Chapter 311 Yes, it’s the Sword of Hell!
Mo Cheng was stunned by the sudden announcement from the system. The ceremony of conferring the title had not yet ended. Misha held Mo Cheng's cheeks with both hands, pressed a lip print on his forehead, and stretched out her white palm and handed it to Mo Cheng.
Suddenly, he felt something soft touching his forehead. Mo Cheng was still thinking about the system's task, and when he came to his senses, he saw a hand in front of him.
Remembering the teachings of the court etiquette officer, Mo Cheng gently held Misha's hand and kissed the back of her hand as a return kiss on the forehead.
Even the nobles watching the ceremony were shocked. Her Royal Highness's blessing with a kiss on the forehead usually meant only one thing: that the newly promoted earl was a guardian knight personally recognized by Her Royal Highness.
Now the nobles understood why this knighthood ceremony was not presided over by Queen Caroline, but by Princess Mishas.
[Guardian Knight] is a certain custom on the continent of Khorvaire. Its origin is so ancient that it is impossible to trace it. Only historians who have done in-depth research on etiquette and rituals would look for its source in the long history.
The nobles who understood the meaning of "Guardian Knight" all looked at Margaret who also came to watch the ceremony. When Queen Caroline was still a princess, she also chose a guardian knight, who was Martha Lauren Frost, the commander of the Grey Wolf Legion who currently guards the North.
The guardian knight is not limited by gender, but it is a very important identity for the princess. Only with the recognition of the princess herself can one become her guardian knight.
If the Guardian Knight is a female, then their relationship is that of best friends or even sisters. If they are of the opposite sex, the Guardian Knight is equivalent to a partner candidate.
Queen Caroline's husband, Prince Charles, served as Princess Caroline's guardian knight after Martha went to the North to inherit the Grey Wolf Legion.
But according to the intelligence from the nobles, Earl Mo Cheng was undoubtedly very close to Margaret, the only daughter of Marquis Martha, but now he has begun to serve as the guardian knight of Princess Misha. The meaning of this is very intriguing.
Margaret ignored the gazes of others and squinted her eyes at Princess Mishas. Since their mothers were close friends, their relationship was extremely close. In fact, if Mo Cheng was not there, Margaret would have been the first candidate for Princess Mishas's guardian knight.
At this moment, as if she felt Margaret's gaze, Princess Misha looked towards where her good friend was, blinked and smiled mischievously.
Ever since Mishas disappeared for several days during the incident with Archbishop Alfonso and was then escorted back by Mo Cheng, she often asked Margaret about Mo Cheng. At first, Margaret thought that Mo Cheng offended the princess because he did not know etiquette.
But now let’s look at…
How should you respond when your best friend wants to snatch your man from you?
There is no such solution in the booklet given by Aunt Wendisa!
The knighthood ceremony came to an end, but it was not over yet. When Mo Cheng stood up, several voices rang out at the same time:
"Wordsworth Eden, hereby challenges Lord Mo Cheng to a duel."
"Silas Eide also wants to learn from Lord Mo Cheng's bravery."
"Kingsley Jeffrey..."
I don’t know if it was a pre , but more than a dozen young nobles challenged Mo Cheng all at once.
The knight who guards the princess must have powerful military force. When the princess chooses her knight, anyone who has a different opinion can naturally go on stage and compete with the knight. The loser basically has no face to continue to pester her.
Although the information collected by the nobles showed that Mo Cheng killed Ichikiji, Ichikiji's fake body tactics were very famous. With only a head left, no one dared to be sure that it was the real Ichikiji.
Most people have doubts about Mo Cheng's specific strength. Among the young people who jumped out at this time, there are those who want to test Mo Cheng's strength, those who disagree with Mo Cheng becoming the guardian knight, and those who just want to join in the fun.
Mo Cheng didn't know everything, but he had a good grasp of his current situation: he was being targeted for some reason, he didn't know what it was, but it was most likely related to Misha Si.
"So..." Mo Cheng turned his head to look at Her Royal Highness the Princess, "Is this matter related to you?"
Mishasi did not answer directly. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Mo Cheng's ear: "Please ask my guardian knight to solve the problem first. I have something to tell you."
When I was daydreaming about the system tasks just now, did I ignore the information given in the cutscene?
But there was one situation that Mo Cheng could understand, that was that he was challenged by more than a dozen young masters, most of whom were at the sixth level, and a few strong ones were at the seventh level.
There is no need to think too much about other things, just ask later.
Mo Cheng drew out the ritual sword in his hand and looked at the many challengers. "I accept your challenge, but my time is limited, so come on together."
It's not a good idea to get bloodstained in the palace, but it's not difficult to defeat this group of people.
"Kinlis, can you tolerate this?"
"Go ahead, Silas, show him how powerful you are!"
“…”
The other nobles were happy to watch the fun and not only moved away to make room, they also kept adding fuel to the fire. Each and every one of them was an expert at adding fuel to the fire.
Princess Mishas deftly walked around behind Mo Cheng and patted his shoulder. "Go, my knight."
Is Her Royal Highness the Princess too lively?
However, at this point, Mo Cheng could only cooperate with Princess Mishas' words. The Guardian Knight's passionate voice spread throughout the hall: "Fight for you, Princess!"
In an instant, Mo Cheng made his move.
The endless roars of evil spirits, the wails of the dead, and the strong smell of death enveloped the challengers.
It was as if the boundary between life and death was blurred, and reality and the underworld were confused. At this moment, the challengers were all shocked, unable to understand, unable to resist, and could only watch as the sword like hell pierced their chests and took their lives away.
That is not the swordsmanship that this world can possess. It is a sword from hell, the sword of hell.
But just when the challengers thought they were about to be pierced by the blade, the unsharpened ceremonial sword simply cut the top button of their clothes lightly. When the challengers came to their senses, the ceremonial sword was covered with more than a dozen buttons of different styles.
Level 3 [Sword Dance] increases Mo Cheng's control over the sword to the limit. Even if he does not use other powers, these challengers will not be his opponents just based on swordsmanship.
