Lu Ming trotted all the way to the hall, and when he saw Allen, he immediately said excitedly:

"Grandpa Allen, what's going on? A man named Syrul is going to be my knight!"

Alan smiled and said, "So you have seen him, let him be your knight, and protect you is my decision." ”

Lu Ming was even more surprised, "Your decision, why is this?"

Still smiling, Ai Lu replied, "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." Come, find a chair and sit down. ”

"Didn't you keep clamoring for me to teach you how to be a strong warrior? ”

At this point, Alan paused, as if considering the language.

"Now I'll tell you why, and there are two reasons. One is that people's strength comes from their hearts. If you don't understand the common sense of this world, and don't understand the culture of this world, then even if you get the power here, you will not be able to master it proficiently, and it will be even more difficult to get closer. ”

Seeing Lu Ming thinking about it, Alan was silent again for a while and did not continue to speak.

"As for the other reason...", Alan seemed to recall some of the past.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "I have three apprentices, each of them is very good, and the strength of the Holy Mountain is constantly increasing, but some opponents can't sit still. Five years ago, I fought an old fellow in a duel at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and unfortunately lost. According to the gambling contract, I can't accept another apprentice in my life. ”

Seeing that Alan was a little depressed, Lu Ming said comfortingly: "Isn't it just that you lost once, how can people always be winners, Grandpa Allen, don't be sad." ”

"Stinky boy, I'm not sad, I'm telling you why I can't teach you. ”

The relationship between the two has improved a lot.

Lu Ming was puzzled: "But you haven't told me about Xiliuer yet?"

Alan huffed and continued, "I wasn't about to say it, and then you interrupted me. I'm going to send you to Hardy Academy, where there are orthodox learning methods, excellent teachers, and excellent resources. ”

Hardy Academy is located in Hardy City, the capital of the Gru Empire, and if you don't use the magic teleportation array, you would have to cross nearly half of the Gru Empire from the Holy Mountain to Hadi City, which is a long way.

"I wish you could walk along the road so you can get to know the world faster. But the journey was too long, it took almost two months to walk, and although there were no dangerous places on the road, I was worried that one person would not be safe, so I asked Syruel to protect you. ”

Lu Ming still didn't quite understand, "But why should Syrue be my knight? Isn't it a nobleman to have his own knight?"

"The knight you are talking about represents a position, requires imperial canonization, elaborate ceremonies, solemn masses, and solemn oaths. For us warriors, the knight means that henceforth we must be the master of the oath of the object, always put the master first, protect his safety, do our best to achieve his goals, and gain glory from the battles in the process. Alan said word by word.

"Master, but I still don't understand, why should I be his master?" Lu Ming asked.

Alan patiently replied: "A true knight will not break his oath, will not betray his master, has absolute loyalty, your safety is very important, as for why it matters, you will know later." ”

Lu Ming had no choice but to silently stop asking, and Alan immediately said something that shocked Lu Ming.

"I'm going to have you leave for Hardy Academy tomorrow. On the way, you can ask Syrul some questions about his practice, he is my proud disciple. ”

"It's too sudden. Lu Ming couldn't help but complain.

Early the next morning, somewhere at the bottom of the mountain leading to the holy mountain, stood four people gathered together, Lu Ming, Syruel, Allen, and Andrea.

The four of them stood on a path surrounded by unadorned weeds and unknown wildflowers, which didn't look like a path to the temple at all, but when you looked up, the ancient temple was right in front of you.

There were only four people in this farewell, and it seemed that not many people knew Lu Ming's identity under Allen's deliberate arrangement.

Alan looked at the young man in front of him who had been with him for a year, as well as his proud disciple, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

"Go now, I've already told Siliul about something, and he'll tell you the details. ”

Lu Ming's eyes became moist, and he choked up: "Then let's go, you have to treat Sister Andrea well, Sister Andrea, you also have to take good care of Old Allen." ”

Andrea showed reluctance in her eyes, glanced at Alan next to her, and said softly, "I will." ”

Alan didn't say anything more to Syruel, and the two had a tacit understanding for many years.

