Chapter 294 Knight Lion
"Time flies so fast. In a few months, I will be thirty years old..."
In Christine's private manor, the study is filled with furniture of rich Lorn classical style, carved solid wood desks, heavy bookcases, and classical writing desks. Christine, sitting in a wheelchair, sighed.
She suddenly felt that time was really flying.
Unknowingly, almost thirty years have passed in her life.
She has stepped up step by step and is about to fully master the sequence power of the third ladder.
She has discovered that serving, even if the object of service in her heart is the entire family, can effectively help her master the sequence power of the road to power.
"However, Butler Tio will be promoted before me. After all, he has fully mastered the sequence power of the third ladder. Only the ceremony of promotion to the 'Knight of Glory' remains."
If you want to be promoted to the "Knight of Glory", you must first complete the corresponding ceremony, that is, practice the various rules of the knight.
The knight's code is slightly different in each country, and the eight knight's codes widely circulated in Syat are "courage", "honesty", "generosity", "humility", "compassion", "honor", "sacrifice", and "piety".
Only by satisfying them can you achieve promotion.
"Speaking of the knight's promotion ceremony, if it were you, it would be easy to complete it..."
When Christine thought of this, she subconsciously looked at the man standing nearby.
Her sharpest sword, Andre Rhine, who has a noble temperament like an ancient knight, stood in the study and listened to Christine's words calmly.
"Yes, Miss Christine, time always passes so quickly, like a flying bird that will never stop..."
"But no matter how far time goes, I will accompany you and continue to walk on behalf of your legs."
Andre calmly expressed his feelings. For many years, he has always been by Christine's side, never asking for anything in return, but just thinking and fighting for Miss Christine wholeheartedly.
He is the grandson of Viscount Best, the most qualified person in this generation of the Rhine family, inheriting the powerful bloodline of the bronze lion, and is also a very excellent and upright man in character.
At the beginning, the lions even hoped that Andre could lead the family to rise again, but they didn't expect that man to be moved by Christine overnight and wanted to become her guard, her sharp blade.
People don't understand why such an excellent man like Andre didn't inherit the lion family properly, but instead became Christine Fischer's guard?
Even if the Fischer family is very powerful, he shouldn't be so dependent on others. At least for the proud lions, that is unacceptable.
"Love at first sight."
When the family members of the Lion Family asked him the reason, Andre answered his reason very calmly.
Everyone was shocked. Although Miss Christine was indeed very beautiful, she was a severely disabled person after all. I don't know what Andre was thinking. He fell in love at first sight. Could it be just to cling to the Fischer family?
Andre said seriously:
"I have fallen in love with Miss Christine. She is like a broken butterfly that never has complete wings but always wants to fly high."
"People think Miss Christine is a cold person, but I think she has a spirit of dedication deep in her heart."
"In fact, she never thought about herself, but treated her family wholeheartedly and was loyal to others."
Everyone only heard that Miss Christine was good at calculating and was quite cold-blooded to outsiders outside the family, but they didn't expect that Andre had so many advantages in her eyes.
His father was the new head of the Lion Family. After deep thought, he made suggestions.
"Andre."
"Why don't you just propose a marriage? With our relationship with the Fisher family, as long as you add some bargaining chips, you still have a great chance of marrying Miss Christine."
However, Andre shook his head and answered seriously:
"I'm not familiar with her yet, and she has always given a lot to the family. If she marries a man she doesn't love, that's something I don't want to see."
Everyone in the Lion Family was shocked and completely speechless by Andre.
However, at first, Christine did not agree with his unauthorized following at all, but instead asked Andre to do three extremely difficult things.
Loyalty in words is meaningless. She felt that whether Andre was good or bad in his heart was impossible to tell in a short time. After all, Andre was a descendant of Viscount Best, and he might have a huge ambition hidden deep in his heart.
So Christine wanted to test this man.
"If you can complete them all, I will allow you to follow me."
The first thing is to test his wisdom. Christine asked Andre to thoroughly investigate the Snow Night Murderer case that was a sensation at the time.
The murderer was very smart. He created several suspected accidental deaths and framed three people who intended to kill at the same time, making them scapegoats for his murders.
Ordinary people would think that the death was an accident. When smart people first solve the related puzzles, they will find the "truth" of the accidental death. At most, they will only arrest the three scapegoats who have criminal motives and great suspicions.
However, Andre not only found out the true identity of the murderer from the tiny doubts, but also chased the murderer in the snow for seven days and seven nights, and finally caught him alive.
The second thing was to test courage. Christine asked Andre to take people to travel far away at sea and obtain a fourth-level extraordinary material in the dangerous lightless sea.
It was indeed a very difficult thing, but Andre spent two full years and finally did it. He even brought back two fourth-level extraordinary materials.
The third thing was to test loyalty. Christine asked Andre to stay by her side for a year without talking, obey any orders, and never disobey.
However, Andre did not agree directly.
"The orders I can complete must not violate my principles."
He said calmly:
"Miss Christine, I hope you can respect my principles. I never kill innocent people, and I will definitely respond to the calls for help from women and children. In the end, I will not hurt my relatives and friends for no reason."
Christine in the wheelchair nodded gently and said calmly: "In this case, then you leave. It means you are not suitable to be my subordinate. Well, you failed."
Everyone thought that Andre would insist on persisting, or even beg hard. After all, he had paid so much sunk costs, and he was so full of love for Christine.
However, things were beyond everyone's expectations. Andre just nodded and turned away.
Finally, he was stopped by Christine.
"Although you didn't pass the test in the end, I agree that you can be my sword."
"You won."
At that time, Christine felt that she seemed to have passed Andre Rhine's test.
If Andre finally agreed to her and completed the test perfectly, she would certainly make him a trusted subordinate, but the relationship would end there.
——
After dealing with many family matters, Christine in the wheelchair said calmly:
"It's almost time, Andre, let them in."
"Yes, I understand."
Andre nodded lightly, opened the door calmly and walked out to inform the three people who were waiting for a while.
Soon the three "Purgers" came in, wearing brown coats and revolvers on their waists, and saluted Ms. Christine one after another.
The leading Order Road Purger took a deep breath, took out a stack of documents very solemnly, handed it to Ms. Christine, and said:
"Ms. Christine, this is the task you gave us. It took us several years to finally complete it. It was not easy."
"Fortunately, none of the three of us died in the end."
For several years, the three of them collected all kinds of intelligence and evidence all over the East Coast, and even almost got killed several times. It was not easy to survive until today.
Now, everything will finally pay off.
Christine read all the documents calmly, and several people waited silently. After more than an hour, she finally nodded seriously:
"Andre, go and invite my uncle, Lord Byrne, my mother Vanessa, and Mr. Moore."
"These things must be handled by my uncle, Lord Byrne. As for my mother and Mr. Moore, they will complete the ceremony of promotion to the fourth-level "Judge" together."
