"Lord God!" Both the fat butler and the bald registration officer felt that their eyes were filled with darkness. If they hadn't both been knights and were reasonably strong, they would have fainted and died on the spot.
"Young Master," the fat butler's body was trembling a little, but he still tried to put on a smile on his face: "Didn't you originally want to sign up as a knight's apprentice? How...how..."
"Because of the belief that I have upheld all my life, I encountered a ruthless blow here!" Link looked at the bald registration officer, with an expression of inexplicable sadness and anger on his innocent face. Almost everyone present, including the fat man,
Everyone, including the housekeeper, could not help but sympathize with this half-year-old child, and cast an angry look at the bald registration officer: "He actually told me the purpose of the existence of Imperial knights like Lady Victoria and Fat Uncle.
It's just because they are accessories to show off the glory of the empire. They actually say that the knight group is just a decoration to show the glory of the empire in the peaceful era. Oh my God, this will be very confusing to a young man who has wanted to be a great knight since he was a child.
What kind of insult is it? How can I still have the enthusiasm and impulse to serve as a knight's apprentice?!"
"Mr. Aikas, I think I need an explanation." When the fat butler heard Link's words, his face turned cold. He turned to the bald registration officer and said, "With Lord Victoria's temper, I miss him."
Such comments that blatantly slander the reputation of the Knights will certainly not be allowed to exist!"
After all, he is Victoria, the commander of the Iron-blooded Army and the butler beside the Bloodthirsty Demon King. Although he knows the purpose of Link's words, and although he knows that what the bald registration officer said is not too outrageous, in Castle Colo
Hearing such words on the ground, he still had to express his attitude.
If Master Victoria knew that she had heard such remarks with her own ears but did not express any expression at all, then I might not have to hang around here anymore!
"I know you! In fact, this is completely a misunderstanding!" The bald registration officer felt the murderous look the fat butler turned to him, and smiled with a smile on his face. He hurriedly nodded and bowed to the fat butler and Link.
Said: "Sir, young Master Link, this is completely a misunderstanding!"
"I mean, like some unlearned businessmen, like ordinary, mediocre and useless knights like me." The bald registration officer looked at the eyes of the fat butler and Link, gritted his teeth and joined in.
: "We can only be used as decorations to show off the prosperity of the empire, and we can only be used as tools to decorate the peace of the empire!"
"But", he turned his head to the fat butler and Link: "But heroes like Sir Victoria and you, and geniuses like young Master Link, of course it is different!"
He looked at Link, with that magic-stick look on his face again: "My God, when I first saw you, young master, I felt the dazzling light radiating from your body. That just now
What you said was actually just a small test to hear the young master’s true inner thoughts. When I heard those words from the young master, I felt so happy and unexcited.
!”
"Lord God", the bald registration officer's face actually filled with tears. He stretched out his hands to face the sky and shouted loudly: "You have kindly guided me so that your believers can see such a knight in their lifetime."
Genius, from what you just said, young Master Link, I can conclude that you will definitely become a great knight who can recreate the traditional glory of the Imperial Knights. You will definitely become the messenger of justice and represent the Imperial Knights.
Conscience, are you still unwilling to accept my sincere invitation to take your first step towards becoming the greatest knight in the empire?!"
"Uh!" Many of the inexperienced young people standing aside were moved by the bald registration officer's excellent singing and singing performance. They almost believed that he was really a knight instructor with foresight and long-term vision.
Even the tall young man Kermilla standing next to Link, now looking at the bald registration officer, his eyes changed from hatred to a little doubtful. After all, this guy's expression of devotion is full of excitement and tears.
His eyes seemed to tell how sincere his words were, so many people felt that if they and Link were in another place, it would be difficult to refuse such an invitation full of affection and sincerity.
.
Even the fat butler couldn't help but look at the bald registration officer with admiration. He was able to respond so quickly and with such a heartfelt performance to get around something that was almost impossible to turn around. This guy was really good.
What an old fox!
However, his current purpose is still the same as that of the old fox, so of course he will not expose him. Instead, he cooperates and takes a step forward and says to Link: "Young Master Link, look at this..."
"Oh," Link rolled his eyes and scratched his head and said, "The uncle said it very nicely, but there are some things I don't quite understand. I would like to ask this uncle for advice!"