So the two young men set out on their way down the mountain, leaving only Alan and Andrea.

Alan looked up at the sky and said softly, "It seems that the goddess sees that I am not too old, let me do something more." ”

"Of course you're not old. Andrea looked tenderly at Alan's white hair, and she didn't use honorifics.

Lu Ming was really reluctant to leave with Allen, the second person he met when he came to the other world, spent a long year with him, teaching himself various languages, telling various histories and legends, discussing the culture here, he has always been amiable, and sometimes he looks like an old child, looking very cute.

So when going down the mountain, Lu Ming kept his head hanging very low, and Xiliuer was silent and didn't speak. Despite all his experiences, faith and vows kept him at peace.

The two of them came to the city of the earth at the foot of the mountain. The city of the earth is said to have existed for a long time. I don't know how many times it has been renovated, but the wall looks a little dilapidated at this time, and it seems that the wall will be renovated for the next time in a few years.

The small size of the city is related to the fact that the Holy Mountain has always had a policy of not being in contention with the world, and most of the inhabitants of the city are believers in the goddess of the earth, so the city is actually the territory of the Holy Mountain, but it is planned under the territory of the Gelug Empire.

There is also a dark temple in the territory of the Gru Empire, and the corresponding other temple of light is in the territory of the Duchy of Thane, which has a temple but is not allowed to build a city, nor is it allowed to develop cults in the Zeal Continent, which is a problem left over from the war of the gods.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the gods fought for their followers, and a war broke out between the three main gods, the goddess of the earth, the god of light, and the god of darkness.

Later, even other gods who did not have human followers were involved, and the peace-loving goddess of nature, the god of war who admired battle, and the proud and powerful dragon god were involved one after another.

The final result is that all the gods are wiped out, but among them, the gods of light, darkness, and dragons are the least damaged, and there are still several archangels, demon kings, and dragon kings, which are the most powerful titles besides gods.

The power of the Earth Goddess, the Goddess of Nature, and the God of War no longer has the corresponding power, and the inheritance has been broken, and the three gods use their last power to join forces to seal the Zexin Continent, and any alien creature that comes to the Zexin Continent will be weakened, and the stronger it is, the more serious the weakening will be.

The elves who believe in the goddess of nature have stayed in the Continent of Zeal, living in a place called the Great Forest of Curtis, in the Duchy of Thane.

The orcs who believe in the god of war also remain in the Passion Continent, living in a place called the Solo Desert, which belongs to the Gru Empire.

The angel clan who believe in the god of light has stayed in the Fila Continent and is the ruler of the Fila Continent.

The demon clan who believed in the god of darkness stayed in the Chio continent and were the rulers of the Chio continent.

The dragon clan, who believed in the dragon god, stayed in the Meisha Continent and ruled the Meisha Continent.

It has the largest number and the strongest comprehensive strength is the human race, except for the arrogant dragon clan under the rule of the human race, the main body on the remaining three continents is the human race.

But because of this, it was difficult for the Terrans to unite, and the Zeal Continent alone was divided into three empires and four principalities, with a total of seven plates.

The division of the Zeal Continent may have something to do with the fact that the Earth Goddess Temple does not have absolute power to rule.

...

Lu Ming took Syrue to a tavern called "Mountains", he secretly ran down the mountain several times in the year, and he was quite familiar with this place.

As soon as Lu Ming pushed open the door of the tavern, he shouted loudly, "Sister Vivier, I'm coming to see you!"

A little Lori, who was about twelve years old and less than the height of Lu Ming's shoulder, ran over in surprise.

"Brother Lu Ming?"

Vivier was dressed as a maid, her hair was dull, and even split ends could be seen at the end of her hair, and there were cute little freckles on her undeveloped face.

At this time, there were only two guests in the tavern, Lu Ming and Siliuer, who were extremely deserted, and in Lu Ming's impression, the business of this tavern had always been bad.

