"Oh, it's like this. I saw your armor once before at the flea market in Crown City, and later I heard about your name in the Holy City of the Church of Light. Combining these, I got a bit of an impression of you."

"I see."

Holnet nodded slightly, and with a flick of his left hand, which had been hidden inside his cloak, he revealed the short spear he had been holding. He twirled it a few times in his palm, then lifted his cloak and hung the spear behind his waist.

"Good guy..."

Latis then sensed Holnet's barely concealed wariness. He scratched his head, about to ask something, when Holnet suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

“This is…” She rubbed the ring on Latis’s middle finger with her cold fingernail, and a hint of surprise finally appeared on her usually expressionless face. She raised her head and asked in a deep voice:

"You're actually the spouse of a knight from the Holy City?"

"...How did you know?" Radist was taken aback, withdrew his hand, glanced at the ring on his middle finger, and couldn't help but ask:

"Isn't this a normal divine magic ring?"

"..."

Holnett paused for a moment, gave Latis a look as if he were an idiot, shook his head, and said:

"These are clearly holy city rings blessed by the God of Light. They are only given when both parties are recognized by the God of Light. If you are not a Holy Knight, you must be a knight's spouse."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Latis muttered, then realized that Jennifer must have been hiding it from him. That little knight was so clever and cunning.

"It's still quite easy to recognize."

Holnett straightened up, looked around, put on his helmet in the slowly picking up wind, and continued:

“When you and your spouse stand together, any member of the church can sense the connection between you, so church members often avoid places with too many couples.”

“…I understand.” Latis nodded somewhat nervously.

"Very annoying."

Holnett twisted his hands around the cloak, slightly pulling it closed, then asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Speaking of which, who is your spouse? I do know a few among the younger generation of knights."

“It’s Jennifer, the Knight of Light.” Latis couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up and grin, “The cutest one in the Holy City.”

Holnett shuddered expressionlessly, touched his arm which felt incredibly sore, and took a step back almost imperceptibly, saying:

"Oh, it's Jennifer... I do recall the Pope mentioning you during the last meeting, your name is..."

"Latis".

Latis gave a proper knightly salute, and when Holnet returned the salute, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this slightly awkward first meeting was finally over.

“Speaking of which…” Holnett looked up at the gray, swirling current, stroked his chin, and muttered:

"I think I've forgotten something..."

"Forgot what?" Latis scratched his head, glanced at the indifferent-looking Holnet, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, curiously looked behind Holnet and asked:

"By the way, I heard you took on a disciple before, who is a good friend of Jennifer's disciple. Why didn't I see her this time?"

"!"

Holnett froze, his eyes widening instantly, and he whispered:

"not good!"

"..."

Latis watched silently as the Dark Knight turned and ran away, rubbed his forehead with an indescribable expression, took a deep breath, and strode after him.

……

……

"Teacher... Waaaaa (╥﹏╥) I kept calling you from behind but you didn't answer me, and you just walked away like that, waaaaa..."

The girl, entangled like a dumpling by the dark underground trap plants and hanging upside down, had a mournful face and complained about her heartless teacher. Her right hand was stiffly gripping the long sword on her back, as if she had just wanted to draw the sword but was instantly captured by the trap plants.

"It was windy just now, so I had earplugs in my ears."

A rare look of embarrassment crossed Holnet's face, followed by a stern question:

"Don't you have the Shadow Cloak? Why aren't you using it?"

"I used it!" The girl struggled weakly for a moment, then sighed and said:

"But transforming into darkness will disrupt the divine power within me. If I lose focus even for a moment, I can only sprint half a meter... Teacher, please put me down, waaaaah!"

"Sigh, the divine power of light within you is in a dark state, so how could it be disturbed by transforming into darkness... You're really difficult to manage."

Holnet muttered a casual remark, then suddenly lowered her body slightly. With a crackling sound as her cloak billowed, she swung her blade upwards, a cold glint flashing across the girl's body.

Amidst the girl's scream, the jet-black tussock grass fell to the ground like a twitching snake, and then the girl in gray-black armor finally landed steadily after a somersault.

Latis, who was following behind, noticed that Holnet was not using the short spear he had just used, but a dagger. After habitually twirling the dagger in his palm, Holnet sheathed it back into the short sheath on the side of his thigh.

Having heard that the knights of Promea in previous generations were divided into "Acrobatic Knights," "Purification Knights," and "Armed Knights" based on their research directions in different eras, Latis thought that, based on the various weapons on Holnet that he had vaguely seen earlier, Holnet should belong to the category of "Armed Knights."

"Teacher, you're so slow! Where have you been?!" The girl picked up her helmet from the ground, put it back on, and angrily stood with her hands on her hips, shouting.

"I was just thinking about how I'd leave you my hidden stash of money if I died! Do you know how much thinking about death can drain a young girl's youthful energy... Hey, who's this?"

