Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Chapter 40: New Knight of Honor

The four brothers in power in the Lawrence family discussed quietly, and finally Schubert stood up and said, "Don't argue anymore. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

The look on his face was as if he were some heroic figure about to die heroically.

"Come on, I'll go back to the Knights with you. I did everything."

After the reception hall was opened, the people who had gathered in front of the door all retreated.

Wang Chen was afraid that people far away could not hear him, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Schubert Lawrence colluded with the Fatui, his crime is true, he has voluntarily confessed his crime, and will be taken back to the Knights of Favonius to be punished."

The crowd immediately started talking, and someone stood up and tried to question Wang Chen, but was pulled back into the crowd by his companions.

"You're surrounding me so tightly, I can't get out. Please make way."

While dispersing the people blocking the road, Wang Chen observed the expressions of the crowd.

Some people were surprised at his words, and others were also surprised, but from their somewhat panicked eyes, it could be seen that these people were not surprised about Schubert's collusion with the Fatui.

As expected, the entire upper echelons of the family knew about the collusion with the Fatui.

The crowd made way for Wang Chen, and Schubert consciously followed Wang Chen and walked out of the manor.

When passing by the fountain, Eula finally squeezed out of the crowd.

"Uncle, I didn't expect it to be you."

Schubert, who had not expected Eula to be here, flew into a rage: "Eula! You are helping outsiders to deal with your own family!"

"Outsider? I am also a member of the Knights of Favonius."

"You! You! You are a descendant of the Lawrence family. You have noble blood flowing in your veins. It would have been fine if you had gone to the Knights Templar without permission, but now you're catching your uncle with your own hands. Aren't you happy?! You are a member of the Lawrence family, but you don't help the family regain its glory... I'm so angry! Are you worthy of the family's cultivation? If you were still here, why would we be afraid of this brat!"

Schubert became more and more excited as he spoke, his goatee trembling with anger, and he pointed his finger at Wang Chen's head.

"By the way, if you take him down now, we will give you a chance to reform and allow you to return to the family. Act quickly."

Wang Chen spread his hands helplessly.

"I don't understand. You want the Knight of Favonius to capture the Knight of Favonius?"

"I repeat again! You are not some Knight of Favonius. You are the last descendant of our family! You were the hope for our family's rise! Do you know how much we expected of you? You should obey the will of our family!"

"When do you think I've ever obeyed the will of my family?"

"You!" Schubert pointed his finger at Eula again and nodded vigorously, "You rebellious fellow!"

"If you really want to lose your temper, I should be the one who is angry." Eula put her hands on her waist and raised her voice unconsciously. "You know that you are a member of Lawrence, but you are still doing things that endanger Mondstadt's safety. Have you ever thought about how many people you have caused trouble for?"

Wang Chen said, "People in Lawrence are not welcomed when they go shopping on the street. Isn't it because of people like you?"

Schubert moved his fingers back and forth between Wang Chen and Youla, put his left hand on his heart, and breathed rapidly.

"You, you, you dare to teach me a lesson?"

"Yes, I am teaching you a lesson. Uncle, I have not experienced the glorious era you mentioned, nor do I understand the family's fanatical pursuit of it, but I am capable of judging right from wrong, and I know what is right to do. The Lawrence family will not and should not become what you want it to be."

"Ahem - what misfortune for our family! How could a monster like you appear in Lawrence!"

"Hey, hey, your current image has nothing to do with nobility."

Only then did Schubert notice the looks of the tribesmen around him, as if he were the monster.

He slowly spun around, his fingers sliding across the crowd, "You...what are you looking at? You can definitely understand me, right?"

Schubert's finger stopped on an old acquaintance, but he saw that person disappear into the crowd as if escaping from a demon.

"You! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Everyone loses control of their emotions sometimes..."

Schubert saw the niece who accompanied Wang Chen to find him, and he didn't know whether she was deceived by Wang Chen or was in cahoots with him.

"Vera! Vera!"

However, before he could continue, Vera stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I think Sister Eula is right. What you did has caused us a lot of trouble."

"you also!"

"The children of the Lawrence family were not allowed to interact with their peers from the outside world since they were young, and they instilled aristocratic ideas into us all day long. The funny thing is that even if you allow it, others will not let their children interact with us. Even before Sister Eula, there was no restaurant in Mond willing to let me eat, but now at least there is the Deer Hunter.

"When I was little, I didn't know much and thought that everyone else in Mond was a bad person. Later, when I learned about my family history, I realized that they had forgiven Lawrence a long time ago. It was you who didn't forgive Lawrence. It was you who made Lawrence go down this path."

Vera looked directly at Schubert without fear.

