Tyran easily defeated a strong orc warrior with only two swords, leaving a deep impression on Med'an.

His superb sword skills prove that Tyran is brave and good at fighting, and his generous style proves his noble character. Standing up for the reputation of the Knights of the Silver Hand shows that he values ​​honor. Defeating the orcs without taking their lives reflects that he punishes evil but does not kill indiscriminately.

Among the eight virtues of a knight, he at least possesses "honor, bravery, mercy, and justice". What an outstanding knight he is!

Med'an watched Tailan go away with full respect, only to find that he had walked not far away and took the initiative to say hello to a small group of Alterac city defense troops who were patrolling.

"Oh no, Tailan defeated an orc. Could it be that he surrendered voluntarily? He will definitely be captured by the city defense army." Med'an was secretly worried, but unexpectedly, the city defense army followed Tailan's gesture and rushed towards him.

Coming to the "Snow on the Mountain" hotel, they turned a blind eye to Varrick in a pool of blood and rushed straight into the hotel.

"Excuse me, who are you?" The leader of the team did not dare to offend when he saw Med'an's green skin, for fear that he was an orc child, so he asked cautiously.

"I am an apprentice working in a hotel..." Before Madan could finish his words, the captain's face suddenly dropped.

"Sure enough, he is the orc that the witness said." He muttered and directed his men to search.

"Looking at this costume, he should be an envoy of the Laughing Skull Clan." A guard reported after checking the orc.

The team leader frowned and ordered: "This boss is so bold, he dares to hurt the master of the Mocking Skull clan and take him away!"

"Ah? What's going on?" The boss and the boss's wife were both shocked.

"I just received a report from the citizens that you beat the orc children, which caused the orc envoys to be dissatisfied, and it turned into a private fight." The team leader pointed at the blood stain on Med'an's forehead that had not dried up, and angrily scolded the boss: "Look at the blood on his forehead.

The scars!”

"That was... caused by that orc warrior." The boss defended.

"Bold! How dare you frame an innocent victim! There are both witnesses and material evidence, but you still want to make excuses?"

"Where is the physical evidence?" The boss was shocked.

"Isn't this the murder weapon in your shop?" The team leader pointed to the stool leg that Tailan threw on the ground and said, "The witness personally testified! Huh? Where is the witness?"

"Witness" Tai Lan naturally took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

But at this time, the guard in charge of the appraisal reported again: "Envoy Laughing Skull suffered a blunt injury on his forehead, and it seems that it was caused by this wooden stick."

"I was wronged -" The boss had no time to defend himself and was dragged away by two guards.

Med'an was stunned when he saw it, and the tall image of Tailan that he had just established in his mind suddenly collapsed.

It turns out that the reason why the sword was not unsheathed was to frame him? The reason for removing the stool legs was not to threaten the boss but to divert trouble. Before the fight, he had planned how to escape after the fight? This is really... so shameless! I actually thought he was

He is an outstanding knight, but he is simply an outstanding rogue!

In the final analysis, Mai De'an is still too young. Too young, too simple!

___________________

The next evening, after the Laughing Skull Orc finally took the time to prove his boss's innocence, the boss was acquitted. But he turned his anger on Med'an and fired his apprentice.

Med'an walked helplessly on the street, with only a few coins he had saved so hard in his arms. Child laborers could not make much money, and half-orcs were especially discriminated against. It was difficult to find a job. For those who are thin and small, For him, who had little energy when he got up, his employment prospects were bleak.

"Orcs don't like fabrics and armor by nature. Now the textile shops are laying off workers due to poor business and won't recruit workers at all. The forging industry is developing well, but the blacksmith shop only likes strong men and won't recruit children like me at all." Med'an said to himself in frustration: "Merry, what should I do?"

"Who is Meri? Your brother?" A casual and tired voice sounded in his ears.

"It's my adoptive father - why is it you!" Med'an recognized the person who was Tai Lan and became furious. "It's all your fault. I even lost my job! Now I'm living on the street and will starve to death! Guard ——Come and catch this man!"

"Don't shout!" Tailan covered Mad'an's mouth and whispered: "Think about it, this boss hired you, didn't he just because you wanted less wages? Has he ever been sincerely nice to you? You lose it I lost my job, is it because of him or because of me?"

Med'an was speechless after hearing this. Tailan was right. In the final analysis, the boss discriminated against him as a half-orc from the bottom of his heart, so he got angry at him for no reason. In fact, he lost his job and it had nothing to do with Tailan's beating of the orcs. , for other reasons, the boss would still find an excuse to fire him. Speaking of which, Tailan vented his anger and punished the orcs and the boss.

"Since you are unemployed now and have something to do with me, then I will take on the responsibility." Seeing Med'an's silence, Tailan said, "I am Tailan, the captain of the Holy Light Mercenary Team. You might as well learn to be a mercenary from me."

"Mercenary?" After all, Mai De'an was young and had little experience, and was somewhat unfamiliar with this industry, so he asked: "What is the daily work of a mercenary?"

