The light of the sun passed through the cross window at the top of the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights every day, and the light was shining on the position of the chief, like the glorious hand of God blessing the world directly from the sky, and also gave the members of the Teutonic Order the illusion of sanctity, usually the seat of the chief was empty, because the Count of Mecklenburg, who was also the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, Arrod, was not often present, so it was usually the flag bearer, Count Yve, but today the Grand Master was dressed in a delicate chain mail, Outside the chain mail was a black cross and white smock that no one had ever seen before, and even the cloak was completely white.

"What's the matter, Lord Earl, why doesn't he wear his family's coat of arms?" Harold's friends whispered curiously, and they were all seated at the wooden table in the hall, which was arranged in two rows against the wall, and the passage in the middle could accommodate two people walking side by side, and the Teutonic Knights sat neatly at the wooden table like schoolchildren in later generations.

"Maybe it's a special intention." Harold prevaricated and said, but there was a hint of excitement between his eyebrows, because Harold finally squeezed into the elite in Yve's second elimination, so he knew very well that today's hall would definitely not be so simple.

"May the Teutonic Knights, by the will of God, be in Grand Master Arrod. Under the leadership of Lord Wendell, defeat the enemies of the heretics and the Knights, and move forward bravely, and the sword of the Knights is indestructible~~~. In a toast, everyone stood up with a thud and raised their glasses to Arrod, who was sitting in the chief position of the Grand Master.

"Hmm." Arold raised his glass indifferently and saluted the Teutonic Knights with their faces glowing, looking at these immature but fanatical faces, not knowing whether he was right or wrong to push them into the abyss of war, but then he drove this petty and cowardly love out of his mind. Even if it weren't for the Teutonic Knights founded by Arrod, these noble sons would have embarked on a crusade for land and wealth, and it would be better to have their names engraved on the stone tablets of the Teutonic Knights for future generations to admire.

"Can we start?" Seeing that the toast was over, Eves turned to Arold and asked.

"Let Master Newman come in." Arold nodded at his brother. At this time, the side door opened and Master Newman walked in from the left, he bowed to Arold and Eve, and then stood beside them, some of the members of the Teutonic Order knew that this was the master builder of the smelting base, and some did not know Newman's identity, so a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees sounded in the hall.

"You may be wondering why Master Newman is here, right?" Arold looked at the young people below, and he didn't stop their curiosity and talk to each other, but only loudly voiced the doubts in their hearts.

"Huh." Master Newman's face was ruddy, and he reached out and touched the curly beard on his chin. Seeing these energetic young men in the hall about to put on the armor he had made himself, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

"That's right, the Flag Bearer, Lord Count Yve, has eliminated you once again, and now twenty of you have entered the list of elite warriors, and today is not an ordinary day, these twenty elite warriors are about to become honorary Teutonic knights, and they will not only receive my canonization, but also accept the armor and weapons I have given as gifts. You are to cherish this armor and your weapons all the days of your life, as you are to your own bodies and your honor. Arold stood up and said loudly to the people in the hall. As soon as Arrod's words fell, the hall exploded, and all kinds of noise almost toppled the ceiling, and Yves had to bang the thick cedar table with his iron hand, and the violent noise was only able to suppress the excitement.

"Thank you, Lord Count." Harold stood up excitedly and said gratefully to Arrod that becoming a knight was something they had dreamed of for a long time. This means an increase in social status, as well as a long-term stable job, which, according to Arold, is like a temporary worker.

"Don't be too happy, and don't forget the word honor added in front of the knight, which means that you are not officially a knight yet. Only those who have made meritorious deeds and are rewarded according to the military merit system will become knights with income from the fiefdom. Arold said earnestly to Harold.

"You're right, how can you become a real knight without making great achievements, you can rest assured that we will definitely make enough feats to get your recognition, everyone said yes." Harold waved his thick right arm and said loudly to his companions that the mere title of Honorary Knight was enough to make them proud, and a knight who did not have a great reputation and merit in his hands would be laughed at when he walked in Europa, and they would not take advantage of it when they were young and vigorous.

"Ya~~~~." In the hall, the children of the Germanic nobles struck their chests with their right fists, and said loudly to Arrod, the uniform voice echoed in the hall, and Arold nodded at Master Newman with satisfaction.

"Bang Bang~~~." Master Newman smiled and held out his hand to pat, and the side door opened again, and a group of servants entered, each carrying a pair of armor, a bottle helmet with peepholes in the shape of a cross, a thin knee-length chain mail neatly folded, and a pair of leather and iron zuò armours placed on it, a total of twenty pieces of armor in front of Arold and the others.

But this was not the end of it, and when the side door on the right opened, another group of maids entered, holding in their hands a white smock with a black cross depicted on it, because after all, this was the first time to give, so the smock dyed with coarse linen fabric was rough, but the white background and black cross made the smock look simple and steady.

"Come on, lads, put on your armor and come forward one by one to receive the sword." Arold ordered the servants to carry away the heavy cedar table in front of him, and at his left foot lay a large chest containing a sword forged in the shape of a cross.

"Yes, Grand Master." Harold and the others couldn't wait to step forward, they took the armor and helped each other get dressed, the rattle of the chain mail sounded in the hall like flowing water, and the eliminated members stretched their necks with red eyes and drooling, watching them put on new clothes.

"And the smock, don't forget." Yves stood aside, commanding the honorary Teutonic knights, and when the smock was put on the chain mail, Arrod's eyes lit up, and the Teutonic knight's appearance finally appeared in front of him. (To be continued......)
