This is the dirtiest dark street in the Edith Empire, where fights, killings, robberies, and strong people can be seen everywhere. Violence and other things, there is no law and morality, and even human nature is annihilated, and every ugly thing in the world can happen here.

Originally, it was not called Dark Street, but it also had its own name when Cabel City, the capital of the Edith Empire, was established. However, I don't know when it began, it became a place of mixed races, and later, with the arrival of disease, poverty, and bad luck, the street changed dramatically, and even the empire abandoned it, so I don't know how many years later, people have forgotten its original name and given it a new name: Dark Street, which means a qiē breeding place for the source of darkness.

The dark streets are inhabited by humans of all professions, and only the world can imagine. However, the majority are still raged beggars and the poor.

In the Edith Empire, poverty can trample on the world's beliefs and perseverance.

However, there is something different in the dark street today, and the dark street, which was originally lifeless and gloomy, suddenly becomes lively.

A pair of eyes peeked out from the dark and low dilapidated houses in the dark street, and when they saw a group of people wearing the clothes of the Knights of the Temple of Light walking in from the intersection leading to Turner Street, everyone's eyes flickered a little, and some of them even quickly retracted their heads, for fear of accidentally offending the people of the Temple of Light who were now in full swing and making themselves unlucky.

"I heard that today the Temple of Light is going to the Dark Street to select talented Knights of Light!" A hoarse voice rang out suddenly.

The voice finally solved everyone's doubts, and suddenly everyone's eyes flickered, and some people who were eager to leave the dark street secretly planned. There are also those who have lived in the dark streets for generations and have children here who have given birth to children in their eyes, hoping that the Temple of Light will choose their children and free them from the poverty and doom here.

It was in this agitation that the personnel of the Temple of Light arrived.

Everyone's eyes saw that the clergy young man in black robes was escorted into the dirty dark street by a group of knights of light, and the clergy holding the "Holy Book" had a light expression and a compassionate smile on his face, revealing a kind of God's love for the world and tolerance everywhere he looked, as if he turned a blind eye to the filth and filth of the dark street.

When the people from the Temple of Light approached, everyone found that in addition to the young man walking in front, there was also a boy about seven or eight years old behind him, and when they saw the boy's appearance, everyone gasped.

The boy had silver moon-colored hair as silky as silk, which was softly draped over his shoulders, and a small face with a little baby fat, delicate facial features, red lips and white teeth, and skin as white as fine porcelain. The boy was dressed in a well-fitting clergyman's robe, which made one guess that he should be the candidate priest in the temple, and at this time there was a faint smile on his little face, which obviously looked indifferent and dustless, but when he looked at him, he could feel the extreme gentleness, and even his heart was ironed as if his heart had been washed.

The boy walked calmly, every move, all of them were marked with excellent bearing, every step was measured by a ruler, and it could be called exemplary, although he followed the young clergyman, but it gave people the feeling that the young man was just the guide, he was the moon guarded by the stars.

As they passed, the people who were hiding in the shadows remembered their purpose, and looked at him with a blank eye as the young clergy stopped.

The young man smiled at the crowd, spread out the holy book in his hand, and said to them gently, "My name is Seth. Vaal, the priest of the Temple of Light, I believe you already know what I am here for. We have been guided by the Goddess of Light to find the Knight of Light, and if he can pass the test of the Temple of Light, he can follow us to the Temple of Light, and the Goddess of Light will bless him. ”

Seth's words confirmed the previous rumors, and the people in the dark street became excited, and their greedy or gloomy, numb eyes changed, and they rushed to tell each other, and then under the arrangement of those knights of the Temple of Light, they lined up to test according to Seth's words.

The Temple of Light will go to all parts of the Olawen Continent every three years to select the Knights of Light, and the age of the selected objects ranges from three to fifteen years old, and the location is different each time.

