  Chapter 450 Eternal Dragon Rider IV

  Eternal Empire Royal Knight Academy is the earliest established, largest and most famous school in the three major provinces, integrating soul skills, forging, forging, art and other majors.

  Knights are the top talents in the entire empire, and they are naturally cultivated in a comprehensive manner. Therefore, if they can enter the Knight Academy, it means half of their feet have stepped into the middle class society.

  Of course, it's only half a foot, and it's not easy to step over all of them.

As early as hundreds of years ago, after the war between the human family and the Lentedams, the Warcraft family, and the undead family, the people of the Eternal Empire faced the situation of a large loss of talents within the country, so they opened this training center for nobles and royal members. A school of success—the Eternal Empire Royal Knight Academy.

  In the past hundred years, the Knight Academy has also successively emerged many imperial elites such as Paladin Omega, Alpha, Beta and so on.

  As the first dean of the Knight Academy, that is, Michel, the first emperor of the Eternal Empire.

  The Eternal Empire is admired by the world, and the eternal glory begins to shine on the continent.

  The huge stone sculptures carved by people in the shape of Michel I were placed in front of the palace and at the gate of the Knight Academy for generations of students to admire.

Members who can enter the Knight Academy are all future elites of the empire after graduation, and they may also be newly promoted nobles. A large number of nobles want their children to study in the Royal Knight Academy even if they are overwhelmed, so as to revitalize the family in the future. Glory is supreme.

  At least, a knight is glory.

However, in the past hundred years, because the members of the royal family and nobles have been recruited, and the recruitment is very strict, the number of students has gradually decreased, so that there has been no strong man who has reached the level of a paladin in a hundred years. Therefore, decades ago In this war, the combat power of the human race made other intelligent races underestimate them, and they were even eager to move against the human race.

   The best knights who have graduated from the academy in recent years are the land knights.

  Until the empire changed the enrollment system of the Knight Academy, the academy began to open to the entire empire, even the whole continent, as long as people, even people from Lentdam and elves, as long as they can speak and communicate, they can enter the academy.

  However, some also need to pay a part of the fee. This fee can also greatly relieve the economic pressure in the empire.

  Guderian, a strong man in the realm of paladins, came from the Knight Academy. He was an earl and was bestowed with the highest honor of the empire.

  Of course, all of this is for the purpose of greatly motivating ordinary people. The annual knight academy assessment in early summer is the busiest moment in Tianluo City, the imperial capital that has just changed.

  The local nobles and commoners took the exam, and even the other two provinces sent students to take the exam one after another, in order to gain the opportunity to enter the best knight academy in the kingdom of the human family.

  The Knight Academy does not enroll many students every year. There is no certain number, but it usually does not exceed 200 students. If there are too many students, the academy has limited resources and cannot concentrate on nurturing them.

  People who graduate from the Knight Academy are often the brains of the army, so this number is already quite a lot.

  The children of the royal family and some powerful nobles can enter the Knight Academy without taking exams, and the few remaining places are selected from some descended nobles and children of common people.

  Now, there are estimated to be more than 10,000 of these people who come to take the exam, so these children who can really enter the Knight Academy are very few, and most of the children are being eliminated.

  And a small number of children selected to enter the Knight Academy may not necessarily have astonishing achievements. Relatively speaking, as long as they can graduate from the Knight Academy, they are almost in the standard knight or great knight situation.

  You can also get a corresponding position in the empire's military establishment, and get rid of the poor life of civilians, but to continue to move up and become a noble, you still need meritorious service or something else.

  The annual examination is divided into preliminary examination and re-examination.

  Based on the number of people this year, the initial test will take about ten days, and about a thousand people will be assessed every day. Usually, after the first round, only one of the ten children can pass the test and enter the second test.

  The re-examination is only assessed for one day, and it is also selected from the remaining thousand or so children. In the end, only a hundred children can pass.

   In other words, out of a hundred children, only one will be selected to study at the Knight Academy.

   Moreover, the Royal Knights Academy only recruits teenagers under the age of fourteen, and those over this age cannot apply.

