Capítulo 105: Lesser Knight Sophia
Paladin was a buggy class to begin with, and with the attribute growth and correction bonuses of the Canonized Knight and the acquisition of additional skills, it could definitely become a Golden Son that was as powerful as the players. If Tina's own talent was stronger, there was definitely hope for her to reach the level of a Boss template.
In the game, Liang Lidong didn't get a Paladin as his Knight, mainly because the Paladin were too devout in their belief in the Goddess of Light. They swore to dedicate their lives to the Goddess of Light forever. Originally, Dinah had a good chance of being canonized as a Knight, but Blondie and Whitey were jealous and didn't allow him to have a female Knight, so it was left unsettled.
But now the situation was different. Since Blondie and Whitey were fighting against a powerful enemy that he didn't know the details of, he desperately needed combat power. Tina not only looked like Dinah, but her personality was also somewhat similar. He was reassured to let such a girl become a Paladin and then his Knight. It would definitely save him more effort and be much stronger than Uther.
"Become your Knight?" Tina's oval face blushed. "Generally speaking, isn't it a man who becomes a Knight of the Princess?"
Under normal circumstances, this was indeed the case. Liang Lidong shrugged. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
He did want Tina to become his Knight, but her situation was different from Uther's. Uther was hostile towards Liang Lidong. It could even be said that he wanted to kill Liang Lidong. Liang Lidong had to force Uther to become his Knight to eliminate the threat and allow his initial plan to proceed smoothly.
Tina gave Liang Lidong a reproachful look. She stood up and said, "Let me think about it for two more days, okay?"
Liang Lidong nodded. He felt that this was a big deal, and it was normal to need to think about it. But in fact, Tina had already agreed in her heart. Her refusal now was just a girl's reserve. After all, for Tina, if she became the Red Priest's Knight, it would be no different from "marrying" him.
With a faint smile and a sweet blush, Tina slowly left the room. Soon, Gavin came in. Holding a jar of ale that he had kept for a long time, he poured a cup for Liang Lidong and himself, then he raised the jar and said, "I've decided to hide the secret of the Well of Light from my family … I also want Tina to become a Paladin. I don't have a boy, so Tina will inherit my family business in the future. She's very weak now, and if I'm gone one day, she'll definitely be bullied. But if she becomes a Paladin, like Ancestor Dinah, I don't think anyone would dare to bully her. "
Fathers would always consider many things for their children. Gavin's situation was very similar to the City Lord's. They only had daughters and no sons, so the inheritance of their family business would be very troublesome. There would definitely be a lot of people staring at Tina, regardless of whether they were young or old. He was an old man. He didn't even have a wife anymore. Also, when he recalled the necromancer's words, Liang Lidong felt that the guy was rather pitiful.
However, Liang Lidong soon raised his question. "If you don't send the news of the Well of Light back to your family, how will you answer them when they ask?"
Gavin's round face had a smile of understanding. "Of course I know what to do … It's been almost two hundred years since my family split up and came to Winterwind. They must've grasped some secrets after such a long time. I'll have someone bring them back to my family tomorrow and tell them what you told me. It's already a pleasant surprise that they can trade Ancestor Dinah's diary for some substantial benefits. They won't investigate who gave them the secret. "
Liang Lidong gave him a thumbs up. He had to admit that this was a qualified noble. Not only would he protect his own interests, but he would also not let his own family suffer losses or become suspicious.
As for Fatty Gavin's character, Liang Lidong trusted about 40%. He did not trust Uther at all. Therefore, there were some things that he could tell this guy directly. "The Well of Light is very important, and its location is very dangerous. If you want to get it, you have to find enough people, and they have to be trustworthy and have a certain level of strength. Right now, we're fighting against the Church of Life, so we have to put the matter aside for now. I'll take you to the relic after everything is over. "
Gavin nodded. "Of course … Mark must be on a rampage after being humiliated by us yesterday. I'm afraid that he'll do something bad to us. I'll take Tina to the castle and stay there for a few days. Would you like to come with us?"
"Okay!" Liang Lidong nodded.
About two hours later, Gavin, Liang Lidong, and Tina appeared in the main hall of the castle. Tina sat next to Liang Lidong, not far away. This subtle distance represented her mood and attitude at the moment. Although Liang Lidong wasn't too stupid when it came to relationships, he couldn't guess the girl's complicated thoughts, nor did he bother to.
City Lord Uther, as the host, naturally sat at the head of the table. Beside him sat his wife, who was as tall as a mountain and as slender as a willow. Tina looked at the city lord's wife enviously. Although her figure wasn't bad among her peers, she couldn't compare to Barbara at all, let alone Barbara's mother, the city lord's wife. The gap was too big.
Katerina also sat at the side as a guest and participant. She stared at Tina suspiciously. Her strong intuition as an Assassin seemed to have noticed something.
Uther looked at the people around him and said, "Because of Rex's withdrawal, he has given up about 20% of his profits. I plan to give 10% to the Guild of Assassins, and the other 10% to Lord Betta. Is it interesting for the others?"
Katerina smiled and said, "Of course I have no objections."
10% of the profits from the gold mine was already a huge fortune for the Assassin's Guild, which had always been "poor." Katerina had estimated that as long as they got the monthly profits from the gold mine, the money they would get would be more than half a year's profit from the branch. Now, she felt that it was a good thing that Rex had died!
However, Liang Lidong waved his hand and said, "I already have 15% of the profits. I don't need this 10%. Sometimes, too much money will make people jealous. I don't want to be betrayed again. "
It was true that the more money, the better, but it depended on the timing. Even though Uther was already his knight and could not possibly betray him, Uther was still his knight. But those who suffer from red eye disease. Not all of them showed it on their faces. Liang Lidong did not dare to guarantee how the Assassin Union or the Hibiscus Family would react if he took another 10% of the profit. Although the two people seemed to have some integrity and conscience, the thing about profit was that they would not be able to take it. Profits were always bloody.