Unexpectedly, this year, the dark street was designated as one of the places where the god of light chose the knight of light, although I don't know why the goddess of light would send down this kind of oracle, but in the hearts of humans who believe in the goddess of light, it must be the goddess of light who knows that there are knights of the temple of light. The Goddess of Light is omnipotent, so the people who come to the queue have a lot of confidence in the Temple of Light and don't think that the Temple of Light is fooling them.

Just when Seth was holding a light stone the size of a baby's fist to test the light fighting spirit of the children in line, suddenly there was a commotion outside the crowd, Seth frowned slightly, and immediately looked at the boy who was protected by the Knight of Light, and saw that he was still sitting indifferently on the beautifully carved chair, holding a "holy book" in his hand and looking down to read it, as if ignoring the noise of the world, and his heart was relieved.

The others had already noticed the boy, but because Seth didn't introduce him, when they saw that the Knight of Light was protecting him as if they were protecting him, they couldn't guess the boy's identity.

However, Seth let go of his breath too quickly.

A figure swooped down like a ghost in front of the boy who was being guarded by the Knight of Light, and fell heavily at his feet.

When the Knight of Light reacted, he was startled, and when he drew his sword and was about to kill the man who had fallen in front of the boy, a voice sounded.

"Wait!"

The sword rested on the back of the man on the ground, and the tip of the sword had pierced the man's clothes.

The Knight of Light looked at the boy and said suspiciously, "Your Excellency, he ......"

The boy didn't hear it, as if he was very attentive to the child who suddenly jumped to his heels, and as if his eyes passed through him to look at time and space, presented in front of everyone, it was a kind of gentleness and loftiness like moonlight, the cherry lips opened slightly, and the voice seemed to carry the boy's unique immaturity, but it was very gentle.

The child who pounced on him looked about three or four years old, with a thin body, blonde hair that was dull and dull because of malnutrition, and naked. The skin outside the exposed clothes was also covered with dirt and dirt, which contrasted strongly with the neatness and beauty of the boy sitting in the chair.

One is like in the clouds, the other is like in the sludge.

"Would you like to be a paladin in the Temple of Light?"

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and their incredible eyes looked at the boy and the child lying on the ground. Paladin, the paladin who guards the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light, chose such a filthy imp? And who is this boy, and what right does he have to pick a paladin?

In fact, the boy did not notice the surprise of the people around him, but looked at the child who had fallen to the ground, and his eyes went from the tattered and dirty clothes to the face he could not see, only the captain's blue eyes were as bright and scorching as the sky in early summer.

Well, about three or four years old, the age is still young, so it is good, and it can be cultivated into a loyal little brother, which is much better than the paladins who are forcibly assigned by the temple and do not know the degree of loyalty.

Boy-Jian Lu nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and when the child at his feet raised his head, he showed a gentle smile like the moon that seemed to have been engraved on his face, as lofty and distant as the moon god, and also seemed to be engraved in the hearts of the people around him.

And this smile is also engraved in the hearts of children on the ground.

Jian Lu was very excited, he finally found the little brother he could cultivate, and felt that he had taken a step in this unscientific world, and he was happy. Under the gaze of Seth and Chris, the Knight of Light, Jian Lu, who had already been rippling in his heart, maintained a noble appearance, bent down, and pulled up the child who was as dirty as a beggar with a look of compassion like a god loving the world, and very gently took out a clover token and handed it to the child's thin and scarred palm.

Jian Lu was satisfied with the child's bright eyes, and when he saw such eyes, he knew that the child was still simple and easy to adjust. Teaching brainwashing, the smile on his face was more perfect, and he asked, "What's your name?" How old are you? ”

“…… Five-year-old, Hines. ”

Haines?

This name is a little familiar, Jian Lu's heart moved, and a transparent screen appeared in front of him that only he could see, and the screen faithfully fed back the child's information.

Haines. Saint. Stukart, one of the plot characters, Murder Potential: 10000, Current Cruelty Value: 80.
