Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 239: The country of knights

Spring is a season of recovery, and spring is also a busy season.

Nowadays, the entire territory is full of enthusiasm, and new buildings are erected from time to time, and the roofs are completed. Others who are busy with farming, mining, and felling, have already been working on each post step by step.

"I must complete the task outstandingly. This is the trust and entrustment of Lord Lord." Goblin Scott wiped the perspiration from his forehead at the material distribution point, constantly encouraging himself in his heart.

Although there were others like Tanal and Linda helping out, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat.

Most of the materials in the territory have to go from the material distribution point, whether it is the distribution of agricultural tools and tools, or food, clothing, weapons or even many trivial things, enough to imagine how busy this place is.

Moreover, issuance and registration are only one aspect, and the modification and calculation of the instant merit value are the most onerous tasks.

Since coming to settle down in this territory, Scott has always been grateful and always diligent at work. Looking at the busy and fulfilling scene around him, every time he thinks that he is one of the participants and witnesses, Scott is always excited and can't help himself.

For this set of meritorious service implemented by Lord Lord, Scott was full of keen interest in his heart. In his spare time, he always subconsciously extended his thoughts, delusional to figure out the deep meaning of Lord Lord behind this.

It is a pity that Sol never told anyone that he was actually just because the currency in his hand was not enough, and it was not enough to support the economic circulation of the entire territory at the beginning, so he thought of such a crooked idea.

Virtual feats, on the one hand, can maintain the spirit of leading the people, on the other hand, it can bind the hearts of the people to curb the population loss, that's all.

The reason why Scott feels busy right now is because there are not many reliable figures in the territory, such as the outstanding lady Beth, or the mysterious lord, where are they going?

Somewhere in the dim sewer, a secret door is emitting a soft blue light, and the four figures of Thor, Beth, Stanter, and Diller walked out of the blue light one after another.

"Which idiot opened the door in such a disgusting place?" Diller complained and covered his nose as soon as he stepped out of the door.

"When a halfling comes to this environment, shouldn't there be a kind of intimacy of going home?" Stant stabbed happily.

The environment here is really terrible, dim and muddy, rats and cockroaches scurrying around. The smelly smell peculiar to the sewer was floating in the air, and the filth that drifted by from time to time could be seen in the faintly flowing undercurrent next to it.

The secret doors that Sol encountered in the past were all opened in cellars, barns, or dilapidated empty houses, and the owner of this door was obviously very thoughtful and chose a special place like the sewer.

This door was discovered by Thor. After entering the secret realm of the samsara dungeon, the four of them dispersed and entered different doors.

By inquiring about the news from the local residents, we can find the door to the secret realm of Byron Bian, the emperor of the kingdom of knights, and make a bet. Whoever finds it first can enjoy the treatment of other people squeezing their backs and legs.

Sol was lucky and took the lead.

Ignoring the two guys, Stant and Diller, who fell in love with each other behind him, Thor carried a sword with his hands in his coat pockets, and walked in front to lead the way. Beth slightly covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and held Thor tightly with the other.

The two people cuddling leisurely, no matter where they are adventurous, it looks like they are going out for fun.

In fact, it's almost the same, Sol just brought everyone to play,...well, by the way, get some money.

Funding has become an urgent issue in the current territory, and it affects many aspects of the territory.

Without sufficient funds, relevant materials cannot be replenished in time, trade and markets cannot be opened as scheduled, and even in terms of introducing talents, there is no capital for inviting others to settle in the territory.

After all, the meritorious system is okay to defraud the poor and white citizens in the territory, but it may not be effective for people imported from other places who are accustomed to the currency system.

This time I came to Byron Bian, the main purpose is to make money. As for how to make Sol, I have no idea for the time being. I'm going to take a look first.

The choice of means should be one of the shortcuts such as stealing and cheating, because the rapid construction of the territory can not give Sol too much time to plan.

Bringing Diller and Stanter, on the one hand, is to make things easier, and on the other hand, to increase your own risk tolerance. After all, these insignificant methods have corresponding risks. In case of an accident, you must always have some strength to ensure that you are fully retired here.

As for bringing Bess, it was because Little Shiitake had been bored in the territory for too long, which happened to bring her out to relax.

Following the path he had explored before, Thor took the three of them around the sewer a few turns, and quickly came to the ground.

Although everyone was only in a cramped laneway in a certain slum area at the moment, as the vision suddenly widened and brightened, everyone was a bit shocked, and the prosperity of the blockbuster was already visible.

Saul, who spent a while in Odrensa, didn't touch that much. His eyes were more of appreciation.

