Having heard Xingyu’s question, Long Haochen couldn’t help but be taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head blankly.

A rare smile appeared on Xingyu’s face, “You are very honest, and you didn’t just give a random answer to brush me off. Regarding this question, not only you but even the higher-ups of the Knight Temple would find it difficult to answer. It is precisely because of this question that, after truly becoming a knight, the Knight Temple is divided into two branches: the Retribution Knights and the Guardian Knights.”

“Retribution Knights are knights who focus on attack, wielding two-handed weapons, coordinated with mounts and offensive sacred arts. Their single-target combat power is extremely strong. On the front lines, their strength exceeds that of warriors and assassins of the same level.”

“Guardian Knights focus on defense, wielding a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other. They are the core of the team, skilled in various auxiliary and healing sacred arts. Perhaps their single-target combat power is weaker than that of Retribution Knights, but in team battles, the role of Guardian Knights is far greater than that of Retribution Knights.”

At this point, Xingyu paused slightly before looking at Long Haochen and asking, “In our Knight Temple, do you think there are more Guardian Knights or Retribution Knights?”

Long Haochen thought for a while and said, “There should be more Retribution Knights. You said that Retribution Knights have stronger combat power.”

Xingyu shook his head and said, “On the contrary, the ratio of Guardian Knights to Retribution Knights in our Knight Temple is ten to one.”

“Ah? That’s a big difference? Why?” Long Haochen asked puzzled.

Xingyu said, “Because we are the Temple Alliance. As the leader of the Temple Alliance’s six great temples, our Knight Temple cannot only consider our individual combat power. We must also consider our partners. The reason there are six great temples is because these six professions combined together can unleash the greatest combat power. As the core of the team, a knight is not only skilled in both magic and martial arts, but also in both offense and defense, while also protecting their partners. Therefore, the role of Guardian Knights is much greater than that of Retribution Knights.”

Long Haochen understood a little, “Teacher, should I become a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight in the future?”

Xingyu said faintly, “Only you can make the right choice for yourself. I can’t help you in this matter. Given your personality, you may be more suited to being a Guardian Knight, but I am a Retribution Knight. Most of what I can teach you are the abilities and skills possessed by Retribution Knights.”

“Teacher, I…”

“Don’t rush to answer me.” Long Haochen was about to say something, but Xingyu interrupted him, “You have one year to think about it. Tell me your answer in a year.”

“Yes.”

One year later. Haoyue City.

Walking on the wide streets of Haoyue City, Long Haochen’s eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.

What a big city! The wide streets were at least five zhang wide (approximately 16.4 meters), with shops lined up on both sides, bustling with traffic and noisy sounds rising and falling. The bustling crowds were a world apart from Odin Town.

In the southeast of the Temple Alliance, Haoyue City is a medium-sized city. But even this level of city was the first time Long Haochen, who had lived in Odin Town since childhood, had ever seen.

Long Haochen was very curious about Haoyue City, and the people on the road were also curious about him. He wore simple and plain clothes, but had a delicate face like a porcelain doll. A year later, Long Haochen’s face no longer had an unhealthy color, and he had grown taller. Although he still looked like a child, he gave people a sense of slenderness.

The most surprising thing was that behind this beautiful young man were two long swords crossed. Those were clearly two fine iron swords, more than three chi long (approximately 1 meter), at least three cun wide (approximately 10 centimeters), and at least one cun thick (approximately 3.3 centimeters). Although they didn’t seem to be sharpened, they wouldn’t be light! They were simply scaled-down versions of knight greatswords. He’s so young, can he use such heavy swords?

What these people didn’t know was that if it wasn’t to keep a low profile, he could easily use two real knight greatswords that were taller than Long Haochen.

A year of hard training had brought him earth-shattering changes. On the eighty-third day in the ant-lion nest, he was finally able to block the attacks of the ant-lions from all directions with a bamboo sword. After that, he still practiced in the ant-lion nest every day, the only change being the weapon. From the lightest bamboo sword to the wooden sword, then to the iron sword, the fine iron sword, and the greatsword, constantly adapting to various weights of double swords. After he adapted to the knight greatsword, he spent another month practicing back from the greatsword to the fine iron sword, the iron sword, the wooden sword, and the bamboo sword. He completed a whole set of cycles.

By the time he had completed these, a year had passed. This time he came to Haoyue City because Xingyu had given him two tasks, which were considered as assessments of his hard training over the past year.

After entering the city, Long Haochen simply asked someone for directions and found the location of the Haoyue City Branch Temple of the Knight Temple, his first goal. After crossing several wide streets, he saw the destination marked with a shield and sword near the center of Haoyue City.

The Haoyue Branch Temple was far from what the Odin Sub-Temple could compare to. From the outside, this tall building with at least five floors occupied a vast area, and there were two young knights in armor standing guard at the entrance.

“Little friend, who are you looking for?” When Long Haochen came to the entrance of the Knight Temple, the young knight on the left asked with a smile. It must be said that Long Haochen’s beautiful little face had considerable affinity.

“Hello, brothers. I’m looking for殿主Nalan Shu.” Long Haochen politely saluted the two knights before speaking.

“Looking for the Temple Lord?” The two young knights looked at each other, and the one who spoke earlier asked, “What do you need?”

Long Haochen said, “My teacher asked me to find Temple Lord Nalan and give him a letter.”

“Then give me the letter.” The young knight on the left said.

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “My teacher said that I must give it to Temple Lord Nalan personally.”

The young knight said with difficulty, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. This is the Haoyue City Knight Branch Temple, and only people from our temple can enter.”

Long Haochen said anxiously, “I’m also from the Knight Temple! I’m from the Odin Sub-Temple.”

The young knight said, “It’s still not possible, little brother, it’s like this. You children from the sub-temples can only come to the branch temple during the triennial assessment. You should give me the letter, and I will help you pass it on. I can only take you in if the Temple Lord is willing to see you.”

Long Haochen frowned. Xingyu had told him that this letter must be given to Nalan Shu personally.

Just then, a clear and melodious voice sounded, “What are you doing? Making things difficult for a child?” Along with the voice, a person walked out of the Haoyue Branch Temple.

It was a young girl in light armor, her pink hair neatly combed into a ponytail behind her head, and a pair of beautiful pink and blue eyes were staring at Long Haochen. This girl looked eighteen or nineteen years old, with a graceful and moving figure, and a sword hilt was exposed on each of her shoulders.

“Knight Sir.” The two young knights, who had actually only recently advanced to Quasi-Knights, saluted respectfully at the same time.

The girl came to Long Haochen and looked at his face with some curiosity. She said to the two young knights, “I heard everything you said. Rules are rules, but people are people. Moreover, this little brother is also a member of our Knight Temple. I’ll take him to see Uncle Nalan. Can a child cause trouble?”

PS: Little Zhengtai is out, the plot will move forward faster, hehe, more exciting is about to unfold. Seeking collection, seeking recommendation votes. Seeing that Yueguan and Maoni’s chrysanthemums are just around the corner, I can’t help but think of the story of Maoni sleeping in the bathroom for eight hours back then…
