Chapter Twenty-Six: Guard Mike
Hurried over, didn't seem to do anything, just took a closer look, and then came back......
The guards saw it in their eyes, surprised, but also a little nervous, for fear that something would go wrong and they would be blamed again.
Especially those maids, they watched intently, nervously, until Yun Lang and Vivian walked back with relaxed expressions, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really no wonder that they have appeared one after another among their sisters, and everyone is in danger, for fear of being implicated, and it is reasonable for them to be nervous.
And fortunately, things are not going in a worse direction......
Returning to the big stone covered with loot again, Yun Lang first said to Vivian: "You can choose these things at will, and take them directly if you like!"
This time, he didn't lower his voice, he said it to Vivien, and he deliberately let everyone hear.
After Vivien was stunned, she was overjoyed, smiling like a flower, but she was a little embarrassed.
The others were even more dumbfounded, it was hard to imagine how much Vivien had been favored! You know, among these trophies, a few random pieces are a lot of wealth!
At the urging of Yun Lang, Vivian picked up the sapphire ring with some restraint and explained in a low voice: "This magic ring can enhance the strength of the wearer, and I implore the master to reward it to Vivian!"
"Yes!" Although Yun Lang was a little curious about the function of the ring, he would not block it openly, so he could borrow it in private to study.
Then he asked, "What about the others?"
"That's enough!" Vivien refused without hesitation.
In fact, the ornaments left behind by the water magician, if not magical creations, were extremely beautiful jewelry, and she could have picked one or two and kept them for herself.
She is also a young girl, how could she not like exquisite jewelry, but those things are unnecessary for her, so she deliberately ignored them!
She knows very well: the owner's trust in her should be limited and must not be wasted in inconsequential places!
Seeing this, Yunlang seemed to have an understanding, so he didn't say anything.
As far as he was concerned, even if Vivien didn't want it now, it would be handed over to her for safekeeping later, and it wouldn't be too late for her to take it if she changed her mind.
After putting on the sapphire ring, Vivien was left alone to adjust to the different sensations that come with her increased strength.
And Yun Lang asked her again: "Vivian, I heard you say just now that a guard is very brave, and he actually killed several attackers one after another, he ...... Is it here?"
Vivien turned around and looked at it before she replied respectfully, "Master, he's right here!"
As she spoke, she pointed to a middle-aged guard crowded in the crowd and shouted, "Come out and allow you to tell the master about your achievements in person!"
The middle-aged guard, a little surprised and a little nervous, walked forward quickly under the envious gaze of everyone, and after giving a salute, bowed down and replied, "My lord, I killed a total of 6 attackers just now!"
He looked to be in his thirties, with tough features and well-defined lines. Thinning stubble, messy short gray hair, looking a little listless and unmotivated.
"What's your name?" Yun Lang didn't know what to call it, so he asked first.
It's no wonder that he hasn't been around for a long time, and there are more important things to deal with urgently, so how can he have the leisure to know this. What's more, in this hierarchical world, the identities of the two people are very different, and they generally don't care what his name is.
"Ah...... My name is Mike!" He was a little surprised, but also a little excited.
The lord asked for his name, indicating that he was valued in some respect, which was undoubtedly a good sign.
"Hehe, how old are you? What did you do before...... It's best to tell us more about your past!" Yun Lang asked again.
The middle-aged escort named Mike, who vaguely felt that his good luck was coming, was forced to be excited, and replied as calmly as possible: "I am twenty-six years old this year, and before I was recruited to be your escort, I was an adventurer, and I belonged to the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group. ”
He peeked at Yun Lang, and realized that he didn't say enough details, so he continued: "I was born in the town of Haven Valley in Nagrand, and I became a warrior apprentice at the age of eight, practicing warrior skills, and at the age of nineteen, I entered the second order and officially became a qualified warrior. At the age of twenty-one, because of ....... Because the woman she loves is married to someone else, she leaves Havendale Town. At the age of twenty-two, I was fortunate enough to join the Wind Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and I have experienced many adventures with my companions, until today!"
After hearing this, Yun Lang nodded with satisfaction: "Second-order warrior....... It's also very good. You did a great job just now, and I decided to give you a special reward!"
He pointed to the loot in one place and signaled, "You can also choose any item from these loot as my special reward for you!"
"Ah......h
Vivien was also stunned, so she reminded in a low voice: "Master, isn't it better to limit a range!"
Yun Lang stopped with a smile and explained: "For loyal warriors, no matter how big the reward is, it is acceptable!"
After Vivien stopped stopping him, Mike couldn't hold back his excitement anymore and thanked him repeatedly.
Mike looked at the loot carefully, and finally chose a pair of jet-black leather bracers, which were derived from the armor of the weapon warrior who wielded the greatsword.
The bracers were also magical creations, and were part of the armor, and Vivien didn't like them much and didn't pay much attention to them.
"My lord, I beg you to reward me!" he hesitated before pleading with apprehension.
Vivien was a little displeased, and reminded coldly, "You're too greedy! The master just let you pick an item, not a pair!"
After Mike heard this, he didn't dare to make clever excuses, and after a little comparison, he chose to wear the bracer on his right hand, and gently put the bracer on his left hand back into the distance.
"My lord, I choose it!" he pleaded again with his hands on his bracers.
"From now on, it's yours!" Yun Lang agreed without hesitation.
When Mike wanted to turn around and go back, he hurriedly called out to him: "Mike, don't go back in a hurry!"
"Your Excellency, ...... Something?" Mike was a little stunned, and a little nervous.
It is not uncommon for many nobles to find a name to take it back after rewarding them......
"Mike, I'm going to form my own guard, you...... Are you willing to give up your wonderful adventurous life and choose to serve me for a long time, is it to join my guard?" Yun Lang solemnly extended an invitation in an extremely serious tone.
With so much foreplay, it's time to see how it works!
Vivien was also looking at Mike with scrutiny, not feeling threatened. Instead, he judged to himself whether Mike's long-term experience was worthy of such a cautious solicitation from the master!
Mike was immediately moved, he never expected that he would be invited by a lord, it was like a dream......
Since he became an adventurer, he has no fixed place, eats and sleeps in the open, and wanders on the edge of life and death all year round, in exchange for only food and clothing. People like him don't know when they're going to die in some remote corner.
In the past, he just dreamed, and he didn't dare to dream of the current scene......
The guards of the guards, unlike ordinary guards, are considered cronies of the nobility. Not only is the treatment better, but there is also room for promotion, and even with the improvement of the noble status, the boat will continue to rise. If some of the lucky ones are given extra favor and take charge of the guard, they may even become a low-ranking nobleman and receive the title of knight......
As an adventurer, this is a dream of good luck!
"Poof", Mike knelt down on one knee heavily, and said nervously and excitedly: "My lord, Mike is willing to serve you, please be able to join your guard!"
Yunlang exhaled lightly and said flatly: "Welcome to join...... Get up!"
His long-term preparation was not in vain!
