Chapter 5: Brutal Training

"I'm sorry Norwen, I'm the one who bothered you, I ......" William sobbed in a low voice, looking down at his feet.

"William, look at me!" Norwen tugged at William's shoulder, condescending.

"William, you have to understand, I am your knight mentor, and it is my duty to ensure your safety, so you don't have to be sad." Norwen's pale blue pupils glistened in the moonlight, staring condescendingly into William's eyes.

William stopped sobbing: "You...... You don't blame me? But you were beaten so badly! As he spoke, his eyes swirling over the wound on Nowen's face.

Norwen, dodged for a moment, touched the wound on the arch of his eyebrows and the corner of his mouth with his hand, cracked his grin, and said: It's okay, just those miscellaneous pieces, if I put on armor and take a long sword, I can beat several of them, if I am allowed to ride a war horse, I am not afraid of another ten.

This is a good point, although most of the knights at this time are wearing chain armor, scale armor, high-level can wear plate chain composite armor, and the protection ability is not as good as the later full-body plate armor, but as long as the other party does not hold an armor-breaking heavy weapon such as a giant axe, it is difficult to get a knight riding a war horse.

The mobility and impact of war horses are incomparable to human legs, and knights have such a strong status and deterrence, a large part of which comes from war horses.

After all, without the war horse, the knight class is nothing more than a group of heavily armed and powerful heavy infantry, which gives them unparalleled shock power and social status.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, go to bed early, tomorrow we will officially start training." Norwen went into the stables, found a pile of hay, lay down first, and said to William.

It is said that it is a stable, but there are actually no horses in it, there were originally seven war horses in the cottage, but one died in a battle, and the remaining six were taken by the bandit leader to feed him personally, and it was also able to be safe.

So the foul-smelling stables that William imagined did not appear in front of him.

It's not early, if you don't sleep, you won't experience it tomorrow, and I don't know how Norwin will train himself, so it's necessary to maintain good physical strength.

William also found a haystack at random, lay down on it, and fell asleep.

The next morning, William was dragged from the hay by Norwen.

"Hmm...... What are you doing...... What time is it? I'll sleep again......" William hazefully forgot the fact that he had crossed over, and picked up the problem of lying in bed.

"William! Hurry up and start training! How do you become a good knight? "Norwen spoke sternly, and it seems that he quickly entered the role of knight mentor.

Being scolded by Norwen like this, William remembered about the training, and quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes, only to find that Norwen was standing beside him, looking at him sternly.

"Uh, haha, Norwen, it was just ...... You called me ......," William chuckled dryly.

Unexpectedly, Norwen didn't say anything at all, and said with a serious face: "William, you have to understand, a knight is not a farmer, a robber or something else, he is a killing machine galloping on the battlefield, a warrior of the Lord, you can't become a qualified knight if you are so lazy, if you are like this, I think I have to consider whether to be your knight mentor." ”

William didn't expect that things would be so serious, and Norwen's attitude would be so resolute, thinking that he would probably give up on himself, William panicked, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Nowen, I will definitely train hard." ”

With William's assurance, Norwin was a little satisfied and said, "Okay, now we're going to start training." ”

The two walked out of the room, and William was surprised to find that the sky had not yet dawned, the sun had not yet appeared, and the sky had just turned white, but he could already see things clearly.

"Okay, William, let's run a few laps around the cottage first to warm up."

William nodded, and ran after Norwen.

The physical quality of this sentence is really good, and he has just gasped for breath after five laps, although the cottage is not big, but there are four or five hundred meters in one lap, and it is two kilometers down in five laps, and he has just been short of breath, but it is much better than his original empty body.

"Yes, William, I thought you wouldn't be able to do it here, it seems that you are in good health, and you are a good seedling of a knight." Norwen ran five laps, but he still looked at ease, not missing half a point of fatigue, seeing that William could also run five laps, his face leaked a sense of satisfaction, and praised.

A hint of smugness flashed across William's face, but he didn't speak because his breathing had begun to rapid.

Norwen laughed: "But this is just the beginning, you are still far away!" ”

As he spoke, he sped up a little faster, making William's breathing a little faster.

"Whew, Nowen, I...... I can't! Stop...... Take a break! After another five or six laps and two kilometers down, William was visibly exhausted, his legs were already shaking, his lungs were hot, and his throat was filled with a bloody breath, which was caused by breathing too fast.

