Chapter 8: The Origin of the Knight

Over the course of two months, Geneosis and Blake's fitness skyrocketed. Of course, it's not that much stronger, because their physical condition itself is a bit bad. They have gone from being skinny before, to two slightly chubby little boys, who look a lot cuter than before.

The vast majority of people on the mainland are blonde, pale blonde kinds. Before, their hair was a little yellow due to malnutrition, but now it is back to normal.

They were cleaning up inside the Knights' Headquarters. But the workload is not large, the personnel of the logistics department still know how to arrange it, and Vilnis's intention is only to give a step for Genosis to go down, so as not to let him have any psychological burden. After all, how fast can two children sweep the floor? It's just a formalism.

On February 11, 1344 in the continental calendar, the conscription of reserve knights in the kingdom of Angel began, which lasted for a week. During this period, the Knight Branch and its subordinate Knights would send people to towns, principalities, kingdoms and other areas throughout the Imperial Kingdom to set up knight selection examinations to test children of appropriate age who could become knights.

And this age, is 6 years old. Now Genosis and Blake are 10 years old.

In general, there are very few knights who can be recruited each year. Because, in the name of physical examination, it is actually a talent test.

But apparently Vertis skipped this step directly. Although Veltis couldn't accurately measure their talents, as a peak powerhouse in the continent, he could roughly sense what level their talents had reached.

Virtis taught Genosis and Blake in the room:

"Knights and magicians are different, although they use magic in the same way, but in different ways. More than 1,300 years ago, there was no such rank as a knight in the Kainoran Continent at that time, and only priests who used light attributes were used for healing. Ordinary mages, including elemental mages and priests, use magic based on their own mental strength level. Through spells and spiritual power, spells are laws, and spiritual power is the power that drives the laws, so as to achieve spells that can use basic elements on a large scale, and people call such spells magic. ”

"The knight is based on the light attribute, but the same spiritual power is not used to drive the elements, but to use the spiritual power to absorb the elements into his body to form a reserve. Condensed into a rune of the light elemental aura. Elemental mages also have a small amount of elemental mana stored in their bodies, but the elemental mana in their bodies is only used for activation, which is equivalent to flint and steel, so they don't need much. ”

"The light elemental magic absorbed into the knight's body can strengthen his physical fitness at the same time, which is something that the priest can't do. Because priests are still technically in the category of magicians, light-attribute magicians. ”

"Strictly speaking, the current knight is a kind of magical warrior, although he also uses magic, but his attack range is very small compared to that of ordinary magicians, because most of the magic power is used to strengthen himself. ”

"Therefore, there will be a situation where if a knight of the same rank and a mage of the same rank are duel, the mage will be the loser anyway. ”

"However, on the mainland, the actual status of high-level magicians is much higher than that of knights. I'll tell you why I'll talk about that later. ”

"Since there is a knight's cultivation method, hundreds of years later, there is no shortage of geniuses on the continent, they imitate the knight to use the elements to condense into spiritual runes to strengthen their physical fitness; The wind element, in terms of attribute effects, does not have special effects, only accelerates itself, so most of the attacks in the warrior rank are physical attacks. ”

"So at present, on the mainland, the ranks that can be cultivated are roughly divided as follows:

Demon warriors are spiritual rune cultivators: including but not limited to, knights (light cavalry warriors) and warriors (wind/non-attribute warriors)

Mage: including but not limited to, all kinds of elemental mages (elemental destruction mages), priests (light healing mages)"

"This is the classification of ranks, and the classification of different weapons used in different ranks is called class classification. That's all for today, and tomorrow we'll continue to talk about the classification of arms. ”

The next day, Virtis came early to teach the two of them the basics.

"The classification of the class is not so complicated to understand, for example, knights are generally divided into trial knights and guardian knights according to their functions, and according to the different equipment used, they are divided into light knights, heavy knights, and plate knights, of course, if you are too long, you can also wear cloth armor and leather armor and so on. The defense of these two armors is terrible. ”

"Warriors are generally classified according to the weapons used, and there are many classifications, but they are classified into two types, melee soldiers and distance soldiers. Ranged soldiers generally refer to archers. Saying this, Virtis's face was a little disgusted. After all, the archers play sneak attacks, and the knights pay attention to frontal hard combat.

