Murong Changjian said: "Those people at the bottom, they will work hard to survive, they will work hard!" ”

Murong Chanjuan said: "These people are working hard, but they are being played by us between applause, and it is really pitiful to buy these people." ”

Murong Changjian said: "Those people's lives have always been like this, and they may continue like this in the future." ”

Actually, that Murong Changjian miscalculated, that Murong Chanjuan is certainly very smart, but her cleverness is just a little cleverness, that Murong Chanjuan can hide in that underground cave.

However, it is impossible for those people of the Peony family to hide here with Murong Chanjuan, they can only find ways to fend for themselves here.

Those people of the Peony family, they are all hiding in this underground cave.

These people want to be rich in the future, but they have to accept poverty for a while.

These people know that their lives are not easy, but they don't want to live in their pockets.

In that peony manor, there are a lot of fat chickens and goats.

There are many lambs in the flock, and if the lamb is slaughtered, the meat will be so delicious that people will swallow their tongues.

The decrease in the lambs in that peony manor made that Murong Yuan feel really a headache.

Therefore, Murong Yuan ordered his subordinates to ask Murong Zhou to come out.

When this Murong Zhou arrived at this time, he seemed very arrogant.

Murong Zhou said to Murong Yuan, "You people, why do you want to go against me? Now, you remember me. ”

Murong Yuan said: "That Seven Star Gang, or that Linhe Gang can also help us solve this matter, but I think it's best for you to come out of the matter of our Peony Family." ”

Murong Zhou said, "Okay, then we'll help you complete a task." ”

After knowing that the fat chickens and lambs of the Peony Manor were always missing, that Murong Zhou began to investigate those who might steal the Peony Manor.

The trembling of his right hand was transmitted to his shoulder, and feelings of remorse, sadness, and disgust emanated from the boy's body.

"You haven't done anything wrong—" Hameron patted the boy on the shoulder, and looked at the young man's sincere expression, and comforted, "On the contrary, you have done a good job, and your courage and courage are commendable." But it is even more valuable for you to dare to reflect and repent of your previous actions in hindsight. I even see in you mercy and kindness, two very precious qualities. Can you understand, teenager? ”

The boy looked up as if he didn't understand, and his red eyes reflected only fire, blood, and patches of corpses.

Hameron looked at the boy in front of him, and inadvertently remembered what he looked like when he was young, and he realized at this time that the boy had the shadow of his youth.

"Murong Longsword Lambert!" Hamelon looked at the boy and said in a very formal tone, "Would you like to join the army and become my squire knight?" ”

"Huh?"

Not only Murong Changjian was stunned, but even the knights behind Hameron were also stunned.

Knight, a kind of title. It is a symbol of strength and status. Although the knight is not an aristocrat, he can at least be regarded as stepping into the threshold of nobility with half a foot. Of course, if you want to become a knight, in addition to your own cultivation to reach a certain standard, you also have to participate in the knight assessment. If you want to pass the knight assessment, you must first take a written test about chivalry, which is to make a reasonable explanation of the eight virtues of humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, spirit, honesty, and justice, and then the examiner will mark the paper, and only if the score reaches a certain standard can you participate in the next round of actual combat testing.

The actual test is generally scheduled 5 days after the written test. During these 5 days, all those who take the exam will be supervised by all knights of the Knights' Guild, and if they violate any of the virtues of chivalry, they will be disqualified from this year's audit.

Therefore, for an ordinary person like Murong Changjian, being able to become an attendant of the Divine Imperial Knight not only saves complicated exams, but also gives him a bright opportunity for a bright future.

It's a question that anyone aiming for knights can't refuse.

But the teenager didn't really care.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to make a choice for the future so early, I think I still have a long way to go on the path of swordsman cultivation." ”

"That's—" Hameron touched his chin, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to refuse his kindness so easily, and even the knights not far behind him showed a look of puzzlement and regret.

