Compared with the epic items I encountered before, the attributes of the Badge of Courage are not that eye-catching.

But it also has its own unique features.

The first two entries are both very rare.

One is "all mental effect saves," regardless of level.

This was the first time Lu En had encountered another "physical speed recovery" in Lu En's memory.

"Stamina" is a hidden attribute in combat, and generally not many people notice it.

Because when the physical strength increases, the physical strength also increases.

But it is precisely an important factor in a protracted war.

If you cannot defeat the enemy with one blow, or if you are on a large battlefield, the outcome will be completely different whether you have physical strength or not.

Holding the badge of courage in his hand, a warm current rushed into his body, driving away some of the chill.

A badge that can be upgraded, plus two rare entries with low basic attributes, the future is promising.

Putting away the badge, Rune glanced at the portal, then stepped inside.

In front of the pure spring water curtain, everyone has begun to look at each other.

"If I'm not mistaken, did that guy just get a badge of courage?"

"Something's wrong, it's so wrong. I've been in the Knight Tower for two years and haven't gotten a badge yet. This guy can get a badge even in the initial trial."

"Is there something wrong with the Black Tower?"

"No, everything is normal in the Black Tower now."

The three holy knight mentors also had some wonderful expressions.

Frazier lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "I really never thought that I could pass three trials at the same time in the initial trial. Let these guys take advantage of it again!"

"It can't be said that he took advantage of the loopholes." Armand said, "He has at least been recognized by the Black Tower, hasn't he? Rule 1 of the Knights Tower Code: Under the condition of complying with the principles of the empire, the will of the Black Tower is the rule in the Knights Tower. First."

"Then what if future knights also follow this path and get the Badge of Courage?" Fraser took a deep breath, "Then the Knight Tower will be in chaos!"

"Thankfully you are still a Holy Knight." Armand rolled his eyes, "The issuance of the badge is not due to something, but depends entirely on the Black Tower's judgment of 'spiritual' and 'virtue', which is rooted in a Human quality!”

He looked at Rune who entered the portal in the water curtain, nodded and said: "The reason why that guy was able to get the Courage Badge so quickly is not that he challenged all the difficult trials, but because of what he had in his heart." Courage has already surpassed that of most people.”

"Hey, he was originally a monster, but now he has become a 'monster of courage.'" Frazier shook his head, "I just watched his performance, and I haven't found out his specific background yet. Let me take a look."

Fraser took out his Black Tower Badge and injected spirituality into it, and suddenly a list of all the reserve knights appeared.

After searching for a while, I saw Lu En's name.

He whispered: "Run Graves comes from the Principality of Beloberg!"

"Belloberg, it's Belloberg again!" Frazier patted his head and seemed to suddenly realize, "I just said that this kid's behavior and thinking are familiar. It's true that a person is raised in the same place!"

"Nine years ago, there was Lugard, and nine years later, there was another Luen." Armand also felt numb, "The most important thing is that nine years later it will be our turn to be the leader of this session. It’s so hard to be a knight!”

The three people looked a little sad, but in fact there was a faint suppressed excitement underneath their expressions.

Although people like Lugard and Luen are a bit weird, who doesn't like geniuses?

The brain circuit of a genius is indeed a little weirder than that of a normal person, but it is still much better than those rigid little knights who come out of dogma and only have a straight face, right?

Besides, being able to coach these guys with terrifying talents is also one of the great joys in life.

"According to the previous rules, we are not allowed to show up. Who they choose depends on fair competition." Fraser specifically warned.

"Fair!" Armand nodded.

Marcin, who was on the sidelines, also agreed, "Follow the rules."

The water curtain of Jingquan closed, and everyone gradually left the place.

There were quite a few people who were impressed by the initial trial this time.

Most of the knight students were watching for fun, to see if there were any good guys who might be able to form a team together in the future.

But that was all, so I went back to complete my practice.

As for this year's knight instructors, they returned to their residences and began to get dizzy with work.

Fraser called his assistant, "Hurry up and get in touch with Lu En, Charbel, and Pelleni. This is a list of conveniences I can provide them. Hand it to them personally, and be careful not to expose it." identity."

Marcin called his apprentice, "I have prepared five thousand points and some rare items. You can help me recruit students. The key point is that Rune. He can give two thousand points, and the others can Qian, be careful not to let other instructors notice.”

As for Armand, he had already narrowed his eyes and smiled, his eyes like crescent moons, "I guess the other two guys have already made some moves, right? But don't forget, Lugard is my junior brother. Bello I’ll accept the genius from Berg.”

