Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Chapter 570: Corruption of the Knights

Diluc continued to talk about the corruption of the Knights: "The Knights are full of factions and cliques. All the factions are fighting for the title of knight."

"The nobles in the city colluded with the bureaucrats of the Knights Templar to monopolize the Knights Templar's establishment."

"Grandmaster Falga, Qin, think about it, how many of the new knights in the Knights Templar are ordinary citizens, and how many are children of the nobility?"

"this--"

Falga and Qin Buyu said nothing. The Knights Templar had a voting system, so the Grand Master could not control the entire Knights Templar.

It is easy to purge the Knights Templar, just clear out those who got in through connections.

But no one can escape this, because Jyn's family, the Gunhild clan, is the Knights Templar's biggest relative.

To clean them all out means to clean out even those who have the ability, which is no different from disbanding the Knights.

At present, the best way for Farga and Qin is to closely supervise. Qin suppresses the members within the family, and Farga warns those officials who form cliques.

Another major problem is the selection system of the Knights Templar.

The selection system of the Knights Templar is based on personal qualities, not literary or military abilities!

It is said that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. The resources that ordinary citizens need to spend to support a qualified knight are enormous.

The greatest frustration in life is that you can’t beat them even if you take an honest exam. How can you win in this case?

Children of the nobility are superior to commoners from a young age. They have knight elders, the correct training methods, and plenty of resources to grow.

The most important thing is that there is a back door and you know all the invigilators.

Noelle failed the exam seven times. She possessed the Eye of God and was born with supernatural powers, which was a mutation given to her by a poor person. She was already better than 99% of the children of nobles, but she still could not be selected.

On the one hand, Jean thinks that Noel's personality will make him exhausted as a knight. On the other hand, how can you, with ten years of hard study, defeat my three generations of organization?

The Knights Templar's annual knight selection has already been secretly scheduled.

Don’t even mention that you have the eyes of God. Even if you have the heart of God, you still have to give gifts and pay homage to the mountain.

Diluk's words made many members of the Knights bow their heads. They themselves knew best how many of these people had entered through the back door.

But how can this situation change, Corwin? Sorry, the Knights Templar need knights who can fight on the battlefield.

Don't say that these nobles are like parasites. Their death rate on the battlefield is very high.

Noelle and Irene suddenly came up and said to Farga, "Grandmaster, both of us have been incorporated into the Knights' Order by His Majesty Brahma. Although this is the fulfillment of our long-cherished dream, it is against the rules. We want to resign."

Falga was stunned. Before this, Noel and Irene had traveled all the way from Mondstadt to find them and told them that Barbara and others had been captured by Jing Fantian.

I didn't care about these things during the process, but after everything calmed down, some problems left by Jing Fantian began to come up.

Noel and Irene are very capable. They have been following the expeditionary force all the time, even without horses, but they were able to keep up closely. This is already elite quality.

But why can’t I pass the assessment?

Falga thought of Diluc's words. If ordinary citizens with abilities could not join the Knights Templar, then the annual establishment of the Knights Templar had indeed been monopolized by factions within the order.

Although the nobles have innate advantages over the common people, it is impossible for the number of nobles to be everywhere. There will definitely be lucky ones with genetic mutations among the common people who will surpass them.

There is no problem with the assessment, the problem lies with the examiner!

Falga glanced at Diluk and had an idea in mind, but he had to deal with Noel and Irene's issues first.

"You two are both excellent reserve knights. If you hadn't informed me in time, the troops wouldn't have been able to put pressure on Liyue in such a short time. Speaking of which, Noelle and Irene, you both made great contributions."

"Besides, His Highness Brahma values ​​you. If I agree to your resignation, wouldn't that be disrespecting him?"

"He is the son of Liyue's emperor, the second in command of the Fatui, so the Knights should still give him some face."

"He is not idle in Mondstadt. At least he promoted you two qualified knights."

"I reject your resignation application. When you return to the order, I will officially declare you as full-time knights of the order."

Noelle and Irene looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

The two of them knelt on one knee, "Thank you, Grand Commander."

Farga smiled, then felt sad. This was what they deserved.

But he has no power or influence, and no backing, so he can only rely on the support of big shots.

Barbara also rushed over and said to Farga: "Grandmaster, His Majesty Brahma has also included me in the Knights' Order. I request to withdraw."

Falga was stunned. Noel and Irene were okay because they were knights in reserve and could become knights at any time.