"Okay, whatever you want. But at least come back to the city with me, and I'm going to reward you publicly. ”

"No, such a trifle—" The boy shook his head resolutely, and this time he didn't even have much time to think, and said, "I still have a long way to go, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Knowing that it is my favor, and refusing so easily, in terms of etiquette, it seems that your teacher really teaches well...... And your stubbornness, is it also taught by the teacher? Hameron touched the bridge of his nose and joked, "If only I had your stubbornness back then." ”

“…… Well? I don't quite understand. ”

"Nothing." Hamelon smiled and said, "By the way, show me your swordsman's manual." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

The boy pulled out a half-used black booklet from his adventurer's backpack and handed it to Hameron.

"Let me see...... Well? E-rank swordsman? Your strength is only E-class? ”

Facing Hameron's questioning, Murong Changjian asked puzzledly, "Yes, yes...... Any questions? ”

- E-class?

Hamelon put a huge question mark in his mind.

- An E-level swordsman has such martial arts skills to deal with the siege of dozens of demon miscellaneous soldiers?

Although he is only a miscellaneous soldier, Murong Longjian's strength assessment in the swordsman's manual is not much stronger than the so-called demon miscellaneous soldiers.

Not only Hamelon had doubts, but even the cavalry not far behind Hamelon were also puzzled:

- Could it be that the current demon miscellaneous soldiers have become so weak? Although the environment and climate of the continent are not suitable for the inhabitants of the demon race, which is another world, this is for the high-level demon race. Demon soldiers who can be summoned with only magic......

- Not true!

Only then did Hamaron notice that today, 50 years later, there should not be any demon miscellaneous soldiers. The only possibility, then, is that it was not long before he was summoned in the near future.

INTERVIEWER It seems that we will need to focus on the investigation after I go back.

And the young man only saw the doubts of Hameron and the others about his strength, and said with a red face: "This is the strength assessment made by the Swordsman Guild, and I also think that the evaluation result is a little weaker, which may be because my sword magic mastery is still relatively low." ”

"Relatively low? Why is that? ”

Hameron, who has not done a strength assessment for more than ten years, has long forgotten the way to test.

"I'm not very good at magic, I'm better at actual combat and the use of swordsmanship."

"Didn't your teacher teach you well?"

"Nope."

"No!?"

Hameron's surprise caused Murong Changjian to doubt his own memories.

"That's pretty much it...... My teacher didn't teach me much about sword magic. ”

- Didn't teach much?

Hameron suddenly raised his curiosity, what kind of swordsmanship teacher can deal with more than ten demon miscellaneous soldiers by himself without teaching students much sword magic?

"And who is your teacher?"

"I don't know who my teacher is...... I only know that his nickname is 'Hippopotamus'. I have always been called 'Hippopotamus Sensei', and I have never seen him clearly in the years he taught me. ”

"That's right...... ＂

Hamelon pondered carefully in his memory, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed that he couldn't find any information about the 'hippopotamus', but he thought that it might be a deliberate concealment of his identity, but finally couldn't help asking: "Is there anything around your teacher that is different from ordinary people?" ”

"Different from ordinary people...... Murong Changjian thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "My teacher is surrounded by a giant wolf who always has saliva all the year round, and the teacher teaches me the art of bowing and archery while teaching me swordsmanship, but I am relatively stupid, and I don't learn the art of bow and arrow very well. ”

- Is it ...... Ranger!?

Such a term suddenly flashed in the minds of all the knights, including Hameron. A lone wanderer with a wolf, mastered the exquisite art of the bow and arrow, and traveled the world without a fixed residence.

- But...... The Ranger taught the Swordsman?

Hamelon couldn't figure out how the 'hippo teacher' was teaching his students.

"Hmm...... Sorry to take the liberty of asking you so much...... Murong Long Sword, the Swordsman Handbook will be returned to you...... Have a great trip. If you want to become a knight one day, come to me at any time, and the door of my army will always be open to you. ”

"Thank you."

