"Of course. If you can retrieve both the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither, the Tianlong Medal is yours and we only want the Dragon Horse Zither. Moreover, I can offer you a promotion to become a Skyhorse Knight."
"…"
Such a good offer, with such great temptation and rewards, there must be a catch.
Skyhorse Knight Ma Lei is being so generous as to give me the impressive Tianlong Medal, but the difficulty of this task is well known. In fact, Skyhorse Knight Ma Lei may believe that I cannot complete this mission and they are just taking a chance, like trying to revive a dying horse, hence why they are so quick to offer me such a generous reward.
If the reward were not the Tianlong Medal, if the temptation of the Tianlong Medal were not so great, I would simply turn around. However, life is about striving, and a man who is timid and shrinks from responsibility will never achieve anything. A hero is not afraid of danger, only those who fear death. As long as there is an opportunity, I will seize it.
"By the way, I am a hidden class Royal Knight, but I still haven't seen any skills or powers yet. What distinguishes Royal Knights from other knights?"
For now, let's put that aside. This question has been troubling me for a long time. This is a good opportunity to ask Skyhorse Knight Ma Lei, who is one of the top ten experts in Tianma City and should have great abilities.
"Originally named Guardian Knights, Royal Knights are one of the most powerful knights on the Tianmeng Continent, on par with Dragon Knights, Holy Knights, and other advanced knights. It is undeniable that our Skyhorse Knights are still inferior to them. The task of Guardian Knights is to protect the Temple of the Tianmeng Goddess. Their numbers are small, and Guardian Knights rarely appear on the Tianmeng Continent, so many people are not even aware of their existence. After the Tianmeng Goddess went into a deep sleep, the Guardian Knights were sealed in the Temple of the Tianmeng Goddess. After more than a thousand years, Guardian Knights have almost disappeared without a trace. I never expected that you would turn into a Guardian Knight. I am envious," said Skyhorse Knight Ma Lei, full of admiration.
"Why was my class renamed Royal Knight instead of Guardian Knight? Why change the name?"
My class, Royal Knight, turned out to be the advanced class Guardian Knight. Although I don't yet know how powerful Guardian Knights are, it is definitely not inferior given its profound background and history. However, the name Royal Knight is too common and lacks any distinctiveness. Guardian Knight sounds much more exciting.
Unfortunately, after the Lord of Tianlong City, Meng Long, turned me into a Royal Knight, he neglected to introduce me to the history of Guardian Knights or teach me any skills. He was truly irresponsible.
"Recently, I heard that Lord Meng of Tianlong City obtained a high-level scroll for turning into a Guardian Knight, which attracted many noble children in Tianlong City to send gifts and plead for his favor, hoping to turn into Guardian Knights themselves. But he turned you into one instead."
"…"
The gaming system also has its way of bypassing the regular procedures. It's really surprising, thanks to Lord Meng Long's straightforwardness and impartiality, otherwise, I wouldn't have received this benefit. But why change the name? Are they afraid of jealousy from those noble children?
Fortunately, Ma Lei continued to explain to me.
"After the Tianmeng goddess fell asleep, the temple was sealed, and the temple knights were also sealed. However, the temple knights left some skills to the Tianlong dynasty, which trained some knights to protect the Tianmeng temple established by the Tianlong dynasty. These trained knights are the Royal Knights. The Royal Knights can be said to be the most powerful knights among the human knights, but unfortunately, there is a limit to their number. Otherwise, we humans would not be afraid of the invasion of the Heavenly Demons. As for why you are a Royal Knight instead of a temple knight, it's because becoming a temple knight requires at least level 50, and you are too far away from this level. Your strength is also too weak compared to the temple knights. In order to uphold the glory of the temple knights and show respect for the Tianmeng goddess, you will be given the title of Royal Knight. When you reach level 50 and your strength increases, you will naturally become a temple knight."
I can't believe they underestimated me like this, even though I have such extraordinary abilities. I can only add glory to the temple knights and not lose face. It's really shameful to be underestimated like this.
"What about my skills? Where can I learn them?"
"I'm not sure about that. Besides the sealed temple knights, you are the only temple knight on the Tianmeng Continent. Lord Meng, the mayor of Tianlong City, only recently discovered the scroll for the temple knight job change in a secret room in the Tianmeng temple. He also doesn't know what to do next."
"…"
Speechless.
Oh my god, I'm going crazy. If I can't learn any skills in the future, how can I survive? The temple knight profession will become useless in my hands.
Wait, I remember that QingZhu's Five Elements Priest can automatically learn skills at level 20. Can't my temple knight do the same? I hope so, otherwise, I might as well just kill myself now.
"What is the purpose of the fourth of the Four Great Medals, the Explorer's Medal?"
I couldn't help but glance at the Explorer's Medal I was wearing. Could this be the medal I was wearing? This Explorer's Medal is a divine artifact, but unfortunately, it was sealed by Dongfang Xing's resentment.
"The specific origin of the Explorer's Medal is unclear. It is only known that a thousand years ago, the Explorer's Medal was obtained by the thief Dongfang Xing, who became a famous thief because of it."
It was indeed my Explorer's Medal. It's one of the Four Great Wonders of the Tianmeng Continent. I quickly listened carefully to Ma Lei's explanation.
"Dongfang Xing is stingy, selfish, and suspicious, so he has no relatives, friends, or anyone who has seen the properties of the medal. But after obtaining the medal, Dongfang Xing traveled the world with its power and even survived under the eyes of the divine beasts. He also stole many excellent treasures using the medal, including two divine artifacts and two pet eggs of divine beasts. Therefore, although the properties of Dongfang Xing's Explorer's Medal are unknown, it is still considered one of the Four Great Wonders of the Tianmeng Continent, and it is also the most mysterious one."
Oh my god, it's so powerful. If what Ma Lei said is correct, then the Explorer's Medal has become a treasure that can produce divine artifacts and pet eggs of divine beasts!
What kind of properties does it have? I'm really looking forward to it. I must find a way to unseal the Explorer's Medal and try to steal some divine artifacts.