Whatever ability you have, you'll be able to eat however much you want! That was Liang Lidong's usual way of doing things. If he had been a lord in the game, not just Winterwind, he would've swallowed the gold mine even if he had to fight against all of Hollevin. But he didn't have the capability right now, so there was no need for him to be a target.
"Mr. Beta, we hope that you can take the profits, or we won't be reassured." Otherwise, we will not be at ease. " Uther looked at Liang Lidong.
Liang Lidong found it odd. "Oh, why?"
Uther gently touched his wife beside him. Since the beginning of the meeting, the castellan's wife had been in a daze. At this time, she finally came back to her senses. Then, she placed her right elbow on the table and showed the back of her hand to everyone present.
Her hand was clean and beautiful. But that was not the point. The point was that there was a coat of arms on the back of her hand. It was a Gemini coat of arms in the shape of a shield.
Liang Lidong nodded and realized what was going on. Uther sensed the abilities and specialties that he had acquired from the Knight's coat of arms. He knew how rare it was for a professional to be appointed as a Knight. Increasing one's strength out of thin air was a long-term thing. As long as one did not betray his master, he could keep it and even gift it to his descendants. It was definitely a rare "heirloom" for a family.
Sophia glanced at Liang Lidong and quickly moved her eyes away. Then, she quickly averted her eyes. "I'm now a knight of Lord Betta, just like my husband."
Tina looked at Liang Lidong with a strange expression, as if she had been wronged. Katerina and Gavin both cried out in surprise. They knew that Castellan Uther had been forcefully turned into a knight by Liang Lidong, but they didn't know why the castellan's wife had jumped into this "trap" herself. Why did she give up her position as the castellan and his wife, but choose to be someone else's subordinate?
For this to happen, either the mayor's wife had lost her mind or she had been threatened.
The mayor's wife did not look like a fool, so the latter was more likely. Fatty Gavin looked at Liang Lidong and asked, "Mr. Beta, for the stability and long-term of our cooperation, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for this."
Katerina also nodded. She was naturally on Gavin's side. Both of them were rather worried. The mayor's family was the most powerful noble in Winterwind. If they could be threatened by Beta, it would be easy for Beta to threaten them.
"In fact, there's not much to explain." Liang Lidong clicked his tongue. "Did you not notice that the mayor's wife's coat of arms is bronze, while the mayor's is silver? It was not me who turned the mayor's wife into a Knight, but the mayor himself. If you need an explanation, you should ask the couple, not me. "
Uther showed the coat of arms on the back of his hand. It was indeed silver. While the two of them were confused, he said, "Our spies have discovered that Mr. Beta is from a mysterious, noble family. We're honored to be a vassal Knight of this family. In the future, not only will Barbara inherit my position as mayor, but she will also inherit the coat of arms on the back of my hand. "
Katerina and Gavin looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not understand what was so good about the coat of arms. It was a family coat of arms that they had never seen before, and it did not even have a name. Why were they so confused?
Gavin and Katerina did not know that the Knight conferred by Liang Lidong would be much stronger, so it was only natural that they were confused.
Liang Lidong, on the other hand, realized from Uther's words that the couple was expressing their loyalty to him and seemed to be resigned to their fate. However, on second thought, he realized that it was quite normal. For regular NPCs, their growth in strength was slow, and their attribute growth was generally not high. For example, Uther's Constitution growth was at most 9, and his Intelligence growth was about the level of a normal person. His Coordination growth, Willpower growth, and Charisma growth all fluctuated between 4 and 5.
However, players were different. Players were called Golden Sons by NPCs in the game, and they were born with high attribute growth. For example, regular Warriors not only had the highest Constitution growth of 10, but their Coordination growth could also increase to 6. In addition, even if they did not increase their Intelligence, Willpower, and Charisma, they would still have a growth of 5. Furthermore, players would receive a talent every even number of levels, which meant that they would receive a talent every two levels. There were also job branches, and every five levels, they would receive a special talent … NPC professionals were not so lucky. Their general growth was not high, and they could not learn many talents. For example, before Uther was conferred as a Knight by Liang Lidong, he only had two combat talents.
Therefore, overall, players were much stronger than regular NPCs, which was why they were called Golden Sons. However, among the NPCs, there were some special characters whose attributes were equal to or even higher than the players. These special NPCs were called "Lord-level" template characters by the players.
After being conferred by Liang Lidong, Uther, who was a "Normal" template character, leaped to the "Elite" level. For Sophia, this was definitely a great temptation, so it was not strange that she was willing to become a second-class Knight.
Although Uther had a falling out with Liang Lidong not long ago, which could be considered a stupid thing, it did not mean that he would always be stupid. Many times, strength was the foundation of everything. As long as one had strength, it would not be difficult for the Longman family to rise. Moreover, he felt that Sophia was right. A person with such a special ability, the Red Priest Beta, was definitely not an ordinary human, or a special race in human clothing, such as a descendant of the divine blood, an ancient golden species, or some such "monster."
It was not embarrassing for the Longman family to serve such a special character.
After understanding Uther's thoughts, Liang Lidong knew that it should not be a problem for him to take this extra 10%. However, after thinking about it, he still refused. "I will not take that 10%, Your Excellency Uther. Now, we should start discussing how to deal with Mark, not divide the money here. If Mark does not die, all of us will not be able to live in peace. "
"About this matter..." Uther took a deep breath: "I already know where Mark is hiding now. He is not in the Temple of Life, but in the basement of a private house not far from our castle. There are not many guards, and they seem to be doing something strange."
