Proof of the Sun King

"By the way, where is Teresa?" Ryan asked casually after thinking of something.

"Teresa? Did you mean Ms. Trovik? She and you met a mercenary group after moving on both sides, so they moved with them." After the Archbishop replied, he turned off the communication.

"What a stubborn woman." Ryan shook his head.

The spellcaster is very powerful. A spellcaster of the same rank casts enough spells to destroy ten melee classes.

But the caster is also very weak, and the time to read the spell is enough to kill him ten times by a melee professional of the same level.

So spellcasters especially need human protection.

As for why there is a mercenary group willing to act with that woman?

The answer is also very simple. Whether there is a spell caster in a team will double the strength and crisis response ability of a team. For example, an elite warrior is compared with an elite spell caster. , just like a brick mover with a monthly salary of 6,000 and a senior engineer with a monthly salary of 6,000. Although brick movers earn the same amount of money as senior engineers, they only know how to move bricks. A senior engineer can do more. All kinds of spells, abundant potion reserves, as well as the experience and profound wisdom of knowledge and wisdom, spellcasters are so popular.

This is the role of spellcasters. They are the darlings of heaven and earth. They are called "Masters" and are the dream team members of all adventurers. Ryan has traveled for many years and has a deep understanding of this situation. For example, he knows Yes, if a mission requires an elite caster to dispatch once, then the expected return must be at least ten gold dinars, otherwise it is impossible to persuade the master to dispatch.

Ryan also dreamed of becoming a Mage when he first crossed, but it made him very sad. After testing, he did not have enough magic affinity, and he was destined to miss the Mage in this life. Reality is not a game. After all, there are very few people who can have the talent of a spellcaster. Only 0.1% or even less people will have enough talent to embark on the path of arcane magic. Ninety percent of them can only be ordinary apprentices for life, and only breakthroughs can be made. Ordinary rank, after entering the elite rank, they can be regarded as spellcasters who can truly be on their own.

But well~ Ryan stretched out his hand, his azure blue eyes gathered light, and light blue energy threads lingered on the tips of his fingers, and then disappeared without a trace.

Thanks to the mysterious man I met in the passage, he taught Ryan how to use human brain psionics to cast spells, so Ryan himself is a hidden spellcaster, on the surface he is just a warrior, um, a member of Nord Kingdom Knight of the Kingdom White Wolf Knights.

Now that enough information has been obtained, it is no longer necessary to visit around. Ryan went directly to the blacksmith shop. He had just experienced a fierce battle yesterday, just in time to repair his equipment and maintain his weapons.

Many people are used to playing games and take it for granted that once a weapon is equipped, it can be used forever. This weapon is so sharp from beginning to end that it does not need maintenance from beginning to end. As long as it is allowed, the protagonist of RPG can use it. This weapon is from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. Similarly, a piece of clothing can accompany the protagonist through countless battles. After countless knives and axe cuts, countless long guns and short cannons, and even the baptism of magic, it can always be as clean as new. And provide consistent protection.

However, the game is a game, and the reality is reality. The fact is that if the sword is used too much, the blade will be nicked. If the armor is subjected to too many attacks, it will be damaged and gradually lose its defense. Check, but also regularly replenish various medicaments, such as regular application of sword oil and the like.

The blacksmith shop in the town is located close to the center of the town. The old blacksmith has more than 20 years of experience in blacksmithing. Although he must be very skilled in forging technology, in Lane's opinion, this old blacksmith He has been a blacksmith in this small town all his life, so his level can be imagined...

It's definitely not that great. From Ryan's point of view, this blacksmith shop must be similar to an RPG novice village, selling some whiteboard weapons and equipment.

Entering the blacksmith shop, sure enough, all the old blacksmith could do was help Ryan to check the damage to the inner ring of his chain armor, and also help him maintain the weapons. As for the equipment hanging in the blacksmith shop, he It can be said that he doesn't like anything. He picked up a standard fine iron long sword, Ryan danced a few sword flowers, and the icy sword edge flashed in the room. It can be seen from these actions alone, Ryan has high attainments in swordsmanship. The long sword in his hand seems to have spirituality and a strange rhythm, and the sword body reflects the cold light and shakes around the house.

The old blacksmith was oiling Ryan's warhammer. When he saw the guest testing the sword, he glanced worriedly at a small face exposed outside the door and shook his head slightly, but the small face was full of reluctance, and he just continued to look Dancing swords with the knight.

"Well~ this is a good sword." Ryan put down the standard long sword and said to the door, "Don't look at it, come in!"

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in timidly, his body was wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat made of linen and a robe made of animal skins, his face was red with cold: "Hello, Sir Knight. !"

After speaking, the boy made a ritual, which was not very standard. He stroked his left chest with his right hand, and stretched his left hand to the left, with his palm facing upwards.

