Invitation from the Royal Guard Knights

After descending from the city wall, Fang Li originally planned to leave the royal city directly and return to the inn.

However, before Fang Li could leave, a voice called out to him.

"Wait, Fang Li."

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Li stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Three people dressed in the pristine white uniforms of Royal Guard Knight were walking towards Fang Li.

It was none other than Reinhard, Julius, and Felix, who belonged to the Royal Guard Knights.

Looking at the three of them, Fang Li spoke with some surprise.

"I thought you guys would stay until the end."

The Royal Selection has been officially announced to have begun, and the candidates for the throne are all in the audience hall listening to the Sages's announcements regarding the Royal Selection. Apart from the candidates for the throne, no one else needs to stay there.

Therefore, not only Fang Li and Roswaal came out of the audience hall, but also many others.

Surprisingly, this also includes Reinhard, Julius, and Felix.

Fang Li thought that, given the personalities of these three Royal Guard Knight, they would likely stay by Felt, Crusch, and Anastasia's side.

Therefore, Fang Li was indeed somewhat surprised that the three of them would appear here.

Felix simply smiled innocently and said, "Didn't Fang Li Liqin also not stay?"

"Haven't I already said that?" Fang Li said. "I'm not like you; I'm not a knight of high moral character."

If one is a knight of noble character, then one will surely protect the one one is loyal to to the very end.

However, Fang Li only acts on impulse and cannot be considered a knight.

However, it was Julius who refuted Fang Li's words.

"I believe that by now, no one will doubt that you are a knight."

Julius looked Fang Li, his face showing an extremely serious expression.

"Because you are someone our Royal Guard Knights Commander personally acknowledged."

Marcos had already said that in the audience hall.

"You are a respectable knight."

If even the Grand Master of the Royal Guard Knights has said so, then who in the kingdom would not acknowledge Fang Li as a knight?

"I am very happy." Reinhard said to Fang Li with a genuine smile, "I am also very honored that my friend is such an amazing person."

"Well, someone who can draw the Dragon Sword can't possibly be a treacherous villain." Felix blinked and said playfully, "Although, we never expected that Fang Li Liqin would actually go to this extent."

Felix's words made both Reinhard and Julius chuckle.

Surely, not only the people here, but everyone who was in the audience hall just now would not have imagined that Fang Li could do this much.

"And then?" Fang Li asked directly, "These three renowned Royal Guard Knight didn't come here just to flatter me, did they?"

Upon hearing this, Reinhard, Julius, and Felix all stood up with serious expressions.

Immediately, Julius spoke.

"We are here because the commander gave us orders."

The most outstanding knight, equivalent to the vice-commander of the Royal Guard Knights, made this declaration to Fang Li.

"We've come to invite you."

"You are invited to join the Royal Guard Knights."

The Knight Order ' barracks were located in a place adjacent to the royal city.

At this moment, in the commander's office, Marcos stood with his back to the door, looking out the window at the royal city.

At some point, the door to the commander's office was opened.

I think of no one else but Fang Li.

The guides were Reinhard, Julius, and Felix.

"Are they here?"

Marcos turned around and looked towards the door.

Because there was a desk in front of him, he was a certain distance away from Fang Li.

However, Marcos's upright and unyielding face wore a smile.

Under these circumstances, Reinhard, Julius, and Felix all gave Marcos a knightly salute and reported in unison.

"Commander, Knight Fang Li has arrived."

Whether it was the cheerful Reinhard, the elegant Julius, or the playful Felix, they all performed the most formal courtesies on this formal occasion.

This proves that the group indeed took Fang Li's matter very seriously.

Although Fang Li didn't feel flattered, he could still sense the knights' goodwill.

So, Fang Li looked up at Marcos and, without any beating around the bush, got straight to the point.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Marcos, but why do you want to invite me to join the Royal Guard Knights at this time?"

Now that the Royal Selection has officially begun, in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Li is already Emilia's knight, and his true duty should be to assist Emilia.

In this way, joining the Royal Guard Knights would only be a nominal title.

After all, in addition to being directly subordinate to the royal family, the Royal Guard Knights, being the superior organization of the Royal Knights, also had the responsibility of leading knights and guards to maintain order in the kingdom.

"At this critical juncture, rather than joining the Royal Guard Knights and being distracted by the duties of the Knight Order, it would be better to focus on assisting the candidate for the throne."

Fang Li directly stated his thoughts.

"In addition, I also have my own things to take care of, and I really have no intention of taking on any more tasks."

The implication, of course, is that he will not join the Royal Guard Knights.

However, as if he had anticipated Fang Li 'Fang Li, Marcos closed his eyes, nodded, and uttered those words.

"I can understand Fang Li Li's thoughts, so we intend to invite you to join our Royal Guard Knights in the name of Honorary Knights."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li raised an eyebrow slightly.

"An honorary knight?" Fang Li pressed, "So, I'm only nominally joining the Royal Guard Knights, and I don't need to take on any duties within the Royal Guard Knights?"

"That's right," Marcos replied. "So you don't need to worry about the affairs of the Royal Guard Knights. Unless there is an emergency, you will only enjoy the rights of Royal Guard Knight."

If one doesn't need to worry about their position but still enjoys the rights, then the identity of Royal Guard Knight would only bring benefits and no drawbacks for Fang Li.

Fang Li pondered for a moment, and after considering it, nodded.

"I understand. If that's the case, then I'll join the Royal Guard Knights."

When these words came from Fang Li's mouth, the first person to react was not anyone present, but the system notification sound that resounded in their mind.

"Number 11273 joined the Royal Guard Knights of Dragon-Affiliated Kingdom of Lugnica and received the title of Royal Guard Knight."
