Chapter 321: A person with a mystery!

"Later, after Constantine was selected as a new Paladin, the Knights held a simple and grand ceremony. The Bishop personally handed a rebuilt holy sword to Constantine, and Constantine also accepted the pope's separate reception. Everyone was proud and envious... I was very impressed. On the second day of the ceremony, Constantine did not come to the Knights. When he became a Paladin, he would not come to the Knights, but directly served the Pope. The next day, at the Knights' training ground, everyone was summoned to welcome the arrival of new knights. We thought it was strange at that time that the Knights usually only select new members every few years, and the Knights' organization maintained a certain number of people, and they would not select too many students, but that year was not the arrival of the regular new students.

What makes us even more strange is that... that time, there was only one new student, and it was brought by two cardinals himself. Generally, a grand ceremony was brought by several cardinals to bring new students to the present. There was only one possibility that the new student was the son of a paladin who had just passed away. In order to inherit his father's glory, he was trained to become a knight. In order to respect the dead paladin, the cardinal was only then. But that time, the situation was obviously not like this. The new member that came that time was not a pure white man. Or, he looked like an Asian! And because I have loved Western culture since I was a child and have learned Chinese with the Eastern martial arts teacher in the church, I accidentally heard him say a Chinese."

He suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei: "Guess what he was talking about?"

"How can I guess?" Xiao Lei rolled his eyes.

"What he said at the time was: It seems that this world of light is not much better than the world of darkness." Ye Buqun shook his head and said, "I am the only one who heard this sentence. Because I was working hard to learn Chinese at that time, I heard it. Later... the Bishop announced that he hoped to assess this person, and his name was m DuPont. The Cardinal said that the Pope meant that he hoped that he could enter the Knights and become a glorious knight."

"When I said it, I was rejected by almost all the Knights mentors. The Bishop who came out to hold the Knights was extremely strongly opposed and asked to see His Majesty the Pope immediately. You may not know that even if the Pope ordered, you could not just get into the Knights. Because for thousands of years, the Knights were a completely independent system. Anyone who wanted to enter the Knights must pass strict selection and assessment, otherwise, even the Pope could not order any membership of the Knights. Even the descendants of the Paladins could not directly enter the Knights. If the assessment failed, they would still be eliminated. Everyone at that time opposed it. The M DuPont stood by, his expression was very calm and had no fluctuations at all, but I could feel that his eyes were a little disdainful, and even... sneered."

He suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei and smiled, "To be honest, when I first met you, I really felt that you looked like that guy when you smiled. You might be the same type of people."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lei was anxious to know what was going on.

"Then... the Cardinal who brought him here said that the Pope did not want to interfere with the internal affairs of the Knights, but was just a recommendation person. The Knights can assess and select this person on their own. Just like other students, they can conduct assessments. Only after they pass all aspects can they be qualified as members of the Knights."

"Then, let's test him?"

Ye Buqun recalled for a while and smiled bitterly: "Now I can say something fairly... That time was not an assessment at all, it was simply a malicious strait! It seems that the mentors of the Knights were unwilling to let someone from other races enter the Knights, deliberately increasing the standards by almost dozens of times... I must say that I had passed the assessment a few years ago and became a knight student of the Knights. But if I were asked to participate in such an assessment again, even if my strength was increased ten times at that time, I would definitely not be able to pass it."

"The first assessment was willpower. It was originally necessary to do both courage and perseverance, but that guy passed it quickly. The Knights' assessment was to invite a magician to illusion and magic on him, so that he could feel fear, and a scene of fear was transformed into his mind. I remember when I was under the assessment, I was hypnotized, as if I saw more than a dozen huge strange snakes attacking me and then biting me..." Ye Buqun breathed: "I persisted for five minutes at that time. Later I fainted. I must tell you that this hallucination is very realistic, including the feeling of pain! When I was under the assessment, I could clearly feel my body was bitten by a snake, and that kind of heart-wrenching pain! That kind of pain is very strong and real!"

"I don't know what the willpower assessment of that M DuPont was. But I remember that it was very difficult to hypnotize him at the beginning. The magician in the Knights could not hypnotize him at all! Because his willpower was too strong. The magician at the beginning not only failed to hypnotize him, but was hit by magic and fell into the hallucination he arranged, and ran away on the spot. Later, it was said that he slept for a full week before he woke up. Later, he changed the two magicians in the Knights, and there was no way. If according to the rules, his willpower was already strong enough to compete with the magician's hallucination magic, then he was completely unnecessary.

