Chapter 310 - 154: Demon Hunter’s Three-piece Set_1
Long Kongkong grinned at Paladin Commander Nan Yu and the incredulous Zisang Liuying, saying, "I’m really at a loss here! Mainly because, I became someone else’s squire knight just yesterday. As a squire knight, I can only follow my master knight, so there’s no way I can join the demon hunting team now. The Temple will have to select another knight."
Squire knight!
Hearing these words, Nan Yu was stunned, and Zisang Liuying appeared even more bewildered. On the other hand, Long Kongkong’s face expressed utter satisfaction.
A squire knight is a special role chosen to serve under one knight by entering into a contract.
Being a squire knight requires obeying the master knight and fighting for him. If the master knight falls, the contract forces the squire knight to forfeit his life. In essence, squire knights are loyal guardians of their master knights. However, in return, a squire knight who is less talented than his or her master knight will receive half of the difference in their innate inner spiritual power as a boost.
For instance, if a squire knight has an innate inner spiritual power of fifty, and his or her master knight has a hundred, the difference being fifty, divided by two, grants the squire knight an additional twenty-five points of innate inner spiritual power on top of his or her original fifty. Thus, their innate inner spiritual power reaches seventy-five.
However, because it means losing one’s freedom, it’s rare for someone to willingly become a squire knight, let alone the elite members who have already entered a demon hunting team.
"Who is your master knight? Do you have the contract as proof?" A calm Nan Yu asked, regaining his composure.
Long Kongkong flashed a grin and replied, "It’s my brother. My talent is terrible, but his is exceptional. Choosing him was undoubtedly the right decision."
Nan Yu asked curtly, "Did you form this contract before the competition or after?"
