The dock clerk was a middle-aged man with a face that had lost all enthusiasm for both work and life.
Without even looking up, he took the document, gave it a cursory glance, then retrieved a finely crafted emblem from the box beside him, pushing it forward along with the paperwork.
"Holy Temple Knight Order, First Group, location New John Port. Once you get there, someone will inform you who your superior is. Take this badge; from now on, you are a Knight."
His tone was as indifferent as handing out bread, starkly different from the enthusiastic clerk next to him.
However, Lucian didn't mind, as his attention was entirely focused on the badge symbolizing his Knight Order identity.
In the Aus Empire, the shield is one of the symbols of a Knight, and granting a shield is a tradition among many Imperial Knight Orders.
For instance, the Royal Knight Order does so!
Although this "shield" was a bit small... it could still be considered a shield!
