Chapter 17: 17. Pure White Knight George
Translator: 549690339
Furse City is a huge city.
Located in the south of the Kingdom of Ingris, this ice and snow city should have been warm all year round. However, it is the coldest city in the entire kingdom.
There are more than two million humans living here, and unlike other cities in Ingris, demi-humans and non-human intelligent creatures are extremely rare.
Even today, when light bulbs are invented, no matter where they go, the demon hunter and Hela can see huge torches.
All the streets of Furse City are lined with two-meter-high torches, which are symbols of Gavyn, the Goddess of Fire.
The Primordial Flame is also the flame of the end.
According to the Church of the Primordial Flame, the universe was born in a blazing fire and will eventually perish in a blazing fire.
Other churches sneer at this claim.
But this cannot prevent the Primordial Flame from becoming one of the unshakable religious sects on this continent. Their believers are spread across multiple kingdoms, and Furse is their first step of infiltration into Ingris.
The main structure of the divine church is golden and red, and the beautiful and proud statue of Gavyn stands on the Primordial Flame Square. The magnificent marble statue is nearly 28.8 meters high, so even most giants could only look up to admire her beauty.
However, this height is far from worthy of mentioning for a true deity. The previous Pope reinterpreted the Holy Fire scripture and overturned the previous claim that the goddess was 2888 meters tall.
Instead, he claimed that Gavyn's figure is as tall as eight suns, and modern astronomy has already shown how amazing that concept is.
If she wants to come to the mortal world, she either has to create an avatar or send an emissary; otherwise, she will destroy the entire Erethia. So one can imagine how great Gavyn is.
If Hewitt were to speak, it would be pure nonsense.
But the demon hunter knew that although the Primordial Flame had great power in this city, they were not the rulers here.
The demon hunter held the little girl's hand and pointed at the majestic tower.
"Hewitt, are there magical mages up there?"
"No, there are White Knights."
The Knight Order of the Kingdom of Ingris.
There were once twenty-four sharp claws of the Giant Dragon. Six were broken during her thousand-year conquest, and six betrayed her during her thousand-year slumber.
Today's Ingris should be jointly assisted by the Twelve Knights Order and the Kingdom Parliament to manage the kingdom, but since the king is temporarily unable to handle political affairs, the actual rulers of the country are the Knights Order and the Parliament.
Inside the tower.
A handsome young man stared at the church on the other side of the city – that is the second tallest building in Furse City compared to this tower.
Pure White Knight George, draped in a white fur coat, looked down at the city below with a condescending gaze.
There were four Silver Helmet Knights kneeling behind him, all holding sword blades, fully armored, and silent with their heads down.
They were all George's disciples, but to be honest, in George's eyes, none of them had the qualifications to inherit his mantle.
Not suitable materials.
George put down his teacup and turned to his disciples:
"Do you have anything to say?"
Chief Apprentice Abel, a muscular man standing roughly 1.9 meters tall, was the first to speak:
"Recently, Deputy Commander Adams has made many small moves in private, possibly even violating the Knights' Code. In fact, since he took office, he has always wanted to sideline the teacher and secretly take control of the entire Knights Order."
George refilled his cup with steaming hot red tea and gently blew it to make the tea immediately warm and suitable.
"What do you think?" Although George didn't pay much attention to these disciples, they were still his apprentices in name. Combined with the fact that their parents paid a considerable price, he needed to go through the motions.
At least let them feel that he is genuinely teaching them, whether they listen or not, is another matter.
Abel hid his surprise and felt appreciated by the teacher's performance. Ignoring the possible jealousy around him, he confidently replied:
"Adams' actions are undoubtedly overstepping. Moreover, the knights are united, and we all grew up listening to the teacher's stories. We would not ignore the commander's orders because of his bribery. "
Saying that, Abel paused for two seconds, then slightly changed his tone:
"However, having said that, the deputy commander tested the commander's intentions several times before taking real action. I have mentioned several times before..."
When Abel reached this point, he glanced George and found no signs of anger, so he dared to continue:
"The teacher, out of his own considerations and kindness, turned a blind eye to the small moves. But he became bolder, thinking that the teacher was letting him go. If we let him continue like this, although the knights are noble and will not betray the commander, it is easy to be distracted. I worry for the teacher. Over time, it will also affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the team members."
His chief apprentice actually had decent talent, not inferior to the fourth apprentice, but he had too many little schemes and didn't think deep enough. As George watched, he gradually began to dislike him.
George pointed to Deputy Apprentice Theo. This disciple had a melancholic expression, and his head of brown curls made him look more like a downcast poet than a knight:
"How about you?"
Hearing George's question, Abel lowered his head to hide his disappointment, realizing that the Pure White Knight didn't just care about educating him alone.
Theo slowly started:
"I think the issue with the deputy commander is not significant. Although there are indeed traces of overstepping, he is still in line with the Knights' Code. All his behavior is out of good intentions. After all, only by gathering strength better can we better protect our people. I think there is no need to interfere too much until he violates the Knights' Code and the law."
Theo slowly raised his head, showing a trace of fanaticism:
"And if he does something unforgivable, the teacher can easily take him down."
George took another sip of tea. Theo was indeed more cunning than Abel. He portrayed the image of a young man who worshipped the teacher, believed in the Knights Order's legend, and put the interests of the people before the knights. "
This kind of person is most popular with stubborn and self-righteous knights, but they are not threatening to those who are scheming and selfish because they can serve them wholeheartedly with some just and reasoning arguments.
But they are also the ones who least believe in the existence of justice and fairness, and they cannot believe that a group of people in the world would fight and die for a silly ideal.
Because they themselves are extremely selfish, so they would naturally think that everyone in the world craves power and strength.
George dislikes this kind of person the most because that was how he used to be.
Before meeting the king.
