Chapter 5： knight

The atmosphere in the Bearded Tavern is still noisy and warm.

However, the atmosphere in the corner where the Saru people were located instantly stagnated.

"Riding... knight?" The old mercenary opened his mouth wide and looked at Colin in surprise.

He knew that Colin's identity was not simple, but he never thought he was a knight.

You must know that the knights of this world are fundamentally different from the warriors of the Bad Street.

Any well-developed civilian who can afford meat can learn how to inspire vindictiveness in the Warrior Union and become a fighter apprentice as long as he draws out a few silver coins.

But the knight is different.

In order to become a knight apprentice, you must first have a certain talent, and, more importantly, you must accept the baptism ceremony presided over by the pastor of the Glory Church.

is completely different from the baptism on the earth, which is only symbolic and can be sprinkled with water. The baptism ceremony in this world is in which the pastor of the Glory Church communicates with the Lord of Glory, and engraves the sacred mark on the baptized person.

This process is very expensive for the pastor. Therefore, the baptism ceremony that each pastor can preside in his life is limited.

Therefore, this kind of baptismal quota is extremely precious. It has basically been completely monopolized by the nobles, and it is almost impossible for civilians to reach it.

The rarity of knights can be imagined.

For example, Baron Anglia has only three loyal knights, plus the baron himself and his son Colin, and the entire baron has only five knights.

Among them, Colin has not even entered the ranks, and is currently only a knight apprentice.

Professionals in this world can be divided into ninth-tier according to their strength, with the first-tier being the weakest and the ninth-tier being the strongest.

Of course, there is an apprentice level below the first level, which is set for the novices who have not formally entered the level.

Knights and warriors of the same rank, in fact, the difference in combat power is not particularly big. The knights do have the advantage, but in a head-on confrontation, they may not necessarily win the warriors. After all, factors such as martial skills, will, weapons and equipment must be considered.

The real reason why nobles are eager for the profession of knight is actually because of its potential.

The apex of the warrior profession is Tier 6.

Yes, looking at the entire continent, there has never been a seventh-order warrior, whether it is a human, a troll, an orc, or an elves...none have ever existed.

According to the statement under the crown of the first Pope Peter Messer of the Church of Radiance—

"Mortals need the gifts of gods to enter the sanctuary."

The seventh-order or higher is the sanctuary, so the seventh-order knight is also called the Paladin.

Therefore, according to this statement, soldiers who have not received the baptism, of course, cannot obtain the gifts of the gods, and therefore have no relationship with the seventh rank.

At present, there are only five occupations that can break through the sixth rank in this world.

And without exception, it's all a profession that believes in a certain deity.

are the human knights who serve the Lord of Radiance, the troll warriors who serve the **** of war, the elven rangers who serve the goddess of fate, the naga royal guards who serve the **** of storm, and the orc skullcrushers who serve the **** of destruction.

Even those spellcasters who profess not to believe in gods and only believe in arcane truths cannot break through Tier 6.

However, they can release forbidden curses with powers of rank 7 or above.

But the release of such a forbidden spell requires the caster to pay an extremely terrible price, and it cannot be regarded as a conventional means of attack.

Of course, the sanctuary is definitely not that easy to enter for the knight.

Once a paladin is born in a family, the whole family will be very prominent because of it.

And all families that have been born with Paladins will receive the honor of being crowned with the word "Holy" before their family surnames.

For example, the Hilde family, the master of the northern border of the Glory Empire, is the descendant of the paladins of the founding state of the empire, so they are honored as the Saint Hilde family.

In the entire history of the Glorious Empire, only seven paladin families have appeared.

The difficulty of entering the sanctuary can be seen from this.

As for the eighth level, it is called the legendary realm.

Ghana Lorenzo, the founding emperor of the Glory Empire, is a Paladin in the legendary realm, and the only one recorded in history.

For more than a thousand years after him, there has never been a paladin entering the legendary realm.

Not to mention the ninth order.

Tier 9 is also known as the Demigod Realm, and it is said that only the dragon that once dominated this world can reach it. After their extinction, no race has been able to reborn a demigod powerhouse.

As for the ninth level, that is the realm of the gods...

In short, knights are noble and rare. It can even be said that they belong only to nobles. Obviously, they should appear in places like castles rather than bearded taverns.

Generally, no knight would choose to follow the mercenary group to another city. After all, they have their own subordinates, servants, and even an army.

Therefore, the appearance of Colin is particularly strange.

Just as the atmosphere in the corner became more and more serious, a small furry head suddenly emerged from Colin's shirt.

"Meow—" seems to be dissatisfied with being disturbed by his good night, the kitten "roars" at the beard.

Colin smiled slightly, shoved a guy who had gotten up into his clothes again, and then asked the beard: "How do you tell that I am a knight?"

Actually, Colin felt that he was already careful enough.

is not equipped with armor, the saber is just a standard one-handed sword that he can hold at hand, and the clothes are also "borrowed" from the uniforms of a guard who is similar to his body.

And, according to the memory of the predecessor, although the fighters and knights do have different fighting performances, UU reading www.uukanshu. com, but in the absence of a shot, there should be no difference.

What's more, for a knight apprentice like Colin who has not yet entered the ranks, since he can't inspire the Holy Light to assist in the fight, even if it really fights, it is no different from the warrior apprentice.

Is there really a way to distinguish these two professions?

Colin feels that this may be a blind spot in the knowledge of the predecessor.

But who knows, Saru smiled slyly: "Guess it."

be cheated!

Colin reacted immediately, he was fooled by this seemingly reckless and simple beard.

Mainly because this guy's appearance is too confusing.

Firefox mercenary group.

Ha ha, no wonder it's called this name.

looks like a violent bear, but is actually cunning like a fox.

"I have been in the mercenary world for more than forty years. I don't know how many people have been seen with these eyes. Hey, you kid, although you are plainly dressed, you don't look like a civilian at first sight. Sure enough, you will be exposed if you swindle. NS!"

Colin took a deep breath and kept reminding himself in his heart that he must be careful and careful when dealing with experienced old rivers and lakes like Saru.

However, on the surface, Colin appeared calm and composed, completely without the tension of his identity being exposed.

He first took out ten copper coins and threw them to the old mercenary in front of Saru, indicating that he could leave first.

Then he opened the chair next to Saru and sat down naturally, "I admit that the previous trick is really not appropriate. I apologize to you. However, you shouldn't refuse a knight to walk with you?"

"Your name?" Saru put a smile away and asked, staring into Colin's eyes.

Colin looked straight into Saru’s eyes and replied in the most sincere tone:

"Kahn, Kahn Suduo."
