Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 660 Siegfried

After hearing Aiwass' words, the cardinals in the room had different expressions.

Some people looked shocked, some were deep in thought, some hesitated to speak, and some frowned.

The first person to speak up and smooth things over was the owner of this place, Cardinal Cyril.

"——You are worthy of being recognized by His Majesty the Pope and Si Zhu. Even I didn't expect that you actually passed the assessment of the Lord of Scales and Feathers in just one week."

The old cardinal, half of his body transformed into a tree and half of his body covered in amber, used only two sentences to calmly protect Aiwass.

As the leader of the "Market Supervisor" faction, Cardinal Cyril is obviously a bit thin.

And his moderate and conservative character makes him always tend to eliminate the upcoming conflicts invisible - before a quarrel occurs, proposing Aiwass' heel in advance will obviously help to make people more patient.

Clearly, his words were effective.

The middle-aged elf with short brown curly hair and frowning brows glanced back at Cardinal Cyril and finally chose to remain silent.

——If Aiwass remembers correctly, the first knights were the admirers and imitators of "Knight Siegfried" in the Herasl Empire. Siegfried, who acted as a mediator like Herlechin, also traveled among the countries. However, he ended up with a completely different fate than Heleqin.

The other party replied so briefly.

He was wearing the kind of white robe that Parthians usually preferred to wear, with only the left side of his chest exposed. The entire left side of his chest was transparent, like a carefully crafted diamond. Through the "diamond shell", one can even clearly see his snow-white jade ribs and the powerful beating heart inside his body.

He even stated the direction of his high-level magic contract without hesitation.

"Oh, sorry! I haven't introduced myself yet - there's no need to call me Topa here. You can call me Siegfried. Guardian of the Second Circle, one of the 'Mediators'. I'm with There is a contract between the Silver Crown Dragon and the Sand Clock."

"—Let me tell you, Bailey."

Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked.

Aiwass could clearly feel the undisguised hostility from him - it was a kind of hostility that was not mixed with any turbid desire, was quite clear and burning, and was as intoxicating as refreshing spirits.

Aiwass thought for a moment and realized that he indeed did not remember the cardinal. But it cannot be ruled out that this is a member of the Yan Yitian group.

However, rather than saying that he resembles a knight, it is better to say that the concept of "knight" resembles him.

Any college student in Avalon should know his name.

The person who answered was not Belisarius, but the paladin "Topa" who had met Aiwass during the promotion ceremony.

So Aiwass turned around and asked directly without any hesitation: "Excuse me... what do you call me?"

Siegfried did not have as many followers as Herletzin, and he did not place as much emphasis on absolute justice.

"what?"

The young cardinal, whose path was crystallized behind his back, nodded slightly, put his right hand on his chest like a knight, and introduced himself quite enthusiastically: "I remember who you are... I am 'Topa', you Maybe you remember me, Aiwass! You once helped me enthusiastically during the promotion ceremony...

When he heard this name, Aiwass knew the other party's true identity.

But at this time, the other party asked: "Don't you know what you did?"

"Belisarius."

He always travels around the world alone, preventing unnecessary disputes wherever he sees and helping those he likes fulfill their wishes.

Those words that could morally kidnap Herchin were meaningless to Siegfried - because Siegfried's belief was to "only help those he can see" and "ignore the tragedies in the distance." "It's meaningful", "Even if it only helps one person get happiness, it's meaningful", "There is no big or small distinction between good deeds."

Later, when he traveled to the Herasl Empire, he met a group of young people. They are all admirers of Siegfried and yearn for his "freedom to do whatever you want." Siegfried was very happy and stayed for decades, teaching them martial arts seriously.

But he also warned them that free deeds must also be restrained. So he prescribed the creed for his disciples - help the weak, be loyal to the master, have firm faith, be warm and polite. Later, these gradually evolved into the professional standards of the knights of Herasl.

In a sense, he can even be said to be the father of the Kingdom of Knights. The original knight, the "zero" knight.

But in the game, Aiwass has no memory of the other party.

the reason is simple.

Because as early as the early stage of the 2.0 plot, when the Theocracy was split, Siegfried was already dead - he died in the internal fighting among the cardinals.

From another perspective, Siegfried died due to Cardinal Loki's conspiracy.

"I remember you."

Aiwass looked at Siegfried, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his tone became gentle and friendly: "First meeting, Mr. Siegfried."

Although he had already guessed it... but now that it was confirmed, Aiwass still had to sigh: in the absent promotion ceremony hosted by Merlin, the companions brought by the pure white saint were indeed cardinals.

"It's only been a few months... It seems like it's less than half a year, right? I remember when I was still at the second level, now I have mastered advanced magic and became a cardinal. What an amazing talent," Qi Gefried admired from the bottom of his heart, "As expected of the person His Majesty the Pope has named and paid attention to! This is the purest devotion!"

After hearing this, the expressions of several other cardinals who did not know Aiwass suddenly changed, and they all paid attention to Aiwass.

Compared to the true identity of "Xingchen", this news is indeed more scary.

...Are you kidding me, second level?

Just half a year...didn't it pass in the blink of an eye?
In just a blink of an eye, he jumped from the second level to the fourth level, and even mastered advanced divine arts that humans had never mastered before...

Could this be the reincarnation of an apostle who dedicated himself to the path?
Aiwass was a little curious about Siegfried's "Pope's roll call" and asked: "Can I ask, what does His Majesty the Pope think of me?"

"Your Majesty, she..."

"—Siegfried."

Favna reminded her gently.

After hearing Favna's reminder, Siegfried suddenly woke up.

He explained to Aiwass seriously: "Just last night, an unprecedented catastrophe occurred in the Theocracy."

"……Cataclysm?"

For a moment, Aiwass thought that the disaster of trees and amber had finally come.

But what the other party said next moment made Aiwass slightly stunned for a moment:
"We currently refer to this disaster as the 'Star Catastrophe'.

"Because just last night, about 5% of the elves were implanted with the 'Warrior' profession by the 'Stars'.

"Most of them come from inheritors, which is okay. But there are also some professionals who come from other paths, which has caused their original paths to be forcibly reversed. Among the current statisticians, one An archbishop.

"And so far, among the extraordinary beings affected, the one with the highest level of path energy...

"It's me and Cardinal Favna."

Siegfried said seriously.