The bald registration officer started sweating profusely on his forehead, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Say it, say it! If there is anything I said that is not good, just say it!"
"Lord God", he wailed in his heart: "Is this guy in front of me a child or a little fox? It would be great if he was as honest as the tall young man next to him!"
Link looked at the bald registration officer and chuckled: "Who are the unlearned businessmen you just mentioned, and those ordinary, ordinary, mediocre knights who make up the majority?
?!"
He turned to face the businessmen and the knight instructors standing in the middle of the field: "You are not talking about these young brothers and the knights, are you?!"
"Ah!" A small commotion spread among the young people standing aside. They had just been confused by the passionate words of the bald registration officer. They had not thought of such a problem for a while, but now they were
As soon as Link deliberately reminded him, he immediately realized that in order to set off Link's greatness, people like him had turned into most ordinary, mediocre people who could only be used as decorations and were ignorant and unskilled.
They are all children of businessmen. Before they signed up, almost most of them were connected by elders in the family who secretly gave a lot of money to the bald registration officer. Now they suddenly realized that they were bald.
The registration officer couldn't help but become angry because of such intrusive remarks.
Those knight instructors showed their appearance and demeanor as knights, but they still stood there without any expression or movement. However, the bald registration officer always felt that the eyes that the knight instructors occasionally shot at him became abnormal.
of coldness.
Link smiled secretly in his heart.
This is a trick to deceive children. Link's little dad had used it on Master Link countless times every time he wanted to default on his debt. When Link was less than ten years old, he used it on him.
He has learned how to steal food while crying and bursting into tears when his mischief is discovered by Big Daddy and locked in the room. In the eyes of Master Link, this bald man's stuff is
Play with the rest!
"This... this..." The bald registration officer was so confused that he didn't know what to say: "You can't say that..."
"But", Link's face was still filled with an innocent look: "If they are not the ordinary, mediocre, unlearned people you mentioned, then in other words they are all related to Wei.
A hero like Lord Viado?! Then don’t you mean to say that there are knights like Lord Viado everywhere?!”
"Yes." The bald registration officer looked at the fat butler's increasingly gloomy expression, and finally nodded and compromised: "Of course they are different from Lord Viado and Master Link. They are indeed more... mediocre.
of……"
He is a priest accompanying the regiment, and his rank is higher than those of the knights present, not to mention those merchants, so although he also knows that once he says these words, it will be difficult for him to get along in front of these people in the future.
But now he doesn't care so much anymore.
After all, in comparison, Lord Viado is truly the one who cannot be offended!
"Then I don't understand." Link still had an innocent expression on his face: "Then since I am the genius among the knights you call me, and you have given the knight instructors and students in the field such a kind of
If you want to comment, then why should I sign up to be a knight’s apprentice and become one of them?!”
"Devil!" The bald registration officer was speechless. Looking at Link with a harmless expression on his face, he had already given him such a definition in his heart. Sweat was pouring all over his head and dripping down his forehead.
When he came down, he didn't even bother to wipe it.
"You smart guy." The fat butler looked at the bald registration officer and knew that he could no longer count on him, so he reprimanded him: "You can fool young Master Link?!"
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Link: "Young Master Link, Aikas's talk has offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't give up because of Aikas's stupidity.
To the entire knight team, if you have any needs or want any punishment for the Aikas court, please feel free to ask and I will definitely do it for you!"
He was really anxious, and he had already seen from Link's reaction that the young Master Link in front of him was just like a little fox, so he wanted to do some tricks like Aikas
Trying to fool the young Master Link in front of you would only be counter-productive. It would be better to explain things openly and honestly, and maybe it might actually achieve some results.
In fact, after coming to the conclusion that Link is a little fox, the fat butler breathed a sigh of relief. After all, relatively speaking, he was more afraid that the young master Link in front of him was really a person who only acted according to his own will without regard to the benefits.
The half-grown child of the relationship had offended the kind of guy who was not afraid of anything. There was really nothing he could do to persuade him to live with him. But facing a sensible person like Link, he had some things to say between the two parties.
A space for interaction.
Even if he really wants to punish this unlucky bald registration officer, the fat butler is still confident that he can do it on this ground in Fort Colo!
Just kidding, Young Master Link's future is related to the steward's legs. In the steward's heart, it is more valuable than the life of this little bald registration officer!
