All the voices fell silent, and those on the field all turned their attention to Link.
The two soldiers standing next to Link were obviously overwhelmed by Link's sudden words. They stayed there and forgot to reach out to pull him.
The bald registration officer was also obviously stunned for a moment. In his impression, the people standing aside were all the children of big businessmen. He was obviously on their side when he spoke. How could someone choke on him when he spoke?
At this time, the registration officer who was responsible for collecting Link's registration fee quickly came over and said a few words in the ear of the bald registration officer. Then the bald registration officer suddenly remembered and quickly smiled with a smile on his face and faced Lin Ke.
Ke said: "This young master, you..."
"I'm not a young master." Link's statement was still cold: "Listen, my name is Link. My father is Pavel, the best blacksmith in Coloburg. I, Link, am the son of a blacksmith.
I am not a young master, but I will definitely be the best knight, do you understand?"
"Wow!" The scene was filled with shouts. The businessmen, including all the registration officers, were asking people around them to ask each other, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears and they heard wrongly.
In fact, this kind of registration examination to recruit knight apprentices, and then select outstanding apprentices to become knights of the province or the empire's knight corps, takes place every five years, but since a long time ago, knight apprentices have almost become those
The children of businessmen have a patent. Every time they come here to sign up, they are almost all the younger generations of businessmen's families. This is why when the province of Kansa recruits knight apprentices this time, it will be in this remote but commercial place.
The reason why the prosperous Fort Colo has a dedicated registration point.
After all, in the tradition of the Bavarian Empire and even the entire continent, although merchants are rich, they are always much lower than the nobles. Although there are legends that some merchants with great ability can also become
Guests of major nobles can even secretly influence the decision-making changes of the entire country, but this is only a thing that exists in legends after all. For these wealthy but lacking status businessmen, it is definitely something out of reach.
.
Therefore, in a country where nobility is hereditary, becoming a knight's apprentice, and thus potentially becoming a trainee knight, or even becoming a formal knight of the province or the empire, is almost the only way for these businessmen to climb up the ranks of the nobility.
After all, although the title of knight cannot be hereditary through inheritance like other nobles, the fact that a knight recognized by the empire can appear in a merchant's family is a fact worth showing off!
Besides, today's knights are not like before, they have to take the risk of going to war at any time.
In the long history of the entire continent, it seems that since various countries listened to the oracles and surrendered to the embrace of the gods, there have been no large-scale wars in historical records. Some empires have changed power, and many more have
Under the will of God, power was transferred peacefully. Although it is said that there were several small-scale struggles by losers during this period, but under the omnipotent power of God, what does this mean?
Therefore, the only things that knights now have to learn in training and future life are how to wear armor to look better, how to make postures more powerful, and so on. In short, it is like
The bald registration officer just said how to show the glory of the empire!
What a wonderful profession this is, how could those businessmen let it go if they see any advantage like flies?
Therefore, for a long time, in the bald registration officer's memory, it seems that since he first signed up for the knight's apprenticeship, the knight's apprenticeship registration has become something exclusive to them, the children of businessmen.
After all, in the Bavarian Empire, the registration fee of one hundred silver coins is enough to cover the income of a small handicraftsman like Bavel, who is considered to be very high-income, for more than half a year. Very few of these ordinary people will
I am willing to spend so much money to send my children to come here to participate in something like this.
And even if once or twice, a blind pariah like him scrapes together enough money to sign up, he will often be rejected by the registration officers for various reasons.
Just kidding, those untouchables who have been doing cheap jobs since they were young are often better than businessmen kids like them in terms of strength and stamina. What if they sign up for success and are lucky enough to be picked during training?
, wouldn’t that crowd out other people’s places?
In the memory of the bald registration officer, it was not the first time that such an ignorant pariah wanted to squeeze into the ranks of glorious knights at the registration meeting, but like this tall young man today, there was no gray after being rejected.
The person who walked away smoothly and still dared to argue with himself was already the boldest untouchable he had ever seen.
Then now, the young man whose father was said to be more powerful than Lord Victoria suddenly jumped out and said that he was just the son of a blacksmith, and then he actually dared to point at his nose and curse.
Is the great god asleep?!
Is this world going to change?!
The bald registration officer looked at Link, then looked up at the sky, then looked back at Link, his mouth wide open, looking dumbfounded.
It turned out that the two soldiers who had been following Link were half crazy with fright. They finally ran over. They timidly wanted to pull Link but didn't dare. They said to Link with a grimace: "Little...
...Young Master, please stop making trouble. If anything happens, we will..."
"I'll say it again." Link glanced at the two soldiers coldly: "I am not a young master, I am the son of the blacksmith Pavel, and my name is Link!"
Now even the two soldiers opened their mouths: "Then you...your horse..."
