When he thought that the young mage in front of him had an extraordinary background and a bright future, the one-eyed old man Bernardine suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The original carelessness was immediately put away. Bernardine chatted with Lin Feng attentively, carefully grasping the key points.

Lin Feng was shocked. Bernardine asked too many questions, and he seemed to be asking about his detailed origins intentionally or unintentionally.

After feeling alert in his heart, Lin Feng became extra cautious when answering questions.

Bernardine was also an old fox. As soon as Lin Feng became alert, he felt something was wrong.

Bernardine gave a wry smile and said, "Master Lin Feng, you don't have to worry, I have no ill intentions towards you." In the chat just now, he mentioned Lin Feng's name.

Lin Feng nodded and motioned for Bernardine to continue speaking.

Bernardine lowered his voice and said softly: "Master Lin Feng, you should be able to tell that I am an old mercenary. I have been a mercenary all my life, but my biggest wish is to get rid of the mercenary. However,

It's a pity that besides being a mercenary, I don't know what else I can do to support myself and my family."

"Mercenaries may seem glamorous, but only those who have been mercenaries know the suffering involved. I have been a mercenary all my life, and I know the suffering involved, so I don't want my descendants to follow in my footsteps."

After a pause, Bernardine said the key point: "My son unfortunately died during a mission. I only have one grandson to depend on me. My grandson is my whole hope. I don't want my grandson to be the same."

A mercenary, I hope my grandson can revive our family."

Bernardine looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes: "Master Lin Feng, you must have just become an official magician not long ago, right? You must not have accepted followers yet. My grandson Jason Bernardine is willing to become you.

followers."

The Bright Continent is a place that respects the strong. They respect the strong and revere the strong. They are also willing to serve the strong and regard the glory of the strong as their own glory. This is the origin of the name Followers.

Followers are a very special form of existence. They are the master's right-hand man, the master's sharp sword and thick shield. They can die for the master, but at the same time, the master must also give them corresponding honor and treatment.

Being followed is a very honorable thing, but for magicians, followers are not uncommon. Considering the identity and status of magicians, they have no shortage of followers.

As long as magicians are willing, they can easily recruit a large number of followers.

But there is also a gap between followers and followers. If you recruit a few trash as followers, it will not help you at all. You will only embarrass yourself. Only those who have special abilities can be recruited as followers, which will be useful.

It's just that it's hard to recruit such capable followers.

"Sorry, I have no intention of recruiting followers at the moment." Lin Feng shook his head and refused.

Although Bernardine is an old mercenary, his strength is so poor that he doesn't even have the strength of a bronze warrior. How can he teach a good disciple with his strength? His grandson is probably not a master either.

This kind of person is not worth recruiting.

You must know that various countries have clear regulations on the number of followers. Official magicians can have three followers, and great magicians can have six followers. Each time you advance to a level, you will get three places.

This prescribed quota is protected by law, and the names of followers will be recorded. Once a follower betrays his master, he will be punished by law. At the same time, if the number of followers exceeds the limit, he will also be punished by law.

Of course, this is a legal requirement. How many followers you have secretly recruited cannot be known by others. However, you must not let others know about this matter, otherwise you will be subject to legal sanctions.

Most people still abide by the law, and Lin Feng has no intention of disobeying the law at the moment, so he is not too hasty in recruiting followers, and at least he must recruit some useful talents.

If Bernardine's grandson was really a talent, he could have become someone else's follower long ago. How could it be his turn? So Lin Feng didn't wait for Bernardine to finish his words before he refused. He should have refused earlier.

, and also avoid embarrassment between the two of them.

Bernardine observed the words and expressions, and when Lin Feng frowned slightly, he knew that Lin Feng did not mean what he said. He could also guess what Lin Feng was thinking in his heart.

Bernardine said: "Please don't refuse in a hurry. My grandson Jason is only sixteen years old this year, but he is already at the peak of his warrior apprenticeship. As long as he has an opportunity, he can become a bronze warrior. His fighting spirit talent is absolutely

No worse than those so-called geniuses, this is the first reason why you accepted Jason."

"Second point, Jason has been trained by me since he was a child. He is very proficient in the use of various weapons, and is good at tracking and setting traps. In addition, Jason is also familiar with all things about mercenaries. He is a very good person.

A seasoned mercenary, Jason will definitely be a very useful helper for you when you travel across the continent."

"And thirdly... Jason has a natural awareness of danger. He has saved his own life many times by relying on his own awareness. I think his ability will also be helpful to you."

If what Bernardine said is true, then his grandson Jason is indeed a talent, but he is just an ordinary talent. Young people like Jason are very common in the Bright Continent and are not uncommon.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the memory of the magister in Lin Feng's mind. If it were in Dolan City, Jason's potential is still good. With Jason's ability, it would be better to be a follower of a small noble.

