At the same time, the current chief instructor of Windsor Manor, Alexander Knight, gathered more than 200 orphans over the age of ten and began the lecture mode on the large meadow.

The usually gentle-faced, handsome Alexander Knight was the children's favorite instructor.

In his lessons, not only are the tasks light, but Mr. Knight sometimes finds time to teach them some riding and swordsmanship, which is very popular with the children.

In fact, the Knight Alexander, who has always been single, likes children very much, perhaps because he has no heirs, Mr. Knight treats these children as his own and cares about them very much.

These children not only satisfy his deep desires, but also carry his inheritance of his swordsmanship.

To be honest, if it weren't for the royal family's refusal to pass on the title to people who are not related by blood, he would have adopted many righteous sons a long time ago.

Looking at the group of children in front of him, Mr. Knight couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, and he thought of Henry VIII.

He was as old as these children, and when he saw Henry VIII hunting, he was completely fascinated by this strong and mighty king.

So, in order to become one of the knights of the royal family, at the age of fifteen, he joined the expedition in 1522 and followed Henry VIII to Calais, the only possession of England on French territory.

As in the previous episode, he saved Henry VIII's life, and then became his bodyguard, and after the defeat of the attack on France, he accompanied Henry VIII back to London.

After some indescribable scenes, his relationship with Henry VIII was further sublimated.

Coming back to his senses, looking at the noisy children in front of him, and sweeping away the depressed mood in his heart, Knight Alexander moistened his throat and raised his voice and said:

"You bunnies, what are you arguing about, is the queue lined up?"

Seeing that Mr. Knight, who was usually mild-mannered, lost his temper, the children all looked a little afraid, and after a minute or so of panic, they finally lined up.

The knight Alexander, dressed in white, nodded with satisfaction, and pulled the wavy golden hair back from his forehead, and Mr. Knight made a rare face, revealing a serious expression.

Looking at the serious face of the Alexander knight, even if Jack likes girls, he still can't help but want to praise in his heart: It's really beautiful

Long wavy golden hair, long smooth neck, delicate facial features, slender figure, plus a white cape, black cowhide boots, and a slender sword in his right hand.

If you ignore the somewhat protruding Adam's apple, it is a heroic and charming female knight.

"Ahem! It's been two years since you came here, and two years is not a long time, and it is not a short time! ”

Listening to the ethereal voice of Knight Alexander, the more than two hundred teenagers and girls consciously quieted down, pricking up their ears to listen carefully to what the instructor who had been with them for almost two years was about to say.

"The youngest of you is now twelve years old, and the oldest is sixteen!"

"Every day you have to train during the day, and you have to learn English writing with the teacher at night!"

"In this way, you have gone from the original poor, hungry and well-fed life to this worry-free Windsor Castle!"

Looking at some of the teenagers and girls who were brought to tears by what he said, Knight Alexander couldn't help but pause for a moment to give them some buffer time.

"Here, you don't have to worry about how to find food tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about becoming a corpse in the hands of the corpse collector the next day!"

"And at the cost of five hundred pounds of rye a day, and as much as two hundred pounds of gold coins a month!"

"And these are all paid by our King Edward, and what do we need to give?"

Looking at the immature faces in front of him, Mr. Knight asked loudly.

"Loyalty—loyalty—"

"What else do you have to give?"

"Only loyalty and life can repay the kindness of His Majesty!"

Jack, who was standing in the first row, replied hoarsely, and like the rest of his companions, he only remembered what the instructors had been saying.

He didn't think much about it, he just wanted to let the excitement in his heart come into play, so he used all his strength to shout.

There were people like Jack, and the two hundred or so people blushed and widened their eyes, exuding an air of fanaticism.

"Excellent! I'm glad you remember who brought you these wonderful days! ”

"So, now is the time to repay His Majesty."

Hearing these children, who had worked so hard to train, say this, the handsome face of the Alexander knight couldn't help but smile.

"Because there has been some unpeace in the area recently, His Majesty the King is preparing to recruit more guards, this is not only your chance to repay Your Majesty!"

Glancing at Jack, who was listening to him carefully in the front row, Knight Alexander couldn't help but raise his voice.

"This is also an opportunity to change your fate, as long as you become a royal guard, you can not only get a good salary once a month."

