Chapter 043: (Canonized Knight)

Castle Hall.

The two jailers stood in front of Count Rezison, who was furious, and they were so frightened that their hearts were like fifteen buckets.

Count Rezison did not speak, but glared at them with a stern look in his eyes that seemed to shoot sparks! The jailer bowed his head in shame, not daring to look at him.

When Hekarim heard the news, he hurried over from the blacksmith's shop. When he stepped into the hall, the first thing he said was, "My lord, I told you that he was a son of the forest, and you shouldn't put him in a dungeon!"

"What's the use of saying this now, he's already fled. ”

"My lord, wasn't he locked up in a dungeon by you, and how did he escape?"

"It was Lenid who rescued him from the dungeon," Count Rezison told him. The guards at the gates watched him descend the mountain with a young man in a Rhodok uniform. ”

Hekarim asked, "Isn't he your soldier, why did he help a Swadian escape?"

"How do I know what he is doing this for!" roared Count Rezison, his usual gentle tone gone. "Damn it, Lenid, he betrayed me!"

"My lord, there is only one possibility," Hecarim replied in a low voice with a resolute tone. "That is, your soldiers are Swadiaans. ”

"Lenid has been with me for fifteen years, and he has been at my castle for me since I was a teenager!" Count Ryzison could not believe that Ranid was a Swadian, that he had a Rhodok look, and that he spoke the Rhodok dialect fluently.

"That still doesn't change the possibility that he's a Swadia!" Hekarim pointed pointedly. "Why else would he risk saving a Swadia?"

When Count Reisson realized this, his chest rose and fell as if he had been struck by something. He even began to suspect that there were other Swadians lurking in his castle. That's what worries him the most.

"It is now imperative to step up the manufacture of arrows and crossbows," said Count Rizisen, regaining his composure. And he began to examine all the people in the castle to make sure that there were no Swadians among them. ”

"My lord, my craftsmen and I are making more arrows and crossbows," Hekarim said confidently. "I believe that our Rhodok archers will use them to make the Swadian invaders suffer. ”

Count Ritson picked up a book on his desk and handed it to the other man. "It's the book you showed him," he told him. "He didn't believe he was a child of the forest at all, or he wouldn't have chosen to run away, and my locking him in a dungeon was just a test. ”

Hecarim didn't speak, but reached out and took the heavy book from the count's hand. It doesn't make sense to say anything now, the important thing is that he's gone!

"Forget him!" said the Earl of the Queen. "He's always been a Swadia, a Harangos, and he can't be the guardian of the Rhodocs!"

"He will!" Hecarim said, turning to leave the hall.

As Edward and Lenid fled down the mountain, the sun was shining brightly.

The village below the hill has already been requisitioned by the Svadian army. The elderly and frail villagers of Rhodoc and children under the age of ten were forcibly expelled by order of the lord, while the young men and women were left behind to work as coolies and soldiers/prostitutes.

The village was full of soldiers and horses, and men, who were busy in groups of soldiers, horses, and men, some sharpening their swords, some patrolling around, some setting up tents, and some making fires for cooking......

A group of soldiers were cutting down trees in the woods outside the village, and the engineers were making siege equipment near the woods. In addition to simple ladders, the most commonly used siege equipment includes giant trebuchets, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles, and large shields.

"Your Excellency," Lanned shouted from the sidelines. "My lord, we're safe!"

From a distance, Edward could see the banners of the Swadian lords and knights everywhere in the village, among which the flags were the double shield and double axe cross flag of the Swedish family, and then the green arrow and red bull flag of the Berlands family, the tree cat flag, the strawberry flag, the thorn flower flag, and so on.

Worst of all, Edward also discovered the wild boar flag of the Maggs family and the crossed halberd flag of the Prais family. How could they be here?, Edward guessed. Could it be that King Harlaus ordered them to lead their army to participate in the attack on [Marasburg]?

He knew very well that Baron Ralph Maggs and Baron Griffin Prais were all the same thing with Rutgers. A group of noble lords with honorable titles, but behind the scenes, they are doing some despicable and shameless deeds.

Perhaps Rutgers's murder on himself was premeditated by them together. If they had known that I was alive, they would have tried to get rid of me for Rutgers. It is necessary to meet the Count of Swedish or the Earl of Berlands before they can be discovered.

Edward thought to himself: The news of his death must have reached the ears of King Harlaus and all the lords and officers of the Southern Expedition?

Will my uncle be sad when he learns the news? Iris will, this little guy will be sad for himself for a while.

