The Legend of Sun Knight Voluinal novel in Chinese by: 御我 (Yu Wo)

Fifth Rule of Sun Knights: ”Save up for Retiree” - translated by Raylight

The northwest execution ground outside the city really is not just a normal distance away In order to preventthe row of corpses after walking all the way there, I reluctantly decided to bear the pain of spendingme there

I could have returned to the Holy Tee instead, but then I would have to ht's brilliant smile and perfect demeanor in front of the driver…

In my current feeble situation where I can't even fully s the retirereat effort After all, if I were to die now, then the retirely would be useless, right?

At the carriage rental area, I chose a carriage that looked like it could still arrive at the execution ground without falling apart, and an old coacher were a e and, although it ss, I was too tired to care I nested in the corner and made myself comfortable Gradually, my consciousness becae was just as comfortable as a baby's cradle…

Boo with a large, swollen bue had braked suddenly, causing e in front of me so hard that even the board had broken

I started thinking, Perhaps I could also pay a su the corpses at the execution ground, and then let this coach” there?

”Pardon hts suddenly stopped up front, so I had no choice but to use the eency brakes,” The coachh his etic in the least

Knights? I rubbed hts are actually pretty , for both wield weapons, ride horses, wear a suit of armor, have to be a meat shi+eld in coh! It should be, both use their own bodies to block off attacks on other groupthemselves to protect others with every breath in their body until death

The only difference is that the foriance to the people However, because Holy Knights serve God, they have various kinds of special abilities For exahts have a ”Self-Recovery” ability, so our bodies' recovery rate is super fast!

For example, I had just spilled a whole street's worth of blood yesterday, yet a that definitely cannot be achieved by a knight; it's ht after they finish spilling all their blood

As for the people-serving knights, of course they wouldn't be able to get any help froher than ours, and not just two or three ti as he can survive until retireh e luxuriously However, for a Holy Knight… If one does not accept private jobs, even the Twelve Holy Knights that have worked to the top would still have to live their life thriftily Otherwise, when they retire, they'll realize that they don't have a single cent to their na to see the God of Light directly, or having to fight over er people to earn money even when they're already fifty, sixty years old

(Whisper) For exaest Sun Knight in history is now an adventurer, cohting evil with evil against er generation and upholding justice

Anyway, before rave tone, ”Child, if you don't want to be forced to become a cleric after you retire… and with your swordsht… Then you must save well for your retiree”

When I thought about this, I started to feel regretful over e I should have walked there, for I believe withability, I probably wouldn't have died halfway

Just as I was feeling regretful, there was suddenly an uproar co, and people shouting

”What happened?” I asked ie

Just as I stuck my head out, I happened to see the coachreat! He ran off as though he had groings, in the blink of an eye beco little more than a speck of dust in the distance

damn coachman, don't let me find you in the future! Otherwise, I will definitely take you to see the Judge you with the offense of purposely abandoning the Sun Knight!

After I ”blessed” that coachht soon in my heart, I turned my head around, and finally understood why the coachhts who didn't look too friendly

”Go back!”

The three knights were originally watching the escaping coachman, stunned, but the leader was obviously experienced and returned to his senses quickly Seeingthe leader of the Twelve Holy Knights, no one had dared to roar at me in my whole life, with the exception ofas oblivious to the situation I can't believe that today ”The holy knight who is having difficulties at the execution grounds is being bullied by knights”1 is actually happening Three uys better watch your backs!

Do you believe that I'll, I'll—…go back and tell Judght to beat you all into a pulp!

Hey! You're not allowed to say that I' a whole street worth of blood, and then let's see if you can do anything the next day other than being lovey-dovey with your bed!

I have always said that reat”, but that is only in cohts and hts, e!

However, don't forget that I aht My salary isn't sacrificed in vain, for after adding in a whole bunch of hodgepodge holy skills, ht! Moreover, taking into account the holy knights' extremely unusual self-recovery abilities, ht!