In front of Lu En's eyes, light flowed.

This time, there was no fainting situation during the teleportation.

Just a slight movement of his body, and when he took another step, he had already stepped on the dirt ground.

Surrounded by a dense forest, there are the rustling sounds of small animals.

"This teleportation is too unreliable!" Lu En had a headache.

The situation in front of me has become obvious, and the transmission has gone awry again.

Fortunately, Lu En walked in the dense forest for a while, and after pushing aside the tall grass, a smooth road paved with gravel appeared in front of him.

On the road, there were a few pedestrians, as well as horse-drawn carriages and various strange alchemy machines speeding along.

The most surprising thing is that on the road, there is actually a small alchemy machine with two wings and propellers on both sides running on wheels on the ground.

This is somewhat different from the "Knight Tower" Lu En imagined.

In the distance, the strange alchemy machine with a propeller was already far beyond Rune, but halfway through, it turned back and stopped next to Rune with noise.

From the transparent cab, a pair of goblin eyes and rune eyes widened.

The more Lu En looked at the other person's face, the more familiar it felt.

A few seconds later, he suddenly realized that this guy seemed to be one of the goblins he had "killed four times"!

Easy, normal once each, hard twice

It certainly doesn't feel good to be killed, even if it's a clone.

So now the goblin wants to look at Rune with its little eyes.

"Hmph! Damn, powerful guy, the person in front of you is Anna, the second alchemist master of the Black Tower Alchemy Guild. Please tell me your name quickly!"

What Lu En didn't expect was that the short goblin in front of him turned out to be a woman.

Her unique goblin voice sounded extremely familiar.

"I am Rune Graves, this year's reserve knight." Rune said.

"Run...!" Goblin Anna looked at Runn repeatedly and nodded with satisfaction.

Then she pointed at her alchemy machine and said, "Come up here. This place is still some distance from the Black Tower City. As your senior, I will give you a ride!"

Rune followed Goblin Anna's direction and saw that behind the alchemy machine, which was only over one meter long, there was an unreliable back seat.

Outside the cab!

If Luen sat on it, the scene in front of him would be a bit like a little girl riding a children's bicycle with an adult sitting on the back seat.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not harmonious.

"Forget it." Lu En gritted his teeth and refused.

"Are you questioning my T-1001 aircraft?" The wrinkles on Goblin Anna's face were almost squeezed together. "This is an insult to the second alchemist, an insult!"

After some stern questioning, Lu En received no response.

She rolled her eyes and then sighed: "Forget it, it's up to you whether you want to sit down or not. Anyway, this place is far away from Black Tower City. If you walk, it will take at least a day! At that time, you won't know how far behind others are."

After saying that, the engine of the alchemy machine slowly roared again.

When Lu En heard this, he sighed in his heart.

It seems that the alchemy machine must be used today.

Sitting on the back of the machine, the whole machine first ran quickly on the road, and then suddenly raised its head and flew up unsteadily.

Lu En raised his eyebrows. There seemed to be something wrong with the plot?

Didn't this machine just run on wheels on the ground? Why did it fly!

It is also a multifunctional transport device for both land and air use!

Listening to the sounds of creaking parts and looking at the ground farther and farther away, Lu En couldn't help but feel slightly worried.

Because the wind was blowing so hard, he had to lower his head and lie on top of the curved cockpit before he could barely open his eyes.

In the cab, Goblin Anna is extremely skilled in operation.

In a blink of an eye, the power of the alchemy machine had reached its maximum, and the howling wind blew past his face.

After a while, T-1001's operation stabilized and its speed leveled off.

At this time, Rune asked: "Anna, you just said 'Black Tower City', what's going on? How can Knight Tower be a city?"

"Oh, you're talking about this." Goblin Anna's voice came vaguely from inside the cockpit, "Originally, the Knight Tower did only have a black tower and a few simple rooms, but then... the name of the Knight Tower was lost. More and more people are coming here, investing, and recruiting students.”

"The original small place could no longer meet the needs of the knights, so it was simply expanded."

"The current Black Tower City is divided into two parts: inner and outer cities. Only people like us who are related to the Black Tower and have obtained badges can enter the inner city. There are places for practice and research inside."

"The outer city is much richer, with shops, guilds, street stalls, and bars. Everything is available, which can almost meet the needs of all adventuring guild members, and the knights can also get supplies from there!"

After Lu En heard this, he nodded silently in his heart.

It seems that the life in the Black Tower is not only about practicing in a poor place, but also much richer than what I imagined.

