Chapter 17: The Puppy
The sound of torches hunting, the clatter of swords came to my ears, crisp, but a little harsh.
Qin Shaofu sat on the stone bench, his eyes closed, and he held a five-color medal in his right hand, rubbing it carefully. This is the badge of the lord knight, the status symbol, and the possession of this thing has the power of the knightly nobility.
What I once dreamed of is now in my hands, but there is no sense of imagination.
Icy cold, no heat.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a shout: "Assemble!"
Taking the five-color medal into his arms, Qin Shaofu pushed open the door and strode out.
Outside was a hall, with a surge of figures, and nearly fifty people came out from all around the hall and converged in the middle.
"Get out of the way, don't touch Lao Tzu!"
"Where did you bastard come out, you stink to death, get out of there. ”
"Don't come here, dare to come over and kill you. ”
“......”
The shouting and scolding came and went, without order, without order, and in chaos.
Unlike the regular army, these people are unkempt, disheveled, and some of them are dirty and embarrassing, like soldiers, and they are simply refugees.
The rabble...... Qin Shaofu gave a conclusion, but it was not unexpected.
Through Hadros's introduction, he already had a general understanding of the situation in the Dark Arbitration. It must be said that the work of the Holy See is in place, and the people of the Holy Empire yearn for the light and want to become righteous and benevolent people.
Therefore, the Dark Arbitration is very troublesome to recruit, and people from innocent backgrounds are fighting to become knights just like him before, and no one wants to become a witcher. In the minds of the people, this is a dirty profession.
As a last resort, we have no choice but to choose from among those who have broken the law, even those condemned to death. In this way, it is also suitable for this profession.
There is no shortage of sinners who are gifted with good talents, and those who have committed crimes have been relieved of some of their psychological burdens and are better able to carry out the dark judgment than those who have righteousness in their hearts.
And I'm one of them now.
Let go of the righteousness in your heart...... Qin Shaofu touched his chest and couldn't help but ask himself: How many are there here?
It was in the midst of the hustle and bustle that a big man in black armor walked in. This man is two meters tall, and his exposed arms are visible as if they have been carved muscles, and they are powerful.
At a glance, it was like a black tower, standing in front of everyone, without even speaking, the "rabble" quieted down and barely stood in array.
There was another sound of footsteps, and Hadros appeared in the doorway, striding like a meteor. The strong man saluted him, took a few steps back, and stood aside.
Glancing at everyone, Hadros smiled slightly, "Good morning, puppies. “
This kind of insulting language, if it were the Knights Templar, would probably cause one knight after another to stand up and demand an apology, even if it was Hadros who said it.
But not here, a group of "rabble" did not speak. Despite the fire and anger in the eyes, no one stood up.
Hadros looked around again, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and nodded: "Yes, there is no Holy Mother Heart that I don't want to see." I love the god of light, but I really don't like the knights out there. casually received some insults, and shouted that he would wash away the shame with his life. “
"My Dark Arbitration doesn't want idiots like that, idiots who show their minions before they reach their wings. “
"Secondly, don't think I'm insulting you by calling you puppies. I, Hadros's nickname is Old Dog, and you will all eat with me in the future, what is it if you are not a puppy?"
"But ......"
Hadros stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone: "You have to remember clearly, the name of the dog, only we can shout it." If others dare to call it that, let them know what the gravediggers of the Dark Arbitration are. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Nearly fifty people shouted in unison, and if the thunder was loud, the sound echoed in the hall, and it did not disperse for a long time, and in an instant, a large amount of rabble was swept away.
"Very good!" Hadros nodded: "In the future, it will not be so easy for you to see me, unless you complete the task excellently, it will be difficult to meet me, an old dog as the supreme leader." “
"You're all pre-witchers now, not real witchers. Before you can qualify as a witcher, you must undergo rigorous training here. This is your instructor, Renaud. “
"None of you can get out of here until he nods his head in approval. If you can't get out alive, then die here. Dark Arbitrator, as long as the elite, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
This time, the sound was noticeably quieter.
Hadros didn't care, smiled, looked at Qin Shaofu, nodded and said: "Very good, I thought you were all useless waste, but I didn't expect that there is an orthodox soldier here, it seems that it will not be impossible to come out." “
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked over, making Qin Shaofu constantly roll his eyes in his heart.
Before coming, Hadros had said that the training in the Dark Arbitration was more than ten times more rigorous than that of the Orthodox Knights...... Because the recruits are almost always prisoners, they have no human rights at all, and they die when they die.
And as the carrier of the Angel of Sin, the backbone of the future, and perhaps even a leader-level figure, he must undergo more rigorous training.
Hadros didn't say exactly how, but it was understood by this time.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, let yourself become the target of the public first, and this group of future "colleagues" will never talk to themselves about chivalry.
At this moment, he saw all kinds of ill-will, deep malice in those eyes.
Having achieved his goal, Hadros smiled slightly, and patted the giant man's arm again: "I'll leave it to you, don't disgrace your reputation." “
"Understood!"
The giant man saluted respectfully, and then watched Hadros leave.
After the figure disappeared from his sight, the giant man turned around and looked at everyone, without speaking, but obviously felt that his momentum was increasing, making people feel that there was a big mountain pressing on their heads, and the dark clouds covered the top, which was extremely uncomfortable.
So strong, Qin Shaofu secretly said in his heart, this person's strength may not be comparable to Jiang Yan, but it should not be much worse than Assad, at least the eighth rank of the ground level.
"My name is Renaud, and if you can get out of here alive, I don't think you'll ever forget that name for the rest of your life. “
The giant man spoke with a sound like thunder, making people feel as if a big stone was smashing on his head.
"Now, everyone goes to the armor warehouse to choose a set of well-fitting armor and wears it, a Xuanjie product, at least sixty catties. For each high grade, add 30 catties. “
Stretched out another finger and pointed at Qin Shaofu.
"You, one hundred and twenty pounds!"
