When Li Qing and Gretel returned to the village, the villagers of Hunter Village had all gathered in the drying ground in the center of the village.

The imposing knight riding a tall horse, wearing chain mail and a knight's sword at his waist, was surrounded by a dozen soldiers, looking at the hundreds of hunter villagers in the field with arrogant eyes.

Gretel's parents, Luke and Hannah, as well as her grandfather, Hans Sr., were naturally among the crowd. Hannah's family, who knew what Gretel and Li Qing had done, saw the two of them carrying a bulging black leather package into the village, and saw that there were faint blood dripping under the black leather package, and their eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that Li Qing had already succeeded.

However, the situation is a bit delicate now, and Hannah's family didn't care about cheering and asking for details, so they beckoned to Gretel and Li Qing, and motioned for the two to come over.

Li Qing and Gretel squeezed into the crowd of whispering and arrived at Hannah's family. Hannah suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Tony, have you gotten rid of the Dark Devil?" ”

"It's not just that he drove away, Mr. Tony killed the Dark Bull." Gretel proudly raised the black leather package in her hand: "Look, this is a small piece of black devil cowhide, which is wrapped with the meat of the black devil cow. Mr. Tony said he was going to make me a pair of leather armor out of this black magic cowhide. ”

Hannah's family was excited, and just as they were about to spread the good news, they heard a rude voice ring: "Quiet! Listen to the Knights of Tucsembo! ”

"Tucson Slope...... Knight-sama? Hearing this name, Li Qinghao couldn't hold back a laugh and whispered, "Isn't that the chief knight of Baron Haimer?" What is he doing here? ”

"We don't know." Old Hans shook his head, squinted at the old knight of Tucson Po who was sitting on a big horse, and whispered, "But I don't think it's a good thing." ”

Li Qing and the others were talking in a whisper, and the villagers did not follow the orders of the soldiers under the command of the Tusenpo knights to be quiet, but still talked about themselves, and the drying field was full of the buzzing sound of flies flying.

It's no wonder that the hunter village is not the territory of Baron Haimer, and the villagers are not the lords of the baron, and most of the villagers are hunters, so their temperament is inevitably a little rebellious. So let alone the Tucson Slope Knights, even if Baron Hemmer was here in person, it would be difficult for the villagers to bow their heads to their ears.

In this world, the aristocracy has great power. Fiefdom nobles in their own domains, like kings of independent kingdoms, can make laws, build armies, and so on.

However, this is a world of extraordinary power, and the power of the nobility is awe-inspiring, but what can really make people fearful is the great power.

You must know that although the nobles hold the inheritance of knowledge and wealth, it is easier for them to obtain power than the commoners, but the commoners also have the means to obtain extraordinary power. In addition, there is the existence of the Church of the True God, so the nobility of this world does not have absolute authority. Nor are civilians lambs to be slaughtered.

Therefore, when a soldier speaks, he wants to quiet the hunters and listen to the instructions, which still seems to be wishful thinking.

Seeing that hundreds of villagers were talking non-stop, the Tucsembo knight, whose name was ridiculous to Li Qing, frowned, his eyes swept through the crowd for a while, and a pale red aura suddenly erupted on his body, and he said in a deep voice: "Quiet! ”

The Tucson Slope knight was of medium stature and did not look strong and burly, but when the pale red aura burst out from his body, a fierce and violent aura suddenly burst out from his body, sweeping through the audience like a violent wind. Under the wild sweep of the aura, the villagers who were talking about it on the field quieted down for a moment, and most of the villagers trembled as if they were startled by the thunder.

A few old people even fell to their knees with a limp.

There were only a few young hunters who were exceptionally burly and strong, and they were not so frightened that they trembled, but they were all pale and their eyes were full of awe.

"What's that?" The pale red aura that erupted on the Tucson Poe knight was very terrifying to ordinary people, and the aura alone could scare people into trembling, but for Li Qing, it was just like a light breeze.

However, Li Qing became a little interested in the pale red arrogance visible to the naked eye, and muttered to himself: "The legendary fighting spirit? Or is it qi and blood? How have I never seen it! ”

Li Qing can be regarded as having seen a lot of powerhouses in the other world, but he has really never seen such a legendary thing as "Douqi".

