Chapter 255 (1): Elemental Mantra x Dragonrider’s Mount
Inside the cabin, a man had his back to Wayne. As the door closed, he slowly turned around.
He was tall and well-built with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed in a green long robe. With a thick mane of short, blond hair, he had elegant facial features and deep-set eyes bright with determination and confidence.
He looked like the living embodiment of justice. Unlike the Pope’s friendly charm, this man didn’t project a unique aura. His existence was like clear water, making others picture a serenity and beauty that was distant from the bustle of the world.
Moula, the Nature Knight.
“Sir Moula, I’m Wayne Lando.” Wayne stood up straight. Although the man didn’t have a powerful presence, he was a chosen knight who had roamed the world for an unknown period of time, which alone showed how mysterious and powerful he was.
The titles of those waiting outside the door were the best proof—the Pope, the High Prophet, and an Oracle High Reverend. Almost all of the top-most leaders of the church were present, and they could only stand outside, waiting. That showed how incredible the chosen knight’s power was.
Senna said that Moula was one of the most powerful humans in the Chosen Land and the strongest of the Church of Nature.
And his hobby was playing cards!
“Greetings, Wayne. I’ve heard about you from Garvin. He has high hopes for you.” Moula got right to the point, nodding after giving the excellent young man a once-over. “Discreet mana. Your talent is greater than what Garvin told me. He was being conservative.”
“Sir Moula, do I have to take a test? I’ve prepared a lot for today. I hope that—”
“Don’t be so nervous. Relax.” Moula patted him on the shoulder approvingly. “You’re quite strong, and you look good. You’re also young and polite. The goddess will like you.”
...That sounds weird. Are we talking about being Her knight here?
