(I can't hold on anymore, I don't know if I'll fall asleep.) Hold on!! Don't lose!! ）

In the early morning of October 11th, Xiao Yan and those dwarves walked out of the tavern one after another, and outside the tavern, ten punishment knights had been standing solemnly for a long time. Last night, Xiao Yan suddenly possessed the ability of a level 3 priest, which had already shocked these punishment knights. They didn't even need to use magic to give additional notice from the side of the Church Mountain, they had already spontaneously assembled here in the morning to see them off. To be precise, to see off a person who "does not seek the dignity of the church, but preaches the voice of the Lord in the world".

If Xiao Yan had a teaching position, these punishment knights would immediately follow Xiao Yan, whether he took the dwarves with him or not.

In fact, in recent years, the Church has also cultivated its own armed forces among dwarves and giants, and even the barbarians in Scandinavia have been one of the Church's development goals. The ground forces of the barbarians may not be as mobile as the knights, but in terms of ferocity in battle, they are not much worse than the knights of the Holy See.

Behind these knights, in addition to their unified greatsword, there was also a green branch, which was a "jungle" relic that Xiao Yan had created last night. Once you stop dripping holy water on those branches, the saplings will die quickly in the bitter cold. For this reason, last night, after Xiao Yan finished a performance in Zuihou in Tosto, he personally broke the branches of the trees around him one by one. Just as the Roman emperor gave the branches of the laurel tree to his generals, Xiao Yan gave them to his subjects, among other things. There were just ten extra branches. was given to those punishment knights by Xiao Yan.

What does such a branch mean? Only the Knights of Punishment can appreciate it.

Little Fryman was blessed by the Lord. With the strength of a level 3 priest, the woods that appeared with little Fryman to show the power of little Fryman's holy water represent the proof of the Lord.

The main woods are to prove that the miracles made by little Fryman were promised and approved by the Lord.

Therefore, these trunks signify a testimony of the Lord, or even a praise of the Lord. It was not an ordinary branch, but it had a uniform name: "Holy Relic".

Possess a living relic! What a privilege is this?

From the moment these branches are received. These knights and dwarves will automatically take on the "responsibility" of those branches, and they must at all times prove the miracle caused by little Fryman, and they must make the only circumstantial evidence that little Fryman's devotion to the Lord has blessed him. In gaining this responsibility, they also received from the branches a testimony of the Lord, and even a praise from the Lord. And that compliment stays with them for the rest of their lives.

Not to mention that the dwarves would be overjoyed when they received such branches, even the well-informed knights of punishment trembled when they received them.

There is no need to think about what such a branch will bring, the presence of the holy relic cannot be replaced by anything.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Fryman. If you need it, we will be there for you as soon as possible. ”

The Captain of the Punishment Knight squad bowed slightly to little Fryman. The scarlet made a Kerala sound on him, and the green branches behind him looked delicate against the snow, and he continued, "If you need it, we will go to the Rose Collar for some time to come." Lord Yanni has considered forming a new brigade of Church Knights in the Rose Territory, and if possible, I hope you will be able to name it. ”

Xiao Yan's face was a little strange, and he could vaguely guess what this new team of church knights would eventually become. If you are not mistaken, this brigade of knights formed within the borders of the Holy Roman Empire will become a famous order in the Crusades a hundred years later. It was the Teutonic Knights (OT), composed entirely of German nobility.

"Help all the pious, rescue all the pious, and guard the Lord and his servants, Amen."

Xiao Yan said this, then turned his head and walked towards the exit of Tosto. He turned around quickly, and put on his hood for the first time, because he didn't want to see the intoxicated and praising expression of the captain of the punishment knight, which made Xiao Yan really couldn't help but smile.

"Help, rescue, guard, Amen!"

Together, the knights drew a cross on their chests and bowed their heads in prayer. A moment later, the captain of the knights lifted his mask, and it was the one who was angry because of the dwarves' revenge, bowed his head under Xiao Yan's reprimand, and was finally forgiven by Xiao Yan. His face was indeed as Xiao Yan imagined, with a look of intoxication and piety. For Xiao Yan's words just now, the squad leader praised in a low voice: "My lord, you let me know everything, my lord, your walk has pointed me in the direction." Praise! ”

Under the gaze of the knight squad leader, Xiao Yan and his subjects' backs quickly disappeared into the snow. I don't know when it started, the sky began to rain snowflakes again, and in such snowflakes, Xiao Yan's footprints were quickly submerged, and finally, this shijie became white and silent again.