Whether it is the powerhouse of the other world who chased Li Qing from the other world to the earth, or the powerhouse of the east and west of the second earth, there is no such energy as fighting spirit. The warriors crisscross the battlefield, relying on monster-like strength and physique, and at most a few extraordinary skills that can be used as killer skills.

He also asked Su Su, but Su Su, who had ruled many planes and traveled to more planes, and even Su Su, who had been forced to swim in the Chaos Sea, had never seen a fighting spirit.

So seeing the arrogance that erupted on Tusenpo's body, which was highly similar to the "fighting spirit" described in the novel, Li Qing couldn't help but be very interested.

But soon, old Hans's slightly trembling voice revealed the truth about the pale red arrogance of the Tucson Slope knight: "Is this ...... Knight blood? Unexpectedly, the knights of Tucsembo actually awakened the blood of real knights......"

"Knight blood?" Li Qing's heart moved: "This term...... Is it the world's name for vindictiveness? No, the fighting spirit in the novel is an energy that can be cultivated. If the knight's bloodline was really the name of the fighting spirit in this world, then Old Hans would not have used the word awakening just now. ”

The so-called awakening must first have a deep sleep before there can be an awakening. It refers to something that is born and sleeps because of insufficient conditions, until it wakes up because of a certain opportunity. The premise of awakening is "born to be".

And the energy of fighting spirit is the result of arduous training, and it is not born with it.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Li Qing deduced that the knight's bloodline was by no means an energy of fighting spirit, but more like a genetic ability.

Sure enough, I heard a thin old man next to him whisper: "It is said that the knight bloodline of the Tusenpo family is called 'boiling blood'...... I also heard from an adventurer that I heard that there have been two generations of the Tusenpo family that have not been able to awaken the bloodline. I didn't expect this generation of Tucson Slope knights to awaken the real knight blood......"

The old man was shocked to his knees by the aura emitted by the Tucson Poe knight just now, and when he spoke at this time, he looked palpitating, and when he looked at the Tucson Poe knight on the tall horse, the faint old man's eyes were full of awe.

"It doesn't seem to be very strong!" Gretel's father, Hannah's husband Rook, who was at first weakened by the aura of the Tucson Poe knight, came back to his senses and probably felt a little embarrassed - although his wife and daughter were no better than him, and he didn't see his legs trembling, he was still upset, and muttered a little angrily:

"Do you remember last year? A young knight, with his companion and servant, hired me as a guide to hunt in the Black Forest. I saw him kill an ogre couple alone...... At that time, his body exuded a golden aura, dazzling like the sun, and he didn't know how many times more majestic than the thin layer of red aura on the Knight of Tucson Poe. The knight looked no more than twenty-five years old, but the Tucson Poe knight was almost forty years old, and he was no match for the knight......"

"Okay Dad, you don't have to say a word." Gretel whispered: "No matter how late the knightly bloodline of the Tucson Slope knight awakens, no matter how weak the power is, it is quite remarkable in our small place." If you say these things to his ears, you will probably be unlucky......"

Li Qing listened silently to the discussions of the people around him, and had a general understanding of the "knight bloodline" in his heart.

In his opinion, the so-called knightly bloodline is probably some kind of hereditary talent. Each knight bloodline has different abilities.

For example, the "blood boiling" of the Tucsembo family, from the words of others, seems to be a kind of ability similar to "madness". When activated, it becomes infinitely powerful, sensitive, quick, tireless, and painless. But what is more superior than madness is that the ability of blood boiling will not make people lose their minds, but can make people more sober.

Without a doubt, this is quite an excellent ability.

However, it is a pity that the knight's bloodline can only be obtained through guò inheritance, and cannot be taught or learned. This made Li Qing immediately lack of interest - if it was vindictive, he would still be interested in learning it, and the so-called art was not pressing. But since he has a hereditary ability similar to that of a warlock, then he is an otherworldly person, and he can't get this ability under any circumstances.

