Chapter 294 Knight Lion

"Time flies so fast. In a few months, I will be thirty years old..."

In Christine's private estate, the study was filled with various furniture in the rich Lorne classical style, a solid wood desk with carved patterns, a heavy bookcase, and a classical style writing desk. Christine, sitting in a wheelchair, sighed.

She suddenly felt that time was really flying.

Before I knew it, almost thirty years of my life had passed.

I have moved forward step by step and am about to fully master the third-level sequence power.

She has discovered that serving, even if the object of her service is the entire family, can effectively help her master the sequence power of the path to power.

"However, Butler Tio will be promoted before me. After all, he has completely mastered the third-tier sequence power. All he has left is to complete the ceremony to be promoted to 'Knight of Glory'."

If you want to be promoted to a "Glorious Knight", you must first complete the corresponding ceremony, that is, practice the various codes of the knight.

The chivalric code of each country is slightly different, and the eight chivalric codes widely circulated in Syat are "courage", "honesty", "generosity", "humility", "mercy", "honor", "sacrifice" and "piety".

Only by satisfying them can promotion be achieved.

"Speaking of the knight's promotion ceremony, it would be easy for you to complete it..."

Kristine thought of this and subconsciously looked at the man standing nearby.

Her sharpest sword, Andre Rhine, whose temperament was as noble as an ancient knight, was standing in the study, listening to Christine's words calmly.

"Yes, Miss Christine, time always passes so quickly, like a flying bird that never stops..."

"But no matter how time passes, I will accompany you and continue to walk on your behalf."

Andre expressed his feelings very calmly. He had always been by Christine's side for many years, never asking for anything in return, but just thinking and fighting wholeheartedly for Miss Christine.

He is the grandson of Viscount Best and the most qualified person of this generation of the Rhine Family. He has inherited the powerful bloodline of the Bronze Lion and is also a very outstanding and upright man.

At first, the lions even hoped that Andre could lead the family to rise again, but they didn't expect that the man would be moved by Christine overnight and want to become her bodyguard, her sharp sword.

People don't understand why such an outstanding man like Andre doesn't inherit the Lion family, but instead becomes Christine Fischer's bodyguard?

Even if the Fisher family is very powerful, he should not be so dependent on others. At least for the proud lions, that is unacceptable.

"love at first sight."

When the members of the Lion family asked him the reason, Andre answered his reasons calmly.

Everyone was shocked. Although Miss Christine was indeed very beautiful, she was a severely disabled person after all. No one knew what Andre was thinking. He fell in love with her at first sight. Was it just to curry favor with the Fisher family?

Andre said seriously:

"I have fallen in love with Miss Christine. She is like a broken butterfly that never has complete wings but always wants to spread her wings and fly high."

“People think Miss Christine is a cold person, but I think she has a spirit of dedication deep in her heart.”

"She actually never thought about herself, but was devoted to her family and strong in her loyalty to others."

Everyone had only heard that Miss Christine was calculating and cold-blooded towards outsiders outside the family, but they did not expect that in Andre's eyes she had so many good qualities.

His father was the new head of the Lion family. After deep thought, he made a suggestion.

"Andre."

"Why don't you just propose a marriage? With our relationship with the Fisher family, as long as you add some bargaining chips, you still have a great chance of marrying Miss Christine."

However, Andre shook his head and answered seriously:

"I'm not familiar with her yet, and she has already given a lot to the family. If she were to marry a man she doesn't love, that's something I don't want to see."

Everyone in the Lion Family was shocked by Andre and was completely speechless.

However, at first Christine did not agree with his unauthorized following at all, and instead asked Andre to do three extremely difficult tasks.

Verbal loyalty is meaningless. She felt that it was impossible to tell in a short period of time whether Andre was a good or bad person deep down in his heart. After all, Andre was a descendant of Viscount Best, and he might have huge ambitions hidden deep in his heart.

So Christine wanted to test this man.

"If you can complete them all, I will allow you to follow me."

The first thing was to test his wisdom. Christine asked Andre to thoroughly investigate the Snowy Night Murder case which had caused a sensation at the time.

The murderer was very clever. He created several incidents that looked like accidental deaths and framed three people who intended to kill, making them scapegoats for his murders.

Ordinary people would think that it was an accidental death. Smart people would discover the "truth" of the accidental death when they first start to solve the relevant puzzles. At most, they would only arrest the three scapegoats who have criminal motives and huge suspicions.

However, Andre not only found out the murderer's true identity from tiny doubts, but also chased the murderer in the snow for seven days and seven nights, and finally caught him alive.

The second thing is a test of courage. Christine asks Andre to take people on a long journey to the sea to obtain a fourth-level extraordinary material in the dangerous lightless sea.

It was indeed a very difficult task, but Andre spent two full years and finally did it. He even brought back two sets of level four extraordinary materials.

The third thing was to test loyalty. Christine asked Andre to stay by her side for a year without speaking, obey any orders, and never disobey.

However, Andre did not agree directly.

"The orders I can complete must not violate my principles."

He said calmly:

"Miss Christine, I hope you can respect my principles. I never kill innocent people, and I will always respond to the calls for help from women and children. Finally, I will not hurt my relatives and friends for no reason."

Christine in the wheelchair nodded slightly and said calmly: "In this case, then you can leave. It means you are not suitable to be my subordinate. Well, you failed."

Everyone thought that Andre would insist and even beg, after all, he had paid so much sunk costs and was so full of love for Christine.

However, things turned out to be beyond everyone's expectations. Andre just nodded, turned around and left.

Finally he was stopped by Christine.

"Although you didn't pass the test in the end, I agree that you can become my sword."

"You win."

At that time, Christine felt that she seemed to have passed Andre Rhine's test.

If Andre finally agreed to her and completed the test perfectly, she would certainly make him her trusted subordinate, but that would be the extent of their relationship.

——

After dealing with many family matters, Christine in the wheelchair said calmly:

"It's almost time, Andre, let them come in."

"Yes, I understand."

Andre nodded gently, calmly opened the door and walked out to inform the three people who were waiting for a short time.

Soon the three "Purifiers" came in. They were wearing brown coats and had revolvers on their waists. They saluted Ms. Christine one after another.

The leading Path of Order Purger took a deep breath, solemnly took out a stack of documents, handed them to Ms. Christine, and said:

"Ms. Christine, this is the task you assigned to us. It took us several years to finally complete it. It was not easy."

"Luckily, none of the three of us died in the end."

Over the past few years, the three of them have been collecting all kinds of intelligence and evidence all over the East Coast, and they were almost killed several times. It was not easy for them to survive to this day.

Now, everything is finally paying off.

Christine calmly read through all the documents, and everyone waited silently. After more than an hour, she finally nodded seriously and said:

"Andre, go and invite my uncle, Lord Byrne, my mother Vanessa, and Mr. Moore."

"These matters must be handled by my uncle, Lord Byrne. As for my mother and Mr. Moore, they will complete the ceremony of promotion to the fourth-level 'Judge' together."