"Your Excellency, Knight!"

Edward came back to his senses and whispered in a sincere tone, "Lenid, thank you for saving me from the dungeon!"

"What were you thinking?" Ranid asked.

"Nothing. Edward replied lightly, but had no time to hide the worried look on his face.

"Your Excellency, you should be happy. Ranid said as he looked at the other party with a sad face. "Ahead is our Swadian camp, there must be people there who recognize you, and you can change back to your old identity when the time comes. ”

To be able to escape from the dungeons of the castle should indeed be happy. But the wild boar flags and crossed halberd flags that roamed the village worried him. He wanted to tell the other party: yes, there are people who know me in the barracks in front of him, but there are also people who want my life.

He didn't have to know this, it would only make him regret risking escaping from the dungeon with me. Edward even began to suspect that he had made a bad decision to leave the castle on top of the hill. At least stay in that dungeon, it's safe for now. Edward thought to himself: it's time for him to give something back. He asked, "What do you want in return, how many dinars?"

"My lord, I didn't save you for gold. ”

Edward smiled bitterly and replied, "But I can't give you anything but gold." ”

"If you wish, you will be able to give me something like this!"

"What do you want?" Edward couldn't think of what the other man wanted, I had nothing but gold, and those dinars were his salary that he had saved up over the years.

Lenid straightened up and said with some excitement, "I hope to be ...... Canonized as a knight!"

"Don't bother, sir," Lenid said self-deprecatingly. "The lords may not look down on me at all!"

Edward hesitated and said, "You want me to canonize you as a knight?"

"Yes, Knight!" said Lenid, firmly.

According to Article 127 of the laws of the Kingdom of Svadia, kings and noble lords can be knighted, and knights have the right to be knights. However, knights cannot give knights the corresponding fiefs and rewards like kings and noble lords.

Knighthoods are not uncommon in the continent of Calradia. Some of the lowly squires were knighted by knights, and only a few noble nobles were eligible for the canonization of lieges. There were also self-proclaimed knights, who were called freelancers.

Edward's words did not surprise Edward. Almost every Swadia man has his own knightly dream in his heart. He thought to himself. Except maybe Iris. "I will introduce you to a lord and ask him to canonize you as a knight. ”

"But I don't have any land to reward you with other than being a knight. ”

"I just need to prepare a set of knight equipment and a war horse for me!"

In the kingdom of Swadia, a set of knightly equipment and a war horse would require at least 500 gold coins to purchase a complete set of knightly equipment and a war horse converted into dinars. It was a lot of money for Edward, but he was able to find a way to raise the gold.

Edward promised, "In return, I promise you!"

"My lord," said Lenid, cheerfully. "The camp is ahead, and I hope you can canonize me as a knight in front of everyone!"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. Edward proposed. "If you can accept it, I'll canonize you as a knight here!"

Instead of going to the camp of the Swadian army in front of him, Edward decided to go straight to [Estinina], he wanted to catch Rutgers off guard by his appearance, and to expose his crimes in front of all the knights of the Third Banner Battalion.

"For what?" said Lenid's face turned a little disappointed and confused. "If no one witnesses this, who can believe I'm a knight but you?"

"Ranned, I'm going to Estine, to find my companions. Edward invited him. "If you are willing to join me, I will welcome you as a member of the Third Banner Battalion of the Knights of Sanctions!"

"My lord, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, I promise you!"

"Then I do!"

Edward's tone suddenly became solemn. "Will you swear before the gods and the world that you will defend the weak, protect women and children, obey your superiors, your lords and kings, and fight valiantly and heroically and faithfully, no matter how difficult, humble, or dangerous your future may be?"

"I do, sir. Lenid nodded firmly.

Edward announced. "Get down on your knees and take your vows!"

Ranid fell to one knee and swore to the knight in front of him: "I swear only in the name of God that in my knighthood I will be merciful, merciful and kind to the weak, and will never threaten the unarmed people, good women and children are my protectors, and I will do everything in my power to those who are in distress, and in battle I will bravely resist violence, fight against all wrongs, be sincere to my friends, help my brother knights, defend what I love, unto death, humble, upright, sacrificed, Justice, honor, valor, and mercy will be our eternal spirit!"

Edward gently placed the dagger on Ranid's shoulder: "In the name of a warrior, I give you courage," and the sword then turned to the left, "In the name of the Father, I give you justice;" and then to the right, "In the name of the Virgin, I command you to hoe the strong and help the weak, in the name of the virgin, I command you to protect women and children, and I officially canonize you as a knight." ”
