Original Vampire

The atmosphere in the Bearded Tavern is still noisy and warm.

However, the atmosphere in the corner where Saru and the others are located has instantly stagnated.

"Riding...Knight?" The old mercenary opened his mouth wide and looked at Colin in surprise.

He knew that Colin's identity was not simple, but he never thought that he was actually a Knight.

Be aware that the Knight of this World is fundamentally different from the warrior of Bad Street.

Any civilian who can afford meat and develop well can learn how to inspire Battle Qi in the warrior union and become a warrior apprentice as long as he draws out a few Silver Coins.

But Knight is different.

To become a Knight apprentice, you must first have a certain innate talent, and, more importantly, you must accept the baptism ceremony hosted by Pastor Glorious Church.

It is completely different from the baptism on Earth, which is only symbolic and can be sprinkled by sprinkling water. The baptism ceremony of this World is used by the priest of Glorious Church to communicate with the Lord of Radiance, and it is on the baptized person. Carve the sacred mark.

This process is very expensive for the pastor. Therefore, the baptism ceremony that each pastor can host in his life is limited.

Therefore, this kind of baptismal quota is also extremely precious. It has basically been completely monopolized by the nobles, and the civilians are almost impossible to reach.

The scarcity of Knight can be imagined.

For example, Baron Anglia has only three Knights allegiance, plus Baron himself and his son Colin, and the entire Baron leader only has five Knights.

Among them, Colin hasn't even entered the ranks, and is currently only an apprentice Knight.

Professionals in this World can be divided into ninth rank according to their strength, the first rank is the weakest, and the ninth rank is the strongest.

Of course, there is also an apprentice level under First Rank, which is set for rookies who have not yet formally entered the rank.

Knight and warrior of the same level, in fact, the difference in battle strength is not very big. Knight does have the advantage, but in a head-on confrontation, it may not necessarily win the warrior. After all, martial skill must be considered. , Will, weaponry and other factors.

The real reason why the nobles are eager for the profession of Knight is actually because of its potential.

The apex of the warrior profession is the sixth rank.

Yes, looking at the entire continent, there has never been a seventh rank warrior, whether it’s humans, trolls, orcs, elf...never.

According to the words under the crown of Peter Messier, the first Pope of Glorious Church--

"Mortals need the gifts of gods to enter the Sacred Domain."

seventh The rank above is Sacred Domain, so seventh rank Knight is also called Paladin.

So, according to this statement, if you have not accepted the warrior of baptism, of course, you will not be able to get the gift of the gods, and you will not have any relationship with the seventh rank.

Currently in this world, there are only five occupations that can break through the sixth rank.

And without exception, they are all professions that believe in a certain deity.

Human Race Knight serving Lord of Radiance, troll warrior serving War God, elf knight-errant serving Goddess of Fate, Naga Imperial Family guard serving God of Storm, and God of Destruction serving Orc Skullcrusher.

Even sorcerers who profess not to believe in Spiritual God and only believe in the truth of Arcane cannot break through the sixth rank.

However, they can release a forbidden spell with a seventh rank or even a forbidden spell above the seventh rank.

But the release of such a forbidden spell requires a terrifying price to be paid by the sorcerer, and it cannot be regarded as a conventional means of attack.

Of course, Sacred Domain is not so easy to enter for Knight.

Once a Paladin is born in a family, the whole family will be very prominent because of it.

And all families that have been born in Paladin will be honored with the word "Holy" before their family name.

For example, the Hild family, the master of the northern part of the Glorious Empire, is the descendant of Paladin, the founding state of the empire, so it is honored as the Saint Hild family.

In the entire history of the Glorious Empire, only seven Paladin families have appeared.

The difficulty of entering Sacred Domain is evident from this.

As for eighth rank, it is called Legendary Domain.

The founding emperor of the Glorious Empire, Garner Lorenzo, is a Paladin of the Legendary Domain, and is also the only one recorded in history.

For more than a thousand years after him, Paladin has never entered the Legendary Domain.

Not to mention the ninth rank.

The ninth rank is also called Demi-God Domain, and it is said that only giant dragons who have overeigned this world can reach it. After their extinction, there has never been a race that can reborn the Demi-God powerhouse.

As for the ninth rank, that is the realm of Spiritual God...

In short, Knight is a noble and rare profession, and it can even be said to belong to nobles. Obviously, it should appear. In a place like a castle instead of a bearded tavern.

Generally, no Knight will choose to follow the mercenary group to another city. After all, they have their own subordinates, servants, and even an army.

Therefore, the appearance of Colin is very strange.

Just as the atmosphere in the corner became more and more solemn, a small furry head suddenly emerged from Colin's shirt.

"Meow——" seems to be very dissatisfied with his good night being disturbed, the kitten moved towards the bearded man with a "roar".

Colin slightly smiled, shoving a guy who got up very angry into his clothes again, and then asked the beard: "How do you tell that I am Knight?"

Actually, Colin feels he has been careful enough.

Without armor, the saber is just a standard one-handed sword, and the clothes are also "borrowed" from the uniform of a guard who is similar to his body.

Furthermore, according to the memory of the predecessor, although warrior and Knight do have different combat performances, it shouldn't be different if they don't take action.

Even more how, for a Knight apprentice like Colin who has not yet entered the ranks, since he can't inspire holy light to assist in combat, even if he really fights, there is no difference with the warrior apprentice.

Is there really a way to distinguish these two professions?

Colin feels that this may be a blind spot in the knowledge of the predecessor.

But who knows, Saru smiled slyly: "Guess it."

You got fooled!

Colin immediately realized that he was fooled by this seemingly reckless and simple beard.

Saru should only be suspicious, but Colin's subconsciously reaction allowed the other party to confirm his identity as Knight.

The main reason is that Saru's appearance is too confusing.

Colin didn't have much alertness, and he was cheated out of his real career by the other party.

Firefox Mercenaries.

hehe, no wonder it's called this name.

It looks like a violent bear, but in fact it is cunning like a fox.

"I have been in the mercenary world for more than forty years, and I don’t know how many people have been seen with these eyes. Hehe, you brat, although they are plainly dressed, they don’t look like a civilian. . Sure enough, it’s a scam!” Colin took a deep breath and kept reminding himself in his heart that he must be careful and careful when dealing with experienced old rivers and lakes like Saru.

However, on the surface, Colin appeared calm and composed, without the tension of being exposed.

He first took out ten Copper Coins in front of Saru and threw them to the old mercenary, indicating that he could leave first.

Then he opened the chair next to Saru and sat down naturally: "I admit that the previous trick is really not appropriate. I apologize to you. However, you It shouldn't be rejected. Is a Knight going with you?"

"Your name?" Saru put away his smile, staring into Colin's eyes and asked.

Colin looked directly into Saru’s eyes and replied in the most sincere tone:

"Kane, Kane · Sudor."
