Ye Buqun sighed and looked up at the sky: "This truth, only you will say it, when we were in the Knights Academy, the swordsmanship teachers all asked us to strictly cultivate the Holy Light Cross Sword and practice our own Holy Light Energy cultivation." But I prefer the simplest sword poses. For example, this thrust is just the most basic action in swordsmanship. But in the end, in the competition in the Knights Academy, I was at the end, and with a sword stab, I pierced my opponent's chest. And then took the first place. The guy who danced the Holy Light Cross Sword to the sky had the priest treated in the hospital for a week. ”

"The sword is a weapon, but it is a combination of a few simple actions, which is nothing more than stabbing, slashing, and teasing...... Wait, you've practiced the simplest to the point of being superb, which is what we call in the Oriental Martial Arts. When Xiao Lei said this, he seemed to be deliberately going around, as if he was asking Ye Buqun some things about the Vatican Knights: "By the way, why do I always feel that there is a lot of oriental martial arts in your movements?"

Ye Buqun smiled and replied, "Well, in fact, the Vatican knights have always had martial arts teachers from the East. Your Eastern martial arts are more advanced than those in the West, and many students in the Order have experienced the training of Eastern martial arts. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Lei's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth pulled a sneer: "Oh? The knights of the church actually have a martial arts teacher from the East?"

"The strength is quite good. Ye Buqun replied.

"Oriental people are willing to teach you foreigners the real advanced martial arts?" Xiao Lei was a little strange: "According to what I know, most of the martial artists in the East take the distinction between the portals very seriously, and the distinction between nationalities is even more serious. ”

Ye Buqun glanced at Xiao Lei and said in a strange tone: "Anything, difficulties can be overcome. Patience can solve a lot of problems, with enough time and enough effort. Speaking of this, he smiled: "Do you know that in the Knights of the Church, since when has there been an oriental martial arts instructor?"

Without waiting for Xiao Lei to speak, Ye Buqun himself had already said it: "It has been since the fourteenth century!"

Sure enough, Xiao Lei was slightly surprised: "So early?"

Ye Buqun hesitated. He sighed and said: "Xiao Lei, you should know that the purpose of the church is to spread the faith of God to every corner of this world! Such a large mysterious territory in the East is still an undeveloped virgin land for the church!"

"Development?" Xiao Lei smiled: "I think the word 'conquest' is more appropriate." ”

"Xiao Lei, you should also know that we were in a hostile state before. Ye Buqun's tone was a little difficult: "I read the records in the church. Regarding the establishment of the Knights' Eastern martial arts teachers, there was strong opposition from several bishops, according to them, the Vatican's paladins should maintain their own 'blood'. However, the Pope at that time was a person with a very unique vision, and at his insistence, the Knights finally began to set up martial arts instructors in the East. Although it is difficult to find martial arts masters in the East, there are still some results after hundreds of years. He smiled and said, "Don't talk about it far away, just talk about Japan and South Korea." What kind of karate, taekwondo, aren't they all branches of your Chinese martial arts, spread to their countries, and then slowly changed over the years?"

"Hehe, I can put down the shelf and learn the strength of the enemy, the original pope was really ambitious. Little Ray smiled bitterly.

Did Shan Di Gang really make so many preparations in advance?

Speaking of this, Xiao Lei asked very carefully: "Then in your Knights, have there been knights from the East, and is there a supreme leader of the Holy Knights?"

"It's impossible. Ye Buqun shook his head: "You may not know much about the composition of the Knights. First of all, the Vatican Order is not as large as you think, there are not too many people, and it is not a military organization...... If you have to describe it, it's probably like those martial arts schools in the East. There are teachers, there are disciples, and they are passed down from generation to generation. There aren't too many of them. It couldn't really be the size of a legion, and in that case, it wouldn't have been hidden underground for so many years. The highest rank of the Order is, of course, the Seven Paladins. And the paladins cannot directly give orders to the Order, nor can they command the Order. The paladin is just the strongest person selected by the knight cadets in the knight order after passing a strict selection. On weekdays, the Knights are in charge of some of the Knights' teachers, as well as a Bishop on duty. ”

After a pause, Ye Buqun seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "As for the Orientals entering the Knights in the Vatican...... It's also impossible. After all, the Guardian Knights are the closest guardian force to the core of the Vatican.

