Chapter 558: Clearance

Lying on the wooden bed, Wu Ming pillowed his hands and thought about the harvest this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to Knight Thakur, the training of ordinary knights is the mastery of various weapons, as well as the practice of horsemanship, and at most some breathing techniques, to explore the potential of human beings...... Even if I practice to the top, I'm just like this now! ”

Through the side knocks, Wu Ming was very helpless to find that the knight training that was rumored to be miraculous was actually just an ordinary way of exercising.

In real terms, this kind of family-style inheritance and exploration is perfect, and many of them have not yet worked in this set that he summarized himself, at least he can exercise his body to the limit of the race.

Therefore, although Thakur revealed his intention to accept him as a servant, Wu Ming still chose to be a free man.

"What makes the knight really powerful is the ritual and the holy oil!"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed: "The knight squire who has exercised his body to the limit, and then through a series of tedious rituals, fasting, bathing, and praying...... It is carried out for a total of seven days, and every day it is anointed with holy oil and a vow is taken in front of the idol......

After all this, the knight himself will turn on the 'source', or 'fighting spirit', or 'life energy', and obtain the seed of transcendence, and the strength, speed, and recovery ability will be increased in some way, which the church claims to be a gift from God...... But the other great nobles seem to have holy oil hidden in their homes, so their knights only need to swear allegiance to them to receive the same bounty! ”

Obviously, the holy oil was only a secret medicine, and it was monopolized by the Church and the great nobles.

Although Baron Terry was a nobleman, he was not strong enough and did not have a collection of holy oil, so the knighthood under his command was carried out at Wuthering Castle, for which he also had to pay a large fee.

"In the Wind Firefly Plain, whether or not you can really 'canonize' a knight is also a benchmark to measure the strength of a nobleman! In the past, only the Earl of the Blue Mountains of Whistling Castle had this strength, but now, there is another Viscount Garcia......"

Without this, Viscount Garcia would not have been able to defeat the Earl of the Blue Mountains, and after the war, a new group of knights was promoted and canonized.

"Generally speaking, there are only three ways for a true knight to be promoted in the Wind Firefly Plains: the Earl of the Blue Mountains, the Viscount Garcia, and the Church?"

Wu Ming touched his nose, a little helpless: "I didn't expect the rules of this world to be so strict, and extraordinary promotions are so troublesome......"

He had also inquired about druids, priests, mages, and other legal professions, or elves, dwarves, goblins, and other alien races, only to be despised by Thakur for a while, 'Are you an idiot?' The general expression is still fresh in his memory.

It seems that either there are no legal professions and alien races in this world, or even if they exist, they are extremely low-key, and they are not accessible to people of Thakur's level.

Of course, the Holy Oil is only the path of the Transcendent Knight.

If you just want to be a knight, as long as there are nobles who are willing to cut off the land under their own names and canonize them, even ordinary people who are powerless can become knights and nobles, but once they encounter war, they need to be vassals to fulfill their courtier obligations for the feudal monarch......

"The holy oil is not a panacea, I heard that the process is not only quite painful and difficult, but the first condition for triggering is physical fitness! At the very least, they must reach the limit of the race, or be close to the limit, otherwise wouldn't those noble lords have been soaked in holy oil all day long ago and become supermen? ”

Wu Ming pondered his own path.

There is not much problem with the identity of the free people, and the next step is to choose three directions.

Originally, if he took refuge under Baron Terry, if he accumulated enough credit, it was not impossible to be promoted in Wuthering Castle like Thakur, but he was only a baron's subordinate, and there were too few opportunities.

"It's a pity...... How nice would it be if the time travel was a little earlier, before the war? Viscount Garcia came from abroad, and must have been very generous, and promoted a number of knights...... It's a pity that the last train can't catch up! ”

War, big war! It has always been the best way for civilians to be promoted.

As an outsider, Viscount Garcia's generosity and concessions are also famous, which makes Wu Ming, who missed the opportunity, regret it.

"Next, let's wander the Wind Firefly Plain and look for opportunities!"

When he first came, he was unfamiliar with his life, and his own strength was low, and he had no identity certificate, so he could only choose to hibernate.

And now, after a few months of activism, he has gained a little strength, some start-up capital, and most importantly, is about to have a free people's identity, which makes him start to think about traveling.

Although most civilians only knew the way of knights, Wu Ming did not intend to hang himself directly on it.

Even though there is no clue to the power of the law system in the Wind Firefly Plain, what about other places? For example, the highlands where Viscount Garcia was born? Or the unexplored wilderness?

And ...... In the church, there should also be a little inheritance of force, and the clues of the priesthood ......"