"The glory of a family is never obtained by being complacent and arrogant. A true noble should not value etiquette, but quality and spirit! The family's initial glory was fought for by people like Lord Vanilara, and the final glory was destroyed by people like you!

"Look at the Gunnhilds and the Ragenfinds!"

Following Vera's words, many young people from the family stood out from the crowd. The adults watching were surprised to find that so many descendants of the family supported Vera. When did brainwashing education stop working?

"How shameful! It's unreasonable!!!"

"The future is set, let's go, the more you look at it, the sadder you will be."

Wang Chen pushed the furious Schubert out of the manor. Kaiya was already waiting there with a team of people.

"Congratulations on passing the assessment. We will be colleagues from now on."

A farce has come to an end.

The next day, Wang Chen came to the Knights again and had to go through the formal registration process.

Still in the office area on the third floor, you first need to provide proof of identity.

When Wang Chen said that he only had a certificate for taking risks, the two staff members whispered to each other.

"Isn't this against the rules?"

"The last honorary knight didn't even have an adventure certificate, but he passed the review, didn't he?"

"Then let me ask the leader?"

"You're already an honorary knight, so I think the higher-ups must know everything. It's a waste of time to ask... But we should still ask. That way, we won't be held responsible if anything goes wrong. You go ask, and I'll handle the matter first."

"Row."

The two did not shy away from mentioning Wang Chen in their conversation.

"Please take a look at the contract first. My colleague will go and confirm your ID with your boss. The contract is quite long, so please read it carefully and be careful not to be deceived."

Wang Chen took the thick stack of contracts.

Honorary knights have no salary and do not need to work in a knightly order like ordinary knights. Apart from these two points, honorary knights enjoy the same treatment as knights.

Like ordinary knights, they cannot do anything that will damage the reputation of the order. Otherwise, once discovered, their knighthood may be revoked and their contract may be terminated.

When encountering problems, both the Knights Order and the Honorary Knights can ask each other for help, but the Knights Order can refuse at its discretion, and the Honorary Knights must provide help within their ability, otherwise they may be stripped of their knighthood and their contract may be terminated.

Wang Chen confirmed this with the staff.

The answer was that although it was written in the contract, the Knights Templar generally would not issue such a mandatory requirement.

After a while, the staff member who had left earlier came back with permission from his superior.

After signing several contracts and waiting for a while, Wang Chen's status as an honorary knight was registered.

There was no certificate of Honorary Knighthood, but the information channels within the Knights Templar announced the birth of a new Honorary Knight.

In the afternoon, Xiao saw the news on the bulletin board at the Knights' recruit training ground.

The training ground for the Knights' recruits is located in the north of the Knights' Order, west of the Cathedral of West Wind, and in the northwest corner of the entire Mondstadt. The surrounding area is relatively open and there are few residents.

Generally, similar venues are chosen in remote places. Firstly, the land is relatively cheap, and secondly, they will not be disturbed by others or disturb others.

As for the function of the training ground, it is naturally to train new recruits.

If all the people in Teyvat are counted, the number of people with the Eye of God is probably between one in a thousand and one in ten thousand. The vast majority of the armies of various countries are made up of ordinary people.

The Knights of Favonius recruit a group of new soldiers every season, and the new recruits are also trained in this training ground before being selected for the reserve.

When the Knights' assessment is over, the selected list will be announced on the bulletin board in the recruit training ground. This season's assessment will start in ten days, so the changes on the bulletin board at this time will be particularly attractive.

The reservists had just finished their free lunch and stopped to look at the notice board as they passed by, then walked back to the training ground while discussing.

Shaw Sidney was among them.

"How come there's another honorary knight? Chen? Does anyone know him?"

Xiao's companions shook their heads.

The previous honorary knight expelled the Wind Dragon in front of the witness of the whole city. No one had any objection to her obtaining this position, but this unknown knight would undoubtedly be the focus of much discussion.

Xiao remembered that the black-robed man he met at the Adventurer's Association last time seemed to be called Chen, but that Chen was only a junior adventurer, so he thought to himself that it was impossible.

But no matter who it was, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

That is an honorary knight. Although he does not receive any salary, ordinary people who join the Knights Templar are just ordinary soldiers. If they are unlucky, they may be assigned to logistics or guarding. Only after making certain contributions can they be promoted to knight. This knight is not a titled knight.

No matter how you look at it, an Honorary Knight is still a Titled Knight in one step. How can that not make people jealous?

Xiao has participated in the Knights' Assessment twice, and this is his third time. After failing the last assessment, his strong desire to improve his strength made him obtain the Eye of God. At least that's what he thought.

After obtaining the Eye of God, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and he can also manipulate the wind element with the same attributes as Captain Qin. He is absolutely bound to win this selection.