  As for falsification, it is treason and sent directly to the stake...

  Of course someone has done this in history. When the smell of his charred meat spread throughout the streets of the imperial capital, no one dared to hide it for a hundred years.

  It is generally believed that the age of fourteen is the best time to discover soul power.

  Some people are born with soul power, but for more people, the power of soul power is in a dormant state and requires certain external factors.

  Knight Academy, endowed with this external factor.

   As for whether you can master better soul power and reach the different realms of knights, it depends on your own ability...

  …

Reinhardt and Jessica, who had sold all their valuables, paid the registration fee, took the number assigned for the exam, and were standing among the crowd, looking up at the magic spell posted on the wall of the Knight Academy. Rune Announcement.

  Magic was first defined as witchcraft. After some scholars in the court and court wizards debated, the original witchcraft was finally regarded as a partial subject.

  At least in the imperial capital, using magic will not be caught as a heresy. Of course, it is limited to the normal four major types of magic, water, wind, earth, and fire.

  If anyone dares to expose the power of darkness, they will be wiped out directly...

The magic rune announcement is also a magical object that has appeared in recent years to solve the problem of too many examiners. It can automatically glow. Even standing behind the crowd, as long as the eyes are not particularly short-sighted, you can see clearly , The same is true for the emergency announcement of the imperial capital.

  Reinhardt reported to the Academy of Soul Skills, and he recommended Jessica to apply to the Academy of Arcane Arts, that is, to learn the power of magic.

  Jessica's thin body really couldn't remind Reinhardt that she could be an excellent fighter.

  The numbers in their hands are 587 and 595 respectively.

   After reading the announcement for a long time, I finally understood the content of the exam.

After spending half a day, Reinhardt and Jessica found the place to take the exam. Like other civilian children from other places, they found a random place in the large square in front of the Knight Academy, because these children did not have The money is going to stay in the hotel in the imperial capital, so the square is regarded as a resting place for these days.

  The school does not drive them away. The college understands that there may be a paladin among these children. The one at the beginning was a poor man. Although this hope has passed for nearly a hundred years...

Reinhardt bought some food, ate some when he was hungry, and slept when he was sleepy. In the big square where the crowd was stirring, the slightly cold nighttime temperature in early summer was warmed by the popularity, so the time passed. quick.

  Using the time before the exam, Reinhardt insisted on practicing every night. The practice method in Dragon's Diary, Reinhardt believed, was the key to his becoming a knight.

   Today is finally their turn to take the exam.

   Jessica, who was leaning on Reinhardt's lap, rubbed her sleepy eyelids, and looked up at the sky. It will soon be time for the exam. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel tighter.

   "Brother Reinhardt, what if we fail the exam?"

These days, Jessica didn’t sleep very well. Every time, she always dreamed that she and Reinhardt were eliminated, then lived on the street, became a beggar, and was finally sold to a mine as a child laborer. He couldn't help but say what was most worrying in his heart.

   "Don't worry. Even if we fail the exam, we will go to the Moon Glory Province in the south. It is said that there is a war with the Lundedam people there. I will go to be a soldier and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Life will be very good then."

   Reinhard comforted Jessica with a smile.

However, he knew very well whether Yueyao's army would recruit a child who was only fourteen years old like him. Reinhard felt that the current exams should be done first, and then it would not be too late to think about other things. If you don't do one thing well, you keep thinking about the future, that's a mediocrity...

  …

   After eating a little food that was left, I had another conversation with Jessica, the time for the exam was very close.

   Reinhardt and Jessica got up and walked around the crowds in the square to the exam site.

  After entering the Knight Academy, Reinhardt comforted and encouraged Jessica, and then came to the examination site of the Academy of Soul Skills.

  At this moment, the entrance of the examination room was crowded with children who came here for the assessment. Looking at the clothes, they were all ordinary children in shabby clothes.

  A member of the college came out to maintain order, and loudly announced the order of the exam and the precautions.

   "Children, everyone be quiet and listen to me."

