Knights, Incarnations of justice.
In the legends of Kazimierz, knights were valiant and generous, loyal to their superiors, compassionate to the common people, and willing to sacrifice their lives to defend their territories and protect their country.
In those picture books and bedtime stories, the knights who were the protagonists always embodied the knightly virtues.
Humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, spirituality, fairness, honor, sacrifice.
These knights defeated evil beasts in the wilderness, went to the Peak to slay Dragons, fought to the death with enemies invading their homeland on the borders, and finally won the princess and reached the Peak of their lives.
—What, Kazimierz has no royalty, so no princesses?
That's easy enough, Leithanien, Victoria, and Ursus are all monarchies, and they have plenty of princesses and imperial daughters over there. If that doesn't work, there are always daughters of dukes and marquises—they're a hot commodity!
At least in stories, knights basically all had a beautiful Nona.
However, beneath the beautiful facade of legend, the darker side of Kazimierz's knights was no less than that of medieval Earth.
In the eyes of the common people, they were knightly lords who were best avoided. A hundred years ago, when all knights were nobles and didn't need certification from the Knight Association, knights even held the power of life and death over the lower commoners.
Knight lords protected their people because the commoners were merely their property.
There are no records of the common people's lives from the past in Kazimierz now, but Goki found content similar to the right of the first night in Kaltsit's old belongings, in Kazimierz's related records.
In the customs area, there was an outside knight who, because the customs declaration process was too complicated, cursed people on the spot and almost hit an adult. He was then arrested by Security Knights on the spot, given a verbal warning, and then directly released.
It proves that humans always only remember and cherish good things. Some people regret that the glory of the knight era has been replaced by an entertainment-to-death modern economy, but they did not see the shadows that also disappeared under that glory.
To expect an entire class to be full of good people is pure fantasy, but... even in a class that has been left behind by the wheel of history, there will still be Shining humanity.
The last ray of sunset disappeared. In reality, the sun was still some distance from the horizon, but in the moving city, darkness always came a little earlier than elsewhere on the ground.
However, in the originally dark, cramped, and crowded alley, a dazzling light suddenly rose.
Pure golden light flashed into Goki's vision, then quickly rushed in front of Goki. His hand barely had time to press and pull Skadi beside him.
"Stop, not an enemy."
The fastest person Goki had ever met was undoubtedly Gladiia. This Second Captain, who could treat supersonic speed as her normal movement speed and only needed to occasionally cool her skin, her speed was an exceptionally powerful level.
If Goki had to put 50 points into strength to barely avoid having his pelvis crushed by his wife Skadi, then Goki would have to put at least 50 points into skill to avoid being mocked by his wife Gladiia in the bedroom with "Is that all?"
However, the Aura of her running was still not as surging and powerful as this light.
She was so radiant, exceptionally dazzling, yet not frightening, instead giving a sense of security and warmth.
This light precisely cut across Goki's side and stopped in front of the four of them.
The valiant female knight raised her shield, protecting Goki behind her, her flowing golden hair even brushing his face.
Half of the pitch-black arrow had plunged directly into the thick alloy shield, its sharpness imaginable.
These arrows seemed not intended to tear flesh, but to pierce armor.
And as she raised her shield, a golden glow covered Goki and the other three, effortlessly deflecting those pitch-black arrows.
Clearly, this unexpectedly intruding, fully armed female knight was on Goki's side.
No, to be precise—she would help whoever was losing!
The phrase "You are more dazzling than the sun" was no longer a cheesy love confession, but a solid fact—this female knight was glowing!
Moreover, the four people present seemed to have all seen her face—just a short while ago, her portrait was on the entire Kazimierz event broadcast screen.
"Margaret Nearl—tsk, stop. How could this guy, Aegir, not have kept an eye on her."
But, the first to speak was actually the leader of the attackers. She clicked her tongue lightly, clearly dissatisfied with this unexpected factor.
However, she then calmly pointed her bow and arrow at Goki, who was behind the female knight.
"Knight Nona, we are on a mission, and this matter is none of your business. We don't want to get into trouble!"
