"Indeed, that's why I deliberately asked the officiant about 'marriage' and 'abstinence'. Generally speaking, this kind of vocabulary can easily attract the attention of people around you, let alone involve a high-ranking person.
The officiant."
"Continue." Fred nodded. Downton's approach was taking advantage of common psychology.
"When hundreds of eyes are looking at the officiant, if the assassin continues to observe us, it will not be easy to be exposed. The officiant is very beautiful, and he is a man. It is normal to look at him more than once." Downton talked eloquently without any stage fright.
.
The knights wanted to laugh but didn't dare. They were almost suffocated.
"I took the initiative to give the assassin a chance to observe the assassination target, but I found that he didn't care about the officiant at all, but mostly focused on me." Downton apologized, "I'm sorry, his assassination target should be me."
"No wonder, I said something feels wrong." Andrea suddenly realized that if someone assassinated her, she should have noticed it.
"But why did he want to kill you?" someone asked.
"You have to ask the employer who hired him." Downton curled his lips and took the opportunity to promote his achievements and prove his worth. "I have many enemies. At least the bandits of the wanted criminals who I killed were
There is a reason to kill me."
"Not only that, you have too much good equipment, and there are probably a lot of people who want to kill people and steal goods." The deputy leader teased, "Be careful in the future."
"Yes." Downton nodded, feeling the deputy leader's kindness.
Indeed, no matter how powerful the knight leader is, he is not in the same system as the chief priests and cannot sit in the position of archbishop. This means that there is no conflict of interest between the two parties. After Downton has shown enough excellence, a person with the spirit of the deputy leader
.Of course I want to have a good relationship with him.
With Andrea's care, Downton's qualifications are good, and his future is bound to be limitless.
"What else?" Leon asked, "With these alone, I'm afraid we can't be completely sure that the other party is an assassin, right?"
Leon wanted to suppress Downton, or at least make him look embarrassed. Otherwise, he would lose all face.
"He pretended to look at the scenery around him and acted like a tourist. But if you are a tourist, you will basically not wear leather armor. After all, no matter how easy it is to wear, it is not as comfortable as regular clothes." Downton smiled confidently.
"His leather armor is very old, which shows that he is a magic user who works frequently. When such people have spare time, they more often choose to go to taverns for entertainment instead of coming to church in the early morning."
"Maybe he is a believer?" someone objected.
"If he is a believer, he should be looking at the church building. Think about it, when most believers come here, will they be shocked by the magnificence of William Memorial Cathedral?"
The clergy nodded. It was indeed true. In fact, not only believers, but also tourists would be shocked by the church.
"So. He is pretending too much. He shouldn't look around. After all, the most beautiful scenery here is the church."
"What if he is a local and is already familiar with the church?" Leon asked again without giving up.
"It's possible. He might be the kind of guy who wanders around so bored that his balls hurt."
Listening to this ridicule, laughter was heard all around.
"But, absolutely no, this guy just chose to walk in front of us." Downton raised his finger. "What does this mean? In the moment of passing by, he can launch an assassination at the closest distance.
."
Everyone thought and nodded. With so many doubts added together, the identity of the assassin was almost revealed. Downton would be a fool if he couldn't recognize it again.
"Awesome!" Fred applauded heartily, "This meticulous observation and calmness are worthy of the title of a Templar."
Everyone also looked at Downton and applauded. Everyone carried the sedan chair. This kid will be prosperous in the future, but he is indeed outstanding.
If you think about it, the knights present can't guarantee that they can be calm enough to alert the officiant and block the opponent's attack at the same time.
"You are so nervous. If it were me, I would have stopped the assassin immediately and searched his body." Leon sighed, walked to Downton, beat his chest, and then
She hugged his shoulders and asked Fred, "Captain, with Downton's demonstrated ability, he can definitely be promoted to a Templar Knight."
"Yes, with the credit for saving the chief priest, and his ability to completely crush the fifth-level war magic user, he does have the qualifications." The deputy leader also spoke up.
"But if you want to become a Templar, you must also test your loyalty to the Holy See." A deacon loyal to Falfo interrupted.
"Downton has gained the favor of the goddess in the war stage and has suddenly understood the five divine arts. This is the best proof that he has devout faith and loyalty." Andrea spoke, "The meaning of the existence of the Holy See is to defend peace and harmony.
Spread the faith of the goddess, so Downton is loyal to the goddess and naturally loyal to the Holy See."
The deacon couldn't refute. It's just that Downton's few bishop-level magical arts are too crooked. Do you dare to say that Downton is disloyal? Then wouldn't you be even more disloyal if you don't know any bishop-level magical arts?
