After talking briefly with Argus for a while, Locke met several key members of his knight's hall at the banquet.

Klopp, the sky knight who practiced dark attribute fighting spirit, was finally awarded the title of demigod eight hundred years ago and became the first demigod knight in Locke's knight hall.

After Klopp, two more demigod-level knights emerged in Locke's knights' hall.

One of them was promoted from a local Sky Knight like Klopp.

The other person was a demigod-level knight who came all the way from the east coast.

The news that Locke was promoted to a fifth-level knight in the Gemini Star Territory did not spread widely throughout the wizarding world, but it became more and more popular in and around the Western Islands.

The east coast is close to the Western Islands, and the caster organization in this area has suppressed the knight system since ancient times.

When Locke was first promoted to the fourth level, he attracted a group of small and medium-sized knight families from the east coast, but those large families with demigod-level knights still in the wait-and-see stage.

And when the news came that he had been promoted to level five, even the larger knight families couldn't sit still.

This demigod knight named Caesar brought his entire family to seek refuge.

In fact, in addition to Caesar, there were two demigod-level knights who originally wanted to lead their families to defect to Locke. However, they were persuaded by the local spellcasting organization on the east coast and offered inducements. In the end, the trip failed due to a combination of factors.

Locke chatted with Klopp, Caesar and other demigod knights for a while, because he must always understand the development of the knights' hall under his command over the years.

When he heard that there were 19,631 registered first-level or above knights in the Knights Hall under his command, and there were 65,776 quasi-knights in reserve, Locke's face showed genuine relief.

Nearly 20,000 knights of level one or above are on standby. After more than three thousand years of development, Locke's knights' hall is finally about to catch up with those old knights' halls with a long history. (first published by Zongheng)

This must be attributed to Locke's rapid growth and impressive strength.

Of these nearly 20,000 knights, nearly half were free knights attracted from the east and west coasts.

And it is foreseeable that when Locke returns to the Western Islands and his reputation as a fifth-level knight becomes more and more famous, more knights with ambitions and ideals will come to join him.

Of course, with so many knights attached to it, the finances of the Locke Knights Hall are somewhat tight.

No, during the banquet, Bili walked up to Locke and started complaining.

Since the end of the Twin Stars War, the Knights Hall under Locke has not launched any extradimensional wars.

Even in times of peace, the Knights Hall must pay salaries and benefits to registered knights on time and quarterly.

One or two magic coins may not seem like much, but when tens of thousands of knights add up, the annual salary paid to those knights is a considerable expense.

As hundreds of years have passed and accumulated over time, just from the end of the Twin Stars War to today, the basic salary Locke paid to his knights was enough to buy a second-generation space fortress.

This is what I mentioned before. As the wizarding world develops rapidly after being promoted to a large-scale world civilization, more and more knights and magicians of level 4 and above are emerging. However, these newly promoted level 4 experts are facing the same difficulties as Argus. The dilemma of maintaining one's own holy tower and knight's temple.

And a hearty and large-scale alien war will be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Faced with Bi Li's complaint about financial constraints, Locke did not respond in time, but looked at the other party quietly.

The woman with long emerald green hair in front of him was one of Locke's first friends.

Affected by the ruthless years, the wrinkles on Bili's face are much more obvious than those of Master Michelle.

After all, Master Michelle is also a demigod-level spellcaster, while Bili has reached the third level through the accumulation of potions and treasures.

Locke had a hunch that she was probably the first partner he would lose.

Maybe Bili also knew that her life was not long, so she hoped to help Locke more in her limited life.

The financial constraints she mentioned were only because the income and expenses of the St. Roan Continental Knights Hall were very close. It did not mean that Locke was facing the dilemma of having no money to pay salaries to his knights.

The Knights Hall under Locke is very rich. Even if we don’t mention the 200 million magic coins that Locke received from the business alliance Capecchi during his travels in the ancient tree star field, we also don’t mention the hundreds of thousands that Locke gained from the ancient soul tree plane. Ji Angel's body and bright jade, the remaining total assets of the Knights Hall under his command, after so many years of development, are definitely over 100 million.

When Locke left the wizarding world, the Knights Hall under his command had total assets of nearly 80 million. After so many years, it is naturally impossible to restore this money.

Not to mention the economic development and rising prices that the Wizarding World has experienced in the years since Locke left. Just the investment of the Morgan chaebol led by Bili in the Western Islands and various regions outside the Western Islands is enough to cause Locke's assets to rise.

This is the biggest gift Bili left to Locke. If this money is placed in the star realm, it can even be used as life money for a fifth-level peak creature.

But I'm afraid not many people would have thought that for Locke to have such a large sum of money, the person who needs to rely most on and be grateful is Bili, a woman with only a third level of life.

Locke's continued silence made Bili, who kept talking about the current financial problems faced by the Knights Hall, finally stop her voice.

. She looked up at Locke curiously.

As a knight, Locke was almost two heads taller than Bi Li, so she had to hold her head high to see Locke's face.

"Thank you, Bili." Looking at Bili's face covered with many fine wrinkles, Locke said sincerely.

Among all the people Locke has come into contact with so far, Bili is the only woman who does not have an intimate relationship with him, but who has almost devoted her life to the cause of Locke's Knights Hall.

Although Joakim and Dinnie were also friends of Locke at Princeton Royal Academy, Bili, who had been silently standing behind Locke and making selfless sacrifices for so many years, had already surpassed Joakim and Dinnie in Locke's heart.
