The execution of a group of rebels led by Chris represents a significant reduction in the hidden dangers in the rear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But that's not all, there's still a lot of work for Allen.

Ravi looked at the church in front of him and hesitated, his injuries had healed in the past few days. But he seemed to be fascinated, and every time he patrolled the streets, he involuntarily walked to the Victoria Cathedral. Even after a few quick glances, he felt satisfied.

Others may think that Ravi is deeply impressed by this place, and a few glances are reminiscing about the eventful years of the past. But those who are familiar with him know that this kid is in love.

"Ravi, you're here! Come with me, the Duke has sent someone to summon you!" Hogg trotted all the way and shouted at Ravi from afar.

"Looking for me?" Ravi asked suspiciously, "What does the Duke want me to do?" ”

Hogg glanced at the tall and majestic Victoria Cathedral and said quickly to Ravey, "How do I know. Anyway, come with me, those adults have been waiting for you for a long time. “

At Hogg's urgent urging, Ravi could only follow Hogg and run briskly back to the city guard.

"Ravi, let me warn you." Hogg strode ahead and said without looking back. "If you kid has someone you like, that's okay, but you have to think about it carefully, there are some people we can't hope for."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I also don't have a favorite either. Ravi looked at Hogg's back, he could hear what Hogg meant, but he didn't want to admit it.

Suddenly Hogg stopped, and Ravi hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, so that he didn't crash into Hogg.

"Ravi, you should know what I mean. I've heard, you're in love with elves, aren't you? ”

"I... I didn't! Ravi was hesitant, and he was embarrassed all of a sudden.

Hogg sighed, who wouldn't understand Ravi's thoughts?

"Ravi, we're just civilians, and the most we can do is do our job. Are the elves something we can provoke? They're aliens! ”

"What about the interracials! They saved my life! They are no different from us! ”

"Don't you know how many people are beating their minds? It's not the big slave owners who can get their hands on them, the big businessmen are the big nobles, we're just powerless, little guards, those people can kill us with just a finger, and you dare to jump into the fire? Hogg said with some anxiety, he felt that Ravi was only bewitched by the beauty of the elves, like thousands of men who were also bewitched.

"I'm not afraid!" Ravi stiffened his neck and stubbornly retorted.

"Yes, you're not afraid! But what about the elves! They are now a group, and those who have some scruples under the Duke can still have scruples. But what happens after I follow you? Can you keep her safe? Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about her? ”

"I... I.... These words left Ravi speechless, although he did not want to admit it, but he understood the helplessness of reality. He had already realized this when he was in the underworld.

"Hey... Hogg patted Ravey on the shoulder, "Ravey, don't think about her. Time will slowly fade into oblivion. Let's go, adults are still waiting. ”

Ravi followed Hogg back on his way, but this time he felt as if he had been hollowed out, unable to exert any strength from his body, and his steps became limp. Thinking was slow, as if frozen.

In a trance, I don't know how long it took. Ravi is like a marionette. He returned to the Guards with Hogg and followed Allen's herald into the Hall.

"Villain Hogg."

"Woz the villain."

……

"I've seen the Duke!"

Ravi was awakened by a slightly chaotic salute. Only then did he realize that he was standing in the spacious hall, and around him were a dozen men of various shapes, none of whom were nobles, as he knew from their humble clothes.

Looking out again, standing straight on both sides were those palace officials who had never been seen before.

For these people, Ravi could only recognize a few of the low-ranking officials, and no matter how high they were, he had no clue at all, and could only distinguish whether they were generals or civilian officials from the clothes on the outside.

Quickly sweeping across the two rows of big figures, Ravi finally set his eyes on the man in the chair at the front.

Young! This is the first impression. It looks like he's just a few years older than himself. Majesty! Although he was smiling, Ravi had seen him smile as he did when he executed Baron Chris.

Alan looked down and asked the attendant beside him, "Are all the people here?" ”

"There are sixteen people in total, all of them have arrived."

Alan nodded, got up from his seat, and slowly took a few steps forward. Just when everyone was puzzled, Alan suddenly pulled out the knight's sword in his waist, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Ravi and the others.

"Get on your knees!"

Ravi and the others didn't understand what Eren meant, but in this situation, they still involuntarily knelt in front of Alan.

