675 Heraldic Knights
Beta was very happy to get the letter of introduction. Of course, this is just his acting skills. His current character is a very ambitious young man who is determined to climb up.
Beta did not go to the Sanctuary in a row, but stayed in Echo City for a while. Arnold asked him why. Beta said: "Now the high-end combat power of Echo City is seriously damaged. If someone is sent to Mama City or Ellen City, Lord Nadette may be in danger. I will wait here and wait until the city lord recruits new combat power and forms a new team before leaving."
This naturally reached Nadette's ears soon, and then his senses towards Beta became even better.
It is not difficult to see young people who are ambitious and capable. However, young people who are capable, ambitious and understand the worldly style are pitifully few.
Nowadays, the young man with some ability does not want to fly to the sky and the sun.
Beta usually stays in the city lord's mansion, and most of the time he spends studying the magic patterns on the black coffin, and occasionally goes out for a walk.
The relationship between Heidi and Nadette is stronger than before. Now those who are familiar with her are already secretly calling her the city lord's wife.
With the nourishment of love, Haidi looks more beautiful and charming than ever.
In Holeven, in the winter wind city, Kyle was a little worried.
The bears seemed to be endless, one after another. Wind City was not an extremely wealthy city. Although Kyle was here, there was also the master-level assassinator Catherine, and the elite-level fire magician Barbara, the accumulation of casualties in Wind City gradually increased.
"Or what if we look for support from Tonggu City?"
Sitting in the hall, Kyle held his nearly three-year-old son and suggested: "The strength of Tonggu City is very strong, and they are rich enough to support the task of exterminating the Bears."
"No!" Barbara slapped the table hard, and her eyes widened: "I firmly oppose that Alice's man coming to our city."
Just kidding, one Belin is enough to make her feel sad. If you come with more beautiful and pure Alices, can you still want this family?
Katherine smiled and did not express any opinions. As a mother, she naturally hoped that Kyle had only Barbara, a wife. But as a person who experienced it, she knew very well that an excellent man was always surrounded by a lot of outstanding women, which was inevitable.
If there is a problem in the emotional world of children, they can solve it themselves. If the elders intervene at will, it will be easier to complicate things.
Kyle smiled bitterly. He knew why his wife reacted so much. After waiting for a while, he said guiltily: "Or, let Belin build a Woking Temple in the city. They are very good at managing the city and renovating infrastructure and promoting commercial development. They can significantly increase taxes within one or two years, so that we can have the confidence to fight a protracted war."
Barbara looked at Kyle coldly, and her expression was not sure how resentful it was. After a while, she said helplessly: "Okay, it's okay to let Belin come in. Anyway, she has given birth to a daughter for you. You just want to find a reason to keep her by your side, right?"
Kyle could only smile dryly in embarrassment.
"But if the God of Wealth is brought in, it will break the balance of religious forces in the city." Catherine suddenly said from the side: "Although the Temple of Light and the Temple of Storm are not strong in the city, if the God of Wealth comes in, they will definitely have different ideas."
Kyle thought for a while and said, "Religious freedom competes with believers. This is the national policy of our Holevin, and they cannot disagree."
"National policy is national policy, but local unspoken rules are local unspoken rules." Catherine said slowly: "Many times, every time you decide something, you must consider the opposition of local forces or even counterattack. Belin is your lover, and it is normal for you to consider her, but the more this happens, the more you have to plan things well. Because almost all the nobles in the city will not be the same as us. Every time our decision is failed, they will become relatively stronger. The world is so big, and power is not too rare. It is enough for us to suppress the nobles in the city, but it is a bit troublesome to deal with the two temples of the divine religion. After all, once we take action, the other nobles will definitely think this is a good opportunity and will unite with the two temples to deal with us."
Kyle knew that Katherine was teaching herself to become a qualified manager. He thought for a while and asked, "So, what should we do?"
"Different nobles." Catherine smiled and said, "Don't rush to release the news that the God of Wealth has introduced. Instead, we must tell them that we are going to enthrone two silver emblem knights."
Kyle pondered for a moment and understood: "You mean, the Wilsons and those two from the Links family?"
"Smart. I am worthy of being a student of Beta." Catherine smiled and said, "These two families are the strongest forces in the city of Wind, except for us. Now, the name of the Heraldry Knight has become deeply rooted in people's hearts after our secret propaganda."
"What if we take the initiative to lean over?" Barbara asked.
"No one will be rare for the things that come to your door, but the ones you fight for are meaningful." Catherine smiled and said, "We can hold a duel ceremony, and even civilians can participate. The top two can be named Silver Knights."
Barbara asked again: "What if the civilians win?"
"That's not better. Generally speaking, knights from civilian origin have higher loyalty. Anyway, we will not suffer any loss. The civilian who can get the first place does not need to be cultivated. As long as they help him stand firm in the city and give them some appropriate help, they will naturally get close to us. And most importantly, knights from civilian origin will be in the first thirty years and will be inconsistent with other nobles."
Barbara exclaimed: "Mother, you are so sinister."
"I'm just a very ordinary method." Catherine shook her head slightly: "If Kyle's teacher is here, she would definitely come up with a better solution, but I don't have the ability and can't guess the means he will use."
Kyle, a student, is naturally the clearest and most convinced about Beta's abilities. Although Barbara has not had much contact with Beta, she can cultivate a talent like her husband Kyle. When she is not strong enough, she can still hold them to the ground to rub against the Dongfeng City family. So she is very clear that Beta is far superior to them in terms of strength and intelligence.
