Link didn't even know how he got out of the woods.
Although there has never been a large-scale war on the continent since the kings of various countries have obeyed the orders of the gods, but if someone says that countries can really be as close as they seem to be on the surface,
Just like brothers, they are indistinguishable from each other, so even a three-year-old child will know that this is nonsense.
At least Link had heard many stories about the overt and covert fights between the two great bordering empires, the Bavaria Empire and the Sakara Empire, from the old people in Coloburg who liked to tell the legends of knights.
Link still remembers that at that time, he had always been very interested in a profession that was very mysterious in legends.
That's "spy"!
According to legend, they left their hometown, changed their names, abandoned their family and friends, and then went to other countries to become a brand new character, thereby taking the opportunity to obtain all beneficial information for their country.
If you don't become a knight, if you become a spy who gives up everything for the honor of the empire, that would be a very tragic and interesting thing!
Link once thought so naively when he was a child.
But what if a foreign spy is discovered within the empire?
In such peaceful times, if a well-trained spy sneaks into the empire, that may be the greatest harm that a neighboring country can bring to the empire.
In the legend, the intelligence stolen by the spies covers almost all aspects of politics, economy, military, etc., which is equivalent to almost all the secrets of the empire being nakedly exposed to neighboring countries. This is very important for an empire.
It's definitely a terrible thing.
So when he deciphered the meaning of the remaining words on the stone, he almost understood what Teacher Calvin's abnormal actions meant!
However, he still can't believe what he saw!
How could Mentor Calvin be a spy of the Sakara Empire?!
No!
impossible!
Maybe I made a mistake?!
Maybe I didn't read that sentence correctly?!
Kermilla looked at Link carrying two rabbits, walking over from a distance a little distractedly, with an expressionless look on his face. She couldn't help but become worried, and quickly went up to meet him, asking: "What's wrong with you?
Are you okay? You're not sick, are you?"
In fact, since they came to the Sunset Mountains and accepted the so-called entry test from their mentor Calvin, they have not really been sick anymore, but Link has always had the same old face no matter what he encounters.
He had a strange expression. Kemilla had never seen him look like this before, so she was shocked.
"It's nothing." Link reluctantly smiled at him and threw the two rabbits in his hand to Kermilla: "I didn't catch the mountain beast today. I only had these two rabbits, so I had to make do with it!"
"It's fine." Kermilla looked at Link and smiled. Finally, she put down her snack and started laughing: "Actually, I prefer eating your roasted rabbit to the mountain beast!"
Link looked at Kermilla, an honest person who had never lied. She started telling lies to comfort him. His face finally showed a somewhat relaxed look, and he made a quieter gesture to Kermilla.
, lowered his voice and said: "Be careful not to let that old guy hear it!"
Kermilla also nodded quickly. Without the mountain beast, the two rabbits were really not enough to fill his teeth.
Link took Kermilla and found a fire behind a rock. He began to wrap the rabbit in mud, string it on branches, and began to bake it on the fire, pointing out the temperature of Kermilla.
Seeing Kermilla staring at the fire intently and salivating, Link didn't know why, but the heavy pressure in his heart caused by the words on the stone seemed to dissipate a lot.
Over two years, these three people have unconsciously developed the same relationship as a family.
Link didn't realize until now that the old pervert and old guy he called actually occupied such an important position in his heart.
He remembered the action of instructor Calvin helping him pull the quilt last night, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. He secretly shouted in his heart without knowing the tone: "This old pervert!"
"War! War!" A cry suddenly came from the gate of Sunset Garrison Station on the mountainside, spread all the way to the top of the mountain, and the entire military camp was boiling at that moment.
Link and Kermilla both stood up straight at almost the same time.
There's a war?!
Is there something wrong with my ears?!
How could there be another war on this continent?!
Even the oldest history books cannot tell how many years this continent has been at peace!
Among the various legends that Link has heard, they all say that many years ago, when the gods came to the earth, they brought eternal peace to the continent. From then on, the various empires on the continent
They all began to live in peace, and the long and endless era of peace began for the entire continent!
How could there still be a war going on now?!
Link and Kermilla looked at each other, but they could see their almost uncontrollable excitement in their own eyes!
They are all young people who have always longed to become a real knight from the beginning!
Knights are not ordinary soldiers born for battle. However, the knight's duty to serve justice and defend the glory of the empire is destined to be a true knight only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield!
