"Ah, you are still young, life is not as simple as you think, there are always many things that can annoy you to death!" Link winked, trying hard to make a bitter expression on his face, and imitated Teacher Calvin loudly.
His tone that night, unfortunately, his still somewhat undeveloped voice had nothing to do with deepness. Even though he pretended to be a bard, the effect was only to amuse Kermilla in front of him.
laugh.
"Then what?! Then what?!" Although he thought Link's expression was funny, Kermilla kept asking. Although he had heard the subsequent story more than once, he still thought it was very exciting.
"Alas." Instructor Calvin, who was pretending to be asleep, turned over on the bed, his stomach growled quietly, and he continued to pretend to be asleep.
Ever since the two people came back with injuries from the forest that day, and the next day when Link was still covered in bandages of all sizes, he had been excitedly telling Kermilla over and over again what happened that night in the forest.
The deeds, from the very beginning, were just slightly exaggerated narratives, to the dancing role-playing now, which is said to be a re-enactment of the scene. Of course, in his story, the great Knight Link is wise and mighty, and he can see through Gal at a glance.
Instructor Wen’s trap, and the great devil, Instructor Calvin, is stupid and actually tried to use our clumsy means to deceive Knight Link.
Link tells stories one after another, and each time he tells them there is something different and fresh, and Kermilla is also the best listener. He has listened to the same story a dozen times without getting bored, so
The most tragic thing is poor mentor Calvin. At first, he retorted a few words about the exaggeration in Link's words, but now Link can say what he wants in a tone that is completely different from the facts.
When the effect came, Teacher Calvin had no other choice but to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
If it had been in the past, the great mentor Calvin would have wielded the big stick in his hand and suppressed this nonsense boy, but now mentor Calvin really has no strength.
How long had he been planning for such a scene that night?
Every ten nights, I have to go out in the dark in the middle of the night, rain or shine, and the road is muddy at night in the mountains. It is easy for Teacher Calvin.
You also need to pay attention to when Link will notice that he is acting differently, and you can't let Link discover any flaws. This link will be even more tiring. If he hadn't deliberately made a little noise that night to make Link wake up vaguely.
Come here, this kid still sleeps like a dead pig every night!
But even after he woke up, the kid still opened his eyes stupidly all night, not knowing what he was thinking, which made him have to quietly hit him again and again.
Wake up and crawl out in the middle of the night. Such a difficult thing has been repeated so many times. Just think about it and you know how difficult it is.
In order to get this guy Link to take the bait, how much sleep time did Mentor Calvin sacrifice? You know, for Mentor Calvin who has no hobbies, falling asleep in meditation is almost the only most comfortable thing.
If you think about it, you can understand how much effort Master Calvin put into arranging this test that would allow Link to exert his greatest strength.
Finally, I saw Link following him in the middle of the night as expected. Instructor Calvin was so excited. Looking at Link's expression the next day, he had to hold back laughter when talking to Link in those days.
He put on a serious look, and the news that he had already heard about the joint suppression of bandits was announced as scheduled, and everything that followed went according to his expectations!
Special training! Special training again!
First, teach Link all the skills that can be taught, then use more than ten days of endless mental torture to suppress him to the edge of explosion, and then stir up his desperate emotions last night, so that Link can truly
He must fully display the true strength he has trained in the past three years. Only in this way can he understand what level of strength his apprentice has reached.
Then, Teacher Calvin had even predicted that when Link looked devastated and wanted to kill his mentor, or when he looked tragic and wanted to kill him himself, he would reveal the real answer and watch Link
The expression on this dead boy’s face, what a fun thing it would be!
But I never expected that everything was going so smoothly, but at the last moment, everything would be turned upside down. It was probably very funny that my expression at that time fell into Link's eyes.
What's going on?!
After being a pervert all his life, in the end, none of his apprentices perverted, what retribution!
"Ah, your eyes betray you!" Link had reached the final stage of chanting, and his voice became even louder.
"Hmph!" Instructor Calvin cursed bitterly in his stomach: "You damn boy, sooner or later I want you to come back. You haven't left yet, although..."
"Although it's fast..."
Instructor Calvin sighed quietly.
This boy has reached such an elf level now that he can't even fool himself anymore. It seems that he has really grown up. It's time for him to let him go and let the blood and fire temper him into a real man.
