I ran into a lot of trouble today, and the mobile phone that I had used for a few years also went on strike, and the battery actually bulged so much that the back cover was up...... Dysphoria. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

In addition, the subscription is good and not powerful. T, it's all my fault......

If he really wanted to run to the battlefield one day, Edward would really want to take it, no, with a ** division - not only the safety is greatly guaranteed. Moreover, the ** division has high requirements for the loot, and what they can't see is naturally the cheapest for the people around them, of course, the most important thing is that the probability of a ** division appearing on the battlefield is infinitely close to zero.

But the possibility of achieving this wish is also infinitely close to zero.

So let's be pragmatic.

Picking up a piece of metal from the ground, Edward smiled silently.

The shell that had been deformed in the explosion looked inconspicuous, no, even before the detonation, it was nothing more than a thin iron can with a metal bracket on the back. It is estimated that even if it is placed on the ground, people passing by around will not pay too much attention to it.

However, if you don't notice, the consequences can be dire.

The explosion of some crystalline powder that the old mage gave Edward was far more powerful than Edward had originally envisioned - after adjustments, the effect was almost ten times greater than that of black powder. And with it as a driving force, that inconspicuous little box can instantly burst out hundreds of steel balls the size of soybeans in one direction

As long as it explodes, it is estimated that within a few hundred feet it is an effective threat area, and within a few tens of feet, some protective spells with insufficient strength, such as magic shields and protective arrow spells used by mages, will not work at all, and even a weaker force field wall may be broken through by dense steel balls

As long as it is used properly, this thing is almost impossible to prevent - even the magician's detection magic can only do its own thing, and it is impossible to detect the magic aura of the material through a layer of metal shell.

Oh, and to put it simply, this is anti-infantry mines...... With the advantage of the alchemy circle being able to shape steel at will, plus the high-explosive effect of those alchemy powders, it would not have taken much effort to make something like Edward's zuò...... If you make a few hundred of them, and then increase the power and diameter of the steel balls, then even if the enemy is a whole team of mages or hundreds of knights, Edward will not be afraid.

This idea is undoubtedly exciting, but unfortunately...... It's just an idea.

I have to say that mages may be just a bunch of animals with no economic concept...... Because this gray-brown powder is refined from crushed rubies and several other ores, the material cost is naturally high and terrifying-like the one that just exploded, the explosives alone cost nearly a thousand gold coins of materials, not counting the time it takes for a mage to refine.

Okay, it's obviously a good deal to save a crisis with a thousand gold coins, or to take out an enemy, but for the same price, it's enough to buy two or three scrolls.

If he could, Edward naturally hoped to find more suitable cheap materials...... However, the old dwarf was obviously not interested in this, and only urged the chief apprentice to get something new to play with. Or just get some new dishes to try—and without his help, a mage apprentice wouldn't be able to repeat the refining process at all, and could only slowly try to find some balance between usage and dosage.

So, the rest of the time was spent on the scales, measuring cups and constant trials.

A few days passed by in a hurry, and the results were not spectacular, but Edward seemed to realize a certain mentality of researchers—repeated experiments would take too much time, and the closer you got to success, the more time you would unconsciously invest and ignore most of the other things.

But there are some things that have to be done - for example, the canonization ceremony a few days later.

The place where the canonization took place was not the imaginary main castle, but the glorious Knights' Square at the back of the city, where legend has it that the founding emperor of Tuminis, would gather the knights when the country was cut off from the imperial territory. Originally, it was just a wilderness outside the old town, but after hundreds of years of architectural changes, it is closer to a small city.

The stone buildings are divided into several floors, creating a silent pure land in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.

The hustle and bustle of a few streets and alleys seemed to be intimidated by the knightly statues that supported the buildings, and gradually fell silent.

The reason for this is because all the carriages were filled with beautiful ladies.

Whether it is the ladies who show their mature beauty, or the young ladies who have youth and are as glamorous as blooming flowers, they can always be the target of attention.

Edward didn't go out into the crowd, although he was one of the protagonists of the event at the moment, but because of this, it was impossible for him to come into contact with those boring and complicated strangers.

Although the annual investiture ceremony involves His Majesty the Emperor, in the feudal lord system of Tumines, this may not be a great ceremony - His Majesty the King is just a witness, and the canonized are basically the descendants of nobles from all over the world, at best, a few are members of the knights directly under the king himself,

And the canonization of the real knights who can fight in battle does not need to be bothered by His Majesty the King, and the lords at all levels are qualified to appoint and dismiss the knights under them. As for the knightly duels that followed, they usually selected some outstanding characters to replace the canonized knights, and the rules were closer to the competitive nature, at best they could only be regarded as a fancy show.

However, because most of the people gathered here are the second generation of officials, every time there is a ceremony for the award, there will be some powerful people with extraordinary status gathered here, and there are also many people who are willing to fight for a chance to appear here. Over time, this ceremony, which was not originally important, became one of the important ceremonies that became a gathering of big people.

