Because there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
When Montgomery saw the soldiers, they saw him and immediately saluted him.
"Lord Menggote!"
Menggete nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Are you on patrol? Who organized you?"
Even if these soldiers converted to a different faith, how could they patrol the city without any organization?
A leading soldier stepped forward and declared, "This is Lord Montget of my organization."
Meng Ge nodded, signaling the other person to continue.
The soldier immediately replied, "We... have embraced the new laws."
Montgomery remained silent.
The soldier continued, "Since the law was changed, no new king has appeared, but the royal city has been filled with believers in the law."
"As soldiers, we felt it was necessary to maintain basic order, so I organized this patrol. My apologies, Lord Montgomery."
Menggete nodded. "...Your idea is correct. Then this region is entrusted to you."
"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.
......
Mongot ascended to the top of the palace, overlooking the entire city. He saw countless believers wandering within and outside the city, bowing deeply towards the Silver Tree, offering their faith. Those devout faces and resolute eyes stirred a complex emotion within Mongot.
After a long silence, Montgomery muttered to himself, "Foolishness."
Just then, a voice rang out from behind Mongot, "That's why they need someone to guide them, like a king."
Mongot turned his head to look behind him and saw Xiling and Kevin walking down the steps.
When Xiling saw Montgomery turn around at the door, she immediately waved and said, "Good morning, Montgomery!"
Mongot placed his hands on his chest, intending to perform the obeisance a subject would show to a king, but was stopped by Xiling's gesture.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiling said impatiently. "I'm just a regent; you don't need to bow to me."
Even if I'm just an agent, I should still offer my courtesy.
This is Montgomery, a tribute to the king from the Elden Ring.
Reluctantly accepting the other party's courtesy, Xiling only spoke with a sigh after seeing Menggete straighten up again, "Thank you for making the trip. A-Tui has already told me about your matter. Just do it your way. As for the follow-up, we'll talk about it later. I have something to do now. You should get some rest."
Leaving those words behind, Xiling and Kevin continued forward, bypassing Menggot and heading down the stairs. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving Menggot standing alone, gazing in the direction they had gone with a complex expression.
After a long while, Montgomery murmured, "Get some rest... Yes, maybe I really should get some rest." His voice carried a hint of weariness and relief as he imagined lying on a soft bed, letting his body and mind completely relax, forgetting all the tedious matters, not worrying about the unknown tomorrow, and simply immersing himself in a peaceful dream, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
......
Xiling and Kevin patrolled their territory like two lions.
Their goal in coming here was to find someone who could help them complete the Holy Scripture. After a long time, Xiling, who had awakened her heroic nature, quickly found her target, and so this scene unfolded.
"Master, Master, please say something! Don't be like this! The Golden Law is good, but our Silver Law is just as good!" Xiling grabbed the arm of a somewhat thin man, preventing him from leaving.
The person Xiling was holding didn't say anything, but there was another person holding Xiling's arm.
"Sir! Please release the teacher! Please have some self-respect!" Colin's voice was strained from the effort, and the heavy metal collar around his neck swayed, making a dull thud.
But who is Xiling?
He is the hero destined to save the world! He is the uncrowned king of the Silver Law!
What Xiling wants is for the wheel of fate to turn in her favor!
So Xiling tightened her grip on the golden mask. "No, we're not asking you to change your faith! That would be so uncouth! It's just a small matter—please do us the favor of compiling a legal code, just a rough draft for us to refer to!"
Colin was somewhat helpless. He and his teacher had been constantly calculating the melody of the Golden Tree, but the changes in the Golden Tree made them rush to the royal city to try to investigate. However, before they could find anything out, they were stopped by someone. The white-haired man who gave off a holy aura rushed out and hugged his teacher's arm.
He called out to his teacher, hoping that his teacher would write a code of law for him to refer to. Things were happening so fast that Colin didn't have much time to think about what was going on. He just kept trying to pull people away.
When Kevin arrived at the scene, he saw three men violently tearing at each other, seemingly entangled in a deep emotional conflict.
Kevin shook his head vigorously, trying to banish those absurd thoughts from his mind.
"I think I caught Xiling's bad habit, that's why I thought of such a bizarre thing," Kevin muttered to himself, blaming Xiling for everything.
Immediately, he stepped forward, ready to intervene in this inexplicable dispute.
When Xiling saw Kevin, it was like seeing a savior. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she shouted, "Kevin, come and help me!"
"Another one?" Colin was just about to unleash his prayers and show these guys they weren't pushovers...
Kevin immediately reached out and supported Xiling...
Xiling blinked, looking at Kevin with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "You...you must have arrested the wrong person?"
Kevin rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Do you think that's possible?"
Colin never expected that the person Xiling had called would actually be there to help him.
He nodded to Kevin and simply said, "Thank you."
