Chapter 16: Coincidentally, I'm not a knight either
The appearance of the guardian knight dates back to the first magic war, because the body of the mage is generally weak, lack of sufficient melee ability, so in the chaotic battlefield is easy to become an assassin, thief and other professions of sneak attack target, the military sent a special melee team to protect the mage, on the battlefield, many mages and their own team together in life and death bloody battle, each other formed a deep friendship.

Later, the war ended, but the assassination activities against the mages did not stop with it, but became a bit more and more intense, and after seeing the powerful performance of the mages on the battlefield, the fear of the other races for these emaciated humans who can call the wind and rain has also reached its peak.
In order to protect themselves, some magicians simply joined the military or served for the royal family and became court magicians, but the vast majority of magicians still yearn for a free life.
As a last resort, the magicians can only ask their former old comrades for help, in addition to the deep friendship formed in the war, the magicians also offered extremely generous rewards for these former old friends, as we all know, the magicians are a group of relatively wealthy guys, and they will naturally not be stingy with their former comrades, and in the end many masters choose to leave the army, be hired by magicians, and become their personal bodyguards.
With the loss of so many people at once, the army is naturally very nervous, but the tension is nervous, and they are actually a little helpless about this situation, after all, the duty of the soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, and the military department also has an unshirkable responsibility for the assassination of the magician in his own territory.
But they can't really send troops to protect every magician, that kind of military expenditure is too great, the war has just ended, the country is still in the stage of recuperation, the treasury has no money, too many men have died in the war, and now there are large tracts of fertile land in the village that no one cultivates, and it is obviously unrealistic to raise the tax burden.
Now it is equivalent to the magicians taking the initiative to bear this part of the cost, helping the army save a lot of expenses, and although those masters have left the army, once the war starts again in the future, the magicians will definitely have to participate in the war, and the group of masters who are responsible for protecting them will naturally not be able to run away.
Anyway, the military department can only comfort itself like this.
And this part of the retired masters in the army is the first batch of guardian knights.
Unlike the Punishment Knights, the Guardian Knights are not a subordinate branch of the knighthood class, and even a significant number of them are not even knights strictly speaking.
Guardian Knight is actually a title that is more inclined to earls and viscounts, and it has gradually become a special honor today.
A magician can only have one guardian knight in his life, and once selected, it can no longer be changed, in peacetime, although the guardian knight still shoulders the responsibility of protecting the magician, but the opportunity for them to perform their duties is too few, more often it becomes a kind of political marriage, the nobles let their heir or the next generation become the guardian knight of a well-known magician, so as to close the relationship with the latter, and the magician can also establish a good relationship with the nobles through this form, and get the other party's funding.
In general, it can be regarded as taking what you need.
Luo Luo didn't expect that the so-called proposal of the young scholar turned out to be her guardian knight, no wonder he had been urging himself to answer quickly, speaking of which, the ritual of becoming a guardian knight did seem to require one knee to kneel, which coincided with some ancient tradition.
Thinking of his previous misunderstanding, the girl's face was hot, what, what this guy said is actually the same thing, the rookie brave man breathed a sigh of relief, but I don't know why, I was faintly disappointed in my heart.
In order to avoid trouble along the way, she has always dressed herself as a boy, and the guy on the other side probably doesn't even know his real gender, how could he rashly make that strange request, and what's even more ridiculous is that he didn't know how to get hot at the time, and actually agreed to him, oh my God, now I feel so ashamed just thinking about it.
Well, I must have been frightened by his aggressive appearance at the time, so I would have succumbed. Yes, it must be.
Luo Luo was a little weak-hearted, but then he remembered something and asked the little scholar on the side, "Why do you want to be my guardian knight?"
In fact, the girl asked this question a little late, and it stands to reason that she should have figured it out before agreeing, but unfortunately she was dizzy at that time, and she didn't even hear the boy's request clearly, let alone ask the reason.
"Well, I thought about it later, it seems good to have a magician as a backer. ”
"Ah, but I'm not a magician yet. ”
"Coincidentally, I'm not a knight yet, so let's work together in the future. The boy made a cheering gesture to the girl.
Rob's proposal was not a whim, the Grand Mage of the Inquisition and the Punishment Knight thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to tell the girl for the time being.
The reason is very simple, with the current strength of the rookie brave, even if she knows, it is useless, she can't do anything except worry and fear every day, just like she said before, the enemy's strength and level are too much beyond her, in this case, it is better to let her cultivate in peace in that Saint Laurent Brothers Magic Academy.
Magic is not something that can be overcome all the way by relying on diligence and expectation, sometimes the mentality is too impatient and will affect the effect of cultivation, and it is not uncommon for the desire to be quick to not reach it, and the more meditation every day, the better.
The rookie brave's top priority is to improve her strength first, until she is capable enough to face all this, the threat of the Inquisition archmage will help her solve it on her behalf, and in this way, Rob needs to have an identity to stay by the rookie brave's side all the time, and the guardian knight has become a logical choice.
In fact, if it is purely from the perspective of safety, the best choice for the girl now is to find a place to be incognito, give up the obsession of revenge, and live this life plainly, but Rob knows that Luo Luo will not choose this path no matter what.
In this case, the Grand Mage can only accompany her to the Free City-State and do his best to protect her.
Fortunately, compared to the Holy Alliance, the power of the Church in the free city-states is much weaker, and the university town of Gudris is the world of magicians.
But then it was the turn of the future Arch Magister, and although it seemed to be calm recently, the young man was sure that the Wizards Guild, under the auspices of Steines and Deman, had definitely secretly launched a comprehensive investigation against him.
Coupled with the fact that he is already one of the most famous people in the wizarding world, it is not too crazy to run to the gathering place of magicians.
But as the saying goes, the most dangerous places are often the safest places.
As the place with the highest concentration of magicians in the entire Dawn Continent, probably no one would have thought that His Excellency the future Super Magus would have the courage to send it to the door. And the secret treasure with camouflage function that he harvested from the dungeon some time ago also gave Rob some confidence in the new journey he was about to embark on. (To be continued.) )
