Chapter 833: The Parting of That Year
Knight Captain Green Tiree of the Dawn Sect has always been a good person, based on the following:
First of all, he is still single.
Then, as the saying goes, the face comes from the heart. With a golden-proportion Chinese character face, he is not only civilized and polite, but also has a loyal, kind-hearted and rule-abiding personality. His daily behavior can be described as strict. He is self-disciplined and lenient towards others. Although he occasionally leaves people with the impression of being 'stubborn' and 'stereotyped', he is still the kind of knight among knights. In Xia Lian's words, Green is basically not like the other one. Old Tom, the ascetic who came out to meet others, was the only good comrade who raised the overall moral integrity of the Dawn Sect.
Then he often used various excuses to send Greene to any place other than the City of Light on business. In short, he was out of sight and out of mind.
For example, almost half a year ago, His Highness Xia Lian was afraid that Green, who looked very serious most of the time, would frighten the child (Yu Chen, who had just become a saint), so she found any reason to send him to the [Zhu] in the south of the sanctuary. Guangcheng], the reason is that I heard from XXX that the greening there is not very good. After all, it is an area where most people believe in our goddess of dawn. Little Green, please go over there and settle the matter for me.
Then Knight Commander Green Tyree went to the Light Chaser City to plant trees alone.
Due to some subtle reasons, well, it’s actually seniority, His Highness Xia Lian has absolute authority among the mainstays of the Dawn Sect of this generation, especially the Green Knight Commander. He was a pickpocket and was mentored by his mentor at the age of seven and a half. , the former Dawn Sect Knight Commander Hans Anderson, known as [Dawn Slayer], picked it up, beat him half to death and sent him back to the Capital of Light to become a knight apprentice.
And Green Tiree was educated and regarded as his lifelong idol by Knight Commander Anderson. However, he was whipped with a broom by His Highness Xia Lian when he was a child. In Green’s impression, his white-haired Every time the instructor with a wrinkled face met the "big sister with a sweet smile", he would follow her with a fawning expression. Sitting in a wheelchair, the teacher's wife, who was obviously not as big as her mentor but looked older than her, would call her "Ajie" one after another every time she saw her.
Although he knew that the age of the elves could not be judged by their appearance, and he also knew that the big sister with a sweet smile would never be much younger than his mentor, the young Green still felt a little awkward.
This awkwardness lasted until Green's third year as a knight's apprentice, two months before his eleventh birthday.
The 531st Knight Commander of the Dawn Sect, [Dawn Slash] Hans Anderson passed away due to illness at the age of eighty-three.
As Anderson's only apprentice, when his master's wife passed away two years ago, Glynn Tiree, who was only ten years old at the time, single-handedly organized the funeral for Anderson as his godson. Although Anderson She had already stated in her will that she did not want the sect to go to war over her death, nor did she want a grand burial. However, Saint Xia Lian still took it upon herself to close the Dawn Cathedral for a whole day, and by the way, she took her own decision to close it for a whole day. Half a day to the large churches of other sects.
Because Hans Anderson was a well-connected and good man during his lifetime, and as the chief knight of the Dawn Sect, other sects also gave him face. There was no conflict with Lian, and even spontaneously organized a memorial.
Green Tiree stayed alone in a small church in a certain outer city, staying with Anderson's body for a whole day.
Devotees are not allowed to be buried on the first day of their sleep, and are guarded by the goddess for a whole day. This is a rule passed down by the Dawn Sect a long time ago.
On this day, it stands to reason that except for relatives of the deceased or godsons like Green, no one else is allowed to appear in such a place, including the Pope.
However, that day, Green saw two uninvited guests in the church that had been cleared out in advance, and there were three hundred high-level paladins outside, guarded by six knight captains.
One person he knew was the elf sister with a beautiful smile. Of course, at that time, Green already knew that the other person was the saintly lady of his sect, Xia Lian Zhuye.
One he didn't recognize. He was a fairly energetic old man with a white beard wearing a dusty priest's robe.
But even though Green didn't know the latter, he still guessed the other person's identity.
The 573rd Pope of the Dawn Sect—St. Luke Tephiro.
Although Greene, who was just a trainee knight, was not qualified to enter the Thousand Lights Dome at that time, had not seen the portrait of the ancestral pope, and did not know what kind of fortress this white-bearded old man was, he The identity of Luke Tefero was still determined.
Because it was mentioned in the penultimate line of the letter his mentor left him:
[One more thing, little Green, although you are now a pious (even (Already a more devout believer than me), but if on the day of my death (or the next day) two people ignore the canon rules and come to see me without permission, you should be the only one with me at that time, you will not be able to do anything. Don't stop them.
The first one is Sister Xia Lian. I mentioned it when I had tea with her last month. I hope she can come to me and talk to me on this day (don’t get me wrong, there is a reason for this, goddess) Your Majesty, my feelings for your wife are astonishing!)
The second one should be an old man about the same age as me. Although he is not as handsome as me (just think of him as not as handsome as me), he is very good at taking care of himself. His name is Luke. Shameless Tifilo, the ancestral pope of our Dawn Sect (the only one who is not dead), is one of my few old friends.
A long time ago, I made an agreement with Tyfilo that if either of us returns to the embrace of the goddess first (he uttered wild words at the time that the goddess would not embrace us), then the other person will No matter where you are or what you are doing, even if you are fighting the Pope of the Dark Night Sect, you must come back to see that bastard before he is buried.
Oh, actually this is a trap set by your teacher and me, because I know that no matter how lucky I am, I will never be able to survive that bastard who has almost touched that field. Oh, forget it, I will follow you. Not that much.
In short, I knew at that time that I could not survive him, and I also knew that he would leave here soon, so I deliberately made an appointment with him to give him an excuse to return to the City of Light.
