That night, Ruo Lin did not go far. She took the bull-like warrior and the archer and wandered around the town for a long time. Although the two subordinates thought that they should leave this unlucky place as soon as possible, Ruo Lin seemed to have other plans in mind. Her eyes revealed a kind of hesitation, a kind of hesitation … With such an expression, she hugged her knees and sat there, looking at the moon for the whole night.
Early the next morning, Du Wei's group set off. But this time, there was an additional bull-cart behind the convoy. Inside the cart was the magician who was tied up like a dumpling. The poor magician looked tired and his whole body was wet. This was because Du Wei's subordinate, Knight, had completed the task given to him by Du Wei: Every once in a while, he would pour a bucket of cold water on the magician. He would never let the magician have any chance to sleep or meditate to recover his mental strength!
Master Du Wei still followed his habit. After the journey, he held a thick book and sat in the carriage to read. It seemed that he had an extremely strong interest in reading.
When the well-made carriage was moving, even on the bumpy road, there were almost no bumps. Du Wei was very comfortable lying on the soft and thick velvet blanket. His body curled up into a ball, reading and thinking … But soon, he was interrupted.
Someone knocked on the window, and then Mard's slightly embarrassed voice came: "Young master … This, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something."
Du Wei opened the window and saw Mard's frowning face. Mard rode a horse today. He urged the horse to ride side by side with the carriage. He bowed on the horse and said: "Young master, those guys in the tavern yesterday, they have been following behind us …"
Du Wei was slightly startled. He poked his head out and looked behind him. Sure enough, behind them, about a hundred steps away, was the long-legged girl from the tavern yesterday with her two subordinates, a bull-like warrior, and the archer. A total of three horses were following them from a distance.
Outside the carriage, the other Rollin Family's guards, Knight, saw this scene. Every one of them seemed to have an ambiguous expression, and the corners of their mouths held back a smile.
Yesterday … that chick came out from the little master's room … could it be that the little master had successfully conquered that chick? That chick fell in love with the little master and was reluctant to leave? Haha …
However, the Knight still didn't dare to show the slightest ridicule in front of their master.
Du Wei pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Stop the car. Go and call that girl over. "
Ruo Lin had been following Du Wei's convoy from afar for the entire morning. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't even understand why she was following them.
Could it be that she was worried about the poor magician who was taken away? That didn't seem to be the case. Ruo Lin didn't care about that guy's life or death.
Suddenly, the carriages in front of them stopped. Then they saw two knights riding their horses quickly towards them.
"Miss, our master wants to see you. Please go over."
Because he considered that the long-legged girl in front of him might have "an affair" with his little master, the Knight's tone was a lot more polite.
Ruo Lin was a little dazed. She nodded and subconsciously urged her horse to follow. Her two companions behind her were a little puzzled and worried, but they still followed.
"Why are you following me?" Du Wei didn't even get down from the carriage. He just opened the door and sat inside the carriage. He looked at the girl who rode the horse in front of him.
Ruo Lin turned over and dismounted. She bit her lips. Suddenly, at this moment, she had an answer to the question that she had been struggling with for the entire night!
Why? Perhaps … … because she saw that devilish smile on this guy's face!
"I … …" Ruo Lin stood beside the carriage. She took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down on one knee beside Du Wei's carriage. Then she lowered her head and said in a very serious tone: "I, Ruo Lin # 8226, Munn, pledge my loyalty to you. I am willing to be your subordinate! In the remaining decades of my life, I will use my blood and life to protect my oath today! But, are you willing to accept my loyalty? "
Du Wei was silent for a moment. He looked at the girl who knelt on one knee in front of the carriage. Then he slowly opened his mouth: "You want to pledge your loyalty to me … … Why?"
"I don't know." Ruo Lin spoke her mind: "Maybe you are right. I am too tired. I already feel that my ability is far from enough to maintain all of this by myself. Maybe, I need to find a big tree to rely on. As for me, I am willing to be a vine that relies on a big tree to survive. "
"Do you think I am a suitable big tree?" Du Wei smiled.