Speaking of which, Li Qing has not seen this kind of bloodline inheritance ability - the powerhouses of the No. 2 Earth Eastern Empire have awakened the ancient bloodline, and Li Qing has the example of Xiaolongnu by his side. I just don't know if the "knight bloodline" of this world can cultivate the true body of the ancestral spirit like the powerhouses who activated the ancient bloodline on Earth No. 2.

At this time, the Tucsembo knight, who was shocked by the aura emanating from the knight's blood, spoke again: "Villagers of Hunter Village, I have come here to announce to you. ”

He took out a scroll, held it high, and said loudly: "Honorable Baron Hemmer, canonize the Hunter Village to me, from today onwards, the Hunter Village is my territory, and you are my people." What I have in my hand is the canonization instrument issued to me by His Excellency the Baron, and anyone who has any doubts about it can come up and examine it for himself. ”

Hearing the words of the Tucson Slope Knight, the villagers of the Hunter Village were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.

"What? Did I hear me right? Baron Hemmer canonized our village to the Knights of Tucsembo? ”

"You heard it right, that's what the Tucson Slope knights said."

"But that's not reasonable! Our village is not Baron Hemmer's domain at all, so why did he canonize our village to the Knight of Tucsembo? ”

"Yes, our village is a free village, and there are no lords. Baron Helmer has no right to canonize our village to the Knights of Tucsembo! ”

"But...... The Knights of Tucsembo have awakened the blood of knighthood...... Having such a powerful lord is also a good thing for our village, right? At the very least, if the Dark Devil Bull takes over the hunting ground again, you can ask the Tucsembo Knight to help......"

"That's right. But...... With a lord on the head, many things are different. This kind of accident of the Black Devil Bull only happens once in decades. But with a lord, you have to pay an extra tax every year...... And we don't know how big the Tucson Cav knights are and how high the tax rate is! ”

"The Tucsembo Family...... He has never been known for his kindness. It doesn't seem to have a reputation for brutality, but ......"

The villagers were chattering and chattering, turning the drying field into a noisterous vegetable market. Hearing the constant doubts from the crowd, a flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the Tucson Poe knight, and he spoke again: "Calm me down!" ”

This time, he once again erupted with a pale red aura, and his violent aura swept over the drying field, once again shocking the noisy crowd. The basking field, which was noisy a second ago, became silent again.

The Knight of Tucsembo had a calm face, his eyes scanned the audience, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard someone say that the Hunter Village is not the territory of Lord Baron, so Lord Baron has no right to divide the Hunter Village to me. Hmph, I can't believe that you hillbillies still know some aristocratic legal principles. However, all you know is public news.

"Tell you the truth, I'm Du Fei. Tucsembo awakens the blood of knights and becomes a glorious knight of strength, according to the code of exploration issued by His Majesty the great Sith I, he automatically has the right to develop territories, and can freely designate a piece of borderless land no more than five square kilometers as my territory. I chose Hunter Village, with its surrounding five square kilometers of mountainous terrain.

"Now you hillbillies should know what my legal basis is, right? The Code of Pioneering Law promulgated by His Majesty the Sith I is the basis of my jurisprudence. The canonization of Lord Baron Hemmer is just a formality, and it is convenient for me not to have to go to the Imperial House of Lords and register in the House of Lords. But even if there is no canonization document from Lord Haimer, this territory is mine. It's just a little more troublesome, just one more formality. ”

The words of the Tucsembo knight made the villagers stunned for a moment.

Although it is not known what the Code of Pioneers is, the prestige of Sith I is known to the villagers.

Sith I, the founding monarch of the Rohan Kingdom where the hunter village is located, was once just an ordinary country child, who strayed into an ancient ruin when he was ten years old, where he got an artifact called the "Sword of the King", ate a golden apple, awakened the bloodline of the gifted "Holy Angel" knight, and obtained extremely powerful power.

At that time, there was no Rohan Kingdom, and the land of the Rohan Kingdom was still under the rule of the aging and huge Farno Empire, and sitting on the throne was the last emperor Nino III, the most brutal emperor in the history of the empire. When Sith I was eighteen years old, the common people and even the aristocracy finally could not stand the endless tyranny of Nino III, and a great revolt arose one after another.

