Chapter 399: Chapter 399

Establishing a Knight Order is not difficult; anyone willing can claim to have formed one. Even in a tiny corner village, some young folks can band together and call themselves the Silver Hand Knight Order or something similar.

In the Golden Pansy Territory, there are three or four kinds of knightly orders, but it is evident that these self-proclaimed orders do not have a legionary effect within the Golden Pansy Domain.

For instance, the Sun Flame Knight Order—Lin Rui is sure it exists somewhere and can provide strong traits for all its knights, enhancing their combat power.

But these Sun Flame Knights, within the Golden Pansy Domain, are merely ordinary knights. Their traits only exist amongst their squads. A squad consists of 12 people. Physical Defense +50%, and there is a 70% chance to gain 300 points of spiritual shield.

This trait is quite practical at Tier One and Tier Two.

But by Tier Three, it becomes rather inadequate, as the shield provided can only withstand an area-spirit magic bombardment. Currently, at Tier Four, their equipment alone offers over 200 points of fixed reduction, and if fully enhanced with runes, they have over 700 points of fixed damage mitigation.

Therefore, for Lin Rui to create a knightly order, he first focused on whether it could be recognized by the "Era of Civilization" and provide combat support for the entire order.

Looking at the sacred scroll in Hanna’s hands, apparently outlined by flames and Spiritual Energy, Lin Rui asked, "Can this scroll establish a formal and powerful knightly order?"

Hanna winked at Lin Rui, "Yes, indeed. This ancient document, the Knight Contract, was signed between human heroes and divine spirits. As agreed, a Knight Order created with the Knight Contract will uphold the sanctity and dignity of a divine spirit’s faith. In return, the gods will grant the order divine blessings."

Lin Rui glanced at the scroll in Hanna’s hand, its words arcane and profound. "Are there many of these sacred documents?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⸺fire.net

"There are quite a few. After all, in ancient times, there were many gods, and later on, various beings ascended to become divine spirits. The forefathers foresaw this situation and made several transcriptions of these precious documents."

Hanna chuckled and blinked, "Because of the unknown quantity, several knight orders in the empire with a bit of notoriety claim to have a Knight Contract. Before I came, I thought the Templar Order was just boasting. Unexpectedly, they truly have one, hidden in the deepest part of the library."

No one should think of enhancing the contract signed by the gods and human heroes; not even the dearest wife has such capability.

If she could alter its attributes, she wouldn’t be the Lucky Lady but should be called the Mother of Gods.

Lin Rui immediately used the scroll.

[Ding, according to the ancient contract document, you have the right to create a Divine Knight Order, please select a guardian divine spirit.]

[Ding, guardian divine spirit confirmed: Goddess of Fortune.]

[Ding, the Goddess of Fortune has accepted the knight order’s faith, divine blessing linked.]

[Ding, knight order successfully created, please name it.]

Name the knight order?

Lin Rui truly had no good ideas. He has always been bad at naming things; even the Golden Pansy Domain remains unchanged.

Thus, Lin Rui could only turn to those around him and ask, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Audrey, always full of vitality, eagerly responded, "Lucky Wings Knight Order! Sword of Happiness Knight Order! Divine Protection Knight Order!"

Hanna, who loves a bit of competition with her, immediately countered with three of her own, "Demon Hunter Knight Order! Red Flame Knight Order! Ironforge Holy Seal Knight Order!"

Lin Rui couldn’t help but look at the two in surprise, wondering why their naming styles differed so greatly.

Audrey stood with arms akimbo, confidently puffing out her chest, "What kind of lousy names are those? What on earth is the Ironforge Holy Seal Knight Order? It sounds so gloomy, and not sunny at all."

"Ha!" Hanna let out a disdainful laugh, "It’s better than your Sword of Happiness Knight Order! Those who don’t know might think we’re bumpkins from a small town."

"What’s wrong with a small town?" Audrey said proudly, "Our knight order members mainly come from the small towns and villages of the Golden Pansy Domain. The Golden Pansy Domain is just a happy, serene little town!"

Lin Rui sighed, realizing that everyone in the domain was poor at naming.

Better to name it directly after the domain.

[Ding, knight order named successfully, Golden Gillyflower Knights]

Since the Golden Pansy is also the flower of fortune, the Knight Order can also be referred to as the Lucky Warders Knight Order, highlighting the protection of the followers by the Goddess of Fortune.

[Ding, Golden Gillyflower Knights successfully created. Background generation in progress...]

[The Golden Gillyflower Knights originated from the Imperial exploration domain of the Golden Pansy Territory, establishing their base in the flat valleys beneath Bloodbath Mountain. All members of the order are knights from the Golden Pansy Territory, having saved civilians and defended towns and villages in the local mountains and plains. All members of the order are inspired by the courage and beliefs of the goddess, sworn to defend the Golden Pansy Domain and protect the faith in the Goddess of Fortune at all costs.]

[Ding, faith confirmed. Golden Gillyflower Knights faith territory religion—Saint Hall of the Goddess of Fortune]

[Ding, Goddess of Fortune confirms transmission of doctrines.]

[Courage: We endlessly maintain our courage, forge ahead, remain steadfast, and never retreat.]

[Faith: We firmly believe in the goddess’s blessing and grace, accepting revelations and teachings, using our strength to create a beautiful world.]
