Chapter 3 Training (1)
"Squeak!"
The three-zhang wide iron gate was slowly opened, and the carriage slowly drove in, passing through the main road, past the training grounds, vineyards, and a grove before coming to the building where he lived.
The building is only three storeys high, but it occupies a lot of land, about the size of a football field. The theme of the wall is dark gray, the stone statue of a griffin is carved in the corner of the eaves, and the outer pillars also have flower carvings of fierce beasts, which seems a little oppressive, which is related to the fact that the construction has not yet separated from the hierarchical feudal society, and several renovations have only involved the interior, and have not erased the architectural style that represents the symbol of aristocratic authority on the outside.
Ten young maids in the two rows in front of the door are already waiting, they have been adopted by the Del family since they were young**, only qualified ones have the opportunity to serve the master's family, more than ten years of ideological indoctrination, so that they think that it is their greatest honor to be able to serve the Del family.
The carriage stopped, Renault opened the door, Steward Wall got up first, although he looked old, but in fact there was unfathomable strength in his body, although the action of getting off the car was slow, but he could feel the strength between his hands and feet, steady and steady.
When the old butler stepped aside, Charon and Illya got out of the car one after another.
"Young Master, Miss, welcome back. The maid bent down and bowed, and her crisp voice was very pleasant, which made people's hearts feel comfortable and relaxed.
Charon and Illya, accustomed to this, nodded calmly, and entered the room surrounded by servants.
There were actually quite a few people in the manor, there were forty or fifty servants alone, and there were even more guards, a full hundred, all of whom were good at the level of knights and squires, and wore the latest firearms, which was simply a small army.
The Del family is scarce, and the protection of the heir is usually very important, just sending Charon Illya to the school is guarded by two big knights, and this kind of treatment is not necessarily enjoyed by some big nobles.
The guards formed a tight network of patrols around the perimeter of the manor, but they were not qualified to go into the house where the master's family lived, but the protection of the old butlers, Wall and Renault, and two official knights, was sufficient.
Charon said hello to Wall, the butler, and went back to his room to rest, and dinner would not begin until a while, so he would not waste time in the hall watching the shabby and silent black and white television.
Charon was a man who liked simplicity, and the furnishings in his room were not resplendent in splendor, except for a large bed, wardrobe, bookcase, desk, and a sofa, which looked empty and not very coordinated. There was also a large chest in the corner, which contained a sword of different types, and collecting swords was one of his few hobbies.
He took out the exercise book in his school bag, opened the pen cover and wrote, "Solve today's homework first, and then have more time to exercise tonight." ”
"I really want to become an official knight a day earlier, the title of squire is too ugly. ”
Strictly speaking, knights at the squire level are not real knights, and thousands of years ago, it has been stipulated that only knights and above can be called official knights, because when they step into the knight level, the life level is already different, and they begin to be different from mortals.
The squire level is just developing the normal potential, and the peak squire level has actually reached the limit of human beings, and only by transforming the life level can it be one step closer. Knights, in this world can stretch for tens of thousands of years, that's not for fun.
The recorded history of this world is tens of thousands of years, and the development of such a slow has just entered the era of science and technology, which has a lot to do with extraordinary power, strong represents ambition, ambition represents war, and culture and technology have been destroyed again and again. If it weren't for the fact that it is now extraordinary, it is estimated that it would still be conquered by various countries, and it would be impossible for civilization to develop under the destruction of civilization again and again.
"Now I know that the knight level is the squire level, the knight level, and the big knight level, each level is divided into four levels, low-level, middle-level, high-level, and peak, but I heard that there are levels above the big knight, and the big knight level can be said to be superhuman, and if you go up, you are really not human. ”
"I'm at the high-level squire level now, and I still have to reach the peak squire level before I can march to the little superman knight level. ”
Charon yearns for the knight level, not only to improve the level of life, but also to combat power - the most direct factor to experience strength.
The division of levels is rigorous, cross-tier battles are as difficult as the sky, and there are only a handful of people in history who have fought across major tiers and won.
Those who win across major levels often get artifacts or other auxiliary items, and after the battle, these victors are also drained of their vitality, and the artifact is not something that a mere mortal can touch, if you want to move, then pay the price!
Therefore, those victors are not considered winners, and their cross-level victories are just "everyone dies together, and I am not a loser".
Therefore, Charon did not have the idea of killing people by leapfrogging his rank as drinking water, and he did not whimsically think that rank was a joke, which was the result of countless years of referring to countless death battles.
If you don't try your best to challenge, sometimes it's not courage, then it's arrogant. When he was training with the knight-level guards at home, it was useless for others to do anything, and he couldn't hurt it, and at that time he understood that the level represented an unattainable distance.
Shortly after Charon finished his homework, a maid knocked on the door and told him to go to dinner.
The table about eight meters long was only sitting opposite him and Illya, looking at the sumptuous food placed in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction, fortunately living in this kind of family, otherwise one meal would not be enough for training consumption, and it would not be far on the road of knighthood.
Poor and rich martial arts also occupy a large market in this world, and if civilians want to take the road of knighthood, the difficulty will increase exponentially. Of course, there are people who succeed, but such a high elimination rate is not a success for the entire class.
The Del family does not have the habit of praying, and the Tors Federation is not the sphere of influence of the Church of Light, so there are not many people who believe in the Lord, especially the nobles, who believe in their own power more.
After dinner, Charon wiped his mouth with a white napkin and left the table, and he had to go to Renault to discuss the evening training.
Finding Renault in the dormitory where the guards lived, Charon said sincerely, "Mr. Reynold, let's start training in an hour." ”
Renault nodded in response, looking at the figure of Charon leaving, and wondered why this young master, who didn't talk much, suddenly became a knight half a year ago, but under hard training, the progress is indeed very fast, maybe he can become an official knight before the age of twenty, and he can be regarded as a genius in the Federation.
