Chapter 76 Let’s Go to the Knight Tower!
"Crazy?" Lu En was quite shocked by the news.
Ordinarily, after he killed the sea monster that day, apart from getting the Tears of the Ocean and 12 adventure points, he didn't find anything strange.
If you insist on finding something unusual.
"That day after the ghost siren died, its body once emitted a kind of pink light. Those lights were crooked and it was unclear what they were."
"Pink light?" Chinedu frowned, then took out an ancient parchment book from his arms and turned to one of the pages, "Which kind of light are you talking about?"
Lu En looked around and saw that the parchment was densely packed with unknown small black characters.
This is a book that records ancient classics and legends about evil gods.
Where Chinedu pointed, there were several hand-painted patterns.
After careful identification, Lu En confirmed one of them.
"It turns out to be the 'Heart-Destroying Curse'!" Chinedu sighed, "The guys under Dream Dream have always been good at charming minds. Now that the type of curse has been confirmed, Max may have a chance to get better."
"Heart-destroying curse, what is that?" Lu En asked doubtfully.
Chinedu organized the language, "The so-called heart-destroying curse is the specialty of Huan Meng's 'Desire'. Planting seeds in people's hearts and burning their spirits will be a fatal blow to those who have faith. In my heart, I will be constantly pulling myself, until I go crazy.”
After hearing Chinedu's words, Lu En's thoughts suddenly changed.
No wonder he wasn't cursed!
I don't have any blasphemous knightly beliefs.
But the other party mentioned Huanmeng, which was a good opportunity to find out the news.
After the Siren said those words before, he has been extremely curious about these secret evil gods, but there is obviously no such relevant information in the library.
He immediately asked: "Then I often hear you talk about 'Dream' and 'Father'. What kind of existence are these? And the Weaver."
Chinedu was surprised and looked up at Lu En.
After some consideration, he said: "Originally, people below a certain position in the Knights' sect would not be informed of this information, but now that you are going to the Knights Tower to practice, and you are one of Belloberg's senior officers, I will tell you. It doesn’t matter.”
He cleared his throat and spoke eloquently: "Huan Meng and Loving Father are two of the 'Four Evil Gods'. The Weaver in your mouth, whose full name is 'The Weaver of Destiny', is also one of the evil gods. In addition, there are also the 'Blood Fiends', these four are all members of the Four Evil Gods."
"The four of them are in charge of four different rules of fate."
"Dreams control desires, loving fathers control plagues, destiny weavers control wisdom and conspiracy, and blood evils control killings."
"The four evil gods, for unknown reasons, opened tunnels at the same time one day two thousand years ago and led their followers and legions to the world of Seven Seas."
"The native humans and various races in the Seven Seas World have suffered unprecedented blows and dark years."
"Until the 'Emperor' appears."
"The Emperor grew at a dazzling speed during the Dark Ages, and took the lead in the spotlight, leading everyone in the Seven Seas world to launch a counterattack against the four evil gods."
"And after that, seal the passage and seal the evil."
"At the same time, we established the Seven Seas Empire and enfeoffed various clans, as well as those who had meritorious service in the 'Emperor's Conquest'."
"Then the Seven Seas Empire continues to this day."
"And now, for some reason, the seal is gradually broken, and those evil gods are ready to move again."
"The passage connected to the Beloved Father and the place where the Pioneer Hydra is sealed under the Beloved Father's seat are closest to Beloberg, so the Hydra Church is our main enemy target now."
"We still don't understand why the existence under Kehuanmeng's seat appears here."
"I can only roughly speculate that it may have something to do with the lord."
"But none of this is important to you. What you have to do now is to have a good rest and prepare to go to the Knight Tower."
After saying that, Chinedu shook his head, stood up and left on his own.
Lu En fell into deep thought.
After Chinedu's explanation, not only did he not understand what the siren said before, but he became even more confused.
Destiny Weaver, as one of the Four Evil Gods, when did you have an encounter with him?
However, after thinking for a while, Lu En did not come up with any useful results.
I can only keep this matter in my heart.
No matter what conspiracy the Weaver has, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with Hydra and Lugard.
During the trip to the Knight Tower, your strength must be improved quickly!
Four days flew by.
This day was the day when Luen set out for the Knight Tower.
Further training in the Knight Tower has always been an important matter for Beloberg.
Every three years, the Principality of Beloberg only has five places to study at the Knight Tower.
