Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing this, the Templar Knights looked at each other. “God-blessed Knight?”
“What’s going on? God-blessed Knights can bring in so many troops?”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen a knight who can bring in this many troops before.”
“Look at their horses, what kind of horses are these?”
Seeing the thick city gates open, Li Cheng did not say anything more and brought his troops into the city.
The system notification rang in his ears.
“Ding, dong, you’ve entered the City of Light. This city is only open to players from good and neutral camps. It’s strictly prohibited to fight with malice. Please, abide by the relevant laws!
“Ding, dong, respected God-blessed Knight, welcome to the City of Light. You’ll enjoy the following privileges in the city. One, troops will be stationed and provided with supplies for free. Two, you can recruit up to one hundred Templar Knights to temporarily join your territory. Three, you can receive the church’s supplies every month.”
“Not bad.” Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction. At this time, he had already arrived at the inner part of the City of Light. There were all kinds of buildings in good order here. The style of the buildings was also leaning toward the western Gothic style and most of them were pure white in color.

In the city, one could see the tallest and largest building at a glance—the Church of Light.
Li Cheng first brought his troops to the military camp of the Church of Light for supplies. As a God-blessed Knight, he could receive supplies for free. Not only was there free food, but there would also be free treatment from the church’s priests to boost morale.
“You guys rest first. I’ll come look for you after I’m done.”
“Yes!”
After Li Cheng gave some instructions, the two leading female heroes gladly accepted the order and went to the church alone.
The architectural layout of the Church of Light was not much different from his previous life. Li Cheng found the place with ease. Outside the church, there was a big bulletin board where players received quests.
Li Cheng did not check the quests on the mission board. Instead, he walked straight into the church. The two Templar Knights standing in front of the door immediately bowed when they saw him.
“Welcome, sir God-blessed Knight.”

Li Cheng nodded slightly in return. The interior of the Church of Light was littered with pure white marble pillars, each at least a hundred meters tall.
The interior of the church was also very spacious. Li Cheng did not encounter any obstacles along the way and soon found his target.
A young girl was praying in front of the statue of the God of Light. The girl’s golden hair reached her waist and she wore a pure white robe. She looked like she was only 16 or 17 years old and her delicate and young face was full of piety.
She was The Holy Maiden, Asilia. The Holy Maiden had the highest status in the church. Her ability was very simple. She could communicate with the God of Light. Asilia was also an NPC that players could exchange various equipment and items with.
Seeing Asilia praying, Li Cheng could only wait for her to finish.
A few minutes later, seeing that Asilia had ended her prayer, Li Cheng said, “Hello, Holy Maiden Asilia.”
“Hello, Sir Netherworld Knight. I’ve heard about your deeds from Knight Ryder. Thank you for your contribution.” Asilia’s voice was gentle, like the spring breeze.

She looked at Li Cheng with a smile, but her smile suddenly stopped. Asilia was a little surprised and her expression was at a loss.
She felt the aura of another god from Li Cheng’s body, and the aura was extremely strong.
What was going on? Asilia’s face was full of question marks.
Li Cheng could not be bothered to explain. He immediately said, “I’m here to exchange for the title of nobility, Your Excellency Asilia.”
Hearing this, Asilia did not answer immediately. She just blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Cheng curiously.
After staring at Li Cheng for a long time, she asked in a low voice, “Well… Won’t your Goddess be angry if you exchange for the title?”
As the Holy Maiden of the God of Light, she was familiar with the aura of Gods. Li Cheng’s aura was cool and cold, like the moonlight pouring down at night.
However, this aura was definitely not from the Moon Dance Goddess. She was not that weak, so other than her, there was only one other possibility.

Li Cheng was also a little confused when he heard Asilia’s words.
Angry? Who was angry? Trelafany? That weakling would be angry?
3
Li Cheng was a little speechless and said, “Cut the crap, Saintess Asilia, exchange my title.”
“Ah?” Alicia was stunned again, and then she said, “Oh, okay.”
She was a little dumbfounded. She felt that her little head was not enough to comprehend it. After all, Li Cheng was a believer of the Moon Dance Goddess, and he was the top believer. But now, Li Cheng wanted to exchange for the title from the God of Light.
What did this mean? Two-timing?
1
Li Cheng explained lazily. At this moment, a dialog box popped up in front of him.
[Ding, dong, please choose the title you want to exchange.]
[1. Baron, 100 million contribution points.]
[2. Viscount, 1 billion contribution points.]
1
[3. Count, 10 billion contribution points.]
[4. Marquis, 100 billion contribution points.]
[5. Duke, unknown!]
The corner of Li Cheng’s mouth could not help but twitch. This was too terrifying. Just the Count’s title alone required 10 billion contribution points.
No wonder no one was able to exchange for the Count title even 10 years later in his previous life. The requirement for the Duke’s title was even unknown.
1
At this time, Li Cheng’s contribution points could only be exchanged for the Viscount title, so he chose that.
2
[Ding, dong, you’ve successfully exchanged for the title of Viscount.]
2
[Ding, dong, Viscount privileges are as follows.]
[1. The Church of Light’s mission will not be restricted.]
[2. Your territory will be protected by the Church of Light.]
[3. Enjoy a 30% discount from the Church of Light’s shop.]
1
[4. Enjoy recruiting 10,000 Templar Knights, able to command a battle of a million knights.]
[5. Can issue missions to outsiders, with the highest being S-class mission, no more than 10 missions per month.]
[6. Participate in the high-level meetings of the Church of Light’s army.]
Li Cheng, who had been promoted to Viscount, had unlocked more privileges. Not only could he issue missions to the outside world, but he could also recruit up to 10,000 Templar Knights. In other words, he could directly recruit people from the church.
It was still legal, but Li Cheng did not know if he could recruit high-level troops from the church.
The church had Legendary and Crown troops. If he could recruit them, it would be a huge profit.
Moreover, the scale of battle that Li Cheng could command had reached a maximum of a million people. Such a scale of battle was already considered huge.
Moreover, he had also received a promise from the Church of Light saying that they would protect Li Cheng’s territory. As long as anyone dared to attack Li Cheng’s territory, they would become enemies with the Church of Light.
To ordinary players, this was tantamount to a dimensional blow. It could be said that as a Viscount, he was currently invincible.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Cheng continued to browse the Church of Light’s contribution points shop.
