"Get up," Tilly said calmly, "I know you must be full of wonders at the moment, why the army makes an exception to recruit non-residents, why the screening criteria are so weird, and ...... Why I'm going to explain this and so on. In fact, these questions are complicated, but after experiencing them firsthand, you will find that they are very simple, so I will not go into details here, but only briefly mention a few points. ”

"First of all, you are not joining the First Army or the Second Army, but a new army that my brother intends to form. It's different from any army you've ever had before, so the screening will be a little more special. ”

There was a slight commotion, and there was no doubt that the new team had a wider path to rise and was less likely to be sidelined. For those of them who have no roots, it is obviously the best choice to go to a completely new army for development.

Even a fool can understand this.

"But your current status can only be considered a reserve. The princess continued, "It is because it is so different that I have nothing to refer to, which means that everything has to be started from scratch, and the difficulties are bound to be beyond imagination—if you have to compare them with the difficulty of your previous examinations." There are sixteen people standing here now, but only one or two can really become empty knights, or ...... Not a single one. ”

Goode couldn't help but take a cool breath.

What surprised him was not how difficult it was, but the first half of the other party's words.

What a knight!

Although I don't know what the difference between "empty knights" and traditional knights is, it is an incredible thing in itself to allow ordinary people from poor backgrounds to get this opportunity.

As for being very difficult?

Isn't that a matter of course!

He felt his heart burn up.

However, what shocked him even more was still to come-

"And because of the people who really understand what the new army is, in this city ...... No, it should be said that in this world, there are only two people, my brother and me, plus Roland can't be distracted too much by this, so I will be responsible for teaching you later. ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Goode froze in place.

Her Royal Highness the princess herself came to teach them?

That is, they have a chance to become knights canonized by the princess of Grey Keep?

Even if he didn't have a fief, he was no longer a nobleman, which was still a great honor, especially for a new emigrant like him, who had nothing.

Others were not much calmer either.

If it weren't for the fear of being rude in front of the princess and annoying the princess, everyone would have cheered a long time ago.

The rapid breathing around me is the best proof of this.

"The training of all qualified people will be concentrated in the new shallow area, and you will be given a new residence and official status, and you will become a part of the new royal capital. Tilly reached out and pressed down, "But remember, even reservists belong to the military. Your movements will be restricted, your withdrawal will be considered a defection, and any violation of military orders will be punished severely, understand?"

"Yes...... Your Highness!" Although he was a little distracted by the princess's stern admonition, so that the voice of the reply was not loud, no one showed remorse.

"Very well, finally take an oath to the King of the Greykeep," Tilly looked at the tall man at the table, "Vader." ”

The latter stroked his chest and nodded, then took out a roll of white paper from his bosom and spread it out, "Now I will read a sentence, and you will read a sentence along." ”

The content of the oath is very simple and easy to understand.

Even too blunt.

For example, the sentence "I have no ill will towards His Majesty Roland, nor the slightest hostility towards witches." ”

Who dares to have it!

Remembering that Her Royal Highness the Princess is also a witch, Goode unconsciously raised his voice to the maximum when he said this, as if he could not show his loyalty if he was lower.

After taking the oath, the guards stepped forward and handed out the packages one by one to them.

"From this moment on, you are part of the army. Tilly smiled, "The first round of recruitment is expected to last for a week or so, and then the training will officially begin, and what's in the package is what you'll learn first." ”

......

By the time Goode returned to the central square, it was already dark, and the people who had come to recruit had already dispersed, and the uncle and Shanguo were gone.

This was expected, no one expected that the assessment would take so long, and they still had their families to take care of, so it was impossible for them to stay in the square all the time.

At the moment, he didn't care too much, hugged the package tightly in his arms, and ran towards the temporary living quarters as if flying.

Joy echoed in his heart, as if he had inexhaustible strength, even if the cold wind was blowing on his face, he couldn't feel a trace of cold. The snow clattered under his feet, and the pavement trampled by thousands of people resembled a black-brown sign—perhaps the snow would cover it again tomorrow, but for now, it was guiding him home.

Diving headlong into the low, warm earthen hut, Rachel was cooking porridge.

"Sorry...... I'm coming back late, today-"

"I know," interrupted the girl crisply, "the uncle next door told me that you got a good job, right?"

Before he could answer, the other party had already stretched out his right hand to him.

"Where's the good food?"

"Uh...... What?"

"Hey, you said you were going to bring me egg pancakes!" Rachel pouted in displeasure.

Hell, he actually left this whole thing behind, and Goode hurriedly made up for it, "Next time, next time you can eat one a week! No, eat two!"

"Two?" Rachel skeptical, "really?"

"Of course, this job is not ordinary, and I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Goode took off his wet shoes, rolled up half of his trousers, and leaned over to the fire, carefully taking the package out of his arms, "Look, this is what she gave me. ”

"What's in there?" For a moment, the girl's curiosity overwhelmed her dissatisfaction with the no-show.

"I don't know, open it and see," Goode lifted the tie and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "This is ......"

"Books?" replied Rachel.

He took out all the contents and found that it was a stack of books. The cover was printed with different pictures, which looked very beautiful, but unfortunately he couldn't read a word.

"Yes...... Can you help me see what it is?" at this point, he had to turn to Rachel for help.

The girl smirked, "I can't guarantee that I will recognize them all." Well, this book is for reading and writing...... Technique, which is commonly used...... Vocabulary...... Shorthand, the third book is ......"

And the picture on the cover turned out to be another summary of the content, such as a quill pen printed on "Reading and Writing Skills", and three-dimensional letters of large and small on "Vocabulary Shorthand......

For some reason, Goode was slightly disappointed.

He originally thought that what it contained would be a reward from His Highness to the qualified, and it didn't need to be very valuable, even if it was a volume of letters, at least it was a symbol of honor.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would already be laughing at him for daydreaming—how could Her Royal Highness put such a ubiquitous primary education textbook in his hands?

Goode soon recovered, however.

Also, since you want to be a knight, you naturally can't even know a word.

He does have a lot to learn.

That's when the cover of a book catches Goode's eye.

He had never seen anything in the picture before, it resembled a huge kite or a great bird with its wings spread out - it had four pairs of wings, many times larger than a man, and the woman who sat on it and steered it resembled Her Royal Highness the Princess! The sea glittered beneath her feet, and the continent that should have been vast became a place of edge.

This perspective is exactly the same as the scene seen in the first round of assessment!

He felt his breathing slow for a while.

Rachel...... What is written in this book?"

"Well, I'll see," Rachel leaned her head over, "flying...... And...... Operate...... Well, that's right!" she clapped her hands and read it again, "it's called the Flight Principles and Operations Manual." ”
