Chapter 518: The Dark Side

【Knight Election】

In the eighteenth year since the establishment of the Holy City, the knightly system was officially implemented, and the [Knight Election] used to select qualified knights was an important event and was scheduled to be held in mid-October every year.

If you want to get a knight,

If you want to get the official qualification to go out of the city to investigate the outside world,

If you want to join the Knights to fight against the higher beings who have brought humanity to a desperate situation, you must pass a series of rigorous tests.

Only knights who truly meet the requirements will be allowed to join the Order.

Those who do not meet the standards enter the Order, and there is no other role than dragging them back.

Eternal Night 78 years.

With the permission of the Parliament, the royal family invested a lot of money, and the Thirteen Knights gave teachers resources, and the [National Royal Knight Academy] was officially established.

Give newcomers who have passed through the destiny space for the first time a fixed learning place, provide high-quality teaching facilities, and give professional training, which greatly improves the breaking rate of each trainee knight.

At the end of the fourth academic year, graduates who have successfully broken the seed will be elected as knights.

Through various tests, students are qualified to enter the Knights, and join the Knights that are suitable for them, and officially start the investigation and exploration outside the city, and sacrifice their hearts for human freedom.

Those who excel during the election will also receive special awards and privileges.

The Holy City also encourages such a 'preferred' mechanism, and is committed to cultivating elite knights who can take charge of their own affairs.

……

However.

The Holy City does not hand over all the tasks of knight training to the National Royal Knights, and some 'special' students will be trained in an alternative way.

The specific cultivation channels that are currently known include:

【Holy See】

Seventy percent of the knights in the Holy Knights are from the Holy See's training of holy knights...... Of course, in addition to training members of the clergy, the Holy See will also train some knights with unique characteristics.

【Associations】

Knights born in nobility can be directly transported to associations with the ability to train knights through family connections, such as the Magic Association, the Warrior Association, the Nature Association, and so on.

It should be noted here that in the decades prior to the establishment of the National Order of the Queens, various associations were used to train apprentice knights.

Newcomers will choose to join different associations for training according to their own characteristics and preferences.

However, the system of associations is not perfect, and the associations are independent of each other, which leads to many deaths of newcomers due to competition problems.

Moreover, individual associations pay more attention to the cultivation of outstanding people, and a more serious 'hierarchical distinction' has been formed internally...... Some newcomers with mediocre talent don't get any resources at all, and in the end they have to give up becoming knights.

After the establishment of the National Queen's Knight Academy.

These associations are still retained, and some of the nobles with connections will still choose to follow the path of association training.

However, the above [Holy See] plus [Association] only accounts for 15% of the total number of knights in the general election.

Moreover, the cultivation of the guild has become more and more downhill with the passage of time, as long as it is not for those stubborn people who stick to the rules, the average nobleman will send their descendants to the knight academy.

Then, this year was a little different.

With the return of Alex and Malone, a mysterious area beneath the Hades Stairs opens up.

A group of underground people who have no identity registration in the Holy City are officially revealed to the public.

……

"Tomorrow I will go to the [Knight Headquarters] to register for the Knight Election...... Why don't you accompany someone tonight? Shall we go together tomorrow?

And also...... People are willing to tell you the secret of breaking the seed before the election! ”

Han Dong waited until Mia hatched out of the silk sac before returning to the city together.

The two of them are standing under the Dark Moon Tower.

Mia was leaning into Han Dong's arms, her fingers constantly rolling around her chest.

After breaking the seed, Mia is significantly different from before.

Mia, who had needed half a mask to block and suppress the spider's curse, has taken off her mask completely.

A fully revealed countenance, delicate with a hint of beauty and unique seduction.

At the same time, Mia's pupils were completely dyed purple due to the breakage.

The proportions of the body are more perfect due to the 'insect transformation', and the bee waist is hips and long legs...... If the reader is foot controlled, there are also six extra long legs to meet your visual needs.

Due to the seed-breaking incident, Mia is also more infatuated with Han Dong.

"Let's wait until I see Mr. Black and White...... Since the return of Commander Ma Long, the Holy City seems to have changed somewhat. ”

"Okay."

【Stargazing Room】

Mr. Black and White called the two of them to naturally show that the [Hades Ladder] has reopened and is completely open to the outside world after fifty years.

This is also a major decision made by the Thirteen Knights, the Royal Family, and the Holy See in recent times.

The Great Expedition is near.

For the first time, the dark side of the Holy City will be revealed.

"Hades Steps, the Dark Side...... Sure enough, there are hidden institutions at the lower end of the Holy City. ”

Mr. Black & White explains:

"The dark side of the Holy City is bigger than you think.

Initially, due to the discovery that 'metallic copper' could dispel life outside the city, the Holy City chose to build on a huge area of ore veins, and spent the first thirty years collecting copper ore from the underground area.

After the mining was completed, the underground area was not completely enclosed.

After the proposal of some far-sighted councillors, the Supreme Council decided to keep the lower half of the area, and officially launched the "Dark Side Project", which is also a major means of preservation for the Holy City.

The main bases of the Knights of Hell, the Knights of the Black Rose, and the Knights of the End of Life are all set below.

The headquarters of the Night's Watch is also located in the underground area.

The meaning of the existence of the dark side is to secretly ensure the safety of the holy city.

Many things that may affect the stability of the Holy City, but are inconvenient to deal with through formal channels, will be handled by the 'dark side'.

Because of his clean handling of the dark side, he helped the Holy City solve many problems, and was directly approved by the Central Council.

Over time, the underground area has also grown stronger.

Proposed by several major knights, a training institution similar to the National Royal Knight Academy was established in the underground area, but it never openly recruited trainee knights.

Only apprentice knights who meet the 'dark side traits' and 'talent standards' will be invited.

Before the underground area is completely open to the public.

Once a trainee knight who trains and studies in the underground area graduates, there will be two paths for them to choose from.

The best will be recruited directly into the Knights associated with the Underground Zone.

Most of them will be the reserve army of the Night's Watch, working for the Holy City in the shadows...... As long as you perform well and get permission, you can also become an official Night Watch and join the Order.

Currently, the dark side is completely open to the public.

In this year's knight election, this group of dark side students who are training underground will also join in...... The competition is unusually large, so you must be prepared.

Failure to be elected to the Order will be detrimental to your future development. ”
