Chapter 9 Three Attendants

In order to upgrade in the early years, Lann ran around to take on tasks. In the eyes of today's people, he is just "accepting commissions". In order to gain more experience, he naturally has to pursue a higher degree of task completion, compared to the way that ordinary bounty hunters take advantage of the common people.

, Lann is widely loved among the people, and has also won the title of "Lannister, a promise worth a thousand dollars".

However, there are unscrupulous people and even mobs in any era. In the original book, a villager entrusted a witcher to hunt monsters, and then in order to avoid the commission fee, he deceived the witcher into a barn and attempted to attack him.

In the original novel, the protagonist Geralt also encountered repudiation on more than one occasion, and there was even a situation where villagers were eager to sell his horses and divide the luggage while the witcher was out hunting monsters.

Many demon hunters take it as their duty to kill monsters and protect civilians when they debut. Demon hunters of the Griffin School even pursue chivalry. However, after a long time, everyone turns into "emotionless mutants". There is not enough reason for this.

For outsiders.

As Lann was a noble of Cintra, there was no mob in Cintra that would have the courage to attack and kill him, but there were always cunning people who wanted to pretend to be pitiful or act rogue.

Regarding this kind of situation, if the family is really ruined and cannot come up with money, Lann is not so hard-hearted. He is just for experience rather than money. In this situation, he will even help the other party within a reasonable range.

Getting a heartfelt thank you or two is considered receiving emotional service, right?

And for those real scoundrels, Lann always has a way to recover his own "remuneration". But occasionally this process is accompanied by other "collateral damage".

"Lannister, all debts must be paid" spread like this. Lann liked to hear it.

At three o'clock in the moonlight, Lan En returned to his mansion. The courtyard and building were brightly lit.

Ten candidates for attendants stood staggeringly in the courtyard, most of them already soaked through their clothes. It seemed that they caught a glimpse of the Earl returning from the corner of his eye, and the few lazing guys who were bent over once again straightened their bodies and assumed an upright posture.

.

Lord Lannister glared sharply: "Go back to where you came from!"

Lan glanced at them, turned to Hardy who came out and asked, "Have they been standing here all day? I mean the ones that are motionless."

A tall and broad-shouldered young man named Ace introduced himself as the third son of a knight, who was good at using crossbows and bows. Good crossbowmen were rare, and Lan planned to try him out sometime.

Hardy ignored him and replied flatly: "No, there's not a single motionless person."

Lan Encha also has an impression of this man. His name was Swade. His father was once a non-commissioned officer under Lan En's father and died on the battlefield early. Lan En's father found this young man a job as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop.

Lann's "attendants" will be his direct descendants in the future, and they are the forces destined to become successful. Therefore, they must obey his orders absolutely.

The originally pale-faced teenagers could no longer hold themselves up under the roar and fell to the ground. They did not have the courage to say a few more words and "rolled" out of the mansion while crawling on the ground.

The three remaining young men excitedly introduced themselves to Lann.

Only the remaining three teenagers suddenly stood up straighter as if they were infused with strength.

For example, primary school students in previous lives would memorize "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." However, the low-level military officers in this era only know "Call all the people and rush for me!".

Lann nodded, as expected. No one can stand at attention and fight for a whole day without being moved without systematic training. He just wanted to try his luck in case he encountered something in this fantasy world.

Strange people and strange things have happened.

Children of nobles who do not have family inheritance rights will choose to become attendants of the children of big nobles in order to become true nobles. Even many legitimate sons with inheritance rights will choose to become attendants of kings or dukes for training and to expand their connections. Of course, the latter does a lot.

I will return to my family next year to inherit the family business.

A lot of military knowledge that Lann thought was common sense was considered to be at the level of "Military God" in this era.

Although almost all "squires" are just pebbles under the feet of real nobles in their entire lives. But becoming a retainer is, in a sense, half a foot in the upper class.

There was also the only young man with a sword, which also made him bear more pressure than others today, but his face and body trembling were no worse than those around him, and he was obviously practicing martial arts diligently.

It is even more impossible to "share the same robe with your son" and "share the same fate with your soldiers" to increase cohesion and gain military morale. Because I am a nobleman, why are you kidding me to eat with you?

Lann only hopes to gather some warriors through his own methods, so that they can become his strength when the country is destroyed. So far, it seems that the results are good, and it all depends on the support of his peers.

The crisis of annihilation of the country is approaching step by step, and Lann is extremely thirsty for every bit of power. This is why he is eager to share military power, and spends a lot of money to treat the city guards to drinks at night.

Although becoming a "squire" does not mean entering the aristocratic level, it definitely breaks away from the civilian class. Even many "knights" are promoted from servants or guards who have made military exploits.

Either rush the opponent to death, or be rushed. Simple and brainless.

Lan looked at the remaining three attendants and said, "Now you can tell me your names."

Lann didn't have the time to personally eliminate those unstable factors that were playing tricks. In order to avoid being stabbed at the critical moment, he simply didn't admit them in the first place.

There is a thin young man named House. His father is the king's stablekeeper. Every knight must have such a squire.

After the attendant candidates heard this question, their already bloodless faces became even paler. Several of them who might have communicated with Hardy on a daily basis were still pleading or pleading with Hardy from a perspective that Lan could not see.

Wink.

Therefore, most of the teenagers who are qualified to become attendants are born well and have a flexible mind. Sometimes they are a little clever and like to be lazy. For example, the teenagers who were just eliminated by Lan.

You must know that in this era, most officers or nobles are very demanding. It would be good if they do not squeeze money from soldiers. In many places, recruiters even have to bring their own equipment. Why? Because the materials provided by the country have become

It became the officer's private property.

Turning around, Lan pointed at the three people who had the most dirt on their bodies and whose clothes were so soaked that the ground beneath them was almost wet and said:

"These three stay, the rest -"

Now that he heard that Lan En was recruiting servants, he gave up his job at the blacksmith shop and came here.

"I will be a sword in your hand just as my father followed your father!"

The young attendant Sward shouted hoarsely and excitedly with a voice that had not eaten rice for a day. His enthusiastic look even scared Hardy.

Lann smiled and nodded, initially accepting the three people, and then asked Hardy to take the three of them to the room prepared for the attendants to rest.
