That night, Ruolin did not go far. She took the bull warrior and the archer and wandered outside the town for a long time. Although both subordinates believed that they should leave this unfortunate place as soon as possible, Ruolin did not.
It seemed that she had other plans in mind. There was a kind of hesitation and hesitation in her eyes... With this expression, she sat there holding her knees and looked at the moon all night.
Early the next morning, Du Wei and his party set out on the road, but this time there was an extra bullock cart behind the convoy, which contained the magician who had been tied into a rice dumpling. The poor magician looked exhausted and full of emotions.
His face was tired, and his whole body was wet, because Du Wei's knights completed the tasks assigned by Du Wei very well: pour a bucket of cold water on the magician every once in a while, and never let the magician have any sleep or sleep.
Opportunity to meditate to restore your mental strength!
Young Master Du Wei still followed his habit of sitting in the carriage compartment with a thick book in his arms and reading after he started on the road. It seemed that he had an extremely strong interest in reading.
When the well-made carriage was driving, even on the bumpy road, Du Wei could hardly feel any bumps. Du Wei lay comfortably on the soft, thick velvet blanket, curled up in a ball, reading and thinking...
But soon, he was interrupted.
Someone clicked lightly outside the car window, and then came Mad's slightly embarrassed voice: "Master...here, there is something I need to do for you."
Du Wei opened the car window and saw the frowning look on Mu De's face. Mu De rode a group of horses today. He drove the horse and the carriage parallel to each other. The man on the horse bowed and said: "Master, those guys in the tavern yesterday, they
Always following..."
Du Wei was slightly startled. He stuck out his head and glanced behind him. Sure enough, right behind their group, about a hundred steps away, far away, there was the long-legged girl from the tavern yesterday.
Two of her subordinates, a bull-like warrior and the archer, a total of three horses, followed at a distance.
When the other guarding knights of the Luo Lin family outside the carriage saw this scene, they all seemed to have melancholy expressions and suppressed smiles at the corners of their mouths.
Yesterday... that little girl came out of the little master's room... Could it be that the little master successfully conquered that little girl, and that little girl fell in love with the little master and was reluctant to leave? Haha...
However, the knights still did not dare to show the slightest ridicule to their master in front of him.
Du Wei pondered for a moment and whispered: "Stop the car. Go and call the girl over."
Ruolin, who was behind, had been following Du Wei's motorcade from a distance all morning. Her mind was a little confused and she didn't even understand why she was following Du Wei.
Is it because she is worried about the poor magician who was captured? It seems not to be the case. Ruolin doesn't care about that guy's life or death.
Suddenly, the convoy in front stopped, and then two knights were seen riding quickly towards here.
"Miss, our master wants to see you, please come over."
Because he considered that the long-legged girl in front of him might have an affair with his little master, the knight who sent the message was much more polite.
Ruolin was a little confused, nodded, and subconsciously drove her horse to follow. The two companions behind her were a little confused and more worried, but they still followed.
"Why are you following me?" Du Wei didn't even get out of the carriage. He just opened the door and sat in the carriage. He looked at the girl riding in front of him.
Ruolin turned over and dismounted, bit her lip, and suddenly, at this moment, the question that she had been struggling with all night had the answer in her heart!
Why? Maybe... because I saw that devilish smile on this guy's face again!
"I..." Ruolin stood beside the carriage. She took a deep breath, and then suddenly knelt down on one knee, right next to Du Wei's carriage. Then she lowered her head deeply and spoke in a serious tone.
: "I, Ruolin Moon, am loyal to you, and I am willing to become your subordinate! In the remaining decades of my life, I will use my blood and life to protect my oath today! It's just that
,Are you willing to accept my allegiance?"
Du Wei was silent for a while, examining the girl who was kneeling on one knee in front of the carriage, and then he slowly said: "You want to be loyal to me... why?"
"I don't know." Ruolin said what was in her heart: "Maybe you are right, I am too tired. For a girl to maintain all this, I already feel that my ability is far from enough. Maybe, I need to find someone
A big tree that I can rely on. And I am willing to be a vine that relies on a big tree to survive."
"Do you think I am a suitable big tree?" Du Wei smiled.
"Yes." Ruolin answered quickly this time: "Although I still don't know your identity, the feeling you give me... you must be an extraordinary person! In other words, you are destined to be
Become an extraordinary person!"
"It's really difficult." Du Wei sighed, and he turned to ask Mu De: "Oh, Mu De, I forgot, I should be qualified to recruit my own honorary knights now, right? How many can I recruit in total?
