Chapter 489 [President of the Knights Association]
Chapter 489 [President of the Knights Association]
In fact, the knight "Alex Delvajo Ridron" does have a great reputation in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, and if we want to talk about the degree of familiarity, the people who know him are definitely better than the people who know him.
Yago Doug, the president of the Magic Guild, is many times more valuable!
The president of the Continental Knights Association, His Excellency Knight Delon, has many interesting nicknames in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.
For example, "Liar Delong": This poor knight association president often appears at various noble gatherings and banquets, and then he will take the trouble to promote his knight association and create various interesting names to the mainland.
The Knights Association raises funds. Although the Continental Knights Association has completely declined and become an empty shelf that does not deserve the name, there are still many wealthy nobles who are willing to show their generosity in this kind of matter. After all, the "Continental Knights Association" brand is still somewhat
Appealing.
It is a pity that this Knight of Delon often disappears for a period of time after raising some money. At the same time, there are also some unfavorable scandals about him enriching himself, such as his secret house on a certain street in the imperial capital, and
News about some women who depend on him for support.
For another example, Mr. Knight Delong also has a famous nickname called "Fancy Knight". It can be said that Mr. Delong has a beautiful face given by God. This face, when he was young, was guaranteed
He is a capital to seduce various noble girls, and after all, girls always have some romantic and heroic colors when they are pregnant, and at this time, a handsome and elegant knight can often impress those who are young and innocent.
A girl's heart.
It's a pity that this Delon Knight is really an irresponsible playboy, and he has gotten into a lot of trouble because of it. Fortunately, he is getting older now, and he can't be deceived by this old white face.
What an ignorant girl.
As for the third interesting nickname of the Delon Knight, it is "The Most Ridiculous Ninth Level Knight".
That's right, Knight Delon is the president of the Continental Knights Association, and his knight level is level nine! Although he has not reached the holy level, his level 9 strength can definitely be regarded as one of the top strong men in the mainland!
You know, when Hussein was called the first knight in the mainland, he was only at level nine.
It's a pity that Mr. Delong's "ninth level" level is not obtained through assessment, but... hereditary!
That’s right! You read that right, it’s “hereditary”!!
Can knighthood also be hereditary?
Of course it would be impossible if it were someone else. But in the Knights Association, there was an iron law that existed thousands of years ago and has always been stipulated: Anyone who serves as the president of the Continental Knights Association will automatically be promoted to level nine!
As for the real strength of our Mr. Delong... God knows. Anyway, no one has ever seen him take action. The only thing that can be used as evidence is that a few years ago, in a certain romantic place, this handsome knight association meeting
He had always been jealous of others, resulting in some minor frictions between the two parties. It is said that this "ninth-level knight" did not go out for a month after the incident. Some people suspected that he went home to recuperate from his injuries.
The fourth ridiculous nickname of the Dron Knights is the "Merchant Knight".
It can be said that it is an unprecedented thing for knights and merchants to be linked together. But our Dron Knight has perfectly linked these two things: as we all know, the two major professions on the mainland are magicians.
Naturally, they are the most popular, but it is a pity that most people do not have that fate. At this time, there are many children of wealthy nobles in the imperial capital, those dandy children. In order to fill up the facade in daily life, they get some glorious titles to use as signs.
Being able to stand out in all special occasions: such as when seducing a noble lady from a certain family, such as showing off one's abilities in front of family elders, or showing off at gatherings among friends...
What? Are you just a playboy with no special abilities? It doesn't matter! Go find Mr. Delong! As long as you are willing to donate a gold coin to the Knights Association, he will generously give you a "knight title", for example.
Donate one thousand gold coins. You can be rated a "Level 4 Knight". Eight thousand gold coins can buy you a "Level 6". Twenty thousand gold coins... Congratulations, you have entered the top level of the continent. You
You can get an "eighth-level knight" badge! And it is "genuine"! It is the legal knight level officially awarded to you by the Continental Knights Association! It is absolutely recognized everywhere! This is not a fake and shoddy fake! All your certifications
They are all certified by official documents issued by the Continental Knights Association, and the badges are genuine!
As a result, because of the existence of Knight Delon as the president, many weird "knights" have appeared in the circle of aristocratic children in the imperial capital over the years!
You will see that the youngest son of a certain earl is already a sixth-level knight at the age of eighteen. Or you can see that the son of a certain marquis is already an "eighth-level strongman" when he has just reached adulthood! And these ridiculous titles are
Our Delon Knight brings a lot of expenses.
As for the hereditary title of "Guardian of the Country", it is already an old sign left by His Majesty Aragon when he founded the country a thousand years ago.
And the "Knights of the Sword of Roland" is a big joke: although you will laugh, you have to admit that this Knights of the Sword of Roland, in terms of its long history, can be said to be the only one on the mainland.
An ancient knighthood comparable to the Holy Knights of the Church of Light!
Because the Knights of the Sword of Roland have existed since the Unification War before the founding of the Roland Empire! And it is said that during the founding war, the Knights were indeed full of talents and made great contributions!
There are currently only two knights on the mainland with a history of a thousand years: the Holy Knights and the "Sword of Roland".
