Chapter 9: A Sense of Urgency
2500 year of the Magic Calendar, 20th year of Sydes III, April 22.
The weather is fine, and the magic benchmark is in the Immortal Throne, and the upper guard increases by one.
Everything.
William recruited five candidates for the Thornblade in Salvatore's estate, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming journey to the throne.
Two of the five candidate knights were gifted by Salvatore, and the other three were recruited by William himself.
Under his speech on "Extraordinary Perseverance", three people volunteered, led by Brayman Vandini.
When he left the manor, Salvatore had a mixed expression.
Even though William had already gotten into the carriage and left, he could not see the shadow of the carriage, and he was still standing at the door.
"Putting the impossible into practice is the true sign of extraordinary perseverance......"
"A true sign of extraordinary perseverance......"
"Is this your way of being a knight, Seventeenth Prince?" Salvatore's mind reappeared as William had spoken, firm, confident, and sincere, as if he were not soliciting knights, but preaching doctrine.
Of course, his results were also amazing, and three candidate knights took the initiative to follow, and also recited the knightly oath that could not be changed.
The oath is recited by the knight, and the sword is blessed by the lord.
In this way, the result cannot be changed, otherwise it will be spurned by all knights.
"It turns out that this is the real you, so deep hidden!"
Salvatore entered the manor with a long sigh, and he secretly guessed that if William had such a skill from beginning to end, he must have realized that he did not respect him enough in the first place.
In his understanding, William must have been in obscurity before.
If he hadn't been suddenly assigned to the Barron's Domain, he might have been hiding until his wings were full, and he would not have the first cry of an eagle.
"Three years without a sound, a blockbuster; If you don't fly for three years, you soar into the sky. ”
"In this regard... The teacher is not as good as the disciple. ”
After what happened just now, Salvatore always felt irritable and restless, so he simply drove away all the servants and practiced swords alone in the courtyard, and slowly, his mood finally calmed down.
……
Three days later, William finally waited for a rainy day.
In his plan, there are only two people who can provide extra help to his soon-to-be-received self. One of them was Salvatore, from whom William had successfully gotten wool.
The other one is troublesome, because in front of that person, there is no additional bonus to the status of the prince.
Fortunately, William knew that the man liked rainy days.
In the kingdom of Saidus, all the princes and daughters have two teachers, one is a sword teacher, who mainly teaches the way of knighthood. The other is a magic teacher, who naturally teaches about magic.
William is now looking for his magic teacher: Mr. Lambris.
Under the mage's tower, a carriage pulled up to the side of the road, and Thranie and a maid waited in the carriage.
Half an hour had passed since William had climbed the tower, and seeing that he hadn't come down yet, Serrani couldn't help but be a little bored. Looking at the endless stream of people in the streets, her heart throbbed and she wanted to let Tibbs out to play.
But she gave up in an instant.
Because William had told her that the situation in the royal capital was too complicated, and that it would be easy to cause trouble by letting Tiebs out, and that it would be good to wait until she went to Barron's Territory.
"What more mages, I'm not the best mage~"
"Lord Thranie, the prince has come down."
The maid had sharp eyes, saw William for the first time, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to greet him.
Climb aboard the carriage and drive back to the palace.
"How's it going, did it work?"
"It's a success, it's a failure......" William rubbed his eyebrows. Not only did he want to fool a few of his men with Lambris, but he also wanted to test his magical talents.
In his opinion, although his body is William's, his soul has changed, which may affect his magical talents.
After the test, Rembris just shook his head with a blank face. Unfortunately, William still has no talent for magic, in fact, it can't be said that he doesn't have it, he just isn't good enough.
Lambris's advice for this talent is: Just be a knight in peace, magic won't have anything to do with you.
As for the other target to recruit his henchmen, it was also a semi-failure.
The reason why it is said to be a failure is because Rembris directly rejected William's suggestion, and did not even give him a chance to show his eloquence.
The reason why it was a success was because Lambris told him that there was already a magic apprentice in the team sent by the king.
That's right, just an apprentice magician, not even a real magician.
William had nothing to do about it.
The disadvantages of the unfavored prince are manifested, as can be seen from the leadership team.
According to the practice of dividing the feuds, if the territory is in the barrenland, the kingdom will usually send a mage to follow. If the territory is rich or even powerful, the kingdom will send magic apprentices.
The reason is actually quite simple.
Being divided into the Barren Lands has two intrinsic meanings, first, that the prince is not favored, and second, that there are very few mages living in the Barrens.
Therefore, the king could only force a mage to help build the territory.
Being divided into a wealthy land also has two meanings, first, the prince is favored, and second, the prince has a background. So it's not uncommon for people to get the team's wool at all.
"What, that Lambris is so excessive, William, let me go and avenge you." Serranie was indignant.
"I'll burn that tower to the ground, and I'll have Tiebs tear him to shreds!"
"Haha, thank you, Serrane."
William smiled and rejected her suggestion, he couldn't come nonsense in the royal capital.
"Although Rumblis rejected me, I wasn't very angry. On the contrary, I pity him. ”
"If I missed today's opportunity, he will not be qualified to follow me in the future."
"This tower, give him a few more years."
Serranie nodded ignorantly, she didn't understand the meaning of William's words, but she didn't care, anyway, she would do whatever William asked her to do, and do whatever she wanted.
"William, when are we going to Barron?"
"It's coming, there are still ten days."
There are still more than ten days, and time flies so fast. William counted the time, and a sense of urgency welled up in his mind.
Once he left Barron's Territory, he had nothing to rely on. The only one who can rely on it is to rely on the heart of Origi, but in the face of the alien race of the wolf howling grassland, do you have time to wait until it matures?
In the royal capital, at least no one dared to murder him openly.
But the Barron Leader is different, the alien race dares to directly enter the lord's castle, and the previous lord is a lesson from the past.
There is also a threat from within the kingdom... So far, he has not found the killer of the original body. One thing is for sure, the man won't stop there.
With a thousand confusions, William breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes returned to indifference, and he muttered:
"Nothing can stop me."
