I am Lord Rich's First Horseman, Leona Truxina.

The boy was very restrained, and he looked a little overwhelmed when he was suddenly brought to everyone, as if he was itching all over his body and didn't dare to scratch it, and he looked awkward standing there.

Richie saw that the longing in his eyes had subsided, and he became a very ordinary country boy. Even in the remote north, this kind of attire is the object of ridicule in Stormwind.

"What's your name?"

"Ni...... Nicholas, my name is Nicholas. I'm nine years old, a second-class warrior, born in the village of Kugesi, and my ...... I was born in the village of Kugesi, just below the town of Yaksha. My mother...... My dad is a city defense ...... My grandfather once fought with the Duke in the Rock Fortress! My mother worked as a helper in the house of Lord Cornwall, and I was a meritorious person. My family has fought for the Duke for generations, please accept me! I will be dedicated to my duties and loyal to Swan!"

The boy spoke intermittently, but quickly, from stammering at the beginning to stammering later, almost yelling.

"How long have you memorized this paragraph?"

"Three days. ”

"I've been beaten a lot. ”

"yes......! No, no, I ......."

Haha, Richie and the other four were amused by the teenager.

However, Richie knew that this country boy was not simple, and the reason was that he said that he was a meritorious person.

This starts with the system of the Orar Empire, although it is called an empire, but in fact this country implements a feudal system, and the centralization is very weak. The emperor can canonize all titles, while the duke can canonize his own marquis, and so on. Not only are there ranks of knighthoods, but so are ordinary people, but the general territory is simply divided into good citizens and guilty people, and good citizens pay relatively few taxes, and can serve as a nobleman's private army, or even become a nobleman. Although the crime is better than that of a slave, and it is allowed to have its own property, not only must it pay a large amount of taxes, but it is almost always a criminal citizen, and it is not allowed to study, to become a professional, to serve as an administrator, and not to obtain a knighthood.

As for the term "meritorious people", it is unique to the Duke of Swan, which is a means of exploiting the people invented by the old fellow Victor.

A large part of Victor Swan's nickname 'miser' came from this, other dukedoms usually have one or three marquises, and the Swann dukes don't have one, and there should be three to nine counts, but there are none here. Even viscounts and barons are very few.

And even this so-called meritorious person is not so easy to get. To be awarded, it must have performed a great service to the Duke of Swann at the level of a lord in another lord's realm. Of course, the title Victor is reluctant to give, but the benefits are still very expensive.

Anyone who is a member of the Duke of Swan's county can guarantee a person to study at the magic academy in the territory, or apprentice with some powerful warriors, and get the opportunity to become a higher-level professional. If they succeed in cultivation, the doors of high-end professions such as Dragon Knight and Earth Bear Knight will be completely open to them, and the supply of cultivation resources will also be open, which is not available in other territories.

In other words, if the little guy in front of him grows up, as long as he can reach the level of a level 7 high-level professional, he will successfully become an Earth Bear Knight, and if there is still potential to be tapped, the Dragon Knight is not a dream. These two legions, although they are not many in number, are definitely the arms of the Swan family.

Richie overheard Victor's conversation with the butler, and the cultivation consumption of the meritorious people recommended by the people led to a large financial expense, and the entire duke was a little unbearable. The time-traveler instinctively felt that this system was advanced, but he was a little skeptical that a nine-year-old child could achieve the equivalent of a lord.

"How did you get the title of Meritorious Citizen?"

Saying this, the young man's eyes finally had a little confidence, and he also raised his head: "I have been waiting in the mountains for eighteen days. Stealing a cub from an Earth Bear. ”

That's quite an achievement.

The creatures of the Great World of Truth are all born with ranks, and the professionals divide the energy levels of all creatures based on the combat power of ordinary adult human males. The level of ordinary adult human males who have not cultivated is level 0, while the Earth Bear is a high-level magical beast that will inevitably reach level seven after becoming an adult, and the best of them can even be promoted to legendary, just like Foitek. When he becomes an adult, he is also quite strong in combat power, and can even take on a giant dragon on the ground.

This kind of magical beast only lives in the mountains at the western end of the Swan Dukedom, and the entire Swan family is only less than four hundred large and small, and high-level magical beasts are usually difficult to reproduce, and the wild number is already very rare, which seriously limits the size of the Earth Bear Knight Legion.

It's really not easy for this nine-year-old guy to get a cub.

"You're a brilliant hunter. It is bound to become a formidable fighter in the future. ”

"No, I'm going to be a great ranger, I'm going to hunt adult earth bears, I'm going to hunt dragons!"

"Roar!"

"Your Excellency Faliasketao, dissipate your anger!

Kid, why don't you land on Mars? Depending on your level of death, you have the potential to become a legendary comic - if you have this profession. Talking about slaying dragons in front of a giant dragon, you really dare to say it.

Monnie was happy: "Haha, this guy is so funny. How about letting me play with it?"

I still want him to live to adulthood safely. Looking at Monnie's attitude, maybe she will really encourage the little guy to find trouble with the Red Dragon Legion. Everyone in Stormwind Castle was polite to the brother and sister, except for the large lizards covered with scales, and Monnie had been unhappy for a long time.

But Monnie is a screw, and the more she twists it, the more energetic she becomes: "Okay, it's thin and thin, it doesn't look like a high-end product, let one of your two little fresh meats go, and this guy will be yours." ”

"Cut! Anyway, now we are brother and sister, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. When does the old lady want to play...... Olivia, you old witch, don't pinch me. ”

Don't think that if you swear or talk about it, no one will pay attention to your uncle.

Too lazy to pay attention to this crazy woman, Richie smiled at Nicholas: "Okay, you'll mess with me in the future." ”

Papacama is a big man after all, and he always uses her as a mount to play a big name, and Richie thinks that this guy in front of him has a very good personality, with the simplicity of the Northlanders, and does not lack fighting spirit and perseverance, so he decided to give him a chance.

The future ranger became extremely serious at this moment, and knelt on one knee: "I, Nicholas, swear allegiance to you today, and I will be your whip and your sword." I will take my bow and arrows, and I will do my duty faithfully, and I will die and die. I am willing to tolerate the weak for you, I am willing to challenge the powerful for you, I am willing to protect my companions for you, and I will always be loyal. Wherever your sword points is my journey, I will prove my oath with my life. ”

Richie was gently placed on the ground by Victor, who stretched out his little hand and gently stroked the top of Nicholas's head on tiptoe: "I, Richie Swan, accept your allegiance. I swear: I will give you courage, I will treat you as a friend, I will share honor with you, and the truth will be with us. ”

Victor whispered a reminder, "You have to give him a surname." ”

It turns out that there is still this saying, why didn't the old guy say it earlier on the way here?

Richie thought for a moment: "Then your surname is Kandy." ”
