After entering the Knight Academy, the first thing to do is "baptism", that is, drinking the sacred spring and soaking in the holy pool, and then you can accumulate sacred fighting energy through breathing methods.
The so-called holy springs and holy pools are water in which saint crystal powder is dissolved. It is a white translucent crystal with a brittle texture and slightly soluble in water at room temperature. It is usually buried deep underground, but it is not too rare. It was finally created by the church. Naming them, they claimed that they were "tears of God" and the gods' mercy towards humans.
According to what Captain Gray told Karen, when this kind of crystal was discovered by humans from the collapsed mountain about 1,500 years ago, people only regarded it as a kind of jade-like ornament. Although it is not rare, it is Because it is difficult to process, finished jewelry is also expensive.
Later, some women who wore crystal bracelets died suddenly and miserably after taking a hot bath, and people gradually discovered that it was "poisonous."
After that, the "tears of God" gradually became a deadly poison, like arsenic. Since it is colorless and odorless, as long as a little powder is sprinkled into the drink, the drinker's meridians and blood vessels will burst and die within a day or two.
It became contraband, and conspirators loved it because it was cheap and easy to use. Later, something very dramatic happened. After someone was "poisoned", not only did he not die, but he became more alive, healthier and stronger, and was "inhuman".
That person was the famous "Light of the Morning" in the history books, a illegitimate son of a shady nobleman, the first real "knight" in human history. Who would have thought that he should have been an unlucky guy who was poisoned to death.
Soon after, several similar "comedies" occurred in the world. Other functions of Saint Quartz were discovered and taken seriously. However, the probability of ordinary people becoming knights is too low. It may be a bit exaggerated to select one from a thousand, but it is true that among hundreds of people, it is often Only one person has the talent.
It led to many tragedies at first, until a certain scholar discovered a test method. It was very simple. Drop a drop of blood into a water glass with crystal powder dissolved in it. If it condenses into a bright drop of blood after an hour, it proves that Man is the "Chosen One."
After a while, some private armies of "knights" from the nobles appeared. Less than a few decades later, humans came into contact with the orcs living in the southwest mountains on a large scale...
"Hey, are you okay?" Jean frowned as he looked at Ren, who was trembling slightly.
"It's okay. I've experienced this kind of thing once. My current condition is better than ever before." Renn said with a smile. The feeling this time was actually far less intense than the last time, but this time he experienced it himself. It was very wonderful. Experience, the illusion of being omnipotent.
Jean had a weird expression and wanted to ask something, but Ren didn't know how to explain, so he changed the subject: "Jean, your hair style is good this morning!"
"What?" Jean didn't respond.
Amin interrupted and explained with a smile: "He means that you are more handsome when you pretend to be Allen!"
"Huh? How is that possible! I don't want to play that idiot anymore!" Jean tilted his head slightly with disdain on his face.
"Don't say that, what if you still have a chance?" Ren's face was a bit teasing: "I forgot to tell you, Allen said you have a horse face."
"What, damn it..." Jean cursed, shouting that he would flatten Allen into a pig's head in the future.
The three of them went to report the situation noisily. When Ren first came to this world, he had a lot of physical and mental problems.
Psychologically, he didn't know who he was. He was most seriously ill in the first half of 849. He thought he was Ren, but he had some inexplicable and false memories, and he didn't wake up until later.
The hidden dangers in his body are not small. There is nothing to "baptize" him here. He relies on the life energy carried in his body to slowly strengthen and transform himself, because the body's meridians and blood vessels cannot withstand the full operation of Dou Qi, and the efficiency is very low. It took two full years to complete two full-body strengthening exercises and become a "standard" knight.
Mikasa awakened when he was 9 years old, and Ren was 12 years old. He didn't awaken until one month before joining the army. It can be said that in the first year of joining the training corps, he caught up with Mikasa, who had grown muscles for three years more than him. She was still a holy fighter. credit.
In the fighting class at the beginning of the second year, he suffered a bit at the hands of Ani, because at that time, if he did not use the sacred fighting spirit, his physical fitness was really not much better than Mikasa.
In the third year, two rounds of strengthening were completed, fighting spirit had accumulated a lot, and the power of Ackerman's bloodline was almost stimulated, and he was able to leave everyone behind. However, at that time, he had no chance to shine.