The test was again. However, because of the selfish intentions of the Knights, he insisted on the assessment, and finally changed to a magician of the highest level of the Knights. The Cardinal who brought him also pulled him aside and said something a few words, which successfully hypnotized him. I believe that he should have given up the resistance of willpower. Otherwise, I suspect that the high-level magician could not hypnotize him. But then... almost everyone was shocked! Because not only did he not cry or fear, he kept laughing from beginning to end! He smiled very happily, as if he was not seeing some terrifying scenes in the environment, or as if he could not feel pain at all... as if he was watching a funny movie!

At that time, the entire training ground was silent, and everyone looked at him as if they were looking at monsters. He was the only one on the field, closing his eyes and laughing. In the end, the bishop of the Knights could not bear to watch and signaled that the magician could stop. Then, without any dispute, he passed the assessment. And he actually said another sentence..."

"What did he say?"

"He said to the magician... Thank you, I have never had such a pleasant dream." Ye Buqun's expression was a little helpless.

"Then can it?" Xiao Lei was silent for a few seconds and asked again.

"Then there is a basic physical fitness assessment. Generally speaking, for new selectors, the lower knights of the Knights will be allowed to conduct basic assessments of the agility, strength, speed, etc. for the selectors. If a child without a basic martial arts foundation is a physical examination. For those selectors of the Knight family, a lower knight will fight him... Of course, it is not a real fight, but like the master teaches his apprentice to feed his tricks, or the lower knights use swords and the selectors defend. Or, in turn, as long as the knight recognizes the talent and conditions of the selector, even if he passes it, unexpectedly, the guy refused the physical examination very firmly. The Cardinal also said that he does not need to undergo a physical examination. Just ask a knight to come out to the field to evaluate him. If he can pass the Knight's assessment, then there is no need for a physical examination.

As a result, shocked by the results of the willpower assessment, the mentors of the Knights made some tricks again. The one who came to the scene to test him was not a low-level knight... but a very powerful knight!"

"No need to ask... According to your tone, he must have passed again. How strong is the knight you mentioned who is very strong in his assessment?"

"I don't know." Ye Buqun smiled bitterly: "I have never fought with him. But he is really strong, there is no doubt about it!"

"Why?" Xiao Lei frowned.

The answer was not Ye Buqun, but an old voice behind him, saying loudly: "Because I can prove it!"

While speaking, Constantine walked out of the room. Under the night, his expression was solemn and his eyes were a little gloomy.

"You're coming out too?" Ye Buqun smiled.

"You guys are fighting so loudly outside, how can I sleep?" Constantine seemed a little unconscious, sat next to the two of them, looked at Xiao Lei: "Why did you suddenly come and ask about that M DuPont?"

"I'll tell you later, but now can you tell me what happened to him that day?"

"I can't explain clearly, because I was not there that day." Constantine's answer surprised Little Lei a little.

But then he changed his subject: "Although I'm not here, I can tell you something you want to know."

He suddenly reached out and untied his shirt and clothes, revealing a two-finger-wide scar on the left side of his chest! It was obviously stabbed out by a sword! The wound seemed to have been many years, but it was obviously very serious back then, so now it seems that it is still shocking!

"At that time, the Knight who was assessing M DuPont was a senior Knight, and just one month before the test, I had a competition with him, which was to compete for the qualification of the Paladin. He and I were the last two candidates! We both defeated our respective opponents before, and in the end we were the only two of us left to compete. I remember very clearly that in the competition with him, I fought very hard, and the scar on my chest was given to me! Fortunately, I was slightly off a few centimeters, otherwise, if I stabbed my heart directly, I would have died! Later, I fought with him for three hours before barely defeating him. But I was lucky because he had suffered a bit of serious injury in the previous competition and had not healed, so I could beat him. To be fair, if he was in good condition, I might not be able to win."

Little Lei took a deep breath and looked carefully at the scar on Constantine's chest: "You became a Paladin because you beat that knight?"

"Yes!"

