Chapter 134 Followers
"Royce, come out!"
Following the secretary's instructions, instructor Sonne called out Royce's name, and a dark, lanky boy quickly stood up.
"Follow me." Instructor Sonnet ordered, then turned to the team and shouted, "Who dares to shake their legs when I'm not around? Ten lashes!"
Then he took Royce and followed the secretary to the dean's office.
"Dean."
"Sonne, you go down and rest first." The dean waved his hand and sent instructor Sone off to rest. Then he asked the tall and thin boy with a smile, "Is your name Royce?" "Yes
. Yes, Dean." Royce didn't know why.
The dean said to Duke: "Your Excellency Duke, this child is Royce... Royce, please meet Lord Duke quickly. Lord Duke is an arcane mage!" "
Ah!" Royce Startled, he stammered, "D-Master Duke, Royce says hello to you."
Duke looked at Royce and was sure that this was the Royce he was looking for. There was a vague hint of Robney in his facial features.
"I know your father, Robney." Duke said gently, "In his last moments, he gave me a favor." "
My father?" Royce's eyes widened, "What happened to my father? "
He's dead."
"Ah!" Royce roared, his chest heaving and panting violently. It took him a while to calm down, and two lines of tears flowed down his eyes. "I knew he was dead."
Duke sighed: "My condolences."
"Sir Duke, may I know how my father died?"
"Injured while hunting." Duke told a white lie.
Otherwise, telling the truth that Robney was killed by the Venomous Fang Gang of the Black Snake family will only put Royce into a dilemma of revenge.
Revenge, if you don't have the strength, you might even lose your life.
If you don't take revenge, you will have to bear the condemnation of your conscience.
certainly.
If Royce doesn't believe it and insists on asking, Duke will still tell him the truth. However, Royce believed Duke's statement and did not ask for details.
"Royce..."
Duke was about to say something.
Royce suddenly said sadly: "I knew he would die during the hunting. As far as I can remember, he never stayed at home for more than two days, and he was always looking for spiritual beasts... But I didn't want him to give me his spirit." Beast, I can rely on myself to become a knight!"
"Oh, what a poor child." The dean pretended to lament.
Duke waited for Royce to vent his emotions and then said: "The deceased is gone, there is nothing we can do. But I will return the favor that your father exchanged for you."
Royce wiped away his tears.
Duke continued: "You have two choices. First, I will give you a 1st-level spirit beast cub to help you promote to 1st-level knight." After saying this, everyone, including the dean
, Everyone showed a sour taste of envy.
It is true that knight training is not difficult, but not everyone can be promoted to the 1st level knight. Many knights spend their entire lives at level 0.
Giving Royce time to digest, Duke spoke again: "Second, swear allegiance to me, become my follower, and serve me." As soon as the
second option came out, everyone looked at Royce, becomes more complex.
Even Royce, who was still immersed in the grief of his father's death, couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Duke in disbelief.
These two options are undoubtedly a dream opportunity for any knight.
"I choose the second one." Royce replied without hesitation.
Being able to serve an official arcane mage master would obviously have a broader future than being a part-time working knight.
The dean immediately smiled and praised: "What a smart choice. You are so lucky to be a follower of His Excellency Duke, Royce."
Duke smiled: "Then, you will be my follower. "
Yes, sir!" Royce knelt down on one knee and performed the knight's etiquette.
The aristocratic system of the Seven Towers Federation only has three levels: uncle, son, and male, so the etiquette of followers has been simplified to what it is today.
When it was over, Duke was leaving.
"Your Excellency Duke, can I say a few words to Royce?" Instructor Sonnet suddenly said.
"Yes." Duke nodded, "Royce, say goodbye to your friends in the monastery, pack up and salute, and then come to meet me at No. 17 at Beverly Manor." "Yes, sir." Everyone said goodbye
to
Duke leave.
Instructor Sone took Royce to a corner, with envy and relief in his eyes: "I know this Duke, the arcane mage who rang the bell in the Magic Tower two days ago, so Royce , you must seize this opportunity."
"I will, instructor."
"Don't slack off, or think that becoming a follower of the Arcanist means you don't have to work hard. Among my group of trainee knights, you My qualifications are mediocre, so I have to work harder after I leave. If your talent can't impress the Arcane Mage, you can impress it with your sweat." "
Yes."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, just go ahead and develop. I hope you will be the same when we meet again in the future. I have become a great knight."
"Thank you, instructor, I will work hard!" Royce nodded solemnly.
...
"Sir, where do you plan to arrange your followers?" Mulali asked in the car.
“If there is an affordable community nearby, I am going to rent a few units to house my followers,” Duke said.
"There is no suitable location in the inner city. Close to the ring road in the inner city, opposite our Beverly Manor and across a street, is the Huanshuiyuan Community." Mulali has obviously done her homework, "Over there The house price is a bit high, but it is the most suitable for placing followers."
Then Mulali added: "I heard from my aunt that many arcane mages in the manor have placed their followers in the Huanshuiyuan community." "Good, good
, But I have no money for the time being, little Lili." Duke leaned back in his chair and sighed.
Mulali obviously liked the nickname "Little Lili" very much. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "After you join the company, you will make a lot of money, sir." "Let's take a look first." Wait until
Xiao
Lili As the car drove back to Beverly Manor, Levin held several invitations and handed them to Duke.
They were all property owners near Beverly Manor, and they wanted to invite Duke to dinner, but there was only one from the Shangxing City Community.
"Joanna Bobcat..." Duke looked at the invitation.
There is no doubt that among the owners of these invitations, Joanna Bobcat has the most distinguished status, even though she is only a 1st level arcane mage.
But her father, Jovis Bobcat, was one of the current rulers of the Union Tower and a member of the leadership team of the entire Black Dragon River Land.
And he is one of the only sixteen 3-ring arcane mages in Shenjiao City.
"You have to give face." Duke had already made a decision in his mind and handed the invitation to Mulali, "Reply Joanna, I will go to the banquet tonight... By the way, do you think that as a friend, if I go to the banquet, I need to What souvenirs should I bring?"
Murali, who was born in a noble family, is most suitable for Duke because she knows a lot about social etiquette.
Mulali asked about Joanna's identity, thought for a while and said: "Ms. Joanna has a noble status, but your status is equally noble. Since you are attending the banquet as a friend, why not bring a bottle of vintage wine. "
Well, I'll leave it to you to buy."
