In the days after Charles's accident, I heard Jim say that he was unconscious that day, and it was Liana who sent him back to the teacher in time.

Regardless of whether he really had an accident or not, with Liana's heart, he was grateful.

So the day after Charles learned about this, he visited Liana and thanked him in person, and the two really had a relationship.

This female senior who is covered in dozens of crystals is close to Aunt Leila's age, although she is not as spicy as Leila, but she is full of stubbornness that is unwilling to be left behind.

At this moment, seeing Liana's uncertain face and faintly gloomy, Charles couldn't help but be a little curious:

"Sister Liana, why are you here?"

"Charles, something happened to Jim. Liana frowned slightly, but her face didn't look very worried, but a little unhappy.

Charles looked at the soldiers on duty at the door, and sure enough, he had a new face.

His face changed slightly, he glanced at Liana nervously, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He rammed the Warhammers. ”

As soon as he heard the word Warhammer, Charles thought of the tall and tall Triste in his mind:

"Is that the young viscount?"

Liana shook her head, her expression becoming more and more unhappy: "It's his personal guard." ”

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt hungry again, and while walking in the direction of the cafeteria, he looked at Liana's angry face and said curiously:

"Jim just offended a guard, isn't it worth your wrath?"

Liana followed two steps, walked beside him, and explained, "The guards are indeed trivial, but he has defaced the Warhammer family insignia, and it will be difficult to do. ”

In the Orton Empire, a family with a title must be entitled to a family crest.

Except for the hereditary five founding families such as Warhammer and Flying Fish, only a small number of royal branches like Earl Bailu have titles.

The royal family with a title, the title inheritance is different from the founding five families, it is not hereditary, only the same as the ordinary title, the descendants will be downgraded by one level, and when the descendants no longer have the title, the title will be gone.

The existing titled families in the empire are less than a palm, and the glory represented by the family emblem can be imagined.

Charles had never eaten pork, and he had seen pigs run, so he naturally knew the weight of the Warhammer family crest, so he quickly pricked up his ears and inquired carefully.

It turned out that Jim had changed shifts at noon to eat, and when he passed the stable, Trist's guard was about to leave the camp and return to the city, and Jim somehow startled the guard's horse.

The horse was startled, and the guards were thrown off their horses, and although the man was fine, the Warhammer family crest he was wearing fell into the dirt.

Where is there a clean place in front of the stable, there is horse manure everywhere, and no matter how diligent the horse keeper shovels, it is also a place of mud and dung, which is difficult to distinguish.

For this crime of defacing the family crest, not to mention commoners, even ordinary nobles can't afford it.

With the power of the Warhammer family, it was easy to kill the Jim family, and even if the division was famous, there was no need to spread the notoriety of bullying the common people.

"Where's it that Trist heard that you were interested in taking Jim as a retainer, and was so angry that he threatened to fight you in a duel. ”

"Oh... They were coming for me. Charles suddenly realized, where is Jim offending people, obviously he is annoying.

But Liana didn't come to ask Charles to come forward, she just listened to her straight face:

"Charles, I asked Jim, he knows that you didn't mean to accept him as a retainer, this time, just to tell you, if you have no opinion, then Jim will work in my Recarian family in the future. ”

Liana was born noble, although she was not the first echelon of nobles like the founding five families, but the Recarian family was also an aristocratic family that had prospered for more than a hundred years.

Liana is the eldest daughter of the lineage, although she does not inherit the position of the head of the family, but she has been running inside and outside the walls for more than ten years, and her credit is not small, and she has long been a first-class viscount.

Why was she angry about this incident, in addition to the fact that Trist took the opportunity to pick the truth was too obvious, more or less, it was also because Trist didn't take her, the orthodox head of the Recarian family, in his eyes at all.

In addition, Jim was a veteran of her service, if it weren't for the talent of the Magic Praetorian Guard, with Jim's extraordinary strength, he could be the captain of a hundred-man team in any ordinary legion.

Such a talent, the family is also innocent, and he is still competent to serve the family, not to mention serving as the internal guard of the clan, and helping to take care of some stores.

