This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi and Bao Xia tilted their heads and looked at the silly little thing at the same time.

Then the little thing looked down, first looking up and down at Bao Xia who had a confused expression, and finally looked at Ye Yiyi who raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes, his expression stunned.

"Huh? How could it be a stranger? Ah!"

The little thing looked as if the sky had fallen, and rubbed his face quickly, and asked hurriedly:

"Your Highness, are you... the newly crowned king?"

Chapter 618 Yudanna.

"Wait...wait, what's with this little guy with butterfly wings?"

The oath-taking ceremony was just halfway through when white feathers began to fall from the top of the head like snowflakes. There was even a little girl, only the size of a palm, sitting on the soft white feathers.

Bao Xia raised her head in a daze, and the vertical eye on her head inadvertently lit up a faint light, taking in the gorgeous fiery figure, and then transformed its existence into an understandable meaning and transmitted it into her brain.

"Nature's spirit? A goblin?"

Baoxia felt the name appear in her mind and her eyes widened slightly.

The wonderful legends and bedtime stories he had heard as a child, the customs and habits integrated into daily life, and the things buried deep in his memory, all seemed to be awakened from the dust of many years by this word.

"Has your little brain been blessed by a goblin? How come your magic skills are improving so quickly?"

"You asked Mom why she put mint in the swallow's nest under the eaves? Silly child, it would attract goblins to live there."

"Graduating from the temple at such a young age? Incredible! Another genius prodigy blessed by the goblins!"

Bao Xia vaguely heard familiar words spoken by a familiar person.

It seems that it is not just the empire, but every country that borders it has legends of fairies.

Such legends have long been integrated into people's lives, making people believe that there are kind little fairies living in the beautiful flowers. At night, they will come out to play with their butterfly wings under the shining light of the eternal moon, and bless kind children with wisdom.

In fact, as the youngest magic knight master in the history of the hall, Bao Xia has always believed that he is a child blessed by fairies.

If he had not been blessed by the goblin, how could he be so talented, successful at a young age, and become a genius that others envied and hated?

But in the final analysis, the reason why legends are legends is that they seem to exist, but in fact they are illusory and untouchable.

No one has ever seen a goblin.

The so-called "blessing of the fairy" is not some kind of "concrete thing", but an "abstract existence" with the same meaning as the word "talent".

But Baoxia would never have imagined that one day he would actually see the legendary fairy coming!

"Little goblins...actually exist?!"

Baoxia widened her eyes, suddenly feeling an unreal feeling as if a legend and a dream had come true.

And if he heard correctly, the little goblin... seemed to be saying that he was the "messenger of white feathers and creed" and had come specially to preside over the oath-taking ceremony?

The oath he uttered during the ceremony came from the Chivalric Creed, which was said to be the oath of allegiance sworn by the White Feather Knights in ancient times.

And the sudden arrival of the goblin meant that this oath-taking ceremony had been approved by both the goblins and the Knight's Creed!?

At that moment, Baoxia was almost overwhelmed by the huge sense of surprise like a tsunami!

In fact, after learning from Ye Yiyi that he had lost his human identity and was "born" as a member of the clan of the superior.

He already knew that he had lost the freedom and right to continue living in human society.

Whether it is the Knights Templar, the Decision-making Committee, or the rules and regulations of the Church of the Hunting God, his situation is an extreme threat of "deep pollution"!

Logically speaking, he should be arrested and investigated first, and after it is determined that there is no clear infectious hazard, he should be stripped of his knight and human status and escorted back to the Empire or a research institute in the Hall of Stopping War as a contaminant.

Then, as an alien, he lost his human dignity and was subjected to endless research and experiments like a guinea pig.

Now think about it, if Ye Yiyi hadn't killed all the Holy Elephant Knights who believed in the Eye of All-Seeing, he wouldn't have even spared the Eye of All-Seeing, the superior being itself.

If he wanted to continue living, he could only become their companion and become a "cultist" as the voice said.

But Baoxia didn't want to be a guinea pig, nor did she want to be a cult member.

Therefore, after Ye explained the pros and cons one by one, he chose the only option that would allow him to survive.

That is, to follow the ancient knight's creed, swear allegiance to Ye Yiyi, and become the other's exclusive knight.

But even if he did this, he still felt a little unsure.

The reason is simple: not all knights are knights, and not all knights abide by the chivalric creed.

The Knights of All Beings is one of the subordinate organizations of the Brave Army of Stopping War. Although it has the title of knights, it is actually a military organization. It is completely different from the knights in the traditional sense who are loyal to the lord and the king.

Therefore, he was not sure whether he would still be regarded as a traitor by the Zhige Hall after pledging allegiance to Ye Yiyi.

But now that the little goblin has appeared, it means that the legitimacy and sanctity of his oath of allegiance to his lord as a knight have been recognized!

In this case, even his former employer would surely ignore his act of job-hopping and betrayal because of Mr. Michaela's noble status, right?

After the huge surprise, Baoxia suddenly felt a sense of confusion and resistance.

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that he really wants to become Michaela's knight and dedicate everything to this lord?

For Bao Xia's generation of progressive imperial people, things like knights offering loyalty and lives to their monarchs were actually history from the previous era, or plots in adventure novels.

Although the Rodno Empire was called an empire, it was actually a constitutional monarchy. The actual ruler of the empire was no longer the emperor who had become a mascot, but was managed by the Secret Council, which served as the imperial parliament.

