In Jiang Yu's opinion, his teacher was already among the strongest individuals.
However, facing the opponent, the gap was so immense?
This naturally made it difficult for Jiang Yu to accept.
"Normal. What do you think all those young masters from wealthy families come here to be Knights for, instead of enjoying their lives at home? It's for the special power boost of a Knight," Mo Fan said.
"So that's it," Jiang Yu realized belatedly.
Yes, if there wasn't something special, who would give up being a young master at home to be a servant here?
While the two of them were talking, Heilong finally finished his lecture. He glanced at the several members of the National House Team of Great Xia who had been standing there for some time.
Seeing this, Feng Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Heilong, we are the National House Team of Great Xia, here to receive the Divine Seal Blessing from the Temple Mother."
Heilong didn't even look at Feng Li, his gaze falling instead on Pang Lai, revealing a contemptuous smile. "You still have the nerve to come here?"
"Why can't I come here? I am the National House's Chief Instructor. It is an incredibly glorious thing that the students I taught defeated your Greece team," Pang Lai, being shrewd, retorted without politeness.
Heilong snorted coldly, his windbreaker, embedded with glittering diamonds, flapped as he turned and walked into the main hall.
"Heilong, we are here to receive the Divine Seal Blessing. What do you mean by leaving us out in the cold for so long and now just walking away?" Pang Lai said unhurriedly.
"Do I, a Hall Master, have to handle such trivial matters?" Heilong threw out a sentence and continued walking without bothering with Pang Lai.
Looking at the other party's arrogant demeanor, Mo Fan found it normal.
The people of Parthenon always held a superior attitude towards any country or power.
The others were also confused, not understanding what Parthenon meant by this.
Not long after, a Gold Sun Knight came running up, his face stiff as he announced his name: "I am Hashir. I will lead you to wait."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Even Feng Li became somewhat displeased.
Pang Lai was the Chief of the Great Xia Imperial Court. If comparing positions, he was actually equivalent to the Temple Mother of Parthenon Temple. Heilong, the Hall Master of the Knight Hall, was actually one rank lower, but Heilong clearly didn't put Pang Lai in his eyes. Not only did he not receive them himself, he didn't even send a Vice Hall Master level person to receive them, but instead summoned a Gold Sun Knight???
Are they so impolite?
Although a Gold Sun Knight is a Super-Order Mage, in terms of rank, he is many levels below Pang Lai, and in terms of strength, the difference is like heaven and earth. Both are Super-Order, but Pang Lai is a Super-Order Mage with four perfected elements. How much does this Gold Sun Knight weigh?
How dare he!
"Isn't what they're doing a bit excessive?" Feng Li frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Parthenon's arrogant attitude.
Although Parthenon's influence surpasses that of the Five Continents Magic Association, it is still considered an independent organization. Such continuous grandstanding naturally makes people very unhappy!
Feng Li also agreed with what Mo Fan said: they earned the reward; they don't need charity.
"They've always been like this. Even when people from the New York Temple and St. Paul's Cathedral come, they dare to show attitude. Don't mind them. Heilong was beaten by me when he was young, so it's normal for him to be unhappy with me." Pang Lai smiled lightly, unconcerned. Clearly, he had dealt with Parthenon more than once or twice.
"Your Excellency, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to insult our Hall Master like that?" At this moment, the Gold Sun Knight Hashir, who was standing nearby, spoke up. This person looked very young, not yet forty but already at Super-Order level, so he had a promising future.
However, in Parthenon, there were many such cultivation freaks.
And when he heard what Pang Lai said, he immediately became displeased. After all, that was their Knight Hall Master, how could he allow Pang Lai to speak of him like that!
This was disrespect to the Hall Master, and similarly, a provocation to them, the Knights. He naturally had an obligation to stand up!
"Insult? Hahaha, young man, you can go ask your Hall Master Heilong yourself if he was defeated by me. Of course, you can also check the Magic Association's duel records to see if what I said is wrong!" Pang Lai laughed.
"May I ask who Your Excellency is...?" the Gold Sun Knight asked.
"Hua Xia Imperial Court Mage, Pang Lai."
"Oh, oh, you are Pang Lai." The Gold Sun Knight seemed to recall. He had heard that Hall Master Heilong was defeated in a duel when he was young, no wonder the Hall Master's temper was not good just now.
"However, those were things from when we were young. It's like an adult boxer can't bring up losing a fight to a kid from the next class when they were little," the Gold Sun Knight Hashir clearly maintained the Hall Master's dignity, continuing, "But you don't dare to compete with him now, do you?"
"If I were to compete with him now, a large area of your Acropolis of Athens would be razed to the ground," Pang Lai said casually.
"Our Acropolis of Athens has the most excellent evacuation drills. Even if a Super-Order level battle occurs, all citizens can enter safe areas and underground barriers in the shortest possible time, and no one will be affected," the Gold Sun Knight Hashir immediately said.
"Hahaha, good. You send a challenge letter to your Hall Master on my behalf and see if he dares to accept it," Pang Lai said.
He doesn't like to show off. Pang Lai truly doesn't like to show off, but the other party insisted on making him do so.
Upon hearing this, the Gold Sun Knight, who had just been shouting, immediately shut his mouth.
The Magic Association has strictly stipulated that no Super-Order Mage is allowed to engage in public or private magic duels, so if a winner is to be decided, it can only happen before Super-Order.
Before Super-Order, Heilong was not Pang Lai's opponent, which also meant that Heilong would never have hope of regaining his face from Pang Lai in this lifetime.
The reason the Gold Sun Knight shut his mouth was because the Knight Hall also had strict regulations, not allowing Knights to accept challenges other than those protecting the personal safety and honor of Goddess Hall personnel.
At this time, if he were to go to Heilong and say this, he probably wouldn't want to continue working in Parthenon.
The Gold Sun Knight arranged for everyone to stay in the Knight Hall and did not allow them to move around freely.
"When will the Temple Mother perform the Divine Seal Blessing for them?" Feng Li asked.
"The Temple Mother is busy with affairs. You need to wait patiently. I cannot give a specific time," the Gold Sun Knight Hashir said. Hashir did not leave this hall compound, guarding the entrance tightly, not allowing them to enter or exit at will.
This was Parthenon; even a Super-Order Mage could be assigned to guard the main gate.
For the National House Team, not being able to visit, move around, or do anything, everyone became emotional. To put it bluntly, they came to receive a reward, not to be confined here.
But Pang Lai was like: Young people, don't be anxious, what's wrong with waiting a day or two?
Mo Fan was like: Please remember your current expression.
