Chapter 391: Accept John's (Those who want to crook face the wall!) ）

When Lin An was invited by James's attendants, he didn't know what had happened.

The squire who was sent didn't say anything, only conveyed the invitation of Master James, and Lin An could only hide his doubts and follow the other party to a small "drill" outside the camp.

There were more than a hundred people standing there, and because of their different clothes and appearances, although they were quite orderly, they looked no different from random "disorderly" standing.

When he walked in, Lin An was even more sure that this was not some military training or gathering, because this group of people had gathered together with each other in a close manner, and they exchanged words with each other from time to time, and they didn't seem to care about the atmosphere of discipline and the gaze of others.

This made Lin An feel very strange, the army is the place with the strictest discipline requirements, in the barracks, Lin An has never seen such a way of arranging the formation of a phalanx without a phalanx and a queue without a queue.

Mage James, who had sent her attendants to find her, was standing in the crowd, surrounded by people talking and laughing, he was wearing a bright red "colored" robe, as eye-catching as a flame, and Lin An had seen him from afar.

But Master James didn't seem to notice Lin An immediately, but an unexpected and surprised cry came from the crowd:

"Oh, Master Lin, it's you! What about Master Elvis? "Mage Krum, with slightly messy hair and a cheerful face, was waving to her in the crowd, surrounded by the slightly tired faces of Mage Dennis and his own soldiers, led by John.

"Sidney hasn't come here yet!" Lin An was surprised to see these acquaintances here, "Why are you here?" ”

"We are the representatives of meritorious people with outstanding military merits selected from various armies, and we will return to the imperial capital to receive and reward His Majesty, and we have specially come to the Chinese army to merge and go back together, and we will leave tomorrow-"

Mage Krum, whose chin was "exposed" with light stubble, was also surprised, his thick black eyebrows raised, and his white teeth were exposed.

"Don't you know about this, Master Linn? I thought that those of us who survived the Battle of Ice Valley were all chosen, and you and Master Elvis, as the ones who contributed the most, should also be among them. ”

Lin An suddenly realized that the representative of the meritorious person mentioned by Krum would probably also be in the team that would leave with her tomorrow, and when she didn't know it, she had also become one of the meritorious people who had been honored and received in the imperial capital!

Now that I think about it, it was also her own negligence:

Since she had previously asked for the honor of the meritorious service in advance, she had to go through the formal procedure, and if it did not attract criticism, only this way was the most open, and it was a real honor and meritorious service, and the others couldn't ask for it-I didn't see Master Lien Klum, and when she talked about it, she also looked like her eyebrows were flying, and even her tiredness had been reduced a lot.

Therefore, even if Lin An went to question Rheinthal now, there was no way to deal with him at all, after all, after she made the request, she ignored the follow-up of Rheinthal to realize that request.

The ice field war was protracted and intense, and from time to time a group of meritorious people were sent back to receive medals and awards, and to be received by the Emperor Alabham the Great, which was a good way to boost the morale of the front-line troops and boost the morale of the army.

There is no doubt that Lin An's return journey must be absolutely safe, otherwise so many meritorious people who are about to be received will be attacked halfway, and the morale-boosting award will become a big joke!

Lin An realized that he had fallen into Rheinthal's calculations again, and the decision to choose a return trip by land was probably foreseen by him.

Strictly speaking, this can't be said to be unguarded, it can only be said that it is caused by the asymmetry of information - no matter how strong the background of the Rheinthal is, it will not go far enough to say that His Majesty the Emperor will carry out this reward for her in a short period of time, this is probably planned for a long time, but Lin An has no information channel, so he lost the first step.

Lin An was slightly annoyed at first, and for a while she had a bad impression of the person who instructed Rheinthal behind her back, and then she smiled to herself:

There are more killings, and the attack "sex" is becoming stronger unconsciously when dealing with things - at least before entering the ice field, after she encounters a similar situation, I am afraid that she will choose to temporarily forbear, otherwise she will not be lightly manipulated by the people of the mage tower in the first place.

This world is so big, there are countless landscapes, and the power of power is also one of the special scenery, even if he has the upper hand temporarily, Lin An can only regard it as a special experience, there is no need to rack his brains all day and trap himself in the struggle of people's hearts - this is not what mages are good at.

Thinking about it this way, Lin An's realm has widened a little, and he has consciously made progress.

She had a smile on her face, far more real than the social occasion, smiling and greeting this group of comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, and greeting each other.

"It's been a long time, Master Lin, but we've been hearing about you and Master Elvis!"

"Stop blowing! It was rumored that it was 'Purple Rose', and at that time we didn't know that it was Master Lin, and you had a few fights with others in the school arena for who was more real than Master Lin for 'Purple Rose' and Master Lin! ”

"Hey, I didn't win in the end! After beating that kid and playing Laipi, he refused to admit defeat! ”

"Ha, bullying an ordinary soldier, you're embarrassed to say it!"

"What's so embarrassing, how can we say that we have also fought side by side with Master Lin, compared to their guys who were purely saved, or we have a deeper relationship with Master Lin, of course we need to try our best to fight!"