A knight?"
Du Wei didn't seem to care about this problem, "Well, my master..." Madhu, the former groom and current steward, fortunately did a lot of homework before his promotion, at least some of the rules he should learn.
He also learned some hard work and memorized the tradition: "My master, you are the eldest son of an earl. Even if you cannot inherit the title of earl in the future, according to imperial law, you can at least obtain the title of baron. And imperial law
Granting you the authority of a noble with such a title, you can recruit ten honorary knights of your own."
"Thank you." Du Wei touched his nose: "There are only ten places...Although it is a little less. However, knights can still be paired with retinues, right? A knight can be paired with several retinues. In this way, the direct subordinates
There are dozens of honorary knights plus each knight's retinue, not too few."
After getting Mad's approval, Du Wei rubbed his temples, then looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "Okay, I accept your allegiance, and from now on, I will grant you the status of an honorary knight of my subordinates.
...Well, you are the first honorary knight I have awarded the title, and you are also a female knight."
Ruolin seemed a little afraid to look at Du Wei's smiling face. She lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you... Also, since I have pledged my allegiance to you, please tell me the identity of the master."
"Oh, my identity... Duwei Luolin, the eldest son of Count Raymond, the current head of the Luolin family and vice president of the Imperial High Command, is me." Duwei smiled and continued: "Almost
I forgot that I have a resounding nickname in the imperial capital of the empire... They all call me... 'Idiot'."
"Bai, idiot?!" Ruolin's eyes widened.
Damn it! Is this kid an idiot? If he is an idiot, then there will be no geniuses in the world! If he is an idiot, then most people in the world will be imbeciles!
She did not dare to show a smile, so she quickly stood up, pointed at the two subordinates beside her, and said: "Dear Master, these two are my companions, their names are..."
"No, no, no." Du Wei interrupted her politely: "Sorry, I'm not very interested in their names. Besides, you heard that the law only allows me to recruit ten honorary knights.
One! I will not waste these quotas in vain... I also plan to reserve the remaining quotas to recruit a few Paladin or Great Swordsman level masters."
Du Wei didn't even look at Ruolin's two men.
What a joke! For a guy of this caliber, the bull warrior is just a little bit stronger. As for the archer... hmph, you can recruit three or five by just throwing in a few hundred gold coins! Even this female knight
...Well, if it weren't for the fact that she is a beauty and has a pair of beautiful long legs...otherwise, Du Wei would not like her due to her martial arts skills.
"Your Excellency, Lady Knight Ruolin of Moon, now you are my direct honorary knight. Your two subordinates can be regarded as your retinues. As for your knight badge and equipment, I will wait until you reach your destination.
You will be fully equipped by the family’s servants. Now, please bring your people into the team and let’s hit the road. If everything goes well, we can get home tonight.”
Ruolin didn't say anything, but her two subordinates couldn't help but feel a little depressed about losing the chance to be awarded the title of knight.
This is a real opportunity to become a knight!
Generally speaking, there are only three opportunities to obtain the title of knight. The first is to possess powerful martial arts, and then be evaluated by the Knights Association and obtain genuine knight medals of different levels - this kind of knight is considered the most formal.
knight.
The second type is dedicated to the Temple of Light and loyal to the church since childhood. After being trained in martial arts since childhood, he grows up and passes strict selection to become a temple knight of the church.
The third method is to pledge allegiance to the nobles and obtain the title of direct honorary knight granted by the nobles.
As for these two guys, first of all, they do not have strong martial arts and cannot pass the assessment of the Knights Association. Secondly, they are not members of the church, and they cannot become temple knights.
The only way to advance to the knighthood is to be recruited by a noble.
However, those who have the authority to recruit knights are some big nobles, and they will not take a fancy to guys with three-legged cat skills like them.
Looking at her two somewhat depressed companions, Ruolin could only whisper a few words of comfort.
Ruolin's heart was complicated at the moment. Once she pledged her allegiance to Du Wei, it would mean that she would lose her independence. The small independent group she had worked so hard to maintain would collapse. She would no longer be the leader, but would be loyal to others.
subordinates.
However, what Ruolin didn't even know was that many, many years later, when people look back on history, they will mention this day!
Because, the first official member of the ten demon knights of the "Devil Knights" who later became famous in the mainland: the earliest female knight loyal to the devil, Ruolin Moon! This name is also because of this special moment.
