The next few days were calm . Neither the holy gods nor the confrontational armies of the two countries in the human world had any intention of making a move .

But everyone knew that a fierce fight would be inevitable . It was like the short period of calm before the storm .

On this day, a special guest came to the divine temple of the God of Knights at Thunder Light City, which was the capital city of Duchy of Thunder .

The invisible jellyfish swayed into the hall where the statue of the God of Knights was worshipped . Since almost all the forces of the church had gone to support the Eagle Kingdom, and now was not a time of prayer, there were very few people here . Only two probationary priests swept the floor in the yard outside . There was no one in the hall .

Sui Xiong stopped in front of the statue, laughed and said in a voice that only God could hear, “God of Knights, Brother Astoril, are you at home?”

The statue did not respond .

He was not in a hurry . He said with a smile, “Don’t play dead . I know you must be home! If you don’t want to send an avatar here, send a wisp of thought to talk with me . Is that ok?”

The statue still gave no response .

“You see, I’ve been very sincere in coming all this way here to see you . You are at least a knight who greatly values virtue . How can you shut out a guest who came from afar?”

On the statue, there was a divine light that the mortals could not see . A wisp of thought appeared out of nowhere and sighed deeply, “Void Mask, I don’t think there is anything I’d like to talk to you about . ”

Since it was his thoughts that were here, he spoke very fluently this time without any sense of dullness .

Seeing that the God of Knights finally appeared, Sui Xiong laughed even more happily . “How can you say that? There’s no harm in talking, right? When I visited the Orc gods last time, I saw that you were greeting them . I was curious at that time, so I came here today . What were you talking about with Lefon?”

The God of Knights was silent for a moment then replied, “It has nothing to do with you . ”

“Why? I went there for peace, too . ”

The God of Knights was astonished at that . “Peace? You went there for peace?”

“Of course!” Sui Xiong raised his eyebrows when he finally found a common topic between them . “I also went there to persuade Lefon not to fight . The world is large enough for both human beings and Orcs to live in . There is no need to fight to the death . ”

The God of Knights was silent for a moment then said, “Actually, there is nothing wrong with the war itself . But we have to control the scale of the war and avoid the massacre afterwards . ”

“That’s right . Although there is no slaughter in their current practice, they are essentially trying to exterminate the human race in the occupied areas!”

“It’s not just about genocide, but variants . They want to turn humans into the weakest mixed-race of Half-Orcs . ” The voice of the God of Knights was full of anger . “They’re planning to keep humans as their slaves forever!”

Sui Xiong hadn’t thought about that before . Suddenly he was surprised and nodded repeatedly . “You are right! That is too terrible! Even if they want to have mixed-race Half-Orcs, they should find tigers and lions . Why did they get a bunch of rabbits? Can rabbits fight? Or are they good at magic? They are not even good at farming!”

With this common understanding, they had more and more to talk about . Under Sui Xiong’s deliberate guidance, the topic changed several times . It involved many things that he had been interested in before but had not been clear on .

As a genuine senior among the gods, the God of Knights was born in the barbarous age just after the birth of human beings and Orcs . At that time, the barbarous beasts were still raging on the earth . The Goddess of Life was living with her Gold Clan (the advanced fairies) in the Ancient Forest . Of course, it was not called that then . The ancient gods always fought in the Void Space . The great divine powers of order, chaos, kindness, and evil were still alive then . Most of the gods that Sui Xiong knew about now had not even born .

From then on to now, the God of knights had gone through countless major events . It was no exaggeration to say that he was a walking textbook of the gods, a living epic . Sui Xiong asked him about those ancient things curiously . Although he had to think for a while before giving an answer to many things, he answered them all in detail every time . This made Sui Xiong very satisfied .

Strictly speaking, this was all gossip, and it was meaningless in today’s world . But Sui Xiong liked to hear these stories very much, and judging from the appearance of God of Knights, he also enjoyed talking about such topics .

“It’s weird . Why don’t you talk to people more often since you know so much?” Sui Xiong asked curiously . “The frog in the Old Fairy Temple of the Ancient Forest has been respected as a sage, but you must know more than him . Why don’t you have the title of an ancient god sage as well?”

“A sage… Haha…” The God of Knights smiled . “For a time, I was very keen on being a sage . I liked to pretend I was a human wandering around in the Main Plane, looking for young people with outstanding talent and strong will . I would teach them and watch them grow up…”

“What! You pretended to be a great sage! But it’s reasonable when you think about it . With your age and qualification, that’s enough for you to be a great sage . There’s no problem at all…”

The God of Knights liked Sui Xiong saying this . He smiled again and said, “Of my students, probably the best one is…”

He stopped abruptly, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed deeply .

