"Master Turner doesn't have to be modest, everyone knows that you are a close confidant of Bishop Garcia, and Bishop Garcia is a big celebrity in front of the Lord today, with the support of Bishop Garcia, I believe that your Excellency will definitely rise step by step, maybe you will soon become the captain of the legion. ”

Captain Lawson's tone was full of envy, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to become a confidant of a cardinal leader, and he is a cardinal who holds real power.

"Now it's different from the past, I used to work in the Church, with the protection of the big tree of Bishop Garcia, and naturally rose to prominence, but now I have become a Templar, and although Bishop Garcia is above 10,000 people in the Papal State, his influence on the Templars is still very small. ”

"Master Turner is so humble, Bishop Garcia is now the cardinal of the ruling Papal States, and anyone who wants to give him some face, including the Knights Templar, always depends on the Holy See's appropriations for food. ”

Lawson's words have obviously touted Garcia's power, Garcia has an influence on the Templar Order by virtue of his relationship with Des Hepburn and his prestige in the Holy See, but if he wants to intervene in the distribution of power within the Templar Order, it is wishful thinking, even if Emperor Hepburn adjusts the power of the Templar Order, he must consider the opinion of the almost invincible paladin behind him, but Lawson doesn't care about this, what he cares about is that these words reach the ears of Bishop Garcia, and they are not harmful to himself.

"I heard that you and Captain Dejero are also on the Templar Order's new list of recruits this time, so maybe we will be close comrades in arms in the future. ”

Although Lawson's compliment was a bit exaggerated, Turner listened to it very usefully, and the tone of the conversation with Lawson was a little closer.

"Yes, Master Turner, I was very excited when I first got the news, but then I heard that this was an expansion of the Templars, and many people had the same opportunity. ”

"Lawson, you don't know one thing. It is true that the Templars recruited a large number of people this time, but the Lord's requirements for the strength of the Templars have not changed. ”

"The requirements haven't changed? I don't believe that so many people have the opportunity to become Great Swordsmen. ”

The Holy See's strength requirements for the Templars are the Great Swordsman or the senior swordsman who has the strength to become the Great Swordsman, according to this standard, there are dozens of Templars in total, and the annual selection and recruitment is a few people, but this time more than 30 people were recruited at once, and most of them were high-level swordsmen, Lawson and his colleague Dejero were also on the list, he was confident that he could become a Great Swordsman, but he did not believe that everyone could become a Great Swordsman, so there was this question.

"Lawson, I'll tell you a secret, but remember not to tell anyone else. ”

Turner drove his horse closer to Lawson, then tilted his head and put his mouth in Lawson's ear, and whispered:

"The Lord came back from the Elven Forest and got some spring of life, with the help of these springs, some people who didn't have the opportunity to become a great swordsman also have a chance this time, so there will be this expansion. ”

"I see, thank you, Master Turner. ”

Lawson's face showed a look of sudden realization, and his expression became ecstatic, if it was really as Turner said, with the help of the Fountain of Life he would be more sure of advancing to the Great Swordsman, and the opportunity to use the Fountain of Life was even more tempting than the name Templar itself.

"Lawson, how far is this from Lua City?"

Perhaps realizing that he was talking too much, Turner changed the subject in time.

"About two hundred miles, and in two days we will be in Lua City. Now the journey to Lua City is very safe, and Master Turner doesn't have to worry. ”

Lawson suppressed the joy in his heart and replied.

"You mean it wasn't safe before?"

"Don't hide it from Master Turner, there used to be horse bandits in the east of Higg, and I don't know when the short-sighted horse bandits came here to create some trouble for the merchants along the way. ”

"Oh, so there won't be any more bandits now, right?"

Turner asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"The horse bandits were eliminated last year and have not been seen again for more than a year. But don't worry, this is our territory, even if the original Bols horse bandits are still there and appear here, I promise to wipe them all out today. ”

Thinking that he was about to become a great swordsman, Lawson said proudly.

"Huh?"

Just as Lawson was patting his chest and assuring, suddenly the cavalry team in front of the two stopped for some reason.

"What's going on up ahead?"

Across the cavalry, Lawson shouted to his men in front of him.

"Returning to my lordship, several masked knights appeared in front of me and blocked the way. ”

"What!?"

Lawson was shocked, he was not afraid that someone would rob the road, but here he had just boasted to Turner that the road was very safe, but before the words fell, the robber came out, which was obviously a slap in the face.

"Captain Lawson, what's going on? Didn't you say the road was safe?"

Sure enough, Turner's face sank when he heard this, and he asked in a mocking tone.

"I guess it's a few thieves, don't worry, I'll send them away. ”

Lawson did not dare to slack off, and as soon as he lifted the reins, he hurried his horse to the front of the queue to see what was going on.

When Lawson reached the front of the queue, he looked at it and saw that in the middle of the road ahead, a group of horseback riders were blocking the way. Without knowing the intentions of the people who stood in the way, out of caution, the knight at the front stopped when he was more than a hundred paces away from them.

"Who is in the way? Do you know whose team you are stopping? You have committed a capital crime for your actions. ”

The knights who stood in the way covered their faces with black scarves so that it was impossible to see their faces or their purpose, but the swords they wore with them could be inferred that they were not benevolent, so Lawson sent one of his guards to drive his horse forward and shouted loudly.

"Second Commander, they seem to say that you have committed a capital crime. ”

When a masked man heard the guard's threatening words, he didn't show any fear, but laughed out loud, and then said to a black-robed man beside him.

"Haha! Lao Tzu has committed no less than a few hundred capital crimes, and it doesn't matter if there are any more. Let them happily leave the escorted carriage, Lao Tzu, I am in a good mood to spare their lives today, let them run for their lives. ”

The black-robed man said to the people around him in an arrogant tone.

"Our second commander said that as long as you hand over the carriage of the escort, he will surround you to death. ”

In fact, without the masked man's knight speed, Lawson and they had already heard the words of the black-robed man.

"Who the hell are you?"

Hearing the black-robed man claiming to be the second commander, Lawson's pupils shrank violently.
