Chapter 1 Apprentice Knight Assessment (1)
Chapter 1: Assessment of the Assistant Knight (I) (《》)
Odin Town is located on the southern border of the Temple Alliance, with more than 3,000 households. It is considered a larger town among the Haoyue City.
As the sun rises, gently touching the earth with light and warmth, it also seems to be awakening life. At this time, an assessment is underway in a relatively large two-story building with an area of about thousands of square meters in the center of Odin Town.
"Tell me why you are knights." A strong and powerful voice sounded with a bit of metallic clanging sound.
"Protect human beings, protect kindness, guard the temple, protect relatives." The answer was neat and tender, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had answered this question.
This two-story building is the Knight Temple in Odin Town, referred to as the Odin Town, which is specifically responsible for selecting children who may become knights in Odin Town for training. More than thirty children standing here today will be assessed for the knight's initial title. Only by becoming a first-level knight serf can they continue to study and practice here.
The master of the thick voice was a tall and burly middle-aged man. His name was Balza, and he was the chief instructor of the knight attendant of Odinzi Temple. It is said that he was only a little short of being able to become a real knight.
"Tell me, what are the rules of the knight?" Balza looked sternly at the children in front of him who were generally living in Odin's town aged eight to ten.
The answers are still uniform, "humility, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, persistence, benevolence, justice."
Barza nodded slightly satisfied, "Very good. You have been practicing here for a year, and today is the time to receive the assessment. The corresponding spiritual power of the knight attendant level one to ten is ten to one hundred. Today, your mission is to reach spiritual power above ten and become a first-level knight attendant. All those who have successfully passed the assessment will continue to stay here for practice for three years, and then go to Haoyue City to participate in the assessment of the quasi-knight. Only when you become a quasi-knight like me can you truly be a part of the Knight Temple. Now, Jiang Hu."
"Yes." A tall boy walked out and took off the wooden sword behind him.
All the young men were equipped with the same equipment, each with a wooden sword that was three feet long, three inches wide and two inches thick. The assessment of the knight attendant was also very simple. There was something in front of Barza, which looked like a wooden pier. There was a stone trough connected behind the wooden pier, and there were stone beads in the stone trough. When hitting the wooden pier, the stone beads would vibrate. The amount of spiritual power would be evaluated according to the height of the vibrating vibration. It can be regarded as the most primitive tool to evaluate spiritual power. However, within one hundred spiritual power, it is still quite accurate.
Spiritual power is a general value for the Holy Demon Continent to evaluate the strength of all professions. Whether it is a knight, a magician or any other profession, the strength is evaluated with spiritual power. Generally speaking, ten points of spiritual power is equivalent to the power of a normal adult man.
"Ah--" Jiang Hu shouted loudly, holding the wooden sword in both hands, and slamming it hard on the wooden pier.
"Bang." The stone beads jumped up.
Barza nodded with satisfaction, holding the roster in his hand to record, and said at the same time: "Jiang Hu, spiritual power thirteen, pass. Next,..."
This assessment was carried out very quickly. In a short while, half of the people had completed it, and about half of them passed it.
"Long Haochen." When he called out this name, Barza subconsciously raised his head and his eyes were fixed on a young man with a somewhat thin figure.
Compared with others, the boy was obviously a little malnourished and thin, but he had an amazing face.
Naturally formed soft eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, straight nose bridge, fair skin, moderately thin lips. Even if he looks only eight or nine years old, he is so beautiful that it makes women crazy and jealous. Especially although he has black hair, he has clear blue eyes. If he changes into women's clothing, it will definitely be a charming look.
Long Haochen walked to Barza and did not take off the wooden sword first like others did. Instead, he clasped his fist with his right hand and placed it in his heart, bent down and bowed, and saluted: "Instructor."
Barza's originally serious gaze obviously softened a little, he nodded and said, "Let's start."
"yes."
After taking off the wooden sword, Long Haochen took a deep breath, suddenly swung the giant sword, and smashed it at the wooden pier with all his strength.
With a puff, the stone bead bounced. However, it obviously did not exceed ten scales.
Barza frowned suddenly, "Spiritual Power Nine, failed." From the extent of the wooden sword rebound, he could see that Long Haochen had indeed given his all, but he still failed to pass the assessment and became a attendant knight.
Long Haochen's handsome face suddenly turned red. He looked at Barza and said excitedly: "Instructor, I, I..."
Barza sighed slightly and said, "Go down."
Long Haochen said anxiously: "Instructor, give me another chance. I will definitely pass."
Barza frowned slightly and said, "But this is unfair to other people who have not passed."
Long Haochen suddenly fell silent, but in his eyes, there seemed to be another characteristic. Barza noticed his eyes. At this moment, the attendant knight instructor couldn't help but be stunned. What is that? Perseverance? Is the persistence among the ten rules of the knight? The ten rules of the knight are also the ten spirits of the knight. Even some real knights may not be able to see one of the shinings, but the child in front of him...
At this moment, Long Haochen had turned around and faced all the young men present, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said to these friends who had been training together for a year in an extremely earnest voice: "Please give me another chance." As he said, he actually bowed.
Barza was stunned, and the teenagers were also stunned. For those who were generally only eight or nine years old and the oldest was only eleven years old, they did not understand why Long Haochen was so persistent. In the eyes of most teenagers, it didn’t matter whether they became a servant knight or not.
There was something gradually in Barza's eyes. If he had changed to another child, he might have thought that the child was eager for quick success or cowardice, but he would not be able to treat Long Haochen. Because, although this handsome boy looked thin, he was the hardest one in the past year of training. Not only did he complete the necessary training every day well, he would come one hour in advance every morning and leave one hour later.
As a level 10 quasi-knight, Barza has been an instructor in Odin Town for ten years, but Long Haochen is the most diligent student he has ever seen. This young man never needs supervision. Not only does he train hard every day, he is also very gentle to others and is very good to everyone. When these friends who train with him ask him for help, he never refuses.
