Chapter 123 Everyone Can Become a God?
Darcy is an ordinary person who has never learned the breathing method and has no foundation in knights. Before coming to Ashes Town, he was just a working serf. But now he has begun to condense the seeds of life, which is definitely a rarity in the history of knights. thing.
Linn didn't know if something similar had happened before, but the changes that appeared in Darcy really surprised him.
Not only him, but also the senior knight Matthew.
Matthew used to be a high-level knight, and he had the potential to become an earth knight. Although he was young at the time, he had been to countless places, experienced many things, and had a lot of experience, but this was the first time he had heard of it.
Lynn continued: "What is the essence of a knight?"
Matthew replied, "Gather energy to condense into life seeds. Use the life seeds to continuously temper your body, so that your physical fitness will continue to increase until you reach the bottleneck. Once you break through the bottleneck, you will enter the next level."
"Then how to break through?" Linn asked.
"Everyone has a different way of breaking through. However, senior knights have been constantly training their bodies to push their bodies beyond their limits. Just like making weapons, they require continuous forging. However, materials also have advantages and disadvantages. Even if excellent materials have been It can survive thousands of forgings and become sharper. Low-quality materials will break after just a few dozen forgings.
Knights with outstanding talents will have a greater chance of advancing. Knights with average talents may only be junior knights throughout their lives. As for advanced knights and above, they need to forge spiritual power. I have not entered the Earth Knights yet, so I don’t know much. "
Matthew thought and told the knight's advancement.
"In addition, the breathing method is of great help to knights. The ordinary breathing method is completely different from the advanced breathing method. The latter will increase the probability of advancement. It is said that there is a legendary breathing method among the royal family. After practicing it, it is possible to enter the legend , However, this also requires the support of talent, otherwise, legends would not be so rare."
Lin En pondered for a moment and asked: "Darcy knows nothing, but he breaks through to the knight without any teacher. Does it mean that his talent is too strong? If he is allowed to practice the breathing method, will he become a legend? "
Matthew opened his mouth, but fell silent again.
After a long time, he said: "I have never heard of such a thing. Maybe some old legends will know about it. As for talent."
He was silent again.
"Perhaps as you said, his practice of high-level breathing techniques will become a legend."
Matthew was silent several times. In fact, what happened today was the first time he had encountered it in his knight career.
Lin En shook his head slightly. He still felt that something was not right. Even if his talent was terrifyingly powerful, could he gather life seeds simply by standing in a military posture and running in circles? This is similar to how a mage can directly use three magic weapons without any training. Level spells are the same.
Again, what is the essence of a knight?
In the past, Lin En would have thought that practicing the breathing method was a method of continuously tempering the body and then assisting in gathering energy. Because he obtained the life seeds directly through rewards, he did not understand this very well.
But now, he had new doubts, whether it was theoretically possible for everyone to become a knight.
Lynn voiced the idea.
Matthew directly rejected it, "Impossible. I have said before that knight is not a title. If everyone can become a knight, then a knight is not a knight."
Linn said: "According to your statement, everyone is human, so are humans still humans?"
"You" Matthew's expression stagnated, "You are just talking nonsense here. How can people compare with knights? There are nobles, serfs, royal families, and mages among people. There are differences in levels."
"But they are all human in nature. Whether they are nobles or serfs, they are all different in status. Humans are humans, and they are an ethnic group. They are different from elves, orcs and other ethnic groups." Lin En retorted.
"The fact that you can say such things means that after becoming a knight, you have removed yourself from the category of human beings. You are higher than others, but you are still human." Linn added.
Matthew's expression changed. Instead of refuting Linn's theory, he thought deeply about it.
He murmured, "After I became a junior knight, I did seem to feel that my identity had changed. But at that time, I just felt that knights were more powerful than ordinary people. In essence, there was no difference. After I broke through to After becoming an intermediate knight, looking at ordinary people is like looking at trees and stones on the roadside. I was still young at that time, so I didn’t think much about it, but I remember hearing something said by an old knight.”
"The longer you become a knight, the closer you are to the God of Knights!"
Lynn rubbed his chin, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
Matthew continued: "The old knight lived for a long time. He didn't say specifically, but I guess he must be at least a hundred years old. He has devout faith in the God of Knights and said that he would definitely be able to go there after death. The kingdom of gods.