Seeing that the children gradually calmed down, the staff member continued, "This year, ten people will enter the examination room in the order of ten people entering the examination room of the Soul Skill Institute. Please remember your number well, and come in when it is passed on to you. Anyone who violates the rules and enters the exam early or late will be considered as a failure. Well, everyone line up, don't make noise, and only come in when you hear your number."

  Reinhardt found a seat, sat down, and waited slowly. He wanted to calm down his inner tension, and he was also worried about Jessica.

At this time, a tall man in civilian clothes came over and sat down next to Reinhardt. It's the technical college exam."

   This is not nonsense, what can you do here without taking the exam?

   Reinhard couldn't help thinking.

   But he still looked up at the tall man.

  This guy is more than a head taller than himself. If it weren't for the childish look on his face, it would be hard to believe that he is less than fourteen years old.

   "My name is Gude, hey, what's your name?"

   "My name is Reinhardt. By the way, are you really not fourteen years old?" Reinhardt still couldn't believe that this guy's real age was under fourteen years old, and it was terrible to know the false age.

"Well, I'm only twelve years old, how about it? Am I very strong, haha. It's also because of this that my father drove me to take the exam at the Knight Academy. Otherwise, I wouldn't come here, it's really boring." Gu De said.

  Although it was unbelievable, they gradually chatted.

  Goode is not a local, but a child of a remote town.

Because he was too strong since he was a child, he often caused trouble for his father. Recently, he beat the boy who owned the grocery store and almost killed him. The father had no choice but to drive away Goode and let him go to work as a miner. , or go to the Knight Academy exam. He was not allowed to go back to see him until he had made a name for himself.

After hearing about Reinhardt, Gude happily patted him on the shoulder. Of course, if Reinhardt hadn't practiced the contents of the book these days, this pat would probably make him feel better today. There is no way to take the exam.

   "Reinhardt, you are amazing. Since you are older than me, how about I ask you to be the boss, hehe!"

  The poorer the children, the more willing they are to make friends, because only when they are united, will they not be bullied by those rich and noble children.

   Seeing Goode's honest and honest face, Reinhardt suddenly thought of Osgood, and didn't know what happened to the three of them now.

   Just when Reinhardt was about to answer Goode, the teacher's announcement interrupted him, and he heard his number being called.

   "Gude, it's my turn, I'll talk to you when I get out." Reinhardt patted Goode on the shoulder and got up to go in for the exam.

   "Oh, okay boss, then I'll wait for you here." Goode called the boss before Reinhardt agreed.

   There are ten children in the arena, including Reinhardt.

In the soul skills examination room of the Knight Academy, there was a long table in the middle of the examination room, and five examiners sat behind it. When they saw the children walking in, they nodded to the staff who had just gone out to explain the order of the exam. Nodding, motioning him to arrange for these children.

Under the order of the staff member, they stood in a row according to the order of numbers. Then, the staff member just said, "These are the assessment teachers sent by our Knight Academy this time, and they are the teachers sitting behind the desk. Responsible for the evaluation of your results. Uh, the content of this exam is divided into three items. The first item is to test strength. You have seen the stone barbell on the right. It weighs 300 catties. The first item is to let everyone lift the barbell. Of course, if someone feels that they are not good enough, they can quit first. Because as long as there is one item that fails, then today’s exam is considered a failure.”

  Looking at it, the children were all standing where they were, with no intention of leaving.

  The children were thinking in their hearts, what a joke, even if they couldn't lift it up, who would give up automatically after walking such a long distance.

The college teacher then continued, "Well, very good, everyone is very brave children. Then, the second part of the assessment is to test your agility. Have you seen the cage on the left? After a while, you will go in one by one. After entering, the teacher will release dozens of light-feathered birds, and the bodies of the light-feathered birds are covered with a layer of red paint, and you will also spray some vanilla powder on your body. It is a favorite food of birds of light feathers, and if any of you walk out with paint on them, then it is considered a disqualification. Is anyone going to quit now?"

