Chapter 357 - 332: Allen’s Allies_2
Frodo, although trying hard to appear tough, couldn’t conceal his frailty from anyone who listened.
Allen didn’t hide anything and got straight to the point, "I’m looking for like-minded people. You’re Frodo Ols, right? I think I remember you. You took your oath in the Imperial Capital’s Temple before me."
Taking an oath in the Imperial Capital was a privilege of the Laine second generation, and the only ones allowed to take their oaths in the main hall of the Temple of the Lord of the Dawn had to come from notable families. Although it was a form of destiny, Frodo wasn’t too pleased about it. Even though he too had sworn his oath in the Imperial Capital, there were differences.
Allen’s father was the Supreme Decree, so Allen must have sworn his oath in the main hall, in front of the Divine Idol of the Lord of the Dawn. Frodo, however, could only swear his in a smaller prayer room, before a smaller idol of the Lord of the Dawn.
Officially, they said there were too many Paladins taking oaths to fit into one hall, but in reality, it was about class separation, something Frodo was well aware of.
Now that Allen brought it up, Frodo felt like he was bragging.
However, Allen didn’t continue on this topic. As if he just wanted to find some common ground, he then asked, "Frodo, what do you think about the current state of Laine?"
Frodo was caught off guard; he hadn’t expected Allen to ask such a question.