After several hours of flying, Black Tower City was in sight.

Looking at the city in the distance, Rune sighed in his heart, Goblin Anna really didn't lie to him.

If you walk on your own, it will take at least a day to get there.

He was just about to say something to say thank you, but Goblin Anna's voice came quickly.

"Prepare to land, Rune, be vigilant!"

Lu En was stunned for a moment.

What is the relationship between "becoming vigilant" and "landing"?

But the next second, he completely understood!

T-1001 fell towards the ground at lightning speed!

It's a fall, not a landing!

"This!" The Rune people were dumbfounded.

Goblin Anna in the cockpit was not too nervous and shouted: "Don't be afraid, there is just something wrong with the parts, we can usually land safely!"

Seeing that the landing speed was getting faster and faster, Lu En could only say, I believe you!

Originally, he was ready to jump off, but when he was still some distance from the ground, a parachute opened unexpectedly from above the cab!

Rune quickly hugged the entire alchemy machine tightly.

The T-1001 aircraft landed successfully with the help of a parachute.

After getting off the aircraft, Lu En was already a little unable to complain about this.

Normally when a car is running on the ground, it seems to fall apart when flying, and it lands on a parachute.

This aircraft is so cool.

Goblin Anna climbed out of the cockpit and patted the iron sheet of the aircraft with satisfaction, "Not bad, it didn't crash this time!"

Lu En: "What do you mean it didn't crash this time? Could it be that it crashed every time before?"

"Of course!" Anna smiled, "Where do you think the serial number in front of T-1001 came from?"

"Then you still let me come up?"

"Just tell me whether you're here or not! Will it save time?"

Lu En tilted his head when he heard this.

What the other party said seems to make sense.

Forget it, don’t worry about this anymore.

He raised his head and looked at the Black Tower City a few hundred meters away. People were coming and going, and it was a bit lively.

"Follow me!" When Lu En wasn't paying attention, the aircraft was folded into a metal block the size of a fist by Anna.

This made Lu En a little surprised.

"What do you think!" Anna looked proud, "This is a portable aircraft. If there is a war in the future, and every soldier has one of these, I don't know how the other side will fight!"

She took the lead and walked to the front, "Let's go, I'll take you around Black Tower City to get familiar with it."

The two walked in from outside the city. Along the way, Anna introduced the current detailed situation of Black Tower City to Lu En.

Entering from Black Tower City is the outer city area.

Most of the people living here are adventurers, and a small number are businessmen.

The reason why he is an adventurer is because he has to mention a key function of the black tower.

【Between life and death】

The knights believe that only in the intertwined world of life and death can one's potential be unleashed and great progress made.

So every once in a while, the Black Tower will spontaneously delineate some locations and open them to knights.

Knights can teleport to the location through the black tower, destroy monsters and obtain rewards.

Later, with the development of Black Tower City, part of this function was also opened to outside adventurers.

Ordinary adventurers form a team and can enter the ordinary world between life and death.

Knights and adventurers team up to enter the deep realm of life and death.

Led by high-level students or mentors, they can enter the desperate situation between life and death.

This setting directly elevated the status of the Black Tower Knight students.

At the same time, it also helps Black Tower absorb some talents who have not received attention from outside.

Foreign adventurers who perform well in life and death have the opportunity to be directly accepted as knight students.

Therefore, for knights, it is a matter of life and death to train themselves and maintain their status.

For Black Tower, recruiting talents is a matter of life and death.

For adventurers, there may be a path across classes between life and death. Even if they cannot be accepted as knight students, they can still obtain good materials from monsters and live a prosperous life.

A moment between life and death revitalized the entire city's ecology.

Goblin Anna took Rune through the shops selling high-quality materials, and then entered the street stalls where adventurers set up stalls.

Although the name is "Ditan Street", the things inside are not bad at all.

Only adventurers come here to do face-to-face transactions in order to save handling fees.

At least Lu En has seen a lot of good things from it.

Further inside, there are entertainment facilities, banks, restaurants, alchemy workshops and other infrastructure.

Finally, after passing through a high wall, the badge was shown.

Lu En then saw that in the center of the city, there was a tall black tower that had gone through thousands of years of wind and frost.

It is like a resolute guard, guarding this part of the empire.

"Let's go, I'll take you to report." Goblin Anna took the lead and walked towards the foot of the black tower.

But before the two of them took a few steps, a sneaky guy came over.

"Rune, rune!"

"Look here"

"Teacher Marcin asked me to come to you and ask if you would like to practice with him!"