Kevin shook his head, indicating his understanding: "We were in the wrong first, I hope we didn't scare you."
It would be a lie to say he wasn't scared, Colin shook his head.
Seeing that the other party's emotions had calmed down, Kevin then spoke, "My partner should have explained the whole story to you earlier, right?"
Kevin felt that when he said those words, the person being held suddenly stopped moving, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Almost instinctively, a thought surged into Kevin's mind.
"Something's wrong!"
As expected, Colin, who was blindfolded, shook his head. "Sorry, your partner grabbed my teacher without explaining why."
At that moment, Xiling felt Kevin's body begin to radiate a scorching heat.
Xiling stiffly turned her head and looked into Kevin's eyes. At that moment, Xiling realized that Kevin had changed. He seemed to have traveled through time and arrived 5 years in the future. His eyes were completely calm, like a block of ice. Xiling, who was facing this block of ice, twitched her lips.
"Actually, I can explain it."
Kevin looked at Xiling speechlessly. This girl was probably writing the holy book like crazy last night. Now was not the time to deal with this embarrassing guy. Releasing Xiling's hand, Kevin said, "Explain things to her."
After stretching her arms slightly, Xiling gave a greeting to the golden mask and Colin, and then:
"Nice to meet you both. Please give me a moment to introduce myself."
The air seemed to have become thicker, and even the wind had stopped blowing.
Xiling also spoke at this moment, his words seemingly carrying a heavy weight.
"My name is Xiling, and also—"
"—The current King of Elden, the ruler of the Silver Law."
silence.
Deathly silence.
The air seemed to freeze, so heavy you could almost hear the dust settling on the ground. Colin felt as if his brain had been struck by an invisible giant hammer.
“The current…the current King of Elden?! The King of the Silver Law?!” Colin’s lips moved uncontrollably as he repeated these words that were enough to overturn his understanding.
What is the other person saying?
The current King of Elden!
The King of Silver Laws!
Impossible! He instinctively wanted to deny it. The being who had fought a mythical battle with the Black Sword Maricus last night and was finally crowned must have been so majestic and sacred, as eternal and sublime as the Golden Tree! How could it be... how could it be this guy who suddenly jumped out and acted like the most impetuous apprentice!
Colin's mind went blank, utterly stunned. Shock, doubt, a sense of absurdity, and a touch of bewilderment, numb from the stark contrast, intertwined and solidified on his face. His mouth was open, but no meaningful sound came out; all his cognition was forcibly torn apart and reassembled in that instant.
In this almost suffocating silence, just as Colin's worldview was crumbling—
The golden mask, which had remained almost sculpted and silent, moved.
There were no words, no extraneous emotional fluctuations. His face slowly turned towards Xiling, his movements fluid and precise, as if following some invisible law.
He leaned his body towards Xiling, slowly and deeply bending down.
"I offer you my highest respect, King of Elden"
"I also offer you my respect," Xiling said, bowing slightly to the golden mask.
When the two straightened up again, the atmosphere was completely different.
The previous chaos, shock, and embarrassment were replaced by a more solemn and formal atmosphere.
A long-awaited, truly meaningful conversation began.
The golden mask reads, "Are you looking for me?"
It's not a question, it's a statement. It's a conclusion drawn from the deduction.
“Yes, Master,” Xiling’s voice was clear and firm, carrying an undeniable determination, “just as I was trying to express, I need your help.”
Xiling's gaze shifted to the silver tree that stretched across the sky.
"The Golden Law is a thing of the past; a new era has begun. The Silver Order is taking root, and someone must guide it..."
Colin held his breath. The young man, who had been dragged around by Kevin not long ago and acted like a clumsy apprentice, now stood under the radiance of the Silver Tree, his figure seemingly growing taller. That seriousness, that sharp insight that penetrated phenomena to the essence, that heavy sense of responsibility as a king to guide... it was so real, so dazzling, completely different from his previous image.
The golden mask remained motionless, like a statue listening to divine pronouncements. He seemed to have grasped a deeper chain of logic in Xiling's words.
“Therefore,” the golden-masked voice remained as cold as a formulaic deduction, yet it precisely struck at the core of Xiling’s words, “you want me to help you complete the ‘Code.’”
This was a deduction, not a question; he understood the essence of what Xiling sought—not power, not the art of domination, but a beacon of thought, the cornerstone of order.
"Yes! Master, I need your wisdom and your reason! I implore you to help me complete this 'Holy Scripture,' which will lay the foundation for the Silver Age order!"
"I need to witness the brilliance of silver."
“It should be so”

Chapter 41 Gold and Silver
They returned to the meeting room, but this time there were three more people. There were supposed to be two guys who had just woken up, but before the meeting bell even rang, those two guys slammed their heads on the table and started snoring almost simultaneously, sounding incredibly relaxed.