Murong Changjian bowed and saluted, "My journey this time will go all the way to the east, and I may return to the south halfway." If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you. ”

Hamelon tore off a marching bag from his horse, threw it to Murong Changjian and said, "There are some bandages and trauma medicine in here, you saved the village this time, and I have nothing to reward you, since you decided to practice alone......"

He groped all over his body, as if he didn't find anything good, and turned back to the people behind him and asked, "Which of you has any items related to sword martial arts and magic cultivation?" ”

"Lord Hameron, I have a copy here."

"Oh, thanks."

Hameron handed the manual to Murong Changjian: "This is probably some martial arts and magic common to swordsmen, you can double it and take a look at it when you have time." ”

"Thank you very much."

Murong Changjian took the manual and bowed again.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, I won't keep it any longer, I wish you a happy trip." He pulled the reins, turned and shouted, "Back to the city!" ”

Murong Changjian looked at the neat army, erected countless yellow smoke and slowly walked away from him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. In fact, he wanted to promise Hameron that becoming a knight was also one of his pursuits. But he couldn't do that, he had more important things to do, and he didn't have a choice.

At noon, Murong Changjian walked alone in the woods. Three days of high-intensity travel made him very tired. He went to a small open area, picked up some dead wood, and lit a small fire with flint and steel. Open the map and lay it flat on the ground, take out the little dry food left in your backpack, and look at the map as you eat. A giant wolf no more than Murong Longsword's sword passed through the rain curtain and appeared in front of him. The giant wolf has smooth blue fur, a huge size, and a muscular posture, which adds a bit of mystery to the white fur at the end of the tail.

The giant wolf ignored the Murong sword sitting in the cave, but took its prey, a small wild boar, and walked around the back of the fire.

Murong Changjian only reacted from surprise at this time and looked behind him.

A man wearing a brown-yellow hat, half of his face covered, and his body wrapped in a gray cloak was sitting not far behind Murong's long sword, and there was also a small fire on the side, on which was a simple metal rack, and two hares were roasting.

The giant wolf put down the little boar in his mouth and sat down beside the gray-cloaked man like a big dog, grinning and sticking out his tongue, and saliva dripping down like small raindrops.

At this time, the man in the gray cloak stood up, and out of nowhere, he found a dagger and a water bladder, and began to disembowel, scrub, and divide the little wild boar.

"Come here."

The gray-cloaked man beckoned to Murong Longjian, who was watching all this, and motioned for him to come over.

“……”

Murong Changjian was suddenly a little at a loss, he looked at the pouring rain outside the cave, and then at the food that had just been seasoned and emitted a seductive fragrance.

"Goo."

Swallowing his saliva, Murong Changjian turned around and walked towards the fire where the man in the gray cloak was.

"Sit down."

The gray-cloaked man waved his hand at Murong Longjian, motioning for him to sit down.

Murong Changjian glanced at the giant wolf on the side and sat down slowly.

The giant wolf didn't pay the slightest attention to the arrival of Murong Longsword, and continued to stare at the hare on the grill and drool.

The man in the gray cloak took out a small, crudely made tin box from behind him, took a roasted hare from the grill, tore off two rabbit legs, and put them in the tin box. The rest of the roast hare was thrown directly into the air above the giant wolf squatting, and the giant wolf raised his head with a "ahhh

"Be careful."

The man in the gray cloak handed the iron box containing two roasted rabbit legs to Murong Changjian.

"Thank you, thank you......"

After the iron box was handed to Murong Changjian, the man in the gray cloak put the dagger on the fire and roasted it, and with extremely skillful techniques, he quickly divided the other hare on the grill into pieces of meat, took out another iron box, and put the rabbit meat in it piece by piece. Next, spread the wild boar meat cut into pieces on the grill and heat it evenly.