"I got that from a fat uncle on the road," Link said angrily: "He wanted to invite me to ride in the car, but I thought he was a liar so I didn't sit on it. He just took the horse and rode over. I
I’m not a young master, and I don’t know Lord Victoria, now you understand, right?!”
Link is angry!
What made him angry was not only the bald registration officer's attitude towards the gardener's son, but what was even more angry was the bald registration officer's description of the knight!
He actually said that knights are just decorations used to show off the glory of the empire?!
I really don’t understand how those knights next to me can still listen?!
What's more, this guy even looks down on his own father, a craftsman!
Link snorted coldly. If he were somewhere else, Knight Link would have given him a good lesson, and he would have beaten his bald head all over.
Now the people around him, including the two soldiers and the registration officers, were all in a panic!
What do you understand?!
Although Link's words were actually telling the truth, they were without beginning or end. When these people heard it, they only understood one thing!
That's the horse this kid is riding, not his!
It turns out that this guy’s horse was either stolen or snatched!
It turns out that this kid is actually a thief and a robber!
And the target of his theft and robbery is very likely to be the great Lord Victoria!
"Praise the Lord God!" the bald registration officer praised devoutly, secretly breaking into a cold sweat.
"It seems that the Lord God has not abandoned me," the bald registration officer thought happily: "If it were not for the guidance of the Lord God, I would have almost absorbed this thief who offended Lord Viado into the pure knight apprentice team.
, if Master Viado will be angry at that time..."
The bald registration officer could not help but shudder, and did not dare to think about the terrible possibility.
He is just a priest accompanying the knights. He is only a squad leader. There is a huge gap between him and Lord Viado, who is the deputy commander of the army!
As for the plot that Link just mentioned about the fat uncle once inviting him to ride in a carriage, in such an atmosphere, he had long been selectively ignored!
"Okay, you robber (thief)!" The two soldiers who had been respectful to Link just now suddenly shouted loudly at the same time after being stunned for a long time.
"No wonder I've noticed something wrong with you a long time ago. How could a nobleman wear such shabby clothes?"
"That's right, I've seen you being sneaky for a long time, so keeping an eye on you all the way is definitely not a good thing!"
The children of businessmen who were signing up nearby also started making noises:
"Catch him, you bad boy!"
"You can tell by his actions that he is a pariah!"
"It's really not a good thing. Catch this thief!"
"Shut up!" Link became angry and glanced at the group of idiots: "I will naturally explain to the fat uncle about this horse. If you dare to say that I am a thief, don't blame me for being rude!"
Those people were all startled by Link's words, and then there was a louder voice:
"It's so outrageous, you actually dare to do this!"
"This kid is too courageous!"
"Oh God, he actually dares to scold us!"
The bald registration officer spoke at this time: "By God, my child, do you know that theft and robbery are sins that violate the instructions of the gods and must be punished!"
Link stared at him coldly, snorted, turned around and walked towards the horse.
"Oh, this is a heart that has turned away from God. He is still full of sin until now!" The bald registration officer shouted: "You can't leave, you must stay and wait for Lord Viado's judgment!"
Link shook his head and kept walking: "I said, this is my business, I will handle it myself!"
The bald registration officer was also angry. He frowned and shouted to the person next to him: "Catch him!"
"Who dares to come here!" Link was angry, and with a clang, he pulled out the knife in his arms.
The two soldiers closest to Link were about to follow the bald registration officer's order and move forward, but were frightened by Link and took a few steps back.
"A child who has betrayed God," the bald registration officer looked at Link with some pity: "Now you have not only hundreds of righteous young men who want to become knight apprentices, but also fifty-three knight mentors recognized by the empire.
Do you think you can escape from them?"
"I don't have to run away, I will leave in an upright manner," Link said coldly: "I just said it, this is my business, I don't need to explain to you, I will handle it myself!"
His eyes swept over the group of knights and the would-be knight apprentices, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "You don't know what a knight is, let me tell you, a knight is not a vase to show off the empire's appearance, nor is it a decoration for you to whitewash peace.
, Knights represent the conscience of safeguarding fairness, and knights represent the persistence of protecting justice, so I will leave in an upright manner. If there are real knights standing here, I believe they will have the vision and courage to distinguish right from wrong, I believe!"
"As for the others," he looked at the idiots who were a little panicked under his glance: "If you want to come, feel free to come!"
He was often taken by his little dad to roll around in the forest on foggy nights since he was a child. Now when he loses his temper, although his small stature looks a bit uncoordinated in front of such a large crowd, he is all
Everyone could vaguely feel that this child actually exuded the aura of a ferocious beast.
With a "gudong" sound, the bald registration officer swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
For some reason, he always felt that the child's eyes and the sharp-looking knife in his hand were always staring at his throat, which made his throat feel a little itchy all the time.
He turned his head and looked at the group of knights, only to find that all the knights had turned their faces and no one paid attention to him.
No matter what, they are the knights of the empire after all, and they were once young after all!