Latis looked at the girl who only noticed him after surviving the ordeal, his gaze lingering for a moment on the word "Gita" on the top of her helmet, and a question mark immediately appeared on his head.

He had heard of Geeta's name from Jennifer, so it seemed to be the girl in front of him. But why was she engraving her name on her helmet?

However, Latis soon found out.

"Didn't you donate all your assets? Where did you get your secret stash of money?"

As the teacher, Holnet frowned and questioned her in a very unfriendly manner, then glanced at the name on Geeta's helmet, paused, and said:

“Gita, this is the spouse of the Holy Knight of Light from the Holy City…”

She turned to look at Latis, hesitated for a moment with a blank expression, and then said:

"Lord Lateran."

……

……

“I’m so stupid, really, how could I forget that Holnet has a mild case of dementia…”

Latis, who had just put on a makeshift name tag, sighed deeply and covered his face as he looked at Holnet striding ahead.

Long-forgotten memories flooded back, and the scene of her repeatedly calling the wrong name in the simulation was still vivid in her mind. Latis finally realized that this seemingly aloof and powerful dark knight older sister was not as reliable as she appeared on the surface!

And this embarrassing incident has happened several times in the simulations already! It's not his first offense at all! Pope, you're incredibly careless to let someone like this take care of the children!

Well, the Pope isn't much better off...

Latis took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain, and quickly caught up with Holnet, who was walking faster and faster.

After a quick exchange about his purpose for coming to the underground, Holnet understood. She had heard of the Night Elf tribes, but because of their remote location and lack of reputation for being particularly vicious, she had never visited them before.

However, it was about time for her to visit the Night Elves.

Latis knew that Holnet's purpose in staying underground, besides eliminating those roaming ferocious demons to prevent them from entering the surface and harming humans, was more importantly to find the legendary Will of Light. At present, it seemed that she was still in the stage of wandering around searching for clues.

call……

A hazy, turbulent current blew through the air. Latis looked up at the occasional debris and monsters being swept away by the air, and then clutched his robes.

Holnet said that the Night Elf tribes weren't too far away, but the underground currents were about to intensify, so he suggested that Latis return to the sanctuary with them first and wait until they weathered the currents before setting off again.

Although Latis wanted to resolve the problems in Tree Peak Village as soon as possible, he also knew that the underground was not a very safe place. Since he was new to the area, he decided to follow Holnet to familiarize himself with the environment before making any plans.

"Um... Hello, Lord Latis."

A still somewhat childish voice rang out from beside him. Latis turned to look at the girl Geeta who was running beside him, scratched his head, and saw that she seemed embarrassed after calling him. He was stunned for a moment, then he understood why.

This young girl probably wants to ask about her friend.

"Gita, right?" Latis grinned, extending his hand to shake hands with the somewhat unsuspecting girl, then asked:

"Having a teacher like this must be difficult, right? I've actually been wanting to say this for a while now: isn't that long sword you're carrying a bit too long? It'll be hard to draw in an emergency!"

"...Your Excellency, you understand me so well!"

Upon hearing this, Geeta's eyes welled up with tears, and she squeezed Latis's hand again. Then, she glanced cautiously at Holnet, who had earplugs in his ear, and whispered:

"I've been complaining about this to my teacher, but she doesn't care at all! She even said things like, 'A knight must learn to use everything within reach, even if it's not handy, you have to master it'..."

“Oh, that sounds similar to Jennifer’s parenting style…” Latis scratched his head and muttered, “It just seems a little too harsh for a young girl…”

"Yes!"

Gita nodded repeatedly, then sighed sadly and said:

"But the teacher has a point. Monsters won't be gentle with me just because I can't find a weapon that suits me..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Geeta."

Latis shook his head, feeling a pang of sympathy for the young woman, who seemed to have originally been a noblewoman. He stroked his chin, looked at the hesitation in Geeta's eyes, smiled slightly, and said:

"Speaking of which, Jennifer's apprentice, Miss Leafa, seems to be a good friend of yours, right? I've heard about you from her a few times before!"

"Huh...? After I left without saying goodbye, is she still thinking about me...?" Geeta let out a soft breath, paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is she... angry with me?"

"No."

Latis chuckled and said:

"On the contrary, she misses you, but it seems she really wants an explanation from you."

"Ugh..."

Gita sighed deeply and said with a bitter face:

"Lord Latis, please pass on a message for me, just say..."

"Wait, wait." Latis shrugged, stopping Geeta from speaking, and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, you can talk to her yourself in a while. I'm a straight man and I don't get involved in these kinds of things between girls."

"Huh? What's a 'steel straight man'... you tell me?"

A bad feeling flashed through Geeta's mind. She froze for two seconds, then quickly ran towards Latis, who had already walked away, and called out:

"Lord Latis! Tell me yourself... what do you mean by that?!"