"Okay, Downton, on behalf of the Templar House, I grant you the title of one-star Templar." Andrea said it in such a public place, and Fred didn't want to refute her face.
He also values Downton very much and is happy to give him favors.
The eyes around him suddenly became hot. The Temple Guards were extremely envious. Wasn't he promoted too fast? But after watching the battle just now, they also felt that Downton was qualified enough.
The Templar knights smiled and walked up, greeted Downton, and congratulated him. They couldn't afford to offend such a character, so naturally it was better to get closer to him.
"Brother, I knew you were the best." Elaine's cheeks turned red with excitement. The Templars had greater rights than the Templar Knights, and they also had much more freedom. They could also receive a salary and have fixed holidays.
Downton tightened his grip on the Templar Knight's badge, but he didn't expect that before he could warm it up, he would have to replace it with another one.
The dogma stipulates that you cannot drink alcohol, be extravagant, or enjoy your food and drink, so Downton gave up the idea of inviting everyone to dinner on this occasion. Of course, he wanted to send some fine wine to the two group leaders in private.
This kind of human exchange is no stranger to Downton, who has been a postman for three years. He will not be arrogant just because Andrea is protecting him.
"Boy, I really belong to you." Leon smiled, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Captain Fred actually agreed.
Surrounded by a group of knights, Downton returned to the Third Chapel.
"What did you say?" Magath was dumbfounded after hearing Downton's purpose.
"Captain Fred has promoted me to a Templar, so come and get the badge." Downton showed eight white teeth and smiled brightly.
"Are you kidding me?" Magath actually believed it. The friendly attitude of so many knights towards Downton is the best proof.
Downton spent another thirty minutes going through the formalities, and then went to the Knights' Court with his ID to collect his badges and equipment.
"I, Di Polo, you are the fastest-promoting paladin I have seen in the ten years I have been on duty." The daily deacon had to use a curse word to vent his surprise.
"I understand, you can go down." After listening to Magath's report, Falfo calmly waved his hand. He is just a one-star Templar. There is nothing to make a fuss about. He takes this kind of position casually.
You can give away a dozen.
After all, the status is different, and the perspective of looking at things is also different. For ordinary clergy, Downton, who was a commoner the day before yesterday, has reached the sky in one step. However, the deacons understand that one-star knights are just ordinary armed personnel of the Holy See.
He doesn’t have any rights, so it’s not too late to be happy when he becomes the captain of a hundred knights.
Downton didn't know that when he left William Memorial Church, there was an explosion inside, and everyone was discussing his topic.
"He is definitely the fastest-promoted Templar in the history of our church outside of wartime."
"But this guy is definitely qualified, and he's worth a lot of money. He looks like he's wearing rags, but his weapons and equipment are definitely worth over 10 million."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Don't forget that he also has a war space prop. I don't know what's in it. But it should be very valuable."
"The nearly one hundred ghoul servants are definitely not running away. Have you noticed it? Those servants seem to be wearing uniform light armor, which is a lot of money. Isn't Elaine a commoner?
?How could her brother be so rich?"
The priests were talking a lot, and they were very interested in this newcomer who had suddenly emerged. They had not forgotten that this young man was still practicing dragon-slaying martial arts.
People like Falfo and Fred would definitely not let a guy with an unknown identity appear in the church, so they immediately sent people to investigate. Then a few days later, because there was no information worth keeping secret, the origin of Downton was revealed.
It began to spread in churches in Sichuan.
At a young age, he became the chief engineer of the Dagger Mine. After the two thousand-man gangs that attacked the gangsters were wiped out, he returned safely alone with nearly a thousand heads, and then killed hundreds of gangsters who looted Chenwu Town.
, among which Tyson, the ogre of the fifth level of war, is the most ferocious and famous.
Looking at Downton's resume, while everyone envied him for his good luck, they also had to admit that his strength was indeed outstanding.
"No wonder Priest Andrea wants to win over him. Where did this kid get the army of the undead? Although there are only a few hundred of them, their strength cannot be underestimated. Just look at him beating the shit out of thousands of gangsters.
I can probably guess."
"The Fox of the West?" Everyone thought of Downton's description of the process of discovering the assassin that day, and felt that his meticulous observation, quick adaptability, and big heart that remained calm in the face of danger, and all his advantages, fully deserved this title.
You must know that he was an elite killer trained by Assassin's Creed, one of the three major mysterious organizations in the Western Continent. He was easily killed by Downton, who was three levels lower. This record alone was enough to kill most of the church's knights in an instant.
