June 1730 in the solar calendar Kuruno

Calvin led Lott to the next room, closed the door, and released a holy word that made the door glow with a faint golden light.

"Sit down. Turning his head, Calvin stretched out his hand and invited Lott to sit down.

While the knight was not looking, Lott stared at his armor for a moment, then felt his chair and sat down.

"Are you curious about my armor?" Calvin knew very well, so he took off the gauntlet on his left arm and handed it to Lot, "If you want to see it, take a good look." ”

Seeing that the knight was so generous, and the young man was not polite, he carefully took the armor and looked at it, "What kind of material is this?"

"Mithril. Calvin took a chair and sat across from Lot.

"How can Mithril be black? I've seen Mithril, and I've picked it up, it must be silver. "Thinking of the Mist Knight in the nameless town, Lott compared the armor of the two according to his memories, it should be the same, is there another kind of Mithril?

"It's just plain Mithril, it's just dyed. "Calvin knows what Lott is thinking, he has been asked this kind of question too many times, almost all of them think this way when he sees him for the first time, usually he will fool around with this kind of question, but in the face of Lott he decided to tell the truth, hoping to win the trust of the teenager" I fought in the Holy White Fort a long time ago, during that time there were vampires attacking every day, and many people were sacrificed, I was the leader of the squad, my team encountered a vampire sneak attack while on duty, although they were repelled but my team members sacrificed a lot, my armor was stained with blood in that battle, and when I woke up from the hospital bed, the armor that I didn't have time to clean had been contaminated black with blood. So to commemorate that battle, I asked the Forge Guild to dye my armor black, so it's what it is. Because of this armor, I'm now known as Calvin of Darksilver. ”

"Vampire ......" Lott frowned, "how terrible are they?" He had heard about this race several times in other people's conversations, but he had never actually seen it, which inevitably made him a little curious.

"Locusts," Calvin thought for a moment and gave the answer, "It's just that they eat not food, but human blood." ”

"You're a hero, Mr. Calvin. Returning the gauntlet to the knight, the boy showed him respect.

"At least I'm alive. Calvin sighed and took the gauntlet, "But some people are not so lucky, even after retirement...... I wanted to have a drink with him......"

"He ......," Lott said again.

"Would you like to hear his old story?" Calvin read his thoughts.

"Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to say this today?" asked Lott tentatively.

Calvin touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Then let's talk about one." ”

The request was granted, and Lott suddenly came to his senses, and he leaned himself against the table, his head stretched forward, looking expectant.

"It was a mission to hunt the Chimera, I remember, the Chimera is a high-level dangerous monster, the head of a lion, the body of a sheep, the tail of a snake, it looks quite scary. Hopler, I, and a friend, three of us took on the task. ”

"What level of mission?"

"It's difficult. Calvin struggled to recall for a moment, "Yes, I was worried at first that the three of us would not be enough, but one of them was uncaring, the other was absent-minded, and they both thought it was simple, so I did."

Picked up. ”

"Did the mission go well?" asked Lot.

"Those two guys, they don't like simplicity when they take on tasks, and they're lazy when it's time to find the Chimera, is the Chimera going to jump in front of us on its own?" Calvin said in a tone that began to grow a little indignant.

"When we were on the move, Uncle Hopler was alone in front. A shallow smile appeared on Lott's face, remembering what had happened not so long ago.

"That's because I'm not here, that time I relied on me to ask for the enemy, and the two of them followed slowly, one of them relied on his age to say that I was a young man who had to practice more, and the other said that the captain had to pay more, you said it was too much. Calvin seemed to be a good storyteller, and before he knew it, Lott was hooked.

"And did you find it?" asked the boy excitedly.

"I found it after climbing most of the jungle, I wore such heavy armor, walked so far, and I was responsible for all the weeds and shrubs that stood in the way, they didn't understand at all, and when they saw the monster, they asked me to go first. Calvin laughed as he spoke, complaining on his lips, but his face seemed to be happier the more he spoke.

"Looks like they're always bullying you, just like Rhodes is always bullying me. Lott seemed to resonate a little, and smiled at Calvin's infection.

"Who made me a knight?" Calvin touched the emblem on the armor on his chest, "After I was responsible for attracting the attention of the monster, the two of them launched a surprise attack on both sides, and the monster that had been looking for most of the day was over at once. ”

"It's so easy. Lott was surprised at first, and then couldn't help but think, "If it were your team this time, Uncle Hopler would not have had an accident." ”

When Calvin heard this, his face immediately froze: "There is no if, you just think that this possibility cannot grow." ”

"Really......" Lott replied perfunctorily.

