Chapter 15: The Knights of Britannia
The knights of the Britannia Empire are not the same as the knights of the European Middle Ages on Earth.
The knighthood of the Britannia Empire is not a title, but an official position.
The knights of the Britannia Empire are divided into 5 ranks, from low to high are Xingui Knights, Double Oak Knights, Fanlan Knights, Four Imperial Knights, and Unity Knights.
To put it simply, the knights of the Britannia Empire are like senior officers of the army. After you have made military achievements on the battlefield, and your military achievements have accumulated to a certain level, you can be canonized as a knight and join the ranks of the army. rank of senior commanders.
The unified knights are the highest knights who are eligible to be canonized only if they have made unimaginably brilliant military exploits for the empire and are deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor.
It has been nearly 300 years since the establishment of the Britannia Empire. In the past 300 years, the empire has only produced 12 unified knights.
The difficulty of becoming a unified knight can be seen.
The main force of the national army of the Britannia Empire is divided into three major knights. These three major knights are the Knights of Michael, the Knights of Raziel, and the Knights of Gabriel.
In addition to the three major knight orders, the Britannia Empire still has a large number of soldiers who do not belong to any knight order. These soldiers are not responsible for going out to fight, but are only responsible for guarding the various cities.
And Iser Hill is the commander-in-chief of Gabriel's Knights, the strongest fighting force in the Britannia Empire, and the 12th unified knight in the history of the empire.
He is currently the only unified knight in the empire.
Iser has made great contributions to the empire. Five years ago, at the age of 39, he was conferred the title of Earl of Hyde, and was conferred the title of the highest unified knight, in charge of the Knights of Gabriel.
Before, Deng Jiaer told Su Cheng that the person he admired most was Iser, because Iser was the youngest united knight in the current history of the Britannia Empire. At the same time, it is also known as the strongest knight in the Britannia Empire.
Therefore, for Deng Jiaer, who dreams of becoming a well-known general, Iser is simply an idol. reaction.
And such a big shot took the initiative to come to the stable to invite the little-known Su Cheng to have dinner with him.
…
Su Cheng still doesn't know about Iser's character, so he is afraid that if he refuses his invitation, Isere may hold grudges.
Being hated by the unified knights of the empire, this is not a good idea!
Therefore, in order not to cause trouble, Su Cheng agreed to Iser's invitation.
Su Cheng left a little Yinglang for Alan and Deng Jiaer to find a restaurant outside for dinner, and then went to have dinner with Issel.
Issel said that he would take Su Cheng to a restaurant that he often went to and had an excellent taste for dinner. Of course, he also said that Issel would pay for the dinner.
Su Cheng stood on Iser's right, half a body behind Isere. And Iser's daughter, Alisa, the Knight of Double Oaks, stood on the left side of Iser, walking side by side with him.
Su Cheng and Isser chatted enthusiastically while walking.
The two of them didn't talk about anything serious, they were just chatting about some daily life.
At first, Su Cheng thought that Iser, as an imperial knight, would become serious and rigid after years of fighting in the army.
However, it turns out that he was overthinking.
Isel is so kind and talkative! After a while, Su Cheng chatted with Issel.
"Oh? Mr. Cheng is also 17 years old this year, which is about the same age as my daughter Alyssa. Alyssa is 19 years old this year, two years older than you."
"Your Excellency Iser's daughter is truly a remarkable person,
Became a Knight of Double Oaks at just 19 years old. "Su Cheng sighed half-truthfully.
"Thank you." After hearing Su Cheng's praise, Alisa tried her best to put on a calm expression, but Su Cheng could still see some pride and complacency in her expression.
Su Cheng has also heard of Alisa Hill's name.
As the daughter of the strongest knight in the empire, Alisa inherited her father's powerful military talent. She joined the army at the age of 15, became a knight of Xingui at the age of 17, and became one of the knights. Not long ago, she was promoted to the knight of Double Oaks at the age of 19.
Known as the rising genius of the empire, he has attracted much attention.
However, although Su Cheng only felt a little admiration for Alisa's achievements, the admiration for Alisa just now was half-truth and half-false.
Why do you say that.
It’s similar to when you tell a doctor that there is a teacher who is very good at teaching students, and he teaches students so well that he has taught many amazing talents, and then how will the doctor react?
It probably means "It's amazing" and "Awesome", and then there is nothing else.
The worlds they live in are completely different. Alyssa is from the military, and Su Cheng is just a commoner. When he tells Su Cheng about the awesome things in the army, he can only say "Awesome", It didn't make much sense.
Alisa remained silent almost the whole time, so basically only Issel and Su Cheng were chatting.
Unknowingly, Iser led Su Cheng to the delicious restaurant that Iser had mentioned.
