"Alice!"

Vera looked at the doll above Roy's head and hurriedly beckoned to her, "Don't be so rude to Mr. Roy, come back quickly!" ”

However, Alice had an attitude of not listening to the monk's chanting, she sat on Roy's head, and even waved her feet.

Leather boots the size of fingernails tapped on Roy's head one by one, not only did it not hurt, but it itched a little.

"I don't mind, Your Highness."

Roy smiled, "Staying with Miss Alice, there is always a feeling of playing with children, and it's quite fresh." ”

High emotional intelligence: Play with children.

Low EQ: naïve.

Vera burst out laughing, and Alice's embarrassed voice sounded in their heads: "What a laugh!" ”

She couldn't sit down anymore when she was teased like this, so she stood up and stomped Roy's head and feet hard, then floated back onto Vera's shoulder.

Vera covered her mouth and stopped laughing, then bowed slightly to Roy and said seriously:

"Thank you again, then, for being my friend and the Imperial Knight, Mr. Roy, and I will have to ask you for a lot of things in the future."

Roy also saluted: "Since we are friends, then call my name directly, and please take care of me in the future, Your Highness." ”

The Former Knight's ring has been worn, the greeting has been completed, and even if he has not yet been officially awarded the medal at the ceremony, he has now become a Former Knight.

"Actually, you need to meet someone other than us today."

Vera blinked and said mysteriously.

Roy's heart moved: "Could it be...... Her Highness Shireen? ”

"I guessed wrong, but ...... It's close. ”

Vera clapped her hands, "Please come in, Mr. d'Artagnan." ”

As the words fell, the door on the master's side of the study was opened, and a blonde young man walked in.

He was about 1.75 meters tall, of medium height, with long blond hair tied back in small braids, and looked about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a handsome face.

Like Roy, he also wears a space ring engraved with a Pudia flower on his hand, wearing a red, white, and gold uniform, and a red one-shoulder cloak on his left shoulder, which looks very chic.

"D'Artagnan Bourbon, he is the last Knight of His Mother, and before you joined, he was the youngest current Knight of Sidney.

"Like you, he's a lawyer."

Vera introduces Roy to the blonde young man, and then introduces Roy to him.

"Roy Arnold, who is the captain of the winning team of this year's "Freshman Competition" and the lawmaker of Apophis, the sword of law-

"Of course, now he has a new identity, which is my chief imperial knight."

Glancing at d'Artagnan, Roy nodded politely and said, "Hello, Lord d'Artagnan." ”

Now, like Arya, he can be regarded as stepping into the "workplace" of Sidney, and handling interpersonal relationships with his predecessors is the basic skill of a "social animal".

However, this senior knight didn't seem to be as difficult to contact as he thought.

d'Artagnan walked over, patted Roy on the shoulder very aggressively, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Don't be so outlooked, Roy, we will be colleagues in the future, just call me by my name." ”

"Colleague?" Roy shook his hand and looked at Vera.

D'Artagnan is the current Knight of the Saint Shireen, and when Shireen abdicates early next year, her team of Knight Guards will be disbanded.

Could it be ......

Vera nodded, explaining, "Mister d'Artagnan is only twenty-five years old this year, and the last of them to become a knight of his mother's majesty.

"So after my mother's abdication this year, he will stay here and continue to contribute to Sidney as my former knight."

It turned out that he was still a veteran of the two dynasties.

Roy was surprised, and then asked, "In that case, why don't you let D'Artagnan's predecessor be the chief royal knight of His Highness?" He has more experience and quality than me. ”

"Haha, you're getting it wrong, Roy."

D'Artagnan shook his head and smiled, "You haven't graduated from the Inheritor Academy yet, and you have your own things to do, and you can't devote yourself to the work of the Imperial Knight.

"And I'm here to take over the gap when you're gone. After all, by His Highness's side, there must be Templar Knights on standby at any time! ”

Hearing him say this, Roy couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and Vera answered: "Although Mr. d'Artagnan is young, he already has seven years of experience as a royal knight.

"With two months to go until the Apocalypse festival early next year, Mr. d'Artagnan will personally familiarize you with the environment and work processes before the official award."

Seven years? Roy was slightly stunned.

Doesn't that mean that d'Artagnan became a knight of His Royal Highness Shireen at the age of eighteen?