Looking at the children who were still standing there without any plans to leave, the teacher smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Well, very good. Then I will go on to talk about the last item of today's exam, which is also the most critical item. , a test of the affinity of soul energy. Children, you should know that in fact, there are all kinds of soul power in our bodies, and everyone has this power more or less. To exert these powers, soul power The strength of affinity is the key. Of course, soul power can be accumulated slowly the day after tomorrow, but you must be able to feel it now. If you can’t even get close to soul power, then there is no way. Has anyone quit?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, three or four of these children left the examination room.

  Give up without trying?

  Reinhardt was very surprised. Of course he didn't know that the third item was the most difficult one, the affinity of soul power. In fact, Reinhardt didn't know whether he had this ability...

  …

"Oh? It seems that these children are still very sensible. Well, since you children are staying now, it shows that you have enough ability, great." The teacher saw the remaining children Said happily.

  Because there are less than ten children who can feel the affinity of soul power these days since the exam started, this made the Academy of Soul Skills start to worry whether the number of students this year is enough.

   Now there are only six people left in the examination room, including Reinhardt.

   "Okay, now the exam begins. According to the order, we will start to test the strength first, you come up one by one, and lift this barbell."

  Children aged fourteen and under, you can imagine how much strength they have at most.

  Of course, after practicing some basic soul skills, Reinhard naturally had no problem, and easily lifted the barbell above his head. But he still doesn't know how much benefit that book has brought him.

   This action surprised the five teachers who were assessed. This child who looks thin has quite a lot of strength.

   Not bad, give him full marks for this round.

  Obviously, except for Reinhardt and the other two kids who looked very strong, the other three couldn't lift the barbell. This round, another three were eliminated.

   Next, is testing agile.

  Agility is the foundation of a knight. The first item is strength, which is attack, and the second item is agility, which is dodge.

  A knight who can only attack is not a good knight.

   Since three students were eliminated, Reinhardt's number 587 was the first to be tested.

   This is a large cage with only about 20 square meters, in the shape of a cube. Reinhardt, after walking in through the small door, the teacher asked him if he was ready.

  Reinhardt nodded

  The teacher took out a black box and opened it at another small door of the cage. Immediately, a burst of red turbulence, accompanied by the noise of chattering, filled the entire cage.

   Reinhardt was ready before the teacher opened the cage.

   After practicing these days, he faintly felt a warm breath flowing in his chest. As long as his consciousness moved slightly, he could reach all parts of his body according to his own ideas.

The brain is also surrounded by such a layer of heat flow, as long as the airflow in the chest is transported, the airflow will also produce induction, making him see objects more clearly, and he can clearly see the flight trajectories of those birds !

  At this moment, he is entering that state.

  The flight trajectory and movement of the light-feathered bird that flew in slowed down a little in Reinhardt's eyes, although just a little bit was enough.

  The air flow continued to swim in Reinhardt's limbs, making his movements faster.

  Under the gap between slow and fast, Reinhard easily kept dodging the light-feathered birds flying towards him.

  This scene made the five teachers in the assessment happy immediately, this child is a good seed!

   Response full marks.

  The other two children opened their mouths wide when they saw Reinhardt bouncing around flexibly in the cage.

   Unbelievable!

time up.

   Reinhardt walked out, with no trace of dye on his body.

   As expected, the other two children were carried out covered in dye, and they were terrified when the birds and beasts danced wildly.

   Seeing that Reinhardt is the only one left in this scene, the teacher is still quite nervous, and the exam is not over yet.

   And it's the most critical item.

   I don’t know how compatible this child with soul power is today.

   If it doesn't work, then the Soul Skill Institute may be ridiculed by the Magic Court this year.

   "Reinhardt. Very good. You passed the first two assessments. Congratulations. But for the last exam, I still want to remind you that this assessment is no better than the first two!"

  The teacher introduced the rules. The affinity of soul power is to see if there is a sense of soul power. To put it simply, it is to use external force to interfere with Reinhardt to see if he can resist the external soul power.

  If the external soul power is resisted, the result is obvious, which can prove that the child has a foundation of soul power.
