Chapter 350 Honorary Grand Commander
Gu Chen was a little helpless at the time and could only accept the position of honorary grand leader.
Paimon, Xiangling, Shenhe, and Rosaline didn't care much about it. They planned to go and join in the fun.
Gu Chen had no objection, so he took them to the Knights Templar.
When Gu Chen entered the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, he was immediately met with a warm welcome from the Knights!
How to welcome you?
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of the salute being unscrewed with a bang!
Then, when Gu Chen was a little confused, the streamers from the salute fell down one after another, and many of them fell on Gu Chen's head.
While Gu Chen was still a little confused, he saw many knights, both familiar and unfamiliar, gathered together in the Knights' Hall.
Led by Qin, everyone applauded Gu Chen with smiles on their faces and congratulated him, saying words like congratulations.
In short, when Gu Chen looked around, he saw smiles and congratulations everywhere in the hall.
With a helpless smile, Gu Chen brushed off the ribbon floating on his head, then looked at everyone in the Knights:
“You guys really gave me a surprise.
I was really flattered to be welcomed as soon as I walked in.”
Amidst the cheers, Qin stepped out as a representative:
"Gu Chen, you are an important friend of our Mondstadt. You deserve this treatment."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Gu Chen looked at Qin:
"So, the ceremony to confer the title of Honorary Grand Master will be held here?"
Qin nodded seriously:
"Yes, right here."
Then she looked a little ashamed:
“In the beginning, I actually thought that choosing this venue was a bit hasty and disrespectful.
I had originally planned to set up a venue outside the Knights Templar to confer upon you the title of Honorary Grand Master in front of the people of Mondstadt.
But later Lisa said, based on your personality, you might not like such a high-profile approach.
So in the end, the venue was returned to the Knights."
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at Lisa, who was smiling in the crowd:
"Well, Lisa does understand me, I really don't like to be in the spotlight.
Let's just keep this a secret and grant me the honorary title of Grand Master. There's really no need to make it public."
Noelle stood aside and couldn't help but whispered:
"Senior, after the ceremony, we need to publicize the fact that you have become our honorary chief.
Everyone knows this will happen sooner or later."
Gu Chen was slightly stunned, then relieved:
“Oh, that’s right.
Never mind. "
After saying this, Gu Chen looked at Qin again:
"So, shall we begin the investiture ceremony now?"
Qin became slightly more serious:
“Yes, start now.
Gu Chen, please stand over here and face everyone."
As she said this, Qin invited Gu Chen to the stairs in the lobby on the first floor.
This location is right in front of the entire hall, with the best view and the easiest to attract attention. It is also where Qin usually convenes all members of the Knights Templar for brief meetings.
Even at this moment, the Knights had built a simple small platform at this location, which seemed to be specifically used for holding ceremonies.
Climbing onto the platform and standing in the center, Gu Chen looked at all the knights in front of him who were staring at him.
He remained calm and showed no sign of fear.
Qin's style has always been capable.
After standing next to Gu Chen, she didn't say any extra words or make any extra opening remarks. She just glanced at Noelle next to her.
Noelle understood immediately and brought over a tray with both hands.
Gu Chen glanced to the side and found a golden medal on the tray. He wondered what this medal was used for.
When Noelle came to Qin with the tray, Qin picked up the medal with both hands and then placed it in front of Gu Chen's chest.
Under Gu Chen's calm gaze, Qin said loudly with a serious and cautious tone:
“Gu Chen.
Now, I am Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius.
On behalf of Grand Master Falgar of the Knights of Favonius, on behalf of the entire Knights of Favonius, on behalf of all Mondstadt and Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, I grant you the position of Honorary Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.
Excuse me, are you willing to accept it?"
Listening to this series of representatives, Gu Chen smiled:
"I am willing to accept it. Thank you for the kindness of the Knights and Mond."
Qin's lips curled up into a relieved smile.
Under the eager gazes of everyone present and the expectant eyes of the Knights, Qin placed the glittering golden medal on Gu Chen's chest.
At this point, Gu Chen completely took over the position of Honorary Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius in Mond!
Seeing the ceremony completed, the audience burst into applause.
Some lively people even cheered loudly, and some more lively ones even joined in the crowd and whistled!
Such a lively situation inevitably attracted Gu Chen's attention.
Paimon flew the highest among the crowd, and the little guy cheered in the air.
Xiangling stood there jumping for joy, Shen He smiled quietly as always, and Rosaline was even quieter and more low-key.
Albedo was clapping quietly in the crowd, with a peaceful smile on his face.
Right next to Albedo, Klee was jumping up and down with her hands raised, obviously very happy.
Next to little Kelli was Eula, who was crossing her arms and slightly suppressing her joy. She seemed to be very happy as well.
Next to Eula was Amber, who was also cheering and looking happy. Amber seemed so happy that she almost threw the Earl Rabbit onto the stage!
And Lisa, the older sister, was also standing in the crowd with her arms folded and a smile on her face. There was a hint of affection in the look she gave Gu Chen.
Kaia stood a little further away with his hands on his hips, his eyes full of interest.
Seeing these friends, both known and unknown, all genuinely happy for him, Gu Chen was also in a very happy mood.
Gradually, the cheers that filled the entire hall finally died down.
As the cheers died down, Jean clapped her hands.
After drawing everyone's attention to herself, Qin suddenly suggested:
"Next, please allow our Honorary Grand Commander, Mr. Gu Chen, to speak a few words for us!"
The cheers that had just dissipated started again. The people in the audience were extremely excited and they looked at Gu Chen on the stage eagerly.
Gu Chen was inevitably caught off guard.
Looking at Qin who was causing trouble, Gu Chen looked helpless:
"Hey, no one told me there was a speech, and I didn't prepare a speech."
Kaiya in the audience started to stir up trouble loudly:
"Wouldn't it be fine if the Honorary Grand Commander just gave his speech without notes?
I believe that our Honorary Grand Commander will be fine!
Everyone, please allow our Honorary Grand Master to speak a few words!"
After saying that, Kaia was the first to applaud.
His applause was like a lead-in, and the entire hall was immediately filled with thunderous applause! Everyone present was extremely excited!
