood finally stabilized, Sevita was about to reiterate the purpose of his trip, but was interrupted by Zhaoming again.

"I look forward to the stars and the moon, but I will wait for you to come, don't say more, go to my house for a small gathering first."

Sevita, who had been interrupted many times, had a surge of anger in his heart, but the atmosphere was set to this point, and he didn't say much.

As he spoke, Zhao Ming dragged them back to his house, ordering Ezekiel to go back first and let Barnet, the cook, prepare a feast for them.

"Yes, Captain!" Ezekiel answered and quickly left the group first.

Hearing Ezekiel's "Captain", Sevita was a little surprised—wasn't Zhaoming the only one left in the Chenhui Knights? The servant army should not call Zhaoming the commander.

It's no wonder that they were so focused on Zhaoming that they only regarded Ezekiel as a servant, and didn't notice the cloak and coat of arms on his body at all.

After Zhaoming's introduction, they reacted, and now the Chenhui Knights are not the only one seedling.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhaoming, the rebuilding of the Knights is just around the corner!" An edict knight said.

Immediately afterwards, everyone echoed and said congratulations, and Zhaoming was also very grateful to them for being like this. After all, this means that the Chenhui Knights will not be declared disbanded.

In the crowd, only Sevita did not make a statement.

When they walked out of the church and on the road, he, as the captain, did not stand alongside Zhaoming, but rode alone at the end of the line.

He had always had a hidden concern in his mind, and that was what the Pope had said when he summoned him alone before his departure.
