Andache Monastery

It was late at night, bright stars were twinkling in the sky, and William was standing on the high wall of the monastery, wearing the white clothes that his father William Sr. had prepared for him, and walking around with the holy sword in his hand.

Suddenly, the wind blew, and even the sky was affected, and the bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the surrounding environment suddenly became dark and dreary.

William pulled out the holy sword, and the holy sword flashed with bright holy light, which was especially dazzling in the dark night, illuminating the direction where William was.

The Holy Sword didn't seem to require much energy if it was just glowing, so William used it as an LED light.

The name of the holy sword is "Dawn", and since it is Dawn, how can it not shine?

William used the sword as a flashlight with ease, and walked along the road looking at the monastery that stood on the top of the hill, this military fortress-like castle was so majestic and majestic that compared to the castle in the baron's house next door, it looked like two huge beasts perched in the night.

"Why does the abbot want to see me?"

As William walked along the road, he was surprised when he heard what Father Bernard had said, and the abbot of Andache Monastery wanted to see him.

Originally, the title of the duke was actually a military chief, and the knight was the duke's armed family, when the kings in order to maintain their rule and deal with the war, they formed a master-slave relationship with their armed family, giving them food, clothing, horses, weapons and equipment, etc., but later due to excessive expenses, it was changed to give land, which was the original knight.

Therefore, a knight's initial obligation is to help his monarch fight, and the condition for becoming a knight is that he can cut people.

When the kings led their soldiers to convert to Christianity, the knights, who could only cut people, were not very popular.

The king's monarchy is divine, and the knights have also become the warriors of Christ, and they cannot become the warriors of Christ if they can only cut people, so they must be pious to God, humble, loyal, and brave, and they must also have chivalry and chivalric virtues, only in this way can they become a true knight.

This must be canonized by a knight and recognized by the Church.

In order for Knight Lane to canonize William as a knight, he must undergo a sword ordination ceremony, which is to be held in the church and completed in the presence of priests.

Before the sword ceremony, William had to fast, keep the church alone, purify his soul and body under the hymn and holy light, wait for the next day, kneel in front of the altar, and after taking the oath, he will be able to inherit the holy seal of Knight Lane.

Through the sword ceremony, William was able to obtain his holy seal and become a knight with extraordinary powers, from William's point of view, this world is really a bit incredible, and he even doubts whether this world and the original world, the physical rules follow the same.

William's stay in the abbey was originally borrowed from the church to complete the ceremony, and according to the convention, the abbey would not refuse, and the abbot wanted to summon him, and he had no way to refuse.

The bitter cold wind blew from outside, and the howling cold wind blew on the boulders of the castle, through the gaps between the stones, and whistled high and low, which sounded creepy.

Castles are not good like this, they are cold in winter and hot in summer, if they are not built on a high mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that no nobles would want to make the castle their home.

The abbot of the Antaci Monastery was a big man in the neighborhood, and although the monks of the monastery were poor, the monastery as a collective was rich.

Just looking at the castle, which resembles that of King Andag, shows how powerful the monastery was economically and politically.

In the abbot's room, as soon as he stepped inside, William saw the same glowing cross, like a giant light bulb.

It seems that even in the dark Middle Ages, for those with extraordinary powers, there can still be light at night if they want to.

A dazzling array of books are placed on the shelves, the dean's room is like a huge library, it is really a staggering number, William glanced at it, and shook his head at the placement of the books, once he was a librarian of the university, according to the rules and regulations of the library, there are obvious requirements for the placement of books, William looked at the messy bookshelves, looked at it a few more times out of occupational illness, and silently gave a bad review to the librarian of the abbey.

"William, you seem to have looked at the bookshelves here a few more times just now, are you interested in these books?"

The abbot stood under the cross of the Holy Light, looking at William's gaze at his bookshelf, his face curious.

"No, I'm just ......"

William heard the voice of the abbot, and came back to his senses to see the old man in front of him bathed in holy light, he was wearing a robe, his body was as bony as wood, and there was not much flesh on his face, but his eyes flashed with wisdom, and his smart eyes gave people a sense of oppression.

Obviously an old man who looks like he is about to be called by God at any time, but he gives people a stronger sense of oppression than Knight Lane.

"Do you like these books? Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Ovid......"

The abbot came to the bookshelf and touched the bookshelf with his fingers, reading the name of an author at each touch.

"The Book of the Ancient Greek Philosophers? It's a pity that I can't read. ”

William looked at the books that the dean touched and said, no matter what the dean wanted to say, William couldn't respond.

Because William was illiterate in this era.

Latin, not recognized.

French, I don't know.

Italian, I can't understand it, I can't read it, I can't speak it.

German, can only speak, does not know words.

To sum up, by the standards of this world, as long as William was in the Holy Roman Empire, he was an out-and-out illiterate illiterate.

Chinese, which was barely known in the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, was spoken collectively by the English king, as well as his court.

"But why do I think you are literate, it is said that you have also spoken the prayer of the Golden Seal Edict."

The abbot flipped through a book and spoke nonchalantly, but just his casual words could make William feel a heavy pressure.

An illiterate person and an educated person behave differently, and may not behave in a way that is reflected, but it can still be seen in conversation and details.

Although Knight Lane and Hans were also illiterate, it is undeniable that they were educated in the art of combat, equestrianism, fencing, fighting, as well as court etiquette, the art of war, diplomacy, and even written and customary law.

Hans said at every turn that he wanted to "take over the world", and he was obviously not an ignorant and illiterate.

"I just happened to hear about it, Dean!"

William humbly bowed his head, and refused to admit the dean's side knock.

He didn't dare to think that he had suffered a "miracle", but he didn't want to let the world think that he had been incarnated by the devil.

"William said that he wants to take over the world, so what do you want to get if you have the holy sword?"

The abbot chuckled and stared at William with a torch-like gaze.

"For beauty and riches!" William lowered his head and pretended to be shy, "Then let's go back to the village for a while." ”

Clumsy, must be hidden.

"Oh! I understand that you are seeking a noble and beautiful princess as a wife, for Liantian Qianmo's manor as a fief, for saving your fellow villagers from suffering, and for defending Christianity and human justice! ”

The abbot suddenly realized, he looked at the stunned William and said to himself, "Son, you have to believe that God is just, Jesus Christ is merciful, and your destiny is the choice of the Trinity. ”

"So go and pray! The saints and angels may be able to give you a revelation! ”

After the abbot finished speaking, William was in a daze at this time, he wanted to justify, wanted to ask the abbot not to misinterpret his words, but the abbot looked at him and said, "I'm going to rest, please go back, child, may you also have a good dream." ”

"Amen!"
