"If you want to recruit soldiers from our elves on a large scale, you must get the consent of the Regent Lotherma. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "But because of your generalissimo Garithers, it is said that Lotherma does not believe you very much. ”

"So, if it's possible. You'd better come with me on a trip to Quel'Thalas. Face him personally and convince him. Only by convincing him will we elves join you on a large scale. So..."

Norris looked at Locke expectantly, "You and I should go on a trip to Quel'Thalas." ”

"This—" Locke hesitated, for it was not in line with the plan.

He had planned to travel to the kingdom of Kurtilas after Norris was gone. Enlist the help of the people there to carry out a massive reconstruction of Lordaeron's navy. If you follow Norris to the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, it will take more than a month to go back and forth at first, not to mention that it may not be possible to do it after you go.

"Can I make it if I go?"

Locke had some difficulties, first of all, this status was not equal. At best, he is a minor warlord, not the de facto leader of Lordaeron. Just like that, whether people give face or not is another matter.

Besides, in what name will you go after you go? Who are you going on behalf of? You say you represent Lordaeron, and other people don't want to be represented. You said that you represented the Crusaders, and Abidis, the great general of the Crusaders, was probably the first to be unwilling.

Just as Locke was in trouble, Norris gently climbed his hand, and Locke turned his head to look, and the latter smiled at her, "Although many of us are not satisfied, you have treated our prince as a criminal. But there are those who think we should follow the old covenant. After all, we have never completely broken our covenant with you humans. ”

"So, come with me."

Looking at Noris's expectant expression, Locke sighed inwardly.

Let's just go. It's good to see what is going on there, and see what it has become. As for recruiting soldiers, let's wait there and see how it goes.

"Alright, when this is the necessary thing here, we'll go to Quel'Thalas."

Hearing Locke say this, the elf girl's excited ears straightened. Locke wanted to strike while the iron was hot and stay here for the night, but he was mercilessly blasted out by his sister, and in the end he had to give up.

In the period that followed, Locke's life once again entered a fast pace. He had to take care of all the things that needed his attention before leaving.

One of the most important events was the establishment of the Preparatory Knights' Academy.

Now the barracks of the garrison of the Knights' training ground have been cleaned up. The stonemasons are also stepping up to build other functional buildings to meet the needs of the Order.

The Order's academy has also officially entered the stage of recruiting cadets, and every day non-commissioned officers and children of nobles who meet the requirements go to the town hall of their respective towns, or look for the commander of the legion to sign up.

Later, after the initial screening, more than 500 people became the first batch of trainees.

As the head of the newly formed Preparatory Knights, Locke was very keen to stand at the door of the academy to welcome the new cadets. This reminded him of the teachers and principals who greeted him at the school gate when he was a student in his previous life. Looking at the respectful and excited faces, Locke's heart was also very happy.

I really didn't expect that I would have to be a principal one day.

On this day, Locke came to the outside of the reserve knights' residence as usual. Today is the last day of the registration deadline for the Preparatory Knights, and the academy course of the Preparatory Knights will officially begin the day after tomorrow.

The instructors who act as the instructors of these probationary paladins are all paladins within the various legions. Truth be told, they all have higher qualifications than Locke. Compared to Locke, a wild road paladin, they all have a complete set of methods for training paladins. All Locke has to do is to solve all kinds of difficulties for them.

When Locke was in a daze, a mother and son came over with large bags and small bags.

Little Taylor hung his head and carried two large packages in his hands. Next to him, his mother was explaining to little Taylor over and over again.

"Once you go in, you must listen to your mentor."

"Be sure to wash your clothes, especially the neckline and sleeves."

"Be sure to pay attention to personal hygiene, it represents your image."

"Hmm..."

Little Taylor reluctantly replied, feeling that he must be too Luthour to do so.

After more than a year of fighting with the Grand Lord Harvey, he accumulated enough merit to become a corporal. This once young boy also became inconsistent with his face.

Now, he can calmly face more than 2 undead soldiers. He no longer shivered when he went to the battlefield like he used to.

Because of his heroic performance on the battlefield, little Taylor also won the affirmation of his comrades-in-arms, who affectionately called him, Tiger Taylor. Little Taylor is proud of this and is often complacent.

However, in the hearts of all parents, their own children will always be children, and so is little Taylor's mother. She always told him over and over again what to do and what not to do.

It's always been like this, much to the annoyance of little Taylor.

He wanted to say to his mom that I had grown up and was about to become a paladin. You don't have to treat me like a kid anymore.

He wanted to say it, but reason told him he couldn't. Taylor knew that his mother had suffered too much for a long time to support him alone, and it would make his mother sad to say so.

As a result, Taylor is looking forward to life at the academy even more. At the very least, this way you can avoid your mother's nagging and live the life you want.

Finally reached the door of the academy, and Taylor hurried to the door, ready to register to enter the academy.

But soon he found Locke standing at the registration office, and little Taylor immediately became excited, and he hurriedly dropped what he was holding, and stood up straight to salute Locke.

"Report to the Captain! Trainee Paladin Taylor reports to you! ”

Locke smiled at him and returned a military salute, "Leave me alone, hurry up and register first." ”

Taylor nodded excitedly, and the officer sitting in the chair next to him asked Taylor to show the admission certificate issued by the High Lord.

Taylor carefully took out a parchment scroll from his inner pocket and handed it to the registered officer.

"Taylor Malte, Corporal of Squadron C, Wing A, Fifth Legion." The officer spoke, looking up at Taylor, who glanced at the photograph on the parchment.

"Building A, Room 308, follow the navigation signs inside the academy, you will find." The officer handed the scroll back to him, "Don't lose this parchment, it will be collected later." ”

Then the officer looked at his timid mother behind him and said, "Your mother can't go in, only you can go in." ”

"Oh, got it, thank you." Taylor bowed to the military merit and walked over to his mother.

Locke nodded his head when he looked at it, not to mention anything else, this sincere attitude towards people can prove that he is a good material for a paladin. Now it's up to the later training and guidance.

But what Locke didn't expect was that Taylor brought his mother over.

"Mom, this is our Harvey Grand Lord. He is also the head of our Knights and the dean of the Preparatory Knights' Academy. ”

Taylor's mother, a typical peasant woman, was so panicked that she didn't dare to look at Locke. His hands were also rubbing unconsciously.

"Thank you, my lord, for your help in rescuing us from the gnoll's sheepfold, feeding and cloning us, and protecting us. Now, Taylor has also become a brave warrior under your teaching, thank you, sir. ”

"It doesn't have to be this ma'am, that's what we should do." Locke smiled and said, "Ma'am, take back all the things you brought to your son." He wouldn't need any of these things. ”

"Huh?!" Mother Taylor looked up at Locke in surprise, and she said with some resignation, "That..."

"You don't have to worry, Eva is responsible for all your son's expenses in the academy. This is true for what is eaten, clothed, and used. Even their change of clothes has a special person to wash them, and all they have to do is to train and study. ”

"That's... All right. Taylor's mother bowed respectfully to Locke, "Thank you, sir, for your generosity, we will remember you for a long time." ”

Then Taylor's mother came to his son, carefully looked at his son's face, and sorted out his clothes, "Mom doesn't ask you to contribute much, I just hope you can be safe, so Mom will rest assured." If you really can't persevere, your mother will still be proud to have a son like you. ”
