Ancient God Library

Chapter 168 Funeral
The size of the underground tavern is not small.

Except for the drinking area that Romon saw at the first sight, walking in along the side passage, the space inside is getting bigger and bigger, and it has been subdivided into several areas.

There are dedicated training grounds, living areas, and even edible plants growing in some places.

Continue to go inside.

Many living rooms appeared, and it seemed that many people lived here.

Along the way, Romon met many members of the Knights of the Dawn.

There are men and women, the only thing they have in common is that their blood is very strong, which is obviously the effect of the knight's breathing method, which makes Luo Meng envious.

"Some members of the Knights Club live here for a long time to avoid abnormal situations. Most members don't live here. People in the Knights of Dawn have serious jobs, maybe blacksmiths, maybe carpenters..."

Amos explained to Romon while responding to the greetings from the people inside the stronghold.

This is the normal situation.

The Knights of Dawn is not one of those big churches, and there is no stable source of income. If the members do not have a job, it is estimated that they do not even have the capital to maintain the existence of the Knights. They can only eat the northwest wind one by one.

Romon followed, looking at the surrounding environment.The members of the Knights of the Dawn were also observing him, some with curiosity in their eyes, and some with vigilance in their eyes.

Amos brought Romon to the center of this underground tavern.

This is an extremely large stone chamber, with a huge sculpture in the middle, carved out of white jade, and a pool around the sculpture, with small fish swimming in it.

The appearance of the statue is that of a knight.

The opponent was wearing heavy armor, riding on a steed, and the long sword in his hand pointed to the sky.

"This is Arthur, King of Knights."

Amos looked at the statue with a flash of respect in his eyes: "He is the founder of the knight age and one of the most powerful knights in history. Many people here admire him."

Romon looked at this statue and observed carefully, there were some inhuman features on the other side.

But Amos said that King Arthur in history looked like this.

Afterwards, Amos summoned the entire Knights Club, and formally introduced Romon, the "newcomer trainee", to the entire club.

The real strength of the Knights Association is not weak now. There are still four third-level awakeners, hundreds of second-level awakeners, and first-level awakeners are branched all over the country, with a very large number.

As for industry.

The Knights Club runs some shops and has industries all over the country. Generally speaking, the Knights Club of Dawn is not weak, but it is definitely not strong.

Coupled with the loss of Wudun's manpower, the situation is even worse now.

The interior of the Knights' Association is not monolithic either. For example, the last time I went to Wudun to stop the Blood Cup Cult's actions, many people in the association disagreed, and there were serious differences among everyone.

Amos didn't care about these.

Although he founded the Knights of Dawn, many of the veterans, such as the four third-order awakened people, were children he had adopted. As long as he wanted to, he could firmly control the Knights, but he Never do anything.

Leave it to this group of people to develop and handle it themselves.

Since the loss of a large number of people in Wudun last time, the situation in the Knights' Club has not been very good, and the opinions of several leaders have become even more divided.

Amos had to come and manage the place.

The six skills have been passed down.

It's just that these people's mastery of the six skills is far from meeting his requirements, and it's even more incomparable with Romon's progress.

After getting to know each other.

Amos called Romon and the other four leaders to another room.

"I'm running out of time."

As soon as the opening remark came out, except for Romon, who was already mentally prepared, the rest of the people were stunned, and then panicked immediately.

"Master Amos, don't talk nonsense! There is nothing wrong with your health, at least you can live for another few decades."

"The Knights Club was created by you alone, we cannot do without you."

Several people were extremely excited.

Amos waved his hand to stop them from continuing: "I am very clear about my physical condition, so you don't need to talk about it. I am here this time, and I want to explain something to you."

The room was quiet.

Several people knew very well that when Amos spoke with this attitude, it meant that what he said next would be very important.

The four third-order awakeners, including Romon, all had serious expressions on their faces.

"My original intention of founding the Knights of Dawn is to let the knights have a kind of fire to pass on, so that this knowledge will not be submerged in history.

nowadays.