.
Instructor Calvin turned over again, this time he was really about to fall asleep, and muttered: "Damn boy!"
…………
There was a loud "clang" sound. Instructor Calvin smashed the pile of things in his hands to the ground, then sat down and wiped his sweat: "It's tiring to carry such heavy things on such a hot day. It's really tiring."
Dead! Link, Kermilla, give me a bowl of water!"
"Yeah, our knight suit is finally here!" Link and Kermilla ran in, but they didn't pay attention to Instructor Calvin who was sitting on the floor and ran straight to the pile of knight armor thrown on the ground. Link also
I almost stepped on Teacher Calvin.
"Damn boy!" Instructor Calvin shook his head helplessly and got up to get a drink of water.
"This helmet is very stylish!"
"The armor is still brighter!"
"Uh, no!"
The two boys who were playing with the pile of things happily raised their heads, looked at each other, then looked at Teacher Calvin, and asked loudly: "Why does it seem like there is just a knight's suit here!
"
They were holding the knight's armor scattered in their hands, which included heavy armor for winter and soft armor for summer, but it was obvious that this was just a suit for a knight, because there was only one badge for the trainee knight.
The mainland has been at peace for who knows how long. The knights of the empire have no longer had to go to the battlefield to fight and fight for a long time. Therefore, in order to show off the glory of the empire and decorate the prosperity of the empire, the armors of the knights have changed from the previous practical armor types.
It has turned into some shiny clothes with different styles in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there are also other different decorations. However, no matter how you change and increase the style, there is one thing that cannot be added, and that is the knight's emblem.
The knight's badge is a symbol of their identity and class. Having a badge of apprentice knight or above is equivalent to becoming a noble recognized by the empire. Therefore, the badge itself represents the most important thing for a knight. Some established
The Knights of Great Merit are allowed by the Empire to add the unique symbol of their Knights on their badges, which expresses the Empire's greatest respect for this Knights and is also the greatest glory of this Knights.
Instructor Calvin had originally agreed to go to the knights stationed at the garrison today to go through a series of procedures for Link and Kermilla to pass the test and transform from knight apprentices to trainee knights. However, although there were many sets of suits brought back
, but there is only one badge representing the trainee knight. What is going on?
Instructor Calvin drank a large bowl of water, put down the bowl and wiped the water stains on his beard with satisfaction, and then said to the two boys who looked at him with wide eyes: "Of course there is only one set.
Otherwise, how many more sets do you want?!"
"Teacher Calvin, you haven't woken up yet." After returning from the woods that day, Link also felt a little lawless, and he often spoke directly to Teacher Calvin: "Kemilla and I are two people? You
Why did you just bring back a knight suit?!"
"Uh", Master Calvin put his hand on his forehead and made an unbearable expression: "Why did I accept such a stupid knight apprentice? There are two of you, but have you ever seen any other knight mentor with a knight apprentice at the same time?
Two knight apprentices?"
"This..." Link and Kermilla stared at each other for a while, then shook their heads.
I have been coming to this sunset garrison for nearly three years. There are also many other knight apprentices who follow the knight mentors in this garrison. However, other knight mentors have one mentor and only one knight apprentice.
It is really unique for two knight apprentices like Link and Kermilla to follow the same knight mentor.
"That's right." Calvin shrugged: "A knight mentor only takes one knight apprentice in each period. The knight apprentices taught by the knight mentor want to become knights of the empire. If any of them are
Even if a knight instructor can take on as many apprentices as he wants, wouldn’t there already be as many knights in the empire as there are mountain beasts?!”
"Uh!" Link and Kermilla were a little dumbfounded.
Although they have stayed in the mountains these years, they have stayed in the military camp after all. There are also many other knight instructors and knight apprentices living here, so when they think back, they know that what instructor Calvin said is indeed true.
Becoming a knight's apprentice, and then being promoted to a trainee knight, is the only way to enter the aristocratic class under the current situation of long-term peace on the mainland. Therefore, the wise Emperor and the senior officials have a plan for
The number of apprentices who become apprentice knights in each period is strictly controlled.
