"Complete the task and will be rewarded with a Tomato Elf Bug."
"Mission: The territory has no knights to protect it and is always on the verge of danger. The four Retainer Knight are useless, but more seedlings are waiting to be discovered. Seafood brings nutrition. Please select suitable young people for knight training. Reward: A World of Warcraft bird egg waiting to be broken."
Snake Script composed of Smoke slowly dissipated.
Liszt came back to his senses and found that Tomato Hamlet's task was easily completed. In fact, all Smoke Mission's tasks were not difficult. They just completed a set of procedures according to the situation.
"A magical beast egg that is waiting to be broken out of its shell. So, you are going to give me a flying magical beast." Liszt glanced at Dousen, who was lying at his feet, sticking out his tongue like a dog to dissipate heat, and suddenly thought of a wonderful picture.
The left hand holds the yellow, the right holds the blue sky.
This old man is going crazy as a teenager.
There is no Big Yellow dog, no eagle, but he has a more powerful monster. Violent Earth Dog Dousen has trained conditioned reflexes. As long as Liszt gives a command, it will pounce, bite, sit down, lie down, jump and climb. Compared with training a dog, Dousen is easier to train because it is smarter.
It's just that Violent Earth Dog of Dousen has not yet been able to successfully release the magic it can master - Rock Spike.
"I know how to train a dog, but I don't know how to cook an eagle. I don't know if this Magical Bird, which is about to become my pet, is smart or not, and whether it can be easily trained. If it can't be tamed, it can only be roasted and eaten." When feeling emotional, Liszt unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
Flower Town raises very few chickens, and they mainly lay eggs. It is not easy for him to even eat a chicken, let alone the rarer ducks and geese.
Now the mouth really "fade out like a bird".
Thorn Ridge is full of wild animals. Marcus has good archery skills and can easily shoot down a few birds. However, he has an arrogant temperament and yearns for nobility, so he will not easily become a hunter.
When nobles go hunting, it is called wild fun, but when he goes hunting, it is called self-degradation.
For Liszt, this is a strange concept, but for people like Marcus, this is the pursuit of life. Therefore, Liszt is not embarrassed to command Marcus, and just goes to kill a few birds to satisfy his greed.
"Originally, I didn't plan to form a knight team so soon. There are too few people now, so I can't select many outstanding young people. But now that the mission has been announced, let's form it. There should be hundreds of young people in the town who are over ten and under sixteen years old. We will select twelve people and form a team."
The knight squad consists of twelve people, one captain, one deputy, and ten members.
The big nobles will set up the Knight Academy themselves, select children to enter the Knight Academy practice from an early age, eliminate them in batches, and finally leave qualified personnel to become the lord's Retainer Knight, and join the knights. Marcus is such a knight, and his father sent him to the Knight Academy when he was very young.
Many sons of Baron and Baronet Knight will also practice at the Knight Academy, including Liszt, who all attended Knight Academy.
Flower Town doesn't have this foundation, so he can only choose a few healthy teenagers and build a nondescript knight team to train. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and Liszt has no choice. Let's fool around for a while, and then finish Smoke Mission.
"Sir, do you want to select a new Retainer Knight to form a knight team?" After learning the meaning of Liszt from the dinner party, Thomas suddenly became excited.
"Flower Town's food is plentiful, so we don't need to be conservative. The patrol team is hard to count on. They are just a group of ordinary people. The four of them, Karl, haven't developed fighting spirit yet, so I need new strength to guard Flower Town's safety... Winter is only half a year away."
Liszt said and blinked, "In fact, I will attack Thorn Ridge sooner or later. They are the resistance to the development of Flower Town. Teacher Marcus, you need to preside over the selection and training of the knight team." The count did not draw boundaries for the town, so he could naturally choose to annex Thorn Ridge.
Thomas immediately performed the knight etiquette and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, sir, Marcus will definitely select qualified knight reserve team members and train them to pass the exam!"
"I will let Teacher Gortai fully cooperate with you and train them well, Teacher Marcus."
"As you wish, my lord!"
When Marcus left the castle, he held his head high and showed his elite Earth Knight style without any reservation. Since coming to Flower Town, he has always been depressed. Apart from protecting Liszt, the only thing he can do every day is to train Karl and other four Retainer Knight.
He saw Liszt's wisdom and luck, understood Liszt's courage and ambition, decided to serve, and lay dormant waiting to make achievements.
I also saw the "wealth of the sea" mentioned by Liszt, and I became even more convinced.
But from the beginning to the end, he was a little embarrassed, not knowing what role he could play in the small town. At least for a few years, Liszt would not go to the battlefield - without knights, how would he go to the battlefield. He wanted to wipe out Thorn Ridge, but relying on him alone, Earth Knight, would not be able to accomplish it.
It's quite a pity that "there is no way to serve the country".
Now, the opportunity finally came, Liszt chose to form a knight squad and took the first step to achieve great success. He couldn't wait to immediately select the most suitable Retainer Knight, train them to have combat effectiveness, and immediately eliminate Thorn Ridge. When Grand Duchy starts a new war, he can join the war at any time.
That night, he asked for the census list of Flower Town from Gortai.
All teenagers over ten and under sixteen were selected, and four Retainer Knight were sent to bring these teenagers from their respective homes the next day.
The sun was scorching the earth, and a total of two hundred and thirty-three young men of various heights, short, fat, and thin stood with their chests held out and seriously.
There were complex expressions in the eyes such as desire, nervousness, worry, fear and longing. They had all been informed that it was the lord who was planning to select Retainer Knight.
They all understand the meaning of Retainer Knight. Even if they don't understand it, their parents and neighbors will tell them the meaning.
Retainer Knight is divided into two categories.
One type is Retainer Knight who are mainly "servants" such as Karl·Hammer, Rom·Barrel. They are serfs who sold themselves to the nobles. Their main task is to travel with the nobles. When going to the battlefield, they are responsible for carrying equipment, washing and cooking, etc.
The other type is Retainer Knight who are mainly "knights" like Marcus. Most of them are free citizens and their main task is to fight.
Many sons of minor nobles will also serve as Retainer Knight in the territories of other nobles to learn the fighting skills of knights and noble etiquette. After completing their studies, they will either return home to inherit the title or go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds.
Basically.
Retainer Knight is the reserve force of the nobles, an admission qualification.
Even if you are a serf, after being elected as Retainer Knight, if you make meritorious service, your status as a free citizen will be returned. If you make further meritorious service, you can still be ennobled with a title.
Even if you don't make much achievements, you will have enough food and drink to follow the nobles, and you can save money to support your family.
So.
The teenagers all stood up straight, trying to make themselves better, hoping to be selected as Retainer Knight - they all understood that this was an opportunity to change their destiny, which might only come once in a lifetime.
Marcus was riding on Yellow-Gray Horse, looking at the young men one by one, and could vaguely see his own shadow. Many years ago, he had experienced such a selection and was selected by the Earl's knight captain. Of course, at that time, he had already studied at the Knight Academy for two years.
The young people in front of me have zero foundation.