“Come on! My old sir, how come you’ve suddenly gone quiet? It’s annoying to hear only half of a story . ”

“Nothing, it’s something not worth mentioning at all,” The God of Knights sighed and said . “It’s boring to talk about things that happened so long ago . ”

“How can it be boring? Whom are you most proud of? Let’s talk about it!” Sui Xiong anxiously said . “Don’t tell a half story!”

“Both of them have vast magic powers . If their names are mentioned by others, they can feel it . They don’t like people talking about them behind their backs, so there is no need to make them unhappy . ”

Sui Xiong’s mouth twitched, and he opened the Soul Force Field, covering them in .

“It’s ok now . Here we are completely sealed . No one knows what you’re saying . ”

The God of Knights was silent for a moment and said, “The connection between my noumenon and here is also cut off . It’s amazing…”

Sui Xiong shouted, “Come on! I shielded this area for you to tell me your old stories, not your feelings!”

The God of Knights smiled and said, “Since you are so curious and powerful, I’ll talk to you . I have changed my identity many times and taught many students . Among them, the most talented is Yorgaardman and the most skilled is Wuther . ”

“Yorgaardman…Wuther…” Sui Xiong said to himself . He thought for a bit, and then suddenly cried out, “What! Aren’t they my brothers, the God of Justice and the Master God of Humans the God of Light? Were they your students?”

“Yes, when I taught Yorgaardman, I was an old adventurer named Knight, and when I taught Wuther, I was an old knight named Tirion . Finally, Wuther recognized me . As for the careless Yorgaardman, he probably still doesn’t know who I really am . ”

“What!” Sui Xiong felt that he had made enough exclamations today . “Why haven’t you told him?”

“There is no need to do that . He grew up pretty well . Though different from the direction I have taught him, he has done a good job . Why should I add pressure to him? I’m an old man who has been against his ideas . ”

“You can’t say that! He probably really wants to see you again…”

“There’s no need,” The God of Knights smiled and said . “Why should he find out that his old teacher is actually an old boss that he often criticizes? Is it really good to break his beautiful memory?”

“Your idea is quite fashionable . ”

“Fashionable? That word is interesting . I didn’t expect anyone to describe it like that . I’m famous for being old-fashioned and inflexible . Even among the gods, I’ve been like this . ”

“You can be old on the outside, but not on the inside . I think you still have a young heart; you can make it right . ”

The God of Knights burst into laughter for a while before sighing faintly and saying, “I am really old, inside and outside, completely old… If you weren’t here to chat with me today, I would forget how to even laugh . ”

“That’s too miserable! You were once the Master God of Humans . How can you be in such a poor situation?” Sui Xiong frowned and asked . “I’ve also seen the former master god of the orcs . Although that fellow always looks strange with his head turning aside, he is much better than you!”

“He’s much younger than me . It’s almost been 10,000 years since I killed his father and he was conceived from his father’s dead body,” the God of Knights said with disdain . “Comparing us in age? He’s far from it . ”

“Stop it . I know you are old enough . You’ve lived longer than the time it takes for the sea to go dry and the rocks to melt in the sun . By the way, you said before that besides my brother, the God of Light was also your student . How would you describe them?”

The God of Knights pondered for a moment and said slowly, “Yorgaardman is an impulsive man who does whatever he wants . He is very stubborn, which is similar to me . But he hates to stick to the rules . This is quite different from me . He was born of a lower rank, and I couldn’t teach him for a long time, so his knowledge was poor . He was not satisfied with a lot of things, and he often said that ‘the world has rotted,’ ‘the world is totally broken’, and even after becoming a god, he often said, ‘I want to correct this wrong world . ’ So he went to the Master of Order and wanted him to modify the order of the world…”

“Well, well, I know all of this, and then he was beaten so hard he had to rest for a long time . ”

“It’s more than enough . When I got to the Wheel of Order, he had been beaten out of shape . He was like a pool of mud . Fortunately, the Master of Order didn’t intend to kill him, so he chatted with me and let me take him away instead . At that time, I wrapped him up in an old cloak and took him back . I had to be careful not to leave a piece of meat or bone on the way…”

“What! Was he beaten that badly?”

“He probably has forgotten it himself . Even if he remembers, he doesn’t take it to heart . That is the way he is . As long as he feels he is doing the right thing, even if he pays a great price or is beaten badly, he won’t shrink back or regret it,” the God of Knights smiled and said . “Among all the things I taught him, he is the best at that . ”
