In addition, the contract itself is not permanent, but a three-year system, which means that Xavier can unilaterally terminate the contract after the expiration of the period, or retirement.

The monthly salary is fifteen crowns a month for the time being, which is definitely a high-paying position, although it is not as good as killing a water ghost, but you must know that fighting water ghosts is risky, and most of the people in Reston Village only have one or two water ghosts, and large-scale invasions like the last time are very rare.

As for the detachment commander, except for the occasional patrol, he spent most of his time in the barracks, and could easily get fifteen crowns.

Of course, this is in a non-war period, once the war spreads to this point, Xavier will most likely be sent to be cannon fodder, and this is the future that Barry and Lysha fear, but at the moment he is not too worried, as long as he can improve his strength as soon as possible, he will no longer need to be a lobster soldier.

Thinking of his bright future, Xavier couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, and then took a quill, signed his name on the contract, and officially became the horse monkey shochu, no, the captain of the garrison of Reston Village.

As for the other document, it is something like a certificate, and Xavier can prove that he belongs to the army of the Minoan Empire through the seal on it, which is a bit like Xavier's military ID card in his previous life.

After settling the administrative formalities, the baron reminded Xavier:

"Remember to keep those two documents, and if you accidentally lose them, report them to me as soon as possible! But try not to lose them, after all, there are a lot of formalities to write a report and a lot of formalities to replace....... It's annoying anyway. ”

Xavier, who was well aware of the efficiency of the administrative department, quickly nodded vigorously, indicating that he would not lose it, although he had said so before.

He was then taken by the baron to a warehouse with all sorts of equipment, not all kinds, but only five of them, bows and arrows, armor, spears, steel swords, and silver swords.

The baron had Xavier put on his armor, a silver sword, and a bow and arrow, and led him to a clearing.

"A knight should be proficient in all weapons. The baron said to Xavier, "Your swordsmanship is good, but what about the other weapons?" ”

Immediately, he pointed to a target in the distance and asked Xavier to test it out.

For a while, Xavier was a little speechless, in the past few days, he has gained a lot of confidence in his own swordsmanship through continuous practice, but he really doesn't know anything about bows and arrows!

Calm down....... Xavier tried to find memories of archery among the memory fragments, but without the adrenaline boost, these memories didn't seem to fit into his soul at all.

There is no way at this time, Xavier has no choice but to be a dead horse and a horse doctor, after all, he still learned bows and arrows for a while in college in his previous life, although he gave up after learning a few lessons, but he still has a little impression of the specific bow holding posture.

However, there is always a gap between imagination and reality, the mind thinks that it can does not mean that the hand feels that it can, and the final accuracy is naturally very outrageous, and only one of the ten arrows is in the target, not the bull's-eye, but the arrow target, which makes Xavier look a little embarrassed.

"Xavier, you haven't studied archery, have you?"

"Not really. Xavier said as he wiped his cold sweat.

"Haha, no wonder you shoot like a child, but don't be discouraged, no one is born a sharpshooter. The baron did not laugh at Xavier's ugliness, but encouraged him, "As long as you practice more in the future, I believe that your archery skills will be as amazing as your swordsmanship." ”

Subsequently, the captain personally demonstrated to Xavier how to hold the bow and how to practice, and personally tested the shot many times, shooting quickly and accurately.

Fifty meters away, the Baron was able to hit the bull's-eye thirty-three times out of thirty-six arrows, which meant that he only made three small mistakes, so Xavier just wanted to hide his face and escape.

"I'm not very good. The baron said something that made Xavier want to vomit blood, and then added, "Little Hannah often hits the bull's-eye with thirty-six arrows, and most of the time there are only one or two mistakes under sixty arrows." ”

Miss Hannah, she's an archer...... Before, Xavier wondered why a harmless girl could become the captain of the detachment, but now he seemed to understand a little.

"Originally, I shouldn't have asked too much of you, but as a team leader, you must at least have a certain level of archery, eh...... Thirty-six arrows must hit the bullseye thirty times. ”

Looking at the pitifully small dot in the distance, Xavier couldn't help but smile bitterly, and even wanted to ask if he was kidding himself, but looking at the captain's serious expression, he took the sentence back.

After a few hours of hellish training, Xavier gradually mastered the basic skills of holding a bow, and his archery skills have also been improved to a certain extent, at least he will not even miss the arrow target, and correspondingly, his hands have long been so sore that he can't lift them, and it can really be said that he can't lift them.

Seeing Xavier's miserable situation, the baron couldn't help but think of the process of being trained when he was a child, but he was not a sick person, and after seeing that Xavier really couldn't survive, he immediately stopped training, let him rest by himself, and encouraged him at the same time.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't be afraid, face it with a smile! Persistence is victory!"

"Huh. Xavier forced a smile and replied like he had promised his teacher when he was a child, "I'll do my best." ”

~~~~~~

Evening.

With the exception of a few comrades on the night shift, most of the soldiers had already completed their day's duties, returned to the barracks, laid down their weapons, took off their armor, and collapsed slightly loosely to rest.

Among them, those who are familiar with each other naturally get together to talk nonsense, scold the king for how incompetent, and talk about the beauties of the next village, and the hours will pass quickly.

The only fly in the ointment is that alcohol is forbidden in the barracks, and the only exceptions are three days, which are New Year's, the king's birthday, and the national day, but that's another story.

Seeing that most of the people had already arrived, the Baron planned to ask Xavier to give everyone a familiar face and briefly introduce the new detachment leader.

In this way, a simple self-introduction was over, and everyone clapped their hands very facelessly, and then heard the captain ask, "Then Xavier will become the second detachment leader of the garrison in Reston Village, do you have any objections?"

Then, someone actually raised their hand.

"I disagree!" he said.
