Chapter 3 Abyss Knight
The knight leader did not pay much attention to the fact that Chen Gou awakened the power of the law. Although there were not many people who awakened from the common people every year, they were not rare enough to attract his attention.
Unless they are those with top-level innate skills, but this possibility is too small.
In comparison, he was particularly impressed by Chen Gou's insight, judgment and risk-taking ability at critical moments.
Under the circumstances at that time, at most one out of ten civilians could handle it calmly and survive in the end.
There are even fewer who can escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, the knight leader said to Chen Gou: "You killed a new type of evil demon alone to avoid the expansion of the invasion. According to the regulations of the Holy See, it can be counted as a third-class merit. As a reward, I will give you two choices now.
The first is a silver-grade skill crystal; the second is the opportunity to participate in the abyss assessment and directly join the Abyss Knights after passing it."
"I choose the second option!" Chen Gou replied without any hesitation: "I want to become the Knight of the Abyss."
"It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but you have to know that the abyss assessment is very cruel. The average survival rate is only about half."
The knight with a recurve bow on his back, who was reminded by Chen Gou, had a look of interest in his eyes.
Chen Gou replied firmly: "I would rather risk my life for a chance to turn around than be a salted fish for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, the knight leader said: "In this case, you go and say goodbye to your family, and then come with us."
"I have no family."
Chen Gou shook his head directly. There were many orphans in this dangerous world, and young Chen Gou was just one of them. He was careless and alone, with nothing but a dilapidated house behind him.
The knight leader nodded lightly and said nothing more.
Turning his hand, an ice crystal emitting cold air appeared out of thin air in his palm. He put it on the ground and turned it into an ice coffin in front of everyone, and took in the body of the returned corpse "housewife"!
Afterwards, the ice coffin shrank again and turned into an ice crystal, returning to the hands of the knight leader and disappearing.
Finally, a ball of golden-red flames burst out from the tip of the tall and thin knight's spear, burning the remaining blood worms and slime on the ground to ashes.
Chen Gou was dazzled by the sight. This world seemed to be more wonderful than he imagined.
"Gone."
The knight carrying the recurve bow got on his horse and stretched out a palm towards Chen Gou.
Chen Gou stretched out his hand to hold it, and felt a strong force coming from him, pulling him up into the air and onto the horse's back, and sat in front of the knight.
With a strong wind blowing in their faces, the four steel knights galloped along the wide street.
The most basic unit of the Knights of the Abyss is a team of five people, each with its own name.
The one running down the street is called Fa Yuan.
There are also five members, but one member did not come because he had other commitments.
The members of the Fayuan team are all comrades who can trust each other with their lives. They are almost inseparable in battle and life.
Only in this way can we cultivate a tacit understanding of perfect cooperation.
The team's residence in the city is an independent courtyard covering an area of nearly 500 square meters. It has a garden, bedroom, study room, weapons room and training ground.
Moreover, there were many servants, and Chen Gou saw more than a dozen on the way from the gate to the guest room.
Whether it was the wise old housekeeper or the young and beautiful maid, they all bowed respectfully and greeted each other.
"Lord Han Feng, does every Abyss Knight receive such treatment?" Chen Gou was amazed and asked with envy in his tone.
On the way here, Chen Gou learned the names of the four knights through questioning.
"Of course not. The Abyss Knights team is also divided into five levels: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond. Each level has different treatment. Our Fayuan has just been promoted to the gold level team, so we have this kind of treatment."
Han Feng, who had taken off his long bow, helmet and visor, was a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.
In this world, strength is equal to wealth, power, status and everything else.
"In the next ten days, you will receive the most basic combat skills training here. After that, you will take the abyss assessment." Han Feng sent Chen Gou to the guest room and left with this sentence.
Later, Chen Gou learned that the assessment of the Knights of the Abyss was extremely strict and usually required the recommendation of an official knight team to be eligible to participate.
And once passed, he will become a reserve member of the team. Once someone in the knight team quits or dies in battle, he will take his place.
Therefore, the Cavaliers leader Edward Park gave Chen Gou the opportunity to evaluate, which is equivalent to recognizing his potential to become his teammate.
Ten days is not a long time. For Chen Gou, who is about to take the assessment, it can be said that every day is extremely precious.
There was no intention of letting him have a good rest at three o'clock in the morning the next day.
Chen Gou, who had just experienced a major change and was exhausted, was sleeping soundly when a dark shadow quietly entered the room and poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Gou woke up from his sleep. First he was furious, then he realized his current situation and immediately retreated.
"How dare you speak to the Lord Knight in this tone?" the man in black on the other side shouted coldly.
Chen Gou couldn't help but be surprised, this turned out to be a woman's voice!
