258: Knight Arthur

Over here, Da Quan Knight restarted, once again choosing Kumu Daoren as his master.

On the other side, another major streamer from the Western Country entered the Xuanhuan World.

His nickname was "Arthur," a common Western Country name that also came from a knight story.

Arthur was an ardent fan of knights; whether it was traditional knight stories or modern knight games, he was a die-hard supporter.

He even spent a lot of money on horse racing in reality.

Most astonishingly, he even bought a horse farm, actually raising many horses, and would occasionally role-play as a knight charging forward.

This unique pleasure is rarely experienced by people in this day and age.

Besides riding horses in reality, Arthur was even more enthusiastic about riding horses in virtual reality games.

Because he found that different games used different engines, the physical feedback they set up was also different, ultimately making the feeling of riding a horse completely distinct.

Almost every game offered a unique experience, which he found extremely enjoyable.

After the Xuanhuan World was introduced to the Western Country, he was delayed by a horse racing competition and didn't log in immediately.

But after the competition ended, he immediately chose to Transmigrate into the Human Race, under the gaze of millions of fans in his live stream.

This immediately drew a lot of confusion from people:

"Streamer, why did you choose the Human Race?"

"Exactly, we Western Country people have agreed to all Transmigrate into the Yao Race to form a united front and achieve great things together!"

"Although everyone isn't doing too well right now, I believe that as time goes on, more and more of our Western Country Yao Race players will rise up!"

"At that time, the Human Celestial Dynasty will be our Western Country people's enemy, so why would you, streamer, choose to Transmigrate into the Human Race?"

"Streamer, are you betraying our Western Country?"

The comments in the live stream became increasingly outrageous.

They even brought up betraying the country and betraying the race.

Arthur didn't dare to accept such a heavy accusation and quickly explained:

"There's a reason why I chose to Transmigrate into the Human Race.

"That reason is... I want to try horse riding in the Xuanhuan World."

Arthur simply created a Human Race model and immediately entered the game.

The area he chose was near a large Mortal city, and upon landing, he could see the magnificent city, its towering walls filling him with a sense of awe.

The audience in the live stream gradually became more patient.

"Right, Arthur is a knight after all, he needs to ride a horse."

"Indeed, there are no horses to ride if you Transmigrate into the Yao Race; to ride a horse, you have to Transmigrate into the Human Race."

"By the way, why haven't I seen any players riding horses?"

"Nonsense, in the Xuanhuan World, you can fly with a sword, or even fly directly through the air; if it were you, would you ride a horse?"

"That's true."

In other ancient-style games, horse riding is an important part of the game.

As long as you need to travel, you need to ride a horse.

But in the Xuanhuan World, it's different.

As long as one begins Cultivation, even if it's just the weakest Qi Refining, their running speed can match that of a galloping steed.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment above that, one can even fly through the air.

Thus, considering efficiency, riding a horse is not as good as walking or flying, so naturally, people wouldn't ride horses.

And considering coolness, riding a horse also can't compare to flying through the air, so again, people wouldn't ride horses.

As a result, Arthur, this die-hard knight fan, only discovered after arriving in the Xuanhuan World that horse riding reviews were a very novel niche.

Across the entire network, including the Chinese side, surprisingly no one was doing this niche.

"I'm in the marketplace now, ready to buy a horse... Oh, I don't have any silver at the start, so I can't buy one.

"But don't panic, I can accelerate my Lifespan and directly pass ten years.

"No, no, accelerating doesn't get you a salary. I'm accelerating to Cultivate a copied Cultivation Technique I obtained... Look, I'm currently in the Spirit Nurturing realm, a bit below Qi Refining, between a Martial Artist and a Cultivator.

"What? You ask what good this is?

"Hahaha! This boss can't hit me anymore!"

Amidst the stunned expressions of countless new viewers in the live stream,

Arthur directly punched down the old man selling horses, flipped onto the horse, grabbed the reins, and galloped away dashingly.

The live stream was filled with question marks:

"???"

"No, is this how the streamer plays games?"

"Didn't the live stream title say [The Last Knight of the Western Country]? Where's the streamer's knightly spirit?"

"Damn it, how can you call yourself a knight?"

Many new viewers were dumbfounded, completely unable to understand Arthur's behavior.

But the old viewers were already used to it:

"This is knightly spirit!"

"Are you perhaps referring to the eight virtues? Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, compassion, honesty, justice, and spirituality?"

"Bullshit, those are all just for show."

"Scholars in China have already verified that in our Western Country's ancient times, it was all noble lords who became knights."

"Every single one of them was utterly despicable, all oppressors; they became knights to better ambush others."

"A profession of killing, a profession of nobles, what good virtues could it have?"

"So-called knightly spirit, isn't it just freedom, killing whoever you want, robbing whatever you want?"

"Exactly, exactly, experts from China have even published papers saying that 'knightly spirit' was a forced interpretation by later generations; it should have originally been called 'bandit spirit.'"

One comment after another scrolled by.

Leaving many new players wide-eyed, as if their worldview had been shaken.

Arthur, however, paid no mind, still holding the reins, galloping through the streets, and soon left the town.

Surprisingly, no one came out to stop him.

He glanced at the comments and said:

"What eight virtues? That's all nonsense.

"Nobles became knights precisely to better slaughter commoners and protect their private property; what virtues could they possibly have?

"And I also saw before entering the game that the current ecology of the Xuanhuan World is the same.

"Those evil Cultivators are even more excessive than me, a knight... Damn it, is that dark figure in front an evil Cultivator?"

Arthur suddenly saw a black mist appear ahead, and he was startled.

Before he could react, the black mist swirled over and landed directly in front of him.

A burly figure appeared, with a chiseled jawline and piercing eyes, but his face was shrouded in a layer of black mist, making him look both righteous and evil, very eerie.

"You, why did you steal a horse?"

The evil Cultivator, however, did not attack but gestured for Arthur to stop.

Arthur was a bit confused, feeling that the situation seemed a little different.

Then, he saw the evil Cultivator wave his hand, taking out shackles from his storage ring and immediately putting them on Arthur.

"I, a Celestial Dynasty Inspector, now sentence you for assault and horse theft within the city. You are sentenced to three days of detention. Alright, return to the city to serve your sentence."

In a daze, Arthur was carried by a black wind and directly returned to the city, landing in a prison cell.

"Wait, this isn't right, is it?"

Arthur looked at the camera, somewhat bewildered: "Didn't they say that the Human Race here was full of evil Cultivators and utterly chaotic?"
