Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 58 The Knight's Oath

It wasn't until Russell pointed the wooden sword at Buna's throat that it dawned on Buner that the fierce battle was over.

The battle was won and lost, and instead of being the final winner of the battle as usual, Buna couldn't help but be a little incredulous, he became the loser who was forced to give up his weapon and surrender.

However, Buna calmly accepted the result of his defeat, threw the giant sword that had been removed from the wooden long sword to the ground, and said to Russell with a smile: "Congratulations, knight Russell, you have won!"

You must know that you are the first rookie knight to defeat me, this is your unique honor, and it is indeed the reason why I am too careless, I think Russell you have injured your wrist, and I have won the battle, and now it seems that Russell is still superior to you!"

Russell also put away the wooden sword that was lying across Buna's neck, turned around and walked a few steps to the side of the weapon rack, and put the wooden long sword back on top of the weapon rack as it was.

Seeing this, Buna exclaimed, "A good warrior must regard his weapon as a companion, because the weapon will always participate in the battle with the warrior, so the weapon can be counted as the second life of the warrior." ”

With that, Buna also picked up the two-handed greatsword thrown on the ground, walked to the weapon rack, and put the two-handed greatsword back in its place very skillfully.

Buna turned to look at Russell's wrist and asked puzzledly, "I want to know how you managed to use such a tricky sword technique when your wrist was injured?" According to my understanding, no one can forcibly use this kind of sword skill under such circumstances!"

Russell thought for a while, but still raised his arm, so that Bunner could clearly see the situation of his wrist, Buna looked at it, and was surprised to find that the injury on Russell's wrist had basically healed.

Buna scratched her hair and asked, "Russell, could it be that Sister Marlene has already taught you healing techniques before?"

"Well, yes!"

Russell didn't want to hide his mysterious healing power from Buna, but now Buner has made up a reasonable explanation in his own brain, so Russell agreed to Buna's idea.

After all, if Russell revealed his identity as a visitor from another world, the cautious church would not trust him as much as it did now, but would be on strict guard against him, and maybe even put him in prison for research.

Buna's face showed such a look of truth, and said with a smile: "Then Russell, your talent for learning divine arts is really high, if I had such a talent as you, maybe I would be promoted to become the bishop of the church now!"

Russell can only deal with the past with vague words, and now his strength is still too weak to even tell his true identity to his friends, and Russell can only tell his identity to every friend who cares about him after he has mastered great power.

Buna strode up to Russell's side, raised his arm, lowered himself to carefully observe the injury on Russell's wrist, and saw that Russell's abrasion had completely healed, and he couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity with relief.

"Russell, I'm really sorry just now, as long as I enter the battle, I have become impulsive, although you used the healing magic to heal your injuries, but I still feel deeply sorry. ”

Russell lowered his arm and smiled: "Buna, no problem, how can anyone not be injured in the competition? And our battle is already very restrained, which battle we have in the past is not more dangerous than this battle?"

Buna is not a knight who is good at words, he is already the biggest apology he can express, seeing that Russell doesn't mind this at all, Buna happily patted Russell on the shoulder, and used his actions to prove the friendship between the two.

After they were both rested, Buna told Russell about what he was going to accomplish next.

"Russell, the battle just now is just a small episode, this is just my test of your strength.

The battle just now has been seen by my subordinates, and the most admired thing by the Knights of the Cathar is superior martial arts, and I believe that after this battle, the knights will be more accepting of you, a new member.

After this, I will lead you to the final ceremony of the Knights of the Cathar, the ceremony of the knight's oath of allegiance. ”

Then, Buna led Russell and the next group of knights to the hall where the knights took the oath.

When Russell first entered the spacious hall, he was surprised to find that Bishop Vain, who he had not seen for many days, was already waiting for them in the hall.

Bishop Vane said with a smile: "I have long known that Buna has to test your ability, this is his usual style, after the rookie knights have undergone the test of Buna, these rookie knights can start to take the oath and truly become the apologists of the Goddess of Grain!"

Bishop Vane walked to the high platform in the center of the hall, removed an ancient gold scepter from which the gold leaf had peeled, and said to Russell, "Knight Russell, please come and perform the knightly oath ceremony!"

Russell walked to the bottom of the high platform, in fact, this high platform is not too high, even if the old Bishop Vane is now on the high platform, he is only a head taller than Russell, in fact, the best thing on the high platform is the statue of the goddess of grain carved on the wall in front of him!

"Knight Russell, please stand in front of me!"

As Russell stood directly in front of Bishop Vane, Bishop Vane placed the scepter on Russell's shoulder, touched Russell twice from right to left, and then withdrew the scepter into his arms.

"This golden scepter was personally given to the first pope of the Church by the Goddess of Grain, and it is the symbol of the Goddess of Victory, and all those who join the Order of the Cathar must receive the grace of the Goddess of Grain at the beginning of the oath ceremony!"

