As a knight profession, if you want to be promoted to a high-level knight, in addition to the necessary strength, it is more about the test of morality.

In addition to the Knight Squire of Levels 1 to 3 as a reserve, the Knight classes of Levels 4 to 6 are: Knight of Humble, Knight of Loyalty, and Knight of Faith. That is, commonly known as junior knights, and they are the main components of the army knights.

Knights of Rank 7 to 9 are: Lords of Sacrifice, Lords of Valor, and Lords of Glory. That is, what we usually call knight lords, who are mostly middle and high-ranking cadres in the knight order and enjoy fiefs.

They not only lead the way in battle, but are also responsible for teaching the new generation of knights in their daily training and life, and they pass on the spirit of chivalry from generation to generation through their words and deeds. The knight lord can be said to be the backbone of the knights and the model of the low-ranking knights.

The knightly classes at levels 10 and 12 are: Knight of Justice, Knight of Truth, and Knight of Judgment. The knights of this stage are called the Knights of Judgment and are at the top of the pyramid in the Order.

The Knight of Judgment is considered to be the spokesperson of the "god of justice" Verseti and a symbol of truth and justice.

- "Detailed Explanation of the War Professions on the Navia Continent: Knight Chapter"

After lunch, Kaye instructed his attendants to prepare a carriage and head to the "Aflica" forest outside the city.

The "Afflica" Forest is the famous "Warcraft Paradise" on the continent of Navia, and it is only a short walk from Lionheart, when King Darren decided to establish the capital next to Afflica, which has created the wonder of the Warcraft Forest and the human capital falling side by side. Since the Abyssal Age, Afflica has been the habitat of the Winged Lion Clan.

Since the "Covenant of Bloodline" signed between Nicholas and King Darren in the "Eternal Night", Nicholas began to gather together the monsters on the Plains of Ryan who were willing to live in peace with humans, allowing them to enter Aflica, and distributing different spheres of influence according to the strength of the beasts.

And for those demonic beasts who did not want to live with humans, Nicholas expelled them from the Plains of Ryan and rushed to the east of the continent of Navia with his strong strength.

According to Nicholas's division, most of the weak Warcraft are distributed on the periphery of Afflica, which is also the closest location to human society, and the deeper the Warcraft in Afflica, the stronger the strength.

In this way, most of the weak monsters on the periphery have a mild temperament, and even if they occasionally run to nearby villages to steal crops or attack humans, they can rely on the strength of the local garrison to solve it on their own.

And because the high-level demonic beasts in the inner circle are far away from human society and are constrained by the winged lion clan, they will not act recklessly.

At the same time, from a military point of view, Aflica formed a natural protective forest against Lionheart, basically cutting off any possibility of attacking Lionheart from this direction.

Even the most arrogant madman would not think that he could lead his army through such a forest with tens of thousands of magical beasts safely.

The more high-level Warcraft has a stronger concept of territory, even if it is a Warcraft that is willing to get along with humans, it only means that it will not take the initiative to attack humans, once an outsider invades its territory, Warcraft will not show mercy at all.

Shortly after the carriage entered Aflica, Kaye jumped out of the carriage.

"Alright, Gad, just come with me here, and then I'd like to walk alone for a while. ”

"Your Highness, as your chief of guard, my duty is to be responsible for your safety at all times, after all, this is Afflica, and I better follow Your Highness. ”

As he spoke, a red-haired middle-aged knight slowly walked out of the carriage. He was seen carrying a shield in the shape of a lion with the emblem of a winged lion, and a knight's spear hanging on the left and right sides of the saddle. Shoulder-length red hair floated casually behind her head, like a slowly burning flame.

Hearing the answer of the level 9 Glory Lord, Kaye couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand.

"Oh, dear Mr. Gade, this is indeed Afflica, but this area beneath our feet is the range of movement of Kaori*! Do you think I'm going to die at the mouth of a 'pet pig'!! Kaori?"

Gade looked at the blonde boy in front of him who was a little annoyed and angry, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Okay, Your Highness." Of course, I know that with the strength of your loyal knights, you will not take these 'pet pigs' seriously. But please promise me not to go too far into the forest. ”

"Don't worry, Gad, I just want to walk around here, I'll be back before dinner, I swear!"

After seeing Gad leave with the coachman, Kaye walked out into the shade of a tree, put one arm behind his head, lay flat on the grass, and began to recall the wonderful scene of the previous night. In fact, Kaye was already in bed early last night, preparing to rest early for the next day's lessons.

However, just as he was in a daze, and his eyelids were about to droop, he faintly saw some golden points of light floating in the air. At first, Kaye thought it was a hallucination that he was about to fall asleep, but when he squeezed his eyes down and opened them again, he was stunned by what he saw.

Dozens of golden dots of light the size of little thumbs lingered around him.

Sometimes they were like kind parents, floating quietly beside Kaye, as if they were silently watching him with gentle eyes, sometimes like children who were afraid of birth, approaching him slowly with shyness, but running away quickly when they were about to touch him, and sometimes like lively elves, flying happily around him.

More and more golden points of light appeared out of thin air from all corners of the room, and slowly fluttered in the direction of Kaye, and it didn't take long for Kaye's room to look like a night sky full of golden stars.

However, when Kaye reached out and tried to touch the points of light around him, in an instant, all the golden points of light disappeared. Kaye froze, pinching himself to make sure it wasn't a dream.

He tried to lie in bed again as he had done before, even squinting his eyes and pretending to be asleep, to see if those golden points of light would still appear.

But after waiting for a long time, those golden points of light seemed to have never existed, and there was no movement. Almost the entire night, Kaye didn't fall asleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of the golden starry sky appeared in his mind, and he was so fascinated that he couldn't sleep. As a result, he dozed off for the first time in class today.

Thinking of this, Kaye's heart was a little unwilling, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and kept chanting "come out, come out" in his heart. But when he opened his eyes, the golden points of light still didn't appear, and after a few such attempts, Kaye shook his head, gave up his futile actions and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Kaye suddenly heard a chaotic sound of demonic beasts running behind the side of his body, and then he felt a strong wind hitting him, he subconsciously rolled to the side, and almost at the same time, two rows of sharp wolf teeth brushed against his cheeks. Kaye drew his saber and placed it across his chest, quickly assuming a standard, defensive stance in knightly swordsmanship.

Appearing around Kaye was a group of "Sabo", Level 5 wolf-type demonic beasts, mostly 2 to 3 meters long, with a snow-white body, only the head and claws faintly glowing pale cyan.

Like all other wolf-type monsters, Sabo is extremely gregarious, with a pack of about 8 to 12 Sabo and is led by the "Head Wolf".

Sabo is the lowest-ranking but most intimate of all wolf-type monsters, and will rarely attack humans in general, and even many nobles will raise tamed Sabo in their homes.

However, the group of Sabo surrounding Kaye at the moment did not seem to have the slightest intention of coexisting peacefully. They lowered their bodies and slowly approached Kaye......

*Note: Kaori Pig: A pink level 1 pig-type monster with a gentle temperament, the young Kaori is petite, very cute, and can emit a fragrance, it is a very popular pet. For this reason, Kaori pigs are also known as "pet pigs".