Unfortunately, due to the decline of the Knights Association, the Sword of Roland has almost ceased to exist in name only.
Since hundreds of years ago, the "Sword of Roland" has only had one sign. As of now, the only member of this generation of the Knights of the Sword of Roland is Knight Delon!
Yes, that's right. The president of our Continental Knights Association, the ninth-level knight Your Excellency Delong, is the leader and member of the "Knights of the Sword of Roland" and all other positions. He is a polished commander.
Of course, apart from this series of disgraceful nicknames, Knight Delon actually has some connections in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. For example, many nobles are willing to treat this clown like a clown after drinking.
Characters come to have fun.
For example...a bet.
There are all kinds of bets on this Delon Knight: Some people bet on the real strength of Delon Knight, and bet on what level his real strength is! Based on the accumulated bets over the years, bet that he only has the strength of an intermediate knight.
There are about more than 30,000 gold coins. The bet that he only has the strength of a low-level knight is about 90,000 gold coins. The bet of nearly 300,000 gold coins is that the Delon Knight is simply a fake: he
Most of them can’t even use a sword!
What's even more ridiculous is that Delong himself seems to care very little about this kind of gambling that damages his reputation. He even spent thousands of gold coins to bet that he didn't have the strength of level nine...
Moreover, many nobles are willing to invite such a "President of the Continental Knights Association" to attend their banquets. In the eyes of the nobles, Knight Delon is a wonderful person who will make many jokes and interesting topics.
, watching him make a fool of himself. Watching him embarrass himself is a very interesting and enjoyable thing.
That's right, the president of the Continental Knights Association is now such a clown in the eyes of everyone!
However, it should be mentioned by the way: Although the Continental Knights Association has been in decline for hundreds of years, in the past year or so, the social status of the Delon Knights has finally improved somewhat.
For all this, I really need to thank this wise regent!
Over the past hundreds of years, the decline of the Knights Association was actually caused by a series of factors such as the political stability and social stability of the mainland.
All people who learn martial arts usually have one goal. To use a sentence from Du Wei's previous life, it is: learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!
Learning martial arts is largely about getting ahead!
It's a pity that the mainland has been at peace for hundreds of years, and there have been no large-scale wars. Even if you have learned superb martial arts, there is no place to show it!
Do you want to join the army? There is no chance of fighting. You may spend more than ten years in the army. At most, you will end up as a low-level officer!
Moreover, in addition to official channels, become a mercenary or smuggle?
Sorry, according to the previous laws of the Roland Empire, mercenary organizations were illegal organizations and were groups that were subject to imperial laws!
As a result, the spirit of martial arts gradually declined. Did you know that Du Wei visited the slave market in the imperial capital two years ago? Do so many low-level warriors even have to sell themselves for a meal? Even if they have developed the ability of an intermediate knight,
They are just serving as bodyguards for the nobles. Don’t even think about getting ahead!
The social status of warriors dropped sharply, and the Knights Association naturally declined.
And thanks to the wise Prince Chen, after he announced the law "legalizing mercenary group organizations" two years ago, the warriors on the mainland finally have a way to survive! Over the past year, the Knights Association on the mainland finally has
Things are getting a bit busy now. More and more frustrated warriors are going to the Knights Association to apply for knight level assessment. Then they can go to some mercenary organizations to sign up and make a living from then on.
Therefore, in many drinking parties, Knight Delon would hold up his wine glass and shout slogans such as "Long live the Prince Regent".
"I love the Prince Regent! There is no doubt about it! If I were a woman, I really want to marry him, hahahaha..." After being drunk one time, the president of the Continental Knights Association said this very demeaning thing.
The drunken talk later became an open joke among the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital.
Now, in front of a dozen core dignitaries who hold the military and political power of this huge empire, the president of the Continental Knights Association is wearing his most solemn outfit and armor today. The red cloak behind him has obviously been freshly washed.
Passed.
This guy knelt on one knee in front of Prince Chen and performed an extremely traditional standard. The etiquette of a knight being loyal to a monarch has to be admitted. The etiquette of Knight Delong is still very good, and there is no fault at all.
"Get up, my 'Guardian of the Country.'" The regent's tone couldn't help but be a little frivolous. In fact, Prince Chen was very aware of the various interesting deeds of Knight Delon, but then he realized his attitude.
Not serious enough, he coughed, cleared his throat, and tried to look as majestic as possible: "Knight Delon, I think today should be an exciting day for you, because in order to revive the empire's martial spirit and restore its glory,
With the soul of chivalry, I decided to rebuild the Continental Knights Association!! As the regent of this country, I cannot just watch the martial arts that are the foundation of our country die! Let alone watch the Continental Knights Association, this
The ancient guild with a history of thousands of years has declined! So... I decided to rebuild it!"
As he said that, he looked at the excited expression on Knight Delon's face (God knows if he was pretending).
The Prince Regent clapped his hands again.
Then, from the side door of the main hall, two handsome palace warriors in golden armor strode out, carrying a strange-shaped spear on their bodies!
When everyone saw the spear, they immediately stopped smiling.
Because, this is...
The spear of the knight! The spear of the bulge Nus!!
