Chapter 304 Promotion Ceremony
Two pieces of golden equipment, one priced at 100,000 and one priced at 80,000 atonement points.
While buying new equipment, Malu also heard about something.
Last time, in order to prove that Shrike was dead, he and Levi brought back her damaged staff, which aroused great interest among the researchers of the Weapons and Equipment Department.
The equipment used by the fallen witches usually comes from the witches they killed, or is defective products that flowed out of the Temple City through some unspeakable channels.
In other words, they don't know how to make equipment themselves.
However, the weapons and equipment department did not find any relevant information about Shrike's staff in the weapons arsenal.
——This is a brand new weapon.
The higher-ups of the church attach great importance to this, because it means that the Witch Alliance has probably mastered the manufacturing process of weapons and equipment.
And after research by the weapons and equipment department, it was found that the manufacturing level of this staff was even higher than that of the church.
This discovery also caused an uproar in the weapons and equipment department.
The smartest brains in the entire Temple City are gathered here, and the church continuously provides money, materials and equipment. As a result, their research on witch equipment lags behind those precarious traitors outside the city.
This was unacceptable to them under any circumstances, so almost all researchers suspended their work during this period and began to devote themselves to the detection and analysis of this staff.
The more they studied it, the more they were shocked. The complexity and advanced level of this weapon far exceeded their imagination.
It is not as powerful as the creations of this era. Fortunately, Shrike was killed by the missile before she could use it. Otherwise, even someone as strong as Levi might not be able to defeat her.
This description reminded Malu of the small blue electric drill on his body.
Could it be that the Shrike also found the relics left by the pointed hat like him?
But Shrike does not have a traveler's bracelet like him, which can read the messages left by Pointed Hat hundreds of years ago.
And the guy with the pointed hat is just a doctoral student, not an intelligence agent. It is normal to have a backup point to store data and some spares, but it is impossible to have several safe houses. , if he really had this kind of vigilance, he wouldn't have been tricked so badly by his good friends.
And Malu was certain that no one had entered the secret backup point he discovered before.
Where did the relics in the Shrike's hands come from?
Ma Lu had some guesses about this, but he didn't want to wade into this muddy water too much. He went to the weapons and equipment department to get new armor. After buying new equipment, he went to the auditorium on the 6th floor.
The male monk who calls himself the herald is already waiting for him here.
The master's promotion ceremony was not complicated. After all the senior members of the Holy Knights arrived, someone first read out Malu's achievements as a knight.
However, because he joined the Holy Knights for a short time, his achievements are obviously weak compared to the other 12 masters in the Holy Knights.
Li Wei was also aware of this, so he specifically gave more credit to Malu for killing the Shrike. In his statement to the church, Malu participated in the battle with the Shrike and played a role in it. important role.
In addition, not long ago, Malu killed a group of fallen witches hiding in the Red Rock Grand Canyon. In terms of achievements, he was just so-so.
Afterwards, Martin, the leader of the Holy Knights, came forward and personally awarded Malu the Master Medal and the Long Sword.
This was the first time that Malu met the nominal leader of the Holy Knights. Martin is very old, he looks to be at least seventy years old, with white hair and deep wrinkles on his face. However, he stands very straight, speaks clearly when speaking, and there is no slowness in his movements.
For an old man, he is undoubtedly still in good health.
However, as the leader of the Holy Knights, health alone is obviously not enough. Ma Lu even heard rumors that he was no longer able to wear his knight armor, and he had not been there for more than twenty years. On the front line, even the daily affairs of the Knights have been left to others to take care of in recent years.
No wonder Li Wei would have the ambition to replace him.
In addition to Li Wei, the Holy Knights also have a deputy leader who is more than ten years younger than Martin, but is still in his prime. Unfortunately, he has health problems and has been busy most of the years. To cure diseases.
Therefore, Levi became the actual person in charge of the Holy Knights.
Martin handed the sword to Malu's hand, then reached out and patted Malu on the shoulder, smiling.
"Congratulations on your promotion to master, Knight of Westwood. I hope you can continue to serve the church and the Holy Knights in the future. May the glory of the Lord of Order always shine on you."
Ma Lu doesn't know Whether it was his own imagination, Martin seemed to have placed a special emphasis on the church and the Holy Knights.
He took the sword, nodded and said, "I will."
Afterwards, Malu also took an oath, and the other 12 masters also stepped forward to bless him. Accept him into the Round Table.
After all this hard work, Malu finally completed the entire process of the promotion ceremony and officially became the master of the Holy Knights.
When the ceremony was over, Martin came to him immediately and enthusiastically invited him to the office on the 33rd floor, saying that he would discuss the next development of the Knights with him.
However, he was politely rejected by Ma Lu. Afterwards, Martin saw Ma Lu walking towards Li Wei in front of him, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.
On the contrary, Li Wei was quite satisfied with Ma Lu's attitude.
"Very good. It seems that after becoming a master, your head is still clear, which is rare. Remember, I can make you a master, but I can also deprive you of your identity."
After a pause, his tone slowed down a little, "Since you are already a master, don't just be busy doing tasks, but also participate in the management of the Knights. I have already arranged your next steps for you. The specific positions will be announced after a while.
"But don't worry. Before that, you should relax first. By the way, there will be a celebration in the city next week to celebrate the completion of the Temple City. On the 230th anniversary, the church will temporarily lift prohibition on alcohol on that day, and maybe we can have a drink then. ”
Unlike Martin, Levi did not use the tone of discussion. The deputy leader of the Holy Knights showed a more powerful aura than the nominal first leader of the Holy Knights. , as if everything is under his control, no one can question it.
With the merit of killing the Shrike, Levi's reputation in the Holy Knights has now reached its peak, completely overwhelming Martin. br>
Ma Lu speculated that he should also be ready to seize power. The conflict between him and Martin has now been completely made public. According to Malu's observation, most of the 12 masters other than him have also made their choices. , there are obviously more people supporting Levi
Maybe within a few months things will really change for the Holy Knights.
But this has little to do with Malu. He, the master, picked it up for nothing. It doesn’t matter whether he takes it or not. The worst result is just to throw it away again.
