Volume II: The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 54: Registration
Buna led Russell into the hall of the Knights of the Cathar, and the clergy who passed by here from time to time looked at Russell standing behind Buna suspiciously.
It was a strange thing that the normally majestic Knight Captain Buna had a pleasant conversation with a stranger.
At this time, Buna was briefing Russell about the Knights of the Cathars.
"The place we are standing in now is the hall of the Knights of the Cathars, which is also the center of the building, on the left is the residence of all the knights, on your right is where the knights train, and in the innermost part is the armory where all the equipment of the knights is stored.
Russell shook his head and replied frankly: "I don't have this idea, in fact, all the buildings of the Knights of the Cathar are big enough, even bigger than the Albert family castle I have seen!"
Buna smiled and said, "Since I've already introduced you to the various places about the Knights, let's go to the registration office to register for you now!"
A moment later they came to the interior of the building, which was full of clerical personnel in a hurry, all employees of the Church, but independent of the Order.
This time, the two of them didn't have to make a long detour here before they arrived at the place where the registration was done.
There weren't many people here, but people were quietly working on papers, and there was little movement in the room except for the sound of papers turning and people panting.
This scene made Russell and Bunner a little restrained, and even slowed down their pace a lot, for fear of arguing with these civilian personnel to handle official business.
In just a few tens of meters, Buna and Russell felt more tiring than running hundreds of meters, and by the time Russell walked to the registration office, cold sweat broke out in his palms.
Sitting in the registry office at this time was a young woman with short hair and a beautiful face, who was also sitting at a table full of papers, constantly dealing with all kinds of complicated tasks.
Buna walked to the front of the registration office, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and greeted her softly.
"My dear Miss Volly, I've come to see you!"
Voli looked up at Buna with a dissatisfied face, and said word by word: "Knight, how many times have I told you? The two of us don't know each other so well, please don't use the title 'dear' to get close to it?"
Buna shrugged helplessly, pushed Russell behind him, and said, "This is the only candidate who has recently passed the selection of the Aphar Knight, his name is Russell, and I brought him to you today to register him!"
Volly turned her head to look at Russell, and her face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and she smiled: "Your Excellency Russell, welcome to join the Knights of the Cathar, please come with me, let's go to the room to register!"
With that, Wallly got up from her chair and walked into the room with a slight bow to Russell.
Buna muttered on the side, "What a world is so impermanent, seeing such a young and handsome young man ignoring my existence, alas, the original approachable young girl has now become like this!"
Russell also ignored Bunner, who was complaining, and followed Volly into the room, where he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to be with Buna.
Seeing that both of them were ignoring him, Buna stopped complaining and hurriedly followed Russell into the room.
By the time Buna walked into the room, Voli had already sorted out the relevant documents for registration and handed them to Russell.
Russell couldn't help but glance at Volly, she was able to sort out the relevant documents from complex documents in such a short time, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Wallie took out a quill and ink from the pen case and placed it on the table next to Russell, and said, "Your Excellency Russell, please fill in these registration documents carefully, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"
"Tut-tut! It's really like two people in peacetime!"
Buna held his chin and looked at Voli's reserved smile, and couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, Buner's words were once again glared at by Volly, and Russell smiled helplessly on the side, if Buna could control his mouth, maybe he would also be warmly entertained by Volly.
While Buna and Voli stood aside and vindicated, Russell filled in the information on the registration papers in turn.
His name and age could be filled in normally, but it wasn't until he filled in the address of his hometown that Russell was embarrassed to find that he couldn't answer at all.
Does he have to fill in the paperwork that his hometown is a border town of the Empire?
Russell reckoned that if he had filled in this answer, Volly would have thought that he had come to tease her on purpose.
This puts Russell in a dilemma: whatever he answers, Wally will think he is lying to her.
Volly, who was angry with Buna, noticed the embarrassment on Russell's face, and Volley walked up to Russell's side and asked with concern, "Your Excellency Russell, what's wrong with you? Why did you stop when you filled in the address of your hometown?"
"This 。。。。。。 Russell instinctively wanted to talk about his difficulties, but how could he explain to Volly that he didn't know how to fill in the address of his hometown?
Suddenly, Buna leaned over and said loudly to Russell, "Russell, isn't your hometown the town of Saila!
Russell glanced at Buhna in surprise, and it was clear to him that he was not a resident of the town of Saila.
Buna squeezed his eyes at Russell, and Russell immediately filled in the address of the town of Saila on the paper.