Many of you have learned the Knight's Breath.

I also passed on the six knight skills.

The Dawn Knights will take care of the daily management, and I seldom intervene. You have great freedom to do whatever you want.

but.

Judging from Wudun's situation, such indulgence will only lead to the death of the Dawn Knight.

So before I die, I want to make this organization more standardized and make the Knights live longer. "

Amos said slowly.

What happened in Wudun obviously refers to the matter of Jasper. Jasper and his men were wiped out, which caused a huge commotion in the Dawn Knights.

"Lord Amos, what are we going to do?"

asked a woman with a light scar on her face and healthy tanned skin.

There was an unspeakable wildness in her pair of brown eyes.

"Sheryl, don't worry, I've thought about this for a long time." Amos slowly glanced at the people in the room, "Finally I decided to change the current structure of the Knights of the Dawn, from top to bottom. Change."

He said in a deep voice: "I am going to combine all the forces of the Knights' Association, and then the top level will be governed by a five-member council. In this way, the knights will not be caused huge losses due to the impulse of one person.

After my death, there will definitely be many people who will focus on the Dawn Knights, and you also need to be completely united in order to survive in Jianhai. "

Hearing these words from Amos, the expressions on everyone's faces became even more sad.

It is true that there are various frictions and gaps between the several teams of the Cavaliers, but the enmity between them is not deep, it is just that there are sometimes differences of opinion.

At this moment, several people are more concerned about Amos, an old man who is like a teacher and a father.

Without Imos' adoption, they might all have a hard time growing up.

"From now on, just the five of you will vote to decide the major issues in the meeting. Just as Jasper wants to retire to the second line, let Romon take his place." Amos looked at several people and said.

This is also the arrangement he had thought of long ago.

In case the Knights of Dawn will encounter danger in the future, even if Romon wants to intervene, it will be difficult to intervene in the Knights' Association without a suitable identity.Therefore, to give Romon an identity with sufficient status, almost all of Jasper's lineage died in battle due to the upheaval in Wudun, and the population withered.

Romond being the leader of this line will not affect the overall situation of the Knights Association, and he has enough identity and voice.

The rest of the people were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't object.

Jasper's line was indeed almost empty.

Even if Romon really became one of the five leaders, it wouldn't have any benefit to them.

It can be seen that Romon just came here to recognize his face, he didn't really want to snatch the rights in the Knights' Association, and even if he wanted to snatch it, he didn't have anyone to support it.

"Okay, I'll stop here for today, and I'll inform the entire Knights Club of this decision later."

Amos is the absolute talker in the meeting.

Although he rarely makes decisions, once he decides, no one can object.His prestige in the Knights' Association was also unparalleled. When Romon was announced as one of the five new leaders, although many people in the Knights' Association had never heard of the name, they did not object.

This is completely unimaginable in other forces.

Suddenly becoming one of the five leaders, Romon didn't feel anything. He didn't have half a man under him. It was just a situation that went through a process. This was also the deal he had with Amos at the beginning.

After a visit to the underground tavern, it was three hours after I finished these things.

"The deal between you and me is over. Through this period of getting along, I believe that you are not a person who will break your promise. Okay, do you want me to drop you off?" Amos smiled on his old face .

Romon politely refused.

Saying goodbye to Amos, he went back to the rented yard outside the college alone.

The yard was quite large, surrounded by high walls, and the rent was one pound a week.

Because the lot is good and the area is not small, the price is expensive.

But there are too many secrets in Romon, and it is not a problem to live in the college dormitory all the time. It is much more convenient to live alone no matter what you do.

Go home.

Romon began to soak his body in a keel bath to nourish his body, and closed his eyes, continuing to meditate on the great Buddha in his spiritual world.

At this moment, his meditation objects have undergone special changes.

Not only is the Buddha even more imposing, but his appearance has completely become the same as him. The Buddha's body emanates a steady stream of spiritual power, nourishing Romon.

