Chapter 1828: Chapter 554: Giving Gifts, Laying Lines, Return of the 9th Tier_2

From the very beginning of proposing a duel, and the subsequent hints about identity... all were giving an out.

As a proud family among the Four King’s Knights, some outs can be taken discreetly. But being mentioned outright, it becomes an insult, and they can never agree no matter what.

...

Old Clan Leader Elsa had made up her mind, and the others had nothing to say.

Just as the hundred or so people were preparing to leave, a Spirit Communication Array suddenly appeared beside Leonard Churchill, and two cloaked figures rushed over.

As soon as the two appeared, they frowned at the sight of the severely injured Leonard Churchill.

Leonard Churchill cast a look that said, "It’s no big deal," and the two women said nothing more.

Lenny, who had seen Camilla and Tracy Garcia before, instantly recognized them. He respectfully performed a knight’s salute with his hand on his chest and said solemnly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

After a pause, he also addressed Tracy Garcia, "Lord Garcia."

Although Camilla was somewhat surprised by this address, she understood immediately through a glance exchanged with Leonard Churchill and nodded in response.

However, seeing this slight nod, Lenny instantly showed an expression of joy mixed with shock.

He knew that King of Augustus had acknowledged him!

For him, a banished King’s Knight, it was like a recognition of his family’s honor, an immense honor.

The four of them exchanged a few simple words, while the Herlands family on the opposite side was stunned.

Your Majesty?

It must be known that there is only one person in the entire East Wilderness who can be addressed this way, and that is King Arthur of the Orlan Royal Court.

Now these cloaked figures were being called "Your Majesty"?

Most people in the Herlands family did not understand, and their gazes instantly became fierce. It was one thing to offend them, but offending kingship was a capital offense.

However, Clan Leader Elsa and a few high-ranking members seemed to have guessed something, and their expressions became complicated.

They knew that the former king had an illegitimate daughter, and they also knew some hidden stories about how Queen Catherine used schemes to make Arthur inherit the throne.

The exiled princess had disappeared, and it seemed that everything was unimportant afterward.

As King’s Knights, their duty was to protect the king.

But now, that exiled princess had appeared.

And their Lord Garcia, who had always looked after them, was actually the inheritor of the Great Priest Lineage.

This put the Herlands family in a difficult position.

They recognized them but dared not speak out.

Clan Leader Elsa had already guessed some things.

And Jolin and a few other high-ranking members only now realized the meaning behind Leonard Churchill’s earlier question, "Loyal to the King of Augustus, or to the Orlan Royal Family."

Now that "Two Kings are in front," choosing any side would place them in a disloyal and unrighteous position.

The current King Orlan was their king;

The exiled princess before them was supposed to inherit the throne according to the Augustus Bloodline’s ancestral teachings.

Those who understood the situation remained silent.

Those who did not understand were still confused as to why the high-ranking members remained silent.

The scene fell into a strange stillness.

Fortunately, Camilla had no intention of revealing her identity by removing her cloak.

Her kind nature did not wish to forcibly make people submit through contracts or similar means.

These King’s Knights were after all loyal ministers to the Augustus Bloodline.

If there truly was a conflict, it was an internal struggle of kingship, and there was no need to involve innocent subjects.

Both sides fell into a peculiar silence.

Leonard Churchill also said nothing, as his injuries were far more serious than they appeared.

The Divine Power was rampaging within his body, too high a level of Law that even the "Curse of Immortality" could not suppress.

But turning his head to see the heavy atmosphere, he understood something.

Camilla did not know how to respond.

The people opposite did not know how to respond.

Clan Leader Elsa did not leave, and neither did the other members of the Herlands family.

It was as if there was a strange feeling; without a king’s command, no one dared move an inch.

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill chuckled softly. It would be inappropriate for him to issue orders, so he thought of something, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a Magic Wand straight from Ivan’s mouth.

As soon as the wand appeared, everyone on the opposite side was taken aback.

Because they felt an indescribable and terrifying Thunder Element, as if witnessing an incomprehensible God.

Jolin and Ray’s perceptions were even sharper; as soon as the wand appeared, they instantly sensed that even their own thunder elements were suppressed. It was as if a king had appeared, and all thunder elements bowed in submission.

They immediately realized: this was a Thunder Supreme Treasure!

Originally thinking that Leonard Churchill took out the scepter to fight, the Herlands family members grew tense.

However, seeing no killing intention on his face, they understood that they had misunderstood.

This wand was none other than the spoils of war obtained from killing the Heavenly Dragon Saint Chireesa, the Divine Artifact: Zeus’s Thunderbolt.

Leonard Churchill took out this Divine Artifact, seemingly completely unconcerned about its value, and looked at the young Ray, saying, "This was something I promised you before, to give you a Divine Artifact if you lost. This [Zeus’s Thunderbolt] is one of the three Divine Artifacts forged by the ancient One-eyed Giant, and the holder can have absolute control over thunder. It fits well with your Professional Sequence..."

A treasure only produces the greatest value in the right hands.

Among the people Leonard Churchill knew, no one could use this Thunderbolt scepter, and using it forcefully would be a waste.

On the contrary, Ray was the most suitable person.

Without giving anyone time to react, Leonard Churchill directly threw the scepter over.
