The main plot of the paladin

Knights have eight virtues: "humility, honesty, sympathy, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor and spirit"

modest

Politeness, respect, modesty and prudence are the ways to treat people in daily life. Knights have their pride because of their glory and status, but what distinguishes them from other nobles is that they also have a humble side. Modesty is not only for beautiful young ladies and prominent nobles, but also for ordinary people. Knights will never speak ill of each other. A knight respects all well-meaning people, and his manners are almost innate. We have seen the scenes depicted in film and television literature countless times: a young man dressed in a delicate soft armor with blond curly hair kneels on one knee in the skirt of his favorite woman to express his love; A tall and dignified man, half-bowed, opened the carriage door and smiled at an elderly civilian getting on the bus. This is the portrayal of the knight's humility. In the PC game "Gate of Bode", we were lucky enough to see a standard knight-Kaidong? Keldom Firecam, he always shows great respect, courtesy and care for the women in the team, but at the same time, we clearly know that he is not fascinated by the beauty of a female teammate. This is the "nature" formed by knights under the baptism of Christ and traditional education.

Ironically, in UO and all MUDs, although female players are respected and cared for by male players, there are always many male players who complain that they have not received the same help. We know that the knight's humility has no specific gender orientation, and he treats everyone equally (except those villains, of course). However, in the game, we can see that some people with knighthood or title seem to be only interested in showing love and courtesy to women. Some male players treat same-sex players with more weapons than courtesy. Many players are dissatisfied with this, and they even ask: XX, are you a knight or a pervert?

Respect others, and you can get their inner respect. We don't need to say more about this truth. Online games are a field that pays attention to unity and cooperation. Teammates should first trust and respect each other. Even to strangers, we should not lose our due courtesy-especially if you are a knight. Swearing at the slightest dissatisfaction is not only done by a knight, but also by a moral person.

If you are a knight, you should be humble and polite to all harmless people, just like Kaidong.

honour

Where does the honor come from? What does honor mean to a knight?

Every time I see the last scene in fantasy novel's Chronicle of the Dragon Gun Dragon on winter nights, I am full of respect for Stunrm Brightblade. Well, this aspect is gradually accumulated in the whole chronicle of dragon riding. When falling rocks in the morning light, this respect reached the extreme, so that I burst into tears many times. I think all friends who love stone and dragon gun will not ignore the last move of stone-in the face of fierce attacks by dragon knights and dragons, stone raised his sword with both hands and made a knight's gift. When the dragon knight's spear penetrated deeply into Si Tong's body, the great knight who struggled all his life to restore the former glory of the Knights of Soragna finally fell. In this power disparity contest, Si Tong was undoubtedly a loser, but he defended the honor of the knight with his life and made him a hero.

Fight for honor! Even at all costs! This is the creed that knights abide by. The knight's bright badge clearly reminds its wearer in the sun: this is your pride. The title of "knight" is an honor in itself, and it is not easy to get such a title. A reserve knight needs to go through many rigorous tests if he wants to become a full knight. It needs not only superb riding skills, but also excellent command ability, rich combat experience and a remarkable landmark achievement. In the adventure of Bode Gate, we had the opportunity to meet Ayantis, an attendant of Kaidong. Ajantis, like Kaidong, belongs to the "most heartfelt knight" and is a disciple of Helm. Kaidong assigned him the task of helping to eliminate more and more chaos and evil in Jianwan. If Ayantis succeeds, he will receive the official title of knight. We can feel how much it costs to complete such a task in the game.

Honor comes from the recognition of the church nobility and the people. The church and nobles awarded the honorary title of knight to qualified people, but whether their words and deeds can not disgrace the glory of knight in the future depends on whether they stick to their beliefs and fight for God and the people as always. The title of knight is not the end of those who have firm beliefs, but their starting point. In Bodmen, we can see Charise Carnes who betrayed the knight. God no longer cares about and favors them. They walked in the street and were hated. Because their actions violate the rules of order and deviate from the path of justice.

In UO, we can get the title from the guild, but even if you gain glory by killing dragons, if you don't insist on justice but have an evil heart, then players will spit on you. A title doesn't mean how great you are. Even if you don't have any title, you are a tall and respected hero in people's minds.

People care about you, and God cares about you, knight. You can't slack off at all. Cherish and defend your honor! Si Tong is your role model.

sacrifice

Knight, do you have the courage to sacrifice when you need to pay the price to fulfill the interests of the majority? Perhaps it is the sacrifice of material interests, perhaps it is the sacrifice of life. You must have such courage and courage to become a knight.

