Dean followed the blue-robed old man to the back of the Knight's Hall. There was a huge statue in the middle of the hall. The statue had a giant sword in its hand. It had thick eyebrows and a majestic look. However, there was a touch of gentle mercy in its eyes.
The blue-robed old man saw the huge statue. He put his hand on his shoulder and performed a standard knight's salute. He came to the table under the statue and took out a roll of paper from the drawer. He turned around and handed it to Dean: "Fill out this test paper first. After filling out the paper, the knight's assessment will officially begin."
Dean nodded slightly. The knights within the giant wall had gone through a long period of development. There was a systematic assessment system which was much more precise and rigorous than the old medieval assessments. It wasn't just a certain amount of people's support and meritorious deeds to obtain the qualifications to be a knight. There were more stringent checks in terms of conduct. This was the main reason why the Knight's Hall had been respected and loved for three hundred years.
If he couldn't pass this test paper then he wouldn't be qualified to take the knight's assessment.
Dean took the test paper and went to the desk. He picked up the pen and began to write.
The blue-robed old man walked to the side and turned the hourglass on the desk.
The sand flowed down. Dean had finished his answer by the time one-third of the sand had flowed down.
There was a trace of surprise in the blue-robed old man's eyes as he saw Dean's proficient speed. He picked up the test paper and looked at it. After a few minutes, he slowly put down the test paper and calmly said: "Almost full marks. Good. You have the spirit of a knight. You also understand the etiquette of a knight. However, to verify whether you can really become a qualified knight, you need to look at the next assessment."
"First of all, the first point of the knight's assessment is that you need to get the love of one thousand poor people, one hundred civilians, ten nobles and the recommendation of two regular knights! Remember, you can't cheat on this point. If we find out that you have bribed with money then you will be disqualified from the assessment for life! "
Dean replied: "I don't dare to blaspheme the matter of honor."
The blue-robed old man's expression softened a little as he nodded, "That's right, it's good that you know. Our Hall of Knights has specifically permitted that as long as you can accumulate enough merit points on the battlefield and pass the first test, you will be exempted from all other procedures and officially become a knight of the Hall of Knights. You will follow the Lord's will and become the Lord's sword!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, you are the Oracle of the Temple of Light, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. I suggest that you go through the normal procedures. The risk is lower."
"I know." Dudian nodded.
"After you pass the first assessment, you will be an apprentice knight of the Knight's Hall. The time limit for the assessment is three months. Remember, you must not do anything against the spirit of chivalry, otherwise your assessment will be suspended immediately!" The blue-robed old man looked at Dudian meaningfully.
"I would never dare to disobey!"
…
…
Temple of Elements. Inside the castle.
Eivissa and eight other masters of different factions came together. They were chatting with each other as they were ready for the next assessment. He had a very clear understanding about the task. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. There was no doubt that he appreciated the talent of the younger generation. Especially the 'lightning rod' which deeply shocked him. Afterwards he thought about the core concept of the 'lightning rod' but found that it was extremely simple. Instead of 'stubborn resistance' and 'offset', it was replaced with 'guidance'.
Just like this, all the buildings in the entire wall are free from the trouble of lightning strikes.
However, when it came to personality, he didn't like Dean very much. With his many years of experience, he could see at first glance that this boy was different from ordinary people. There were too many things in his eyes, ambition, arrogance, and many things that made him feel uncomfortable and even afraid. Intuition told him that he should stay away from this person.
Although many people in the Temple didn't believe that the extraordinary youth would collude with the barbarians, but he felt that it wasn't necessarily the military taking the opportunity to attack him. Perhaps it was true.
This time he was invited to identify Dean's new invention. He naturally knew what it meant. If it was just an ordinary item then there was no doubt that it would confirm the opinions of the military and the speculations of the civilian press. If it was a higher level item then there was a possibility of clearing Dean's name. But he didn't have much hope from the newspapers in the past few days.
"It's the first time that I've seen an invention that requires nine masters to identify. Humph! Don't try to please the public!" An old man with short brown hair said in an impatient tone.
"Peter, that's because you don't have enough knowledge. Nothing is impossible. Magic is developing and improving. You're just holding on to old ideas." Another white-haired old man said indifferently. On his chest was the badge of a wood element master.
The old man with short brown hair sneered: "I heard that the wood genius had created a 'lightning' invention. Maybe one day he will leave the wood faction and go to Eivissa's lightning faction. Moreover he is exaggerating. I'm afraid that your wood faction won't be able to swallow such an ambitious person!"
The white-haired old man said indifferently: "This can only mean that the wood element is the king of the nine elements. It is also the closest to the mysteries of the universe. Our wood element god envoys can easily reach the level of four stars by studying other types of magic in their spare time. This kind of thing has never been achieved by your wind element magic."
Eivissa frowned but didn't say anything.
The old man with short brown hair looked gloomy. He glared at the old man with white hair and turned away.
At this time, a door inlaid with a strange pattern frame was pushed open. A middle-aged man wearing the robe of a senior architect came out and said respectfully: "Masters, the divine incantation is ready. May I ask who will go first?"
"Me." The old man with short brown hair said: "Hurry up and go back. Don't waste my time!"
The old man with white hair indifferently said: "I'll go too."
The old man with white hair indifferently said: "I'll go too." He followed the old man.
"This is architect Dean's blueprint." The previous senior architect smiled: "I ask the three masters to identify it."
The brown-haired old man snorted and took the lead to step on the scroll of paper that was fixed on the table. Suddenly, he saw the fine design on the snow-white paper. His narrow eyes suddenly widened a bit. He looked left and right and was suddenly attracted by a pattern. He carefully looked at it, and at the same time, he read the small annotations next to it. The more he looked, the more fascinated he became. He muttered to himself.
The old man with white hair and the old man with white hair looked at each other. They were curious as they also looked closer.
A design with straight lines and fine lines appeared before the two of them. The two of them were somewhat shocked. This was the first time they had seen such a complicated design. They immediately focused their eyes on it.
"Water … Burning … Heat …"
"Steam? Kinetic energy? "
The old man with white hair and the old man with white hair muttered to themselves. Their faces were getting more and more surprised. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.
"Steam from burning water, producing kinetic energy under high pressure …" The old man muttered to himself as if he was possessed. After a long time, he suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim in shock: "What, what kind of magic is this? It's not water, wood, or fire. However, the combination of materials and usage of the divine incantation actually includes water, fire, and high-pressure wind. I've never seen such a divine incantation that uses' steam 'as the base! "
The white-haired old man said in a daze, "According to what is written here, this divine art can hardly be called a 'divine art', but a vast new world!"
The old man with white hair was shocked as he heard the old man's words: "I know! This, this is the future world of magic that we saw in the new textile machine divine spell! This invention can be used in all fields if it is fully used! This is not a formalized divine spell, but a brand new kinetic energy, the most basic kinetic energy of every faction!! "
The old man with white hair and the old man with brown hair retracted their eyes as they heard his trembling voice. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. As masters of the invention, they deeply understood what it meant to have a new kinetic energy!
It was an existence that could create a faction!!!
Eivissa and the other five masters were sitting on chairs in the hall. They were drinking tea and chatting. An hour passed as the door opened again. Eivissa looked inside and was surprised to find that the faces of the three people who had entered were full of emotion.
"Is it a good novel invention?" Eivissa's heart was moved.
"Peter, what do you think of this invention?" Another old man looked at the old man with brown hair and asked.
The old man with brown hair looked at him and sighed. He shook his head slightly: "You can see it yourself. In short, I am convinced!"
Everyone present including Eivissa was surprised as they heard the words.
How could a master of magic be impressed by it?