There are two in the Wasek family.
Apart from this, there are no more places available.
This can also be regarded as a disguised recognition of the strength of the Beloberg and Vasek families.
On such an important day, senior officials from every party in Beloberg came to participate.
Luen gave Carter and Lysa a thousand gold coins as promotion fees and living expenses, and after settling them in, he came to the Wasek family with peace of mind.
The long queue was very lively, and Castretto was also rarely released and followed Rune on his left.
On Luen's right side was the taciturn Liad.
After nearly a month of special training, Liad's strength has improved significantly, and his aura has become more stable.
Promotion to Sequence 8 is just around the corner.
The crowd walked through a large, neatly trimmed garden and entered a corridor.
On both sides of the corridor, there were various paintings.
Each picture represents the great achievements that a general or above has accomplished.
Rune stopped here for a while.
Seeing this, Kasruto also stopped.
Seeing Rune's interest in these paintings, he smiled and said, "Lieuting Colonel and I are the same. When I pass by here for the first time, I always stop to watch. This corridor is called the History Corridor. Although it lists the achievements of each general, it actually represents the history of Beloberg."
"This is also the place of hope for all Beloberg navy. It is also the dream of countless navy people to be promoted to the rank of general, complete merits, and be engraved here for praise."
Kasruto shrugged, "At least. I am eager for this."
Hearing Kasruto's explanation, Rune nodded slightly and continued to move forward.
In addition to the famous figures in the history of Beloberg, Admiral Nils and Major General Ores are also on the list.
But when Rune saw Lugard's deeds, he was slightly surprised.
The merits Lugard has obtained are actually one-third more than many predecessors, and even more than Ores's merits!
Liad spoke at this time: "The three admirals of the current navy, Nils first, Lugard second, and Ores third. If it weren't for Lugard's humble background and his temper in the past few years, according to his merits, he should have been promoted to vice admiral long ago."
"This person is really loyal to Beloberg." Looking at Lugard's record, Rune felt a little terrified in his heart.
This person was even more cruel than himself when he was young!
He is still gentle internally, but once it involves Beloberg's affairs externally, he is a madman!
Fight Sequence 6 Multi-Fin Sea Shark, win and kill it.
Fight Sequence 6 Shadow Pirate, win and kill it.
He went deep into the enemy territory, fought against the neighboring country's Sequence 5 Major General "Gino", and 5 Sequence 6 sieges, and killed them after winning.
He also raised troops to seize one million square miles of territorial waters.
He fought against the severely injured Sequence 4 Hydra Church Holy Bishop "Zaibibiana", fell into a desperate situation, burned his life, and won a tragic victory with broken limbs.
His battle records showed his murderous intention.
As long as he started a battle with him and became his enemy, he would never show mercy.
Just kill!
In his battle records, enemies below Sequence 6 were not even worthy of being on the list.
The enemy's Major General Gino was only promoted to Lieutenant General at the time. He was in high spirits and provoked at the edge of the territorial waters.
He was killed by Lugard the next day.
And Lugard's most brilliant battle record was the battle with the severely injured Sequence 4 Holy Bishop.
Although the enemy was seriously injured, winning was winning!
However, his achievements came to an abrupt end.
Perhaps it was because the injury was too serious that time, so he had to rest.
Rune sighed.
If he were to stand in the perspective of an ordinary person, a knight, a family, or a navy.
He would admire, respect, and even worship this person.
But he was treated as a chess piece by the other party.
It was the kind of chess piece that was in danger of death.
Perhaps in the eyes of that guy, there was nothing else worth protecting except Beloberg, and anything could be sacrificed.
"It's really a headache"
Rune curled his lips, no longer stayed here, and followed the crowd into a black and solemn church.
This is the core area of the Vasek family and the core area of the Beloberg Knight Sect: the Knight's Realm.
Inside the church, there are red "windmill chrysanthemums" representing loyalty, and the faint fragrance makes people calm.
The dome is dim but there is a slight light, and you can see the knight's virtues in various languages engraved on it.
On both sides of the church, there are statues of ten knights, who are the ten famous honorary knights in history.
And in front, four slightly larger knight statues are facing the crowd, holding their own weapons in their hands, with different postures.
These four are the legendary four knights.
The Knights' Tower was built under the leadership of three of them.
After everyone sat down, only a few people were still standing.
Lord Andrews, Admiral Niels.
