"If one day, I can really fly in the sky, I must let these two guys know how good I am!"

Feeling his body gliding off the ground, such a thought flashed in Qin Shaofu's heart. Before the thought disappeared, there was a muffled grunt, and it had fallen heavily to the ground.

There was a burst of laughter from behind him, extremely disdainful: "A guy with oriental blood, who also wants to be a knight, is simply a dream." Roll as far as you can, never come, I'm afraid I can't help but strangle you directly next time. ”

Immediately, more laughter rang out, one after another, like a basin of cold water poured on Qin Shaofu's heart, making him so angry that there was smoke above his head. If it weren't for the fact that he was weak and unable to move at the moment, he really wanted to rush over and die with those who were laughing at him.

Unfortunately, he could only think so, and with a creak, the door closed, and those people didn't even have the heart to laugh at him.

From time to time, people walked around on both sides, but no one had the intention of coming to take a look, and there was only a sneer and disdain in the eyes that glanced over.

"This is the legendary guy, right? he would come over every time the Templars were taking exams, and every time they would be beaten half-dead and thrown out. ”

"Oriental blood...... It's stupid, the Imperial Knights still recruit almost only children of Western blood, let alone the more strict Templar Order. ”

"Although according to the regulations, as long as you defeat the examiner, you can become a trainee knight, but how can a person who can become an examiner be so easy to defeat, not to mention that every examiner who is responsible for recruiting trainee knights under the age of eighteen has the strength of the sixth rank or above, it would be good for this kid to have the second rank of the Xuan rank, how could it be possible. ”

"If it weren't for the benevolence of the God of Light, this kind of fool would have been killed a long time ago......"

“......”

All kinds of ridicule, cold words, like the sound of a bee flapping its wings came into his ears from all directions, causing Qin Shaofu to clench his fists tightly before letting go for a long time.

"Failed again, for the seventh time!"

The knightly exam is once every six months, he has been trying since he was fifteen years old, and he has never fallen behind each time, and today is the seventh time, but unfortunately, the result is the same.

Lost in his heart, after his body regained a certain strength, Qin Shaofu got up and staggered towards the front under the disdainful gaze of a group of people.

This place is called the Imperial Capital, the capital of the Holy Empire and the largest city of the Holy Empire. Prosperity exudes infinite charm, but at the same time, it also has an extremely cruel reality.

In this city, there are hundreds of nobles who are born with superhuman power, wealth, and resources, and they can easily get the things that ordinary people pursue for a lifetime.

As a common man, even if you have gained a lot of wealth through business, you are always a pariah class and inferior. And as an ordinary person, if you want to get ahead and shine on the lintel, the best way is to become a knight.

But it is not so easy to become a knight, even if you become a trainee knight through layers of screening, if you want to become a real knight, you have to continue to make contributions and go a long way.

And for a civilian like Qin Shaofu with Oriental blood, it would be even more difficult.

The Holy Empire was founded by the Germanic and Saxon peoples, and the most honorable profession in this country was knighthood. More than ninety percent of the knights are pure Germanic and Saxon, only a few knights are of other bloods, and those knights can enjoy that glory because of their great achievements, and few are not strong.

Like Qin Shaofu, if he wants to become a trainee knight, and then make meritorious service and then become a real knight, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the entire Holy Empire.

Everyone knew it, including Qin Shaofu himself, but he just didn't want to give up.

He was an orphan, a mixed-race orphan, and there were many Westerner features in the very obvious Oriental characteristics, such as his blue eyes.

Qin Shaofu was raised by a priest named Victor, although the pastor's character is debatable, it cannot but be said that he is extremely good to him. not only taught him to read and write, but also taught him a lot of martial arts.

Because of the continuous westward migration and settlement of the Easterners for thousands of years, resulting in the entire Holy Empire, it is common for him to be mixed.

In the eyes of the arrogant Germanic and Saxon, both the Orientals and the mixed races with Oriental blood were inferior races. Under the arrogance and paranoia of the whole society, it is difficult for people like him to get ahead.

Over time, not only Westerners despise them, but also mixed-race people themselves, most of whom are at the bottom of society.

But Qin Shaofu is different, he doesn't want to be the kind of hooligan on the streets, gangsters, and then live a barren life. He wants to be a knight and change everything in life.

It's a pity, I don't know if it's because Pastor Victor can't do it, or if he doesn't have enough qualifications, let alone defeat an examiner who is four grades higher than him, even if it's an opponent of the same grade, it's enough to choke.

Staggered down a street and stopped in front of a square.

There is a huge statue of a man on horseback and wielding a spear. The cold statue is lifelike, and at a glance, it seems that you can see the inner knightly qualities: bravery, humility and justice, and glorious sacrifice......

Looking at the statue from afar, Qin Shaofu's eyes were full of admiration.

In order to teach him to read and write, the pastor Victor began to use stories to guide Qin Shaofu to become interested in words when he was very young. The most talked about are the legends of the god of light and the stories of knights.

