Chapter 173 'Baptism'

As we all know, naturally awakened knights are far higher in talent than knights who have been 'baptized', and the younger the naturally awakened knights, the greater their potential.

The most famous one is the King Xiti!

Awakened naturally at the age of six, and became a gold-level powerhouse at the age of nineteen.

Although Dean did not have such a level, he still showed his own future. The last time a naturally awakened knight appeared in Vauban County was twenty years ago: twenty-year-old Shiva, who had naturally awakened and became a bit knight.

And after these twenty years, Shiva has become a silver.

Dean is two years younger than Shiva, and if Shiva can become silver, so can Dean!

In addition, Shiva's awakened talent is only a medium talent of 'body', while Dean is a high-level talent that relies on 'elements'. After comparing the two, everyone present looked at Dean with anticipation, and ……fear.

Expectant: Lady of Baron Tyre's family, Baron Zendo.

Those to be feared: Bishop de Hall, Baron de Fendi.

As for Baron Jail?

The other party, who was stunned by the bloody scene before, is still not awake at this moment.

Naturally, it was ignored by Dean.

"Do you think the baptismal tester needs to be replaced?"

Dean turned around and looked at Baron Defendy with a smile.

"When... no, no need!"

Baron Defendi subconsciously wanted to agree and continue to make things difficult for Dean. However, the next moment the baron reacted, he shook his head again and again.

If you change the baptismal appraiser, isn't that questioning the Marquis of Vauban?

As the other party's lord. Even if it is malicious. Baron Defendi would never dare to show it so blatantly.

Dean ignored the baron again. He turned and looked at Higgs, one of his goals for the day, on the other side.

However, before Dean opened his mouth, the Bishop De Hall stood up——

"Master Marquis,

The time for the 'baptism' ceremony has been delayed, I think it should start as soon as possible! "

The bishop looked at Higgs as he spoke.

Immediately, the latter quickly came to the bishop. Kneeling down on one knee, a small silver bowl appeared in the hands of the bishop at some point. The bishop tapped the 'holy water' in the bowl with his fingertips and sprinkled it on Higgs' body, and then, A series of prayers were issued.

Dean was taken aback, apparently he didn't expect that the other party would start the baptism just like that!

However, the next moment. Dean's heart raised a deep vigilance here.

An opponent who is not bound by face and honor, no doubt. Even more difficult to deal with.

Especially, when the number of this enemy is plural.

"Dean, come here!"

The Marquis of Vauban cast a contemptuous look at his old opponent, then turned his head and said kindly to Dean.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Dean walked up to the Marquis of Vauban, and also knelt on the ground on one knee. However, the Marquis of Vauban did not take out the so-called holy water, but drew out his own sword, and lightly placed the side of the sword spine on Dean. On the shoulders of Eun--

"Dean Ken, can you keep your honor and dignity in mind, and remember justice and loyalty?"

The Marquis of Vauban asked solemnly.

"can!"

Dean, who had experienced it once, answered it simply.

"In the face of evil and tyranny, can you face it bravely, and even have the heart of sacrifice?"

The Marquis of Vauban put the spine of the sword from Dean's left shoulder to his right shoulder, and the voice sounded again.

"can!"

Dean's answer was still crisp.

"Congratulations, Dean Ken. From now on, you will be one of the most loyal knights under the King of the Emerald Kingdom!"

After the spine of the Marquis Vauban's sword was slightly above Dean's head, he put the sword back into its sheath, and then, from a personal standpoint, said softly to Dean: "Congratulations!"

"thanks!"

Dean responded, apparently because of the previous duel, the Marquis of Vauban, who had drawn him closer again.

Then, the Marquis of Vauban gestured to his chief guard: "Shiva, lead Knight Dean Ken to the christening room!"

The ceremony of "knight baptism" is roughly divided into two parts: front and back.

Before, the Marquis of Vauban and Dean had a question and answer, a process similar to an oath was the first half.

And the second half?

Naturally, they swallowed their respective 'Knight Baptism' potions. Originally, this should have been prepared by the Marquis of Vauban, but obviously, neither Dean nor Higgs needed it.

Dean has the gift of the Grand Duchess.

And Higgs has de Hall in preparation.

"I will stay outside, if something happens, you just need to shout it out!"

Shiva stood at the door of a room, instructing Dean.

