Chapter 1 Squire Knight Assessment (1)

Odin Town is located on the southern border of the Temple Alliance. With more than 3,000 households, it is considered a larger town among the Haoyue City.

The rising sun touches the earth softly with light and warmth, and seems to awaken life. At this time, in the center of Odin Town, an assessment was being conducted in a relatively large two-story building covering an area of ​​about a thousand square meters.

"Tell me why you want to become a knight." A rich and powerful voice sounded like a metallic sonorous voice.

"Protect humanity, protect kindness, protect the temple, and protect relatives." The answers were neat and childish. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had answered this question.

This two-story building is the Temple of Knights in Odin Town, or Odin Temple for short. It is responsible for selecting and training children who have the potential to become knights in Odin Town. There are more than thirty children standing here today. , will conduct the assessment of knight squire, the most junior title of knight. Only by becoming a first-level knight attendant can they continue to study and practice here.

The owner of the rich voice is a tall and burly middle-aged man. His name is Balza, and he is the chief instructor of the Knight Attendant of the Odin Palace. It is said that he was only a little short of becoming a real knight back then.

"Tell me, what are the rules of knighthood?" Balza looked sternly at the children in front of him, who were generally eight to ten years old and lived in Odin Town.

The answers are still uniform, "Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, love, and justice."

Balza nodded with some satisfaction, "Very good. You have been practicing here for a year, and today is the time to take the test. The knight squire level one to ten, the corresponding spiritual power is ten to one hundred. Your task today is to reach spiritual power of ten or above and become a first-level knight attendant. All those who successfully pass the assessment will continue to stay here to practice for three years, and then go to Haoyue City to take the quasi-knight assessment. Only when you become Only when you are a quasi-knight like me can you truly be considered a member of the Knights Temple. Starting now, Jiang Hu."

"Yes." A taller boy came out and took off the wooden sword from his back.

All the young men were equipped with the same equipment, each with a wooden sword three feet long, three inches wide and two inches thick. The knight squire assessment is also very simple. There is what looks like a wooden pier in front of Balza. Behind the wooden pier is connected a stone trough, and there are stone beads in the stone trough. When the wooden pier is hit, the stone beads will vibrate, and the amount of spiritual power will be evaluated based on the height of the bounce when vibrating. It can be regarded as the most primitive tool for evaluating spiritual power. However, within a hundred spiritual powers, it is fairly accurate.

Spiritual power is a common numerical value used to evaluate the strength of all professions in the Holy Demon Continent. Whether it is a knight, a magician or any other profession, the strength is evaluated by spiritual power. Generally speaking, ten points of spiritual power is equivalent to the power of a normal adult man.

"Ah -" Jiang Hu shouted, holding the wooden sword in both hands, rounded it and hit it hard on the wooden pier.

"Bang." The stone beads jumped up.

Balza nodded with satisfaction, held the roster in his hand to record, and said at the same time: "Jiang Hu, spiritual power thirteen, passed. Next,..."

This kind of assessment is carried out very quickly. In a short time, half of the people have completed it, and almost half of them have passed.

"Long Haochen." When the name was called out, Balza subconsciously raised his head and fixed his eyes on a thin young man.

Compared with others, this boy was obviously malnourished and thin, but he had an amazing face.

Naturally formed and soft eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, straight bridge of nose, fair skin, and moderately thick lips. Even though he looks only eight or nine years old, he is so beautiful that even women would be crazy jealous. Especially although he has black hair, he has a pair of clear blue eyes. If you put on women's clothing, you will definitely look stunning.

Long Haochen walked up to Balza, and instead of taking off the wooden sword like the others, he made a fist with his right hand and placed it on his heart, bent down and saluted, "Instructor."

Balza's original serious gaze softened obviously, and he nodded and said, "Let's get started."

"yes."

Taking off the wooden sword, Long Haochen took a deep breath, suddenly raised the giant sword, and smashed it against the wooden pier with all his strength.

With a pop sound, the stone beads bounced. However, it obviously does not have a scale exceeding ten.

Balza immediately frowned, "Spiritual power nine, failed." He could see from the rebound of the wooden sword that Long Haochen had indeed tried his best, but he still failed to pass the test and became A knight squire.

Long Haochen's handsome face suddenly turned red. He looked at Balza and said excitedly: "Instructor, I, I..."

Balza sighed slightly and said: "Go down."

Long Haochen said eagerly: "Instructor, give me another chance. I will definitely pass."

Balza frowned slightly and said, "However, this is unfair to other people who did not pass."

Long Haochen suddenly fell silent, but in his eyes, there seemed to be an extra quality. Balza noticed his look. At this moment, the squire knight instructor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, what is that? Persistence? Is persistence among the ten rules of knighthood? The ten rules of knights are also the ten spirits of knights. Even in some real knights, you may not be able to see one of them shining brightly, but this child in front of you...

At this moment, Long Haochen turned around, faced all the teenagers present, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said in an extremely sincere voice to these partners who had trained together for a year: "Please, Give me another chance." As he said this, he actually bowed down.

Balza was stunned, and the teenagers were also stunned. For these children, who were generally only eight or nine years old, and the oldest was only eleven years old, they had no idea why Long Haochen was so persistent. In the eyes of most young people, it doesn't matter whether they become a squire knight or not.

Something gradually grew in Balza's eyes. If it were any other child, he might have thought that this child was eager for quick success or cowardly, but he would not think of Long Haochen. Because, although this handsome young man looks thin, he has been the hardest working one in the past year of training. Not only did he complete the necessary training every day, he would come an hour early and leave an hour late every morning.

Balza is a tenth-level quasi-knight. He has been an instructor in Odin Town for ten years, but Long Haochen is the most diligent student he has ever seen. This young man never needs supervision. Not only does he train hard every day, but he is also very gentle and kind to everyone. When the friends who train with him ask him for help, he never refuses.

This is also the reason why Balza's eyes softened when it was Long Haochen's turn to take the assessment. He was also surprised that Long Haochen failed to pass the examination. Such a diligent child still failed the assessment. The only explanation is that his qualifications are really poor.