However, Vera mentioned in the introduction that d'Artagnan was also a lawyer, so it is not surprising that he can have this resume.

And when he is awarded the medal next year, he will achieve the record of "becoming a knight at the age of sixteen", and according to Des Moines, he will be the youngest knight in the history of Sidney.

"Then, Roy will leave it to you in this time, Mr. d'Artagnan."

Vera nodded at d'Artagnan, "We are both lawyers, I hope you will have more common topics and can get along more happily." ”

"As His Highness wishes." D'Artagnan made a knightly salute to Verari.

Roy bowed in the same way, and the two of them said goodbye to Vera and left the study.

d'Artagnan seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little song as he walked, and Roy walked side by side with him, greeting him again:

"D'Artagnan senior, I will trouble you to take me to familiarize myself with the work during this time."

"Well said." D'Artagnan replied kindly, "We are not much different in age, but about ten years old, don't be so restrained, make me uncomfortable." ”

Ten years old shouldn't be a big difference, right? Roy complained in his heart.

D'Artagnan was reminded that it seemed to be true, d'Artagnan was twenty-five years old, and he was only fifteen years old this year, and the age gap on paper was as much as ten years.

It's just that the second is a human being, and Roy's style of acting is not at all like that of a fifteen-year-old.

D'Artagnan is also easy-going, without the slightest bit of his predecessors, which makes him look like his peers.

As if to see Roy's inner thoughts, d'Artagnan explained, "You should know that the current Highness Shireen is almost sixty years old, right? ”

Roy nodded.

"Her Royal Highness Shireen succeeded her as a saint at the age of twenty-two, and has reigned for nearly thirty-eight years, during which time Her Highness canonized a total of seven royal knights."

D'Artagnan smiled, "I am the seventh Imperial Knight, and when I joined His Highness Shireen, the seniors of my age were fifteen years older than me. ”

Roy: "......"

What a knight of the elderly!

However, for high-level inheritors, even if they are only sixty years old, they are still in the prime of life.

It is precisely because of this that the inheritors do not judge their strength and seniority based on age.

"Okay." Roy changed the subject, "I heard from Your Highness that you are also a lawyer, can you ask which law instrument you are using?" ”

Now that we're colleagues, it shouldn't be abrupt to ask this question.

"You said the Ritsu Sword 'Mejia'."

D'Artagnan was even more cheerful than he had imagined, he took out a long sword from the spatial ring, and threw it to Roy.

"Well, that's it."

Roy quickly took the sword and looked at it carefully.

Naive.

True, his first impression of the sword was simplicity.

Whether it's Arya's Ritsu sword Jovayus, or his Ritsu sword Apophis, both of these swords are different from ordinary ones in appearance.

Joyeuse's sword is like autumn water, changing color over time.

The black and gold paint of Apophis's sword body, sword grid, and hilt is also very individual, and the surface is even more purple-black.

It can be said that the "appearance effects" of these two legal swords are full, but this legal sword Mejía is not like this.

It looked like an ordinary sword: a black hilt, a bronze head and grid, and a silvery-white blade—

It's not that it's not good-looking, it's just that the shape is too bad, and it seems that any blacksmith in Sidenia can imitate this sword.

No "special effects" are like this.

"What is the origin of this sword?" Roy asked curiously.

Weapons can't be disguised, and if you're qualified to be a law weapon, you have to have two brushes.

"Mejía, also known as the sword of heroes, the sword of despair."

D'Artagnan replied, "Speaking of which, it has a lot to do with your Apophis.

"When the Demon King led the demon army to the city, a group of legal envoys set a trap to ambush the Demon King, and finally worked together to kill him.

"And the hero who gave the Demon King the final blow is the former master of the Ritsu Sword Mejia.

"Not only that, but each owner of this sword has made a name in history and made outstanding contributions to Sidney, hence the nickname of the Hero's Sword."

As he spoke, his eyes deepened: "I didn't expect that my colleague would actually be the lawmaker of the magic sword Apophis, and my encounter with you may really be arranged by fate."

"By the way, I'm from the Bourbon family, and the Zorn you once defeated in the ring is my nephew, so it seems that we ...... It's really fateful. ”

Roy's face froze.

