When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 837

Chapter 837: Chapter 216 Siegfried Chapter 837: Chapter 216 Siegfried Upon hearing Aiwass’s words, the Cardinals within the room showed varied expressions.

So were visibly shocked, others fell into contemplation, so opened their mouths as if to speak and then hesitated, while a few furrowed their brows tightly.

The first to break the ice and make peace was the host of this place, Cardinal Cyril.

“——Truly worthy of soone recognized by His Holiness and the Candle Master.

Even I did not imagine that you would actually pass the Lord of Scalefeather’s test in rely a week.”

This aged Cardinal, half tree and half Amberficate, casually provided Aiwass with protection in just two sentences.

As the leader of the “Market Supervisor” faction, it appeared that Cardinal Cyril still held so sway.

His moderate and conservative nature ant he was always inclined to resolve erging conflicts before they beca visible—by preemptively bringing up Aiwass’s achievents, it certainly helped to make others a bit more patient.

...

Clearly, his words were effective.

The middle-aged Elf with short curly tawny hair and a deeply furrowed brow turned to glance at Cardinal Cyril and, in the end, chose to remain silent.

Aiwass could distinctly feel the undisguised enmity from him—that was a desire free from any impurity, quite transparent and fierce, like a refreshing strong liquor, intoxicating in its hostility.

Thereupon, Aiwass turned back and asked directly without any avoidance, “May I ask…

what for I should address you?”

“Belisarius.”

Ca the succinct reply.

He was dressed in a white robe, the kind the Parthians favored, with only the left side of his chest exposed.

His entire left chest was transparent, like a ticulously carved diamond.

Through that “diamond shell,” one could even clearly see his pure white rib bones and the heart inside that was beating strongly.

After briefly contemplating, Aiwass realized that he truly did not rember this Cardinal Archbishop.

Yet, it wasn’t impossible that this person was a mber of the Fa Talent Group.

At this mont, the other party asked in return, “Do you not know what you have done?”

“What?”

Aiwass raised his eyebrow, questioning back.

“——Let explain, Belisarius.”

The one who took over the conversation was not Belisarius, but the Paladin “Topaz,” who had t Aiwass during the knighthood ceremony.

The young Cardinal Archbishop, with the crystallization of the Path glittering behind his back, nodded slightly, introducing himself with the fervor of a knight, hand over his chest, “I recall who you are…

I am ‘Topaz,’ you might rember , Aiwass!

You enthusiastically assisted during the promotion ceremony…

“Oh, my apologies!

I haven’t yet introduced myself——there’s no need to call Topaz here.

You may call Siegfried.

The Guardian of the Second Ring, a mber of the ‘diator.’ I have contracts with the Silver-Crowned Dragon and the Hourglass.”

He even unabashedly revealed the direction of his contracts with his Advanced Divine Arts.

However, rather than him resembling a knight, it was more as if the concept of a “knight” resembled him.

Upon hearing this na, Aiwass imdiately knew the true identity of the person in front of him.

Any college student from Avalon should know his na.

——If Aiwass rembered correctly, the original Knights were from the Helasal Empire, the worshippers and imitators of “Knight Siegfried.” Like Helquinn, also a diator, Siegfried traveled across nations.

However, his fate took a completely different turn from Helquinn’s.

Siegfried did not have followers like Helquinn did, nor did he emphasize absolute Justice.

He always traveled alone around the world, stopping unnecessary conflicts where he saw them, helping those he took a liking to achieve their desires.

Those words that could morally entangle Helquinn held no aning to Siegfried——for Siegfried’s belief was “only help those he can see,” “distant tragedies are aningless to attend to,” “even bringing happiness to just one person has significance,” and “there is no asure of large or small in acts of kindness.”

Later, during his travels to the Helasal Empire, he encountered a group of youths.

They were admirers of Siegfried, yearning for that “freedom to follow one’s heart.”

Siegfried was delighted and stayed for several decades, earnestly teaching them martial skills.

But he also warned them that even acts of freedom must have constraints.

Thus, he established a creed for his disciples—aid the weak, loyalty to the sovereign, steadfast faith, and enthusiastic courtesy.

These gradually evolved into the professional code of conduct for the Knights of Helasal.

In a sense, he could even be called the father of the Knight Nation.

The original Knight, “Knight Zero.”

But in the ga, Aiwass had no mory of the other party.

The reason was simple.

Because by the early stages of the 2.0 storyline, when the Holy Nation split, Siegfried had already died—slain during the internal strife among the Cardinal Archbishops.

From another perspective, Siegfried’s death was the result of Cardinal Loki’s conspiracy.

“I rember you.”

Aiwass looked at Siegfried, his lips lifted slightly into a warm and friendly smile: “Nice to et you, Mr.

Siegfried.”

Although it was already suspected…

Now confird, Aiwass couldn’t help but sigh: At that promotion ceremony to fill vacancies presided over by rlin, the Pure White Saintess’s companions were indeed all Cardinal Archbishops.

“It’s only been a few months…

not even half a year, right?

I rember you were only at the Second Level, but now you’ve mastered Advanced Divine Arts and beco a Cardinal Archbishop.

Such a remarkable talent,” Siegfried praised from the heart, “Truly worthy of the person His Holiness has taken note of!

This is the essence of a heart full of Dedication!”

Hearing this, the other Cardinal Archbishops who didn’t know Aiwass instantly changed their expressions and cast serious glances at Aiwass.

As expected, this was scarier than the true identity of “Starlight.”

…

What joke is this, the Second Level?

In just half a year’s ti…

wasn’t that just a blink of an eye?

In just the blink of an eye, to leap from the Second Level to the Fourth Level, and even to master Advanced Divine Arts previously unheard of among humans…

Could this person be the reincarnation of an Angel Envoy from the Path of Devotion?

Aiwass was a bit curious about the “His Holiness’ ntion” Siegfried spoke of and asked, “May I ask, how did His Holiness evaluate ?”

“Her Majesty, she…”

“—Siegfried.”

Cardinal Favna gently interrupted from the side.

After hearing Favna’s prompt, Siegfried also suddenly ca to his senses.

He solemnly explained to Aiwass, “Just last night, an unprecedented disaster occurred in the Holy Nation.”

“…

A disaster?”

For a mont, Aiwass thought it was finally the catastrophe of the Tree and Amber.

But the next words from the other party left Aiwass slightly stunned:

“We are currently referring to this disaster as the ‘Starlight Disaster’.

“Because just last night, about 5% of Elves received ‘warrior’ profession implantation by ‘Starlight’.

“Most of them are from Heirs, which is still manageable.

But there are also so from other Paths, resulting in their career paths being forcibly altered.

Among those affected we’ve counted, there includes an Archbishop.

“And so far, among the Transcendents affected, the ones with the highest Path Energy Levels…

“Are Cardinal Favna and myself.”

Siegfried spoke seriously.