"Hello!" Ryan nodded, and the old blacksmith breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Knight, this child is called Nim, he is thirteen years old this year, he has awakened his professional talent at the age of eight, he is now a warrior, and when he sees a knight The adults dance swords, maybe want to learn something, please forgive me."

"Awakened professional talent at the age of eight?!" Ryan became interested.

The awakening time of professional talents is mostly at the age of seven or eight. If a person's talent is good enough, he will automatically awaken the talents of professionals at the age of seven or eight, and set his future development direction and change jobs.

Most of the commoners who have not awakened their professional talents will go to the church to check their professional talents when they are nine to thirteen years old. The church will also assist them in awakening their professional talents. Of course, it is not free. Borrowing, most of the remaining people will spend their entire lives as civilians, learning a craft or simply farming, and a small number of them still have the opportunity to awaken their talents before the age of 30. Once the age of 30 is passed, the human body begins to age. , the probability becomes very small.

After awakening, humans began to be called ordinary professionals or ordinary adventurers. People of this level are the basic strength and public level of the national army and adventurers. In Ryan's eyes, these people are still a bunch of scumbags.

Only a small number of soldiers and adventurers will continue to exercise and advance to the elite. These people are the backbone of human beings, such as the regular knights of the knights, the royal elite swordsmen, those veteran adventurers and veteran mercenaries. is this level.

Going up, it is the legendary rank. At this level, the powerhouse has the strength of the Megatron side. Whether an army is led by a legendary rank powerhouse is completely the world's underground. How many legendary rank does a country have? It can directly explain the level of national strength.

As for going further up... Ryan thought that King Nord was a sanctuary, how could a sanctuary powerhouse appear in such a small town?

At the age of seven or eight, he awakened his talent as a professional. This child's talent must be very good.

"Master Knight, can you teach me how to use a sword?" The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was actually only thirteen years old. He looked at the long sword hanging on the wall, his face full of desire.

"Why do you want to learn swords?"

"Because I want to protect my family! Dad is a hunter. A few days ago, I saw him come home covered in blood but he didn't hunt anything. If I learn the sword, I can go out hunting with my dad!" From the boy's clothes Judging from the fact that the family's family background should be considered good, Ryan became interested, and then asked: "Apart from hunting? Is learning the sword for hunting?"

"That's definitely not the case. My goal is to learn swordsmanship well, and then strive to become a knight's squire. For example, become a knight's squire of the Lord Lord, and follow the Lord to destroy the evil." The boy clenched his fists, and the spark of hatred appeared in his eyes. Like all human beings, the boy's education since childhood is to hate, hate those monsters that kill humans, hate those monsters.

"In the end, I will definitely become a glorious knight like you, Lord Knight, using a hammer and sword to fight on the battlefield!" The boy finished his aspirations, and received the approval of the knights of the kingdom.

The former nobles of the old empire were very stingy and domineering, but after the second Chaos invasion war a hundred and fifty years ago, the old nobles either turned to Chaos, or passively avoided the war, abandoned their own territory, and lost their lives. Running wildly and desperately to the south, only a small number of nobles chose to follow the savior Ludwig to the death.

In the end, the Allied Forces of Order won, so the fate of those nobles who surrendered to Chaos and abandoned their own territory can be imagined. Except for some of them being directly beheaded to the public, their homes were raided, changed, and their titles were deprived. Seventy or eighty percent of the old nobles were at the end of the war. In the great purge that followed, they lost everything about themselves. Those who lost their former glory and status were the people in the entire mainland who looked down on them the most. Both commoners and nobles looked down on them.

Most of the new nobles are military nobles. They have obtained their own territory by virtue of their achievements in wars. Compared with the old nobles, they will be more close to the people and more tolerant, although the degree is limited, but the new laws and systems allow them. These new nobles realize that their income and security can only be guaranteed if the population in the territory increases and becomes more prosperous.

It is not surprising that young people yearn to become knights' squires. In addition to commissions and later boasted capital, an important way for commoners to ascend to the noble class is to become a knight's apprentice.

Knight apprentices will follow the knights to study and take care of their daily life. After a few years, the outstanding knight apprentices will be promoted to knight squires. The squires begin to have a certain status and can follow the knights to the battlefield and make military achievements. Among them, the best The squires of knights have the opportunity to become apprentice knights, fight on horseback and wait for the title of nobles with titles, become full knights, and begin to enter the noble class.

However, at this time, the official knights are still not kingdom knights like Ryan. These knights are generally called ranger knights. The biggest difference between them and the kingdom knights is that they have no fiefs. Any kingdom knight will have at least one small village and a few Mutian is his own fief, but there are also kingdom knights like Ryan who refuse the fief and only receive stipends on a regular basis. The biggest difference between ranger knights and kingdom knights is here. Kingdom knights have a stable income, while ranger knights do not.