After all, things are rare and valuable. The harder it is to get something, the more wealthy businessmen will buy it at a high price. Link has heard that some wealthy businessmen want their children to be recognized by their mentors by knights.
The apprentice was promoted to a trainee knight. Over the past two years, he has spent countless silver coins. Even if most of them are turned over to the imperial military according to the rules, it is still enough to live a good life at Sunset Garrison. If you can just do it casually,
If you change the title of trainee knight, who will spend a lot of money to buy it? Wouldn't the empire suffer a big loss?! The knights who have no benefits will not agree.
Therefore, although knight apprentices have a period of three years and one move every five years, there are very few knight apprentices who can actually be promoted as scheduled in three years. Generally, knight mentors have to wait for five years, or even longer.
For a long time, I have seen the knight apprentice Link who has not been promoted for ten years, and it seems that the knight instructor in each period can only approve one knight apprentice to be promoted to the apprentice knight. After all, it is all money, and the knights are not rich.
Well.
But what will Link and Kermilla do now?!
"But...but..." Link said with a bitter face, "Why didn't you make it clear earlier?!"
"It's useless to tell you earlier?!" Instructor Calvin called out Tianqu: "It's up to you to designate who will be your knight instructor. Isn't it the condition you have negotiated with Priest Aikas?! At that time, you
These two idiots are so discerning, and they picked me, the wise and powerful one, at a glance. What can I do?! Can I force Priest Aikas to repent on the spot?!"
"Uh!" Link and Kermilla were dumbfounded again, because what Teacher Calvin said was true again!
Link and Kermilla still remember the scene that day. At that time, Link forced the fat butler and the bald registration officer to wipe their necks. As long as he was willing to nod and sign up as a knight's apprentice, let alone the two of them.
If an individual wants to choose the same knight instructor, even if a few more people want to sign up together, the two knight officers will force the knight instructor to recognize him. Under the situation at that time, there is no room for what instructor Calvin can say.
of!
"Then what should we do now?!" Kermilla couldn't hold his breath anymore. He had practiced sword diligently every day in order to be able to go to the battlefield as soon as possible. But if he could not be promoted to become a trainee knight, he would not be able to do it.
Now that he can participate in the joint bandit suppression operation, it's no wonder that he is anxious.
"Don't be afraid." Link patted Kermilla on the shoulder: "You wait here first. It was the fat uncle who didn't explain clearly back then. I will go find him now. Isn't he a knight commander? Isn't there something else?
What about Sir Victoria? I’ll go talk to them and ask the knights to send one to each of us!”
"Really?!" Kermilla jumped with joy.
"Go, go." Before they could finish their joy, Instructor Calvin poured a basin of cold water on them: "Where is this place?! This is the Sunset Mountain Garrison Station, which is far away from your Fort Colo. Even that one
Why did Lord Victoria really agree to your request? How long will it take you to come and go?! Twenty days?! One month?!"
"Hmph." Teacher Calvin smiled proudly as he watched Link turn into a bitter face again. He now has, or rather had already had, the perverted hobby of hitting Link for fun: "According to
I know that the bandit suppression is about to begin, and those who have not been promoted to become knight apprentices in twelve days will not be able to participate in this battle!"
"No way," Link and Kermilla cried out in unison: "What should we do?!"
"There is only one way now." Teacher Calvin made a serious expression.
"What can I do? My most beloved mentor Calvin?!" Link's face immediately turned into a smile.
"There are two of you, and there is only one badge for the trainee knight, so", a foxy smile appeared on Mentor Calvin's face again: "You two go and grab it!"
"Do it?!"
"Rob?!"
Link and Kermilla's eyes widened, they shouted each other, then looked at Teacher Calvin, and shook their heads.
"That's it." Instructor Calvin stopped laughing and his tone became serious: "In peaceful times, there are very few opportunities to actually participate in the battle, so none of you should give up!"
Link and Kermilla had expressions of thinking on their faces.
"The badge is now on my body." Instructor Calvin sighed softly and said, "I will give you seven days. No matter which one of you two uses what method, you can get the badge first."
The one who gets it and keeps it until the last moment of sunset on the seventh day can become the real trainee knight!"
"That's it. This is my final test for you two." Instructor Calvin looked at Link and Kermilla, his eyes slowly softening: "Remember, seven days! Start now!"