Although Wu Ming's martial arts and immortal dao are quite successful, he still specializes in immortal dao, so he is naturally closer to the legal profession.

……

"William! As a reward for your loyalty and bravery, and for saving the knights of Thakur, I grant you the status of a freeman in the name of the Baron......"

A few days later, in the city lord's mansion, the study.

Wu Ming bowed humbly and took a thick piece of parchment from Baron Terry's hand.

The paper is thick and crisp, pale yellow, with an indescribable texture when rubbed, and has been smoked with special drugs, waterproof and mildew-proof, and has a high value, and is generally only used for the recording of precious documents and the conclusion of major contracts.

What was entrusted to Wu Ming was the proof of his status as a freeman, in addition to a series of ornate rhetoric and lace of unknown meaning, the most important thing was the autograph and seal of the baron in the lower right corner.

With this document, William would be able to obtain the same status and treatment as a freeman in all the cities of the Winfly Plains.

This was guaranteed in the name of Baron Terry, and the rules that all nobles had to follow.

"Thank you again, Honorable Baron!"

Wu Ming saluted.

"If you want to thank Knight Thakur!"

Baron Terry waved his hand, obviously not taking Wu Ming very seriously.

"I thought he would warmly invite me to be the captain of the town guard or something......

Wu Ming walked out of the study, touched his nose, felt a little self-inflicted, and immediately saw Knight Thakur.

"I've seen the knight!"

He hurriedly saluted, still within the rules of the game, and when he didn't break the rules, he had to follow the rules.

Wu Ming would not claim to be a life-saver, so he forgot about this.

"You don't have to be so outside, just call me Thakur!"

Thakur said this, but the furrowed brow and the smiling face were telling the opposite.

"And thank you for granting me the status of a free citizen!"

Wu Ming bowed slightly: "It's just one more thing, I want to ask the adults for help!" ”

"Huh? What's up? ”

Thakur asked directly, feeling a little relieved.

After all, he himself has paid a lot to get the status of a freeman, and he feels that he has repaid most of his favors.

Some people think that if they don't expect to repay their kindness, their kindness will accumulate, but they are really a little self-deceptive, but they don't know that the benefactor lives in torment every day, which is also a kind of torture.

But Wu Ming was not like this, he directly chose to cash out, and at the same time, he did not lose the courtesy, without the slightest arrogance, which made Thakur very happy.

"It's just a small thing, I want to pay taxes for Aunt Roya in town......"

Wu Ming briefly explained the matter.

A few kindrons may be coveted by tax collectors, and even Rorian's daimyo can't suppress them, but Thakur is different.

After all, he is a real knight with a manor, a hereditary knight, a quasi-nobleman!

What Wu Ming meant to Thakur was just to use his name so that Aunt Luo Ya could get a little shelter in the future.

"I see! I agreed! ”

Thakur smiled, "Do you need me to accompany you?" ”

"I'm so grateful to have the nod from the adults!"

Wu Ming naturally wouldn't be like this, and bowed down directly.

"It's a pity ......"

Looking at the back of him leaving, Thakur was a little regretful, this William knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to be polite, and his key strength is also very good, he is a good choice, but the other party doesn't seem to have this idea, so he naturally won't take the initiative to bring it up, so as not to be embarrassed.

……

"Although the knight is good, it is too difficult to be promoted...... And it is also limited by the oath, which is also a troublesome ......"

Once you become a knight's squire and swear allegiance, it is basically equivalent to being tied to that knight, although it is not impossible to violate, but the consequences are quite serious.

After all, a group of nobles who relied on the rights and obligations of feudal lords and vassals, how many of them were willing to accept knights with a history of breaking their oaths?

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, leaders attach great importance to loyalty.

Not to mention, the promotion path of the servant is also limited to death, unless great luck falls from heaven, it is also the life of the attendant.

Even if he has the protection of a knight and his status is half a level higher than that of a free man, Wu Ming will not take it.

……

Dangdang!

Gold and silver coins rolled down the table, and the tax collector Feder looked at the Kindron and the silver thaler with a very funny expression on his face.

"Five Jindelon, seven silver thalers, you count!"

Wu Ming's voice was not very polite.

Fei De swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked suspiciously, "William, how did you get so much money?" ”

As far as he knew, the expedition was a great defeat, and although the young man in front of him was lucky enough to save Knight Thakur's life, there should be nothing to gain.

"Naturally, it was given by Lord Thakur!"

Wu Ming choked Fei De back with a word, and when he got his approval, he immediately pulled the name of Thakur as a tiger skin: "Bring the tax payment certificate, you must have your signature and seal!" ”

After a while, he held a slip with a smile on his face: "Give this to Aunt Luoya, and William's love will be completely over." ”