However, now hoping to have such an experience, for those young people who aspire to become real knights, it can only be a dream that cannot be realized at all.
Although Link once said when he signed up for the Knight Apprenticeship that day, Link Knight would never become an accessory that only serves as an imperial ceremonial decoration, but would instead be a true warrior who guards justice and glory on the battlefield.
Knight, but in fact everyone else present felt that it was just the innocent fantasy of this child who had not grown up yet.
But is there really a war now?!
So looking at the boiling situation in the military camp not far away, of course Link and Kermilla couldn't stay still for a moment. They directly greeted each other and ran towards the military camp together. For a moment, Lin Ke
Ke has now forgotten even the stone that has been weighing on his heart.
"What's going on? Shut up, shut up!" Before Link and Kermilla ran to the other side of the military camp, they heard some knight commanders and officers shouting loudly at those who were still messing around.
The soldiers and knight apprentices shouted: "This is called suppressing bandits, do you understand? It's not a war, it's suppressing bandits, jointly suppressing bandits!"
When Link and Kermilla ran to the back of the queues, the young people who were shouting excitedly had already quieted down under the shouts of the knight commander.
A knight commander with a loud voice stood in the middle of the venue and loudly announced to everyone what this sudden news was.
This knight commander spoke very loudly. Even if Link and Kermilla stood at the far corner of the venue, they could still hear him clearly. However, this knight commander may often preside over some etiquette or other matters.
What kind of activity is the work like? There are a lot of very, very complicated etiquette sayings. For example, when you say a few words, you don’t forget to praise the light of the Lord God. After saying a few words,
I wish His Majesty the King a long life. The other knight apprentices and soldiers are still very accustomed to the knight commander's speaking style. It's just a pain for Link and Kermilla because they follow Gar.
Teacher Wen, a young man who had rarely experienced such a scene, finally figured out what was going on until he was almost driven to the edge of rage by the knight commander's nonsensical words!
In fact, to sum it up, there is only one sentence, that is, a war will indeed be fought, but it will not be a large-scale war between countries as they originally imagined, but a war organized by the Bavar Empire and the Sakara Empire.
A joint encirclement and suppression of a group of horse thieves wandering on the border between the two countries.
So the knight chiefs sternly warned these young people that this time it was not a war, but just a suppression of bandits, because this was a joint operation between two countries. If they kept clamoring for a war, they might cause conflicts between neighboring countries and friendly countries.
The uneasiness and doubts of the army.
But regardless of whether he was fighting a war or suppressing bandits, Link and Kermilla, and even many young people who still had dreams, only understood one thing, and that was that they finally had a chance to go to the battlefield!
Since the team of horse thieves this time is relatively large, it has affected the normal commercial exchanges between the Bavaria Empire and the Saqqara Empire to a certain extent, threatening the life safety of the border residents, so the two empires
Only then will they decide to conduct a joint siege against this team of horse thieves.
But the horse thief group is just an insignificant bandit after all. Although it has a certain scale, it only has one or two thousand people. If the two empires really mobilized large-scale regular border troops for such a horse bandit group,
That would be too funny, so the result of the discussion between the top military leaders of the two empires was to regard this bandit suppression activity as an opportunity to train their troops, and decided that both sides would send out those newly trained soldiers, and it was completed
The young men who have completed their studies as knight apprentices and become trainee knights will serve as the main force in this anti-bandit battle!
The opportunity has come!
Link and Kermilla suddenly jumped up and ignored what the knight commander was still talking about. They turned around and ran up the mountain.
It has been more than two years since they became knight apprentices. Knight apprentices usually study with knight mentors for about three years. After passing the knight mentor's test and being approved by the knight mentor, they can become a knight.
As a trainee knight, not only can you truly step into the ranks of knights, but more importantly, you will also be qualified to participate in the battle this time.
So the key now lies in Mentor Calvin. As long as he can recognize that Link and Kermilla can pass his test, the two of them can put on the knight armor they have dreamed of for a long time, and get the long-dreamed weapon.
Knights with great swords just rush to the battlefield to experience a vigorous battle that can transform them into real knights.
Instructor Calvin, that old pervert, has already known what the two of them want, so he won't come up with some perverted tricks at this time, right?!
"Huh? A war?! The Sakara Empire?!" Link suddenly remembered something and slowed down a little.
"Ah!" Kermilla, who rushed to the top of the mountain one step ahead of Link, suddenly let out a shrill scream.