But Barbara is a nun of the Church of Favonius and a civil servant. How come she was incorporated into the Knights Templar?

This evil dragon, is he the mule in the village and also wants to be arranged to be a war horse in the Knights Templar and eat a share of the royal food?

Fortunately, he was driven away quickly, otherwise who knows what kind of harm Mond would have suffered from him?

Farga looked at Qin, wanting to know if it was true?

Jean nodded: "His Highness Brahma also named himself the Knight King of the Knights, commanding all the knights of Mondstadt."

"Knight King? Has he gone mad from being a king?"

Falga shook his head and then asked, "How many other people have been promoted by him?"

Jean shook her head. "There are only three of them: Barbara, Noelle, and Irene. They were even given the title of knight by the other party."

Kaiya was a little ashamed: "Even you youngsters have the title of knight, but I, the cavalry captain, still don't have my own knight title!"

Falgar became interested. Generally speaking, only elite knights who have made great contributions can be given the title of knight, such as the Spark Knight, the Wave Knight, the Twist Knight...

Many of the elite troops around Falga do not have the title of knight.

Some of the knight titles are inherited within the Knights Temperament, such as the Knight of the North Wind, the Knight of the Dandelion, and the Knight of the Dawn. These titles cannot be inherited casually. They are titles prepared for the Grand Master.

Possessing these ancient titles of knighthood essentially meant being designated as the leader of the order.

Farga looked at Barbara and the other three, "What are your knightly titles?"

Noelle said proudly: "Report to the Grand Master, I am the Knight of the Rose."

"Rose Knight, it sounds good!"

Falga praised Noel's title of knight, which was very suitable for the strong and unyielding Noel. He then looked at Barbara and Irene.

Both of them blushed and hesitated.

After holding it in for a long time, Irene finally mustered up the courage to say, "Reporting to the Grand Master, I am the Knight of the Stake."

"The Stake Knight?"

Farga was stunned, and the knights around him couldn't help laughing.

"What's the reason for this?"

“That’s probably why I practice with the stakes so often at the training ground,” Erin explained.

"Oh!"

Falga nodded, and then asked: "Do you like this title?"

Irene replied, "This is the title given to me by His Majesty Brahma. Although it is a bit arbitrary, I think he hopes that I will stand firm like a stake."

Falga smiled and said, "That's good. I hope you can become a stake of the Knights and shoulder the heavy responsibility."

Farga then looked at Barbara.

Barbara's ears turned red, and she finally spoke under everyone's expectant gaze.

"My name is Duck Rider."

"Hahaha……"

Finally, they couldn't hold it back anymore and the onlookers burst into laughter. The one who laughed the loudest was Barbara's mother Frederica. Even Simon couldn't help laughing.

Barbara shyly hid behind Jean and glared at Frederica who was laughing the loudest.

Frederica stopped laughing and said to Barbara, "Go Knight, Barbara, you always say Barbara, Go, I think the little dragon is also very familiar with your catchphrase."

The crowd laughed, which finally eased the pain from Diluk's hurtful words and made the atmosphere better.

Barbara pleaded with Farga, "Grandmaster, please remove me from the Knights' Order. I am a nun of the West Wind Church and cannot be both a knight and a nun."

Farga glanced at Barbara and said, "Do you really want to become a knight?"

Barbara glanced at Simon carefully, and Simon encouraged her to speak her mind.

Barbara mustered up her courage and said, "I really want to be loved by everyone like my sister, but I know that only in West Wind Church can I realize my own value."

Falga smiled and said, "That's it! I will keep your position in the Knights Templar, but I won't pay you. You will have two roles: an idol nun of the West Wind Church and a charging knight of the Knights Templar."

After Farga mentioned Barbara's funny knight title, she couldn't help laughing.

Barbara looked at him resentfully.

Farga quickly apologized: "Barbara, I didn't mean to laugh at you. Your title of knight is really hilarious. I hope you don't mind."

Barbara said generously: "Just go for the Duck Rider! Barbara will definitely charge forward bravely."

Frederica touched Barbara's head with relief: "Barbara, you have grown up."

Then, Falgar looked at Diluc and solemnly invited him: "Diluc, I would like to hire you as the chief examiner for the Knights' Order's selection of knights."

Just as Diluk was about to refuse, Falgar chased him and said, "Don't worry, this time we are not asking you to join the Knights, we are outsourcing it. We just want you to help our Knights select qualified knights."