"Get me two glasses of ale, Sister Vivier. Lu Ming said to Wei Wei with a smile.

Wei'er pouted slightly, and complained a little: "It's so stingy, every time I come, I just drink ale." ”

Disgusted and disgusted, she still ran happily to the backstage.

After a while, Vivier brought two bottles of ale to the table, followed by a man and a woman.

Both of them are in their thirties, the man is ordinary-looking, neatly combed with short mature brown hair, and has an inch-long scar on his right eye, fortunately it did not hurt his eyes, revealing a calm breath.

The woman looks relatively beautiful, with a special temperament, with long golden hair scattered at random on the back of her head, and wearing a black dress that ordinary people have, looking dignified. When she saw Siliure, her body was shocked, and she quickly returned to normal.

The man stopped and said to Lu Ming, "Hello, I'm Clark." Vivier's father, I've heard Vivier talk about you for a long time. ”

Lu Ming hurriedly got up and saluted. Siliul also stood up, and his faint gaze swept towards the two of them, lingering on the woman's body for a few more moments.

Then the five of them sat down and talked, it turned out that Clark was a mercenary in his early years, did some dangerous missions, and also suffered some injuries, so after he made a lot of money, he decided not to work as a mercenary, and then came to his hometown of the city of the earth, where he opened a tavern.

Here he met Vivier's mother, Robin, and the two fell in love, giving birth to Vivier in their third year of marriage.

It's a pity that the tavern business has deteriorated in the past two years, because three years ago, one of the three major chambers of commerce, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, built a commercial street in the west of the city, which is very prosperous, and many residents in this neighborhood have moved there, so fewer and fewer people come here.

They also want to move in, but they don't have enough money, and the family has a sad look on their faces when they talk about it.

Lu Ming told them that he was going to practice at the Hardy Academy, and that Siliuer next to him was his friend, and he was going to go with him, and he might not come back for a long time, so he came here to say goodbye.

Later, the Clarkes had left, and Weiwei also returned to the backstage to tidy up the wine utensils, and only Lu Ming and Siliuer were left on the table.

"How much money do we have?" Lu Ming asked.

Siliul took a bag from his waist and placed it on the table, and replied, "That's all I have with me, my lord." ”

Hearing the word "adult", Lu Ming frowned, the two were about the same age, so it was a little awkward, and he was originally an ordinary hunter, not an "adult".

"I think we're about the same age, and you're old Allen's apprentice, so you should be strong, so you don't need to call me 'sir'. ”

Siliul replied blandly: "My lord, this is the basic ethics of a knight, and you must always maintain a minimum of respect for your lordship. ”

Lu Ming was a little angry at Syru's insistence, "Why are you so rigid when you are not very old, doesn't the knight have to obey the wishes of the adults, so I said that this is an order?"

Syrul was silent, his eyes flashing with a hint of strangeness, and he replied softly, "I understand." ”

Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing he could do about this indifferent young companion. Let's get along slowly in the future, he thought to himself.

The money bag was heavy, and when I opened it, I found that it was full of gold coins, about forty or fifty pieces, enough to buy two such tavern Lu.

Knowing the value of the gold coin, Lu Ming picked up three of them, then tightened his money bag, handed two to Syruel, and kept one for himself.

The two said hello backstage and left the hotel, Lu Ming knew that Vivier would soon come over to clean up the table, and then he would find the bag of gold coins left on the table.

Syrul reacted to this very flatly, he had no concept of money, and even he had never put his mind on money in his life.

On the thirty-third day of Lu Ming's arrival in this world, he came to this tavern, and Wei Weier received him, and Xiao Wei Weier felt that Lu Ming, who was stammering, was very interesting, so she gave Lu Ming a glass of ale wine for free.

Lu Ming could imagine the cute appearance of Wei'er who was surprised when he saw the gold coin, and couldn't help laughing, and rushed to the horse market with Syruer.