"What's wrong?" Link was startled and hurried over, but he happened to see Instructor Calvin sitting next to the burned out fire, pulling the last rabbit bone out of his mouth.
come out.
"Uh," Tutor Calvin burped, wiped his greasy beard, and said, "Link, your skills have improved, but two rabbits are too few. Remember to catch two more next time!
"
"No," Kermila ran to the fire, turning her head around to look for it, but finally sat down disappointedly: "It's really all gone! Not even half a piece of meat is left!"
"It's such an honor to be praised by the great mentor Calvin," but Link burst into laughter: "I will definitely catch two more next time!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Instructor Calvin patted his belly with satisfaction, suddenly turned to Link and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Kermilla was stunned for a moment and asked: "Uh, teacher, how do you know that we have something to ask you for?!"
"Tch", Teacher Calvin snorted disdainfully: "Except when you ask me for something embarrassing, when has this boy Link ever been so obedient?!"
"You are serious." Link was still smiling: "I have always respected Master Calvin very much. This time, I just want Master Calvin to help me with some small things."
"Oh? What's the matter?" It was obvious that after eating two roast rabbits, Teacher Calvin was in a good mood, and he actually became very cheerful: "Tell me about it!"
"For you, it's a piece of cake." Link's tone was very relaxed: "That's right, you should also know that the two empires are preparing to conduct a joint campaign to suppress bandits, and the trainee knights will be the first to fight this time.
Main force, so..."
"So you want to become a real trainee knight before the battle begins?!" The smile on Mentor Calvin's face gradually disappeared and he looked up at Link.
"Yes, I just said that Teacher Calvin is the smartest person in the world. You can understand it even without saying it!" Link was full of flattery.
Instructor Calvin's face became more and more serious, and he asked seriously: "Have you really decided to become a trainee knight before the battle?!"
This time neither Link nor Kermilla spoke, they just nodded heavily.
"Okay!" Instructor Calvin said concisely.
Link and Kermilla looked at each other, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
But before the joy could bloom on their faces, Mentor Calvin spoke again: "However, you two should know the rules for a knight apprentice to become a trainee knight, right?!"
"I know," Link and Kermilla replied at the same time: "You have to pass the personal test of the knight mentor!"
"It's good to know." Although Teacher Calvin's expression was still very serious, Link and Kermilla always subconsciously thought that at that moment, Teacher Calvin's eyes flashed with that kind of excitement that was so perverted.
The light: "Then do you think you have all the qualities to become a true knight?"
"Uh, I think... that's about it!" Kermilla thought for a while and touched her head.
"What about you?" Mentor Calvin's face turned to Link.
"I don't know." Link took a step forward and raised his head: "But I have been preparing for more than two years!"
Instructor Calvin looked at Link quietly for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Kimilar, don't worry, Link, starting from noon today, your daily training will be changed to a test. If one day you can
If you pass my test, you can walk out of here and become a trainee knight!"
"Okay!" Link nodded without hesitation.
"Uh", Instructor Calvin stretched and squinted at the sun in the sky: "It's still quite a while before noon. Well, you guys practice hard and I'll go and meditate for a while!"
Link and Kermilla have long been accustomed to the synonyms in Mentor Calvin's dictionary. His meaning of meditation is sleep.
Link quickly followed him and asked: "Teacher Calvin, what is the content of your test? You didn't tell me how I should practice?!"
"What's the content of the test..." Instructor Calvin looked around mysteriously, and then motioned for Link to put his ear closer.
Link quickly took a step forward and listened carefully to Mentor Calvin's instructions. Mentor Calvin leaned close to his ear and said: "You will know when the time comes!"
"You!" Link then realized that he had been tricked by Instructor Calvin again. When he raised his head, he saw that Instructor Calvin had quickly walked back to the cabin and looked at Link before closing the door.
He glanced at her and burst into laughter of "hehehehe".
This is definitely not the first time Link has heard this kind of perverted laughter that makes people feel chilly and sad.
So for some reason, he had already foreseen the upcoming test at noon, and he didn't know what kind of abnormal situation it would be.
"Oh, Teacher Calvin..." Link muttered with a complicated expression as he listened to the snoring gradually coming from the cabin.
How could such a person be a bad person?!
Before leaving here and becoming a knight's apprentice, you must figure this out!
Perhaps, for me, this is the first test of whether I can become Link's Knight!