And seven people who were about to go to the Knights' Tower.
Rune, Liad, Anor, Enrico, Manuel, Edson and Max.
From Rune, I learned that the curse-type Knights' Sect still had its own unique way of dealing with curses.
Max was pale at the moment, and his body was slightly thin, but there was nothing special about his appearance.
But Rune could sense that the spirit-inspired aura similar to that of the siren still remained on him.
Presumably, the curse was only temporarily suppressed, but not completely removed.
But Max obviously didn't want to give up the opportunity to study in the Knights' Tower easily.
So under such circumstances, he still came.
The seven people standing in the venue were considered the most outstanding young people in Beloberg in the past three years.
The list of people who went to the Knights' Tower for further study was announced for seven days.
After no one objected, it was finally decided.
Lord Andrews, this was the first time Rune had seen him.
In the territory of Beloberg, this old man's presence was not very high, and it was usually the admirals who handled government affairs.
But no one dared to underestimate the existence of this old man.
As a principality, even if the lord's power is weak, it still has its foundation.
Andrews stepped forward and issued the [Black Tower Knight Medal] to the seven people one by one.
This medal is not only a must to enter the Knight Tower, but also a symbol of honor.
When the medal was handed to Rune, Andrews looked at him carefully for several times, and then patted his shoulder with appreciation.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rune, I have heard of you for a long time. The young man is very good."
"If you work harder, it will not be a problem to surpass Lugard in the future!"
He smiled and said, "If my daughter is not about to get engaged, you are a good candidate."
The people around heard this and looked at Rune, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After all, Rune's promotion speed is very fast.
The second lieutenant was awarded by Major General Lugard, and the lieutenant was promoted by Admiral Niels. Major General Ores publicly said that he was optimistic about this guy.
The list of promoted lieutenant colonels was reviewed and approved by the lord himself, and he had to go to the Knights' Sect for further study.
Now Lord Andrews even joked that he would marry his daughter to him.
Although it was a joke, it was obvious that the lord liked this guy.
Everyone said that in the city of Beloberg, the lord's faction and the Niels faction were at odds.
But why did this Rune have such a good relationship with every faction?
Even if they knew Rune's record, there would always be people who envied and hated him.
After Andrews awarded the badges, he gave another passionate speech, which drew thunderous applause.
Then, Rune and the other seven followed Niels into the secret room at the back of the church.
A broken mirror, with a spiral nebula scene on it, kept turning, as if calling the owner of the badge.
Niels turned to face the seven people, and the atmosphere became more serious.
His powerful aura enveloped Rune and the others, and his eyes became sharp.
After a moment, his steady voice sounded.
"Going to the Knight's Tower is a recognition and reward for you, but it is also your responsibility."
"Studying in the Knight's Tower is an opportunity that countless knights dream of, but there are a few key points you need to keep in mind."
"First, although the Knight's Tower is a treasured place for further study, what matters in it is real training!"
"The so-called real training, in addition to abandoning everything and practicing meditation, there are also actual combats of life and death. Every battle is hovering between life and death."
"Second, when you go out, you represent the Principality of Beloberg and the Knight Sect Vasek Family!"
"In there, strive for all honors, uphold the spirit of chivalry, and don't embarrass us."
"I can still tell you the truth now, The number of places for knights to study is not fixed, but depends on the knights' own efforts in each round! "
"Originally, there were few qualifications in our principality, only four in total, and General Lugard grabbed three places back."
"I don't expect you to grab many places, but at least don't lose too many."
"The third point is also the most important one."
"The Knight Tower is not a one-time place for further study."
"The first time you enter the Knight Tower is actually equivalent to an 'entrance test'."
"Only excellent people can continue the subsequent courses."
"Whether you can meet the requirements depends on you."
After saying these words, Niels made way, and the light of the broken mirror became brighter.
One by one, Rune entered, and Luen was the last one.
Niels looked at him, as if he had something to say.
After a few seconds of silence, he said: "Although you are not a knight, many things of knights are worth learning from."
"For example, the knight's cultivation method and fighting skills."
"If you can choose an introductory method, I recommend you to choose "Spiritual Element Transformation Technique."
Then, a letter was stuffed into his hand.
He said: "You are the best in this batch. This letter of recommendation was written to you by Lugard. You can go to his previous mentor. Of course, you can refuse. It all depends on you."
Lune took the letter, was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and entered the broken mirror.
