Just like before, Arthur did not hide his admiration for Ilsa, took off his glasses, and looked at Ilsa: "You have successfully killed a hidden danger for the kingdom."
Ilsa said: "Such hidden dangers will still appear, especially in remote areas."
Arthur nodded: "With the further recovery of the magic power, many mice hidden in the darkness will jump out one after another. Ilsa Foster, you have passed the knight test, and the next road is a long way to go. I wish to become a knight!"
This is what Ilsa has been looking forward to: "I do!"
Arthur waved his hand: "Go get ready and arrive at the Knights Hall at eight o'clock."
"Yes." Ilsa left the hall and went to other rooms through the corridor.
Turning a corner, Teacher Galahad was waiting for her.
Galahad opened the door: "Come in."
Inside the room stood numerous pieces of medieval armor, including shields and swords.
"A long time ago, reserve knights needed to put on armor and participate in the promotion ceremony." Galahad proposed a black suitcase and handed it to Ilsa: "Since the rampant modern weapons, the innovation of the gentleman system, and the simplification of the ceremony, armor has long been used by us. abandon."
He waited until Ilsa opened the suitcase and said, "This is a suit specially made for you by the tailor, put it on."
Ilsa closed the suitcase, went to the adjacent dressing room, closed the door, changed into a suit, and walked back with her left hand in her trouser pocket.
"Teacher, there is something I don't quite understand." Ilsa asked directly: "The round table meeting should have originated from the Celts, right?"
However, Galahad said: "The Round Table Conference guards this land, this kingdom. This is a decision made by the sixth generation of Arthur and Merlin as early as the Middle Ages. You just need to remember that our allegiance is to the Kingdom of Great Britain."
Ilsa said: "This time on Danu Island, I saw the Druid system that also originated from the ancient Celts."
Galahad said seriously: "Unfortunately, they chose the wrong religion."
Ilsa stopped talking about this aspect and asked: "Teacher, can you tell me about the knight?"
Galahad flicked the matching steel sword on the armor: "Before the large-scale application of firearms, knights were not only a class, but also a manifestation of strength. The dissipation of magic power, the industrial revolution, and the widespread use of modern weapons changed the fate of knights! "
"Second-rank non-commissioned officers represented by Americans only focus on the use of guns, while Kingsman knights must also be proficient in riding, dancing, hunting, swimming, socializing, and etiquette."
Ilsa has experienced relevant training before and has already mastered it proficiently.
Galahad continued: "In the category of the second level, don't be superstitious about swords and melee combat. These are only the last resort for knights. Knights must believe in the power of modern weapons. This is the most effective way to kill the enemy. .”
"Behind us is a country, which is a huge war machine. The kingdom can provide us with all conventional weapons, magic and the power extended by magic power. It is essentially the use of energy. Modern firearms are also the use of energy. , as far as the current stage is concerned, the latter is no lower than the former, and perhaps there may be differences at levels I don't understand, but you are still far, far away from that step."
Like the strictest teacher, he told the students: "Just listen to the so-called knight's honor. Don't put down the most powerful weapon in your hand just because of the so-called honor, and rashly use the sword to fight people! That's not honor, that's it. It's stupid."
Ilsa replied solemnly: "I understand!"
She saw this truth clearly in Ronan.
The master and apprentice chatted about the recent situation in continental Europe, and soon someone came to inform that the promotion ceremony was about to begin.
Galahad took Ilsa to the underground of the manor, where there was the temple of the Knights of the Round Table.
"Don't be nervous, the promotion of the gentleman system has already been modernized and improved, and it's not that complicated." Seeing Ilsa's solemn expression, he said with a smile: "The promotion needs the most daily training, learning and actual combat. Your personal ability has already reached the second level. standard……"
Entering the Knights Hall, the old but tall Arthur was standing on the round stone platform.
Around, including Galahad, a total of six Knights of the Round Table appeared.
Four men and two women.
These people have taught Ilsa to use various heat weapons.
"Ilsa Foster, alternate member of the round table!" Arthur said loudly: "You will become a knight today!"
Ilsa stood solemnly with her hands down.
Arthur asked, "Gareth, is she skilled in combat with vehicles, ships, and aircraft?"
Gao Wen answered briefly: "Proficient!"
Arthur asked again: "Lancelot, can she skillfully use guns and hot weapons?"
Lancelot said: "Proficient!"
"Geraint, can she use bombs and missiles proficiently?"
"skilled!"
"Tristan, can she skillfully use cold weapons to fight?"
"skilled!"
"Gao Wen, can she be proficient in riding, dancing, socializing and etiquette?"
"skilled!"
"Galahad, she is skilled in secret agents!"
"skilled!"
Arthur drew out a knight's long sword, and slapped Ilsa's shoulder with the back of the sword!
The other six drew out their knight swords and slapped Ilsa's shoulders one by one starting from Lancelot!
From the height of the stone wall behind Arthur, light seeped out at this moment, and spots of light fell on Ilsa.
"You have been recognized by the sages!" Arthur said loudly.
Ilsa suddenly had a feeling that her body was full of vitality, her strength increased suddenly, her mind was bright, her spirit was high...
A lot of knowledge and skills I have learned flashed in my brain, and I had a deeper understanding in just a short moment!
Described in magnitude, from proficiency to proficiency by leaps and bounds!
That stone wall opened to both sides with a bang!
Inside shines a rare magic gem light!
The light illuminated the uneven stone ground, on which were inserted one after another knight's long swords!
Arthur said to Ilsa: "Go, go and draw out your knight's long sword."
Ilsa remembered the legend of King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone, and guessed that the end of the ceremony might come from this.
Legend has it that Galahad was the only Knight of the Round Table to hold the Holy Grail.