"Strange!"
Wallie looked at Russell in surprise, she looked back at Buna who was in a daze, and she had to think that she had made something wrong, and slowly sat back in her seat.
The next registration items Russell filled out quickly, and the rest were some basic identity registrations, as well as some instructions for the actions of the knights of the church, which was not a difficult task for Russell, and the entire registration process was completed in a few minutes.
After reviewing the documents, Volley picked up the documents and said to Russell, "Very well, Your Excellency Russell, you have officially become a knight in the Knights, and from now on you will become a member of the Church and contribute all your strength to spreading the teachings of the Goddess!"
Buna smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will introduce you to my men, and I will also award you with badges and equipment representing the Knights of the Cathars, we will be brothers and sisters from now on, and you are welcome to join the Knights!"
"That's right!" Buna suggested loudly, "To celebrate Russell's successful entry into the Knights of the Cathar, how about I invite Miss Wallie and Russell to dinner at the Rose Tavern?"
Unexpectedly, Voli refused Buna's invitation without hesitation,
"I'm sorry, I still have a lot of things to deal with today, so I won't have dinner with you, if there is nothing superfluous, please forgive me for leaving for the time being!"
After saying that, Volly walked outside, and suddenly Volley looked back at Russell and said, "If His Excellency Russell invited me to dinner alone, then I would have thought about it, and I can't say for sure!"
Then Wallly gave Russell a meaningful look and turned away.
"Alas, I'm really old, I used to be a beautiful man in the royal capital, and I can't look down on many aristocratic ladies who want to associate with me!"
Buna sat down dejectedly and said to himself.
Russell didn't believe in Buner's boasting about the past at all, but he could also feel the loneliness in Buna's heart.
Russell walked up to Buna with sympathy, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Today is the day I join the Knights, where can I treat you as a sir!
"Really? Great!"
Buna immediately looked up at Russell with bright eyes, and Russell saw his excited face and felt as if he had been deceived by Bunner's perfect acting skills.
By evening, most of the people in the temple had finished their work for the day, and left the temple in twos and threes, and Russell and Buna followed the crowd outside, towards the Rose Tavern.
It wasn't until Russell arrived at the Rose Tavern, which Buna had been obsessed with, that he realized why Buna had such a heart-wrenching look on his face when he mentioned that he was being treated here.
It turns out that the Rose Tavern is the most luxurious tavern near the temple, and judging by the size of its shop, it is not a place where ordinary people can come and dine casually.
"Since Russell you promised to have a treat, don't go back!"
Buna said as he eagerly walked into the Rose Tavern.
After Russell followed Buna into the tavern, he smelled the floral scent of roses, and Russell's whole body was immediately surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and the rich sweet fragrance was refreshing.
At this time, Russell suddenly realized that there were many roses planted everywhere in this tavern, no wonder this tavern had this name!
When the waiter at the door saw Russell and Buna coming in, he immediately judged the identities of the two, and walked up to him in a low voice: "Welcome to the Rose Tavern, I will find a comfortable seat for you!"
Russell was surprised and asked, "How do you know the identities of the two of us?
The waiter smiled and explained, "I judged by the posture of the adults and the pace of walking, this is close to the church temple, and the adults look very noble at a glance, so I can come to such a conclusion!"
Russell nodded silently at the waiter, this tavern must be unusual, even the waiter in the tavern has this kind of eyesight, and the tavern owner must be a great character!
The waiter chose a window seat for Russell and his wife, the view here is very good, you can see the temple on the side and the street scene on the side of the road, the right scenery and the refreshing fragrance of flowers, just make people's mood more joyful.
When the waiter brought out the menu, even Russell, who had the bounty, felt that the tavern's price was a bit exaggerated.
A glass of ordinary ale costs fifty silver coins, and a good meal costs one gold coin, and the price here should be affordable only for the nobility.
The waiter smiled and said after Russell ordered the wine and food: "Please wait a while, I will ask the chef to make the best food to entertain the two distinguished guests!"
After the waiter retreated, Russell looked at the pedestrians outside the window, and suddenly remembered Abel in the slum, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the price of a meal here can make the children in the slum have no worries about food and clothing for half a year!"
"What were you talking about?"
Buuna's mind was all about the wine, and he couldn't wait to drink the good wine of the Rose Tavern.
"Nothing!"
Russell smiled and talked about another topic,
"Buna, to tell you the truth, do you like Miss Volly?"