This is the benefit of meditation.

Meditation objects nourish the spiritual body of the awakened one.

It is just the opposite of breathing to strengthen the body.

This is the effect derived from the meditation object after reaching the third-order awakened person.

It is recorded in some books that the fourth- and fifth-level awakeners will have more magical uses and changes in their meditation objects, which makes people look forward to it.

But at the moment.

Thinking of the spirit monkey skull stuck by a profiteer, Romon felt a little depressed.

After working so hard for so long, he hasn't even obtained the first awakening ability of a third-order awakener. This may be the worst third-order awakener in history.

Andi, who was promoted later than him, has now obtained the first third-level awakening ability.

"Good things always require patience. If Rudolph really doesn't want to lower the price, then you have to have a good talk with him. Ten thousand pounds, don't you think I'm a pure and wronged person?"

Romon thought to himself.

The night passed like this, and in the early morning of the next day, he was exercising in the yard when he was interrupted by a hasty knock on the door.

Walking to the door, it was Swana standing outside.

The head of the Bureau of Investigation was wearing a black velvet gown, a pair of black military boots on the soles of his feet, a white flower on his chest, and a sad expression.

"what happened?"

There was a faint feeling of something bad in his heart.

"Mr. Amos passed away, just this morning!" Swana said excitedly.

Luo Meng's face changed slightly, "He was fine last night, how could he pass away suddenly?"

Swana shook her head: "I also just received the news this morning. It was really sudden. Mr. Amos had already arranged his funeral before he passed away. He seemed to have expected that he would leave today. Have a funeral."

I heard the other party say this.

Romon hurriedly changed into his outfit, boarded the carriage with a heavy heart, and headed to the Palace of Knights.

……

When the two arrived, there were already many people standing outside the knight's palace.

Most of them were actually nobles. As for the people from the Knights of Dawn, they didn't come over. Their identities are obviously not suitable to appear here.

Although the Knight's Palace is not in the real hinterland of Anjou Castle, it is also an important palace.

The two walked into the mourning hall.

Romon held a bouquet of flowers in his hand and placed them under the altar of the mourning hall. He glanced at the coffin next to him. Amos's bloodless corpse lay quietly in it, covered with white flowers.

Indeed dead!

Romon was in a trance for a moment. The old knight really wanted to die, and he didn't even give him any time to prepare.

A sad atmosphere spread around.

After attending the entire funeral, Romon watched Amos' body being buried, and looked at the inscriptions on the stone tablet. Finally, he felt that life was impermanent, and manpower would eventually run out.

Although the third-order awakened person can theoretically live to more than 200 years old.

But how many people can really live to this age?
Most of the awakened ones lived a long life, either mutated into monsters, or died prematurely due to various things.

There are very, very few people who can really die.

A situation like Amos is actually a good ending for the Awakened.

It's a pity that Amos has no children, which is his only regret.In the long years, he has been living alone.

After the funeral, Romont had just left Anjou Castle when a stranger came up to him and handed him a booklet: "Sir, someone asked me to give this to you, and he said it was at 31 Forge Street, Forge Parish. No. waiting for you."

Luo Meng first looked at the person's whole body with his spiritual vision, and only after he found no problem, he took the book.

Flip through a few pages.

His eyes suddenly brightened, he nodded to the strange man and said, "Okay, thank you for telling me the news."

"It's okay, I was just entrusted by someone, and I got the reward I deserve." The man took off his hat, saluted Romon, turned and left.

Watching the messenger leave, Romon held the booklet, and the thoughts in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

This is actually the relationship book that Iris gave him in Wudun back then, which recorded many anecdotes about Wudun nobles. Although Romon didn't use it in the end, it is obvious that someone who can come up with the same handbook Only Elise.

She was not killed in Wudun, and came to Jianhai smoothly!
but.

The other party took out this manual and contacted him around the corner, probably because he encountered difficulties.