This direction is obviously a little different from the main entrance, compared to the hustle and bustle, the silence is surprising, the entrance of the building, only a few heavily armed knights stand, and the empty street makes people feel like they are going the wrong way.

He handed the invitation to one of them.

The other party threw a strange puzzle - the person in front of him looked too ordinary, although the long robe seemed to be enough to explain his identity, but how could the rumored magician choose to ride a horse?

And even if you want to ride a horse, shouldn't it be a solid-colored horse that is incomparably superb, or something that is mixed with all kinds of outside blood and hideous fangs......?

Fortunately, the letter had the magic stamp of the royal family, and it was absolutely impossible to fake, even if it was an impostor, so after a few puzzled glances, the knights chose to let it go anyway - but they wisely chose a companion who would not leave Edward.

Contrary to the quiet appearance, the passage into this small fortress-like square was a completely different scene, surrounded by ornate decorations, countless colorful roofs, and many high-ranking people who came in horse-drawn carriages, all they had was a chair below. The spacious and huge playground was now neatly spread out into one phalanx after another, except for the passage in the center.

This peculiar feeling filled his heart with confidence,

They are often proud of their prowess, because they are often the target of challenge in the performances that follow. Of course, this is also a great opportunity to show yourself, and on this day and day, winning in the performance will make yourself even more noticeable.

I swear to be kind to the weak. I swear to fight bravely. I swear to fight a qiē mistake. I swear to fight for the unarmed. I swear to help anyone who comes to me for help. I swear not to hurt any innocent. I swear to help my brother knights. I swear that I will die for what I love

This is the knight's oath.

The best knight, brave, elegant, and skilled, he was of noble character, of a famous family, and of a distinguished voice; He was proficient in all kinds of falconry, respected the lower classes and the poor, and judged and weighed according to his own standards......

This is the legendary quality that a knight should have.

However, we know that there is often a difference between the ideal and the reality, and there is no such perfect person, which even the poets themselves who are full of heroic praises understand, or it is the many insincere flattering literary works that provide the capital to be ridiculed in the gap between the ideal and the reality. In order to highlight the imperfections of reality, poets retell ancient legends.

The so-called truth is that the sons and daughters of the great nobles are born with the hope of becoming knights - this hope simply means that they have the will to become a knight. As long as they agree, the title will automatically shine above their heads, and they don't need any recognition at all.

The sons of the minor nobles and merchant families who did not have a prominent family had to go through the formalities through formal channels, although they became the squires of a certain knight. However, their road will not be bumpy, as long as there are no huge omissions in the mix for seven years, they can still get an official position in the army,

And those guys from civilian backgrounds, if they want to realize their dreams, they can go through too many ups and downs, they can't even afford a set of the cheapest knight equipment, let alone exercise martial arts, the regular channel, is to first find a way to become a young soldier, and then through guò selection to become a knight waiter, endure the general seven-year career of miscellaneous servants, even more miserable than miscellaneous servants, because the power of life and death is in the hands of knights, only excellent ability can avoid all kinds of blame, and the knights who follow are good if they are ordinary, But many of the knights from the middle nobility had quirks that could or could not be imagined - sometimes the transition from chrysanthemum to sunflower was the most normal.

Therefore, it is often the easiest way to start with mercenaries - in fact, most of the civilian knights are born as mercenaries and have enough ambition and energy, after all, ordinary people would rather wander all day long than have the interest in participating in the "holy war", and do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the empire.

Of course, if you want to get ahead, sometimes it's a good idea to take the off-the-beaten-path path, such as winning the favor of a rich lady, or at some point finding a few wealthy women who are willing to support them...... Among the purposes of the desperate exercise, there is also a small hope that one day it will be favored by a certain lady.

The sons of the nobility, at an appropriate time, would be brought before the king, and in the presence of the elite, would be given knightly equipment: glittering boots, elaborate zuò chest pins, a pair of double chain mail, a spear made of ash and iron, and a shield decorated with colored iron at the side of the neck. The king himself carried an ancient sword for him, and then tapped the knighthood on the young man with his sword.

At one ceremony, twenty or thirty noble young men were given knighthoods, weapons, horses, and other gifts from the king. After the solemn ceremony, the whole procession had a week-long feast and festivities.

Huge. The war horse, which can only be described in this word, walks slowly on the slightly wet dirt with a chilling stride.

Even people who are far away will be disturbed when they see this war horse because it is too unusually tall. Whenever a huge horse's hooves step on the ground. It will make people feel that the earth is trembling. The deep footprints left behind the war horse made those who saw it stunned.

But compared to this giant horse, its owner is even more intimidating.

At this time, the cavalry could not be questioned as embodying a highly unified discipline and shocking obedience. The dense cavalry, which was in perfect harmony, kicked up clouds of smoke and dust in the valley like sharp scimitars, and even from the nearest cavalry, there was no noise except for the friction of armor and weapons.

Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, the arm of this man who didn't look tall was obviously extremely powerful, and the giant war horse under his crotch was not without struggle, but finally had to slowly calm down under his pull