In her opinion, there was no need for Charles to take any risks in order to meet an ordinary soldier for a month.

Trist's goal is to defeat Charles in public, the two are of the same age, and they are both talented in the steel element, if Charles is really defeated...

Thinking of this, she glanced at Charles with some concern, who knows, but there was no trace of embarrassment on Charles's face.

I heard him reply nonchalantly:

"No, Jim is a nice man, I like it very much, and I need a down-to-earth person like him at home. ”

Liana was a little surprised, and worried that Charles was young and vigorous, so she was impulsive, and hurriedly persuaded: "Have you thought about it clearly? This is a duel, if you lose..."

"I'm not going to lose. ”

Charles's slender eyebrows raised slightly, turned his head with a smile, and looked at Liana with burning eyes:

"Besides, if Trist really wants to find fault, this time it's Jim, I can leave it alone, but what if it's someone closer to me next time?"

"You can see it. Liana looked at Charles's calm smile, nodded with relief, and subconsciously glanced at the piercing silver belt.

Although she hadn't directly examined the strength of this little eagle, she had weighed this silver belt last time, and now she was walking in front like no one, and she felt a little bottom.

"How's Jim doing now?"

Seeing that Liana was no longer insisting, Charles asked about Jim instead.

Liana was a little worried: "He is not very emotionally stable, I gave him a few days off and rested for a while." ”

Charles thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go to dinner first, if you meet Jim, help me with a message." ”

"Okay, you say. ”

Charles grinned: "Please come to duty as usual tomorrow, and say that I have something to say to him." ”

It's been most of the day since the incident, and Jim has been in his barracks.

Jim knew he was in trouble, he was a real civilian, both before the beast tide broke out and after the siege of the Three Counties.

If it hadn't been for the beast tide that destroyed his home, he might have spent his life fishing and hunting on the edge of a small town outside the occupied area.

After joining the army, his horizons gradually broadened, and he saw the prosperity of the royal city and understood the power of the privileged.

Now he is almost desperate, his family of three, in front of a behemoth like the Warhammer family, there is no reason to be spared.

But at this moment, Liana brought a message from Charles.

When he received the message, his mood was very complicated, as if he was in the middle of a mire, and someone handed him a life-saving rope.

But the rope could well pull the adult into the mire.

After a whole night of anxiety, Jim stood at the gate of the Dome school before dawn the next day.

Because Charles's daily cultivation time is getting longer and longer, in order to catch up with the evening dinner in the cafeteria, he can only eat breakfast early and rush to the Dome campus.

"Yo, Jim, it's so early. ”

Jim saw Charles coming from afar, and although he had mixed feelings, he still didn't forget to open the door for Charles as usual.

"Less... Adult early. ”

Charles walked over and patted Jim on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Let's call me young master, I listen to it." ”

"But... But I—I'm not worth it—" Jim felt the powerful palm on his shoulder, his eyes blurring a little.

When Charles saw Jim's appearance, he knew that he was worried about affecting himself, his heart warmed, and he said softly: "It's my business whether it's worth it or not, you just have to tell me, this young master, are you willing to shout." ”

"I ......" Jim nodded vigorously, bowed and bowed, before raising his head and solemnly shouting, "Young Master!"

"Hah, that's just like words. Charles chuckled happily, reached into his arms, took out a steel feather, and handed it to Jim.

This feather is an improvised work of Mebis, one size larger than the average bird's feather, and its whole body is made of steel elements, so lifelike that it is plucked from a steel eagle.

Charles didn't have any special tokens around him, and he discussed with Mebis yesterday that he had the name of a young eagle, and this feather could be regarded as a credential.

The feather was heavy in his hands, and Jim held it in both hands, not knowing what to say for a while.

Charles looked at the morning light on the horizon, turned to Jim and said, "I heard that you can be discharged from the army in two months, and when the time comes, take this feather to the Griffin house in the south of the city, and my mother will arrange it." ”

Jim looked at the back of Charles walking towards the Dome, carefully put the steel feather into his arms, straightened his waist, and replied loudly:

"Okay, young master!"
