Chapter 57

"Master Diarmuid, do you have time tomorrow night? I hope to be with you—" A beautiful girl was standing under a big tree, blushing The handsome young man told his feelings.It's a pity that she was interrupted by the boy before she could finish her sentence. "Sorry, I don't have time, thank you for your kindness." "If you have something to do, I can wait for another time, no matter what night." The girl was not defeated by the boy's refusal, but continued her efforts .

At this moment, suddenly the leaves on the big tree made a huffing sound, and a black-haired girl poked her head out from above, and said to the girl who was confessing with a smile, "Sorry, he doesn't care what night it is." I'm not free!" After saying this, she jumped down into the arms of the young man.In the face of other people's confession of being calm, the young man couldn't help showing a panicked expression when he saw the black-haired girl's action. He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he hugged her tightly to his chest like a princess. .

After leaning firmly on the boy's chest, the black-haired girl immediately followed up on the words just now, and responded domineeringly: "Because all his nights have been contracted by me!" Hearing this sentence, not only the girl who just confessed The boy turned pale in shock, and even the boy blushed, and whispered to her, "Jodele, what are you talking about?" Jodel turned around and asked, "We are together every night, I didn't Did you make a mistake?" The girl who was confessing her love looked at the two people who were "in love with each other" in front of her, and immediately blushed with embarrassment, and shouted, "You guys are such a bully!" Then she ran away crying, Only Yodel and Diarmuid were left looking at each other.

"Okay, now you can let me down~" Yodel patted Diarmuid's shoulder, motioning him to put himself down.However, after waiting for a long time, she also felt that Diarmuid moved.At this time, Diarmuid was immersed in his own world. He felt that the girl in his arms was light and soft, and he wanted to keep holding her like this. "Xiao Di, Xiao Di, what's wrong with you?" Diarmuid didn't come to his senses until Yodel called his name loudly again.After the girl left his arms, he felt a little lost with the empty Diarmuid in his hand, but soon his little emotions were dispelled by Jodel's words.

"You said she was the first girl to confess to you this month?" Jodelle's tone was rather helpless. "I don't know, probably the fifth or sixth..." Diarmuid lowered his head in embarrassment. "It seems that you will become handsome when you grow up, but it's a pity that I can't see you now, otherwise I might be fascinated by you too!" Jodel leaned under the tree and smiled lightly at Diarmuid with.

It has been two years since Yodel and Diarmuid returned to Ireland, when she was 16 and he was 17.After Jodell came back, the first thing Angus did was to put the sealed bracelet on Jodell again, and after the divine power was sealed, the world in Jodell's eyes also fell back into darkness.When she was a child, she could still rely on a little divine power to perceive the world, but this time the seal set by Angus was even tighter than before, making her directly change from a violent woman who can smash rocks with her bare hands to a powerless woman. blind girl.

"I did this for your own good. If your divine power is losing, the last thing you lose is your vitality." Angus' words were deep and deep, but to Diarmuid's ears, they sounded like a bolt from the blue.He didn't expect that it would cost Jodelle not only divine power but also her own life to save him again and again.From that day on, he became even more determined to protect Yodel.

"Okay, don't try to change the subject." Diarmuid tried his best to calm down his thoughts, and then said seriously, "Do you know how dangerous your jumping from the tree was?" "But, I know you will definitely catch me!" Jodel affirmed. "Well...that, anyway, it won't be allowed in the future!" Diarmuid's red face, which had finally faded away, surged up again after hearing Jodel's words.

"Okay, okay, I know!" Jodel nodded without sincerity. "What else do we say that we are together every night, don't talk nonsense, it will be misunderstood!" Diarmuid emphasized. "I'm not wrong, don't we eat together every night? Besides, if I didn't say that, how could she run away so quickly? I'm helping you, okay?" Jodel said with a full face Not convinced. "..." Diarmuid felt that what she said made sense, and he was speechless. "Forget it, I'll just use another excuse in the future." Jodelle tugged at her braid depressedly.

Looking at the girl standing under the tree, Diarmuid realized that Yodel seemed to be found from home alone. "Is there something you came to see me for?" If there was nothing to do, Jodelle would rarely come to his training ground alone.

"The girl interrupted me just now, and I almost forgot about my business." Jodelle took out a crooked garland from her arms as she spoke, "You are going to participate in the Fiona Knights' ceremony tomorrow. You have passed the test for joining the regiment, right? This victory wreath is for you, I wish you a smooth pass tomorrow and become a real knight!"

Although the wreath was not beautifully woven, he put it on top of his head with great care.Looking at her sweet smile, Diarmuid solemnly promised, "I will definitely win!"

For more than half a year, Diarmuid has been stepping up his preparations for the entrance examination of the Fiona Knights.As a young warrior, it would be a very honorable thing for Diarmuid if he could become a knight of Fiona Knights.However, before the three rigorous entrance tests of the Fiona Knights, even Diarmuid, who is very talented in fighting, did not dare to slack off easily.

The entry test for the Knights of Fiona was conducted in a dense forest.On the day when Diarmuid participated in the test, not only Finn, the leader of the Fiona Knights, came to the scene in person, but even Diarmuid's adoptive father, Angus, watched the excitement. "Diarmuid, I look forward to your passing these three tests and becoming a member of our Knights!" Finn patted Diarmuid on the shoulder and laughed.

