Chapter 40: The Blackwater Precepts
"That's what outsiders call them, and within the Knights, you only need to call each other by their first names." Retracting his hand, Lars looked at Su Yan again, showing a flattering smile, "Vivian, are you free lately, I'm going to the north in a few days, ...... before I go back"
"It's a pity, Lars," Su Yan said with a regretful expression, "I've applied for a new exploration mission and I'm going to make some preparations. ”
Lars seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not frustrated at all, but changed his words: "It's just right, I also have to prepare, so I'll go to the Blackwater Laboratory with you to pick something." ”
"......" The corners of Su Yan's eyes jumped, and finally nodded helplessly.
"This Lars seems to have the intention to pursue Su Yan," seeing this scene, Sun Dao felt a chill in his heart, "Although Su Yan is good-looking, this character is really terrible, it is estimated that Lars was deceived by her cool side." ”
After getting the answer he wanted, Lars said with satisfaction: "Let's go in, the other knights have a task to do, so I will be the representative to witness the joining ceremony of Roude." ”
"The other knights can't come?" Sun Dao was a little surprised, he thought that he would be able to see all the members of the regiment from the head of the regiment to the members of the regiment today, but he didn't expect that only one person came, but he looked at Su Yan again, but there was no surprise on the latter's face, which was obviously expected.
Seeing Sun Dao's thoughts, Lars explained: "In the past two days, the dark forces and some anti-social forces have made reasonable trouble, and several knights in the city have their own tasks, so there is no way to rush over, if you are willing to wait for a while, then when you join the group, there will be many knights coming." ”
"A reserve knight, there is no need to engage in such a big battle, and he is not a titled knight," Su Yan interrupted directly, and looked at Sun Dao with a sincere and admonishing expression, "Ruode, you have to remember that the so-called reserve knight is a knight candidate, but after all, it is not a titled knight, there is a difference in status, you don't want to be complacent." ”
Looking at Su Yan with a serious face, Sun Dao's face was a little strange, especially the taste of sincere admonition, as if an elder was caring about the juniors, which made Sun Dao feel particularly absurd.
"Vivien, you're still so serious," Lars shrugged, "but it's good that you're so strict," he also said to Sun Dao, "There aren't many reserve knights, but each of them has good skills, you shouldn't take them lightly, look down on them, but if you become a reserve knight and get an imitation holy weapon, you can prolong your life, as long as you don't die in battle and exercise for a long time, you will definitely be able to achieve something." ”
"Don't pour him confused soup," Su Yan shook his head, and admonished Sun Dao with a straight face, "Don't be lucky, don't talk about preparing knights, even if the official knights have almost no good deaths, they live longer than others, so they naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences, and everything in the world is balanced." ”
Looking at the slightly compassionate face in front of him, Sun Dao was very similar to asking: "Then when you died and asked for money, why didn't you think of responsibilities and obligations?" Then he saw Lars's gentle smile on his face, and he felt that if he didn't end this topic quickly, he would not be able to help but expose Su Yan's true nature.
"Okay, I see," Sun Dao nodded, looking instructed, and then changed his words, "But didn't Sir Brad and Ser Sauron come?" I also want to thank them in person. ”
Sir Brad supported himself in the vote, and Sauron was the proposer, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Sir Brad is acting with the people of the Police Department, his mission is very secretive, and he cannot be contacted for the past two days, as for Sir Sauron," Lars shook his head helplessly, "this man is always on the front line, unless there is no mission, or he is officially knighted, I am afraid it will be difficult to see him." ”
"That's a pity......"
The three of them talked as they walked, and came to the innermost part of the hall, in front of the tall door.
Crunch......
As if by induction, the door opened on its own, revealing the scene behind the door.
"Like an opera house!"
This was Sun Dao's first feeling when he saw the scene in the inner hall, and then he saw the huge round table, behind which stood an old man, dressed in a monk's robe, looking straight at himself.
Sun Dao could judge from the wrinkles on the other party's face that the presiding judge was very old, considering the longevity factor of the Blackwater Knights, this one's age would probably be beyond imagination, but if you look closely, you can find that the old man is tall and strong, and there are no other signs of old age except for his face.
"This is the presiding judge that Su Yan said, right? He's the only one? Isn't there a regimental commander? Since it is called the Blackwater Knights, it should be like the Teutonic Knights and the Livonian Knights, there should be a Grand Master, right? ”
Sun Dao thought, and under the whispering and urging of the two people behind him, he slowly walked into the hall, and at this time, across the huge round table, the presiding judge slowly spoke: "You are Nord. Firth? ”
There was a peculiar rhythm in his voice, a bit of an old man's trill, but it was more like some kind of singing tone, which blew away all Sun Dao's thoughts at once.
"Yes." Sun Dao nodded.
The presiding judge's expression remained unchanged and beckoned: "Come here." There was a taste in the voice that could not be refuted and resisted.
Sun Dao had already heard Su Yan talk about the process, so he naturally wouldn't resist, but when he walked up to the presiding judge, he obviously felt a broad and majestic fluctuation from the other party, and he didn't know if it was based on a psychic signal or the mysterious power of this world.
However, under the influence of this fluctuation, the awe of power from the bottom of his heart inevitably appeared in Sun Dao's heart, which was not about will and courage, but pure biological instinct.
Just when Sun Dao was under pressure because of this force, the presiding judge asked, "Nord. Firth, my child, will you leave the ordinary and embark on the path of the extraordinary? ”
"Yes." Sun Dao had heard Su Yan's explanation and knew how to deal with it at this time.
The presiding judge nodded, and said: "The Blackwater Knights have an ancient history, in the earliest days, they fought with the king of the three islands, and the heroic appearance of that king is engraved in the history of Angesaland, even if the blood of the successor is different, he is still admired, and one day, he will return, before that, the knights must guard his territory and not let the darkness contaminate this sacred land." ”
Sun Dao knew that the king of the three islands in the mouth of the chief judge was actually born according to a certain legend in the present world, but he was not sure whether his person existed in the historical process of the Shadow City world, and he naturally could not truly understand the return of this king.
After all, the return of the deceased, in some works of reality, is often accompanied by darkness rather than sacredness.
However, Sun Dao also understood that protecting the territory before the return of the king was the founding purpose of the Blackwater Knights, the spiritual pillar and source, and it could not be desecrated, even if the kingdom of Angesaland was established by immigrants across the sea after the Age of the Seven Kings, it still could not change the purpose and beliefs of the Blackwater Knights.
What's more, the Kingdom of Angesaland is not an orthodox Mishima bloodline in legal theory, but the current royal family is from the northern highlands, and it can be regarded as the heir of the ancient bloodline, so it will cooperate so closely with the Blackwater Knights, and even the princesses of several generations ago have joined the Knights.
Some of these news were told to Sun Dao by Su Yan, and some of them were known to him, and now facing the presiding judge, it flowed through his heart.
On the other side, the presiding judge still nodded, and said slowly: "If you join the Knights, your life will go into history and become a part of this country and this world, so you must remember the Blackwater Ring set by the King of the Three Islands......"
"First, thou shalt not enter into darkness;"
"Second, there must be no abuse of power;"
"Third, don't betray the Knights."
As if singing the three precepts, the presiding judge's eyes shone brightly, and he looked directly at Sun Dao.
"These three articles must be kept in mind, if you can't abide by them in the future, someone will end your transcendental."
