Chapter 157 The Contradictor Who Makes Mistakes(1/2)
Sir Paul Demar had always believed that Dallion was the last heir to the Kingdom of Pendor, and he himself was probably the last gryphon knight with a legacy.
He vowed to help Dallion restore his country - this is what he has always taught Dallion...
However, as Dallion grew up, Pauldemar had a suspicion - Dallion looked nothing like Helen, and the ring that once shined in Helen's hand was not in Dallion's hand.
But there was almost no response...
So his heart was full of contradictions and distress.
He is a gryphon knight, he is the guardian of the Pendor royal family, and his lifelong belief requires him to find the true royal descendants.
But the old man has raised Dallion for so many years, and his relationship is closer than his own... He would rather believe that there is something wrong with the ring.
This is very confusing.
Therefore, Pauldemar did not mention his suspicions to Dallion.
He didn't know what to say. After all, he had always taught Dallion the words 'the true king of Pendor', 'the bloodline of the previous king' and 'the legitimate heir to the throne'...
But no matter what, the doubt in his heart always existed.
So he still insisted that Dallion was a direct descendant of the royal family, and he still educated Dallion in this way, but he made two preparations...
While teaching Dallion, look for other possibilities.
If you can find someone who can use this High King's Seal, that would of course be the best.
If he couldn't find it, then regardless of whether Dallion was of the blood of the late king or not, he would insist on helping Dallion restore the country - this was the meaning of this old man's existence as the last griffin knight, and the value of his life.
This seems to be a reasonable idea, but the problem is that he doesn't know how to look for other possibilities.
He is old and has no manpower...
Moreover, even if there are still descendants of the late king in the world, they will definitely remain anonymous. After all, he himself can only live in seclusion in the mountains with Creon.
Until ten years ago, Mirgan led some adventurers to find the sealed ancient settlement.
Dallion was only a teenager at that time, and Pauldemar was already old. The young man could not deal with Mirgan and could only watch as he looted all the weapons and equipment in the station.
But Pauldemar got an idea.
The old knight came forward and told Mirgan that this was the arsenal of the Griffin Knights. Those who find these griffin equipment are the chosen ones, and they can use the name of the "Gryphon Sword" to rule the world...
In order to make Mirgan believe, Pauldemar also deliberately said that if he defeated himself, he could take away the 'Gryphon Sword' in his hand, which represented Gupande's supreme royal power - of course, the sword in his hand was actually just
The weapon of the Knight Commander of the Griffin Knights, the sword that truly represents the royal power, was taken to Buckley by Leon's parents, but the old knight did not know it.
At that time, Mirgan was young and energetic, so he really believed it. He defeated the old knight, took away the sword of Pauldemar, and then he really named the adventure group "Sword of the Griffin".
Pauldemar is actually using Mirgan to attract the attention of the outside world.
Anyway, it is destined that the weapons and equipment will be taken away by Mirgan, so it is a good idea to take the opportunity to let Mirgan attract firepower.
In the view of the old knight, this would not only test the Lion Kingdom's reaction to the name 'Gryphon Sword', but also attract real royal blood through this iconic name.
Because the real Griffin Sword does represent the royal power of Pendor, but more than a hundred years have passed, and few people in Pendor now know the meaning of that sword.
Probably only the descendants of the royal family and those who retain the legacy of the Griffin Knights will not forget it.
The old knight felt that if there were still descendants of the Pendor royal family in this world, they should know the meaning of the Griffin Sword and would definitely go to Mirgan's team. He might gain something by keeping an eye on Mirgan.
Coupled with so many Griffin Knights equipment, most people would think that the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group is the pseudonym of the Griffin Knights, and members of the Pendor royal family will definitely pay attention.
Just as the old knight imagined, the 'Gryphon Sword Adventure Group' became very ostentatious after obtaining the griffon equipment, and became famous in a few years.
However, Paul Demar, who has been tracking and observing this adventurous group, has gained nothing - there is no royal family of Pendor, only many careerists looking for trouble for Mirgan.
And people will grow. After several years of being a shield, the arrogant Mirgan also realized that the so-called Griffin Sword he got from the old knight was actually of no benefit to him...
Mirgan is no longer so high-profile and declares that his equipment is just trophies - he wants to distance himself and show that his mercenary group is hostile to the Griffin Knights.
Since then, the Griffin Sword has become a pure mercenary group, taking more tasks to protect or find noble women, and fewer and fewer people are paying attention to this mercenary group.
So the old man's calculation failed.
In fact, the old knight's plan was destined to be unsuccessful.
Because the old man did not expect that after Princess Helen and his wife fled to Buckley Continent, they did not mention anything about blood royal rights to their children at all, and even sealed the Griffin Sword - the one who was knocked
Leon Griffin, who had become sapless, had no idea the meaning of the Griffin Sword.
The noble royal princess became an ordinary noblewoman, and the unparalleled knight became an ordinary hired knight. After experiencing many things, the couple no longer planned to return to the country, and just wanted to live a good life in Buckley...