I don’t know if Tiphilo noticed my little thoughts at the time. He probably guessed it, but he still readily agreed to the agreement. As I expected, he left a few years later and never returned. Never came back.
I have always felt that he is a fragile guy, although not many people can find this.
Hehe, people like to nag when they are old, but I don’t think you will blame me, right?
Now, I hope you will do one thing for me in the end. Well, actually, it’s not really for me.
If I guessed correctly, when that day comes, that guy Tifilo will come to me first, while Xia Lian will come later, because she will probably go to work on some unimportant matters. Things like forcing several other sects to close their doors for me for a long time or something.
If this is the case, dear little Green, I hope you can drag Tiphilo's footsteps appropriately, because we know each other too well and there is really nothing to say, so I am afraid he will leave soon. If you can It would be best to keep him for just a moment and a half longer.
This may be the last thing I can do. 】
In this way, although Green did not understand why Anderson asked him to do this at the time, he still tried his best to fulfill his mentor’s last wish.
“Hey, what’s going on here? And a little baby?”
The old man who quietly appeared next to Hans Anderson did not immediately greet his old friend in front of him, but smiled and said to Green who was standing quietly beside him. Terry blinked and smiled narrowly: "I thought that after Della left, he would be alone until his death."
The apprentice knight, who was a pickpocket three years ago, stood up and said to Tiffero in an unassuming manner: "My name is Green Tyree. I am Hans Anderson's knight apprentice and also his godson."
< br>“Illegitimate child?”
Luke Tefero blinked and looked at Green with interest: "You look nothing like him. Anderson was much uglier than you when he was his age."
"He is the godson, Your Excellency."
Smart mind The sharp Green did not directly identify Tifilo because he was worried that the other party would leave early without knowing that he had expected it, so he just stated in a calm tone: "Teacher Anderson and I are not related by blood. It was only a few years ago that he was raised from the poor He's just a thief picked up from the cave." Luke Tifilo raised his eyebrows and did not show any dissatisfaction with the word 'thief'. He just continued to ask kindly: "So he has made you convert to the goddess. Has your honor fallen?”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Green, who was wearing casual clothes, nodded and took out a polished badge: "I am now a trainee paladin. "
"Well, the Paladin doesn't have a more promising future than the thief."
Luke Tifilo glanced at Anderson's body with a half-smile, and then. Turning his attention to Green again: "Has anyone told you, child, that you are actually more suitable to be a priest than a Paladin."
Green nodded: "Yes."
The previous pope looked at him with interest, his tone full of curiosity: "Who has such good vision?"
"Mr. Anderson "
While counting the time in his heart, Green replied calmly at a relatively slow speed: "He said that my physique is average, but I have a high understanding of magic. "
Luke Tefero smacked his lips and stared at Green with his eyes raised: "Then he trained you into a knight?"
"I hope to become a knight."
Green clenched the apprentice knight badge in his hand, smiled proudly, and then said unhurriedly: "A knight like Mr. Anderson."
“Like him?”
Tifilo pointed at Hans Anderson’s body unceremoniously, very He was rude and exclaimed in exaggeration, and then his expression suddenly became serious before Green frowned, and he sighed softly: "Although it is a bit stupid, it is indeed a good reason. After all, although Hans Anderson is a bastard, he is also a bastard." A bastard who deserves to be respected by everyone."
Green was stunned for a moment and couldn't finish his words.
Fortunately, Tifilo had no intention of leaving immediately. He just calmly looked down at the former knight commander who was often bullied by him a long time ago, and who started to stand behind him and bully others a long time ago. He was one of his few friends. , smiled faintly: "You have picked up a good boy."
Anderson, whose heart had stopped beating long ago, naturally would not answer him.
Tiphilo didn't pay attention, and just continued: "You are only luckier than me. You can meet Della who is in love with you, and you can also pick up this kid. , but you are just luckier than me.”
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Green felt that Anderson’s slightly stiff expression seemed to soften under the soft halo emanating from the goddess statue. Some.
Then, there was a long silence
Green felt that perhaps, as Anderson told him in the letter, he was so familiar with His Majesty Luke Tiffero that he had nothing to say even in this situation.
This is not a good signal, because His Majesty Tiphilo, who fell into silence, may leave at any time, and he is obviously unable to stop him
So, Green decided to stop him before he left. , broke the silence first.
"This is your Excellency."
Green cleared his throat, then raised his hand and pointed down after Tifero turned his face to him: "Can you tell me who you are? Although You don’t look like Mr. Anderson’s godfather or godson, but the teacher has never mentioned his other relatives to me.”
Tifilo smiled: "Can't you come if you are not a relative?"
"In principle, it is not possible."
Green gave a meticulous answer, and then went to the church. He glanced outside the gate: "There are our most elite knights from the Dawn Sect outside. There are still six knights."
"Well, there are still six knights guarding there."
Tifiro interrupted Green's explanation and said with a sly smile: "No. No, my name is Garu Anderson, and I am this guy’s second cousin.”
Green felt that his expression must have been distorted at that time.
Then
"Haha, just kidding."
The previous pope looked at Green with his clear eyes that were completely different from what an old man could have, and the corners of his mouth were raised. A slight arc: "Luke Tefero greets you, smart little knight."
"You are."
"Stop pretending, I was much more professional than you when I pretended to be cute in the nunnery."
"."
"Then, I think I should go, young man, let's go "Yes?"
Luke Tiffero did not continue speaking, but replaced the second half of his sentence with a long 'oh'.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Tephiro."
Pulling out the cross sword from behind, which was not much shorter than himself, the ten-year-old Green Tyree gritted his teeth
"Please, stay."