Although the Silver Knight didn't think that anything would happen to Dean, and it was even impossible for him to fail; however, his sense of responsibility made him do so subconsciously.

"Thank you for everything!"

When Dean walked into the room, he expressed his gratitude to the Silver Knight.

Then, in the nod of the other party, he walked into the room prepared for the "Knight Baptism" - the room is not big, except for the aisle where people can walk sideways, there is only a single Beds, nothing else, not even a window.

Dean lit the candle—the candle, stuck in a candlestick hanging on the wall, as thick as a child's arm, provided enough light for the entire room the moment it was lit.

Taking out the potion gifted by the Grand Duchess, Dean opened the box——

A small glass test tube the size of an adult's index finger appeared in the box, and a translucent and semi-golden liquid echoed in it as Dean moved.

Without hesitation, Dean uncorked the bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.

The cold liquid went down the throat, but when it reached the stomach, it turned into a warm feeling. A soothing and relaxing feeling rose from the bottom of Dean's heart, making him want to sleep subconsciously idea.

However, the next moment, Dean clenched his fists and concentrated his will to resist the drowsiness.

This is a test of the 'Knight Baptism' potion!

Although the 'baptism' can be completed in a deep sleep state, but in a awake state, more benefits will be obtained.

Of course, this is the 'first time' that Dean took the 'Knight Baptism' potion, and the situation is much better than before rebirth - you know, before rebirth, Dean, who took the 'Knight Baptism' potion many times, has already It's not about resisting the onslaught of sleepiness anymore, it's about the pain, the kind of pain that comes from the depths of the bone marrow.

The drowsiness came from light, turned into a fierce attack, then weakened again, and then became violent again.

After going back and forth three times, the drowsiness began to disappear completely.

And when the drowsiness completely disappeared, warm currents began to burst out from all over Dean's body, swirling and coiling in his body——

【Discover unknown energy...】

[Discrimination: Appropriate body strengthening, potential stimulating essence]

[Judgment can be integrated, absorbed...]

【Begin to integrate, absorb...】

[The five attributes of strength, agility, constitution, perception, and will start to be judged...]

【judgment passed】

[All attributes +0.3]

[Potential is stimulated, talent is being unlocked...]

[Acquire strength talent—power burst lv4]

[Acquire agility talent - agility burst lv3]

[Acquire physical talent - tough physique lv4]

[Acquire Perception Talent——Heart of Vigilance Lv2]

[Acquire the talent of will - Iron Heart lv4]

As the warm currents circled around, messages began to appear on Dean's character panel.

Looking at the [All Attributes + 0.3] and the talents corresponding to the five attributes, Dean expressed surprise at first, but then shook his head and smiled wryly.

Even if any attribute reaches 2, it already has the qualifications to stimulate knight talent.

However, the talents that are inspired are not for you to choose, but are judged according to your own situation.

Even if your attribute value is far beyond 2, there will be no change. The only thing that changes is the level of talent obtained. When any attribute reaches 2, the knight baptism is successful, and the lv1 talent is activated. When it reaches 2.5 , the success of the baptism of the knight will stimulate the lv2 talent, and so on.

On Secret Magic Island, Dean, who has read the knight talent book, knows the above situation clearly.

At the same time, he also expects to change himself and inspire a high-level talent or two.

However, the result is undoubtedly disappointing. Although the talents corresponding to the five attributes are all stimulated, there is not any advanced talent.

[Strength Explosion] and [Agility Explosion] can only be regarded as basic talents.

And [Tough Physique], [Vigilant Heart] and [Spirit of Steel] can be regarded as middle-level talents. However, except for [Tough Physique], the remaining two talents are only below the middle-level talents.

"It's better than [resisting the virus]?"

Dean comforted himself in this way.

"Sure enough, the effect of the royal family's potion is beyond imagination - none of the 'baptism potions' I used before can increase the attribute by more than 0.2; however, the royal family's 'baptism potion' can't reach the level of continuous repeated use... ... My current physique, before reaching 5, is not enough to support me to undergo another 'baptism', and there is no royal family's 'baptism potion' for me to use. If it is just a normal 'baptism potion', the added attributes , if it is converted into the erased attribute, it is really a disadvantage!"

Scanning the message of [All attributes +0.3], Dean thought silently.

Afterwards, his eyes naturally set on those newly emerging talents.
