Since all of them were high-speed cavalry, and even the supplies were transported by horse-drawn carts, Levi's group advanced very fast, and it didn't take long to reach Oak Village.

This made Levi more or less regretful, he originally wanted to get more information from these high-level knights, especially the non-mainstream knight Arthur beside him, after all, they are all natives with a high level of intelligence and status, and they must know a lot of things, but unfortunately the time is still too short, after all, this is only a few miles away.

When Levi and the others arrived at Oak Village, he found that the soldiers guarding the village had already lined up in a neat formation, as if to greet them, and the Holy Maiden of Hilda stood at the front of the line, looking at everyone with a smile on her face.

In the face of Hilda's holy daughter's appearance, even the non-mainstream knight Arthur didn't dare to be careless, although the other party was just a village saint, strictly speaking, the status was not very high, at least not higher than his own duke's second son, but he knew that his father attached great importance to the other party, which had to make him think more...

So Arthur quickly slowed down his horse, then jumped off his horse and saluted him very politely: "Holy Maiden Hilda." ”

"Arthur, you're here, the last time I saw you, you seemed to be only that tall." Hilda reached out and gestured a height, roughly just to her shoulder.

"I didn't expect you to grow up in a blink of an eye, and become a pretty good knight... It seems that the Holy Maiden of Hilda seems to be very emotional.

Arthur was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the other party to say this as soon as they met, he hurriedly responded a few times, and then diverted the topic, "Holy Maiden Hilda, Prophet Elsa is also here this time." ”

Before the words fell, the originally neat cavalry had already separated a road, and the Holy Maiden of Elsa, who was riding a unicorn, had already leaned over with a smile: "Meet again, my sister." ”

Hilda also laughed: "Welcome, my sister. ”

Levi's, who was staying on the sidelines, didn't know what the hell they were doing, they were all in Oak Village yesterday, why did they blink an eye like they hadn't seen each other for a long time? But of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask questions at this time, because it was obvious that the other party had something to keep secret, even for these knights.

Well, in this way, maybe his status in the heart of the Holy Maiden of Hilda is even higher than he imagined.

After being polite for a while, Arthur Knight gave a rough idea of the type and amount of aid, and Levi saw that Hilda Saintess began to direct the carriage transporting supplies into Oak Village, and Arthur Knight had been assisting in command.

Levi secretly estimated that according to the materials this time, Oak Village is probably going to turn over, theoretically, those equipment is enough to arm thousands of second-order troops, but Oak Village should still be far from having so many soldiers.

After almost all the supplies had entered, the Holy Maiden of Hilda suddenly turned her head to look at Levi, and then said, "Arthur, there is one more thing I want you to help with this time. ”

"Oh? Holy Hilda, what is it? You just say yes. Arthur was a little curious, the other party hadn't said anything about it before.

Hilda pointed at Levi, "I want you to help Levi hold a promotion ceremony for the Ranger Knight." ”

Arthur suddenly laughed: "I see, if it's him, I don't have any opinion." ”

Although the contact time was very short, Arthur could also see that the other party's strength was enough to be a ranger knight, and the girl riding a white lion next to him had surpassed the strength of ordinary ranger knights, but unfortunately, she was a little girl, as for the warrior covered in black armor, Arthur knew at a glance that the other party was a religious knight from the Moorish sect, so it was none of his business.

"Okay, then I'll work hard for you, Arthur, come with me, I've got everything ready in the temple of the goddess."

Arthur couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, he immediately knew that the other party had already prepared, but he was not dissatisfied, because this ceremony did not have any loss for him, it was just a waste of saliva, and he also understood why the other party would do this, because this ceremony must be presided over by a higher-level knight, but Oak Village itself does not have any knights at present, and they can't find anyone.

If he can help the other party in this way, he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Levi didn't expect Hilda's actions to be so fast, but he soon followed the other party to the temple, and Elsa Prophet followed with a look of amusement.

After entering the temple, Levi found that the interior was arranged differently than usual, the floor was basically covered with white cloth, and even during the day, there were quite a lot of candlesticks lit, and now it was more grand and luxurious, and it seemed that the Holy Maiden Hilda had also invested a little money, even if these things were not one-time, the price was not too cheap.

The only thing that has not changed is the statue of the goddess in the lake in the middle of the temple.

At this time, Levi saw a little girl in a brand-new white robe, holding a book and slipping over, he looked at it and found that the other party was also his acquaintance, Hua Meisi's little friend Mina, today she looks more beautiful than usual, but she still habitually loves to blush.

Mina didn't say anything, just handed a book to Levi and whispered to him that it was the etiquette to be observed during the ritual for a while.