If you wait until someone like Ryan is officially canonized by the kingdom as a document and becomes a kingdom knight, then he will completely become a member of the noble class.

No matter how much the general peasant class is promoted, it will be capped at this level. Unless there is a special case, most nobles cannot allow non-aristocratic peasant class to enter the noble pyramid that holds the title.

Out of interest, Ryan also pointed out a few tricks for the child. Seeing that it was getting late, in the middle of winter, there were only six hours of daylight in Nord, so he had to hurry up and get ready to leave.

"Thank you, Lord Knight! Can I ask your name?" Ryan taught the boy a set of the most basic swordsmanship of the Nord Kingdom army - the cross swordsmanship, and then left.

"Lane."

"Lane?"

"Well, my name is Ryan."

"Ah, are you!?"

"Ha ha!"

After returning to the hotel, the hotel had become much busier. Ryan went back to his room to sort out his things, and he was ready to leave.

"Mr. Knight? Hello!" A middle-aged man who was sitting in his seat enjoying lunch saw Ryan coming down from the upstairs and saw the knight's badge on his chest, and took the initiative to chat up.

"Good noon." Ryan realized that this was the businessman from the Empire who was partying with the locals in the hotel last night?

"My name is Oliver, I'm from the Empire, can I be lucky enough to know your name? Mr. Knight?" The businessman stretched out his hand, and Ryan frowned without a trace. He has experienced a lot of communication with businessmen. It has a strong purpose, and businessmen who take the initiative to please must have something to ask for.

"Ryan, my name is Ryan."

The businessman looked to be in his forties, with long hair and a pair of round monocle glasses. He was well-dressed and had many gold and gemstone rings on his hands, but Ryan knew at a glance that he was not very advanced. The thing is, the silver wrench on his left thumb looks out of place, but Ryan can feel the fluctuations of magic from it. If he is not bad, this should be a magic item.

interesting!

Just as he was about to have a full meal and then set off, Ryan also had time to chat with the imperial businessman. From his mouth, he learned that the businessman originally acted with the caravan, because the lord of Wulan Town still owed The final payment was not settled, so he came here specially to collect the payment. Ryan noticed that the businessman's guard equipment was good, with uniform standard scales and standard long swords, and two of them still had crossbows behind them.

The wealth of a businessman can be seen from his guards and his dress. The wild roads in this world are very dangerous, and all kinds of monsters and robbers are wandering in the wild, but if it is a matter of human beings, most nobles and businessmen are Locked up for ransom, not killed.

"Mr. Knight, are you lucky enough to know your name?"

"My name is Ryan."

"Black hair and blue eyes, less than twenty-five years old, when I saw you yesterday, I knew that you were the hero of the Nord Kingdom they called it." Oliver said "I know your little secret", He snickered, with a little sympathy on his face.

"I never thought about hiding my identity." Ryan scooped up a spoonful of broth and complained.

"Mr. Lane doesn't really look like a Nord, like our imperial people~www.wuxiahere.com~ The Aachen blood among our imperial people is black-haired and blue-eyed like Mr. Lane, this blood is in our empire. is the most popular object, but also black-haired Brunswicks like me and brown-haired Mrs. Aldau." The businessman didn't seem to intend to go straight to the point, but chatted pedigree.

"Blonde people with blond hair and blue eyes must be treated well in the empire, while those with red hair, yellow skin and dark skin are not so popular, right?" Ryan chuckled, seeing the businessman Not going to go straight to the point, he didn't say anything, just quickened the pace of eating.

Charlemagne is the blood of Aachen with black hair and blue eyes, and the first twelve Carolingian knights to follow him also include the blood of Brunswick and the blood of Aldolph. These three bloodlines are the most popular in the empire. What a surprise.

Sure enough, Ryan was not in a hurry, Oliver started to be in a hurry.

"Mr. Lane, the wilderness in Wulan Town doesn't seem to be very safe. It is said that people from the Church of Justice are hunting down an evil power, so..." The businessman was obviously asking for something, and after talking a little about the situation, he said Euphemistically, can we go together? He paid for the expenses on the way.

"Sorry, I have an appointment with someone." Ryan shook his head, looking regretful.

"Have an appointment?" The businessman looked disappointed.

"Yes, it's not good to make others wait any longer." Ryan put on the full set of equipment, lifted the warhammer, braved the snowflakes, and walked out of the hotel.

"May the goddess of luck bless your future path, Lord Knight." The innkeeper looked at Ryan's background and said silently.

"There's no way, Fake, Mather, let's go." Oliver, the businessman, sighed, he had stayed in this town long enough, and he had to go.

"Let's go!"