And it didn’t take long for me to break through to the high-level knight. Speaking of which, my mentality seemed to have changed significantly at that time. Even the nobles didn’t look down on me. As for people, to put it unpleasantly but it’s true, just like There is no difference between those animals. "
Linn asked: "Is this why you don't want to become a noble?"
Matthew shook his head, "No, I just had hatred for the nobles, saw their incompetence and calculations, and was young at the time, so I said such things. However, I have never changed, and I will not become one until now." noble."
Linn suddenly thought of something else, "Do other senior knights have the same idea as you? I am referring to your analogy between humans and animals."
Matthew thought for a while, "I have come into contact with many knights, some of whom have devout beliefs and some who have pan-beliefs. Their ideas are similar to mine, but there is one difference. The former often serve in the churches of the God of Knights in various places, and the latter The person is no longer so single.”
"What about the followers of other gods?"
"Pretty much, because I haven't come into contact with many people of other faiths."
Lin En understood clearly, "I understand. People with deeper beliefs are full of gods. In their bones, they no longer regard themselves as human beings. They have broken away from the category of human beings and are in a semi-god and semi-human stage. But gods are Where did it come from?”
Matthew replied, "I don't know about other gods, but the god of knights is said to be a person who finally becomes a god after continuous practice."
"God ascends step by step from man, so does that mean that everyone can become a god?" Lin En put forward his own point of view.
Matthew was shocked, "You can't say this kind of thing. If those churches hear it, they will define you as a cultist and burn you at the stake."
Even though Matthew is a man of universal faith and looks down on nobles, he does not dare to provoke the church. Those church members usually look normal. Once someone insults the gods, they will pounce on them like madmen, no, mad dogs. The opponent tore into pieces.
Lin En understood what Matthew said. The church was powerful and would never allow anyone to slander the gods. In the eyes of church members, people were divided into levels, ordinary people, nobles, and extraordinary people. As for serfs, they were not even human beings.
But Lin En still felt that his point of view was right. He couldn't help but raise his head. If it is said that other gods became gods through continuous practice, then does it mean that no new gods have appeared for such a long time? It's because they have a monopoly on this channel.
Lynn didn't say this. Regardless of whether Matthew believed it or not, this view would definitely make him doubt his life.
A new question arises. If God monopolizes the path, how did the knights come into being? Or is it that God just blocked the final door to becoming a god?
Lin En was puzzled. He couldn't discuss this matter with others, because he was probably the only one without faith.
Lynn took the initiative to change the topic and looked at Matthew, "Miles has become a knight, and the town is constantly developing. Now an ordinary person has begun to gather the seeds of life. The other serfs rely on the work point system and work hard to earn money. Get work points, exchange for food, everyone is changing, what about you.”
This is an opportunity. Linn knows that Matthew is in an agitated mood now. He will use this opportunity to pry open Matthew's heart and let him tell his story.
"Yeah, me." Matthew murmured.
"Don't you want to say something, like about the curse?" Linn asked.
Matthew breathed out, "I can see that you really want to know the reason for the curse on me."
Lin En was speechless and waited quietly, thinking in her heart, nonsense, only by understanding the process can I help you get rid of the curse.
In addition, he also wants to see if his guess is right or wrong.
Matthew spoke slowly and said what was pressing in his heart.
He was very high-spirited and attracted the attention of countless nobles, who all wanted to make him their guardian knight, but he would not agree at all. Even the leaders of many large churches of the God of Knights sent him olive branches. I hope that the other person can enter the church and will definitely hold an important position.
However, Matthew himself does not have a deep belief in the God of Knights. He wants to fight with more strong men, which is commonly known as a battle maniac. It is with this idea that he and knights, warriors, mages, Assassins and even wizards were found to fight.
Later, he was not satisfied with humans, and went to fight with elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. He also thought about looking for dragons, but he couldn't find them.
In the process of constant fighting, he also did some other things. For example, he couldn't stand the behavior of some nobles. He not only destroyed but even killed several nobles.
The crime of killing a noble was quite serious, but he was a senior knight, and ordinary knights were no match for him, until he was tricked and he was cursed.