Soon, with the other party's explanation, Levi found that there was also a long list of information in his system panel, telling him how to do it, which looked quite formal.

Mina quietly stepped back, and then with some little girls about her dress and age, they began to pray beside her, and Levi could hear them praying and chanting to the goddess of the lake, the god they worshipped.

So Levi followed the system's prompts and knelt down on one knee towards the statue of the goddess in the lake in the middle of the temple.

Seeing this scene, Hilda nodded with satisfaction, it stands to reason that the ordinary Ranger Knight Promotion Ceremony does not need to be so grand at all, but in order to give Levi a deep impression and win more benefits for him, she still gave up her face, wasted some resources, and prepared this set of ceremonies for the other party.

Soon, after Hilda's brief opening remarks, the ceremony officially began, and Arthur Knight did not smile, but solemnly pointed the long sword washed with water on Levi's shoulder.

Levi immediately followed the system's prompts and said out loud the line called Ranger Knight's Oath, although he felt quite the middle two.

"When the trumpet sounds,

I will go on an expedition to fight for the goddess and the lord.

As long as I breathe, the earth under my feet and the people behind me will never be invaded by evil.

For the sake of honor, for the sake of the oath! ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Levi couldn't help shouting, and had to admit that although the lines were very middle-two, he inexplicably made himself a little excited~

As Levi's last words landed, everyone present laughed, and even Mina and a group of little girls applauded vigorously, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Arthur put away his long sword, inserted it back into the scabbard at his waist, and then helped Levi, who was kneeling on one knee, up: "Haha, Levi, from now on, you are an official knight, a ranger knight, don't live up to my expectations!" ”

Although he didn't know each other at all before today, and he had never heard of each other's names, but after this ceremony, he had some contact with the other party, and if the other party had been mediocre in the future, it would be okay, but if the other party made any scandals, then he would have received some bad evaluations.

Levi's instantly understood, is this a bit similar to the relationship between those who took the test and the examiner during the ancient scientific examination...

But no matter what, he said quickly, "I will, Knight Arthur, thank you for your willingness to preside over this ceremony for me." ”

He has received the prompt from the system and knows that he has gained more benefits, so his attitude towards the other party has also improved a lot.

Knight Arthur smiled and didn't say anything more, but walked over to Elsa the Prophet.

Hilda also smiled at Levi: "Levi, now that you are an official Ranger Knight, you can do what you want, but don't forget that Oak Village is always here waiting for your return." ”

"Congratulations on your advancement to Ranger Knight, and you have gained the passive skill Fortification: Max HP +10, and the corresponding HP growth is changed to 1.5 for each point of Constitution increase.

Gain the passive skill Wilderness Ranger: When in the wild, increases attack damage by 5 and movement speed slightly.

Due to the promotion ceremony held by the high-ranking knights, the passive skill military weapon proficiency is additionally obtained: the proficiency of military weapons such as swords, spears, two-handed greatswords, war knives, battle axes, shields, etc., is additionally increased, and the effect is regarded as the primary mastery of the corresponding weapon. ”

However, it's not all good news, Levi's original negative skill of rejecting bows and crossbows has directly turned into a bow and crossbow aversion, and he can't equip any bows, crossbows, muskets, darts and other long-range projectile weapons.

However, overall, Levi's personal strength, especially survivability, has increased a lot, his naked health has exceeded a hundred points, plus equipment or something, his strength can be said to be much stronger than that of a third-order infantry squire.

And seeing the introduction of the system, Levi knew that the skillful skills of that military weapon should be an additional benefit given to him by the other party.

Hilda's Holy Maiden is so powerful, Levi naturally can't help but give the other party, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course, Holy Maiden, no matter where I go, I will remember that I grew up here, and Oak Village and you have given me a lot of help to get to where I am now." ”

This is Levi's true words, if it weren't for Hilda's Holy Maiden, it is really unlikely that he would have been able to get ahead of most of the players and get to this point.

Holy Maiden Hilda nodded: "Levi, with the support from Bastogne, Oak Village can be called stable, at least we already have the absolute strength to face those fish people and Naga, you are free to do what you want." ”

At first, she only asked the beast slayer for supplies, but Arthur told herself that the Duke had finally decided to let four squads of Ranger Knights stay in Oak Village to assist in the defense, and several Kingdom Knights would personally lead the team, which would help her a lot.

Coupled with the huge amount of supplies that can arm thousands of people, Oak Village may not have enough strength to exterminate the fish-people in the short term, but she definitely doesn't have to worry too much about the safety of the village anymore.

