Chapter 25: I'll Teach You to Slay Dragons with a Slide and Shovel

William leaned against the wall hungrily with the holy sword in his arms, his body shivering, his stomach thirsty and hungry.

This is the chapel used by the friars to pray, and it is also the place where William will hold the "sword ceremony" tomorrow, and according to tradition, young people who are about to be canonized knights fast on the eve of knighthood, and they will keep the church alone.

I don't know if it was because he used the holy sword to illuminate himself, which consumed his physical strength and the energy in his body, causing William to be hungry and thirsty now, hungry and cold, and the wind at night was blowing howling, which was simply a crime.

"Sleep, sleep so that you will not be cold, sleep without hunger, and sleep without thirst."

With tears in his eyes, William leaned against the wall and prepared to sleep.

The knight's knighthood ceremony was simply a toss-up, and if it weren't for tradition, William really felt that Knight Lane might be taking revenge on himself.

Perhaps it is only through complex rituals that a sense of the sacred can be established. Just like a girl who went to Tibet through a poor trip, she slept in a car with different boys, and when she arrived in Tibet, she felt that her spirit was baptized and her soul was sublimated.

William sighed, although he didn't want to accept it, but the tradition was like this, and he could only follow it.

It is simply impossible to find people in the monastery to ask for food, Andache Monastery is a real monastery, although it is written in the textbooks that the life of the church and monasteries in the Middle Ages is rotten, the high priests have a large number of lovers and illegitimate children, the life is rotten and degenerate, the people are scraped and the people's anointment, and they sell "indulgences" in the name of God, but William did not see that the monks of the monastery are truly depraved.

It is not known if the Andache Monastery is a special case or if this is the reason for the fairytale world.

Therefore, it was impossible for William to get food from the monks, and the church would not allow the knights to violate the rules of chivalry by instilling their own ideas and teachings into the knights.

William was now a knight preparing to be conferred, and if he accepted a piece of bread from the monks and was judged unqualified by the monastery, he would really cry to death.

William slowly drifted off to sleep when he suddenly seemed to hear someone calling his name.

"William Reslyn von Jacob, wake up, wake up!"

"Who, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you don't let others sleep."

William said angrily, he had just been woken up from a sweet sleep, and anyone was going to lose his temper.

He opened his eyes and struggled to get to his feet, feeling that every step he took was extraordinarily heavy, and his throat was so dry that every exhalation could erupt a fire from his lungs.

"William Reslin von Jacob."

The voice sounded like a ghost, and William looked around, suddenly feeling a chill in his back, and he didn't see the other party at all.

Hell again.

"The other party" is William's full name, William is his name, and it is also the name of his father, William Sr.

The East pays attention to the Venerable, and fathers and sons generally do not have the same name, and even the names used by the ancestors will not be used by the younger generations, because in the secular concept, this is a disrespect for the ancestors.

The name used by the monarch is not used by ordinary people, and it is necessary to avoid it, not only the contemporary people should avoid it, but even the previous people should also avoid it, Guanyin Bodhisattva met Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and only called Guanyin in the future.

In the West, it is not the case, and it is likely that the son will continue to use the name used by the father, which is not only not disrespectful, but rather affirms the merits of the ancestors.

If it is the name of a saint and a great monarch, then Peter, John, Alexander, Charles (Charlemagne) are all over the place.

If it is the name of the elder of your family, then you should not only use it yourself, but also use it for your pet dog and pet cat, only in this way can you show respect and love for your family.

"Who's calling my name!"

William is his first name, Reslyn is his Christian name, Von symbolizes coming from somewhere in German, and Jacob is William's surname and his hometown.

Everyone called him William or William the Younger, and even outsiders called him by his surname Jacob, and whoever would have eaten enough would call him by his full name.

"It's me."

William saw the glowing Dawn of the Holy Sword in his hand and muttered, "My God, the sword is fine. ”

"I'm Francis von Hamburg." The holy sword shone again, flickering like a neon sign, glowing with all kinds of light.

"Brave?"

William said in surprise, thinking of the surname hamburger, he suddenly thundered, why is it so like a dish.

"It's me, Francis from Hamburg."

The holy sword shone again, accompanied by the voice of the brave, and constantly adjusted its brightness and flickering, which seemed to reflect his mood.

"Aren't you dead?"

William asked, in fact he was asking a nonsense, the brave man was already dead, and the question was what the voice in the holy sword was.

"The plan to slay the dragon is flawless, but I didn't expect the evil dragon to be so powerful, I misjudged the strength of the other party and overturned."

The brave man seemed embarrassed, and even the brilliance with the holy sword dimmed.

William looked at the black line on the head of the holy sword, he stared at the holy sword for a moment, paused, and then said, "I think there is something unclean about this sword, I still ask Father Bernard to purify the holy sword and exorcise demons, right?" ”

"Don't, my dear brother William!"

The brilliance of the holy sword flickered even more violently, if it was in his lifetime, let alone the little William, even the Baron Andag would have to look up to him, and the kings of the kingdom of the Count of Thorne would have asked for him.

It's just that now that the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, as an undead, he can purify any priest who can purify him by drinking holy water and spraying it on the holy sword.

The brave who is alive is naturally a brave man, and the brave man who slays the dragon and dies is a hero, but the brave man who becomes an undead and still bounces in the world after death is naturally evil and belongs to the object to be destroyed.

Of course, if the dragon slaying is successful, even if he dies, after a hundred years have passed, the church will not mind canonizing him, and even if he dies, he can enter the church's blessing list and become a regional saint.

Such spirits are officially whitewashed and become the Holy Spirit, like St. George, St. Francis, to be worshiped by the congregation.

The saint is the intermediary between God and the believer, and if the believer has any desire to pray to God, he can add the name of the saint to the prayer and let the saint turn it to God.

The Holy Spirit is naturally divine, and he, the undead, is naturally evil, and no matter how full his ideals are, his reality is also very skinny.

The brave Francis did not succeed in slaying the dragon at all, and now let alone accept worship, he will be purified.

"Father Bernard, I think this holy sword of mine needs to be purified......"

William called out to Father Bernard, and a cry came from the holy sword, "Don't, don't do this, my dear brother William, without me, how can you be qualified to master the holy sword, there are thousands of holy swords, why do you think this sword in your hand can slay dragons, it's all because of me, because of me!" ”

"I saved your life!" Francis exclaimed, hearing William call out the priest's name, flickering like a camera flash that was constantly taking pictures.

"I'm at odds with evil, shut up, you undead spirit, don't talk about it anymore!" William said solemnly.

"I've got money!" The brave man said loudly.

"Shall I bend my waist for money?" William sneered.

"That's enough for you to buy a country." The brave man said again.

"Am I in it for the money? I am seeking a noble and beautiful princess as a wife, for Liantian Qianmo's manor as a fiefdom, for saving my fellow villagers from suffering, and for defending Christianity and justice in the world! ”

William looked at the Holy Sword and said, "God's favor allows me to accomplish the above great deeds." I believe that God is just, that Jesus Christ is merciful, and that my destiny is a Trinitarian choice. ”

The brilliance of the holy sword flickered for a while after the dimming, and finally said weakly, "Don't memorize the lines, can I surrender?" I agreed to all your requests, and I will help you with whatever you want. ”

"Isn't it the princess, the kingdom, the wealth, the people, and the fame? It's all there, if you slaughter the dragon, you will have it, and I can teach you how to slay the dragon. ”