Among them, what fascinates Qin Shaofu the most is the story of the divine knight Mars.

The story of a commoner, who became a knight, then continued to create miracles, became one of the few strong men in the world, and finally died with the devil and was posthumously crowned the Knight of the Supreme Glory God by the Holy See.

The legends of the God of Light are myths that cannot be verified, but the story of the god knight Mars is sung all over the world, because it has only been sixty years since his death.

In addition to getting ahead, the story of the divine knight Mars is also the main reason why Qin Shaofu wants to become a knight.

"I'm going to be a knight, or a great knight like you. “

With a roar in his heart, Qin Shaofu saluted respectfully to the statue of Mars, and then left step by step.

Seongnan garrison, side courtyard.

In the garrison are the sergeants who are responsible for maintaining the security of the imperial capital, although they are not as good as the knights, but they are also considered soldiers in the establishment of the Holy Empire.

And the side yard is inhabited by handymen, who are responsible for all kinds of trivial things...... Qin Shaofu is one of them.

Even this handyman was bought for him by Priest Victor for twenty silver coins. The monthly salary is one silver coin, and you can also eat with a mouthful of food.

Standing at the door, Qin Shaofu hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and walked in.

Sure enough, someone immediately made a "surprised" voice: "Isn't this our knight? Why did you come back to this kennel again?"

"Again and again, it's not a shame. How many times have I told you, we are poor, there is no such opportunity, let's be honest and be your handyman!"

“......“

All kinds of ridicule, there are a few poor people of Western origin, and most of them are mixed races like him.

Qin Shaofu's bent desire to become a knight has never been a secret, everyone knows it. He had expected that people of his average status would support him, but instead, he received more fierce ridicule than those of the superior people.

As always, without saying half a word, he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes.

He was tired and wanted to rest.

But as soon as he closed his eyelids, he heard a few clangs, and a sergeant in armor walked in.

"You, you, you ......"

The sergeant pointed to four or five people in a row: "Bring your things and prepare to go with the army." “

Those few people immediately looked dark, it was already night at this time, and it was naturally drudgery to set off with the army at this time.

The sergeant looked around, his eyes fell on Qin Shaofu who was lying down, his brows furrowed, a look of disgust appeared on his face, he walked over in two steps, kicked on the edge of the bed, and shouted: "And you, get out of here." I heard that you are going to be embarrassed again today, so you shouldn't let this waste have time to rest. “

"Knight, knight...... If you can be a knight, Lao Tzu can be a knight. “

There was a burst of insults, and the surrounding miscellaneous servants immediately burst into laughter, which made the sergeant extremely proud.

Qin Shaofu clenched his fists, released them again, and walked outside with his head down.

One day, I'll shut these people up.

After cleaning up, the six handymen carried pots, bowls, and buckets on their backs...... All kinds of household utensils stood at the door of the garrison and waited. When a team of 100 people came out, they followed behind for a trot.

On weekdays, there are not many cases of this kind of night action, but this time it was all different, this team did not go to any place in the imperial capital, but went out of the city gate and headed all the way east.

Looking at the gloomy darkness ahead, Qin Shaofu complained bitterly, this trip, I am afraid that it will be a long-distance march.

On weekdays, he doesn't care. He has a dream of being a knight, he has trained hard since he was a child, his physical fitness is excellent, and it is not a problem to run seventy or eighty kilometers in a row in one breath, and many sergeants here are not as good as him.

But today is different, he has just experienced a fierce battle, not only is his physical strength almost exhausted, but there are also many injuries on his body. Not to mention running seventy or eighty kilometers, even if he is asked to run ten kilometers, it will be a fatal thing.

As soon as I got out of the city gate, all kinds of uncomfortable reactions appeared one after another, and what was even more troublesome was that under extreme fatigue, not only my legs were weak, but my eyes were also weak.

It weighs a thousand pounds, and it is difficult to open it even if it is slightly combined.

Going to die, going to die...... kept shouting in my heart, and I almost didn't cry anymore.

At this moment, if he really falls, it is not just as simple as being punished, and he may die directly.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a single friend here, and no one will help him at all. Those handymen even looked at him with a sneer because they knew his situation, waiting for the situation to come out.

The steps are faltering, slower and slower, heavier and heavier.

Qin Shaofu didn't want to fall, but he couldn't help him, and at the moment when he was about to completely lose his strength and faint, a sudden cold force poured into his chest like spring water, making him tremble, and he actually came to his senses.

Most of the fatigue on his body disappeared strangely, and his whole body seemed to become lighter.

Qin Shaofu lowered his head and looked at his chest, where there was an ordinary white jade pendant. He clearly felt that the cold power came from this jade pendant.

What's going on?

It was the surprise that he felt a cold force appear at the jade pendant, and after pouring into his chest, the fatigue on his body disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was refreshed.
