The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1154 - 346: For Saint Sis! For Colin!

"Saint Sis above... please... please bless this pure, kind, and brave child."

Lucian blushed and complained as he accepted the envelope.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Can you change your address when you're greeting Saint Sis?"

Anna glared at him with wide eyes.

"Shut up, don't interrupt my prayer!"

...

The next morning, at the Holy City's port, the sea breeze carried a salty, moist scent mingled with the bustling sounds of people.

Newsboys ran through the streets, waving newspapers and shouting.

"Take a look! Get the latest news from the New World! Baron Cosia's adventure story has been updated! This time, he encountered a pretty Lizardman girl in the jungle, thanks to her help he survived! That snake was really venomous!"

A group of gentlemen with bowler hats, upon hearing the update of "Baron Cosia's Drifting Story," halted their steps and hurried over.

"Lizardman?!"

"Pretty?!"

"This... give me a copy to see!"

The newsboy was surrounded and the newspapers in his satchel were quickly snatched away.

Sitting in the carriage, Lucian glanced at this scene, feeling an itch in his heart, wanting to buy a copy to see.

However, thinking about how he was about to set foot on that continent himself, he held his excitement.

Registering was the priority!

The carriage rode through the bustling streets and stopped outside the port of the Holy City.

Following Lucian's steps, Edmond and Madam Anna got off the carriage one after another.

Looking at their eldest son in high spirits and full of energy, both of their eyes were filled with reluctance and worry.

They always considered themselves young, until this moment, when they realized they had aged.

"Lucian, my child," Anna adjusted her son's collar once more, her eyes red, speaking in a choked voice, "Take care of yourself over there, remember to write us letters regularly."

Edmond, on the other hand, stared at him and reminded him again.

"If anything happens, remember to find your Uncle Colin, write to him, don't feel embarrassed. Also, anything or any help he gives you, accept it politely, then sincerely express your thanks... Remember, he helps you because he values you, if you're too aloof it would be ungrateful. Lastly... keep your distance from Lizardmen!"

"Don't worry, I know it all!" Lucian said, a confident smile on his face, giving his mother a strong hug, "I will become a true Knight, spreading the glory of the Dantes family across the continent!"

"That means nothing to us, we just want you safe, really... go ahead, my child, we'll be waiting here for you." Anna said with teary eyes, looking at him.

"I will be safe! Besides, it matters a lot to me!"

Lucian smiled confidently, turned, and gave his father a hug as well.

Edmond said nothing more, just gave him a firm pat on the back, all his advice and expectations encapsulated in silence.

After saying farewell to his parents, Lucian turned away, raised his head, and walked toward the temporarily erected registration office at the port without hesitation.

His silhouette resembled that of a young warrior heading to the battlefield, his eyes filled with endless anticipation for the future.

There were many young men like him, the open space in front of the port was already crowded, just as when Prince Colin had first stepped onto this port... as if those chasing his footsteps had returned here.

With the support of the Valencia Family and the Regent King, the Holy Temple Knight Order's office was set up at the most conspicuous spot at the port.

A flag painted with a red cross hung at the position of the temporary registration office, making it easily noticeable at a glance.

The queue in front of the registration office was packed, stretching from the wooden house door to the pontoon of the dock.

They were about the same age as Lucian, also around seventeen to twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

And just like Lucian, they all wore expressions of pride, some accompanied by their parents, while others carried heavy luggage... presumably from far away.

In line, he could clearly hear the excited discussions around him among the young men.

"Hey! Jimmy! Which regiment are you assigned to? I'm in the third regiment!"

"Haha! I'm lucky, I'm in the first regiment! Our destination is New John Port! I heard it's a fjord, the scenery must be beautiful!"

"Awesome! From today on, we'll all be knights!"

Listening to these energetic conversations, Lucian felt his blood boiling.

So much so that the last remaining traces of anxiety and uncertainty about the future in his heart were largely swept away in the fervent atmosphere of the bustling crowd.

Of course, not all stories at the port were happy ones, some walked out of the registration office dejectedly.

They either failed the physical requirements or for some other reasons, were ruthlessly eliminated.

Seeing this, Lucian couldn't help but feel a tinge of nervousness rising within him.

His strength was average, just newly awakened with the Black Iron Level of Extraordinary Power, slightly stronger than ordinary people, and practiced the most common Basic Martial Skills of the Holy City.

If he were a Mage, perhaps he would have a better chance of being selected... at least he wouldn't have to compete with those Adventurers.

The long line moved slowly forward, and finally, it was his turn.

With an anxious heart, Lucian handed over the pre-filled form.
