He was speechless for a moment.
Elektra left Ling Yun's embrace and looked at him with a serious smile.
"This isn't a lie that I usually make when I'm drunk. Becoming the new king's first knight is definitely a supreme honor.”
Although the Magic Society of Italy was under the command of the King of Swords, Savatore, they were only obedient and never formally pledged allegiance.
" The King of Swords, Savatore, does as he pleases. He is a king, but he is not suitable to be a leader. Even if Milan is destroyed and Typhon turns this place into a purgatory, he will not have any sympathy for us.”
"But you will."
“......”
Ling Yun was silent for a while before nodding his head.
"Can I take this as a compliment?”
"King, as long as you are willing, I can offer you the best blessings and glory every minute and every second.”
Erika summoned her sword from the void.
This was the girl's sword, the Lion King's Heart. Even if it was broken or even shattered into pieces, it could still be repaired.
"Besides, aren't we friends? This was his first request as a friend.”
The young lady waved her sword and passed the hilt to Ling Yun.
The Lion King's Heart was still warm from Erika's palm.
With a series of soft sounds, the crimson girl knelt on one knee and raised her head.
A pure and noble smile flowed in his blue eyes.
Ling Yun understood what she meant. He then used the back of the Lion King's Heart to lightly touch her shoulder three times.
"I now confer you as my first knight. From now on, you will fight for me."
Ling Yun paused.
"What else do I need to say?"
"King, say whatever you want to say."
said Erika.
"Then…In the name of the Godslayer."
After the short ceremony, Ling Yun returned the sword to Erika.
Is there any meaning to this ritual?"
"You're an Easterner, so you naturally don't know how important a knighthood ceremony is to a knight. But to me, it's very important.”
The Red Copper Black Cross was a group of Templars that had been unhindered throughout Europe during the Middle Ages.
Therefore, Erika was both a descendant of a magician who served Bafonte, the demon god, and a descendant of a glorious Holy Knight.
He regarded chivalry as the truth.
The oath was complete, which meant that Erika would never betray the person she was loyal to.
"I really don't understand, but I think with your appetite, you should be able to ask for better.”
Ling Yun left the room slowly.
"Three days is long enough for them. Inform the Magic Association that is still in the meeting to come and see me.”
Erika stayed where she was and didn't react until a while later.
Her fair and noble face flushed red.
.........
At the headquarters of the Red Copper Black Cross, the originally bright hall was covered by curtains, and the outside world's vision was completely blocked. Several figures sat at a round table for a large conference.
Most of them were the leaders of the Milan Magic Society, as well as the leaders or representatives of other magic societies who had received the news of the birth of the new king from all over Italy.
Perhaps to Ling Yun, killing a god was merely a transformation in his strength.
However, to these mortals, it was a major event that concerned their fate.
The Magic Society's " Shewolf " and " Old Lady ", the Red Copper Black Cross, the Bronze Black Cross, and the Knights of the City of Lily were all based here.
"The significance of the birth of a new king is self-evident. Have you thought it through? We've already made the king wait for three days.”
The voice of the highest-ranking knight of the Red Copper Black Cross, Paul Brauntry, sounded rather loud.
"I know what you want to say, but all the magic societies in Italy are under the command of Lord Savatore. If he finds out that we have turned to the new king, who knows how angry he will be?”
The female wolf commander shook her head.
"We have never formally pledged our loyalty to Lord Savatore. In the eyes of that Lord, we are just bees gathered in a hive. He will not have any thoughts about us.”
Paul shook his head.
"The whereabouts of the King of Swords is uncertain. The Demon King of Eastern Europe has been eyeing Italy covetously. If I fall into his hands, I think it will be even worse.”
The one who spoke was the commander of the " old noblewoman."
Marquis Woban was cruel and merciless. His terror caused the entire Europe to tremble.
If it was just death, they would not be so afraid.
However, Worban had the authority to turn the people he killed into Servants of Death, unable to rest in peace even after death.
"This matter concerns the survival of the Black Bronze Cross. We still need some time to buffer.”
The one who objected was Diana, the leader of the Bronze Black Cross. Milito.
"As far as I know, the new king was once a wandering Easterner taken in by your Bronze Black Cross. It's understandable for you to be loyal to him, but who can guarantee that we won't be treated unfairly after joining?”
The Bronze Black Cross and the Red Bronze Black Cross used to be one family, but they had been fighting each other ever since they split up.
It was normal for Diana to have such doubts.
If he was not careful, the bronze black cross would completely decline.
"Can I take this as slander against the new king?”
Paul was very optimistic about his kid becoming a God Slayer. It was all thanks to these hypocritical fellows that he had been delayed until now.
Compared to the temperamental salvatore, Ling Yun, who was closer to his niece, was definitely the best choice to pledge loyalty to.
Even a fool would know what to do.
"Of course not, but I…"
Just as the Magic Association's commanders were arguing, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A girl wearing a dark red dress and a black rose hair accessory walked in confidently with her head held high.
Although Erika was a grand knight of the Red Copper Black Cross and the heir of Paul, many people were displeased to barge into the meeting of the commanders.
"This is not a place for you juniors.”
The commander of the female wolves knocked on the table and said unhappily.
