Maintaining a polite but embarrassing smile, the sub-group leader even wondered if he was too old and therefore his ears were not very good, but he is not only young now, he is even considered to be the best among all the sub-group leaders. young,.
There is naturally no shortage of ambitious people in the Paladins. Even those who sit at the highest positions in the Holy See cannot ensure that everyone comes to the Paladins because of their belief in the God of Light. Family reasons or lack of a place to stand is also an issue. Or those who cannot survive on their own, many will choose to come here.
Of course, people without faith may be able to join the Knights, but it is difficult to continue to move up, because without faith, you will not get the mercy of the God of Light. To the point where these can be ignored, otherwise, it would be impossible to become an apprentice knight.
To put it another way, if you really have such aptitude, you wouldn't join the Paladins because of the difficulty of life and unable to survive alone.
Indeed, as the head of the branch, he has seen many young people aiming for the highest position among the Paladins over the years. After all, it is a good thing for young people to have goals, but Silent Yan was the first to put such a thing in front of him. Ambition to those who say it.
Saying in front of a sub-group leader that his goal is to become a big group leader is not only ambitious, but also arrogant.
But this young teenage knight was sitting there neither humble nor arrogant, without the anxiety of a boy of this age, with a humble attitude and good manners, an existence that made people feel pleasing to the eyes and even subconsciously felt good just by looking at it.
What's more, he does have this strength. To achieve such magical attainments at this age, at least in terms of magic, he is definitely favored by the God of Light.
People are like this, when an overly arrogant speech is spoken by another person with outstanding talent and likability, it is no longer whimsical, and even makes people involuntarily imagine this possibility, after all, the Paladins Today's chiefs have also gone all the way from apprentices to where they are today. They are human beings and inevitably have to withstand the erosion of time, and the younger generation will pass them sooner or later.
It is true that even the great leader will be replaced sooner or later, but this does not mean that the position of the great leader is so easy to take.
Of course, it is a good thing to have a clear goal, but the head of the branch, who thinks he has seen a lot, thinks that this young man has set his goals too high. It is the highest level that many magicians can achieve in their lifetimes, but the chief of the Knights does not only want magic.
Whether it is combat skills or actual combat experience, there is no way for a teenager who has not actually been on the battlefield and only participated in some low-level tasks to be comparable to the rest of the Knights.
The head of the branch was afraid that he had too high expectations for himself, so that he would find out that there are still many excellent people, and his mentality was not easy to adjust for a while, and he fell too badly.
This is not because he is overly concerned. Every batch of apprentices will encounter a few children who are more talented than other children. Of course, they have not reached the level of the young man in front of them, but the young talents who have not fully developed are similar. , Many of them fell down after being hit because of wrong estimates of themselves.
It is precisely because Silent Yan said more than these people, "Having goals is a good thing. Do you know how long it took me to sit in this position?"
He asked this question suddenly, it was a question that a silent person would definitely not be able to answer.
All members of the Paladins are never sloppy in physical exercise. The result of continuous exercise is that most of the Knights look younger than their actual age. Because of their continuous exercise, their skin is not easy to sag and their body is better. for health.
Compared with the Ministry of Magic, who likes to stay at home most of the time, two people of the same age together, the Paladins will look nearly ten years younger than the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, the sub-group leader must be older than his actual age.
Silent Yan pondered for a while, and replied, "Twenty years?"
In fact, he thinks that it may take thirty years for him to stand out from the entire knights and become the head of the division. In addition to his strength, he must have certain qualifications. The importance of qualifications in this kind of organization cannot be more clear, because the question of qualifications Caused him to stay in the previous world for a much longer time than he expected.
However, although he thought so in his heart, when he answered, he still said ten years less.
No matter who asked this question and with what attitude, no one would want to be looked down upon.
The sub-group leader didn't want him to really guess the correct answer, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard Silent Yan's guess, and said, "Nineteen years to be exact."
Such an answer surprised Silent Yan.
If it is counted from the time of becoming an apprentice, it means that this person in front of him has already become the head of the branch in his twenties. There is no doubt that he must have been a genius at that time.
"I also became a knight when I was about the same age as you, but after so many years, I'm still a branch leader." The man said with a smile, "Of course I'm not saying that your abilities are limited to this, I just I think you can aim closer."
Hearing this, Silent Yan also generally understood what he meant.
This kind of reminder is nothing more than hoping that he will set his goal in a position where he can achieve it with hard work, and take it step by step. This may be a very kind reminder to any other person, but it is very useful for Silent Word. It's not very big, because becoming a big head is one of his tasks.
But he humbly accepted the suggestion.
Seeing that he didn't show any dissatisfaction or a bit of self-esteem, the head of the branch was immediately very satisfied with this newcomer who must have come to him.
He routinely asked the remaining questions and said, "Your aptitude in magic is understandable, but the Paladins pay more attention to close combat. Every knight who turns from apprentice knight to a regular knight will have to go through a series of strict assessment items. I have seen your performance all the time, every part is very good, but I want to test it myself in terms of swordsmanship."
As the person who had sent a letter from the Holy See expressing his hope that he would be promoted directly, he had already skipped the formal assessment. In order to ensure the overall quality of the Knights, the head of the sub-group thought it was necessary for him to personally check whether the other party's swordsmanship was good or not. Also as good as his magic.
He wasn't asking for his opinion, so Silent Yan naturally had no possibility of rejecting it.
The Light God Cult has a lot of assets, and the head of the branch has a practice room of his own. There are all kinds of swords and spears of different lengths on the surrounding shelves, but the duel must still use the best one for him, yes Silent Yan said that the one in his own hand was the most convenient, because it had been used for a long time, and he was familiar with both the length and the weight.
