Chapter 508: Provisional Saint Knight Head (II)
Every higher ranked knight present viewed Long Haochen in a new light. In addition to their curiosity, he gained their respect. Although they didn’t know how Long Haochen destroyed that demon god pillar, how could this be done by chance?
The old man from before stood up, and beat his chest with his right fist, “I, auxiliary head of the Knight Temple, Holy Knight He Jun, apologize for questioning this decision. You spread the knights’ glory, and deserve the title of Saint Knight Head.”
Long Haochen returned the politeness with haste, “For the knights’ glory.”
Almost all the other knights present repeated Long Haochen’s sentence, “For the knights’ glory!”
In terms of a contribution made for the Temple Alliance, the mere accomplishment of being the first person to ever destroy a demon god pillar was enough to make his honor and glory unquestionable in their eyes.
He Jun nodded to Long Haochen before turning to look at Long Tianying, “Head, since Twelfth Golden Knight made such a great contribution, how about getting rid of the appellation of ‘Provisional’, and add the title of Auxiliary Temple Head?”
What is a Holy Knight? That’s a knight of the ninth step that has just never obtained the approval from a Divine Throne. And this Holy Knight He Jun was an Auxiliary Temple Head of the Temple Alliance as well.
Long Tianying shook his head, “No need. His contribution for the Alliance won’t be forgotten, and our Knight Temple will keep it in mind. We will speak of his future post after he gains approval from a Divine Throne. He is currently still too young, and giving him too high a post would be inappropriate.”
Long Tianying’s declaration once again shocked the entirety of the officers present.
What does “after he gains approval from a Divine Throne” mean? It means that the master of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, Divine Knight of Control and Constraints Long Tianying, has already determined that this Twelfth Golden Knight will surely obtain a Divine Throne in the future, becoming the fourth Divine Knight of the Knight Temple.
This isn’t merely thoughtless words. Even someone with Long Tianying’s status wouldn’t speak such words lightly, without an absolute confidence. That’s not even saying anything about the following part “too young”. How old could he be? What did he mean by too young? Just how young is that?
Long Haochen didn’t expect his grandfather to introduce him this way. Without exposing his identity, this raised him instantly to the top of the Knight Temple.
After a short time of confusion, Long Haochen understood his grandfather’s intention. Long Tianying did it for very simple reason, to build up his influence, and prepare his future.
To both Long Tianying and Yang Haohan, in the future he will be bound to take up the duty of the head of the Knight Temple. But right now Long Haochen certainly didn’t have an important position or influence in the Knight Temple. As it stood, even if he became a Divine Knight in the future, his approval within the Knight Temple would hardly be assured. The two Divine Knights were aiming at building his notoriety within the Knight Temple in order to have him gain the approval of more of these high ranked knights. Having him take the title of Provisionary Saint Knight Head was also for this—for his future approbation and influence.
He Jun wrinkled his brows, asking intuitively, “Head, may I ask how old Twelfth Golden Knight is? Could he be even younger than Xing Yu was back then?”
Long Tianying replied after a short time of silence, “The day he becomes a Divine Knight, everyone will be aware of this truth. At the moment, it has to be kept secret. That applies to everything I just revealed. Alright, now it is time to start the meeting.”
From this moment onwards, Long Haochen formally became the Provisional Saint Knight Head. This meant that he gained a role to play among the higher-ups of the Knight Temple.
Long Tianying designated a vacant seat for Long Haochen.