"Does this have anything to do with your bullying?" The net does not skip words.

"Get out!"

……

Several pro-soldiers quarreled and laughed and scolded noisily, which was very lively.

Sidney arrived, and the group shifted their target to greet him, and the people next to him couldn't help but pay attention to them.

However, all those who can gather here will be received by His Majesty, and the future will be bright after that, and they will reach a new peak, which can be said to be a great joy in life, so they do not care about the noise made by this group of people to reminisce about the past, but indulge with a smile, because they are not the only group of people.

People who have a more flexible brain and are sociable have long taken this opportunity to talk to the strangers next to them, after all, they are going to return together to receive medals, no matter how high or low the reward is, it is always beneficial and harmless to develop contacts and relationships among this group of people.

Lin An's gaze shifted to John, who seemed a little silent on the side, this knight's cheeks were a lot thinner, his face was a little pale, and his blonde hair hung down on his forehead looking a little depressed, it seemed that he had suffered a lot from his previous injuries.

"Captain John." Lin An nodded with a smile.

If there was anything that pleased her about Rheinthal's arrangement, it was undoubtedly that he had Johann come to her again - Lin An originally thought that the knight she had finally taken a fancy to was likely to miss out.

"Master Lynn."

The knight, who was as silent and steady as a mountain, nodded slightly, and a rare trace of hesitation flashed in his blue eyes, Lin An saw that he had something to say, so he didn't make a sound, waiting for his words.

"I've seen the old Legionnaire, and he'...... I promise to do my best to help me with this event and get a knight of the Empire. ”

“…… You guys...... Elite representatives, received by His Majesty...... After the return trip...... Hero...... Welcome cheers and flowers......"

At this time, the conversation of the assembly had begun, and the host was none other than Master James, who was standing on the high platform, and the sound of amplification muffled the words behind John, but Lin An had already heard John's words clearly.

The knighthood of the Imperial Reward, whether for life or hereditary, means that John will be independent from the Long-tailed Eagle family, and according to the obligation to bestow the title, the title that John will nominally need to be loyal to from now on will be the Emperor Abraham and the royal family who will reward him with the title.

Of course, with the current highly centralized monarchy of the Merlin Empire, the implementation principle of the feudal vassal system has long been no longer the vassal allegiance system of "my vassals, not my vassals" in the early days of Merlin's founding, but has become a monarchical centralized system of "my vassals' vassals are also my vassals":

This is also the reason why at the beginning of the founding of the country there were independent kingdoms and dukes such as the Meryl Kingdom and the Duchy of Stuart, and later after several generations of Merlin were stable, no matter how many princes and marquis were divided, there were no more independent lords.

As for the emergence of the Principality of Magic, there are special reasons and historical conditions, which are related to the little-known covenant that brought mages to the mainland stage.

Straight to the point.

A knight for life like John, who was once pardoned by the Long-tailed Eagles family, even if he was later awarded the title of independent knighthood of the empire for his military exploits, according to the current rules, he is still generally regarded as a retainer of the Long-tailed Eagles family, but he may have the opportunity to establish an independent noble family, thus changing from a vassal to a vassal family - provided that Lin An did not make that request to John.

James was speaking, and there were many people around, Lin An turned his mind, and the fingers hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, setting up an invisible air barrier between her and John.

She looked ahead, her head unmoved, and whispered, "So, what do you mean?" ”

Captain Williams promised to help John get an independent knighthood, and his intention was already obvious, so Lin An asked John what he meant.

"What my lord means is that whatever I choose, no matter which one I choose, he will not object."

John was also looking ahead, but there was no focus in his eyes, and Lin An stood next to him, and he could clearly perceive his extremely complicated feelings at this time.

What John said was not unexpected by Lin An.

If Captain Williams, because of her fame and potential at this time, had ignored the merits of John's dedicated retainer, and forcibly surrendered it to Lin An regardless of John's will and dignity, then the Long-tailed Green Eagle family would have fallen and ruined long ago, and was not worthy of John's allegiance.

But it is precisely because the Long-tailed Green Eagle family respects John's wishes and generously rewards John's merits that John will willingly make long-term plans for the Long-tailed Green Eagle - anyone can see that with Lin An's potential, John's switch to Lin An is beneficial and harmless, and it can also help Williams repay some of the favors owed.

John was silent for a moment, "I, have already taken the letter of allegiance from Captain Williams...... Got it back. ”

"Ginger is old and spicy after all!"

Although he had foreseen it, Lin An couldn't help but sigh in his native language.

Then she did not explain anything to John, nor did she show her pride, but said calmly:

"I have followers, there are no special rituals and requirements, the reason why I like you is because of your qualities, I hope you can be as loyal to me as the long-tailed green eagle."

John didn't expect Lin An to formally accept him on such an occasion, and then it occurred to him that to this Excellency, he was her follower, not a retainer in the worldly sense.

"What your staff points at is where my sword goes!"

Despite the accident, John still did not hesitate, and swore an oath in a low but firm voice.
