This knight is too perfect

Chapter 10 The Guide

Although he had already vaguely guessed why Fergus had asked him to come here.

But when Fergus really said in person that he wanted Rhine to come into contact with the "extraordinary world", Rhine couldn't help but get a little excited.

But the excitement was only temporary, and calmness soon took over Rhine's mind again.

Soon, Rhine returned to calm.

"I am ready, Master Fergus."

Seeing that Rhine could still force himself to calm down at this time, Fergus couldn't help but praise him.

"Little Rhine, you are indeed special, very special. Whether it is your innate terrifying intuition or your amazing, almost monstrous swordsmanship talent, they are all what knights dream of."

"And I thought this was all you had, but just now I discovered that you actually have a precious quality that knights also desire but cannot obtain, and that quality is restraint."

"Little Rhine, do you know what is the most dangerous thing in the Extraordinary World?"

Rhine thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"It should be the unknown, Lord Fergus. After all, the unknown is often accompanied by danger."

"..."

Fergus was surprised, because he thought that Rhine, who had never been exposed to the extraordinary world, would not be able to guess the answer.

But now Rhine not only guessed it, but also described it very accurately.

Could it be that Rhine had received extraordinary education, or had he come into contact with extraordinary people?

But none of this matters.

Because Fergus was very sure that Rhine was now a complete mortal, without any "extraordinary characteristics" in him.

Therefore, even if Rhine had known or come into contact with Feifan before, it would not affect his subsequent "education".

After all, those who have not truly stepped into the extraordinary world cannot understand the mysteries contained therein.

However, Fergus was not in a hurry to tell Rhine about how to enter the extraordinary state.

Instead, he first talked about three very important principles in the extraordinary world.

"Little Rhine, before I teach you the secret method of entering the extraordinary world, I need to tell you three extraordinary rules. Although these three rules are not necessary, they are the iron laws summed up by countless extraordinary people with their lives. You must abide by them as much as possible."

"Extraordinary Rule 1: Never underestimate any Extraordinary, because you can never guess what the other party has in their hand, even if the other party looks as weak as a wild dog."

"Extraordinary Rule 2: Never offend any god, because you can never imagine how powerful the gods are. Gods... cannot be insulted."

“Extraordinary Rule 3: Always be vigilant and restrained about the unknown, because the unknown represents not only opportunities, but also huge and unpredictable dangers.”

"Little Rhine, do you know which of these three rules is violated by the most people?"

Without any need to think, Rhine answered almost instinctively: "It should be the third one, Lord Fergus."

Fergus nodded: "Yes, that's the third one."

Fergus raised his head and said with a complicated look in his eyes, "It's not difficult to stay alert to the unknown. Many Beyonders can do it."

"But it is extremely difficult to maintain restraint in the face of the unknown. It is so difficult that the final destination of almost every extraordinary person is death on the road of seeking the unknown."

“Although I haven’t reached this point yet, I have personally witnessed a talented companion die on the road of curiosity and exploration of the unknown.”

“You should know that the boundary between curiosity and greed is often blurred. Once you step into the trap of greed, your future is doomed to be full of danger.”

"Little Rhine, promise me that you will maintain your current 'restraint'. It is more valuable than your intuition and your swordsmanship talent."

Looking at Fergus's serious expression, Rhine responded seriously.

"Lord Fergus, always remain humble. This is the best restraint of a knight."

Fergus was stunned for a moment, then looked at Rhine with more admiration.

It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Rhine's answer, very, very satisfied.

"That's right. A knight who always remains humble is always exercising maximum restraint."

"Little Rhine, you really didn't disappoint me. You are a natural born, perfect knight. No one is more suitable for the path of knighthood than you."

"I can't wait to see the day when you step into the extraordinary world, because I believe that on that day, you will become extremely bright and dazzling." "Even if the light of dawn is dim, it is enough to illuminate the darkness covering the earth. Rhine, I see that light in you."

Rhine didn't expect Fergus to think so highly of him, and he immediately said modestly: "You are too kind, Lord Fergus."

Hearing this, Fergus laughed out loud his signature laugh again, as if he had heard a joke.

“Reputation? Hahaha, no, this is not a reputation, but the honesty from a prospective knight of the Principality of Morton. It is what I say from the bottom of my heart.”

"Little Rhine, I am very clear-headed now, clearer than ever before. I firmly believe that day will come and it will come soon."

"For this, I am willing to bet everything I have and give all my chips."

"So, little Rhine, please don't let me down, please, please..."

Faced with Fergus's heavy "trust", Rhine felt inexplicably "heavy".

He placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to Fergus in a standard knight's salute.

"Rhine, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Hahaha, okay, I feel relieved when you say that."

After he finished speaking, Fergus's expression became extremely serious.

He drew the sword from his waist and held it upright in front of him, saying solemnly: "Now, I, Fergus, the quasi-knight from the Thorn Territory of the Principality of Morton, will serve as the guide of Rhine Simons and lead him into the extraordinary and explore the extraordinary."

As Fergus dropped the sword on Rhine's head, an ancient ritual that had been passed down from ancient times to the present day was completely completed.

And from that day on, Fergus was Rhine's guide, leading him on the extraordinary path.

"Okay little Rhine, the ceremony is complete."

"Now let me tell you about this extraordinary origin and what you need to do to truly step into this world."

"Little Rhine, do you know why I said before that even if you swing your sword like that for your whole life, you will never be a true knight?"

Rhine shook his head and honestly said that he didn't know the reason.

"It's simple, because a sword swung by a mortal is, after all, just a mortal."

"Even if you hone your swordsmanship to perfection, you can only achieve the limits of a mortal."

"While this is not bad, it is far from extraordinary."

"If you want to cross the huge wall between mortals and extraordinary people, you need to swing the sword, but you can't just swing the sword."

"And now you only need one crucial thing to cross that high wall. This thing is the root of 'extraordinary', and its name is... Source."

"There has always been a consensus in the extraordinary world that the world is composed of 'seven source substances', and a large number of extraordinary paths have been differentiated from them."

"The seven essences are: Holy Light, Netherworld, Life, Soul, Elements, Desire, and the most mysterious destiny."

"Although I would like to give you more choices, unfortunately, I currently only have mastered three extraordinary paths, and they are all incomplete."

"One is an elemental knight with life as the main and element as the secondary."

"One is a knight of punishment whose primary focus is life and secondary focus is desire."

"As for the last one, it is the Knight of Fate of pure fate."

"The first two are the knight paths that currently exist in the Principality of Morton and have a complete promotion sequence."

"The latter is an ancient path that I accidentally obtained during an adventure. There is no subsequent method to upgrade it."

"Before I teach you the training method of the Knight Path, I need to first detect what is the source essence that is most suitable for you."

"After all, the priority of source essence is very important. It not only represents the starting point of the Beyonder, but also, to a certain extent, represents their end point."

"Come on, stretch out your hand, fate will give you guidance and lead you to the path that suits you best."

Hearing this, Rhine nodded and stretched out his hand...

PS: My supervisor suddenly requested a meeting, which caused Fat Tiger to leave work much later today. The update is a little late, sorry.
