Chapter 116 The Secret of the Canonization
Ryan, who was still feeling the afterglow of the battle, turned his head in confusion when he heard what Hamilton said.
Hamilton looked around and said, "Come, let's go to the office to talk about this."
Ryan nodded and agreed naturally.
After Hamilton and the other two left, the entire training ground was like a boiling oil pan being poured with a basin of cold water, and it instantly boiled up!
"Ryan has become a formal knight at such a young age! This kind of knight talent is probably rare in the county city, right?"
"Yes! Our Shining Gold Town seems to have never seen a knight as young as Ryan, right?"
"The last Vasily seemed to be eighteen years old!"
"."
In the office.
The three sat facing each other, and Connor still looked at Ryan up and down with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at a piece of raw gemstone that had just been excavated.
Hamilton's face was solemn, and he said to Ryan seriously: "Ryan, you have to prepare for one thing in advance, that is, prepare for the imperial canonization assessment."
"The imperial canonization assessment?" Ryan asked with a little doubt.
After entering the extraordinary realm, wouldn't the Empire directly confer the title of knight, the lowest level of nobles?
Why do we need to take the test? Ryan thought.
Hamilton seemed to understand the confusion on Ryan's face and continued to explain:
"If you are the direct heir of a noble, you can naturally skip this step and directly obtain the title of the Empire. But for non-direct heirs, civilians promoted, outsiders, etc., they all need to make contributions to the Empire before they have the opportunity to be conferred."
Ryan nodded, he understood. The Empire gives you the treatment of a noble, and naturally you have to make corresponding contributions to the Empire. Otherwise, unless your ancestors have made meritorious contributions, how can you enjoy the treatment without working?
"Of course, some new knights with weaker strength will choose to be loyal to some great nobles and become the family knights of the nobles, but I think you will definitely not choose this path." Hamilton continued.
Ryan nodded.
Since you can actively choose the tree to lean on, you will naturally choose the thickest one. After all, no noble can compare with the towering tree of the empire.
Whether it is the various rare resources, rare combat skills or secret knowledge that can be provided, the imperial officials are always the strongest in the Dragun Empire.
"So, Lord Hamilton, what you mean is that this imperial canonization assessment is difficult, or there is a threshold?" Ryan thought for a while and said.
"That's right!"
"If you are the offspring of a noble, as long as you step into the extraordinary realm, you can directly sign up for the investiture assessment."
"But for civilians, this matter is much more troublesome."
"First of all, you have to submit an application to the Investiture Assessment Committee under the Imperial Senate. They will review your background and past to confirm that you are not a spy or from some hostile forces."
"Secondly, you need to serve or perform tasks in the official functional departments of the empire and slowly accumulate merit points. When the merit points exceed 1,000 points, you will be eligible to apply for the assessment."
"For you, Ryan, you don't have to worry about submitting an application. As long as you agree, I will help you submit the application. In addition, you are already serving in the Night's Watch. So, from this point of view, you are half a step ahead of others."
"Thank you, sir, what are my current merit points?"
"324 points, this has already counted the merit points for eradicating the secret base of the Black Flame Church." Hamilton directly reported a number and said.
There is still nearly two-thirds missing. It seems that it is not so easy to collect 1,000 merit points.
After all, the simpler the task, the less merit reward will be given. And the more dangerous the task, although the merit reward will be much greater, it requires risking one's life. Whether it is worth it depends on one's own judgment. Ryan thought to himself.
However, there are still a few questions, and Ryan thinks he still needs to ask them clearly.
"Sir, how is this enthronement assessment generally assessed? Or what is the content of the assessment?" Ryan asked.
"Generally, it is to complete a certain task, which may be multiple people or a single person. Everyone's task performance will be recorded and submitted to the enthronement assessment committee for judgment." Hamilton explained.
After thinking for a while, Hamilton added: "You can think of the last mission of killing the Black Flame Monk and rescuing the child as an assessment mission. Of course, there are still differences, the most important difference is the evaluation." "
If the evaluation is high enough, you may directly obtain the title of Baron, followed by Lord, and Knight just crosses the pass line."
After listening to this, Ryan showed a thoughtful look on his face. It turned out that there were different evaluations according to different performances.
"No! Wouldn't it be better to take the assessment later? After all, later, you will have more time to practice, and your strength will naturally be higher."
"Then why did Lord Hamilton prepare and participate as soon as possible?" Ryan immediately thought of something wrong.