"Aren't you going to form your own army on your own? Your Excellency? ”

Hearing Carpenter's question, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly. It's not that Xiao Yan doesn't want to have such a thing, it's just that he doesn't even know what his territory is, how much can he take out to form an army?

Besides, who will be used to form an army? Farmer? Shepherd? Or are these dwarves?

"I need to pay the nobility tax, exempt from the military service tax, and in addition to that, the nobility fief also needs to be paid. In addition, the donation from the monastery was a large amount, and only after all these expenses were removed could I know how much I would get, and finally be able to form a knightly order, or a guard squad of a dozen people. ”

Xiao Yan said this, he was still a little unsure of what was in the Rose Leader.

Wait, Rose Collar? Xiao Yan's body suddenly certain, and he finally remembered this place with a very familiar but unfamiliar name, the old lich, Kel'thugad. And the female knight Leia, who suddenly made him see the secret below. Wait, that Rhea said that the castle was in trouble, and there is a younger brother, could it be that the younger brother is talking about this little Fryman?

But the question is, what is going on with the fact that Leia said that her brother should be in the castle at that time, and now little Fryman is still on his way back to the Rose Territory? Could it be that this trial shijie is going back in time? Or are these two different trials at all, just with the same name as Rose Collar?

All this, when he sees his "sister", he will probably be able to reveal the truth, and before that, Xiao Yan feels that he has more important things to do.

Last night's mage level exploded, and he found that he was not far from the 5-ring mage, in other words, it was not far from building his own magic circle pool. However, he never figured out what the "energy" that those high-ring mages were talking about.

The existence of the circle is a miracle in itself, and at the same time a strange bug, at least for this shijie. To become a trialist and an awakened person, the use of power requires energy no matter what. In other words, it's an equivalent exchange, paying effort in exchange for skill. The problem is, the circle doesn't seem to require energy, it's just created out of thin air. So where do these circles come from? Void energy? Or do these circles need to pay something else to obtain?

For example, "yes".

The permanent spell pool is able to reserve these powers and pay for the necessary circles at any time, and once the stored energy is depleted, the permanent spell pool will dry up or even collapse. This process once occurred on the Floating Continent, where the permanent spell pools built by the Eighteen-Ring Super Ring Mages who sacrificed their lives eventually dried up and collapsed due to the selfish actions of the elves. In the end, when the elves needed the support of the magic circle the most and fought the demons, they fell into a bitter battle because they did not have enough magic circles.

It can even be understood in this way, the entire Shijie Tree is also a more super permanent spell pool, the former elves exchanged for the magic circle by paying "energy", and in the later stage, because the elves no longer pay energy, they only care about drawing the magic circle, and finally the Shijie Tree cannot maintain the floating continent, so there was the disaster 20,000 years ago?

Because of this, the Shijie Tree has made a certain provision, and it will become very difficult to obtain a large number of magic circle effects on the ground, and it will become very difficult to become a mage. According to those novels, the "aura" is insufficient, or is the "magic web" collapsing? In fact, it is not the problem of the aura and the magic net, but the exchange rules have changed.

So, what exactly are those "cans"?

Xiao Yan subconsciously raised the crown in his hand, he was curbing his urge to bring this crown. This crown was reserved for the elven descendant Fryman Jr., not his, and wearing it for a long time was likely to bring about some situation beyond Xiao Yan's control. It is even possible that little Fryman's will gradually grow, and eventually swallow Xiao Yan's will in turn.

However, this crown always seemed to call Xiao Yan all the time, let him take it, and this call even had a strong demagogic effect. Xiao Yan has many times unconsciously wanted to wear the crown on his head after watching those metal pieces. If you weren't alert enough, who knows what will happen later.

Looking at this crown, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the things in the ruins, where, as a native, he had become an awakened person like an elf, and those exquisitely carved transparent floating windows lingered in front of his eyes repeatedly.

Wait, Xiao Yan suddenly breathed harder, could it be that "can" is that? (To be continued......)