Nonetheless, letan entire street's worth of blood, forget about dueling with a high level knight, even the action of pulling out a sould be the kind of vigorous activity that should be avoided Thus, I rubbedfroe into the driver's seat, I wielded the horseith little skill and commanded the horses to hurry and turn back

”Consider yourself sensible enough!” The three knights see for trouble either, and after seeingobediently, they paid me no further attention and rode their horses in the opposite direction

They are riding in the direction of the execution ground, I observed as I sneakily turned h distance between us, I brandished the horsewhip again to let the carriage continue onwards, while I just the trees on the side of the road As long as I don't walk on the hts probably won't notice hts were going to the execution grounds see a conspiracy It would be great if this conspiracy had so! Even if it had no connection, at ation first

Afraid ofthe opportunity to crack a conspiracy, I did not useto advance further, but instead stepped up h I had a premonition that my injury would probably re-open tomorrow, it didn't matter, for if my self-recovery abilities were claihts, no one would dare claim to be nu as I rested for a whole day, I'd definitely be able to get up from bed the next day If I were to rest for three full days, even ifa stroll outside,out of breath, I would still be able to get up for breakfast and apply my facial es to having injuries heal so quicklyEver since it was discovered by that damn old man the Pope, my sick leave has always been shorter than everyone else's…

After cursing that old fellow for a while, I saw the short clay walls of the execution ground It was a large, circular arena, and its only surroundings were those tiny, low clay walls In the center was a square with the execution device, which was rather crude as well, for it was consisted of only three wooden stands with a rope hanging down from the middle The lowest point of the rope was a siround was the oldest in history, as well as the most run-down one Criminals with serious crimes or those with even a bit of status would not be transported here for executions Generally, only the lowliest of bandits, whose lives no one cared about would be sent here

However, this Leaf Bud City is after all the capital of the Kingdootten Sound Moreover, it is also the headquarters of the God of Light's devotees Thus, on one street there ht Militia Squadron having a friendly duel, and then walking onto the next street one would see a few Holy Knights contesting whose holy ht see a few clerics preaching

Thethe city at different times every day In the ten years that have passed, the total nuht for various crimes is 1056

Tell me, ould dare to steal or rob?

Because of the lack of criround was also pretty much abandoned

But then it's due to this kind of abandoned look that leads to various kinds of sneaky , for there were actually corpses that are not cri dumped here If there are corpses, thatLooks like the capital is still not as peaceful and safe as the Sanctuary of Light and the Holy Teriment! That cool face of his will definitely become even colder, until it can clean up the whole capital

The execution ground was desolate except for three horses tied at the side Looks like the three knights have already arrived

Although there was nobody here, the run-down house on the edge of the execution grounds had bright lights in thethat revealed a few faint human shadows

I cast two support spells on ht shi+eld2 that increases physical defense and the Wings of God3 spell that increases agility Then, I avoided the angles froht be able to see from the , and slowly moved closer to the house

”…Where is that corpse?” a rather fierce voice said from the small house

”Sir… There are many here… Here… Which one is it?” This voice was quite feeble with age, and even though I tried my best to eavesdrop, I still missed out on much of the conversation

At thistrees at the side of the house, not daring to advance any further The three knights were obviously inside, and sadly th froo any nearer, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn't discover ested that its oas desperately trying to restrain his anger

That feeble, aged voice cried out, ”Sir, I will not go and flip dead people's eyelids!”

”Blond, no, the hair color is closer to brown About twenty-three years old, with a rather handso face”

I furrowed my brows The description made me feel faintly uneasy… I wonder why?

Blue eyes, brown hair, twenty-three years old……He's the sa I believe that this e too

”Already buried…”

”How dare you lie to me!”

This was followed by a series of shrieks and blows After a while, that old, feeble voice said even o”

”Who?”

”A ht shone in ht! I can't believe that I actually guessed right, that these three knights really do have soht

Hirl? It's probably a s corpse! It was definitely Pink and her ”Cleaning Corpse”, which is an undead creature that she specially summoned to clean her house

”What did therage

Heh! You asked the wrong question You should have asked what the little girl looked like, I mocked spitefully

”The cloak hood was pulled really low… I couldn't see his face…”

”You birdbrain!”

”Let's kill him, in case he tries to reveal our identities”

”Spare me!” that feeble, old voice suddenly shrieked

My face beca to help in this kind of situation, where cri to eliminate their witnesses?

However, inkilled along the way as well

Should I save hi voice could be heard fronore them and the sounds of punches and kicks continued

bastards! I had been daydreauys still hadn't killed hih, so what's the point of attacking with mere limbs?! Don't you realize that when villains take their ti up to meddle in your business?

Especially when this defender of justice who has to show up is ht shi+eld and Wings of God spells were still activated, I sneaked a peek inside fro blows, and one lone knight was standing at the side with a gri to my theory that ”the boss usually only talks and does not take action”4, then this fellow ought to be the leader

In a low voice, I recited a ht, I clearly have the potential to be an exceptionally gifted cleric, as well as the qualifications of a talented ician In other words, I would excel in every profession except as a knight sob