"Hunting wild animals, maintaining law and order, collecting supplies, running errands and escorting, etc. To put it simply, as long as the employer gives us enough money, we can do anything!"

Med'an was too young, and he was a little moved by just a few words. However, before he could reply, his stomach protested first and made a long growl.

"Since you don't object, then we are teammates!" Tailan hit the snake and immediately got close to her: "Let me take you to eat something first, there happens to be a pie stall nearby."

Med'an was reluctant to accept Tailan's charity, but he was really hungry and didn't have many coins in his pocket, so he acquiesced.

Tailan stepped forward and asked carelessly: "Boss, what is the filling of this cake? How to sell it?"

The pancake uncle smiled and replied: "Pork liver pie, authentic western wilderness flavor, 10 coppers each."

Tailan curled his lips: "It's too expensive. Can I sell it for 5 coppers?"

"How about 5 coppers? At least 8 coppers."

"6 coppers!"

"Dealed! This is the last one anyway, and I'm anxious to sell it so I can go home." The pancake uncle said happily.

"Wait!" Tailan suddenly said seriously: "What did you just say?"

"It's the last one. I'm anxious to sell it so I can go home." The uncle replied with some confusion.

"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

"At least 8 copper?"

"Yes, that's it." Tailan nodded and said seriously: "4 coppers, you are in a hurry to go home anyway."

Uncle Pancake was full of pride: "...I have traveled all over the country for many years and have seen countless bargainers, but I have never seen one as fierce as you."

Madan: "..."

Uncle, you are too young!

Eating this painful pie, Madan became more and more suspicious that the blond man in front of him was unreliable. He pondered for a long time, suddenly stared at Tailan, and asked with piercing eyes: "Mr. Tailan, I have the last few

Question. Why did you help me out?"

Tailan shook his neck nonchalantly: "Because I have a warm heart, I will draw my sword to help when there is injustice."

"I don't believe it!" Although Mai De'an is young, he has lived a hard life of wandering for many years, and he will not be fooled by such a childish lie again.

"Cough, cough!" Tailan was a little embarrassed and hurriedly coughed to cover it up. After coughing several times, he reluctantly explained: "That orc insulted the Knights of the Silver Hand. Is it okay for me to say that I admire the Knights?"

"I see." Med'an nodded and asked seriously: "So Mr. Tailan, are you a knight?"

Upon hearing this question, Tailan's pupils shrank, and his unfocused gaze suddenly became profound, as if he had seen the distant past in an instant. He hesitated as if he was recalling something.

After being silent for a while, Tailan's solemn and stiff expression gradually became more alert. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am not a knight, but my father was once a competent knight. My behavior

Habits must have been somewhat influenced by him."

Med'an praised: "If even his words and deeds can affect you, then he is undoubtedly a great knight. I am honored to be a teammate and fight side by side with Mr. Tailan, who comes from a knight family!"

"Whether he is great or not, I don't know. I only know that his dedication made me lose my father when I was only 10 years old." Tailan sighed.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Tailan, in what year did your father pass away?" Med'an felt vaguely that something was wrong, so he asked.

"It is said that he died in the battle of Black Gate 6 years ago."

The Black Gate chronology comes from the portal to another world that was opened when the tribe invaded, which is called the Dark Gate. Therefore, the year of the tribe's invasion is regarded as the first year of the Black Gate. The 6th year of the Black Gate is the seventh year of the tribe's invasion. It is the time when the alliance and

It was a period of fierce tribal fighting. As a knight, it was not a surprising result that Tyran's father died in battle this year.

But Mad'an was surprised and asked: "It's the 16th year of Black Gate now? Are you only 20 years old?"

"I'm 20 years old?" Tailan frowned, "I just haven't shaved for two days."

"I thought you were an uncle." Med'an suddenly scratched his head and asked, "That's not right. You are only 20 years old and you are actually the mercenary captain? How many people are there in the Holy Light Mercenary Team?"

"There are a lot of people." Tailan stretched out five fingers, broke them off, and finally made a V-shaped gesture and said: "But some of them left the team, and some died. Now there are only two people - you and me.

"

This... an ominous premonition came to mind, and Mad'an began to wonder if he had been deceived, and further asked: "Where is the base camp of our mercenary team?"

"There is no base camp. We are a wandering mercenary team. We will go wherever the entrustment is." Tailan said with a natural expression: "If what you want to ask is where to stay today, that's it."

After speaking, he pointed to a small bridge in front of him and said: "It's quite good under the bridge hole. It can protect you from wind and rain."

"I@&￥..." Only then did Mai De'an become convinced that he was still too young. But he was really desperate at this time. If he couldn't find a job, he would starve to death, so he had to board Tailan's pirate ship first.

.

In any case, he also saw a trace of knightly virtue in Tailan. Whether it was true or false, Med'an wanted to use his own eyes to carefully identify the quality of this man. Maybe he would really find that sparkling

What about the chivalric virtues?

He didn't know if this was forced self-consolation, so he fell asleep under the bridge with this beautiful thought.

Med'an didn't know that when he fell asleep, Tailan was tossing and turning beside him, unable to fall asleep.
