This knight is too perfect

Chapter 58: New Protection... Glory (Uncrowned Crown) [14]

"So, the lady is angry with you for this reason...?"

"Yes, Mr. Jeter."

"Um……"

Jet looked at Rhine in the room with a look of self-blame on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After all, in his opinion, Lilitha's reasons for being angry were both reasonable and unreasonable.

Because if he were replaced by Rhine, he would not be able to immediately understand the important meaning contained in Lilith's "new promise".

Can Rhine be blamed for this?

Miss, are you angry now?

At this moment, Jet's face was full of question marks.

But after being confused, Jet suddenly felt that this unreasonable thing happening to Lilith was quite reasonable.

Because of Lilitha's special growing environment and acquired education.

This has caused her to develop a mindset that is almost absolutely rational, always considering interests as the basis for everything.

How could a normal person think about such a profound question?

How can we quantify the "value of life" and use it as a standard to measure bargaining chips?

Therefore, in Jet's opinion, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Rhine.

Of course, this isn't Lilith's fault.

After all, Jet couldn't blame his master, right?
Otherwise it would be too against Tiangang.

Thinking of this, Jet couldn't help but patted Rhine on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, kid, thank you for your help."

Rhine: “…”

Facing Jeter who was looking at him with an extremely 'sympathetic' expression.

Rhine couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jeter, do you think I should go and apologize to Miss Lilysa now?"

"After all, she had fully conveyed her goodwill to me, but I was so stupid that I not only did not respond, but also failed her kindness to a certain extent."

"If I apologize now, maybe Miss Lilysa will forgive my ignorant offense."

"Forehead……"

I heard that Rhine was still blaming me.

After thinking for a moment, Jet came up with a relatively safe solution.

"Don't be impatient, kid. I know you are in a hurry, but don't be impatient. Let me go and find out the situation for you first, and then you can decide whether to apologize at this time."

"After all, even though I have been with the young lady for many years, I often cannot figure out what she is thinking. Now may not be a good time to go there."

"But you can rest assured, because based on my many years of experience, this is not a big problem."

"So you don't have to think too much, just take a good rest and wait for my good news."

Hearing the professional words from Jet, a professional, Rhine immediately chose to obey.

After all, no matter from which perspective, Jet knows Lilitha better than himself.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jeter."

"Small things."

After briefly understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Jet left Rhine's room.

After he left, Rhine closed the door and went to the balcony alone.

After all, Rhine is no longer the slave who only needs to live in the stable or the militia dormitory.

He already has his own room in the castle and is a true knight of the castle.

On the balcony, Rhine looked out at the thorny town at the foot of the castle mountain and fell into deep thought.

Today, the town of Thorn is not only devastated, but also filled with confusion and sadness.

And all of this was because of the scarlet feast that swept across most of the Thorn Territory.

Thinking back on what happened during this period, Rhine didn't think that he was so great just because he was lucky enough to survive.

After all, people who were more powerful than him died in this feast.

Therefore, he believed that the biggest reason why he was able to survive this turmoil was just two words...luck.

It was also in Rhine that he received the "Knight's Badge" bestowed by Baron Angelo, and after the information about him was delivered to the royal capital and received a response today.

Rhine found that his "Knight System", which had not changed for a long time, had finally changed. [After hard work and a little luck, you became a "Knight" in the eyes of the world, and you initially gained your own "Glory"...]

[Glory (Uncrowned Crown): You who possess glory have the 'Uncrowned Crown' bestowed by the world. Although it is invisible and intangible, it really exists. The firm determination to defend this 'glory' enables you to use your own 'glory' to exert a certain degree of 'pressure' on the enemy. The effect and range of the pressure depend on the current amount of 'glory' obtained and your own extraordinary level.]

[Description: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Glory is both a reward... and a kind of restriction. ]

The new knight's protection: Glory (Uncrowned Crown), this is the new virtue that Rhine unlocked after officially becoming a knight.

This is different from the powerful learning and analytical ability brought about by 'humility (absolute focus)'.

The ability to distinguish true from false through 'honesty (sense of truth)'.

The powerful information acquisition effect of 'Mercy (Listen to Everything)'.

'Glory (Uncrowned Crown)' is a negligible improvement for Rhine at the moment.

Because those enemies that he could suppress with the 'Crownless Crown', Rhine could also easily defeat with other means.

As for those enemies that cannot be suppressed by his "Crownless Crown", Rhine does not need this knight's protection.

Therefore, compared with the previous three knight protections, 'Glory (Uncrowned Crown)' is just a knight protection suitable for 'bullying weaklings' for Rhine at present.

But is this protection really so useless?
Rhine doesn't think so.

Because a person's "glory" is not static.

Correspondingly, the pressure generated by Rhine's 'uncrowned crown' can not always be used to 'bully the weak'.

As long as the "glory" he obtained reached a certain level, Rhine felt that it would be fine even if he did not obtain the so-called "extraordinary path".

Just relying on this so-called "glorious pressure", he was able to suppress most of the extraordinary people.

To achieve an effect similar to the 'Haoshoku Haki' in an anime in his previous life.

But it is just as described in the system.

Glory is not only a compliment, but also a constraint.

If Rhine fails to protect this honor in the future, or if he does something that goes against this honor.

The glory he gains today will become shackles that judge him tomorrow.

And is he...really worthy of this honor?
Rhine looked at the sparsely lit town of Thorn below, his eyes filled with confusion.

Because the more he understands this world, the more he will understand how huge this world is and how difficult it is to protect this glory.

However, Rhine's confusion did not last long, and he quickly cheered up.

Rhine looked at the exclusive knight's emblem in his hand, which had recorded the imprint of his soul, and held it tightly.

"Since I have chosen to embark on the path of knighthood, all the confusion and hesitation are meaningless to me, because knights have no choice but to move forward."

"Besides, perhaps I am just like what Miss Lilisha said. I have never taken my life seriously, nor have I understood the importance of my life."

"After all, if even I, who possesses these talents, cannot protect this honor, then there are few people in this world who can protect it."

"The virtue of a knight is humility, not inferiority..."

Having said this, Rhine seemed to understand something completely. The confusion in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by an indescribable firmness.

Then Rhine raised his head and looked towards the upper left side of the room where Lilitha was.

"Ms. Lilisha, I think now I understand the real reason why you are angry. Rhine... has benefited a lot from it."

At the same time, Lilisha, who was reading in the room, seemed to hear something.

Not only did her originally cold expression soften a lot, but a barely perceptible smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This scene happened to be seen by Jet who had just returned.

This made Jet doubt his judgment before going out.

"Could it be that the young lady is really reading a book?"

'Otherwise, why do I suddenly feel that the lady's mood has improved a lot? '

Thinking of this, Jet suddenly became curious about the knight novel in Lilitha's hand.

After all, he really wanted to know what kind of knight novel could make Lilitha put so much thought into it and look like she had gained something from it.

It's impossible that what is written in this knight novel is not some clichéd and simple story at all, but some profound, mysterious and extraordinary knowledge?
With such curiosity, Jet wrote down the title of the novel and prepared to go back and read it himself.

There's no way, this is what an Extraordinary person is like. On the one hand, they are restrained towards the unknown, but on the other hand, they are full of curiosity about the unknown.

PS: Fat Tiger got off work late today, which resulted in less time to write. I will try to finish the remaining three chapters before noon, and then upload two chapters before noon.
