Chapter 350: The Simulation of All Realms Begins from Pirates: The Test of Joining the Knights!
"You didn't say that your so-called cup of black tea costs three gold dragon coins. And it seems that I only said that I would treat you to drink black tea, not something to eat, right?"
Seeing Priscilla with her proud figure in front of her, taking a sip from a black tea cup, and an incredibly exquisite cake on the table, Wood couldn't help but feel a toothache.
In the small town where he met Emilia before, Wood knew the price level of this world.
To put it bluntly, the currency units circulating among civilians and merchants are mostly copper dragon coins, and only in a few cases silver dragon coins are needed.
The most valuable gold dragon coins are generally rarely circulated in the market. Even the poorer nobles probably only have a few dozen gold dragon coins in their family.
But at this moment, the woman in front of Wood actually took Wood to a very luxuriously decorated store, and ordered a cup of black tea, which cost three gold dragon coins.
And the piece of fruit cake on the table, which was not even enough for Wood to eat in one bite, was sold for two gold dragon coins!
In other words, the afternoon tea that Wood invited Priscilla to enjoy cost five gold dragon coins!
If you just say this, many people may not have any idea, but if you use currency ratio to exchange, five gold dragon coins are equivalent to 50,000 bronze dragon coins, which is enough for an ordinary family to live in a border town for ten years!
"What's so strange about this? This is the royal capital of the Dragon Kingdom, and almost all the nobles of the kingdom live here.
And this shop is the best pastry shop in the capital, isn’t the price quite reasonable?”
"Can it be said that as a gentleman who flirts with ladies, he is so embarrassed that he doesn't even have money to treat guests to dinner?
Otherwise, it's okay to let me pay the bill, but the money you owe me..."
Before Priscilla could finish her words, Wood stretched out his hand and interrupted: "No, although I am not a rich noble, I can still afford five golden dragons."
Wood was very fortunate that when he killed "Mother" before, he plundered the opponent's small treasury, which contained dozens of golden dragons.
Moreover, he promised Priscilla to have afternoon tea instead of dinner. Otherwise, with Priscilla’s consumption level, he would really have to stay and wash the dishes...
Priscilla was also slightly surprised when she heard that Wood could actually take out five golden dragon coins.
In fact, although Priscilla's daily life is a bit extravagant, it is far from this level. The reason why she chose this place is to make things difficult for Wood, and then let him work beside her to pay off the debt.
But what she didn't expect was that Wood was actually richer than she thought.
"Thank you for your patronage. You have spent a total of five gold dragons and three silver dragons. Please follow me here to pay."
Looking at the bill handed over by the waitress with a smile on her face, Wood was dumbfounded. He pointed at the boiled water on the bill and said, "You must be a black shop here! Even if you charge for boiled water, you still need three silver dragons!"
Faced with Wood's questioning, the waitress still maintained a friendly professional smile and patiently explained: "Sir, our water is not ordinary water, but made of snow from the thousands-foot-high icebergs.
Because of the large shipping costs and labor costs, the price of three silver dragons is very reasonable."
Although Wood had the idea of destroying the store on the spot, in the end, he paid the fee obediently with the smile on her face by the waitress, and cursed in his heart, what a life of an aristocrat...
!
"Actually, you don't have to force yourself at all. If you are willing to come to my side, I can give you a reward of twenty gold dragons a month.
Although the Knights of the Guards are good, their monthly reward is only five gold dragons.
Moreover, I am currently the head of the Vallier family, one of the five candidates for the throne, and I am still single..."
As Priscilla spoke, she opened the red folding fan in her hand and straightened her body to show Wood her extremely proud curves.
"Stop it, stop it, you are the famous Red Bride", I have no idea of dying young yet.
Now that we have had afternoon tea, and I have fulfilled your promise, will Mrs. Balière also fulfill her promise?"
Priscilla has always been unblinking about her nickname of "The Bloody Bride", but for some reason, when she heard Wood say this, her expression was still extremely unhappy.
The reason why Priscilla is so persistent with Wood is that apart from Priscilla's strong interest in Wood, the other part is that Priscilla trusts her own intuition.
Or to be more precise, Priscilla believed that her protection could always bring her good luck.
Priscilla's real name was Priscilla Benedict, and she was one of the many princes and daughters of the Holy Flakia Empire.
When he was a teenager, he participated in the empire's "Emperor Selection Ceremony", but was defeated after being framed by his half-brother, the current emperor Vincent.
After being defeated, the biggest reason why Priscilla was able to escape the pursuit was that she used the method of feigning death, and the knight Al.
Priscilla felt this way when she met "Sword Slave" Al in the arena, so she saved him in the end.
Facts also proved that her intuition given by the sun's protection was not wrong. She was able to fake her death and escape from the Holy Flakia Empire later on, thanks to Al's protection.
And when she met Wood, Priscilla's intuition appeared again, and this time the feeling was stronger than Al's that time!
Considering that the 42nd King Selection Ceremony of the Kin-Dragon Kingdom was about to begin, Priscilla believed that Wood's presence might directly affect the outcome of this King Selection Ceremony.
Unfortunately, compared to Al, who was the "Sword Slave" at the beginning, Priscilla's recruitment of Wood was not as smooth as expected.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because of the previous incident, Wood seems to have quite a problem with her. If she goes against her promise again this time, there is no guarantee that the other party will turn her back.
So after some further hesitation, Priscilla still followed the previous agreement and brought Wood to the Guards Knights of the Dragon Kingdom, and used her status as a noble to recommend it to Marcus.
Priscilla is the head of Baliel and one of the "Dragon Witches" candidates, so she is naturally qualified to recommend knights.
But as the leader of the group, Marcus did not want the most elite knights in the kingdom to become a gilded garbage collection station for the nobles.
