Dai Lan reached out and touched his arms, which was a small diamond-shaped piece of iron. There are some floral patterns carved on it, which is very exquisite.

With a flick of his wrist, the small piece of metal flew towards James and was grabbed by him.

Unfold the palm of your hand, and in the palm of your hand is a small badge. In the middle, three male lions are carved, which are vivid. The edges of the diamond-shaped badge are extremely smooth and rounded.

The special feature is that there are three purple bars drawn on a corner. The cell was brightly lit, and the light shone on the thin bars, faintly emitting light.

"This is yours?" James couldn't believe that this young man named Dai Lan, who had no foundation in magic and martial arts, was actually a third-level punishment knight. It's even slightly half a level higher than himself.

The knightly system at the time was both strict and clear.

Every autumn, knightly rank exams are held across the country. Each small town chooses its own personnel first, and then participates in the main competition of the large region.

The main competition is divided into three rounds, namely the Knight Theory Exam, the Actual Battle with the Coach Exam, and the most brutal Death Mode Match.

The theory exam, as the name suggests, is a written test. List some essentials of knight swordsmanship and boxing in advance, and let the candidates fill in the blanks or judge whether these essentials are correct. Finally, I would like to write some thoughts and opinions on knight swordsmanship.

It's more difficult to actually play against the coach. Ordinary people or low-level knights who participate in the rank test must be tested by high-level knights, and only those who can be undefeated in 20 rounds are likely to advance to the next round.

Death mode matches are the scariest of all. All candidates who pass the first two rounds of the exam are divided into groups according to the knight level they applied for. Each group begins an intra-group scuffle. Regardless of life or death, or injury, the remaining 30% of the people are considered to have passed the knight assessment.

After these three rounds of selection, high-ranking knights, such as the Knight of Glory or the Knight of Light, will give candidates a reasonable rank.

Everyone who is qualified to become a knight can be said to crawl out of the pile of dead people, and there is absolutely no chance of luck.

Therefore, when James saw Dai Lan holding the badge of the Punishment Knight in his hand, a look of surprise and fear arose.

Especially on the coat of arms, those three majestic, mighty lions!

Everyone, after becoming a knight, has two paths to choose.

The first way is to apply to become a knight of the state.

In fact, it is equivalent to becoming a member of the army, as the saying goes, joining the army.

The advantage is that the salary is stable, and basically the lowest-ranking apprentice knight can get five silver kronor a month, which is half a gold louis. And, if there is no obvious infraction, you can continue to work.

The disadvantage is that he is not free, he has to go out to drill every day, and he often wades through mountains and rivers to participate in battles.

The second way is to apply to become a knight of some powerful families.

The advantage is that it is free and chic. This kind of work is similar to the thugs in the ancient Huaxia Kingdom (reference: Huaxia Kingdom's famous novel "Water Margin" is mentioned a lot), and it usually does not require training. At the same time, different families have different treatments. For example, a wealthy ducal family, a low-ranking apprentice knight, can get a gold louis every month!

The downside is that the profession is unstable. At any time, you may lose your job because of a word from the head of the family.

And the three lions on the blue badge are the family symbols. It's just that this family is more bullish. Force, it's the royal family of England!

Royal knights, selected from among the knights of the country. Come out and serve exclusively to members of the royal family. This kind of knight is definitely higher than all knights, and it is the ultimate dream of every martial arts practitioner.

James looked at the badge again and again, and felt more and more that the small piece of iron in his hand weighed heavily on his hand. Moreover, his opinion of Dai Lan has changed again: this kid either has great ability or has a big backer.

Of course, the possibility of a big backer is a little greater.

This rough-branched knight, all thoughts are written on his face, Dai Lan has been withdrawn since he was a child, but he has cultivated the ability to quietly observe people's minds. So what James thought, Dai Lan guessed eight. Nine is not far from ten.

The young man pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart: Lao Tzu just has a big backer, say it, and scare you to death.

James Knight respectfully returned the little badge to Dai Lan, and at the same time felt a little more sure that Miss Emily was saved.

Dai Lan placed the badge on the back of his hand, and with a slight turn of his thumb and forefinger, the small diamond-shaped iron object kept rolling on his slender fingertips.

The boy closed his eyes and couldn't help but think about how to crack Emily's magic virus.

The pine branch oil lamps were blazing on the walls, and the cold wind coming from outside the cell door ignited the flames, and the flames reflected the shadows of the two men on the opposite wall.

The black shadows danced back and forth, indescribably weird and depressing.

Day Blue enjoyed the Last Supper, and even reminisced about Yorkshire lamb chops and Scottish Highland whisky.

And James doesn't have such a good appetite. I swallowed two roasted potatoes with patience, but I began to regurgitate.

When it was time to put away the dishes, there were several footsteps outside, and at the same time I remembered a few crisp knocks on the door.

James hurried to the door, stuck his head out, pressed his mouth to the railing of the iron door and shouted, "Brother knight guarding outside, Mr. Dai Lan in the cell can save Miss Emily." Please allow him to go and see the eldest lady! ”

The knight outside sneered twice, with a hint of oiliness, and said leisurely: "My poor James knight, don't struggle. What has become of our esteemed Miss Emily under your protection. You have to wait for Sir Jonad's punishment for you. ”

"You! You're such an abominable person. A trace of chagrin and resentment flashed across James' face, "Griff, I took pity on you and introduced you to the position of the Robertson family knights. But now you will take revenge. I see, you want to be the Knight Captain of the Guard! ”

The man named Griff, his voice came from outside the door: "Replacing you is a better choice for the Knights of the Robertson Family." If it weren't for the fact that you have been my recommender, with my ability, I would have challenged your position a long time ago. ”

Dai Lan immediately heard the relationship between the two people, it seems that intrigue has existed in the ancient Middle Ages!

James was about to say something, and Dai Lan interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

The two men put away the dishes and handed them out along the square hole under the door.

When the people outside the door were about to leave, Dai Lan flicked his fingers, and the small four-corner badge flew out at the same time, lying upright on the dinner plate with a crisp sound.

"Dang!"

The sound attracted the attention of several people outside the door.

"What! The royal family's Punishment Knight Badge! The man named Griff exclaimed, "How can you have the royal coat of arms?!" ”

Dai Lan frowned, and scolded in his heart, what a fool, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard!

The young man sighed, fiddled with a slightly split fingernail, and said indifferently, "I want to see your patriarch and Miss Emily." ”

After a pause, he said unhurriedly: "In front of so many people, you won't hide the request of a royal knight from your master!" ”

There was the sound of gnashing teeth and pinching finger bones outside, and everyone left in silence.