"Yes." This time, Ruo Lin answered quickly: "Although I still don't know your identity, but you give me the feeling … … that you must be an extraordinary person! Or, you are destined to become an extraordinary person! "
"This is really difficult." Du Wei sighed. He turned to ask Mard: "Oh, Mard, I forgot. I should have the qualifications to recruit my own honorary Knight, right? How many Knight can I recruit in total? "
Du Wei did not seem to care about this question. "Yes, my master … …" Mard, the former coachman and the current chief steward, fortunately did a lot of homework before he was promoted. At least he learned some of the rules and traditions: "My master, you are the eldest son of the Count. Even if you cannot inherit the Count's title in the future, according to the Empire's law, you can at least get a Baron's title. And the Empire's law authorizes nobles like you to recruit ten honorary Knight of your own. "
"Thank you." Du Wei touched his nose: "Only ten places … … Although it is a little less. But, Knight can also be accompanied by squires, right? A Knight can be accompanied by several squires. In this way, the direct honorary Knight plus the squires of each Knight, there are a total of dozens of people. That's not a small number. "
After getting Mard's affirmation, Du Wei rubbed his temples, then raised his smiling face to look at the girl in front of him: "Well, I accept your allegiance. From now on, I grant you the identity of an honorary Knight of my subordinates … … Yes, you are the first honorary Knight I have granted a title to, and a female Knight."
Ruo Lin seemed to be a little afraid to look at Du Wei's smiling face. She lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you … … Also, since I have pledged my allegiance to you, then please tell me the identity of my master."
"Oh, my identity … … The current head of the Rowling family, the eldest son of Earl Raymond of the Imperial High Command, Du Wei # 8226 Rollin is me." Du Wei smiled and continued: "I almost forgot, I have a resounding nickname in the Imperial Capital … … They all call me … … 'Idiot'."
"Idiot?!" Ruo Lin widened her eyes.
What the hell! Is this kid an idiot? If he is an idiot, then there are no geniuses in the world! If he is an idiot, then the vast majority of the people in the world are imbeciles!
She didn't dare to show a trace of a smile. She quickly stood up, pointed to the two subordinates beside her and said: "Respected master, these two are my companions, their names are … …"
"No, no, no." Du Wei bluntly interrupted her: "Sorry, I don't have much interest in their names. And, you also heard that the law allows me to recruit only ten honorary Knight! I won't waste these quotas … … I still intend to keep the remaining quotas to recruit a few Paladin or Great Swordsman level experts. "
Du Wei didn't even look at Ruo Lin's two subordinates.
What a joke! That Barbarian Warrior only has a little bit of strength. As for that Archer … … Humph, I can just throw out a few hundred gold coins and I can recruit three to five of them! Even this female Knight … … Well, if it wasn't for the fact that she was a beauty with a pair of beautiful long legs … … Otherwise, with her martial arts, Du Wei wouldn't have taken a fancy to her.
"Ruo Lin # 8226 Knight of Munn Kingdom, now, you are my direct honorary Knight. Your two subordinates are counted as your retinue. As for your Knight badge and equipment, when we reach the destination, I will let the family servants prepare them for you. Now, please bring your people into the team and let's go. If everything goes well, we can reach home tonight. "
Ruo Lin didn't speak, but her two subordinates couldn't help but feel a little depressed about losing the opportunity to be bestowed with the title of Knight.
This was a real opportunity to become a Knight!
In general, there were only three ways to get the title of Knight. The first was to have a strong martial arts, then get the evaluation of the Knight Association and get a genuine Knight badge of different levels. This kind of Knight was considered the most formal Knight.
The second way was to devote oneself to the Light Shrines from a young age and be loyal to the church. After being trained in martial arts from a young age, one would become a Knight of the church through a strict selection when he grew up.
The third way was to be loyal to the aristocrats and be bestowed with the title of Honorary Knight directly by the aristocrats.
As for these two guys, first, they didn't have strong martial arts and couldn't pass the evaluation of the Knight Association. Second, they weren't members of the church and couldn't become Shrines Knight.
The only way to be promoted to a Knight was to be recruited by a certain aristocrat.
However, those who had the authority to recruit a Knight were some great aristocrats, and they wouldn't take a fancy to these guys with mediocre martial arts.
Looking at her two somewhat depressed companions, Ruo Lin could only comfort them in a low voice.
Ruo Lin's heart was complicated at the moment. Once she was loyal to Du Wei, it meant that she had lost her independence. The small independent group that she had painstakingly maintained in the past would disintegrate, and she would no longer be the leader, but a subordinate who was loyal to someone else.
However, what Ruo Lin didn't know was that many, many years later, when people looked back on history, they would mention this day!
Because later, the first official member of the "Demon Knight Order" of the ten great Demon Knights, whose name shook the continent: the female Knight who was the first to pledge loyalty to the demons, Ruo Lin Munn! This name was also engraved in history because of this special moment!
