Knight Commander Green Tyree 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. He has a golden-proportioned Chinese face. He is not only civilized and polite, but also has a loyal, kind-hearted character, and abides by the rules. His daily behavior can be said to be strict with himself 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 different from another ascetic who rarely comes out to see people.

He is tied with Old Tom as the only two good comrades who have raised the overall moral integrity of the Dawn Sect.

Then he often used various excuses to send Green to any place other than the City of Light for 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 he found any reason to send him to the [Zhu] in the south of the sanctuary.

Light City], the reason is that I heard from xxx that the greening there is not very good. No matter what, it is only a place 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 just seniority, His Highness Xia Lian has absolute authority among the mainstays of this generation of Dawn Sect, especially Knight Captain Grimm. As a pickpocket, he was recruited by his mentor at the age of seven and a half.

, which was picked up by Hans Anderson, the former knight chief of the Dawn Sect, known as [Dawn Slayer], beaten to death and sent back to the Capital of Light to become a knight apprentice.

As for Green Tyree, Knight Commander Anderson, who initiated Green Tiree and was regarded as his lifelong idol, was whipped with a broom by His Highness Xia Lian when he was a child. In Green's impression, his white-haired, wrinkled-faced mentor

Every time I meet that "big sister with a sweet smile", I will follow her with a fawning face and yell non-stop. She even has poor health and can only sit in a wheelchair. She obviously doesn't have any health problems.

The teacher's wife is older but looks older than the teacher. Every time she sees the eldest sister, she calls her "Ajie" one after another.

Although he knew that the age of the elves could not be judged by their appearance, and he also knew that the eldest sister with a sweet smile was definitely not 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 Slayer] Hans Anderson passed away due to illness at the age of eighty-three.

As Anderson's only apprentice, when his master's wife died of illness two years ago, Glyn Tiree, who was only ten years old at the time, single-handedly organized the funeral for Anderson as his godson, even though Anderson had already written it in his will.

She didn’t want the sect to go to war over her death, nor did she want a grand burial, but at that time, 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 initiative to close the saints of other sects for a whole half a day.

Hall.

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. Not only did he not have any conflict with Xia Lian, who was always known for being willful, he even

Memorials were organized spontaneously.

Green Tiree stayed alone in a small church in an 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 throughout the 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 in advance and was guarded by three hundred high-level paladins and six knight captains.

There was one person he knew, the elf sister with a beautiful smile. Of course, at that time, Green already knew that the other person was Xia Lian Zhuye, the saint of his sect.

There was one he didn't recognize. He was a rather energetic old man with a white beard wearing a dusty priest's robe.

However, even though Green did not know the latter, he still guessed his identity.

The 573rd Pope of the Dawn Sect—St. Luke Tephiro.

Although Green, 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 previous pope, and did not know what kind of fortress this white-bearded old man was, he still judged Luke

·The identity of Tiphilo.

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 devout (even more devout than me) believer, if two people ignore me on the day I die (or the next day)

Canon law, if you come to see me without permission, you should be alone with me at that time. You must not 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 a lesson to be learned!).

The second one should be an old man who is 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·Ti.

Philo, 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 one 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 no matter where the other person is or what he is doing at the time,

, even if he is fighting with the Pope of the Dark Night Sect, he must come back to see the bastard before he is buried.

Ha, 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'll follow you

Not that much to say.

All in all, I knew at that time that I couldn't survive him, and I also knew that he would soon...leave here, 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've always thought he was a fragile guy, although not many people can spot this.

Hehe, people like to chatter when they get 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 bother with some unimportant things, such as forcing other people to

A sect closed its doors for me for a long time or something.

If this is the case, dear little Green, I hope you can drag Tiffero down appropriately, because we know each other too well and there is really nothing to say, so he will probably leave soon. If you can

It would be best if you keep him for a while 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, why is there a little baby here?"

The old man who quietly appeared next to Hans Anderson did not immediately greet his old friend in front of him. Instead, he smiled and winked at Green Tyree, who was standing quietly beside him, and said with a narrow smile: "I

I thought that after Della left, he would be alone until his death."

The trainee knight, who was a pickpocket three years ago, stood up and said to Tifilo in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "My name is Green Tyree. I am Hans Anderson's knight apprentice and also his godson."

"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."

The astute 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.

, just a thief he picked up from the slums a few years ago."

Luke Tefero raised his eyebrows and did not show any dissatisfaction with the word 'thief'. He just continued to ask kindly: "So has he converted you to the glory of the goddess?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Green, who was wearing casual clothes, nodded and took out a polished badge: "I am now a trainee paladin."

"Well, a paladin...doesn't have a more promising future than a thief."

Luke Tifilo glanced at Anderson's body with a half-smile, and then turned 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 great interest, his tone full of curiosity: "Who has such good taste?"

"Teacher Anderson."

While counting the time silently in his heart, Green replied calmly and at a relatively slow speed: "He said that my physique is average, but I have a high understanding of divine arts."

Luke Tefero smacked his lips and stared at Green with his eyes raised: "Then he trained you into a knight?"

"I wish to be 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 the body of Hans Anderson unceremoniously, was very impolite, and exclaimed in exaggeration. Then before Green frowned, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he sighed softly: "Although it is a bit stupid, this

It is indeed a good reason, after all, although Hans Anderson is an asshole, he is also an asshole who deserves to be respected by everyone."

Green was stunned for a moment and couldn't finish his words for a moment.

Fortunately, Tifilo didn't mean to leave 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 picked up a good child..."

Anderson, whose heart had already stopped beating, naturally would not answer him.

Tiphilo didn't pay attention, and just continued to talk to himself: "You are only luckier than me, you can meet Della who is in love with you, and you can pick up this kid, but...

..You just have better luck than me."

Not sure 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.

Then, there was a long silence...

Green felt that maybe, 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 has fallen into silence, may leave at any time, and he is obviously powerless to stop him...

Therefore, Green decided to break the silence before the other party left.

"Your Excellency..."

Green cleared his throat, and after Tifilo turned his face to him, he raised his hand and pointed down: "Can you tell me who you are? Although you don't look like Mr. Anderson's godfather or godson, the teacher has never

He never mentioned his other relatives to me."

Tifilo smiled: "If you are not a relative, why can't you come?"

"In principle, it's not possible."

Green gave a meticulous answer, and then glanced outside the church door: "Outside are the most elite knights of our Dawn Sect, and six..."

"Well, there are still six knight captains guarding there."

Tifilo interrupted Green's explanation and said with a sly smile: "Yes, my name is Garou 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 Greene with his clear eyes that were completely different from what an old man could have. The corners of his mouth curled up in a slight arc: "Luke Tefero says hello to you, smart little knight."

"you are......"

"Stop pretending, I was much more professional than you when I was pretending to be cute in the nunnery."

"..."

"Then, I think it's time for me to go, young man, what shall we do later... oh?"

Luke Tefero did not continue speaking, but replaced the second half of his sentence with a long drawn out 'oh'.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Tiphilo."

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."
