A letter of contract, quickly signed with the signature of the Grand Knight Hobson, was delivered to Raymond.

Although the terms are simple, they represent a kind of responsibility.

A contract similar to an adoption contract means that the signatory will have the responsibilities of being a parent to a six-year-old girl named Stacy.

Give her security, take care of her development, and provide the conditions that are appropriate for her needs, so that she can get the care she deserves before she becomes an adult.

Raymond, who was holding the book of contracts in his hand, was a little moved when he saw the conditions that Hobson was willing to pay in exchange for these things.

"Follower's Oath"!

According to the Grand Knight Hobson, as long as Raymond is willing to accept the signing of this contract with him and satisfies his conditions, so that his only granddaughter Stacy can be safe until she reaches adulthood, then he will give his "Follower Oath" and become Raymond's follower.

Carefully examining the book in his hand, after making sure that there were no traps on it, Raymond couldn't help but ask questions. "For what?"

Hobson, who had always maintained a humble attitude, smiled wryly with a wrinkled face. "I'm getting older, and I guess I have a few years to live at most, but my only granddaughter can't live without a future, so ......"

Hobson, the great knight with apprehension and expectation, did not finish his sentence, and showed his attitude with his actions, and now the power of choice was in Raymond's hands.

Raymond, who was not in a hurry to make a decision, flashed red dots in his pupils, and searched the microchip's database for information about the "Follower's Oath".

Soon some relevant information appeared in Raymond's sight, looking at the descriptions such as 'absolute loyalty' and 'sworn to the death', Raymond understood that this was a one-sided allegiance contract, and in addition to death. There is no right or opportunity to repent.

After groaning for a long time, he fell into the silence of the mountain road, only the sound of the wind was whimpering, and Raymond, who frowned, finally signed his name in the book of contracts.

With Raymond's signature, the Book of Contracts turned into ashes in his hands, forming two obscure lines of contract power, which shot into Raymond and Hobson's bodies respectively, and the effect of the Book of Contracts will make both parties bound by the power of the contract after Hobson dedicates his "Follower's Oath".

Excitement appeared on his face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes. Then, from under the skin in the center of the archival knight's eyebrows, a shining point of light slowly emerged.

Hobson, whose expression was a little painful and trembling all over, gradually condensed a ball of light the size of a grain of rice from the center of his eyebrows, which was held in his hands by the great knight Hobson. Delivered to Raymond.

It's a glowing mass of soft brilliance, a "Follower's Oath" that only a Grand Knight can give!

This must be done on the complete voluntariness of the Grand Knight himself. to be able to be consecrated the "Follower's Oath". In fact, it is an unconditional oath of obedience, and the recipient will become the master of the devotee.

A unilateral oath represents a kind of trust, a powerful constraint that can make the devotee die with a smile.

There was sadness in his eyes, but there was still a hint of relief, looking at the great knight Hobson who seemed to have fallen into memory. Raymond directly taped Hobson's "Follower's Oath" to his forehead.

It was as if a drop of ice water melted into his skin, and with that faint feeling of coolness, Raymond seemed to have a feeling that it was Hobson, a great knight kneeling in front of him. Everything about him can be mastered.

Raymond, who patted Hobson on the shoulder and helped him stand up, understood that this person would be his most loyal follower in the future, and Raymond's safety would become the only issue he needed to worry about, even if he needed to die, he would face death with enthusiasm.

Rather than rushing to inquire about Hobson's past, Raymond first asked about his granddaughter. "How long will it take for you to pick her up, do you need me to come with you?"

Shaking his head, Hobson replied very respectfully. "Back to my lord, I can take her back with me in about five hourglasses, and I can go alone. ”

After a little calculation, Raymond knew that Hobson should be able to arrive before sunset, so he simply asked the gray dwarves to find a place around here and start camping, ready for Hobson and his granddaughter.

Camping in advance is undesirable for the gray dwarves who have just experienced a fright.

Although the gray dwarf Iron Head could not hear these conversations with Hobson clearly, the book of contracts that the great knight Hobson took out, as well as the special signs of the "Follower's Oath", still let the shrewd and intelligent gray dwarf see it.

Looking at the envious eyes of the iron head, Raymond knew that Hobson, the great knight of the Dao, must have something unspeakable, and his body must not be able to wait for his granddaughter to become an adult.

Raymond was not interested in meditating again in the next few hours without communicating with Hobson, but arranged for the gray dwarves of Iron Head to prepare a bonfire and a sumptuous dinner, and waited patiently.

Rigor and honesty are a must for knights.

Sure enough, before the time reached five hourglasses, a figure appeared on the mountain road from the distance of the mountain road.

Raymond, who was frowning, stood up, and before the figure could approach the camp, Raymond could see his condition clearly.

The armor on his body was gone, and the weapon on his waist was gone.

Hobson, who was wearing only an ordinary robe, and a little girl in his arms, soon came to the camp, but the kind in his eyebrows was filled with joy and excitement, and a little relief.

Waiting, Hobson, who quickly entered the camp, had sweat on his forehead, but Raymond, who stopped him from saluting, took the little girl in Hobson's arms first.

The round little face is still a little baby fat, and the silhouette looks like the big knight Hobson.

The thin, somewhat delicate little girl Stacy still had a smile on her face, and it seemed that she was immersed in a sweet dream, and the index finger of her right hand was still stuffed in her mouth.

Let the gray dwarf Tiezhu carry little Stacy into Raymond's carriage to rest, and pull the great knight Hobson to sit on Raymond's side, quietly waiting for his explanation.

"I can't help it," said the Great Knight Hobson as if he was in a painful memory, panic on his face. "My body won't be able to sustain me for a few years, and I won't be able ......to close my eyes if I can't arrange everything for little Stacy before I die." )
