Chapter 520 Referee Knight
Fulvio is a referee knight. As a knight trained by the church referee, he has received rigorous training since he was a child.
Church knights are different from noble knights. Most of them do not have a prominent background or noble blood, nor do they have honorable titles or honors inherited from their fathers.
The vast majority of them are orphans adopted by church churches in various places. Children who are healthy and talented are selected from them, and then sent to training camps in local dioceses to receive strict training before becoming A knight's apprentice.
The training of the Guardian Knights is slightly different from that of the Noble Knights. They do not need to learn how to command the army. After all, the Church does not have so many ordinary mortal forces for them to command.
At the same time, they do not need to learn complicated aristocratic etiquette, because the church is separate from the secular world, and secular etiquette has nothing to do with the church. It is enough to know basic social etiquette responses that will not embarrass the church.
But in contrast, the apologist knights must learn the scriptures and classics of various churches, because they are knights of the All Father, and being able to recite scriptures and understand doctrine is a must for every member of the church. To do something, the guardian knights just don't need to be as proficient as the priests.
However, even so, those large scriptures and classics are not much easier to learn than various military knowledge.
Not to mention, they also need to learn the knowledge necessary for identifying heresies and discovering the activity tracks of various evil sects.
In addition, they must master martial arts, physical training, maintenance of armor and weapons, various religious rituals, etc.
Only when they master all of this can they be regarded as a qualified church knight apprentice.
Yes, just an apprentice, not a trainee knight.
Because they also need to be assigned to different departments of the church according to their different talents.
Those who become defensive knights are relatively simple. What they have to learn is how to keep themselves bright and beautiful, show the majesty and glory of the church, and at the same time provide protection for important figures in the church.
This is not an easy job, but compared with referee knights, it is still relatively easy to accept.
After all, what they want to learn is how to protect important people. Relatively speaking, there is a set of fixed procedures, and important people in the church are generally not in any danger.
The last time an important figure in the church was attacked and assassinated was decades ago.
But on the other hand, the job of the referee knight is not that easy.
Fulvio still remembers that on the first day he became a trainee referee knight, he was taken to the dark cell of the Inquisition to see how the cultists who believed in heretical gods were twisted into.
Although he had been exposed to relevant knowledge in the training camp, when he saw with his own eyes that a cultist who believed in heretical gods had tree roots growing on his face, he still felt that this thing was somewhat physically challenging. It's the limit.
Although the gods believed in by most evil sects do not physically distort the flesh of believers, there are still a small number of extremists who will cause some indescribable or indescribable mutations to appear on themselves due to various blasphemous reasons.
Folvio once saw that the initiation ceremony of an evil sect was to cut off one's own head, resulting in the entire sect being headless.
And among the various evil god sects, this kind is still relatively anthropomorphic. Those who are really not anthropomorphic are so mutated that they are beyond recognition. After Fulvio became a regular knight, his first mission with a magistrate was to investigate the sudden and mysterious death of an adult male in a certain area.
The dead adult male bodies found at that time all had traces of bites from wild beasts, mainly concentrated on the abdomen. They looked like they had been attacked by some kind of large beast. Same.
However, according to the investigation, there were no large beasts roaming the area, and these people were all found indoors, so the investigation suddenly reached a deadlock.
When Fulvio and the others finally found the culprit under the leadership of the magistrate, what they saw was a girl with a delicate and delicate appearance.
It wasn't until they knocked off the robe that she was wearing that Fulvio and the others saw that there was something that shouldn't be there on this delicate and beautiful girl.
On her belly is a big mouth full of sharp teeth, which is constantly dripping highly corrosive saliva.
They finally understood why those adult men showed signs of being bitten by beasts indoors.
Such examples are not uncommon for referee knights.
Because of this, the referee knight needs to have the strongest faith and will to be able to face these evil spirits and heresies without wavering at all.
At the same time, they also need to resist all kinds of temptations, because the heretics and evil gods will always use various desires to tempt you into their arms. If you cannot resist these temptations, then your fall will only happen in an instant. .
In addition to these, the referee knight also needs to learn how to identify the traces of the evil sect's mission.
After all, some evil sects are indeed blatant, but some are very obscure and secretive. If you don't know how to identify them, it will be difficult to find traces of the evil sect's activities.
Therefore, regarding the Northern Territory officials' desire to set up a special supervision department to control the spread of the evil sect in the Northern Territory, Fulvio can only say that the idea is good, but it is not practical.
In his opinion, those northern knights are indeed good at fighting, but they are not professional enough to be qualified for such a job.
There are too many things that need to be learned in order to be competent in related work, and those northern knights have missed too many lessons in this regard.
However, the church strongly supported this matter, so Fulvio and several of his colleagues were sent to this newly formed department to teach relevant knowledge to the members of this newly formed department. and experience.
Fulvio has no idea of ​​cherishing this. After all, these things are inherited by the church, and the church itself is not opposed to passing them on. What can he, a mere referee knight, think?
Not to mention that in the view of referee knights like Fulvio, the knowledge on how to identify heresies and evil sects should be disseminated on a large scale, so that the people can have the ability to identify and not be deceived by those heresies.
So Fulvio taught very seriously, and the knights and staff in the north also studied very seriously.
And they soon ushered in their first mission, which was to eradicate the evil sect's den in a settlement and completely eradicate all the cultists.