Wood had just been taken away by him for investigation because of his status as a "gangster", so Max naturally didn't have much favorable impressions of him at the moment.
But Priscilla's identity was there, and he couldn't refuse directly, so he could only say: "The Kingdom's Knights Guards are the strongest fighting force in the Kingdom, and the knights gathered here are also
The best knight.
There is no problem if Baliel wants to recommend this person, but the Knights also have their own rules.
If you want to join our Knight Guards, you must at least pass the entrance test of our Knights."
Priscilla looked dissatisfied with what Marcus said, because the request made by the other party was obviously questioning her own vision.
However, Wood had no objections to this and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Knights to complete the so-called test.
After all, it is the Kingdom's Knight Guards. There is no corresponding test, so it would be a bit strange to join casually.
Moreover, Wood also wanted to know what the specific level of the Knight Guards of the Pro-Dragon Kingdom was like.
If he remembered correctly, Inharut seemed to have said before that he was also a member of the Knights of the Guards, so the knights in this knights' order were not all such stupid monsters.
Leaving aside what Lainharut said, Wood had already met Marcos, the leader of the Knights of the Guards in front of him twice.
To be honest, through the opponent's every move, Wood found that although the opponent was a good player, compared to Inhalut, he was far behind.
"The test is also very simple. It is to engage in a knight simulation battle with the knights in our Guards Knights. As long as you can remain undefeated, you will be qualified to join the knights."
The so-called "Knight Simulation Battle" is a special scene magic commonly used by the Knights of the Guards.
This magic is somewhat similar to PVP in RPG games, which is a single challenge in an environment.
When fighting in this environment, even if you are injured, your body will feel pain, but even if you die, you will not really die.
Instead, they will be forcibly sent outside. Apart from mental fatigue, there will be no physical wear and tear. This is a facility where the Knights of the Guards generally conduct rigorous training.
"Julius, let me let you engage in a knight simulation battle with him this time. I am most at ease if you know how to measure your position."
Marcus, the captain of the Guards Knights, glanced at the knights around him and finally called out a handsome purple-haired guy named Yurius.
"No way, no way, the leader actually asked Yurius to test the newcomers who join the order. This is obviously his intention to directly weld the door of the Knights to death!"
"If we take the Sword of the Kingdom as our opponent, the newcomer will definitely have no chance."
As a purple-haired young man with a dignified appearance and elegant manner walked out, the members of the Knights who were watching on the side also experienced a commotion.
Seeing that Marcus actually chose Rius to be Wood's entrance test, Priscilla also asked angrily: "Captain Marcus, is it true that your Guards Knights are currently taking the entrance test?"
Are the standards that high?
Since you need to be undefeated against the "best knight" in order to become a member of your knighthood?
As far as I know, the "best knight" is still the deputy leader of your knights. Are there more than two of your entire knights who can definitely defeat him?
If you take him as your opponent, even Commander Marcus yourself, you probably have no chance of winning, right?"
Priscilla was really angry at this moment, because she felt that Marcus was completely disrespectful to her, and was even deliberately making things difficult for the people she recommended.
She had heard of the name "The Best Knight in the Kingdom" even when she was in the Flakia Empire.
It is simply nonsense to ask the other party to be the person who assesses people for entering the league.
If the assessment is so difficult, this Knight Guards Order does not have so many members, and even the leader himself is not qualified to become a knight.
"Of course, if Yurius is the opponent in the simulated battle, the previous rules will naturally be appropriately lowered.
In the knight simulation battle, if you can hold on to Yurius for five minutes without being sent out of the venue, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment."
Marcus also knew that making Yurius the subject of the assessment would be too harsh, so he lowered the conditions for passing the assessment.
However, just when Priscilla was about to continue speaking to help Wood obtain more favorable conditions, Wood took the initiative and said: "There is no need to lower the standards, just follow the original rules.
There is another thing I want to ask, that is, if I defeat this best knight, what should I say? Are there any special rewards?"
After hearing what Wood said, everyone present went into silence for a short period, and then soon burst into laughter.
Especially those members of the Knights who had been colleagues with Yurius for a long time, now they directly laughed at Wood's overestimation of his abilities.
I think Wood was probably a country boy from a remote area. He might have been a figure in a remote and desolate place, but then he didn't know his last name when he arrived in the royal capital, and actually threatened to defeat Yurius Euclius!
"If you can defeat..., no, as long as you can remain undefeated at the hands of Yurius.
Then I will not only let you join the regiment, but I will also let you directly serve as the detachment captain of the knights."
Regarding Wood's arrogant words, Marcus did not laugh at it, but directly made a promise.
Marcus knew quite well what level Yurius was.
Obviously, like most of the people present, Marcus also believed that Wood was the kind of small place that knew nothing but was fearless. He thought he was invincible because he thought he had no rivals there.
With the entrance of Wood and Yurius, the so-called knight simulation battle also began.
A layer of light shield like a light curtain separated Wood and Yurius from everyone, while Marcus, Priscilla, and everyone in the Knights also came to the surrounding heights to watch the battle.
"My name is Julius Euclius, please give me your advice.
Unlike them, I never meant to look down on you from the beginning, because from the moment you stood in front of me, the little elf next to me kept warning me.
They told me that you are a very dangerous existence. If even the elves are so vigilant, it means that you are not only good at swordsmanship, but also have quite amazing magic power, right?"
Yurius Euclius was born into a noble family, had a dignified appearance and elegant manners, and was a knight with both civil and military skills.
He is excellent in swordsmanship, magic, strategy and other abilities, and is deeply trusted by other knights, so he is called the best knight.』
Because the qualities possessed by the other party perfectly fit the virtues of a knight, as if the so-called "knight" was originally used to describe Yurius.
