Chapter 17: 17: Aftereffects of the Divine Fruit
Not far outside the city of Ulster, the Knights of the Red Branch set up camp.
The name of the Order of the Red Branch comes from the red branches growing on the trees near their camp.
To be precise, Kevin and Cu Chulainn were not unfamiliar with this.
Because they spent a lot of their childhood in a nearby kindergarten group.
The so-called junior group is an institution that gathers underage trainee soldiers and provides them with training.
early morning.
Kevin, wearing light armor, stood at the gate of the camp. He looked up at the flawless blue sky above his head, and his lips curled up slightly: "It looks like today is a good day."
"Just right for fighting, right!" Beside him, Cu Chulainn, his blue hair swaying slightly, laughed heartily.
Kevin has passed all the warrior trials, which took thirteen days.
Although there are as many as ten items, for Kevin, who was trained by Scathach through Spartan training, it is no different from a picnic or a walk.
The reason it took thirteen days was simply to enjoy the journey.
After all, Kevin knew very well in his heart that he would not be happy for long, as Scathach was still waiting for him.
By the way, it took Cu Chulainn fifteen days to complete all ten trials.
Now, there is only one last step left, and Kevin will be able to become an official member of the Red Branch Knights!
The final step is... get in!
"Oh... that little guy standing next to Cu Chulainn must be Kevin."
Inside the camp, a big man sitting at a table not far from the door looked through the gate at Kevin beside Cu Chulainn, and laughed at Connor beside him: "What? I thought he was a supernatural being, but now he looks like a child!"
"Bruel, just shut up!" Before Connor could reply, someone beside him said, "You said the same thing when Cu Chulainn came last time, and then what? You were the first to lie down!"
"Yes, I heard that the boy was a warrior who even beat Cu Chulainn!"
"What?" The sturdy man named Bruer said indignantly, "I am only telling the truth. Look for yourself, let alone Cu Chulainn, that fierce dog, but Kevin doesn't look like a warrior at all!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence at the scene. Even Connor...didn't know what to say.
Indeed, from Cu Chulainn's words, one can tell at a glance that he is a warrior, with clearly visible abdominal muscles and a bronze complexion.
Just standing beside him makes people feel strong and secure!
But Kevin...actually, at the age of fifteen, he has lost his childishness and is no longer as cute as he was at the age of ten. He is much more handsome now.
But because he had been taking the golden apple for many years, he didn't have any muscles on his body. When he stood next to Cu Chulainn and the others, it could only be said that there was no harm without comparison.
"If I hadn't been to the Colosseum!" Bruel continued, "I really think you guys are bragging!
Judging from the way this boy looks, I would believe you if you said he was a sissy!
Let's not talk about Kevin, the Son of Light, or the Man of Miracles! If you ask me, just add the title of Cute Warrior, it will spread faster and be more representative, hahahaha…!"
Bruer laughed happily, completely unaware of the increasingly strange looks from the people around him.
"Cough cough..." Cu Chulainn, who had walked into the camp at some point and came not far behind him, coughed twice in a pretentious manner and looked at Bruel sympathetically.
Then he tilted his head and yelled, "Everyone, get up! Gather here, my brother has joined us! Don't give me face, beat him up!"
Kevin glared at Cu Chulainn but didn't say much.
After all, he also knew the situation of the Knights of the Red Branch. There was no discipline here, and as long as they were loyal to the kingdom, they could do whatever they wanted.
Simply put, here, as long as your strength is recognized and you are one of them, you can do whatever you want!
This is why everyone must fight before joining the Red Branch Knights, which is also a kind of welcome ceremony in disguise.
In fact, even if Cu Chulainn did not shout loudly, many members of the Knights of the Red Branch had already gathered around.
The original reason for forming this rule was that the veterans wanted to give the newcomers a warning and let them know how powerful the Red Branch Knights are!
But as for Cu Chulainn and Kevin... Last time, Cu Chulainn almost defeated the Knights of the Red Branch and forced Connor out to fight.
Therefore, this time, the members of the Red Branch Knights gave Kevin enough respect. Otherwise, Kevin would have been blocked outside the camp instead of being allowed in for the welcome ceremony!
Bruel looked around at the people who were looking at him, clicked his tongue, stood up, raised the giant axe beside him, walked in front of Kevin, and shouted, "All of you get out of my way, I'll go first!"
Cu Chulainn patted Kevin on the shoulder, then walked to Connor's side, sat down comfortably, picked up the roasted pig's trotter on top, took a bite, and started watching the show!
"Are you going to fight him later?" Connor asked.
"Forget it this time!" After ten days or so, Cu Chulainn, whose wounds had long since healed, replied while eating meat: "You want to fight him?"
"No." Connor shook his head and said with a smile: "After he passed the ten warrior trials, he has actually become a member of the Knights. This is a welcome gift, so I won't join in the fun."
"Really?" Cu Chulainn said with some regret, "I was thinking that you might be able to take a look at his shot when you made your move!"
Hearing the shot, Connor couldn't help but frown.
As the younger brother of King Conchieber and the secret manager of the Red Branch Knights, Connor actually had some vague guesses about Kevin's mentor who was behind the shot.
After all, there are very few people in the world who can use that shot!
But...how is that possible?
Because it is impossible for that person to leave that place!
Connor asked Kaisba about this matter. He was the strongest druid in the kingdom, and Connor didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it.
And Kaisba knew for sure, because five years ago, Scathach had greeted him, but Kaisba did not tell him the answer.
Just as Connor was thinking about this, the battle started not far away.
In the open space surrounded by many knights, the strong man Bruel looked at Kevin holding a long sword in front of him, frowned, and said unhappily: "Where is your gun?!"
"It's broken," Kevin replied calmly. Seeing that he was about to say something, Kevin took the lead and said lightly: "Just use the sword. I can't swing a normal gun for more than a few times. Don't underestimate my swordsmanship. You should know that my father gave me a magic sword!"
Seeing Kevin bring out the Sun God Luger, Bruel didn't say anything more.
Kevin looked at him and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Use a gun? You wish, how can it be so easy for you!
With a gun, Kevin might not be able to control himself, but if he uses a sword, he can beat him up!
Obviously, Kevin heard what Brewer just said, after all, he had a loud voice.
And cute? ... Well, good, you stepped on a landmine!
Kevin is actually not too dissatisfied with his figure. After all, from a modern perspective, it is actually not bad.
He just has no muscles and his skin is whiter, giving people the feeling of a young and handsome boy.
But saying it out loud doesn't make people happy!
Kevin actually felt helpless in his heart. It's not like he didn't exercise. His exercise was specially designed by Scathach! But this is the sequelae of this divine fruit. There's nothing I can do about it!