At this time, Colonel Connor, who had been listening for a long time, smiled and said: "Don't you understand why Hamilton asked you to hurry up."
Ryan nodded and said: "I do have such a question. Isn't it more appropriate to go with a higher strength?"
"That's because age is also an important factor affecting the evaluation." Connor said with a smile.
"In addition, Hamilton didn't mention another very important reason. That is, the invitation letter for the Empire's 'Sword Bearer' will only be issued to members who have achieved the Baron rank."
"At this time, the advantage of age is very important."
'Sword Bearer'?
This seemed to touch upon another blind spot in Ryan's knowledge.
Looking at Ryan's slightly confused expression, Colonel Connor added:
"Sword Bearer, Ryan, you can understand that this is a privileged organization that spans the entire empire. If you can join, you will jump out of Mayster County, or even the Munster Province."
"You will be exposed to a wider world!"
This made Ryan's heart move slightly. Can you be exposed to a wider world?
That's naturally good.
At this time, Hamilton continued Connor's words:
"Therefore, in order to be safe, most new knights will choose to slowly increase their merit points. It usually takes two or three years to accumulate 1,000 merit points. Then they will participate in the canonization assessment. The goal is to pass and obtain the title of knight."
"But Ryan, I think it would be a waste of your talent if you do this!"
"'Sword Bearer'! When I was young, I worked hard and fought for this goal, but the gap in talent made me fail in the end." Hamilton seemed to recall the past and couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course, Ryan, you need to make the final decision on this matter."
"Connor and I are just telling you the news. At the same time, we think that with your great talent, it would be a pity if you don't try it."
Ryan nodded and said, "Thank you both adults for telling me such important news."
After thinking for a while, without too much hesitation, Ryan said, "If there is a chance to see a wider world, then... I must go and see it."
As soon as Ryan said this, Hamilton laughed immediately, and looked at Ryan with more appreciation, and said:
"Okay, I will keep an eye out for you for any tasks with higher merit rewards recently. Ryan, just wait for my news."
"In addition, I will arrange for other people to take charge of the night patrol tasks of the Night Watch."
"I didn't expect that I had just appointed you as the captain of the Night Watch, but you entered the extraordinary today!"
"Well, you can be my deputy first. Regarding your application for the deputy sheriff of Shining Gold Town, I will report to the county town tomorrow." Hamilton was obviously in a good mood and took the initiative to say.
"Then thank you, Mr. Hamilton." Ryan said seriously.
When Ryan left Hamilton's office, it was already evening.
Ryan took a deep breath and looked at the town where the lights were gradually turning on.
The night view of Shining Gold Town has not changed, but he is now very different from when he came.
In other words, Ryan, who has entered the Knight (Supernatural), has taken the first step to control his own destiny.
When Ryan returned home, he smelled the fragrant food as soon as he entered the door. This was the smell of his mother Emma preparing dinner.
"Brother, you are back!" Mint, who was originally playing with the greyhound 'Cookie', saw Ryan come in, ran over happily, and hugged Ryan enthusiastically.
However, as if sensing something, Mint let go of his hand and raised his head, looking at Ryan with a puzzled look, and said: "Brother, why do I feel that you are different from before?"
"It seems that the whole person is glowing."
The child's keen perception immediately discovered the strong life force field emitted by Ryan, but he didn't know how to express it, nor did he know what it meant.
At this time, Lagre and Anna, who heard the noise of Ryan coming home, also came down from upstairs.
After hearing Mint's last words, the two began to look Ryan up and down.
Although Anna also felt that Ryan was different, she couldn't tell where the difference was.
But Lagre was different. She was stunned for a moment, and the next second, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, pointing at Ryan and said in surprise: "Ryan, you...you have entered the extraordinary?"
Now, the eyes of the whole family were focused on Ryan, even his mother Emma poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Ryan.
Ryan touched his head, smiled, and said: "Lucky! I took the advanced potion at Lord Hamilton's place this afternoon, and I have successfully entered the extraordinary!"
"Bang!" Mother Emma's rice spoon fell to the ground, and the whole person seemed to be struck by lightning. The whole body was shaky at this moment, her face flushed, and her eyes rolled back. She was so excited that she was about to faint.
Ryan quickly stepped forward and supported her.
At this time, the hand holding the bottle of wine was also trembling, as if he had Parkinson's disease. He stammered twice, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Anna looked at Ryan with a pair of big eyes, with a complicated expression.
That night, Old Ryan was drunk!