Therefore, in today's imperial society, the feudal and backward monarchical concept has long been sparse and weak, and people pursue the accumulation of wealth and the realization of value.

Instead of reversing history and doing something like knightly loyalty...

It was originally a compromise made just to save his life, but now the goblin has come here and turned this formal ceremony into a real oath ceremony, which makes it difficult for him to accept.

"I should have avoided reciting that oath!"

Just when Bao Xia was getting a little anxious and thinking about whether to go back on his word and discuss a different approach with the other party, he suddenly noticed Ye Yiyi's expression.

The blond young man raised his head and looked at the little elf who was falling from the sky in a daze. There was no surprise in his eyes, but instead a hint of scrutiny and surprise.

It's okay to be surprised, maybe he didn't expect the fairy to suddenly appear.

But scrutiny?

why?

Is Lady Michaela examining a goblin?

Then Baoxia saw the fairy looking down at him, her delicate little face like a doll looking him up and down, then she frowned and pouted as if a little dissatisfied.

Then she looked at Ye Yiyi, who raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes, and the dissatisfaction on her face suddenly turned into panic.

She quickly rubbed her face, revealing an expression as if the sky had fallen. The pair of fiery red butterfly wings behind her trembled slightly, scattering sparks of light.

Bao Xia saw the little fairy's trembling voice and asked cautiously:

"Your Highness, are you... the newly crowned king?"

"what?"

Bao Xia was stunned, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Your Highness? The new king?

Did I hear it wrong?

Why would the legendary goblin address Lady Michaela in this way?

"Your Highness..."

Ye Yiyi muttered the name softly and nodded slightly in her heart.

Nivea said that when she saw him, she felt like she was facing a king. Later, she tested him with the goblin code called the "Book of the King's Command", which proved that he indeed had the "qualifications" to become a king.

But in the final analysis, Nivea has not figured out what this qualification actually means.

And now, this little goblin who appeared out of nowhere, as expected, could not tell the difference between a king and a quasi-king, so he mistook him for the king.

Ye Yiyi glanced at the dumbfounded Bao Xia, then looked at the little goblin who seemed to be about to cry, and sighed slightly.

"We can talk about other things later. Aren't you here to preside over the ceremony? Let's finish the business first."

"Yes... yes! Business... business is important!"

The little goblin held back her tears, rubbed her face hard, and began to recite her testimony again.

"I... I... I am the messenger of White Feather and Creed. I bear witness to the oath in the name of the leyline... Ugh! No way! Your Highness!"

The little goblin had just read a few sentences when he couldn't help but glance at Bao Xia again. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he pointed at the other party and complained bitterly.

"This knight is totally unqualified! He... he is not worthy of being a White Feather Knight!"

Bao Xia's already uneasy mood suddenly died, and the thoughts that had finally come back were immediately lost, and her brain became empty again.

Although Ye Yiyi had known for a long time that Bao Xia's move was just a formality, he was still a little surprised that the witness denied it so decisively.

He glanced at Bao Xia, whose face suddenly turned pale, and asked thoughtfully.

"Is it him who can't do it? Or is it you who can't do it?"

"Like he can't!"

The little goblin was furious, and her long red hair was floating in the air without gravity, like a burning fire.

"The Monument of Creed completely disavows his loyalty! He's not even a knight! Your Highness, you must not be deceived by this cunning villain!!"

"I……"

Baoxia raised her head stiffly, a hint of helplessness showing on her pale face.

I thought I was a genius prodigy who grew up blessed by fairies, but in the eyes of real fairies, I was just a cunning villain...

The fantasy was shattered.

Bao Xia seemed to want to explain something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.

"It's a shame. Some people don't quite recognize your loyalty."

Ye Yiyi smiled indifferently, held the sharp sword and handed it over with the hilt.

"But we've only known each other for less than a day, so there's nothing wrong with this. You don't have to take it too seriously. At least I see your sincerity."

"I see……"

Bao Xia took the sword in a daze, but sat down on the ground helplessly.

The white feathers that fluttered like snowflakes disappeared in the air. The little elf looked back and forth between the new king and the unqualified knight, his expression confused, his eyes wide open in confusion.

"Your Highness, what on earth is this..."

She flapped her wings and flew over gently, her face full of confusion.

"You don't have to call me Your Highness."

Ye Yiyi stretched out his hand, let the little goblin fall into his palm, and chuckled.

"I haven't become king yet."

"How is that possible?"

The fiery red little goblin sat on his palm in a duck-like posture. Upon hearing this, she stretched out her arms in surprise and started shouting.

"But His Highness clearly bears the marks of the King's order! This proves that His Highness has been recognized by the Grand Law Code!"

"The king's order..."

Ye Yiyi frowned slightly, thinking that he had indeed paid tribute to the Goblin Code and learned the goblin's magic, but the king's order?

What kind of abstract thing is this?

"Let's talk about this later."

Ye Yiyi glanced at Bao Xia who had come to his senses, interrupted him, and then pointed around.

"By the way, why did you come here? And do you know where this place is?"

"I heard the oath of the White Feather Knight in my dream, and only then did I come here at the call of the holy monument."

The little goblin looked at the surrounding scenery, suddenly scratched his head, and showed a strange expression.

"Hey, Your Highness, isn't this the lower level smelting hall? Are we still in the workshop?"

"Oh?"

Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "From what you said, you originally lived in the workshop?"