Within half a year, the uprising spread throughout the Farno Empire. Sith I also took the opportunity to join a rebel army, and soon became the leader of that rebel army with his strong personal strength, outstanding military talent, and outstanding leadership charisma.

Ten years later, the Farno Empire was completely destroyed, and Nino III died by self-immolation in the palace. The vast Farno Empire was divided into more than a dozen large and small kingdoms and principalities. At the age of twenty-eight, Sith I also established the kingdom of Rohan in the southwest of the empire, and was crowned king by a commoner.

From commoner to king, the story of Sith I is legendary. Now the kingdom of Rohan has been established for more than 200 years, and Sith I died one hundred and fifty years ago, but the prestige of the founding monarch is still passed down from generation to generation in the Rohan Kingdom.

However, although they knew the prestige of Sith I, the villagers really did not know what "pioneer code" Sith I had promulgated. At this time, hearing Tusenpo's words, the villagers did not know how to question it, so they could only remain silent.

Seeing that the villagers had nothing to say, the Tucsembo knight nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's all for today." Tomorrow, my clerk will come and count the population and land, and by the way, issue the tax rate. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with my clerk. Now, you can speak to your lord, me, Duffy. Tucson Poe saluted. ”

With that, the Tucsembo knight raised his chin and waited with an arrogant expression on his face for the villagers to salute him.

The villagers hesitated for a while, but finally saluted unevenly: "Honorable lord, I salute you......"

After the villagers had saluted, the Tucsembo knight smiled triumphantly, turned his horse's head, and walked away with the dozen or so poorly equipped guards.

"Hey, there's an extra lord for no reason. It's going to be a bad day! After the Tucsembo knight led the team away, the old people in the village sighed.

"No way, who called the knights of Tucsampo to awaken the blood of knights? But then again, who of you knows if what the Tucson Cavaliers say is true? His Majesty the Great Sith I, really promulgated that...... Pioneer Codex? ”

"Who knows? I don't know anyway. But looking at what the Tucson Poe Knight said, it should be true, right? Besides, he should not dare to lie in the name of His Majesty Sith I......"

"Whether it's true or not, we can only accept the facts...... On the bright side, it's not a good thing at all. With such a powerful lord as the Tucson Slope Knights, our village should not be afraid of low-level demonic beasts in the future...... By the way, didn't that young adventurer named Tony go to deal with the Dark Devil Bull? Has he returned? ”

"Tony has been back a long time ago, with the old Hans."

"Did he succeed?"

"I don't know. But it seems that someone saw him come back with a blood-dripping animal skin package in his hand. That package looks like the skin of a black devil cow......"

"Did Tony kill the Dark Bull? That's great! The hunting grounds are back! Although with a strong lord, ...... I still don't like dealing with nobles! If you ask the Knight of Tucsembo to intervene, I don't know what kind of conditions he will offer! ”

Soon, Li Qing assumed the pseudonym "Tony." Stark's "killing of the Dark Devil Bull spread throughout the village. Although there is an extra lord's matter, the villagers are worried, and they don't know what the future holds. But now this good news still makes the villagers happy for a while. Many villagers brought gifts to the old Hans's family and sent thank-you gifts to Li Qing.

Just as Li Qing was enjoying the warm thanks of the villagers, in the distant ocean of storms, the ice and snow warlock Yiwen was in trouble. Really promulgated that...... Pioneer Codex? ”

"Who knows? I don't know anyway. But looking at what the Tucson Poe Knight said, it should be true, right? Besides, he should not dare to lie in the name of His Majesty Sith I......"

"Whether it's true or not, we can only accept the facts...... On the bright side, it's not a good thing at all. With such a powerful lord as the Tucson Slope Knights, our village should not be afraid of low-level demonic beasts in the future...... By the way, didn't that young adventurer named Tony go to deal with the Dark Devil Bull? Has he returned? ”

"Tony has been back a long time ago, with the old Hans."

"Did he succeed?"

"I don't know. But it seems that someone saw him come back with a blood-dripping animal skin package in his hand. That package looks like the skin of a black devil cow......"