With that, Bishop Vane took a badge symbolizing the knight of the cathar from the table behind him, and put it on Russell's left chest himself, and then turned around and picked up a delicate silver ceremonial sword from the table, and Bishop Vane picked it up with both hands and walked carefully in front of Russell.

Bishop Vane exclaimed, "Knight Russell, from now on you will be a knight of the Knights of the Cathar of the Church of the Goddess of Grain, and you will be the sharpest sword of the Goddess of Grain, destroying all sinful beings.

You must abide by the rules of the Knights of the Cathar, humility, valor, and justice will accompany you for the rest of your life, and this is also a promise that you will abide by in the future, and the goddess will surely protect you in the future!

Knight Russell, please take an oath to the Goddess of Grain, your oath will be forever engraved in the halls of the Church, and it will be passed on to the heart of the Goddess forever!"

Russell took the silver sword handed over by Bishop Vane with a serious expression, and swore to the idol of the Goddess of Grain: "I will always abide by the code of the Guardian Knight, and live up to the oath of justice for the rest of my life!"

Bishop Vane nodded slightly, "Very well, Knight Russell! The Goddess of Grains has heard your oath, and from the time your oath comes out of your mouth, you are already a knight of the official Knights of the Guardian Order!"

Bishop Vane took out the last object of the ceremony, a head band woven from grain.

Russell bowed his head towards Bishop Vane and bent slightly, and Bishop Vane held the headband in both hands and placed it on Russell's head.

The moment the headband was placed on Russell's head, a bright ray of sunlight shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall, filling the slightly dimly lit hall with a soft glow.

If there is a painter here who is proficient in painting, he will be able to create a masterpiece in this instant!

This scene also surprised everyone present, the weather was not very good today, but just as Russell's oath-taking ceremony was over, a ray of sunlight happened to shine into the hall, which was tantamount to a miracle for the knights!

At this time, Bishop Vane was also amazed, he had personally performed countless oath-taking ceremonies after decades, but he had never seen such a coincidence, was this the blessing of the goddess of grain to Russell?

Russell, who was the person concerned, also sensed a subtle feeling, and when he was illuminated by the sunlight outside the window, his body began to warm up again, as if it were as gentle as the healing light of the morning light in the past.

Everyone in the hall also felt the moisture of the sun at this moment, as if they were back in their mother's arms, and everyone was immersed in this emotion.

Bishop Vane, who was closest to Russell, didn't even notice that the gray ends of his head had turned back to blonde and his face had rejuvenated.

Could it be that the miracle of the goddess of grain has reappeared? All those present had this thought and waited for the goddess to continue the miracle.

However, it is disappointing that no follow-up miracles have appeared in this hall, and even the light that has illuminated the entire hall just now is slowly disappearing.

The Hall of Oaths was restored to its original state, but the vast majority of the people here were still immersed in the afterglow of this once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

In addition to Russell, the first to come to his senses was the calm Bishop Vane, who looked at Russell meaningfully, the goddess of grain had not performed such a miracle for nearly a hundred years, but this young man had been favored by the goddess to such a degree, and the young man who escorted Betty all the way did not seem to be an ordinary person!

Bishop Vane still forced his curiosity to be suppressed.

Since the goddess was able to bring grace to this young man, it meant that he was not a vicious thug, and he had no ill will towards the church.

As for Russell's mysterious origins, we can also investigate them again in the future, and now is the time to celebrate the miracle of the goddess!

Bishop Vane cleared his throat and said to those who had just come to their senses: "Brave knights, the grace of the goddess at the end of the ceremony is a matter of glorification for the whole Church!

This also means that the Goddess of Grain is still watching over the people of the Church, so be proud of herself, and the love of the Goddess will always be on our side!"

The knights in the field immediately became excited when they heard this, this is indeed the supreme honor.

Such stories can only occur in the records of the Church a hundred years ago, or can only be heard in the stories of bards.

But now, this situation has appeared to them, and they can't help but be ecstatic, and even faint.

Of the dozens, only Russell and Buna, who was very close to him, Bishop Vane knew the truth of this miracle, which is a reasonable explanation, and it is better for a group of people to be blessed with a miracle by the goddess of grain than for one person to be blessed by the goddess of grain and give a miracle.

Russell looked at Bishop Vane with some gratitude, he had actually gotten himself out of a big trouble.

You must know how troublesome it is to have a knight who has been miraculously performed by the goddess in a country that believes in the goddess of grain.

Countless people who wanted to visit Russell aside, but when the forces hostile to the Church heard of Russell's deeds, they would certainly try to get rid of this man who had greatly strengthened the influence of the Church.

Bishop Vane looked at Russell with a smile and said, "Knight Russell, please remember that although the oath is very important, protecting yourself is the most important thing!"
