I don't remember what I saw or learned in the basement that day, because the memories of the year since then have been gone from my mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoThe next thing I remember is leaving the place I used to call home with Jack a year later. I broke off my relationship with my father and grandfather, I discarded the robe engraved with the Cross family crest, abandoned the identity of the eldest grandson of the Cross family, abandoned the mission of the Cross family that I should undertake, put on the cloth clothes of ordinary people, and blended into the crowd, I was finally free. Jack had chosen to join me in his rebellion, so he also lost the memory of the year I had joined the church, and I was sure that something must have happened in that year that would make me disappointed in the church and my family, and whenever I think of that blank year, a sense of fear will come over me. I knew that my memories and those of Jack were erased by the church. When we left the Cross family, they announced the death of both of us, and there was a big funeral, and when I had the opportunity to pass by the Kross family's cemetery, I could only laugh at my own grave. It is true that the former York Cross is buried here, and I am just York, a man without a surname.

"We're all homeless, we're dragging you into the water, sorry. "I said to Jack when I left the Cross house.

But Jack replied, "The castle of the Cross family is not my home, and the place with you is home." ”

After leaving the Cross family, Jack and I wandered around Vasilian for two years, and during these two years we were just two orphans who depended on each other, and no one knew who we used to be, even if anyone had seen us when we were children in the clothes of the Cross family, and saw our tattered clothes now, no one would have thought that these two boys would be the children of the Cross family. We were out running errands, tending to the farms, carrying goods, taking care of the business, and those two years were far happier than the first sixteen years I spent at Cross's house.

When I was eighteen years old, I heard that the Knights of Light were recruiting new recruits. I know that the Order is now under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light, but there was no Church of Light when the Order was born nearly 800 years ago. The Knights are just forced to obey the Church, and none of the knights in the Order are Churchgoers, and they don't want Churchgoers. I've heard that most of the Knights have complained about the Church of Light, and I didn't know that until I joined. Although I don't want to go back to the Church, I have a longing for the Knights, because I believe that the Order is a truly people-oriented organization. I remembered the uncle's words again: "Just choose the path you want to take." "So I decided, I wanted to join the Knights.

That year, I succeeded in joining the Order with my previous experience in the church and my own efforts, while Jack was not selected because he was not old enough. When I entered the Order, I met Danco Wells, the deputy head of the Knights, who was known at the time and worshipped as a god, and it is said that he was promoted to deputy commander because he had solved the "Demon Massacre" in Lori City, and since Jack and I were working as handymen in the port north at the time of this incident, and were not in Lori, we didn't know what was going on. When I stood at the top of the castle and looked at his face on the platform, his calm and stormy appearance reminded me of the mage I had seen four years ago, when he stood in front of the gate of Cross's house with the same demeanor as the deputy head of the regiment at this time. I wondered what had happened to him, and I learned from some of the Knights' elders that he had just lost his wife.

After joining the Knights, I rarely saw Jack, because the Knights all train and live together, so Jack embarked on a wandering road by himself. I once persuaded him to stay, and I said that I would find him a place to settle down, or go and plead with the regiment commander to let him relax the age requirement, after all, Jack is much better than me, and the regiment commander will definitely want him as a talent. But Jack refused, saying that joining the Order was just a path I had chosen, not the path he wanted.

Due to the advantages of church education and my own continuous efforts, I thought that I must be the fastest learner, but the deputy head Dan Ke is much better than me, and he is always in front of me, like an unbridgeable chasm. So I made up my mind that I must surpass him. A year after joining the Order, news of the death of the archbishop came from the kingdom. The Archbishop is the leader of the Kingdom Church, the best at spelling in the country—this is what I learned from my previous time at the Cross house, and since the Kingdom Church has always been an enemy of our family, and since I have never been to Shining Star Castle before, I have never met the Archbishop. It is said that the archbishop died in an accident while going to the allied country Miller to assist in research, and there was not much discussion about his death, and there was no funeral, but he still lived his life as before, because people did not have a good opinion of spells, so they were not interested in people who used them.

