Chapter 489 "President of the Knight's Association"
In fact, this "Alex Del Valori Delon" Knight did have a great reputation in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial Capital. Moreover, in terms of familiarity, the number of people who knew him was definitely many times more than the Magician's Guild's President Doug Jago!
This President of the Continental Knight's Association, Delon Knight, had a lot of interesting nicknames in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial Capital.
For example, "Deceiver Delon": This poor President of the Knight's Association often appeared in various aristocratic gatherings and banquets. Then he would tirelessly promote his Knight's Association and set up a variety of interesting names to collect donations for the Continental Knight's Association. Although the Continental Knight's Association had completely declined into an empty shell, there were still many rich aristocrats who were willing to show their generosity in this kind of thing. After all, the name "Continental Knight's Association" still had some appeal.
Unfortunately, this Delon Knight would often disappear for a period of time after collecting some money. At the same time, there were some unfavorable scandals about him filling his own pockets. For example, he had a secret house on a certain street in the Imperial Capital and some women who relied on him to support them.
Another example was this Delon Knight, who had a famous nickname, "Playboy Knight". It could be said that Mr. Delon had a beautiful face given by God. This face, when he was young, guaranteed that he would seduce various aristocratic girls. After all, when a young girl was in love, there would always be some romantic heroic colors. At this time, a handsome and elegant Knight could often move the hearts of those young girls.
Unfortunately, this Delon Knight was really an irresponsible playboy. He had caused a lot of trouble because of this. Fortunately, he was gradually getting older now. With this old white face, he could no longer deceive ignorant girls.
As for Delon Knight's third interesting nickname, "The Most Ridiculous Level 9 Knight".
That's right, as the President of the Continental Knight's Association, Delon Knight's rank was level 9! Although he had not reached the Saint Rank, the strength of level 9 could definitely be regarded as one of the top powerhouses in the Imperial Capital! It must be known that when Hussain was known as the number one Knight of the Imperial Capital, he was only level 9.
Unfortunately, Mr. Delon's "level 9" was not an assessment, but … hereditary!
That's right! You didn't read it wrong, it was "hereditary"!
Knight's level could be hereditary?
If it was someone else, of course, it was impossible. However, in the Knight Association, there was an ironclad rule that had been upheld since a thousand years ago. Anyone who became the president of the Continental Knight Association would automatically be promoted to rank 9!
As for our Mr. Delon's real strength, only God knows. Anyway, no one had ever seen him make a move. The only evidence that could be used as evidence was that a few years ago, this handsome President of the Imperial Capital's Association was jealous of someone in a certain brothel. As a result, there was some small-scale friction between the two sides. It was said that this "level 9 Knight" did not go out for a month after the incident. Some people suspected that he went home to recuperate.
Delon Knight's fourth ridiculous nickname was "Merchant Knight".
It could be said that it was unprecedented for a Knight to be associated with a merchant. But our Delon Knight had perfectly linked these two things together. As everyone knew, among the two major professions on the Imperial Capital, Magician was naturally the most popular. Unfortunately, most people did not have that fate. At this time, many of the rich and noble sons in the imperial capital would use some glorious titles as signboards in order to show off on special occasions. For example, when they seduced a noble lady, when they showed off their abilities in front of their family elders, or when they showed off to their friends at gatherings …
What? You're just a playboy and don't have any special abilities? It doesn't matter! Go find Mr. Delon! As long as you are willing to donate a sum of gold coins to the Imperial Capital's Association, then he will generously give you a "Knight title". For example, if you donate 1,000 gold coins, you can be evaluated as a "level 4 Knight". 8,000 gold coins can buy a "level 6". 20,000 gold coins … Congratulations, you have stepped into the top level of the Imperial Capital. You can get a "level 8 Knight" badge! And it's a "genuine" badge! It's a legitimate Knight title granted by the Imperial Capital's Knight's Association! It's absolutely recognized anywhere! This wasn't some shoddy fake! All your certifications are official documents issued by the Imperial Capital's Knight's Association. The badge is also genuine!
As a result, because of the existence of the President, Delon Knight, many strange "Knights" have appeared in the noble children's circle in the Imperial Capital over the years!
You'll see the youngest son of a certain Count who is already a level 6 Knight at the age of 18. Or you'll see the son of a certain Marquis who is already a level 8 expert when he just reached adulthood! And these ridiculous titles have brought a lot of expenses for our Delon Knight.
As for the hereditary title of "Guardian of the Imperial Capital", it's an old signboard left behind by His Majesty Aragon a thousand years ago.
And that "Roland's Sword Knight Regiment" is a big joke. Even if you laugh, you have to admit that this Roland's Sword Knight Regiment has a long history. It can be said that this Roland's Sword Knight Regiment is the only ancient Knight Regiment on the continent comparable to the Holy Order of the Church of Light!
Because this Roland's Sword Knight Regiment has existed since the unification war before the Roland Empire was founded! Moreover, it was said that during the founding war, this group of knights was indeed full of talented people, and they even made outstanding contributions!
There are only two Knight Regiments on the continent that have a history of a thousand years: the Holy Order and this "Roland's Sword".
