Chapter 186: Chapter 119: Is There Something Wrong with This Holy Knight?

The day after Gu Shanhai arrived, Merlin left with his people and even sent over the Holy Knight inheritance to him.

He let Gu Shanhai start his new position, and now Gu Shanhai was loitering in the Royal Library, gathering three natural sigils of the sun, moon, and stars, while also looking into the Holy Knight inheritance.

Going to the battlefield was out of the question; with his limited abilities, it would be pointless.

It had to be said, gathering the three natural sigils of the sun, moon, and stars was quite challenging, and Gu Shanhai estimated it could take a month to successfully gather all three.

"Once I’ve perfected the ’Green Emperor Longevity Scripture’ and Magic Domain again, I’ll get up and go look for the Holy Grail."

Gu Shanhai decided on his plan, figuring he might as well leave this world and try another after finding the Holy Grail.

The value of this world had significantly diminished, yet the harvest had been extremely bountiful.

"Eh? A player?" Gu Shanhai noticed a player with an ID above their head walking around in the Royal Library, which puzzled him because it lacked a prefix, suggesting they weren’t from any known studios or clubs but seemed like a regular player instead.

The player also noticed Gu Shanhai but merely nodded without saying anything.

’It seems some players have already raised their reputation to a level where they can enter the noble class of Camelot Kingdom; with a bit more effort, they might even get to hold a noble position.’

The two didn’t know each other; Gu Shanhai just nodded and smiled back. A normal player wouldn’t harbor ill will and desire to kill just because they met another player here; only someone deranged would think like that.

The player then pulled out a book and started reading, apparently doing some kind of task.

Gu Shanhai didn’t pay further attention to the player but continued to ponder: ’It seems this lifetime won’t see players taking up Priest or Holy Knight positions in Camelot Kingdom.’

To hold a noble position, not only enough reputation but also favor from other high nobles and a considerable amount of achievements were required. Missing one meant missing out on the position. Reputation was the threshold; favor from high nobles ensured no opposition during the appointment, and achievements were the ladder, without which one couldn’t rise.

As for that player, it seemed unlikely; they probably only had enough reputation, which was necessary to enter the Royal Library.

Gu Shanhai himself also had reputation, quite a substantial one at that, but it wasn’t known at the lower levels; rather, he was recognized among the upper class, a top-tier figure. Not to mention his titles as Royal Scholar and Advisory Scholar—his reputation alone allowed him free access.

The other likely faced some restrictions.

Entering the Royal Library also had its benefits. Here, one could trigger certain Knight class-change quests and find various talents and skills, even gaining attribute points as rewards. However, acquiring these required not only a reputation but also completing tasks, some of which were long and arduous, sometimes taking years to complete.

Fortunately, Gu Shanhai wasn’t affected by the "First Epoch" semi-digitization, so he didn’t have to worry about these complications; once learned, the skills were his to keep.

"This life is more comfortable than on the island," Gu Shanhai contentedly sipped his drink. Since returning from Amute, he had drastically reduced his living standards, recalling the more than a year spent dining outdoors, resembling wilderness survival.

Lucky for him, he had undergone specialized training in the Druid profession, or he might not have survived.

Then, he directed all his focus back into the Holy Knight inheritance. The sun, moon, and star sigils gathered automatically; it was just a matter of programming, which he had pre-installed in himself.

Actually, there wasn’t much to the Holy Knight inheritance; it just seemed vaguely familiar.

"This is just like the Paladin skills from next door’s Diablo, isn’t it? I might not be well-read, but don’t try to fool me."

Gu Shanhai was speechless. He had just encountered specters; what, did the ancient times also have Nephilim...

"Damn, no, that’s not it; according to this progression, isn’t it more like there would be a Demon invasion in the future?"

"But considering the Druids of this world are so potent, it seems unnecessary for the Nephilim. Those Demons would probably be ground into the dust."

With the conquering Red Dragon King, Wizards of great prophetic divination, Round Table Knights, and many powerful Druids, three Demon Kings arriving would be akin to delivering vegetables.

"Besides, the Demons of this world have almost made it into the zoo; they practically have no place to live."

By the time Gu Shanhai restored the High Magic Era through the Holy Grail, who knew who would be invading whom.

His thoughts grew increasingly numerous, but he soon suppressed them, focusing solely on researching the Holy Knight inheritance.

"Providing regeneration and healing prayer auras, increasing defensive capability with resistance auras, reducing negative states with purification auras, enhancing stamina and vitality with vigor auras, boosting energy recovery with meditation auras, draining enemies’ vitality and energy to restore oneself with salvation auras, and increasing all elemental resistances with rescue auras."

"It seems to lack single-resistance auras, right? I remember there being resistance to cold, fire, and such, probably yet to be developed but seems like it could derive from the rescue aura."