"Punishment..." Link rubbed his chin and approached the bald registration officer with a smile.
The bald registration officer looked at Link's eyes and glanced at different parts of himself, as if he was studying which piece to cut off. He was almost crying, and his legs were shaking.
I was so scared that I almost peed my pants.
"Forget about the punishment!" Link suddenly turned around and waved his hand a little uninterested.
He was not a vicious person to begin with, but there were some things in his heart that could not be touched. The words of the bald registration officer really offended a taboo in his heart, which was why he had such a big reaction.
, now looking at the bald registration officer who was so frightened that he almost fainted, I simply let him go!
"I have three conditions," Link turned to the fat butler and said with a smile.
To become the greatest knight, you must start as a knight apprentice. How could Knight Link give up such an opportunity?
It's just that if you don't open it when the conditions are right for you to open it, you'd be a fool!
Well, this little daddy’s words are really wise!
"Say, just say it!" The fat butler's eyes were radiating with excitement, and the bald registration officer nodded desperately. If you just look at the performance of the two of them, I'm afraid everyone will think that they are both.
The other is a pair of big bad wolves who are trying to lure Link, a lost lamb, astray.
However, the Lamb is beginning to blackmail the Big Bad Wolf: "First, I want to designate a knight mentor that I am willing to follow!"
"Uh!" The fat butler and the bald registration officer were both slightly stunned. Knight mentors have always chosen apprentices, but I have never heard of apprentices being asked to designate their own mentors!
But it didn't matter. The fat butler was just stunned for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, this is no problem!"
The knight instructors present were all of a lower level than him, not to mention that there was Lord Victoria behind him!
The fat butler raised his head: "I can cover you!"
Link nodded with satisfaction and raised a second finger: "Secondly, I don't have to learn etiquette and rules that are just for decoration if I feel it is not necessary. Of course, only if I have
No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will study it seriously to help me become a true knight, you can rest assured!"
"Okay, I promise you!" The fat butler didn't even hesitate this time and nodded directly in agreement.
Although this condition is even more contrary to the knight's apprentice code than the previous one, it doesn't matter.
Since even the knight instructor is appointed by the apprentice himself, it cannot be expected that this knight instructor can command the young master Link in front of him to learn something that he is not willing to learn.
Although the fat butler also understands that the biggest function of the knights in the empire now is to decorate etiquette, but now as long as he can get this troublesome little fox in front of him to agree to become a knight apprentice, what kind of alternative knight does he want to be?
That's all the housekeeper can worry about.
What's more, the serious look on Link's face when he said this vaguely made the fat butler feel that maybe the young master Link in front of him could learn and grow according to his own temperament.
It can really train one more truly great knight for the Imperial Knights!
"Third," Link smiled at the bald registration officer. The smile made the bald registration officer almost weak in his legs and he sat down directly on the ground.
"By God, please don't torture me anymore," the bald registration officer secretly vowed, "No matter what the occasion is, I will never say another word!"
Link suddenly reached out his hand and pulled over the tall young man who had been happily cheering for him: "The words of the bald man just now also seriously hurt the feelings of my friend, so the one in front of me
The two conditions must also apply to this friend of mine!"
The bald registration officer let out a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly before the fat butler could: "Okay, no problem, I'll handle all the procedures for you right away!"
"Oh?" Link looked at the bald registration officer and smiled mischievously: "It seems you are very sincere!"
"Ah!" The bald registration officer looked at Link's smile and suddenly wanted to slap himself hard in the mouth.
Why are you talking too much about the oath you just made?
"Since you are so sincere, I think you wouldn't mind giving my friend a little more compensation!" Link smiled even more like a little fox.
The bald registration officer covered his mouth with all his strength this time, but he still had to nod lightly.
Link nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then you will help pay for my friend's living expenses during his apprenticeship as a knight. I think this amount of money is nothing to you, right?!"
The bald registration officer breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to say anything more. He just nodded his shiny head.
"Link, you..." Kermilla was a little stunned and looked at Link.
In the Bavarian Empire, those who work in small handicraft businesses such as gardeners and blacksmiths cannot have a very good family situation. The hundred silver coins that Kermilla came to sign up for as a knight apprentice this time were saved by the family for more than five years.