The cause and effect of hundreds of years ago are intertwined with the grievances of a few days ago, which is enough to write a magnificent battle of fate.

He hesitated for a moment, then pointed a finger at himself, "I...... Are you going to be bullied in the workplace? ”

"Hahaha, you're really interesting."

D'Artagnan laughed, "I'm kidding you, who would take this bloody plot seriously, I'm already past the age of the second year of secondary school!"

"If nothing else, I've long seen that Zorn kid is unhappy, he is too arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't have a good face for anyone at home, and he really lacks a realistic beating.

"You played well, you played well!"

Roy: "......"

At a glance, it is true, and it is identified as a pro-uncle.

D'Artagnan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes before continuing: "Are you wondering why this sword looks so ordinary? ”

Roy nodded.

"The effect of a ritual can generally be roughly reflected in its nickname."

D'Artagnan took the sword of law, Mejia, "Mejía's alias is the Sword of Despair, which sums up its abilities well-

"It is only when the user is in a desperate situation, facing an enemy several times more powerful than itself, that it awakens and manifests its true power.

"And if it's not activated, it's just an ordinary longsword.

"Of course, at least it's not like a normal longsword and won't break easily, but that's about it, you can't expect it to be of much use."

Roy muttered, "Generally speaking, the greater the restriction, the stronger the ability, after Mejia awakens, it should become particularly powerful, right?" ”

After all, it was the heroic sword that gave the demon king a fatal blow, how could it be so unbearable?

"Perhaps."

d'Artagnan shrugged his shoulders and withdrew the Ritsu Sword Mejía from the Spatial Ring, "But I've never seen this sword awaken to it. ”

"Not once?"

"Not once."

He sighed, "In an attempt to awaken Mejia, I once went deep into the high-level world to fight across the ranks, and was ravaged by those powerful enemies and almost died, and I still remember the feeling of suffocation and fear that I was dying.

"But even so, I didn't succeed in awakening Mejía, so much so that for a long time I wondered if I hadn't become its master.

"So I went to investigate the information of the previous masters of Mejía, and finally found one thing in common......

D'Artagnan rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly: "None of the previous masters of Mejía have lived past the age of thirty. ”

Roy was silent as well.

He couldn't take that.

"Maybe that's the price it takes to be a hero, Mejía does have great power, but when it awakens, it's also when its bearer dies."

D'Artagnan shook his head: "I don't know why this sword chose me, but after deducing the truth, I have already made my own decision. ”

He clenched his fists and sneered, "I hate the so-called fate, I don't want to be a hero, Roy, you know, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it-

"I just wanted to enjoy a comfortable life, and I became the royal knight of His Highness in the first place!"

Indeed, Her Highness herself will not appear on the dangerous battlefield, and her royal knights will be at her side, and there will naturally not be much danger in the city of Sidnia.

If you want to enjoy life, becoming a knight is indeed a good choice.

However, although everyone has their own ideas, is it really okay for you to instill this kind of work attitude to the juniors you meet for the first time?

Roy smiled awkwardly but politely.

"So when Her Highness Shireen asked me if I would like to be the chief royal knight of Her Highness Vera, I immediately refused."

D'Artagnan spread his hands, "The chief has a lot of things to deal with, and with my temperament, I definitely can't do it."

"So that's it, Roy, and I'll help you get acquainted with the work of the Imperial Knight for the next two months. After that, sort of do me a favor, please when I don't exist.

"It's also good for you, I won't compete with you for power, and I won't deliberately show myself in front of His Highness Vera, you will become His Highness's closest and most trusted knight."

The two chatted as they came to the door of the Ellan Mansion.

D'Artagnan then got into a carriage that had been waiting at the door for a long time, waved at Roy, and said with a smile:

"Goodbye then, Roy, I look forward to your future growth!"

"Didn't you say you were going to take me to get acquainted with the work?" Roy shouted at his back.

d'Artagnan looked back and smiled: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, what's the hurry." So seriously, His Royal Highness won't give you a salary increase, right? ”

With that, he got into the carriage, and the carriage started slowly.

There was a faint sound of women's laughter in the carriage.

Roy scratched his head as he looked at the back of the carriage in the distance.

Is this what a social animal with seven years of work experience teaches to his juniors?

Thank you d'Artagnan seniors, I have fully learned.