"Gentlemen, I am pleased with your performance in this crisis. Although you are not noble, and you are not even rich, but when the country is in danger, you are able to stand up and bring more people to defend the country together. You are all a group of people with a chivalrous heart and spirit, and I, Alan Ouranos, have a lot of appreciation for you. Therefore I have decided that I will bestow upon you the name of knight. that you may walk in life with the glory that I have given you, the glory of Essis! “

"Huh?"

"Male... The Duke is the great... Person? ”

Everyone was stunned, they were just a group of ordinary citizens with no power and powerless, and they could one day become knights themselves?

Many people don't actually think about protecting their families and defending their country. The reason why they stood up was first for their own safety, and the second was for the reward given by Allen. Alan was well aware of this, but he didn't take these people lightly. That's human nature, it's normal. Everyone will fight for their own interests. And what Eren has to do is to tie his own interests to the interests of Essis. Tie the interests of Essis to the millions of ordinary people.

Therefore, this ceremony of canonizing knights is also a drama that Allen prepared in advance.

"In the name of Alan Ouranos, in the name of Duke Essis, your lord, I grant you the name of knight. Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirituality, honesty, justice! These are the eight virtues of knighthood, and you should keep it in mind from now on. Next, I'll say a sentence, and you'll follow along. ”

Alan slowly placed the cold and sharp blade on the shoulder of the person in front of him, and slowly recited the knight's oath, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"I swear I will be kind to the weak!"

"I swear I will be kind to the weak!

"I swear I'm going to stand up to rape!"

"I swear I'm going to stand up to rape!"

"I swear I will fight for the unarmed!"

"I swear I will fight for the unarmed!"

。。。。。

At first, Ravi and the others didn't know the situation, how could they suddenly be knighted as civilians? But in Alan's slow and clear voice, he gradually settled down, and the oath that was originally just echoed in his mouth penetrated into their bodies little by little. In the end, my heart slowly used a passion, an indescribable touch.

"I swear I'll be sincere with my friends!"

"I swear I'll be sincere with my friends!"

"I swear I will die for what I love!"

"I swear I will die for what I love!"

A simple oath contains the most precious virtues. Following Alan to finish reading these few oaths, everyone seemed to suddenly remove the shackles in their hearts, and the deepest emotions in their hearts gushed out. Some turned into tears, some into roars.

Alan didn't stop the crowd from losing their temper, and he continued the ceremony. Place the knight's sword in your hand on everyone's left and right shoulders. Finally, tap the palm of your hand twice. Seeing this, the attendants behind him immediately signaled to the rear.

Soon, more than a dozen squires walked out of the hall with knightly swords in their hands. Eren personally took the sword from the squire, and then solemnly handed it into the hands of each of the newly ordained knights.

"Gentlemen, I now grant you the right to wear and hold the Knight's Sword! And I hope that from now on I will remember your oath and walk in the world with the spirit of knighthood! ”

"Follow the teachings of the Duke! We will always remember our oath and live the rules of knighthood for the rest of our lives. Shed the last drop of blood for the Duke! ”

"Yes, Lord Duke!"

"Die for the Duke!"

Although the responses of the crowd were mixed, all of them were convinced by Allen.

Allen's goal was achieved, and he was very happy in his heart. The smile on his face gradually expanded, and then he even laughed out loud. This was the first knight to be knighted by Allen, and it was also his first civilian knight. In the centuries when the aristocracy had monopolized power, the oath of antiquity was finally uttered again in the mouths of the commoners. Is this the progress of the times, or is it a repetition of the past? How much of a blow will this deal to today's knighthood?

Hehe, Alan doesn't care about that. Anyway, in his eyes, only his own is the best!

Ravi stared at the knight's sword in his hand, the blade was about a meter long, and the blade was as smooth as a mirror. It can almost illuminate the image of a person. The blade is delicate and sharp, as if it has been washed by thousands of years of flowing water, washing away all impurities and defects. Above the lower gauntlet of the blade, a small winged eagle symbol is imprinted. Even though Ravi had never used a knight's sword, he knew that a regular knight's sword would not be able to achieve this effect.

Ravi was right. These knights' swords were specially crafted by Alan from the dwarven craftsmen, using the highest quality materials. It can be said that any one of them is enough to make a family treasure and pass it on for hundreds of years. Even the other generals under Allen's command were greedy when they saw it.

The reason why Eren spent so much money to build these swords was to cultivate that unique sense of honor and that sense of mission. (To be continued.) )