Now, Ren has woken up and no longer struggles with who he is. He is living here now and his friends are here. This is enough.
This small improvement can be regarded as a "second awakening". He is now truly standing between Niu A and Niu C.
The power came at the right time, because just as Ren, Jean and Amin had just finished reporting their work, Toma, the car god and member of Mickban, rushed forward and sent an urgent message. There was an appearance in the south of the Wall of Rose. A giant!
It was this morning that Mikban, who was supervising the 104th batch of recruits, discovered the giant, and then decisively divided into four teams to deliver the news in all directions. Toma had already passed through the Amyha District before, took a hurried drink of water, and rushed to the Stehes District. .
This news was so bad that even Ren was a little nervous. If the Wall of Rose was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was getting late, but Alvin didn't panic. He calmly gathered people, prepared torches and other supplies for the night march, and issued orders in an orderly manner.
There was an urgent need, so Renne and the others also got busy.
"Eren, it's bad, a giant has appeared in the Rose Wall!" Amin ran to the lounge in panic and shouted to Eren and Mikasa.
"What?!" Allen was shocked, and he quickly changed into soldier uniforms with Mikasa, put on the three-dimensional mobile device and prepared for action.
The night was getting darker and the lights were brighter. When Allen and the others walked to the square, they found that hundreds of people from the Survey Corps had gathered, and even the carriages were ready. Allen could see that many people had panic expressions on their faces.
We can't blame them. If the Wall of Rose is lost, things will really be in trouble for humanity.
"Quiet! Why are you panicking? Humanity is not finished yet! Prepare the torches for marching in the dark, prepare them immediately, and be ready to go!" With a resolute look on his face and calm down, Ren said to the investigators.
"Understood!" Everyone calmed down a little, loaded the supplies into the carriage, and prepared to travel overnight to investigate the situation.
Petra, who was moving boxes, spotted Olao coming over and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing here? Your injury hasn't healed yet."
Auluo raised his somewhat movable arm and said in a calm tone: "It's just red and swollen, not broken."
"You are not suitable for going to the front line in this state." Sister Pei advised.
With a slight snort, Oruao looked incomprehensible: "Even giants appeared on the Wall of Rose. I saw a lot of panicked refugees along the way. Their panic and anxiety are unforgettable.
I would like to ask, is there any safe place in this world? "
Petra was silent for a while: "You look very different now than usual."
Auluo forced a smile: "Really? Maybe."
This morning he went to visit Gunda's parents. Gunda's father burst into tears: "I am actually opposed to him joining the Survey Corps, but when the child grows up and has his own ideas, we can't control him.
Oluo boy, although your parents seem to be very open-minded and don't object to your behavior, they are always on tenterhooks whenever you go outside the wall.
Listen to me and quit as soon as possible. You don’t want your parents to be like me one day, right? "
Looking at Gunda's father in a daze, Olao lost his mind. At this moment, he was a little shaken.
Lifting up a wooden box containing marching rations, Olua said: "Petra, this morning Gunda's father persuaded me to quit the Survey Corps, and I was actually shaken."
"What?"
Olua was in a low mood: "At that moment, I wanted to live a stable life. What about you, did Elder's wife say anything to you?"
Putting the wooden box into the carriage, Petra hesitated for a while: "She said she wanted me to find an honest man to marry, so that my dad wouldn't have to worry about it all day long."
"That's it, what do you think?"
"I asked her if she regretted marrying Elder? She said she didn't regret it. She would make the same choice again." Petra's eyes were a little moist: "She said she was a hopeless stupid woman. "
Veterans are not immune to confusion, and Oloo and Petra are only about twenty years old.
Olao closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, he smiled: "I am not a filial child. I later told Gunda's father plausibly that if everyone quits, the sacrifices of the comrades will be meaningless! These Things must have a result!"
The secret in the basement of Allen's hometown is not just Alvin who wants to witness it.
"But actually I'm still a little confused inside. However, on the way here I saw people who had left their homes. I think I made the right choice this time.
If you retreat, where can you retreat to? The giant has no intention of leaving us a way to survive!
In this case, let us carry out our vow to dedicate our hearts to the end! "