Ilsa glanced at the teacher, and quickly walked into the stone gate!
The area here is much larger than it looks from the outside, not smaller than the huge Kingsman Manor.
Looking forward, you can see one pair of sarcophagi after another!
The knights of the round table of all ages are buried here!
Ilsa understands that this is the real Knights Temple!
Did the harvest just now have anything to do with them?
…………
Another safe house for Ilsa in the North End of London.
Ronan took out the heavy weapon with empty ammunition, reloaded the RPG7, replaced the Vulcan cannon with a new ammunition box, and set the few C4 bombs as timing and remote control bombs.
The used AT4 recoilless gun was a single-use weapon, and the tube was thrown into the sea when leaving Danu Island.
Then check the ammunition. C4, grenades, rockets, ammunition boxes and various magazines consume a lot, especially C4 and Vulcan ammunition, which are very few in stock.
Gatling is so easy to use, it is easy to become addicted after using it once, and the ammo is consumed a bit fast.
Needless to say, C4 must be used for setting off fireworks, and whoever uses it will know.
On the contrary, the air-to-air Stinger missiles and 107 mortars have not been used during this time.
The latter is definitely not as convenient as RPGs and recoilless guns.
The former is mainly because they haven't played against air units.
Ronan bought the Stinger mainly for safety, and he didn't want to fight against heavy air units.
Not to mention heavy fighter jets and surface-to-air missiles, machine guns can't stand it.
Before returning to Los Angeles, it is necessary to go to Yuri to replenish the ammunition inventory.
Like the Vulcan cannon, it is inconvenient to replace the ammunition box, so buy a few more spares.
There are some heavy weapons that you can't use if you don't need them, but you have stocks in your hands, so you have confidence in your heart.
Ronan took out his dedicated mobile phone and sent a message to Yuri to make sure that the other party was in Morocco, selling arms to various messy organizations in Africa.
Just in time to pack up the arsenal and check that it's not early, Ronan washes up and rests.
Ronan received a message from Ilsa before that she was preparing to be promoted to a second-tier knight.
The second-tier knight of the gentleman system also focuses on the use of modern weapons.
Ronan thought of himself, the promotion to the second rank is only the last two.
To this day, Ronan has killed quite a few second ranks, from the earliest perfume master Grenouille and two American mercenaries, to the most recent druid on Danu Island.
Although most of them use methods such as assassination, poisoning, blasting, and sneak attacks, Ronan will not underestimate himself. Even if he has not been promoted to the second level, his actual combat ability is no worse than the average second level.
On the one hand, the battle is not a direct comparison of ranks, and so far I have not encountered an enemy that cannot be handled by overheated weapons.
Except for the hero of Gaul, Aubrey, the Shield of Joan, who is very difficult to deal with, the other guns, explosives and poisons are all effective.
On the other hand, the process of Ronan's promotion to Predator is obviously a substantial improvement in all aspects of body including spirit.
Moreover, it is also possible to cheat by using the ability to absorb souls and steal others.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Ronan listened carefully, and someone outside the door called him in a low voice, it was Ilsa.
Opening the door, Ilsa in a lady's suit came in with two bags and asked him, "Have you had enough sleep?"
Ronan said, "I've had enough sleep."
Ilsa threw a bag to Ronan: "Take you somewhere, we'll go shopping tonight."
Ronan opened the bag, and inside was a black sports sweater, the kind with a hood.
The two changed clothes and went out.
This time Ilsa drove, but did not leave the North End of London, but continued to go north.
"Every Friday morning, there is a morning market at the flea market in the north." Ilsa said simply: "It often sells some weird things, most of which are deceiving people by using garbage as treasures, and occasionally encounter good things. My teacher bought a magic gem there."
"It's good to go and have a look." Ronan understood that this is a second-hand goods market similar to the original World Lian Tan.
When Ilsa was on Danu Island, she couldn't see the existence of the dementors at all. Not only did Ronan find out, but also cleaned up the dementors: "You have a different eye for things, let's try our luck."
Ronan thought he was shopping with Ilsa, and he asked instead, "Is Danu Island dealt with?"
Regarding her own organization, Ilsa didn't elaborate: "I waited until the official people came and handed it over to them. It involved extraordinary things and brought them back to London."
It was close to two o'clock in the morning, and I came to the northern suburbs of London, where there was an abandoned subway station, and the flea market was inside.
There are more than 30 abandoned subway stations in London, most of which have become centers for homeless people or certain underground transactions.
The car stopped on the street. Ronan and Ilsa put on their hoods and walked down the steps. A small door opened on the side of the shutter door of the closed subway station.
Someone stood by the door and charged: "10 pounds per person!"
Ronan gave him 20 pounds, and followed Ilsa through the door.
The inside of the subway station is messy and dirty, and there is an unpleasant smell. The incandescent lamps that are pulled up are not bright enough, and they keep shaking when the subway passes by, like will-o'-the-wisps.
There are sixty or seventy booths around the walls, and hundreds of people are strolling around.
Ilsa held Ronan's hand, looked from the left, saw an Easter egg at the second booth, and asked Ronan: "How about this?"
Ronan's spiritual vision can only see the soul and spirit body, so he can't tell the real from the fake, so he whispered: "If you like it, buy it."
As soon as he came in, he turned on his spirit vision, but it was useless.
Suddenly, feeling something staring at his back, Ronan turned his head away, but there was no one.
Ilsa noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ronan shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to say nothing, he found a lot of birdcages piled up on the opposite stall, and the stall owner was selling birds.
"Go and have a look." He walked over there.
Ilsa followed.
The stall owner sells a variety of birds, and you can see parrots, crows, owls and robins from a distance, and there are some species that Ronan can't name.
