Chapter 304 Promotion Ceremony
The two pieces of golden equipment cost 100,000 each, and the other cost 80,000 redemption points.
While buying new equipment, Malu also heard about something.
Last time, in order to prove that Shrike was dead, he and Levi brought back her damaged staff, which aroused great interest among the researchers of the Weapons and Equipment Department.
The equipment used by the fallen witches usually comes from the witches they killed, or is defective products that flowed out of the Temple City through some unspeakable channels.
In other words, they don't know how to make equipment themselves.
However, the weapons and equipment department did not find relevant information about Shrike's staff in the weapons library.
——This is a brand new weapon.
The top leaders of the church attach great importance to this, because it means that the Witch Alliance has probably mastered the manufacturing process of weapons and equipment.
Moreover, research by the Weapons and Equipment Department found that the manufacturing level of this staff was even higher than that of the church.
This discovery also caused an uproar in the weapons and equipment department.
The smartest brains in the entire Temple City are gathered here, and the church continuously provides money, materials and equipment. As a result, their research on witch equipment lags behind those precarious traitors outside the city.
This was something they could not accept under any circumstances, so almost all researchers suspended their work at this time and began to devote themselves to the detection and analysis of this staff.
The more they studied it, the more they were shocked. The complexity and advanced level of this weapon far exceeded their imagination.
It's not as powerful as the creations of this era. Fortunately, Shrike was killed by the missile before she could use it. Otherwise, even someone as strong as Levi might not be able to defeat her.
This description reminded Malu of the small blue electric drill on his body.
Could it be that Shrike also found the relics left by the pointed hat like him?
But Shrike doesn't have a traveler's bracelet like him, which can read the messages left by Pointed Hat hundreds of years ago.
Moreover, the guy with the pointed hat is just a doctoral student, and he is not an intelligence agent. It is normal to have a backup point to store data. It is normal to have some spares, but it is impossible to have several safe houses. If he really has this Your vigilance will not be fooled so badly by your good friends.
And Malu was certain that no one had entered the secret backup point he discovered before.
Where did the relics in the Shrike's hands come from?
Malu had some guesses about this, but he didn't want to wade into this muddy water too much. He went to the weapons and equipment department to get new armor, bought new equipment, and then went to the auditorium on the 6th floor.
The male monk who called himself the herald was already waiting for him here.
The master's promotion ceremony was not complicated. After all the senior members of the Holy Knights arrived, someone first read out Malu's achievements as a knight.
However, because he joined the Holy Knights for a short time, his achievements are obviously weak compared to the other 12 masters in the Holy Knights.
Li Wei was also aware of this, so he specifically gave more credit to Malu for killing the Shrike. In his statement to the church, Malu participated in the battle with the Shrike and played a role in it. important role.
In addition, not long ago, Malu killed a group of fallen witches hiding in the Red Rock Grand Canyon, and his achievements were so-so.
Later, Martin, the leader of the Holy Knights, came forward and personally awarded Malu the Master Medal and the Long Sword.
This was the first time that Malu met the nominal leader of the Holy Knights.
Martin is very old, he looks to be at least seventy years old, with white hair and deep wrinkles on his face. However, he stands very straight, speaks clearly when speaking, and there is no slowness in his movements.
For an old man, he is undoubtedly still in good health.
However, as the leader of the Holy Knights, health alone is obviously not enough. Ma Lu even heard rumors that he was no longer able to wear his knight armor. He had not been to the front line for more than 20 years. In recent years, he had Even the daily affairs of the Knights were left to others to take care of.
No wonder Li Wei would have the ambition to replace him.
In addition to Levi, the Holy Knights also have a deputy leader who is more than ten years younger than Martin, but is still in his prime. Unfortunately, he has health problems and has been busy treating illnesses for most of these years.
Therefore, Levi became the actual person in charge of the Holy Knights.
Martin handed the sword to Malu's hand, then reached out and patted Malu on the shoulder, smiling.
"Congratulations on your promotion to master, Knight of Westwood. I hope you can continue to serve the church and the Holy Knights in the future. May the glory of the Lord of Order always shine on you."
Malu didn't know if it was his imagination. Martin seemed to have specially emphasized the words "Church" and "Paladin Order".
He took the sword, nodded and said, "I will."
Afterwards, Malu took an oath, and the other 12 masters came forward to bless him and accepted him into the Round Table.
After all this hard work, Malu finally completed the entire process of the promotion ceremony and officially became the master of the Holy Knights.
When the ceremony was over, Martin came to him immediately and enthusiastically invited him to the office on the 33rd floor, saying that he would discuss the next development of the Knights with him.
However, he was politely rejected by Ma Lu. Afterwards, Martin saw Ma Lu walking towards Li Wei in front of him, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.
On the contrary, Li Wei was quite satisfied with Malu's attitude.
"Very good. It seems that after becoming a master, your mind is still clear, which is rare. Remember, I can make you a master, and naturally I can also deprive you of your identity."
After a pause, his tone slowed down a little, "Since you are already a master, don't just be busy with tasks, but also participate in the management of the Knights. I have arranged your next specific position for you, and the appointment will be announced in a while.
"But don't worry, before that, you should relax first. By the way, there will be a celebration in the city next week to celebrate the 230th anniversary of the construction of the Temple City. On that day, the church will temporarily lift the prohibition on alcohol, and we may be able to have a drink then. ”
Unlike Martin, Levi did not use a negotiating tone. The aura displayed by the deputy leader of the Paladin Order was even stronger than that of the nominal first leader of the Paladin Order, as if everything was under his control and no one could question it.
With the merit of killing the Shrike, Levi's reputation in the Paladin Order has now reached its peak, completely overwhelming Martin.
Malu speculated that he should have been ready to seize power. The conflict between him and Martin has now been completely public. According to Malu's observation, most of the 12 masters other than him have also made their choices, and there are obviously more people supporting Levi.
Perhaps in a few months, the Paladin Order will really change.
But this has little to do with Malu. He was picked up as a master for free, and it doesn't matter whether he is the master or not. The worst result is nothing more than throwing him away again.