Although they have been destined to be used as vases to show off their appearance from the day they put on the knight's armor, and although they have long been accustomed to treating themselves as vases, now each of them has a different heart.
They all vaguely knew that the definitions of knights mentioned by this young man were actually what they had hoped for, dreamed of, and longed for when they were young!
They had also had many dreams about knights, but the reality had always been deeply suppressed in their hearts. It was only now that the words from this young man's mouth made them recall their thoughts when they were young again.
So they don't have any bad feelings towards this boy at all now, let alone follow the bald registration officer's words to catch him.
A priest accompanying the knights can't command these knight instructors!
What's more, knights are not used to do these things: catching petty thieves!
"I support you!" The tall young man, who had been in the crowd just now, now jumped out, strode up to Link, looked at Link, and said loudly: "I believe you! You are like this
If a person becomes a thief or a robber, I, Kermilla, will twist off his head!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the spear from the hand of the soldier next to him, scaring the two soldiers into fleeing further.
The bald registration officer shouted: "What do you want to do?!"
The tall young man looked at him contemptuously. He put his hands together and bent them hard, bending the wrought-iron spear into a bow shape. The mouths of the bald registration officer and many people around him were seen.
, so wide that a whole mountain beast's egg can be stuffed into it.
The two soldiers no longer dared to stay around these two dangerous people, Link and the young man, and ran away until they were close to the knights, and then they felt a little safer.
The tall young man Kermilla shouted to Link: "Let's go, let's not sign up for this bastard knight apprentice anymore. Whoever dares to stop us, I will knock out his balls!"
"Lord God," the bald registration officer wailed in his heart, but did not dare to say anything to stop him.
Since the knights did not listen to his command at all, the only ones available in the entire field were those few soldiers who were almost hiding in the crowd.
As for the group of merchant boys who came to sign up, although there were a lot of them, they were still two such fierce robbers who relied on them to catch the robbers. It would be a great honor for these idiots to stand and not run away.
By the Lord, the bald registration officer doesn’t want to serve the benevolent Lord so soon!
It's better to let them leave first. Anyway, the job of catching thieves and robbers is not the responsibility of me, the registration officer.
The bald registration officer comforted himself like this.
Anyway, what they offended was Lord Victoria who was stationed in Fort Colo. As long as they reported to Lord Victoria at that time, Lord Victoria would naturally come forward to deal with these two bad boys.
Let’s go! Let’s go!
He was now looking at the knife in Link's hand and the iron spear that was bent like a hunched back by the tall young man Kermilla, and his heart went crazy. He always felt that he would only have the chance if these two troubles were gone earlier.
sense of security.
"No, you are wrong." Link put away the knife, looked at Kermilla, and smiled brightly.
The bald registration officer looked at Link and turned his eyes towards him, and his face suddenly became more bitter.
No, are you kidding me?
This disaster star is not leaving anymore?!
What else does he want to do?!
Fortunately, Link quickly went on to say: "Listen, I will leave today, but I will definitely come back to sign up for the Knight Apprenticeship!"
Link's eyes looked at the group of knights: "I believe that a real knight will never be what you said. I believe that I will become a real knight one day, and will become a real knight who protects justice and fairness.
As a knight, I will definitely let everyone understand what the true glory of a knight is, and I will definitely come back!"
"Okay!" A shout of approval and applause actually echoed through the ranks of the knights.
Everyone forgot about the past. A bearded knight clapped his hands and shouted to Link indifferently: "Boy, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Thank you!" Link glanced at the bearded knight and remembered his appearance in his heart.
He turned back and greeted Kermilla: "Let's go! Let's go together!"
"Okay! You are right, we will be back!" Kermilla also smiled sincerely and followed Link towards the white horse.
This time, no one stopped them.
"Praise the Lord God", the bald registration officer had been thinking about it for a long time and then he finally gave it up. It wasn't until he saw that the two boys were about to climb on the horse's back that he said it in a soft and sacred voice.
One sentence: "Let them go, the power of the Lord God is omnipresent,...well...those who deviate from the instructions of the gods will definitely be punished by the gods no matter where they go!"
"Hmph!" Link and Kermilla snorted disdainfully, ignoring the bald registration officer's words. They looked at each other and smiled before leaving!
"You can't go! You can't go!"
A hurried call came quickly from far to near.
Everyone looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
A carriage, a carriage equipped with a horse, rushed towards here at the fastest speed.
"Gah!" The charioteer tightened the reins, and before the whole carriage could stop, Lord Viado's fat butler had already rolled out of the carriage.
As if he didn't see anyone else in his eyes, he got out of the car and rushed straight towards Link, grabbing Link's hand tightly for fear that he would run away: "You can't go! Young Master Link, you
You must not leave!”
Everyone, including the bald registration officer and the knights, stretched their necks and were completely dumbfounded by the scene before them!