More than enough, Lin Feng didn't know why Bernardine wanted Jason to be his follower.

You know, followers only have one chance. Once Jason becomes a follower of Lin Feng, then Jason can only be a follower of Lin Feng for the rest of his life. He can no longer swear allegiance to others. The life of a follower is doomed.

There is only one master.

Lin Feng frowned and asked calmly: "With Jason's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to be loyal to a small noble, right? Why do you want to be my follower?"

Bernardi smiled disdainfully and said: "Instead of following those incompetent nobles, it is better to continue to be a mercenary. At least as a mercenary, you can be independent and free without having to receive those stupid orders." It can be seen that Bernardi

Well, I don't have a good impression of nobles.

Bernardine looked at Lin Feng and said sincerely: "As for the reason for choosing you, you are too young. At your age, you should still have a great chance to reach a higher level of magician and let Jason

By following you, he will have greater opportunities for development."

Bernardine obviously also knows the truth, youth is a person's greatest asset.

Because you are young, you have time to continue to struggle, and because you are young, you have time to continue to improve.

Youth is Lin Feng's greatest asset.

Bernardine glanced at Lin Feng and said again: "I also believe in my eyes. I will not be wrong. You are not an ordinary person. I have seen many magicians in my life, and I have also seen many famous magicians."

Strong man, in you, I discovered a temperament that is the same as that of those strong men. You have the mentality and potential to become a strong man. I will not be wrong. You will eventually become a strong man famous in the mainland, an outstanding figure.

If Sen follows you, you will definitely become famous in the mainland."

"Oh, is that so?" Lin Feng smiled noncommittally, but he had a new thought in his heart. Regarding Jason's ability, Lin Feng was dispensable. However, during the chat just now, Lin Feng

Feeling Bernardine's profound knowledge and understanding of the situation on the mainland, for Lin Feng, old mercenaries like Bernardine are the real treasures.

Lin Feng smiled and suddenly asked: "Bernardian, how about working for me in my territory?"

"What?" Bernardine was surprised, obviously not expecting Lin Feng to ask this question.

Now it was Bernardine's turn to be confused. What did Lin Feng want an old man like him to do in his territory?

Lin Feng said: "You don't need to do anything, as long as you provide me with advice when necessary. Of course, if you are interested in something, I am also happy for you to do something you like."

In Lin Feng's opinion, Bernardine's greatest ability is his sophisticated eyesight and rich experience. This is also the biggest reason why Lin Feng wants Bernardine to go to his territory.

Lin Feng's territory is full of inexperienced farmers and is in great need of experienced mercenaries like Bernardine.

"But what about my grandson?" Bernardine whispered, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Lin Feng couldn't tell Bernardine's little thoughts. Lin Feng smiled and said, "You can take Jason to my residence to meet me later."

"No problem, I will take Jason to you as soon as possible." Bernardine immediately understood what Lin Feng meant and nodded happily and agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and at this time, the waiter came back with a box and handed the box to Bernardine.

Bernardine opened the box with his own key, took out the gold scroll and handed it to Lin Feng.

"You don't have to give me that much. I want to use 900 gold coins to continue to purchase the souls of the dead. For 900 gold coins, I will purchase thirty first-class souls of the dead." Lin Feng pushed back the 900 gold scrolls.

"Okay, I'll record the mission." Bernardine said quickly.

The souls of the dead are of great use to Lin Feng. Now Lin Feng still has ten souls of the dead in his body. The ten souls of the dead will only be used for a while, so Lin Feng will continue to issue missions to acquire the souls of the dead.

But it's not that Lin Feng doesn't have the money to buy enough souls of the dead at once, but that the souls of the dead are dark items, and there is a slight taboo. Even if you buy the souls of the dead, it is better to keep a low profile. Buying too many at once will attract others' attention.

, so Lin Feng can purchase it multiple times separately.

After leaving the Mercenary Guild, Lin Feng went to the Magicians Guild and bought alchemy materials worth three thousand gold coins before returning home.

Not long after, Bernardine came to visit with a young man. This was beyond Lin Feng's expectation. He did not expect that this one-eyed old man was really impatient.

Jason is sixteen years old this year, but he is already 1.8 meters tall, has dark skin and is very strong.

After saying hello to Lin Feng, Jason closed his mouth and stopped talking. However, Lin Feng could tell that it was not Jason who was deliberately indifferent, but Jason's character was like this. He was not a good talker.

No wonder Bernardine is in a hurry to sell his grandson. With a character like Jason's, he really can't find anyone willing to take him in on his own.