It is a restaurant that is not very big and does not look very luxurious.
"The taste of this restaurant is really good!" Iser said to Su Cheng, "It's very popular every meal time, basically you can't find a seat, and you can't reserve a seat here , but I am an old acquaintance with the owner of this restaurant, so I can book a seat with him in advance, otherwise I would not even be able to find a seat."
Iser laughed and pushed open the door of the restaurant, and Su Cheng hurriedly followed.
After entering the restaurant, the noise of noise and the clash of bowls and spoons came towards Su Cheng's shop like a tsunami.
Looking around, every table in the restaurant is full of people, and people are happily eating, drinking and making noise.
Such a popular restaurant. It seems that the food in this restaurant tastes really good. Su Cheng couldn't help but have some expectations for the food in this restaurant.
There seems to be only one waiter in this restaurant, and she is still a girl. After seeing Issel and Su Cheng, the waitress happily came to Issel in three quick steps. in front of.
"Mr. Issel, you are here. It's been a long time since you came to eat. The boss always complains to me why you don't come here to eat."
"Hahaha, Laika, I haven't seen you for a long time. There are a lot of things going on recently, and I can't help it."
"Haha, if you show up to us from time to time, the boss will be very happy. I'll take you to the seats you reserved first."
After all, the waitress whom Iser called Laika led the group of them to an empty table.
After sitting down and ordering a few dishes, Iser and Su Cheng continued to chat enthusiastically.
Of course, we are still chatting about some daily routines.
Su Cheng also gradually fell in love with the uncle Issel.
He originally thought that Iser would be a difficult person due to his high status and authority, but after getting along with him, he found that Isere was easy-going, just like an ordinary kind uncle, and it was completely unimaginable for him The strongest knight in the empire.
It's just that Iser's daughter, Alyssa, is more difficult to get along with. She always looks arrogant, keeps silent the whole time, and basically doesn't join the chatting ranks of Su Cheng and Iser.
And Iser became more and more interested in the young man in front of him.
When many young people heard his name, they were so frightened that they couldn't speak clearly. A very few of them could not even stand up straight. Those who were in better condition would also become stiff.
On the contrary, this Su Cheng, ever since he knew that he was Iser, the strongest knight in the empire, maintained a calm appearance throughout the whole process. He was not afraid of him, and could easily talk and chat with him, neither humble nor arrogant.
For Iser, he has only met a few of such young people in his life, and he couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Su Cheng in his heart.
In fact, if Su Cheng knew about these thoughts in Iser's mind, Su Cheng might burst out laughing.
Because he was pretending the whole time.
When chatting with Iser, Su Cheng always had a sense of awe and a little fear in his heart. However, thanks to the "emotional management" and "expression management" that he has been practicing for a long time, Su Cheng managed to maintain a calm appearance to get along with Issel.
Soon, the dishes were successfully prepared and served.
"Come on, let go of your stomach and eat, Mr. Cheng." Isser said enthusiastically, "It is said that Owen... oh, that is, the owner of this restaurant hired a new chef to be lazy, and now most of the dishes here It's all made by this new chef, let's try it together, I have never tasted the skills of this new chef."
"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite."
Ok? How do you feel this smell...
Su Cheng savored the taste of the food he just put in his mouth. Delicious is very delicious.
However, why do I always feel that this taste is a bit familiar?
After Iser put the food on the fork into his mouth, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Hmm! It's delicious! It seems that the newly hired chef's craftsmanship is good! It tastes even better than that guy Owen's cooking!"
And Alisa, who had always been proud, had her eyes lit up after taking a bite of the food, and she started eating at a much faster speed.
When Su Cheng was eating, he didn't like to talk very much.
And Iser also keenly discovered that Su Cheng didn't seem to like to talk when he was eating, so Iser temporarily gave up chatting with Su Cheng during the meal, and turned to talk to the person sitting next to him. Alyssa chatted casually.
And when Iser and Alyssa were talking about each other, Su Cheng finally saw the girl named Alyssa and laughed.
This was the first time Su Cheng saw Alisa smile since he knew her.
Soon, all the food on the table was swept away.
"Ha! It's really delicious!" Isser stroked his belly, "It seems that Owen's luck is really good, he hired a good chef."
"Well, yes, the taste is really good." Su Cheng echoed.
"Mr. Cheng," the casual look on Iser's face dissipated a little, and his face became a little more serious, "Actually, I am very interested in the 'Experiences in the Art of War' you wrote, your Some viewpoints are very novel, and I admire some of your viewpoints very much, so I especially want to discuss with you your 'experiences in the art of war'."
After hearing Issel's words, Su Cheng's hand holding the teacup trembled imperceptibly, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he quickly wiped it off.
