Chapter 465 A Person of Noble Status
"It's right here. A great magician is attacking us. We almost died on the city wall just now. We risked our lives to come out and tell you the news!"
"Really? But you two don't seem to have any external injuries. And would a powerful enemy of the Great Magician class really let two mid-level knights come out to tip off the enemy?"
"Internal injuries! Both of us have suffered extremely serious internal injuries! We may not live for many days. Only by being awarded a first-class merit can we recover quickly..."
Such an abstract conversation made Bai Hao couldn't help but twitch his lips. The high-level priests around him were all powerful high-level wizards. Naturally, they also noticed the murderous atmosphere under the city wall, so they immediately sent several priests to deal with this misunderstanding.
Almost all those who were able to rush to the city wall in the first place were prominent priests in Orleans, and the commander of the knight garrison in the outer city below immediately recognized the priests who came to explain. After just a few simple exchanges, the hundreds of knights who were in neat formation under the city wall retreated in an orderly manner.
"Hahaha, it's all misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"
A fat and big-eared knight commander slowly flew to the top of the city wall with two knights. With just a casual glance, he recognized the three Bright Moon Guard Archbishops who exuded terrifying magical pressure, and he also noticed Bai Hao who was surrounded by the crowd.
After a flash of thought, the Knight Commander realized who he should talk to first, so he immediately flew to Bai Hao with Ivern and Bruce, and then threw them down roughly, explaining the whole story to Bai Hao.
"Oh, it's okay. The two guards were just doing their duty. Especially the guard named Bruce. He did the right thing. Facing an enemy much stronger than himself, it was the right decision to flee and report immediately. You should commend them for their merits."
Bai Hao's tolerant words brought tears to the eyes of Bruce and Ivern, who were kneeling on the ground. They really didn't expect that this noble silver-haired boy would speak for them, and they thanked Bai Hao excitedly.
The Knight Commander at the side also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. As early as at the foot of the city wall, he had heard from several high-ranking priests who came to explain that the spatial fluctuations generated on the city wall were caused by the secret teleportation method of their sect, and that an important figure of the sect had been teleported over tonight.
When the Knight Commander came up, he was worried that it would be difficult to deal with this important person if he had a bad temper. Fortunately, influenced by the doctrine, most of the Bright Moon Cult members are relatively gentle and friendly, especially the saints of the sect, who are pure and kind people from the inside out.
Soon, Bai Hao left the city wall with dozens of high-level priests of Bright Moon under the protection of three archpriests. The Knight Commander tactfully did not follow to see them off, but stayed on the city wall and watched Bai Hao and the others leave.
"Fortunately, they are people from the Cult of the Moon Goddess. If it were those noble lords in the inner city, you two would be in big trouble today!" The Knight Commander said angrily as he looked at Ivern and Bruce beside him.
Ivern didn't dare to speak after hearing the Knight Commander's reprimand. He just stood there straight. Bruce said unconvincedly, "What noble lord dares to use teleportation magic on the city wall? According to the laws of the Omo Empire, they are the ones who should be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the Knight Commander was immediately furious. He glared at Bruce and shook his head, saying, "What an idiot! You don't really think that those nobles are all reasonable and kind people like the Bright Moon Cult members. There were no other witnesses here just now. Do you think the judge will believe them or you?"
"Of course it's a letter..." Bruce was suddenly speechless halfway through his sentence, because he suddenly remembered that the so-called judge seemed to be a noble lord, and people of the same class would always protect each other unconsciously, just like him and Ivern.
"Hmph, it's good that you know. I will give you two a day off tomorrow, but don't think about going out to play. Go to the Bright Moon Goddess Church to worship honestly. Remember to be pious and give some gift money."
Bruce was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly understood the Knight Commander's intention. Although the noble silver-haired young man had just forgiven their recklessness, some symbolic things still had to be done.
To work and live in Orleans, you must be good at dealing with people, and social skills are a compulsory course for everyone.
The Knight Commander himself had climbed up step by step from a low-ranking city guard. Seeing Bruce was like seeing his past self, young, reckless, and always thinking about accumulating military merits. Therefore, he did not want to see Bruce get into trouble and would subconsciously take care of him.
After instructing the two of them on some precautions, the Knight Commander used his flying skills to return to his residence. During the flight, he could not help but look towards the church, the headquarters of the Moon Goddess Sect, in the eastern suburbs of Orleans, wondering who the silver-haired boy was.
Anyone who can become the Knight Commander of Orleans, whether in the inner city or the outer city, must be at least at the level of a great magician. The magical pressure emanating from the three burly women next to the silver-haired boy was so terrifying that even the Knight Commander could not help but tremble.
"An elementalist, definitely an elementalist. That boy can actually be protected by three elementals of the Moon Goddess Sect. It's really..." The Knight Commander muttered to himself in the air, and slapped his head suddenly and said, "Oh, right, I feel like I've seen that silver-haired boy somewhere before. He looks familiar..."
Not long after, the Knight Commander returned to his station, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen Bai Hao. Suddenly, a nearly ten-meter-tall statue of the Goddess of the Bright Moon in front of the station caught his attention.
Statues like this, which are more than ten meters high, are scattered throughout the important streets, squares and landmark buildings in Orleans. Some say that this is a special shrine connected to the earth veins, others say it is just a religious decoration, and some even think that this is the center of the magic array arranged by the Moon Goddess sect.
But tens of thousands of years have passed, and no one has dared to overthrow or move these statues of the Moon Goddess. Even when dynasties and kingdoms changed, no reckless king or emperor dared to touch these statues.
In addition to the possibility of suffering terrible divine punishment, it is 100% certain that the followers of the Bright Moon Goddess sect will come and fight. Those usually gentle and kind priests can directly destroy any force once they go crazy.
"Yes, no wonder he looks so familiar. That boy really looks like Lady Bright Moon Goddess...hiss!" The Knight Commander took a deep breath and shook his head quickly. Then he exclaimed, "I'll take a day off tomorrow too. I want to go to church to worship!"