However, she still didn't like Beta very much, and even felt a little disgusted. After all, Beta held Catherine hostage, threatened his father, and turned his father into a knight.
A city lord was threatened to become someone else's knight, which was very humiliated... and his mother was also despised in front of everyone.
Although she also knew that their family was wrong first, most people tended to be more inclined to themselves, so she didn't like Beta very much.
Two days later, the entire Dongfeng City was in full swing, and the story of the son-in-law of the city lord's family being wanted to enthrone the Silver Emblem Knight spread throughout the city.
Everyone knows now that Kyle was just an ordinary country kid back then, but suddenly he was crowned as a golden emblem knight by a strong man. Then he counterattacked, married a rich and beautiful woman, and reached the peak of his life.
Unlike the honorary knights of ordinary nobles, those who are canonized as herald knights will have great talent. Ordinary people become good talents, good talents become handsome, and handsome talents become geniuses. If a genius is canonized as a knight, then he will have very special abilities like the legendary brave, and it is very simple to become a master-level strongman. It is just a matter of time to break through the legend.
No one thinks that their talents are too high, and anyone wants to become stronger.
In the tavern, the drunkards were still drunk, but what they were talking about had changed from gossip between women and nobles to the question of the enthronement of the silver emblem knights.
"I heard that it will be held in front of the city lord's mansion in three days."
"No one can die, only wooden weapons can be used to attack."
"A spellcaster can participate, but cannot be a member of any temple."
"The age cannot be over forty years old."
"It is said that the city lord's wife is also a heraldic knight. I accidentally saw a silver Gemini heraldry on the back of her right hand."
"Ms. Barbara has the back of her hands, but that lucky boy has the golden back of her hands."
The nobles naturally knew the news that even the drunkards knew. In fact, they discovered the Gemini emblems on Kyle, Barbara, and Catherine very early. But at that time they only felt a little strange, thinking about how the pattern of the city lord's family changed. Until later, Kyle and Catherine broke through the master level one after another, and Barbara's strength improved by leaps and bounded it with their changes.
Then they heard the news that Catherine deliberately released, and then they realized that in this world, there were special abilities such as the Heraldry Knight.
No matter how you understand, whether you are jealous, they also understand that this ability is too precious, and will definitely be limited. At most, it will be supplied to your own people. Otherwise, Kyle's mud legs would have long since enthroned the seals to a large number of officers in the Dongfeng City, so why just give it to his wife and mother-in-law?
In fact, everyone has inquired about it and proved that this place is indeed very precious.
Three days later, there were heavy troops guarding the gate of the city lord's mansion to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
The people who participated in the election came with their wooden weapons and wooden armor. Before noon, the participants on their faces arrived in the garden and they were separated. After all, the people around were their own opponents. Most people closed their eyes and rested, and only a small number of people observed their potential opponents.
Although the message released stated that the caster did not restrict the participation of the caster, Kyle found that there were no caster among the candidates.
He thought about it and understood what was going on. After all, most of the spellcasters are arrogant and are very superstitious about the power of magic. Most of them look down on the extremely magical things like the Heraldic Knight.
Kyle stood on the platform, ringed the bronze bell, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "I'm glad you can come to participate in this duel selection. I am Kyle, and I am also the lucky boy you mentioned."
The people below burst into laughter. Both the contestants and the soldiers thought Kyle was very approachable and could afford to joke, and was a person who was not an official.
With just one sentence, Kyle immediately gained a wave of favor.
"I believe everyone has already understood some of the abilities of the Heraldic Knight and strengthened the talent of the Heraldic Knight." Kyle looked below and smiled: "The Heraldic Knight has several very powerful abilities, which are very magical and hard to believe. I chose two of the more easy-to-understand explanations."
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, there were a lot of discussion below. They really didn't expect that strengthening talent was just the most basic ability... Then how could other abilities go against the will of heaven?
There was a lot of discussion below immediately, and it was noisy like a vegetable market.
Kyle clapped his hands hard, attracting everyone's attention again and calming them down.
"There is another special bloodline ability. Although our Heraldry is not a relative, the feelings between our Heraldry Knights are better than relatives. When you become a Heraldry Knight, you can see the current stage through this special bloodline ability and you can become stronger."
Everyone was frowning. Isn’t there only two ways to become stronger, either fighting or rigorous training?
"We Heraldic Knights can become stronger by ordinary people's means, but we have a special way to become stronger. For example...eat something, chat with someone, or send some letters for others."
What kind of trick is this to become stronger? Can you become stronger even if you send a message to others? No one below speaks, but almost everyone has a strong sense of suspicion.
"I know you don't believe it, but this is indeed true. I don't need to lie to you. The Heraldic Knight is a very, very special profession, but after you become the Heraldic Knight, there will be a very powerful and divine voice telling you that you will receive some tasks next, and the choice between whether to do it or not is in your mind. These mundane affairs are very strange, but after completion, it will indeed improve your strength. The stronger your strength, the more tasks you need to complete to improve, but... it is much faster than training in normal methods or fighting."
Looking at Kyle with confidence, he thought that among them, two silver emblem knights would soon be born. There was no need for the other party to lie to them, and then soon, they believed it.
Some people who have paid attention to or investigated Beta know that he occasionally does strange things, such as asking for wages for people and choosing poor people. Barbara and Catherine have also done similar things.
At first they found it funny and strange, was this family twitching and how could they do such a self-destructive thing?
But if it is a means to become stronger... then everything makes sense.
In order to become stronger, many people are willing to sacrifice to demons, let alone just help people pick up water and ask for money.
"There is another kind of ability, which is the ability of the Heraldic Knights to form a special team."