"Training starts from the moment you step into the courtyard. If you want to become an abyss knight, from today on you will never be able to sleep like you did just now. If you were in the abyss world, you would have died more than ten times!"
After hearing this, Chen Gou suddenly woke up and realized that the person in front of him was the last member of Team Fa Yuan, and that he had come specifically to teach him this lesson, so he quickly admitted his mistake and apologized.
He has always been brave enough to admit mistakes that are well-documented, and will never cover them up.
"Report to me your attributes and talent and skill data." said the female knight whose figure was hidden in the darkness.
Chen Gou did as he was told, except that he hid the information that the battle guardian who actually summoned the skill could learn the skill.
As the saying goes, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Before he could figure out the character and code of conduct of the members of Team Fa Yuan, he had to have some reservations.
"The intelligence is nine points!"
The female knight didn't pay too much attention to the innate skills, because although the innate skills were unique, they hid the real summons that the guardian statue could learn skill information, so it could only be evaluated as mediocre.
She was surprised that Chen Gou's intelligence attributes were higher than expected.
You must know that the three basic attribute powers are related to physical attack and physical recovery;
Agility determines movement, reaction and attack speed;
Intelligence is closely related to mana, spirit and will.
The average of the three attributes of the awakened person who has just completed their awakening is 5, including strength, agility, and intelligence.
Chen Gou's nine-point intelligence is almost twice the average, which is naturally very rare.
Chen Gou didn't know this, but he also felt from the other party's tone that his intelligence attributes should be good among awakened people of the same level.
However, the female knight did not explain and led him directly out to the yard.
It was a cold night, and under the moonlight I saw a man kneeling in the middle of the yard with his hands tied behind his back. His hair was messy, and his mouth was blocked by a rag, unable to speak.
"Go kill him."
The female knight drew out a long sword with a cold light and handed it to Chen Gou.
"Killing is the first hurdle to pass to become a knight. Without blood on your hands, your heart will not become strong, as strong as iron stone!"
Chen Gou took the sword from her hand and felt the man's pleading eyes. He couldn't help but hesitate and said: "I have killed someone, just yesterday..."
The female knight replied coldly: "You only killed a demon, so you could feel at ease at that time, but now you want to kill people, your own kind, so you hesitated, right?"
Chen Gou was silent, speechless, because what the other party told was the truth.
In essence, he is still the Chen Gou from Earth who grew up in the 21st century. It is okay to kill a monster in a critical moment, but it is still difficult for him to accept killing a human with his own hands.
"Can I know what capital crime he committed?" Chen Gou asked in a deep voice, looking at the man struggling and begging desperately.
"Enemies of the Abyss Knight...is this reason enough?" the female knight looked at him and said meaningfully.
After hearing this, Chen Gou still hesitated and couldn't make a move.
"It seems that the captain has made a mistake. You are not suitable to be an abyss knight. Go back to where you came from tomorrow."
The female knight shook her head, not concealing her disappointment.
Members of the Knights of the Abyss are not required to be strong men who can defeat ten, but each of them must be a warrior who absolutely executes orders and has a heart as solid as stone!
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "puff" sound, and the cold sword pierced his heart, blood splattered, and the man kneeling on the ground widened his eyes and fell forward feebly.
"I'm not weak, I just need time to adapt."
"I want to become the Knight of the Abyss, I must!"
Chen Gou held the long sword tremblingly with his right hand, and firmly wiped the blood from his face with his left hand. In the dark night, it looked like a ghost that had just mutated.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
"System prompt: The host kills a green spirit beast jackal with an awakening level of lv5, and obtains 100 awakening points. The awakening level is promoted to lv2, and a law source light is obtained."
As the system sounded, the man's body on the ground began to change. His mouth and nose became pointed and long, and spotted hair grew on his body.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a human to a giant jackal.
"As you can see, he is not a human being, but a kind of evil demon called Green Beast. They have both human and animal forms. They are cruel by nature. They often blend into humans to launch sneak attacks, causing huge casualties to the Vatican soldiers."
The female knight nodded with satisfaction to Chen Gou, and then continued: "So although they are not the strongest among the demons, they are good at disguise and are difficult for ordinary abyss knights to detect. They are a very harmful kind, especially for...
You new recruits are often recruited."
"Half a month ago, in this same courtyard, a girl with good talent was deceived and killed by a Grimm because she was soft-hearted. Her heart was dug out and eaten."
Chen Gou took a deep breath and realized that everything tonight was just to make him realize that for the Knight of the Abyss, there is no pure land and he must remain vigilant at all times.
"After killing this evil demon, you should have reached two levels. A source of law can sublimate your physique and increase one of the three basic attributes by two points. I suggest you choose intelligence, because after breaking through ten points, you will
Get baptized by the power of law and gain additional attribute sublimation."
