Chapter 7: The Righteous Knight

The Seven Spirit Knights are the only nobles in the empire who can have fiefs, and each of them symbolizes the spirit of the Holy Spirit, which are justice, loyalty, logic, strength, love, fate, and death. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info In which justice is the primary Holy Spirit of the Etalon Cult, perhaps it is the ridicule of fate or the fault of the ancestors' speech, the Righteous Knights Pendragon are the least powerful of the Seven Holy Spirit Knights.

Taught from an early age to follow the commandments of the Knight of the Holy Spirit, Ogust Pendragon took over the title of Knight of Justice from his father at the age of 21. The hereditary knight of the Holy Spirit to August is here the fourteenth generation, a symbol of tradition and honor, an unquestionable sacred rank.

The vows of the year kept echoing in my ears:

I will be merciful to the weak

I will face a strong enemy bravely

I will stand up to sinners without reservation

I will fight for what I can't fight

I will help those who need my help

Augst never doubted what he was doing, and never allowed it to do. To be a knight of justice is to abandon all other things, because the name is carried by him, and the ideal of justice is also carried by him.

There are many injustices in the world, and the common people are powerless to do anything about them, but everyone believes it. There must be someone who is righteous, someone who is the absolute embodiment of this virtue.

People hope that righteous people will do righteous things when they come. For the sake of the ideals of Yunyun, Augst resolutely stood firm in his own justice, everyone's justice. What the voice of grief prays for is justice, and what all people agree on is justice, and August is so firm.

No one knows that during the Civil War, as the army of Tours was approaching, Ogst killed his father. Disobeying the orders of the Empire, he abandoned the city of Laoyar and led his people and soldiers to take refuge in the north. It is a kind of justice to obey orders and die in battle with honor, but how is it not justice to save the people and pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages? On the eve of the arrival of the 100,000-strong army of Tours, Augst made an obvious choice in the midst of countless laments and despair. The city of Laual suffered no or almost no casualties in this siege battle.

No one disputed this decision, no one exposed the crime, and the soldiers and people silently followed their lord's commander, and the empire still believes that the city of Lauar was attacked and lost by the Tours army.

When the people in the wilderness still smile at the sight of their familiar faces, it is as if the clouds of war had never brewed in the sky. Everyone except Ogst was happy. Justice is carried out, justice is fulfilled, even if it is in the midst of such an unethical fire.

Gradually, the courtiers found their lords becoming more and more depressed. He locked himself in the tower's room, screaming and tearing apart the straw men he used for practice, smashing all the decorations that could be smashed in a rage. Many people think that the spirit of the lord has been broken, and all the cruelty has swallowed up the beauty of the ideal, bit by bit until the empty heart is only crazy.

However, Augst deals with government affairs every day and adjudicates criminals. Everything is still so normal, and all choices are still so just. This can't help but make the people even more worried, and even hope that their lords will lose their minds like normal people. Things slowly calmed down, and the crime of killing his father no longer tortured Ogst's conscience, because people still need a righteous king to implement the choices that many people can't make.

The more this choice, the more people talk about it: the lord is a machine without humanity. People talked about it, but in the face of the lord's impeccable righteousness, although they felt that something was abnormal, they still couldn't point it out. Whenever a question arises that makes a philosopher hesitate, the lord always makes a decisive decision. Even if life is placed at opposite ends of the scale, the lord can see that the side is heavier, and arbitrarily give up the unworthy side.

Later, Augst married a wife, in a sense, he was also telling himself that you are not an inhuman thing, and comforting himself that all these frustrations were the price paid by ideals.

Augst's reign began with the will of the people, and finally from the will of the people. Through this suspicion and discussion, it is clear that the people have a deeper understanding of justice, and their own knowledge can no longer make a righteous person. People need more satisfactory rulings, more intelligent rule, and these are things that Augst could not give.

Augst plans to get away from the city one day. I don't have to make these decisions anymore, and I don't have to be haunted by many past events. Go and see the dense forests that are rarely inhabited, and the grasslands where the sky is high and the clouds are wide. When the time comes, ask your father: Am I doing the right thing?

When the 32-year-old Ogst left, his people came out to see him off, and most of them did not understand why their lord had left. But everyone agrees that no one but Augst is worthy of the Sword of the Sages. With the sword of his hometown and the blessings of countless people, Augst has been wandering outside for a year.

There are many injustices in the world, and no matter how righteous judgment is made, perfect decisions cannot be made. When his father and the lives of the whole city were put together, he chose the side of justice. How can the act of killing the father be called justice? To insist that the sacrifice of such a small righteousness can achieve greater justice, but how can the act of denying a righteous act for a purpose be called justice?

The landscape of the empire has been seen in detail, and the stars in the sky are beginning to get tired. The former Righteous Knight sat in the tavern of Estile, which was the trading port of Tours, and many rumors spread through it. Augst often lingered here, looking for a place where he needed himself.

If fate wants to choose its own warriors, it will definitely bring the words here. But the embodiment of justice cannot wait for the opportunity to shine, and perhaps no one needs the embodiment of justice anymore, and this level of peace after the war is already a great gift. People are desperately clinging to the brief lull, and the demand for justice has become extravagant.

If there is anything that can carry out justice and erase all suffering and difficult choices from the world, only God has power.

"The Staff of Truth? Don't tease me. The two men in shabby clothes chatted.

"It's true, everyone says that the heir of the White family has left Kanta to find the Stick of Truth. ”

"Blessed do not know how to enjoy, but they have to run out and suffer. ”

"You're stupid, if that White wasn't sure about the Stick of Truth, he wouldn't have gone to find it himself. It is said that all the property has been given to relatives, and I think he is bound to get it. ”

Next to him, Ogst, who was wearing an old knight's armor, sat down at the table between the two: "This White, where can I find him?"

A staggering fate eventually finds the frustrated Holy Spirit Knight and promises him a future of infinite possibilities.
