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

Now the whole territory is in full swing, and from time to time new buildings are rising from the ground and the topping out is completed. Others who are busy farming, mining, and cutting have long been in place.

"I must complete the task excellently, this is the trust and trust of the lord. At the distribution point, Goblin Scott wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, constantly encouraging himself in his heart.

Although there were other people such as Tanar and Linda who were helping, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat.

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

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

Since settling in the territory, Scott has always been grateful and diligent in his work. Looking at the busy and fulfilling scene around him, and remembering that he was a participant and witness, Scott was always excited.

For the meritorious system implemented by the lord, Scott is full of strong interest in his heart, and he always subconsciously extends his thoughts in his spare time, delusionally trying to figure out the deep meaning of the lord behind it.

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

Virtual feats, on the one hand, can maintain the spiritual mood of the people, and on the other hand, they can bind people's hearts and curb population loss, nothing more.

The reason why Scott feels busy at the moment is because there are many less reliable figures in the realm, such as the capable lady Beth, or the elusive lord, where have they gone?

In a dimly lit sewer, a secret door was emitting a soft blue light, and Thor, Beth, Staunt, and Diller, four figures walked out of the blue light one after another.

"What fool opened the door in such a disgusting place?" said Diller, grumbling and covering his nose.

"Shouldn't a halfling come to this environment with a sense of home?" Stint stabbed happily.

The environment here is really bad, dark and muddy, with rats and cockroaches scurrying around. The air was filled with the foul smell of sewers, and the occasional filth could be seen in a faint undercurrent next to it.

In the past, the doors of the secret realms that Thor encountered were all opened in cellars, barns, or dilapidated empty houses, and the owner of this door obviously had a lot of ideas and chose a special place like the sewers.

This door was discovered by Thor, and after entering the secret realm of the reincarnation dungeon, the four of them scattered and entered different doors.

By asking the local residents for news, they will find the secret door to the royal capital of the knights, Byron Bian, and make a bet that whoever finds it first will enjoy the treatment of others pinching their backs and beating their legs.

Saul was lucky and took the lead.

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

The two of them snuggled leisurely, where it seemed to be adventurous, it looked like they were going out to play.

Actually, it's pretty much the same, Thor just brought everyone to play,...... Well, by the way, get some money.

Funding has become an immediate issue in the territory at the moment, and many aspects of the territory are involved.

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

After all, the merit system is okay to deceive the poor and white people in the territory, but for the population imported from other places who are accustomed to the monetary system, that system may not be effective.

This time I came to Byron Bian, and getting money is the main purpose, as for how to get Saul, I don't have a clue for the time being, so I'm going to take a look first.

In terms of the choice of means, it should be one of the shortcuts such as stealing and cheating, because the territory under rapid construction is unlikely to give Thor too much time to plan.

Bringing Diller and Staunt with them is on the one hand to make things easier and on the other hand to increase the risk tolerance on their side. After all, these obscene methods have corresponding risks, and in case of an incident, you must always have some strength to ensure that your side retreats.

As for bringing Beth, it's because the little shiitake mushroom has been stuffy in the territory for too long, and it just happened to take her out to relax.

Following the path he had explored earlier, Thor led the three of them around a few turns in the sewers and soon came to the surface.

Although everyone was only in a cramped alley in a slum area at this moment, as the field of vision suddenly opened up and brightened, everyone was still a little shocked, and a large area of prosperity was already visible.

Saul, who had been in Odrensa for a while, was not too touched by this, and his eyes were more appreciative.

The area of the ancient city of Byron Bian is not much larger than that of the main city of Odrenza in the south, not to mention the wide and neat streets paved with regular stones, and the bright lights of the city are not to be expected.

However, in Saul's opinion, the main difference between this place and the main city in other places is the architectural style.

As far as the eye can see, there are many spires, and most of the buildings under the spires are cylindrical castle-like style. The dark blue spire, combined with the gray brick color of the building itself, reveals a rigorous and simple beauty in the faint lighting.

In fact, Thor has seen a lot of such spire buildings in the north and south, and the biggest difference is actually on the spire.

In the south, whether it is a private mansion or some public grand buildings, most of them are decorated with statues. For example, above the roof above the lintel, or on the top of the spire building, statues of all sizes abound.

Types of statuesThor has seen angels, demons, gargoyles, pocket dragons, goddesses, in short, varied, as for the symbolism or purpose of the statues themselves, Thor has not studied.

There are hardly any decorative statues in sight on Byron Bian's side, and the only flags of various colors flutter in the wind on the spires of the buildings, as if telling the old and glorious old days of the city.

Byron Bian can afford the words ancient and glorious, after all, the ancient profession of knighthood dates back to the kingdom calendar. They have a long history, and it is only later that the dark calendar came, and the knighthood gradually declined.

Today, only Byron Bian still retains a complete knightly heritage on the continent.

Neutral, they are located in a corner of the mainland, and have been quiet and windless for many years.

The whole army is not enough, but Byron Bian's streets can be seen at any time with all kinds of knights, some wearing half-hooded helmets and shiny armor with various cloaks behind them, and some sitting on horseback and swaggering through the market.

The three of Saul Steint Diler, three third-order, are undoubtedly only an ant-like small gang here in Byron Bian.

First met the old man who taught him swordsmanship in Grey Curtain Town, and Thor also discussed the knight profession with the old man.

In the past, Thor had always thought that the origin of the knighthood was derived from their knightly principles or beliefs, that is, humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, spirit or soul.

But after putting forward this statement, the old man gave Saul a '' evaluation.

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

Knights were born in the Old Kingdom, and there was no such profession as knights in the kingdom at first, only warriors or soldiers.

Later, with the development and evolution of the form of warfare, people found that the soldiers who charged on horses were more lethal, which gave rise to the prototype of the later knights, and the knights came into being.

Later, this up-and-coming class gradually became the main combat force of the kingdom, and the knights gradually distanced themselves from other ordinary troops, from the daily training and combat methods, to the activity on the battlefield and even the treatment they enjoyed in the kingdom.

Every year, the king personally selected a number of seven-year-old boys from among the descendants of knights to learn how to become a knight's squire. In the event of a shortage of population and combat power, this selection criterion will also be relaxed to civilians.

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

By the age of fourteen, they had officially become squires.

A squire prepares meals for the other knights, washes clothes, and is responsible for dressing the knights.

On the day when a squire becomes a knight, the newborn knight president kneels in front of the icon and prays for a long time, after which he will also have his own squire, with the help of his squire, put on his armor and go to the sanctuary to be baptized.

The priests would then tap him on the shoulders with the blunt side of their swords to make him swear allegiance to the king.

The knights swore allegiance to the king and his subjects.

They spend a long time putting on heavy armor, and they need to undergo constant training, as the knight's code of honor includes the requirement to perfect their fighting skills.

Occasionally, the king or lord would give his knight an important task, and the knight would often put life and death on the line, and after completing the task at the risk of completing the task, the knight might be rewarded with a small estate near the kingdom.

So in the final analysis, the knighthood profession was born on horseback, because it was responsible for the main combat power of the kingdom, and later gradually added the formalized things of the knightly code, which was nothing more than a little trick to control people's hearts.

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

In short, what the old man told Saul was that those moral qualities originally existed in human nature, and were not exclusive to knights, but the knightly profession was forcibly complied with out of formal requirements, so judging whether a person was a knight or not did not depend on professional standards.

The warrior on the horse is the historical origin of the knight and the exclusive characteristic of the knight's profession.
