Chapter 310: Chapter 154: Demon Hunter’s Three-piece Set_1

Long Kongkong grinned at Paladin Commander Nan Yu and the incredulous Zisang Liuying, saying, "I’m really at a loss here! Mainly because, I became someone else’s squire knight just yesterday. As a squire knight, I can only follow my master knight, so there’s no way I can join the demon hunting team now. The Temple will have to select another knight."

Squire knight!

Hearing these words, Nan Yu was stunned, and Zisang Liuying appeared even more bewildered. On the other hand, Long Kongkong’s face expressed utter satisfaction.

A squire knight is a special role chosen to serve under one knight by entering into a contract.

Being a squire knight requires obeying the master knight and fighting for him. If the master knight falls, the contract forces the squire knight to forfeit his life. In essence, squire knights are loyal guardians of their master knights. However, in return, a squire knight who is less talented than his or her master knight will receive half of the difference in their innate inner spiritual power as a boost.

For instance, if a squire knight has an innate inner spiritual power of fifty, and his or her master knight has a hundred, the difference being fifty, divided by two, grants the squire knight an additional twenty-five points of innate inner spiritual power on top of his or her original fifty. Thus, their innate inner spiritual power reaches seventy-five.

However, because it means losing one’s freedom, it’s rare for someone to willingly become a squire knight, let alone the elite members who have already entered a demon hunting team.

"Who is your master knight? Do you have the contract as proof?" A calm Nan Yu asked, regaining his composure.

Long Kongkong flashed a grin and replied, "It’s my brother. My talent is terrible, but his is exceptional. Choosing him was undoubtedly the right decision."

Nan Yu asked curtly, "Did you form this contract before the competition or after?"

Long Kongkong shrugged and said, "We formed it just yesterday. Primarily, I entered this selection competition for the demon hunting team and quickly realized my shortcomings, I felt the need to depend on much more talent for better growth which led me to this decision."

Yes, that was the result of the plot set by Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Ling Menglu yesterday.

The purpose was to prevent any possible selection of Long Kongkong by someone else. Since Ling Menglu decided to concede, she wouldn’t be the first to choose, and, both Long Kongkong and Long Dangdang had the same profession. If Long Dangdang were to join the demon hunting team as a mage, then they wouldn’t be able to choose Yue Li anymore.

The squire knight method was a ploy suggested to Long Dangdang by the Hall Master during their time at the Knights Sacred Legate. Only knights have the concept of squire knights. If Long Kongkong became Long Dangdang’s squire knight by contract, he would be considered his vassal. He would not be considered a formal member of the demon hunting team but an associate. After joining the demon hunting team, he could enjoy the same treatment as demon hunters. However, because generally, no one wants to become a squire knight, this situation is rare.

But to Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, becoming a squire knight was no big deal! The contract has a term, and the master knight can terminate the contract at any time. Once the demon hunting team forms, as long as they terminate the contract, everything will be fine. Of course, there’s no rush to terminate it now. Long Kongkong’s innate inner spiritual power has been continually developing with the assistance of the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, but there is still a significant gap from Long Dangdang. Therefore, the enhancement from the squire knight is visible and can be used to aid in his cultivation.

As for Long Kongkong’s current explanation, it was naturally prepared by them yesterday. There should be no issues from a legal perspective.

The reason Ling Menglu was surprised and looked at Long Dangdang was that he guessed yesterday that Zisang Liuying would likely choose Long Kongkong first.

Zisang Liuying’s face was as severe as if it was raining, she chose Long Kongkong not only because she wanted to get back at Ling Menglu, but it was also a deeply considered decision.

Although Long Kongkong was weaker now, he was still young and had a strong combination of spirit furnaces, his future accomplishments should not be underestimated. His powerful charging ability was also a quality Zisang Liuying had noticed. As a mage, having a comrade who could promptly replenish her spiritual power would most definitely significantly facilitate her damage output. Therefore, while she had to choose among knights, and could not opt for Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong was her first choice.

"Zisang Liuying, since Long Kongkong has already become someone else’s squire knight, according to the rules, he will be expelled from this selection for the demon hunting team. Please choose another teammate." Nan Yu was shocked by these young people’s tactics, but unquestionably, it was within the rules, so the selection process needed to continue.

Zisang Liuying’s lovely face turned pale as she glared fiercely at Long Kongkong, "Fine, very well, you two are absolutely splendid." She steadied herself and chose a priest, the one ranked second among those from Priests Temple, only next to Ling Menglu, a third-year student at the Spirit Furnace Academy.

She had made up her mind before. She would choose Long Kongkong as a knight, and this priest. Now that Long Kongkong could not be chosen, it was equivalent to a setback, and she needed to carefully consider choosing other knights. So, she prioritized by selecting the priest she favored first. In fact, in terms of knights, except for Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, the rest of the qualified knights were more or less equivalent.