"And from now on, you are no longer the lowly commoners, you have a decent status!"

"So you must try to pass all the tests, this is your best chance!"

After saying this, the faces of everyone in the audience turned even redder, and everyone no longer cared about any discipline, and chattered.

Some people even think of their future life with their eyebrows, and they only know to smile silly.

However, these are just expressions of the boys' joy, and dozens of girls have solemn expressions and worries in their eyes.

"My lord! Excuse me, is there a chance that we girls can become guards? ”

"Adults, we have never left behind in our usual training, and there are even some places where we do better than those boys!"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him asking herself in a timid voice, Knight Alexander admired her courage.

He knew this little girl, the most prestigious of the dozens of girls, whose name seemed to be Emma.

As the eldest sister, she not only has outstanding appearance, but also ranks among the best in various trainings, and what is even more powerful is her fighting kung fu.

The girl lived up to her five-foot height and became famous by beating the boy who bullied the girl to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

"Emma! Yes, His Majesty has specifically stated that as long as you pass the examination, you can become a member of the guards! ”

He liked this handsome girl very much, so his words were full of doting.

"That's great!" When the girls heard the news, they happily hugged each other ...... "All right! Get started now! Knight Alexander shouted, reminding the girls who were huddled together.

"First of all, let's compare the stamina ......"

……………… The dividing line of all evil..................

The Duchy of Lancaster, the Diocese of Anson, the Cathedral of Anson, more than 500 people came to the church with their families.

Here it is important to clarify the difference between a parish and a manor or or village.

A diocese is a grassroots institution of the Church that is managed, propagated and charitized by a priest; The village is a geographical concept, the basic settlement where the peasants live; The manor was the center of domain management with the nobles or squires as the core.

A parish can consist of several villages, and a village sometimes does not belong to a parish.

Similarly, a village may belong to two or more estates, and a lord's estate may be scattered across several villages.

So, in the whole place, the villagers were firmly controlled by the church and the manor, the church controlled the mind, and the manor controlled the person, which was the main reason why there were no large-scale and influential peasant revolts in the Middle Ages.

However, the Reformation in England made it impossible for churches to collect their tithes and other miscellaneous taxes, and could only survive on the barren land that had been forcibly seized by the nobles and gentlemen, as well as donations from believers.

Moreover, the power to appoint and dismiss local bishops was entirely in the hands of the king, the magistrate, and others.

Therefore, Bishop Anson was so stammering when he saw Sir John, after all, Sir John had great power to recommend the appointment and dismissal of the Bishop of Lancaster, and he could not tolerate him.

Seeing that the villagers who had been doing all morning were preparing to go back, Baron Smith on the side quickly blocked the way and motioned to Bishop Anson with his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment today, His Majesty has sent Sir John, the Minister of Royal Affairs, who has something to announce, and you should listen carefully!"

After presiding over the service, Bishop Anson comforted the somewhat restless villagers and then explained why.

Hearing the explanation of the bishop who presided over the service, the villagers who were a little flustered suddenly felt a lot more relieved, but the voice of the voice became even more noisy, and everyone was curious.

"So! My Excellency, I wonder what His Majesty the King in London wants us to do? ”

Looking at the brightly dressed middle-aged man in front of him, Sir John knew that this was a small gentleman in the place, and the main person in charge of the place was located.

"The main thing is that His Majesty the King is merciful and will select royal guards in the territory, and this time whether it is a free man, a gentleman or a knight and nobleman can be selected!"

"So between the ages of sixteen and twenty, after seven days, you can send your nephews and nephews here for screening!"

"Outdated! Everyone can go back! With that, Sir John stepped down, and Baron Smith took away the knights who stood in his way.

The lively crowd also left the church with a burst of surprise and laughter.

"My Lord Sir, don't you have to go to another parish?" Baron Smith glanced at Sir John and asked in a puzzled tone.

"Don't worry, my lordship, this is the largest church and parish in the dukedom, and in a few days, the news of our recruitment will reach all parts of the dukedom!"

"Let's think about where to arrange the selection, it's not easy to arrange so many people!"

Sir John smiled, shook his head, and explained, leaving Baron Smith with a serious face.
