Collecting retinues is not a very simple thing in a sense, not only for the master, but also for the entourage.

In particular, it is the foresters who are being collected.

It's not that Xu Mu dislikes Lu Ya, but Lu Ya's identity relationship, if Lu Ya really becomes his entourage, then he will inevitably not be able to become a knight, so he can only drop out of the magic academy, and then go to the capital to do things for the family.

"Granny Tree... Are you serious?"

"Old decay rarely jokes. ”

"Does Granny Tree know that after becoming an entourage, in a way, Lua will not be from the Northern Forest, and Luya will obey my orders in the future, and I will even ask her to participate in the battle, asking her to stay away from the Northern Forest... Has Granny Tree really considered this?"

Granny Tree let out a kind smile: "These old decays are naturally considered. I knew that after Lua became an entourage, a lot of things were done by the master's family, and the relationship with the northern forest needed to be gradually separated. However, the northern forest needs a forester to go out, which is a symbol, a symbol that the forester can also survive in peace in the human world outside... In fact, a year ago, you didn't come to the Northern Forest to tell the old man today, I'm afraid that the old man will never know about it... I was struck by this incident, and perhaps it was time for the foresters to make a change. ”

"I know that you are the captain of the Royal Knights, and it is inevitable to involve your retinue in battle, and Luya's talent for combat magic is not low, and she also has a superb alchemy, I believe that she is by your side and can give you a lot of help. ”

"Of course, this kind of thing is just a chance for Luya to see if she wants to be your follower, follow in your footsteps, and you will lead her to grow and move forward. After all, if she is really tired of life in the human world outside and wants to return to the northern forest, we will not embarrass her. ”

Seeing that Granny Shu didn't look like she was joking, Xu Mu couldn't help but think calmly.

If Lua really becomes his entourage, it can actually be regarded as a good thing.

On the one hand, Luya's magical talent alone has far surpassed Ailu, although the combat experience is not as high as Ailu, but this can be cultivated.

On the other hand, Lua's alchemy is indeed likely to help her a lot in the future...

Especially Luya, a forest girl, he really likes it, when Lua is around, he always feels that the atmosphere is easy to warm up, who doesn't like a silly and simple forest girl?

However, the foresters had said they would not engage in human combat.

If Lua becomes his retinue and ends up fighting with humans, what will humans think of the foresters in the northern forests?

Could this be the change that Granny Tree wants to see?

Just when Xu Mu was still thinking, a cheerful jumping sound sounded behind him, and Luya appeared after a while.

Her flaxen hair was spread out, the hair around her cheeks was braided, her slender ears swayed gently, and she had a lovely smile under her small nose, and she looked visibly happy.

When Lua arrived, she immediately greeted Granny Tree with a smile.

"Granny Tree~Miss Luya~"

"Think, why don't you want to, as long as you don't always step on the old rotten branches and swing, it's easy to say. ”

Seeing that Xu Mu was present, and Granny Shu still said this, Luya couldn't help blushing and scratching her head anxiously.

"Speaking of Granny Tree, what is the reason why you called Lua?"

"There's something going on, the old man is here to ask for your thoughts. ”

"Lua's thoughts?"

"Luya, are you willing to become Xu Mu's entourage, and go to the soup for Xu Mu in the future, everything will be based on Xu Mu..."

"Wait...!" Lu Ya suddenly interrupted Granny Shu's speech, her face was strange, and she turned her head to look at Xu Mu: "Granny Shu, what are you talking about? ”

"This... Let Xu Mu explain it to you. ”

Seeing this, Xu Mu had no choice but to cough, and he explained seriously: "Actually, I'm not a civilian, nor am I a knight candidate... I am the current captain of the Royal Knights, and I am also a nobleman. ”

"Huh?" Luya couldn't believe it, "what are you talking about, sir, are you making Lua happy?, how can Sir be a nobleman, how can Sir be a nobleman as a knight candidate and Lua has been an alternate student for so long?"

Xu Mu sighed and took out the power badge from his chest again and showed it to Luya.

"You should recognize this, right? After all, the power badge of the Royal Knights and the knight candidates of the Academy of Magic should have seen the drawings. ”

"This...!" Lu Ya was surprised, and couldn't help but lean forward and take a closer look at the power badge in Xu Mu's hand: "This is really a power badge... But this can't be, sir..."

"It's my fault that I've been hiding my identity before, and I shouldn't have hidden it from you. ”

"No, Luya isn't..."Luya's mind suddenly became a little confused.

"I hid my identity for a special reason. I can't explain it to you just yet, but maybe I'll be able to tell you later when I have the chance. Xu Mu thought of something, and immediately asked, "Do you remember the Star Guard?"

"Xingwei, Xinghu, they, naturally remember... After the previous game with them, the gentleman was very friendly to affirm their courage and battle. ”

"Actually, that's one of the purposes for me to hide my identity, I really want to see how many knight candidates I can see in my ordinary life, and when the time for two years is up, I can make them knights, and by the way, I have more resources to lean into them. ”

Luya looked at Xu Mu, then at the patriarch and the tree mother-in-law on the side, and couldn't help asking, "That... Does the gentleman want to take me as a knight?"

Xu Mu shook his head with a smile and stuffed the power badge back in: "I remember you told me that you don't want to be a knight. ”

Speaking of this in front of the patriarch and Granny Tree, Luya was immediately ashamed, because it seemed that she was very selfish and unwilling to pay for the northern forest.

"Luya, you're a friend, so I respect your choice, if you don't want to be a knight, I won't force it, understand?"

Hearing Xu Mu say this, Lu Ya nodded slightly, calmed down and sorted out her thoughts, and asked slowly: "I mean, Mr. was originally a nobleman, and now he wants to accept Lu Ya as his entourage?"

"It was Granny Shu's suggestion to make you my retinue, so I called you to ask, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to. Xu Mu smiled softly, "After all, you are not particularly happy in the human world, if you are not willing to continue to live in the human world in the future, I can also accept and understand." ”

Lua blinked and looked at Granny Tree.

Xu Mu was very gentle with her, she had always known it, but she wanted to know what her purpose was to become Xu Mu's entourage.

Although she is simple, she is not stupid, since this proposal was said by the tree mother-in-law, it must have some purpose.

Lua looked at Granny Tree, wanting to get an explanation.

Granny Shu made an old and kind voice: "Luya, do you like to stay by Xu Mu's side?"