In this way, Levi's strength is not particularly important to Oak Village now, just so that the other party can go out and adventure freely, and go through the process that every Ranger Knight must go through, so that when the other party returns, it will become stronger and more useful to Oak Village.

Officially agreeing to let himself leave Oak Village for an adventure, and not depriving himself of the title of garrison captain, this was not unexpected, but Levi could naturally hear that the other party didn't seem to have finished speaking, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Then Holy Maiden, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Maybe you can go to the Dwarven Stronghold in the Grey Mountains and see our ancient allies of humanity, who have recently been caught up in the war with the Greenskins and the Nezumi again, and maybe you'll have a chance to win their friendship."

As soon as the words fell, Levi found himself in two missions.

The first is his own professional advancement mission, which requires him to reach level 8 in personal combat, reach 10 points in a single attribute, and lead the team to kill 1,000 Tier 2 enemies and 100 Tier 3 enemies, and then he can return to Oak Village or any high-level knight (the rank exceeds that of the Kingdom Knight) to receive the final advancement mission of the Kingdom Knight.

The second one is much simpler, just let him go to the Gray Mountains, find any dwarven fortress, and then open the other party's reputation system, which can be regarded as a simple guide task.

However, Levi soon discovered that the second task was not so simple, because Hilda had already taken out an earthy yellow metal bracer and handed it to Levi, who was a little unclear.

"Levi, this is a piece of equipment made by a dwarf that I got before, and I am passing it on to you, I hope you can unleash its full power."

Bracers of Fury (Green-Fine): Every time you are attacked, or when you inflict an attack on an enemy, the Fury Rune effect is triggered, temporarily increasing the attack damage by 1 point for 10 seconds, and if it is triggered again during this period, the Fury effect can be stacked and the time can be recalculated, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.

If the Fury Rune effect is not triggered at least once within 10 seconds, all effects are erased.

Equipment requirements: 6 strength, 6 stamina, and Dwarven reputation above neutral.

(The Fury Rune will unleash the power of Fury during the battle, temporarily boosting your attack, but if the battle is aborted, its Fury will also cool)

"Good stuff!"

Even after seeing a lot of precious equipment from the mysterious traveling merchant Slarey, Levi couldn't help but feel a little surprised for a while.

Although the duration is only a short 10 seconds, once he stacks 10 stacks of rage, it is equivalent to directly increasing the attack power by 10 points, which is even about the same as the attack power of the weapon he is currently using.

As for the equipment requirements, it doesn't matter, as a human, the initial reputation of the dwarf race is neutral, and other attributes also meet the requirements, and Levi immediately equips it directly.

Even he has come up with a way to develop the most valuable use of this equipment, that is, to find a place where the monster refreshes particularly intensively, but the strength is very weak, and first stacks the 10 layers of rage, then even if the enemy is a second-order monster, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist him for a few shots.

And against a first-order monster, I'm afraid it's really a kid with one shot. If he had this equipment yesterday, he wouldn't have had that much trouble dealing with Shark Man or Tide Prawns!

Levi thanked the other party again, and then he took the initiative to take his leave, because Hilda and Prophet Elsa obviously had something to do, because while Hilda Saint was equipping him, Arthur on the other side had already left first.

After a few words of encouragement, the Holy Maiden of Hilda let Levi leave, and at the same time, the apprentices led by Mina also obediently left through the back door one by one, leaving this place to the two high-ranking believers of the goddess of the lake.

The two women glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison: "Elsa, I didn't expect you to hide even Arthur." ”

"Oh, Hilda, in fact, that's what Lord Bohammond meant, and the fewer people who know about it, the safer we are."

"Well, that's right, sister, you should set off as soon as possible and send it to the Cathedral of the Lake Fairies."

The Cathedral of the Nymphs of the Gods of the Lake, a church located in Kacasson, is also the largest and most magnificent church in the entire kingdom of knights, which was built by the kingdom of knights for the surrogate of the goddess on the ground, and the fairies of the lake gods have almost always stayed there throughout the ages.

Generally, only the coronation of the king, or important events of the same rank, will make it possible for the lake god fairy to walk out of the cathedral, and it is also one of the safest places in the entire knight kingdom, because there are many, many powerful knights who are willing to give up everything to serve the goddess.

Elsa the Prophet of the Lake God took the box handed to her, and the box shimmered with emerald green and pale blue, indicating that it had been completely sealed by powerful magic.

Elsa, who had always been smiling, solemnly became solemn for the first time: "Leave it to me, Hilda, for the will of the goddess." ”

"For the will of the goddess!"