"I will do my best to live up to your expectations!" Finn is a hero he has admired since he was a child. Facing the care from his idol, Diarmuid immediately responded excitedly and loudly.Angus didn't come forward to say anything to him, but gave Diarmuid a victory gesture from a distance, which was regarded as encouragement to him.

The first test of the Knights of Fiona is the agility of the fighters. Participants are required to first step over a tree stick as high as a person, and then get under a tree branch that is only knee high. A thorn, these can only be done while running fast.This test was naturally not difficult for Diarmuid, who had been extremely agile since he was a child. It only took him a while to complete this project, which amazed everyone in the Knights.

However, compared with the first test, the second test is much more dangerous.The knights dug a pit as deep as Diarmuid's waist in the dense forest, and asked Diarmuid to stand in it.Afterwards, nine warriors will shoot at him with nine spears at a distance of 10 plow widths from him. If he is injured at all, he will not be able to join the Fiona Knights.

"Excuse me, can I use my own weapon against the spear?" Diarmuid asked Finn after digging the deep pit. "Son, you can choose a light weapon as a tool to resist, but you can't use a long sword, a long/spear, etc." Finn replied. "It's okay, I just need to use this dagger that my adoptive father gave me!" Diarmuid took out a small dagger from his waist. He usually used this dagger to carve wooden product.

After Diarmuid stood in the deep pit, the other nine knights of the Knights stood not far from him, surrounding him with spears, but Diarmuid was not afraid at all, just raised Holding the dagger in a fighting stance. "Listen to my lead, shoot!" Following an order, the nine spears shot straight towards Diarmuid's direction.Hearing the sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping", Diarmuid knocked down all the nine spears, without any trace of injury on his body.

"Good job! Diarmuid!" Finn couldn't help clapping his hands.Diarmuid can be said to be the most talented child he has seen in so many years. He is very happy when he thinks that another powerful knight will be born in the Knights in the future.Moreover, in terms of blood relationship, Diarmuid is still his nephew. From this point alone, he is worthy of joy for him.

"There is one last test left, but I believe you can pass it easily!" Finn looked at the unharmed Diarmuid and praised with a smile.The last test is to be familiar with the twelve books of poetry and to be able to create and recite rhymes by themselves.Although Diarmuid's musical talent is not good, but under the upbringing of Angus, the god of youth, his culture level is still much higher than the average level of the knights. This test is exactly as Finn said , to him it is simply a sub-question.

However, the test questions of this test made him face a difficult situation. "Please compose a rhyme for the person you admire in your heart!" Diarmuid was stunned for a moment when he heard this topic, and then secretly glanced at Angus who was standing by, his heart beating drums uncontrollably , What should I do with this poem!

Seeing Diarmuid's stealthy glance at him, Angus thought he was asking him for help again, and he couldn't help but heave a big sigh when he thought of the object of courtship that this half-baby had rejected all these months. "Diarmuid, is this topic difficult for you?" Finn asked strangely. "Okay, don't embarrass this kid. He only thinks about how to train himself all day long, and he hasn't found anyone he likes." Angus finally explained to Diarmuid around.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Diarmuid is so big, and he hasn't—" Finn felt the threat from Angus' eyes, "Okay, then we won't embarrass you, you can start again Just make a rhyme praising the deeds of the Knights.” After changing the title, Diarmuid finally let out a long sigh, it seems that Papa Angus really hasn’t discovered anything, otherwise he will He wouldn't let him meet Jodelle easily.

The swearing-in ceremony for Diarmuid was presided over by an elderly druid (wizard) in the Fiona Knights.This old man has the blood of the Protoss, so he has always had a high prestige in the Knights. Finn was able to ask him to be the host of the ceremony of Diarmuid, which shows that he values ​​Diarmuid.

"I am very glad that you have passed the test of our knight order. Now you only need to swear allegiance to our leader Finn and make four unbreakable oaths to officially become a member of Fiona's regiment. Are you willing to accept it? ?” The hoarse voice of the old man resounded in the forest, and suddenly a group of birds were startled.

Dilumu probably knelt in front of him, and replied loudly: "I am willing!" "Then please repeat every sentence I said below." The old man looked solemn, and said every word in the most serious tone The words tell the oath that every warrior in the knight order has sworn.

"I, Diarmuid Odina, under the witness of the Goddess of War, swear that I will always be loyal to Finn McCool, the leader of the Fiona Knights, and I will never betray you in this life!" Diarmuid solemnly said every word Swear, "I swear that I will never plunder livestock; I will not refuse a request for money; I will never back down even if the number of opponents is ten times larger; I will not avenge my family members. For the most important!"

After Diarmuid took the oath, several members of the Fiona Knights came over to greet the new member. "Now you are the youngest member of our Fiona Knights!" As the "pistachio" in the Knights, Conan, who has always been humorous, teased Diarmuid as soon as he came up. "That's not necessarily the case. Didn't Oscar say that he will take the test next year? If he passes, he will be younger than me." Diarmuid responded with a smile.

Although Diarmuid had just joined the Fiona Knights, he had long been familiar with the members of the Knights.Oscar is the grandson of the leader Finn. He is three years younger than Diarmuid. Since he was a child, he likes to follow Diarmuid to challenge him.Facing such a small radish head, Diarmuid is also invincible, so he will teach him some fighting skills when he has nothing to do. He can be regarded as half of Oscar's teacher, and Oscar treats Diarmuid most often. What I said also changed from "I want to challenge you!" to "One day I will surpass you!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the life of a knight belonging to Diarmuid also kicked off, and the glory of Celtic will bloom here!