Sometimes, some sacrifices can make a knight look heartless. Kaidong fought for the most red-hearted knights for decades, but obviously neglected his family. His wife has a long-term dissatisfaction with him, and the accumulation of this emotion eventually broke out into her affair. Yes, it's a sacrifice. Sometimes the heavy responsibility shouldered by knights makes them different from ordinary people. They sacrifice the warmth of their families, and at the same time force their favorite relatives to accompany them to make sacrifices. In my opinion, this kind of double payment is a bit too expensive. Judging from Kaidong's character, those knights and knights who are loyal to the church are poor. The god they believe in is undoubtedly enjoying their sacrifice. If it is for the benefit of most people, then on the whole, the sacrifice is certainly worth it. However, complicated political interests sometimes cause personal and historical resentment. In the famous film The Man in the Iron Mask, there is such a plot: Prince Philip is detained in the Bastille by his younger brother King Louis. After knights loyal to Prince Philip ventured to rescue him, he was ambushed by King Louis' musket team. At this time, the jaw-dropping thing happened: Louis ordered the fire, but the musketeers didn't pull the trigger. Instead, they threw away their guns and solemnly saluted the remaining four bloody knights of Prince Philip. At this moment, the supreme king also lost his dignity. Knight, just understand the knight. In the famous war chess game Dream Simulated War, there is an enemy character that impresses every player-Leon, the leader of the Dragon Order. Although he finally realized that his Lord did not represent justice, he fought for him without hesitation and died by the sword of the protagonist, which not only won the respect of the protagonist Alvin, but also fascinated every player. In UO, it is the knight's duty to fight evil and sacrifice his own interests to help others. This is your glory, the glory of the knight.

Let's pay tribute to those brave men. Express the necessary etiquette and respect for the spirit of self-sacrifice.

brave

There is no doubt that cowards do not deserve the honorary title of knight. A man without courage can't pass the test of a knight at all. One of the necessary qualities of a knight is to bravely and fearlessly declare war on evil, stand up and protect the weak at critical moments, and never retreat.

Slaughtering dragons, often mentioned in fantasy literature and games, is the most extravagant test for a knight. Against the dragon, this is a gorgeous dance of life and death, and you are likely to die in the dragon cave. But if you defeat the powerful dragon, you can get the glorious title of "Dragon Slayer Hero". At the gate of Bode, more than once, my expedition may have to face a fierce dragon. We can completely avoid this great difficulty, but we all know that this is a game for brave people and the best time to prove ourselves.

Courage, of course, is also reflected in the battlefield. It is the natural mission of every cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the enemy with a spear and win the final victory. In the traditional round chess game, knights are often the bravest fighting force. In the classic Dragon Knight 2, the knight trio headed by Alice is often the absolute main force in the charge.

Warriors in the game, in the face of shameless villains bullying the weak, meet with rough roads and draw out their swords to help each other; As knights, we can't stand by while those old birds bully novices. In the game, we often hear people bravely rush into the Dragon Cave or stand up for their friends. Warriors are like this: people recognize you, and you may not get a title from the game, but praise from players from all over the world-even if you are not a knight.

sympathize with

Compassion for the weak, the knight should have a broad and inclusive heart. Knights shoulder the mission of eliminating evil and promoting good. Although knights are loyal to lords or royalty, justice should be their code of conduct.

The knights were filled with respect for their opponents who dared to sacrifice, which led them to dare to disobey the king's orders. China also has a saying that heroes cherish heroes. Between two people who are forced to be rivals, friendship may be greater than hatred. Let's talk about Lyon in the dream simulation war. In the first game of the game, he intended to intercept the protagonist for the first time, but the scene of his men bullying the villagers made him furious and denounced those who had no sympathy, which made me respect him. Although Leon is a typical example of foolish loyalty, he never bullies the weak and shows compassion for soldiers, which is a good example of compassion. His chivalry also won the respect of his opponents.

In the series Bodmen, we often find beggars in urban slums and busy streets. If we talk to them, they will ask for your charity. I remember a scene in which a little girl sobbed in a humble corner. If you are willing to talk to her in the past, you will learn that she was separated from her parents in the war and she became a homeless orphan. At this time, you can choose to give her money to help her go back to her hometown. Also in the slave cellar, you can pay money to help abducted children find their way home.