Unfortunately, because of the decline of the Knight Association, this "Roland's Sword" has almost ceased to exist in name.
Since hundreds of years ago, "Roland's Sword" has only a signboard left. So far, the only member of this generation's "Roland's Sword Knight Regiment" is Delon Knight!
Yes, that's right, the President of the Continental Knight Association, His Excellency Delon, a level 9 Knight. He is the leader and member of the "Roland's Sword Knight Regiment". He is a commander without an army.
Of course, apart from this series of disgraceful nicknames, Delon Knight actually has some connections in the noble circle of the Imperial Capital. For example, many nobles are willing to make fun of this clown after drinking.
For example … Betting.
There are all kinds of bets on this Delon Knight: Some people bet on the real strength of Delon Knight, betting on what level his real strength is! According to the calculation of the gambling money accumulated over the years, the bet that he is only an Intermediate Knight is about 30,000 gold coins, and the bet that he is only a Junior Knight is about 90,000 gold coins. And nearly 300,000 gold coins bet that this Delon Knight is a fake: he probably doesn't even know how to use a sword!
What's even more ridiculous is that Delon himself doesn't seem to care about this kind of gambling that damages his reputation. He even spent thousands of gold coins to bet that he doesn't have the strength of a level 9 expert …
Moreover, many noble banquets are willing to invite such a "President of the Continental Knight Association" to attend. In the eyes of the nobles, Delon Knight is a wonderful person. He will make a lot of jokes and have a lot of interesting topics. Watching him make a fool of himself and lose face is a very interesting and enjoyable thing.
That's right, the President of the Continental Knight Association is such a clown in the eyes of everyone!
But by the way, although the Continental Knight Association has been declining for hundreds of years, in the past year, Delon Knight's social status has finally improved a little.
He really had to thank this wise Prince Regent for all of this!
For hundreds of years, the decline of the Knight Association was actually caused by a series of factors such as the political stability of the continent, social stability, and so on.
All people who learn martial arts are often for a goal. In Du Wei's previous life, it is: learn martial arts and sell it to the royal family!
To a large extent, learning martial arts is to stand out!
Unfortunately, the continent has been peaceful for hundreds of years. There is no large-scale war. Even if you learn martial arts, there is no place for you to use it!
Enlist in the army? Without the opportunity to fight, you may be in the army for more than ten years and at most become a low-level officer!
Moreover, in addition to official channels, become a mercenary or smuggler?
Sorry, in the previous Roland Empire's laws, mercenary organizations are illegal organizations and will be punished by the Empire's laws!
As a result, it caused the spirit of martial arts to gradually decline. Two years ago, when Du Wei strolled around the Imperial Capital's slave market, so many low-level warriors had to sell their bodies in order to eat. Even if you train to the level of an intermediate Knight, you can only be a bodyguard for the nobles. Stand out, don't even think about it!
The social status of the martial artists has sharply declined, and the Knight Association naturally declined as well.
Thanks to the wise Prince Son, two years ago, he announced the "legalization of mercenary groups" law, allowing the martial artists on the mainland to finally have a way to survive! Over the past year or so, the Knight Association on the continent had finally become a little busy. More and more warriors who had failed to achieve their goals ran to the Knight Association to apply for the knight rank assessment. Then, they could go to some mercenary organizations to sign up and make a living from then on.
Therefore, in many cocktail parties, Delon Knight will raise his glass and shout slogans like "Long live the Regent".
"I love the Regent! There is no doubt about it! If I were a woman, I would really want to marry him, hahahaha … … "After getting drunk, the president of the Continental Knight Association said these very degrading words. Later, he became a public joke in the noble circle of the Imperial Capital.
•
Right now, in front of more than a dozen core nobles who held the military and political power of this massive empire, the president of the Continental Knight Association was dressed in his grandest outfit and armor. The red cloak behind him was clearly freshly washed as well.
Kneeling on one knee in front of Prince Son, this guy performed a very traditional and standard etiquette of a knight pledging allegiance to the monarch. One has to admit, Knight Dylon's etiquette is very good, there's not a single flaw to be found.
"Get up, my 'Knight of the Empire'." The Regent's tone couldn't help but become a bit frivolous. In fact, Prince Son is well aware of all of Delon Knight's interesting deeds. But then he realized his attitude wasn't serious enough. Coughing to clear his throat, he tried to make himself look as majestic as possible: "Delon Knight, I think today should be a day for you to be excited. Because in order to revive the Empire's martial spirit and restore the glory of the Knight, I have decided to rebuild the Continental Knight Association!! As the Regent of this country, I can't just stand by and watch the root of our country, the spirit of martial arts, die! He couldn't just watch as the Continental Knight Association, an ancient guild with a history of over a thousand years, declined! So … … I have decided to rebuild it! "
With that, he looked at the excited expression on Delon Knight's face (God knows if he's faking it or not).
Once again, the Regent clapped his hands.
Then, from the side door of the main hall, two burly golden-armored palace warriors strode out, carrying a strangely shaped spear on their backs!
When everyone saw the long spear, they immediately put away their smiles.
Because this is … …
The Spear of the Knight! The Spear of Bulnus!!