Of course, Pauldemar was not completely without gains - he at least discovered that the current Lion Kingdom did not respond to the 'Gryphon Sword'.
This means that the current Lion King Ulric seems to be different from the Mad King. He does not care much about the existence of the Griffin Knights, but he does not agree with its legitimacy.
Later, Baron Leofric became the lord of Kerwen, which further proved this point-nobles who openly use the griffon emblem can already become baron lords of the Kingdom of Lions.
The old knight went to see Baron Leofric a few years ago and learned that Leofric's ancestors were indeed gryphon knights.
However, Leofric said that now that he is the lord of the Kingdom of Lions, it is impossible for him to return to an illegal knight order, let alone support Dallion's restoration of the country. Unless the flag of the Kingdom of Pendor is erected again, and he can be guaranteed
safety...
Of course, Leofric also showed kindness to the old gryphon knight, but that was all.
So the old knight simply asked Dallion to come down from the mountain and claim the throne directly.
This can not only accumulate strength, but also attract real royal bloodline - if there is one.
Of course, if you really haven't found it yet, then just accept the mistake...
So the mistake was made a few months ago.
The story of Li Ang's dissuasion of the drunkard group in Kewen Village spread and reached the ears of Paul Demar.
In fact, for Li Ang, the battle was not fierce at all. In essence, Alaric took the initiative to seek normal transactions after he sobered up.
But due to the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, it was rumored to be very magical in Kewen Village...
He led 30 people to repel 800 people, but his opponent was the notoriously difficult 'drunkard group', and according to rumors, Li Ang also defeated the drunkard group - after all, they had given money to buy alcohol, so when would the drunkard group drink?
I paid...
In fact, Li Ang paid the money...
But in the eyes of those who don’t know the truth, this is of course a glorious and legendary victory...
In addition, Li Ang's griffon flag has appeared frequently recently, and is used by caravans and convoys. Baron Li Ang's reputation in this area is actually much greater than imagined.
So Pauldemar began to pay special attention to Li Ang, but now that he was old and had inconvenient legs and feet, he could not run to Li Ang's territory, so he had to let Daliang develop in Kewen Village, and when he met Li Ang, he invited him back.

The reason why he asked Dallion to stay in Kerwen was similar to what the lord imagined.
Dallion has been living in the mountains with his adoptive father. He has not seen much of the world and has a very upright temperament. Therefore, Pauldemar did not dare to let Dallion run too far and asked Dallion to only move around the village of Kerwen.
Because Baron Leofric knows of their existence and will protect Dallion.
"Your Highness Li Ang, I have long felt that Daliang is not a descendant of the royal family... so I have been looking for the real person. But I also did not expect that you are the son of Princess Helen - I am really happy to be here.
Age sees your presence.”
Pauldemar looked at Li Ang with a smile, but there was a trace of bitterness behind that smile.
Of course the lord understands this bitterness. The old man has raised Dallion for more than 20 years, and now it is confirmed that there is another heir to the royal family. Although the old man is mentally prepared, he will still feel a little bit sad.
"I admire the loyalty of the gryphon knights, ser."
Li Ang bowed to Pauldemar. He really admired this old knight who had been fulfilling his oath all his life.
Pauldemar bowed, probably pleased that his loyalty was recognized.
"In fact, I have investigated you, Your Highness. I know most of your deeds. I am very pleased that your performance is worthy of being followed by the Griffin Knights... In this way, I finally don't have to let Dallion do what he is not good at.
I am self-aware that I can only teach him to be a knight, but I cannot teach him how to govern the country. Now that he can get rid of the shackles of the throne, this is actually the happiest thing for me! I just need to let him
Pass on the legacy of the Griffin Knights..."
The bitterness on Pauldemar's face has disappeared, leaving behind a sincere smile: "And you are capable enough to raise the flag of Pandor."
Of course Li Ang can understand. This old man has raised Dallion for more than 20 years and obviously has a deep relationship with Dallion.
If he had a choice, the old man would certainly not want Dallion to fight for the throne. The old knight knew Dallion's temperament and how risky it was.
After confirming that the Lord was the direct heir to the Pende royal family, Pauldemar was indeed happy from the bottom of his heart - his adopted son could get rid of the most dangerous job.
But Li Ang also has no intention of making his identity public now. He already has enough enemies...
So, the lord raised a question that troubled the old knight: "Sorry, Sir, I don't plan to openly raise the flag of rebellion to face a kingdom just yet, so you really can't call me your highness. But I can support Dali."
Ang re-established the Griffin Knights - but I have some doubts, how are you going to tell him..."
Li Ang looked at the old knight with some teasing.
"I was just thinking about how to tell him... It's my fault, he has always believed that he is the king of Pendor..."
Pauldemar suddenly became sad.
Dallion has always believed this since he was born. If he suddenly changes his mind, Dallion will definitely have doubts about life and may become autistic...
However, this matter could only be solved slowly by the old knight who was his adoptive father. Li Ang shook his head, took off the ring in his hand, and handed it back to Pauldemar.
To be continued...