Although Norwen was also breathing a little rapidly at this time, he still looked relaxed, and he shouted at William, "Hurry up! Adjust your breathing, there are three laps left to finish, hold on.

William took a deep breath and forced his thighs to keep running, he knew that if he couldn't persevere, Norwin would most likely give up on himself, so he didn't dare to stop without permission, although he was still running, but the speed was about the same as walking.

"Whew......" William ran three laps, met Norwen's requirements, sat on the ground, lay down, his chest rose and fell violently, desperately breathing the oxygen contained in the air, and a strong smell of blood gushed out of his throat.

Norwen's breathing was also short, but he had already gotten used to it for a dozen laps, and it wasn't too difficult.

After a while, William's breathing calmed down, and Norwen said, "All right, get up!" ”

William's face froze, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and quickly stood up from the ground. If this is because of this, it will be over if Nowen gives up.

William's obedience pleased Norwin and said, "Okay, you can sit down, and I'll take advantage of the moment to tell you some basic knowledge of knighthood." ”

William smiled, as long as he wasn't allowed to exercise so vigorously again.

William sat on the ground, Norwen cleared his throat, paced and said: "Knights, literally, are warriors on horseback, but we are not warriors on horseback, knights represent God the Father, they maintain the order of the Lord, defend the nobles canonized by God the Father, and destroy all enemies of God the Father and the nobles. ”

"Although the nobles are all the subjects of the Lord, there are many hatreds for each other, just like the relationship between brothers is not good, no matter how bad the relationship is, they are also the children of their fathers, after the knight swears allegiance, he should be loyal to the master and protect the rights of the master, and most of the threats to the master's rights come from the hostile lord and his knights, and the knight's duty is to help his master defeat other knights, understand?"

William pouted when he heard this, and he must be loyal to his master, and he scoffed at this, but although he thought so in his heart, he did not show it.

Norwen said: "On our continent, since the fall of the Dells Empire, wars have broken out and divided into dozens of kingdoms, large and small, and there are nearly a hundred more famous principalities, and there are countless princes, counties, and baronies. In these dark and turbulent times, danger is everywhere, and even the Holy See, which claims to be the spokesman of God, needs hundreds of Templars to ensure safety. ”

"The ...... of the Dells Empire," William muttered the name, "I haven't heard of it, isn't it the Middle Ages when the Roman Empire fell, and where did this Desl Empire come from?" Could it be ...... This is the Middle Ages in another world. And even in the early Middle Ages, there weren't more than 200 kingdoms. ”

"What? Haven't you heard of it? No, didn't your father mention it? Norwin asked, seeing that William didn't seem to have heard this.

"Of course I've heard of it, Desl Empire, I just sighed that such a huge empire actually perished like this." William said that he didn't know, doesn't this mean that his aristocratic identity is fake, and pretending to be a nobleman is a big crime.

"Well, that's what I used to think." Norwin didn't suspect anything, but agreed with William.

He continued: "Although the knights have high combat effectiveness, there are also a lot of scum, with the title of knight, they do all kinds of evil, their own strength is wasted, and what's more, when the knights are training, they are taught badly by the upper-class ladies, and the living little white faces, there is no combat effectiveness at all, but they are still more popular, there are at least forty or fifty thousand knights on the mainland, and how many people with real talent and learning are replaced by people like them and become wandering knights." ”

Speaking of this, Norwen had an angry expression on his face, but William didn't feel anything, after all, there are scum everywhere. But even so, William still cooperated and leaked a look of righteous indignation.

After some explanations by Norwen, William basically understood that this continent was indeed a different world, but the background, customs, beliefs, and war patterns were similar to those of the early Middle Ages on Earth.

However, it was more chaotic than the early Middle Ages on Earth, the relationship was complicated, and there was no supernatural existence such as vampires from Norwen's mouth, which made William's heart feel a lot more at ease.

After explaining these, Norwen gave William a brief introduction to etiquette, although he can't use it now, but he can use it in the future, William, who is determined to achieve a career, has this confidence, so he learns very seriously.

After these were over, the sky was completely bright, and Norwen gave an order, and the brutal training began again, this time it was push-ups, although the name of the earth was different, but the specific movements were similar, and the number reached more than a hundred of them who were frenzied.

Who can stand this amount, it is a little unbearable to be forty Williams, but he still gritted his teeth and survived.

With a plop, William fell to the ground at once, and more than a hundred push-ups drained him of all his physical strength.