In fact, inserting such a plot into the game has no influence on the main task of the game, and the player will not get any benefit from it, but will lose money. But one thing is obvious, the designer obviously wants to remind the players to pity the weak and help them. It is precisely because of this emotion that the cold program has the vitality of life. If you have no sympathy in the virtual world, you will be a cold person in real life.

spirit

Usually when it comes to the eight virtues, the word "spirituality" is called "spirit", which is not easy to understand. Because the other seven virtues of the eight virtues are all a kind of spirit. In English, the word "spirituality" can also be translated as "spirituality" Personally, spirituality may be more in line with the original intention.

We know that knights are inextricably linked with religion, and in the selection of knights, the belief in God and the understanding of God's will are also indispensable links. If we put aside the game, historically, there were priests riding horses at some time in the Middle Ages. They are the people who directly accept the sacred laws and explain them to the knights. These priests are also indispensable members of the knights. From this perspective, the virtue of "spirit" may include the ability to understand God's purpose. Knights must admire God and be keen to contribute to God. In the Middle Ages ruled by God, loving Christ and teaching were essential qualities.

The word "spirit" may be more western cultural. For online game players, it is to be loyal to the church organization you join, believe in the god of your group, and don't betray it. This belief in the same direction is also a key link that closely connects the whole organization.

honest

Honesty is a commendable virtue everywhere. As a knight, honesty is also a necessary quality. Because the knight is the lowest person in the European aristocratic class, a knight must have a good reputation if he wants to have good interpersonal relationships, which inevitably requires him to be honest and not fraudulent. Most of the knight's regulations also indicate in a conspicuous position that a knight must be loyal to his soul.

At the Gate of Bode, we often hear the Templars say, "In the name of Tempus! ..... ",this is the knight's oath to express his loyalty to God. If you have Kaidong in your team, you will be responsible for every lie and fraud that you turn your back on God. If you are dishonest about your beliefs, you may think Kaidong looks a little scary-he will scold you or leave the team, you will never recruit him again, and even he may use force against you!

Lancelot, a famous knight of the Round Table, is also a representative of keeping his promise. When he was treated as a distinguished guest by King Arthur, other knights of the Round Table expressed their dissatisfaction. So Lancelot set a time limit of one year and one day with them to prove his courage and kindness. Then he set out to get rid of the evil Sir Garon and the fierce dragon, defeated 50 thieves, killed two giants, and finally returned to the castle in one year and one day. His honesty made him king Arthur's greatest knight of the round table. In many games and movies, we can see Lancelot's active figure, such as Order of the Dragon 2, Legend of the Magician and Order of the Royal Family 2. And Richard's movies, of course? Kiel played Lancelot in the movie "The Knight".

Honesty is very important for all games. The transaction between players involves the best equipment or the monthly card of the game. What everyone is most worried about is the villain who cheats in the name of trading. Lack of integrity in the game is a common phenomenon, swindlers are rampant, and many players are cheated in the transaction process. If you want to be an excellent businessman, then honesty is the most important thing. If you get married in the game, will you cheat on your lover? Will you cheat him or her? Your dishonesty is likely to disintegrate a happy family, and everyone's dishonesty will make the structure of society tend to collapse. So for online games, honesty should be one of the most important qualities.

Knight, if you want to win the trust of others, you must be honest. Don't cheat your God, your lover and friends, and don't cheat strangers. You have to face your soul frankly and be judged by God.

fair

Act impartially, strictly abide by the law, and act according to the rules. This may make the knight look a little too serious, but it is the case. The real society is inseparable from justice, and so is mud. Who wants to live in an environment where black and white are upside down?

However, a game is a game. Historically, due to the class nature of knights, they could not completely enforce the law. Even Leon, who seems to have a sense of justice mentioned above, actually violates the principle of justice. He is kind by nature, like a lost lamb, and does not take the right path. After all, medieval Europe was a theocratic era. The king's will is God's will and cannot be violated. Knights are only attached to the king.

Of course, there have been some "rebels" throughout the ages. It is said that there was a Germanic knight in the Middle Ages who was dissatisfied with the unfair judgment of national laws-an innocent man was sentenced to death. He ignored the world public opinion and took the condemned man away on the execution day. It is easy for us to imagine the ultimate price paid by this brave knight for obeying justice. Today, in a museum in Germany, the statue of this knight is still preserved for future generations to watch. Well, we have seen that history always responds to injustice and corrects it. Today, the knight got the praise he deserved. For a just man, history will give him a fair evaluation sooner or later.

End this paragraph with King Arthur's oath when he formed the Knights of the Round Table! "My noble warriors, let's swear together here. We only fight for justice and fairness, never for wealth or selfish reasons. We should help all those who need help, and we should also support each other. Be gentle with the weak, but be hell to pay with the wicked. "