Another year passed, I was twenty years old, and Jack turned eighteen. One time I was sent north by the Knights on a mission to the town where Jack was, and I asked him if he wanted to join the Order with me now, and I could recommend it to him, and he replied the same as he did two years ago, saying that he was good to be a guard here now, and that he could protect the peace of the townspeople. When I said goodbye to him and was about to return, he asked me in all seriousness, "Are you sure this is the way you're going?"

"As a member of the Order, I am committed to protecting the people, and that is my mission. I replied.

Three years after I joined the Order, Danko became the Captain. I had made Danko my target early on, but he was throwing me farther and farther away. I was a gifted man in the Order, and none of my comrades in the Order knew who I was, and I knew very little about their stories. Everyone came here from all over the world to join the organization of their dreams, all for their own ideals. But this organization has always had to do things that deviate from its purpose.

Four years after joining the Order, the new Archbishop of the Kingdom began to negotiate with us many times to try to popularize the knowledge and teaching of magic among the Order, and he made many negotiations with the Church of Light, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of magic to the power of the nation. The Church of Light has been openly opposed to spells, but I know that behind the scenes they study spells no less than the archbishop does. To my surprise, the archbishop's repeated insistence that the church hierarchy accede to his request, and I began to wonder what my father and grandfather were up to. When I first met the archbishop, I saw on his face the shadow of the mage I had met twice, I didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was, and I didn't usually have much contact with the archbishop, so this question had to be closed.

Five years after joining the Order, I became a key member of the Order, and I was able to access some tasks that the low-level knights could not reach, that is, the secret missions issued by the Church of Light and the King I betrayed, most of the tasks were some shady things such as infiltration, planting, obtaining information, and assassination, which is why only the core members of the Knights could do such tasks. Among my comrades-in-arms, who are also core members, I found a guy with a strong sense of morality and an extremely clear position, and his name is Roy. Although he became a core member, he was always the first to refuse that kind of dirty business, and he shook his head in disbelief when he first learned the truth, saying that he did not believe that the holy and powerful Order would do such a thing behind his back, and that these tasks were not the reason why he joined the Order in the first place. Although I began to receive assignments from the Church, I did not have the opportunity to meet with the higher-ups of the Church, because the only person I could talk to was the head of the Knights, so I still do not have to return to the Church of Light that I have betrayed to meet the Cross family, whom I no longer call my relatives.

It was also in this year that we got information about the legendary dragon. Under the leadership of the regimental leader, Danko, we stole twelve dragon eggs from the place we later called Longlin Island, saying that we had stolen them because we did not have the courage or ability to compete with the sleeping dragon. When I saw the dragon, which was three times larger than the dragon skull in the main hall of the Shining Star Castle, I could only be frightened and unable to move, and I couldn't help but feel a heartfelt admiration and admiration for the legendary dragon slayer who slaughtered all kinds of dragons. After escaping from Dragon's Landing Island in disarray, the dragon egg hatched, and each of the core knights of our knights received a small dragon. As a result, the dragon control technique that we have inherited for hundreds of years finally has a chance to practice. It is said that it is a dragon mastery, but in fact, it is basically nothing more than appeasing the dragon through secret arts, then talking to it through the dragon language, and then establishing a blood contract between each other, so that the dragon can be controlled.

Eight years after joining the Order, I finally became the Deputy Master, and the name of York, the Deputy Head of the Knights of Light, was known, but no one associated him with York Cross, the Cros family whose name they couldn't even remember, who died ten years ago. The newcomers to the Order were always speculating about my origins and stories, and they tried to learn the truth from the old-timers of the Order, but to no avail, because even the old-timers did not know where I came from, and they only learned that I was a boy who had come to Lori from the northern port and was chosen into the Order. I know I can't tell my comrades who I am, because I know how much most of them hate the Church, and I have managed to get to where I am today, and I don't want them to think that I have climbed up all the way up through the Church, and that if they know who I am, I won't be able to gain a foothold in the Order. At this time, I was a little envious of Jack, who was not affected by his identity at all, and was at ease in a corner of the kingdom.