"Actually, I have a request to leave you alone. After gossiping, the relationship between the two has become much more familiar in the exchange, and Calvin finally got to the point.

"Invite what?" Lott was wary, and he instinctively sensed that what Calvin was about to say was unusual.

The knight held out his hand to him, "Please let me succeed Hopler as your teacher." ”

Lott had envisioned many possibilities before Calvin spoke, but they were all wrong, and the result was so much that he could not have guessed even if he had been given time. The boy's eyes widened and froze in place. Without any other people's demands, how can anyone be willing to accept this burden of their own, and their last teacher has been dead for less than a month.

Seeing that the boy was too surprised, Calvin withdrew his hand, "Looks like I still need to explain." ”

"No need to explain!" Lott frowned, no matter how bizarre the request, Lot's attitude was resolute, "Whatever you want, provided I don't leave Rod." ”

"Rhodes has a future of his own. Calvin glanced in the direction of the next door.

Hearing Calvin's words, Lot's face changed greatly, he wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, he held back.

"I thought you'd rush over and bang on the door. There are not many young people who have as much self-control as you. Ever since he finished speaking, Calvin began to observe Lotter's expression and movements, and couldn't help but praise him.

"In Portnath, Rhodes and I were caught by local gangs

In the current situation, my leg was almost broken when I stood up. Lott recalls the unpleasant wanderings.

"It's true that Portnatus is not as safe as Pamela. couldn't help but comment, Calvin hurriedly changed the topic, "I was going to tell you, Yass Langli persuaded Rod to join the Church of the Holy Word next door, and let Rod and her go back to the Holy Capital." ”

I remembered the yearning for the church that Rhodes had shown...... Lott was silent.

"Don't you think it's a good future for him?" Calvin said and laughed at himself, "That's luckier than following me, I can't teach you the Word." ”

"It's true that the Word is very powerful, and he has the protection of the church, but does he really believe in God the Father?" Lott seemed to ask himself, he could have been sure that Rhodes was the same as himself, but he said that he was going to be a knight of the oath, and he was not sure.

"I'll see what he decides to confirm later. If he rejects Yass Langley, you can also reject me, and I will not have anything to hold onto, and I will disappear from your life forever. Calvin was enlightened at this point, reassuring Lot.

"If he goes to the Holy Capital, can't I go with him?" Lott still didn't give up.

"If you are not a guild member, you don't have the right of residence in the saint, and adventurers are not considered guild members. And you are not a member of the Church, you can't even see Rhodes, because you can't enter the Holy Parish. Calvin's words shattered Lott's last illusions.

The boy clasped his hands and stopped talking.

"And does that make sense? Watch Rhodes grow little by little, and you stop? You're so obsessed with protecting him, what protection will you take when the time comes?" Calvin took advantage of the victory to chase after him, trying to break Lot's mental defenses in one fell swoop.

"Then I can also take risks on my own, why should I let you be my teacher. The position retreated step by step, and Lott was driven to a dead end by Calvin, which was more of a puff than a rebuttal.

"Because you're a disciple of Hopler. I don't want to just let the last traces of him disappear. Calvin didn't make it clear, he moved out of Hopler, hoping that Lott would calm down.

"Why do you think I can't do it alone? Lott finally couldn't hold it anymore, slammed the table, and stood up.

"Do you think a man can grow faster than I teach you?" said the knight, "Take the Knights of the Oath, those freemen have never won a place in the Priesthood Qualifying, not once. ”

"And what can you teach me, Hopler said you would be limited to teach me more, you can teach more than him?"

"I can take you on advanced adventures, which is a kind of learning in itself, and there is always a difference between a knight and a warrior, and you will definitely see something new when you learn, even me occasionally. There was nothing false in Calvin's words, as long as Lott thought calmly, he would find that this was the best option, but he seemed unwilling, he was not willing to move towards this future.

"You don't have to call me teacher in the future, just like you can call me uncle, you can continue to call me sir. Calvin said this, holding out his hand again.

Seeing the knight's sincere expression, Lott hesitated for a moment, but finally shook it, he was a rational person after all, and he wouldn't do something surprising without Rhodes' trouble. At this point, all struggles have failed, and the fates of the two teenagers have begun to go in different directions, which may be the price of growth.