The area of ​​the ancient city of Byron Bian is no less than that of the southern main city of Odrensa. Needless to say, the streets are wide and tidy, paved with regular stones, and the city’s bright lights are unexpected. in.

However, in Saul's view, the main difference between this and other major cities lies in the architectural style.

Looking at it, there are many spires, and the buildings under the spires are mostly cylindrical castle-like styles. The dark blue spire, matched with the gray brick color of the building itself, reveals a rigorous and simple beauty in the faint lights.

In fact, Sol has seen a lot of such spires in the north and south. The biggest difference is actually above the spire.

Regardless of whether it is a private residence or some public magnificent buildings over the southern border, most of them are decorated with statues. For example, on the roof above the door lintel, or on the top of a steeple building, statues of various sizes abound.

Types of statues Thor has seen angels, demons, gargoyles, miniature dragons, and goddesses. In short, there are many kinds of statues. As for the symbolic meaning or purpose of those statues, Thor has not studied.

On the side of Byron Bian, there are almost no decorative statues. There are only countless flags of various colors flying in the wind on the spire building, as if to tell the ancient and glory of the city.

The words ancient and glory are absolutely affordable by Byron Bian, after all, the ancient profession of knights can be traced back to the kingdom period. They have a long history and a long history, but after the dark calendar came, the knight profession gradually declined.

Today, only Byron Bian on the mainland still retains the complete knight heritage.

They are neutral and settled in a corner of the mainland, calm and windless for many years.

It’s not enough for the whole people to be soldiers, but various knights can be seen on the streets of Byron Bian at any time. Some are wearing half feather helmets and bright armor behind them, wearing various cloaks, and some are sitting on horseback. Ostentatious.

The three Solstand Dillers, three third-tiers, are undoubtedly only an ant-like gang here in Byron Bian.

When I first met an old man who taught his swordsmanship in Gray Screen, Thor once discussed the profession of knights with the old man.

In the past, Saul had always thought that the origin of the knight profession came from their knight principles or beliefs, that is, humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, spirit, or soul.

But after making this statement, the old man gave Saul a "nonsense" evaluation.

The old man said that for a true knight, abiding by his own professional standards is only the basic, the most important thing is that he must be equipped with a horse, both of which are indispensable. Even from a historically rigorous point of view, the second point is the true criterion of the knight profession.

The knight was born in the ancient kingdom. At first, there were no knights in the kingdom, only warriors or soldiers.

Later, with the development and evolution of the form of warfare, people discovered that the soldiers riding on horses were more lethal. This gave birth to the embryonic form of the knights, and the knights came into being.

Later, this up-and-coming class gradually became the main combat force of the kingdom. From daily training and combat methods, activeness on the battlefield, and even the treatment enjoyed in the kingdom, the knight gradually distanced itself from other ordinary arms.

Every year, the king personally selects seven-year-old boys from the descendants of knights, so that they can learn how to become knight attendants. If you encounter years of insufficient population and combat power, this selection criterion will also be relaxed among civilians.

They will be taught proper manners and etiquette, and the old knight will teach them how to polish their armor and weapons.

By the age of fourteen, they officially became attendants.

An attendant prepares meals for the other knights, washes the clothes, and is responsible for dressing the knights.

When an attendant was promoted to a knight, the newly born knight president knelt in front of the icon and prayed for a long time. After that, he would also have his own attendant and wear his own guard with the help of his attendant. A, go to the church to be baptized.

Then, the priests would tap his shoulders with the blunt side of the sword to make him swear allegiance to the king.

The knight swore allegiance to the king and his people.

They will take a long time to put on heavy armor, and they also need continuous training, because the knight's code of honor contains the requirements to make their fighting skills increasingly perfect.

Occasionally, kings or officials will give a knight under his command an important task. The knight will often put life and death away. After completing the task at risk, the knight may receive a small manor near the kingdom as a reward.

So in the final analysis, the knight profession was born on horseback, because it was responsible for the main combat power of the kingdom. Later, the formalism of the knight principle was gradually added, which was nothing more than a trick to control the hearts of the people.

In other words, even if you are just an ordinary person, as long as you have a strong heart and a strong faith, you can also have the moral qualities of humility, integrity and compassion, and whether you are a knight or not has nothing to do with a copper coin.

In short, what the old man told Saul is that those moral qualities inherently exist in human nature and are not exclusive to knights, but the knight profession is forced to comply with formal requirements, so it does not rely on professional standards to determine whether a person is a knight or not. .

The warrior on the horse is the historical origin of the knight, and it is the exclusive feature of the knight profession.