"Oh my God." Xiao Lei smiled bitterly: "So don't it mean that that knight actually has the strength close to the Paladin?! The Knights actually used a person with Paladin's strength to test a new student? It would be too outrageous to cheat to do this, right?"

"In order to maintain the bloodline of the Knights, it is normal to use some means." Ye Buqun said in anger: "But strangely, the Cardinal did not object to the Knight at that time. I remember now that he knew the strength of the Knight, but he did not object. There may be two reasons. First, he personally did not want to see a person from other races enter the Knights. It was just because of the Pope's order that he came to fill the scene. So he deliberately acquiesced to the cheating behavior of the Knights. Second, he knew the strength of the M DuPont and was fearless!"

"Then what?"

"Then... DuPont chose to attack and let the cavalry defend. Then, under the gaze of dozens of eyes around him, he took action... I must say that I didn't even see his movements clearly at that time, and saw a figure shaking. He seemed to have been standing there without moving... But the cavalry didn't even have time to react... He had already cut a hole in his face with his sword!

Everyone was shocked. Because even though everyone thought that he might have some strength, he injured the knight with one move and stabbed him in the face, it was simply a humiliation! As a result, the knight was furious and, in anger, ignored all the assessments and other things! The two of them actually started to fight in the venue with real swords and guns!

The two cardinals were also shocked, as if they wanted to stop them, but the two fought fiercely and refused to separate... It was only five minutes long before the winner was decided! The knight was angry and had already used his true strength, and actually used the "Holy Light Cross Sword"! There was amazement at the time, and everyone thought that DuPont was dead now...and then...and..."

"Then what?" Xiao Lei asked immediately.

"Then... that knight was killed by him!" Ye Buqun stared at Xiao Lei's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Do you know, he only used one sword, and one sword pierced the knight's throat! Moreover, his sword broke the knight's Holy Light Cross Slash head-on, and then passed through his sword energy, hitting the throat with one sword! It was as fast as light!" Taking a breath, he added: "What he used was the action I had just used... the easiest and most basic, a 'spit' action in swordsmanship."

Xiao Lei finally changed color: "You said he... he killed an opponent with a Paladin-level strength in just a few minutes?"

Constantine suddenly smiled bitterly from the side, "I fought with the Knight for more than two hours before I could barely win. It only took a few minutes for that DuPont."

Ye Buqun said: "The scene became chaotic later. Several knights jumped out of the field at the same time and went to rescue the knight, but it was too late. Some people attacked him in anger, but no one could resist his sword... He knocked down several knights in a moment, and then jumped to the Cardinal. At this time, the Cardinal finally calmed down from the shock, shouted loudly, and controlled the scene.

Then, we young students were taken out of the training ground. When I left, it was still very chaotic. It seemed that the Cardinal wanted to take DuPont away. But a group of Knights surrounded them and did not allow them to leave... It was almost a mutiny! Because I had left, I did not see what happened next with my own eyes... Afterwards, I learned from other ways that DuPont had left alive and was not left by the Knights. And what happened that day

There are various versions of love, and there are several different statements... Some say that the Cardinal ordered the order to stop the Knights' people from taking action and forcibly took the DuPont away. Some say... Hey... it was DuPont who took action alone, defeating more than a dozen high-level knights of the Knights' order, and then leaving! Of course, I cannot be sure of the truth of the matter. But this matter became a great humiliation of the Knights' order, and everyone was banned from mentioning that person's name... and what happened that day."

Xiao Lei was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help but say loudly: "This... this is too bizarre, right? How could a boy of a few years have the ability to easily kill a Paladin's opponent? And it's a fair fight in front and for a long time! Can you defeat several knights one by one? Are your knights all made of paper?"

Ye Buqun's face looked a little ugly: "Who said he was only a few years old? I was ten years old back then, and did he look... Although there is a difference in the development time between Orientals and Westerners, he looks at least four or five years older than me!!"

Only then did Xiao Lei really change color: "What did you say? It's bigger than you?"

Ye Buqun nodded: "I am 35 years old this year. So, DuPont should be about forty years old now."

"Impossible!!" Xiao Lei immediately stood up and said suspiciously: "Are we not talking about the same person?"

He immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms and got a piece of Ximen's information from Lei Hu, with a photo on it.

"Look, is it him?"
