"Well, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You'll know what you need to know when you can." Raven dealt with it a bit vaguely, knowing full well and fully agreeing are two different things.
After all, he walks around the world wearing the identity of a wandering knight.
If you want to become a god in this world, it is much more difficult for outsiders than for locals.
"By the way, someone just went to deal with the dragon corpse." Lin Yu briefly told what happened, such as the matter of the mercenary union and the mysterious man in black robe.
"Well, don't worry, let him deal with it." Raven nodded, it was just a dragon corpse that had no use for either eating or using it.
As for the dragon head, the knight thought for a while and made a decision, "Let's hang the dragon head at the door of the inner ring."
——————
On the second day, in the middle of the city, a giant dragon head with a dead eye was erected and decorated in the high and raised inner ring of the city.
The ferocious face with human-sized teeth brought intense pressure to everyone. Everyone who saw it for the first time felt their legs become extremely weak and fell to their knees with a snap.
Those who see the dragon head, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will subconsciously weaken their legs and kneel down uncontrollably.
And on this day, a mercenary finally hunted and killed an ordinary dragon-like creature outside. When he dragged the several-meter-long lizard-like monster through the outer streets, the people around him were unable to dodge.
What they don't know is that this scene has just begun.

"Knight Barton."
"Are you sure you want to take the Bar Mitzvah?"
Barton's mind was very clear, and so was his body. He took a long breath and recalled the events since he followed Knight Raven.
In the past, Raven was a knight and he was a squire.
Now, Raven is the lord and he is the knight.
Although he has made progress, he is getting further and further away from that figure.
"Yes, I want to perform the oath ceremony." Barton was very determined.
"Knight Barton, I need to remind you that the oath you choose must be in line with your inner beliefs. Only with enough faith can the power of the oath be released."
The blurry white figure asked him over and over again, seemingly never aware of tiredness and tediousness.
"Please choose the terms of your oath."
"I choose humility, heroism, and sacrifice."
Barton spoke out the three powers he wanted to swear word for word.
In the records of the Book of Knights, there is a kind of knight called the Oath Knight, also called the Discipline Knight. This kind of knight needs great self-control to control himself and use the power of the mind to fight against the instinct of the body.
Taking the oath of humility will mean that he will be modest and prudent from now on, and must not have an arrogant or unruly attitude. Only by accepting it from the bottom of his heart and practicing it can the spirit of humility be born, sublimated and integrated into it.
Taking the oath of bravery means that he cannot retreat during the battle, and it means that he will attack with the most prominent posture in the battle and face the enemy with the most heroic posture.
Taking the oath of sacrifice will mean that in times of crisis, he will stop the enemy with a certain death mentality, and will sacrifice himself for his faith without hesitation when his sacrifice is needed.
Precepts are power, restraints, and shackles. After wearing these shackles, he will gain corresponding strength. The deeper his belief, the stronger the strength. The better he practices it, the deeper the strength.
"Knight Barton, please take the oath!"
"I……"
——————
"Is this the power of the mind?"
Lin Yu stood up for the rare occasion and communicated with Lei Wen. He witnessed the entire oath taking, the establishment of the oath, and the power transformed from the soul condensed into seeds under the illumination of the holy light.
He thought of the Holy Knight in Western fantasy novels, a powerful being whose commandments themselves drive the Holy Light.
Holy light comes from the outside world and also from the heart. If you believe it, it will be powerful, if you don't believe it, it will have none.
"This is the power of knights."
The eight codes of knights can also be said to be the eight virtues of knights. Every time you swear a code, you will get a kind of fighting spirit. Having one kind of fighting spirit is a great knight, having two kinds of fighting spirit is a knight commander, three to six kinds are extraordinary, and seven kinds of fighting spirit are extraordinary.
He is a legend, possesses eight kinds of fighting spirit, is the strongest legend, and is the strongest person under the gods.
Theoretically speaking, if someone can perfectly maintain the eight virtues and eight precepts, then he can pass through the legend without bottlenecks.
But such a person is no longer an ordinary person, but a saint, a born moral saint.
As for acquired mortals, overcoming instincts step by step, practicing creed, and reaching the pinnacle of will are artificially creating saints and perfect existences.
In this process, precepts are the main means of restriction.
Of course, not everyone is suitable to take this path. A single precept can also be sublimated step by step, through spiritual transformation and will sublimation again and again, to achieve the purpose of sublimating oneself.
Theoretically speaking, the difference between multiple fighting qi and single fighting qi lies in the number of fighting methods, rather than the strength of fighting power and life essence.
"If they believe it and abide by it, they will still be successful even if they do other things."
"If you don't believe it and let your mind fly without restrictions, I'm afraid you will achieve nothing no matter what you do."
Lin Yu agreed with Lei Wen's words.
If a person can really restrain himself and be strict with himself, there will be nothing he can't do for a long time. If he really has to strictly follow his own plan, it is an ironclad fact that as long as he doesn't die, he will become a legend.
On the contrary, if you do not have a plan, no restraint and a bottom line, then no matter what you do, you will not be able to accomplish anything great.
The Knight's Eight Virtues of Fighting Spirit derived from the Holy Light is just a seed that lights up his heart. Once his faith is lost, the consequences will not only be a loss of strength, but also the collapse of his own faith.
Therefore, it is not the knight's holy light that brings them power, but their own will that brings the power of the holy light.
"Holy light has no power, only will."
Raven said softly, looking at the knight who had received three commandments at the same time, he seemed to see his previous appearance.
At that time, he was still a little timid and scared, but in the blink of an eye, he had already begun to make decisions about his own life.
I hope you can stick to it.
——————
When Knight Barton opened his eyes, one command after another flowed through his heart, and the whole world was a little different.
In order to prevent himself from touching the precepts, all he can do is talk less, listen more, see more, keep the precepts in mind at all times, and let himself develop an instinct.
A flash of understanding arose in his heart. Perhaps the essence of fighting spirit is not the holy light, but the precepts.
"May the Holy Light protect me."
On this day, Knight Barton swore three precepts and entered the supernatural world under the holy light.