"Magicians are generally classified according to the elements used, thunder, fire, earth, water, wind, etc., while mages of the light attribute, they are called priests, because the light element cannot cause damage by chanting spells. All spells, most of the effects, are either healing or kicking up a unit. ”

"Okay, that's all for today, are there any problems?" asked Vertis with a sigh of relief.

"Ah, of course, by the way, is there a dark attribute in the elemental classification?" Genosis asked weakly, recalling the scene when Paplov met Geraint.

"What do you ask?!You ask again!"

Veltis's face suddenly became a little strange. Although the voice was not loud, Genosis could clearly feel that his emotions were fluctuating, and an indescribable coercion suddenly emanated from Vertis.

"Uh, it's the dark element, the dark attribute......"

Veltis breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a not very good face: "I thought I heard it wrong. Xiaojie, you may not know if you ask others, but since you are my disciple, I naturally want to explain it clearly to you. ”

"The dark element, the dark attribute, is an alien attribute, an attribute that does not exist on this continent. This element once brought extremely serious disasters to the mainland. Weltiston paused, and continued, "Do you know the continental calendar?"

Blake nodded first and said, "I know, today is February 12, 1344 in the continental calendar. ”

Vertis nodded, and began to tell a piece of history more than a thousand years ago:

"More than 1,400 years ago, at that time, human beings were still a human society established by the Magic Church for the center of the Papal State, and the cultivation at that time was not developed, and the only way to reach the Holy Realm was the magician, but the difficulty of the magician's cultivation was extremely difficult, according to the current statement, the difficulty of the magician's cultivation was about three times more than the difficulty of the normal knight's cultivation. ”

"At that time, the continent was very prosperous, and the center of human society at that time was not the northwest of the continent, as you saw when you looked at the map before. Rather, it is the center of the continent. Later, uh, 1390 years ago, the Demon Emperor came into the world. Demon Emperor. ”

Saying this, Vertis, who was originally proud of his fighting skills, turned ugly: "I won't explain what the Demon Emperor is, anyway, he is a powerful bad guy, and everyone is not his opponent." The Demon Emperor is not simply a person who is simply powerful, he will drive the corpse to continue the fight, such creatures are called undead, and he will also combine with other creatures to create a species with his own attributes. ”

"And this elemental attribute is, the dark attribute. And such a race is called: the demon race. ”

Genosis probably understood why Veltis had suddenly become irritable. Genosis thought for a while, (Isn't Geraint a demon?!)

But he didn't say it.

When Veltis saw that Genosis's face was not very good-looking, he thought that he had frightened him, and said: "Alas, forget it, let's go to dinner quickly, don't mention those so obscure histories." ”

"Eun!" Blake grunted with hunger.

In the evening, while sleeping, Genosis recalled what Vertis had spoken today. Because of Geraint, he was very interested in that period of history more than 1,300 years ago.

Time passed quickly, and the next day, it was time for lectures again.

Veltis thought about what he had preached yesterday and continued today:

"Today we're going to talk about the two categories of knights according to different functions, Blake, you can't remember what I said yesterday?"

Blake was stunned, a string of chicken legs came to his mind, according to Genosis, this guy didn't know why he couldn't get tired of eating chicken legs.

Genosis was about to answer, but was stopped by Veltys and said, "Let him answer." ”

Under the coercion and temptation of Vertis and even the intimidation of the chicken legs to eat, Blake said tremblingly: "The Guardian Knight and the Judge Knight." ”

Virtis nodded with great satisfaction.

"Today I want to tell you about these two types of knights, and their differences. ”

"The knight of judgment, the knight of offense. A guardian knight is a knight who focuses on defense. In general, the Judge Knights wear light or heavy armor, while the Guardian Knights wear plate armor. The reason for this is that armor that is too bulky will have a negative impact on the attack, such as slow speed, inflexible joints, etc. ”

"The weapons commonly used by the knights of the Judgment include, but are not limited to, the saber, that is, the two-handed sword, the knight's spear, the standard cavalry sword, and so on. The guardian knights commonly use standard knight short swords, standard knight shields, knight double swords, etc. ”

"I've made it clear to you that as for what you want to learn, it will depend on how well you learn the basic skills of cavalry in the future. Veltis said lightly.

Looking at the two of them, who were getting fatter and fatter and their physical functions had almost recovered, Veltis smiled a little maliciously in his heart. As for why I said it was ill-intentioned, it was probably because......

If you've ever seen the training plan that Virtis has made, you'll think it's crazy!