It's like the Praetorian Guard of your ancient Chinese emperor couldn't have found a foreigner. The cadets of the Order usually enter the Order from a very young age to receive training. The children selected are all from families that have been devoted to the church for generations, or simply families that have been knights for hundreds of years, or some gifted orphans who have been found and raised from an early age. The process of selection is unlikely to allow an Oriental to enter the Order. The establishment of the martial arts teacher in the East has already caused so much controversy, if there is a yellow-skinned and black-haired face in the Knights, then those bishops who maintain the Vatican bloodline will not have to make a fuss?"

"In addition, the knight is not a simple warrior, the guardian knight of Shan Digang will actually accept some spell learning. And more often than not, it is the strict cultivation of faith. Therefore, a person of other races is unlikely to enter the Vatican...... Unless......" Speaking of this, Ye Buqun was a little hesitant.

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Pope orders it. Ye Buqun said: "Actually, it is not without people of other races who have become Vatican knights in history. According to the accounts I have read, at least thirty years after the Crusades, two men from the Arab world entered the Order, but they were just children at the time, and they were brought back from the Arab world by the Crusaders. One of them is a mixed race. And unfortunately, these two children did not pass the assessment later, and they did not even have the opportunity to enter the knights for training. ”

"Half-breeds. Xiao Lei whispered these two words, and then simply asked directly: "Ye Buqun, you used to be the chief paladin of the church, so let me ask you, do you know a person named Ximen?"

"Simon?" Ye Buqun was stunned for a moment.

"No, it's not Simon, I'm not talking about the English name, or the Chinese name is 'Ximen'. ”

"That 'Ximen' of Ximen Qing?" Ye Buqun asked.

Xiao Lei couldn't cry or laugh: "Yes, it's Ximen Qing's Ximen ......*, you foreign devil, you have actually watched "Golden Vase Plum"?"

Ye Buqun immediately denied it, and his face was full of righteousness: "Nonsense! How can I read that kind of book! But I have read "Water Margin" in your four famous books. ”

"*, it's strange to believe you. Xiao Lei said: "Don't say anything else, do you know this person?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of this name. Ye Buqun shook his head, a little dazed. Xiao Lei looked at his eyes, Ye Buqun's gaze was very sincere, he was telling the truth.

Xiao Lei frowned.

With Ye Buqun's status and status in the church, but he didn't know the Pope's godson?

"What's the matter? Why do you ask this question?Does this man named Ximen have any questions?" Ye Buqun asked blankly.

"Well......" Xiao Lei thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "Ah! I almost forgot, he still has a name, not Simon...... Do you know that there's a guy named DuPont? He's a half-breed."

As soon as he heard this name, Ye Buqun's face immediately became solemn! With a strange look in his eyes, he looked at Xiao Lei solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say? Dupont?!"

"Yes. ”

"You're talking about DuPont?"

"Yes. ”

Ye Buqun's expression was a little strange: "How could you think of asking such a person?"

Xiao Lei shook his head: "I'll explain this question later, you tell me first, do you know this person?"

"I know. Ye Buqun nodded, his tone was a little strange, as if with a strange emotion: "You don't know...... DuPont, this name, is a name that is feared by everyone in the Knights, and it is forbidden to be mentioned!"

"Well, why?" said Xiao Lei, puzzled.

"This is something that happened many years ago...... Ye Buqun's smile was a little bitter, and then he began to speak slowly.

"I went to the church when I was very young, and then I passed the selection, including physique, intelligence, and character, and was selected by the Knights to enter the Knights for training, and at that time, I was ...... Konstantin was also in the Order, but he was already a high-ranking knight, I remember when I was ten years old, Konstantin became a paladin. At that time, there were already six paladins, and all the high knights of the Order were fighting for the title of the seventh paladin. Since there are only seven paladins, once the slot is filled, a new paladin will be selected again unless a paladin dies or is deposed for a serious crime. ”