Silent Yan didn't know much about his swordsmanship, so after arriving at the practice ground, when the sub-group leader asked him to do a simple self-evaluation, he answered simply the word 'general'.
The head of the branch was noncommittal about his answer. A person who has set his goal as the highest position in the Paladins should at least be confident in his own strength. To be able to say an evaluation like 'general' can only be a form of humility. .
There is a huge difference between apprentice knights and knights, and swordsmanship that looks good enough at the time of apprenticeship may not be the same as knights.
The branch leader hoped that Silent Yan's swordsmanship would be worthy of his 'modesty' at the moment.
If the sub-group leader can really read Silent Yan's true thoughts from his facial expressions, he will find that Silent Yan is not doing superficial work. The so-called "general" in his mouth is not modest, but he really thinks so. of.
Swordsmanship is something that cannot be improved by pondering blindly by yourself.
In the end of the world, Silent Yan used a sword, but at that time his sword had no rules, the purpose of existence was to kill zombies, and there was no skill at all. After arriving at the interstellar, the sword used was mecha. And he is just an operator, although there will be opponents in training, but most of the time, the cannon will be better than the lightsaber.
It can be said that after he came to this world, he was in the formal study of swordsmanship. He had a teacher who specialized in swordsmanship, and there were related courses every day. He had touched a certain threshold.
But swordsmanship needs to be improved in battle. He needs a lot of actual combat experience, and there is no one around who can help him improve his swordsmanship.
'Normal' in Silentyan's mouth refers to the degree to which he can beat his peers, but cannot beat up people of such rank as the sub-group leader. For Silentyan, whose task is to become a big commander, the evaluation is 'average'. Very polite.
When Silent Yan put away his sword and saluted politely and politely as the end, as the leader of the winning team, he had some doubts about his life. At this time, he was sweating because of the duel just now, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.
"What is your opinion of your swordsmanship?" He reconfirmed.
Silent Yan was still reminiscing about the confrontation just now. The leader of the group is really different from the others. The previous round of duel was far more rewarding for him than the ten rounds with others. The lessons learned and the problems perceived during the duel are all of different weights.
Hearing the question of the person who had made him a lot of money at this time, he said silently and sincerely, "After the duel with you, I think that my swordsmanship may be more suitable with 'unsatisfactory', 'general' is not enough. "
After personally testing his strength, the head of the branch has no doubt that even if he were to go directly to the regular assessment test of the knights, he would still be able to stand out and even get a very good result.
It is no exaggeration to say that he doesn't even think that there are people of this age who are better than this young man, and even if they are placed in the Knights, they will still be outstanding.
He doesn't doubt the time Silent Yan learned swordsmanship, because it can be seen from the duel that his main problem is that he does not have much duel experience, so that he has no way to further improve himself, but he is conscious and quick to respond , Although he lacks duel experience in swordsmanship, it gives him the illusion that he has rich combat experience.
Originally, he had the attitude of just trying it out, but in the end he found that he was forced too much into it by a novice, and when he realized it, he had reached the point where he couldn't stop.
There was too much killing intent in this young man's sword, and it was a suffocating aura that even he himself didn't seem to notice, and revealed unconsciously.
People who learn swordsmanship will be affected by the situation of using the sword at first or the difference of the professor, and the sword of Silent Word gives him the feeling that he first learned the sword as if to kill people. It can be seen that he has tried his best to restrain himself from using it. Those more skillful moves, but the occasional inadvertent sword that only wanted to take the opponent's life made people involuntarily shiver down the spine, and made each of his swords more threatening.
It's hard to imagine that such a gentle person could use such a sword.
The boy who put away the sword is like putting away all the dangers exposed just now, and he looks gentle and harmless, just like his initial impression of him, a person who seems to be easy to make people feel good about. .
The head of the sub-group had a complicated look on his face. He didn't know how to tell this young man that he would be beaten if he went out and said 'the swordsmanship was not satisfactory'.
Although it was unexpectedly discovered that the newcomer was unconscious, the sub-group leader also had a certain understanding of his abilities, and he also had some ideas about the arrangement of the newcomer.
The speed of the Paladins is very fast.
The next day, Silent Yan received his new clothes, a letter and a key.
After all, this is not the time for the selection of the Paladins, and only Silent Yan is the only one who has transferred personnel. This kind of thing can be dealt with quickly.
To be promoted to a knight needs to go to the Holy See to participate in the relevant ceremonies. This is the same whether it is a special situation like him or not. In the past, every new batch of knights will participate in the ceremony at the same time, but Silent Yan is a person who is raised alone. When he took the position of knight, the same batch of apprentice knights had not yet reached the time of promotion, so the Holy See held a ceremony for him alone and went through the process.
When Silent Yan placed the sword on the platform in front of him according to the process and presented his loyal ministers to the statue of the God of Light, he clearly felt that the power from the God of Light had come to him more generously than before.
Since he passed the 'test' of the God of Light, endured the pain with only his own willpower and finally completely purified the darkness in his body after a long period of torture, the God of Light seemed to be extra generous to him.
At the beginning, in order to test him, the God of Light specially gave him far more light power than others when he prayed, so that he had sufficient light power to drive out the evolutionary darkness under the premise of being able to endure the pain, and after he succeeded, he no longer needed it. So much light power has been used to purify, but the power given to him by the God of Light has not decreased accordingly.
The ceremony was successfully completed, and a layer of special power was attached to his original sword, and he could feel that it was not the same as before. This may be the most crucial part of this ceremony.
Silent Yan just took back the sword, and before he had time to thank the surrounding magicians and knights who participated in the ceremony, a magician who was not very familiar stumbled over not far away.
Looking at the clothes, it seems to be a high-level magician.
In just a few days, he saw two high-level magicians and a leader-level character, which is very rare for his current level.
As soon as the magician came in, his eyes fell on Silent Yan.
