17. George the Pure White Knight
Firth is a huge city.
This city of ice and snow is located in the south of the Kingdom of England. It should be warm all year round, but it is the coldest city in the entire kingdom.
There are more than six million humans living here, and unlike other cities in England, subhuman and non-human intelligent creatures are extremely rare here.
Even today with the invention of the light bulb, no matter where they go, the Witcher and Hala can see huge torches.
All streets in the city of Fors are erected with two-meter-high torches, which are symbols of the goddess of fire, Gafnan.
The original fire is also the final fire.
According to the Church of Original Fire, the universe was born in a ball of fire, and will eventually perish in a ball of fire.
The rest of the church scoffed at the idea.
But this cannot stop the Primordial Fire from becoming one of the major unshakable sects on this continent. Their followers are spread across many kingdoms, and Firth is their first step in infiltrating Inland.
The main structure of the sacred church is gold and red. The beautiful and proud statue of Gaffnan is erected in the Square of the Original Fire. The height of the magnificent marble statue is nearly 28.8 meters. Even if most giants pass by, they can only look up at her beauty.
However, this height is nothing compared to the true God. The previous generation of popes reinterpreted the Book of Holy Fire and overturned the previous statement that the goddess was 2888 meters tall.
Instead, he claimed that Gafnan's figure was as high as eight suns. Modern astronomy has told everyone what this concept is.
If she were to condescend to come to the mortal world, she would either create an incarnation or send a messenger, otherwise she would destroy the entire Ellens, so it is enough to imagine how great Gafnan is.
If you ask Hevin to tell you, this is pure nonsense.
But the demon hunters know that although the Primeval Fire is powerful in this city, they are not the rulers here.
The witcher held the little girl's hand and pointed to the majestic tower.
"Hewen, is there a magical mage up there?"
"No, there's a white knight up there."
Knights of the Kingdom of England.
The dragon once had twenty-four sharp claws, but six of them were broken during the thousand years she fought, and six of them defected during the thousand years she slept.
Today's Inland should be managed by the Twelve Knights and the Kingdom Council together to assist the king. However, since the king is temporarily unable to handle political affairs, the actual power of the country is now the Knights and the Parliament.
Inside the tower.
A handsome young man stared at the church on the other side of the city, which was the tallest building in Forth after this tower.
George, the pure white knight, wears a white velvet coat and looks down at the city beneath his feet with a leering look.
Behind him were four knights in silver helmets kneeling, all holding swords and wearing armor, their heads lowered and silent.
They are all George's disciples, but to be honest, in George's eyes, none of them is qualified to inherit his mantle.
It's totally useless.
George put down his tea cup and turned to look at his disciple:
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Chief Knight Apprentice Aibel is a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters. He was the first to speak:
"Deputy Captain Adams has been making many small moves in private recently, and may have even violated the Knights' regulations. In fact, since he took office, he has been deliberately trying to sideline the teacher and secretly bring the entire Knights under his control."
George refilled the hot black tea and blew gently. The tea immediately became warm and suitable.
"What do you think?" Although George didn't take these disciples seriously, in the end they were still his apprentices in name, and their parents had paid a high price, so he had to show off.
.
At least make them feel that you are really teaching them with all your heart. Whether they listen or not is another matter.
Abel suppressed the surprise in his heart. The teacher's performance made him feel that he was favored. He ignored the possible jealousy of several people around him and answered confidently:
"Adams's move naturally crossed the line. Furthermore, the whole Knights are united. We all grew up listening to our teacher's stories, and we will not ignore the leader just because he bribed us."
Speaking of this, Abel paused for two seconds and his tone changed slightly:
"But having said that, the deputy captain also tested the captain again and again before taking actual action. I have mentioned it many times before..."
At this point, Abel glanced at George and found that he showed no signs of anger before he dared to continue:
"The teacher, out of his own consideration and kindness, ignored his little move, but he pushed it even further, thinking that the teacher was letting him go. If he was allowed to continue like this, although the knights are all of high moral character and would not betray the captain,
But it is easy to get distracted and worry about you, teacher. Over time, it will also affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the team members."
His chief apprentice was actually quite talented, no less talented than the fourth apprentice. However, he had too many small thoughts, but did not think deeply enough. George gradually became bored after watching him for a long time.
George pointed at the second apprentice Mayo. This apprentice's melancholy eyes and curly brown hair made him look like a down-and-out poet, more like a knight:
"And you?"
Hearing George asking about Mayo, Abel lowered his head to cover up his disappointment. It turned out that the pure white knight was not the only one testing him.
Mayo spoke slowly:
"I don't think the deputy captain's problem is big. He does have signs of overstepping, but he is worthy of the knight regulations. All his actions are out of good intentions. After all, only by gathering strength better can we better protect our people.
, before he breaks the rules and laws of chivalry, I don’t think I need to interfere too much with his behavior.”
Mayo slowly raised his head, showing a hint of enthusiasm:
"And if he really does something unforgivable, with the teacher's ability, he can be taken down easily."
George took another sip of tea. Mayo was much smarter than Abel. The image of a silly young man who worshiped his teacher, believed in the legend of the Knights, and put the interests of the people before the interests of the Knights emerged.
This kind of person is most liked by pedantic and self-righteous knights, and those insidious and selfish guys will not hate this kind of innocent boy. They only need to make up a few righteous reasons to make them devote themselves wholeheartedly, and
Nothing threatening.
But this kind of people are often the ones who least believe in the existence of justice and justice, and it is impossible to believe that there will be a group of people in the world who will fight to death for a silly ideal.
Because they themselves are extremely selfish guys, so judging others by themselves, they will naturally feel that everyone in the world desires power and power.
This is the kind of person George hates the most, because that's what he used to be.