After coming down, the whole family had to scrimp on food and clothing for this reason. Today, Kermila was still wearing patched clothes. The bald registration officer who paid attention to his appearance was so displeased with him because of this.
I heard that after becoming a knight's apprentice, you have to buy those simulated armors and simulated knight swords for practicing etiquette, so Kermilla was still worried!
It turned out that after he saw the fat butler appear, he was just happy for Link, but he didn't expect that Link had even imagined this for him!
It's just that he hasn't had time to talk to Link about this yet, so how did Link know?!
Link carelessly bumped Kmilla with his shoulder: "Friends!"
"Well, yes", Kermilla smiled naively: "Friend!"
The fat butler then cautiously came over and said to Link: "Well, young Master Link, we have agreed to your conditions, so do you think..."
"Okay, let's do it." Link waved his hand generously: "Just go through all the procedures, and I will become a knight's apprentice!"
The fat butler finally got the long-awaited result. Without delaying for a moment, he immediately took the bald registration officer and filled out all the certificates and other documents required for Link and Kermilla to serve as knight apprentices. Originally,
The complicated procedures were completed in their hands in less than half a meal.
"Young Master Link," the fat butler still felt uneasy after thinking about it. He ran to Link and said with a smile, "Why don't you also decide who your knight mentor is, so that I can go back and talk to Victoria
It’s easier for adults to speak up when reporting!”
The fat butler was quite thoughtful, because after all, this was something without precedent. If the knight mentor chosen by Link was unhappy or refused to accept it, there would be trouble again. It would be better to just take advantage of his presence.
Finalize all these things so that nothing happens again.
At this time, the knight mentors were drawn from different garrison places. Once the knight apprentice followed a knight mentor, he had to follow his mentor back to his mentor's garrison to complete the entire apprentice's learning and training there.
The training process, so as long as a knight mentor is appointed, this troublesome young master can really be sent away completely.
"Oh? Okay." Link walked up to a knight in the knight mentor group, suddenly put away the smile on his face, and solemnly gave the knight the formal courtesy of an apprentice meeting a mentor, and then used a very
He asked in a serious tone: "I really hope to follow you. Are you willing to guide me to achieve the glory of a knight?!"
"Uh!" Everyone was a little dumbfounded by Link's move, because the bearded knight Link faced was just the lowest level, a junior high knight who had just qualified to become a knight mentor.
When Link was talking to the fat butler and the bald registration officer just now, he had been teasing him randomly without showing any respect at all. But now he actually showed such respect to such a junior knight, which made the fat man laugh.
The housekeeper and the bald registration officer felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"He is the knight who just cheered for this kid!" Someone in the crowd recognized the bearded knight, and many people suddenly realized it.
"Oh?" The bearded knight took his respect for Link as a matter of course, without any expression of surprise. He smiled at Link and said, "Tell me your reason!"
"Because I think you are a real knight, and only you here can teach me to become a real knight!" Link blinked his blue eyes and said seriously.
"Okay, I'll accept you first!" The bearded knight also laughed heartily: "But if you fail my test, don't blame me for driving you back!"
"I want it too." After Kermilla shouted loudly, she realized that everyone was staring at him, so her voice suddenly became softer, and she saluted the bearded knight and asked, "Can I
Choose you to be my knight mentor too?!"
"Then what's your reason?" The bearded knight turned his head and looked at Kermilla.
"Uh", Kermilla scratched her head: "I want to follow Link, we are friends!"
"For this reason...", the bearded knight tilted his head: "Okay, you can come together!"
"Yeah!" Link and Kermilla both jumped up.
For them, not only did they successfully become a knight's apprentice, but they also found a good mentor and met a good friend, which is indeed a very happy thing.
At the same time, the fat butler and the bald registration officer were almost jumping up. For them, this long and painful day was finally about to clear up and the moon would shine.
The members of the Knight Mentor Group and those who were watching were also very happy. The members of the Knight Mentor Group were happy that someone finally took over this young master who seemed very difficult to deal with. They would not have to offend him for this in the future.
Those who couldn't afford it and were difficult to deal with had a headache. But those who signed up were happy that they could finally continue to sign up.
In this happy mood, the bearded knight scratched his fluffy beard, squinted at the two jumping and energetic teenagers in front of him, and muttered: "Hey, hey, he actually picked it up.
